This Pooling and Servicing Agreement (this "Agreement"), is dated and
effective as of September 1, 1997, among GMAC COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE SECURITIES,
INC., as Depositor, GMAC COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE CORPORATION, as Master Servicer,
GMAC COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE CORPORATION, as Special Servicer, LaSalle National
Bank, as Trustee, and ABN AMRO Bank N.V., as Fiscal Agent.
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT:
The Depositor intends to sell the Certificates, to be issued hereunder
in multiple Classes, which in the aggregate will evidence the entire beneficial
ownership interest in the Trust Fund to be created hereunder, the primary
assets of which will be the Mortgage Loans. The aggregate of the initial Stated
Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans is approximately $1,696,984,278.
As provided herein, the Trustee will elect to treat the segregated
pool of assets consisting of the Mortgage Loans and certain other related
assets subject to this Agreement as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes,
and such segregated pool of assets will be designated as "REMIC I". The Class
R-I Certificates will represent the sole class of "residual interests" in REMIC
I for purposes of the REMIC Provisions under federal income tax law. With
respect to each Mortgage Loan, there shall be a corresponding REMIC I Regular
Interest. The designation for each such REMIC I Regular Interest shall be the
loan number for the related Mortgage Loan set forth on the schedule of Mortgage
Loans attached hereto as Schedule I. The REMIC I Remittance Rate (as defined
herein) and the initial Uncertificated Principal Balance of each such REMIC I
Regular Interest shall be based on the Net Mortgage Rate and the Cut-off Date
Principal Balance, respectively, for the related Mortgage Loan. Determined
solely for purposes of satisfying Treasury regulation Section
1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii), the "latest possible maturity date" for each such REMIC I
Regular Interest shall be the first Distribution Date that follows the Stated
Maturity Date for the related Mortgage Loan. None of the REMIC I Regular
Interests will be certificated.
As provided herein, the Trustee will elect to treat the segregated
pool of assets consisting of the REMIC I Regular Interests as a REMIC for
federal income tax purposes, and such segregated pool of assets will be
designated as REMIC II. The Class R-II Certificates will represent the sole
class of "residual interests" in REMIC II for purposes of the REMIC Provisions
under federal income tax law. The following table irrevocably sets forth the
designation, REMIC II Remittance Rate and the initial Uncertificated Principal
Balance for each of the REMIC II Regular Interests. Determined solely for
purposes of satisfying Treasury regulation Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii), the
"latest possible maturity date" for each REMIC II Regular Interest shall be the
first Distribution Date that is at least two years after the end of the
remaining amortization schedule of the Mortgage Loan that has, as of the
Closing Date, the longest remaining amortization schedule, irrespective of its
scheduled maturity. None of the REMIC II Regular Interests will be
certificated.

federal income tax purposes, and such segregated pool of assets will be
designated as "REMIC III". The Class R-III Certificates will represent the sole
class of "residual interests" in REMIC III for purposes of the REMIC Provisions
under federal income tax law. The following table irrevocably sets forth the
designation, the Pass-Through Rate and initial Class Principal Balance for each
of the Classes of REMIC III Regular Certificates. Determined solely for
purposes of satisfying Treasury regulation section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii), the
"latest possible maturity date" for each Class of REMIC III Regular
Certificates shall be the first Distribution Date that is at least two years
after the end of the remaining amortization schedule of the Mortgage Loan that

"Accrued Certificate Interest": With respect to any Class of REMIC III
Regular Certificates for any Distribution Date, one month's interest
(calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months)
at the Pass-Through Rate applicable to such Class of Certificates for such

federal income tax purposes.
"Additional Trust Fund Expense": Any expense experienced with respect

less than the full amount of principal and/or interest to which they are
entitled on any Distribution Date.
"Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan": A Mortgage Loan as to which the
related Mortgage Note provides, as of the Closing Date, for periodic

the original Mortgage Note, the Mortgage Loan Seller shall deliver a copy or
duplicate original of such Mortgage Note, together with an affidavit certifying
that the original thereof has been lost or destroyed. If the related Mortgage
Loan Seller cannot deliver, or cause to be delivered, as to any Mortgage Loan,
any of the documents and/or instruments referred to in clauses (ii), (iv), (xi)
and (xii) of the definition of "Mortgage File", with evidence of recording or
filing, as the case may be, thereon, because of a delay caused by the public
recording or filing office where such document or instrument has been delivered
for recordation or filing, or because such original recorded document has been
lost or returned from the recording or filing office and subsequently lost, as
the case may be, the delivery requirements of the related Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement and this Section 2.01(b) shall be deemed to have been
satisfied as to such missing document or instrument, and such missing document
or instrument shall be deemed to have been included in the Mortgage File,
provided that a photocopy of such missing document or instrument (certified by
the related Mortgage Loan Seller to be a true and complete copy of the original
thereof submitted for recording or filing, as the case may be) is delivered to
the Trustee or a Custodian appointed thereby on or before the Closing Date. If
the related Mortgage Loan Seller cannot deliver, or cause to be delivered, as
to any Mortgage Loan, the original or a copy of the
54
related lender's title insurance policy referred to in clause (ix) of the
definition of "Mortgage File" solely because such policy has not yet been
issued, the delivery requirements of this Section 2.01(b) shall be deemed to be
satisfied as to such missing item, and such missing item shall be deemed to
have been included in the related Mortgage File, provided that the related
Mortgage Loan Seller shall have delivered to the Trustee or a Custodian
appointed thereby, on or before the Closing Date, a commitment for title
insurance "marked-up" at the closing of such Mortgage Loan, and the related
Mortgage Loan Seller shall deliver to the Trustee or such Custodian, promptly
following the receipt thereof, the original related lender's title insurance
policy (or a copy thereof). In addition, notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, if there exists with respect to any group of related
Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loans only one original of any document referred
to in the definition of "Mortgage File" covering all the Mortgage Loans in such
group, then the inclusion of the original of such document in the Mortgage File
for any of the Mortgage Loans in such group shall be deemed an inclusion of
such original in the Mortgage File for each such Mortgage Loan. Neither the
Trustee nor any Custodian shall in any way be liable for any failure by the
Mortgage Loan Seller or the Depositor to comply with the delivery requirements
of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Section 2.01(b).
If any of the endorsements referred to in clause (i) of the definition
of "Mortgage File", or any of the assignments referred to in clauses (iii), (v)
and (vii) of the definition of "Mortgage File", are delivered to the Trustee in
blank, the Trustee shall be responsible for completing the related endorsement
or assignment in the name of the Trustee (in such capacity).
(c) Except under the circumstances provided for in the last sentence
of this subsection (c), the Trustee shall, as to each Mortgage Loan, at the
expense of the related Mortgage Loan Seller, promptly (and in any event within
45 days of the Closing Date) cause 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 appropriate, each assignment referred to in
clauses (iii) and (v) of the definition of "Mortgage File" and each UCC-2 and
UCC-3 referred to in clause (xi) (B) of the definition of "Mortgage File". 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. If any such document or instrument is lost or
returned unrecorded or unfiled, as the case may be, because of a defect
therein, the Trustee shall direct the related Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to
the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement promptly to prepare or cause to be
prepared a substitute therefor or cure such defect, as the case may be, and
thereafter the Trustee shall upon receipt thereof cause the same to be duly
recorded or filed, as appropriate.
(d) All documents and records in the Depositor's or any Mortgage Loan
Seller's possession relating to the Mortgage Loans that are not required to be
a part of a Mortgage File in accordance with the definition thereof shall be
delivered to the Master Servicer on or before the Closing Date and shall be
held by the Master Servicer (or a Sub-Servicer retained thereby) on behalf of
the Trustee in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders. If the
Sub-Servicer shall hold any
55
original documents and records delivered to it pursuant to this clause (d) then
the Sub-Servicer shall deliver copies thereof to the Master Servicer.
(e) In connection with the Depositor's assignment pursuant to
subsection (a) above, the Depositor shall deliver, and hereby represents and
warrants that it has delivered, to the Trustee and the Master Servicer, on or
before the Closing Date, a fully executed original counterpart of each Mortgage
Loan Purchase Agreement, as in full force and effect, without amendment or
modification, on the Closing Date.
SECTION 2.02 Acceptance by Trustee.
(a) The Trustee, by the execution and delivery of this Agreement,
acknowledges receipt by it or a Custodian on its behalf, subject to the
provisions of Section 2.01 and the further review provided for in this Section
2.02, and further subject to any exceptions noted on any exception report
prepared by the Trustee or such Custodian and attached hereto as Schedule II,

a fully executed original counterpart of each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement
and of all other assets included in REMIC I and delivered to it, in good faith
and without notice of any adverse claim, and declares that it or a Custodian on
its behalf holds and will hold such documents and the other documents delivered
or caused to be delivered by the Mortgage Loan Sellers constituting the
Mortgage Files, and that it holds and will hold such other assets included in
REMIC I, in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future
Certificateholders.
(b) Within 60 days of the Closing Date, the Trustee or a Custodian on
its behalf shall review each of the Mortgage Loan documents delivered or caused
to be delivered by the Mortgage Loan Sellers constituting the Mortgage Files;
and, promptly following such review, the Trustee shall certify in writing to
each of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and each
Mortgage Loan Seller that, as to each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan
Schedule (other than any Mortgage Loan paid in full or any Mortgage Loan
specifically identified in any exception report annexed thereto as not being
covered by such certification), (i) all documents specified in clauses (i) -
(iii), (ix) and (xii) (to the extent the Trustee has been notified of the
execution of a power of attorney with respect to a particular Mortgage Loan) of
the definition of "Mortgage File" are in its possession or the related Mortgage
Loan Seller has otherwise satisfied the delivery requirements in accordance
with Section 2.01(b), (ii) all documents delivered or caused to be delivered by
the related Mortgage Loan Seller constituting the related Mortgage File have
been reviewed by it or by a Custodian on its behalf and appear regular on their
face and relate to such Mortgage Loan, and (iii) based on such examination and
only as to the foregoing documents, the information set forth in the Mortgage
Loan Schedule with respect to the items specified in clauses (i), (ii),
(iii)(B), (iv), (vii) and (ix) of the definition of "Mortgage Loan Schedule",
is correct.
(c) The Trustee or a Custodian on its behalf shall review each of the
Mortgage Loan documents received thereby subsequent to the Closing Date; and,
on or about the first
56
anniversary of the Closing Date, the Trustee shall certify in writing to each
of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and each Mortgage
Loan Seller that, as to each Mortgage Loan listed on the Mortgage Loan Schedule
(other than any Mortgage Loan as to which a Liquidation Event has occurred) and
except as specifically identified in any exception report annexed to such
certification), (i) all documents specified in clauses (i), (ii), (ix) and
(xii) (to the extent the Trustee has been notified of the execution of a power
of attorney with respect to a particular Mortgage Loan) of the definition of
"Mortgage File" are in its possession or the related Mortgage Loan Seller has
otherwise satisfied the delivery requirements in accordance with Section
2.01(b), (ii) it or a Custodian on its behalf has received either a recorded
original of each of the assignments specified in clauses (iii) and, insofar as
an unrecorded original thereof had been delivered or caused to be delivered by
the related Mortgage Loan Seller, (v) of the definition of "Mortgage File" or a
copy of such recorded original certified by the applicable public recording
office to be true and complete, (iii) all Mortgage Loan documents received by
it or any Custodian have been reviewed by it or by such Custodian on its behalf
and appear regular on their face and relate to such Mortgage Loan, and (iv)
based on the examinations referred to in subsection (b) above and this
subsection (c) and only as to the foregoing documents, the information set
forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule with respect to the items specified in
clauses (i), (ii), (iii)(B), (iv), (vii) and (ix) of the definition of
"Mortgage Loan Schedule", is correct.
(d) It is acknowledged that neither the Trustee nor any Custodian is
under any duty or obligation (i) to determine whether any of the documents
specified in clauses (iv) - (viii), (x), (xi) and (xiii) of the definition of
"Mortgage File" exist or are required to be delivered by the Depositor, any
Mortgage Loan Seller or any other Person or (ii) to inspect, review or examine
any of the documents, instruments, certificates or other papers relating to the
Mortgage Loans delivered to it to determine that the same are genuine,
enforceable, in recordable form or appropriate for the represented purpose or
that they are other than what they purport to be on their face.
(e) If, in the process of reviewing the Mortgage Files or at any time
thereafter, the Trustee or any Custodian finds (or, if at any time, any other
party hereto finds) any document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage
File to have not been properly executed or, subject to Section 2.01(b), to have
not been delivered, to contain information that does not conform in any
material respect with the corresponding information set forth in the Mortgage
Loan Schedule, or to be defective on its face (each, a "Defect" in the related
Mortgage File) the Trustee (or such other party) shall promptly so notify each
of the other parties hereto and the related Mortgage Loan Seller (and, in the
case of ContiTrade, the Xxxxx Guarantor). If and when notified of any error in
the Mortgage Loan Schedule, the Depositor shall promptly correct such error and
distribute a new, corrected Mortgage Loan Schedule to each of the other parties
hereto, and upon receipt by the Trustee of such a corrected Mortgage Loan
Schedule so identified, such new, corrected Mortgage Loan Schedule shall be
deemed to amend and replace the existing Mortgage Loan Schedule for all
purposes.
57
SECTION 2.03 Mortgage Loan Sellers' Repurchase of Mortgage Loans for
Defects in Mortgage Files and Breaches of Representations
and Warranties.
(a) If the Trustee discovers or receives notice of a Defect in any
Mortgage File or a breach of any representation or warranty set forth in
Section 4(a) of each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (a "Breach"), which
Defect or Breach, as the case may be, materially and adversely affects the
value of any Mortgage Loan or the interests of the Certificateholders therein,
or if the Trustee discovers or receives notice of any event that would give
rise to the repurchase of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 6(b) of any
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice
of such Defect, Breach or event, as the case may be, to the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Rating Agencies and the related
Mortgage Loan Seller and shall request that the related Mortgage Loan Seller
(and, in the case of ContiTrade, the Xxxxx Guarantor), within the time period
provided for in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, cure such Defect,
Breach or event, as the case may be, in all material respects or repurchase the
affected Mortgage Loan at the applicable Purchase Price in conformity with the
related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, provided, however, that in lieu of
effecting any such repurchase, a Mortgage Loan Seller will be permitted to
deliver a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan and to pay a cash amount equal to
the applicable Substitution Shortfall Amount, subject to the terms and
conditions of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Agreement.
As to any Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans, the Trustee
shall direct the related Mortgage Loan Seller to deliver to the Trustee for
such Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan or Loans (with a copy to the Master
Servicer), the related Mortgage File(s) with the related Mortgage Note(s)
endorsed as required by clause (i) of the definition of "Mortgage File". No
substitution may be made in any calendar month after the Determination Date for
such month. Monthly Payments due with respect to Qualifying Substitute Mortgage
Loans in the month of substitution shall not be part of the Trust Fund and will
be retained by Master Servicer and remitted by the Master Servicer to the
related Mortgage Loan Seller on the next succeeding Distribution Date. For the
month of Substitution, distributions to Certificateholders will include the
Monthly Payment due on the related Deleted Mortgage Loan for such month and
thereafter the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall be entitled to retain all
amounts received in respect of such Deleted Mortgage Loan.
58
In any month in which the related Mortgage Loan Seller substitutes one
or more Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage
Loans, the Master Servicer will determine the applicable Substitution Shortfall
Amount. The Trustee shall direct the related Mortgage Loan Seller to deposit
cash equal to such amount into the Distribution Account concurrently with the
delivery of the Mortgage File(s) for the Qualifying Substitute Mortgage
Loan(s), without any reimbursement thereof. The Trustee shall also direct the
related Mortgage Loan Seller to give written notice to the Trustee and the
Master Servicer of such deposit, accompanied by an Officers' Certificate as to
the calculation the applicable Substitution Shortfall Amount. The Trustee shall
amend or direct the related Mortgage Loan Seller to amend the Mortgage Loan
Schedule to reflect the removal of each Deleted Mortgage Loan and, if
applicable, the substitution of the Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan(s);
and, upon such amendment, the Trustee shall deliver or cause the delivery of
such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the other parties hereto. Upon any such
substitution, the Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan(s) shall be subject to
the terms of this Agreement in all respects.
(b) In connection with any repurchase of or substitution for a
Mortgage Loan contemplated by this Section 2.03, the Trustee, the Master
Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each tender promptly to the related
Mortgage Loan Seller, upon delivery to each of the Trustee, the Master Servicer
and the Special Servicer of a trust receipt executed by the related Mortgage
Loan Seller, all portions of the Mortgage File and other documents pertaining
to such Mortgage Loan possessed by it, and each document that constitutes a
part of the related Mortgage File that was endorsed or assigned to the Trustee
shall be endorsed or assigned, as the case may be, to the related Mortgage Loan
Seller in the same manner as provided in Section 2 of the related Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement. If the affected Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased, the
Trustee shall designate the Certificate Account as the account to which funds
in the amount of the Purchase Price are to be wired.
(c) Section 6 of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement provides
the sole remedy available to the Certificateholders, or the Trustee on behalf
of the Certificateholders, respecting any Defect in a Mortgage File or any
Breach of any representation or warranty set forth in or required to be made
pursuant to Section 4(a) of such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or any of the
circumstances described in Section 6(b) of such Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement.
(d) The Trustee shall, for the benefit of the Certificateholders,
enforce the obligations of each Mortgage Loan Seller under Section 6 of the
related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (and, in the case of ContiTrade, to
the extent necessary, the corresponding obligations of Xxxxx Guarantor under
the Xxxxx Guaranty Agreement). Such enforcement, including, without limitation,
the legal prosecution of claims, shall be carried out in such form, to such
extent and at such time as the Trustee would require were it, in its individual
capacity, the owner of the affected Mortgage Loan(s). The Trustee shall be
reimbursed for the reasonable costs of such enforcement, together with interest
thereon at the Reimbursement Rate: first, from a specific recovery of costs,
expenses or attorneys' fees against the related Mortgage Loan Seller (or if
applicable, the Xxxxx Guarantor); second, pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(viii) out
of the related Purchase Price, to the extent
59
that such expenses are a specific component thereof; and third, if at the
conclusion of such enforcement action it is determined that the amounts
described in clauses first and second are insufficient, then pursuant to
Section 3.05(a)(ix) out of general collections on the Mortgage Loans on deposit
in the Certificate Account.
SECTION 2.04 Issuance of Class R-I Certificates; Creation of REMIC I
Regular Interests.
Concurrently with the assignment to the Trustee of the assets included
in REMIC I, and in exchange therefor, at the direction of the Depositor, the
REMIC I Regular Interests have been issued hereunder and the Trustee has
executed, and caused the Certificate Registrar to authenticate and deliver, to
or upon the order of the Depositor, the Class R-I Certificates in authorized

SECTION 2.05 Conveyance of REMIC I Regular Interests; Acceptance of
REMIC II by the Trustee.
The Depositor, as of the Closing Date, and concurrently with the
execution and delivery hereof, does hereby assign without recourse all the
right, title and interest of the Depositor in and to the REMIC I Regular
Interests to the Trustee for the benefit of the Class R-II Certificateholders
and REMIC II Regular Interest holders. The Trustee acknowledges the assignment
to it of the REMIC I Regular Interests and declares that it holds and will hold
the same in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future
Class R-II Certificateholders and REMIC II Regular Interest holders.
SECTION 2.06 Issuance of Class R-II Certificates; Creation of REMIC II
Regular Interest.
Concurrently with the assignment to the Trustee of the REMIC I Regular
Interests, and in exchange therefor, at the direction of the Depositor, the
REMIC II Regular Interests have been issued hereunder and the Trustee has
executed, and caused the Certificate Registrar to authenticate and deliver, to
or upon the order of the Depositor, the Class R-II Certificates in authorized
denominations. The interests evidenced by the Class R-II Certificates, together
with the REMIC II Regular Interests, constitute the entire beneficial ownership
of REMIC II. The rights of the Class R-II Certificateholders and REMIC III to
receive distributions from the proceeds of REMIC II in respect of the Class
R-II Certificates and the REMIC II Regular Interests, respectively, and all
ownership interests of the Class R-II Certificateholders and REMIC III in and
to such distributions, shall be as set forth in this Agreement.
60
SECTION 2.07 Conveyance of REMIC II Regular Interests; Acceptance of
REMIC III by Trustee.
The Depositor, as of the Closing Date, and concurrently with the
execution and delivery hereof, does hereby assign without recourse all the
right, title and interest of the Depositor in and to the REMIC II Regular
Interests to the Trustee for the benefit of the REMIC III Certificateholders.
The Trustee acknowledges the assignment to it of the REMIC II Regular Interests
and declares that it holds and will hold the same in trust for the exclusive
use and benefit of all present and future REMIC III Certificateholders.
SECTION 2.08 Issuance of REMIC III Certificates.
Concurrently with the assignment to the Trustee of the REMIC II
Regular Interests, and in exchange therefor, at the direction of the Depositor,
the Trustee has executed, and caused the Certificate Registrar to authenticate
and deliver, to or upon the order of the Depositor, the REMIC III Certificates
in authorized denominations evidencing the entire beneficial ownership of REMIC
III. The rights of the respective Classes of REMIC III Certificateholders to
receive distributions from the proceeds of REMIC III in respect of their REMIC

REMIC III Certificateholders in and to such distributions, shall be as set
forth in this Agreement.
ARTICLE III
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
OF THE TRUST FUND
SECTION 3.01 Servicing and Administration of the Mortgage Loans.
(a) Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall service
and administer the Mortgage Loans that it is obligated to service and
administer pursuant to this Agreement on behalf of the Trustee and in the best
interests of and for the benefit of the Certificateholders (as determined by
the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, in its good
faith and reasonable judgment), in accordance with applicable law, the terms of
this Agreement and the terms of the respective Mortgage Loans and, to the
extent consistent with the foregoing, further as follows: (i) with the same
care, skill and diligence as is normal and usual in its general mortgage
servicing and REO property management activities on behalf of third parties or
on behalf of itself, whichever is higher, with respect to mortgage loans and
REO properties that are comparable to those for which it is responsible
hereunder; (ii) with a view to the timely collection of all scheduled payments
of principal and interest under the Mortgage Loans or, if a Mortgage Loan comes
into and continues in default and if, in the good faith and reasonable judgment
of the Special Servicer, no satisfactory arrangements can be made for the
collection of the delinquent payments, the maximization of the recovery on such
Mortgage Loan to the Certificateholders (as a collective whole) on a present
value basis (the relevant discounting of
61
anticipated collections that will be distributable to Certificateholders to be
performed at the related Net Mortgage Rate); and (iii) without regard to (A)
any relationship that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case
may be, or any Affiliate thereof may have with the related Mortgagor, (B) the
ownership of any Certificate by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as
the case may be, or by any Affiliate thereof, (C) the Master Servicer's
obligation to make Advances, (D) the Special Servicer's obligation to make (or
to direct the Master Servicer to make) Servicing Advances and (E) the right of
the Master Servicer (or any Affiliate thereof) or the Special Servicer (or any
Affiliate thereof), as the case may be, to receive reimbursement of costs, or
the sufficiency of any compensation payable to it, hereunder or with respect to
any particular transaction (the conditions set forth in the immediately
foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), the "Servicing Standard"). Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the Master Servicer and the
Special Servicer, in its own name, in connection with its servicing and
administrative duties hereunder is hereby authorized and empowered by the
Trustee to exercise efforts consistent with the foregoing standard and to
execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee or any
of them, any and all financing statements, continuation statements and other
documents or instruments necessary to maintain the lien created by any Mortgage
or other security document in the related Mortgage File on the related
Mortgaged Property and related collateral; subject to Section 3.20, any and all
modifications, waivers, amendments or consents to or with respect to any
documents contained in the related Mortgage File; and any and all instruments
of satisfaction or cancellation, or of full release or discharge, and all other
comparable instruments, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged
Properties. Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer is also
authorized to approve a request by a Mortgagor under a Mortgage Loan that it is
obligated to service and administer pursuant to this Agreement, for an
easement, consent to alteration or demolition, and for other similar matters,
provided that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be,
determines, exercising its good faith business judgment and in accordance with
the Servicing Standard, that such approval will not affect the security for, or
the timely and full collectability of, the related Mortgage Loan. Subject to
Section 3.10, the Trustee shall furnish, or cause to be furnished, to the
Master Servicer and the Special Servicer any powers of attorney and other
documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as the case may be, to carry out its servicing and administrative
duties hereunder; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be held liable,
and shall be indemnified by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as
applicable for any negligence with respect to, or misuse of, any such power of
attorney by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be.
(b) Subject to Section 3.01(a) , the Master Servicer and the Special
Servicer each shall have full power and authority, acting alone or, subject to
Section 3.22, through Sub-Servicers, to do or cause to be done any and all
things in connection with such servicing and administration which it may deem
necessary or desirable.
(c) The relationship of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer
to the Trustee and, unless the same Person acts in both capacities, to each
other under this Agreement is intended by the parties to be that of an
independent contractor and not that of a joint venturer, partner or agent.
Unless the same Person acts in both capacities, the Master Servicer shall have
no
62
responsibility for the performance by the Special Servicer of its duties under
this Agreement, and the Special Servicer shall have no responsibility for the
performance of the Master Servicer under this Agreement.
SECTION 3.02 Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments.
The Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer with respect to the
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) shall make reasonable efforts to collect all
payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans, and
shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement
and the terms and conditions of the Mortgage Loans, follow such collection
procedures as are consistent with the Servicing Standard; provided, however,
that nothing herein contained shall be construed as an express or implied
guarantee by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer of the collectability
of the Mortgage Loans. Consistent with the foregoing, the Master Servicer may
in its discretion waive any Penalty Charge in connection with any delinquent
payment on a Mortgage Loan (other than a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan) and
the Special Servicer may in its discretion waive any Penalty Charge in
connection with any delinquent payment on a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan.
SECTION 3.03 Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items;
Servicing Accounts and Reserve Accounts.
(a) Each of the Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer with respect
to the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) shall establish and maintain one or
more accounts (the "Servicing Accounts"), into which all Escrow Payments shall
be deposited and retained. Servicing Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts.
Withdrawals of amounts so collected in respect of any Mortgage Loan (and
interest earned thereon) from a Servicing Account may be made only to: (i)
effect payment of real estate taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, ground
rents (if applicable) and comparable items in respect of the related Mortgaged
Property; (ii) reimburse the Fiscal Agent, the Trustee, the Master Servicer and
the Special Servicer, in that order, as applicable, for any unreimbursed
Servicing Advances made thereby to cover any of the items described in the
immediately preceding clause (i); (iii) refund to the related Mortgagor any
sums as may be deter mined to be overages; (iv) pay interest, if required and
as described below, to the related Mortgagor on balances in the Servicing
Account (or, if and to the extent not payable to the related Mortgagor, to pay
such interest to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable); (v)
disburse Insurance Proceeds if required to be applied to the repair or
restoration of the related Mortgaged Property; or (vi) clear and terminate the
Servicing Account at the termination of this Agreement in accordance with
Section 9.01. As part of its servicing duties, the Master Servicer and the
Special Servicer shall pay or cause to be paid to the Mortgagors interest on
funds in Servicing Accounts maintained thereby, to the extent required by law
or the terms of the related Mortgage Loan.
(b) Each of the Master Servicer (with respect to Mortgage Loans other
than Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) and the Special Servicer (with respect
to the Specially Serviced
63
Mortgage Loans) shall (i) maintain accurate records with respect to each
related Mortgaged Property reflecting the status of real estate taxes,
assessments and other similar items that are or may become a lien thereon and
the status of insurance premiums and any ground rents payable in respect
thereof, and (ii) use reasonable efforts to obtain, from time to time, all
bills for the payment of such items (including renewal premiums) for Mortgage
Loans which require the related Mortgagor to escrow for the payment of such
items and shall effect payment thereof prior to the applicable penalty or
termination date, employing for such purpose Escrow Payments as allowed under
the terms of the related Mortgage Loan. To the extent that a Mortgage Loan does
not require a Mortgagor to escrow for the payment of real estate taxes,
assessments, insurance premiums, ground rents (if applicable) and similar
items, the Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer with respect to the
Specially Serviced Mortgaged Loans) shall use reasonable efforts consistent
with the Servicing Standard to cause the related Mortgagor to comply with the
requirements of the related Mortgage for payments in respect of such items at
the time they first become due.
(c) In accordance with the Servicing Standard, the Master Servicer (at
the direction of the Special Servicer in the case of Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loans) shall advance with respect to each related Mortgaged Property
all such funds as are necessary for the purpose of effecting the payment of (i)
real estate taxes, assessments and other similar items that are or may become a
lien thereon, (ii) ground rents (if applicable), and (iii) premiums on
Insurance Policies, in each instance if and to the extent Escrow Payments
collected from the related Mortgagor are insufficient to pay such item when due
and the related Mortgagor has failed to pay such item on a timely basis, and
provided that the particular advance would not, if made, constitute a
Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. All such advances shall be reimbursable in
the first instance from related collections from the Mortgagors, and further as
provided in Section 3.05. No costs incurred by the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer in effecting the payment of real estate taxes, assessments,
ground rents (if applicable) and other similar items on or in respect of the
Mortgaged Properties shall, for purposes hereof, including, without limitation,
calculating monthly distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid
principal balances of the related Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that the
terms of such Mortgage Loans so permit.
(d) The Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer with respect to
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) shall, establish and maintain, as
applicable, one or more accounts (the "Reserve Accounts"), into which all
Reserve Funds, if any, shall be deposited and retained. Withdrawals of amounts
so deposited may be made to pay for, or to reimburse the related Mortgagor in
connection with, the related repairs, environmental remediation, replacements
and/or capital improvements at the related Mortgaged Property if such repairs,
environmental remediation, replacements and/or capital improvements have been
completed, and such withdrawals are made, in accordance with the Servicing
Standard and the terms of the related Mortgage Note, Mortgage and any agreement
with the related Mortgagor governing such Reserve Funds. Subject to the terms
of the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage, all Reserve Accounts shall be
Eligible Accounts.
64
SECTION 3.04 Certificate Account.
(a) The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain a Certificate
Account in which the Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited on
a daily basis, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the following
payments and collections received or made by or on behalf of it subsequent to
the Cut-off Date (other than in respect of principal and interest on the

