SUMMARY OF PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT
• | This summary highlights selected information from this prospectus supplement and does not contain all of the information that you need to consider in making your investment decision. To understand the terms of the offered certificates, you must carefully read this entire prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. |
• | This summary provides an overview of certain calculations, cash flows and other information to aid your understanding and is qualified by the full description of these calculations, cash flows and other information in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. |
• | We provide information in this prospectus supplement on the certificates that are not offered by this prospectus supplement only to enhance your understanding of the offered certificates. We are not offering the non-offered certificates pursuant to this prospectus supplement. |
• | For purposes of making distributions to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-PB, Class A-3 and Class A-1A certificates and the Class A-3FL regular interest, the pool of mortgage loans will be deemed to consist of 2 distinct loan groups, loan group 1 and loan group 2. |
• | Unless otherwise stated, all percentages of the mortgage loans included in the trust fund, or of any specified group of mortgage loans included in the trust fund, referred to in this prospectus supplement are calculated using the aggregate principal balance of the mortgage loans included in the trust fund as of the cut-off date (which for all of the mortgage loans is June 11, 2006), after giving effect to payments due on or before such date whether or not received. The cut-off date balance of each mortgage loan included in the trust fund and each cut-off date certificate balance in this prospectus supplement assumes the timely receipt of principal scheduled to be paid (if any) on each mortgage loan and no defaults, delinquencies or prepayments on any mortgage loan on or before the related cut-off date. Percentages of mortgaged properties are references to the percentages of the aggregate principal balance of all the mortgage loans included in the trust fund, or of any specified group of mortgage loans included in the trust fund, as of the cut-off date represented by the aggregate principal balance of the related mortgage loans as of the cut-off date. |
• | One (1) mortgage loan, the Prime Outlets Pool II mortgage loan, is part of a split loan structure where one related companion loan that is part of the split loan structure is pari passu in right of entitlement to payment with the related mortgage loan and the other related companion loan that is part of the split loan structure is subordinate to the related mortgage loan and the related pari passuloan. Certain other mortgage loans are each part of a split loan structure in which the related companion loan is subordinate to the related mortgage loan. Amounts attributable to any companion loan will not be assets of the trust fund and will be beneficially owned by the holder of such companion loan. The Woodlands Mall mortgage loan is further divided into a senior pooled component and a subordinate non-pooled component and, unless otherwise stated in this prospectus supplement, all references to the principal balance of the mortgage loans in the trust fund and related information (including cut-off date balance per square foot and debt service coverage and loan-to-value ratios) are references to the pooled component only of The Woodlands Mall mortgage loan. |
• | All numerical or statistical information concerning the mortgage loans included in the trust fund is provided on an approximate basis and excludes information on the subordinate companion loans. |

See ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE CERTIFICATES—Pass-Through Rates’’ in this prospectus supplement. |
(13) | Because The Woodlands Mall mortgage loan accrues interest on an ‘‘actual/360’’ basis but the Class WM certificates accrue interest on a ‘‘30/360’’ basis, the pass-through rate in certain months on such class may be higher or lower than indicated. |

On each distribution date, amounts available in respect of The Woodlands Mall non-pooled component (net of administrative costs and fees) will be distributed in respect of principal of, and interest on, the Class WM certificates. | ||
The Woodlands Mall non-pooled component will support only the Class WM certificates and amounts allocated to such component will not be part of funds available for distributions to holders of the other certificates. No companion loan will be part of the trust fund, and amounts received with respect to any companion loan will not be available for distributions to holders of any certificates. | ||
Interest | On each distribution date, each class of certificates (other than the Class Z, Class R-I and Class R-II certificates) and the Class A-3FL regular interest will be entitled to receive: | |
• | for each class of these certificates and the Class A-3FL regular interest, one month’s interest at the applicable pass-through rate accrued during the applicable interest period, on the certificate balance or notional amount, as applicable, of each class of these certificates or the Class A-3FL regular interest immediately prior to that distribution date; | ||
• | plus any interest that this class of certificates or the Class A-3FL regular interest was entitled to receive on all prior distribution dates to the extent not received; | ||
• | minus (other than in the case of the Class X-C and Class X-P certificates) that class’s share of any shortfalls in interest collections due to prepayments on mortgage loans included in the trust fund (or, in the case of the Class WM certificates, The Woodlands Mall non-pooled component) that are not offset by certain payments made by the master servicer; and | ||
• | minus (other than in the case of the Class X-C and Class X-P certificates) that class’ allocable share of any reduction in interest accrued on any mortgage loan (or, in the case of the Class WM certificates, The Woodlands Mall non-pooled component) as a result of a modification that reduces the related mortgage rate and allows the reduction in accrued interest to be added to the stated principal balance of the mortgage loan. | ||
S-19
As reflected in the chart under ‘‘—Priority of Distributions’’ above, so long as funds are sufficient on any distribution date to make distributions of all interest on that distribution date to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-PB, Class A-3, Class A-1A, Class X-C and Class X-P certificates and the Class A-3FL regular interest, interest distributions on the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-PB and Class A-3 certificates and the Class A-3FL regular interest will be based upon amounts available relating to mortgage loans in loan group 1 and interest distributions on the Class A-1A certificates will be based upon amounts available relating to mortgage loans in loan group 2. | ||
See ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE CERTIFICATES— Certificate Balances and Notional Amounts’’ and ‘‘— Distributions’’ in this prospectus supplement. | ||
The Class X-C and Class X-P certificates will be entitled to distributions of interest only on their respective notional amounts. The notional amounts of each of these classes of certificates are calculated as described under ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE CERTIFICATES—Certificate Balances and Notional Amounts’’ in this prospectus supplement. | ||
Each of the Class X-C and Class X-P certificates will accrue interest at a rate as described under ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE CERTIFICATES—Pass-Through Rates’’ in this prospectus supplement. | ||
The certificates (other than the Class A-3FL, Class Z, Class R-I and Class R-II certificates) and the Class A-3FL regular interest will accrue interest on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The Class A-3FL certificates will accrue interest on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days in the related interest accrual period; provided that if the pass-through rate converts to a fixed rate as described in this prospectus supplement, the Class A-3FL certificates will accrue interest on the same basis as the Class A-3FL regular interest. | ||
The interest accrual period with respect to any distribution date and any class of certificates (other than the Class A-3FL, Class Z, Class R-I and Class R-II certificates) and the Class A-3FL regular interest is the calendar month preceding the month in which such distribution date occurs. The interest accrual period with respect to the Class A-3FL certificates is the period from and including the distribution date in the month preceding the month in which the related distribution date occurs (or, in the case of the first distribution date, the closing date) to but excluding the related distribution date, calculated on the basis of the actual number of days in such interest accrual period and assuming each year has 360 days; provided that if the pass-through rate converts to a fixed rate as described in this prospectus supplement, such interest | ||
S-20
accrual period and interest calculation method will be the same as that of the Class A-3FL regular interest. | ||
As reflected in the chart under ‘‘—Priority of Distributions’’ beginning on page S-13 above, on each distribution date, the trustee will distribute interest to the holders of the offered certificates, the Class A-3FL regular interest and the Class X-C and Class X-P certificates: | ||
• | first, pro rata, to the Class X-C, Class X-P, Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-PB, Class A-3 and Class A-1A certificates and the Class A-3FL regular interest as described above under ‘‘—Priority of Distributions’’, and then to each other class of offered certificates in order of priority of payment; and | ||
• | only to the extent funds remain after the trustee makes all distributions of interest and principal required to be made on such date to each class of certificates or regular interest with a higher priority of distribution. | ||
You may, in certain circumstances, also receive distributions of prepayment premiums and yield maintenance charges collected on the mortgage loans included in the trust fund. These distributions are in addition to the distributions of principal and interest described above. See ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE CERTIFICATES—Distributions’’ in this prospectus supplement. | ||
Pass-Through Rates | The pass-through rate for each class of certificates (other than the Class X-C, Class X-P, Class Z, Class R-I and Class R-II certificates) on each distribution date is set forth above under ‘‘OVERVIEW OF THE CERTIFICATES’’ in this prospectus supplement. | |
The pass-through rate applicable to the Class X-C certificates and Class X-P certificates is described under ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE CERTIFICATES—Pass-Through Rates’’ in this prospectus supplement. | ||
The weighted average net mortgage rate for each distribution date is the weighted average of the net mortgage rates for the mortgage loans (excluding the interest rate and component principal balance of The Woodlands Mall non-pooled component) included in the trust fund as of the beginning of the related collection period, weighted on the basis of their respective stated principal balances (excluding the component principal balance of the non-pooled component of The Woodlands Mall mortgage loan) immediately following the preceding distribution date; provided that, for the purpose of determining the weighted average net mortgage rate only, if the mortgage rate for any mortgage loan included in the trust fund has been modified in connection with a bankruptcy or similar proceeding involving the related borrower or a modification, waiver or amendment granted or agreed to by | ||
S-21
the special servicer, the weighted average net mortgage rate for that mortgage loan will be calculated without regard to that event. The net mortgage rate for each mortgage loan included in the trust fund (which, in the case of The Woodlands Mall mortgage loan, excludes The Woodlands Mall non-pooled component) will generally equal: | ||
• | the mortgage interest rate in effect for that mortgage loan as of the closing date; minus | ||
• | the applicable administrative cost rate, as described in this prospectus supplement. | ||
Any increase in the interest rate of a mortgage loan as a result of not repaying the outstanding principal amount of such mortgage loan by the related anticipated repayment date will be disregarded for purposes of calculating the net mortgage rate. | ||
For the purpose of calculating the weighted average net mortgage rate, the mortgage rate of each mortgage loan will be deemed adjusted as described under ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE CERTIFICATES—Pass-Through Rates’’ in this prospectus supplement. | ||
The stated principal balance of each mortgage loan included in the trust fund will generally equal the principal balance of that mortgage loan as of the cut-off date, reduced as of any date of determination (to not less than zero) by: | ||
• | the portion of the principal distribution amount for the related distribution date that is attributable to that mortgage loan; and | ||
• | the principal portion of any realized loss incurred in respect of that mortgage loan during the related collection period. | ||
The stated principal balance of any mortgage loan as to which the mortgage rate is reduced through a modification may be increased in certain circumstances by the amount of the resulting interest reduction. See ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE CERTIFICATES—Pass-Through Rates’’ in this prospectus supplement. | ||
Principal Distributions | On the closing date, each class of certificates (other than the Class X-C, Class X-P, Class Z, Class R-I and Class R-II certificates) will have the certificate balance set forth above under ‘‘OVERVIEW OF THE CERTIFICATES’’ and the Class A-3FL regular interest will have a certificate balance equal to the certificate balance of the Class A-3FL certificates. The certificate balance for each class of certificates and the Class A-3FL regular interest entitled to receive principal may be reduced by: | |
• | distributions of principal; and | ||
• | allocations of realized losses and trust fund expenses. | ||
S-22
The certificate balance or notional amount of a class of certificates and the Class A-3FL regular interest may be increased in certain circumstances by the allocation of any increase in the stated principal balance of any mortgage loan resulting from the reduction of the related mortgage rate through modification. See ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE CERTIFICATES—Certificate Balances and Notional Amounts’’ in this prospectus supplement. | ||
The Class X-C and Class X-P certificates do not have principal balances and will not receive distributions of principal. | ||
As reflected in the chart under ‘‘—Priority of Distributions’’ above: | ||
• | generally, the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-PB and Class A-3 certificates and the Class A-3FL regular interest will only be entitled to receive distributions of principal collected or advanced in respect of mortgage loans (or, with respect to The Woodlands Mall mortgage loan, the pooled component only) in loan group 1 until the certificate principal balance of the Class A-1A certificates has been reduced to zero, and the Class A-1A certificates will only be entitled to receive distributions of principal collected or advanced in respect of mortgage loans in loan group 2 until the certificate principal balances of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-PB and Class A-3 certificates and the Class A-3FL regular interest have been reduced to zero; provided, however, the Class A-1, Class A-2 and Class A-3 certificates and the Class A-3FL regular interest will not be entitled to distributions of principal from either loan group 1 or loan group 2 until the certificate principal balance of the Class A-PB certificates is reduced to the planned principal balance set forth on Annex F to this prospectus supplement; | ||
• | principal is distributed to each class of certificates and regular interest entitled to receive distributions of principal in the order described under ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE CERTIFICATES— Distributions’’ in this prospectus supplement; | ||
• | principal is only distributed on a related class of certificates and regular interest to the extent funds remain after the trustee makes all distributions of principal and interest on those classes of certificates with a higher priority of distribution as described under ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE CERTIFICATES—Distributions’’ in this prospectus supplement; | ||
• | generally, no class of certificates or regular interest is entitled to distributions of principal until the certificate balance of each class of certificates and regular interest | ||
S-23
with a higher priority of distribution as described under ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE CERTIFICATES—Distributions’’ in this prospectus supplement has been reduced to zero; | |||
• | in no event will the holders of the Class A-M, Class A-J, Class B, Class C or Class D certificates or the classes of non-offered certificates (excluding the Class A-3FL regular interest) be entitled to receive any payments of principal until the certificate balances of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-PB, Class A-3 and Class A-1A certificates and the Class A-3FL regular interest have all been reduced to zero; and | ||
• | on any distribution date, distributions in reduction of the certificate balance of the Class A-3FL certificates will be made in an amount equal to the amount of principal distributed in respect of the Class A-3FL regular interest. | ||
The amount of principal to be distributed for each distribution date generally will be an amount equal to: | ||
• | the scheduled principal payments (other than balloon payments) due on the mortgage loans included in the trust fund during the related collection period whether or not those scheduled payments are actually received; | ||
• | balloon payments actually received with respect to mortgage loans included in the trust fund during the related collection period; | ||
• | prepayments received with respect to the mortgage loans included in the trust fund during the related collection period; and | ||
• | all liquidation proceeds, insurance proceeds, condemnation awards and repurchase and substitution amounts received during the related collection period that are allocable to principal. | ||
For purposes of making distributions to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-PB, Class A-3 and Class A-1A certificates and the Class A-3FL regular interest, the principal distribution amount for each loan group on any distribution date will be equal to the sum of the collections specified above but only to the extent such amounts relate to the mortgage loans comprising the specified loan group. | ||
However, if the master servicer or the trustee reimburses itself out of general collections on the mortgage pool for any advance that it or the special servicer has determined is not recoverable out of collections on the related mortgage loan (including with respect to The Woodlands Mall non-pooled component), and certain advances that are determined not to be reimbursed currently in connection with the work-out of a mortgage loan (including with respect to The Woodlands | ||
S-24
Mall non-pooled component), then those advances (together with accrued interest thereon) will be deemed, to the fullest extent permitted pursuant to the terms of the pooling and servicing agreement, to be reimbursed first out of payments and other collections of principal otherwise distributable on the principal balance certificates (with respect to The Woodlands Mall mortgage loan, first, out of principal payments and collections distributable on the Class WM certificates, and then, to the extent not sufficient, out of principal payments and collections distributable on the principal balance certificates), prior to, in the case of nonrecoverable advances only, being deemed reimbursed out of payments and other collections of interest otherwise distributable on the offered certificates. | ||
Subordination; Allocation of Losses and Certain Expenses | Credit support for any class of certificates (other than the Class Z, Class R-I, Class R-II and Class WM certificates) is provided by the subordination of payments and allocation of any losses to such classes of certificates which have a later priority of distribution and, with respect to The Woodlands Mall mortgage loan, the Class WM certificates. However, none of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-PB, Class A-3 or Class A-1A certificates or the Class A-3FL regular interest will be subordinate to any other class of Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-PB, Class A-3 or Class A-1A certificates or the Class A-3FL regular interest. The certificate balance of a class of certificates (other than the Class X-C, Class X-P, Class Z, Class R-I and Class R-II certificates) or regular interest will be reduced on each distribution date by any losses on the mortgage loans that have been realized and certain additional trust fund expenses actually allocated to that class of certificates or regular interest on that distribution date. In addition, while mortgage loan losses will not be directly allocated to the Class A-3FL certificates, mortgage loan losses may be allocated to the Class A-3FL regular interest in reduction of the certificate balance of the Class A-3FL regular interest and the amount of its interest entitlement. Any decrease in the certificate balance of the Class A-3FL regular interest will result in a corresponding decrease in the certificate balance of the Class A-3FL certificates, and any interest shortfalls suffered by the Class A-3FL regular interest will reduce the amount of interest distributed on the Class A-3FL certificates, to the extent described in this prospectus supplement. | |
Losses on the mortgage loans that have been realized and additional trust fund expenses will be allocated without regard to loan group and will first be allocated to the certificates (other than the Class A-3FL, Class X-C, Class Z, Class R-I and Class R-II certificates) that are not offered by this prospectus supplement and then to the offered certificates | ||

Any losses realized on the mortgage loans included in the trust fund or additional trust fund expenses allocated in reduction of the certificate balance of any class of sequential pay certificates or regular interest will result in a corresponding reduction in the notional amount of the Class X-C certificates and, with respect to the Class A-2, Class A-PB, Class A-3, Class A-M, Class A-J, Class B, Class C and Class D certificates and Class A-3FL regular interest and portions of the Class A-1 and Class A-1A certificates, a corresponding reduction in the notional amount of the Class X-P certificates. | ||
The portion of any losses and expenses that is allocated to The Woodlands Mall mortgage loan will be allocated to The Woodlands Mall non-pooled component (and, therefore, to the Class WM certificates) until the component principal balance of The Woodlands Mall non-pooled component has been reduced to zero before being allocated among the Series 2006-C26 certificates in the manner described above. | ||
S-26
Any losses and expenses that are associated with each co-lender loan will be allocated in accordance with the related intercreditor agreement. Specifically, with respect to the mortgage loans with one or more pari passu companion loans, any losses and expenses that are associated with the applicable whole loan will be allocated in accordance with the terms of the related intercreditor agreement, generally, pro rata between each related mortgage loan (and therefore to the certificates, other than the Class X-C, Class X-P, Class Z, Class R-I and Class R-II certificates) and the related pari passu companion loan(s). Further, with regard to the mortgage loans with subordinate companion loans, any losses and expenses that are associated with the applicable whole loan will be allocated, in accordance with the terms of the related intercreditor agreement, generally, first, to the subordinate companion loan, and second, to the related mortgage loan. The portions of those losses and expenses that are allocated to the mortgage loans that are included in the trust fund will be allocated among the Series 2006-C26 certificates in the manner described above. | ||
See ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE CERTIFICATES— Subordination; Allocation of Losses and Certain Expenses’’ in this prospectus supplement. | ||
Fees and Expenses | Certain fees and expenses are payable from amounts received on the mortgage loans in the trust fund and are generally distributed prior to any amounts being paid to the holders of the offered certificates. | |
The master servicer is entitled to the master servicing fee which is payable monthly on a loan-by-loan basis from amounts received in respect of interest on each mortgage loan and each specially serviced mortgage loan (and from revenue with respect to each REO mortgage loan). The master servicing fee accrues at the related master servicing fee rate and is computed on the basis of the same principal amount respecting which any related interest payment due on the mortgage loan is computed. The weighted average master servicing fee rate will be approximately 0.0210% per annum as of the cut-off date. | ||
The special servicer is entitled to the special servicing fee which is payable monthly on each mortgage loan that is a specially serviced mortgage loan and each REO mortgage loan from general collections on the mortgage loans. The special servicing fee accrues at a rate equal to 0.25% per annum and is computed on the basis of the same principal amount respecting which any related interest payment due on such specially serviced mortgage loan or REO mortgage loan, as the case may be, is paid. | ||
The special servicer is also entitled to a liquidation fee with respect to each specially serviced mortgage loan that is | ||
S-27
generally an amount equal to 1.00% of any whole or partial cash payments of liquidation proceeds received in respect thereof; provided, however, in no event will the liquidation fee be payable to the extent a workout fee is payable concerning the related cash payments. | ||
The special servicer also is entitled to a workout fee with respect to each mortgage loan that is no longer a specially serviced mortgage loan that is generally equal to 1.00% of all payments of interest and principal received on such mortgage loan for so long as it remains a corrected mortgage loan. | ||
The trustee is entitled to a trustee fee for each mortgage loan and each REO mortgage loan for any distribution date equal to one-twelfth of the product of the trustee fee rate calculated on the outstanding principal amount of the pool of mortgage loans in the trust fund. The trustee fee accrues at a per annum rate equal to 0.0012% on the stated principal balance of such mortgage loan or REO mortgage loan, as the case may be, outstanding immediately following the prior distribution date. | ||
The master servicer, special servicer and trustee are entitled to certain other additional fees and reimbursement of expenses. All fees and expenses will generally be payable prior to distribution on the certificates. | ||
Further information with respect to the fees and expenses payable from distributions to certificateholders, including information regarding the general purpose of and the source of payment for the fees and expenses, is set forth under ‘‘SERVICING OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS— Compensation and Payment of Expenses’’ in this prospectus supplement. | ||
Prepayment Premiums; Yield Maintenance Charges | On each distribution date, any prepayment premium or yield maintenance charge actually collected during the related collection period on a mortgage loan included in the trust fund or, with respect to The Woodlands Mall mortgage loan, the portion of such loan allocated to The Woodlands Mall pooled component, will be distributed to the holders of each class of offered certificates, the Class A-3FL regular interest and the Class E, Class F, Class G and Class H certificates then entitled to distributions as follows: | |
The holders of each class of offered certificates, the Class A-3FL regular interest and the Class E, Class F, Class G and Class H certificates then entitled to distributions of principal with respect to the related loan group on that distribution date will generally be entitled to a portion of prepayment premiums or yield maintenance charges equal to the product of: | ||
S-28
• | the amount of those prepayment premiums or yield maintenance charges; | ||
• | a fraction (in no event greater than one), the numerator of which is equal to the excess, if any, of the pass-through rate of that class of certificates over the relevant discount rate, and the denominator of which is equal to the excess, if any, of the mortgage interest rate of the prepaid mortgage loan over the relevant discount rate; and | ||
• | a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the amount of principal distributable on that class of certificates on that distribution date, and the denominator of which is the principal distribution amount for that distribution date. | ||
If there is more than one class of certificates (or regular interest) entitled to distributions of principal with respect to the related loan group on any particular distribution date on which a prepayment premium or yield maintenance charge is distributable, the aggregate amount of that prepayment premium or yield maintenance charge will be allocated among all such classes up to, and on a pro rata basis in accordance with, the foregoing entitlements. | ||
For so long as the swap contract is in effect and there is no continuing payment default under the swap contract, any prepayment premium or yield maintenance charge distributable in respect of the Class A-3FL regular interest will be payable to the swap counterparty pursuant to the terms of the swap contract. If the swap contract is no longer in effect or if there is a continuing payment default related to the swap contract, any prepayment premium and yield maintenance charges allocable to the Class A-3FL regular interest will be paid to the holders of the Class A-3FL certificates. | ||
The portion, if any, of the prepayment premiums or yield maintenance charges remaining after any payments described above will be distributed as follows: (a) on or before the distribution date in June 2013, 17% to the holders of the Class X-P certificates and 83% to the holders of the Class X-C certificates and (b) thereafter, 100% to the holders of the Class X-C certificates. | ||
The ‘‘discount rate’’ applicable to any class of offered certificates, the Class A-3FL regular interest and the Class E, Class F, Class G and Class H certificates will be equal to the discount rate stated in the related mortgage loan documents used in calculating the yield maintenance charge with respect to such principal prepayment. To the extent that a discount rate is not stated therein, the discount rate will equal the yield (when compounded monthly) on the U.S. Treasury issue with a maturity date closest to the maturity date for the | ||
S-29
prepaid mortgage loan or mortgage loan for which title to the related mortgaged property was acquired by the trust fund. | ||
• | In the event that there are two or more such U.S. Treasury issues with the same coupon, the issue with the lowest yield will be utilized; and | ||
• | In the event that there are two or more such U.S. Treasury issues with maturity dates equally close to the maturity date for the prepaid mortgage loan, the issue with the earliest maturity date will be utilized. | ||

8%-5% | ||||||||||||
Any yield maintenance charges allocable to the non-pooled component of The Woodlands Mall mortgage loan will be distributed to the holders of the Class WM certificates. | ||
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a prepayment of the Chemed Center Fee mortgage loan resulting from a default under the Chemed Center Leasehold mortgage loan and subsequent exercise of the related ground lessee's purchase option by the mortgagee under the Chemed Center Leasehold mortgage loan, no prepayment premium or yield maintenance charge received in connection with such a prepayment (if any) will be distributed to the holders of the offered certificates, the Class A-3FL regular interest or the Class E, Class F, Class G and Class H certificates. | ||
See ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE CERTIFICATES— Distributions—Allocation of Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges’’ and ‘‘—The Class WM Certificates and ‘‘The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component’’ in this prospectus supplement. | ||
Allocation of Additional Interest | On each distribution date, any additional interest collected in respect of a mortgage loan in the trust fund with an anticipated repayment date during the related collection period will be distributed to the holders of the Class Z certificates. In each case, this interest will not be available to provide credit support for other classes of certificates or offset any interest shortfalls. | |
S-30
Advancing of Principal and Interest | The master servicer is required to advance delinquent scheduled payments of principal and interest with respect to any mortgage loan included in the trust fund unless the master servicer or the special servicer determines that the advance would not be recoverable from proceeds of the related mortgage loan. The master servicer will not be required to advance balloon payments due at maturity in excess of regular periodic payments, interest in excess of the mortgage loan’s regular interest rate or prepayment premiums or yield maintenance charges. The amount of the interest portion of any advance will be subject to reduction to the extent that an appraisal reduction of the related mortgage loan has occurred. In addition, the master servicer will be required to make interest advances, but not principal advances, with respect to delinquent scheduled payments on The Woodlands Mall non-pooled component unless the master servicer determines that this advance would not be recoverable from the proceeds of The Woodlands Mall whole loan (i.e., both the related pooled and non-pooled component). If the master servicer fails to make a required advance, the trustee will be required to make that advance, unless the trustee determines that the advance would not be recoverable from proceeds of the related mortgage loan. See ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE CERTIFICATES—P&I Advances’’ in this prospectus supplement. | |
These cash advances are only intended to maintain a regular flow of scheduled principal and interest payments on the certificates and are not intended to guarantee or insure against losses. In other words, the advances are intended to provide liquidity (rather than credit enhancement) to certificateholders. To the extent described in this prospectus supplement, the trust fund will pay interest to the master servicer or the trustee, as the case may be, on the amount of any principal and interest cash advance (including on interest advances, but not principal advances, with respect to The Woodlands Mall non-pooled component) calculated at the prime rate (provided that no principal and/or interest cash advance shall accrue interest until after the expiration of any applicable grace or cure period for the related scheduled payment) and will reimburse the master servicer or the trustee for any principal and interest cash advances that are later determined to be not recoverable. Any principal and/or interest advance on any pari passu companion loan will not be recoverable by the master servicer from the trust fund. Neither the master servicer nor the trustee will be required to make a principal and/or interest advance with respect to any subordinate companion loan. Additionally, the trustee will not be required to make a principal and interest advance with respect to any companion loan. Neither the master servicer nor the trustee will be required to advance any amounts due to be paid by the swap counterparty for a distribution to the | ||
S-31
Class A-3FL certificates or be liable for any breakage, termination or other costs owed by the trust fund to the swap counterparty. See ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE CERTIFICATES—P&I Advances’’ in this prospectus supplement. | ||
Required Repurchases or Substitutions of Mortgage Loans | Under certain circumstances, a mortgage loan seller may be obligated to repurchase an affected mortgage loan from the trust fund as a result of a material document defect or a material breach of the representations and warranties given by such mortgage loan seller with respect to the mortgage loan in the related mortgage loan purchase agreement. In addition, the mortgage loan seller may be permitted, within 2 years of the closing date, to substitute another mortgage loan for the affected mortgage loan rather than repurchasing it. See ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE MORTGAGE POOL— Assignment of the Mortgage Loans; Repurchases and Substitutions’’ and ‘‘—Representations and Warranties; Repurchases and Substitutions’’ in this prospectus supplement. | |
Sale of Defaulted Loans | In the event a mortgage loan becomes a defaulted mortgage loan, the certificateholder that is entitled to greater than 50% of the voting rights allocated to the class of sequential pay certificates with the lowest payment priority then outstanding (or if no certificateholder is entitled to greater than 50% of the voting rights of such class, the certificateholder with the largest percentage of voting rights allocated to such class) and, in certain circumstances, the special servicer (in each case, subject to, in certain instances, the rights of the subordinated secured creditors or mezzanine lenders to purchase the related mortgage loan), have the option to purchase from the trust fund such defaulted mortgage loan with respect to which certain defaults have occurred. See ‘‘SERVICING OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS—Defaulted Mortgage Loans; REO Properties; Purchase Options Loans’’ in this prospectus supplement. | |
Optional Termination of the Trust Fund | The trust fund may be terminated when the aggregate principal balance of the mortgage loans included in the trust fund (including the non-pooled component of The Woodlands Mall mortgage loan) is less than 1.0% of the aggregate principal balance of the pool of mortgage loans (including the non-pooled component of The Woodlands Mall mortgage loan) included in the trust fund as of the cut-off date. See ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE CERTIFICATES—Termination’’ in this prospectus supplement and in the accompanying prospectus. | |
S-32
The trust fund may also be terminated when the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-PB, Class A-3, Class A-1A, Class A-M, Class A-J, Class B, Class C and Class D certificates and Class A-3FL regular interests have been paid in full and all of the remaining certificates (other than the Class Z, Class R-I, Class R-II and Class WM certificates) are held by a single certificateholder. See ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE CERTIFICATES— Termination’’ in this prospectus supplement. | ||
Registration and Denomination | The offered certificates will initially be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for The Depository Trust Company in the United States, or in Europe through Clearstream Banking société anonyme or Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V., as operator of the Euroclear System. You will not receive a definitive certificate representing your interest in the trust fund, except in the limited circumstances described in the accompanying prospectus. See ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE CERTIFICATES—Book-Entry Registration and Definitive Certificates’’ in the accompanying prospectus. | |
Beneficial interests in the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-PB, Class A-3, Class A-1A, Class A-M, Class A-J, Class B, Class C and Class D certificates will be offered in minimum denominations of $10,000 actual principal amounts and in integral multiples of $1 in excess of those amounts. Beneficial interests in the Class X-P certificates will be offered in minimum notional amounts of $1,000,000 actual notional amounts and in integral multiples of $1 in excess of those amounts. | ||
Material Federal Income Tax Consequences | Two separate real estate mortgage investment conduit elections will be made with respect to most of the trust fund (‘‘REMIC I’’ and ‘‘REMIC II’’). In addition, a separate REMIC election will also be made with respect to The Woodlands Mall mortgage loan (‘‘The Woodlands Mall Loan REMIC’’). Each of REMIC I, REMIC II and The Woodlands Mall Loan REMIC is referred to herein as a ‘‘REMIC’’ and, collectively, the ‘‘REMICs’’. The offered certificates and the Class A-3FL regular interest will evidence regular interests in a REMIC and generally will be treated as debt instruments of that REMIC. The Class R-I certificates will represent the residual interests in The Woodlands Mall Loan REMIC and REMIC I, and the Class R-II certificates will represent the residual interests in REMIC II. The Class A-3FL certificates will represent an undivided interest in a portion of the trust fund that is treated as a grantor trust for United States federal income tax purposes. The grantor trust will include the Class A-3FL regular interest, the floating rate account and the beneficial interest of the Class A-3FL certificates in | |
S-33
the swap contract. The Class A-3FL certificates are not being offered by this prospectus supplement. | ||
In addition, the Class Z certificateholders’ entitlement to any additional interest that has accrued on a related mortgage loan that provides for the accrual of that additional interest if the unamortized principal amount of that mortgage loan is not repaid on the anticipated repayment date set forth in the related mortgage note will be treated as a grantor trust (as described in the related prospectus) for federal income tax purposes. | ||
The offered certificates and the Class A-3FL regular interest will be treated as newly originated debt instruments for federal income tax purposes. You will be required to report income with respect to the offered certificates using the accrual method of accounting, even if you otherwise use the cash method of accounting. It is anticipated that the Class certificates will be treated as having been issued at a premium, the Class X-P Certificates will be issued with original issue discount, and that the Class certificates will be treated as having been issued with a de minimis amount of original issue discount for federal income tax reporting purposes. | ||
For further information regarding the federal income tax consequences of investing in the offered certificates, see ‘‘MATERIAL FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES’’ in this prospectus supplement and in the accompanying prospectus. | ||
ERISA Considerations | Subject to important considerations described under ‘‘ERISA CONSIDERATIONS’’ in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, the following classes of offered certificates may be eligible for purchase by persons investing assets of employee benefit plans, individual retirement accounts, or other retirement plans and accounts: | |
Class A-1 Class A-2 Class A-PB Class A-3 Class A-1A Class X-P Class A-M Class A-J Class B Class C Class D | |||

in this prospectus supplement and in the accompanying prospectus. | ||
Legal Investment | The offered certificates will not constitute ‘‘mortgage related securities’’ for purposes of the Secondary Mortgage Market Enhancement Act of 1984, as amended (‘‘SMMEA’’). If your investment activities are subject to legal investment laws and regulations, regulatory capital requirements, or review by regulatory authorities, then you may be subject to restrictions on investment in the offered certificates. You should consult your own legal advisers for assistance in determining the suitability of and consequences to you of the purchase, ownership and sale of the offered certificates. See ‘‘LEGAL INVESTMENT’’ in this prospectus supplement and in the accompanying prospectus. | |
Ratings | The offered certificates will not be issued unless they have received the following ratings from Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc.: | |
Class | Expected Rating from S&P/Moody’s | ||
Class A-1 | AAA/Aaa | ||

The ratings on the offered certificates address the likelihood of timely receipt of interest and ultimate receipt of principal by the rated final distribution date by the holders of offered certificates. They do not address the likely actual rate of prepayments. The rate of prepayments, if different than originally anticipated, could adversely affect the yield realized by holders of the offered certificates. See ‘‘RATINGS’’ in this prospectus supplement and in the accompanying prospectus for a discussion of the basis upon which ratings are given, the limitations and restrictions on the ratings, and conclusions that should not be drawn from a rating. | ||
THE MORTGAGE LOANS
General | It is expected that the mortgage loans to be included in the trust fund will have the following approximate characteristics as of the cut-off date. The information contained in this prospectus supplement assumes the timely delivery of all | |
S-35
scheduled payments of interest and principal and no prepayments on or before the cut-off date. All information presented in this prospectus supplement (including cut-off date balance per square foot/unit/room/pad/bed, loan-to-value ratios and debt service coverage ratios) with respect to 4 mortgage loans with subordinate companion loans is calculated without regard to the related subordinate companion loans. Unless otherwise specified, in the case of the mortgage loan with a pari passu companion loan, the calculations of cut-off date balance per square foot/unit/room/pad/bed, loan-to-value ratio and debt service coverage ratio were based on the aggregate indebtedness of the mortgage loan (excluding The Woodlands Mall non-pooled component) and the related pari passu companion loan (but not the subordinate companion loan). With respect to loan number 1, unless otherwise specified, the calculations of loan balance per square foot, loan-to-value ratios and debt service coverage ratios were based on the aggregate indebtedness of this mortgage loan (excluding The Woodlands Mall non-pooled component) and the subordinate companion loan. All percentages of the mortgage loans, or any specified group of mortgage loans, referred to in this prospectus supplement are approximate percentages. | ||

(5) | For purposes of determining the LTV ratios for 9 mortgage loans (loan numbers 3, 4, 10, 11, 13, 15, 19, 28 and 69), representing 17.7% of the mortgage pool (7 mortgage loans in loan group 1 or 18.2% and 2 mortgage loans in loan group 2 or 13.7%), such ratios were calculated using ‘‘as stabilized’’ appraised values as opposed to ‘‘as is’’ values. See ‘‘RISK FACTORS—Inspections and Appraisals May Not Accurately Reflect Value or Condition of Mortgaged Property’’ in this prospectus supplement. | ||
(6) | For purposes of determining the DSC ratios for 8 mortgage loans (loan numbers 16, 24, 31, 42, 63, 78, 81 and 82), representing 5.4% of the mortgage pool (6 mortgage loans in loan group 1 or 5.1% and 2 mortgage loans in loan group 2 or 7.1%), such ratios were adjusted by taking into account amounts available under certain letters of credit and/or cash reserves. | ||
(7) | Does not include 11 mortgage loans secured by hospitality properties, representing 8.6% of the mortgage pool (9.9% in loan group 1). In certain cases, occupancy includes space for which leases have been executed, but the tenant has not taken occupancy. | ||
Non-Pooled Component and Class WM Certificates | The Woodlands Mall mortgage loan will be deemed to be split into a senior pooled component, with a principal balance of $175,000,000, representing 10.1% of the mortgage pool (11.7% of loan group 1), that supports distributions on the certificates (other than the Class WM certificates) and a subordinate non-pooled component, with a principal balance | |
S-37
of $10,000,000, that supports distributions only on the Class WM certificates, which are not being offered hereby. The aggregate principal balance of The Woodlands Mall mortgage loan (including the non-pooled component of The Woodlands Mall mortgage loan) as of the cut-off date will be $240,000,000. See ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE MORTGAGE POOL—Twenty Largest Mortgage Loans—The Woodlands Mall’’ in this prospectus supplement. All principal and interest collections on The Woodlands Mall mortgage loan will be distributed as described in this prospectus supplement and as more particularly described in the pooling and servicing agreement. See ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE MORTGAGE POOL—Twenty Largest Mortgage Loans—The Woodlands Mall’’ and Annex D to this prospectus supplement. For purposes of the statistical information in this prospectus supplement, unless otherwise noted, all numbers and statistical information include only the pooled component of The Woodlands Mall mortgage loan. Generally, the subordination of the non-pooled component of The Woodlands Mall mortgage loan decreases the loan-to-value ratio and increases the debt service coverage ratio of the pooled component of The Woodlands Mall mortgage loan included as a ‘‘mortgage loan’’ herein because those ratios are based only on the pooled component of The Woodlands Mall mortgage loan. All principal and interest collections on The Woodlands Mall mortgage loan will be allocated between the pooled component and non-pooled component as described in ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE CERTIFICATES—Distributions—The Class WM Certificates and The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component’’ in this prospectus supplement. Interest on the pooled component and non-pooled component will accrue on the balance of such component at a per annum rate equal to the net mortgage rate in effect for The Woodlands Mall mortgage loan as of the beginning of the related collection period. | ||
Although the non-pooled component of The Woodlands Mall mortgage loan will be part of the trust fund, such component supports only the Class WM certificates, which certificates are not being offered pursuant to this prospectus supplement. | ||
Security for the Mortgage Loans in the Trust Fund | Generally, all of the mortgage loans included in the trust fund are non-recourse obligations of the related borrowers. | |
• | No mortgage loan included in the trust fund is insured or guaranteed by any government agency or private insurer. | ||
• | All of the mortgage loans included in the trust fund are secured by first lien fee mortgages and/or leasehold mortgages on commercial properties or multifamily properties. | ||

Payment Terms | All of the mortgage loans included in the trust fund accrue interest at a fixed rate, other than mortgage loans providing for an anticipated repayment date, which provide for an increase of fixed interest after a certain date. | |
• | Payments on the mortgage loans included in the trust fund are due on the 11th day of the month. No mortgage loan has a grace period that extends payment beyond the 11th day of any calendar month (other than 1 mortgage loan, which has a once-per-year grace period that may extend payment until the 14th day of any calendar month). | ||
• | As of the cut-off date, all of the mortgage loans accrue interest on an actual/360 basis. Fifty (50) of the mortgage loans, representing 51.6% of the mortgage pool (37 mortgage loans in loan group 1 or 50.1% and 13 mortgage loans in loan group 2 or 61.5%), have periods during which only interest is due and periods in which principal and interest are due. Twenty-two (22) of the mortgage loans, representing 26.6% of the mortgage pool (19 mortgage loans in loan group 1 or 27.2% and 3 mortgage loans in loan group 2 or 22.7%), provide that only interest is due until maturity or the anticipated repayment date. | ||

Balloon loans have amortization schedules significantly longer than their terms to maturity and have substantial principal payments due on their maturity dates, unless prepaid earlier. | ||
Mortgage loans providing for anticipated repayment dates generally fully or substantially amortize through their terms to maturity. However, if this type of mortgage loan is not prepaid by a date specified in its related mortgage note, interest will accrue at a higher rate and the related borrower will be required to apply all cash flow generated by the mortgaged property in excess of its regular debt service payments and certain other permitted expenses and reserves to repay principal on the mortgage loan. | ||
In addition, because the fixed periodic payment on the mortgage loans is determined assuming interest is calculated on a ‘‘30/360 basis,’’ but interest actually accrues and is applied on the majority of the mortgage loans on an ‘‘actual/360 basis,’’ there will be less amortization, absent prepayments, of the principal balance during the term of the related mortgage loan, resulting in a higher final payment on such mortgage loan. This will occur even if a mortgage loan is a ‘‘fully amortizing’’ mortgage loan. | ||
See ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE MORTGAGE POOL— Certain Terms and Conditions of the Mortgage Loans’’ in this prospectus supplement. | ||
Prepayment Restrictions | All of the mortgage loans included in the trust fund restrict or prohibit voluntary prepayments of principal in some manner for some period of time. | |

See ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE MORTGAGE POOL— Additional Mortgage Loan Information’’ in this prospectus supplement. The ability of the master servicer or special servicer to waive or modify the terms of any mortgage loan relating to the payment of a prepayment premium or yield maintenance charge will be limited as described in this prospectus supplement. See ‘‘SERVICING OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS—Modifications, Waivers and Amendments’’ in this prospectus supplement. We make no representations as to the enforceability of the provisions of any mortgage notes requiring the payment of a prepayment premium or yield maintenance charge or limiting prepayments to defeasance or the ability of the master servicer or special servicer to collect any prepayment premium or yield maintenance charge. | ||
Defeasance | Ninety-four (94) of the mortgage loans included in the trust fund as of the cut-off date, representing 84.7% of the mortgage pool (76 mortgage loans in loan group 1 or 86.8% and 18 mortgage loans in loan group 2 or 71.4%), permit the borrower, under certain conditions, to substitute United States government obligations as collateral for the related mortgage loans (or a portion thereof) following their respective lock-out periods. Upon substitution, the related mortgaged property (or, in the case of a mortgage loan secured by multiple mortgaged properties, one or more of such mortgaged properties) will no longer secure the related mortgage loan. The payments on the defeasance collateral are required to be at least equal to an amount sufficient to make, when due, all payments on the related mortgage loan or allocated to the related mortgaged property; provided that in the case of certain mortgage loans, these defeasance payments may cease at the beginning of the open prepayment period with respect to that mortgage loan, and the final payment on the defeasance collateral on that prepayment date would be required to fully prepay the mortgage loan. Defeasance may not occur prior to the second anniversary of the issuance of the certificates. See ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE MORTGAGE POOL—Certain Terms and Conditions of the Mortgage Loans—Prepayment Provisions’’ in this prospectus supplement. | |
Twenty Largest Mortgage Loans | The following table describes certain characteristics of the twenty largest mortgage loans or groups of cross collateralized mortgage loans in the trust fund by aggregate principal balance as of the cut-off date. With respect to the mortgage loan referred to as The Woodlands Mall mortgage loan in the immediately following table, the cut-off date balance per square foot, the debt service coverage ratio and the loan-to-value ratios set forth in such table, in each case, is based on the principal balance of The Woodlands Mall mortgage loan (excluding the non-pooled component of The Woodlands | |
S-46
Mall mortgage loan). With respect to the mortgage loan referred to as the Prime Outlets Pool II mortgage loan in the immediately following table, the cut-off date balance per square foot, the debt service coverage ratio and the loan-to-value ratios set forth in such table are based on the aggregate combined principal balance or combined debt service, as the case may be, of the Prime Outlets Pool II mortgage loan and its related pari passu companion loan, but not its related subordinate companion loan. No companion loans are included in the trust fund. | ||

(1) | With respect to The Woodlands Mall mortgage loan, unless otherwise specified, the calculations of LTV ratios, DSC ratio and cut-off date balance per square foot were based on the pooled component only and exclude the non-pooled component. |
(2) | The Prime Outlets Pool II mortgage loan is part of a split loan structure that includes one pari passu companion loan and one subordinate companion loan that are not included in the trust fund. With respect to the Prime Outlets Pool II mortgage loan, unless otherwise specified, the calculations of LTV ratios, DSC ratio and cut-off date balance per square foot are based on the aggregate indebtedness of the Prime Outlets Pool II mortgage loan and the related pari passu companion loan, but not its related subordinate companion loan. |
(3) | With respect to 1 mortgage loan (loan number 16), the DSC ratio was adjusted by taking into account an amount available under certain letters of credit and/or in cash reserves. |
(4) | The appraised value for the mortgaged properties with respect to 7 mortgage loans (loan numbers 3, 4, 10, 11, 13, 15 and 19) are based on an ‘‘as-stabilized’’ basis.