Account, if any, and only to the extent not required to be paid to the
applicable Mortgagor under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents or
applicable law;
(iv) all Insurance Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds received in
respect of any Mortgage Loan or REO Property (other than Liquidation Proceeds
that are received in connection with the Master Servicer's or Depositor's
purchase of all the Mortgage Loans and any REO Properties in the Trust Fund and
that are to be deposited in the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 9.01);
(v) any amounts required to be deposited by the Master Servicer

generality of the foregoing, actual payments from Mortgagors in the nature of
Escrow Payments, charges for beneficiary statements or demands,

insufficient funds, ancillary fees and any other amounts that the Master
Servicer and the Special Servicer are entitled to as additional servicing
compensation pursuant to Section 3.11 need not be deposited by the Master
Servicer in the Certificate Account. If the Master Servicer shall deposit in
the Certificate Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may
at any time withdraw such amount from the Certificate Account, any provision
herein to the contrary notwithstanding. The Master Servicer shall promptly
deliver to the Special Servicer as additional servicing compensation in
accordance with Section 3.11(d), assumption fees, modification fees, ancillary
fees and other transaction fees due to and received by the Master Servicer with
respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans. The Certificate Account shall be
maintained as a segregated account, separate and apart from trust funds created
for mortgage pass-through certificates of other series serviced and the other
accounts of the Master Servicer.
Upon receipt of any of the amounts described in clauses (i), (ii) and
(iv) above with respect to any Mortgage Loan which is not an REO Loan, the
Special Servicer shall promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days
after receipt, remit such amounts to the Master Servicer for deposit into the
Certificate Account in accordance with the second preceding paragraph, unless
the Special Servicer determines, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that a
particular item should not be deposited because of a restrictive endorsement or
other appropriate reason. Any such amounts received by the Special Servicer
with respect to an REO Property shall be deposited by the Special Servicer into
the REO Account and remitted to the Master Servicer for deposit into the
Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.16 (c). With respect to any such
amounts paid by check to the order of the Special Servicer, the Special
Servicer shall endorse such check to the order of the Master Servicer and shall
deliver promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days after receipt,
any such check to the Master Servicer by overnight courier, unless the Special
Servicer determines, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that a particular
item cannot be so endorsed and delivered because of a restrictive endorsement
or other appropriate reason.
Funds in the Certificate Account may be invested in Permitted
Investments in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.06. The Master
Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee, the Special Servicer and the
Depositor of the location of the Certificate Account as of the Closing Date and
of the new location of the Certificate Account prior to any change thereof.
(b) The Trustee shall establish and maintain the Distribution Account
in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Distribution Account
shall be maintained as a segregated account, separate and apart from trust
funds for mortgage pass-through certificates of other series administered by
the Trustee and other accounts of the Trustee.
The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee each month on or
before the Master Servicer Remittance Date therein, for deposit in the
Distribution Account, that portion of the Available Distribution Amount
(calculated without regard to clause (b)(iii) of the definition thereof) for
the related Distribution Date then on deposit in the Certificate Account.
66
In addition, the Master Servicer shall, as and when required
hereunder, deliver to the Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account:

Servicer in accordance with Section 4.03 (in each case, net of the portion
thereof that represents Master Servicing Fees and/or Special Servicing Fees,

(iii) any Compensating Interest Payments required to be made by the
Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.19;
(iv) any Liquidation Proceeds paid by the Master Servicer or the

portion thereof required to be deposited in the Certificate Account pursuant to
Section 9.01); and
(v) any other amounts required to be so delivered for deposit in the
Distribution Account pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.
The Trustee shall, upon receipt, deposit in the Distribution Account
any and all amounts received by the Trustee that are required by the terms of
this Agreement to be deposited therein. If, as of 3:00 p.m., New York City
time, on any Master Servicer Remittance Date or on such other date as any
amount referred in the foregoing clauses (i) through (v) is required to be
delivered hereunder, the Master Servicer shall not have delivered to the
Trustee for deposit in the Distribution Account the relevant portion of the
Available Distribution Amount or any of the amounts referred to in the
foregoing clauses (i) through (v), then the Trustee shall provide notice of
such failure to a Servicing Officer of the Master Servicer by facsimile
transmission sent to telecopy no. 000-000-0000 (or such alternative number
provided by the Master Servicer to the Trustee in writing) and by telephone at
telephone no. 000-000-0000 (or such alternative number provided by the Master
Servicer to the Trustee in writing) as soon as possible, but in any event
before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on such day.
Funds in the Distribution Account may be invested in Permitted
Investments in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.06. The Trustee

The Master Servicer shall pay to the Special Servicer (or to third

SECTION 3.06 Investment of Funds in the Certificate Account, the
Distribution Account and the REO Account.
(a) The Master Servicer may direct any depository institution
maintaining the Certificate Account, the Distribution Account, any Lock-Box
Account or any Cash Collateral Account and the Special Servicer may direct any
depository institution maintaining the REO Account, (each, for purposes of this
Section 3.06, an "Investment Account") to invest, or if it is such depository
institution, may itself invest, the funds held therein in one or more Permitted
Investments bearing interest or sold at a discount, and maturing, unless
payable on demand, (i) no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the
next succeeding date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such
account pursuant to this Agreement, if a Person other than the depository
institution maintaining such account is the obligor thereon, and (ii) no later
than the next succeeding date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn
from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if the depository institution
maintaining such account is the obligor thereon. All such
71
Permitted Investments shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand. Any
investment of funds in an Investment Account shall be made in the name of the
Trustee (in its capacity as such). The Master Servicer (with respect to
Permitted Investments of amounts in the Certificate Account or the Distribution
Account) and the Special Servicer (with respect to Permitted Investments of
amounts in the REO Account) on behalf of the Trustee, shall maintain continuous
possession of any Permitted Investment that is either (i) a "certificated
security", as such term is defined in the Uniform Commercial Code of any
applicable jurisdiction (the "UCC"), or (ii) other property in which a secured
party may perfect its security interest by possession under the UCC or any
other applicable law. Possession of any such Permitted Investment by the Master
Servicer, or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall constitute possession
by a person designated by the Trustee for purposes of Section 8-313 of the UCC
and possession by the Trustee, as secured party, for purposes of Section 9-305
of the UCC and any other applicable law. The Trustee shall have sole control
(except with respect to investment direction) over Permitted Investments of
amounts in the Distribution Account. In the event amounts on deposit in an
Investment Account are at any time invested in a Permitted Investment payable
on demand, the Master Servicer (in the case of the Certificate Account) or the
Trustee (in the case of the Distribution Account) shall:
(x) consistent with any notice required to be given thereunder, demand
that payment thereon be made on the last day such Permitted Investment may
otherwise mature hereunder in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) all
amounts then payable thereunder and (2) the amount required to be withdrawn
on such date; and
(y) demand payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly upon
determination by the Master Servicer or Trustee, as the case may be, that
such Permitted Investment would not constitute a Permitted Investment in
respect of funds thereafter on deposit in the Investment Account.
(b) Whether or not the Master Servicer directs the investment of funds
in the Certificate Account, the Distribution Account, any Lock-Box Account or
any Cash Collateral Account, interest and investment income realized on funds
deposited in each such Investment Account, to the extent of the Net Investment
Earnings, if any, with respect to such account for each Collection Period,
shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Master Servicer and shall be
subject to its withdrawal, or withdrawal at its direction, in accordance with
Section 3.05(a) or 3.05(b), as the case may be. Whether or not the Special
Servicer directs the investment of funds in the REO Account, interest and
investment income realized on funds deposited therein, to the extent of the Net
Investment Earnings, if any, for such Investment Account for each Collection
Period, shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Special Servicer and
shall be subject to its withdrawal in accordance with Section 3.16 (b). In the
event that any loss shall be incurred in respect of any Permitted Investment on
deposit in any of the Certificate Account, the Distribution Account, any
Lock-Box Account or any Cash Collateral Account the Master Servicer shall
deposit therein, no later than the end of the Collection Period during which
such loss was incurred, without right of reimbursement, the amount of the Net
Investment Loss, if any, with respect to such account for such Collection
Period. If any loss shall be incurred in respect of any Permitted Investment on
72
deposit in the REO Account, the Special Servicer shall promptly deposit therein
from its own funds, without right of reimbursement, no later than the end of
the Collection Period during which such loss was incurred, the amount of the
Net Investment Loss, if any, for such Collection Period. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, funds on deposit in the Distribution Account
shall remain uninvested during the period commencing on the Master Servicer
Remittance Date and ending on the related Distribution Date and all interest
and any other income realized with respect to such funds for such period shall
not be deemed Net Investment Earnings.
(c) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any
default occurs in the making of a payment due under any Permitted Investment,
or if a default occurs in any other performance required under any Permitted
Investment, the Trustee may and, subject to Section 8.02, upon the request of
Holders of Certificates entitled to a majority of the Voting Rights allocated
to any Class shall take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such
payment or performance, including the institution and prosecution of
appropriate proceedings.
SECTION 3.07 Maintenance of Insurance Policies; Errors and Omissions
and Fidelity Coverage.
(a) Each of the Master Servicer (in the case of Mortgage Loans other
than Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) and the Special Servicer (in the case
of Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) shall use reasonable efforts to cause
each Mortgagor to maintain in respect of the related Mortgaged Property all
insurance coverage as is required under the related Mortgage; provided that if
any Mortgage permits the holder thereof to dictate to the Mortgagor the
insurance coverage to be maintained on such Mortgaged Property, the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, as appropriate, shall impose such insurance
requirements as are consistent with the Servicing Standard. If a Mortgagor
fails to maintain such insurance, the Master Servicer (at the direction of the
Special Servicer in the case of a Specially Serviced Loan) shall (to the extent
available at commercially reasonable terms) obtain such insurance (which may be
through a master or single interest policy) and the cost (including any
deductible relating to such insurance) of such insurance (or in the case of a
master or single interest policy, the incremental cost (including any
deductible relating to such insurance) of such insurance relating to the
specific Mortgaged Property), shall be a Servicing Advance and shall be
recoverable by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.05(a). If at any time
a Mortgaged Property is located in an area identified in the Flood Hazard
Boundary Map or Flood Insurance Rate Map issued by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency as having special flood hazards or it becomes located in such
area by virtue of remapping conducted by such agency (and flood insurance has
been made available), the Master Servicer (or in the case of a Specially
Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer) shall, if and to the extent that the
Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor or permits the mortgagee to require the
Mortgagor to do so, use reasonable efforts to cause the related Mortgagor to
maintain a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current
guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration in the maximum amount of
insurance coverage available under the National Flood Insurance Act or 1968,
the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 or the National Flood Insurance
Reform Act of 1994, as amended, unless
73
otherwise specified by the related Mortgage Loan. If (i) the Mortgagor is
required by the terms of the Mortgage Loan to maintain such insurance (or
becomes obligated by virtue of the related Mortgaged Property becoming located
in such area by virtue of such remapping) or (ii) the terms of the Mortgage
Loan permit the mortgagee to require the Mortgagor to obtain such insurance,
the Master Servicer (or in the case of a Specially Serviced Loan, the Special
Servicer), shall promptly notify the Mortgagor of its obligation to obtain such
insurance. If the Mortgagor fails to obtain such flood insurance within 120
days of such notification, the Master Servicer (or in the case of a Specially
Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer) shall obtain such insurance, the cost of
which shall be a Servicing Advance and shall be recoverable by the Master
Servicer or Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.05(a); provided that the
Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall not be required to incur any such
cost if such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance.
Subject to Section 3.17(a), the Special Servicer shall also use reasonable
efforts to cause to be maintained for each REO Property (to the extent
available at commercially reasonable terms) no less insurance coverage than was
previously required of the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage or as is
consistent with the Servicing Standard. All such insurance policies shall
contain a "standard" mortgagee clause, with loss payable to the Master Servicer
(in the case of Mortgaged Properties) or the Special Servicer (in the case of
REO Properties) on behalf of the Trustee, and shall be issued by an insurer
authorized under applicable law to issue such insurance. Any amounts collected
by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer under any such policies (other
than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the related
Mortgaged Property or REO Property or amounts to be re leased to the related
Mortgagor, in each case in accordance with applicable law, the terms of the
related Mortgage Loan documents and the Servicing Standard, shall be deposited
in the Certificate Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.05(a),
in the case of amounts received in respect of a Mortgage Loan, or in the REO
Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.16(c), in the case of
amounts received in respect of an REO Property. Any cost incurred by the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not,
for purposes hereof, including, without limitation, calculating monthly
distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the outstanding principal
balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such
Mortgage Loan so permit, but shall be recoverable by the Master Servicer as a
Servicing Advance pursuant to Section 3.05(a).
(b)(I) If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer obtains and
maintains a blanket policy insuring against hazard losses on all of the
Mortgaged Properties and/or REO Properties for which it is responsible to cause
the maintenance of insurance hereunder, then, to the extent such policy
provides protection equivalent to the individual policies otherwise required,
the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall
conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligation to cause hazard
insurance to be maintained on such Mortgaged Properties and/or REO Properties.
Such policy may contain a deductible clause (not in excess of a customary
amount), in which case the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as
appropriate, shall, if there shall not have been maintained on a Mortgaged
Property or an REO Property a hazard insurance policy complying with the
requirements of Section 3.07(a), and there shall have been one or more losses
which would have been covered by such policy, promptly deposit into the
Certificate Account (or into the Servicing Account if insurance proceeds are to
be applied to the repair or restoration of the
74
applicable Mortgaged Property or disbursed to the related Mortgagor) from its
own funds the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of
such deductible clause 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 the Servicing Standard. The Master Servicer and the Special
Servicer each agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee
and Certificateholders, claims under any such blanket policy maintained by it
in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy.
(II) 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 provides protection equivalent to the individual
policies otherwise required, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall
conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its respective obligations to cause
hazard insurance to be maintained on such Mortgaged Properties and/or REO
Properties. Such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the
Master Servicer or the 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
3.07(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 Certificate Account (or into the Servicing Account if insurance proceeds
are to be applied to the repair or restoration of the applicable Mortgaged
Property or disbursed to the related Mortgagor) 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 the
Servicing Standard. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each agrees to
prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and Certificateholders,
claims under any such master force placed insurance policy maintained by it in
a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy.
(c) Each of the Master Servicer and the Special 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 covering its officers and employees and other persons acting
on behalf of it in connection with its activities under this Agreement. The
amount of coverage shall be at least equal to the coverage that would be
required by FNMA or FHLMC, whichever is greater, with respect to the Master
Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, if the Master Servicer or
Special Servicer, as the case may be, were servicing and administering the
Mortgage Loans and/or REO Properties for which it is responsible hereunder for
FNMA or FHLMC. Coverage of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer under a
policy or bond obtained by an Affiliate of such Person and providing the
coverage required by this Section 3.07(c) shall satisfy the requirements of
this Section 3.07(c).
75
(d) All insurance coverage required to be maintained by the Master
Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, under this Section 3.07 shall be
obtained from Qualified Insurers having a claims paying ability rating not less
than (w) BBB from Standard & Poor's (x) investment grade by Xxxxx'x and (y)
investment grade by Fitch, or if such insurer is not rated by Fitch, at least
investment grade by at least one other Rating Agency, unless in any such case
any Rating Agency has confirmed in writing that an insurance company with a
lower claims paying ability rating shall not result, in and of itself, in a
downgrade, qualification on withdrawal of the then current ratings by such
Rating Agency of any class of Certificates.
SECTION 3.08 Enforcement of Due-On-Sale Clauses; Assumption
Agreements; Subordinate Financing; Defeasance.
(a) As to each Mortgage Loan which contains a provision in the nature
of a "due-on-sale" clause, which by its terms:
(i) provides that such Mortgage Loan shall (or may at the mortgagee's
option) become due and payable upon the sale or other transfer of an interest
in the related Mortgaged Property; or
(ii) provides that such Mortgage Loan may not be assumed without the
consent of the mortgagee in connection with any such sale or other transfer,
then, for so long as such Mortgage Loan is included in the Trust Fund, the
Master Servicer or, in the case of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the
Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of record, shall
exercise (or, subject to Section 3.20(a)(iii), waive its right to exercise) any
right it may have with respect to such Mortgage Loan (x) to accelerate the
payments thereon, or (y) to withhold its consent to any such sale or other
transfer, in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard. In the event that
the Master Servicer or Special Servicer intends or is required, in accordance
with the preceding sentence, the Mortgage Loan documents or applicable law, to
permit the transfer of any Mortgaged Property, the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer, as the case may be, if consistent with the Servicing
Standard, may enter into an assumption and modification agreement with the
Person to whom the related Mortgaged Property has been or is intended to be
conveyed or may enter into substitution of liability agreement, pursuant to
which the original Mortgagor and any original guarantors are released from
liability, and the transferee and any new guarantors are substituted therefor
and become liable under the Mortgage Note and any related guaranties and, in
connection therewith, may require from the related Mortgagor a reasonable and
customary fee for the additional services performed by it, together with
reimbursement for any related costs and expenses incurred by it (but only to
the extent that charging such fee will not be a significant modification of the
Mortgage Loan for purposes of the REMIC Provisions). The Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall promptly notify the Trustee of any
such agreement and forward the original thereof to the Trustee for inclusion in
the related Mortgage File.
76
(b) As to each Mortgage Loan which contains a provision in the nature
of a "due-on-encumbrance" clause, which by its terms:
(i) provides that such Mortgage Loan shall (or may at the mortgagee's
option) become due and payable upon the creation of any additional lien or
other encumbrance on the related Mortgaged Property; or
(ii) requires the consent of the mortgagee to the creation of any such
additional lien or other encumbrance on the related Mortgaged Property, then,
for so long as such Mortgage Loan is included in the Trust Fund, the Master
Servicer or, in the case of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Special
Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of record, shall exercise
(or, subject to Section 3.20(a)(iii), waive its right to exercise) any right it
may have with respect to such Mortgage Loan (x) to accelerate the payments
thereon, or (y) to withhold its consent to the creation of any such additional
lien or other encumbrance, in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard;
provided, however that the Master Servicer or, in the case of a Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer, shall not waive its right to
exercise any such right when such right arises as a result of the imposition of
a lien against a Mortgaged Property which lien secures additional indebtedness
or a mechanic's or similar lien, not permitted under the related Mortgage Loan
documents unless the Master Servicer or Special Servicer (as applicable) with
respect to any Mortgage Loan or Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan which has an
unpaid principal balance at such time equal to at least 5% of the then
outstanding balance of the Mortgage Pool, has received written confirmation
from each Rating Agency that such waiver, in and of itself, would not result in
a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the then current ratings assigned
to any class of Certificates.
(c) With respect to any Mortgage Loan which permits release of
Mortgaged Properties through a Defeasance Option, the Master Servicer shall, to
the extent consistent with and permitted by the applicable Mortgage Loan
documents, permit the exercise of such Defeasance Option on any Due Date
occurring more than two years after the Startup Day (the "Release Date") upon
the satisfaction of the following conditions:
(i) No event of default exists under the related Mortgage Note;
(ii) The Mortgagor pays on such Release Date (A) all interest accrued
and unpaid on the Principal Balance of the Mortgage Note to and including the
Release Date; (B) all other sums, excluding scheduled interest or principal
payments due under the Mortgage Note and (C) any costs and expenses incurred in
connection with such release;
(iii) The Mortgagor has delivered Defeasance Collateral providing
payments on or prior to all successive scheduled payment dates from the Release
Date to the related Maturity Date, and in an amount equal to or greater than
the scheduled payments due on such dates under the Mortgage Loan;
77
(iv) The Mortgagor shall have delivered a security agreement granting
the Trust Fund a first priority security interest in the Defeasance Collateral;
(v) The Master Servicer shall have received an Opinion of Counsel from
the related Mortgagor (which shall be an expense of the related Mortgagor) to
the effect that the Trust Fund has a first priority security interest in the
Defeasance Collateral and that the assignment thereof is valid and enforceable;
(vi) The Master Servicer shall have obtained at the related
Mortgagor's expense a certificate from an Independent certified public
accountant certifying that the Defeasance Collateral complies with the
requirements of the related Mortgage Note;
(vii) If the related Mortgage Loan so requires and provides for the
related Mortgagor to pay the cost thereof, the Master Servicer shall have
obtained an Opinion of Counsel of the related Mortgagor to the effect that such
release will not cause any of REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III to fail to qualify
as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding or cause a tax to
be imposed on the Trust Fund under the REMIC Provisions; and
(viii) The Borrower shall have provided evidence to the Master
Servicer demonstrating that the lien of the related Mortgage is being released
to facilitate the disposition of the Mortgaged Property or another customary
commercial transaction, and not as part of an arrangement to collateralize the
Certificates issued by the related REMIC with obligations that are not real
estate mortgages.
(d) Nothing in this Section 3.08 shall constitute a waiver of the
Trustee's right, as the mortgagee of record, to receive notice of any
assumption of a Mortgage Loan, any sale or other transfer of the related
Mortgaged Property or the creation of any additional lien or other encumbrance
with respect to such Mortgaged Property.
(e) Except as otherwise permitted by Section 3.20, neither the Master
Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall agree to modify, waive or amend any
term of any Mortgage Loan in connection with the taking of, or the failure to
take, any action pursuant to this Section 3.08.
78
SECTION 3.09 Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.
(a) The Master Servicer shall notify the Special Servicer of the
occurrence of a Servicing Transfer Event in respect of any Mortgage Loan. The
Special Servicer shall monitor such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, evaluate
whether the causes of the default can be corrected over a reasonable period
without significant impairment of the value of the related Mortgaged Property,
initiate corrective action in cooperation with the Mortgagor if, in the Special
Servicer's judgment, cure is likely, and take such other actions (including
without limitation, negotiating and accepting a discounted payoff of a Mortgage
Loan) as are consistent with the Servicing Standard. If, in the Special
Servicer's judgment, such corrective action has been unsuccessful, no
satisfactory arrangement can be made for collection of delinquent payments, and
the Defaulted Mortgage Loan has not been released from the Trust Fund pursuant
to any provision hereof, then the Special Servicer shall, subject to
subsections (b) through (d) of this Section 3.09, exercise reasonable efforts,
consistent with the Servicing Standard, to foreclose upon or otherwise
comparably convert (which may include an REO Acquisition) the ownership of
property securing such Mortgage Loan. The foregoing is subject to the provision
that, in any case in which a Mortgaged Property shall have suffered damage from
an Uninsured Cause, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall have the
right but not the obligation to expend its own funds toward the restoration of
such property if it shall determine in its reasonable discretion (i) that such
restoration will increase the net proceeds of liquidation of such Mortgaged
Property to Certificateholders after reimbursement to itself for such expenses,
and (ii) that such expenses will be recoverable by the Master Servicer or
Special Servicer, as the case may be, out of the proceeds of liquidation of
such Mortgaged Property, as contemplated in Section 3.05(a). The Special
Servicer (or, subject to Section 3.19(c), the Master Servicer) shall advance
all other costs and expenses incurred by it in any such proceedings, subject to
its being entitled to reimbursement therefor as a Servicing Advance as provided
in Section 3.05(a) and further subject to its being entitled to pay out of the
related Liquidation Proceeds any Liquidation Expenses incurred in respect of
any Mortgage Loan, which Liquidation Expenses were outstanding at the time such
proceeds are received. When applicable state law permits the Special Servicer
to select between judicial and non-judicial foreclosure in respect of any
Mortgaged Property, the Special Servicer shall make such selection in a manner
consistent with the Servicing Standard. Nothing contained in this Section 3.09
shall be construed so as to require the Special Servicer, on behalf of the
Trust Fund, to make a bid on any Mortgaged Property at a foreclosure sale or
similar proceeding that is in excess of the fair market value of such property,
as determined by the Special Servicer in its sole judgment taking into account
the factors described in Section 3.18(e) and the results of any Appraisal
obtained pursuant to this Agreement, all such bids to be made in a manner
consistent with the Servicing Standard. If and when the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer deems it necessary and prudent for purposes of establishing
the fair market value of any Mortgaged Property securing a Defaulted Mortgage
Loan, whether for purposes of bidding at foreclosure or otherwise, the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, is authorized to have an
Appraisal performed with respect to such property (the cost of which Appraisal
shall be covered by, and reimbursable as, an Additional Trust Fund Expense).
79
(b) The Special Servicer shall not acquire any personal property
pursuant to this Section 3.09 (with the exception of cash or cash equivalents
pledged as collateral for a Mortgage Loan) unless either:
(i) such personal property is incident to real property (within the
meaning of Section 856(e)(1) of the Code) so acquired by the Special Servicer;
or
(ii) the Special Servicer shall have obtained an Opinion of Counsel
(the cost of which may be withdrawn from the Certificate Account pursuant to
Section 3.05(a)) to the effect that the holding of such personal property by
the Trust Fund will not cause the imposition of a tax on the Trust Fund under
the REMIC Provisions or cause any of REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III to fail to
qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.09, the
Special Servicer shall not, on behalf of the Trustee, initiate foreclosure
proceedings, obtain title to a Mortgaged Property in lieu of foreclosure or
otherwise, have a receiver of rents appointed with respect to any Mortgaged
Property, or take any other action with respect to any Mortgaged Property, if,
as a result of any such action, the Trustee, on behalf of the
Certificateholders, 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 CERCLA or any comparable law, unless
(as evidenced by an Officer's Certificate to such effect delivered to the
Trustee) the Special Servicer has previously received an Environmental
Assessment in respect of such Mortgaged Property prepared by a Person who
regularly conducts Environmental Assessments and the Special Servicer, based
solely (as to environmental matters and related costs) on the information set
forth in such Environmental Assessment, determines that:
(i) the Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable
environmental laws and regulations or, if not, that acquiring such Mortgaged
Property and taking such actions as are necessary to bring the Mortgaged
Property in compliance therewith is reasonably likely to produce a greater
recovery to Certificateholders on a present value basis than not acquiring such
Mortgaged Property and not taking such actions; and
(ii) there are no circumstances or conditions present at the Mortgaged
property relating to the use, management or disposal of Hazardous Materials for
which investigations, testing, monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation
could be required under any applicable environmental laws and regulations or,
if such circumstances or conditions are present for which any such action could
be required, that acquiring such Mortgaged Property and taking such actions
with respect to such Mortgaged Property is reasonably likely to produce a
greater recovery to Certificateholders on a present value basis than not
acquiring such Mortgaged Property and not taking such actions.
The cost of any such Environmental Assessment, as well as the cost of any
remedial, corrective or other further action contemplated by clause (i) and/or
clause (ii) of the preceding sentence, may be
80
withdrawn from the Certificate Account by the Master Servicer at the direction
of the Special Servicer as an expense of the Trust Fund pursuant to Section
3.05(a); and if any such Environmental Assessment so warrants, the Special
Servicer shall, at the expense of the Trust Fund, perform such additional
environmental testing as are consistent with the Servicing Standard to
determine whether the conditions described in clauses (i) and (ii) of the
preceding sentence have been satisfied.
(d) If the environmental testing contemplated by subsection (c) above
establishes that either of the conditions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of
the first sentence thereof has not been satisfied with respect to any Mortgaged
Property securing a Defaulted Mortgage Loan, then the Special Servicer shall
take such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Trust
Fund (other than proceeding to acquire title to the Mortgaged Property) and is
hereby authorized at such time as it deems appropriate to release all or a
portion of such Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage.
(e) The Special Servicer shall provide written reports monthly to the
Master Servicer, (who shall forward such reports to the Trustee, who shall
forward such reports to the Certificateholders) regarding any actions taken by
the Special Servicer with respect to any Mortgaged Property securing a
Defaulted Mortgage Loan as to which the environmental testing contemplated in
subsection (c) above has revealed that either of the conditions set forth in
clauses (i) and (ii) of the first sentence thereof has not been satisfied, in
each case until the earliest to occur of satisfaction of both such conditions,
removal of the related Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund and release of the
lien of the related Mortgage on such Mortgaged Property.
(f) The Special Servicer shall report to the Internal Revenue Service
and the related Mortgagor, in the manner required by applicable law, the
information required to be reported regarding any Mortgaged Property which is
abandoned or foreclosed. The Special Servicer shall deliver a copy of any such
report to the Trustee.
(g) The Special Servicer shall have the right to determine, in
accordance with the Servicing Standard, the advisability of the maintenance of
an action to obtain a deficiency judgment if the state in which the Mortgaged
Property is located and the terms of the Mortgage Loan permit such an action.
(h) The Special Servicer shall maintain accurate records of each Final
Recovery Determination in respect of a Defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Property
and the basis thereof. Each Final Recovery Determination shall be evidenced by
an Officer's Certificate delivered to the Trustee no later than the 10th
Business Day following such Final Recovery Determination.
81
SECTION 3.10 Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files.
(a) Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by
the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer of a notification that payment in
full shall be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, will immediately notify
the Trustee and request delivery of the related Mortgage File. Any such notice
and request shall be in the form of a Request for Release signed by a Servicing
Officer and shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received
or to be received in connection with such payment which are required to be
deposited in the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.04(a) have been or
will be so deposited. Within seven Business Days (or within such shorter period
as release can reasonably be accomplished if the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer notifies the Trustee of an exigency) of receipt of such notice and
request, the Trustee shall release, or cause any related Custodian to release,
the related Mortgage File to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer,
whichever requested it. No expenses incurred in connection with any instrument
of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Certificate
Account.
(b) From time to time as is appropriate for servicing or foreclosure
of any Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may deliver
to the Trustee a Request for Release signed by a Servicing Officer thereof.
Upon receipt of the foregoing, the Trustee shall deliver or cause the related
Custodian to deliver, the Mortgage File or any document therein to the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be. Upon return of such
Mortgage File or such document to the Trustee or the related Custodian, or the
delivery to the Trustee of a certificate of a Servicing Officer stating that
such Mortgage Loan was liquidated and that all amounts received or to be
received in connection with such liquidation which are required to be deposited
into the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.04(a) have been or will be
so deposited, or that such Mortgage Loan has become an REO Property, the
Request for Release shall be released by the Trustee to the Master Servicer or
the Special Servicer, as applicable.
(c) Within three Business Days (or within such shorter period as
delivery can reasonably be accomplished if the Special Servicer notifies the
Trustee of an exigency) of receipt thereof, the Trustee shall execute and
deliver to the Special Servicer any court pleadings, requests for trustee's
sale or other documents necessary to the foreclosure or trustee's sale in
respect of a Mortgaged Property or to any legal action brought to obtain
judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or to obtain a
deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the
Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in equity. The
Special Servicer shall be responsible for the preparation of all such documents
and pleadings. When submitted to the Trustee for signature, such documents or
pleadings shall be accompanied by a certificate of a Servicing Officer
requesting that such pleadings or documents be executed by the Trustee and
certifying as to the reason such documents or pleadings are required and that
the execution and delivery thereof by the Trustee will not invalidate or
otherwise affect the lien of the Mortgage, except for the termination of such a
lien upon completion of the foreclosure or trustee's sale.
82
SECTION 3.11 Servicing Compensation; Nonrecoverable Servicing
Advances.
(a) As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Master Servicer
shall be entitled to receive the Master Servicing Fee with respect to each
Mortgage Loan and REO Loan. As to each Mortgage Loan and REO Loan, the Master
Servicing Fee shall accrue from time to time at the Master Servicing Fee Rate
and shall be computed on the basis of the same principal amount and for the
same period respecting which any related interest payment due on such Mortgage
Loan or deemed to be due on such REO Loan is computed. The Master Servicing Fee
with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Loan shall cease to accrue if a
Liquidation Event occurs in respect thereof. The Master Servicing Fee shall be
payable monthly, on a loan-by-loan basis, from payments of interest on each
Mortgage Loan, REO Revenues allocable as interest on each REO Loan and the
interest portion of Delinquency Advances on each Mortgage Loan and REO Loan.
The Master Servicer shall be entitled to recover unpaid Master Servicing Fees
in respect of any Mortgage Loan or REO Loan out of that portion of related
Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds allocable as recoveries of interest,
to the extent permitted by Section 3.05(a). The right to receive the Master
Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part except in connection
with the transfer of all of the Master Servicer's responsibilities and
obligations under this Agreement.
(b) Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees,
modification fees, charges for beneficiary statements or demands, amounts
collected for checks returned for insufficient funds and any similar or
ancillary fees (excluding any other amounts relating to Prepayment Premiums),
in each case to the extent actually paid by a Mortgagor with respect to a
Mortgage Loan that is not a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, may be retained
by the Master Servicer and are not required to be deposited in the Certificate
Account. The Master Servicer shall also be entitled to additional servicing
compensation in the form of (i) any Prepayment Interest Excesses, Balloon
Payment Interest Excesses, and further to the extent received on Mortgage Loans
other than Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, any Penalty Charges collected on
the Mortgage Loans; (ii) interest or other income earned on deposits in the
Certificate Account and the Distribution Account, in accordance with Section
3.06(b) (but only to the extent of the Net Investment Earnings, if any, with
respect to each such Investment Account for each Collection Period), and (iii)
to the extent not required to be paid to any Mortgagor under applicable law or
under the related Mortgage, any interest or other income earned on deposits in
the Servicing Accounts and Reserve Accounts maintained thereby. The Master
Servicer shall be required to pay out of its own funds all overhead and general
and administrative expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing
activities hereunder (including, without limitation, payment of any amounts due
and owing to any of Sub-Servicers retained by it and the premiums for any
blanket policy insuring against hazard losses pursuant to Section 3.07(b)), if
and to the extent such expenses are not payable directly out of the Certificate
Account, and the Master Servicer shall not be entitled to reimbursement
therefor except as expressly provided in this Agreement. The Master Servicer
shall pay all surveillance fees payable to the Rating Agencies and the Trustee
Fee out of the Servicing Fee without right of reimbursement.
83
(c) As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Special Servicer
shall be entitled to receive the Special Servicing Fee with respect to each
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and each REO Loan. As to each Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan and each REO Loan, the Special Servicing Fee shall
accrue from time to time at the Special Servicing Fee Rate on the basis of the
same principal amount and for the same period respecting which any related
interest payment due on such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or deemed to be
due on such REO Loan is computed. The Special Servicing Fee with respect to
each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and each REO Loan shall cease to accrue
as of the date a Liquidation Event occurs in respect thereof. As to each
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and each REO Loan, earned but unpaid Special
Servicing Fees shall be payable monthly out of the same sources and at the same
time (but separate from) Master Servicing Fees payable to the Master Servicer
in respect of such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Loan.
As further compensation for its activities hereunder, the Special
Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Workout Fee with respect to each
Corrected Mortgage Loan. As to each Corrected Mortgage Loan, the Workout Fee
shall be payable from, and shall be calculated by application of the Workout
Fee Rate to, each collection of interest and principal received on such
Mortgage Loan for so long as it remains a Corrected Mortgage Loan. The Workout
Fee with respect to any Corrected Mortgage Loan will cease to be payable if a
Servicing Transfer Event occurs with respect thereto or if the related
Mortgaged Property becomes an REO Property; provided that a new Workout Fee
will become payable if and when such Mortgage Loan again becomes a Corrected
Mortgage Loan. If the Special Servicer is terminated other than for cause or
resigns in accordance with Section 6.04, it shall retain the right to receive
any and all Workout Fees payable in respect of Mortgage Loans that became
Corrected Mortgage Loans during the period that it acted as Special Servicer
and were still such at the time of such termination or resignation (and the
successor Special Servicer shall not be entitled to any portion of such Workout
Fees), in each case until the Workout Fee for any such loan ceases to be
payable in accordance with the preceding sentence.
As further compensation for its activities hereunder, the Special
Servicer shall also be entitled to receive a Liquidation Fee with respect to
each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property as to which it receives
any full or discounted payoff or any Liquidation Proceeds (other than in
connection with the purchase of any such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or
REO Property by the Special Servicer or the Majority Certificateholder of the
Controlling Class pursuant to Section 3.18 or by the Master Servicer or the
Depositor pursuant to Section 3.18 or Section 9.01). As to each such Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property, the Liquidation Fee shall be payable
from, and shall be calculated by application of the Liquidation Fee Rate to,
such full or discounted payoff and/or such Liquidation Proceeds. No Liquidation
Fee will be payable with respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan solely
by virtue of such Mortgage Loan becoming a Corrected Mortgage Loan.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Liquidation Fee will be
payable from, or based upon the receipt of, Liquidation Proceeds collected as a
result of any purchase of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property
described in the parenthetical to the first sentence of this paragraph;
provided, however, that if any such Liquidation Proceeds are
84
received with respect to any Corrected Mortgaged Loan, and the Special Servicer
is properly entitled to a Workout Fee therefrom, such Workout Fee will be
payable based on and from the portion of such Liquidation Proceeds that
constitute principal and/or interest.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Liquidation Fee and
a Workout Fee relating to the same Mortgage Loan shall not be paid from the
same proceeds on or with respect to such Mortgage Loan.
Subject to the Special Servicer's right to employ Sub-Servicers, the
Special Servicer's right to receive the Special Servicing Fee, the Workout Fee
and/or the Liquidation Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part except in
connection with the transfer of all of the Special Servicer's responsibilities
and obligations under this Agreement.
(d) Additional servicing compensation in the form of assumption fees
and modification fees received on or with respect to Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loans shall be promptly paid to the Special Servicer by the Master
Servicer and shall not be required to be deposited in the Certificate Account
pursuant to Section 3.04(a). Additional servicing compensation in the form of
assumption fees and modification fees that the Master Servicer is entitled to
and that are collected by the Special Servicer, shall be paid promptly to the
Master Servicer by the Special Servicer. The Special Servicer shall also be
entitled to additional servicing compensation in the form of: (i) to the extent
not required to be paid to any Mortgagor under applicable law, any interest or
other income earned on deposits in the REO Account, any Servicing Accounts and
any Reserve Accounts maintained thereby; and (ii) to the extent not required to
be paid to the Master Servicer as additional servicing compensation pursuant to
Section 3.11(b), any Penalty Charges collected on the Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loans and REO Loans. The Special Servicer shall be required to pay out
of its own funds all overhead and general and administrative expenses incurred
by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder (including, without
limitation, payment of any amounts due and owing to any Sub-Servicers retained
by it and the premiums for any blanket policy obtained by it insuring against
hazard losses pursuant to Section 3.07(b)), if and to the extent such expenses
are not payable directly out of the Certificate Account or the REO Account, and
the Special Servicer shall not be entitled to reimbursement except as expressly
provided in this Agreement.
(e) If the Master Servicer or Special Servicer is required under this
Agreement to make a Servicing Advance, but neither does so within 15 days after
such Advance is required to be made, the Trustee shall (subject to Section
3.11(g) below), make such Advance.
If the Trustee fails to make a Servicing Advance required to be made
by it, the Fiscal Agent shall make such advance (subject to Section 3.11(g)
below) within 1 (one) Business Day of such failure by the Trustee. The making
of such advance by the Fiscal Agent shall cure the failure by the Trustee to
make such advance.
85
(f) The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the
Fiscal Agent shall each be entitled to receive interest at the Reimbursement
Rate in effect from time to time, accrued on the amount of each Servicing
Advance made thereby for so long as such Servicing Advance is outstanding,
payable, first, out of collections received on the Mortgage Loan or REO Loan as
to which such Servicing Advance was made and, then, once such Servicing Advance
has been deemed nonrecoverable, out of general collections on the Mortgage
Loans and REO Properties.
(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, none of
the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent
shall be required to make any Servicing Advance that it determines in its
reasonable, good faith judgment would constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing
Advance; provided, however, that the Special Servicer may make an Emergency
Advance notwithstanding that, at the time such advance is made, the Special
Servicer may not have adequate information available in order to make a
determination whether or not such advance would, if made, be a Nonrecoverable
Servicing Advance. In addition, Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances (including
any Emergency Advances made pursuant to the proviso of the preceding sentence
which are ultimately determined to be Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances) shall
be reimbursable pursuant to Section 3.05 out of general collections on the
Mortgage Loans and REO Properties on deposit in the Certificate Account. The
determination by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or, if applicable,
the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent, that it has made a Nonrecoverable Servicing
Advance or that any proposed Servicing Advance, if made, would constitute a
Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, shall be evidenced by an Officer's
Certificate delivered promptly to the Trustee (or, if applicable, retained
thereby) and the Depositor, setting forth the basis for such determination,
together with (if such determination is prior to the liquidation of the related
Mortgage Loan or REO Property) a copy of an Appraisal of the related Mortgaged
Property or REO Property, as the case may be, which shall have been performed
within the twelve months preceding such determination, and further accompanied
by any other information, including, without limitation, engineers' reports,
environmental surveys, inspection reports, rent rolls, income and expense
statements or similar reports, that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer
may have obtained and that supports such determination. If such an Appraisal
shall not have been required and performed pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, or the
Fiscal Agent, as the case may be, may, subject to its reasonable and good faith
determination that such Appraisal will demonstrate the nonrecoverability of the
related Advance, obtain an Appraisal for such purpose at the expense of the
Trust Fund. The Trustee and the Fiscal Agent shall be entitled to rely on any
determination of nonrecoverability that may have been made by the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer with respect to a particular Servicing
Advance, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to rely on any determination
of nonrecoverability that may have been made by the Special Servicer with
respect to a particular Servicing Advance.
86
SECTION 3.12 Inspections; Collection of Financial Statements.
(a) The Master Servicer shall perform (or cause to be performed) a
physical inspection of each Mortgaged Property (other than Mortgaged Properties
constituting collateral for Specially Serviced Mortgaged Loans) at such times
and in such manner as are consistent with the Servicing Standard, but in any
event at least once every two years (or, if the related Mortgage Loan has a
current balance of greater than $5,000,000, at least once every year). The
Master Servicer shall prepare (or cause to be prepared) a written report of
each such inspection detailing the condition of the Mortgaged Property and
specifying the existence of (i) any vacancy in the Mortgaged Property evident
from such inspection that the Master Servicer deems material, (ii) any sale,
transfer or abandonment of the Mortgaged Property evident from such inspection,
(iii) any adverse change in the condition or value of the Mortgaged Property
evident from such inspection that the Master Servicer deems material, or (iv)
any waste committed on the Mortgaged Property evident from such inspection. The
Master Servicer, upon request, shall deliver to the Trustee a copy of each such
written report within 60 days of its preparation.
(b) The Special Servicer shall perform (or cause to be performed) a
physical inspection of each Mortgaged Property constituting collateral for a
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan at such times and in such manner as are
consistent with the Servicing Standard. If any Mortgage Loan becomes a
Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, then as soon as practicable (and in any event
within 90 days thereafter) the Special Servicer shall perform (or cause to be
performed) a physical inspection of each Mortgaged Property constituting
collateral for such Mortgage Loan. The Special Servicer shall prepare (or cause
to be prepared) a written report of each such inspection detailing the
condition of the Mortgaged Property and specifying the existence of (i) any
vacancy in the Mortgaged Property evident from such inspection that the Special
Servicer deems material, (ii) any sale, transfer or abandonment of the
Mortgaged Property evident from such inspection, (iii) any adverse change in
the condition or value of the Mortgaged Property evident from such inspection
that the Special Servicer deems material, or (iv) any waste committed on the
Mortgaged Property evident from such inspection. The Special Servicer, upon
request, shall deliver to the Trustee and the Master Servicer a copy of each
such written report within 60 days of its preparation.
(c) The Master Servicer (or, in the case of Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loans, the Special Servicer) shall make reasonable efforts to collect
promptly from each Mortgagor quarterly and annual operating statements and rent
rolls of the related Mortgaged Property, and financial statements of such
Mortgagor, if delivery of such items is required pursuant to the terms of the
related Mortgage. In addition, the Special Servicer shall make reasonable
efforts to obtain quarterly and annual operating statements and rent rolls with
respect to each REO Property. The Master Servicer and Special Servicer, upon
request, shall each deliver copies of the collected items to the other such
party and the Trustee in each case within 10 days of its receipt of such
request.
87
SECTION 3.13 Annual Statement as to Compliance.
Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer will deliver to
the Trustee, with a copy to the Depositor, on or before April 30th of each
year, beginning in 1998, an Officer's Certificate stating, as to the signer
thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer, as the case may be, during the preceding calendar year and of
its performance under this Agreement has been made under such officer's
supervision, (ii) to the best of such officer's knowledge, based on such
review, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, has
fulfilled in all material respects its obligations under this Agreement
throughout such year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any
such obligation, specifying each such default known to such officer and the
nature and status thereof and (iii) the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as the case may be, has received no notice regarding qualification,
or challenging the status, of the Trust Fund as a REMIC from the Internal
Revenue Service or any other governmental agency or body or, if it has received
any such notice, specifying the details thereof. A copy of such Officer's
Certificate may be obtained by Certificateholders upon written request to the
Trustee pursuant to Section 8.12 hereof.
SECTION 3.14 Reports by Independent Public Accountants.
On or before April 30th of each year, beginning in 1998 (or, as to any
such year, such earlier date as is contemplated by the last sentence of this
paragraph), the Master Servicer at its expense shall cause a firm of
independent public accountants (which may also render other services to the
Master Servicer) and that is a member of the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants to furnish a statement to the Trustee and to the Depositor
to the effect that (i) it has obtained a letter of representation regarding
certain matters from the management of the Master Servicer, which includes an
assertion that the Master Servicer has complied with certain minimum mortgage
loan servicing standards (to the extent applicable to commercial and
multifamily mortgage loans), identified in the Uniform Single Attestation
Program for Mortgage Bankers established by the Mortgage Bankers Association of
America, with respect to the servicing of commercial and multifamily mortgage
loans during the most recently completed calendar year and (ii) on the basis of
an examination conducted by such firm in accordance with standards established
by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, such representation
is fairly stated in all material respects, subject to such exceptions and other
qualifications that may be appropriate. In rendering its report such firm may
rely, as to matters relating to the direct servicing of commercial and
multifamily mortgage loans by Sub-Servicers, upon comparable reports of firms
of independent certified public accountants rendered on the basis of
examinations conducted in accordance with the same standards (rendered within
one year of such report) with respect to those Sub-Servicers.
The Special Servicer will deliver an annual accountants' report only
if, and in such form as may be, requested by the Rating Agencies.
88
The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, to the extent
applicable, will use reasonable efforts to cause the accountants referred to
above to cooperate with the Depositor in conforming any reports delivered
pursuant to this Section 3.14 to requirements imposed by the Commission on the
Depositor in connection with the Commission's issuance of a no-action letter
relating to the Depositor's reporting requirements in respect of the Trust Fund
pursuant to the Exchange Act.
SECTION 3.15 Access to Certain Information.
Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall provide or
cause to be provided to the Trustee, and to the OTS, the FDIC, and any other
federal or state banking or insurance regulatory authority that may exercise
authority over any Certificateholder, access to any documentation regarding the
Mortgage Loans and the Trust Fund within its control which may be required by
this Agreement or by applicable law. Such access shall be afforded without
charge but only upon reasonable prior written request and during normal
business hours at the offices of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer,
as the case may be, designated by it.
SECTION 3.16 Title to REO Property; REO Account.
(a) If title to any REO Property is acquired, the deed or certificate
of sale shall be issued to the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders. The
Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund, shall attempt to sell any REO
Property prior to the close of the third taxable year of the Trust Fund
following the taxable year in which the Trust Fund acquires ownership of such
REO Property for purposes of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code, unless the Special
Servicer either (i) is granted an extension of time (an "REO Extension") by the
Internal Revenue Service to sell such REO Property or (ii) obtains for the
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee and the Special
Servicer, to the effect that the holding by the Trust Fund of such REO Property
subsequent to the close of such third taxable year will not result in the
imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" of REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC
III as defined in Section 860F of the Code or cause REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC
III to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are
outstanding. If the Special Servicer is granted the REO Extension contemplated
by clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence or obtains the Opinion of
Counsel contemplated by clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence, the
Special Servicer shall sell such REO Property within such period longer than
three years as is permitted by such REO Extension or such Opinion of Counsel,
as the case may be. Any expense incurred by the Special Servicer in connection
with its being granted the REO Extension contemplated by clause (i) of the
second preceding sentence or its obtaining the Opinion of Counsel contemplated
by clause (ii) of the second preceding sentence, shall be an expense of the
Trust Fund payable out of the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a).
(b) The Special Servicer shall cause all funds collected and received
in connection with any REO Property to be held separate and apart from its own
funds and general assets. If any REO Acquisition shall occur, the Special
Servicer shall establish and maintain (or
89
cause to be established and maintained) one or more accounts (collectively, the
"REO Account"), to be held on behalf of the Trustee in trust for the benefit of
the Certificateholders, for the retention of revenues and other proceeds
derived from each REO Property. The REO Account shall be an Eligible Account
and may consist of one account for some or all the REO Properties. The Special
Servicer shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, in the REO Account, within
two Business Days of receipt, all REO Revenues, Liquidation Proceeds (net of
all Liquidation Expenses paid therefrom) and Insurance Proceeds received in
respect of an REO Property. The Special Servicer is authorized to pay out of
related Liquidation Proceeds any Liquidation Expenses incurred in respect of an
REO Property and outstanding at the time such proceeds are received. Funds in
the REO Account may be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with
Section 3.06. The Special Servicer shall be entitled to make withdrawals from
the REO Account to pay itself, as additional servicing compensation in
accordance with Section 3.11 (d), interest and investment income earned in
respect of amounts held in the REO Account as provided in Section 3.06 (b) (but
only to the extent of the Net Investment Earnings with respect to the REO
Account for any Collection Period). The Special Servicer shall give notice to
the Trustee and the Master Servicer of the location of any REO Account when
first established and of the new location of such REO Account prior to any
change thereof.
(c) The Special Servicer shall cause all funds necessary for the
proper operation, management, maintenance, disposition and liquidation of any
REO Property to be withdrawn from the REO Account, but only to the extent of
amounts on deposit in the REO Account relating to such REO Property. Within one
Business Day following the end of each Collection Period, the Special Servicer
shall withdraw from the REO Account and deposit into the Certificate Account or
deliver to the Master Servicer (which shall deposit such amounts into the
Certificate Account) the aggregate of all amounts received in respect of each
REO Property during such Collection Period, net of any withdrawals made out of
such amounts pursuant to Section 3.16 (b) or this Section 3.16(c); provided
that the Special Servicer may retain in the REO Account such portion of
proceeds and collections as may be necessary to maintain a reserve of
sufficient funds for the proper operation, management, maintenance and
disposition of the related REO Property (including without limitation the
creation of a reasonable reserve for repairs, replacements and necessary
capital improvements and other related expenses), such reserve not to exceed an
amount sufficient to cover such items to be incurred during the following
twelve-month period.
(d) The Special Servicer shall keep and maintain separate records, on
a property-by-property basis, for the purpose of accounting for all deposits
to, and withdrawals from, the REO Account pursuant to Section 3.16 (b) or (c).
90
SECTION 3.17 Management of REO Property; Independent Contractors.
(a) Prior to the acquisition of title to any Mortgaged Property
securing a Defaulted Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall review the
operation of such Mortgaged Property and determine the nature of the income
that would be derived from such property if it were acquired by the Trust Fund.
If the Special Servicer determines from such review, in its good faith and
reasonable judgment, that:
(i) None of the income from Directly Operating such Mortgaged Property
would be subject to tax as "net income from foreclosure property" within the
meaning of the REMIC Provisions or would be subject to the tax imposed on
"prohibited transactions" under Section 860F of the Code (either such tax
referred to herein as an "REO Tax"), such Mortgaged Property may be Directly
Operated by the Special Servicer as REO Property;
(ii) Directly Operating such Mortgaged Property as an REO Property
could result in income from such property that would be subject to an REO Tax,
but that a lease of such property to another party to operate such property, or
the performance of some services by an Independent Contractor with respect to
such property, or another method of operating such property would not result in
income subject to an REO Tax, then the Special Servicer may (provided, that in
the good faith and reasonable judgment of the Special Servicer, it is
commercially feasible) acquire such Mortgaged Property as REO Property and so
lease or operate such REO Property; or
(iii) Directly Operating such property as REO Property could result in
income subject to an REO Tax and, in the good faith and reasonable judgment of
the Special Servicer, that no commercially feasible means exists to operate
such property as REO Property without the Trust Fund incurring or possibly
incurring an REO Tax on income from such property, the Special Servicer shall
deliver to the Trustee, in writing, a proposed plan (the "Proposed Plan") to
manage such property as REO Property. Such plan shall include potential sources
of income, and to the extent commercially feasible, estimates of the amount of
income from each such source. Within a reasonable period of time after receipt
of such plan, the Trustee shall consult with the Special Servicer and shall
advise the Special Servicer of the Trust Fund's federal income tax reporting
position with respect to the various sources of income that the Trust Fund
would derive under the Proposed Plan. In addition, the Trustee shall (to the
maximum extent possible) advise the Special Servicer of the estimated amount of
taxes that the Trust Fund would be required to pay with respect to each such
source of income. After receiving the information described in the two
preceding sentences from the Trustee, the Special Servicer shall either (A)
implement the Proposed Plan (after acquiring the respective Mortgaged Property
as REO Property) or (B) manage and operate such property in a manner that would
not result in the imposition of an REO Tax on the income derived from such
property.
The Special Servicer's decision as to how each REO Property shall be
managed and operated shall in any event be based on the good faith and
reasonable judgment of the Special
91
Servicer as to which means would (to the extent commercially feasible) maximize
the net after-tax REO Revenues received by the Trust Fund with respect to such
property without materially and adversely affecting the Special Servicer's
ability to sell such REO Property in accordance with this Agreement and, to the
extent consistent with the foregoing, in accordance with the Servicing
Standard. Both the Special Servicer and the Trustee may consult with counsel
knowledgeable in such matters at the expense of the Trust Fund in connection
with determinations required under this Section 3.17(a). Neither the Special
Servicer nor the Trustee shall be liable to the Certificateholders, the Trust
Fund, the other parties hereto or each other for errors in judgment made in
good faith in the reasonable exercise of their discretion while performing
their respective responsibilities under this Section 3.17(a) or, to the extent
it relates to federal income tax consequences for the Trust Fund, Section
3.17(b) below. Nothing in this Section 3.17(a) is intended to prevent the sale
of a Defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Property pursuant to the terms and subject
to the conditions of Section 3.18.
(b) 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 Certificateholders solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and
sale in a manner that does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as
"foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or,
except as permitted by Section 3.17(a), result in the receipt by the Trust Fund
of any "income from non-permitted assets" within the meaning of Section
860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code or any "net income from foreclosure property" which
is subject to taxation under the REMIC Provisions. 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 in the best interests of and for the
benefit of the Certificateholders (as determined by the Special Servicer in its
good faith and reasonable judgment) and, consistent therewith, shall withdraw
from the REO Account, to the extent of amounts on deposit therein with respect
to each REO Property, funds necessary for the proper operation, management and
maintenance of such REO Property, including, without limitation:
(i) all insurance premiums due and payable in respect of such REO
Property;
(ii) all real estate taxes and assessments in respect of such REO
Property that may result in the imposition of a lien thereon;
(iii) any ground rents in respect of such REO Property; and
(iv) all costs and expenses necessary to maintain such REO Property.
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) - (iv)
above with respect to such REO Property, the Special Servicer shall advance
such amount as is necessary for such purposes (which advances shall be
Servicing Advances) unless (as evidenced by an Officer's Certificate delivered
to the Trustee) such advances would, if made, constitute Nonrecoverable
Servicing Advances; provided, however, that the Special Servicer shall make any
such Servicing Advance if it is a necessary fee
92
or expense incurred in connection with the defense or prosecution of legal
proceedings and such advance will be deemed to constitute a recoverable
Servicing Advance.
(c) 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 an
expense of the Trust Fund) shall be reasonable and customary in light 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 (A) pay, out of related REO Revenues,
all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the operation and management
of such REO Property, including, without limitation, those listed in subsection
(b) hereof, and (B) remit all related REO Revenues (net of its fees and such
costs and expenses) to the Special Servicer;
(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; and
(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.
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.
SECTION 3.18 Sale of Defaulted Mortgage Loans and REO Properties.
(a) The parties hereto may sell or purchase, or permit the sale or
purchase of, a Mortgage Loan or REO Property only on the terms and subject to
the conditions set forth in this Section 3.18 or as otherwise expressly
provided in or contemplated by Sections 2.03(a) and 9.01.
(b) In the event that any Mortgage Loan becomes a Defaulted Mortgage
Loan and the Special Servicer has determined in good faith that such Defaulted
Mortgage Loan will become subject to foreclosure proceedings, the Special
Servicer shall promptly so notify, in writing, the Master Servicer and the
Trustee, and the Trustee shall so notify, in writing, within 10 days after
93
receipt of its notice, the Holders of the Controlling Class. The Majority
Certificateholder of the Controlling Class may at its (or their) option
purchase from the Trust Fund, at a price equal to the Purchase Price, any such
Defaulted Mortgage Loan. The Purchase Price for any Defaulted Mortgage Loan
purchased hereunder shall be deposited into the Certificate Account, and the
Trustee, upon receipt of an Officer's Certificate from the Master Servicer to
the effect that such deposit has been made, shall release or cause to be
released to the Majority Certificateholder of the Controlling Class (or any
designee thereof) the related Mortgage File, and shall execute and deliver such
instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall
be necessary to vest in the Majority Certificateholder of the Controlling Class
(or any designee thereof) ownership of such Defaulted Mortgage Loan. In
connection with any such purchase, the Special Servicer shall deliver the
related Credit File to such Certificateholder(s).
(c) If the Majority Certificateholder of the Controlling Class has not
purchased any Defaulted Mortgage Loan within 15 days of its having received
notice in respect thereof pursuant to the immediately preceding subsection (b),
either the Special Servicer or, subject to the Special Servicer's prior rights
in such regard, the Master Servicer may at its option, within 15 days after
receipt of such notice, purchase such Defaulted Mortgage Loan from the Trust
Fund, at a price equal to the Purchase Price. The Purchase Price for any
Defaulted Mortgage Loan purchased hereunder shall be deposited into the
Certificate Account, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officer's Certificate
from the Master Servicer to the effect that such deposit has been made, shall
release or cause to be released to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer,
as applicable, the related Mortgage File, and shall execute and deliver such
instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse,
representation or warranty, as shall be necessary to vest in the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, such Defaulted Mortgage Loan.
In connection with any such purchase by the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer shall deliver the related Credit File to the Master Servicer.
(d) The Special Servicer may offer to sell any Defaulted Mortgage Loan
not otherwise purchased by the Majority Certificateholder of the Controlling
Class, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to subsection (b)
or (c) above, if and when the Special Servicer determines, consistent with the
Servicing Standard, that such a sale would produce a greater recovery to
Certificateholders on a present value basis than would liquidation of the
related Mortgaged Property. Such offering shall be made in a commercially
reasonable manner (which, for purposes hereof, includes an offer to sell
without representation or warranty other than customary warranties of title,
loan status, condition and similar customary matters, if liability for breach
thereof is limited to recourse against the Trust Fund) for a period of not less
than 10 days or more than 90 days. Unless the Special Servicer determines that
acceptance of any offer would not be in the best economic interests of the
Trust Fund, the Special Servicer shall accept the highest cash offer received
from any Person that constitutes a fair price for such Mortgage Loan. In the
absence of any offer determined as provided below to be fair, the Special
Servicer shall proceed with respect to such Defaulted Mortgage Loan in
accordance with Section 3.09 and, otherwise, in accordance with the Servicing
Standard.
94
The Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to solicit offers
for each REO Property in such manner as will be reasonably likely to realize a
fair price within the time period provided for by Section 3.16(a). The Special
Servicer shall accept the first (and, if multiple bids are contemporaneously
received, highest) cash bid received from any Person that constitutes a fair
price for such REO Property. If the Special Servicer determines, in its good
faith and reasonable judgment, that it will be unable to realize a fair price
for any REO Property within the time constraints imposed by Section 3.16(a),
then the Special Servicer shall dispose of such REO Property upon such terms
and conditions as the Special Servicer shall deem necessary and desirable to
maximize the recovery thereon under the circumstances and, in connection
therewith, shall accept the highest outstanding cash bid, regardless of from
whom received.
The Special Servicer shall give the Trustee and the Master Servicer
not less than three Business Days' prior written notice of its intention to
sell any Defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Property. No Interested Person shall be
obligated to submit a bid to purchase any Defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO
Property, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither the
Trustee, in its individual capacity, nor any of its Affiliates may bid for or
purchase any Defaulted Mortgage Loan or any REO Property pursuant hereto.
(e) Whether any cash bid constitutes a fair price for any Defaulted
Mortgage Loan or REO Property, as the case may be, for purposes of Section
3.18(d), shall be determined by the Special Servicer, if the highest bidder is
a Person other than an Interested Person, and by the Trustee, if the highest
bidder is an Interested Person; provided, however, that no bid from an
Interested Person shall constitute a fair price unless (i) it is the highest
bid received and (ii) at least two other bids are received from independent
third parties. In determining whether any offer received from an Interested
Person represents a fair price for any such Mortgage Loan or REO Property, the
Trustee shall be supplied with and shall rely on the most recent Appraisal or
updated Appraisal conducted in accordance with this Agreement within the
preceding 12-month period or, in the absence of any such Appraisal, on a
narrative appraisal prepared by a Qualified Appraiser, retained by the Special
Servicer. Such appraiser shall be selected by the Special Servicer if the
Special Servicer is not making an offer with respect to a Defaulted Mortgage
Loan or REO Property and shall be selected by the Master Servicer if the
Special Servicer is making such an offer. The cost of any such narrative
appraisal shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable as, a Servicing
Advance. In determining whether any offer from a Person other than an
Interested Person constitutes a fair price for any such Mortgage Loan or REO
Property, the Special Servicer shall take into account (in addition to the
results of any Appraisal, updated Appraisal or narrative Appraisal that it may
have obtained pursuant to this Agreement within the prior 12 months), and in
determining whether any offer from an Interested Person constitutes a fair
price for any such Mortgage Loan or REO Property, any appraiser 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
occupancy level and physical condition of the Mortgaged Property or REO
Property, the state of the local economy and the obligation to dispose of any
REO Property within the time period specified in Section 3.16(a). The Purchase
Price for any Defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Property shall in all cases be
deemed a fair price.
95
(f) Subject to subsections (a) through (e) above, the Special Servicer
shall act on behalf of the Trustee in negotiating and taking any other action
necessary or appropriate in connection with the sale of any Defaulted Mortgage
Loan or REO Property, and the collection of all amounts payable in connection
therewith. In connection therewith, the Special Servicer may charge prospective
offerors, and may retain, fees that approximate the Special Servicer's actual
costs in the preparation and delivery of information pertaining to such sales
or exchanging offers without obligation to deposit such amounts into the
Certificate Account. Any sale of a Defaulted Mortgage Loan or any REO Property
shall be final and without recourse to the Trustee or the Trust Fund (except
such recourse to the Trust Fund imposed by those representations and warranties
typically given in such transactions, any prorations applied thereto and any
customary closing matters), and if such sale is consummated in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement, none of the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer,
the Depositor, the Fiscal Agent or the Trustee shall have any liability to any
Certificateholder with respect to the purchase price therefor accepted by the
Special Servicer or the Trustee.
(g) Any sale of a Defaulted Mortgage Loan or any REO Property shall be
for cash only (unless, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, changes in the
REMIC Provisions made subsequent to the Startup Day allow a sale for other
consideration).
(h) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing paragraphs of this Section
3.18, the Special Servicer shall not be obligated to accept the highest cash
offer if the Special Servicer determines, in its reasonable and good faith
judgment, that rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the
Certificateholders, and the Special Servicer may accept a lower cash offer
(from any Person other than itself or an Affiliate) if it determines, in its
reasonable and good faith judgment, that acceptance of such offer would be in
the best interests of the Certificateholders (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).
SECTION 3.19 Additional Obligations of the Master Servicer and the
Special Servicer.
(a) In connection with each Adjustable Rate Mortgage Loan (and, if and
to the extent applicable, any successor REO Loan), the Master Servicer shall
calculate adjustments in the Mortgage Rate and the Monthly Payment and shall
notify the Mortgagor of such adjustments, all in accordance with the Mortgage
Note and applicable law. In the event the Index for any Adjustable Rate
Mortgage Loan (or successor REO Loan) is not published or is otherwise
unavailable, the Master Servicer shall select a comparable alternative index
with respect to such Mortgage Loan (or successor REO Loan) over which it has no
direct control, which is readily verifiable and which is acceptable under the
terms of the related Mortgage Note.
96
(b) The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall
each deliver to the other and to the Trustee (for inclusion in the Mortgage
File) copies of all Appraisals, environmental reports and engineering reports
(or, in each case, updates thereof) obtained with respect to any Mortgaged
Property or REO Property.
(c) No more frequently than once per calendar month, the Special
Servicer may require the Master Servicer, and the Master Servicer shall be
obligated, subject to the second following paragraph, to reimburse the Special
Servicer for any Servicing Advances made by but not previously reimbursed to
the Special Servicer, and to pay the Special Servicer interest thereon at the
Reimbursement Rate from the date made to, but not including, the date of
reimbursement. Such reimbursement and any accompanying payment of Advance
Interest shall be made within ten (10) days of the request therefor by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Special
Servicer. Upon the Master Servicer's reimbursement to the Special Servicer of
any Servicing Advance and payment to the Special Servicer of interest thereon,
all in accordance with this Section 3.19(c), the Master Servicer shall for all
purposes of this Agreement be deemed to have made such Servicing Advance at the
same time as the Special Servicer originally made such Advance, and
accordingly, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for such
Advance, together with interest thereon, at the same time, in the same manner
and to the same extent as the Master Servicer would otherwise have been
entitled if it had actually made such Servicing Advance.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement,
if the Special Servicer is required under this Agreement to make any Servicing
Advance but does not desire to do so, the Special Servicer may, in its sole
discretion, request that the Master Servicer make such Advance, such request to
be made in writing and in a timely manner that does not materially and
adversely affect the interests of any Certificateholder. Subject to the
following paragraph, the Master Servicer shall have the obligation to make any
such Servicing Advance that it is requested by the Special Servicer to make
within ten days of the Master Servicer's receipt of such request. The Special
Servicer shall be relieved of any obligations with respect to an Advance that
it requests the Master Servicer to make (regardless of whether or not the
Master Servicer shall make such Advance). The Master Servicer shall be entitled
to reimbursement for any Servicing Advance made by it at the direction of the
Special Servicer, together with Advance Interest thereon, at the same time, in
the same manner and to the same extent as the Master Servicer is entitled with
respect to any other Servicing Advance made thereby.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.19(c), the
Master Servicer shall not be required to make at the Special Servicer's
direction, or to reimburse the Special Servicer for, any Servicing Advance if
the Master Servicer determines in its reasonable, good faith judgment that the
Servicing Advance which the Special Servicer is directing the Master Servicer
to make or to reimburse to the Special Servicer hereunder either (y) although
not characterized by the Special Servicer as a Nonrecoverable Servicing
Advance, is or would be, if made, a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, or (z)
the making of such advance was or would be in violation of the Servicing
Standard or the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Master Servicer
shall notify the
97
Special Servicer in writing of such determination. Such notice shall not
obligate the Special Servicer to make any such proposed Servicing Advance.
(d) Upon the earliest of (i) the date on which any Mortgage Loan
becomes a Modified Mortgage Loan, (ii) the 90th day following the occurrence of
any uncured delinquency in Monthly Payments with respect to any Mortgage Loan,
(iii) the date on which a receiver is appointed and continues in such capacity
in respect of the Mortgaged Property securing any Mortgage Loan and (iv) the
date on which the Mortgaged Property securing any Mortgage Loan becomes an REO
Property (each such Mortgage Loan and any related REO Loan, a "Required
Appraisal Loan"), the Special Servicer, shall request and, within 30 days of
the occurrence of such event (or such longer period as the Special Servicer is
(as certified thereby to the Trustee in writing) diligently and in good faith
proceeding to obtain such) obtain an Appraisal of the related Mortgaged
Property; unless an Appraisal thereof had previously been obtained within the
prior twelve months. The cost of such Appraisal shall be covered by, and
reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance.
With respect to each Required Appraisal Loan (unless such loan has
become a Corrected Mortgage Loan and has remained current for twelve
consecutive Monthly Payments, and no other Servicing Transfer Event has
occurred with respect thereto during the preceding twelve months), the Special
Servicer shall, within 30 days of each anniversary of such loan's becoming a
Required Appraisal Loan, order an update of the prior Appraisal (the cost of
which will be covered by, and reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance). Based upon
such Appraisal, the Special Servicer shall determine and report to the Trustee
the Appraisal Reduction Amount, if any, with respect to such loan. The Special
Servicer shall deliver a copy of any such Appraisal to the Master Servicer.
(e) The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in
the Distribution Account on each Master Servicer Remittance Date, without any
right of reimbursement therefor, an amount equal to the aggregate of all
Balloon Payment Interest Shortfalls incurred in connection with Balloon
Payments received in respect of the Mortgage Pool during the most recently
ended Collection Period.
(f) The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee for deposit in
the Distribution Account on each Master Servicer Remittance Date, without any
right of reimbursement therefor, an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the
aggregate of all Prepayment Interest Shortfalls incurred in connection with
Principal Prepayments received in respect of the Mortgage Pool during the most
recently ended Collection Period, and (ii) the aggregate Master Servicing Fees
received by the Master Servicer during such Collection Period.
(g) With respect to all ARD Loans, the Master Servicer shall apply (x)
all Monthly Payments and (y) any other sums due, in accordance with the terms
of the related ARD Loan.
(h) With respect to all ARD Loans, the Master Servicer and the Special
Servicer shall not take any enforcement action with respect to the payment of
Excess Interest or principal in
98
excess of the principal component of the constant Monthly Payment, other than
request for collection, until the maturity date of the related Loan. The
foregoing shall not limit the Servicer and Special Servicer's obligation to
establish a Lock-Box Account pursuant to Section 3.28. In the event a Mortgagor
elects not to repay the principal due and outstanding on an ARD Loan on its
Anticipated Repayment Date, the Master Servicer shall notify any such Mortgagor
that the Revised Rate for such Mortgage Loan shall not exceed the related
initial Mortgage Rate plus 2.00%.
SECTION 3.20 Modifications, Waivers, Amendments and Consents.
(a) The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each may agree to any
modification, waiver or amendment of any term of, forgive interest on and
principal of, capitalize interest on, permit the release, addition or
substitution of collateral securing, and/or permit the release of the Mortgagor
on or any guarantor of any Mortgage Loan it is required to service and
administer hereunder, without the consent of the Trustee or, except as
contemplated by clause (ii) below, any Certificateholder, subject, however, to
each of the following limitations, conditions and restrictions:
(i) other than as provided in Sections 3.02 and 3.08, the Master
Servicer (in such capacity) shall not agree to any modification, waiver or
amendment of any term of, or take any of the other acts referenced in this
Section 3.20(a) with respect to, any Mortgage Loan that would affect the amount
or timing of any related payment of principal, interest or other amount payable
thereunder or, in the Master Servicer's good faith and reasonable judgment,
materially impair the security for such Mortgage Loan or reduce the likelihood
of timely payment of amounts due thereon; the Special Servicer (in such
capacity) may, however, agree to any modification, waiver or amendment of any
term of, or take any of the other acts referenced in this Section 3.20(a) with
respect to, a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan that would have any such effect,
but only if, in the Special Servicer's reasonable and good faith judgment, a
material default on such Mortgage Loan has occurred or a default in respect of
payment on such Mortgage Loan is reasonably foreseeable, and such modification,
waiver, amendment or other action is reasonably likely to produce a greater
recovery to Certificateholders on a present value basis, than would
liquidation. Any such action taken by the Special Servicer shall be accompanied
by an Officer's Certificate to such effect and to which is attached the present
value calculation which establishes the basis for such determination, a copy of
which shall be delivered to the Trustee for delivery to the Rating Agencies;
(ii) [Intentionally Omitted.]
(iii) the Master Servicer may not extend the Stated Maturity Date of
any Mortgage Loan beyond the date that is two years prior to the Rated Final
Distribution Date;
(iv) neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall make
or permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of, or take any of
the other acts referenced in this Section 3.20(a) with respect to, any Mortgage
Loan that would (A) cause REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III to fail to qualify as
a REMIC under the Code or result in the imposition of any tax on
99
"prohibited transactions" or "contributions" after the Startup Day of any such
REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or (B) cause any Mortgage Loan to cease to be
a "qualified mortgage" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code
(neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be liable for
judgments as regards decisions made under this subsection which were made in
good faith and, unless it would constitute bad faith or negligence to do so,
each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer may rely on opinions of
counsel in making such decisions);
(v) neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall permit
any Mortgagor to add or substitute any collateral for an outstanding Mortgage
Loan, which collateral constitutes real property, unless the Master Servicer or
the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall have first determined, in its
reasonable and good faith judgment, based upon an Environmental Assessment (and
such additional environmental testing as the Master Servicer or Special
Servicer, as the case may be, deems necessary and appropriate) prepared by an
Independent Person who regularly conducts Environmental Assessments (and such
additional environmental testing), at the expense of the Mortgagor, that such
additional or substitute collateral is in compliance with applicable
environmental laws and regulations and that there are no circumstances or
conditions present with respect to such new collateral relating to the use,
management or disposal of any Hazardous Materials for which investigation,
testing, monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation would be required
under any then applicable environmental laws and/or regulations; and
(vi) neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall
release or substitute any collateral securing an outstanding Mortgage Loan
except as provided in Section 3.09(d) and except in the case of a release where
(A) the use of the collateral to be released will not, in the Master Servicer's
or Special Servicer's, as the case may be, good faith and reasonable judgment,
materially and adversely affect the Net Operating Income being generated by or
the use of the related Mortgaged Property, (B) there is a corresponding
principal paydown of such Mortgage Loan in an amount at least equal to, or a
delivery of substitute collateral with an appraised value at least equal to,
the appraised value of the collateral to be released, (C) the remaining
Mortgaged Property and any substitute collateral is, in the Master Servicer's
or Special Servicer's, as the case may be, good faith and reasonable judgment,
adequate security for the remaining Mortgage Loan and (D) such release and/or
substitution would not result in the downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of
the rating then assigned by any Rating Agency to any Class of Certificates (as
confirmed in writing by each Rating Agency);
provided that (x) the limitations, conditions and restrictions set forth in
clauses (i) through (vi) above shall not apply to any modification of any term
of any Mortgage Loan or any other acts referenced in this Section 3.20(a) that
is required under the terms of such Mortgage Loan in effect on the Closing
Date, and (y) notwithstanding clauses (i) through (vi) above, neither the
Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be required to oppose the
confirmation of a plan in any bankruptcy or similar proceeding involving a
Mortgagor if in their reasonable and good faith judgment such opposition would
not ultimately prevent the confirmation of such plan or one substantially
similar. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer may extend the
Maturity Date on any Mortgage
100
Loan except pursuant to this Section 3.20(a) or as otherwise required under the
related loan documents.
(b) Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall have
any liability to the Trust Fund, the Certificateholders or any other Person if
its analysis and determination that the modification, waiver, amendment or
other action contemplated by Section 3.20(a) is reasonably likely to produce a
greater recovery to Certificateholders on a present value basis than would
liquidation, should prove to be wrong or incorrect, so long as the analysis and
determination were made on a reasonable basis in good faith by the Special
Servicer and the Special Servicer was not negligent in ascertaining the
pertinent facts.
(c) Any payment of interest, which is deferred pursuant to any
modification, waiver or amendment permitted hereunder, shall not, for purposes
hereof, including, without limitation, calculating monthly distributions to
Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid principal balance of the related
Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan or such
modification, waiver or amendment so permit.
(d) The Master Servicer and, with respect to a Specially Serviced
Mortgaged Loan, the Special Servicer each may, as a condition to its granting
any request by a Mortgagor for consent, modification, waiver or indulgence or
any other matter or thing, the granting of which is within the Master
Servicer's or the Special Servicer's discretion pursuant to the terms of the
instruments evidencing or securing the related Mortgage Loan and is permitted
by the terms of this Agreement, require that such Mortgagor pay to it, as
additional servicing compensation, a reasonable or customary fee (not to exceed
1.0% of the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan) for the
additional services performed in connection with such request, together with
any related costs and expenses incurred by it.
(e) Except for waivers of Penalty Charges and notice periods, all
material modifications, waivers and amendments of the Mortgage Loans entered
into pursuant to this Section 3.20 shall be in writing
(f) Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall notify
the Trustee and such other party, in writing, of any modification, waiver or
amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan and the date thereof, and shall
deliver to the Trustee or the related Custodian for deposit in the related
Mortgage File, an original counterpart of the agreement relating to such
modification, waiver or amendment, promptly (and in any event within 10
Business Days) following the execution thereof.
SECTION 3.21 Transfer of Servicing Between Master Servicer and Special
Servicer; Record Keeping.
(a) Upon determining that a Servicing Transfer Event has occurred with
respect to any Mortgage Loan and if the Master Servicer is not also the Special
Servicer, the Master Servicer
101
shall promptly give notice thereof, and deliver the related Servicing File, to
the Special Servicer and shall use reasonable efforts to provide the Special
Servicer with all information, documents (or copies thereof) and records
(including records stored electronically on computer tapes, magnetic discs and
the like) relating to the Mortgage Loan and reasonably requested by the Special
Servicer to enable it to assume its functions hereunder with respect thereto
without acting through a Sub-Servicer. The Master Servicer shall use
reasonable efforts to comply with the preceding sentence within five Business
Days of the occurrence of each related Servicing Transfer Event. The Special
Servicer may, as to any delinquent Mortgage Loan, prior to the occurrence of a
Servicing Transfer Event with respect thereto, request and obtain the foregoing
documents and information.
Upon determining that a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan has become a
Corrected Mortgage Loan and if the Master Servicer is not also the Special
Servicer, the Special Servicer shall promptly give notice thereof, and return
the related Servicing File, to the Master Servicer and upon giving such notice,
and returning such Servicing File, to the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer's obligation to service such Mortgage Loan, and the Special Servicer's
right to receive the Special Servicing Fee with respect to such Mortgage Loan,
shall terminate, and the obligations of the Master Servicer to service and
administer such Mortgage Loan in accordance with this Agreement shall resume.
Notwithstanding other provisions in this Agreement to the contrary,
the Master Servicer shall remain responsible for the billing and collection,
accounting, data collection, reporting and other basic Master Servicer
administrative functions with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans,
provided that the Special Servicer shall establish procedures for the Master
Servicer as to the application of receipts and tendered payments and shall have
the exclusive responsibility for and authority over all contacts with and
notices to Mortgagors and similar matters relating to each Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan and the related Mortgaged Property.
(b) In servicing any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, the Special
Servicer shall provide to the Trustee originals of documents included within
the definition of "Mortgage File" for inclusion in the related Mortgage File
(with a copy of each such original to the Master Servicer), and copies of any
additional related Mortgage Loan information, including correspondence with the
related Mortgagor.
(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the
event that the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer are the same Person,
all notices, certificates, information and consents required to be given by the
Master Servicer to the Special Servicer or vice versa shall be deemed to be
given without the necessity of any action on such Person's part.
102
SECTION 3.22 Sub-Servicing Agreements.
(a) The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer may each enter into
Sub-Servicing Agreements for the servicing and administration of all or a part
of the Mortgage Loans for which it is responsible hereunder, provided that, in
each case, the Sub-Servicing Agreement: (i) is not inconsistent with this
Agreement and shall provide that the Sub-Servicer will maintain errors and
omissions insurance and fidelity bond coverage as required of the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer (whichever retained it) under Section 3.07
hereof; (ii) provides that if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as
the case may be, shall for any reason no longer be the Master Servicer or
Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder (including, without limitation, by
reason of an Event of Default or their termination hereunder), the Trustee, its
designee or any successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer may thereupon
assume all of the rights and, except to the extent they arose prior to the date
of assumption, obligations of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as
the case may be, under such agreement; (iii) provides that any successor Master
Servicer may terminate such agreement without cause and without payment of any
termination fee; (iv) in the case of a Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into by
the Master Servicer, expressly or effectively provides that (if the Master
Servicer and the Special Servicer are not the same Person) such agreement shall
terminate with respect to any Mortgage Loan serviced thereunder at the time
such Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan; and (v) in the
case of a Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into by the Special Servicer, relates
only to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans or REO Properties and expressly or
effectively provides that (if the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer are
not the same Person) such agreement shall terminate with respect to any such
Mortgage Loan that becomes a Corrected Mortgage Loan. References in this
Agreement to actions taken or to be taken by the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as the case may be, include actions taken or to be taken by a
Sub-Servicer on behalf of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the
case may be; and, in connection therewith, all amounts advanced by any
Sub-Servicer to satisfy the obligations of the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder to make Servicing Advances and
Delinquency Advances shall be deemed to have been advanced by the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, out of its own funds and,
accordingly, such Advances shall be recoverable by such Sub-Servicer in the
same manner and out of the same funds as if such Sub-Servicer were the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, and, for so long as they
are outstanding, such Advances shall accrue interest in accordance with Section
3.11(f) or Section 4.03(d), as applicable, such interest to be allocable
between the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, and
such Sub-Servicer as they may agree. For purposes of this Agreement, the Master
Servicer and the Special Servicer each shall be deemed to have received any
payment when the Sub-Servicer receives such payment.
(b) Each Sub-Servicer shall be authorized to transact business in the
state or states in which the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service are
situated, if and to the extent required by applicable law.
(c) As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Master Servicer
and the Special Servicer, for the benefit of the Trustee and the
Certificateholders, shall (at no expense to the
103
Trustee, the Certificateholders or the Trust Fund) monitor the performance and
enforce the obligations of each Sub-Servicer retained by it under the related
Sub-Servicing Agreement. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the
legal prosecution of claims, termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements in
accordance with their respective terms and the pursuit of other appropriate
remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such
time by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer in accordance with the
Servicing Standard. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each shall
have the right to remove a Sub-Servicer retained by it at any time it considers
such removal to be in the best interests of Certificateholders.
(d) In the event the Trustee, its designee or any successor Master
Servicer or Special Servicer assumes the rights and obligations of the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer under any Sub-Servicing Agreement, the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, at its expense shall,
upon request of the Trustee, deliver to the assuming party all documents and
records relating to such Sub-Servicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loans then
being serviced thereunder and an accounting of amounts collected and held on
behalf of it thereunder, and otherwise use reasonable efforts to effect the
orderly and efficient transfer of the Sub-Servicing Agreement to the assuming
party.
(e) Notwithstanding any Sub-Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer
and the Special Servicer each shall remain obligated and liable to the Trustee
and the Certificateholders for the servicing and administration of the Mortgage
Loans in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement to the same extent
and under the same terms and conditions as if it alone were servicing and
administering the Mortgage Loans for which it is responsible.
SECTION 3.23 Designation of Special Servicer by the Majority
Certificateholder of the Controlling Class.
The Certificateholders entitled to more than 50% of the Voting Rights
allocated to the Controlling Class, may at any time and from time to time
replace any existing Special Servicer or any Special Servicer that has resigned
or otherwise ceased to serve as Special Servicer. Such Holders shall so
designate a Person to so serve by the delivery to the Trustee of a written
notice stating such designation, subject to the approval of the Trustee, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Trustee shall, promptly after
receiving any such notice, so notify the Rating Agencies. If the Trustee
approves the designated Person (based upon the servicing qualifications and
financial condition of such designated Person) as a replacement Special
Servicer, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, the designated
Person shall become the Special Servicer as of the date the Trustee shall have
received: (i) written confirmation from the Rating Agencies stating that if the
designated Person were to serve as Special Servicer hereunder, none of the
then-current ratings of the outstanding Classes of the Certificates would be
qualified, downgraded or withdrawn; (ii) a written acceptance of all
obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement, executed by the
designated Person; and (iii) an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the
Person designated to become the Special Servicer or the Holders that made the
designation) to the effect that the designation of such Person to serve as
Special Servicer is in compliance with
104
this Section 3.23 and all other applicable provisions of this Agreement, that
upon the execution and delivery of the written acceptance referred to in the
immediately preceding clause (ii), the designated Person shall be bound by the
terms of this Agreement and that this Agreement shall be enforceable against
the designated Person in accordance with its terms. The existing Special
Servicer shall be deemed to have resigned simultaneously with such designated
Person's becoming the Special Servicer hereunder; provided, however, that (i)
the resigning Special Servicer shall continue to be entitled to receive all
amounts accrued or owing to it under this Agreement on or prior to the
effective date of such resignation, whether in respect of Servicing Advances or
otherwise, and (ii) it and its directors, officers, employees and agents shall
continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 6.03, notwithstanding any
such resignation. Such resigning Special Servicer shall cooperate with the
Trustee and the replacement Special Servicer in effecting the termination of
the resigning Special Servicer's responsibilities and rights hereunder,
including, without limitation, the transfer within two Business Days to the
replacement Special Servicer for administration by it of all cash amounts that
shall at the time be or should have been deposited in the REO Account or
delivered by the Special Servicer to the Master Servicer or that are thereafter
received with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Properties.