Co-Lender Loans | Four (4) mortgage loans to be included in the trust fund that were originated by Wachovia Bank, National Association, representing approximately 25.2% of the aggregate principal balance of the pool of mortgage loans as of the cut-off date (4 mortgage loans in loan group 1 or 29.0%) are, in each case, evidenced by one of two or more notes which are secured by one or more mortgaged real properties. In each case, the related companion loan or companion loans will not be part of the trust fund. | |
One (1) mortgage loan, the Prime Outlets Pool II mortgage loan (loan number 2), is part of a split loan structure where two companion loans are part of this split loan structure, one of which is pari passu in right of entitlement to payment with the related mortgage loan and the other of which is subordinate to the related mortgage loan and the related pari passu loan. The remaining co-lender loans (loan numbers 1, 4 and 5) are part of split loan structures in which the related companion loan is subordinate to the related mortgage loan. In each case, the related companion loan or companion loans will not be part of the trust fund. Each of these mortgage loans and its related companion loan or companion loans are subject to intercreditor agreements. | ||
The Woodlands Mall mortgage loan is further divided into a pooled component that is included as part of the mortgage pool and available for payments on the 2006-C26 certificates to the extent described in this prospectus supplement and a non-pooled component that is also included as part of the mortgage pool, but is available for payments on the Class WM certificates only. | ||
The intercreditor agreement for the Prime Outlets Pool II mortgage loan relating to the pari passu companion loan generally allocates collections in respect of such whole loan to the related mortgage loan and the respective pari passu companion loan, on a pro rata basis. The intercreditor agreements for each of the mortgage loans that are part of a split loan structure that includes subordinate companion loans generally allocate collections in respect of that mortgage loan, first, to the related mortgage loan (and pari passu companion loan, if applicable), and then, to the related subordinate companion loan. No companion loan is included in the trust fund. | ||
The master servicer and special servicer will service and administer each of these mortgage loans and its related companion loans pursuant to the pooling and servicing agreement and the related intercreditor agreement, for so long as the related mortgage loan is part of the trust fund. | ||
Amounts attributable to any companion loan will not be assets of the trust fund and will be beneficially owned by the holder of such companion loan. See ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF | ||
S-48
THE MORTGAGE POOL—Co-Lender Loans’’ in this prospectus supplement. | ||
See ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE MORTGAGE POOL— Co-Lender Loans’’ and ‘‘SERVICING OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS’’ in this prospectus supplement for a description of certain rights of the holders of these companion loans to direct or consent to the servicing of the related mortgage loans. | ||
In addition to the mortgage loans described above, certain of the mortgaged properties or the equity interests in the related borrowers are subject to, or are permitted to become subject to, additional debt. In certain cases, this additional debt is secured by the related mortgaged properties. See ‘‘RISK FACTORS—The Mortgage Loans—Additional Debt on Some Mortgage Loans Creates Additional Risks’’ in this prospectus supplement. | ||
S-49
RISK FACTORS
• | You should carefully consider, among other things, the following risk factors (as well as the risk factors set forth under ‘‘RISK FACTORS’’ in the accompanying prospectus) before making your investment decision. Additional risks are described elsewhere in this prospectus supplement under separate headings in connection with discussions regarding particular aspects of the mortgage loans included in the trust fund or the certificates. |
• | The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones relating to your certificates. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair your investment. |
• | This prospectus supplement contains forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including risks described below and elsewhere in this prospectus supplement. |
• | If any of the following risks are realized, your investment could be materially and adversely affected. |
• | In connection with the risks and uncertainties described below which may relate to certain of the mortgage loans, or the mortgage pool in general, examples are given with respect to particular risks and particular mortgage loans. The fact that examples are given should not be interpreted to mean that the examples reflect all of the mortgage loans in the trust fund to which the risk is applicable. |
The Offered Certificates
Only Mortgage Loans Are Available to Pay You | Neither the offered certificates nor the mortgage loans will be guaranteed or insured by us or any of our affiliates, by any governmental agency or instrumentality or by any other person. If the assets of the trust fund, primarily the mortgage loans, are insufficient to make payments on the offered certificates, no other assets will be available for payment of the deficiency. See ‘‘RISK FACTORS—The Assets of the Trust Fund May Not Be Sufficient to Pay Your Certificates’’ in the accompanying prospectus. | |
Prepayments Will Affect Your Yield | Prepayments. The yield to maturity on the offered certificates will depend on the rate and timing of principal payments (including both voluntary prepayments, in the case of mortgage loans that permit voluntary prepayment, and involuntary prepayments, such as prepayments resulting from casualty or condemnation, defaults, liquidations or repurchases for breaches of representations or warranties or other sales of defaulted mortgage loans which, in either case, may not require any accompanying prepayment premium or yield maintenance charge) on the mortgage loans included in the trust fund and how such payments are allocated among the offered certificates entitled to distributions of principal. | |
In addition, upon the occurrence of certain limited events, a party may be required or permitted to repurchase or purchase a mortgage loan from the trust fund and the money paid would be passed through to the holders of the certificates with the same effect as if such mortgage loan had been prepaid in full (except that no prepayment premium or yield maintenance charge would be payable with respect to a purchase or repurchase). In addition, certain mortgage loans | ||
S-50
may permit prepayment without an accompanying prepayment premium or yield maintenance charge if the mortgagee elects to apply casualty or condemnation proceeds to the mortgage loan. We cannot make any representation as to the anticipated rate of prepayments (voluntary or involuntary) on the mortgage loans or as to the anticipated yield to maturity of any certificate. | ||
In addition, because the amount of principal that will be distributed to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-PB, Class A-3 and Class A-1A certificates and the Class A-3FL regular interest will generally be based upon the particular loan group in which the related mortgage loan is deemed to be a part, the yield on the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-PB and Class A-3 certificates and the Class A-3FL regular interest will be particularly sensitive to prepayments on mortgage loans in loan group 1 and the yield on the Class A-1A certificates will be particularly sensitive to prepayments on mortgage loans in loan group 2. | ||
See ‘‘YIELD AND MATURITY CONSIDERATIONS’’ in this prospectus supplement and ‘‘YIELD CONSIDERATIONS’’ in the accompanying prospectus. | ||
Yield. In general, if you purchase an offered certificate at a premium and principal distributions on that offered certificate occur at a rate faster than you anticipated at the time of purchase, and no prepayment premiums or yield maintenance charges are collected, your actual yield to maturity may be lower than you had predicted at the time of purchase. Conversely, if you purchase an offered certificate at a discount and principal distributions on that offered certificate occur at a rate slower than you anticipated at the time of purchase, your actual yield to maturity may be lower than you had predicted at the time of purchase. | ||
The yield on the Class A-3, Class A-1A, Class A-M, Class A-J, Class B, Class C and Class D certificates could be adversely affected if mortgage loans with higher mortgage interest rates pay faster than mortgage loans with lower mortgage interest rates, since those classes bear interest at a rate equal to, based upon or limited by the weighted average net mortgage rate of the mortgage loans. In addition, because there can be no assurances with respect to losses, prepayments and performance of the mortgage loans, there can be no assurance that distributions of principal on the Class A-PB certificates will be made in conformity with the schedule attached on Annex F to this prospectus supplement. | ||
Interest Rate Environment. Mortgagors generally are less likely to prepay if prevailing interest rates are at or above the rates borne by their mortgage loans. On the other hand, mortgagors are generally more likely to prepay if prevailing interest rates fall significantly below the mortgage interest rates of their mortgage loans. Mortgagors are generally less likely to prepay mortgage loans with a lockout period, yield | ||
S-51
maintenance charge or prepayment premium provision, to the extent enforceable, than similar mortgage loans without such provisions, with shorter lockout periods or with lower yield maintenance charges or prepayment premiums. | ||
Performance Escrows. In connection with the origination of some of the mortgage loans, the related borrowers were required to escrow funds or post a letter of credit related to obtaining certain performance objectives. In general, such funds will be released to the related borrower upon the satisfaction of certain conditions. If the conditions are not satisfied, although the master servicer will be directed in the pooling and servicing agreement (in accordance with the servicing standard) to hold the escrows, letters of credit or proceeds of such letters of credit as additional collateral and not use the funds to reduce the principal balance of the related mortgage loan, in the event such funds are required to be used to reduce the principal balance of such mortgage loans, such amounts will be passed through to the holders of the certificates as principal prepayments. | ||
Premiums. Provisions requiring prepayment premiums and yield maintenance charges may not be enforceable in some states and under federal bankruptcy law, and may constitute interest for usury purposes. Accordingly, we cannot provide assurance that the obligation to pay that premium or charge will be enforceable or, if enforceable, that the foreclosure proceeds will be sufficient to pay such prepayment premium or yield maintenance charge. Additionally, although the collateral substitution provisions related to defeasance are not intended to be, and do not have the same effect on the certificateholders as a prepayment, we cannot provide assurance that a court would not interpret such provisions as requiring a prepayment premium or yield maintenance charge and possibly determine that such provisions are unenforceable or usurious under applicable law. Prepayment premiums and yield maintenance charges are generally not charged for prepayments resulting from casualty or condemnation and would not be paid in connection with repurchases of mortgage loans for breaches of representations or warranties or a material document defect. No prepayment premium or yield maintenance charge will be required for prepayments in connection with a casualty or condemnation unless, in the case of certain of the mortgage loans, an event of default has occurred and is continuing. | ||
Pool Concentrations. Principal payments (including prepayments) on the mortgage loans included in the trust fund or in a particular group will occur at different rates. In addition, mortgaged properties can be released from the trust fund as a result of prepayments, defeasance, repurchases, casualties or condemnations. As a result, the aggregate balance of the mortgage loans concentrated in various property types in the trust fund or in a particular loan group changes over time. You therefore may be exposed to varying | ||
S-52
concentration risks as the mixture of property types and relative principal balance of the mortgage loans associated with certain property types changes. See the table entitled ‘‘Range of Remaining Terms to Maturity or Anticipated Repayment Date for all Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-Off Date’’ in Annex B to this prospectus supplement for a description of the respective maturity dates of the mortgage loans included in the trust fund and in each loan group. Because principal on the certificates (other than the Class X-C, Class X-P, Class Z, Class R-I, Class R-II and Class WM certificates) and the Class A-3FL regular interest is payable in sequential order to the extent described under ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE CERTIFICATES— Distributions’’ in this prospectus supplement, classes that have a lower priority of distributions are more likely to be exposed to the risk of changing concentrations discussed under ‘‘—The Mortgage Loans—Special Risks Associated With High Balance Mortgage Loans’’ below than classes with a higher sequential priority. | ||
Optional Early Termination of the Trust Fund May Result in an Adverse Impact on Your Yield or May Result in a Loss | The offered certificates will be subject to optional early termination by means of the purchase of the mortgage loans in the trust fund. We cannot assure you that the proceeds from a sale of the mortgage loans will be sufficient to distribute the outstanding certificate balance plus accrued interest and any undistributed shortfalls in interest accrued on the certificates that are subject to the termination. Accordingly, the holders of offered certificates affected by such a termination may suffer an adverse impact on the overall yield on their certificates, may experience repayment of their investment at an unpredictable and inopportune time or may even incur a loss on their investment. See ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE CERTIFICATES— Termination’’ in this prospectus supplement. | |
Borrower Defaults May Adversely Affect Your Yield | The aggregate amount of distributions on the offered certificates, the yield to maturity of the offered certificates, the rate of principal payments on the offered certificates and the weighted average life of the offered certificates will be affected by the rate and timing of delinquencies and defaults on the mortgage loans included in the trust fund. Delinquencies on the mortgage loans included in the trust fund, if the delinquent amounts are not advanced, may result in shortfalls in distributions of interest and/or principal to the offered certificates for the current month. Any late payments received on or in respect of the mortgage loans will be distributed to the certificates in the priorities described more fully in this prospectus supplement, but no interest will accrue on such shortfall during the period of time such payment is delinquent. | |
S-53
If you calculate your anticipated yield based on an assumed default rate and an assumed amount of losses on the mortgage pool that are lower than the default rate and the amount of losses actually experienced, and if such losses are allocated to your class of certificates, your actual yield to maturity will be lower than the yield so calculated and could, under certain scenarios, be negative. The timing of any loss on a liquidated mortgage loan also will affect the actual yield to maturity of the offered certificates to which all or a portion of such loss is allocable, even if the rate of defaults and severity of losses are consistent with your expectations. In general, the earlier you bear a loss, the greater the effect on your yield to maturity. See ‘‘YIELD AND MATURITY CONSIDERATIONS’’ in this prospectus supplement and ‘‘YIELD CONSIDERATIONS’’ in the accompanying prospectus. | ||
Even if losses on the mortgage loans included in the trust fund are allocated to a particular class of offered certificates, such losses may affect the weighted average life and yield to maturity of other certificates. Losses on the mortgage loans, to the extent not allocated to such class of offered certificates, may result in a higher percentage ownership interest evidenced by such certificates than would otherwise have resulted absent such loss. The consequent effect on the weighted average life and yield to maturity of the offered certificates will depend upon the characteristics of the remaining mortgage loans. | ||
Additional Compensation and Certain Reimbursements to the Servicer Will Affect Your Right to Receive Distributions | To the extent described in this prospectus supplement, the master servicer or the trustee, as applicable, will be entitled to receive interest on unreimbursed advances and unreimbursed servicing expenses. See ‘‘RISK FACTORS—Additional Compensation and Certain Reimbursements to the Servicer Will Affect Your Right to Receive Distributions’’ in the accompanying prospectus. | |
Amounts in respect of the non-pooled component of The Woodlands Mall mortgage loan are not available for distributions on the certificates (other than the Class WM certificates), nor are they available for the reimbursement of nonrecoverable advances of principal and interest on the certificates (other than the Class WM certificates) to the extent such amounts are unrelated to The Woodlands Mall mortgage loan. Nevertheless, if an advance by the master servicer or the trustee on the non-pooled component of The Woodlands Mall mortgage loan becomes a nonrecoverable advance and such party is unable to recover such amounts from amounts available for distribution on the Class WM certificates, the master servicer or the trustee, as applicable, will be permitted to recover such nonrecoverable advance (including interest thereon) from the assets of the trust fund | ||
S-54
available for distribution on the certificates. This may result in shortfalls which will be allocated to the certificates. | ||
Subordination of Subordinate Offered Certificates | As described in this prospectus supplement, unless your certificates are Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-PB, Class A-3, Class A-3FL, Class A-1A, Class X-C or Class X-P certificates, your rights to receive distributions of amounts collected or advanced on or in respect of the mortgage loans will be subordinated to those of the holders of the offered certificates with an earlier payment priority. See ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE CERTIFICATES—Distributions—Application of the Available Distribution Amount’’ and ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE CERTIFICATES—Subordination; Allocation of Losses and Certain Expenses’’ in this prospectus supplement. | |
Your Lack of Control Over the Trust Fund Can Create Risks | You and other certificateholders generally do not have a right to vote and do not have the right to make decisions with respect to the administration of the trust fund. See ‘‘SERVICING OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS—General’’ in this prospectus supplement. Those decisions are generally made, subject to the express terms of the pooling and servicing agreement, by the master servicer, the trustee or the special servicer, as applicable. Any decision made by one of those parties in respect of the trust fund, even if that decision is determined to be in your best interests by that party, may be contrary to the decision that you or other certificateholders would have made and may negatively affect your interests. | |
Under certain circumstances, the consent or approval of less than all certificateholders will be required to take, and will bind all certificateholders to, certain actions relating to the trust fund. The interests of those certificateholders may be in conflict with those of the other certificateholders. For example, certificateholders of certain classes that are subordinate in right of payment may direct the actions of the special servicer with respect to troubled mortgage loans and related mortgaged properties. In certain circumstances, the holder of a companion loan, mezzanine loan or subordinate debt may direct the actions of the special servicer with respect to the related mortgage loan and the holder of a companion loan, mezzanine loan or subordinate debt will have certain consent rights relating to foreclosure or modification of the related loans. The interests of such holder of a companion loan, mezzanine loan or subordinate debt may be in conflict with those of the certificateholders. | ||
Four (4) mortgage loans (loan numbers 1, 2, 4 and 5), representing 25.2% of the mortgage pool (29.0% of loan group 1), are each evidenced by multiple promissory notes. With respect to 1 of these mortgage loans, the Prime Outlets Pool II mortgage loan (loan number 2), representing 8.7% of the mortgage pool (10.0% of loan group 1), the related mortgage loan is evidenced by one promissory note that is | ||
S-55
pari passu in right of payment, and the holder of the related pari passu companion note has certain control, consultation and/or consent rights with respect to the servicing and/or administration of the related mortgage loan. The trust fund is comprised of only one of the pari passu notes. In addition, the Prime Outlets Pool II mortgage loan is evidenced by one promissory note that is subordinate in right of payment to the notes securing the Prime Outlets Pool II mortgage loan and the related pari passu loan. With respect to the other 3 mortgage loans evidenced by multiple promissory notes, the related mortgage loans are each part of a split loan structure where one promissory note is subordinate in right of payment to the other promissory note. In each case, the trust fund does not include the subordinate companion note. In addition, such holders of the pari passu companion note or the subordinate companion notes may have been granted various rights and powers pursuant to the related intercreditor agreement or other similar agreement, including cure rights and purchase options with respect to the related mortgage loans. In some cases, the foregoing rights and powers may be assignable or may be exercised through a representative or designee. Accordingly, these rights may potentially conflict with the interests of the certificateholders. | ||
Additionally, less than all of the certificateholders may amend the pooling and servicing agreement in certain circumstances. | ||
See ‘‘SERVICING OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS—The Controlling Class Representative’’ in this prospectus supplement and ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE CERTIFICATES—Voting Rights’’ in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. | ||
The Mortgage Loan Sellers, the Depositor and the Issuing Entity Are Subject to Bankruptcy or Insolvency Laws That May Affect the Trust Fund’s Ownership of the Mortgage Loans | In the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of any mortgage loan seller or the depositor, it is possible the trust fund’s right to payment from or ownership of the mortgage loans could be challenged, and if such challenge were successful, delays or reductions in payments on your certificates could occur. | |
Based upon opinions of counsel that the conveyance of the mortgage loans would generally be respected in the event of a bankruptcy or insolvency of a mortgage loan seller or the depositor, which opinions are subject to various assumptions and qualifications, the depositor and the issuing entity believe that such a challenge will be unsuccessful, but there can be no assurance that a bankruptcy trustee, if applicable, or other interested party will not attempt to assert such a position. Even if actions seeking such results were not successful, it is possible that payments on the certificates would be delayed while a court resolves the claim. | ||
S-56
In addition, since the issuing entity is a common law trust, it may not be eligible for relief under the federal bankruptcy laws, unless it can be characterized as a ‘‘business trust’’ for purposes of the federal bankruptcy laws. Bankruptcy courts look at various considerations in making this determination, so it is not possible to predict with any certainty whether or not the issuing entity would be characterized as a ‘‘business trust.’’ Even if a bankruptcy court were to determine that the issuing entity was a ‘‘business trust’’, it is possible that payments on the certificates would be delayed while the court resolved the issue. | ||
Liquidity for Certificates May Be Limited | There is currently no secondary market for the offered certificates. While each underwriter has advised us that it intends to make a secondary market in one or more classes of the offered certificates, none of them are under any obligation to do so. No secondary market for your certificates may develop. If a secondary market does develop, there can be no assurance that it will be available for the offered certificates or, if it is available, that it will provide holders of the offered certificates with liquidity of investment or continue for the life of your certificates. | |
Lack of liquidity could result in a substantial decrease in the market value of your certificates. Your certificates will not be listed on any securities exchange at the time of closing and may never be listed on any securities exchange or traded in any automated quotation system of any registered securities association such as NASDAQ. | ||
Potential Conflicts of Interest | The master servicer is one of the mortgage loan sellers, a sponsor, the swap counterparty and is an affiliate of the depositor and one of the underwriters. These affiliations could cause conflicts with the master servicer’s duties to the trust fund under the pooling and servicing agreement. However, the pooling and servicing agreement provides that the mortgage loans shall be administered in accordance with the servicing standard described in this prospectus supplement without regard to an affiliation with any other party to the pooling and servicing agreement. See ‘‘SERVICING OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS—General’’ in this prospectus supplement. | |
Wachovia Bank, National Association (which is a mortgage loan seller, the master servicer and a sponsor) or one of its affiliates is also the initial holder of certain companion loans with respect to 4 mortgage loans, The Woodlands Mall mortgage loan, representing 10.1% of the mortgage pool (11.7% of loan group 1), the Prime Outlets Pool II mortgage loan, representing 8.7% of the mortgage pool (10.0% of loan group 1), the Chemed Center Leasehold mortgage loan, representing 3.5% of the mortgage pool (4.1% of loan group 1) and the Tan-Tar-A Resort mortgage loan, representing 2.9% of the mortgage pool (3.3% of loan group 1). | ||
S-57
Accordingly, a conflict may arise between Wachovia Bank, National Association’s duties to the trust fund under the pooling and servicing agreement and its or its affiliate’s interest as a holder of a companion loan or the holder of certain certificates. See ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE MORTGAGE POOL— Co-Lender Loans’’ in this prospectus supplement. | ||
With respect to 4 mortgage loans (loan numbers 21, 25, 28 and 65), representing 3.7% of the mortgage pool (1 mortgage loan in loan group 1 or 1.2% and 3 mortgage loans in loan group 2 or 20.1%), Wachovia Bank, National Association is the mortgagee under a second mortgage secured by the related mortgaged property and a pledge of the equity interests in the related borrower, which is subject to the terms of a subordination and standstill agreement. Accordingly, a conflict may arise between Wachovia Bank, National Association’s duties to the trust fund under the pooling and servicing agreement and its or its affiliate’s interest as a holder of a companion loan, the holder of mezzanine indebtedness or the holder of certain other indebtedness secured by the mortgaged property. See ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE MORTGAGE POOL— Co-Lender Loans’’ in this prospectus supplement. | ||
With respect to 1 mortgage loan (loan number 6), representing 2.9% of the mortgage pool (3.3% of loan group 1), LNR Property Corporation, an affiliate of LNR Partners, Inc. (which is the special servicer) is the sole tenant at the related mortgaged property. In addition, with respect to 1 mortgage loan (loan number 9), representing 2.4% of the mortgage pool (2.8% of loan group 1), Wachovia Bank, National Association (which is a mortgage loan seller, the master servicer and a sponsor and is an affiliate of one of the underwriters and the depositor) is the largest tenant at the related mortgaged property, representing 45.3% of the net rentable area of the mortgaged property. These tenancies could cause conflicts with the duties of the special servicer and the master servicer, as applicable, under the pooling and servicing agreement. However, the pooling and servicing agreement provides that the mortgage loans shall be administered in accordance with the servicing standard described in this prospectus supplement without regard to any relationship that the special servicer or master servicer, as applicable, may have to the related borrower. | ||
The special servicer will (and any related sub-servicer may) be involved in determining whether to modify or foreclose a defaulted mortgage loan. An affiliate of the special servicer will purchase certain other non-offered certificates. The special servicer or its affiliates may acquire non-performing loans or interests in non-performing loans, which may include REO properties that compete with the mortgaged properties securing mortgage loans in the trust fund. The special servicer or its affiliates own and are in the business of | ||
S-58
acquiring assets similar in type to the assets of the trust fund. The special servicer or its affiliates may also make loans on properties that may compete with the mortgaged properties and may also advise other clients that own or are in the business of owning properties that compete with the mortgaged properties or that own loans like the mortgage loans included in the trust fund. Accordingly, the assets of the special servicer and its affiliates may, depending upon the particular circumstances including the nature and location of such assets, compete with the mortgaged properties for tenants, purchasers, financing and so forth. See ‘‘SERVICING OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS—Modifications, Waivers and Amendments’’ in this prospectus supplement. | ||
This could cause a conflict between the special servicer’s duties to the trust fund under the pooling and servicing agreement and its interest as a holder of a certificate. However, the pooling and servicing agreement provides that the mortgage loans shall be administered in accordance with the servicing standard without regard to ownership of any certificate by the master servicer, the special servicer or any affiliate of the special servicer. See ‘‘SERVICING OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS—General’’ in this prospectus supplement. | ||
In addition, the related property managers and borrowers may experience conflicts of interest in the management and/or ownership of the mortgaged properties securing the mortgage loans because: | ||
• | a substantial number of the mortgaged properties are managed by property managers affiliated with the respective borrowers; | ||
• | these property managers also may manage and/or franchise additional properties, including properties that may compete with the mortgaged properties; | ||
• | affiliates of the property manager and/or the borrowers or the property managers and/or the borrowers themselves also may own other properties, including competing properties; or | ||
• | the mortgaged property is self-managed. | ||
In addition, certain mortgage loans included in the trust fund may have been refinancings of debt previously held by (or by an affiliate of) one of the mortgage loan sellers. | ||
The activities of the mortgage loan sellers and their affiliates may involve properties which are in the same markets as the mortgaged properties underlying the certificates. In such case, the interests of each of the mortgage loan sellers or such affiliates may differ from, and compete with, the interests of the trust fund, and decisions made with respect to those assets may adversely affect the amount and timing of distributions with respect to the certificates. | ||
S-59
The Mortgage Loans
Future Cash Flow and Property Values Are Not Predictable | A number of factors, many beyond the control of the property owner, may affect the ability of an income-producing real estate project to generate sufficient net operating income to pay debt service and/or to maintain its value. | |
Many of the mortgaged properties securing mortgage loans included in the trust fund have leases that expire or may be subject to tenant termination rights prior to the maturity date of the related mortgage loan. | ||
In addition, with respect to 8 mortgage loans (loan numbers 24, 31, 80, 84, 95, 104, 108 and 113), representing 3.2% of the mortgage pool (3.7% of loan group 1), certain of the major tenants at the related mortgaged property have rights of first refusal or early termination rights with respect to their respective leases. | ||
If leases are not renewed or replaced, if tenants default, if rental rates fall, if tenants vacate the mortgaged property during the terms of the respective leases and/or if operating expenses increase, the borrower’s ability to repay the loan may be impaired and the resale value of the property, which is substantially dependent upon the property’s ability to generate income, may decline. Even if borrowers successfully renew leases or relet vacated space, the costs associated with reletting, including tenant improvements, leasing commissions and free rent, can exceed the amount of any reserves maintained for that purpose and reduce cash from the mortgaged properties. Although some of the mortgage loans included in the trust fund require the borrower to maintain escrows for leasing expenses, there is no guarantee that these reserves will be sufficient. | ||
In addition, there are other factors, including changes in zoning or tax laws, restrictive covenants, tenant exclusives and rights of first refusal to lease or purchase, the availability of credit for refinancing and changes in interest-rate levels that may adversely affect the value of a project and/or the borrower’s ability to sell or refinance without necessarily affecting the ability to generate current income. In addition, certain of the mortgaged properties may be leased in whole or in part by government-sponsored tenants who may have certain rights to cancel their leases or reduce the rent payable with respect to such leases at any time for, among other reasons, lack of appropriations. With respect to 2 mortgage loans (loan numbers 75 and 116), representing 0.4% of the mortgage pool (0.5% of loan group 1), 100% of the rentable area at the related mortgaged properties are occupied by U.S. government agencies. In addition, with respect to 1 mortgage loan, (loan number 46), representing 0.6% of the mortgage pool (0.7% of loan group 1), 100% of the rentable area at the related mortgaged property is occupied by a state | ||
S-60
government agency. Although such U.S. government or state government leases generally do not permit the related tenant to terminate its lease due to any lack of appropriations, certain of the U.S. government and state government leases may permit the related tenant to terminate its lease after a specified date contained in the respective lease, some of which may be prior to the maturity date of the related mortgage loan, subject to certain terms and conditions contained therein. | ||
Some Mortgaged Properties May Not Be Readily Convertible to Alternative Uses | Some of the mortgaged properties securing the mortgage loans included in the trust fund may not be readily convertible (or convertible at all) to alternative uses if those properties were to become unprofitable for any reason. For example, a mortgaged property may not be readily convertible (or convertible at all) due to restrictive covenants related to such mortgaged property including, in the case of mortgaged properties that are part of a condominium regime, the use and other restrictions imposed by the condominium declaration and other related documents, especially in a situation where a mortgaged property does not represent the entire condominium regime. In addition, mortgaged properties that have been designated as historic sites, may be difficult to convert to alternative uses and may also require certain governmental approval to make alterations or modifications to the related mortgaged property. In addition, converting commercial properties to alternate uses generally requires substantial capital expenditures. The liquidation value of any mortgaged property, subject to limitations of the kind described above or other limitations on convertibility of use, may be substantially less than would be the case if the property were readily adaptable to other uses. | |
See ‘‘—Special Risks Associated with Industrial and Mixed-Use Facilities’’ below. | ||
Risks Relating to Certain Property Types | Particular types of income properties are exposed to particular risks. For instance: | |
Special Risks Associated with Shopping Centers and Other Retail Properties | Retail properties, including shopping centers, secure, in whole or in part, 32 of the mortgage loans included in the trust fund as of the cut-off date, representing 38.7% of the mortgage pool (44.6% of loan group 1). See ‘‘RISK FACTORS—Special Risks of Mortgage Loans Secured by Retail Properties’’ in the accompanying prospectus. | |
Special Risks Associated with Office Properties | Office properties secure, in whole or in part, 23 of the mortgage loans included in the trust fund as of the cut-off | |
S-61
date, representing 25.2% of the mortgage pool (29.1% of loan group 1). See ‘‘RISK FACTORS—Special Risks of Mortgage Loans Secured by Office Properties’’ in the accompanying prospectus. | ||
Included in the mortgage loans secured in whole or in part by office properties are 4 mortgage loans, which are secured by 4 medical office properties, representing approximately 2.0% of the mortgage pool (2.3% of loan group 1). The performance of a medical office property may depend on (i) the proximity of such property to a hospital or other health care establishment and (ii) reimbursements for patient fees from private or government-sponsored insurers. Issues related to reimbursements (ranging from non-payment to delays in payment) from such insurers could adversely impact cash flow at such mortgaged properties. | ||
Special Risks Associated with Multifamily Properties | Multifamily properties secure 24 of the mortgage loans included in the trust fund as of the cut-off date, representing 14.5% of the mortgage pool (1 mortgage loan in loan group 1 or 1.4% and all of the mortgage loans in loan group 2). See ‘‘RISK FACTORS—Special Risks of Mortgage Loans Secured by Multifamily Properties’’ in the accompanying prospectus. | |
Special Risks Associated with Hospitality Properties | Hospitality properties secure 11 of the mortgage loans included in the trust fund as of the cut-off date, representing 8.6% of the mortgage pool (9.9% of loan group 1). See ‘‘RISK FACTORS—Special Risks of Mortgage Loans Secured by Hospitality Properties’’ in the accompanying prospectus. | |
With respect to 1 of these mortgage loans (loan number 5), representing 2.9% of the mortgage pool (3.3% of loan group 1), the related mortgaged property is not affiliated with a nationally recognized hotel franchise. | ||
Any provision in a franchise agreement or management agreement providing for termination because of a bankruptcy of a franchisor or manager generally will not be enforceable. Replacement franchise licenses may require significantly higher fees. | ||
The transferability of franchise license agreements is restricted. In the event of a foreclosure, the mortgagee or its agent would not have the right to use the franchise license without the franchisor’s consent. Conversely, in the case of certain mortgage loans, the mortgagee may be unable to terminate a franchise license or remove a hotel management company that it desires to replace following a foreclosure. | ||
Furthermore, the ability of a hotel to attract customers, and some of such hotel’s revenues, may depend in large part on its having a liquor license. Such a license may have restrictions or prohibitions on transfers to third parties, including, for example, in connection with a foreclosure. | ||
S-62
Moreover, the hotel and lodging industry is generally seasonal in nature; different seasons affect different hotels depending on type and location. This seasonality can be expected to cause periodic fluctuations in a hospitality property’s room and restaurant revenues, occupancy levels, room rates and operating expenses. In addition, the events of September 11, 2001, have had an adverse impact on the tourism and convention industry. See ‘‘RISK FACTORS —Terrorist Attacks and Military Conflicts May Adversely Affect Your Investment’’ in the accompanying prospectus. | ||
Special Risks Associated with Industrial and Mixed-Use Facilities | Industrial properties secure 11 of the mortgage loans included in the trust fund as of the cut-off date, representing 5.6% of the mortgage pool (6.4% of loan group 1). See ‘‘RISK FACTORS—Special Risks of Mortgage Loans Secured by Industrial and Mixed-Use Facilities’’ in the accompanying prospectus. | |
Mixed-use properties secure 4 of the mortgage loans included in the trust fund as of the cut-off date, representing 2.5% of the mortgage pool (2.9% of loan group 1). See ‘‘RISK FACTORS—Special Risks of Mortgage Loans Secured by Industrial and Mixed-Use Facilities’’ in the accompanying prospectus. | ||
Mixed use mortgaged properties consist of either (i) office and retail components, (ii) retail and industrial components or (iii) retail, industrial and office and as such, mortgage loans secured by mixed use properties will share the risks associated with such underlying components. See ‘‘—Special Risks Associated with Office Properties’’ and ‘‘—Special Risks Associated with Shopping Centers and Other Retail Properties’’ in this prospectus supplement and ‘‘RISK FACTORS —Special Risks of Mortgage Loans Secured by Office Properties’’, ‘‘—Special Risks of Mortgage Loans Secured by Retail Properties’’ and ‘‘—Special Risks of Mortgage Loans Secured by Industrial and Mixed Use Facilities’’ in the accompanying prospectus. | ||
Environmental Laws May Adversely Affect the Value of and Cash Flow from a Mortgaged Property | If an adverse environmental condition exists with respect to a mortgaged property securing a mortgage loan included in the trust fund, the trust fund may be subject to certain risks including the following: | |
• | a reduction in the value of such mortgaged property which may make it impractical or imprudent to foreclose against such mortgaged property; | ||
• | the potential that the related borrower may default on the related mortgage loan due to such borrower’s inability to pay high remediation costs or costs of defending lawsuits due to an environmental impairment or difficulty in bringing its operations into compliance with environmental laws; | ||
S-63
• | liability for clean-up costs or other remedial actions, which could exceed the value of such mortgaged property or the unpaid balance of the related mortgage loan; and | ||
• | the inability to sell the related mortgage loan in the secondary market or to lease such mortgaged property to potential tenants. | ||
Under certain federal, state and local laws, federal, state and local agencies may impose a statutory lien over affected property to secure the reimbursement of remedial costs incurred by these agencies to correct adverse environmental conditions. This lien may be superior to the lien of an existing mortgage. Any such lien arising with respect to a mortgaged property securing a mortgage loan included in the trust fund would adversely affect the value of such mortgaged property and could make impracticable the foreclosure by the special servicer on such mortgaged property in the event of a default by the related borrower. | ||
Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, a current or previous owner or operator of real property, as well as certain other types of parties, may be liable for the costs of investigation, removal or remediation of hazardous or toxic substances on, under, adjacent to or in such property. The cost of any required investigation, delineation and/or remediation and the owner’s liability therefore is generally not limited under applicable laws. Such liability could exceed the value of the property and/or the aggregate assets of the owner. Under some environmental laws, a secured lender (such as the trust fund) may be found to be an ‘‘owner’’ or ‘‘operator’’ of the related mortgaged property if it is determined that such secured lender actually participated in the hazardous waste management of the borrower, regardless of whether the borrower actually caused the environmental damage. In such cases, a secured lender may be liable for the costs of any required investigation, removal or remediation of hazardous substances. The trust fund’s potential exposure to liability for environmental costs will increase if the trust fund, or an agent of the trust fund, actually takes possession of a mortgaged property or control of its day-to-day operations. See ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE MORTGAGE POOL—Assessments of Property Condition —Environmental Assessments’’ in this prospectus supplement, and ‘‘CERTAIN LEGAL ASPECTS OF MORTGAGE LOANS AND LEASES—Environmental Considerations’’ in the accompanying prospectus. | ||
A third-party environmental consultant conducted an environmental site assessment (or updated a previously conducted environmental site assessment) with respect to each mortgaged property securing a mortgage loan included in the trust fund related to a particular series of certificates. Such assessments do not generally include invasive environmental testing. In each case where the environmental site assessment or update revealed a material adverse | ||
S-64
environmental condition or circumstance at any mortgaged property, then (depending on the nature of the condition or circumstance) one or more of the following actions has been or is expected to be taken: | ||
• | an environmental consultant investigated those conditions and recommended no further investigations or remediation; | ||
• | an environmental insurance policy was obtained from a third-party insurer; | ||
• | either (i) an operations and maintenance program, including, in several cases, with respect to asbestos containing materials, lead-based paint, microbial matter and/or radon, or periodic monitoring of nearby properties, has been or is expected to be implemented in the manner and within the time frames specified in the related loan documents, or (ii) remediation in accordance with applicable law or regulations has been performed, is currently being performed or is expected to be performed either by the borrower or by the party responsible for the contamination; | ||
• | an escrow or reserve was established to cover the estimated cost of remediation, with each remediation required to be completed within a reasonable time frame in accordance with the related mortgage loan documents; or | ||
• | the related borrower or other responsible party having financial resources reasonably estimated to be adequate address the related condition or circumstance is required to take (or is liable for the failure to take) actions, required by the applicable governmental regulatory authority or any environmental law or regulation. | ||
We cannot provide assurance, however, that the environmental assessments identified all environmental conditions and risks, that the related borrowers will implement all recommended operations and maintenance plans, that such plans will adequately remediate the environmental condition, or that any environmental indemnity, insurance or escrow will fully cover all potential environmental conditions and risks. In addition, the environmental condition of the underlying real properties could be adversely affected by tenants or by the condition of land or operations in the vicinity of the properties, such as underground storage tanks. | ||
Problems associated with mold, fungi or decay may pose risks to the mortgaged properties and may also be the basis for personal injury claims against a borrower. Although the mortgaged properties are required to be inspected periodically, there is no generally accepted standard for the assessment of mold, fungi or decay problems. If left unchecked, the growth of such problems could result in the | ||
S-65
interruption of cash flow, litigation and remediation expenses that could adversely impact collections from a mortgaged property. | ||
We cannot provide assurance, however, that should environmental insurance coverage be needed, such coverage would be available or uncontested, that the terms and conditions of such coverage would be met, that coverage would be sufficient for the claims at issue or that coverage would not be subject to certain deductibles. | ||
In addition, some of the related borrowers have provided an environmental indemnification in favor of the mortgagee. For example, with respect to 2 mortgage loans (loan numbers 21 and 28), representing approximately 2.2% of the mortgage pool (1 mortgage loan in loan group 1 or 1.2% and 1 mortgage loan in loan group 2 or 8.9%), the related mortgagor has provided an environmental insurance policy in favor of the mortgagee, in lieu of an environmental indemnity. | ||
The pooling and servicing agreement will require that the special servicer obtain an environmental site assessment of a mortgaged property securing a mortgage loan included in the trust fund prior to taking possession of the property through foreclosure or otherwise assuming control of its operation. Such requirement effectively precludes enforcement of the security for the related mortgage note until a satisfactory environmental site assessment is obtained (or until any required remedial action is thereafter taken), but will decrease the likelihood that the trust fund will become liable for a material adverse environmental condition at the mortgaged property. However, we cannot give assurance that the requirements of the pooling and servicing agreement will effectively insulate the trust fund from potential liability for a materially adverse environmental condition at any mortgaged property. See ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENTS —Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans’’, ‘‘RISK FACTORS—Environmental Liability May Affect the Lien on a Mortgaged Property and Expose the Lender to Costs’’ and ‘‘CERTAIN LEGAL ASPECTS OF MORTGAGE LOANS AND LEASES—Environmental Considerations’’ in the accompanying prospectus. | ||
Special Risks Associated with Balloon Loans and Anticipated Repayment Date Loans | One hundred thirteen (113) of the mortgage loans, representing in the aggregate 99.8% of the mortgage pool (91 mortgage loans in loan group 1 or 100.0% and 22 mortgage loans in loan group 2 or 98.3%) provide for scheduled payments of principal and/or interest based on amortization schedules significantly longer than their respective remaining terms to maturity or provide for payments of interest only until their respective maturity date and, in each case, a balloon payment on their respective maturity date. Fourteen | |
S-66
(14) of these mortgage loans representing 9.2% of the mortgage pool (13 mortgage loans in loan group 1 or 9.2% and 1 mortgage loan in loan group 2 or 8.9%), are anticipated repayment date loans, which provide that if the principal balance of the loan is not repaid on a date specified in the related mortgage note, the loan will accrue interest at an increased rate. | ||
• | A borrower’s ability to make a balloon payment or repay its anticipated repayment date loan on the anticipated repayment date typically will depend upon its ability either to refinance fully the loan or to sell the related mortgaged property at a price sufficient to permit the borrower to make such payment. | ||
• | Whether or not losses are ultimately sustained, any delay in the collection of a balloon payment on the maturity date or repayment on the anticipated repayment date that would otherwise be distributable on your certificates will likely extend the weighted average life of your certificates. | ||
• | The ability of a borrower to effect a refinancing or sale will be affected by a number of factors, including (but not limited to) the value of the related mortgaged property, the level of available mortgage rates at the time of sale or refinancing, the borrower’s equity in the mortgaged property, the financial condition and operating history of the borrower and the mortgaged property, rent rolling status, rent control laws with respect to certain residential properties, tax laws, prevailing general and regional economic conditions and the availability of credit for loans secured by multifamily or commercial properties, as the case may be. | ||
We cannot assure you that each borrower under a balloon loan or an anticipated repayment date loan will have the ability to repay the principal balance of such mortgage loan on the related maturity date or anticipated repayment date, as applicable. In addition, fully amortizing mortgage loans which pay interest on an ‘‘actual/360’’ basis but have fixed monthly payments may, in fact, have a small ‘‘balloon payment’’ due at maturity. For additional description of risks associated with balloon loans, see ‘‘RISK FACTORS —Balloon Payments on Mortgage Loans Result in Heightened Risk of Borrower Default’’ in the accompanying prospectus. | ||
In order to maximize recoveries on defaulted mortgage loans, the pooling and servicing agreement permits the special servicer to extend and modify mortgage loans that are in material default or as to which a payment default (including the failure to make a balloon payment) is imminent; subject, however, to the limitations described under ‘‘SERVICING OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS—Modifications, Waivers and Amendments’’ in this prospectus supplement. We cannot provide assurance, however, that any such extension or | ||
S-67
modification will increase the present value of recoveries in a given case. Any delay in collection of a balloon payment that would otherwise be distributable on your certificates, whether such delay is due to borrower default or to modification of the related mortgage loan, will likely extend the weighted average life of your certificates. See ‘‘YIELD AND MATURITY CONSIDERATIONS’’ in this prospectus supplement and ‘‘YIELD CONSIDERATIONS’’ in the accompanying prospectus. | ||
Adverse Consequences Associated with Borrower Concentration, Borrowers under Common Control and Related Borrowers | Certain borrowers under the mortgage loans included in the trust fund are affiliated or under common control with one another. In such circumstances, any adverse circumstances relating to a borrower or an affiliate thereof and affecting one of the related mortgage loans or mortgaged properties could also affect other mortgage loans or mortgaged properties of the related borrower. In particular, the bankruptcy or insolvency of any such borrower or affiliate could have an adverse effect on the operation of all of the mortgaged properties of that borrower and its affiliates and on the ability of such related mortgaged properties to produce sufficient cash flow to make required payments on the mortgage loans. For example, if a person that owns or directly or indirectly controls several mortgaged properties experiences financial difficulty at one mortgaged property, they could defer maintenance at one or more other mortgaged properties in order to satisfy current expenses with respect to the mortgaged property experiencing financial difficulty, or they could attempt to avert foreclosure by filing a bankruptcy petition that might have the effect of interrupting payments for an indefinite period on all the related mortgage loans. In particular, such person experiencing financial difficulty or becoming subject to a bankruptcy proceeding may have an adverse effect on the funds available to make distributions on the certificates and may lead to a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification (if applicable) of the ratings of the certificates. | |
Mortgaged properties owned by related borrowers are likely to: | ||
• | have common management, increasing the risk that financial or other difficulties experienced by the property manager could have a greater impact on the pool of mortgage loans included in the trust fund; and | ||
• | have common general partners or managing members which would increase the risk that a financial failure or bankruptcy filing would have a greater impact on the pool of mortgage loans included in the trust fund. | ||
For example, 10 mortgage loans (loan numbers 60, 72, 88, 94, 96, 100, 103, 112, 116 and 117), representing in the aggregate 2.0% of the mortgage pool (2.4% of loan group 1) which are | ||
S-68
cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted, have sponsors that are affiliated. In addition, 2 mortgage loans (loan numbers 3 and 14), representing 5.9% of the mortgage pool (6.9% of loan group 1) which are not cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted, have sponsors that are affiliated. In addition, 2 mortgage loans (loan numbers 5 and 10), representing 5.1% of the mortgage pool (5.8% of loan group 1) which are not cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted, have sponsors that are affiliated. In addition, 2 mortgage loans (loan numbers 4 and 7), representing 6.1% of the mortgage pool (7.1% of loan group 1) which are not cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted, have sponsors that are affiliated. | ||
In addition, the largest mortgage loan in the trust fund is The Woodlands Mall mortgage loan, which represents 10.1% of the mortgage pool (11.7% of loan group 1). The borrower under The Woodlands Mall mortgage loan is The Woodlands Mall Associates, LP, a Delaware limited partnership. For further information with respect to this mortgage loan, see ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE MORTGAGE POOL—Significant Obligors’’, ‘‘—Twenty Largest Mortgage Loans’’ and Annex D in this prospectus supplement. | ||
No group, individual borrower, sponsor or borrower concentration represents more than 10.1% of the mortgage pool (11.7% of loan group 1). | ||
The Geographic Concentration of Mortgaged Properties Subjects the Trust Fund to a Greater Extent to State and Regional Conditions | Except as indicated in the following tables, less than 5.0% of the mortgage loans, by cut-off date pool or loan group balance, are secured by mortgaged properties in any one state or the District of Columbia. | |