SECTION 3.28 Lock-Box Accounts and Servicing Accounts.
(a) The Master Servicer shall administer each Lock-Box Account, Cash
Collateral Account and Servicing Account in accordance with the related
Mortgage Loan, Cash Collateral Account Agreement or Lock-Box Agreement, if any.
(b) For any Mortgage Loan that provides that a Lock-Box Account will
be established upon the occurrence of certain events specified in such Mortgage
Loan, the Master Servicer (or, with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan, the
Special Servicer) shall establish or cause to be established such Lock-Box
Account upon the occurrence of such events unless the Master Servicer (or the
Special Servicer, as applicable) determines, in accordance with the Servicing
Standards, that such Lock-Box Account should not be established.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer, as
applicable) shall establish or cause to be established a Lock-Box Account for
each ARD Loan no later than its Anticipated Repayment Date.

enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

faith and reasonable judgment, is likely to affect materially and adversely
either the ability of GMACCM to perform its obligations under this Agreement or
the financial condition of GMACCM.
(vi) No litigation is pending or, to the best of GMACCM's knowledge,
threatened against GMACCM the outcome of which, in GMACCM's good faith and
reasonable judgment, could reasonably be expected to prohibit GMACCM from
entering into this Agreement or materially and adversely affect the ability of
GMACCM to perform its obligations under this Agreement.
106
(vii) GMACCM has errors and omissions insurance coverage which is in
full force and effect and complies with the requirements of Section 3.07
hereof.

compliance by GMACCM with this Agreement, or the consummation by GMACCM of any
transaction contemplated hereby, other than (1) such consents, approvals,
authorizations, qualifications, registrations, filings, or notices as have been
obtained or made and (2) where the lack of such consent, approval,
authorization, qualification, registration, filing or notice would not have a
material adverse effect on the performance by GMACCM under this Agreement.

paid, for all prior Distribution Dates;
(ii) to pay principal to REMIC II in respect of the various REMIC I

On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall be deemed to apply
amounts relating to each Prepayment Premium then on deposit in the Distribution
Account and received during or prior to the related Collection Period, to pay
additional interest to REMIC II in respect of the REMIC I Regular Interest that
relates to the Mortgage Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be, as to which such
Prepayment Premium was received.

respect of such REMIC II Regular Interests for such Distribution Date and, to
the extent not previously deemed paid, for all prior Distribution Dates with
such payments allocated among the REMIC II Regular Interests such that
remaining amounts, if any, of unpaid interest on each such REMIC II Regular

4.01(c) below;
(ii) to pay principal to REMIC III in respect of all REMIC II Regular
Interests apportioned as payment of Uncertificated Principal Balance among the

than payments thereunder in reimbursement of any Realized Losses and Additional
Trust Fund Expenses); and
(iii) to reimburse REMIC III for any Realized Losses and Additional
Trust Fund Expenses previously deemed allocated to REMIC II Regular Interests,

Class R-II Certificates, in accordance with Section 4.01(c), that portion, if
any, of the REMIC II Distribution Amount for such date that has not otherwise
been deemed paid to REMIC III in respect of the REMIC II Regular Interests
pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.01(b) (such portion, the

the REMIC II Regular Interests in an amount with respect to each REMIC II
Regular Interest equal to the amount allocable to the corresponding Principal
Balance Certificate and Class X Component outstanding after all subsequent
adjustments made on such Distribution Date under Section 4.01(c) below.
(c) On each Distribution Date, following the deemed payments to REMIC
III in respect of the REMIC II Regular Interests on such date pursuant to

Class of Principal Balance Certificates, shall be to the Principal Distribution
Amount for such Distribution Date, net of any payments of principal made in
respect thereof to the Holders of each Class of Principal Balance Certificates
that have a higher Payment Priority.
On each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall withdraw any amounts then
on deposit in the Distribution Account that represent Prepayment Premiums
collected during or prior to the related Collection Period and shall distribute
such amounts, in each case, subject to available funds, as additional interest,
as follows:
(i) to the Holders of the Class A, Class B, Class C, Class D,
Class E, Class F and Class G Certificates in an aggregate amount up to
the product of (a) such Prepayment Premiums, (b) the Discount Rate
Fraction and (c) the Principal Allocation Fraction of such Class; and
(ii) then, to the Holders of the Class X Certificates.
All of the foregoing distributions to be made from the Distribution
Account on any Distribution Date with respect to the REMIC III Certificates
shall be deemed made from the payments deemed made to REMIC II in respect of
the REMIC II Regular Interests on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section
4.01(b).
113
(d) All distributions made with respect to each Class on each
Distribution Date shall be allocated pro rata among the outstanding
Certificates in such Class based on their respective Percentage Interests.
Except as otherwise provided below, all such distributions with respect to each
Class on each Distribution Date shall be made to the Certificateholders of the
respective Class of record at the close of business on the related Record Date
and shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the
account of any such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having
appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder shall have provided
the Trustee with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to
the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a
standing order applicable to all subsequent Distribution Dates) or otherwise by
check mailed to the address of such Certificateholder as it appears in the
Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate (determined
without regard to any possible future reimbursement of any Realized Loss or
Additional Trust Fund Expense previously allocated to such Certificate) will be
made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of such
Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location
specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution. Any
distribution that is to be made with respect to a Certificate in reimbursement
of a Realized Loss or Additional Trust Fund Expense previously allocated
thereto, which reimbursement is to occur after the date on which such
Certificate is surrendered as contemplated by the preceding sentence, will be
made by check mailed to the address of the Certificateholder that surrendered
such Certificate as such address last appeared in the Certificate Registrar or
to any other address of which the Trustee was subsequently notified in writing.
(e) Each distribution with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate shall
be paid to the Depository, as Holder thereof, and the Depository shall be
responsible for crediting the amount of such distribution to the accounts of
its Depository Participants in accordance with its normal procedures. Each
Depository Participant shall be responsible for disbursing such distribution to
the Certificate Owners that it represents and to each indirect participating
brokerage firm (a "brokerage firm" or "indirect participating firm") for which
it acts as agent. Each brokerage firm shall be responsible for disbursing funds
to the Certificate Owners that it represents. None of the Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar, the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer shall have any responsibility therefor except as otherwise provided by
this Agreement or applicable law.
(f) The rights of the Certificateholders to receive distributions from
the proceeds of the Trust Fund in respect of their Certificates, and all rights
and interests of the Certificateholders in and to such distributions, shall be
as set forth in this Agreement. Neither the Holders of any Class of
Certificates nor any party hereto shall in any way be responsible or liable to
the Holders of any other Class of Certificates in respect of amounts properly
previously distributed on the Certificates. Distributions in reimbursement of
Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund Expenses previously allocated to a
Class of Certificates shall not constitute distributions of principal and shall
not result in a reduction of the related Class Principal Balance.
(g) Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01, whenever the Trustee
expects that the final distribution with respect to any Class of Certificates
(determined without regard to any
114
possible future reimbursement of any Realized Loss or Additional Trust Fund
Expense previously allocated to such Class of Certificates) will be made on the
next Distribution Date, the Trustee shall, as soon as practicable in the month
in which such Distribution Date occurs, mail to each Holder of such Class of
Certificates as of the date of mailing a notice to the effect that:
(i) the Trustee expects that the final distribution with respect
to such Class of Certificates will be made on such Distribution Date
but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificates at the
offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location therein
specified, and
(ii) no interest shall accrue on such Certificates from and after
such Distribution Date.
Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such
Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or
Holders to tender their Certificates, shall, on such date, be set aside and
held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the
appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which
notice has been given pursuant to this Section 4.01(g) shall not have been
surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such
notice, the Trustee shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering
Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to
receive the final distri bution with respect thereto. If within one year after
the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation, the Trustee, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps
to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning the
surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate. The costs and
expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such
Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such
second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such
funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any
amount held in trust hereunder by the Trustee as a result of such
Certificateholder's failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment
thereof in accordance with this Section 4.01(g). If all of the Certificates
shall not have been surrendered for cancellation by the second anniversary of
the delivery of the second notice, the Trustee shall distribute all unclaimed
funds and other assets which remain subject hereto to the holders of the Class
R-I Certificates.
(h) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Trustee
shall comply with all federal withholding requirements respecting payments to
Certificateholders of interest or original issue discount that the Trustee
reasonably believes are applicable under the Code. The consent of
Certificateholders shall not be required for such withholding. In the event the
Trustee does withhold any amount from interest or original issue discount
payments or advances thereof to any Certificateholder pursuant to federal
withholding requirements, the Trustee shall indicate the amount withheld to
such Certificateholders.

borrower is required by the Mortgage to deliver and does deliver, or otherwise
agrees to provide and does provide, such information): (i) the most current
available year-to-date; (ii) each of the previous two full fiscal years stated
separately (to the extent such information is in the Master Servicer's
possession; and (iii) the "base year" (representing the original analysis of
information used as of the Cut-Off Date).
In addition, the Master Servicer is also required to perform with
respect to each Mortgaged Property and REO Property:
(i) Within 30 days after receipt of a quarterly operating
statement, if any, commencing with the calendar quarter ended
September 30, 1997, an "Operating Statement Analysis" containing
revenue, expense, and net operating income information substantially
in accordance with Exhibit I presenting the computation made in
accordance with the methodology set forth in Exhibit F (but only to
the extent the related borrower is required by the Mortgage to deliver
and does deliver, or otherwise agrees to provide and does provide,
such information) for such Mortgaged Property or REO Property as of
the end of
121
such calendar quarter. The Master Servicer will deliver to the
Trustee by electronic means the Operating Statement Analysis upon
request; and
(ii) Within 30 days after receipt by the Master Servicer of an
annual operating statement, an NOI adjustment analysis containing
substantially the content set forth in Exhibit I, the "NOI Adjustment
Worksheet," (but only to the extent the related borrower is required
by the Mortgage to deliver and does deliver, or otherwise agrees to
provide and does provide, such information) presenting the computation
made in accordance with the methodology described in Exhibit F to
"normalize" the full year net operating income and debt service
coverage numbers used by the Master Servicer in its reporting
obligation in (1) above. The Master Servicer will deliver to the
Trustee by electronic means the "NOI Adjustment Worksheet" upon
request.
Upon request, the Trustee shall deliver or shall cause to be delivered to each
Certificateholder, to any Underwriter, to the Rating Agencies, and to each
Certificate Owner that makes a written request therefor and certifies as to its
Ownership Interest in any Class of Book-Entry Certificates a copy of the
Operating Statement Analysis and NOI Adjustment Worksheet most recently
performed by the Master Servicer with respect to any Mortgage Loan and
delivered to the Trustee.
Not later than the first day of the calendar month following each
Master Servicer Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall forward to the
Trustee a statement, setting forth the status of the Certificate Account as of
the close of business on such Master Servicer Remittance Date, stating that all
remittances to the Trustee required by this Agreement to be made by the Master
Servicer have been made (or, in the case of any such required remittance that
has not been made by the Master Servicer, specifying the nature and status
thereof) and showing, for the period from the preceding Master Servicer
Remittance Date (or, in the case of the first Master Servicer Remittance Date,
from the Cut-off Date) to such Master Servicer Remittance Date, the aggregate
of deposits into and withdrawals from the Certificate Account for each category
of deposit specified in Section 3.04(a) and each category of withdrawal
specified in Section 3.05(a). The Master Servicer shall also deliver to the
Trustee, upon reasonable request of the Trustee, any and all additional
information relating to the Mortgage Pool in the possession of the Master
Servicer (which information shall be based upon reports delivered to the Master
Servicer by the Special Servicer with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage
Loans and REO Properties).
The Master Servicer, on the first Business Day following each
Determination Date, shall forward to the Special Servicer all information
collected by the Master Servicer which the Special Servicer is required to
include in the reports delivered by the Special Servicer pursuant to Section
4.02(c) below. Further, the Master Servicer shall cooperate with the Special
Servicer and provide the Special Servicer with the information in the
possession of the Master Servicer reasonably requested by the Special Servicer,
in writing, to the extent required to allow the Special Servicer to perform its
obligations under this Agreement with respect to those Mortgage Loans serviced
by the Master Servicer.
122
The obligation of the Master Servicer to deliver the reports required
to be delivered by it pursuant to this subsection (b) is subject to the Master
Servicer having received from the Special Servicer in a timely manner the
related reports and information necessary or required to enable the Master
Servicer to prepare and deliver such reports. The Master Servicer shall not be
responsible for the accuracy or content of any report, document or information
furnished by the Special Servicer to the Master Servicer pursuant to this
Agreement and accepted by the Master Servicer in good faith pursuant to this
Agreement.
(c) On the second Business Day after each Determination Date, the
Special Servicer shall forward to the Master Servicer, for each Specially
Serviced Mortgage Loan and REO Property, reports containing all information the
Master Servicer will be required to include in the other reports that the
Master Servicer is obligated to deliver to the Trustee pursuant to Section
4.02(b), to the extent such information relates to any Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loan or any REO Property. The Special Servicer shall also deliver to
the Trustee, upon the reasonable written request of the Trustee, any and all
additional information in the possession of the Special Servicer relating to
the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and the REO Properties.
The Special Servicer shall cooperate with the Master Servicer and
provide the Master Servicer with the information in the possession of the
Special Servicer reasonably requested by the Master Servicer, in writing, to
the extent required to allow the Master Servicer to perform its obligations
under this Agreement with respect to the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and
REO Properties. Additional information regarding the Specially Serviced
Mortgage Loans and REO Properties, including, without limitation, any financial
or occupancy information (including lease summaries) provided to the Special
Servicer by the Mortgagors or otherwise obtained, shall be delivered to the
Master Servicer, within ten days of receipt.
SECTION 4.03 Delinquency Advances.
(a) On each Delinquency Advance Date, the Master Servicer shall either
(i) deposit into the Certificate Account from its own funds an amount equal to
the aggregate amount of Delinquency Advances, if any, to be made in respect of
the related Distribution Date, (ii) apply amounts held in the Certificate
Account for future distribution to Certificateholders in subsequent months in
discharge of any such obligation to make Delinquency Advances, or (iii) make
Delinquency Advances in the form of any combination of (i) and (ii) aggregating
the total amount of Delinquency Advances to be made; provided that, if Late
Collections (net of related Workout Fees) of the delinquent Monthly Payments
for which Delinquency Advances are to be made for the related Distribution
Date, are on deposit in the Certificate Account and available to make such
Advances, the Master Servicer shall utilize such Late Collections to make such
Advances pursuant to clause (ii) above. Any amounts held in the Certificate
Account for future distribution and so used to make Delinquency Advances shall
be appropriately reflected in the Master Servicer's records and replaced by the
Master Servicer by deposit in the Certificate Account on or before the next
succeeding Determination Date (to the extent not previously replaced through
the deposit of Late Collections of the delinquent principal and interest in
respect of which such Delinquency Advances
123
were made). If, as of 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Master Servicer
Remittance Date, the Trustee shall not have received any Delinquency Advance
required to be made by the Master Servicer pursuant to this Section 4.03(a)
(and the Master Servicer shall not have delivered to the Trustee the requisite
Officer's Certificate and documentation related to a determination of
nonrecoverability of a Delinquency Advance), then the Trustee shall provide
notice of such failure to a Servicing Officer of the Master Servicer by
facsimile transmission sent to telecopy no. (000) 000-0000 (or such alternative
number provided by the Master Servicer to the Trustee in writing) and by
telephone at telephone no. (000) 000-0000 (Attention: Master Servicing Manager)
(or such alternative number provided by the Master Servicer to the Trustee in
writing) as soon as possible, but in any event before 5:00 p.m., New York City
time, on such day. If after such notice the Trustee does not receive the full
amount of such Delinquency Advances by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the
Business Day immediately following such Master Servicer Remittance Date, then
the Trustee shall make the portion of such Delinquency Advances that was
required to be, but was not, made by the Master Servicer pursuant to this
Section 4.03(a). If the Trustee fails to make a Delinquency Advance required to
be made by it hereunder, the Fiscal Agent shall make such advance no later than
1:00 p.m. New York City time on the Business Day immediately following such
Master Servicer Remittance Date. The making of such advance by the Fiscal Agent
shall cure the failure by the Trustee to make such advance.
(b) The aggregate amount of Delinquency Advances to be made by the
Master Servicer in respect of the Mortgage Loans (including, without
limitation, Balloon Mortgage Loans delinquent as to their respective Balloon
Payments) and any REO Loans for any Distribution Date shall equal, subject to
subsection (c) below, the aggregate of all Monthly Payments (other than Balloon
Payments) and any Assumed Monthly Payments, in each case net of related Workout
Fees payable hereunder, that were due or deemed due, as the case may be, in
respect thereof on their respective Due Dates during the related Collection
Period and that were not paid by or on behalf of the related Mortgagors or
otherwise collected as of the close of business on the last day of the related
Collection Period; provided that, if an Appraisal Reduction Amount exists with
respect to any Required Appraisal Loan, then, in the event of subsequent
delinquencies thereon, the interest portion of the Delinquency Advance in
respect of such Required Appraisal Loan for the related Distribution Date shall
be reduced (it being herein acknowledged that there shall be no reduction in
the principal portion of such Delinquency Advance) to equal the product of (i)
the amount of the interest portion of such Delinquency Advance for such
Required Appraisal Loan for such Distribution Date without regard to this
proviso, multiplied by (ii) a fraction, expressed as a percentage, the
numerator of which is equal to the Stated Principal Balance of such Required
Appraisal Loan immediately prior to such Distribution Date, net of the related
Appraisal Reduction Amount, if any, and the denominator of which is equal to
the Stated Principal Balance of such Required Appraisal Loan immediately prior
to such Distribution Date.
(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Delinquency
Advance shall be required to be made hereunder if such Delinquency Advance
would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Delinquency Advance. In addition,
Nonrecoverable Delinquency Advances shall be reimbursable pursuant to Section
3.05(a) out of general collections on the Mortgage Loans and
124
REO Properties on deposit in the Certificate Account. The determination by the
Master Servicer or, if applicable, the Trustee or Fiscal Agent, that it has
made a Nonrecoverable Delinquency Advance or that any proposed Delinquency
Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Delinquency Advance, shall
be evidenced by an Officer's Certificate delivered promptly (and, in any event,
in the case of a proposed Delinquency Advance, no less than two Business Days
prior to the related Delinquency Advance Date) by the Master Servicer to the
Trustee (or, if applicable, retained thereby) and the Depositor, setting forth
the basis for such determination, together with (if such determination is prior
to the liquidation of the related Mortgage Loan or REO Property) a copy of an
Appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property, as the case may
be, which shall have been performed within the twelve months preceding such
determination, and further accompanied by any other information that the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer may have obtained and that supports such
determination. If such an Appraisal shall not have been required and performed
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer, the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent, as the case may be, may, subject to
its reasonable and good faith determination that such Appraisal will
demonstrate the nonrecoverability of the related Advance, obtain an Appraisal
for such purpose at the expense of the Trust Fund. The Trustee and the Fiscal
Agent shall be entitled to rely on any determination of nonrecoverability that
may have been made by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer with respect
to a particular Delinquency Advance, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled
to rely on any determination of nonrecoverability that may have been made by
the Special Servicer with respect to a particular Delinquency Advance.
(d) The Master Servicer, the Trustee and the Fiscal Agent shall each
be entitled to receive interest at the Reimbursement Rate in effect from time
to time, accrued on the amount of each Delinquency Advance made thereby (out of
its own funds) for so long as such Delinquency Advance is outstanding (or, if
any Delinquency Advance is required to be made in respect of a delinquent
Monthly Payment on any Mortgage Loan prior to the end of the grace period for
such Monthly Payment, for so long as such Delinquency Advance is outstanding
following the end of such grace period), payable first, out of Penalty Charges
received on the Mortgage Loan or REO Loan as to which such Delinquency Advance
was made and, then, once such Delinquency Advance has been reimbursed, out of
general collections on the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties.
SECTION 4.04 Allocation of Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund
Expenses.
(a) On each Distribution Date, following the deemed distributions to
be made in respect of the REMIC I Regular Interests pursuant to Section
4.01(a), the Uncertificated Principal Balance of each REMIC I Regular Interest
(after taking account of such deemed distributions) shall be reduced to equal
the Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan or REO Loan, or if
applicable, a Replacement Mortgage Loan, as the case may be, that will be
outstanding immediately following such Distribution Date. Such reductions shall
be deemed to be an allocation of Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund
Expenses.
125
(b) On each Distribution Date, following the payments deemed to be
made to REMIC III in respect of the REMIC II Regular Interests on such date
pursuant to Section 4.01(b), the Trustee shall determine the amount, if any, by
which (i) the then aggregate Uncertificated Principal Balance of REMIC II
Regular Interests LA-1, LA-2, LA-3, LB, LC, LD, LE, LF, LG, LH, LJ and LK
exceeds (ii) an amount equal to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Pool that will be outstanding immediately following such Distribution
Date. If such excess does exist, then the respective Uncertificated Principal
Balances of such REMIC II Regular Interests shall be reduced such that the
Uncertificated Principal Balance of each REMIC II Regular Interest corresponds
with the Certificate Principal Balance of the corresponding Class of
Certificates outstanding after the subsequent adjustments made on such
Distribution Date under Section 4.04(c) below.
(c) On each Distribution Date, following the distributions to be made
to the Certificateholders on such date pursuant to Section 4.01(c), the Trustee
shall determine the amount, if any, by which (i) the then aggregate Certificate
Principal Balance of the Principal Balance Certificates, exceeds (ii) the
aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Pool that will be
outstanding immediately following such Distribution Date. If such excess does
exist, then the Class Principal Balances of the Class K, Class J, Class H,
Class G, Class F, Class E, Class D, Class C and Class B Certificates shall be
reduced sequentially, in that order, in each case, until the first to occur of
such excess being reduced to zero or the related Class Principal Balance being
reduced to zero. If, after the foregoing reductions, the amount described in
clause (i) of the second preceding sentence still exceeds the amount described
in clause (ii) of the second preceding sentence, then the respective Class
Principal Balances of the Class A-1, Class A-2 and Class A-3 Certificates shall
be reduced, pro rata in accordance with the relative sizes of the then
outstanding Class Principal Balances of such Classes of Certificates, until the
first to occur of such excess being reduced to zero or each such Class
Principal Balance being reduced to zero. Such reductions in the Class Principal
Balances of the respective Classes of Principal Certificates shall be deemed to
be allocations of Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund Expenses.
126
ARTICLE V
THE CERTIFICATES
SECTION 5.01 The Certificates.
(a) The Certificates will be substantially in the respective forms
annexed hereto as Exhibits A-1 through A-16. The Certificates will be issuable
in registered form only; provided, however, that in accordance with Section
5.03 beneficial ownership interests in the Registered Certificates shall
initially be held and transferred through the book-entry facilities of the
Depository. The REMIC III Regular Certificates will be issuable in
denominations corresponding to initial Certificate Principal Balances
Certificate Notional Amounts or Effective Certificate Notional Amounts, as the
case may be, as of the Closing Date of not less than $25,000 in the case of the

C, Class D, Class E and Class F Certificates, $250,000 in the case of the Class
G, Class H, Class J and Class K Certificates, and $1,000,000 in the case of the
Class X Certificates, and in each such case in any whole dollar denomination in
excess thereof; provided, however, that a single Certificate of each Class
thereof may be issued in a different denomination. The Residual Certificates
will be issuable only in denominations representing Percentage Interests of not
less than 20% in the related Class.
(b) The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile
signature on behalf of the Trustee in its capacity as trustee hereunder by an
authorized officer. Certificates bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of
individuals who were at any time the authorized officers of the Trustee shall
be entitled to all benefits under this Agreement, subject to the following
sentence, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to
hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Certificates
or did not hold such offices at the date of such Certificates. No Certificate
shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any
purpose, however, unless there appears on such Certificate a certificate of
authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the
Certificate Registrar by manual signature, and such certificate of
authentication upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only
evidence, that such Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered
hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication.
127
SECTION 5.02 Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.
(a) At all times during the term of this Agreement, there shall be
maintained at the office of the Certificate Registrar a Certificate Register in
which, subject to such reasonable regulations as the Certificate Registrar may
prescribe, the Certificate Registrar shall provide for the registration of
Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided.
The Trustee is hereby initially appointed (and hereby agrees to act in
accordance with the terms hereof) as Certificate Registrar for the purpose of
registering Certificates and transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein
provided. The Certificate Registrar may appoint, by a written instrument
delivered to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, any
other bank or trust company to act as Certificate Registrar under such
conditions as the predecessor Certificate Registrar may prescribe, provided
that the predecessor Certificate Registrar shall not be relieved of any of its
duties or responsibilities hereunder by reason of such appointment. If the
Trustee resigns or is removed in accordance with the terms hereof, the
successor trustee shall immediately succeed to its predecessor's duties as
Certificate Registrar. The Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Special
Servicer, shall have the right to inspect the Certificate Register or to obtain
a copy thereof at all reasonable times, and to rely conclusively upon a
certificate of the Certificate Registrar as to the information set forth in the
Certificate Register.
(b) No transfer of any Non-Registered Certificate shall be made unless
that transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act, and effective registration or qualification under applicable
state securities laws, or is made in a transaction which does not require such
registration or qualification. If such a transfer is to be made without
registration under the Securities Act, other than a transfer by the Depositor
or an Affiliate thereof, then the Trustee shall require, in order to assure
compliance with such laws, receipt by it and the Depositor of: (i) if such
transfer is purportedly being made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the
Securities Act, a certificate from the Certificateholder desiring to effect
such transfer substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B-1 hereto and a
certificate from such Certificateholder's prospective transferee substantially
in the form attached as Exhibit B-2 hereto; and (ii) in all other cases, (A) a
certificate from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-1 and a certificate from
such Certificateholder's prospective transferee substantially in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit B-3, and (B) unless the Depositor directs otherwise,
an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee and the Depositor to the
effect that such transfer may be made without such registration (which Opinion
of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund or of the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar
in their respective capacities as such). None of the Depositor, the Trustee or
the Certificate Registrar is obligated to register or qualify any Class of
Non-Registered Certificates under the Securities Act or any other securities
law or to take any action not otherwise required under this Agreement to permit
the transfer of any Non-Registered Certificate without registration or
qualification. Any Holder of a Non-Registered Certificate desiring to effect
such a transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Depositor, the
128
Trustee and the Certificate Registrar against any liability that may result if
the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal
and state laws.
(c) (i) No transfer of a Senior Certificate or any interest therein
shall be made (A) to any employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement,
including individual retirement accounts and annuities, Xxxxx plans and
collective investment funds and separate accounts in which such plans, accounts
or arrangements are invested, that is subject to ERISA or the Code (each, a
"Plan"), or (B) to any Person who is directly or indirectly purchasing such
Certificate or interest therein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee
of, or with assets of a Plan, unless: (x) (1) such Plan qualifies as an
eligible investor under the terms of Prohibited Transaction Exemption 94-29
(granted to certain affiliates of the Depositor) and (2) at the time of such
transfer, the Senior Certificates continue to be rated in one of the top three
rating categories by at least one Rating Agency or (y) the purchase and holding
of such Certificate or interest therein is exempt from the prohibited
transaction provisions of Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code
under Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60. Each Person who acquires
any Senior Certificate or interest therein shall be deemed to have certified
that the foregoing conditions are satisfied.
(ii) No transfer of a Subordinated Certificate or any interest therein
shall be made (A) to any employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement,
including individual retirement accounts and annuities, Xxxxx plans and
collective investment funds and separate accounts in which such plans, accounts
or arrangements are invested, that is subject to ERISA or the Code (each, a
"Plan"), or (B) to any Person who is directly or indirectly purchasing such
Certificate or interest therein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee
of, or with assets of a Plan, unless: (x) in the case of a Subordinated
Certificate that constitutes a Book-Entry Certificate, the purchase and holding
of such Certificate or interest therein is exempt from the prohibited
transaction provisions of Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code
under Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60: or (y) in the case of a
Subordinated Certificate that is held as a Definitive Certificate, the
prospective transferee provides the Trustee, the Depositor and the Master
Servicer with a certification of facts and an Opinion of Counsel which
establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee, the Depositor and the Master
Servicer that such transfer will not result in a violation of Section 406 of
ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or cause the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer or the Trustee to be deemed a fiduciary of such Plan or result in the
imposition of an excise tax under Section 4975 of the Code. Each Person who
acquires any Subordinated Certificate or interest therein (unless it shall have
delivered the certification of facts and Opinion of Counsel referred to in the
preceding sentence) shall be deemed to have certified that it is neither a Plan
nor any Person who is directly or indirectly purchasing such Subordinated
Certificate or interest therein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee
of, or with assets of a Plan (or, alternatively, in the case of a Book-Entry
Certificate or interest therein, that the purchase and holding of such
Certificate or interest therein is exempt from the prohibited transaction
provisions of Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code under
Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60). The Trustee may require that any
prospective transferee of a Subordinated Certificate that is held as a
Definitive Certificate, provide such certifications as the Trustee may deem
desirable or necessary in order to establish that such transferee or the Person
in whose name such registration is requested is not a Plan
129
or a Person who is directly or indirectly purchasing such Certificate on behalf
of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with assets of a Plan. The Trustee
shall not have any responsibility to monitor or restrict the transfer of
Ownership Interests in any Subordinated Certificates which are in the form of a
Book-Entry Certificate.
(d) (i) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in
a Residual Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such
Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions and
to have irrevocably authorized the Trustee under clause (ii)(A) below to
deliver payments to a Person other than such Person and to have irrevocably
authorized the Trustee under clause (ii)(B) below to negotiate the terms of any
mandatory sale and to execute all instruments of Transfer and to do all other
things necessary in connection with any such sale. The rights of each Person
acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate are expressly
subject to the following provisions:
(A) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest
in a Residual Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and a
United States Person and shall promptly notify the Trustee of any
change or impending change in its status as a Permitted
Transferee.
(B) In connection with any proposed Transfer of any
Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate, the Trustee shall
require delivery to it, and no Transfer of any Residual
Certificate shall be registered until the Trustee receives, an
affidavit and agreement substantially in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit C-1 (a "Transfer Affidavit and Agreement") from the
proposed Transferee, in form and substance satisfactory to the
Trustee, representing and warranting, among other things, that
such Transferee is a Permitted Transferee, that it is not
acquiring its Ownership Interest in the Residual Certificate that
is the subject of the proposed Transfer as a nominee, trustee or
agent for any Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, that for
so long as it retains its Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate, it will endeavor to remain a Permitted Transferee,
that it is a United States Person, and that it has reviewed the
provisions of this Section 5.02(d) and agrees to be bound by
them.
(C) Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transfer Affidavit and
Agreement by a proposed Transferee under clause (B) above, if the
Trustee has actual knowledge that the proposed Transferee is not
a Permitted Transferee or is not a United States Person, no
Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to
such proposed Transferee shall be effected.
(D) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest
in a Residual Certificate shall agree (1) to require a Transfer
Affidavit and
130
Agreement from any prospective Transferee to whom such
Person attempts to transfer its Ownership Interest in such
Residual Certificate and (2) not to transfer its Ownership
Interest in such Residual Certificate unless it provides to the
Trustee a certificate substantially in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit C-2 stating that, among other things, it has no actual
knowledge that such prospective Transferee is not a Permitted
Transferee or is not a United States Person.
(E) Each Person holding or acquiring an Ownership Interest
in a Residual Certificate, by purchasing an Ownership Interest in
such Certificate, agrees to give the Trustee written notice that
it is a "pass-through interest holder" within the meaning of
temporary Treasury regulation Section 1.67-3T(a)(2)(i)(A)
immediately upon acquiring an Ownership Interest in a Residual
Certificate, if it is, or is holding an Ownership Interest in a
Residual Certificate on behalf of, a "pass-through interest
holder".
(ii) (A) If any purported Transferee shall become a Holder of a
Residual Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section
5.02(d) or if any Holder of a Residual Certificate shall lose its
status as a Permitted Transferee or a United States Person, then the
last preceding Holder of such Residual Certificate that was in
compliance with the provisions of this Section 5.02(d) shall be
restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights as Holder
thereof retroactive to the date of registration of such Transfer of
such Residual Certificate. None of the Trustee, the Master Servicer,
the Special Servicer or the Certificate Registrar shall be under any
liability to any Person for any registration of Transfer of a Residual
Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 5.02(d) or
for making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof
or for taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the
provisions of this Agreement.
(B) If any purported Transferee shall become a Holder of a
Residual Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section
5.02(d), or if any Holder of a Residual Certificate shall lose its
status as a Permitted Transferee or a United States Person, and to the
extent that the retroactive restoration of the rights of the prior
Holder of such Residual Certificate as described in clause (ii)(A)
above shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then the Trustee
shall have the right, without notice to the Holder or any prior Holder
of such Residual Certificate, to sell such Residual Certificate to a
purchaser selected by the Trustee on such terms as the Trustee may
choose. Such non-complying Holder shall promptly endorse and deliver
such Residual Certificate in accordance with the instructions of the
Trustee. Such purchaser may be the Trustee itself or any Affiliate of
the Trustee. The proceeds of such sale, net of the commissions (which
may include commissions payable to the Trustee or its Affiliates),
expenses and taxes due, if any, will be remitted by the Trustee to
such non-complying Holder. The terms and conditions of any sale under
131
this clause (ii)(B) shall be determined in the sole discretion of
the Trustee, and the Trustee shall not be liable to any Person having
an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate as a result of its
exercise of such discretion.
(iii) The Trustee shall make available to the Internal Revenue
Service and those Persons specified by the REMIC Provisions, all
information necessary to compute any tax imposed (A) as a result of
the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate to any
Person who is not a Permitted Transferee, including the information
described in Treasury regulations sections 1.860D-1(b)(5) and
1.860E-2(a)(5)with respect to the "excess inclusions" of such Residual
Certificate and (B) as a result of any regulated investment company,
real estate investment trust, common trust fund, partnership, trust,
estate or organization described in Section 1381 of the Code that
holds an Ownership Interest in a Residual Certificate having as among
its record holders at any time any Person which is not a Permitted
Transferee. The Person holding such Ownership Interest shall be
responsible for the reasonable compensation of the Trustee for
providing such information.
(iv) The provisions of this Section 5.02(d) set forth prior to
this subsection (iv) may be modified, added to or eliminated, provided
that there shall have been delivered to the Trustee and the Depositor
the following:
(A) written notification from each Rating Agency to the
effect that the modification of, addition to or elimination of
such provisions will not cause such Rating Agency to qualify,
downgrade or withdraw its then-current rating of any Class of
Certificates; and
(B) an Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Trustee and the Depositor, to the effect that
such modification of, addition to or elimination of such
provisions will not cause any of REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III
to (x) cease to qualify as a REMIC or (y) be subject to an
entity-level tax caused by the Transfer of any Residual
Certificate to a Person which is not a Permitted Transferee, or
cause a Person other than the prospective Transferee to be
subject to a REMIC-related tax caused by the Transfer of a
Residual Certificate to a Person which is not a Permitted
Transferee.
(e) Subject to the preceding subsections, upon surrender for
registration of transfer of any Certificate at the offices of the Certificate
Registrar maintained for such purpose, the Trustee shall execute and the
Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the
designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same
Class of a like aggre gate Percentage Interest.
132
(f) At the option of any Holder, its Certificates may be exchanged for
other Certificates of authorized denominations of the same Class of a like
aggregate Percentage Interest, upon surrender of the Certificates to be
exchanged at the offices of the Certificate Registrar maintained for such
purpose. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee
shall execute and the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver the
Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to
receive.
(g) Every Certificate presented or surrendered for transfer or
exchange shall (if so required by the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar) be
duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the
form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed
by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
(h) No service charge shall be imposed for any transfer or exchange of
Certificates, but the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require payment
of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be
imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.
(i) All Certificates surrendered for transfer and exchange shall be
physically canceled by the Certificate Registrar, and the Certificate Registrar
shall hold such canceled Certificates in accordance with its standard
procedures.
(j) The Certificate Registrar shall be required to provide notice to
the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Depositor of each transfer of
a Certificate and to provide each such Person with an updated copy of the
Certificate Register on or about January 1 and July 1 of each year, commencing
January 1, 1998.
SECTION 5.03 Book-Entry Certificates.
(a) Each class of Registered Certificates shall initially be issued as
one or more Certificates registered in the name of the Depository or its
nominee and, except as provided in subsection (c) below, transfer of such
Certificates may not be registered by the Certificate Registrar unless such
transfer is to a successor Depository that agrees to hold such Certificates for
the respective Certificate Owners with Ownership Interests therein. Such
Certificate Owners shall hold and transfer their respective Ownership Interests
in and to such Certificates through the book-entry facilities of the Depository
and, except as provided in subsection (c) below, shall not be entitled to
definitive, fully registered Certificates ("Definitive Certificates") in
respect of such Ownership Interests. The Trustee shall not have any
responsibility to monitor or restrict the transfer of Ownership Interests in
any Book-Entry Certificate. All transfers by Certificate Owners of their
respective Ownership Interests in the Book-Entry Certificates shall be made in
accordance with the procedures established by the Depository Participant or
brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owner. Each Depository Participant
shall only transfer the Ownership Interests in the Book-Entry Certificates of
Certificate Owners it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as
agent in accordance with the Depository's normal procedures.
133
(b) The Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the
Depositor and the Certificate Registrar may for all purposes, including the
making of payments due on the Book-Entry Certificates, deal with the Depository
as the authorized representative of the Certificate Owners with respect to such
Certificates for the purposes of exercising the rights of Certificateholders
hereunder. The rights of Certificate Owners with respect to the Book-Entry
Certificates shall be limited to those established by law and agreements
between such Certificate Owners and the Depository Participants and brokerage
firms representing such Certificate Owners. Multiple requests and directions
from, and votes of, the Depository as Holder of the Book-Entry Certificates
with respect to any particular matter shall not be deemed inconsistent if they
are made with respect to different Certificate Owners. The Trustee may
establish a reasonable record date in connection with solicitations of consents
from or voting by Certificateholders and shall give notice to the Depository of
such record date.
(c) If (i)(A) the Depositor advises the Trustee and the Certificate
Registrar in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to
properly discharge its responsibilities with respect to the Book-Entry
Certificates, and (B) the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor,
or (ii) the Depositor at its option advises the Trustee and the Certificate
Registrar in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through
the Depository, the Trustee shall notify all Certificate Owners, through the
Depository, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of
Definitive Certificates to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon
surrender to the Certificate Registrar of the Book-Entry Certificates by the
Depository, accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for
registration of transfer and any other documents necessary to satisfy the
requirements of any applicable transfer restrictions, the Trustee shall
execute, and the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, the
applicable Definitive Certificates to the Certificate Owners identified in such
instructions. None of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer,
the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent or the Certificate Registrar shall be liable for
any delay in delivery of such instructions, and each may conclusively rely on,
and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of
Definitive Certificates for purposes of evidencing ownership of the Registered
Certificates held in book-entry form, the registered holders of such Definitive
Certificates shall be recognized as Certificateholders hereunder and,
accordingly, shall be entitled directly to receive payments on, to exercise
Voting Rights with respect to, and to transfer and exchange such Definitive
Certificates.
134
SECTION 5.04 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.
If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate
Registrar, or the Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction
of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate, and (ii) there is
delivered to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar such security or
indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in
the absence of actual notice to the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar that
such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall
execute, and the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, in
exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
Certificate, a new Certificate of the same Class and like Percentage Interest.
Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section, the Trustee and
the Certificate Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto
and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee and the
Certificate Registrar) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued
pursuant to this Section shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of
ownership in the applicable REMIC, as if originally issued, whether or not the
lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.
SECTION 5.05 Persons Deemed Owners.
Prior to due presentation of a Certificate for registration of
transfer, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the
Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Certificate Registrar and any agents of any of
them may treat the person in whose name such Certificate is registered as the
owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant
to Section 4.01 and for all other purposes whatsoever, except as and to the
extent provided in the definition of "Certificateholder", and none of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Fiscal
Agent, the Certificate Registrar or any agent of any of them shall be affected
by notice to the contrary except as provided in Section 5.02(d).
SECTION 5.06 Transfer Procedures.
Neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Registrar shall have any
obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any
restriction or transfer imposed under Article V under this Agreement or under
applicable law with respect to any transfer of any Certificate, or any interest
therein, other than to require delivery of the certification(s) and/or Opinions
of Counsel described in Article V applicable with respect to changes in
registration of record ownership of Certificates in the Certificate Register.
The Trustee and the Certificate Registrar shall have no liability for
transfers, including transfers made through the book-entry facilities of the
Depository or between or among Depository Participants or Certificate Owners,
made in violation of applicable restrictions.