* | Because this table presents information relating to the mortgaged properties and not the mortgage loans, the information for mortgage loans secured by more than one mortgaged property is based on allocated loan amounts (allocating the mortgage loan principal balance to each of those properties by the appraised values of the mortgaged properties or the allocated loan amount (or specific release prices) as described in the related mortgage loan documents). | ||
The concentration of mortgaged properties in a specific state or region will make the performance of the trust fund as a whole more sensitive to the following in the state or region | ||
S-70
where the mortgagors and the mortgaged properties are located: | ||
• | economic conditions; | ||
• | conditions in the real estate market; | ||
• | changes in governmental rules and fiscal policies; | ||
• | acts of God or terrorism (which may result in uninsured losses); and | ||
• | other factors which are beyond the control of the mortgagors. | ||
Special Risks Associated with High Balance Mortgage Loans | Several of the mortgage loans included in the trust fund, individually or together with other such mortgage loans with which they are cross-collateralized, have principal balances as of the cut-off date that are substantially higher than the average principal balance of the mortgage loans in the trust fund as of the cut-off date. | |
In general, concentrations in a mortgage pool of loans with larger-than-average balances can result in losses that are more severe, relative to the size of the pool, than would be the case if the aggregate balance of the pool were more evenly distributed. | ||
• | The largest single mortgage loan included in the trust fund as of the cut-off date represents 10.1% of the mortgage pool (11.7% of loan group 1). | ||
• | The largest group of cross-collateralized mortgage loans included in the trust fund as of the cut-off date represents in the aggregate 1.0% of the mortgage pool (1.1% of loan group 1). | ||
• | The 5 largest mortgage loans or groups of cross-collateralized mortgage loans included in the trust fund as of the cut-off date represent, in the aggregate, 29.4% of the mortgage pool (33.9% of loan group 1). | ||
• | The 10 largest mortgage loans or groups of cross-collateralized mortgage loans included in the trust fund as of the cut-off date represent, in the aggregate, 41.9% of the mortgage pool (48.3% of loan group 1). | ||
Concentrations of Mortgaged Property Types Subject the Trust Fund to Increased Risk of Decline in Particular Industries | A concentration of mortgaged property types can increase the risk that a decline in a particular industry or business would have a disproportionately large impact on a pool of mortgage loans. For example, if there is a decline in tourism, the hotel industry might be adversely affected, leading to increased losses on loans secured by hospitality properties as compared to the mortgage loans secured by other property types. | |
S-71
In that regard, by allocated loan amount: | ||
• | mortgage loans included in the trust fund and secured by retail properties represent as of the cut-off date 38.7% of the mortgage pool (44.6% of loan group 1); | ||
• | mortgage loans included in the trust fund and secured by office properties represent as of the cut-off date 25.2% of the mortgage pool (29.1% of loan group 1); | ||
• | mortgage loans included in the trust fund and secured by multifamily properties represent as of the cut-off date 14.5% of the mortgage pool (1 mortgage loan in loan group 1 or 1.4% and all of the mortgage loans in loan group 2); | ||
• | mortgage loans included in the trust fund and secured by hospitality properties represent as of the cut-off date 8.6% of the mortgage pool (9.9% of loan group 1); and | ||
• | mortgage loans included in the trust fund and secured by industrial and mixed-use facilities represent as of the cut-off date 8.1% of the mortgage pool (9.3% of loan group 1). | ||
Insurance Coverage on Mortgaged Properties May Not Cover Special Hazard Losses | In light of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in New York City, the Washington, D.C. area and Pennsylvania, the comprehensive general liability and business interruption or rent loss insurance policies required by typical mortgage loans (which are generally subject to periodic renewals during the term of the related mortgage loans) have been affected. To give time for private markets to develop a pricing mechanism and to build capacity to absorb future losses that may occur due to terrorism, on November 26, 2002 the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 was enacted, which established the Terrorism Insurance Program. Under the Terrorism Insurance Program, the federal government shares in the risk of loss associated with certain future terrorist acts. See ‘‘RISK FACTORS—Insurance Coverage on Mortgaged Properties May Not Cover Special Hazard Losses’’ in the accompanying prospectus. | |
The Terrorism Insurance Program was originally scheduled to expire on December 31, 2005. However, on December 22, 2005, the Terrorism Risk Insurance Extension Act of 2005 was enacted, which extended the duration of the Terrorism Insurance Program until December 31, 2007. | ||
The Terrorism Insurance Program is administered by the Secretary of the Treasury and, through December 31, 2007, will provide some financial assistance from the United States government to insurers in the event of another terrorist attack that results in an insurance claim. The program applies to United States risks only and to acts that are committed by an individual or individuals acting on behalf of a foreign | ||
S-72
person or foreign interest as an effort to influence or coerce United States civilians or the United States government. | ||
In addition, with respect to any act of terrorism occurring after June 30, 2006, no compensation is paid under the Terrorism Insurance Program unless the aggregate industry losses relating to such act of terror exceed $50 million (or, if such insured losses occur in 2007, $100 million). As a result, unless the borrowers obtain separate coverage for events that do not meet that threshold (which coverage may not be required by the respective loan documents and may not otherwise be obtainable), such events would not be covered. | ||
The Treasury Department has established procedures for the program under which the federal share of compensation equals 90 percent (or, in 2007, 85 percent) of that portion of insured losses that exceeds an applicable insurer deductible required to be paid during each program year. The federal share in the aggregate in any program year may not exceed $100 billion (and the insurers will not be liable for any amount that exceeds this cap). | ||
Through December 2007, insurance carriers are required under the program to provide terrorism coverage in their basic ‘‘all-risk’’ policies. Any commercial property and casualty terrorism insurance exclusion that was in force on November 26, 2002 is automatically voided to the extent that it excludes losses that would otherwise be insured losses. Any state approval of such types of exclusions in force on November 26, 2002, is also voided. | ||
The Terrorism Insurance Program is temporary legislation and there can be no assurance that it will create any long-term changes in the availability and cost of such insurance. Moreover, there can be no assurance that subsequent terrorism insurance legislation will be passed upon its expiration. | ||
No assurance can be given that the mortgaged properties will continue to have the benefit of insurance against terrorist acts. In addition, no assurance can be given that the coverage for such acts, if obtained or maintained, will be broad enough to cover the particular act of terrorism that may be committed or that the amount of coverage will be sufficient to repair and restore the mortgaged property or to repay the mortgage loan in full. The insufficiency of insurance coverage in any respect could have a material and adverse affect on an investor’s certificates. | ||
Pursuant to the terms of the pooling and servicing agreement, the master servicer or the special servicer may not be required to maintain insurance covering terrorist or similar acts, nor will it be required to call a default under a mortgage loan, if the related borrower fails to maintain such insurance (even if required to do so under the related mortgage loan documents) if the special servicer has determined, in consultation with the controlling class representative, in accordance with the servicing standard that either: | ||
S-73
• | such insurance is not available at commercially reasonable rates and that such hazards are not at the time commonly insured against for properties similar to the mortgaged property and located in or around the region in which such mortgaged property is located; or | ||
• | such insurance is not available at any rate. | ||
In addition, with respect to certain mortgage loans, the mortgagee may have waived the right to require terrorism insurance or may have limited the circumstances under which terrorism insurance is required. For example, with respect to certain mortgage loans, terrorism insurance is required only with respect to ‘‘certified acts of terrorism’’, as defined under the Terrorism Insurance Act of 2002. Further, such insurance may be required only to the extent it can be obtained for premiums less than or equal to a ‘‘cap’’ amount specified in the related mortgage loan documents, only if it can be purchased at commercially reasonable rates and/or only with a deductible at a certain threshold. For example, with respect to 1 mortgage loan (loan number 74), representing 0.3% of the mortgage pool (0.4% of loan group 1), the related lender has waived the right to require terrorism insurance under the related mortgage loan documents. In addition, certain of the mortgaged properties may contain pad sites that are ground leased to the tenant. The borrower may not be required to obtain insurance on the related improvements. | ||
Any losses incurred with respect to mortgage loans included in the trust fund due to uninsured risks or insufficient hazard insurance proceeds could adversely affect distributions on your certificates. | ||
Additional Debt on Some Mortgage Loans Creates Additional Risks | In general, the borrowers are: | |
• | required to satisfy any existing indebtedness encumbering the related mortgaged property as of the closing of the related mortgage loan; and | ||
• | prohibited from encumbering the related mortgaged property with additional secured debt without the mortgagee’s prior approval. | ||
Except as provided below, none of the mortgage loans included in the trust fund, other than the mortgage loans with companion loans, are secured by mortgaged properties that secure other loans outside the trust fund, and, except as provided below, none of the related entities with a controlling ownership interest in the borrower may pledge its interest in that borrower as security for mezzanine debt. | ||
With respect to 4 mortgage loans (loan numbers 26, 35, 40 and 98), representing 2.9% of the mortgage pool (1 mortgage loan in loan group 1 or 0.2% and 3 mortgage loans in loan group 2 or 20.2%), the mortgage loan documents provide that under certain circumstances the related borrower may | ||
S-74
encumber the related mortgaged property with subordinate debt in the future. | ||
With respect to 15 mortgage loans (loan numbers 9, 15, 18, 20, 22, 23, 27, 38, 41, 43, 53, 55, 63, 68 and 111), representing approximately 13.7% of the mortgage pool (10 mortgage loans in loan group 1 or 11.1% and 5 mortgage loans in loan group 2 or 30.4%), the related mortgage loan documents provide that, under certain circumstances (which may include satisfaction of DSCR and LTV tests) and with the consent of the mortgagee, ownership interests in the related borrowers may be pledged as security for mezzanine debt in the future, subject to the terms of a subordination and standstill agreement or intercreditor agreement to be entered into in favor of the mortgagee. | ||
With respect to 2 mortgage loans (loan numbers 3 and 14), representing approximately 5.9% of the mortgage pool (6.9% of loan group 1), the related mortgage loan documents provide that under certain circumstances (a) the related borrower may encumber the related mortgaged property with subordinate debt in the future, (b) the entities owning an interest in the related borrower may pledge their interests in the borrower as security for mezzanine debt in the future, subject to the terms of a subordination and standstill agreement or intercreditor agreement to be entered into in favor of the mortgagee and the satisfaction of certain financial conditions and (c) the related borrower may incur additional unsecured debt. | ||
With respect to 1 mortgage loan (loan number 1), representing approximately 10.1% of the mortgage pool (11.7% of loan group 1), the mortgage loan documents provide that under certain circumstances (a) the entities owning an interest in the related borrower may pledge their interests in the borrower as security for mezzanine debt in the future, subject to the terms of a subordination and standstill agreement or intercreditor agreement to be entered into in favor of the mortgagee and the satisfaction of certain financial conditions and (b) the related borrower may incur additional unsecured debt. | ||
With respect to 1 mortgage loan (loan number 31), representing 1.0% of the mortgage pool (1.1% of loan group 1), the related mortgage loan documents provide that, under certain circumstances, the related borrowers may incur additional unsecured debt. | ||
With respect to 1 mortgage loan (loan number 4), representing 3.5% of the mortgage pool (4.1% of loan group 1), the related mortgage loan documents provide that under certain circumstances (a) the related borrower may encumber the related mortgaged property with subordinate debt in the future or (b) the entities owning an interest in the related borrower may pledge their interests in the borrower as security for mezzanine debt in the future, subject to the terms | ||
S-75
of a subordination and standstill agreement or intercreditor agreement to be entered into in favor of the mortgagee and the satisfaction of certain financial conditions. | ||
With respect to 6 mortgage loans (loan numbers 4, 7, 15, 43, 50 and 105), representing 8.9% of the mortgage pool (4 mortgage loans in loan group 1 or 8.4% and 2 mortgage loans in loan group 2 or 12.0%), the ownership interests of the direct or indirect owners of the related borrower have been pledged as security for mezzanine debt subject to the terms of an intercreditor agreement entered into in favor of the mortgagee. | ||
With respect to 4 mortgage loans (loan numbers 21, 25, 28 and 65), representing 3.7% of the mortgage pool (1 mortgage loan in loan group 1 or 1.2% and 3 mortgage loans in loan group 2 or 20.1%), the related borrower has encumbered the related mortgaged property with subordinate debt secured by the related mortgaged property and a pledge of the equity interests in the related borrower which is subject to the terms of a subordination and standstill agreement or intercreditor agreement entered into in favor of the mortgagee. | ||
With respect to 1 mortgage loan (loan number 69), representing 0.4% of the mortgage pool (2.9% of loan group 2), the related borrower has incurred additional unsecured debt other than in the ordinary course of business. | ||
With respect to 2 mortgage loans (loan numbers 15 and 50), representing 2.0% of the mortgage pool (1 mortgage loan in loan group 1 or 0.6% and 1 mortgage loan in loan group 2 or 10.9%), a third-party has taken a preferred equity interest in the related borrower. | ||
Secured subordinated debt encumbering any mortgaged property may increase the difficulty of refinancing the related mortgage loan at maturity and the possibility that reduced cash flow could result in deferred maintenance. Also, in the event that the holder of the subordinated debt has filed for bankruptcy or been placed in involuntary receivership, foreclosure by any senior lienholder (including the trust fund) on the mortgaged property could be delayed. In addition, substantially all of the mortgage loans permit the related borrower to incur limited indebtedness in the ordinary course of business or for capital improvements that is not secured by the related mortgaged property which is generally limited to a specified percentage of the outstanding principal balance of the related mortgage loan. Further, certain of the mortgage loans included in the trust fund do not prohibit limited partners or other owners of non-controlling interests in the related borrower from pledging their interests in the borrower as security for mezzanine debt. | ||
In addition, certain mortgage loans, which may include the mortgage loans previously described in this risk factor, permit the related borrower to incur, or do not prohibit the related borrower from incurring, unsecured debt to an | ||
S-76
affiliate of, or owner of an interest in, the borrower or to an affiliate of such an owner, subject to certain conditions under the related mortgage loan documents. Further, certain of the mortgage loans permit additional liens on the related mortgaged properties for (1) assessments, taxes or other similar charges or (2) liens which in the aggregate constitute an immaterial and insignificant monetary amount with respect to the net value of the related borrower’s assets. A default by the borrower on such additional indebtedness could impair the borrower’s financial condition and result in the bankruptcy or receivership of the borrower which would cause a delay in the foreclosure by the trust fund on the mortgaged property. It may not be evident that a borrower has incurred any such future subordinate second lien debt until the related mortgage loan otherwise defaults. In cases in which one or more subordinate liens are imposed on a mortgaged property or the borrower incurs other indebtedness, the trust fund is subject to additional risks, including, without limitation, the following: | ||
• | the risk that the necessary maintenance of the mortgaged property could be deferred to allow the borrower to pay the required debt service on the subordinate financing and that the value of the mortgaged property may fall as a result; | ||
• | the risk that the borrower may have a greater incentive to repay the subordinate or unsecured indebtedness first; | ||
• | the risk that it may be more difficult for the borrower to refinance the mortgage loan or to sell the mortgaged property for purposes of making any balloon payment upon the maturity of the mortgage loan; | ||
• | the existence of subordinated debt encumbering any mortgaged property may increase the difficulty of refinancing the related mortgage loan at maturity and the possibility that reduced cash flow could result in deferred maintenance; and | ||
• | the risk that, in the event that the holder of the subordinated debt has filed for bankruptcy or been placed in involuntary receivership, foreclosing on the mortgaged property could be delayed and the trust fund may be subjected to the costs and administrative burdens of involvement in foreclosure or bankruptcy proceedings or related litigation. | ||
See ‘‘CERTAIN LEGAL ASPECTS OF MORTGAGE LOANS AND LEASES—Subordinate Financing’’ and ‘‘—Due-on-Sale and Due-on-Encumbrance’’ in the accompanying prospectus and ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE MORTGAGE POOL —Certain Terms and Conditions of the Mortgage Loans—Other Financing’’ and ‘‘—Due-on-Sale and Due-on-Encumbrance Provisions’’ in this prospectus supplement. | ||
S-77
Mezzanine debt is debt that is incurred by the owner of equity in one or more borrowers and is secured by a pledge of the equity ownership interests in such borrowers. Because mezzanine debt is secured by the obligor’s equity interest in the related borrowers, such financing effectively reduces the obligor’s economic stake in the related mortgaged property. The existence of mezzanine debt may reduce cash flow on the borrower’s mortgaged property after the payment of debt service and may increase the likelihood that the owner of a borrower will permit the value or income producing potential of a mortgaged property to fall and may create a greater risk that a borrower will default on the mortgage loan secured by a mortgaged property whose value or income is relatively weak. | ||
Generally, upon a default under mezzanine debt, the holder of such mezzanine debt would be entitled to foreclose upon the equity in the related mortgagor, which has been pledged to secure payment of such mezzanine debt. Although such transfer of equity may not trigger the due on sale clause under the related mortgage loan, it could cause the obligor under such mezzanine debt to file for bankruptcy, which could negatively affect the operation of the related mortgaged property and such borrower’s ability to make payments on the related mortgage loan in a timely manner. | ||
Additionally, some intercreditor agreements with respect to certain mezzanine debt may give the holder of the mezzanine debt the right to cure certain defaults and, upon a default, to purchase the related mortgage loan for an amount equal to the then current outstanding balance of such mortgage loan. Some intercreditor agreements relating to mezzanine debt may also limit the special servicer’s ability to enter into certain modifications of the mortgage loan without the consent of the related mezzanine lender. | ||
See ‘‘CERTAIN LEGAL ASPECTS OF MORTGAGE LOANS AND LEASES—Due-on-Sale and Due-on-Encumbrance’’ in the accompanying prospectus and ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE MORTGAGE POOL—Certain Terms and Conditions of the Mortgage Loans—Other Financing’’ and ‘‘—Due-on-Sale and Due-on-Encumbrance Provisions’’ in this prospectus supplement. | ||
Four (4) of the mortgage loans (loan numbers 1, 2, 4 and 5) representing 25.2% of the mortgage pool (29.0% of loan group 1) have companion loans that are subordinate to the related mortgage loan. See ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE MORTGAGE POOL—Co-Lender Loans’’ in this prospectus supplement. | ||
The Prime Outlets Pool II mortgage loan, representing 8.7% of the mortgage pool (10.0% of loan group 1), also has one companion loan that is pari passu in right of entitlement with the Prime Outlets Pool II mortgage loan. See | ||
S-78
‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE MORTGAGE POOL— Co-Lender Loans’’ in this prospectus supplement and the description of the Prime Outlets Pool II mortgage loan in Annex D to this prospectus supplement. | ||
Although the assets of the trust fund do not include the companion loans related to the mortgage loans which have companion loans, the related borrower is still obligated to make interest and principal payments on those additional obligations. As a result, the trust fund is subject to additional risks, including: | ||
• | the risk that the necessary maintenance of the related mortgaged property could be deferred to allow the borrower to pay the required debt service on the subordinate or pari passu obligations and that the value of the mortgaged property may fall as a result; and | ||
• | the risk that it may be more difficult for the borrower to refinance the mortgage loan or to sell the mortgaged property for purposes of making any balloon payment on the entire balance of both the loans contained in the loan pair upon the maturity of the mortgage loans. | ||
The holders of the pari passu companion loans have certain control, consultation and/or consent rights with respect to the servicing and/or administration of the subject split loan structures. See ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE MORTGAGE POOL—Co-Lender Loans’’ in this prospectus supplement. | ||
Bankruptcy Proceedings Entail Certain Risks | Certain of the mortgage loans have a sponsor or sponsors that have previously filed bankruptcy. In each case, the related entity or person has emerged from bankruptcy. However, we cannot assure you that such sponsors will not be more likely than other sponsors to utilize their rights in bankruptcy in the event that any threatened action by the mortgagee to enforce its rights under the related mortgage loan documents. | |
For example, certain affiliates of the sponsors for 1 mortgage loan (loan number 13), representing 1.8% of the mortgage pool (2.0% of loan group 1) have been involved in 3 recent loan defaults or workouts caused by the vacancy of large tenants. The real property that secured one of the defaulted loans is the mortgaged property that currently secures loan number 13. Through a workout and negotiation approximately 4 years ago with the special servicer of the defaulted loan, a new partnership controlled by the sponsors purchased the related promissory note and redeveloped the mortgaged property from a retail center with the income created primarily by 2 large tenants, one of which filed for bankruptcy, into a large retail center that is currently supported by multiple large national tenants with long-term leases. With respect to the other 2 defaulted loans, 1 of the defaulted loans resulted in a discounted note payoff by the sponsors in April 2006, and the other is currently in | ||
S-79
receivership. The sponsors are currently engaged in negotiations with the special servicer of the defaulted loan currently in receivership. | ||
See ‘‘RISK FACTORS—Bankruptcy Proceedings Entail Certain Risks’’ in the accompanying prospectus. | ||
The Borrower’s Form of Entity May Cause Special Risks | Most of the borrowers are legal entities rather than individuals. Mortgage loans made to legal entities may entail risks of loss greater than those of mortgage loans made to individuals. For example, a legal entity, as opposed to an individual, may be more inclined to seek legal protection from its creditors under the bankruptcy laws. Unlike individuals involved in bankruptcies, most of the entities generally do not have personal assets and creditworthiness at stake. The bankruptcy of a borrower, or a general partner or managing member of a borrower, may impair the ability of the mortgagee to enforce its rights and remedies under the related mortgage. | |
Certain of the borrowers are not special purpose entities structured to limit the possibility of becoming insolvent or bankrupt, and therefore may be more likely to become insolvent or the subject of a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding because such borrowers may be: | ||
• | operating entities with businesses distinct from the operation of the related mortgaged property with the associated liabilities and risks of operating an ongoing business; or | ||
• | individuals that have personal liabilities unrelated to the related mortgaged property. | ||
However, any borrower, even a special purpose entity structured to be bankruptcy remote, as an owner of real estate will be subject to certain potential liabilities and risks. We cannot provide assurances that any borrower will not file for bankruptcy protection or that creditors of a borrower of a corporate or individual general partner or managing member of a borrower will not initiate a bankruptcy or similar proceeding against such borrower or corporate or individual general partner or managing member. | ||
Furthermore, with respect to any related borrowers, creditors of a common parent in bankruptcy may seek to consolidate the assets of such borrowers with those of the parent. Consolidation of the assets of such borrowers would likely have an adverse effect on the funds available to make distributions on your certificates, and may lead to a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the ratings of your certificates. See ‘‘CERTAIN LEGAL ASPECTS OF MORTGAGE LOANS AND LEASES—Bankruptcy Laws’’ in the accompanying prospectus. | ||
S-80
With respect to 20 mortgage loans (loan numbers 3, 4, 9, 14, 21, 22, 25, 28, 34, 36, 43, 45, 52, 53, 55, 58, 65, 82, 90 and 93), representing 22.5% of the mortgage pool (13 mortgage loans in loan group 1 or 20.0% and 7 mortgage loans in loan group 2 or 38.5%), the borrowers own the related mortgaged property as tenants-in-common. As a result, the related mortgage loans may be subject to prepayment, including during periods when prepayment might otherwise be prohibited, as a result of partition. Although some of the related borrowers have purported to waive any right of partition, we cannot assure you that any such waiver would be enforced by a court of competent jurisdiction. In addition, enforcement of remedies against tenant-in-common borrowers may be prolonged if the tenant-in-common borrowers become insolvent or bankrupt at different times because each time a tenant-in-common borrower files for bankruptcy, the bankruptcy court stay is reinstated. | ||
Condominium Agreements and Cooperatively-Owned Properties Entail Certain Risks | One (1) mortgage loan (loan number 17), representing 1.3% of the mortgage pool (1.5% of loan group 1), is subject to the terms of one or more condominium agreements. In addition, certain of the mortgage loans, subject to the terms and conditions in the related mortgage loan documents, allow or do not prohibit the related mortgaged property to become subject to a condominium regime in the future. Due to the nature of condominiums, a default on the part of the related borrower will not allow the mortgagee the same flexibility in realizing on the collateral as is generally available with respect to commercial properties that are not condominiums. The rights of other unit owners, the condominium documents and the state and local laws applicable to condominium units must be considered and respected. Consequently, servicing and realizing upon the collateral could subject the certificateholders to greater delay, expense and risk than a loan secured by a commercial property that is not a condominium. | |
Inspections and Appraisals May Not Accurately Reflect Value or Condition of Mortgaged Property | In general, appraisals represent only the analysis and opinion of qualified experts and are not guaranties of present or future value, and may determine a value of a property that is significantly higher than the amount that can be obtained from the sale of a mortgaged property under a distress or liquidation sale. In certain cases, appraisals may reflect ‘‘as-stabilized’’ values reflecting certain assumptions, such as future construction completion, projected re-tenanting or increased tenant occupancies. For example, with respect to 9 mortgaged properties (loan numbers 3, 4, 10, 11, 13, 15, 19, 28 and 69), representing approximately 17.7% of the mortgage pool (7 mortgaged properties in loan group 1 or 18.2% and 2 mortgaged properties in loan group 2 or 13.7%), the appraised value represented is the ‘‘as-stabilized’’ value. Information regarding the values of the mortgaged properties at the date | |
S-81
of such report is presented under ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE MORTGAGE POOL —Additional Mortgage Loan Information’’ in this prospectus supplement for illustrative purposes only. Any engineering reports or site inspections obtained in connection with this offering represent only the analysis of the individual engineers or site inspectors preparing such reports at the time of such report, and may not reveal all necessary or desirable repairs, maintenance or capital improvement items. | ||
The Mortgaged Properties May Not Be in Compliance with Current Zoning Laws | The mortgaged properties securing the mortgage loans included in the trust fund are typically subject to building and zoning ordinances and codes affecting the construction and use of real property. Since the zoning laws applicable to a mortgaged property (including, without limitation, density, use, parking and set-back requirements) are usually subject to change by the applicable regulatory authority at any time, the improvements upon the mortgaged properties may not, currently or in the future, comply fully with all applicable current and future zoning laws. Such changes may limit the ability of the related borrower to rehabilitate, renovate and update the premises, and to rebuild or utilize the premises ‘‘as is’’ in the event of a casualty loss with respect thereto. Such limitations may adversely affect the cash flow of the mortgaged property following such loss. Insurance proceeds may not be sufficient to pay off such mortgage loan in full. In addition, if the mortgaged property were to be repaired or restored in conformity with then current law, its value could be less than the remaining balance on the mortgage loan and it may produce less revenue than before such repair or restoration. In many instances, if a mortgage loan was not in material compliance with current zoning requirements, the borrower was required to obtain law and ordinance insurance coverage and/or have such violation insured over by the lender's title insurance policy to offset these risks. However, with respect to 1 mortgage loan (loan number 95), representing 0.2% of the mortgage pool (0.2% in loan group 1), law and ordinance insurance or title insurance was not obtained with respect to such violations. | |
Certain Mortgaged Properties May be Redeveloped or Renovated | Certain of the mortgaged properties are currently undergoing or are expected to undergo redevelopment or renovation. There can be no assurance that current or planned redevelopment or renovation will be completed, that such redevelopment or renovation will be completed in the time frame contemplated or that, when and if such redevelopment or renovation is completed, it will improve the operations at, or increase the value of, the related mortgaged property. Failure of any of the foregoing to occur could have a material adverse impact on the related mortgage loan, which could affect the ability of the related borrower to repay the related mortgage loan. | |
S-82
In the event the related borrower fails to pay the costs of work completed or material delivered in connection with such ongoing redevelopment or renovation, the portion of the mortgaged property on which there are renovations may be subject to mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens that may be senior to the lien on the related mortgage loans. | ||
The existence of construction or renovation at a mortgaged property may make such mortgaged property less attractive to tenants or their customers or, in the case of hospitality properties may require that a portion of the mortgaged property not be used during that renovation and, accordingly, could have a negative effect on net operating income. | ||
Restrictions on Certain of the Mortgaged Properties May Limit Their Use | Certain of the mortgaged properties securing mortgage loans included in the trust fund which are non-conforming may not be ‘‘legal non-conforming’’ uses. Further, even if a non-conforming mortgaged property is considered to be ‘‘legal non-conforming’’, certain jurisdictions have laws which state that in the event of a casualty where the damage to such mortgaged property exceeds certain specified thresholds, the improvements may only be rebuilt in conformity with the current zoning laws at the time of such casualty. The failure of a mortgaged property to comply with zoning laws or to be a ‘‘legal non-conforming’’ use or the existence of any threshold laws impacting the ability to rebuild the improvements may adversely affect the market value of the mortgaged property or the borrower’s ability to continue to use it in the manner it is currently being used or to rebuild the mortgaged property following a casualty event. | |
In addition, certain of the mortgaged properties are subject to certain use restrictions imposed pursuant to restrictive covenants, governmental requirements, reciprocal easement agreements or operating agreements or, in the case of those mortgaged properties that are condominiums, condominium declarations or other condominium use restrictions or regulations, especially in a situation where the mortgaged property does not represent the entire condominium building (for example, with respect to 1 mortgage loan (loan number 17), representing 1.3% of the mortgage pool (1.5% of loan group 1), the mortgaged property does not represent the entire condominium building). Such use restrictions include, for example, limitations on the character of the improvements or the properties, limitations affecting noise and parking requirements, among other things, and limitations on the borrowers’ right to operate certain types of facilities within a prescribed radius. These limitations could adversely affect the ability of the related borrower to lease the mortgaged property on favorable terms, thus adversely affecting the borrower’s ability to fulfill its obligations under the related mortgage loan. See ‘‘RISK FACTORS—The Mortgage Loans—Condominium Agreements Entail Certain Risks’’ in this prospectus supplement. | ||
S-83
If the special servicer forecloses on behalf of the trust fund or a mortgaged property that is being redeveloped or renovated, the special servicer will only be permitted to arrange for completion of the redevelopment or renovation if at least 10% of the costs of construction were incurred at the time default on the related mortgage loan became imminent. | ||
Compliance With Applicable Laws and Regulations May Result in Losses | A borrower may be required to incur costs to comply with various existing and future federal, state or local laws and regulations applicable to the related mortgaged property securing a mortgage loan included in the trust fund. Examples of these laws and regulations include zoning laws and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, which requires all public accommodations to meet certain federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. See ‘‘CERTAIN LEGAL ASPECTS OF MORTGAGE LOANS AND LEASES—Americans with Disabilities Act’’ in the accompanying prospectus. The expenditure of such costs or the imposition of injunctive relief, penalties or fines in connection with the borrower’s noncompliance could negatively impact the borrower’s cash flow and, consequently, its ability to pay its mortgage loan. | |
Limitations on the Benefits of Cross-Collateralized and Cross-Defaulted Properties | Three (3) groups of mortgage loans are groups of mortgage loans that are cross-collateralized and/or cross-defaulted with each of the other mortgage loans in their respective groups, as indicated in Annex A-5 to this prospectus supplement. | |
Certain of the mortgage loans referred to in the prior paragraph may entitle the related borrower(s) to obtain a release of one or more of the corresponding mortgaged properties and/or a termination of any applicable cross-collateralization and cross-default provisions, subject, in each case, to the fulfillment of one or more of the following conditions— | ||
• | the satisfaction of certain criteria set forth in the related mortgage loan documents; | ||
• | the satisfaction of certain leasing goals or other performance tests; | ||
• | the satisfaction of debt service coverage and/or loan-to-value tests for the property or properties that will remain as collateral; and/or | ||
• | receipt by the mortgagee of confirmation from each applicable rating agency that the action will not result in a qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of any of the then-current ratings of the offered certificates. | ||
In addition, some mortgage loans are secured by first lien deeds of trust or mortgages, as applicable, on multiple properties securing obligations of one borrower or the joint and several obligations of multiple borrowers. However, some of these mortgage loans permit the release of individual | ||
S-84
properties from the related mortgage lien through partial defeasance or otherwise. Furthermore, such arrangements could be challenged as fraudulent conveyances by creditors of any of the related borrowers or by the representative of the bankruptcy estate of any related borrower if one or more of such borrowers becomes a debtor in a bankruptcy case. Generally, under federal and most state fraudulent conveyance statutes, a lien granted by any such borrower could be voided if a court determines that: | ||
• | such borrower was insolvent at the time of granting the lien, was rendered insolvent by the granting of the lien, was left with inadequate capital or was not able to pay its debts as they matured; and | ||
• | such borrower did not, when it allowed its mortgaged property to be encumbered by the liens securing the indebtedness represented by the other cross-collateralized loans, receive ‘‘fair consideration’’ or ‘‘reasonably equivalent value’’ for pledging such mortgaged property for the equal benefit of the other related borrowers. | ||
We cannot provide assurances that a lien granted by a borrower on a cross-collateralized loan to secure the mortgage loan of another borrower, or any payment thereon, would not be avoided as a fraudulent conveyance. See ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE MORTGAGE POOL—Certain Terms and Conditions of the Mortgage Loans—Cross-Default and Cross-Collateralization of Certain Mortgage Loans; Certain Multi-Property Mortgage Loans’’ in this prospectus supplement and Annex A-5 to this prospectus supplement for more information regarding the cross-collateralized loans. No mortgage loan included in the trust fund (other than the mortgage loans with companion loans) is cross-collateralized with a mortgage loan not included in the trust fund. | ||
Substitution of Mortgaged Properties May Lead to Increased Risks | Six (6) mortgage loans (loan numbers 17, 51, 95, 101, 108 and 110) representing 2.4% of the mortgage pool (2.8% of loan group 1), permit the related borrowers the right to substitute mortgaged properties of like kind and quality for the properties currently securing the related mortgage loans. In addition, (1) mortgage loan (loan number 1), representing 10.1% of the mortgage pool (11.7% of loan group 1) permits the related borrower the right to substitute certain contiguous mortgaged properties for certain non-income producing portions of the mortgaged property, subject to certain conditions, including loan-to-value tests and debt service coverage tests. See ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE MORTGAGE POOL-Twenty Largest Mortgage Loans’’ and Annex D to this prospectus supplement for additional information. As a result, it is possible that one or more (and possibly all) mortgaged properties that secure the mortgage loans may not secure such mortgage loans for their entire term. Any substitution will require mortgagee consent and | |
S-85
will have to meet certain conditions, including loan-to-value tests and debt service coverage tests, and, in certain cases, the related borrower will also be required to obtain written confirmation from the rating agencies that any ratings of the certificates will not, as a result of the proposed substitution, be downgraded, qualified or withdrawn and the related borrower will provide an opinion of counsel that the REMIC status of the trust fund will not be adversely impacted by the proposed substitution. Nevertheless, the replacement property may differ from the substituted property with respect to certain characteristics. See Annex D and ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE MORTGAGE POOL—Twenty Largest Mortgage Loans,’’ ‘‘—Significant Obligors’’ in this prospectus supplement for additional information. | ||
Single Tenants and Concentration of Tenants Subject the Trust Fund to Increased Risk | Thirty-two (32) of the mortgaged properties securing mortgage loans included in the trust fund, representing 14.3% of the mortgage pool (16.4% of loan group 1), are leased wholly to a single tenant or are wholly owner occupied. Certain other of the mortgaged properties are leased in large part to a single tenant or are in large part owner occupied. Any default by a major tenant could adversely affect the related borrower’s ability to make payments on the related mortgage loan. We cannot provide assurances that any major tenant will continue to perform its obligations under its lease (or, in the case of an owner-occupied mortgaged property, under the related mortgage loan documents). | |
With respect to certain of the mortgage loans, the related borrower has given to certain tenants or franchisors, with respect to hospitality properties, and ground lessors, with respect to leasehold mortgage loans, a right of first refusal in the event a sale is contemplated or an option to purchase all or a portion of the mortgaged property and this provision, if not waived, may impede the mortgagee’s ability to sell the related mortgaged property at foreclosure or adversely affect the foreclosure proceeds. | ||
In addition, with respect to 2 mortgage loans (loan numbers 4 and 7), representing 6.1% of the mortgage pool (7.1% of loan group 1), the 2 mortgage loans encumber a fee interest and a ground leasehold interest, respectively, in the same mortgaged property. The related ground lease grants an option to the ground lessee to purchase the mortgaged property from the fee owner for a purchase price equal to the greater of (i) the purchase price paid for the mortgaged property plus certain acquisition costs or (ii) an amount sufficient to fully satisfy and discharge the fee mortgage, including any prepayment penalties or premiums. Although the purchase option is subject to the consent of the fee mortgagee, the exercise of the purchase option may result in the unscheduled prepayment of the mortgage loan secured by the fee mortgage. See ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE MORTGAGE POOL—Certain Terms and Condition of the | ||
S-86
Mortgage Loans—Prepayment Provisions’’ in this prospectus supplement. | ||
In addition, certain of the mortgaged properties that are leased to single tenants or a major tenant may have leases that terminate or grant the tenant early termination rights prior to the maturity date of the related mortgage loan. Mortgaged properties leased to a single tenant, or a small number of tenants, are more likely to experience interruptions of cash flow if a tenant fails to renew its lease because there may be less or no rental income until new tenants are found, and it may be necessary to expend substantial amounts of capital to make the space acceptable to new tenants. In addition, certain of the mortgaged properties may be leased in whole or in part by government-sponsored tenants who may have certain rights to cancel their leases or reduce the rent payable with respect to such leases at any time for, among other things, lack of appropriations. | ||
In addition, certain of the mortgaged properties may be leased in whole or in part by government-sponsored tenants who may have certain rights to cancel their leases or reduce the rent payable with respect to such leases at any time for, among other things, lack of appropriations. | ||
In addition, certain of the mortgaged properties that are leased may have leases that terminate or grant the tenant early termination rights prior to the maturity date of the related mortgage loan. Mortgaged properties leased to a single tenant, or a small number of tenants, are more likely to experience interruptions of cash flow if a tenant fails to renew its lease because there may be less or no rental income until new tenants are found, and it may be necessary to expend substantial amounts of capital to make the space acceptable to new tenants. | ||
Retail and office properties also may be adversely affected if there is a concentration of particular tenants among the mortgaged properties or of tenants in a particular business or industry. For further information regarding certain significant tenants at the mortgaged properties, see Annex A-4 to this prospectus supplement. | ||
The Failure of a Tenant Will Have a Negative Impact on Single Tenant and Tenant Concentration Properties | The bankruptcy or insolvency of a major tenant or sole tenant, or a number of smaller tenants, in retail, industrial and office properties may adversely affect the income produced by a mortgaged property. Under the Bankruptcy Code, a tenant has the option of assuming or rejecting any unexpired lease. If the tenant rejects the lease, the landlord’s claim for breach of the lease would be a general unsecured claim against the tenant (absent collateral securing the claim) and the amounts the landlord could claim would be limited. | |
Litigation May Have Adverse Effect on Borrowers | From time to time, there may be legal proceedings pending, threatened or ongoing against the borrowers, managers, | |
S-87
sponsors and their respective affiliates relating to the business of, or arising out of the ordinary course of business of, the borrowers, managers, sponsors and their respective affiliates, and certain of the borrowers, managers, sponsors and their respective affiliates are subject to legal proceedings relating to the business of, or arising out of the ordinary course of business of, the borrowers, managers, sponsors or their respective affiliates. In addition, certain borrowers, managers and their respective affiliates may be or have been subject to investigation, civil penalty, criminal penalty or enforcement. It is possible that such proceedings may have a material adverse effect on any borrower’s ability to meet its obligations under the related mortgage loan and, thus, on distributions on your certificates. | ||
With respect to 2 mortgage loans (loan numbers 39 and 73), representing 1.2% of the mortgage pool (8.7% of loan group 2), the sponsor of the mortgage loan, William E. Baldridge, is being sued in connection with the sale of four apartment complexes in Houston, Texas on the claim that rent rolls provided at closing incorrectly listed some units as occupied. Such action is being brought for claims of actual losses the plaintiff suffered as a result of the purchase and ownership of the four apartment complexes. In addition, Mr. Baldridge is being sued for breach of contract in connection with the purchase of certain housing projects and for wrongfully interfering with the plaintiff's attempt to purchase certain of such housing projects. Such action is being brought for contract damages in the amount of $105,000 and for unspecified damages resulting from the alleged wrongful interference. | ||
With respect to 1 mortgage loan (loan number 36), representing 0.9% of the mortgage pool (1.0% of loan group 1), Triple Net Properties, LLC, an affiliate of G REIT, Inc., a public company, is one of the sponsors of the related borrower and an affiliate of the property manager. Triple Net Properties, LLC has advised the related mortgage loan seller that the Securities and Exchange Commission (‘‘SEC’’) commenced an investigation regarding certain of its activities. In its filings with the SEC, G REIT, Inc. indicated that the SEC requested information relating to disclosure in securities offerings and exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for the private offerings in which Triple Net Properties, LLC and its affiliated entities were involved and exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for several entities. In a recent filing with the SEC, G REIT, Inc. indicated that the information disclosed in connection with these securities offerings, relating to the prior performance of all public and non-public investment programs sponsored by Triple Net Properties, LLC, contained certain errors. G REIT, Inc. reported that these errors included the following: (i) the prior performance tables | ||
S-88
included in the offering documents were stated to be presented on a GAAP basis but generally were not, (ii) a number of the prior performance data figures were themselves erroneous, even as presented on a tax or cash basis and (iii) with respect to certain programs sponsored by Triple Net Properties, LLC, where Triple Net Properties, LLC invested either alongside or in other programs sponsored by Triple Net Properties, LLC, the nature and results of these investments were not fully and accurately disclosed in the tables, resulting in an overstatement of Triple Net Properties, LLC's program and aggregate portfolio operating results. We cannot assure you that G REIT, Inc. or Triple Net Properties, LLC will be able to adequately address these disclosure issues or that these investigations will not result in fines, penalties or administrative remedies or otherwise have an adverse effect on the performance, operations or financial condition of G REIT, Inc. or Triple Net Properties, LLC. In addition, we cannot assure you that if litigation were to commence or security holders were to assert claims related to the foregoing, it would not have a material adverse effect on your certificates. | ||
In addition, with respect to 1 mortgage loan (loan number 19), representing 1.2% of the mortgage pool (1.4% of loan group 1), Joseph Chetrit, one of the sponsors under the mortgage loan, plead guilty in 1990 to the felony of entry of goods by false statements (under Title 18 of the United States Code, Sections 542 and 2) in connection with the import of fabric into the United States. | ||
The Prospective Performance of the Commercial and Multifamily Mortgage Loans Included in the Trust Fund Should Be Evaluated Separately fromthe Performance of the Mortgage Loans in any of our Other Trusts | While there may be certain common factors affecting the performance and value of income-producing real properties in general, those factors do not apply equally to all income-producing real properties and, in many cases, there are unique factors that will affect the performance and/or value of a particular income-producing real property. Moreover, the effect of a given factor on a particular real property will depend on a number of variables, including but not limited to property type, geographic location, competition, sponsorship and other characteristics of the property and the related mortgage loan. Each income-producing real property represents a separate and distinct business venture; and, as a result, each of the multifamily and commercial mortgage loans included in one of the depositor’s trusts requires a unique underwriting analysis. Furthermore, economic and other conditions affecting real properties, whether worldwide, national, regional or local, vary over time. The performance of a pool of mortgage loans originated and outstanding under a given set of economic conditions may vary significantly from the performance of an otherwise comparable mortgage pool originated and outstanding under a different set of | |
S-89
economic conditions. Accordingly, investors should evaluate the mortgage loans underlying the offered certificates independently from the performance of mortgage loans underlying any other series of offered certificates. | ||
As a result of the distinct nature of each pool of commercial mortgage loans, and the separate mortgage loans within each pool, this prospectus supplement does not include disclosure concerning the delinquency and loss experience of static pools of periodic originations by the sponsor of assets of the type to be securitized (known as ‘‘static pool data’’). Because of the highly heterogeneous nature of the assets in commercial mortgage backed securities transactions, static pool data for prior securitized pools, even those involving the same asset types (e.g., hotels or office buildings), may be misleading, since the economics of the mortgaged properties and terms of the mortgage loans may be materially different. In particular, static pool data showing a low level of delinquencies and defaults would not be indicative of the performance of this pool or any other pool of mortgage loans originated by the same sponsor or sponsors. Therefore, investors should evaluate this offering on the basis of the information set forth in this prospectus supplement with respect to these mortgage loans, and not on the basis of any successful performance of other pools of securitized commercial mortgage loans. | ||
The Status of a Ground Lease May Be Uncertain in a Bankruptcy Proceeding | Nine (9) mortgaged properties, representing 14.7% of the mortgage pool (17.0% of loan group 1) by allocated loan amount, are secured in whole or in part by leasehold interests. Leasehold mortgage loans are subject to certain risks not associated with mortgage loans secured by a lien on the fee estate of the borrower. One of these risks is that if the related leasehold interest were to be terminated upon a lease default, the mortgagee would lose its security in the loan. Generally, each related ground lease requires the lessor thereunder to give the mortgagee notice of the borrower’s defaults under the ground lease and an opportunity to cure them, permits the leasehold interest to be assigned to the mortgagee or a purchaser at a foreclosure sale (in some cases only upon the consent of the lessor) and contains certain other protective provisions typically included in a ‘‘mortgageable’’ ground lease. In addition, pursuant to Section 365(h) of the Bankruptcy Code, ground lessees in possession under a ground lease that has commenced have the right to continue in a ground lease even though the representative of their bankrupt ground lessor rejects the lease. The leasehold mortgages generally provide that the borrower may not elect to treat the ground lease as terminated on account of any such rejection by the ground lessor without the prior approval of the holder of the mortgage note or otherwise prohibit the borrower from terminating the ground lease. In a bankruptcy of a ground lessee/borrower, the ground lessee/borrower under the protection of the Bankruptcy Code has the right to | |
S-90
assume (continue) or reject (breach and/or terminate) any or all of its ground leases. If the ground lessor and the ground lessee/borrower are concurrently involved in bankruptcy proceedings, the trustee may be unable to enforce the bankrupt ground lessee/borrower’s right to continue in a ground lease rejected by a bankrupt ground lessor. In such circumstances, a ground lease could be terminated notwithstanding lender protection provisions contained therein or in the related mortgage. Further, in a recent decision by the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit (Precision Indus. v. Qualitech Steel SBQ, LLC, 327 F.3d 537 (7th Cir. 2003), the court ruled with respect to an unrecorded lease of real property that where a statutory sale of the fee interest in leased property occurs under Section 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. Section 363(f)) upon the bankruptcy of a landlord, such sale terminates a lessee’s possessory interest in the property, and the purchaser assumes title free and clear of any interest, including any leasehold estates. Pursuant to Section 363(e) of the Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. Section 363(e)), a lessee may request the bankruptcy court to prohibit or condition the statutory sale of the property so as to provide adequate protection of the leasehold interest; however, the court ruled that this provision does not ensure continued possession of the property, but rather entitles the lessee to compensation for the value of its leasehold interest, typically from the sale proceeds. While there are certain circumstances under which a ‘‘free and clear’’ sale under Section 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code would not be authorized (including that the lessee could not be compelled in a legal or equitable proceeding to accept a monetary satisfaction of his possessory interest, and that none of the other conditions of Section 363(f)(1)-(4) of the Bankruptcy Code otherwise permits the sale), we cannot provide assurances that those circumstances would be present in any proposed sale of a leased premises. As a result, we cannot provide assurances that, in the event of a statutory sale of leased property pursuant to Section 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code, the lessee will be able to maintain possession of the property under the ground lease. In addition, we cannot provide assurances that the lessee and/or the mortgagee will be able to recuperate the full value of the leasehold interest in bankruptcy court. | ||
In addition, certain of the mortgaged properties securing the mortgage loans are subject to operating leases. The operating lessee then sublets space in the mortgaged property to sub-tenants. Therefore, the cash flow from the rented mortgaged property will be subject to the bankruptcy risks with respect to the operating lessee. | ||
Mortgage Loan Sellers May Not Be Able to Make a Required Repurchase or Substitution of a Defective Mortgage Loan | Each mortgage loan seller is the sole warranting party in respect of the mortgage loans sold by such mortgage loan seller to us. Neither we nor any of our affiliates (except, in | |
S-91
certain circumstances, for Wachovia Bank, National Association in its capacity as a mortgage loan seller) are obligated to repurchase or substitute any mortgage loan in connection with either a breach of any mortgage loan seller’s representations and warranties or any document defects, if such mortgage loan seller defaults on its obligation to do so. We cannot provide assurances that the mortgage loan sellers will have the financial ability to effect such repurchases or substitutions. | ||
In addition, one or more of the mortgage loan sellers may have acquired a portion of the mortgage loans included in the trust fund in one or more secondary market purchases. Such purchases may be challenged as fraudulent conveyances. Such a challenge, if successful, may have a negative impact on the distributions on your certificates. See ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE MORTGAGE POOL—Assignment of the Mortgage Loans; Repurchases and Substitutions’’ and ‘‘ —Representations and Warranties; Repurchases and Substitutions’’ in this prospectus supplement and ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENTS—Representations and Warranties; Repurchases’’ in the accompanying prospectus. | ||

DESCRIPTION OF THE MORTGAGE POOL
General
The pool of mortgage loans included in the Trust Fund (the ‘‘Mortgage Pool’’) is expected to consist of 114 fixed rate mortgage loans (the ‘‘Mortgage Loans’’), with an aggregate principal balance (the ‘‘Cut-Off Date Pool Balance’’) of $1,731,843,767. The ‘‘Cut-Off Date’’ for all of the Mortgage Loans is June 11, 2006. The ‘‘Cut-Off Date Balance’’ of each Mortgage Loan will equal the unpaid principal balance thereof as of the related Cut-Off Date, after reduction for all payments of principal due on or before such date, whether or not received. The Mortgage Pool will be deemed to consist of 2 loan groups (‘‘Loan Group 1’’ and ‘‘Loan Group 2’’ and, collectively, the ‘‘Loan Groups’’). Loan Group 1 will consist of all Mortgage Loans that are not secured by multifamily properties and 1 Mortgage Loan that is secured by a multifamily property. Loan Group 1 is expected to consist of 91 Mortgage Loans, with an aggregate Cut-Off Date Balance of $1,501,888,907 (the ‘‘Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance’’). Loan Group 2 will consist of 23 Mortgage Loans that are secured by multifamily properties, with an aggregate Cut-Off Date Balance of $229,954,860 (the ‘‘Cut-Off Date Group 2 Balance’’ and, together with the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance, the ‘‘Cut-Off Date Group Balances’’). Annex A-1 to this prospectus supplement sets forth the Loan Group designation with respect to each Mortgage Loan. The Cut-Off Date Balances of all of the Mortgage Loans in the Mortgage Pool range from $998,653 to $175,000,000. The Mortgage Loans in the Mortgage Pool have an average Cut-Off Date Balance of $15,191,612. The Cut-Off Date Balances of the Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 1 range from $998,653 to $175,000,000. The Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 1 have an average Cut-Off Date Balance of $16,504,274. The Cut-Off Date Balances of the Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 2 range from $1,648,876 to $25,000,000. The Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 2 have an average Cut-Off Date Balance of $9,998,037. References to percentages of Mortgaged Properties referred to in this prospectus supplement without further description are references to the percentages of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance represented by the aggregate Cut-Off Date Balance of the related Mortgage Loans and references to percentages of Mortgage Loans in a particular Loan Group without further description are references to the related Cut-Off Date Group Balance. The descriptions in this prospectus supplement of the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties are based upon the pool of Mortgage Loans as it is expected to be constituted as of the close of business on the Closing Date, assuming that (1) all scheduled principal and/or interest payments due on or before the Cut-Off Date will be made, and (2) there will be no principal prepayments on or before the Cut-Off Date.
The Woodlands Mall Loan will be deemed to be split into two components (‘‘The Woodlands Mall Pooled Component’’ and ‘‘The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component’’). The Woodlands Mall Pooled Component has a Component Principal Balance of $175,000,000 and will represent 10.1% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (11.7% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance). The Certificates (other than the Class WM Certificates) will be entitled to distributions from The Woodlands Mall Pooled Component. Although The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component is included in the Trust Fund, for the purposes of numerical and statistical information presented herein (including the annexes) such information does not include The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component. The Component Principal Balance of The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component as of the Cut-Off Date will be $10,000,000.
The following table describes certain information regarding The Woodlands Mall Loan, together with the related Pooled Component and Non-Pooled Component:

All percentages of the Mortgage Loans or any specified group of Mortgage Loans referred to in this prospectus supplement are approximate percentages. All numerical and statistical information presented in this prospectus supplement (including Cut-Off Date Balances, cut-off date balance per square foot, loan-to-value ratios and debt service coverage ratios) with respect to the Co-Lender Loans are calculated

without regard to the related Subordinate Companion Loans, if any; provided that, with respect to the Prime Outlets Pool II Loan, numerical and statistical information presented herein with respect to Cut-Off Date Balance per square foot/unit/room/pad/bed, loan-to-value ratio and debt service coverage ratio reflect the related Pari Passu Companion Loan, as well as the Mortgage Loan itself, but not the related Subordinate Companion Loan.
All of the Mortgage Loans are evidenced by a promissory note (each a ‘‘Mortgage Note’’) and are secured by a mortgage, deed of trust or other similar security instrument (each, a ‘‘Mortgage’’) that creates a first mortgage lien on a fee simple estate or, with respect to 9 Mortgage Loans, representing 14.7% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (17.0% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance) by allocated loan amount on a portion or all of a leasehold estate in an income-producing real property (each, a ‘‘Mortgaged Property’’). In addition, with respect to 2 Mortgage Loans (loan numbers 4 and 7), representing 6.1% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (7.1% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance), the 2 Mortgage Loans encumber a fee interest and a ground leasehold interest, respectively, in the same Mortgaged Property. The related ground lease grants an option to the ground lessee to purchase the mortgaged property from the fee owner for a purchase price equal to the greater of (i) the purchase price paid for the Mortgaged Property plus certain acquisition costs or (ii) an amount sufficient to fully satisfy and discharge the fee mortgage, including any Prepayment Penalties or premiums. Although the purchase option is subject to the consent of the fee mortgagee, the exercise of the purchase option may result in the unscheduled prepayment of the Mortgage Loan secured by the fee mortgage. See ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE MORTGAGE POOL—Certain Terms and Condition of the Mortgage Loans—Prepayment Provisions’’ in this prospectus supplement.
Set forth below are the number of Mortgage Loans, and the approximate percentage of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance represented by such Mortgage Loans that are secured by Mortgaged Properties operated for each indicated purpose:

(1) | Because this table presents information relating to the Mortgaged Properties and not the Mortgage Loans, the information for the Mortgage Loans secured by more than one Mortgaged Property is based on allocated loan amounts (allocating the Mortgage Loan principal balance to each of those properties by the appraised values of the Mortgaged Properties or the allocated loan amount (or specified release prices) as detailed in the related Mortgage Loan documents). |
(2) | A Mortgaged Property is classified as ‘‘shadow anchored’’ if it is located in close proximity to an anchored retail property. |