SECTION 6.01 Liability of the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the
Special Servicer.
The Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be
liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the respective obligations
specifically imposed upon and undertaken by the Depositor, the Master Servicer
and the Special Servicer herein.
SECTION 6.02 Merger, Consolidation or Conversion of the Depositor, the
Master Servicer and the Special Servicer; Assignment of
Rights and Delegation Duties by the Master Servicer and
the Special Servicer.
(a) Subject to subsection (b) below, the Depositor, the Master
Servicer and the Special Servicer each will keep in full effect its existence,
rights and franchises as a corporation under the laws of the jurisdiction of
its incorporation, and each will obtain and preserve 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 Certificates or any of the Mortgage Loans
and to perform its respective duties under this Agreement.
(b) The Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer 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 Depositor, the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to
the business of the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer,
shall be the successor of the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Special
Servicer, as the case may be, 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 that such merger,
consolidation or succession will not result in the downgrade, qualification or
withdrawal of the then-current ratings of the Classes of Certificates that have
been so rated (as evidenced by a letter to such effect from each Rating
Agency).
(c) Notwithstanding anything else in this Section 6.02 and Section
6.04 to the contrary, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer may assign
all of its rights and delegate all of its duties and obligations under this
Agreement; provided that the Person accepting such assignment or delegation
shall be a Person that is qualified to service multifamily mortgage loans on
behalf of FNMA or FHLMC, is reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and the
Depositor, is willing to service the Mortgage Loans and executes and delivers
to the Depositor and the Trustee an agreement, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Depositor and the Trustee, which contains an assumption by
such Person of the due and punctual performance and observance of each
136
covenant and condition to be performed or observed by the Master Servicer or
the Special Servicer, as the case may be, under this Agreement; provided
further that such assignment or delegation will not result in the downgrade,
qualification or withdrawal of the then-current ratings of the Classes of
Certificates that have been rated (as evidenced by a letter to such effect from
each Rating Agency). In the case of any such assignment and delegation, the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall be released
from its obligations under this Agreement, except that the Master Servicer or
the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall remain liable for all
liabilities and obligations incurred by it, or arising from its conduct,
hereunder prior to the satisfaction of the conditions to such assignment and
delegation set forth in the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding anything above
to the contrary, each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer may, in
its sole discretion, appoint Sub-Servicers in accordance with Section 3.22
hereof and independent contractors or agents to perform select duties thereof,
provided that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall not be relieved
from such duties solely by virtue of such appointment.
SECTION 6.03 Limitation on Liability of the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer and Others.
None of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or
any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Depositor, the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be under any liability to the
Trust Fund or the Certificateholders for any action 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 Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or any such Person
against any breach of warranties or representations made herein or any
liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance,
bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless
disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of
the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may rely in good
faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted
by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Depositor, the
Master Servicer and the Special Servicer and any director, officer, employee or
agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be
indemnified by the Trust Fund and held harmless against any loss, liability or
expense incurred in connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement
or the Certificates or any asset of the Trust Fund, other than any loss,
liability or expense specifically required to be borne by such Person pursuant
to the terms hereof, or which constitutes a Servicing Advance (and is otherwise
specifically reimbursable hereunder), or which is incurred by such Person by
reason of such Person's willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the
performance of such Person's duties hereunder or by reason of such Person's
reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder.
None of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer
shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal or
administrative action, proceeding, hearing or examination that is not
incidental to its respective duties under this Agreement and which in its
opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that the
Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may in its discretion
undertake any such action, proceeding, hearing
137
or examination that it may deem necessary or desirable in respect to this
Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of
the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the legal expenses and costs
of such action, proceeding, hearing or examination and any liability resulting
therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust Fund, and the
Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be entitled to be
reimbursed therefor out of amounts attributable to the Mortgage Loans on
deposit in the Certificate Account as provided by Section 3.05(a).
SECTION 6.04 Depositor, Master Servicer and Special Servicer Not to
Resign.
Subject to the provisions of Section 6.02, none of the Depositor, the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall resign from its respective
obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except upon determination that its
duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law. Any such
determination permitting the resignation of the Depositor, the Master Servicer
or the Special Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such
effect delivered to the Trustee. No such resignation by the Master Servicer or
the Special Servicer shall become effective until the Trustee or a successor
servicer shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, in accordance with
Section 7.02.

the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer hereunder and may, but is not
obligated to, perform, or cause a designee to perform, any defaulted obligation
of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder or exercise the rights
of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder; provided, however,
that neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be relieved of
any of its obligations hereunder by virtue of such performance by the Depositor
or its designee. The Depositor shall not have any responsibility or liability
for any action or failure to act by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer
and is not obligated to supervise the performance of the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer under this Agreement or otherwise.

corporate action in furtherance of the foregoing; or
(ix) the Trustee shall have received written notice from either Rating
Agency that the continuation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer
in such capacity would result in the downgrade, qualification or withdrawal
of any rating then assigned by such Rating Agency to any Class of
Certificates.
(b) If any Event of Default with respect to the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer (in either case for purposes of this Section 7.01(b), the
"Defaulting Party") shall occur and be continuing, then, and in each and every
such case, so long as such Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the
Depositor or the Trustee may, and at the written direction of the Holders of
Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights, the Trustee shall

the Trustee (if the termination is effected by the Depositor), all of the
rights and obligations of the Defaulting Party under this Agreement and in and
to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof (other than any rights of the
Defaulting Party as Certificateholder). From and after the receipt by the
Defaulting Party of such written notice, all authority and power of the
Defaulting Party under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates
(other than as a Holder of any Certificate) or the Mortgage Loans or otherwise,
shall pass to and be vested in
140
the Trustee pursuant to and under this Section, and, without limitation, the
Trustee is hereby author ized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf
of and at the expense of the Defaulting Party, 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

Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each agrees that if it is terminated
pursuant to this Section 7.01(b), it shall promptly (and in any event no later
than ten Business Days subsequent to its receipt of the notice of termination)
provide the Trustee or any other Successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer
with all documents and records requested by it to enable it to assume the
Master Servicer's or Special Servicer's, as the case may be, functions
hereunder, and shall cooperate with the Trustee or any other Successor Master
Servicer or Special Servicer in effecting the termination of the Master
Servicer's or Special Servicer's, as the case may be, responsibilities and
rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer within two
Business Days to the Trustee or any other Successor Master Servicer or Special
Servicer for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time

accrued or owing to it under this Agreement on or prior to the date of such
termination, whether in respect of Advances made by it or otherwise, and it and
its directors, officers, employees and agents shall continue to be entitled to
the benefits of Section 6.03 notwithstanding any such termination).
141
SECTION 7.02 Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.
On and after the time the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer
resigns pursuant to Section 6.04 or receives a notice of termination pursuant
to Section 7.01, the Trustee shall be the successor in all respects to the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, in its capacity as
such 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 the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer, as the case may be, by the terms and provisions hereof,
including, without limitation, the Master Servicer's obligation to make
Delinquency Advances; provided that any failure to perform such duties or
responsibilities caused by the Master Servicer's or the Special Servicer's
failure to provide information or monies required by Section 7.01 shall not be
considered a default by the Trustee hereunder. The Trustee shall not be liable
for any of the representations and warranties of the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer or for any losses incurred by the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.06 hereunder nor shall the Trustee be
required to purchase any Mortgage Loan hereunder. As compen sation therefor,
the Trustee shall be entitled to the applicable Servicing Fees and all funds
relating to the Mortgage Loans which the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer would have been entitled to charge to the Certificate Account or the
Distribution Account if the Master Servicer or the Special 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 Certificates entitled to at least 51% of the Voting Rights so
request in writing to the Trustee or if it is not appropriately rated as a
master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, by each Rating Agency,
promptly appoint any FNMA- or FHLMC-approved mortgage loan servicing
institution that has a net worth of not less than $10,000,000 and is otherwise
acceptable to each Rating Agency (as evidenced by written confirmation
therefrom to the effect that the appointment of such institution would not
result in the downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of its rating then
assigned to any Class of Certificates), as the successor to the Master Servicer
hereunder or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, in the assumption of all
or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master
Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder. No appointment
of a successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may
be, hereunder shall be effective until the assumption of the successor to the
Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, of all the
responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder. Pending appointment of a successor to
the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder, the
Trustee shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with
any such appointment and assumption described herein, the Trustee may make such
arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage
Loans or otherwise as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however,
that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the resigning or
terminated party hereunder. The Depositor, the Trustee and such successor shall
take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to
effectuate any such succession.
142
SECTION 7.03 Notification to Certificateholders.
(a) Upon any resignation of the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer pursuant to Section 6.04, any termination of the Master Servicer or
the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 7.01 or any appointment of a successor
to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02, the
Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders at their
respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register.
(b) Not later than the later of (i) 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 (ii) five days after the Trustee would be
deemed to have notice of the occurrence of such an event in accordance with
Section 8.02(vii), the Trustee shall transmit by mail to the Depositor and all
Certificateholders notice of such occurrence, unless such default shall have
been cured.
SECTION 7.04 Waiver of Events of Default.
The Holders of Certificates representing at least 66 2/3% of the
Voting Rights allocated to the Classes of Certificates affected by any Event of
Default hereunder may waive such Event of Default; provided, however, that an
Event of Default under clause (i) or (ii) of Section 7.01 may be waived only by
all of the Certificateholders of the affected Classes. Upon any such waiver of
an Event of Default and upon the payment to the Trustee of all costs and
expenses incurred by it in connection with such Event of Default, if any, such
Event of Default shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been remedied
for every purpose hereunder. 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 7.04, Certificates registered in the name of the Depositor or any
Affiliate of the Depositor shall be entitled to the same Voting Rights with
respect to the matters described above as they would if any other Person held
such Certificates.
143
ARTICLE VIII
CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE AND FISCAL AGENT
SECTION 8.01 Duties of Trustee and Fiscal Agent.
(a) The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and
after the curing or waiver of all Events of Default which may have occurred,
undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set
forth in this Agreement. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the
Trustee (other than as successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer) shall
exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and use
the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent man would
exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs. Any
permissive right of the Trustee contained in this Agreement shall not be
construed as a duty.
(b) The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates,
statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished
to the Trustee which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement (other than the Mortgage Files, the review of which
is specifically governed by the terms of Article II), shall examine them to
deter mine whether they conform to the requirements of this Agreement to the
extent specified herein. If any such instrument is found not to conform to the
requirements of this Agreement in a material manner, the Trustee shall request
the party supplying such instrument to provide an instrument that conforms to
the requirements of this Agreement. Neither the Trustee nor the Fiscal Agent
shall be responsible for the accuracy or content of any resolution,
certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument
furnished by the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or any
other person and accepted by the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent in good faith,
pursuant to this Agreement.
(c) No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the
Trustee or the Fiscal Agent from liability for its own negligent action, its
own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct; provided, however,
that:
(i) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, and after the
curing of all such Events of Default which may have occurred, the
duties and obligations of the Trustee and the Fiscal Agent shall be
determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, the
Trustee and the Fiscal Agent shall not be liable except for the
performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set
forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be
read into this Agreement against the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent and,
in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee or the Fiscal
Agent, the Trustee and the Fiscal Agent may conclusively rely, as to

Trustee or the Fiscal Agent and conforming to the requirements of this
Agreement;

(i) The Trustee and the Fiscal Agent may rely upon and shall be
protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution,
Officer's Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other
certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request,
consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document reasonably
believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or pre sented by
the proper party or parties;
(ii) The Trustee and the Fiscal Agent may consult with counsel
and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall
be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any
action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and
in accordance therewith;
(iii) Neither the Trustee nor the Fiscal Agent (in their
respective capacities as such) shall be under any obligation to
exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement or
to make any investigation of matters arising hereunder or to
institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation
hereto at the request, order or direction of any of the
Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement,
unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee or
the Fiscal Agent, as applicable, reasonable security or indemnity
against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred
therein or thereby; neither the Trustee nor the Fiscal Agent shall be
required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any
financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder,
or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have
reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or
adequate indemnity against such risk or
145
liability is not reasonably assured to it; nothing contained
herein shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the obligation, upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default which has not been cured, to
exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement,
and to use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a
prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the
conduct of his own affairs;
(iv) Neither the Trustee nor the Fiscal Agent shall be personally
liable for any action reasonably taken, suffered or omitted by it in
good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the
discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement;

after the curing of all Events of Default which may have occurred, the
Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or
matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument,
opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or
other paper or document, unless requested in writing to do so by
Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 50% of the Voting Rights;
provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the
Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by
it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the
Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security
afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee may require
reasonable indemnity against such expense or liability as a condition
to taking any such action;
(vi) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers
hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or
through agents, provided that the Trustee shall not be relieved from
such duties, and the Trustee shall remain responsible for all acts and
omissions of any such agent;
(vii) For all purposes under this Agreement, the Trustee shall
not be deemed to have notice of any Event of Default unless a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or
unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a default is
received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office, and such notice
references the Certificates or this Agreement; and
(viii) Neither the Trustee nor the Fiscal Agent shall be
responsible for any act or omission of the Master Servicer or the
Special Servicer (unless the Trustee is acting as Master Servicer or
the Special Servicer, as the case may be) or of the Depositor or any
other person.

accountable for the use or application by the Depositor of any of the
Certificates issued to it or of the proceeds of such Certificates, or for the
use or applica tion of any funds paid to the Depositor in respect of the
assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Trust Fund, or any funds deposited in
or withdrawn from the Certificate Account or any other account by or on behalf
of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer. Neither the
Trustee nor the Fiscal Agent shall be responsible for the accuracy or content
of any resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or
other instrument furnished by the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special
Servicer, and accepted by the Trustee or the Fiscal Agent in good faith,
pursuant to this Agreement.
147

investigation, counsel fees, damages, judgments and amounts paid in settlement)
arising out of, or incurred in connection with, any act or omission of the

Certificateholders. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Depositor
shall promptly appoint a successor trustee or fiscal agent acceptable to the
Master Servicer by written instrument, in duplicate, which instrument shall be

Special Servicer and the Certificateholders by the Depositor.

Agreement, the predecessor Trustee or the Fiscal Agent shall be entitled to the
payment of compensation and reimbursement for services rendered and expenses
incurred (including without limitation unreimbursed Advances and interest
thereon made thereby) accrued or payable up to and including the effective date
of such termination, at such times and from such sources as if the predecessor
Trustee or Fiscal Agent had not resigned or been removed. Any resignation or
removal of the Trustee shall be deemed to be a simultaneous removal of the
Fiscal Agent hereunder.
SECTION 8.08 Successor Trustee and Fiscal Agent .
(a) Any successor trustee or fiscal agent appointed as provided in
Section 8.07 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and to its predecessor trustee or fiscal

effective and such successor trustee or fiscal agent, without any further act,
deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers,
duties and obligations of its predecessor here under, with the like effect as
if originally named as trustee herein. The predecessor trustee or fiscal agent
shall deliver to the successor trustee or fiscal agent all Mortgage Files and
related documents and statements held by it hereunder (other than any Mortgage
Files at the time held on its behalf by a Custodian, which Custodian shall
become the agent of the successor trustee), and the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer and the predecessor trustee or fiscal agent
shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may
reasonably be required to more fully and certainly vest and confirm in the
successor trustee or fiscal agent all such rights, powers, duties and
obligations, and to enable the successor trustee or fiscal agent to perform its

Agent, shall be the successor of the Trustee or Fiscal Agent hereunder,
provided such entity shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06,
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.
SECTION 8.10 Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, for the
purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part
of the Trust Fund or property securing the same may at the time be located, the
Master Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall
execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by
the Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the Trustee, or
separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Fund,
and to vest in such Person or Per sons, in such capacity, such title to the
Trust Fund, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this
Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Master
Servicer and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Master
Servicer shall not have joined in such appointment within fifteen days after
the receipt by it of a request to do so, or in case an Event of Default in
respect of the Master Servicer shall have occurred and be continuing, the
Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or
separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility
as a successor trustee under Section 8.06 hereunder and no notice to Holders of
Certificates of the appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall
be required under Section 8.08 hereof.

pursuant to this Section 8.10 all rights, powers, duties and obligations
conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and

jointly, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which
any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or
as successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder), the
Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in
which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding
of title to the Trust Fund or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction)
shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee or co-trustee at the
direction of the Trustee.
151
(c) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be
deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and
co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument
appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and
the conditions of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon
its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or
property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the
Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the
provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this
Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording
protection to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the
Trustee.
(d) Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute
the Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to
the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of
this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or
co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of
its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be
exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the
appointment of a new or successor trustee.
(e) The appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee under this
Section 8.10 shall not relieve the Trustee of its duties and responsibilities
hereunder.
SECTION 8.11 Appointment of Custodians.
The Trustee may, with the consent of the Master Servicer, appoint one
or more Custodians to hold all or a portion of the Mortgage Files as agent for
the Trustee. Each Custodian shall be a depository institution subject to
supervision by federal or state authority, shall itself (or together with an
affiliate guaranteeing its financial performance) have a combined capital and
surplus of at least $15,000,000, shall be qualified to do business in the
jurisdiction in which it holds any Mortgage File and shall not be the
Depositor, a Mortgage Loan Seller or any Affiliate of the Depositor or a
Mortgage Loan Seller. Each Custodian shall be subject to the same obligations
and standard of care as would be imposed on the Trustee hereunder in connection
with the retention of Mortgage Files directly by the Trustee. The appointment
of one or more Custodians shall not relieve the Trustee from any of its
obligations hereunder, and the Trustee shall remain responsible for all acts
and omissions of any Custodian.
SECTION 8.12 Access to Certain Information.
(a) On or prior to the date of the first sale of any Non-Registered
Certificate to an Independent third party, the Depositor shall provide to the
Trustee ten copies of any private placement memorandum or other disclosure
document used by the Depositor or its Affiliate in connection with the offer
and sale of the Class of Certificates to which such Non-Registered Certificate
belongs. In addition, if any such private placement memorandum or disclosure
document is revised, amended or supplemented at any time following the delivery
thereof to the Trustee, the Depositor promptly shall inform the Trustee of such
event and shall deliver to the Trustee ten copies
152
of the private placement memorandum or disclosure document, as revised, amended
or supplemented. The Trustee shall maintain at its offices primarily
responsible for administering the Trust Fund (or at the Primary Servicing
Office of the Master Servicer) and shall, upon reasonable advance notice, make
available during normal business hours for review by any Holder of a
Certificate, originals or copies of the following items: (i) in the case of a
Holder or prospective transferee of a Non-Registered Certificate, any private
placement memorandum or other disclosure document relating to the Class of

Master Servicer or Special Servicer and delivered to the Trustee in respect of

or the Special Servicer and delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section

respect to any Mortgaged Property securing a defaulted Mortgage Loan as to
which the environmental testing contemplated by Section 3.09(c) revealed that

sentence thereof was not satisfied (but only for so long as such Mortgaged
Property or the related Mortgage Loan are part of the Trust Fund), (H) the
respective Mortgage Files, including, without limitation, any and all
modifications, waivers and amendments of the terms of a Mortgage Loan entered
into by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer and delivered to the
Trustee pursuant to Section 3.20 (but only for so long as the affected Mortgage
Loan is part of the Trust Fund) and (I) any and all Officer's Certificates and
other evidence delivered to or retained by the Trustee to support the Master
Servicer's, Special Servicer's, Trustee's or Fiscal Agent's determination that
any Advance was or, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. Copies of any
and all of the foregoing items will be available from the Trustee upon request;
however, the Trustee shall be permitted to require from the requesting
Certificateholder payment of a sum sufficient to cover the reasonable costs and
expenses of providing such copies.
In connection with providing access to or copies of the items
described in the preceding paragraph, the Trustee may require (a) in the case
of Certificate Owners, a written confirmation executed by the requesting
Person, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, generally to the effect
that such Person is a beneficial holder of Certificates, is requesting the
information solely for use in evaluating such Person's investment in the
Certificates and will otherwise keep such information confidential and (b) in
the case of a prospective purchaser, a written confirmation executed by the
requesting Person, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, generally to
the effect that such Person is a prospective purchaser of a Certificate or an
interest therein, is requesting the information solely for use in evaluating a
possible investment in Certificates and will otherwise keep such information
confidential. All Certificateholders, by the
153
acceptance of their Certificates, shall be deemed to have agreed to keep such
information confidential. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Section 8.12(a), the Trustee shall have no responsibility for the accuracy,
completeness or sufficiency for any purpose of any information so made
available or furnished by it pursuant to this Section 8.12(a).
(b) The Trustee shall provide or cause to be provided to the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, and the Special Servicer, and to the Office of

Mortgage Loans.
157
Subject to Section 9.02, the Trust Fund and the respective obligations
and responsibilities under this Agreement of the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Fiscal Agent and the Trustee (other than
the obligations of the Trustee to provide for and make payments to
Certificateholders as hereafter set forth) shall terminate upon payment (or
provision for payment) to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by or on
behalf of the Trustee and required hereunder to be so paid on the Distribution
Date following the earlier to occur of (i) the purchase by the Master Servicer
or the Depositor of all Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC
I at a price (to be determined as of the end of the Collection Period for the
anticipated Final Distribution Date) equal to (A) the aggregate Purchase Price
of all the Mortgage Loans included in REMIC I, plus (B) the appraised value of
each REO Property, if any, included in REMIC I (such appraisal to be conducted
by an Independent MAI-designated appraiser selected by the Master Servicer and
approved by the Trustee), minus (C) solely in the case where the Master
Servicer is effecting such purchase, the aggregate amount of unreimbursed
Advances, together with any Advance Interest accrued and payable to the Master
Servicer in respect of such Advances and any unpaid Servicing Fees, remaining
outstanding (which items shall be deemed to have been paid or reimbursed to the
Master Servicer in connection with such purchase), and (ii) the final payment
or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage
Loan or REO Property remaining in REMIC I; provided, however, that in no event
shall the trust created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from
the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the
late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James's, living on the
date hereof.
The Master Servicer or the Depositor may, at its option, elect to
purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust
Fund as contemplated by clause (i) of the preceding paragraph by giving written
notice to the other parties hereto no later than 60 days prior to the
anticipated date of purchase; provided, however, that the Master Servicer or
the Depositor may so elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO
Property remaining in REMIC I only if the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of
the Mortgage Loans and any REO Loans remaining in the Trust Fund at the time of
such election is less than 1% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance
of the Mortgage Loans set forth in the Preliminary Statement. In the event that
the Master Servicer or the Depositor purchases of all of the Mortgage Loans and
each REO Property remaining in REMIC I in accordance with the preceding
sentence, the Master Servicer or the Depositor, as applicable, shall deposit in
the Distribution Account not later than the Master Servicer Remittance Date
relating to the Distribution Date on which the final distribution on the
Certificates is to occur, an amount in immediately available funds equal to the
above-described purchase price (exclusive of any portion thereof would be
payable to any Person other than the Certificateholders pursuant to Section
3.05(a) if on deposit in the Certificate Account, which portion shall be
deposited in the Certificate Account). In addition, the Master Servicer shall
transfer to the Distribution Account all amounts required to be transferred
thereto on such Master Servicer Remittance Date from the Certificate Account
pursuant to the first paragraph of Section 3.04(b), together with any other
amounts on deposit in the Certificate Account that would otherwise be held for
future distribution. Upon confirmation that such final deposits have been made,
the Trustee shall release or cause to be released to the Master Servicer or the
Depositor, as applicable, the Mortgage
168
Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans and shall execute all assignments,
endorsements and other instruments furnished to it by the Master Servicer or
the Depositor, as applicable, as shall be necessary to effectuate transfer of
the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties remaining in REMIC I. All Credit Files
for the remaining Mortgage Loans and REO Properties shall be delivered to the
purchasing entity.
Notice of any termination shall be given promptly by the Trustee by
letter to Certificateholders and, if not previously notified pursuant to the
preceding paragraph, to the other parties hereto mailed (a) in the event such
notice is given in connection with the Master Servicer's or the Depositor's
purchase of all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC
I, not earlier than the 15th day and not later than the 25th day of the month
next preceding the month of the final distribution on the Certificates or (b)
otherwise during the month of such final distribution on or before the
Determination Date in such month, in each case specifying (i) the Distribution
Date upon which the Trust Fund will terminate and final payment of the
Certificates will be made, (ii) the amount of any such final payment and (iii)
that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not
applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the
Certificates at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location
therein designated.
Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates by the
Certificateholders on the final Distribution Date, the Trustee shall distribute
to each Certificateholder so presenting and surrendering its Certificates such
Certificateholder's Percentage Interest of that portion of the amounts then on
deposit in the Distribution Account that are allocable to payments on the Class
of Certificates so presented and surrendered. Amounts on deposit in the
Distribution Account as of the final Distribution Date (exclusive of any
portion of such amounts payable or reimbursable to any Person pursuant to
clauses (ii)-(v) of Section 3.05(b)) shall be allocated for the purposes, in
the amounts and in accordance with the priority set forth in Section 4.01. Any
funds not distributed on such Distribution Date shall be set aside and held
uninvested in trust for the benefit of Certificateholders not presenting and
surrendering their Certificates in the aforesaid manner, and shall be disposed
of in accordance with the last paragraph of Section 4.01(g).
SECTION 9.02 Additional Termination Requirements.
(a) In the event the Master Servicer or the Depositor purchases all of
the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in REMIC I as provided in
Section 9.01, the Trust Fund (and, accordingly, REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC
III) shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional
requirements, unless the Master Servicer or the Depositor, as the case may be,
obtains at its own expense and delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel,
addressed to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Trustee, to the effect
that the failure of the Trust Fund to comply with the requirements of this
Section 9.02 will not result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited
transactions" of REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III as defined in Section 860F of
the Code or cause REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III to fail to qualify as a REMIC
at any time that any Certificates are outstanding:
159
(i) the Trustee shall specify the first day in the 90-day
liquidation period in a statement attached to the final Tax Return for
each of REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC III pursuant to Treasury
regulation Section 1.860F-1 and shall satisfy all requirements of a
qualified liquidation under Section 860F of the Code and any
regulations thereunder;
(ii) during such 90-day liquidation period and at or prior to the
time of making of the final payment on the Certificates, the Trustee
shall sell all of the assets of REMIC I to the Master Servicer or the
Depositor, as applicable, for cash; and
(iii) immediately following the making of the final payment on
the Certificates, the Trustee shall distribute or credit, or cause to
be distributed or credited, to the Holders of the related Class of
Residual Certificates all cash on hand in the related REMIC (other
than cash retained to meet claims), and REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC
III shall terminate at that time.
(b) By their acceptance of Certificates, the Holders thereof hereby
agree to authorize the Trustee to adopt a plan of complete liquidation of REMIC
I, REMIC II and REMIC III prepared by the Master Servicer or the Depositor,

ADDITIONAL REMIC PROVISIONS
SECTION 10.01 REMIC Administration.
(a) The Trustee shall make an election to treat each of REMIC I, REMIC
II and REMIC III as a REMIC under the Code and, if necessary, under applicable
state law. Such election will be made on Form 1066 or other appropriate federal
tax or information return (including Form 8811) or any appropriate state return
for the taxable year ending on the last day of the calendar year in which the
Certificates are issued. The REMIC I Regular Interests are hereby designated as
the "regular interests" (within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(1) of the Code),
and the Class R-I Certificates are hereby designated as the sole class of
"residual interests" (within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(2) of the Code), in
REMIC I. The REMIC II Regular Interests are hereby designated as the "regular
interests" (within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(1) of the Code), and the
Class R-II Certificates are hereby designated as the sole class of "residual
interests" (within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(2) of the Code), in REMIC II.
The REMIC III Regular Certificates are hereby designated as the "regular
interests" (within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(1)) and the Class R-III
Certificates will be the sole class of "residual interests" (within the meaning
of Section 860G(a)(2) of the Code), in REMIC III. The Master Servicer, the
Special Servicer and the Trustee shall not (to the extent within the control of
each) permit the creation of any "interests" (within the
160
meaning of Section 860G of the Code) in REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III other
than the Certificates.
(b) The Closing Date is hereby designated as the "startup day" of each
of REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC III within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of
the Code.
(c) The Trustee, as agent for the tax matters person of each of REMIC
I, REMIC II and REMIC III, shall (i) act on behalf of the REMIC in relation to
any tax matter or controversy involving the Trust Fund and (ii) represent the
Trust Fund in any administrative or judicial proceeding relating to an
examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority with respect thereto.
The legal expenses, including without limitation attorneys' or accountants'
fees, and costs of any such proceeding and any liability resulting therefrom
shall be expenses of the Trust Fund and the Trustee shall be entitled to
reimbursement therefor out of amounts attributable to the Mortgage Loans and
any REO Properties on deposit in the Certificate Account as provided by Section
3.05(a) unless such legal expenses and costs are incurred by reason of the
Trustee's willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence. In the case of each of
REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC III, the Holder of Residual Certificates
representing the largest Percentage Interest in the related Class thereof shall
be designated, in the manner provided under Treasury regulations section
1.860F-4(d) and temporary Treasury regulations section 301.6231(a)(7)-1, as the
tax matters person of such REMIC. By its acceptance thereof, the Holder of
Residual Certificates representing the largest Percentage Interest in each
Class thereof hereby agrees to irrevocably appoint the Trustee as its agent to
perform all of the duties of the tax matters person for the related REMIC
created hereunder.
(d) The Trustee shall prepare or cause to be prepared, sign and file,
in a timely manner, all of the Tax Returns that it determines are required with
respect to each REMIC created hereunder. The expenses of preparing such returns
shall be borne by the Trustee without any right of reimbursement therefor.
(e) The Trustee shall provide (i) to any Transferor of a Residual
Certificate such information as is necessary for the application of any tax
relating to the transfer of such Residual Certificate to any Person who is not
a Permitted Transferee, (ii) to the Certificateholders such information or
reports as are required by the Code or the REMIC Provisions including reports
relating to interest, original issue discount and market discount or premium
(using the Prepayment Assumption) and (iii) to the Internal Revenue Service the
name, title, address and telephone number of the person who will serve as the
representative of each of REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC III.
(f) The Trustee shall take such actions and shall cause each REMIC
created hereunder to take such actions as are reasonably within the Trustee's
control and the scope of its duties more specifically set forth herein as shall
be necessary to maintain the status thereof as a REMIC under the REMIC
Provisions. The Trustee shall not knowingly or intentionally take any action,
cause REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III to take any action or fail to take (or
fail to cause to be taken) any action reasonably within its control and the
scope of duties more specifically set forth herein, that, under the REMIC
Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (i)
161
endanger the status of REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III as a REMIC or (ii) result
in the imposition of a tax upon REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III (including but
not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Section
860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in
Section 860G(d) of the Code) (either such event, an "Adverse REMIC Event")
unless the Trustee receives an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party
seeking to take such action or, if such party fails to pay such expense, and
the Trustee determines that taking such action is in the best interest of REMIC
I, REMIC II or REMIC III and the Certificateholders, at the expense of the
Trust Fund, but in no event at the expense of the Trustee) to the effect that
the contemplated action will not, with respect to any REMIC created hereunder,
result in an Adverse REMIC Event. In addition, prior to taking any action with
respect to the Trust Fund or its assets, or causing the Trust Fund to take any
action, which is not expressly permitted under the terms of this Agreement,
each of the parties hereto will consult with the Trustee or its designee, in
writing, with respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event
to occur with respect to REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III, and such party shall
not take any such action, or cause REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III to take any
such action, as to which the Trustee has advised it in writing that an Adverse
REMIC Event could occur. The Trustee may consult with counsel to make such
written advice, and the cost of same shall be borne by the party seeking to
take the action not expressly permitted by this Agreement. At all times as may
be required by the Code, the Trustee will to the extent within its control and
the scope of its duties as specifically set forth herein, maintain
substantially all of the assets of the Trust Fund as "qualified mortgages" as
defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code and "permitted investments" as
defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.
(g) In the event that any tax is imposed on "prohibited transactions"
of REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code,
on "net income from foreclosure property" of REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III as
defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, on any contributions to REMIC I, REMIC
II or REMIC III after the Startup Day therefor pursuant to Section 860G(d) of
the Code, or any other tax imposed by the Code or any applicable provisions of
state or local laws, such tax shall be charged (i) to the Trustee, if such tax
arises out of or results from a breach by the Trustee of any of its obligations
under this Agreement, (ii) to any other party hereto, if such tax arises out of
or results from a breach by such party of any of its obligations under this
Agreement, or (iii) otherwise (including, without limitation, in the case of
any tax permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 3.17(a)) against amounts
on deposit in the Distribution Account as provided by Section 3.05(b).
(h) The Trustee shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books
and records with respect to each of REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC III on a
calendar year and on an accrual basis or as otherwise may be required by the
REMIC Provisions.
(i) Following the Startup Day, the Trustee shall not accept any
contributions of assets to REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III unless the Trustee
shall have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking
to make such contribution) to the effect that the inclusion of such assets in
such REMIC will not cause such REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC
162
at any time that any Certificates are outstanding or subject such REMIC to any
tax under the REMIC Provisions or other applicable provisions of federal, state
and local law or ordinances.
(j) None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Fiscal
Agent or the Trustee shall enter into any arrangement by which REMIC I, REMIC
II or REMIC III will receive a fee or other compensation for services nor (to
the extent within its control) permit REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III to receive
any income from assets other than "qualified mortgages" as defined in Section
860G(a)(3) of the Code or "permitted investments" as defined in Section
860G(a)(5) of the Code.
(k) Within 30 days after the Closing Date, the Trustee shall prepare
and file with the Internal Revenue Service Form 8811, "Information Return for
Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduits (REMIC) and Issuers of Collateralized
Debt Obligations" for each of REMIC I, REMIC II and REMIC III.
(l) None of the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Master Servicer, or the
Special Servicer shall sell, dispose of or substitute for any of the Mortgage
Loans (except in connection with (i) the default, imminent default or
foreclosure of a Mortgage Loan, including but not limited to, the acquisition
or sale of a Mortgaged Property acquired by deed in lieu of foreclosure, (ii)
the bankruptcy of REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III, (iii) the termination of the
Trust Fund pursuant to Article IX of this Agreement or (iv) a purchase of
Mortgage Loans pursuant to or as contemplated by Section 2.03 or 3.18 of this
Agreement) or acquire any assets for the Trust Fund or sell or dispose of any
investments in the Certificate Account, the Distribution Account, or the REO
Account for gain, or accept any contributions to the Trust Fund after the
Closing Date, unless it has received an Opinion of Counsel that such sale,
disposition, substitution or acquisition will not (a) affect adversely the
status of REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III as a REMIC or (b) cause REMIC I, REMIC
II or REMIC III to be subject to a tax on "prohibited transactions" or
"contributions" pursuant to the REMIC Provisions.
SECTION 10.02 Depositor, Master Servicer, Special Servicer, Fiscal
Agent and Trustee to Cooperate.
(a) The Depositor shall provide or cause to be provided to the
Trustee, within ten days after the Closing Date, all information or data that
the Trustee reasonably determines to be relevant for tax purposes as to the
valuations and issue prices of the Certificates, including, without limitation,
the price, yield, prepayment assumption and projected cash flow of the
Certificates.
(b) The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Fiscal Agent and
the Depositor shall each furnish such reports, certifications and information,
and access to such books and records maintained thereby, as may relate to the
Certificates or the Trust Fund and as shall be reasonably requested by the
Trustee in order to enable it to perform its duties hereunder.

pursuant to the REMIC Provisions or cause REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III to
fail to qualify as a REMIC.
(d) Promptly after the execution of any such amendment, the Trustee
shall furnish a statement describing the amendment to each Certificateholder.
(e) It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders

by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such
Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate

including any amendment necessary to maintain the status of designated portions
of the Trust Fund as a REMIC, without the consent of the Holders of any of the
Certificates.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been

shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any

The registered Holder hereof, by its acceptance hereof,
agrees that it will look solely to the Trust Fund (to the extent of its rights
therein) for distributions hereunder.

of, or with assets of a Plan (or, alternatively, for so long as the Class C
Certificates constitute Book-Entry Certificates, that the purchase and holding
of such Certificate or interest therein is exempt from the prohibited
transaction provisions of Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code
under Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60). The Trustee may require
that any prospective transferee of a Class C Certificate that is held as a
Definitive Certificate, provide such certifications as the Trustee may deem
desirable or necessary in order to establish that such transferee or the Person
in whose name such registration is requested is not a Plan or a Person who is
directly or indirectly purchasing such Certificate on behalf of, as named
fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with assets of a Plan.
No service charge will be imposed for any registration of
transfer or exchange of Class C Certificates, but the Trustee or the
Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax
or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
transfer or exchange of Class C Certificates.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as this
Certificate is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in such other name as is
requested by an authorized representative of DTC, transfers of interests in
this Certificate shall be made through the book-entry facilities of DTC.
Prior to due presentment of this Certificate for registration
of transfer, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the
Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Certificate Registrar and any agents of any of
them may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the
owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Certificate Registrar
or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

The Trust Fund and the obligations created by the Agreement
shall terminate upon distribution (or provision for distribution) to the
Certificateholders of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee and
required to be distributed to them pursuant to the Agreement following the
earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with
respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan or REO Property remaining in the
Trust Fund, and (ii) the purchase by the Master Servicer or the Depositor at a
price determined as provided in the Agreement of all Mortgage Loans and any REO
Properties remaining in the Trust Fund. The Agreement permits, but does not
require, the Depositor or the Master Servicer to purchase from the Trust Fund
all Mortgage Loans and any REO Properties remaining therein. The exercise of
such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such
right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Pool at the time of purchase being less than 1% of the aggregate
Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Pool specified on the face
hereof.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein
provided, the amendment thereof, and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the
Trustee thereunder and the rights of the Certificateholders thereunder, at any
time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the
Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least
662/3% of the Voting Rights allocated to the affected Classes. Any such consent
by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such
Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate
issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof
whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The
Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain circumstances,
including any amendment necessary to maintain the status of designated portions
of the Trust Fund as a REMIC, without the consent of the Holders of any of the
Certificates.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been
executed by the Certificate Registrar, by manual signature, this Certificate
shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any
purpose.
The registered Holder hereof, by its acceptance hereof,
agrees that it will look solely to the Trust Fund (to the extent of its rights
therein) for distributions hereunder.
This Certificate shall be construed in accordance with the
internal laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be
performed in said State, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the Holder
hereof shall be determined in accordance with such laws.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trustee has caused this Certificate

interest therein is exempt from the prohibited transaction provisions of
Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code under Prohibited Transaction
Class Exemption 95-60; or (y) in the case of a Class E Certificate that is held
as a Definitive Certificate, the prospective transferee provides the Trustee,
the Master Servicer and the Depositor with a certification of facts and an
Opinion of Counsel which establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee, the
Master Servicer and the Depositor that such transfer will not result in a
violation of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or cause the
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee to be deemed a fiduciary
of such Plan or result in the imposition of an excise tax under Section 4975 of
the Code. Each Person who acquires any Class E Certificate or interest therein
(unless it shall have delivered the certification of facts and Opinion of
Counsel referred to in the preceding sentence) shall be deemed to have
certified that it is neither a Plan nor any Person who is directly or
indirectly purchasing such Class E Certificate or interest therein on behalf
of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with assets of a Plan (or,
alternatively, for so long as the Class E Certificates constitute Book-Entry
Certificates, that the purchase and holding of such Certificate or interest
therein is exempt from the prohibited transaction provisions of Section 406 of
ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code under Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption
95-60). The Trustee may require that any prospective transferee of a Class E

establish that such transferee or the Person in whose name such registration is
requested is not a Plan or a Person who is directly or indirectly purchasing
such Certificate on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with
assets of a Plan.
No service charge will be imposed for any registration of
transfer or exchange of Class E Certificates, but the Trustee or the
Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax
or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
transfer or exchange of Class E Certificates.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as this
Certificate is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in such other name as is
requested by an authorized representative of DTC, transfers of interests in
this Certificate shall be made through the book-entry facilities of DTC.
Prior to due presentment of this Certificate for registration
of transfer, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, the Trustee,
the Fiscal Agent, the Certificate Registrar and any agents of any of them may
treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the
-6-
owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Certificate Registrar
or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
The Trust Fund and the obligations created by the Agreement
shall terminate upon distribution (or provision for distribution) to the
Certificateholders of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee and
required to be distributed to them pursuant to the Agreement following the
earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with
respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan or REO Property remaining in the
Trust Fund, and (ii) the purchase by the Master Servicer or the Depositor at a
price determined as provided in the Agreement of all Mortgage Loans and any REO
Properties remaining in the Trust Fund. The Agreement permits, but does not
require, the Depositor or the Master Servicer to purchase from the Trust Fund
all Mortgage Loans and any REO Properties remaining therein. The exercise of
such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such
right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Pool at the time of purchase being less than 1% of the aggregate
Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Pool specified on the face
hereof.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein
provided, the amendment thereof, and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the
Trustee thereunder and the rights of the Certificateholders thereunder, at any
time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the
Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least
662/3% of the Voting Rights allocated to the affected Classes. Any such consent
by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such
Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate
issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof
whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The
Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain circumstances,
including any amendment necessary to maintain the status of designated portions
of the Trust Fund as a REMIC, without the consent of the Holders of any of the
Certificates.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been
executed by the Certificate Registrar, by manual signature, this Certificate
shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any
purpose.
The registered Holder hereof, by its acceptance hereof,
agrees that it will look solely to the Trust Fund (to the extent of its rights
therein) for distributions hereunder.
This Certificate shall be construed in accordance with the
internal laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be
performed in said State, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the Holder
hereof shall be determined in accordance with such laws.

The Class G Certificates are issuable in fully registered
form only without coupons in minimum denominations specified in the Agreement.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, Class G Certificates are exchangeable for new Class G Certifi xxxxx in
authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as
requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable
in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration
of transfer at the offices of the Certificate Registrar, duly endorsed by, or
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the
Certificate Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly
authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Class G Certificates in
authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest will
be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
No transfer of any Class G Certificate shall be made unless
that transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act, and effective registration or qualification under applicable
state securities laws, or is made in a transaction which does not require such
registration or qualification. If such a transfer of any Class G Certificate
(other than a transfer thereof by the Depositor or any Affiliate of the
Depositor) is to be made without registration under the Securities Act, then
the Trustee shall require, in order to assure compliance with such laws,
receipt by it and the Depositor of: (i) if such transfer is purportedly being
made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the Securities Act, a certificate from
the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially in the
form attached as Exhibit B-1 to the Agreement and a certificate from such
Certificateholder's prospective transferee substantially in the form attached
as Exhibit B-2 to the Agreement; and (ii) in all other cases, (A) a certificate
from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially in
the form attached to the Agreement as Exhibit B-1 and a certificate from such
Certificateholder's prospective transferee substantially in the form attached
to the Agreement as Exhibit B-3, and (B) unless the Depositor directs
otherwise, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee and the Depositor
to the effect that such transfer may be made without such registration (which
Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund or of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the
Certificate Registrar in their respective capacities as such). None of the
Depositor, the Trustee or the Certificate
-6-
Registrar is obligated to register or qualify the Class G Certificates under
the Securities Act or any other securities law or to take any action not
otherwise required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of any Class G
Certificate without registration or qualification. Any Class G
Certificateholder desiring to effect such a transfer shall, and by the
acceptance of its Class G Certificate agrees to, indemnify the Depositor, the
Trustee and the Certificate Registrar against any liability that may result if
the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal
and state laws.
No transfer of a Class G Certificate or any interest therein
shall be made to (A) any employee benefit plan or other retirement arrangement,
including individual retirement accounts and annuities, Xxxxx plans and
collective investment funds and separate accounts in which such plans, accounts
or arrangements are invested, that is subject to ERISA or the Code (each, a
"Plan") or (B) any Person who is directly or indirectly purchasing the Class G
Certificate or interest therein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee
of, or with assets of a Plan, unless the prospective transferee provides the
Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Depositor with a certification of facts
and an Opinion of Counsel which establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee,
the Master Servicer and the Depositor that such transfer will not result in a
violation of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or cause the
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee to be deemed a fiduciary
of such Plan or result in the imposition of an excise tax under Section 4975 of
the Code. Each Person who acquires any Class G Certificate or interest therein
without delivery of the certification of facts and Opinion of Counsel referred
to in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to have certified that it is
neither a Plan nor any Person who is directly or indirectly purchasing such
Class G Certificate or interest therein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as
trustee of, or with assets of a Plan. The Trustee may require that any
prospective transferee of a Class G Certificate that is held as a Definitive
Certificate, provide such certifications as the Trustee may deem desirable or
necessary in order to establish that such transferee or the Person in whose
name such registration is requested is not a Plan or a Person who is directly
or indirectly purchasing such Certificate on behalf of, as named fiduciary of,
as trustee of, or with assets of a Plan.
No service charge will be imposed for any registration of
transfer or exchange of Class G Certificates, but the Trustee or the
Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax
or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
transfer or exchange of Class G Certificates.
Prior to due presentment of this Certificate for registration
of transfer, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the
Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Certificate Registrar and any agents of any of
them may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the
owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the Special Servicer,
-7-
the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Certificate Registrar or any such agent
shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
The Trust Fund and the obligations created by the Agreement
shall terminate upon distribution (or provision for distribution) to the
Certificateholders of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee and
required to be distributed to them pursuant to the Agreement following the
earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with
respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan or REO Property remaining in the
Trust Fund, and (ii) the purchase by the Master Servicer or the Depositor at a
price determined as provided in the Agreement of all Mortgage Loans and any REO
Properties remaining in the Trust Fund. The Agreement permits, but does not
require, the Depositor or the Master Servicer to purchase from the Trust Fund
all Mortgage Loans and any REO Properties remaining therein. The exercise of
such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such
right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Pool at the time of purchase being less than 1% of the aggregate
Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Pool specified on the face
hereof.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein
provided, the amendment thereof, and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the
Trustee thereunder and the rights of the Certificateholders thereunder, at any
time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the
Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least
662/3% of the Voting Rights allocated to the affected Classes. Any such consent
by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such
Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate
issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof
whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The
Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain circumstances,
including any amendment necessary to maintain the status of designated portions
of the Trust Fund as a REMIC, without the consent of the Holders of any of the
Certificates.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been
executed by the Certificate Registrar, by manual signature, this Certificate
shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any
purpose.
The registered Holder hereof, by its acceptance hereof,
agrees that it will look solely to the Trust Fund (to the extent of its rights
therein) for distributions hereunder.
This Certificate shall be construed in accordance with the
internal laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be
performed in said State, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the Holder
hereof shall be determined in accordance with such laws.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trustee has caused this Certificate
to be duly executed.

price determined as provided in the Agreement of all Mortgage Loans and any REO

Holder is bound.

collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more
specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement, withdrawals from the Certificate Account and Distribution Account
may be made from time to time for purposes other than, and, in certain cases,
prior to, distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including the

the Mortgage Loans and the payment of interest on such advances and expenses.
The Class R-I Certificates are issuable in fully registered
form only without coupons in minimum denominations representing Percentage
Interests specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject
to certain limitations therein set forth, Class R-I Certificates are
exchangeable for new Class R-I Certificates in authorized denominations

limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable

-4-
for registration of transfer at the offices of the Certificate Registrar, duly
endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form
satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof
or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Class
R-I Certificates in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate
Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
No transfer of any Class R-I Certificate shall be made unless
that transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act, and effective registration or qualification under applicable
state securities laws, or is made in a transaction which does not require such
registration or qualification. If such a transfer of any Class R-I Certificate
(other than a transfer thereof by the Depositor or any Affiliate of the
Depositor) is to be made without registration under the Securities Act, then
the Trustee shall require, in order to assure compliance with such laws,
receipt by it and the Depositor of: (i) if such transfer is purportedly being
made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the Securities Act, a certificate from
the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially in the
form attached as Exhibit B-1 to the Agreement and a certificate from such
Certificateholder's prospective transferee substantially in the form attached
as Exhibit B-2 to the Agreement; and (ii) in all other cases, (A) a certificate
from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer substantially in
the form attached to the Agreement as Exhibit B-1 and a certificate from such
Certificateholder's prospective transferee substantially in the form attached
to the Agreement as Exhibit B-3, and (B) unless the Depositor directs
otherwise, an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Trustee and the Depositor

Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund or of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the
Certificate Registrar in their respective capacities as such). None of the
Depositor, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar is obligated to register or
qualify the Class R-I Certificates under the Securities Act or any other
securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under the Agreement
to permit the transfer of any Class R-I Certificate without registration or
qualification. Any Class R-I Certificateholder desiring to effect such a
transfer shall, and by the acceptance of its Class R-I Certificate agrees to,
indemnify the Depositor, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar against any
liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in
accordance with such federal and state laws.
No transfer of a Class R-I Certificate or any interest
therein shall be made to (A) any employee benefit plan or other retirement
arrangement, including individual retirement accounts and annuities, Xxxxx
plans and collective investment funds and separate accounts in which such
plans, accounts or arrangements are invested, that is subject to ERISA or the
Code (each, a "Plan") or (B) any Person who is directly or indirectly
purchasing the Class R-I Certificate or interest therein on behalf of, as named
fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with assets of a Plan, unless the prospective
transferee provides the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Depositor with a
certification of facts
-5-
and an Opinion of Counsel which establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee,
the Master Servicer and the Depositor that such transfer will not result in a
violation of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or cause the
Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee to be deemed a fiduciary
of such Plan or result in the imposition of an excise tax under Section 4975 of
the Code. Each Person who acquires any Class R-I Certificate or interest
therein (unless it shall have delivered the certification of facts and Opinion
of Counsel referred to in the preceding sentence) shall be deemed to have
certified that it is neither a Plan nor any Person who is directly or
indirectly purchasing such Class R-I Certificate or interest therein on behalf
of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with assets of a Plan. The Trustee
may require that any prospective transferee of a Class R-I Certificate that is
held as a Definitive Certificate, provide such certifications as the Trustee
may deem desirable or necessary in order to establish that such transferee or
the Person in whose name such registration is requested is not a Plan or a
Person who is directly or indirectly purchasing such Certificate on behalf of,
as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with assets of a Plan.
Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in
this Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such
Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the provisions of Section
5.02(d) of the Agreement and, if any purported Transferee shall become a Holder
of this Certificate in violation of the provisions of such Section 5.02(d), to
have irrevocably authorized the Trustee under clause (ii)(A) of such Section
5.02(d) to deliver payments to a Person other than such Person and to have
irrevocably authorized the Trustee under clause (ii)(B) of such Section 5.02(d)
to negotiate the terms of any mandatory sale and to execute all instruments of
Transfer and to do all other things necessary in connection with any such sale.
Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in this Certificate
must be a Permitted Transferee and a United States Person and shall promptly
notify the Trustee of any change or impending change in its status as a
Permitted Transferee or United States Person. In connection with any proposed
Transfer of any Ownership Interest in this Certificate, the Trustee shall
require delivery to it, and shall not register the Transfer of this Certificate
until its receipt of, an affidavit and agreement substantially in the form
attached as Exhibit C-1 to the Agreement (a "Transfer Affidavit and Agreement")
from the proposed Transferee, in form and substance satisfactory to the
Trustee, representing and warranting, among other things, that such Transferee
is a Permitted Transferee and a United States Person, that it is not acquiring
its Ownership Interest in this Certificate as a nominee, trustee or agent for
any Person that is not a Permitted Transferee or is not a United States Person,
that for so long as it retains its Ownership Interest in this Certificate, it
will endeavor to remain a Permitted Transferee and a United States Person, and
that it has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the Agreement and
agrees to be bound by them. Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transfer
Affidavit and Agreement by a proposed Transferee, if the Trustee has actual
knowledge that the proposed Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee or is not
a United States Person, the Trustee shall not register the Transfer of an
Ownership Interest in this Certificate to such proposed Transferee.
-6-
Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in
this Certificate shall agree (x) to require a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement
from any prospective Transferee to whom such Person attempts to transfer its
Ownership Interest herein and (y) not to transfer its Ownership Interest unless
it provides to the Trustee a certificate substantially in the form attached as
Exhibit C-2 to the Agreement stating that, among other things, it has no actual
knowledge that such prospective Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee or is
not a United States Person. Each Person holding or acquiring an Ownership
Interest in this Certificate, by purchasing such Ownership Interest herein,
agrees to give the Trustee written notice that it is a "pass-through interest
holder" within the meaning of temporary Treasury regulation Section
1.67-3T(a)(2)(i)(A) immediately upon acquiring such Ownership Interest, if it
is, or is holding such Ownership Interest on behalf of, a "pass-through
interest holder".
The provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the Agreement may be
modified, added to or eliminated, provided that there shall have been delivered
to the Trustee the following: (a) written notification from each Rating Agency
to the effect that the modification of, addition to or elimination of such
provisions will not cause such Rating Agency to withdraw, qualify or downgrade
its then-current rating of any Class of Certificates; and (b) an Opinion of
Counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee and the Depositor,
to the effect that such modification of, addition to or elimination of such
provisions will not cause either REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III to (x) cease to
qualify as a REMIC or (y) be subject to an entity-level tax caused by the
Transfer of any Class R-I Certificate to a Person which is not a Permitted
Transferee, or cause a Person other than the prospective Transferee to be
subject to a REMIC-related tax caused by the Transfer of a Class R-I
Certificate to a Person which is not a Permitted Transferee.
A "Permitted Transferee" is any Transferee other than (i) the
United States, any State or political subdivision thereof, any possession of
the United States, or any agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing
(other than an instrumentality which is a corporation if all of its activities
are subject to tax and, except for FHLMC, a majority of its board of directors
is not selected by such governmental unit), (ii) a foreign government, any
international organization, or any agency or instrumentality of any of the
foregoing, (iii) any organization (other than certain farmers' cooperatives
described in Section 521 of the Code) which is exempt from the tax imposed by
Chapter 1 of the Code (including the tax imposed by Section 511 of the Code on
unrelated business taxable income), (iv) rural electric and telephone
cooperatives described in Section 1381(a)(2)(C) of the Code and (v) any other
Person so designated by the Trustee based upon an Opinion of Counsel that the
holding of an Ownership Interest in a Class R-I Certificate by such Person may
cause the Trust Fund or any Person having an Ownership Interest in any Class of
Certificates (other than such Person) to incur a liability for any federal tax
imposed under the Code that would not otherwise be imposed but for the Transfer
of an Ownership Interest in a Class R-I Certificate to such
-7-
Person. The terms "United States", "State" and "international organization"
shall have the meanings set forth in Section 7701 of the Code or successor
provisions.
A "United States Person" is a citizen or resident of the
United States, a corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized
in, or under the laws of, the United States or any political subdivision
thereof, an estate whose income from sources without the United States is
includable in gross income for United States federal income tax purposes
regardless of its connection with the conduct of a trade or business within the
United States, or a trust if a court within the United States is able to
exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or
more United States Persons have the authority to control all substantial
decisions of the trust.
No service charge will be imposed for any registration of
transfer or exchange of Class R-I Certificates, but the Trustee or the
Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax
or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
transfer or exchange of Class R-I Certificates.
Prior to due presentment of this Certificate for registration
of transfer, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the
Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Certificate Registrar and any agents of any of
them may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the
owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Certificate Registrar
or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
The Trust Fund and the obligations created by the Agreement
shall terminate upon distribution (or provision for distribution) to the
Certificateholders of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee and
required to be distributed to them pursuant to the Agreement following the
earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with
respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan or REO Property remaining in the
Trust Fund, and (ii) the purchase by the Master Servicer or the Depositor at a
price determined as provided in the Agreement of all Mortgage Loans and any REO
Properties remaining in the Trust Fund. The Agreement permits, but does not
require, the Depositor or the Master Servicer to purchase from the Trust Fund
all Mortgage Loans and any REO Properties remaining therein. The exercise of
such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such
right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Pool at the time of purchase being less than 1% of the aggregate
Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage specified on the face hereof.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein
provided, the amendment thereof, and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
-8-
Special Servicer and the Trustee thereunder and the rights of the
Certificateholders thereunder, at any time by the Depositor, the Master
Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders
of Certificates entitled to at least 662/3% of the Voting Rights allocated to
the affected Classes. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall
be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this
Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in
exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is
made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof,
in certain circumstances, including any amendment necessary to maintain the
status of REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III as a REMIC, without the consent of the
Holders of any of the Certificates.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been
executed by the Certificate Registrar, by manual signature, this Certificate
shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any
purpose.
The registered Holder hereof, by its acceptance hereof,
agrees that it will look solely to the Trust Fund (to the extent of its rights
therein) for distributions hereunder.
This Certificate shall be construed in accordance with the
internal laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be
performed in said State, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the Holder
hereof shall be determined in accordance with such laws.