Mortgaged Properties by Property Type
Mortgage Loan Selection Process
All of the Mortgage Loans were selected based on various considerations concerning the Mortgage Pool in an effort to maximize the execution of the Certificates, including the Non-Offered Certificates, and create a diverse Mortgage Pool. Such considerations include, but are not limited to, the property types that serve as collateral for the Mortgage Loans, the principal balance of the Mortgage Loans, the geographic location of such properties, the sponsor of each Mortgage Loan and certain financial characteristics of the Mortgage Loans, such as debt service coverage ratios and loan-to-value ratios. For a description of the types of underlying Mortgage Loans included in the Trust Fund and a description of the material terms of such underlying Mortgage Loans, see ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE MORTGAGE POOL’’ in this prospectus supplement.
Mortgage Loan History
All of the Mortgage Loans will be acquired on the Closing Date by the Depositor from the Mortgage Loan Sellers. Wachovia Bank, National Association (‘‘Wachovia’’), in its capacity as a Mortgage Loan Seller, originated or acquired 85 of the Mortgage Loans to be included in the Trust Fund, representing 89.7% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (68 Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 1 or 89.9% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance and 17 Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 2 or 88.3% of the Cut-Off Date Group 2 Balance). Artesia Mortgage Capital Corporation (‘‘Artesia’’) originated 29 of the Mortgage Loans to be included in the Trust Fund, representing 10.3% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (23 Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 1 or 10.1% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance and 6 Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 2 or 11.7% of the Cut-Off Date Group 2 Balance). None of the Mortgage Loans were 30 days or more delinquent as of the Cut-Off Date, and no Mortgage Loan has been 30 days or more delinquent during the 12 months preceding the Cut-Off Date (or since the date of origination if such Mortgage Loan has been originated within the past 12 months). A Mortgage Loan is generally considered delinquent if the full contractual payment is not received on the related Due Date, in all instances, taking into account any applicable grace periods.
Certain Terms and Conditions of the Mortgage Loans
Mortgage Rates; Calculations of Interest. All of the Mortgage Loans bear interest at rates (each a ‘‘Mortgage Rate’’) that will remain fixed for their remaining terms; provided, however, that after the applicable Anticipated Repayment Date, the interest rate on the related ARD Loans will increase as described in this prospectus supplement. See ‘‘—Amortization’’ below. All of the Mortgage Loans representing accrue interest on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year (an ‘‘Actual/360 basis’’). Fifty (50) of the Mortgage Loans, representing 51.6% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (37 Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 1 or 50.1% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance and 13 Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 2 or 61.5% of the Cut-Off Date Group 2 Balance), have periods during which only interest is due and periods in which principal and interest are due. Twenty-two (22) of the
S-95
Mortgage Loans, representing 26.6% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (19 of the Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 1 or 27.2% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance and 3 Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 2 or 22.7% of the Cut-Off Date Group 2 Balance), are interest-only for their entire term.
Mortgage Loan Payments. Scheduled payments of principal and/or interest other than Balloon Payments (the ‘‘Periodic Payments’’) on all of the Mortgage Loans are due monthly.
Due Dates. Generally, the Periodic Payment for each Mortgage Loan is due on the date (each such date, a ‘‘Due Date’’) occurring on the 11th day of the month. No Mortgage Loan has a grace period that extends payment beyond the 11th day of any calendar month (other than 1 mortgage loan, representing 10.1% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (11.7% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance) which has a once-per-year grace period that may extend payment until the 14th day of a calendar month once per annum).
Amortization. One hundred thirteen (113) of the Mortgage Loans representing 99.8% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (91 of the Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 1 or 100.0% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance and 22 Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 2 or 98.3% of the Cut-Off Date Group 2 Balance) provide for Periodic Payments based on amortization schedules significantly longer than their respective terms to maturity (the ‘‘Balloon Loans’’), in each case with payments on their respective scheduled maturity dates of principal amounts outstanding (each such amount, together with the corresponding payment of interest, a ‘‘Balloon Payment’’). Twenty-two (22) of these Mortgage Loans, representing 26.6% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (19 Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 1 or 27.2% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance and 3 Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 2 or 22.7% of the Cut-Off Date Group 2 Balance), provide for interest-only Periodic Payments for the entire term and do not amortize.
Fourteen (14) of the Balloon Loans (the ‘‘ARD Loans’’), representing 9.2% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (13 Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 1 or 9.2% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance and 1 Mortgage Loan in Loan Group 2 or 8.9% of the Cut-Off Date Group 2 Balance), provide that if the unamortized principal amount thereof is not repaid on a date set forth in the related Mortgage Note (the ‘‘Anticipated Repayment Date’’), the Mortgage Loan will accrue additional interest (the ‘‘Additional Interest’’) at the rate set forth therein and the borrower will be required to apply excess monthly cash flow (the ‘‘Excess Cash Flow’’) generated by the Mortgaged Property (as determined in the related Mortgage Loan documents) to the repayment of principal outstanding on the Mortgage Loan. On or before the Anticipated Repayment Date, the ARD Loans generally require the related borrower to enter into a cash management agreement whereby all Excess Cash Flow will be deposited directly into a lockbox account. Eleven (11) of these ARD Loans, representing 5.5% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (10 Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 1 or 5.0% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance and 1 Mortgage Loan in Loan Group 2 or 8.9% of the Cut-Off Date Group 2 Balance), provide for monthly payments of interest only until the related Anticipated Repayment Date and do not provide for any amortization of principal before the related Anticipated Repayment Date. Any amount received in respect of Additional Interest will be distributed to the holders of the Class Z Certificates. Generally, Additional Interest will not be included in the calculations of the Mortgage Rate for a Mortgage Loan, and will only be paid after the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan together with all interest thereon at the Mortgage Rate has been paid. With respect to such Mortgage Loans, no Prepayment Premiums or Yield Maintenance Charges will be due in connection with any principal prepayment after the Anticipated Repayment Date.
Fifty (50) of the Balloon Loans and ARD Loans, representing 51.6% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (37 Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 1 or 50.1% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance and 13 Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 2 or 61.5% of the Cut-Off Date Group 2 Balance), provide for monthly payments of interest only for the first 12 to 84 months in the case of Loan Group 1 and, in the case of Loan Group 2, the first 12 to 72 months of their respective terms followed by payments which amortize a portion of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loans by their related maturity dates or Anticipated Repayment Dates, as applicable, but not the entire principal balance of the Mortgage Loans. Twenty-two (22) of the Balloon Loans and ARD Loans, representing 26.6% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (19 Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 1 or 27.2% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance and 3 Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 2 or 22.7% of the Cut-Off Date Group 2 Balance), provide for monthly payments of interest only until maturity or ARD and do not provide for any amortization of principal. Three (3) of the
S-96
ARD Loans, representing 3.7% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (4.2% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance), provide for payments throughout their respective terms which amortize a portion of the principal balance by their related Anticipated Repayment Dates, but not the entire principal balance of the Mortgage Loans.
Prepayment Provisions. As of the Cut-Off Date, all of the Mortgage Loans restrict or prohibit voluntary principal prepayment. In general, all of the Mortgage Loans either (i) prohibit prepayment for most of the term of the Mortgage Loan but permit defeasance after a date specified in the related Mortgage Note for most or all of the remaining term (90 Mortgage Loans or 81.2% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (72 Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 1 or 82.7% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance and 18 Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 2 or 71.4% of the Cut-Off Date Group 2 Balance)); (ii) prohibit prepayment until a date specified in the related Mortgage Note and then impose a Yield Maintenance Charge for most of the remaining term (16 Mortgage Loans or 12.6% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (14 Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 1 or 12.9% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance and 2 Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 2 or 10.0% of the Cut-Off Date Group 2 Balance)); (iii) impose a Yield Maintenance Charge for most or all of the remaining term of the Mortgage Loan (4 Mortgage Loans or 2.7% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (1 Mortgage Loan in Loan Group 1 or 0.3% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance and 3 Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 2 or 18.7% of the Cut-Off Date Group 2 Balance)); (iv) prohibit prepayment until a date specified in the related Mortgage Note, but permit defeasance or impose a Yield Maintenance Charge for most or all of the remaining term (3 Mortgage Loans or 3.0% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (3 Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 1 or 3.4% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance)); or (v) impose a Yield Maintenance Charge until a date specified in the related Mortgage Note, then permit defeasance for most or all of the remaining term (1 Mortgage Loan or 0.6% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (0.6% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance)). See ‘‘—Additional Mortgage Loan Information’’ in this prospectus supplement. Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges, if and to the extent collected, will be distributed as described under ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE CERTIFICATES—Distributions—Allocation of Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges’’ in this prospectus supplement. In addition, with respect to 2 of the Mortgage Loans (loan numbers 4 and 7), representing 6.1% of Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (7.1% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance), the 2 Mortgage Loans encumber a fee interest and a ground leasehold interest, respectively, in the same Mortgaged Property. The related ground lease grants an option to the ground lessee to purchase the Mortgaged Property from the fee owner for a purchase price equal to the greater of (i) the purchase price paid for the Mortgaged Property plus certain acquisition costs or (ii) an amount sufficient to fully satisfy and discharge the fee mortgage, including any prepayment penalties or premiums. In the event of a prepayment of the Mortgage Loan secured by the fee mortgage resulting from a default under the Mortgage Loan secured by the leasehold mortgage and subsequent exercise of the related ground lessee's purchase option by the mortgagee under the leasehold mortgage, no Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge received in connection with such a prepayment (if any) will be distributed to the holders of the Offered Certificates, the Class A-3FL Regular Interest, the Class E Certificates, Class F Certificates, Class G Certificates or Class H Certificates. The Depositor makes no representation as to the enforceability of the provisions of any Mortgage Note requiring the payment of a Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge, or of the collectibility of any Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge.
Certain state laws limit the amounts that a mortgagee may collect from a borrower as an additional charge in connection with the prepayment of a mortgage loan. The Mortgage Loans generally do not require the payment of Prepayment Premiums or Yield Maintenance Charges in connection with a prepayment, in whole or in part, of the related Mortgage Loan as a result of or in connection with a total casualty or condemnation. Furthermore, the enforceability, under the laws of a number of states, of provisions providing for payments comparable to the Prepayment Premiums and/or Yield Maintenance Charges upon an involuntary prepayment is unclear. No assurance can be given that, at the time a Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge is required to be made on a Mortgage Loan in connection with an involuntary prepayment, any obligation to pay such Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge will be enforceable under applicable state law.
S-97
The Mortgage Loans included in the Trust Fund provide that, in the event of a partial prepayment of such Mortgage Loan due to the receipt of insurance proceeds or a condemnation award in connection with a casualty or condemnation, the monthly debt service payment of such Mortgage Loan will remain unchanged. See ‘‘RISK FACTORS—The Offered Certificates—Prepayments Will Affect Your Yield’’ in this prospectus supplement.
Four (4) of the Mortgage Loans (loan numbers 3, 14, 17 and 51), representing 7.8% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (9.0% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance), provide that, in general, under certain conditions, the related borrower will have the right, no earlier than two years following the Closing Date, to substitute a pledge of Defeasance Collateral in exchange for a release of the related Mortgaged Property (or a portion thereof) from the lien of the related Mortgage without the prepayment of the Mortgage Loan or the payment of the applicable Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge. Mortgage Loans secured by more than one Mortgaged Property (or multiple parcels or buildings constituting one Mortgaged Property) which provide for partial defeasance generally require that, among other things, (i) prior to the release of a related Mortgaged Property (or a portion thereof), a specified percentage (generally between 115% and 125%) of the allocated loan amount for such Mortgaged Property be defeased and (ii) that certain debt service coverage ratios and loan-to-value ratio tests be satisfied with respect to the remaining Mortgaged Properties (or portion thereof) after the defeasance. A Mortgage Loan may still be subject to prepayment during any applicable open period notwithstanding that it has been defeased as described in this prospectus supplement.
In general, ‘‘Defeasance Collateral’’ is required to consist of United States government obligations that provide for payments on or prior, but as close as possible, to all successive Due Dates and the scheduled maturity date (or the Anticipated Repayment Date in the case of the ARD Loans) (provided that in the case of certain Mortgage Loans, such defeasance payments may cease at the beginning of the open prepayment period with respect to such Mortgage Loan, and the final payment on the Defeasance Collateral may be sufficient to fully prepay the Mortgage Loan), with each such payment being equal to or greater than (with any excess to be returned to the borrower (in some cases, after the related Mortgage Loan is paid in full)) the Periodic Payment due on such date or (i) in the case of a Balloon Loan on the scheduled maturity date, the Balloon Payment, or (ii) in the case of an ARD Loan, the principal balance on its Anticipated Repayment Date. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement requires the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to require each borrower that proposes to prepay its Mortgage Loan to pledge Defeasance Collateral in lieu of making a prepayment, to the extent the related Mortgage Loan documents enable the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to make such requirement, but in each case subject to certain conditions, including that the defeasance would not have an adverse effect on the REMIC status of any of the REMICs (accordingly, no defeasance would be required or permitted prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date). The cash amount a borrower must expend to purchase, or deliver to the Master Servicer in order for the Master Servicer to purchase, such Defeasance Collateral may be in excess of the principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan. There can be no assurances that a court would not interpret such portion of the cash amount that exceeds the principal balance as a form of prepayment consideration and would not take it into account for usury purposes. In some states some forms of prepayment consideration are unenforceable.
Generally, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer is permitted to waive or modify the terms of any Mortgage Loan prohibiting voluntary prepayments during a Lockout Period or requiring the payment of a Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge except under the circumstances described in ‘‘SERVICING OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS—Modifications, Waivers and Amendments’’ in this prospectus supplement.
Other Financing. With limited exceptions, all of the Mortgage Loans prohibit the related borrower from encumbering the Mortgaged Property with additional secured debt without the mortgagee’s prior consent and, also with limited exceptions, prohibit the entities with a controlling interest in the related borrower from pledging their interests in such borrower as security for mezzanine debt.
With respect to 4 Mortgage Loans (loan numbers 26, 35, 40 and 98), representing approximately 2.9% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (1 Mortgage Loan in Loan Group 1 or 0.2% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance and 3 Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 2 or 20.2% of the Cut-Off Date Group 2 Balance), the
S-98
Mortgage Loan documents provide that under certain circumstances the related borrower may encumber the related Mortgaged Property with subordinate debt in the future.
With respect to 15 Mortgage Loans (loan numbers 9, 15, 18, 20, 22, 23, 27, 38, 41, 43, 53, 55, 63, 68 and 111), representing approximately 13.7% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (10 Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 1 or 11.1% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance and 5 Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 2 or 30.4% of the Cut-Off Date Group 2 Balance), the Mortgage Loan documents provide that, under certain circumstances (which may include satisfaction of DSCR and LTV tests) and with the consent of the mortgagee, ownership interests in the related borrowers may be pledged as security for mezzanine debt in the future, subject to the terms of a subordination and standstill agreement or intercreditor agreement to be entered into in favor of the mortgagee.
With respect to 2 Mortgage Loans (loan numbers 3 and 14), representing approximately 5.9% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (6.9% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance), the Mortgage Loan documents provide that under certain circumstances (a) the related borrower may encumber the related Mortgaged Property with subordinate debt in the future, (b) the entities owning an interest in the related borrower may pledge their interests in the borrower as security for mezzanine debt in the future, subject to the terms of a subordination and standstill agreement or intercreditor agreement to be entered into in favor of the mortgagee and the satisfaction of certain financial conditions and (c) the related borrower may incur additional unsecured debt.
With respect to 1 Mortgage Loan (loan number 1), representing approximately 10.1% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (11.7% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance), the Mortgage Loan documents provide that under certain circumstances (a) the entities owning an interest in the related borrower may pledge their interests in the borrower as security for mezzanine debt in the future, subject to the terms of a subordination and standstill agreement or intercreditor agreement to be entered into in favor of the mortgagee and the satisfaction of certain financial conditions and (b) the related borrower may incur additional unsecured debt.
With respect to 1 Mortgage Loan (loan number 31), representing approximately 1.0% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (1.1% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance), the Mortgage Loan documents provide that, under certain circumstances, the related borrowers may incur additional unsecured debt.
With respect to 1 Mortgage Loan (loan number 4), representing approximately 3.5% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (4.1% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance), the Mortgage Loan documents provide that under certain circumstances (a) the related borrower may encumber the related Mortgaged Property with subordinate debt in the future or (b) the entities owning an interest in the related borrower may pledge their interests in the borrower as security for mezzanine debt in the future, subject to the terms of a subordination and standstill agreement or intercreditor agreement to be entered into in favor of the mortgagee and the satisfaction of certain financial conditions.
With respect to 6 Mortgage Loans (loan numbers 4, 7, 15, 43, 50 and 105), representing approximately 8.9% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (4 Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 1 or 8.4% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance and 2 Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 2 or 12.0% of the Cut-Off Date Group 2 Balance), the ownership interests of the direct or indirect owners of the related borrower have been pledged as security for mezzanine debt subject to the terms of an intercreditor agreement entered into in favor of the mortgagee.
With respect to 4 Mortgage Loans (loan numbers 21, 25, 28 and 65), representing approximately 3.7% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (1 Mortgage Loan in Loan Group 1 or 1.2% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance and 3 Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 2 or 20.1% of the Cut-Off Date Group 2 Balance), the related borrower has encumbered the related Mortgaged Property with subordinate debt secured by the related Mortgaged Property and a pledge of the equity interests in the related borrower which is subject to a subordination and standstill agreement or intercreditor agreement entered into in favor of the mortgagee.
With respect to 1 Mortgage Loan (loan number 69), representing approximately 0.4% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (2.9% of the Cut-Off Date Group 2 Balance), the related borrower has incurred additional unsecured debt other than in the ordinary course of business.
S-99
With respect to 2 Mortgage Loans (loan numbers 15 and 50), representing approximately 2.0% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (1 Mortgage Loan in Loan Group 1 or 0.6% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance and 1 Mortgage Loan in Loan Group 2 or 10.9% of the Cut-Off Date Group 2 Balance), a third-party has taken a preferred equity interest in the related borrower.
Further, certain of the Mortgage Loans included in the Trust Fund do not prohibit limited partners or other owners of non-controlling interests in the related borrower from pledging their interests in the borrower as security for mezzanine debt. See ‘‘RISK FACTORS—The Mortgage Loans—Additional Debt on Some Mortgage Loans Creates Additional Risks’’ in this prospectus supplement.
In addition, with respect to the Co-Lender Loans, the related Mortgaged Property also secures one or more Companion Loans. See ‘‘—Co-Lender Loans’’ in this prospectus supplement.
Nonrecourse Obligations. The Mortgage Loans are generally nonrecourse obligations of the related borrowers and, upon any such borrower’s default in the payment of any amount due under the related Mortgage Loan, the holder thereof may look only to the related Mortgaged Property for satisfaction of the borrower’s obligations. In addition, in those cases where recourse to a borrower or guarantor is purportedly permitted, the Depositor has not undertaken an evaluation of the financial condition of any such person, and prospective investors should therefore consider all of the Mortgage Loans to be nonrecourse. For example, with respect to 1 Mortgage Loan (loan number 13), representing approximately 1.8% of the Cut-Off Pool Balance (2.0% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance), the related Mortgage Loan is recourse to the related borrower for an amount up to $1,500,000 until certain DSCR tests are satisfied. With respect to 1 Mortgage Loan (loan number 2), representing approximately 8.7% of the Cut-Off Pool Balance (10.0% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance), the related Mortgage Loan is recourse to the related guarantor for an amount up to $45,000,000. With respect to 1 Mortgage Loan (loan number 18 ), representing approximately 1.2% of the Cut-Off Pool Balance (1.4% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance), the related Mortgage Loan is fully recourse to the related borrower and guarantor until certain DSCR tests and other conditions are satisfied. With respect to 2 Mortgage Loans (loan numbers 45 and 64), representing approximately 1.1% of the Cut-Off Pool Balance (1 Mortgage Loan in Loan Group 1 or 0.7% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance and 1 Mortgage Loan in Loan Group 2 or 3.2% of the Cut-Off Date Group 2 Balance), the related Mortgage Loans are fully recourse to the related borrower to the extent there is liability resulting from the related Mortgaged Property not yet being a single tax parcel. With respect to 1 Mortgage Loan (loan number 1 ), representing approximately 10.1% of the Cut-Off Pool Balance (11.7% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance), the related Mortgage Loan is recourse to the related guarantor for an amount up to $10,000,000 in the event that a certain anchor parcel is released from the lien of the Mortgage Loan documents.
Due-On-Sale and Due-On-Encumbrance Provisions. Substantially all of the Mortgages contain ‘‘due-on-sale’’ and ‘‘due-on-encumbrance’’ clauses that, in general, permit the holder of the Mortgage to accelerate the maturity of the related Mortgage Loan if the borrower sells or otherwise transfers or encumbers the related Mortgaged Property or prohibit the borrower from doing so without the consent of the holder of the Mortgage. However, certain of the Mortgage Loans may permit one or more transfers of the related Mortgaged Property or the transfer of a controlling interest in the related borrower to pre-approved transferees or pursuant to pre-approved conditions without the approval of the mortgagee, and certain Mortgage Loans may not prohibit transfers of limited partnership interests or non-managing member interests in the related borrowers. For example, the terms of 20 Mortgage Loans (loan numbers 3, 4, 9, 14, 21, 22, 25, 28, 34, 36, 43, 45, 52, 53, 55, 58, 65, 82, 90 and 93), representing 22.5% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (13 Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 1 or 20.0% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance and 7 Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 2 or 38.5% of the Cut-Off Date Group 2 Balance), permit the borrowers to transfer tenant-in-common interests to certain transferees specified in the related Mortgage Loan Documents or to investors that qualify as ‘‘accredited investors’’ under the Securities Act. As provided in, and subject to, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Special Servicer will determine, in a manner consistent with the servicing standard described under ‘‘SERVICING OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS—General’’ in this prospectus supplement whether to exercise any right the mortgagee may have under any such clause to accelerate payment of the related Mortgage Loan upon, or to withhold its consent to, any transfer or further encumbrance of the related Mortgaged Property.

Cross-Default and Cross-Collateralization of Certain Mortgage Loans; Certain Multi-Property Mortgage Loans. Three (3) groups of Mortgage Loans are groups of Mortgage Loans that are cross-collateralized and/or cross-defaulted with each of the other Mortgage Loans in their respective groups, as indicated in Annex A-5 to this prospectus supplement. Although the Mortgage Loans within each group of cross-collateralized and/or cross-defaulted Mortgage Loans are generally cross-collateralized and/or cross-defaulted with the other Mortgage Loans in such group, the Mortgage Loans in one group are not cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted with the Mortgage Loans in any other group. As of the Closing Date, no Mortgage Loan, except the Co-Lender Loans, will be cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted with any loan that is not included in the Mortgage Pool. See ‘‘RISK FACTORS—Limitations on the Benefits of Cross-Collateralized and Cross-Defaulted Properties.’’ The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, will determine whether to enforce the cross-default and cross-collateralization rights upon a mortgage loan default with respect to any of these Mortgage Loans. The Certificateholders will not have any right to participate in or control any such determination. No other Mortgage Loans are subject to cross-collateralization or cross-default provisions.
Partial Releases. Certain of the Mortgage Loans permit a partial release of a portion of the related Mortgaged Property not material to the underwriting of the Mortgage Loan at the time of origination, without any prepayment or defeasance of the Mortgage Loan.
With respect to 9 Mortgage Loans (loan numbers 1, 3, 14, 24, 38, 76, 77, 91 and 104), representing approximately 18.9% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (21.8% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance), the related Mortgage Loan documents permit the release of a parcel without the payment of a release price provided that, among other things, certain financial conditions are met.
Substitutions. Certain of the Mortgage Loans permit the related borrowers to substitute Mortgaged Properties of like kind and quality for the properties securing the related Mortgage Loans, upon mortgagee consent and subject to certain conditions, including loan-to-value tests and debt service coverage tests, and, in certain cases, the related Mortgage Loan documents also provide for the delivery of an opinion of counsel that the proposed substitution will not adversely affect the REMIC status of the Trust Fund and written confirmation from the Rating Agencies that any ratings of the Certificates will not, as a result of the proposed substitution, be downgraded, qualified or withdrawn. See ‘‘RISK FACTORS —The Mortgage Loans—Substitution of Mortgaged Properties May Lead to Increased Risks’’ in this prospectus supplement.
Certain State Specific Considerations
Twelve (12) of the Mortgage Loans (loan numbers 1, 21, 39, 61, 68, 73, 79, 80, 86, 90, 105 and 114), representing approximately 14.6% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (5 Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 1 or 13.1% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance and 7 Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 2 or 24.2% of the Cut-Off Date Group 2 Balance), are secured by Mortgaged Properties that are located in Texas. Mortgage loans in Texas are generally secured by deeds of trust on the related real estate. Foreclosure of a deed of trust in Texas may be accomplished by a non-judicial trustee’s sale under a specific provision in the deed of trust or by judicial foreclosure. Any such action must be brought within 4 years after the accrual of the cause of action. With respect to a judicial foreclosure, notwithstanding anything in the deed of trust to the contrary, the mortgagee must give the borrower written notice delivered by certified mail that it is in default and provide 20 days for the borrower to cure such default before any judicial foreclosure is permitted. With respect to a trustee’s sale, the lender must give the borrower written notice delivered by certified mail that it is in default and provide 21 days for the borrower to cure such default before any judicial foreclosure is permitted. Public notice of either trustee’s sale is continued for at least 21 days in statutory form after which the mortgaged real estate may be sold by the trustee. Any trustee sale must be made pursuant to the terms of the deed of trust at a public venue at the county courthouse of the county in which any portion of the real estate is located, between the hours of 10 A.M. and 4 P.M. on the first Tuesday of the month after the month in which the statutory notice period has been satisfied in an area designated by the commissioners’ court. Under Texas law, the borrower does not have the right to redeem the real estate after a judicial foreclosure or trustee’s sale. Under Texas law, if the sale price at a judicial foreclosure or trustee’s sale is less than the fair market value of the real estate, any obligor (including any guarantor) may be required to offset the deficiency between the fair market value and the sale price.
S-101
Seven (7) of the Mortgage Loans (loan numbers 6, 9, 10, 18, 28, 52 and 89), representing approximately 10.5% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (12.1% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance), are secured by Mortgaged Properties that are located in Florida. Mortgage loans involving real property in Florida are secured by mortgages, and foreclosures are accomplished by judicial foreclosure. There is no power of sale in Florida. After an action for foreclosure is commenced and a mortgagee secures a judgment, the final judgment will provide that the mortgaged property be sold at a public sale at the courthouse if the full amount of the judgment is not paid prior to the scheduled sale. Generally, the foreclosure sale must occur no earlier than 20 (but not more than 35) days after the judgment is entered. During this period, a notice of sale must be published twice in the county in which the mortgaged property is located. There is no right of redemption after the foreclosure sale. Florida does not have a ‘‘one action rule’’ or ‘‘anti-deficiency legislation’’. Subsequent to a foreclosure sale, however, a mortgagee may be required to prove the value of the mortgaged property sold as of the date of foreclosure in order to recover a deficiency. Furthermore, other statutory provisions in Florida limit any deficiency judgment (if otherwise permitted) against a borrower following a judicial sale to the excess of the outstanding debt over the value of the mortgaged property at the time of the judicial sale. In certain circumstances, the mortgagee may have a receiver appointed.
Assessments of Property Condition
Property Inspections. Generally, the Mortgaged Properties were inspected by or on behalf of the Mortgage Loan Sellers in connection with the origination or acquisition of the related Mortgage Loans to assess their general condition. No inspection revealed any patent structural deficiency or any deferred maintenance considered material and adverse to the value of the Mortgaged Property as security for the related Mortgage Loan, except in such cases where adequate reserves have been established.
Appraisals. All of the Mortgaged Properties were appraised by a state-certified appraiser or an appraiser belonging to the Appraisal Institute in accordance with the Federal Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989. The primary purpose of each appraisal was to provide an opinion as to the market value of the related Mortgaged Property. There can be no assurance that another appraiser would have arrived at the same opinion of market value. In addition, with respect to 9 Mortgaged Properties (loan numbers 3, 4, 10, 11, 13, 15, 19, 28 and 69), representing by allocated loan amount approximately 17.7% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (7 Mortgaged Properties in Loan Group 1 or 18.2% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance and 2 Mortgaged Properties in Loan Group 2 or 13.7% of the Cut-Off Date Group 2 Balance), the appraised value represented is the ‘‘as-stabilized’’ value. See also ‘‘RISK FACTORS—The Mortgage Loans—Inspections and Appraisals May Not Accurately Reflect Value or Condition of Mortgaged Property’’ in this prospectus supplement.
Environmental Assessments. A ‘‘Phase I’’ environmental site assessment was performed by independent environmental consultants with respect to each Mortgaged Property in connection with the origination of the related Mortgage Loans. ‘‘Phase I’’ environmental site assessments generally do not include environmental testing. In certain cases, environmental testing, including in some cases a ‘‘Phase II’’ environmental site assessment as recommended by such ‘‘Phase I’’ assessment, was performed. Generally, in each case where environmental assessments recommended corrective action, the originator of the Mortgage Loan determined that the necessary corrective action had been undertaken in a satisfactory manner, was being undertaken in a satisfactory manner or that such corrective action would be adequately addressed post-closing. In some instances, the originator required that reserves be established to cover the estimated cost of such remediation or an environmental insurance policy was obtained from a third-party. See also ‘‘RISK FACTORS—The Mortgage Loans—Environmental Laws May Adversely Affect the Value of and Cash Flow from a Mortgaged Property’’ in this prospectus supplement.
Engineering Assessments. In connection with the origination of all of the Mortgage Loans, other than 3 Mortgage Loans (loan numbers 57, 62 and 74), representing approximately 1.3% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (1.5% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance), a licensed engineer or architect inspected the related Mortgaged Property to assess the condition of the structure, exterior walls, roofing, interior structure and mechanical and electrical systems. The resulting reports indicated deferred maintenance items and/or recommended capital improvements on the Mortgaged Properties. Generally,
S-102
with respect to a majority of Mortgaged Properties, the related borrowers were required to deposit with the mortgagee an amount equal to at least 100% of the licensed engineer’s estimated cost of the recommended repairs, corrections or replacements to assure their completion; provided, however, the mortgagee may waive such required deposits under certain circumstances.
Earthquake Analyses. An architectural and/or engineering consultant performed an analysis on certain Mortgaged Properties located in areas considered to be an earthquake risk, which includes California, in order to evaluate the structural and seismic condition of the property and to assess, based primarily on statistical information, the maximum probable loss for the property in an earthquake scenario.

The Mortgage Loan documents for the Subordinate Loans generally may be amended without the consent of the holder of the related Subordinate Loan; except for certain amendments relating to, among other things, the economic terms of the related Mortgage Loan, the cash management provisions and the collateral for the related Mortgage Loan; provided, however, in a work-out context the forgoing consent is generally not required.
The holders of the Subordinate Loans may not exercise any rights they may have under the related Mortgage Loan documents or applicable law with respect to a foreclosure or other realization upon the related Mortgaged Property without the prior written consent of the mortgagee, which consent can be withheld or conditioned in the mortgagee’s sole and absolute discretion.
Additional Mortgage Loan Information
For a detailed presentation of certain of the characteristics of the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties, on an individual basis, see Annexes A-1, A-2, A-3, A-4 and A-5 to this prospectus supplement. For purposes of numerical and statistical information set forth in this prospectus supplement and Annexes A-1, A-2, A-3, A-4 and A-5 unless otherwise specified, such numerical and statistical information excludes any Subordinate Companion Loans. For purposes of the calculation of the DSC Ratio, the LTV Ratio and Cut-Off Date Balance per Sq. Ft., Unit, Pad or Room with respect to the Prime Outlets Pool II Loan, such ratios are calculated based upon the aggregate debt service on or aggregate indebtedness of the Prime Outlets Pool II Loan and the Prime Outlets Pool II Pari Passu Companion Loan. Certain of the Mortgage Loans may have previously computed interest on a floating rate basis, but have been converted to a fixed rate prior to the Closing Date. For purposes of the calculation of DSC Ratios and LTV Ratios with respect to The Woodlands Mall Loan, such information excludes The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component and The Woodlands Mall Subordinate Companion Loan. With respect to these Mortgage Loans, all calculations in this prospectus supplement will be computed on the basis of the date any such Mortgage Loan was converted to a fixed rate, rather than the date of origination. Certain additional information regarding the Mortgage Loans is contained under ‘‘—Assignment of the Mortgage Loans; Repurchases and Substitutions’’ and ‘‘—Representations and Warranties; Repurchases and Substitutions,’’ in this prospectus supplement and under ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE TRUST FUNDS’’ and ‘‘CERTAIN LEGAL ASPECTS OF MORTGAGE LOANS AND LEASES’’ in the accompanying prospectus.
In the schedule and tables set forth in Annexes A-1, A-2, A-3, A-4 and A-5 to this prospectus supplement, cross-collateralized Mortgage Loans are not grouped together; instead, references are made under the heading ‘‘Cross Collateralized and Cross Defaulted Loan Flag’’ with respect to the other Mortgage Loans with which they are cross-collateralized.
Each of the tables herein and in the Annexes sets forth certain characteristics of the Mortgage Pool presented, where applicable, as of the Cut-Off Date. For purposes of the tables and Annexes A-1, A-2, A-3, A-4 and A-5:
(i) References to ‘‘DSC Ratio’’ and ‘‘DSCR’’ are references to debt service coverage ratios. Debt service coverage ratios are used by income property lenders to measure the ratio of (a) cash currently generated by a property that is available for debt service (that is, cash that remains after average cost of non-capital expenses of operation, tenant improvements, leasing commissions, replacement reserves and furniture, fixture and equipment reserves during the term of the Mortgage Loan) to (b) required debt service payments. However, debt service coverage ratios only measure the current, or recent, ability of a property to service mortgage debt. The DSC Ratio for any Mortgage Loan or Pari Passu Loan is the ratio of Net Cash Flow produced by the related Mortgaged Property to the annualized amount of debt service that will be payable under that Mortgage Loan commencing after the origination date. The ‘‘Net Cash
S-117
Flow’’ for a Mortgaged Property is the ‘‘net cash flow’’ of such Mortgaged Property as set forth in, or determined by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller on the basis of, Mortgaged Property operating statements, generally unaudited, and certified rent rolls (as applicable) supplied by the related borrower in the case of multifamily, mixed-use, retail, industrial, residential health care, self-storage and office properties (each a ‘‘Rental Property’’); provided, however, for purposes of calculating the DSC Ratios and DSC Ratio provided herein (i) with respect to 50 Mortgage Loans, representing 51.6% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (37 Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 1 or 50.1% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance and 13 Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 2 or 61.5% of the Cut-Off Date Group 2 Balance) where Periodic Payments are interest-only for a certain amount of time after origination after which date the Mortgage Loan amortizes principal for the remaining term of the loan the debt service used is the annualized amount of debt service that will be payable under the Mortgage Loan commencing after the amortization period begins; (ii) with respect to 8 Mortgage Loans (loan numbers 16, 24, 31, 42, 63, 78, 81 and 82), representing 5.4% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (6 Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 1 or 5.1% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance and 2 Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 2 or 7.1% of the Cut-Off Date Group 2 Balance), such ratio was adjusted by taking into account amounts available under letters of credit or certain cash reserves; (iv) with respect to Mortgage Loans that are interest only until paid off at maturity, the annual debt service used is based on the outstanding loan amount times the applicable interest rate without regard to interest accrual basis; provided, further, that, for purposes of calculating the DSCR’s provided herein for each Pari Passu Loan, the debt service on the related Pari Passu Companion Loan will be taken into account. In general, the Mortgage Loan Sellers relied on either full-year operating statements, rolling 12-month operating statements and/or applicable year-to-date financial statements, if available, and on rent rolls for all Rental Properties that were current as of a date not earlier than six months prior to the respective date of origination in determining Net Cash Flow for the Mortgaged Properties.
In general, ‘‘net cash flow’’ is the revenue derived from the use and operation of a Mortgaged Property less operating expenses (such as utilities, administrative expenses, repairs and maintenance, tenant improvement costs, leasing commissions, management fees and advertising), fixed expenses (such as insurance, real estate taxes and, if applicable, ground lease payments) and replacement reserves and an allowance for vacancies and credit losses. Net Cash Flow does not reflect interest expenses and non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization, and generally does not reflect capital expenditures, but does reflect reserves for replacements and an allowance for vacancies and credit losses.
In determining the ‘‘revenue’’ component of Net Cash Flow for each Rental Property, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller generally relied on the most recent rent roll and/or other known, signed tenant leases, executed extension options, master leases or other indications of anticipated income (generally supported by market considerations, cash reserves or letters of credit) supplied and, where the actual vacancy shown thereon and the market vacancy was less than 5.0%, assumed a 5.0% vacancy in determining revenue from rents, except that in the case of certain non-multifamily properties, space occupied by such anchor or single tenants or other large creditworthy tenants may have been disregarded (or a rate of less than 5.0% has been assumed) in performing the vacancy adjustment due to the length of the related leases or creditworthiness of such tenants, in accordance with the respective Mortgage Loan Seller’s underwriting standards. Where the actual or market vacancy was not less than 5.0%, the applicable Mortgage Loan Sellers determined revenue from rents by generally relying on the most recent rent roll and/or other known, signed leases, executed lease extension options, master leases or other indications of anticipated income (generally supported by market considerations, cash reserves or letters of credit) supplied and the greater of (a) actual historical vacancy at the related Mortgaged Property, (b) historical vacancy at comparable properties in the same market as the related Mortgaged Property, and (c) 5.0%. In determining rental revenue for multifamily and self storage properties, the Mortgage Loan Sellers generally either reviewed rental revenue shown on the certified rolling 12-month operating statements, the rolling 3-month operating statements for multifamily properties or annualized the rental revenue and reimbursement of expenses shown on rent rolls or operating statements with respect to the prior one-to-twelve month periods. For the other Rental Properties, the Mortgage Loan Sellers generally annualized rental revenue shown on the most recent certified rent roll (as applicable), after applying the vacancy factor, without further regard to the terms (including expiration dates) of the leases shown
S-118
thereon. In the case of hospitality properties, gross receipts were generally determined based upon the average occupancy not to exceed 75.0% and daily rates achieved during the prior two-to-three year annual reporting period. In the case of residential health care facilities, receipts were based on historical occupancy levels, historical operating revenues and then current occupancy rates. Occupancy rates for the private health care facilities were generally within then current market ranges, and vacancy levels were generally a minimum of 5.0%. In general, any non-recurring items and non-property related revenue were eliminated from the calculation except in the case of residential health care facilities.
In determining the ‘‘expense’’ component of Net Cash Flow for each Mortgaged Property, the Mortgage Loan Sellers generally relied on rolling 12-month operating statements and/or full-year or year-to-date financial statements supplied by the related borrower, except that (a) if tax or insurance expense information more current than that reflected in the financial statements was available, the newer information was used, (b) property management fees were generally assumed to be 1.0% to 7.0% of effective gross revenue (except with respect to full service hospitality properties, where a minimum of 3.0% of gross receipts was assumed, with respect to limited service hospitality properties, where a minimum of 4.0% of gross receipts was assumed, and with respect to single tenant properties, where fees as low as 1.0% of effective gross receipts were assumed), (c) assumptions were made with respect to reserves for leasing commissions, tenant improvement expenses and capital expenditures and (d) expenses were assumed to include annual replacement reserves. See ‘‘—Wachovia’s Underwriting Standards— Escrow Requirements—Replacement Reserves’’ and ‘‘—Artesia’s Underwriting Standards—Escrow Requirements’’ in this prospectus supplement. In addition, in some instances, the Mortgage Loan Sellers recharacterized as capital expenditures those items reported by borrowers as operating expenses (thus increasing ‘‘net cash flow’’) where the Mortgage Loan Sellers determined appropriate.
The borrowers’ financial information used to determine Net Cash Flow was in most cases borrower certified, but unaudited, and neither the Mortgage Loan Sellers nor the Depositor verified their accuracy.
(ii) References to ‘‘Cut-Off Date LTV’’ and ‘‘Cut-Off Date LTV Ratio’’ are references to the ratio, expressed as a percentage, of the Cut-Off Date Balance of a Mortgage Loan (or, in the case of the Prime Outlets Pool II Loan including the Prime Outlets Pool II Pari Passu Companion Loan) to the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property as shown on the most recent third-party appraisal thereof available to the Mortgage Loan Sellers, which for 9 Mortgaged Properties (loan numbers 3, 4, 10, 11, 13, 15, 19, 28 and 69), representing approximately 17.7% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (7 Mortgaged Properties in Loan Group 1 or 18.2% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance and 2 Mortgaged Properties in Loan Group 2 or 13.7% of the Cut-Off Date Group 2 Balance), the appraised value represented is the ‘‘as-stabilized’’ value. See ‘‘RISK FACTORS—Inspections and Appraisals May Not Accurately Reflect Value or Condition of Mortgaged Property’’ in this prospectus supplement. The table below shows the Cut-Off Date LTV Ratios calculated using the ‘‘as-is’’ appraised values and the ‘‘as-stabilized’’ appraised values for the 9 Mortgage Loans:

(1) | The ‘‘as-stabilized’’ appraised value as of March 1, 2007 assumes that the Mortgaged Property has leased up to stabilization. The ‘‘as-is’’ appraised value is $99,200,000, which, net of the $11,000,000 economic hold back, yields a Cut-Off Date LTV Ratio of 62.5% and a Maturity Date LTV Ratio of 51.8%. |
(2) | The ‘‘as-stabilized’’ appraised value as of April 1, 2007 asssumes that the new construction and the rehabilitation of the pre-existing buildings have been completed. The ‘‘as-is’’ appraised value is $32,800,000 and using this value and netting the loan amount of $30,600,000 against the aggregate up-front holdbacks of $3,758,425 results in a Cut-Off Date LTV Ratio of 81.8% and a Maturity Date LTV Ratio of 81.8%. |
(3) | The ‘‘as-stabilized’’ appraised value as of October 1, 2006 assumes that the renovations have been completed and all units are |

(4) | The ‘‘as-stabilized’’ appraised value as of May 1, 2007 assumes that the Mortgaged Property has achieved a stabilized occupancy based on direct third-party leases without the current master lease. The ‘‘as-is’’ appraised value is $23,000,000, which results in a Cut-Off Date LTV Ratio of 91.3% and a Maturity Date LTV Ratio of 88.5%. |
(5) | The ‘‘as-stabilized’’ appraised value as of December 1, 2007 assumes that the expansion program for the 7 new units has been completed. The ‘‘as-is’’ appraised value is $7,000,000 and netting the letter of credit of $1,450,000 results in a Cut-Off Date LTV Ratio of 73.6% and a Maturity Date LTV Ratio of 62.3%. |
(iii) References to ‘‘Maturity Date LTV Ratio’’ and ‘‘LTV at ARD or Maturity’’ are references to the ratio, expressed as a percentage, of the expected balance of a Balloon Loan (or, in the case of the Prime Outlets Pool II Loan, including the Prime Outlets Pool II Pari Passu Companion Loan) on its scheduled maturity date (or for an ARD Loan on its Anticipated Repayment Date) (prior to the payment of any Balloon Payment or principal prepayments) to the appraised value of portions of the related Mortgaged Property as shown on the most recent third-party appraisal thereof available to the Mortgage Loan Sellers, which for 9 Mortgaged Properties (loan numbers 3, 4, 10, 11, 13, 15, 19, 28 and 69), representing by allocated loan amount approximately 17.7% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (7 Mortgaged Properties in Loan Group 1 or 18.2% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance and 2 Mortgaged Properties in Loan Group 2 or 13.7% of the Cut-Off Date Group 2 Balance), the appraised value represented is the ‘‘as-stabilized’’ value.

(xi) References to ‘‘L ( )’’ or ‘‘Lockout’’ or ‘‘Lockout Period’’ represent, with respect to each Mortgage Loan, the period during which prepayments of principal are prohibited and no substitution of Defeasance Collateral is permitted. The number indicated in the parentheses indicates the number of monthly payments of such period (calculated for each Mortgage Loan from the date of its origination). References to ‘‘O ( )’’ represent the number of monthly payments for which (a) no Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge is assessed and (b) defeasance is no longer required. References to ‘‘YM ( )’’ represent the period for which the Yield Maintenance Charge is assessed. ‘‘3% ( )’’, ‘‘2% ( )’’ and ‘‘1% ( )’’ each represents the period for which a Prepayment Premium is assessed and the respective percentage used in the calculation thereof. The periods, if any, between consecutive Due Dates occurring prior to the maturity date or Anticipated Repayment Date, as applicable, of a Mortgage Loan during which the related borrower will have the right to prepay such Mortgage Loan without being required to pay a Prepayment Premium or a Yield Maintenance Charge (each such period, an ‘‘Open Period’’) with respect to all of the Mortgage Loans have been calculated as those Open Periods occurring immediately prior to the maturity date or Anticipated Repayment Date, as applicable, of such Mortgage Loan as set forth in the related Mortgage Loan documents.
(xii) References to ‘‘D ( )’’ or ‘‘Defeasance’’ represent, with respect to each Mortgage Loan, the period (in months) during which the related holder of the Mortgage has the right to require the related borrower, in lieu of a principal prepayment, to pledge to such holder Defeasance Collateral.

For commercial properties, Occupancy Percentages may include tenants who have signed leases but who are not currently occupying their space. With respect to 1 Mortgage Loan (loan number 11), representing 1.9% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (2.2% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance), the Occupancy Percentage was calculated assuming, pursuant to an executed letter of intent, that PetSmart will occupy approximately 20,000 square feet at the Mortgaged Property. Although an executed direct lease does not exist, $700,000 was held back from the proceeds of the related Mortgage Loan until such time as the tenant takes occupancy and begins paying rent.

The Woodlands Mall Loan
The Loan. The Woodlands Mall mortgage loan (‘‘The Woodlands Mall Loan’’) represents a mortgage loan evidenced by a senior promissory note (‘‘The Woodlands Mall Note’’), dated June 1, 2006, in the original principal amount of $185,000,000. The Mortgaged Property secures The Woodlands Mall Loan and a subordinate loan (the ‘‘The Woodlands Mall Companion Loan’’ and, together with The Woodlands Mall Loan, the ‘‘The Woodlands Mall Whole Loan’’), which is evidenced by a subordinate promissory note (the ‘‘The Woodlands Mall Companion Note’’), dated June 1, 2006, in the original principal amount of $55,000,000. The Woodlands Mall Companion Loan will not be included in the Trust
S-123
Fund. The Woodlands Mall Loan will be deemed to be split into a pooled component (the ‘‘The Woodlands Mall Pooled Component’’), with a Component Principal Balance of $175,000,000 that supports distributions on the Certificates (other than the Class WM Certificates) and a non-pooled component (the ‘‘The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component’’), with a Component Principal Balance of $10,000,000, that supports only the Class WM Certificates, which are not being offered hereby. The Woodlands Mall Note, together with The Woodlands Mall Companion Note, comprise the aggregate indebtedness on the Mortgaged Property in the amount of $240,000,000. The Woodlands Mall Loan is secured by a first priority mortgage (the ‘‘The Woodlands Mall Mortgage’’), subject to permitted encumbrances, on the borrower's fee interest in certain parcels of real property located in The Woodlands, Texas. The Woodlands Mall Pooled Component represents approximately 10.1% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance. The Woodlands Mall Loan was originated on June 1, 2006, and has an outstanding principal balance as of the Cut-Off Date of $185,000,000. The Woodlands Mall Note bears interest at 5.914% per annum.
As of the Cut-Off Date, The Woodlands Mall Loan has a remaining term of 60 months and matures on June 11, 2011. The Woodlands Mall Loan may be (i) prepaid in whole, but not in part, on or after December 11, 2010 with no prepayment charge or (ii) defeased with United States government obligations in whole at any time beginning two years after the Closing Date, but prior to December 11, 2010.
The Borrower. The borrower is The Woodlands Mall Associates, LP, a Delaware limited partnership and a special purpose entity. Legal counsel to the borrower delivered a non-consolidation opinion in connection with the origination of The Woodlands Mall Loan. The sponsor is General Growth Properties, Inc. (‘‘GGP’’), a publicly traded real estate investment trust. GGP and its predecessor companies have been in the shopping center business for over fifty years. As the second largest regional mall REIT, GGP owns, develops, operates, and/or manages shopping malls in 44 states. As of December 31, 2005, GGP had ownership interests in and/or management responsibility for more than 200 regional shopping malls.
Guaranty and Indemnification. The Woodlands Mall Loan is generally non-recourse. The Woodlands Mall Loan is fully recourse to the borrower in the event of (a) any voluntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding being commenced by the borrower under the bankruptcy code or any similar federal or state law, or (b) any involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding being commenced by any person (other than the mortgagee) against the borrower in connection with which the borrower, any sponsor or any affiliate has or have colluded in any way with the creditors (other than the mortgagee) commencing or filing such proceeding. Under limited circumstances, The Woodlands Mall Loan is recourse to the borrower for losses or damages arising out of certain circumstances, including: (i) fraud or material misrepresentation by the borrower in connection with the Mortgage Loan documents; (ii) willful misconduct of the borrower; (iii) the breach in any material respect of any environmental or similar representation, warranty, covenant or indemnity provision in any Mortgage Loan document; (iv) the removal or disposal of any portion of the Mortgaged Property other than in the ordinary course of business of owning, operating or managing the Mortgaged Property after an event of default; (v) misapplication or conversion by the borrower of any rents collected or received after an event of default; (vi) misappropriation by the borrower of any security or other deposits; (vii) misappropriation or conversion by the borrower of casualty insurance proceeds or condemnation proceeds; (viii) the borrower's failure to comply with certain provisions of the Mortgage Loan documents relating to its organization and existence; (ix) a transfer in violation of the Mortgage Loan documents or (x) the borrower's failure to pay charges for labor and materials that create liens on the Mortgaged Property.
In connection with the release of The Woodlands Mall Anchor Parcel (as defined below), as described below under ‘‘—Partial Release’’, GGP/Homart, Inc., a Delaware Corporation (‘‘GGP/Homart’’), has agreed to provide a recourse guaranty (the ‘‘The Woodlands Mall Substitute Guaranty’’) to the mortgagee in an amount up to $10,000,000 for the full and prompt payment of the borrower's obligations under the Mortgage Loan documents. In addition, the Mortgage Loan documents provide that if, in connection with any alteration of the Mortgaged Property, the total unpaid amounts due with respect to such alteration exceed 5% of the original principal balance of The Woodlands Mall Whole Loan (the ‘‘The Woodlands Mall Threshold Amount’’), then the borrower must either provide additional security for such amounts in excess of The Woodlands Mall Threshold Amount or provide an acceptable
S-124
indemnitor to indemnify the mortgagee against any loss, cost or damage resulting from the borrower's failure to pay such amounts in excess of The Woodlands Mall Threshold Amount.
Insurance. The borrower is required to maintain insurance against loss or damage by fire, casualty and other hazards included in a comprehensive ‘‘all-risk’’ policy or its equivalent, with such endorsements as the mortgagee may from time to time reasonably require and which are customarily required by institutional lenders of similar properties similarly situated, including, without limitation, (i) if the Mortgaged Property constitutes a legal non-conforming use, an ordinance of law coverage endorsement, (ii) an agreed amount endorsement waiving all co-insurance provisions and (iii) endorsements for (a) demolition costs, (b) losses due to operation of law, and (c) increased costs of construction covering the Mortgaged Property, in an amount not less than 100% of the insurable replacement value of the Mortgaged Property with a waiver for depreciation, but in no event less than the original principal amount of The Woodlands Mall Whole Loan. In addition, the borrower is required to maintain, in accordance with the Mortgage Loan documents, certain insurance for the Mortgaged Property, including, but not limited to, commercial general liability insurance, business interruption insurance, boiler and machinery insurance and terrorism insurance. All policies of insurance are required to be issued by one or more financially sound and responsible insurance companies meeting the Rating Agency and financial requirements set forth in the Mortgage Loan documents.

The Mortgage Loan documents provide that if the Mortgaged Property is damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, or if any portion of the Mortgaged Property is taken by any governmental authority through eminent domain or otherwise, the borrower is required to give prompt notice to the mortgagee.
The borrower must promptly proceed with the repair or rebuilding of the improvements as nearly as possible substantially to the condition the Mortgaged Property was in immediately prior to such damage or destruction or taking (a ‘‘The Woodlands Mall Restoration’’). In the event that the net insurance or condemnation proceeds or the costs of completing The Woodlands Mall Restoration is less than The Woodlands Mall Threshold Amount, the net insurance or condemnation proceeds will be disbursed to the borrower to be used for The Woodlands Mall Restoration provided certain conditions are satisfied, including: (a) no event of default under The Woodlands Mall Whole Loan has occurred; (b) the borrower must undertake to complete The Woodlands Mall Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (subject to delays for force majeure), but in no event later than 60 days after such proceeds are received and in no event later than 120 days following such damage or taking; (c) the Mortgaged Property and the use thereof must be in compliance with all applicable zoning laws, ordinances, rules and regulations; and (d) The Woodlands Mall Restoration must be completed by the borrower in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable legal requirements.

S-125

On or before each payment date, all funds transferred or deposited into The Woodlands Mall Cash Collateral Account will be applied as set forth in the Mortgage Loan documents as follows: (i) first, to a reserve for taxes and insurance; (ii) second, to a reserve for the monthly debt service payments; (iii) third, to a reserve for replacement costs; (iv) fourth, to a reserve for tenant improvements and leasing commissions; (v) fifth, to mortgagee for any amounts due under the Mortgage Loan Documents; (vi) sixth, during the occurrence and continuance of an event of default, to the borrower for operating expenses and capital expenses in accordance with the Mortgage Loan documents; and (vii) lastly, unless an event of default has occurred and is continuing, any excess amounts to the borrower.
Additional Debt. The borrower may not incur any debt other than: (i) The Woodlands Mall Whole Loan; (ii) trade and operational debt which is incurred in the ordinary course of business with trade creditors in amounts as are normal and reasonable under the circumstances; provided, such debt does not exceed The Woodlands Mall Threshold Amount, is not evidenced by a note and is not in excess of 60 days past due (unless the same is subject to good faith dispute by borrower, in appropriate proceedings, and for which adequate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP); (iii) capital expenditures having a cost in the aggregate (taking into account all capital expenditures which are ongoing or which have not been paid for in full) not in excess of The Woodlands Mall Threshold Amount; provided, however, the borrower may be permitted to incur capital expenditures having a cost in the aggregate in excess of The Woodlands Mall Threshold Amount provided that in no event shall the sum of unpaid capital expenditures outstanding at any one time when aggregated with outstanding trade and operational debt exceed 7.5% of the original principal amount of The Woodlands Mall Whole Loan, and (iv) the Additional Financing. No indebtedness other than The Woodlands Mall Whole Loan or any Additional Financing may be secured (senior, subordinate or pari passu) by the Mortgaged Property (other than indebtedness, if any, secured by permitted encumbrances).
Property Management. The Mortgaged Property is managed by General Growth Management, Inc., a Delaware corporation, an affiliate of the borrower (the ‘‘The Woodlands Mall Property Manager’’). The Mortgage Loan documents permit the Mortgaged Property to be managed by a Woodlands Mall

The Sponsors
Wachovia Bank, National Association
General. Wachovia Bank, National Association (‘‘Wachovia’’), a national banking association, is a Sponsor of this securitization, and acquired or originated and underwrote 85 Mortgage Loans included in the Trust Fund. Wachovia is a national bank and acquires and originates mortgage loans for its own portfolio and for public and private securitizations through its network of 13 regional offices and 3,131 financial centers. Wachovia’s principal offices are located in Charlotte, North Carolina, and its telephone number is (704) 374-6161. Wachovia is also acting as a Mortgage Loan Seller and as the Master Servicer with respect to the Offered Certificates. Wachovia is an affiliate of Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC, one
S-130
of the Underwriters, and of Wachovia Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc. (the ‘‘Depositor’’). See ‘‘THE SPONSOR’’ in the accompanying prospectus.
Wachovia’s Securitization Program. One of Wachovia’s primary business lines is the underwriting and origination of mortgage loans secured by commercial or multifamily properties. With respect to mortgage loans that are originated for securitization purposes, Wachovia sells these loans through its CMBS securitization program. Wachovia, with its commercial mortgage lending affiliates and predecessors, began originating and securitizing commercial mortgage loans in 1995. As of January 1, 2006, the total amount of commercial mortgage loans originated and securitized by Wachovia since 1995 is approximately $42.7 billion. Approximately $39.4 billion have been securitized by an affiliate of Wachovia acting as depositor, and approximately $3.9 billion have been securitized by an unaffiliated entity acting as depositor. In its fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, Wachovia originated and securitized approximately $16.2 billion of commercial mortgage loans, of which approximately $15.7 billion were securitized by an affiliate of Wachovia acting as depositor, and approximately $500 million were securitized by an unaffiliated entity acting as depositor.
Wachovia and its affiliates have been and are currently involved with the origination and/or securitization of auto loans and leases, student loans, home equity loans, credit card receivables, manufactured housing contracts, commercial equipment leases, residential mortgage loans and commercial mortgage loans, as well as less traditional asset classes. Wachovia and its affiliates have also participated in a variety of collateralized loan obligation transactions, synthetic securitizations and asset-backed commercial paper programs. Wachovia and its affiliates have served as sponsors, issuers, dealers, and servicers in a wide array of securitization transactions. Additionally, Wachovia acts as master servicer, special servicer and/or swap counterparty on various commercial mortgage-backed securitizations.
Wachovia’s commercial mortgage loan securitization program has grown from approximately $423 million of securitized commercial mortgage loans in 1995 to approximately $3.4 billion of securitized commercial mortgage loans in 2001 and to approximately $16.2 billion of securitized commercial mortgage loans in 2005. The commercial mortgage loans originated and securitized by Wachovia include both fixed and floating-rate loans, that generally range in size from $2 million up to $500 million. Wachovia primarily originates loans secured by retail, office, multifamily, hospitality, industrial and self-storage properties, but also originates loans secured by manufactured housing communities, land subject to a ground lease and mixed use properties. Wachovia originates loans in each of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
As a Sponsor, Wachovia originates mortgage loans with the intent to securitize them and, either by itself or together with other sponsors or loan sellers, initiates a securitization by transferring the mortgage loans to a depositor, which in turn transfers them to the issuer for the related securitization. In coordination with Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC and other underwriters, Wachovia works with rating agencies, other loan sellers and servicers in structuring securitization transactions. Wachovia, or an affiliate, acts as sponsor, originator, underwriter or loan seller both in transactions in which it is the sole sponsor and mortgage loan seller as well as in transactions in which other entities act as sponsor and/or mortgage loan seller. Wachovia’s primary securitization program is the Wachovia Bank Commercial Mortgage Trust program, in which Wachovia and other national banks and corporations generally act as mortgage loan sellers and Wachovia Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc., an affiliate of Wachovia, acts as the depositor. As of January 1, 2006, Wachovia securitized approximately $39.4 billion through the Wachovia Bank Commercial Mortgage Trust program (or predecessor programs).
Wachovia’s Underwriting Standards
General. Wachovia’s commercial real estate finance group has the authority, with the approval from the appropriate credit committee, to originate fixed-rate, first lien commercial or multifamily mortgage loans for securitization. Wachovia’s commercial real estate finance operation is staffed by real estate professionals. Wachovia’s loan underwriting group is an integral component of the commercial real estate finance group which also includes groups responsible for loan origination and closing mortgage loans.
Upon receipt of a loan application, Wachovia’s loan underwriters commence an extensive review of the borrower’s financial condition and creditworthiness and the real property which will secure the loan.
S-131
Notwithstanding the discussion below, given the unique nature of income-producing real properties, the underwriting and origination procedures and the credit analysis with respect to any particular multifamily or commercial mortgage loan may differ significantly from one asset to another, and will be driven by circumstances particular to that property, including, among others, its type, current use, physical quality, size, environmental condition, location, market conditions, capital reserve requirements and additional collateral, tenants and leases, borrower identity, borrower sponsorship and/or performance history, and certain other factors. Consequently, there can be no assurance that the underwriting of any particular multifamily or commercial mortgage loan will conform to the general guidelines described in this ‘‘—Underwriting Standards for Wachovia’’ section.
Loan Analysis. Generally, Wachovia performs both a credit analysis and collateral analysis with respect to a loan applicant and the real estate that will secure the loan. In general, credit analysis of the borrower and the real estate includes a review of historical financial statements, including rent rolls (generally unaudited), third-party credit reports, judgment, lien, bankruptcy and pending litigation searches and, if applicable, the loan payment history of the borrower. Wachovia typically performs a qualitative analysis which incorporates independent credit checks and published debt and equity information with respect to certain principals of the borrower as well as the borrower itself. Borrowers are generally required to be single-purpose entities although they are generally not required to be structured to limit the possibility of becoming insolvent or bankrupt. The collateral analysis typically includes an analysis of the historical property operating statements, rent rolls, operating budgets, a projection of future performance, if applicable, and a review of tenant leases. Wachovia generally requires third-party appraisals, as well as environmental and property condition reports and, if determined by Wachovia to be applicable, seismic reports. Each report is reviewed for acceptability by a staff member of Wachovia or a third-party consultant for compliance with program standards. Generally, the results of these reviews are incorporated into the underwriting report. One (1) Mortgage Loan (loan number 115), representing 0.1% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (0.7% of the Cut-Off Date Group 2 Balance), sold to the Depositor by Wachovia, was originated by Potomac Realty Capital, LLC. Wachovia re-underwrote such Mortgage Loan to Wachovia’s underwriting guidelines. In some instances, one or more provisions of the guidelines were waived or modified by Wachovia where it was determined not to adversely affect the Mortgage Loans originated by it in any material respect.
Loan Approval. Prior to commitment, all mortgage loans to be originated by Wachovia must be approved by one or more—depending on loan size—specified internal committees or by officers of Wachovia, which may approve a mortgage loan as recommended, request additional due diligence, modify the loan terms or decline a loan transaction.
Determination of Revenue and Expense at a Mortgaged Property. The repayment of a Mortgage Loan is typically dependent upon the successful operation of the related Mortgaged Property and the ability of that Mortgaged Property to generate income sufficient to make payments on the loan. Accordingly, Wachovia will analyze whether cash flow expected to be derived from the Mortgaged Property will be sufficient to make the required payments under that Mortgage Loan over its expected term, taking into account, among other things, revenues and expenses for, and other debt currently secured by, or that in the future may be secured by, the Mortgaged Property as well as debt secured by pledges of the ownership interests in the related borrower, any related debt service reserves and other sources of income or payment or factors expected to affect such matters.
Wachovia uses both objective and subjective measures to determine the revenue generated and the expenses incurred at each Mortgaged Property. In determining the ‘‘revenue’’ component of Net Cash Flow for each Mortgaged Property securing a Wachovia Mortgage Loan, Wachovia generally relied on a rent roll and/or other known, signed tenant leases, executed extension options, or other indications of anticipated income (generally supported by market considerations, cash reserves or letters of credit) supplied and, where the actual vacancy shown thereon and the market vacancy was less than 5.0%, assumed a 5.0% vacancy in determining revenue from rents, except that in the case of certain non-multifamily properties, space occupied by such anchor or single tenants or other large creditworthy tenants may have been disregarded (or a rate of less than 5.0% has been assumed) in performing the vacancy adjustment due to the length of the related leases or creditworthiness of such tenants. Where the actual or market vacancy was greater than 5.0%, Wachovia determined revenue from rents by generally
S-132
relying on a rent roll and/or other known, signed leases, executed lease extension options, or other indications of anticipated income (generally supported by market considerations, cash reserves or letters of credit) supplied and the greater of (a) actual historical vacancy at the related Mortgaged Property, (b) historical vacancy at comparable properties in the same market as the related Mortgaged Property, and (c) 5.0%. In determining revenue for multifamily and self storage properties, the Mortgage Loan Sellers generally either reviewed rental revenue shown on the rolling 3-month operating statements for multifamily properties or annualized the rental revenue and reimbursement of expenses shown on rent rolls or operating statements with respect to the prior one-to-twelve month periods. In the case of hospitality properties, gross receipts were generally determined based upon the average occupancy not to exceed 85.0% and daily rates achieved during the prior one-to-three year annual reporting period. In the case of residential health care facilities, receipts were based on historical occupancy levels, historical operating revenues and then current occupancy rates. Occupancy rates for the private health care facilities were generally within then current market ranges, and vacancy levels were generally a minimum of 5.0%. The borrowers’ financial information used to determine revenue was in most cases borrower certified, but unaudited, and neither the Mortgage Loan Sellers nor the Depositor verified their accuracy. In general, any non-recurring items and non-property related revenue were eliminated from the calculation except in the case of residential health care facilities.
In determining the ‘‘expense’’ component of Net Cash Flow for each Mortgaged Property securing a Wachovia Mortgage Loan, Wachovia generally relied on rolling 12-month operating statements and/or full-year or year-to-date financial statements supplied by the related borrower, except that (a) if tax or insurance expense information more current than that reflected in the financial statements was available, the newer information was used, (b) property management fees were generally assumed to be 1.0% to 7.0% of effective gross revenue, (c) assumptions were made with respect to reserves for leasing commissions, tenant improvement expenses and capital expenditures and (d) expenses were assumed to include annual replacement reserves. In addition, in some instances, Wachovia recharacterized as capital expenditures those items reported by borrowers as operating expenses (thus increasing ‘‘net cash flow’’) where Wachovia determined appropriate.
The amounts described as revenue and expense in the two preceding paragraphs are often highly subjective values. For example, when calculating revenue or expense for a Mortgaged Property securing a Wachovia Mortgage Loan, Wachovia may make assumptions regarding projected rental income, expenses and/or occupancy, including, without limitation, one or more of the following:
• | the assumption that a particular tenant at a Mortgaged Property has executed a lease, but has not yet taken occupancy and/or has not yet commenced paying rent, will take occupancy and commence paying rent on a future date; |
• | the assumption that an unexecuted lease that is currently being negotiated with respect to a particular tenant at a Mortgaged Property or is out for signature will be executed and in place on a future date; |
• | the assumption that a portion of currently vacant and unleased space at a Mortgaged Property will be leased at current market rates and consistent with occupancy rates of comparable properties in the subject market; |
• | the assumption that certain rental income that is to be payable commencing on a future date under a signed lease, but where the subject tenant is in an initial rent abatement or free rent period or has not yet taken occupancy, will be paid commencing on such future date; |
• | assumptions regarding the probability of renewal or extension of particular leases and/or the re-leasing of certain space at a Mortgaged Property and the anticipated effect on capital and re-leasing expenditures; |
• | assumptions regarding the costs and expenses, including leasing commissions and tenant improvements, associated with leasing vacant space or releasing occupied space at a future date; |
• | assumptions regarding future increase or decreases in expenses, or whether certain expenses are capital expenses or should be treated as expenses which are not recurring; and |
S-133
• | various additional lease-up assumptions and other assumptions regarding the payment of rent not currently being paid. |
There is no assurance that the foregoing assumptions made with respect to any prospective multifamily or commercial mortgage loan will, in fact, be consistent with actual property performance. Accordingly, based on such subjective assumptions and analysis, there can be no assurance that the underwriting analysis of any particular Wachovia Mortgage Loan will conform to the foregoing descriptions in every respect or to any similar analysis which may be performed by other persons or entities.
DSC Ratios and LTV Ratios. Generally, the DSC Ratios for Wachovia Mortgage Loans will be equal to or greater than 1.20x; provided, however, exceptions may be made when consideration is given to circumstances particular to the Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgaged Property, LTV Ratio, reserves or other factors. For example, Wachovia may originate a Mortgage Loan with a DSC Ratio below 1.20x based on, among other things, the amortization features of the Mortgage Loan (for example, if the Mortgage Loan provides for relatively rapid amortization) the type of tenants and leases at the Mortgaged Property, the taking of additional collateral such as reserves, letters of credit and/or guarantees, Wachovia’s judgment of improved property and/or market performance in the future and/or other relevant factors.
Generally, the LTV Ratio for Wachovia Mortgage Loans will be equal to or less than 80%; provided, however, exceptions may be made when consideration is given to circumstances particular to the Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgaged Property, debt service coverage, reserves or other factors. For example, Wachovia may originate a Mortgage Loan with a LTV Ratio above 80% based on, among other things, the amortization features of the mortgage loan (for example, if the mortgage loan provides for relatively rapid amortization), the type of tenants and leases at the related Mortgaged Property, the taking of additional collateral such as reserves, letters of credit and/or guarantees, Wachovia’s judgment of improved property and/or performance in the future and/or other relevant factors.
While the foregoing discussion generally reflects how calculations of DSC Ratios and LTV Ratios are made, it does not necessarily reflect the specific calculations made to determine the DSC Ratio and the LTV Ratio disclosed in this prospectus supplement. For specific details on the calculations of the DSC Ratio and the LTV Ratio in this prospectus supplement, see ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE MORTGAGE POOL—Additional Mortgage Loan Information.’’
Additional Debt. When underwriting a multifamily or commercial mortgage loan, Wachovia will take into account whether the mortgaged property and/or direct or indirect interest in a related borrower are encumbered by additional debt and will analyze the likely effect of that additional debt on repayment of the subject mortgage loan. It is possible that Wachovia or an affiliate will be the lender on that additional debt, and may either sell such debt to an unaffiliated third party or hold it in inventory.
The DSC Ratios and LTV Ratios described above under ‘‘—DSC Ratios and LTV Ratios’’ may be significantly below 1.20x and significantly above 80%, respectively, when calculated taking into account the existence of additional debt secured by the related real property collateral or directly or indirectly by equity interests in the related borrower.
Assessments of Property Condition. As part of the underwriting process, Wachovia will analyze the condition of the real property collateral for a prospective multifamily or commercial mortgage loan. To aid in that analysis, Wachovia may, subject to certain exceptions, inspect or retain a third party to inspect the property and will in most cases obtain the property assessments and reports described below.
Appraisals. Wachovia will, in most cases, require that the real property collateral for a prospective multifamily or commercial mortgage loan be appraised by a state certified appraiser, an appraiser belonging to the Appraisal Institute, a membership association of professional real estate appraisers, or an otherwise qualified appraiser. In addition, Wachovia will generally require that those appraisals be conducted in accordance with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practices developed by The Appraisal Foundation, a not-for-profit organization established by the appraisal profession. Furthermore, the appraisal report will usually include or be accompanied by a separate letter that includes a statement by the appraiser that the guidelines in Title XI of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery
S-134
and Enforcement Act of 1989 were followed in preparing the appraisal. In some cases, however, Wachovia may establish the value of the subject real property collateral based on a cash flow analysis, a recent sales price or another method or benchmark of valuation.
Environmental Assessment. Wachovia may require a Phase I environmental assessment with respect to the real property collateral for a prospective multifamily or commercial mortgage loan. However, when circumstances warrant, Wachovia may utilize an update of a prior environmental assessment, a transaction screen or a desktop review. Alternatively, Wachovia might forego an environmental assessment in limited circumstances, such as when it has obtained the benefits of an environmental insurance policy or an environmental guarantee. Furthermore, an environmental assessment conducted at any particular real property collateral will not necessarily cover all potential environmental issues. For example, an analysis for radon, lead-based paint and lead in drinking water will usually be conducted only at multifamily rental properties and only when Wachovia or the environmental consultant believes that special circumstances warrant such an analysis.
Depending on the findings of the initial environmental assessment, Wachovia may require additional record searches or environmental testing, such as a Phase II environmental assessment with respect to the real property collateral.
Engineering Assessment. In connection with the origination process, Wachovia may require that an engineering firm inspect the real property collateral for any prospective multifamily or commercial mortgage loan to assess the structure, exterior walls, roofing, interior structure and/or mechanical and electrical systems. Based on the resulting report, Wachovia will determine the appropriate response, if any, to any recommended repairs, corrections or replacements and any identified deferred maintenance.
Seismic Report. If the subject real property collateral consists of improvements located in California or in seismic zones 3 or 4, Wachovia may require a report to establish the probable maximum or bounded loss for the improvements at the property as a result of an earthquake. If that loss is in excess of 20% of the estimated replacement cost for the improvements at the property, Wachovia may require retrofitting of the improvements or that the borrower obtain earthquake insurance if available at a commercially reasonable price. It should be noted, however, that because the seismic assessments may not necessarily have used the same assumptions in assessing probable maximum loss, it is possible that some of the real properties that were considered unlikely to experience a probable maximum loss in excess of 20% of estimated replacement cost might have been the subject of a higher estimate had different assumptions been used.
Zoning and Building Code Compliance. In connection with the origination of a multifamily or commercial mortgage loan, Wachovia will generally consider whether the use and occupancy of the related real property collateral is in material compliance with zoning, land-use, building rules, regulations and orders then applicable to that property. Evidence of this compliance may be in the form of one or more of the following: legal opinions; surveys; recorded documents; temporary or permanent certificates of occupancy; letters from government officials or agencies; title insurance endorsements; engineering or consulting reports; and/or representations by the related borrower.
Where a property as currently operated is a permitted nonconforming use and/or structure and the improvements may not be rebuilt to the same dimensions or used in the same manner in the event of a major casualty, Wachovia will consider whether—
• | any major casualty that would prevent rebuilding has a sufficiently remote likelihood of occurring; |
• | casualty insurance proceeds together with the value of any additional collateral would be available in an amount estimated by Wachovia to be sufficient to pay off the related mortgage loan in full; |
• | the real property collateral, if permitted to be repaired or restored in conformity with current law, would in Wachovia’s judgment constitute adequate security for the related mortgage loan; |
• | a variance or other similar change in applicable zoning restrictions is potentially available, or whether the applicable governing entity is likely to enforce the related limitations; and/or |
S-135
• | to require the related borrower to obtain law and ordinance insurance. |
Escrow Requirements. Generally, Wachovia requires most borrowers to fund various escrows for taxes and insurance, capital expenses and replacement reserves. Generally, the required escrows for mortgage loans originated by Wachovia are as follows:
• | Taxes—Typically an initial deposit and monthly escrow deposits equal to 1/12th of the annual property taxes (based on the most recent property assessment and the current millage rate) are required to provide the Wachovia with sufficient funds to satisfy all taxes and assessments. Wachovia may waive this escrow requirement under certain circumstances. |
• | Insurance—If the property is insured under an individual policy (i.e., the property is not covered by a blanket policy), typically an initial deposit and monthly escrow deposits equal to 1/12th of the annual property insurance premium are required to provide Wachovia with sufficient funds to pay all insurance premiums. Wachovia may waive this escrow requirement under certain circumstances. |
• | Replacement Reserves—Replacement reserves are generally calculated in accordance with the expected useful life of the components of the property during the term of the mortgage loan. Wachovia may waive this escrow requirement under certain circumstances. |
• | Completion Repair/Environmental Remediation—Typically, a completion repair or remediation reserve is required where an environmental or engineering report suggests that such reserve is necessary. Upon funding of the applicable Mortgage Loan, Wachovia generally requires that at least 110% of the estimated costs of repairs or replacements be reserved and generally requires that repairs or replacements be completed within a year after the funding of the applicable Mortgage Loan. Wachovia may waive this escrow requirement under certain circumstances. |
• | Tenant Improvement/Lease Commissions—In most cases, various tenants have lease expirations within the Wachovia Mortgage Loan term. To mitigate this risk, special reserves may be required to be funded either at closing of the Wachovia Mortgage Loan and/or during the related Mortgage Loan term to cover certain anticipated leasing commissions or tenant improvement costs which might be associated with re-leasing the space occupied by such tenants. |
Furthermore, Wachovia may accept an alternative to a cash escrow or reserve from a borrower, such as a letter of credit or a guarantee from the borrower or an affiliate of the borrower or periodic evidence that the items for which the escrow or reserve would have been established are being paid or addressed. In some cases, Wachovia may determine that establishing an escrow or reserve is not warranted given the amounts that would be involved and Wachovia’s evaluation of the ability of the Mortgaged Property, the borrower or a holder of direct or indirect ownership interests in the borrower to bear the subject expense or cost absent creation of an escrow or reserve.
Artesia Mortgage Capital Corporation
General Character of Artesia Mortgage Capital Corporation’s Business. Artesia Mortgage Capital Corporation (‘‘Artesia’’) is a Delaware Corporation, with its principal offices in Issaquah, Washington. Artesia is a Sponsor of this securitization and originated and underwrote 29 Mortgage Loans included in the Trust Fund. Artesia is a wholly owned non-bank U.S. subsidiary of Dexia Bank. Dexia Bank, which is rated ‘‘AA+’’ by Fitch, ‘‘AA’’ by S&P and ‘‘Aa2’’ by Moody’s, is part of Dexia Group, a diversified financial services firm located in Brussels, Belgium with a balance sheet of 506 billion Euros ($603 billion) and a stock market capitalization of approximately 22 billion Euros ($26 billion) as of December 2005.
Artesia originates commercial and multifamily mortgage loans for the purpose of securitizing them in CMBS transactions.
Artesia also engages in the origination, and/or buying and selling, of mortgages and other interests in mortgage loans for investment purposes.
Artesia’s Securitization Program. Artesia, directly or through correspondents, originates multifamily and commercial mortgage loans throughout the United States. Artesia has been engaged in the
S-136
origination of multifamily and commercial mortgage loans for securitization since 1996. The multifamily and commercial mortgage loans originated and securitized by Artesia include both fixed-rate loans and floating-rate loans and both conduit balance loans—which are average-sized loans by industry standards —and large balance loans. Most of the multifamily and commercial mortgage loans included in commercial mortgage securitizations by Artesia have been originated, directly or through correspondents, by Artesia. During the fiscal years 2001 through 2005, the aggregate annual principal balance of commercial mortgage loans securitized by Artesia ranged from approximately $412.6 million in 2001, to approximately $610.1 million in 2003, and to approximately $1.5 billion in 2005.
When originating mortgage loans in conjunction with third-party correspondents, Artesia performs the underwriting based on its underwriting criteria (see ‘‘—Artesia’s Underwriting Standards’’ below) and originates the subject mortgage loan on a specified closing date prior to inclusion in the subject securitization.
In addition, in the normal course of its securitization program, Artesia, may also acquire multifamily and commercial mortgage loans from various third party originators. These mortgage loans may have been originated using underwriting guidelines not established by Artesia.
In connection with the commercial mortgage securitization transactions it is involved in, Artesia generally transfers the subject mortgage assets to a depositor, who then transfers those mortgage assets to the issuing entity for the related securitization. In return for the transfer of the subject mortgage assets by the depositor to the issuing entity, the issuing entity issues commercial mortgage pass-through certificates backed by, and supported by the cash flows generated by, those mortgage assets.
Artesia also works, with respect to the mortgage loans it has originated, with rating agencies, unaffiliated sponsors, originators and servicers in putting together the securitization transaction. Artesia will generally act as a sponsor or originator in the commercial mortgage securitization transactions to which it contributes mortgage loans. Artesia does not act as servicer of the multifamily and commercial mortgage loans in the commercial mortgage securitizations it is involved in. Instead, Artesia and/or the related depositor contract with other entities to service the multifamily and commercial mortgage loans following their transfer into a trust fund for a series of securities.
Artesia may be obligated, specifically with respect to the mortgage loans that it is contributing, generally pursuant to a mortgage loan purchase agreement or other comparable agreement, to:
• | deliver various specified loan documents; |
• | file and/or record various specified loan documents and assignments of those documents; and |
• | make various loan-specific representations and warranties. |
If it is later determined that any mortgage asset contributed by Artesia fails to conform to the specified representations and warranties or there is a defect in or an omission with respect to certain specified mortgage loan documents related to that mortgage asset, which breach, defect or omission, as the case may be, is determined to have a material adverse effect on the value of the subject mortgage asset and/or the interests of holders of securities issued in connection with the subject commercial mortgage securitization transaction, then Artesia will generally have an obligation to cure the subject defect, omission or breach or to repurchase or replace the subject mortgage asset.
Artesia’s Underwriting Standards
General. Set forth below is a discussion of certain general underwriting guidelines of Artesia with respect to multifamily and commercial mortgage loans originated by Artesia. The underwriting guidelines described below may not—and generally will not—apply to multifamily and commercial mortgage loans acquired by Artesia from third-party originators.
Notwithstanding the discussion below, given the unique nature of income-producing real properties, the underwriting and origination procedures and the credit analysis with respect to any particular multifamily or commercial mortgage loan may differ significantly from one asset to another, and will be driven by circumstances particular to that property, including, among others, its type, current use, physical

quality, size, environmental condition, location, market conditions, capital reserve requirements and additional collateral, tenants and leases, borrower identity, borrower sponsorship and/or performance history. Consequently, there can be no assurance that the underwriting of any particular multifamily or commercial mortgage loan will conform to the general guidelines described in this ‘‘—Artesia’s Underwriting Standards’’ section.
Loan Analysis. Artesia performs both a credit analysis and a collateral analysis with respect to each multifamily and commercial mortgage loan it originates. The credit analysis of the borrower may include a review of third-party credit reports, reports resulting from judgment, lien, bankruptcy and pending litigation searches and, if applicable, the loan payment history of the borrower and its principals. Generally, borrowers are required to be single-purpose entities, although exceptions may be made from time to time on a case-by-case basis. The collateral analysis includes an analysis, in each case to the extent available, of historical property operating statements, rent rolls and a projection of future performance and a review of tenant leases. Depending on the type of real property involved and other relevant circumstances, Artesia’s underwriting staff, third party reviewers, and/or legal counsel will review leases of significant tenants. Artesia may also perform a limited qualitative review with respect to certain tenants located at the subject property, particularly significant tenants, credit tenants and sole tenants. Artesia generally requires third-party appraisals, as well as environmental reports, building condition reports and, if applicable, seismic reports. Each report is reviewed for acceptability by an Artesia staff member or a third-party reviewer. The results of these reviews are incorporated into the underwriting report.
Loan Approval. Prior to commitment, all multifamily and commercial mortgage loans to be originated by Artesia must be approved by one or more—depending on loan size—specified credit committees of Artesia or Dexia Bank. The credit committee(s) responsible for loan approval may approve a mortgage loan as recommended, request additional due diligence, modify the loan terms or decline a loan transaction.
Debt Service Coverage Ratio. The repayment of a multifamily or commercial mortgage loan is typically dependent upon the successful operation of the related mortgaged property and the ability of that property to generate income sufficient to make payments on the loan. Accordingly, in connection with the origination of any multifamily or commercial mortgage loan, Artesia will analyze whether cash flow expected to be derived from the subject mortgaged property will be sufficient to make the required payments under that mortgage loan, taking into account, among other things, revenues and expenses for, and other debt currently secured by, or that in the future may be secured by, the subject mortgaged property as well as debt secured by pledges of the ownership interests in the related borrower.
The debt service coverage ratio of a multifamily or commercial mortgage loan is an important measure of the likelihood of default on the loan. In general, the debt service coverage ratio of a multifamily or commercial mortgage loan at any given time is the ratio of—
• | the amount of income, net of operating expenses, capital expenditures and other amounts required to be reserved for various purposes, derived or expected to be derived from the related mortgaged property for a given period that is available to pay debt service on the subject mortgage loan, to |
• | the scheduled payments of principal and/or interest during that given period on the subject mortgage loan and any other loans that are secured by liens of senior or equal priority on the related mortgaged property. |
However, the amount described in the first bullet of the preceding sentence is often a highly subjective number based on variety of assumptions regarding, and adjustments to, revenues and expenses with respect to the related mortgaged property.
For example, when calculating the debt service coverage ratio for a multifamily or commercial mortgage loan, Artesia may utilize annual net cash flow that was calculated based on assumptions regarding projected rental income, expenses and/or occupancy, including, without limitation, one or more of the following:
• | the assumption that a particular tenant at the subject mortgaged property that has executed a lease, but has not yet taken occupancy and/or has not yet commenced paying rent, will take occupancy and commence paying rent on a future date; |
S-138
• | the assumption that an unexecuted lease that is currently being negotiated with respect to a particular tenant at the subject mortgaged property or is out for signature will be executed and in place on a future date; |
• | the assumption that a portion of currently vacant and unleased space at the subject mortgaged property will be leased at current market rates and consistent with occupancy rates of comparable properties in the subject market; |
• | the assumption that certain rental income that is to be payable commencing on a future date under a signed lease, but where the subject tenant is in an initial rent abatement or free rent period or has not yet taken occupancy, will be paid commencing on such future date; |
• | assumptions regarding the probability of renewal of particular leases and/or the re-leasing of certain space at the subject mortgaged property and the anticipated effect on capital and re-leasing expenditures; and |
• | various additional lease-up assumptions and other assumptions regarding the payment of rent not currently being paid. |
There is no assurance that the foregoing assumptions made with respect to any prospective multifamily or commercial mortgage loan will, in fact, be consistent with actual property performance.
Generally, the debt service coverage ratio for multifamily and commercial mortgage loans originated by Artesia, calculated as described above, will be equal to or greater than 1.20x (subject to the discussion under ‘‘—Additional Debt’’ below); however, exceptions may be made when consideration is given to circumstances particular to the mortgage loan or the related mortgaged property. For example, Artesia may originate a multifamily or commercial mortgage loan with a debt service coverage ratio below 1.20x based on, among other things, the amortization features of the mortgage loan (for example, if the mortgage loan provides for relatively rapid amortization), the type of tenants and leases at the subject mortgaged property, the taking of additional collateral such as reserves, letters of credit and/or guarantees, Artesia’s judgment of improved property performance in the future and/or other relevant factors.
While the foregoing discussion generally reflects how calculations of debt service ratios are made, it does not necessarily reflect the specific calculations made to determine the DSC Ratios disclosed in this prospectus supplement. For specific information regarding the details on the calculations of DSC Ratios in this prospectus supplement, see ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE MORTGAGE POOL—Additional Mortgage Loan Information’’.
Loan-to-Value Ratio. Artesia also looks at the loan-to-value ratio of a prospective multifamily or commercial mortgage loan as one of the factors it takes into consideration in evaluating the likelihood of recovery if a property is liquidated following a default. In general, the loan-to-value ratio of a multifamily or commercial mortgage loan at any given time is the ratio, expressed as a percentage, of—
• | the then outstanding principal balance of the subject mortgage loan and any other loans that are secured by liens of senior or equal priority on the related mortgaged property, to |
• | the estimated value of the related mortgaged property based on an appraisal, a cash flow analysis, a recent sales price or another method or benchmark of valuation. |
Generally, the loan-to-value ratio for multifamily and commercial mortgage loans originated by Artesia, calculated as described above, will be equal to or less than 80% (subject to the discussion under ‘‘—Additional Debt’’ below); however, exceptions may be made when consideration is given to circumstances particular to the mortgage loan or the related mortgaged property. For example, Artesia may originate a multifamily or commercial mortgage loan with a loan-to-value ratio above 80% based on, among other things, the amortization features of the mortgage loan (for example, if the mortgage loan provides for relatively rapid amortization), the type of tenants and leases at the subject mortgaged property, the taking of additional collateral such as reserves, letters of credit and/or guarantees, Artesia’s judgment of improved property performance in the future and/or other relevant factors.
Additional Debt. When underwriting a multifamily or commercial mortgage loan, Artesia will take into account whether the subject real property and/or direct or indirect interest in a related borrower are
S-139
encumbered by additional debt and will analyze the likely effect of that additional debt on repayment of the subject mortgage loan. It is possible that Artesia will be the lender on that additional debt.
The debt service coverage ratios described above under ‘‘—Debt Service Coverage Ratio’’ and the loan-to-value ratios described above under ‘‘—Loan-to-Value Ratio’’ may be below 1.20x and above 80%, respectively, based on the existence of additional debt secured by the related mortgaged property or directly or indirectly by equity interests in the related borrower.
Assessments of Property Condition. As part of the underwriting process, Artesia will analyze the condition of the real property for a prospective multifamily or commercial mortgage loan. To aid in that analysis, Artesia may, subject to certain exceptions, inspect or retain a third party to inspect the property and will obtain the property assessments and reports described below.
Appraisals. Artesia will, in most cases, require that the real property for a prospective multifamily or commercial mortgage loan be appraised by a state certified appraiser or an appraiser belonging to the Appraisal Institute, a membership association of professional real estate appraisers. In addition, Artesia will generally require that those appraisals be conducted in accordance with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practices developed by The Appraisal Foundation, a not-for-profit organization established by the appraisal profession. Furthermore, the appraisal report will usually include or be accompanied by a separate letter that includes a statement by the appraiser that the guidelines in Title XI of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 were followed in preparing the appraisal. In some cases, however, Artesia may establish the value of the subject real property based on a cash flow analysis, a recent sales price or another method or benchmark of valuation.
Environmental Assessment. Artesia may require a Phase I environmental assessment with respect to the real property for a prospective multifamily or commercial mortgage loan. However, when circumstances warrant, Artesia may utilize an update of a prior environmental assessment, a transaction screen or a desktop review. Alternatively, Artesia might forego an environmental assessment in limited circumstances, such as when it has obtained the benefits of an environmental insurance policy or an environmental guarantee. Furthermore, an environmental assessment conducted at any particular real property will not necessarily cover all potential environmental issues. For example, an analysis for radon, lead-based paint and lead in drinking water will usually be conducted only at multifamily rental properties and only when Artesia or the environmental consultant believes that such an analysis is warranted under the circumstances.
Depending on the findings of the initial environmental assessment, Artesia may require additional record searches or environmental testing, such as a Phase II environmental assessment with respect to the subject real property.
Engineering Assessment. In connection with the origination process, Artesia may require that an engineering firm inspect the real property for any prospective multifamily or commercial mortgage loan to assess the structure, exterior walls, roofing, interior structure and/or mechanical and electrical systems. Based on the resulting report, Artesia will determine the appropriate response to any recommended repairs, corrections or replacements and any identified deferred maintenance.
Seismic Report. If the subject real property includes any material improvements and is located in California or in seismic zones 3 or 4, Artesia may require a report to establish the probable maximum or bounded loss for the improvements at the property as a result of an earthquake. If that loss is in excess of 20% of the estimated replacement cost for the improvements at the property, Artesia may require retrofitting of the improvements or that the borrower obtain earthquake insurance if available at a commercially reasonable price. It should be noted, however, that because the seismic assessments may not necessarily have used the same assumptions in assessing probable maximum loss, it is possible that some of the real properties that were considered unlikely to experience a probable maximum loss in excess of 20% of estimated replacement cost might have been the subject of a higher estimate had different assumptions been used.
Zoning and Building Code Compliance. In connection with the origination of a multifamily or commercial mortgage loan, Artesia will generally examine whether the use and occupancy of the related real property is in material compliance with zoning, land-use, building rules, regulations and orders then
S-140
applicable to that property. Evidence of this compliance may be in the form of one or more of the following: legal opinions; surveys; recorded documents; temporary or permanent certificates of occupancy; letters from government officials or agencies; title insurance endorsements; engineering or consulting reports; and/or representations by the related borrower.
Where a property as currently operated is a permitted nonconforming use and/or structure and the improvements may not be rebuilt to the same dimensions or used in the same manner in the event of a major casualty, Artesia will analyze whether—
• | any major casualty that would prevent rebuilding has a sufficiently remote likelihood of occurring; |
• | casualty insurance proceeds together with the value of any additional collateral would be available in an amount estimated by Artesia to be sufficient to pay off the related mortgage loan in full; |
• | the real property, if permitted to be repaired or restored in conformity with current law, would in Artesia’s judgment constitute adequate security for the related mortgage loan; and/or |
• | to require the related borrower to obtain law and ordinance insurance. |
Escrow Requirements. Based on its analysis of the subject real property, the borrower and the principals of the borrower, Artesia may require a borrower under a multifamily or commercial mortgage loan to fund various escrows for taxes and/or insurance, capital expenses, replacement reserves, tenant improvements, leasing commissions, debt service and/or environmental remediation. Artesia conducts a case-by-case analysis to determine the need for a particular escrow or reserve. Consequently, the aforementioned escrows and reserves are not established for every multifamily and commercial mortgage loan originated by Artesia. Furthermore, Artesia may accept an alternative to a cash escrow or reserve from a borrower, such as a letter of credit or a guarantee from the borrower or an affiliate of the borrower or periodic evidence that the items for which the escrow or reserve would have been established are being paid or addressed.
Notwithstanding the foregoing discussion under this ‘‘—Artesia’s Underwriting Standards’’ section, Artesia may include mortgage loans in a trust fund which vary from, or do not comply with, Artesia’s underwriting guidelines. In addition, in some cases, Artesia may not have strictly applied these underwriting guidelines as the result of a case-by-case permitted exception based upon other compensating factors.

Assignment of the Mortgage Loans; Repurchases and Substitutions
On the Closing Date, the Depositor will acquire the Mortgage Loans from each Mortgage Loan Seller and will simultaneously transfer the Mortgage Loans, without recourse, to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders.
In connection with the above-described transfers, the Depositor will require each Mortgage Loan Seller to deliver to the Trustee or to a document custodian appointed by the Trustee (a ‘‘Custodian’’), among other things, the following documents with respect to each Mortgage Loan originated by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (the ‘‘Mortgage File’’): (i) the original Mortgage Note, endorsed on its face or by allonge attached thereto, without recourse, to the order of the Trustee or in blank (or, if the original Mortgage Note has been lost, an affidavit to such effect from the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller
S-142
or another prior holder, together with a copy of the Mortgage Note); (ii) the original or a copy of the Mortgage, together with an original or copy of any intervening assignments of the Mortgage, in each case (unless not yet returned by the applicable recording office) with evidence of recording indicated thereon or certified by the applicable recorder’s office; (iii) the original or a copy of any related assignment of leases and of any intervening assignments thereof (if such item is a document separate from the Mortgage), in each case (unless not yet returned by the applicable recording office) with evidence of recording indicated thereon or certified by the applicable recorder’s office; (iv) an original assignment of the Mortgage in favor of the Trustee or in blank and (subject to the completion of certain missing recording information) in recordable form; (v) an original assignment of any related assignment of leases (if such item is a document separate from the Mortgage) in favor of the Trustee or in blank and (subject to the completion of certain missing recording information) in recordable form; (vi) the original assignment of all unrecorded documents relating to the Mortgage Loan, if not already assigned pursuant to items (iv) or (v) above; (vii) originals or copies of all modification, consolidation, assumption and substitution agreements in those instances in which the terms or provisions of the Mortgage or Mortgage Note have been modified or the Mortgage Loan has been assumed or consolidated; (viii) the original or a copy of the policy or certificate of lender’s title insurance issued on the date of the origination of such Mortgage Loan, or, if such policy has not been issued or located, an irrevocable, binding commitment (which may be a marked version of the policy that has been executed by an authorized representative of the title company or an agreement to provide the same pursuant to binding escrow instructions executed by an authorized representative of the title company or a ‘‘pro forma’’ title policy) to issue such title insurance policy; (ix) any filed copies (bearing evidence of filing) or other evidence of filing satisfactory to the Trustee of any UCC financing statements, related amendments and continuation statements in the possession of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller; (x) an original assignment in favor of the Trustee of any financing statement executed and filed in favor of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller in the relevant jurisdiction; (xi) the original or copy of any ground lease, memorandum of ground lease, ground lessor estoppel, environmental insurance policy, indemnity or guaranty relating to such Mortgage Loan; (xii) any intercreditor agreement relating to permitted debt (including mezzanine debt) of the mortgagor; (xiii) copies of any loan agreement, escrow agreement, or security agreement relating to such Mortgage Loan; (xiv) copies of franchise agreements and franchisor comfort letters, if any, for hospitality properties and any applicable transfer or assignment documents; and (xv) a copy of any letter of credit and related transfer documents related to such Mortgage Loan.
As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trustee or a Custodian on its behalf is required to review each Mortgage File within a specified period following its receipt thereof. If any of the documents described in the preceding paragraph is found during the course of such review to be missing from any Mortgage File or defective, and in either case such omission or defect materially and adversely affects the value of the applicable Mortgage Loan, the interest of the Trust Fund or the interests of any Certificateholder, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, if it does not deliver the document or cure the defect (other than omissions solely due to a document not having been returned by the related recording office) within a period of 90 days following such Mortgage Loan Seller’s receipt of notice thereof, will be obligated pursuant to the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (the relevant rights under which will be assigned by the Depositor to the Trustee) to (1) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan within such 90-day period at a price (the ‘‘Purchase Price’’) generally equal to the sum of (i) the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan (including, with respect to The Woodlands Mall Loan, The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component), (ii) the unpaid accrued interest on such Mortgage Loan (calculated at the applicable Mortgage Rate) to but not including the Due Date in the Collection Period in which the purchase is to occur and (iii) certain Additional Trust Fund Expenses in respect of such Mortgage Loan, including but not limited to, servicing expenses that are reimbursable to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee plus any interest thereon and on any related P&I Advances or (2) other than with respect to The Woodlands Mall Loan, substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for such Mortgage Loan and pay the Master Servicer for deposit into the Certificate Account a shortfall amount equal to the difference between the Purchase Price of the deleted Mortgage Loan calculated as of the date of substitution and the Stated Principal Balance of such Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan as of the date of substitution (the ‘‘Substitution Shortfall Amount’’); provided that, unless the breach would cause the Mortgage Loan not to be a qualified mortgage within the meaning of Section
S-143
860G(a)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the ‘‘Code’’), the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller will generally have an additional 90-day period to deliver the document or cure the defect, as the case may be, if it is diligently proceeding to effect such delivery or cure and provided further, no such document omission or defect (other than with respect to the Mortgage Note, the Mortgage, the title insurance policy, the ground lease, any letter of credit, any franchise agreement, comfort letter and comfort letter transfer document (the ‘‘Core Material Documents’’)) will be considered to materially and adversely affect the interests of the Certificateholders in, or the value of, the affected Mortgage Loans unless the document with respect to which the document omission or defect exists is required in connection with an imminent enforcement of the mortgagee’s rights or remedies under the related Mortgage Loan, defending any claim asserted by any borrower or third-party with respect to the Mortgage Loan, establishing the validity or priority of any lien or any collateral securing the Mortgage Loan or for any immediate significant servicing obligation. With respect to material document defects other than those involving the Core Material Documents, any applicable cure period may be extended if the document involved is not needed imminently. Such extension will end upon 30 days notice of such need as reasonably determined by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer (with a possible 30 day extension if the Master Servicer or Special Servicer agrees that the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller is diligently pursuing a cure). All material document defects regardless of the document involved will be cured no later than 2 years after the Closing Date; provided, however, that the initial 90-day cure period described herein will not be reduced.
The foregoing repurchase or substitution obligation constitutes the sole remedy available to the Certificateholders and the Trustee for any uncured failure to deliver, or any uncured defect in, a constituent Mortgage Loan document. Each Mortgage Loan Seller is solely responsible for its repurchase or substitution obligation, and such obligations will not be the responsibility of the Depositor.
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement requires the Trustee promptly to cause each of the assignments described in clauses (iv), (v) and (x) of the third preceding paragraph to be submitted for recording or filing, as applicable, in the appropriate public records. See ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENTS—Assignment of Mortgage Assets; Repurchases’’ in the accompanying prospectus. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement requires that the Trustee take the actions necessary to maintain the security interest of the Trust Fund in the Mortgage Loans.
The Trustee is required to maintain custody of the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan in the State of Minnesota. The Trustee will not move any Mortgage File outside the State of Minnesota, other than as specifically provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, unless the Trustee first obtains and provides, at the expense of the Trustee, an opinion of counsel to the Depositor and the Rating Agencies to the effect that the Trustee’s first priority interest in the Mortgage Notes has been duly and fully perfected under the applicable laws and regulations of such other jurisdiction. The Trustee is acting as custodian of the Mortgage Files pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In that capacity, the Trustee is responsible to hold and safeguard the Mortgage Notes and other contents of the Mortgage Files on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders. The Trustee has been engaged in the mortgage document custody business for more than 25 years. The Trustee maintains document custody facilities in its Minneapolis, Minnesota headquarters. The Trustee maintains mortgage custody vaults in each of those locations with an aggregate capacity of over eleven million files. The Trustee maintains each Mortgage File as a separate file folder marked with a unique bar code to assure loan-level file integrity and to assist in inventory management. Mortgage Files are segregated by transaction or investor. As of March 31, 2006, Wells Fargo Bank was acting as custodian of more than 25,000 commercial loan files.
A ‘‘Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan’’ is a mortgage loan which must, on the date of substitution: (i) have an outstanding Stated Principal Balance, after application of all scheduled payments of principal and interest due during or prior to the month of substitution, not in excess of the Stated Principal Balance of the deleted Mortgage Loan as of the Due Date in the calendar month during which the substitution occurs; (ii) have a Mortgage Rate not less than the Mortgage Rate of the deleted Mortgage Loan; (iii) have the same Due Date as the deleted Mortgage Loan; (iv) accrue interest on the same basis as the deleted Mortgage Loan (for example, on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months); (v) have a remaining term to stated maturity not greater than, and not more than two years less than, the remaining term to stated maturity of the deleted Mortgage Loan; (vi) have an original loan-to-value ratio
S-144
not higher than that of the deleted Mortgage Loan and a current loan-to-value ratio not higher than the then current loan-to-value ratio of the deleted Mortgage Loan; (vii) comply as of the date of substitution with all of the representations and warranties set forth in the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement; (viii) have an environmental report with respect to the related Mortgaged Property which will be delivered as a part of the related servicing file; (ix) have an original debt service coverage ratio not less than the original debt service coverage ratio of the deleted Mortgage Loan; (x) be determined by an opinion of counsel to be a ‘‘qualified replacement mortgage’’ within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(4) of the Code; (xi) not have a maturity date after the date two years prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date; (xii) not be substituted for a deleted Mortgage Loan unless the Trustee has received prior confirmation in writing by each Rating Agency that such substitution will not result in the withdrawal, downgrade or qualification of the rating assigned by the Rating Agency to any Class of Certificates then rated by the Rating Agency (the cost, if any, of obtaining such confirmation to be paid by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller); (xiii) have a date of origination that is not more than 12 months prior to the date of substitution; (xiv) have been approved by the Controlling Class Representative (or, if there is no Controlling Class Representative then serving, by the holders of Certificates representing a majority of the voting rights allocated to the Controlling Class); (xv) not be substituted for a deleted Mortgage Loan if it would result in the termination of the REMIC status of either of the REMICs or the imposition of tax on either of the REMICs other than a tax on income expressly permitted or contemplated to be received by the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; and (xvi) become a part of the same Loan Group as the deleted Mortgage Loan. In the event that one or more mortgage loans are substituted for one or more deleted Mortgage Loans, then the amounts described in clause (i) shall be determined on the basis of aggregate principal balances and the rates described in clause (ii) above and the remaining term to stated maturity referred to in clause (v) above shall be determined on a weighted average basis; provided that no individual Mortgage Loan shall have a Mortgage Rate, net of the related Administrative Cost Rate, that is less than the highest Pass-Through Rate of any Class of Sequential Pay Certificates then outstanding bearing a fixed rate. When a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan is substituted for a deleted Mortgage Loan, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller will be required to certify that such Mortgage Loan meets all of the requirements of the above definition and shall send such certification to the Trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no substitutions will be permitted for The Woodlands Mall Loan.
Representations and Warranties; Repurchases and Substitutions
In each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller has represented and warranted with respect to each Mortgage Loan (subject to certain exceptions specified in each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement), as of the Closing Date, or as of such other date specifically provided in the representation and warranty, among other things, generally that:
(i) the information set forth in the schedule of Mortgage Loans attached to the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (which contains certain of the information set forth in Annex A-1 to this prospectus supplement) was true and correct in all material respects as of the Cut-Off Date;
(ii) as of the date of its origination, such Mortgage Loan complied in all material respects with, or was exempt from, all requirements of federal, state or local law relating to the origination of such Mortgage Loan;
(iii) immediately prior to the sale, transfer and assignment to the Depositor, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller had good and marketable title to, and was the sole owner of, each Mortgage Loan, and is transferring the Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all liens, pledges, charges, security interests or any other ownership interests of any nature encumbering such Mortgage Loan;
(iv) the proceeds of such Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder by the mortgagee;
(v) each related Mortgage Note, Mortgage, assignment of leases, if any, and other agreements executed in connection with such Mortgage Loan is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the related mortgagor (subject to any nonrecourse provisions therein and any state anti-deficiency or market value limit deficiency legislation), enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (a) that
S-145
certain provisions contained in such Mortgage Loan documents are or may be unenforceable in whole or in part under applicable state or federal laws, but neither the application of any such laws to any such provision nor the inclusion of any such provision renders any of the Mortgage Loan documents invalid as a whole and such Mortgage Loan documents taken as a whole are enforceable to the extent necessary and customary for the practical realization of the rights and benefits afforded thereby, and (b) as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, moratorium, redemption, liquidation or other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law);
(vi) as of the date of its origination, there was no valid offset, defense, counterclaim, abatement or right to rescission with respect to any of the related Mortgage Notes, Mortgage(s) or other agreements executed in connection therewith, and, as of the Cut-Off Date, there was no valid offset, defense, counterclaim or right to rescission with respect to such Mortgage Note, Mortgage(s) or other agreements, except in each case, with respect to the enforceability of any provisions requiring the payment of default interest, late fees, additional interest, prepayment premiums or yield maintenance charges and the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller has no knowledge of any such rights, defenses or counterclaims having been asserted;
(vii) each related assignment of Mortgage and assignment of assignment of leases from the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller to the Trustee constitutes the legal, valid and binding first priority assignment from such Mortgage Loan Seller (subject to the customary limitations set forth in (v) above);
(viii) the related Mortgage is a valid and enforceable first lien on the related Mortgaged Property except for the exceptions set forth in paragraph (v) above and (a) the lien of current real property taxes, ground rents, water charges, sewer rents and assessments not yet due and payable, (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public record, none of which, individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely interferes with the current use of the Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or with the mortgagor’s ability to pay its obligations under the Mortgage Loan when they become due or materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgaged Property, (c) the exceptions (general and specific) and exclusions set forth in the related title insurance policy or appearing of record, none of which, individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely interferes with the current use of the Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or with the mortgagor’s ability to pay its obligations under the Mortgage Loan when they become due or materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgaged Property, (d) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject, none of which, individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely interferes with the current use of the Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or with the mortgagor’s ability to pay its obligations under the Mortgage Loan when they become due or materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgaged Property, (e) the right of tenants (whether under ground leases, space leases or operating leases) at the Mortgaged Property to remain following a foreclosure or similar proceeding (provided that such tenants are performing under such leases) and (f) if such Mortgage Loan is cross-collateralized with any other Mortgage Loan, the lien of the Mortgage for such other Mortgage Loan, none of which, individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely interferes with the current use of the Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or with the mortgagor’s ability to pay its obligations under the Mortgage Loan when they become due or materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgaged Property;