without such registration (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of
the Trust Fund or of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer,
the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar in their respective capacities as
such). None of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar is
obligated to register or qualify the Class R-II Certificates under the
Securities Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise
required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of any Class R-II
Certificate without registration or qualification. Any Class R-II
Certificateholder desiring to effect such a transfer shall, and by the
acceptance of its Class R-II Certificate agrees to, indemnify the Depositor,
the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar against any liability that may result
if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal
and state laws.
No transfer of a Class R-II Certificate or any interest
therein shall be made to (A) any employee benefit plan or other retirement
arrangement, including individual retirement accounts and annuities, Xxxxx
plans and collective investment funds and separate accounts in which such
plans, accounts or arrangements are invested, that is subject to ERISA or the
Code (each, a "Plan") or (B) any Person who is directly or indirectly
purchasing the Class R-II Certificate or interest therein on behalf of, as
named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with assets of a Plan, unless the
prospective transferee provides the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the
Depositor with a certification of facts and an Opinion of Counsel which
establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the
Depositor that such transfer will not result in a violation of Section 406 of
ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or cause the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer or the Trustee to be deemed a
-5-
fiduciary of such Plan or result in the imposition of an excise tax under
Section 4975 of the Code. Each Person who acquires any Class R-II Certificate
or interest therein (unless it shall have delivered the certification of facts
and Opinion of Counsel referred to in the preceding sentence) shall be deemed
to have certified that it is neither a Plan nor any Person who is directly or
indirectly purchasing such Class R-II Certificate or interest therein on behalf
of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with assets of a Plan. The Trustee
may require that any prospective transferee of a Class R-II Certificate that is
held as a Definitive Certificate, provide such certifications as the Trustee
may deem desirable or necessary in order to establish that such transferee or
the Person in whose name such registration is requested is not a Plan or a
Person who is directly or indirectly purchasing such Certificate on behalf of,
as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with assets of a Plan.
Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in
this Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such
Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the provisions of Section
5.02(d) of the Agreement and, if any purported Transferee shall become a Holder
of this Certificate in violation of the provisions of such Section 5.02(d), to
have irrevocably authorized the Trustee under clause (ii)(A) of such Section
5.02(d) to deliver payments to a Person other than such Person and to have
irrevocably authorized the Trustee under clause (ii)(B) of such Section 5.02(d)
to negotiate the terms of any mandatory sale and to execute all instruments of
Transfer and to do all other things necessary in connection with any such sale.
Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in this Certificate
must be a Permitted Transferee and a United States Person and shall promptly
notify the Trustee of any change or impending change in its status as a
Permitted Transferee or United States Person. In connection with any proposed
Transfer of any Ownership Interest in this in this Certificate, the Trustee
shall require delivery to it, and shall not register the Transfer of this
Certificate until its receipt of, an affidavit and agreement substantially in
the form attached as Exhibit C-1 to the Agreement (a "Transfer Affidavit and
Agreement") from the proposed Transferee, in form and substance satisfactory to
the Trustee, representing and warranting, among other things, that such
Transferee is a Permitted Transferee and a United States Person, that it is not
acquiring its Ownership Interest in this Certificate as a nominee, trustee or
agent for any Person that is not a Permitted Transferee or is not a United
States Person, that for so long as it retains its Ownership Interest in this
Certificate, it will endeavor to remain a Permitted Transferee and a United
States Person, and that it has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.02(d) of
the Agreement and agrees to be bound by them. Notwithstanding the delivery of a
Transfer Affidavit and Agreement by a proposed Transferee, if the Trustee has
actual knowledge that the proposed Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee or
is not a United States Person, the Trustee shall not register the Transfer of
an Ownership Interest in this Certificate to such proposed Transferee.
Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in
this Certificate shall agree (x) to require a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement
from any prospective Transferee to whom such Person attempts to transfer its
Ownership Interest herein and (y) not to transfer its Ownership
-6-
Interest unless it provides to the Trustee a certificate substantially in the
form attached as Exhibit C-2 to the Agreement stating that, among other things,
it has no actual knowledge that such prospective Transferee is not a Permitted
Transferee or is not a United States Person. Each Person holding or acquiring
an Ownership Interest in this Certificate, by purchasing such Ownership
Interest herein, agrees to give the Trustee written notice that it is a
"pass-through interest holder" within the meaning of temporary Treasury
regulation Section 1.67-3T(a)(2)(i)(A) immediately upon acquiring such
Ownership Interest, if it is, or is holding such Ownership Interest on behalf
of, a "pass-through interest holder".
The provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the Agreement may be
modified, added to or eliminated, provided that there shall have been delivered
to the Trustee the following: (a) written notification from each Rating Agency
to the effect that the modification of, addition to or elimination of such
provisions will not cause such Rating Agency to withdraw, qualify or downgrade
its then-current rating of any Class of Certificates; and (b) an Opinion of
Counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee and the Depositor,
to the effect that such modification of, addition to or elimination of such
provisions will not cause either REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III to (x) cease to
qualify as a REMIC or (y) be subject to an entity-level tax caused by the
Transfer of any Class R-II Certificate to a Person which is not a Permitted
Transferee, or cause a Person other than the prospective Transferee to be
subject to a REMIC-related tax caused by the Transfer of a Class R-II
Certificate to a Person which is not a Permitted Transferee.
A "Permitted Transferee" is any Transferee other than (i) the
United States, any State or political subdivision thereof, any possession of
the United States, or any agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing
(other than an instrumentality which is a corporation if all of its activities
are subject to tax and, except for FHLMC, a majority of its board of directors
is not selected by such governmental unit), (ii) a foreign government, any
international organization, or any agency or instrumentality of any of the
foregoing, (iii) any organization (other than certain farmers' cooperatives
described in Section 521 of the Code) which is exempt from the tax imposed by
Chapter 1 of the Code (including the tax imposed by Section 511 of the Code on
unrelated business taxable income), (iv) rural electric and telephone
cooperatives described in Section 1381(a)(2)(C) of the Code and (v) any other
Person so designated by the Trustee based upon an Opinion of Counsel that the
holding of an Ownership Interest in a Class R-II Certificate by such Person may
cause the Trust Fund or any Person having an Ownership Interest in any Class of
Certificates (other than such Person) to incur a liability for any federal tax
imposed under the Code that would not otherwise be imposed but for the Transfer
of an Ownership Interest in a Class R-II Certificate to such Person. The terms
"United States", "State" and "international organization" shall have the
meanings set forth in Section 7701 of the Code or successor provisions.
A "United States Person" is a citizen or resident of the
United States, a corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized
in, or under the laws of, the United States or any
-7-
political subdivision thereof, an estate whose income from sources without the
United States is includable in gross income for United States federal income
tax purposes regardless of its connection with the conduct of a trade or
business within the United States, or a trust if a court within the United
States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the
trust and one or more United States Persons have the authority to control all
substantial decisions of the trust.
No service charge will be imposed for any registration of
transfer or exchange of Class R-II Certificates, but the Trustee or the
Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax
or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
transfer or exchange of Class R-II Certificates.
Prior to due presentment of this Certificate for registration
of transfer, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the
Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Certificate Registrar and any agents of any of
them may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the
owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Certificate Registrar
or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
The Trust Fund and the obligations created by the Agreement
shall terminate upon distribution (or provision for distribution) to the
Certificateholders of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee and
required to be distributed to them pursuant to the Agreement following the
earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with
respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan or REO Property remaining in the
Trust Fund, and (ii) the purchase by the Master Servicer or the Depositor at a
price determined as provided in the Agreement of all Mortgage Loans and any REO
Properties remaining in the Trust Fund. The Agreement permits, but does not
require, the Depositor or the Master Servicer to purchase from the Trust Fund
all Mortgage Loans and any REO Properties remaining therein. The exercise of
such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such
right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the
Mortgage Pool at the time of purchase being less than 1% of the aggregate
Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Pool specified on the face
hereof.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein
provided, the amendment thereof, and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the
Trustee thereunder and the rights of the Certificateholders thereunder, at any
time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the
Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least
662/3% of the Voting Rights allocated to the affected Classes. Any such consent
by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such
Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate
issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof
whether or not notation of such consent is made upon
-8-
this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain
circumstances, including any amendment necessary to maintain the status of
REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III as a REMIC, without the consent of the Holders
of any of the Certificates.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been
executed by the Certificate Registrar, by manual signature, this Certificate
shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any
purpose.
The registered Holder hereof, by its acceptance hereof,
agrees that it will look solely to the Trust Fund (to the extent of its rights
therein) for distributions hereunder.
This Certificate shall be construed in accordance with the
internal laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made and to be
performed in said State, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the Holder
hereof shall be determined in accordance with such laws.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Trustee has caused this Certificate
to be duly executed.

-3-
Servicer and Special Servicer, and LaSalle National Bank, as Trustee. To the
extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the
respective meanings assigned in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under
and is subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to
which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance
hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, distributions will be
made on the 15th day of each month or, if such 15th day is not a Business Day,
the Business Day immediately following (each, a "Distribution Date"),
commencing upon the First Distribution Date specified above, to the Person in
whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the last
Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month of such distribution

Certificate Registrar appointed as provided in the Agreement or such other
location as may be specified in such notice.
The Depositor's Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series
1997-C1 (the "Certificates") are limited in right of distribution to certain
collections and recoveries respecting the Mortgage Loans, all as more
specifically set forth herein and in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement, withdrawals from the Certificate Account and Distribution Account
may be made from time to time for purposes other than, and, in certain cases,
prior to, distributions to Certificateholders, such purposes including the
reimbursement of advances made, or certain expenses incurred, with respect to
the Mortgage Loans and the payment of interest on such advances and expenses.
The Class R-III Certificates are issuable in fully registered
form only without coupons in minimum denominations representing Percentage
Interests specified in the Agreement. As provided in the Agreement and subject
to certain limitations therein set forth, Class R-III Certificates are
exchangeable for new Class R-III Certificates in authorized denominations
evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the Holder
surrendering the same.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable

of transfer at the offices of the Certificate Registrar, duly endorsed by, or

will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
No transfer of any Class R-III Certificate shall be made
unless that transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement
under the Securities Act, and effective registration or qualification under
applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction which does not
require such registration or qualification. If such a transfer of any Class
R-III Certificate (other than a transfer thereof by the Depositor or any
Affiliate of the Depositor) is to be made without registration under the
Securities Act, then the Trustee shall require, in order to assure compliance
with such laws, receipt by it and the Depositor of: (i) if such transfer is
purportedly being made in reliance upon Rule 144A under the Securities Act, a
certificate from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer
substantially in the form attached as Exhibit B-1 to the Agreement and a
certificate from such Certificateholder's prospective transferee substantially
in the form attached as Exhibit B-2 to the Agreement; and (ii) in all other
cases, (A) a certificate from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such
transfer substantially in the form attached to the Agreement as Exhibit B-1 and
a certificate from such Certificateholder's prospective transferee
substantially in the form attached to the Agreement as Exhibit B-3, and (B)

the Trustee and the Depositor to the effect that such transfer may be made
without such registration (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of
the Trust Fund or of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer,
the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar in their respective capacities as
such). None of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar is
obligated to register or qualify the Class R-III Certificates under the
Securities Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise
required under the Agreement to permit the transfer of any Class R-III
Certificate without registration or qualification. Any Class R-III
Certificateholder desiring to effect such a transfer shall, and by the
acceptance of its Class R-III Certificate agrees to, indemnify the Depositor,
the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar against any liability that may result
if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal
and state laws.
No transfer of a Class R-III Certificate or any interest
therein shall be made to (A) any employee benefit plan or other retirement
arrangement, including individual retirement accounts and annuities, Xxxxx
plans and collective investment funds and separate accounts in which such
plans, accounts or arrangements are invested, that is subject to ERISA or the
Code (each, a "Plan") or (B) any Person who is directly or indirectly
purchasing the Class R-III Certificate or interest therein on behalf of, as
named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with assets of a Plan, unless the
prospective transferee provides the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the
Depositor with a certification of facts and an Opinion of Counsel which
establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the
Depositor that such transfer will not result in a violation of Section 406
-5-
of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or cause the Master Servicer, the Special
Servicer or the Trustee to be deemed a fiduciary of such Plan or result in the
imposition of an excise tax under Section 4975 of the Code. Each Person who
acquires any Class R-III Certificate or interest therein (unless it shall have
delivered the certification of facts and Opinion of Counsel referred to in the
preceding sentence) shall be deemed to have certified that it is neither a Plan
nor any Person who is directly or indirectly purchasing such Class R-III
Certificate or interest therein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee
of, or with assets of a Plan. The Trustee may require that any prospective
transferee of a Class R-III Certificate that is held as a Definitive
Certificate, provide such certifications as the Trustee may deem desirable or
necessary in order to establish that such transferee or the Person in whose
name such registration is requested is not a Plan or a Person who is directly
or indirectly purchasing such Certificate on behalf of, as named fiduciary of,
as trustee of, or with assets of a Plan.
Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in
this Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such
Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the provisions of Section
5.02(d) of the Agreement and, if any purported Transferee shall become a Holder
of this Certificate in violation of the provisions of such Section 5.02(d), to
have irrevocably authorized the Trustee under clause (ii)(A) of such Section
5.02(d) to deliver payments to a Person other than such Person and to have
irrevocably authorized the Trustee under clause (ii)(B) of such Section 5.02(d)
to negotiate the terms of any mandatory sale and to execute all instruments of
Transfer and to do all other things necessary in connection with any such sale.
Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in this Certificate
must be a Permitted Transferee and a United States Person and shall promptly
notify the Trustee of any change or impending change in its status as a
Permitted Transferee or United States Person. In connection with any proposed
Transfer of any Ownership Interest in this Certificate, the Trustee shall
require delivery to it, and shall not register the Transfer of this Certificate
until its receipt of, an affidavit and agreement substantially in the form
attached as Exhibit C-1 to the Agreement (a "Transfer Affidavit and Agreement")
from the proposed Transferee, in form and substance satisfactory to the
Trustee, representing and warranting, among other things, that such Transferee
is a Permitted Transferee and a United States Person, that it is not acquiring
its Ownership Interest in this Certificate as a nominee, trustee or agent for
any Person that is not a Permitted Transferee or is not a United States Person,
that for so long as it retains its Ownership Interest in this Certificate, it
will endeavor to remain a Permitted Transferee and a United States Person, and
that it has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the Agreement and
agrees to be bound by them. Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transfer
Affidavit and Agreement by a proposed Transferee, if the Trustee has actual
knowledge that the proposed Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee or is not
a United States Person, the Certificate Registrar shall not register the
Transfer of an Ownership Interest in this Certificate to such proposed
Transferee.
-6-
Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in
this Certificate shall agree (x) to require a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement
from any prospective Transferee to whom such Person attempts to transfer its
Ownership Interest herein and (y) not to transfer its Ownership Interest unless
it provides to the Trustee a certificate substantially in the form attached as
Exhibit C-2 to the Agreement stating that, among other things, it has no actual
knowledge that such prospective Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee or is
not a United States Person. Each Person holding or acquiring an Ownership
Interest in this Certificate, by purchasing such Ownership Interest herein,
agrees to give the Trustee written notice that it is a "pass-through interest
holder" within the meaning of temporary Treasury regulation Section
1.67-3T(a)(2)(i)(A) immediately upon acquiring such Ownership Interest, if it
is, or is holding such Ownership Interest on behalf of, a "pass-through
interest holder".
The provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the Agreement may be
modified, added to or eliminated, provided that there shall have been delivered
to the Trustee the following: (a) written notification from each Rating Agency
to the effect that the modification of, addition to or elimination of such
provisions will not cause such Rating Agency to withdraw, qualify or downgrade
its then-current rating of any Class of Certificates; and (b) an Opinion of
Counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee and the Depositor,
to the effect that such modification of, addition to or elimination of such
provisions will not cause either REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III to (x) cease to
qualify as a REMIC or (y) be subject to an entity-level tax caused by the
Transfer of any Class R-III Certificate to a Person which is not a Permitted
Transferee, or cause a Person other than the prospective Transferee to be
subject to a REMIC-related tax caused by the Transfer of a Class R-III
Certificate to a Person which is not a Permitted Transferee.
A "Permitted Transferee" is any Transferee other than (i) the
United States, any State or political subdivision thereof, any possession of
the United States, or any agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing
(other than an instrumentality which is a corporation if all of its activities
are subject to tax and, except for FHLMC, a majority of its board of directors
is not selected by such governmental unit), (ii) a foreign government, any
international organization, or any agency or instrumentality of any of the
foregoing, (iii) any organization (other than certain farmers' cooperatives
described in Section 521 of the Code) which is exempt from the tax imposed by
Chapter 1 of the Code (including the tax imposed by Section 511 of the Code on
unrelated business taxable income), (iv) rural electric and telephone
cooperatives described in Section 1381(a)(2)(C) of the Code and (v) any other
Person so designated by the Trustee based upon an Opinion of Counsel that the
holding of an Ownership Interest in a Class R-III Certificate by such Person
may cause the Trust Fund or any Person having an Ownership Interest in any
Class of Certificates (other than such Person) to incur a liability for any
federal tax imposed under the Code that would not otherwise be imposed but for
the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Class R-III Certificate to such
Person. The terms "United States", "State" and "international organization"
shall have the meanings set forth in Section 7701 of the Code or successor
provisions.
-7-
A "United States Person" is a citizen or resident of the
United States, a corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized
in, or under the laws of, the United States or any political subdivision
thereof, an estate whose income from sources without the United States is
includable in gross income for United States federal income tax purposes
regardless of its connection with the conduct of a trade or business within the
United States, or a trust if a court within the United States is able to
exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or
more United States Persons have the authority to control all substantial
decisions of the trust.
No service charge will be imposed for any registration of
transfer or exchange of Class R-III Certificates, but the Trustee or the
Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax
or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
transfer or exchange of Class R-III Certificates.
Prior to due presentment of this Certificate for registration
of transfer, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the
Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Certificate Registrar and any agents of any of
them may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the
owner hereof for all purposes, and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer,
the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Fiscal Agent, the Certificate Registrar
or any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
The Trust Fund and the obligations created by the Agreement
shall terminate upon distribution (or provision for distribution) to the
Certificateholders of all amounts held by or on behalf of the Trustee and
required to be distributed to them pursuant to the Agreement following the
earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with
respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan or REO Property remaining in the
Trust Fund, and (ii) the purchase by the Master Servicer or the Depositor at a
price determined as provided in the Agreement of all Mortgage Loans and any REO
Properties remaining in the Trust Fund. The Agreement permits, but does not
require, the Depositor or the Master Servicer to purchase from the Trust Fund
all Mortgage Loans and any REO Properties remaining therein. The exercise of

___, 1997 of $______________
Dear Sirs:
This letter is delivered to you in connection with the transfer by
_________________ (the "Transferor") to _________________ (the "Transferee") of
the captioned Certificate (the "Certificate"), pursuant to Section 5.02 of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement"), dated
as of September 1, 1997, among GMAC Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc. as
Depositor, GMAC Commercial Mortgage Corporation, as Master Servicer and Special
Servicer, LaSalle National Bank, as Trustee and ABN AMRO Bank, N.V., as Fiscal
Agent. All terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the
respective meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The
Transferor hereby certifies, represents and warrants to you, as Certificate
Registrar, that:
1. The Transferor is the lawful owner of the Certificate with the full
right to transfer the Certificate free from any and all claims and encumbrances
whatsoever.
2. Neither the Transferor nor anyone acting on its behalf has (a)
offered, transferred, pledged, sold or otherwise disposed of the Certificate,
any interest in the Certificate or any other similar security to any person in
any manner, (b) solicited any offer to buy or accept a transfer, pledge or
other disposition of the Certificate, any interest in the Certificate or any
other similar security from any person in any manner, (c) otherwise approached
or negotiated with respect to the Certificate, any interest in the Certificate
or any other similar security with any person in any manner, (d) made any
general solicitation with respect to the Certificate, any interest in the
Certificate or any other similar security by means of general advertising or in
any other manner, or (e) taken any other action with respect to the
Certificate, any interest in the Certificate or any other similar security,
which (in the case of any of the acts described in clauses (a) through (e)
hereof) would constitute a distribution under the Securities Act of 1933 (the
"Securities Act"), or would render the disposition of the Certificate a
violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act or any state securities laws, or
would require registration or qualification of the Certificate pursuant to the
Securities Act or any state securities laws.
3. The Transferor and any person acting on behalf of the Transferor in
this matter reasonably believe that the Transferee is a "qualified
institutional buyer" (as that term is defined in Rule 144A ("Rule 144A") under
the Securities Act) purchasing for its own account. In determining whether the
Transferee is a "qualified institutional buyer," the Transferor and any person
acting on behalf of the Transferor in this matter has relied upon the following
method(s) of establishing the Transferee's ownership and discretionary
investments of securities (check one or more):
___ (a) The Transferee's most recent publicly available financial
statements, which statements present
the information as of a date within 16 months preceding the date of sale of the
Certificate in the case of a U.S. purchaser and within 18 months preceding such
date of sale for a foreign purchaser; or
___ (b) The most recent publicly available information appearing in
documents filed by the Transferee with the Securities and Exchange Commission
or another United States federal, state, or local governmental agency or
self-regulatory organization, or with a foreign governmental agency or
self-regulatory organization, which information is as of a date within 16
months preceding the date of sale of the Certificate in the case of a U.S.
purchaser and within 18 months preceding such date of sale for a foreign
purchaser; or
___ (c) The most recent publicly available information appearing in a
recognized securities manual, which information is as of a date within 16
months preceding the date of sale of the Certificate in the case of a U.S.
purchaser and within 18 months preceding such date of sale for a foreign
purchaser; or
___ (d) A certification by the chief financial officer, a person
fulfilling an equivalent function, or other executive officer of the
Transferee, specifying the amount of securities owned and invested on a
discretionary basis by the Transferee as of a specific date on or since the
close of the Transferee's most recent fiscal year, or, in the case of a
Transferee that is a member of a "family of investment companies," as that term
is defined in Rule 144A, a certification by an executive officer of the
investment adviser specifying the amount of securities owned by the "family of
investment companies" as of a specific date on or since the close of the
Transferee's most recent fiscal year.
4. The Transferor and any person acting on behalf of the Transferor
understand that in determining the aggregate amount of securities owned and
invested on a discretionary basis by an entity for purposes of establishing
whether such entity is a "qualified institutional buyer:"
(a) the following instruments and interests shall be
excluded: securities of issuers that are affiliated with the
Transferee; securities that are part of an unsold allotment to or
subscription by the Transferee, if the Transferee is a dealer;
securities of issuers that are part of the Transferee's "family of
investment companies," if the Transferee is a registered investment
company; bank deposit notes and certificates of deposit; loan
participations; repurchase agreements; securities owned but subject to
a repurchase agreement; and currency, interest rate and commodity
swaps;
(b) the aggregate value of the securities shall be the cost
of such securities, except where the entity reports its securities
holdings in its financial statements on the basis of their market
value, and no current information with respect to the cost of those
securities has been published, in which case the securities may be
valued at market; and
(c) securities owned by subsidiaries of the entity that are
consolidated with the entity in its financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles may be
included if the investments of such subsidiaries are managed under the
direction of the entity, except that, unless the entity is a reporting
company under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, securities owned by such subsidiaries may not be included if the
entity itself is a majority-owned subsidiary that would be included in
the consolidated financial statements of another enterprise.
5. Unless the Transferee is an "accredited investor" within the
meaning of Rule 501(a) (1), (2), (3), or (7) that is furnishing a Transferee
Certificate in the form of Exhibit B-3 to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
the Transferor or a person acting on its behalf has taken reasonable steps to
ensure that the Transferee is aware that the Transferor is relying on the
exemption from the provisions of Section 5 of the Securities Act provided by
Rule 144A.
-13-
6. The Transferor or a person acting on its behalf has furnished, or
caused to be furnished, to the Transferee all information regarding (a) the
Certificate and distributions thereon, (b) the nature, performance and
servicing of the Mortgage Loans, (c) the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and
(d) any credit enhancement mechanism associated with the Certificate, that the
Transferee has requested.

the foregoing sentence with respect to the Certificate, any security issued in
exchange therefor or in lieu thereof or any interest in the foregoing.
5. The Transferee has been furnished with all information regarding
(a) the Depositor, (b) the Certificate and distributions thereon, (c) the
Mortgage Loans, (d) the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and (e) all related
matters, that it has requested.
6. The Transferee is an "accredited investor" within the meaning of
paragraph (1), (2), (3) or (7) of Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and has
such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be
capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the
Certificates; the Transferee has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice
as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision; and the
Transferee is able to bear the economic risks of such an investment and can
afford a complete loss of such investment.
7. If the Transferee proposes to acquire a Subordinated Certificate
that is held as a Definitive Certificate, the Transferee hereby certifies to
the Trustee, the Depositor and the Master Servicer that such transfer will not
result in a violation of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or
cause the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee to be deemed a
fiduciary of such Plan or result in the imposition of an excise tax under
Section 4975 of the Code.

COUNTY OF )
____________________, being first duly sworn, deposes and
says that:
1. He/She is the ____________________ of ____________________
(the prospective transferee (the "Transferee") of GMAC Commercial Mortgage
Securities, Inc., Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 1997- C1, Class
[R-I] [R-II] [R-III], evidencing a ____% Percentage Interest in such Class (the
"Residual Certificates")), a ________________________ duly organized and
validly existing under the laws of ____________________, on behalf of which
he/she makes this affidavit. All capitalized terms used but not otherwise
defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement pursuant to which the Residual Certificates were issued
(the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement").
2. The Transferee (i) is, and as of the date of transfer will
be, a "Permitted Transferee" and will endeavor to remain a "Permitted
Transferee" for so long as it holds the Residual Certificates, and (ii) is
acquiring the Residual Certificates for its own account or for the account of
another prospective transferee from which it has received an affidavit in
substantially the same form as this affidavit. A "Permitted Transferee" is any
Person other than a "disqualified organization" or a possession of the United
States. (For this purpose, a "disqualified organization" means the United
States, any state or political subdivision thereof, any agency or
instrumentality of any of the foregoing (other than an instrumentality, all of
the activities of which are subject to tax and, except for the Federal Home
Loan Mortgage Corporation, a majority of whose board of directors is not
selected by any such governmental entity) or any foreign government,
international organization or any agency or instrumentality of such foreign
government or organization, any rural electric or telephone cooperative, or any
organization (other than certain farmers' cooperatives) that is generally
exempt from federal income tax unless such organization is subject to the tax
on unrelated business taxable income.
3. The Transferee is aware (i) of the tax that would be
imposed on transfers of the Residual Certificates to "disqualified
organizations" under the Code that applies to all transfers of the Residual
Certificates; (ii) that such tax would be on the transferor or, if such
transfer is through an agent (which Person includes a broker, nominee or
middleman) for a non-Permitted Transferee, on the agent; (iii) that the Person
otherwise liable for the tax shall be relieved of liability for the tax if the
transferee furnishes to such Person an affidavit that the transferee is a
Permitted Transferee and, at the time of transfer, such Person does not have
actual knowledge that the affidavit is false; and (iv) that the Residual
Certificates may be a "noneconomic residual interest" within the meaning of
Treasury regulation Section 1.860E-1(c) and that the transferor of a
"noneconomic residual interest" will remain liable for any taxes due with
respect to the income on such residual interest, unless no significant purpose
of the transfer is to enable the transferor to impede the assessment or
collection of tax.
4. The Transferee is aware of the tax imposed on a
"pass-through entity" holding the Residual Certificates if at any time during
the taxable year of the pass-through entity a non-Permitted Transferee is the
record holder of an interest in such entity. (For this purpose, a "pass-through
entity" includes a regulated investment company, a real estate investment trust
or common trust fund, a partnership, trust or estate, and certain
cooperatives.)
-2-
5. The Transferee is aware that the Certificate Registrar
will not register any transfer of the Residual Certificates by the Transferee
unless the Transferee's transferee, or such transferee's agent, delivers to the
Certificate Registrar, among other things, an affidavit and agreement in
substantially the same form as this affidavit and agreement. The Transferee
expressly agrees that it will not consummate any such transfer if it knows or
believes that any representation contained in such affidavit and agreement is
false.
6. The Transferee consents to any additional restrictions or
arrangements that shall be deemed necessary upon advice of counsel to
constitute a reasonable arrangement to ensure that the Residual Certificate
will only be owned, directly or indirectly, by a Permitted Transferee.
7. The Transferee's taxpayer identification number
is _________________.
8. The Transferee has reviewed the provisions of Section
5.02(d) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, a description of which
provisions is set forth in the Residual Certificates (in particular, clause
(ii)(A) of Section 5.02(d) which authorizes the Trustee to deliver payments on
the Residual Certificate to a Person other than the Transferee and clause
(ii)(B) of Section 5.02(d) which authorizes the Trustee to negotiate a
mandatory sale of the Residual Certificates, in either case, in the event that
the Transferee holds such Residual Certificates in violation of Section
5.02(d)); and the Transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and to comply with
such provisions.
9. No purpose of the Transferee relating to its purchase or
any sale of the Residual Certificates is or will be to impede the assessment or
collection of any tax.
10. The Transferee hereby represents to and for the benefit
of the transferor that the Transferee intends to pay any taxes associated with
holding the Residual Certificates as they become due, fully understanding that
it may incur tax liabilities in excess of any cash flows generated by the
Residual Certificates.
11. The Transferee will, in connection with any transfer that
it makes of the Residual Certificates, deliver to the Certificate Registrar a
representation letter substantially in the form of Exhibit H-2 to the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement in which it will represent and warrant, among other
things, that it is not transferring the Residual Certificates to impede the
assessment or collection of any tax and that it has at the time of such
transfer conducted a reasonable investigation of the financial condition of the
proposed transferee as contemplated by Treasury regulation Section
1.860E-1(c)(4)(i) and has satisfied the requirements of such provision.
12. The Transferee is a citizen or resident of the United
States, a corporation, a partnership or other entity created or organized in,
or under the laws of, the United States or any political subdivision thereof,
or an estate or trust whose income from sources without the United States is
includible in gross income for United States federal income tax purposes
regardless of its connection with the conduct of a trade or business within the
United States.

Re: GMAC Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc., Mortgage
Pass-Through Certificates, Series 1997-C1 (the
"Certificates")
Dear Sirs:
This letter is delivered to you in connection with the
transfer by _________________ (the "Transferor") to _________________ (the
"Transferee") of [Class R-I] [Class R-II] [Class R-III] Certificates evidencing
a ____% Percentage Interest in such Class (the "Residual Certificates"). The
Certificates, including the Residual Certificates, were issued pursuant to the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of September 1, 1997 (the "Pooling
and Servicing Agreement"), among GMAC Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc., as
Depositor, GMAC Commercial Mortgage Corporation, as Master Servicer and Special
Servicer, LaSalle National Bank, as Trustee and ABN AMRO Bank, N.V., as Fiscal
Agent. All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have
the respective meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The
Transferor hereby certifies, represents and warrants to you, as Certificate
Registrar, that:
1. No purpose of the Transferor relating to the transfer of
the Residual Certificates by the Transferor to the Transferee is or will be to
impede the assessment or collection of any tax.
2. The Transferor understands that the Transferee has
delivered to you a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement in the form attached to the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Transferor does not know or believe that
any representation contained therein is false.
3. The Transferor has at the time of this transfer conducted
a reasonable investigation of the financial condition of the Transferee as
contemplated by Treasury regulation Section 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i) and, as a result
of that investigation, the Transferor has determined that the Transferee has
historically paid its debts as they became due and has found no significant
evidence to indicate that the Transferee will not continue to pay its debts as
they become due in the future. The Transferor understands that the transfer of
the Residual Certificates may not be respected for United States income tax
purposes (and the Transferor may continue to be liable for United States income
taxes associated therewith) unless the Transferor has conducted such an
investigation.
4. The Transferee has no actual knowledge that such
prospective Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee or is not a United States
Person.

Exhibit F
Methodology to Normalize Net Operating Income and Debt Service Coverage
GMAC Commercial Mortgage Corporation (GMACCM) applies the methodology presented
below to arrive at a servicer adjusted or "Normalized" Net Operating Income
(NOI). The items described below highlight some of the majorcategories
requiring adjustment. There may, however, be others, and GMACCM will use its
market knowledge and discretion in making and sufficiently footnoting the
necessary adjustments.
o GMACCM chooses to use the actual management fee stated in the
financial statement.
o Where they are clearly identifiable, GMACCM will remove any capital
expense from any above the line categories (such as extraordinary
repairs and maintenance) and put them below the line in the capital
expense comment section.
o Replacement reserves, tenant improvement and leasing commission
reserves will be treated as above the line expenses. A determination
will be made whether there have been credits for the disbursements
from a reserve and that expenses are not overstated due to exclusion
of credits.
o Property taxes should be the annual amount due, excluding any
delinquent taxes or credits from prior years which would cause the
number to be higher or lower. The amount for property taxes will be
adjusted if the period under analysis is less than one year.
o GMAC Commercial Mortgage will exclude non-recurring, extraordinary
income. For example, a tax refund, lease buyout or income received for a
period other than the year in question should be adjusted. If past due
rent for a prior year was paid and recorded in the current year, GMACCM
would back it out and footnote it accordingly. Care will be used when
reflecting percentage/overage rents to ensure that it relates to the
appropriate period and that the numbers are supported by tenant sales
information.
o GMAC Commercial Mortgage will remove any items not pertaining to
the operation of the property such as, fees for closing the loan
restructure, a distribution to owners or a charitable contribution.
o When necessary, income and expenses will be analyzed by looking at
variances by category. Unusual income and expense items will be
researched. If there are significant variances, inquiries to the
borrower will be made. Appropriate adjustments will be made and
footnotes provided to clearly explain the situation.
o The debt service should be an actual amount the borrower paid per
the servicing records for the period associated with the operating
statement. If GMACCM does not have a full year of payments, it will use
the principal and interest constant in the case of a fixed rate loan
and, in the case of an adjustable rate loan, will estimate a full year
amount from the payment history information available.