S-147
In the case of a breach of any of the representations and warranties in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement that materially and adversely affects the value of a Mortgage Loan, the interests of the Trust Fund therein or the interests of any Certificateholder, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, if it does not cure such breach within a period of 90 days following its receipt of notice thereof, is obligated pursuant to the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (the relevant rights under which have been assigned by the Depositor to the Trustee) to either substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan and pay any Substitution Shortfall Amount (other than with respect to The Woodlands Mall Loan) or to repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan within such 90-day period at the applicable Purchase Price; provided that, unless the breach would cause the Mortgage Loan not to be a qualified mortgage within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller generally has an additional 90-day period to cure such breach if it is diligently proceeding with such cure. Each Mortgage Loan Seller is solely responsible for its repurchase or substitution obligation, and such obligations will not be the responsibility of the Depositor.
The foregoing substitution or repurchase obligation constitutes the sole remedy available to the Certificateholders and the Trustee for any uncured breach of any Mortgage Loan Seller’s representations and warranties regarding its Mortgage Loans. There can be no assurance that the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller will have the financial resources to repurchase any Mortgage Loan at any particular time. Each Mortgage Loan Seller is the sole warranting party in respect of the Mortgage Loans sold by such Mortgage Loan Seller to the Depositor, and none of the Depositor nor any of such party’s affiliates (except with respect to Wachovia Bank, National Association in its capacity as a Mortgage Loan Seller) will be obligated to substitute or repurchase any such affected Mortgage Loan in connection with a breach of a Mortgage Loan Seller’s representations and warranties if such Mortgage Loan Seller defaults on its obligation to do so.
With respect to any Mortgage Loan which has become a Defaulted Mortgage Loan under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or with respect to which the related Mortgaged Property has been foreclosed and which is the subject of a repurchase claim under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Special Servicer with the consent of the Controlling Class Representative will be required to notify the related Mortgage Loan Seller in writing of its intention to sell such Defaulted Mortgage Loan or such foreclosed Mortgaged Property at least 45 days prior to commencing any such action. Such Mortgage Loan Seller shall have 10 business days to determine whether or not to consent to such sale. If such Mortgage Loan Seller does not consent to such sale, the Special Servicer shall contract with a third-party set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (a ‘‘Determination Party’’) as to the merits of such sale. If the related Determination Party determines that the proposed sale is reasonable, given the circumstances, and subsequent to such sale, a court of competent jurisdiction determines that such Mortgage Loan Seller was liable under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and required to repurchase such Defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Property in accordance with the terms thereof, then such Mortgage Loan Seller will be required to pay an amount equal to the difference (if any) between the proceeds of the related action and the price at which such Mortgage Loan Seller would have been obligated to pay had such Mortgage Loan Seller repurchased such Defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Property in accordance with the terms thereof which shall generally include the costs related to contracting with the Determination Party. In the event that (a) the Special Servicer ignores the determination of the Determination Party and liquidates the related Defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Property and/or (b) a court of competent jurisdiction determines that such Mortgage Loan Seller was not obligated to repurchase the related Defaulted Mortgage or REO Property, the costs of contracting with the Determination Party will constitute Additional Trust Fund Expenses, and the Mortgage Loan Seller will not be liable for any such difference.
Repurchase or Substitution of Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loans
If (i) any Mortgage Loan is required to be repurchased or substituted for in the manner described above in ‘‘—Assignment of the Mortgage Loans; Repurchases and Substitutions’’ or ‘‘—Representations and Warranties; Repurchases and Substitutions’’, (ii) such Mortgage Loan is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with one or more other Mortgage Loans (each a ‘‘Crossed Loan’’ and, collectively, a ‘‘Crossed Group’’), and (iii) the applicable document omission or defect (a ‘‘Defect’’) or breach of a
S-148
representation and warranty (a ‘‘Breach’’) does not constitute a Defect or Breach, as the case may be, as to each other Crossed Loan in such Crossed Group (without regard to this paragraph), then the applicable Defect or Breach, as the case may be, will be deemed to constitute a Defect or Breach, as the case may be, as to any other Crossed Loan in the Crossed Group for purposes of this paragraph, and the related Mortgage Loan Seller will be required to repurchase or substitute for such other Crossed Loan(s) in the related Crossed Group as provided above in ‘‘—Assignment of the Mortgage Loans; Repurchases and Substitutions’’ or ‘‘—Representations and Warranties; Repurchases and Substitutions’’ unless: (i) the debt service coverage ratio for all of the remaining Crossed Loans for the four calendar quarters immediately preceding the repurchase or substitution is not less than the debt service coverage ratio for all such related Crossed Loans, including the affected Crossed Loan, for the four calendar quarters immediately preceding the repurchase or substitution, (ii) the loan-to-value ratio for any of the remaining related Crossed Loans, determined at the time of repurchase or substitution, is not greater than the loan-to-value ratio for all such related Crossed Loans, including the affected Crossed Loan, determined at the time of repurchase or substitution, and (iii) the Trustee receives an opinion of counsel to the effect that such repurchase or substitution is permitted by the REMIC provisions. In the event that the remaining Crossed Loans satisfy the aforementioned criteria, the related Mortgage Loan Seller may elect either to repurchase or substitute for only the affected Crossed Loan as to which the related Breach or Defect exists or to repurchase or substitute for all of the Crossed Loans in the related Crossed Group.
To the extent that the related Mortgage Loan Seller repurchases or substitutes for an affected Crossed Loan as described in the immediately preceding paragraph while the Trustee continues to hold any related Crossed Loans, the related Mortgage Loan Seller and the Depositor have agreed in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to forbear from enforcing any remedies against the other’s Primary Collateral (as defined below), but each is permitted to exercise remedies against the Primary Collateral securing its respective affected Crossed Loans, including, with respect to the Trustee, the Primary Collateral securing Mortgage Loans still held by the Trustee, so long as such exercise does not materially impair the ability of the other party to exercise its remedies against its Primary Collateral. If the exercise of remedies by one party would materially impair the ability of the other party to exercise its remedies with respect to the Primary Collateral securing the Crossed Loans held by such party, then both parties have agreed in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to forbear from exercising such remedies until the loan documents evidencing and securing the relevant Mortgage Loans can be modified in a manner that complies with the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to remove the threat of material impairment as a result of the exercise of remedies or some other accommodation can be reached. ‘‘Primary Collateral’’ means the Mortgaged Property directly securing a Crossed Loan and excluding any property as to which the related lien may only be foreclosed upon by virtue of the cross collateralization features of such loans.
Changes in Mortgage Pool Characteristics
The descriptions in this prospectus supplement of the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties are based upon the Mortgage Pool as it is expected to be constituted as of the close of business on the Closing Date, assuming that (i) all scheduled principal and interest payments due on or before the Cut-Off Date will be made and (ii) there will be no principal prepayments on or before the Cut-Off Date. Prior to the issuance of the Certificates, Mortgage Loans may be removed from the Mortgage Pool as a result of prepayments, delinquencies, incomplete documentation or otherwise, if the Depositor or any Mortgage Loan Seller deems such removal necessary, appropriate or desirable. A limited number of other mortgage loans may be included in the Mortgage Pool prior to the issuance of the Certificates, unless including such mortgage loans would materially alter the characteristics of the Mortgage Pool as described in this prospectus supplement. The Depositor believes that the information set forth in this prospectus supplement will be representative of the characteristics of the Mortgage Pool as it will be constituted at the time the Certificates are issued, although the range of Mortgage Rates and maturities as well as other characteristics of the Mortgage Loans described in this prospectus supplement may vary.
A Current Report on Form 8-K (the ‘‘Form 8-K’’) will be available to purchasers of the Offered Certificates on or shortly after the Closing Date and will be filed, together with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, with the Securities and Exchange Commission within fifteen days after the initial issuance of the Offered Certificates.

SERVICING OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS
General
The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, either directly or through sub-servicers, are required to service and administer the Mortgage Loans for the benefit of the Certificateholders, and the Companion Loans for the benefit of the holders of such Companion Loans, in accordance with applicable law, the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement, if applicable, and the terms of the respective Mortgage Loans and, if applicable, the Companion Loans, to the extent consistent with the foregoing, (a) in the same manner in which, and with the same care, skill, prudence and diligence with which, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, generally services and administers similar mortgage loans with similar borrowers (i) for other third-parties, giving due consideration to customary and usual standards of practice of prudent institutional commercial mortgage lenders servicing their own loans, or (ii) held in its own portfolio, whichever standard is higher, (b) with a view to the maximization of the recovery on such Mortgage Loans on a net present value basis and the best interests of the Certificateholders and the Trust Fund or, if a Co-Lender Loan and its related Companion Loan(s) (a ‘‘Loan Pair’’) are involved, with a view towards the maximization of recovery on such Loan Pair to the Certificateholders, the holder of the related Companion Loan and the Trust Fund (as a collective whole, taking into account that the Subordinate Companion Loans are subordinate to the related Mortgage Loans and that the Pari Passu Companion Loan is pari passu in right of entitlement to payment with the Prime Outlets Pool II Loan, to the extent set forth in the Prime Outlets Pool II Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement), and (c) without regard to (i) any relationship that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, or any affiliate thereof, may have with the related borrower, a Mortgage Loan Seller or any other party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any affiliate thereof; (ii) the ownership of any Certificate or Companion Loan by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, or by any affiliate thereof; (iii) the right of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, to receive compensation or other fees for its services rendered pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (iv) the obligation of the Master Servicer to make Advances (as defined in this prospectus supplement); (v) the ownership, servicing or management by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or any affiliate thereof for others of any other mortgage loans or real property; (vi) any obligation of the Master Servicer, or any affiliate thereof, to repurchase or substitute a Mortgage Loan as a Mortgage Loan Seller; (vii) any obligation of the Master Servicer or any affiliate thereof to cure a breach of a representation and warranty with respect to a Mortgage Loan; and (viii) any debt the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or any affiliate thereof has extended to any obligor or any affiliate thereof on a Mortgage Note (the foregoing referred to as the ‘‘Servicing Standard’’).
The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer may appoint sub-servicers with respect to the Mortgage Loans and Companion Loans; provided that the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer will remain obligated under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the servicing of the Mortgage Loans. The Trust Fund will not be responsible for any fees owed to any sub-servicer retained by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer. Each sub-servicer retained thereby will be reimbursed by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, for certain expenditures which it makes, generally to the same extent the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer would be reimbursed under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Set forth below is a description of certain pertinent provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans and the Companion Loans. Reference is also made to the accompanying prospectus, in particular to the section captioned ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENTS’’, for important information in addition to that set forth in this prospectus supplement regarding the terms and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as they relate to the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer thereunder. The Special Servicer generally has all of the rights to indemnity and reimbursement, and limitations on liability, that the Master Servicer is described as having in the accompanying prospectus and certain additional rights to indemnity as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to actions taken at the direction of the Controlling Class Representative (and, in certain circumstances, the holder
S-150
of a Subordinate Companion Loan), and the Special Servicer rather than the Master Servicer will perform the servicing duties described in the accompanying prospectus with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Properties (each as described in this prospectus supplement). In addition to the circumstances for resignation of the Master Servicer set forth in the accompanying prospectus, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each has the right to resign at any other time, provided that (i) a willing successor thereto has been found, (ii) each of the Rating Agencies confirms in writing that the successor’s appointment will not result in a withdrawal, qualification or downgrade of any rating or ratings assigned to any class of Certificates, (iii) the resigning party pays all costs and expenses in connection with such transfer, and (iv) the successor accepts appointment prior to the effectiveness of such resignation. See ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENTS—Certain Matters Regarding the Master Servicer and the Depositor’’ in the accompanying prospectus.
With respect to any Loan Pair, the Companion Loan for which is included in a securitization trust that is subject to the provisions of Regulation AB of the Securities Act, the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, Trustee and any subservicer will be required to provide such reports and information and otherwise take such commercially reasonable actions with respect to such Companion Loan as is necessary for the Depositor, Issuing Entity, Master Servicer, Special Servicer and Trustee to comply with all requirements of Regulation AB of the Securities Act.

The Master Servicer’s servicing policies and procedures are updated periodically to keep pace with the changes in the commercial mortgage-backed securities industry and have been generally consistent for the last three years in all material respects. The only significant changes in the Master Servicer’s policies and procedures have come in response to changes in federal or state law or investor requirements, such as updates issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation. The Master Servicer may perform any of its obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement through one or more third-party vendors, affiliates or subsidiaries. The Master Servicer may engage third-party vendors to provide technology or process efficiencies.

Generally, all amounts received by the Master Servicer on the underlying Mortgage Loans are initially deposited into a common clearing account with collections on other mortgage loans serviced by the Master Servicer and are then allocated and transferred to the appropriate account as further described in this prospectus supplement.
The Master Servicer will not have primary responsibility for custody services of original documents evidencing the underlying mortgage loans. On occasion, the Master Servicer may have custody of certain of such documents as necessary for enforcement actions involving particular mortgage loans or otherwise. To the extent the Master Servicer performs custodial functions as the master servicer, documents will be maintained in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard. Custodial functions will ordinarily be performed by the Trustee as described under ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE MORTGAGE POOL— Assignment of the Mortgage Loans; Repurchases and Substitutions’’ in this prospectus supplement.
The information set forth herein regarding the Master Servicer has been provided by Wachovia Bank, National Association.
The Special Servicer
LNR Partners, Inc. (‘‘LNR Partners’’), a Florida corporation and a subsidiary of LNR Property Holdings, Ltd. (‘‘LNR’’), will initially be appointed as special servicer for the mortgage pool. The principal executive offices of LNR Partners are located at 1601 Washington Avenue, Suite 700, Miami Beach, Florida 33139 and its telephone number is (305)-695-5600. LNR through its subsidiaries, affiliates and joint ventures, is involved in the real estate investment, finance and management business and engages principally in:
• | acquiring, developing, repositioning, managing and selling commercial and multifamily residential real estate properties, |
• | investing in high-yielding real estate loans, and |
• | investing in, and managing as special servicer, unrated and non-investment grade rated commercial mortgaged backed securities (‘‘CMBS’’). |
LNR Partners and its affiliates have substantial experience in working out loans and in performing the other obligations of the special servicer as more particularly described in the series 2006-C26 pooling
S-153
and servicing agreement, including, but not limited to, processing borrower requests for lender consent to assumptions, leases, easements, partial releases and expansion and/or redevelopment of the mortgaged properties. LNR Partners and its affiliates have been engaged in the special servicing of commercial real estate assets for over 13 years. The number of CMBS pools specially serviced by LNR Partners and its affiliates has increased from 46 in December 1998 to over 160 as of August 31, 2005. More specifically, LNR Partners (and its predecessors in interest) acted as special servicer with respect to: (a) 84 domestic CMBS pools as of December 31, 2001, with a then current face value in excess of $53 billion; (b) 102 domestic CMBS pools as of December 31, 2002, with a then current face value in excess of $67 billion; (c) 113 domestic CMBS pools as of December 31, 2003, with a then current face value in excess of $79 billion; (d) 134 domestic CMBS pools as of December 31, 2004, with a then current face value in excess of $111 billion; and (e) 136 domestic CMBS pools as of August 31, 2005, with a then current face value in excess of $131 billion. Additionally, LNR Partners has resolved over $23 billion of U.S. commercial and multifamily loans over the past 13 years, including $1.1 billion of U.S. commercial and multifamily mortgage loans during 2001, $1.9 billion of U.S. commercial and multifamily mortgage loans during 2002, $1.5 billion of U.S. commercial and multifamily mortgage loans during 2003, $2.1 billion of U.S. commercial and multifamily mortgage loans during 2004 and $1.1 billion of U.S. commercial and multifamily mortgage loans during the period of January 1 through August 31, 2005.
LNR or one of its affiliates generally seeks investments where it has the right to appoint LNR Partners as the special servicer. LNR Partners and its affiliates have regional offices located across the country in Florida, Georgia, Texas, Massachusetts, North Carolina and California, and in Europe in London, England, Paris, France and Munich, Germany. As of May 31, 2005, LNR Partners had 159 employees responsible for the special servicing of commercial real estate assets. As of August 31, 2005, LNR Partners and its affiliates specially service a portfolio which included approximately 16,000 assets in the 50 states and in Europe with a then current face value in excess of $146 billion, all of which are commercial real estate assets. Those commercial real estate assets include mortgage loans secured by the same types of income producing properties as secure the mortgage loans backing the series 2006-C26 certificates. Accordingly, the assets of LNR Partners and its affiliates may, depending upon the particular circumstances, including the nature and location of such assets, compete with the mortgaged real properties securing the underlying mortgage loans for tenants, purchasers, financing and so forth. LNR Partners does not service any assets other than commercial real estate assets.
LNR Partners maintains internal and external watch lists, performs monthly calls with master servicers and conducts overall deal surveillance and shadow servicing. LNR Partners has developed distinct strategies and procedures for working with borrowers on problem loans (caused by delinquencies, bankruptcies or other breaches of the loan documents) designed to maximize value from the assets for the benefit of the certificateholders. These strategies and procedures vary on a case by case basis, and include, but are not limited to, liquidation of the underlying collateral, note sales, discounted payoffs, and borrower negotiation or workout in accordance with the Servicing Standard. Generally, four basic factors are considered by LNR Partners as part of its analysis and determination of what strategies and procedures to utilize in connection with problem loans. They are (i) the condition and type of mortgaged property, (ii) the borrower, (iii) the jurisdiction in which the mortgaged property is located, and (iv) the actual terms, conditions and provisions of the underlying loan documents. After each of these items is evaluated and considered, LNR Partners' strategy is guided by the Servicing Standard and all relevant provisions of the applicable pooling and servicing agreement pertaining to specially serviced and REO mortgage loans.
LNR Partners has the highest ratings afforded to special servicers by S&P and Moody's, respectively.
There have not been, during the past three years, any material changes to the policies or procedures of LNR Partners in the servicing function it will perform under the series 2006-C26 pooling and servicing agreement for assets of the same type included in this securitization transaction. LNR Partners has not engaged, and currently does not have any plans to engage, any sub-servicers to perform on its behalf any of its duties with respect to this securitization transaction. LNR Partners does not believe that its financial condition will have any adverse effect on the performance of its duties under the series 2006-C26 pooling and servicing agreement and, accordingly, will not have any material impact on the mortgage pool performance or the performance of the series 2006-C26 certificates. Generally, LNR Partners' servicing
S-154
functions under pooling and servicing agreements do not include collection on the pool assets, however LNR Partners does maintain certain operating accounts with respect to REO mortgage loans in accordance with the terms of the applicable pooling and servicing agreements and consistent with the Servicing Standard set forth in each of such pooling and servicing agreements. LNR Partners does not have any material primary advancing obligations with respect to the CMBS pools as to which it acts as special servicer, except with respect to the obligation to make servicing advances only on specially serviced mortgage loans in six commercial mortgage securitization transactions, and the obligation to make advances of delinquent debt service payments on specially serviced mortgage loans in one commercial mortgage securitization transaction.
LNR Partners will not have primary responsibility for custody services of original documents evidencing the underlying mortgage loans. On occasion, LNR Partners may have custody of certain of such documents as necessary for enforcement actions involving particular mortgage loans or otherwise. To the extent that LNR Partners has custody of any such documents, such documents will be maintained in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard.
No securitization transaction involving commercial or multifamily mortgage loans in which LNR Partners was acting as special servicer has experienced an event of default as a result of any action or inaction by LNR Partners as special servicer. LNR Partners has not been terminated as servicer in a commercial mortgage loan securitization, either due to a servicing default or to application of a servicing performance test or trigger. In addition, there has been no previous disclosure of material noncompliance with servicing criteria by LNR Partners with respect to any other securitization transaction involving commercial or multifamily mortgage loans in which LNR Partners was acting as special servicer.
There are, to the actual current knowledge of LNR Partners, no special or unique factors of a material nature involved in special servicing the particular types of assets included in the subject securitization, as compared to the types of assets specially serviced by LNR Partners in other commercial mortgage backed securitization pools generally, for which LNR Partners has developed processes and procedures which materially differ from the processes and procedures employed by LNR Partners in connection with its specially servicing of commercial mortgaged backed securitization pools generally.
There are currently no legal proceedings pending, and no legal proceedings known to be contemplated by governmental authorities, against LNR Partners or of which any of its property is the subject, that is material to the series 2006-C26 certificateholders.
LNR Partners is not an affiliate of the depositor, the sponsor(s), the trust, the master servicer, the trustee or any originator of any of the underlying mortgage loans identified in this prospectus supplement.
LNR Securities Holdings, LLC, an affiliate of LNR Partners, will acquire an interest in one or more classes of the certificates. Otherwise, except for LNR Partners acting as special servicer for this securitization transaction, there are no specific relationships involving or relating to this securitization transaction or the securitized mortgage loans between LNR Partners or any of its affiliates, on the one hand, and the depositor, sponsor(s) or the trust, on the other hand, that currently exist or that existed during the past two years. In addition, there are no business relationships, agreements, arrangements, transactions or understandings that have been entered into outside the ordinary course of business or on terms other than would be obtained in an arm's length transaction with an unrelated third party – apart from the subject securitization transaction – between LNR Partners or any of its affiliates, on the one hand, and the depositor, the sponsor(s) or the trust, on the other hand, that currently exist or that existed during the past two years and that are material to an investor's understanding of the offered certificates.

Certain Special Servicing Provisions
With respect to the Mortgage Loans (other than The Woodlands Mall Loan), the Pooling and Servicing Agreement permits the holder (or holders) of the majority of the Voting Rights allocated to the Controlling Class to replace the Special Servicer and to select a representative (the ‘‘Controlling Class Representative’’) who may advise the Special Servicer and whose approval is required for certain actions
S-155
by the Special Servicer under certain circumstances. With respect to the Prime Outlets Pool II Loan, if the Prime Outlets Pool II Pari Passu Companion Loan is included in a securitization, the rights of the Controlling Class Representative to advise on certain servicing actions will be shared with the controlling class representative with respect to such securitization. Notwithstanding anything contained in this prospectus supplement to the contrary, the holders of the Companion Loans may have the ability to exercise some or all of the rights of the Controlling Class and the Controlling Class Representative as well as certain additional rights as more fully described in ‘‘—The Controlling Class Representative’’ below including, with respect to The Woodlands Mall Loan, the Prime Outlets Pool II Loan and the Chemed Center Leasehold Loan, the right to replace the Special Servicer solely with respect to The Woodlands Mall Loan, the Prime Outlets Pool II Loan and the Chemed Center Leasehold Loan. The Controlling Class Representative with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other than The Woodlands Mall Loan) is selected by the holders of Certificates representing more than 50% of the Certificate Balance of the Controlling Class. The Controlling Class Representative with respect to The Woodlands Mall Loan is appointed first by the holder of a majority of the Class WM Certificates until the Component Principal Balance of The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component minus the portion of any Appraisal Reduction Amount allocable to The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component is less than 25% of its original Component Principal Balance, and then by the holders of Certificates representing more than 50% of the Certificate Balance of the Controlling Class; provided that the Controlling Class Representative with respect to The Woodlands Mall Loan may not be the related borrower or an affiliate of the related borrower. See ‘‘—The Controlling Class Representative’’ below. Such holder (or holders) will be required to pay all out-of-pocket costs related to the transfer of servicing if the Special Servicer is replaced other than due to an event of default, including without limitation, any costs relating to Rating Agency confirmation and legal fees associated with the transfer. The ‘‘Controlling Class’’ is the Class of Sequential Pay Certificates, (i) which bears the latest payment priority and (ii) the Certificate Balance of which is greater than 25% of its original Certificate Balance; provided, however, that if no Class of Sequential Pay Certificates satisfies clause (ii) above, the Controlling Class shall be the outstanding Class of Sequential Pay Certificates bearing the latest payment priority. The Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-PB, Class A-3, Class A-3FL and Class A-1A Certificates will be treated as one Class for purposes of determining the Controlling Class.
The Special Servicer is responsible for servicing and administering any Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan (other than the Prime Outlets Pool II Pari Passu Companion Loan) as to which (a) the related mortgagor has (i) failed to make within 60 days of the date due any Balloon Payment; provided, however, that if the borrower continues to make its Assumed Scheduled Payment and diligently pursues refinancing, a Servicing Transfer Event shall not occur until 60 days following such default (or, if the borrower has produced a written refinancing commitment that is reasonably acceptable to the Special Servicer and the Controlling Class Representative has given its consent (which consent shall be deemed denied if not granted within 10 Business Days), 120 days following such default; (provided that if such refinancing does not occur during such time specified in the commitment, a Servicing Transfer Event will be deemed to have occurred), or (ii) failed to make when due any Periodic Payment (other than a Balloon Payment), and such failure has continued unremedied for 60 days; (b) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (in the case of the Special Servicer, with the consent of the Controlling Class Representative) has determined, in its good faith reasonable judgment and in accordance with the Servicing Standard, based on communications with the related mortgagor, that a default in making a Periodic Payment (including a Balloon Payment) or any other default under the applicable Mortgage Loan documents that would (with respect to such other default) materially impair the value of the Mortgaged Property as security for the Mortgage Loan and, if applicable, Companion Loan or otherwise would materially adversely affect the interests of Certificateholders and would continue unremedied beyond the applicable grace period under the terms of the Mortgage Loan (or, if no grace period is specified, for 60 days; and provided, that a default that would give rise to an acceleration right without any grace period shall be deemed to have a grace period equal to zero) is likely to occur and is likely to remain unremedied for at least 60 days; (c) there shall have occurred a default (other than as described in clause (a) above and, in certain circumstances, the failure to maintain insurance for terrorist or similar attacks or for other risks required by the Mortgage Loan documents to be insured against pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (in the case of the Special Servicer, with the
S-156
consent of the Controlling Class Representative) shall have determined, in its good faith and reasonable judgment and in accordance with the Servicing Standard, materially impairs the value of the Mortgaged Property as security for the Mortgage Loan and, if applicable, Companion Loan or otherwise materially adversely affects the interests of Certificateholders (and, if applicable, the holders of the Companion Loans) and that continues unremedied beyond the applicable grace period under the terms of the Mortgage Loan (or, if no grace period is specified, for 60 days and provided that a default that gives rise to an acceleration right without any grace period shall be deemed to have a grace period equal to zero); (d) a decree or order under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law shall have been entered against the related borrower and such decree or order shall have remained in force, undischarged, undismissed or unstayed for a period of 60 days; (e) the related borrower shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency or similar proceedings of or relating to such related borrower or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property; (f) the related borrower shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations; (g) the Master Servicer shall have force placed insurance against damages or losses arising from acts of terrorism due to the failure of the related borrower to maintain or cause such insurance to be maintained and (1) subsequent to such force placement such borrower fails to maintain or cause to be maintained insurance coverage against damages or losses arising from acts of terrorism for a period of 60 days (or such shorter time period as the Controlling Class Representative may consent to) or (2) the Master Servicer fails to have been reimbursed for any Servicing Advances made in connection with the force placement of such insurance coverage (unless the circumstances giving rise to such forced placement of such insurance coverage have otherwise been cured and the Master Servicer has been reimbursed for any Servicing Advances made in connection with the forced placement of such insurance coverage); or (h) the Master Servicer shall have received notice of the commencement of foreclosure or similar proceedings with respect to the related Mortgaged Property (each event described in clauses (a) through (h) above, a ‘‘Servicing Transfer Event’’).
In general, as long as a Co-Lender Loan is owned by the Trust Fund, each related Companion Loan will be serviced and administered under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as if it were a Mortgage Loan and the holder of the related promissory note were a Certificateholder. If a Companion Loan becomes specially serviced, then the Co-Lender Loan will become a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan. If a Co-Lender Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, then the related Companion Loan will become a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan.
If any amounts due under a Co-Lender Loan or the related Subordinate Companion Loan are accelerated after an event of default under the applicable Mortgage Loan documents, the holder of any related Subordinate Companion Loan will be entitled to purchase the related Mortgage Loan at the price described under ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE MORTGAGE POOL—Co-Lender Loans’’ in this prospectus supplement.
If a Servicing Transfer Event occurs with respect to any Mortgage Loan or a related Companion Loan, the Master Servicer is in general required to transfer its servicing responsibilities with respect to such Mortgage Loan and Companion Loan to the Special Servicer. Notwithstanding such transfer, the Master Servicer will continue to receive payments on such Mortgage Loan and/or Companion Loan (including amounts collected by the Special Servicer), to make certain calculations with respect to such Mortgage Loan and Companion Loan, and to make remittances (including, if necessary, P&I Advances, as described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and prepare certain reports to the Trustee with respect to such Mortgage Loan. If title to the related Mortgaged Property is acquired by the Trust Fund (upon acquisition, an ‘‘REO Property’’), whether through foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, the Special Servicer will continue to be responsible for the management thereof.
Mortgage Loans and Companion Loans serviced by the Special Servicer, together with any REO Properties are referred to in this prospectus supplement as ‘‘Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans’’. The Master Servicer has no responsibility for the Special Servicer’s performance of its duties under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
S-157
A Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan will cease to be a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (and will become a ‘‘Corrected Mortgage Loan’’ as to which the Master Servicer will re-assume servicing responsibilities):
(a) with respect to the circumstances described in clause (a) of the definition of Servicing Transfer Event, when the related borrower has made three consecutive full and timely Periodic Payments under the terms of such Mortgage Loan (as such terms may be changed or modified in connection with a bankruptcy or similar proceeding involving the related borrower or by reason of a modification, waiver or amendment granted or agreed to by the Special Servicer);
(b) with respect to any of the circumstances described in clauses (b), (d), (e) and (f) of the definition of Servicing Transfer Event, when such circumstances cease to exist in the good faith, reasonable judgment of the Special Servicer, but, with respect to any bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings described in clauses (d), (e) and (f) no later than the entry of an order or decree dismissing such proceeding;
(c) with respect to the circumstances described in clause (c) of the definition of Servicing Transfer Event, when such default is cured; and
(d) with respect to the circumstances described in clause (h) of the definition of Servicing Transfer Event, when such proceedings are terminated;
so long as at that time no other Servicing Transfer Event then exists and provided no additional default is foreseeable in the reasonable good faith judgment of the Special Servicer.
The Master Servicer (or, in certain limited cases with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, the Special Servicer) will direct the deposit, transfer and disbursement of collections on the Mortgage Loans consistent with the Servicing Standard. Account activity will not generally be independently audited or verified. See ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENTS— Certificate Account’’ and ‘‘—Collection and Other Servicing Procedures’’ in the attached prospectus.
Compensation and Payment of Expenses
The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee will be entitled to payment of certain fees as compensation for its services performed under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Certain additional fees and costs payable by the related Mortgagors are allocable to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee, but such amounts are not payable from amounts that the Trust Fund is entitled to receive.

As compensation for its services, the Trustee will be entitled to receive monthly, from general funds on deposit in the Certificate Account, the Trustee Fee. The ‘‘Trustee Fee’’ for each Mortgage Loan and REO Mortgage Loan for any Distribution Date equals one month’s interest for the most recently ended calendar month (calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months), accrued at the Trustee Fee Rate on the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan, as the case may be, outstanding immediately following the prior Distribution Date (or, in the case of the initial Distribution Date, as of the Closing Date).
The principal compensation to be paid to the Master Servicer in respect of its servicing activities is the Master Servicing Fee. The ‘‘Master Servicing Fee’’ is payable monthly on a loan-by-loan basis from amounts received in respect of interest on each Mortgage Loan and each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (and from revenue with respect to each REO Mortgage Loan), is calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, accrues at the related Master Servicing Fee Rate and is computed on the basis of the same principal amount respecting which any related interest payment due on the Mortgage Loan is computed. The ‘‘Master Servicing Fee Rate’’ is a per annum rate ranging from 0.0160% to 0.1100%. As of the Cut-Off Date the weighted average Master Servicing Fee Rate will be approximately 0.0210% per annum. The Master Servicer will not be entitled to receive a separate fee with respect to a Companion Loan unless such fee is expressly set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement. Otherwise, all references in this section to ‘‘Mortgage Loans’’ will include the Companion Loans unless otherwise specified.
The principal compensation to be paid to the Special Servicer in respect of its special servicing activities is the Special Servicing Fee (together with the Master Servicing Fee, the ‘‘Servicing Fees’’) and, under the circumstances described in this prospectus supplement, Liquidation Fees and Workout Fees. The ‘‘Special Servicing Fee’’ is calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, accrues at a rate (the ‘‘Special Servicing Fee Rate’’) equal to 0.25% per annum, and is computed on the basis of the same principal amount respecting which any related interest payment due on such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan, as the case may be, is paid. However, earned Special Servicing Fees are payable out of general collections on the Mortgage Loans then on deposit in the Certificate Account. The Special Servicing Fee with respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (or REO Mortgage Loan) will cease to accrue if such loan (or the related REO Property) is liquidated or if such loan becomes a Corrected Mortgage Loan.
The Special Servicer is entitled to a ‘‘Liquidation Fee’’ with respect to each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, which Liquidation Fee generally will be in an amount equal to 1.00% of all whole or partial cash payments of Liquidation Proceeds (as defined in the accompanying Prospectus) received in respect thereof; provided, however, in no event shall the Liquidation Fee be payable to the extent a Workout Fee is payable concerning the related cash payments. However, no Liquidation Fee will be payable in connection with, or out of, insurance proceeds, condemnation proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds (as defined in the accompanying Prospectus) resulting from, the purchase of any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (i) by any Mortgage Loan Seller (as described in this prospectus supplement under ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE MORTGAGE POOL—Assignment of the Mortgage Loans; Repurchases and Substitutions’’ and ‘‘—Representations and Warranties; Repurchases and Substitutions’’) within the time period specified therein, (ii) by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor or
S-163
the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder as described in this prospectus supplement under ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE CERTIFICATES—Termination’’ or (iii) in certain other limited circumstances.
The Special Servicer also is entitled to a ‘‘Workout Fee’’ with respect to each Corrected Mortgage Loan, which is generally equal to 1.00% of all payments of interest and principal received on such Mortgage Loan for so long as it remains a Corrected Mortgage Loan. If the Special Servicer is terminated or resigns, it will retain the right to receive any and all Workout Fees payable with respect to any Mortgage Loan that became a Corrected Mortgage Loan during the period that it acted as Special Servicer and remained a Corrected Mortgage Loan at the time of its termination or resignation or if the Special Servicer resolved the circumstances and/or conditions (including by way of a modification of the related Mortgage Loan documents) causing the Mortgage Loan to be a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, but the Mortgage Loan had not as of the time the Special Servicer is terminated or resigns become a Corrected Mortgage Loan because the related borrower had not made three consecutive monthly debt service payments and subsequently becomes a Corrected Mortgage Loan as a result of making such three consecutive payments. The successor Special Servicer will not be entitled to any portion of those Workout Fees.
If a borrower prepays a Mortgage Loan on a date that is prior to its Due Date in any Collection Period, the amount of interest (net of related Master Servicing Fees and, if applicable, Additional Interest) that accrues on the Mortgage Loan during such Collection Period will be less (such shortfall, a ‘‘Prepayment Interest Shortfall’’) than the amount of interest (net of related Master Servicing Fees and, if applicable, Additional Interest and without regard to any Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge actually collected) that would have accrued on the Mortgage Loan through its Due Date. If such a principal prepayment occurs during any Collection Period after the Due Date for such Mortgage Loan in such Collection Period, the amount of interest (net of related Master Servicing Fees) that accrues and is collected on the Mortgage Loans during such Collection Period will exceed (such excess, a ‘‘Prepayment Interest Excess’’) the amount of interest (net of related Master Servicing Fees, and without regard to any Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge actually collected) that would have been collected on the Mortgage Loan during such Collection Period if the borrower had not prepaid. Any Prepayment Interest Excesses collected will be paid to the Master Servicer as additional servicing compensation. However, with respect to each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer is required to deposit into the Certificate Account (such deposit, a ‘‘Compensating Interest Payment’’), without any right of reimbursement therefor, with respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and other than any Mortgage Loan on which the Special Servicer has waived a prepayment restriction and other than any Companion Loan) that was subject to a voluntary principal prepayment during the most recently ended Collection Period creating a Prepayment Interest Shortfall, an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the sum of (a) the Master Servicing Fee (up to a Master Servicing Fee Rate of 0.01% per annum) received by the Master Servicer during such Collection Period on such Mortgage Loan and (b) investment income earned by the Master Servicer on the related principal prepayment during the most recently ended Collection Period, and (ii) the amount of the related Prepayment Interest Shortfall; provided, however, to the extent any such Prepayment Interest Shortfall is the result of the Master Servicer’s failure to enforce the applicable Mortgage Loan documents, the amount in clause (a) shall include the entire Master Servicing Fee on the applicable Mortgage Loan for such Collection Period. Compensating Interest Payments will not cover shortfalls in Mortgage Loan interest accruals that result from any liquidation of a defaulted Mortgage Loan, or of any REO Property acquired in respect thereof, that occurs during a Collection Period prior to the related Due Date therein or involuntary prepayments.
As additional servicing compensation, the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer is entitled to retain all modification fees, assumption fees, defeasance fees, assumption and other application fees, late payment charges and default interest (to the extent not used to offset interest on Advances, Additional Trust Fund Expenses (other than Special Servicing Fees, Workout Fees and/or Liquidation Fees) and the cost of property inspections as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and to the extent not otherwise allocated to the Companion Loan in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement) and Prepayment Interest Excesses collected from borrowers on Mortgage Loans. In addition, to the extent the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer receives late payment charges or default interest on a Mortgage Loan for which interest on Advances or Additional Trust Fund Expenses (other than Special Servicing
S-164
Fees, Workout Fees and/or Liquidation Fees) related to such Mortgage Loan has been paid and not previously reimbursed to the Trust Fund, such late payment charges or default interest will be used to reimburse the Trust Fund for such payment of interest or Additional Trust Fund Expenses. In addition, each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer is authorized to invest or direct the investment of funds held in those accounts maintained by it that relate to the Mortgage Loans or REO Properties, as the case may be, in certain short-term United States government securities and certain other permitted investment grade obligations, and the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each will be entitled to retain any interest or other income earned on such funds held in those accounts maintained by it, but shall be required to cover any losses on investments of funds held in those accounts maintained by it, from its own funds without any right to reimbursement, except in certain limited circumstances described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Each of the Master Servicer and Special Servicer is, in general, required to pay all ordinary expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, including the fees and any additional servicing compensation of any sub-servicers retained by it, and is not entitled to reimbursement therefor except as expressly provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. However, each of the Master Servicer and Special Servicer is permitted to pay certain of such expenses (including certain expenses incurred as a result of a Mortgage Loan default) directly out of the Certificate Account and at times without regard to the Mortgage Loan with respect to which such expenses were incurred. See ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE CERTIFICATES—Distributions’’ in this prospectus supplement and ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENTS—Certificate Account’’ and ‘‘—Servicing Compensation and Payment of Expenses’’ in the accompanying prospectus.
As and to the extent described in this prospectus supplement under ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE CERTIFICATES—P&I Advances’’, each of the Master Servicer and the Trustee is entitled to receive interest, at the Reimbursement Rate, on any reimbursable servicing expenses incurred by it. Such interest will compound annually and will be paid, contemporaneously with the reimbursement of the related servicing expense, first out of late payment charges and default interest received on the related Mortgage Loan during the Collection Period in which such reimbursement is made and then from general collections on the Mortgage Loans then on deposit in the Certificate Account. In addition, to the extent the Master Servicer receives late payment charges or default interest on a Mortgage Loan for which interest on servicing expenses related to such Mortgage Loan has been paid from general collections on deposit in the Certificate Account and not previously reimbursed, such late payment charges or default interest will be used to reimburse the Trust Fund for such payment of interest.
Modifications, Waivers and Amendments
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement permits the Special Servicer (subject, with respect to the Co-Lender Loans, to certain rights of the holder of any related Companion Loan) to modify, waive or amend any term of any Mortgage Loan if (a) it determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that it is appropriate to do so and the Special Servicer determines that such modification, waiver or amendment is not ‘‘significant’’ within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b), and (b) except as described in the following paragraph, such modification, waiver or amendment, will not (i) affect the amount or timing of any related payments of principal, interest or other amount (including Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges) payable under the Mortgage Loan, (ii) affect the obligation of the related borrower to pay a Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge or permit a principal prepayment during the applicable Lockout Period, (iii) except as expressly provided by the related Mortgage or in connection with a material adverse environmental condition at the related Mortgaged Property, result in a release of the lien of the related Mortgage on any material portion of such Mortgaged Property without a corresponding principal prepayment in an amount not less than the fair market value of the property released, (iv) if such Mortgage Loan is equal to or in excess of 5% of the then aggregate current principal balances of all Mortgage Loans or $35,000,000, or is one of the ten largest Mortgage Loans by Stated Principal Balance as of such date, permit the transfer of (A) the related Mortgaged Property or any interest therein or (B) equity interests in the related borrower or an equity owner of the borrower that would result, in the aggregate during the term of the related Mortgage Loan, in a transfer greater than 49% of the total interest in the borrower and/or any equity owner of the

borrower or a transfer of voting control in the borrower or an equity owner of the borrower without the prior written confirmation from each Rating Agency (as applicable) that such change will not result in the qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of the ratings then assigned to the Certificates, (v) allow any additional lien on the related Mortgaged Property if such Mortgage Loan is equal to or in excess of 2% of the then aggregate current principal balances of the Mortgage Loans or $20,000,000, is one of the ten largest Mortgage Loans by Stated Principal Balance as of such date, or with respect to S&P only, has an aggregate LTV that is equal to or greater than 85% or has an aggregate DSCR that is less than 1.20x, without the prior written confirmation from each Rating Agency (as applicable) that such change will not result in the qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of the ratings then assigned to the Certificates, or (vi) in the good faith, reasonable judgment of the Special Servicer, materially impair the security for the Mortgage Loan or reduce the likelihood of timely payment of amounts due thereon.
Notwithstanding clause (b) of the preceding paragraph and, with respect to the Co-Lender Loans, subject to certain rights of the holders of any related Companion Loan, the Special Servicer may (i) reduce the amounts owing under any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan by forgiving principal, accrued interest and/or any Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge, (ii) reduce the amount of the Periodic Payment on any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, including by way of a reduction in the related Mortgage Rate, (iii) forbear in the enforcement of any right granted under any Mortgage Note or Mortgage relating to a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, (iv) extend the maturity date of any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (and the Master Servicer may extend the maturity date of Mortgage Loans with an original maturity of five years or less with Controlling Class approval for up to two six-month extensions), and/or (v) accept a principal prepayment during any Lockout Period; provided that (x) the related borrower is in default with respect to the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or, in the reasonable, good faith judgment of the Special Servicer, such default by the borrower is reasonably foreseeable, (y) in the reasonable, good faith judgment of the Special Servicer, such modification would increase the recovery to Certificateholders (and any of the holders of the Companion Loans, taken as a collective whole, as applicable) on a net present value basis determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard and (z) such modification, waiver or amendment does not result in a tax being imposed on the Trust Fund or cause any REMIC relating to the assets of the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time the Certificates are outstanding. In no event, however, is the Special Servicer permitted to (i) extend the maturity date of a Mortgage Loan beyond a date that is two years prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date, (ii) reduce the Mortgage Rate of a Mortgage Loan to less than the lesser of (a) the original Mortgage Rate of such Mortgage Loan, (b) the highest Pass-Through Rate of any Class of Certificates (other than any Class X-C or Class X-P Certificates) then outstanding, or (c) a rate below the then prevailing interest rate for comparable loans, as determined by the Special Servicer, (iii) if the Mortgage Loan is secured by a ground lease (and not also by the corresponding fee simple interest), extend the maturity date of such Mortgage Loan beyond a date which is 20 years prior to the expiration of the term of such ground lease or (iv) defer interest due on any Mortgage Loan in excess of 10% of the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan or defer the collection of interest on any Mortgage Loan without accruing interest on such deferred interest at a rate at least equal to the Mortgage Rate of such Mortgage Loan. The Special Servicer will have the ability, subject to the Servicing Standard described under ‘‘—General’’ above, to modify Mortgage Loans with respect to which default is reasonably foreseeable, but which are not yet in default.
The Special Servicer is required to notify the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Controlling Class Representative and the Rating Agencies (and, with respect to the Woodlands Mall Loan, the holder of the Class WM Certificates) and, with respect to the Co-Lender Loans, subject to certain rights of the holders of the related Companion Loans, of any material modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, and to deliver to the Trustee or the related Custodian (with a copy to the Master Servicer), for deposit in the related Mortgage File, an original counterpart of the agreement related to such modification, waiver or amendment, promptly (and in any event within ten business days) following the execution thereof. Copies of each agreement whereby any such modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan is effected are required to be available
S-166
for review during normal business hours at the offices of the Special Servicer. See ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE CERTIFICATES—Reports to Certificateholders; Available Information’’ in this prospectus supplement.
For any Mortgage Loan other than a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and subject to the rights of the Special Servicer, and, with respect to the Co-Lender Loans, subject to certain rights of the holders of the related Companion Loans, the Master Servicer is responsible for any request by a borrower for the consent to modify, waive or amend certain terms as specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, including, without limitation, (i) approving certain leasing activities subject to certain thresholds as more particularly set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, (ii) approving certain substitute property managers, (iii) approving certain waivers regarding the timing or need to audit certain financial statements, (iv) approving certain modifications in connection with a defeasance permitted by the terms of the applicable Mortgage Loan documents and (v) approving certain consents with respect to non-material rights-of-way and easements and consents to subordination of the related Mortgage Loan to such non-material easements or rights-of-way as more specifically set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Generally, any modification, extension, waiver or amendment of the payment terms of a Co-Lender Loan will be required to be structured so as to be consistent with the allocation and payment priorities in the related loan documents and the related Intercreditor Agreement, such that neither the Trust Fund as holder of the Co-Lender Loan, nor the holder(s) of the related Companion Loans gain a priority over the other such holder that is not reflected in the related Mortgage Loan documents and the related Intercreditor Agreement.
The Controlling Class Representative
Subject to the succeeding paragraphs the Controlling Class Representative is entitled to advise the Special Servicer with respect to the following actions of the Special Servicer, and the Special Servicer is not permitted to take any of the following actions as to which the Controlling Class Representative has objected in writing within ten business days of being notified thereof (provided that if such written objection has not been received by the Special Servicer within such ten business day period, then the Controlling Class Representative’s approval will be deemed to have been given):
(i) any actual or proposed foreclosure upon or comparable conversion (which may include acquisitions of an REO Property) of the ownership of properties securing such of the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans as come into and continue in default;
(ii) any modification or waiver of any term of the related Mortgage Loan documents of a Mortgage Loan that relates to the Maturity Date, Mortgage Rate, principal balance, amortization term, payment frequency or any provision requiring the payment of a Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge (other than a modification consisting of the extension of the maturity date of a Mortgage Loan for one year or less) or a material non-monetary term;
(iii) any actual or proposed sale of an REO Property (other than in connection with the termination of the Trust Fund as described under ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE CERTIFICATES— Termination’’ in this prospectus supplement or pursuant to a Purchase Option as described below under ‘‘—Defaulted Mortgage Loans; REO Properties; Purchase Option’’);
(iv) any determination to bring an REO Property into compliance with applicable environmental laws or to otherwise address hazardous materials located at an REO Property;
(v) any acceptance of substitute or additional collateral or release of material collateral for a Mortgage Loan unless required by the underlying Mortgage Loan documents;
(vi) any waiver of a ‘‘due-on-sale’’ or ‘‘due-on-encumbrance’’ clause;
(vii) any release of any performance or ‘‘earn-out’’ reserves, escrows or letters of credit;
(viii) any acceptance of an assumption agreement releasing a borrower from liability under a Mortgage Loan (other than in connection with a defeasance permitted under the terms of the applicable Mortgage Loan documents);
S-167
(ix) any termination of, or modification of, any applicable franchise agreements related to a Mortgage Loan secured by a hotel;
(x) any termination of the related property manager for Mortgage Loans having an outstanding principal balance of greater than $5,000,000;
(xi) any determination to allow a borrower not to maintain terrorism or, to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, windstorm insurance; and
(xii) any determination to decrease the time period referenced in clause (g) of the definition of Servicing Transfer Event.
In addition, the Controlling Class Representative may direct the Special Servicer to take, or to refrain from taking, such other actions as the Controlling Class Representative may deem advisable or as to which provision is otherwise made in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; provided that no such direction and no objection contemplated by the prior paragraph may (i) require or cause the Special Servicer to violate any REMIC provisions, any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or applicable law, including the Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard, or (ii) expose the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trust Fund or the Trustee to liability, or materially expand the scope of the Special Servicer or its responsibilities under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or cause the Special Servicer to act or fail to act in a manner which, in the reasonable judgment of the Special Servicer, is not in the best interests of the Certificateholders. Except with respect to The Woodlands Mall Loan, American Capital Strategies, Ltd. or its affiliate will be the initial Controlling Class Representative.
Pursuant to the Prime Outlets Pool II Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, the Controlling Class Representative will generally share with the holder of the Prime Outlets Pool II Pari Passu Companion Loan the rights given to the Controlling Class Representative to direct the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer with respect to the servicing of the Prime Outlets Pool II Loan and the Prime Outlets Pool II Pari Passu Companion Loan. In general, in the event the Controlling Class Representative is required to give its consent or advice or otherwise take any action with respect to the Prime Outlets Pool II Loan, the Controlling Class Representative will generally be required to confer with the holder of the Prime Outlets Pool II Pari Passu Companion Loan regarding such advice or consent. In the event that the Controlling Class Representative and the holder of the Prime Outlets Pool II Pari Passu Companion Loan disagree with respect to such advice, consent or action, the Prime Outlets Pool II Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement provides that the Controlling Class Representative and the holder of the Prime Outlets Pool II Pari Passu Companion Loan will contract with a third party designated under the Prime Outlets Pool II Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement to resolve such disagreement and the decision of such third-party will be binding upon the Controlling Class Representative and the holder of the Prime Outlets Pool II Pari Passu Companion Loan in accordance with the Prime Outlets Pool II Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement.
Notwithstanding the rights of the Controlling Class Representative detailed above, the holder of the Tan-Tar-A Resort Companion Loan may exercise certain approval rights relating to a modification of the Tan-Tar-A Resort Loan or the Tan-Tar-A Resort Companion Loan that materially and adversely affects the holder of the Tan-Tar-A Resort Companion Loan prior to the expiration of the related repurchase period. See ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE MORTGAGE POOL—Co-Lender Loans—Tan-Tar-A Resort Loan—Servicing Provisions of the Tan-Tar-A Resort Intercreditor Agreement’’ in this prospectus supplement.
Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, provided no Woodlands Mall Control Appraisal Period is in effect under The Woodlands Mall Intercreditor Agreement, the holder of The Woodlands Mall Companion Loan will have the right to direct and/or consent to certain actions of the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer with respect to The Woodlands Mall Whole Loan and the Controlling Class, and the Controlling Class Representative, will not have the consent and advice rights described in this prospectus supplement; provided however, the Controlling Class Representative will be entitled to discuss (without any consent or direction right) any of the following actions with the Special Servicer. Generally, the holder of The Woodlands Mall Companion Loan will be entitled to rights including that (i) the Special
S-168
Servicer and/or the Master Servicer will be required to consult with the holder of The Woodlands Mall Companion Loan or its designee in connection with any adoption or implementation of a business plan submitted by the borrower with respect to the Mortgaged Property, the execution or renewal of any lease, the release of any escrow held in conjunction with The Woodlands Mall Whole Loan to the borrower not expressly required by the terms of the Mortgage Loan documents or under applicable law, alterations on the Mortgaged Property if approval by the mortgagee is required by the Mortgage Loan documents, material change in any ancillary Mortgage Loan documents or the waiver of any notice provisions related to prepayment; and (ii) the holder of The Woodlands Mall Companion Loan or its designee will be entitled to exercise rights and powers with respect to The Woodlands Mall Whole Loan that are the same as or similar to those of the Controlling Class Representative described above and must be notified of, and give its prior written approval to the following additional actions in accordance with The Woodlands Mall Intercreditor Agreement: (A) any modification of, or waiver with respect to, The Woodlands Mall Whole Loan that would result in the extension of the maturity date or extended maturity date thereof, a reduction in the interest rate borne thereby or the monthly debt service payment, prepayment premium or extension fee payable thereon or a deferral or a forgiveness of interest on or principal of The Woodlands Mall Whole Loan or a modification or waiver of any other monetary term of The Woodlands Mall Whole Loan relating to the timing or amount of any payment of principal or interest (other than default interest) or any other material sums due and payable under the Mortgage Loan documents or a modification or waiver of any provision of The Woodlands Mall Whole Loan which restricts the borrower or its equity owners from incurring additional indebtedness; (B) any modification of, or waiver with respect to, The Woodlands Mall Whole Loan that would result in a discounted pay-off of The Woodlands Mall Whole Loan; (C) any foreclosure upon or comparable conversion of the ownership of the Mortgaged Property or any acquisition of the Mortgaged Property by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure; (D) any sale of the Mortgaged Property or any material portion thereof (other than pursuant to a purchase option contained in The Woodlands Mall Intercreditor Agreement or in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) or, except, as specifically permitted in the Mortgage Loan documents, the transfer of any direct or indirect interest in the borrower or any sale of The Woodlands Mall Whole Loan; (E) any action to bring the Mortgaged Property or REO Property into compliance with any laws relating to hazardous materials; (F) any substitution or release of collateral for The Woodlands Mall Whole Loan (other than in accordance with the terms of, or upon satisfaction of, The Woodlands Mall Whole Loan); (G) any release of the borrower or any guarantor from liability with respect to The Woodlands Mall Whole Loan; (H) any waiver of or determination not to enforce a ‘‘due-on-sale’’ or ‘‘due-on-encumbrance’’ clause (unless such clause is not exercisable under applicable law or such exercise is reasonably likely to result in successful legal action by the borrower); (I) any material changes to or waivers of any of the insurance requirements under the related Mortgage Loan documents; and (J) any incurrence of additional debt by the borrower to the extent such incurrence requires the consent of the mortgagee under the related Mortgage Loan documents.
Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, provided no Prime Outlets Pool II Control Appraisal Period is in effect under the Prime Outlets Pool II Subordinate Intercreditor Agreement, the holder of the Prime Outlets Pool II Subordinate Companion Loan will have the right to direct and/or consent to certain actions of the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer with respect to the Prime Outlets Pool II Whole Loan and the Controlling Class, and the Controlling Class Representative, will not have the consent and advice rights described in this prospectus supplement; provided, however, the Controlling Class Representative will be entitled to discuss (without any consent or direction right) any of the following actions with the Special Servicer. Generally, the holder of the Prime Outlets Pool II Subordinate Companion Loan will be entitled to rights including that (i) the Special Servicer and/or the Master Servicer will be required to consult with the holder of the Prime Outlets Pool II Subordinate Companion Loan or its designee in connection with any adoption or implementation of a business plan submitted by the borrower with respect to the Mortgaged Property, the execution or renewal of any lease, the release of any escrow held in conjunction with the Prime Outlets Pool II Whole Loan to the borrower not expressly required by the terms of the Mortgage Loan documents or under applicable law, alterations on the Mortgaged Property if approval by the mortgagee is required by the Mortgage Loan documents, material change in any ancillary Mortgage Loan documents or the waiver of any notice provisions related to prepayment; and (ii) the holder of the Prime Outlets Pool Subordinate II Companion Loan or its

Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, provided no Chemed Center Leasehold Control Appraisal Period is in effect under the Chemed Center Leasehold Intercreditor Agreement, the holder of the Chemed Center Leasehold Companion Loan will have the right to direct and/or consent to certain actions of the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer with respect to the Chemed Center Leasehold Whole Loan and the Controlling Class, and the Controlling Class Representative, will not have the consent and advice rights described in this prospectus supplement; provided however, the Controlling Class Representative will be entitled to discuss (without any consent or direction right) any of the following actions with the Special Servicer. Generally, the holder of the Chemed Center Leasehold Companion Loan will be entitled to rights including that (i) the Special Servicer and/or the Master Servicer will be required to consult with the holder of the Chemed Center Leasehold Companion Loan or its designee in connection with any adoption or implementation of a business plan submitted by the borrower with respect to the Mortgaged Property, the execution or renewal of any lease, the release of any escrow held in conjunction with the Chemed Center Leasehold Whole Loan to the borrower not expressly required by the terms of the Mortgage Loan documents or under applicable law, alterations on the Mortgaged Property if approval by the mortgagee is required by the Mortgage Loan documents, material change in any ancillary Mortgage Loan documents or the waiver of any notice provisions related to prepayment; and (ii) the holder of the Chemed Center Leasehold Companion Loan or its designee will be entitled to exercise rights and powers with respect to the Chemed Center Leasehold Whole Loan that are the same as or similar to those of the Controlling Class Representative described above and must be notified of, and give its prior written approval to the following additional actions in accordance with the Chemed Center Leasehold Intercreditor Agreement: (A) any modification of, or waiver with respect to, the Chemed Center Leasehold Whole Loan that would result in the extension of the maturity date or extended maturity date thereof, a reduction in the interest rate borne thereby or the monthly debt service payment,

Further, notwithstanding any of the control rights of the holders of the Subordinate Companion Loans described above, generally no such control rights contemplated by the prior paragraphs may require or cause the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, to violate any REMIC regulations, any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or applicable law, including the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard.
Limitation on Liability of the Controlling Class Representative. The Controlling Class Representative will not have any liability to the Certificateholders for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that the Controlling Class Representative will not be protected against any liability to a Controlling Class Certificateholder 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 or duties. By its acceptance of a Certificate, each Certificateholder confirms its understanding that the Controlling Class Representative may take actions that favor the interests of one or more Classes of the Certificates over other Classes of the Certificates, and that the Controlling Class Representative may have special relationships and interests that conflict with those of holders of some Classes of the Certificates; and each Certificateholder agrees to take no action against the Controlling Class Representative or any of its respective officers, directors, employees, principals or agents as a result of such a special relationship or conflict. Generally, the holders of the Subordinate Companion Loans or their respective designees, in connection with exercising the rights and powers described above with respect to the related Co-Lender Loan will be entitled to substantially the same liability limitations to which the Controlling Class Representative is entitled.
Defaulted Mortgage Loans; REO Properties; Purchase Option
The Pooling and Servicing Agreement contains provisions requiring, within 60 days after a Mortgage Loan becomes a Defaulted Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer to determine the fair value of the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the Servicing Standard. A ‘‘Defaulted Mortgage Loan’’ is a Mortgage Loan (i) that is delinquent sixty days or more with respect to a Periodic Payment (not including the Balloon Payment) or (ii) that is delinquent in respect of its Balloon Payment unless the Master Servicer
S-171
has, on or prior to the due date of such Balloon Payment, received written evidence from an institutional lender of such lender’s binding commitment to refinance such Mortgage Loan within 60 days after the due date of such Balloon Payment (provided that if such refinancing does not occur during such time specified in the commitment, the related Mortgage Loan will immediately become a Defaulted Mortgage Loan), in either case such delinquency to be determined without giving effect to any grace period permitted by the related Mortgage Loan documents and without regard to any acceleration of payments under the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note or (iii) as to which the Master Servicer or Special Servicer has, by written notice to the related mortgagor, accelerated the maturity of the indebtedness evidenced by the related Mortgage Note. The Special Servicer will be permitted to change, from time to time, its determination of the fair value of a Defaulted Mortgage Loan based upon changed circumstances, new information or otherwise, in accordance with the Servicing Standard; provided, however, that the Special Servicer will update its determination of the fair value of a Defaulted Mortgage Loan at least once every 90 days.
In the event a Mortgage Loan becomes a Defaulted Mortgage Loan, the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder will have an assignable option to purchase (subject to, in certain instances, the rights of subordinated secured creditors or mezzanine lenders to purchase the related Mortgage Loan, see ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE MORTGAGE POOL—Certain Provisions of the Intercreditor Agreements with Respect to Certain Subordinate Loans’’) (the ‘‘Purchase Option’’) the Defaulted Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund at a price (the ‘‘Option Price’’) equal to (i) the outstanding principal balance of the Defaulted Mortgage Loan as of the date of purchase, plus all accrued and unpaid interest on such balance plus all related fees and expenses, if the Special Servicer has not yet determined the fair value of the Defaulted Mortgage Loan, or (ii) the fair value of the Defaulted Mortgage Loan as determined by the Special Servicer, if the Special Servicer has made such fair value determination. If the Purchase Option is not exercised by the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder or any assignee thereof within 60 days of a Mortgage Loan becoming a Defaulted Mortgage Loan, then the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder shall assign the Purchase Option to the Special Servicer for fifteen days. If the Purchase Option is not exercised by the Special Servicer or its assignee within such fifteen day period, then the Purchase Option shall revert to the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder.
Unless and until the Purchase Option with respect to a Defaulted Mortgage Loan is exercised, the Special Servicer will be required to pursue such other resolution strategies available under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, including workout and foreclosure, consistent with the Servicing Standard, but the Special Servicer generally will not be permitted to sell the Defaulted Mortgage Loan other than pursuant to the exercise of the Purchase Option.
If not exercised sooner, the Purchase Option with respect to any Defaulted Mortgage Loan will automatically terminate upon (i) the related mortgagor’s cure of all defaults on the Defaulted Mortgage Loan, (ii) the acquisition on behalf of the Trust Fund of title to the related Mortgaged Property by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure or (iii) the modification or pay-off (full or discounted) of the Defaulted Mortgage Loan in connection with a workout. In addition, the Purchase Option with respect to a Defaulted Mortgage Loan held by any person will terminate upon the exercise of the Purchase Option by any other holder of the Purchase Option.
If (a) the Purchase Option is exercised with respect to a Defaulted Mortgage Loan and the person expected to acquire the Defaulted Mortgage Loan pursuant to such exercise is the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder, the Special Servicer, or any affiliate of any of them (in other words, the Purchase Option has not been assigned to another unaffiliated person) and (b) the Option Price is based on the Special Servicer’s determination of the fair value of the Defaulted Mortgage Loan, the Trustee will be required to determine if the Option Price represents a fair price for the Defaulted Mortgage Loan. In making such determination, the Trustee will be entitled to rely on the most recent appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property that was prepared in accordance with the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and may rely upon the opinion and report of an independent third-party in making such determination, the cost of which will be advanced by the Master Servicer.
If title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired by the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders pursuant to foreclosure proceedings instituted by the Special Servicer or otherwise, the Special Servicer, after notice to the Controlling Class Representative, shall use its reasonable best efforts to sell any REO Property as soon as practicable in accordance with the Servicing Standard but prior to the end of the third
S-172
calendar year following the year of acquisition, unless (i) the Internal Revenue Service grants an extension of time to sell such property (an ‘‘REO Extension’’) or (ii) it obtains an opinion of counsel generally to the effect that the holding of the property for more than three years after the end of the calendar year in which it was acquired will not result in the imposition of a tax on the Trust Fund or cause any REMIC relating to the assets of the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code. If the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trustee has not received an Extension or such opinion of counsel and the Special Servicer is not able to sell such REO Property within the period specified above, or if an REO Extension has been granted and the Special Servicer is unable to sell such REO Property within the extended time period, the Special Servicer shall auction the property pursuant to the auction procedure set forth below.
The Special Servicer shall give the Controlling Class Representative, the Master Servicer and the Trustee not less than five days’ prior written notice of its intention to sell any such REO Property, and shall auction the REO Property to the highest bidder (which may be the Special Servicer) in accordance with the Servicing Standard; provided, however, that the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, Majority Subordinate Certificateholder, any independent contractor engaged by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (or any officer or affiliate thereof) shall not be permitted to purchase the REO Property at a price less than the outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan as of the date of purchase, plus all accrued but unpaid interest and related fees and expenses, except in limited circumstances set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; and provided, further, that if the Special Servicer intends to bid on any REO Property, (i) the Special Servicer shall notify the Trustee of such intent, (ii) the Trustee shall promptly obtain, at the expense of the Trust Fund an appraisal of such REO Property (or internal valuation in accordance with the procedures specified in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and (iii) the Special Servicer shall not bid less than the greater of (x) the fair market value set forth in such appraisal (or internal valuation) or (y) the outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan, plus all accrued but unpaid interest and related fees and expenses.
Subject to the REMIC provisions, the Special Servicer shall act on behalf of the Trust Fund in negotiating and taking any other action necessary or appropriate in connection with the sale of any REO Property or the exercise of the Purchase Option, including the collection of all amounts payable in connection therewith. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither the Trustee, in its individual capacity, nor any of its affiliates may bid for any REO Property or purchase any Defaulted Mortgage Loan. Any sale of a Defaulted Mortgage Loan (pursuant to the Purchase Option) or REO Property shall be without recourse to, or representation or warranty by, the Trustee, the Depositor, any Mortgage Loan Seller, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Trust Fund. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall limit the liability of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee to the Trust Fund and the Certificateholders for failure to perform its duties in accordance with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. None of the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Depositor or the Trustee shall have any liability to the Trust Fund or any Certificateholder with respect to the price at which a Defaulted Mortgage Loan is sold if the sale is consummated in accordance with the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The proceeds of any sale after deduction of the expenses of such sale incurred in connection therewith shall be deposited within one business day in the Certificate Account.
If the Trust Fund acquires a Mortgaged Property by foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure upon a default with respect to a Mortgage Loan, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement provides that the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, must administer such Mortgaged Property so that the Trust Fund’s interest therein qualifies at all times as ‘‘foreclosure property’’ within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(8). The Pooling and Servicing Agreement also requires that any such Mortgaged Property be managed and operated by an ‘‘independent contractor,’’ within the meaning of applicable Treasury regulations, who furnishes or renders services to the tenants of such Mortgaged Property. Generally, REMIC I will not be taxable on income received with respect to a related Mortgaged Property to the extent that it constitutes ‘‘rents from real property,’’ within the meaning of Code Section 856(c)(3)(A) and Treasury regulations thereunder. ‘‘Rents from real property’’ do not include the portion of any rental based on the net income or gain of any tenant or sub-tenant. No determination has been made whether rent on any of the Mortgaged Properties meets this requirement. ‘‘Rents from real property’’ include charges for services customarily furnished or rendered in connection with the rental of real property, whether or not the charges are separately stated. Services furnished to the tenants of a particular building
S-173
will be considered as customary if, in the geographic market in which the building is located, tenants in buildings which are of a similar class are customarily provided with the service. No determination has been made whether the services furnished to the tenants of the Mortgaged Properties are ‘‘customary’’ within the meaning of applicable regulations. It is therefore possible that a portion of the rental income with respect to a Mortgaged Property owned by REMIC I, would not constitute ‘‘rents from real property,’’ or that all of such income would not qualify, if a separate charge is not stated for such services or they are not performed by an independent contractor. In addition to the foregoing, any net income from a trade or business operated or managed by an independent contractor on a Mortgaged Property owned by REMIC I, or gain on a sale of a Mortgaged Property (including condominium units to customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business), will not constitute ‘‘rents from real property’’. Any of the foregoing types of income may instead constitute ‘‘net income from foreclosure property’’, which would be taxable to REMIC I, at the highest marginal federal corporate rate (currently 35%) and may also be subject to state or local taxes. Any such taxes would be chargeable against the related income for purposes of determining the proceeds available for distribution to holders of Certificates. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement provides that the Special Servicer will be permitted to cause REMIC I, to earn ‘‘net income from foreclosure property’’ that is subject to tax if it determines that the net after-tax benefit to Certificateholders and the holders of the related Companion Loans could reasonably be expected to result in a greater recovery than another method of operation or rental of the Mortgaged Property. See ‘‘MATERIAL FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES’’ in this prospectus supplement.
Inspections; Collection of Operating Information
The Special Servicer is required to perform or cause to be performed a physical inspection of a Mortgaged Property as soon as practicable after the related Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, and the Master Servicer (in the case of each Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan other than a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan) or the Special Servicer (in the case of Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans) shall perform or cause to be performed a physical inspection of a Mortgaged Property as soon as the related debt service coverage ratio is below 1.00x; with respect to inspections prepared by the Special Servicer, such expense will be payable first, out of penalty interest and late payment charges otherwise payable to the Special Servicer and received in the Collection Period during which such inspection related expenses were incurred, then at the Trust Fund’s expense. In addition, beginning in 2006, with respect to each Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan with a principal balance (or allocated loan amount) at the time of such inspection of more than or equal to $2,000,000, the Master Servicer (with respect to each such Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan other than a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan) and the Special Servicer (with respect to each Mortgaged Property securing a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan) is required (and in the case of the Master Servicer at its expense) to inspect or cause to be inspected the Mortgaged Property every calendar year and with respect to each Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan with a principal balance (or allocated loan amount) at the time of such inspection of less than $2,000,000 once every other calendar year; provided that the Master Servicer is not obligated to inspect any Mortgaged Property that has been inspected by the Special Servicer in the previous 6 months. The Special Servicer and the Master Servicer each will be required to prepare a written report of each such inspection performed by it that describes the condition of the Mortgaged Property and that specifies the existence with respect thereto of any sale, transfer or abandonment or any material change in its condition or value.
The Special Servicer with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Properties or the Master Servicer with respect to all other Mortgage Loans is also required consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect from the related borrower and review the quarterly and annual operating statements of each Mortgaged Property and to cause annual operating statements to be prepared for each REO Property. Generally, the Mortgage Loans require the related borrower to deliver an annual property operating statement. However, there can be no assurance that any operating statements required to be delivered will in fact be delivered, nor is the Master Servicer or Special Servicer likely to have any practical means of compelling such delivery in the case of an otherwise performing Mortgage Loan.
Copies of the inspection reports and operating statements referred to above are required to be available for review by Certificateholders during normal business hours at the offices of the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable. See ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE CERTIFICATES— Reports to Certificateholders; Available Information’’ in this prospectus supplement.

DESCRIPTION OF THE CERTIFICATES
General
The Wachovia Bank Commercial Mortgage Trust, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2006-C26 (the ‘‘Certificates’’) will be issued pursuant to a pooling and servicing agreement, dated as of June 1, 2006, among the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee (the ‘‘Pooling and Servicing Agreement’’). The Certificates represent in the aggregate the entire beneficial ownership interest in a trust fund (the ‘‘Trust Fund’’) consisting primarily of: (i) the Mortgage Loans and all payments and other collections in respect of such loans received or applicable to periods after the applicable Cut-Off Date (exclusive of payments of principal and interest due, and principal prepayments received, on or before the Cut-Off Date); (ii) any REO Property acquired on behalf of the Trust Fund; (iii) such funds or assets as from time to time are deposited in the Certificate Account, the Distribution Account, the Floating Rate Account, the REO accounts, the Additional Interest Account, the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account and the Interest Reserve Account (see ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENTS—Certificate Account’’ in the prospectus); (iv) certain rights of the Depositor under each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement relating to Mortgage Loan document delivery requirements and the representations and warranties of the Mortgage Loan Sellers regarding the Mortgage Loans; and (v) certain rights under the swap contract with respect to the Class A-3FL Regular Interest.
The Certificates consist of the following classes (each, a ‘‘Class’’) designated as: (i) the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-PB, Class A-3, Class A-3FL and Class A-1A Certificates (collectively, the ‘‘Class A Certificates’’); (ii) the Class A-M, Class A-J, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class J, Class K, Class L, Class M, Class N, Class O and Class P Certificates (collectively, the ‘‘Subordinate Certificates’’ and, together with the Class A Certificates, the ‘‘Sequential Pay Certificates’’); (iii) the Class WM Certificates (the ‘‘Class WM Certificates’’); (iv) the Class X-C and Class X-P Certificates (together, the ‘‘Class X Certificates’’ and, collectively with the Sequential Pay Certificates and the Class WM Certificates, the ‘‘REMIC Regular Certificates’’); (v) the Class R-I and Class R-II Certificates (together, the ‘‘REMIC Residual Certificates’’); and (vi) the Class Z Certificates. The Class WM Certificates will be entitled to receive distributions only from collections on The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component in accordance with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and will not be supported by The Woodlands Mall Pooled Component or any other Mortgage Loan.
Only the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-PB, Class A-3, Class A-1A, Class X-P, Class A-M, Class A-J, Class B, Class C and Class D Certificates (collectively, the ‘‘Offered Certificates’’) are offered by this prospectus supplement. The Class A-3FL, Class E, Class F, Class G, Class H, Class J, Class K, Class L, Class M, Class N, Class O, Class P, Class X-C and Class WM Certificates (collectively, the ‘‘Non-Offered Certificates’’), the Class Z Certificates and the REMIC Residual Certificates have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the ‘‘Securities Act’’) and are not offered by this prospectus supplement. On the Closing Date, the Depositor will transfer the REMIC Residual Certificates to Wachovia Bank, National Association, a sponsor, pursuant to that certain Transfer Affidavit and Agreement (the ‘‘Transfer Affidavit and Agreement’’), but the REMIC Residual Certificates may be sold or otherwise transferred to another person at any time subject to any applicable transfer restrictions. Accordingly, information in this prospectus supplement regarding the terms of the Non-Offered Certificates, the Class Z Certificates and the REMIC Residual Certificates is provided solely because of its potential relevance to a prospective purchaser of an Offered Certificate.
On the Closing Date, the ‘‘Class A-3FL Regular Interest’’ will also be issued by the Trust Fund as an uncertificated regular interest in one of the REMICs. The Class A-3FL Regular Interest and the Class A-3FL Certificates are not being offered by this prospectus supplement. The Depositor will transfer the Class A-3FL Regular Interest to the Trust Fund in exchange for the Class A-3FL Certificates. The Class A-3FL Certificates will represent all of the beneficial ownership interest in the portion of the Trust Fund that consists of the Class A-3FL Regular Interest, the Floating Rate Account and the swap contract with respect to the Class A-3FL Regular Interest.
S-175
The Issuing Entity
The Issuing Entity will be a common law trust, created under the laws of the State of New York, formed on the Closing Date pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Issuing Entity is also sometimes referred to herein as the Trust Fund. The assets of the Trust Fund will constitute the only assets of the Issuing Entity. The Issuing Entity will have no officers or directors and no continuing duties other than to hold the assets underlying the Certificates and to issue the Certificates; and except for these activities, the issuing entity will not be authorized and will have no power to borrow money or issue debt, merge with another entity, reorganize, liquidate or sell assets or engage in any business or activities. The Issuing Entity will operate under a fiscal year ending each December 31st. The Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer are the persons authorized to act on behalf of the Issuing Entity under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Certificates. The roles and responsibilities of the foregoing are described in this prospectus supplement under ‘‘SERVICING OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS—The Master Servicer’’, ‘‘—The Special Servicer’’ and ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE CERTIFICATES—The Trustee’’. Additional information may also be found in the accompanying prospectus under ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENTS’’.
Since the Issuing Entity is a common law trust, it may not be eligible for relief under the federal bankruptcy laws, unless it can be characterized as a ‘‘business trust’’ for purposes of the federal bankruptcy laws. Bankruptcy courts look at various considerations in making this determination, so it is not possible to predict with any certainty whether or not the Issuing Entity would be characterized as a ‘‘business trust.’’ The Depositor has been formed as a bankruptcy remote special purpose entity. In connection with the sale of the Mortgage Loans from each Mortgage Loan Seller to the Depositor and from the Depositor to the Trust Fund, certain legal opinions are required.
Accordingly, although the transfer of the underlying Mortgage Loans from each Mortgage Loan Seller to the Depositor and from the Depositor to the Trust Fund has been structured as a sale, there can be no assurance that the sale of the underlying Mortgage Loans will not be recharacterized as a pledge, with the result that the Depositor or Trust Fund is deemed to be a creditor of the related Mortgage Loan Seller rather than an owner of the Mortgage Loans. See ‘‘RISK FACTORS—The Offered Certificates —The Mortgage Loan Sellers, the Depositor and the Issuing Entity Are Subject to Bankruptcy or Insolvency Laws That May Affect the Trust Fund’s Ownership of the Mortgage Loans’’ in this prospectus supplement.
Registration and Denominations
The Offered Certificates will be made available in book-entry format through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company (‘‘DTC’’). The Offered Certificates (other than the Class X-P Certificates) will be offered in denominations of not less than $10,000 actual principal amount and in integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof. The Class X-P Certificates will be offered in notional amounts of not less than $1,000,000 actual notional amount and in integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof.
Certificate Balances and Notional Amounts
Subject to a permitted variance of plus or minus 5.0%, the respective Classes of Offered Certificates described below will have the Certificate Balances representing the approximate percentage of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance as set forth in the following table:
S-176

Non-Offered Certificates (other than the Class X-C and Class WM Certificates) | $ | 274,218,767 | 15.834 | % | ||||||||
The ‘‘Certificate Balance’’ of any Class of Sequential Pay Certificates (other than the Class A-3FL Certificates), the Class A-3FL Regular Interest (and, correspondingly, the Class A-3FL Certificates) and the Class WM Certificates outstanding at any time represents the maximum amount that the holders thereof are entitled to receive as distributions allocable to principal from the cash flow on the Mortgage Loans and the other assets in the Trust Fund. The Certificate Balance of each Class of Sequential Pay Certificates (other than the Class A-3FL Certificates), the Class A-3FL Regular Interest (and, correspondingly, the Class A-3FL Certificates) and the Class WM Certificates, in each case, will be reduced on each Distribution Date by any distributions of principal actually made on such Class of Certificates or the Class A-3FL Regular Interest on such Distribution Date, and further by any Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund Expenses actually allocated to such Class of Certificates or the Class A-3FL Regular Interest on such Distribution Date. The Certificate Balance of the Class A-3FL Certificates will be reduced on each Distribution Date by an amount corresponding to any such reduction in the Certificate Balance of the Class A-3FL Regular Interest.
The Class X-C and Class X-P Certificates do not have Certificate Balances, but represent the right to receive the distributions of interest in amounts equal to the aggregate interest accrued on the applicable notional amount (each, a ‘‘Notional Amount’’) of the related Class of Class X-C and Class X-P Certificates. On each Distribution Date, the Notional Amount of the Class X-C Certificates generally will be equal to the aggregate outstanding Certificate Balances of the Sequential Pay Certificates on such Distribution Date. The initial Notional Amount of the Class X-C Certificates will equal approximately $1,731,843,767 (subject to a permitted variance of plus or minus 5.0%).
The Notional Amount of the Class X-P Certificates will generally equal:
(i) until the Distribution Date in December 2006, the sum of (a) the lesser of $32,880,000 and the Certificate Balance of the Class A-1 Certificates, (b) the lesser of $229,768,000 and the Certificate Balance of the Class A-1A Certificates and (c) the aggregate Certificate Balance of Class A-2, Class A-PB, Class A-3, Class A-M, Class A-J, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class G and Class H Certificates and the Class A-3FL Regular Interest;

(xv) after the Distribution Date in June 2013, $0.
The initial Notional Amount of the Class X-P Certificates will be $1,675,849,000.
The Certificate Balance of any Class of Sequential Pay Certificates (other than the Class A-3FL Certificates) and the Class A-3FL Regular Interest (and, correspondingly, the Class A-3FL Certificates) may be increased by the amount, if any, of Certificate Deferred Interest added to such Class Certificate Balance. With respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Mortgage Rate has been reduced through a modification on any Distribution Date, ‘‘Mortgage Deferred Interest’’ is the amount by which (a) interest accrued at such reduced rate is less than (b) the amount of interest that would have accrued on such Mortgage Loan at the Mortgage Rate before such reduction, to the extent such amount has been added to the outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan. On each Distribution Date, the amount of interest distributable to a Class of Sequential Pay Certificates will be reduced by the amount of Mortgage Deferred Interest allocable to such Class (any such amount, ‘‘Certificate Deferred Interest’’). With respect to the Sequential Pay Certificates (other than the Class A-3FL Certificates) and the Class A-3FL Regular Interest, Certificate Deferred Interest will be allocated from lowest payment priority to highest (except with respect to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-PB, Class A-3 and Class A-1A Certificates and the Class A-3FL Regular Interest, which amounts shall be applied pro rata (based on the Certificate Balances of the remaining Classes and Regular Interest)) to such Classes. Mortgage Deferred Interest with respect to The Woodlands Mall Loan will be allocated first, to The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component and then, to The Woodlands Mall Pooled Component. Only Certificate Deferred Interest relating to The Woodlands Mall Pooled Component will be allocated to the Sequential Pay Certificates and Certificate Deferred Interest on the Class WM Certificates will be equal to The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component's share of Mortgage Deferred Interest on The Woodlands Mall Loan, allocated pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Certificate Balance of each Class of Sequential Pay Certificates to which Certificate Deferred Interest has been so allocated on a Distribution Date will be increased by the amount of Certificate Deferred Interest. Any increase in the Certificate Balance of a Class of Sequential Pay Certificates (other than the Class A-3FL Certificates) or the Class A-3FL Regular Interest (and, correspondingly, the Class A-3FL Certificates) will result in an increase in the Notional Amount of the Class X-C Certificates, and to the extent there is an increase in the Certificate Balance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-PB, Class A-3, Class A-1A, Class A-M, Class
S-179
A-J, Class B, Class C and Class D Certificates and the Class A-3FL Regular Interest and subject to the limits described in the description of the Notional Amount of the Class X-P Certificates above, the Class X-P Certificates.
The REMIC Residual Certificates do not have Certificate Balances or Notional Amounts, but represent the right to receive on each Distribution Date any portion of the Available Distribution Amount and the Class WM Available Distribution Amount (each as defined below) for such date that remains after the required distributions have been made on all the REMIC Regular Certificates (other than the Class A-3FL Certificates) and the Class A-3FL Regular Interest. It is not anticipated that any such portion of the Available Distribution Amount will result in more than a de minimis distribution to the REMIC Residual Certificates.
The Class Z Certificates do not have Certificate Balances or Notional Amounts, but represent the right to receive on each Distribution Date any amounts of Additional Interest received in the related Collection Period with respect to each ARD Loan other than amounts allocable in respect of The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component.
For purposes of calculating the allocation of collections on The Woodlands Mall Loan between The Woodlands Mall Pooled Component, on the one hand, and The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component on the other, The Woodlands Mall Pooled Component and The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component will each be deemed to have a principal balance (a ‘‘Component Principal Balance’’) that is initially equal to $175,000,000 in the case of The Woodlands Mall Pooled Component, and $10,000,000 in the case of The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component, and each such component will accrue interest during each Interest Accrual Period on the amount of the Component Principal Balance thereof outstanding immediately prior to the related Distribution Date at a per annum rate equal to the Net Mortgage Rate in effect for The Woodlands Mall Loan as of the commencement of such Interest Accrual Period. The Component Principal Balance of The Woodlands Mall Pooled Component will be reduced on each Distribution Date by all distributions of principal made in respect thereof on such Distribution Date and the Component Principal Balance of The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component will be reduced on each Distribution Date by all distributions of principal made in respect thereof on such Distribution Date, in each case as described under ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE CERTIFICATES—Distributions’’ in this prospectus supplement.
Pass-Through Rates
The Pass-Through Rates applicable to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-PB, Class A-3, Class A-1A, Class A-M, Class A-J, Class B, Class C and Class D Certificates for each Distribution Date will equal the respective rate per annum set forth on the front cover of this prospectus supplement and/or the corresponding footnotes. Each of the Class X-C Components and the Class X-P Components will be deemed to have a Pass-Through Rate equal to the Pass-Through Rate of the related Class of Certificates or the Class A-3FL Regular Interest.
The Pass-Through Rate applicable to the Class X-C Certificates for the initial Distribution Date will equal approximately % per annum.
The Pass-Through Rate applicable to the Class X-C Certificates for each subsequent Distribution Date will equal the weighted average of the respective Class X-C Strip Rates, at which interest accrues from time to time on the respective components (the ‘‘Class X-C Components’’) of the Class X-C Certificates outstanding immediately prior to such Distribution Date (weighted on the basis of the outstanding balances of those Class X-C Components immediately prior to the Distribution Date). Each Class X-C Component will be comprised of all or a designated portion of the Certificate Balance of one of the Classes of Sequential Pay Certificates. In general, the Certificate Balance of each Class of Sequential Pay Certificates will constitute a separate Class X-C Component. However, if a portion, but not all, of the Certificate Balance of any particular Class of Sequential Pay Certificates is identified under ‘‘—Certificate Balances and Notional Amounts’’ above as being part of the Notional Amount of the Class X-P Certificates immediately prior to any Distribution Date, then the identified portion of the Certificate

Balance will also represent one or more separate Class X-C Components for purposes of calculating the Pass-Through Rate of the Class X-C Certificates, and the remaining portion of the Certificate Balance will represent one or more other separate Class X-C Components for purposes of calculating the Pass-Through Rate of the Class X-C Certificates. For each Distribution Date through and including the Distribution Date in June 2013, the ‘‘Class X-C Strip Rate’’ for each Class X-C Component will be calculated as follows:
(1) | if such Class X-C Component consists of the entire Certificate Balance of any Class of Sequential Pay Certificates, and if the Certificate Balance does not, in whole or in part, also constitute a Class X-P, Component immediately prior to the Distribution Date, then the applicable Class X-C Strip Rate will equal the excess, if any, of (a) the Weighted Average Net Mortgage Rate for the Distribution Date, over (b) the Pass-Through Rate in effect for the Distribution Date for the applicable Class of Sequential Pay Certificates; |
(2) | if such Class X-C Component consists of a designated portion (but not all) of the Certificate Balance of any Class of Sequential Pay Certificates, and if the designated portion of the Certificate Balance does not also constitute a Class X-P Component immediately prior to the Distribution Date, then the applicable Class X-C Strip Rate will equal the excess, if any, of (a) the Weighted Average Net Mortgage Rate for the Distribution Date, over (b) the Pass-Through Rate in effect for the Distribution Date for the applicable Class of Sequential Pay Certificates; |
(3) | if such Class X-C Component consists of a designated portion (but not all) of the Certificate Balance of any Class of Sequential Pay Certificates, and if the designated portion of the Certificate Balance also constitutes a Class X-P Component immediately prior to the Distribution Date, then the applicable Class X-C Strip Rate will equal the excess, if any, of (a) the Weighted Average Net Mortgage Rate for the Distribution Date, over (b) the sum of (i) the Class X-P Strip Rate for the applicable Class X-P Component, and (ii) the Pass-Through Rate in effect for the Distribution Date for the applicable Class of Sequential Pay Certificates; and |
(4) | if such Class X-C Component consists of the entire Certificate Balance of any Class of Sequential Pay Certificates, and if the Certificate Balance also constitutes, in its entirety, a Class X-P Component immediately prior to such Distribution Date, then the applicable Class X-C Strip Rate will equal the excess, if any, of (a) the Weighted Average Net Mortgage Rate for the Distribution Date, over (b) the sum of (i) the Class X-P Strip Rate for the applicable Class X-P Component, and (ii) the Pass-Through Rate in effect for the Distribution Date for the applicable Class of Sequential Pay Certificates. |
For each Distribution Date after the Distribution Date in June 2013, the entire Certificate Balance of each Class of Sequential Pay Certificates will constitute one or more separate Class X-C Components, and the applicable Class X-C Strip Rate with respect to each such Class X-C Component for each Distribution Date will equal the excess, if any, of (a) the Weighted Average Net Mortgage Rate for the Distribution Date, over (b) the Pass-Through Rate in effect for the Distribution Date for the related Class of Sequential Pay Certificates.
The Pass-Through Rate applicable to the Class X-P Certificates for the initial Distribution Date will equal approximately % per annum.
The Pass-Through Rate applicable to the Class X-P Certificates for each subsequent Distribution Date will equal the weighted average of the respective Class X-P Strip Rates, at which interest accrues from time to time on the respective components (the ‘‘Class X-P Components’’) of the Class X-P Certificates outstanding immediately prior to such Distribution Date (weighted on the basis of the balances of those Class X-P Components immediately prior to the Distribution Date). Each Class X-P Component will be comprised of all or a designated portion of the Certificate Balance of a specified Class of Sequential Pay Certificates. If all or a designated portion of the Certificate Balance of any Class of Sequential Pay Certificates is identified under ‘‘—Certificate Balances and Notional Amounts’’ above as being part of the Notional Amount of the Class X-P Certificates immediately prior to any Distribution Date, then that Certificate Balance (or designated portion thereof) will represent one or more separate
S-181
Class X-P Components for purposes of calculating the Pass-Through Rate of the Class X-P Certificates. For each Distribution Date through and including the Distribution Date in June 2013, the ‘‘Class X-P Strip Rate’’ for each Class X-P Component included in the Notional Amount of the Class X-P Certificates will equal (x) the lesser of (1) the Weighted Average Net Mortgage Rate for such Distribution Date, and (2) the reference rate specified on Annex G to this prospectus supplement for such Distribution Date minus 0.03% per annum, minus (y) the Pass-Through Rate for such Component (but in no event will any Class X-P Strip Rate be less than zero).
After the Distribution Date in June 2013, the Class X-P Certificates will cease to accrue interest and will have a 0% Pass-Through Rate.
In the case of each Class of REMIC Regular Certificates (other than the Class A-3FL Certificates) and the Class A-3FL Regular Interest, interest at the applicable Pass-Through Rate will be payable monthly on each Distribution Date and will accrue during each Interest Accrual Period on the Certificate Balance (or, in the case of the Class X Certificates, the respective Notional Amount) of such Class of Certificates or the Class A-3FL Regular Interest immediately following the Distribution Date in such Interest Accrual Period (after giving effect to all distributions of principal made on such Distribution Date). Interest on each Class of REMIC Regular Certificates (other than the Class A-3FL Certificates) and the Class A-3FL Regular Interest will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The Class A-3FL Certificates will accrue interest on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days in the related Interest Accrual Period; provided that if the Pass-Through Rate on the Class A-3FL Certificates converts to a fixed rate, the Class A-3FL Certificates will accrue interest on the same basis as the Class A-3FL Regular Interest. With respect to any Class of REMIC Regular Certificates (other than the Class A-3FL Certificates) and the Class A-3FL Regular Interest and any Distribution Date, the ‘‘Interest Accrual Period’’ will be the preceding calendar month, which will be deemed to consist of 30 days; provided, however, for purposes of the initial Interest Accrual Period, such period commences on the Cut-Off Date and continues through the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs.
The ‘‘Interest Accrual Period’’ with respect to the Class A-3FL Certificates will be the period from and including the Distribution Date in the month preceding the month in which the related Distribution Date occurs (or, in the case of the first Distribution Date, the Closing Date) to, but excluding, the related Distribution Date, calculated on the basis of the actual number of days in such Interest Accrual Period and assuming each year has 360 days; provided that if the Pass-Through Rate on the Class A-3FL Certificates converts to a fixed rate, such accrual period shall be on the same basis as the Class A-3FL Regular Interest.
The Class Z Certificates will not have a Pass-Through Rate or be entitled to distributions in respect of interest other than Additional Interest with respect to the Mortgage Loans.
The ‘‘Weighted Average Net Mortgage Rate’’ for each Distribution Date is the weighted average of the Net Mortgage Rates for the Mortgage Loans (excluding, with respect to The Woodlands Mall Loan, the Net Mortgage Rate and Component Principal Balance of The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component) as of the commencement of the related Collection Period, weighted on the basis of their respective Stated Principal Balances (excluding, with respect to The Woodlands Mall Loan, the Component Principal Balance of The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component) immediately following the preceding Distribution Date; provided that, for the purpose of determining the Weighted Average Net Mortgage Rate only, if the Mortgage Rate for any Mortgage Loan has been modified in connection with a bankruptcy or similar proceeding involving the related borrower or a modification, waiver or amendment granted or agreed to by the Special Servicer, the Weighted Average Net Mortgage Rate for such Mortgage Loan will be calculated without regard to such event.
The ‘‘Net Mortgage Rate’’ for each Mortgage Loan and The Woodlands Mall Pooled Component and The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component will generally equal (x) the Mortgage Rate in effect for such Mortgage Loan (without regard to any increase in the interest rate of an ARD Loan as a result of not repaying the outstanding principal amount of such ARD Loan on or prior to the related Anticipated Repayment Date) or, with respect to the components related to The Woodlands Mall Loan, The Woodlands Mall Loan as of the Cut-Off Date, minus (y) the applicable Administrative Cost Rate for such
S-182
Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, because no Mortgage Loan accrues interest on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months (which is the basis on which interest accrues in respect of the REMIC Regular Certificates (other than the Class A-3FL Certificates) and the Class A-3FL Regular Interest, then, solely for purposes of calculating the Weighted Average Net Mortgage Rate for each Distribution Date, the Mortgage Rate of each Mortgage Loan (other than The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component) in effect during any calendar month will be deemed to be the annualized rate at which interest would have to accrue in respect of such loan on a 30/360 basis in order to derive the aggregate amount of interest (other than default interest) actually accrued in respect of such loan during such calendar month; provided, however, that (other than The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component) the Mortgage Rate in effect during (a) December of each year that does not immediately precede a leap year, and January of each year will be the per annum rate stated in the related Mortgage Note unless the final Distribution Date occurs in January or February immediately following such December or January and (b) in February of each year (January if the final Distribution Date occurs in February) will be determined inclusive of the one day of interest retained from the immediately preceding January and, if applicable, December.
The ‘‘Stated Principal Balance’’ of each Mortgage Loan outstanding at any time will generally be an amount equal to the principal balance thereof as of the Cut-Off Date, (a) reduced on each Distribution Date (to not less than zero) by (i) the portion of the Principal Distribution Amount for that date which is attributable to such Mortgage Loan and (ii) the principal portion of any Realized Loss incurred in respect of such Mortgage Loan during the related Collection Period and (b) increased on each Distribution Date by any Mortgage Deferred Interest added to the principal balance of such Mortgage Loan on such Distribution Date. The Stated Principal Balance of a Mortgage Loan may also be reduced in connection with any forced reduction of the actual unpaid principal balance thereof imposed by a court presiding over a bankruptcy proceeding in which the related borrower is a debtor. In addition, to the extent that principal from general collections is used to reimburse nonrecoverable Advances or Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts, and such amount has not been included as part of the Principal Distribution Amount, such amount shall not reduce the Stated Principal Balance (other than for purposes of computing the Weighted Average Net Mortgage Rate). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Mortgage Loan is paid in full, liquidated or otherwise removed from the Trust Fund, commencing as of the first Distribution Date following the Collection Period during which such event occurred, the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan will be zero. With respect to any Companion Loan on any date of determination, the Stated Principal Balance shall equal the unpaid principal balance of such Companion Loan.
The ‘‘Collection Period’’ for each Distribution Date is the period that begins on the 12th day in the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs (or the day after the applicable Cut-Off Date in the case of the first Collection Period) and ends on and includes the 11th day in the same month as such Distribution Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the last day of a Collection Period is not a business day, any payments received with respect to the Mortgage Loans relating to such Collection Period on the business day immediately following such day will be deemed to have been received during such Collection Period and not during any other Collection Period, and in the event that the payment date (after giving effect to any grace period) related to any Distribution Date occurs after the related Collection Period, any amounts received on that payment date (after giving effect to any grace period) will be deemed to have been received during the related Collection Period and not during any other Collection Period.
The ‘‘Determination Date’’ will be, for any Distribution Date, the 11th day of each month, or if such 11th day is not a business day, the next succeeding business day, commencing in July 2006.
Distributions
General. Except as described below with respect to the Class Z Certificates and the Class WM Certificates, distributions on the Certificates are made by the Trustee, to the extent of the Available Distribution Amount, on the fourth business day following the related Determination Date (each, a ‘‘Distribution Date’’). Except as described below, all such distributions will be made to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered (the ‘‘Certificateholders’’) at the close of business on the last
S-183
business day of the month preceding the month in which the related Distribution Date occurs and shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds, if such Certificateholder shall have provided wiring instructions no less than five business days prior to such record date, or otherwise by check mailed to the address of such Certificateholder as it appears in the Certificate register. The final distribution on any 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 only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the location that will be specified in a notice of the pendency of such final distribution. All distributions made with respect to a Class of Certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates of such Class based on their respective percentage interests in such Class. The first Distribution Date on which investors in the Offered Certificates may receive distributions will be the Distribution Date occurring in July 2006.
The amount allocated to the Class A-3FL Regular Interest on each Distribution Date will be deposited into the Floating Rate Account, less the portion of such amount, if any, due to the swap counterparty with respect to such Distribution Date. In addition, amounts payable to the Trust Fund by the swap counterparty with respect to the Distribution Date will be deposited into the Floating Rate Account.
The Available Distribution Amount. The aggregate amount available for distributions of interest and principal to Certificateholders (other than the Class A-3FL, Class R-I, Class R-II and Class Z Certificateholders) and the Class A-3FL Regular Interest (and, therefore, to the Class A-3FL certificateholders) on each related Distribution Date (the ‘‘Available Distribution Amount’’) will, in general, equal the sum of the following amounts:
(a) the total amount of all cash received on or in respect of the Mortgage Loans and any REO Properties (with respect to The Woodlands Mall Loan, to the extent allocable to The Woodlands Mall Pooled Component) by the Master Servicer (without regard to any payments made to or received by the swap counterparty) as of the close of business on the last day of the related Collection Period and not previously distributed with respect to the Certificates or applied for any other permitted purpose, exclusive of any portion thereof that represents one or more of the following:
(i) any Periodic Payments collected but due on a Due Date after the related Collection Period;
(ii) any Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges;
(iii) all amounts in the Certificate Account that are payable or reimbursable to any person other than the Certificateholders, including any Servicing Fees and Trustee Fees on the Mortgage Loans or Companion Loans;
(iv) any amounts deposited in the Certificate Account in error;
(v) any Additional Interest on the ARD Loans (which is separately distributed to the Class Z Certificates (or the Class WM Certificates to the extent allocable to The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component));
(vi) if such Distribution Date occurs in February of any year or during January of any year that is not a leap year unless the final Distribution Date occurs in January or February immediately following such December or January, the Interest Reserve Amounts with respect to the Mortgage Loans to be deposited in the Interest Reserve Account and held for future distribution; and
(vii) any amounts distributable to the Class WM Certificates in respect of The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component as described below under ‘‘—Application of Class WM Available Distribution Amount’’.
(b) all P&I Advances made by the Master Servicer or the Trustee with respect to such Distribution Date (other than, in the case of the Master Servicer, any P&I Advances allocable to a Pari Passu Companion Loan or The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component);
(c) any Compensating Interest Payment (with respect to The Woodlands Mall Loan, to the extent allocable to The Woodlands Mall Pooled Component) made by the Master Servicer to cover
S-184
the aggregate of any Prepayment Interest Shortfalls experienced during the related Collection Period (other than any Compensating Interest Payment made on any Companion Loan); and
(d) if such Distribution Date occurs during March of any year or if such Distribution Date is the final Distribution Date and occurs in February, the aggregate of the Interest Reserve Amounts (with respect to The Woodlands Mall Loan, to the extent allocable to The Woodlands Mall Pooled Component) then on deposit in the Interest Reserve Account in respect of each Mortgage Loan.
The aggregate amount available for distributions to the holders of the Class A-3FL Certificates on each Distribution Date (the ‘‘Class A-3FL Available Funds’’) will equal the sum of (i) the total amount of all principal and/or interest distributions on or in respect of the Class A-3FL Regular Interest with respect to such Distribution Date and (ii) the amount, if any, received from the swap counterparty pursuant to a swap contract, less (iii) all amounts required to be paid to the swap counterparty pursuant to a swap contract for the related Distribution Date.
See ‘‘SERVICING OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS—Compensation and Payment of Expenses’’ and ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE CERTIFICATES—P&I Advances’’ in this prospectus supplement and ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENTS—Certificate Account’’ in the accompanying prospectus.
Any Prepayment Premiums or Yield Maintenance Charges actually collected will be distributed separately from the Available Distribution Amount. See ‘‘—Allocation of Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges’’ below.
All amounts received by the Trust Fund with respect to any Co-Lender Loan will be applied to amounts due and owing under the related loan (including for principal and accrued and unpaid interest) in accordance with the provisions of the related Mortgage Loan documents, the related Intercreditor Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The Class WM Available Distribution Amount. The aggregate amount available for distributions of interest and principal to the holders of the Class WM Certificates on each Distribution Date (the ‘‘Class WM Available Distribution Amount‘‘) will, in general, equal the sum of the following amounts:
(a) the total amount of all cash received in respect of The Woodlands Mall Loan and any REO Property related to The Woodlands Mall Loan to the extent allocable to The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component in accordance with the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and not previously distributed with respect to the Class WM Certificates or applied for any other permitted purpose, exclusive of any portion thereof that represents one or more of the following:
(i) any Periodic Payments on The Woodlands Mall Loan allocable to The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component collected but due on a Due Date after the related Collection Period;
(ii) all amounts in the Certificate Account that are payable or reimbursable to any person other than the holders of the Class WM Certificates, including any Servicing Fees and Trustee Fees on The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component;
(iii) Yield Maintenance Charges allocable to The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component; and
(iv) any amounts deposited in the Certificate Account in error.
(b) all P&I Advances of interest made by the Master Servicer or the Trustee with respect to such Distribution Date made on The Woodlands Mall Loan and allocable to The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component; and
(c) any Compensating Interest Payment made by the Master Servicer to cover the aggregate of any Prepayment Interest Shortfalls experienced during the related Collection Period made on The Woodlands Mall Loan and allocable to The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component.
Interest Reserve Account. The Trustee will establish and maintain an ‘‘Interest Reserve Account’’ in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the holders of the Certificates. With respect to each Distribution Date occurring in February and each Distribution Date occurring in any January which occurs in a year
S-185
that is not a leap year unless the final Distribution Date occurs in January or February immediately following such December or January, there will be withdrawn from the Certificate Account and deposited to the Interest Reserve Account in respect of each Mortgage Loan (with respect to The Woodlands Mall Loan, excluding The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component) (the ‘‘Interest Reserve Loans’’) which accrues interest on an Actual/360 basis an amount equal to one day’s interest at the related Mortgage Rate on its Stated Principal Balance, as of the Due Date in the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, to the extent a Periodic Payment or P&I Advance is timely made in respect thereof for such Due Date (all amounts so deposited in any consecutive January (if applicable) and February in respect of each Interest Reserve Loan, the ‘‘Interest Reserve Amount’’). With respect to each Distribution Date occurring in March, or in February if the final Distribution Date occurs in February, there will be withdrawn from the Interest Reserve Account the amounts deposited from the immediately preceding February and, if applicable, January, and such withdrawn amount is to be included as part of the Available Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date.
Certificate Account. The Master Servicer will establish and will maintain a ‘‘Certificate Account’’ in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders and will maintain the Certificate Account as an eligible account pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Funds on deposit in the Certificate Account to the extent of the Available Distribution Amount will be used to make distributions on the Certificates (other than the Class A-3FL Certificates) and the Class A-3FL Regular Interest. See ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE TRUST FUNDS—Certificate Accounts’’ in the prospectus.
Distribution Account. The Trustee will establish and will maintain a ‘‘Distribution Account’’ in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders and will maintain the Distribution Account as an eligible account pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Funds on deposit in the Distribution Account, to the extent of the Available Distribution Amount (and, with respect to the Class WM Certificates, to the extent of the Class WM Available Distribution Amount) will be used to make distributions on the Certificates (other than the Class A-3FL Certificates) and the Class A-3FL Regular Interest.
Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account. The Trustee will establish and will maintain a ‘‘Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account’’ in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders. To the extent that gains realized on sales of Mortgaged Properties, if any, are not used to offset Realized Losses previously allocated to the Certificates, such gains will be held and applied to offset future Realized Losses, if any.
Additional Interest Account. The Trustee will establish and will maintain an ‘‘Additional Interest Account’’ in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the holders of the Class Z Certificates. Prior to the applicable Distribution Date, an amount equal to the Additional Interest received in respect of the Mortgage Loans during the related Collection Period will be deposited into the Additional Interest Account.
Floating Rate Account. On or before the Closing Date, the Trustee will establish and maintain a ‘‘Floating Rate Account’’ in trust for the benefit of the holders of the Class A-3FL Certificates, as an eligible account pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Floating Rate Account may be a subaccount of the Distribution Account. Promptly upon receipt of any payment or other receipt in respect of the Class A-3FL Regular Interest or the swap contract, the Trustee will deposit the same into the Floating Rate Account.
Application of the Available Distribution Amount. On each Distribution Date, the Trustee will (except as otherwise described under ‘‘—Termination’’ below) apply amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account (other than amounts payable on such date in respect of the Class WM Certificates), to the extent of the Available Distribution Amount, in the following order of priority:
(1) | concurrently, to distributions of interest (i) from the portion of the Available Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date attributable to Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 1, to the holders of the Class A-1 Certificates, Class A-2 Certificates, Class A-PB Certificates and Class A-3 Certificates and the Class A-3FL Regular Interest, pro rata, in accordance with the amounts of Distributable Certificate Interest in respect of such Classes of Certificates and the Regular Interest on such Distribution Date, in an amount equal to all Distributable Certificate Interest |
S-186
in respect of such Classes of Certificates and the Regular Interest for such Distribution Date and, to the extent not previously paid, for all prior Distribution Dates, (ii) from the portion of the Available Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date attributable to Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 2, to the holders of the Class A-1A Certificates in an amount equal to all Distributable Certificate Interest in respect of such Class of Certificates on such Distribution Date and, to the extent not previously paid, for all prior Distribution Dates, and (iii) from the entire Available Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date relating to the entire Mortgage Pool, to the holders of the Class X-C Certificates and the Class X-P Certificates, pro rata, in accordance with the amounts of Distributable Certificate Interest in respect of such Classes of Certificates on such Distribution Date, in an amount equal to all Distributable Certificate Interest in respect of such Classes of Certificates and the Regular Interest for such Distribution Date and, to the extent not previously paid, for all prior Distribution Dates; provided, however, on any Distribution Date where the Available Distribution Amount (or applicable portion thereof) is not sufficient to make distributions in full to the related Classes of Certificates and the Regular Interest as described above, the Available Distribution Amount will be allocated among the above Classes of Certificates and the Regular Interest without regard to Loan Group, pro rata, in accordance with the respective amounts of Distributable Certificate Interest in respect of such Classes of Certificates and the Regular Interest on such Distribution Date, in an amount equal to all Distributable Certificate Interest in respect of each such Class of Certificates and the Regular Interest for such Distribution Date and, to the extent not previously paid, for all prior Distribution Dates; |
(2) | to distributions of principal to the holders of the Class A-PB Certificates, in an amount equal to the Loan Group 1 Principal Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date and, after the Class A-1A Certificates have been retired, the Loan Group 2 Principal Distribution Amount remaining after payments to the Class A-1A Certificates have been made on such Distribution Date, until the Certificate Balance of the Class A-PB Certificates is reduced to the Class A-PB Planned Principal Balance set forth on Annex F to this prospectus supplement; |
(3) | after distributions of principal have been made from the Loan Group 1 Principal Distribution Amount to the Class A-PB Certificates as set forth in clause (2) above, to distributions of principal to the holders of the Class A-1 Certificates in an amount (not to exceed the then outstanding Certificate Balance of the Class A-1 Certificates) equal to the remaining Loan Group 1 Principal Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date and, after the Class A-1A Certificates have been retired, the Loan Group 2 Principal Distribution Amount remaining after payments to the Class A-1A Certificates have been made on such Distribution Date, in each case, less any portion thereof distributed in respect of the Class A-PB Certificates on such Distribution Date; |
(4) | after distributions of principal have been made from the Loan Group 1 Principal Distribution Amount to the Class A-PB Certificates and the Class A-1 Certificates as set forth in clauses (2) and (3) above, to distributions of principal to the Class A-2 Certificates in an amount (not to exceed the then outstanding Certificate Balance of the Class A-2 Certificates) equal to the remaining Loan Group 1 Principal Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date and, after the Class A-1A Certificates have been retired, the Loan Group 2 Principal Distribution Amount remaining after payments to the Class A-1A Certificates have been made on such Distribution Date, in each case, less any portion thereof distributed in respect of the Class A-PB Certificates and the Class A-1 Certificates on such Distribution Date; |
(5) | after distributions of principal have been made from the Loan Group 1 Principal Distribution Amount to the Class A-PB Certificates, Class A-1 Certificates and Class A-2 Certificates as set forth in clauses (2), (3) and (4) above, to distributions of principal, pro rata, to the holders of the Class A-3 Certificates and the Class A-3FL Regular Interest, in an amount (not to exceed the then outstanding Certificate Balance of the Class A-3 Certificates and the Class A-3FL Regular Interest) equal to the remaining Loan Group 1 Principal Distribution Amount for such |
S-187
Distribution Date and, after the Class A-1A Certificates have been retired, the Loan Group 2 Principal Distribution Amount remaining after payments to the Class A-1A Certificates have been made on such Distribution Date, in each case, less any portion thereof distributed in respect of the Class A-PB Certificates, the Class A-1 Certificates and the Class A-2 Certificates on such Distribution Date; |
(6) | after distributions of principal have been made from the Loan Group 1 Principal Distribution Amount to the Class A-PB Certificates, Class A-1 Certificates, Class A-2 Certificates and Class A-3 Certificates and the Class A-3FL Regular Interest as set forth in clauses (2), (3), (4) and (5) above, to distributions of principal to the holders of the Class A-PB Certificates in an amount (not to exceed the then outstanding Certificate Balance of the Class A-PB Certificates) equal to the remaining Loan Group 1 Principal Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date and, after the Class A-1A Certificates have been retired, the Loan Group 2 Principal Distribution Amount remaining after payments to the Class A-1A Certificates have been made on such Distribution Date, in each case, less any portion thereof distributed in respect of the Class A-PB Certificates, the Class A-1 Certificates, Class A-2 Certificates and Class A-3 Certificates and the Class A-3FL Regular Interest on such Distribution Date; |
(7) | to distributions of principal to the holders of the Class A-1A Certificates in an amount (not to exceed the then outstanding Certificate Balance of the Class A-1A Certificates) equal to the Loan Group 2 Principal Distribution Amount for such Distribution and, after the Class A-PB Certificates, the Class A-1 Certificates, the Class A-2 Certificates and the Class A-3 Certificates and the Class A-3FL Regular Interest have been retired, the Loan Group 1 Principal Distribution Amount remaining after payments to the Class A-PB Certificates, Class A-1 Certificates, the Class A-2 Certificates and Class A-3 Certificates and the Class A-3FL Regular Interest have been made on such Distribution Date; |

Distributions on the Class A-3FL Certificates. On each Distribution Date, for so long as the Certificate Balance of the Class A-3FL Certificates has not been reduced to zero, the Trustee is required to apply amounts on deposit in the Floating Rate Account to the extent of the Class A-3FL Available Funds, in the following order of priority:
First, to the holders of the Class A-3FL Certificates, in respect of interest, up to an amount equal to the Class A-3FL Interest Distribution Amount;
Second, to the holders of the Class A-3FL Certificates, in respect of principal, up to an amount equal to the Class A-3FL Principal Distribution Amount, until the Certificate Balance of such Class is reduced to zero;

S-192
Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund Expenses to the Class A-3FL Regular Interest) but not previously reimbursed, have been reimbursed in full;
Fourth, to pay any termination payments, if any, to the swap counterparty with respect to the Class A-3FL Regular Interest; and
Fifth, any remaining amount to the holders of the Class A-3FL Certificates.
The ‘‘Class A-3FL Interest Distribution Amount’’ means, with respect to any Distribution Date, an amount equal to the sum of (i) amounts in respect of interest received on the Class A-3FL Regular Interest for such Distribution Date and (ii) the amount required to be paid to the Trust Fund by the swap counterparty under the related swap contract, less (iii) the regularly scheduled interest payment required to be paid to the swap counterparty by the Trust Fund under the related swap contract. The ‘‘Class A-3FL Principal Distribution Amount’’ means, with respect to any Distribution Date, the amount of principal allocated to the Class A-3FL Regular Interest as described under ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE CERTIFICATES—Distributions’’ in this prospectus supplement.
Application of Class WM Available Distribution Amount. The Class WM Certificates will only be entitled to distributions from amounts collected on The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component. On each Distribution Date, the Trustee will apply amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account in the following order of priority to the extent of the Class WM Available Distribution Amount:
(i) to distributions of interest to the holders of the Class WM Certificates in accordance with the amount of Distributable Certificate Interest in respect of such Class, in an amount equal to all Distributable Certificate Interest allocable to the Class WM Certificates for such Distribution Date and, to the extent not previously paid, for all prior Distribution Dates;
(ii) to distributions of principal to the holders of the Class WM Certificates in an amount equal to the Class WM Principal Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date;
(iii) to distributions to the holders of the Class WM Certificates to reimburse such holders for all Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund Expenses, if any, previously allocated to such Class of Certificates and for which no reimbursement has previously been received; and
(iv) to distributions to the holders of the REMIC I Certificates in an amount equal to the balance, if any, of the Class WM Available Distribution Amount remaining after the distributions to be made on such Distribution Date as described in clauses (i) through (iii) above.
Amounts payable on any Distribution Date which are part of the Class WM Available Distribution Amount will not be available to make distributions on other Certificates (other than the REMIC Residual Certificates).
The Class WM Certificates and The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component. The Class WM Certificates will only be entitled to distributions from amounts collected on The Woodlands Mall Loan allocable to The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component. Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a monetary event of default, all collections of principal and interest in respect of The Woodlands Mall Loan received during any Collection Period (net of any portion allocable to reimburse any outstanding P&I Advances, or to pay any Servicing Fees, Trustee Fees, Workout Fees, Liquidation Fees and interest on Advances and any other Additional Trust Fund Expenses, in respect of such Mortgage Loan) will be applied on the related Distribution Date for the purposes and in the following order of priority:
(i) to the Certificateholders (other than the Class WM Certificates) as part of the Available Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date, up to an amount equal to accrued and unpaid interest in respect of The Woodlands Mall Pooled Component through the end of the related Interest Accrual Period;
(ii) to the Certificateholders (other than the Class WM Certificates) as part of the Available Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date, up to an amount equal to its pro rata share of any principal payments until the Component Principal Balance of The Woodlands Mall Pooled Component is reduced to zero;
(iii) to the Certificateholders (other than the Class WM Certificates) as part of the Available Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date, to reimburse The Woodlands Mall Pooled
S-193
Component for all Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund Expenses, if any, previously allocated to The Woodlands Mall Pooled Component and for which no reimbursement has previously been received;
(iv) to the holders of the Class WM Certificates, as part of the Class WM Available Distribution Amount, up to an amount equal to all accrued and unpaid interest in respect of The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component through the end of the related Interest Accrual Period;
(v) to the holders of the Class WM Certificates, as part of the Class WM Distribution Available Amount, up to its pro rata share of any principal payments until the Component Principal Balance of The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component is reduced to zero;
(vi) to the holders of the Class WM Certificates, as part of the Class WM Available Distribution Amount to reimburse the Class WM Certificates for all Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund Expenses, if any, previously allocated to The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component and for which no reimbursement has been previously received;
(vii) to the Certificateholders (other than the Class WM Certificates) for allocation as described below in ‘‘—Allocation of Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges’’, an amount equal to a pro rata share, based on the outstanding Component Principal Balance, of Yield Maintenance Charges received in respect of The Woodlands Mall Loan and allocable to The Woodlands Mall Pooled Component;
(viii) to the holders of the Class WM Certificates, for allocation as described below in ‘‘—Allocation of Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges’’, an amount equal to a pro rata share, based on the outstanding Component Principal Balance, of Yield Maintenance Charges received in respect of The Woodlands Mall Loan and allocable to The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component; and
(ix) to the Trust Fund, an amount equal to any Penalty Interest and other amounts remaining that are received in respect of The Woodlands Mall Loan.
The amounts to be applied pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above will be included as part of the Available Distribution Amount for the related Distribution Date and will be applied as described above to make distributions on the Certificates (other than the Class WM Certificates).
Under certain circumstances, the holders of the Certificates will be entitled to certain Advances to the extent described in ‘‘—P&I Advances’’ below.
Amounts payable on any Distribution Date which are part of the Class WM Available Distribution Amount will not be available to make distributions on the other Classes of Certificates.
Upon the occurrence and continuance of a monetary event of default in respect of The Woodlands Mall Loan all collections of principal and interest in respect of The Woodlands Mall Loan received during any Collection Period (net of any portion allocated to reimburse any outstanding P&I Advances, or to pay any Servicing Fees, Trustee Fees, Workout Fees, Liquidation Fees, interest on Advances and other Additional Trust Fund Expenses, in respect of such Mortgage Loan) will be applied on the related Distribution Date for the purposes and in the following order of priority:
(i) to the Certificateholders (other than the Class WM Certificates) as part of the Available Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date, up to an amount equal to accrued and unpaid interest in respect of The Woodlands Mall Pooled Component through the end of the related Interest Accrual Period;
(ii) to the Certificateholders (other than the Class WM Certificates) as part of the Available Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date, until the Component Principal Balance of The Woodlands Mall Pooled Component is reduced to zero;
(iii) to the Certificateholders (other than the Class WM Certificates) as part of the Available Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date, to reimburse The Woodlands Mall Pooled Component for all Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund Expenses, if any, previously allocated to The Woodlands Mall Pooled Component and for which no reimbursement has previously been received;
S-194
(iv) to the holders of the Class WM Certificates, as part of the Class WM Available Distribution Amount, up to an amount equal to all accrued and unpaid interest in respect of The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component through the end of the related Interest Accrual Period;
(v) to the holders of the Class WM Certificates, as part of the Class WM Available Distribution Amount, until the Component Principal Balance of The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component is reduced to zero;
(vi) to the holders of the Class WM Certificates, as part of the Class WM Available Distribution Amount, to reimburse the Class WM Certificates for all Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund Expenses, if any, previously allocated to The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component and for which no reimbursement has been previously received;
(vii) to the Certificateholders (other than the Class WM Certificates) for allocation as described below in ‘‘—Allocation of Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges’’, an amount equal to a pro rata share, based on the outstanding Component Principal Balance, of Yield Maintenance Charges received in respect of The Woodlands Mall Loan and allocable to The Woodlands Mall Pooled Component;
(viii) to the holders of the Class WM Certificates, for allocation as described below in ‘‘—Allocation of Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges’’, an amount equal to a pro rata share, based on the outstanding Component Principal Balance, of Yield Maintenance Charges received in respect of The Woodlands Mall Loan and allocable to The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component; and
(ix) to the Trust Fund, an amount equal to any Penalty Interest and other amounts remaining that are received in respect of The Woodlands Mall Loan.
The amounts to be applied pursuant to clause (i), (ii) and (iii) above will be included as part of the Available Distribution Amount for the subject Distribution Date and will be applied as described above to make distributions on the Certificates (other than the Class WM Certificates).
Under certain circumstances, the holders of the Certificates will be entitled to certain Advances to the extent described in ‘‘—P&I Advances’’ below.
Amounts payable on any Distribution Date which are part of the Class WM Available Distribution Amount will not be available to make distributions on the other classes of Regular Certificates.
Distributable Certificate Interest. The ‘‘Distributable Certificate Interest’’ equals with respect to each Class of Sequential Pay Certificates (other than the Class A-3FL Certificates) and the Class A-3FL Regular Interest for each Distribution Date, the Accrued Certificate Interest in respect of such Class of Certificates (other than the Class A-3FL Certificates) and the Class A-3FL Regular Interest for such Distribution Date, reduced (other than in the case of the Class X Certificates) (to not less than zero) by (i) such Class’s allocable share (calculated as described below) of the aggregate of any Prepayment Interest Shortfalls resulting from principal prepayments made on the Mortgage Loans during the related Collection Period that are not covered by the Master Servicer’s Compensating Interest Payment for such Distribution Date (the aggregate of such Prepayment Interest Shortfalls that are not so covered, as to such Distribution Date, the ‘‘Net Aggregate Prepayment Interest Shortfall’’) and (ii) any Certificate Deferred Interest allocated to such Class of REMIC Regular Certificates (other than the Class A-3FL Certificates) or the Class A-3FL Regular Interest.
The ‘‘Accrued Certificate Interest’’ in respect of each Class of Sequential Pay Certificates (other than the Class A-3FL Certificates) and the Class A-3FL Regular Interest for each Distribution Date will equal one month’s interest at the Pass-Through Rate applicable to such Class of Certificates (other than the Class A-3FL Certificates) and the Class A-3FL Regular Interest for such Distribution Date accrued for the related Interest Accrual Period on the related Certificate Balance outstanding immediately prior to such Distribution Date. The ‘‘Accrued Certificate Interest’’ in respect of the Class X-C and Class X-P Certificates for any Distribution Date will equal the amount of one month’s interest at the related Pass-Through Rate on the Notional Amount of the Class X-C or Class X-P Certificates, as the case may be, outstanding immediately prior to such Distribution Date. Accrued Certificate Interest will be calculated on a 30/360 basis.
S-195
The portion of the Net Aggregate Prepayment Interest Shortfall for any Distribution Date that is allocable to each Class of REMIC Regular Certificates (other than the Class A-3FL Certificates) and the Class A-3FL Regular Interest will equal the product of (a) such Net Aggregate Prepayment Interest Shortfall, multiplied by (b) a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the Accrued Certificate Interest in respect of such Class of Certificates (other than the Class A-3FL Certificates) and the Class A-3FL Regular Interest for such Distribution Date, and the denominator of which is equal to the aggregate Accrued Certificate Interest in respect of all Classes of REMIC Regular Certificates (other than the Class A-3FL Certificates) and the Class A-3FL Regular Interest for such Distribution Date.
Any such Prepayment Interest Shortfalls allocated to the Certificates or to the Class A-3FL Regular Interest, to the extent not covered by the Master Servicer’s related Compensating Interest Payment for such Distribution Date, will reduce the Distributable Certificate Interest as described above.
With respect to each Co-Lender Loan, Prepayment Interest Shortfalls will be allocated, first, to the related Subordinate Companion Loan, if any, and, second, to the related Mortgage Loan (and any related Pari Passu Companion Loan). The portion of such Prepayment Interest Shortfall allocated to the related Mortgage Loan, net of amounts payable, if any, by the Master Servicer, will be included in the Net Aggregate Prepayment Interest Shortfall. This allocation will cause a Prepayment Interest Shortfall with respect to the Prime Outlets Pool II Whole Loan, which shall be allocated, pro rata, among the Prime Outlets Pool II Pari Passu Companion Loan and the Prime Outlets Pool II Loan, with any Prepayment Interest Shortfall allocated to the Prime Outlets Pool II Loan, net of amounts payable by the Master Servicer, to be included in the Net Aggregate Prepayment Interest Shortfall.
With respect to The Woodlands Mall Loan, the portion of such Prepayment Interest Shortfall allocated to The Woodlands Mall Loan will be allocated between The Woodlands Mall Pooled Component and The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component pro rata, based on the amount of interest each such component is otherwise entitled to receive on the related Distribution Date (without giving effect to any capitalization of interest). Compensating Interest Payments made by the Master Servicer with respect to The Woodlands Mall Loan for any Distribution Date will be used first, to cover the Prepayment Interest Shortfalls incurred during the related Collection Period allocated to The Woodlands Mall Pooled Component, and second, to cover any Prepayment Interest Shortfalls incurred during the related Collection Period allocated to The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component. Any such Prepayment Interest Shortfalls allocated to The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component, to the extent not covered by the Master Servicer’s Compensating Interest Payment for such Distribution Date, will reduce The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component’s interest entitlement for the related Distribution Date (without giving effect to any capitalization of interest). Any such Prepayment Interest Shortfalls allocated to The Woodlands Mall Pooled Component, to the extent not covered by the Master Servicer’s Compensating Interest Payment for such Distribution Date, will reduce its Distributable Certificate Interest as described above.
Principal Distribution Amount. So long as the Class A-3 Certificates and Class A-3FL Regular Interest or Class A-PB Certificates (if still outstanding after the Class A-3 Certificate Balance and Class A-3FL Regular Interest has been reduced to zero) and the Class A-1A Certificates remain outstanding, the Principal Distribution Amount for each Distribution Date will be calculated on a Loan Group by Loan Group basis (with respect to Loan Group 1, the ‘‘Loan Group 1 Principal Distribution Amount’’ and with respect to Loan Group 2, the ‘‘Loan Group 2 Principal Distribution Amount’’). On each Distribution Date after the Certificate Balances of the Class A-3 Certificates, Class A-3FL Regular Interest or Class A-PB Certificates (if still outstanding after the Class A-3 Certificate Balance and Class A-3FL Regular Interest has been reduced to zero) or the Class A-1A Certificates have been reduced to zero, a single Principal Distribution Amount will be calculated in the aggregate for both Loan Groups. The ‘‘Principal Distribution Amount’’ for each Distribution Date with respect to a Loan Group or the Mortgage Pool will generally equal the aggregate of the following (without duplication) to the extent paid by the related borrower during the related Collection Period or advanced by the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, but, in each case, exclusive of amounts allocable to principal of The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component:
(a) the aggregate of the principal portions of all Scheduled Payments (other than Balloon Payments) and of any Assumed Scheduled Payments due or deemed due, on or in respect of the
S-196
Mortgage Loans (with respect to the Woodlands Mall Loan, to the extent allocable to the Woodlands Mall Pooled Component) in such Loan Group or the Mortgage Pool, as applicable, for their respective Due Dates occurring during the related Collection Period, to the extent not previously paid by the related borrower or advanced by the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, prior to such Collection Period;
(b) the aggregate of all principal prepayments received on the Mortgage Loans in such Loan Group or the Mortgage Pool, as applicable, during the related Collection Period;
(c) with respect to any Mortgage Loan (with respect to the Woodlands Mall Loan, to the extent allocable to The Woodlands Mall Pooled Component) in such Loan Group or the Mortgage Pool, as applicable, as to which the related stated maturity date occurred during or prior to the related Collection Period, any payment of principal made by or on behalf of the related borrower during the related Collection Period (including any Balloon Payment), net of any portion of such payment that represents a recovery of the principal portion of any Scheduled Payment (other than a Balloon Payment) due, or the principal portion of any Assumed Scheduled Payment deemed due, in respect of such Mortgage Loan (with respect to The Woodlands Mall Loan, to the extent allocable to The Woodlands Mall Pooled Component) on a Due Date during or prior to the related Collection Period and not previously recovered;
(d) the aggregate of the principal portion of all liquidation proceeds, insurance proceeds, condemnation awards and proceeds of repurchases of Mortgage Loans (with respect to The Woodlands Mall Loan, to the extent allocable to The Woodlands Mall Pooled Component) in such Loan Group or the Mortgage Pool, as applicable in the Mortgage Pool, and Substitution Shortfall Amounts with respect to Mortgage Loans in the Mortgage Pool or such Loan Group, as applicable, and, to the extent not otherwise included in clause (a), (b) or (c) above, payments and other amounts that were received on or in respect of Mortgage Loans (with respect to The Woodlands Mall Loan, to the extent allocable to The Woodlands Mall Pooled Component) in such Loan Group or the Mortgage Pool, as applicable, during the related Collection Period and that were identified and applied by the Master Servicer as recoveries of principal, in each case net of any portion of such amounts that represents a recovery of the principal portion of any Scheduled Payment (other than a Balloon Payment) due, or of the principal portion of any Assumed Scheduled Payment deemed due, in respect of the related Mortgage Loan on a Due Date during or prior to the related Collection Period and not previously recovered; and
(e) if such Distribution Date is subsequent to the initial Distribution Date, the excess, if any, of the Loan Group 1 Principal Distribution Amount, the Loan Group 2 Principal Distribution Amount and the Principal Distribution Amount, as the case may be, for the immediately preceding Distribution Date, over the aggregate distributions of principal made on the Certificates on such immediately preceding Distribution Date;
provided that the Principal Distribution Amount for any Distribution Date shall be reduced by the amount of any reimbursements of (i) nonrecoverable Advances plus interest on such nonrecoverable Advances that are paid or reimbursed from principal collections on the Mortgage Loans in a period during which such principal collections would have otherwise been included in the Principal Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date and (ii) Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts plus interest on such amounts that are paid or reimbursed from principal collections on the Mortgage Loans in a period during which such principal collections would have otherwise been included in the Principal Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date; provided, further, that in the case of clauses (i) and (ii) above, if any of the amounts that were reimbursed from principal collections on the Mortgage Loans are subsequently recovered on the related Mortgage Loan, such recovery will increase the Principal Distribution Amount for the Distribution Date related to the period in which such recovery occurs.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise noted, where Principal Distribution Amount is used in this prospectus supplement without specific reference to any Loan Group, it refers to the Principal Distribution Amount with respect to the entire Mortgage Pool.
Class WM Principal Distribution Amount. The ‘‘Class WM Principal Distribution Amount’’ for each Distribution Date will generally equal the aggregate of the following (without duplication) to the
S-197
extent paid by the borrower under The Woodlands Mall Loan or advanced by the Master Servicer or Trustee and allocable to The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component during the related Collection Period:
(a) the aggregate of the principal portions of all Scheduled Payments (other than Balloon Payments) and of any Assumed Scheduled Payments due or deemed due, on or in respect of The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component for its Due Date occurring during the related Collection Period, to the extent not previously paid by the related borrower or advanced by the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, prior to such Collection Period;
(b) the aggregate of all principal prepayments received on or in respect of The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component during the related Collection Period;
(c) if the stated maturity date of The Woodlands Mall Loan occurred during or prior to the related Collection Period, any payment of principal made by or on behalf of the borrower during the related Collection Period (including any Balloon Payment), net of any portion of such payment that represents a recovery of the principal portion of any Scheduled Payment (other than a Balloon Payment) due, or the principal portion of any Assumed Scheduled Payment deemed due, in respect of The Woodlands Mall Loan to the extent allocable to The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component on a Due Date during or prior to the related Collection Period and not previously recovered;
(d) the aggregate of the principal portion of all liquidation proceeds, insurance proceeds, condemnation awards and proceeds of repurchases, with respect to The Woodlands Mall Loan, to the extent allocable to The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component and, to the extent not otherwise included in clause (a), (b) or (c) above, payments and other amounts that were received on or in respect of The Woodlands Mall Loan, to the extent allocable to The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component during the related Collection Period that were identified and applied by the Master Servicer as recoveries of principal, in each case net of any portion of such amounts that represents a recovery of the principal portion of any Scheduled Payment (other than a Balloon Payment) due, or of the principal portion of any Assumed Scheduled Payment deemed due, in respect of The Woodlands Mall Loan, to the extent allocable to The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component, on a Due Date during or prior to the related Collection Period and not previously recovered; and
(e) if such Distribution Date is subsequent to the initial Distribution Date, the excess, if any, of the Class WM Principal Distribution Amount for the immediately preceding Distribution Date, over the aggregate distributions of principal made on the Class WM Certificates on such immediately preceding Distribution Date;
provided, that the Class WM Principal Distribution Amount for any Distribution Date shall be reduced by the amount of any reimbursements of (i) nonrecoverable Advances plus interest on such nonrecoverable Advances that are paid or reimbursed from principal collections allocable to The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component in a period during which such principal collections would have otherwise been included in the Class WM Principal Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date and (ii) Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts plus interest on such amount that are paid or reimbursed from principal collections allocable to The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component in a period during which such principal collection would have otherwise been included in the Class WM Principal Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date; provided, further, if any of the amounts that were reimbursed from principal collections allocable to The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component are subsequently recovered, such recovery will increase the Class WM Principal Distribution Amount for the Distribution Date related to the period in which such recovery occurs.
Class A-PB Planned Principal Balance. The ‘‘Class A-PB Planned Principal Balance’’ for any Distribution Date is the balance shown for such Distribution Date in the table set forth in Annex F to this prospectus supplement. Such balances were calculated using, among other things, the Table Assumptions. Based on these assumptions, the Certificate Balance of the Class A-PB Certificates on each Distribution Date would be reduced to the balance indicated for that Distribution Date on the table. There is no assurance, however, that the Mortgage Loans will perform in conformity with the Table Assumptions.
S-198
Therefore, there can be no assurance that the balance of the Class A-PB Certificates on any Distribution Date will be equal to the balance that is specified for such Distribution Date in the table. In particular, once the Certificate Balances of the Class A-1A Certificates, Class A-1 Certificates, Class A-2 Certificates and the Class A-3 Certificates and the Class A-3FL Regular Interest have been reduced to zero, any remaining portion on any Distribution Date of the Loan Group 1 Principal Distribution Amount and/or Loan Group 2 Principal Distribution Amount, as applicable, will be distributed on the Class A-PB Certificates until the Certificate Balance of the Class A-PB Certificates is reduced to zero.
The ‘‘Scheduled Payment’’ due on any Mortgage Loan on any related Due Date is the amount of the Periodic Payment (including Balloon Payments) that is or would have been, as the case may be, due thereon on such date, without regard to any waiver, modification or amendment of such Mortgage Loan granted or agreed to by the Special Servicer or otherwise resulting from a bankruptcy or similar proceeding involving the related borrower, without regard to the accrual of Additional Interest on or the application of any Excess Cash Flow to pay principal on an ARD Loan, without regard to any acceleration of principal by reason of default, and with the assumption that each prior Scheduled Payment has been made in a timely manner. The ‘‘Assumed Scheduled Payment’’ is an amount deemed due (i) on any Balloon Loan that is delinquent in respect of its Balloon Payment beyond the first Determination Date that follows its stated maturity date and (ii) on an REO Loan. The Assumed Scheduled Payment deemed due on any such Balloon Loan on its stated maturity date and on each successive related Due Date that it remains or is deemed to remain outstanding will equal the Scheduled Payment that would have been due thereon on such date if the related Balloon Payment had not come due but rather such Mortgage Loan had continued to amortize in accordance with such loan’s amortization schedule, if any, and to accrue interest at the Mortgage Rate in effect as of the Closing Date. The Assumed Scheduled Payment deemed due on any REO Loan on each Due Date that the related REO Property remains part of the Trust Fund will equal the Scheduled Payment that would have been due in respect of such Mortgage Loan on such Due Date had it remained outstanding (or, if such Mortgage Loan was a Balloon Loan and such Due Date coincides with or follows what had been its stated maturity date, the Assumed Scheduled Payment that would have been deemed due in respect of such Mortgage Loan on such Due Date had it remained outstanding).
Distributions of the Principal Distribution Amount (or the Class WM Principal Distribution Amount with respect to the Class WM Certificates) will constitute the only distributions of principal on the Certificates. Reimbursements of previously allocated Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund Expenses will not constitute distributions of principal for any purpose and will not result in an additional reduction in the Certificate Balance of the Class of Certificates in respect of which any such reimbursement is made.
Treatment of REO Properties. Notwithstanding that any Mortgaged Property may be acquired as part of the Trust Fund through foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, the related Mortgage Loan will be treated, for purposes of determining (i) distributions on the Certificates, (ii) allocations of Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund Expenses to the Certificates, and (iii) the amount of Trustee Fees and Servicing Fees payable under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as having remained outstanding until such REO Property is liquidated. In connection therewith, operating revenues and other proceeds derived from such REO Property (net of related operating costs) will be ‘‘applied’’ by the Master Servicer as principal, interest and other amounts that would have been ‘‘due’’ on such Mortgage Loan, and the Master Servicer will be required to make P&I Advances in respect of such Mortgage Loan, in all cases as if such Mortgage Loan had remained outstanding. References to ‘‘Mortgage Loan’’ or ‘‘Mortgage Loans’’ in the definitions of ‘‘Principal Distribution Amount’’ and ‘‘Weighted Average Net Mortgage Rate’’ are intended to include any Mortgage Loan as to which the related Mortgaged Property has become an REO Property (an ‘‘REO Loan’’). For purposes of this paragraph, the term Mortgage Loan includes the Whole Loans.
Allocation of Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges. In the event a borrower is required to pay any Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge, the amount of such payments actually collected (and, in the case of a Co-Lender Loan, payable with respect to the related Mortgage Loan pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement) will be distributed in respect of the Offered Certificates, the Class A-3FL Regular Interest and the Class E Certificates, Class F Certificates, Class G
S-199
Certificates and Class H Certificates as set forth below. ‘‘Yield Maintenance Charges’’ are fees paid or payable, as the context requires, as a result of a prepayment of principal on a Mortgage Loan, which fees have been calculated (based on Scheduled Payments on such Mortgage Loan) to compensate the holder of the Mortgage for reinvestment losses based on the value of a discount rate at or near the time of prepayment; provided, in most cases, a minimum fee is required by the Mortgage Loan documents (usually calculated as a percentage of the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan). Any other fees paid or payable, as the context requires, as a result of a prepayment of principal on a Mortgage Loan, which are calculated based upon a specified percentage (which may decline over time) of the amount prepaid are considered ‘‘Prepayment Premiums’’.
Any Prepayment Premiums or Yield Maintenance Charges collected on a Mortgage Loan during the related Collection Period will be distributed as follows: on each Distribution Date and with respect to the collection of any Prepayment Premiums or Yield Maintenance Charges on the Mortgage Loans, the holders of each Class of Offered Certificates, the Class A-3FL Regular Interest and the Class E Certificates, Class F Certificates, Class G Certificates and Class H Certificates then entitled to distributions of principal with respect to the related Loan Group on such Distribution Date will be entitled to an amount of Prepayment Premiums or Yield Maintenance Charges equal to the product of (a) the amount of such Prepayment Premiums or Yield Maintenance Charges; (b) a fraction (which in no event may be greater than one), the numerator of which is equal to the excess, if any, of the Pass-Through Rate of such Class of Certificates (other than the Class A-3FL Certificates) or the Class A-3FL Regular Interest over the relevant Discount Rate (as defined below), and the denominator of which is equal to the excess, if any, of the Mortgage Rate of the prepaid Mortgage Loan over the relevant Discount Rate; and (c) a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the amount of principal distributable on such Class of Certificates (other than the Class A-3FL Certificates) or the Class A-3FL Regular Interest on such Distribution Date with respect to the applicable Loan Group, and the denominator of which is the Principal Distribution Amount with respect to the applicable Loan Group for such Distribution Date. If there is more than one such Class of Certificates (other than the Class A-3FL Certificates) or the Class A-3FL Regular Interest entitled to distributions of principal with respect to the related Loan Group, as applicable, on any particular Distribution Date on which a Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge is distributable, the aggregate amount of such Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge will be allocated among all such Classes of Certificates (other than the Class A-3FL Certificates) or the Class A-3FL Regular Interest up to, and on a pro rata basis in accordance with, their respective entitlements thereto in accordance with, the first sentence of this paragraph. The portion, if any, of the Prepayment Premiums or Yield Maintenance Charges remaining after any such payments described above will be distributed as follows: (a) on or before the Distribution Date in June 2013, 17.0% to the holders of the Class X-P Certificates and 83.0% to the holders of the Class X-C Certificates and (b) thereafter, 100% to the holders of the Class X-C Certificates. Any Yield Maintenance Charges payable in respect of The Woodlands Mall Loan will be allocated on a pro rata basis between The Woodlands Mall Pooled Component and The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component and, with respect to such amounts allocable to The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component, will be distributed to the holders of the Class WM Certificates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a prepayment of the Chemed Center Fee Loan resulting from a default under the Chemed Center Leasehold Loan and subsequent exercise of the related ground lessee's purchase option by the mortgagee under the Chemed Center Leasehold Loan, no Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge received in connection with such a prepayment (if any) will be distributed to the holders of the Offered Certificates or the Class E Certificates, Class F Certificates, Class G Certificates or Class H Certificates.
On any Distribution Date, for so long as the swap contract with respect to the Class A-3FL Regular Interest is in effect and there is no continuing payment default under such swap contract, Yield Maintenance Charges and Prepayment Premiums distributable in respect of the Class A-3FL Regular Interest will be payable to the related swap counterparty, and on any Distribution Date on which such swap contract is not in effect or a continuing payment default by the related swap counterparty exists, Yield Maintenance Charges and Prepayment Premiums distributable in respect of the Class A-3FL Regular Interest will be distributable to the holders of the Class A-3FL Certificates.
S-200
The ‘‘Discount Rate’’ applicable to any Class of Offered Certificates and the Class A-3FL Regular Interest and the Class E Certificates, Class F Certificates, Class G Certificates and Class H Certificates will be equal to the discount rate stated in the related Mortgage Loan documents used in calculating the Yield Maintenance Charge with respect to such principal prepayment. To the extent that a discount rate is not stated therein, the Discount Rate will equal the yield (when compounded monthly) on the US Treasury issue with a maturity date closest to the maturity date for the prepaid Mortgage Loan or REO Loan. In the event that there are two or more such U.S. Treasury issues (a) with the same coupon, the issue with the lowest yield will be utilized, and (b) with maturity dates equally close to the maturity date for the prepaid Mortgage Loan or REO Loan, the issue with the earliest maturity date will be utilized.
For an example of the foregoing allocation of Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges, see ‘‘SUMMARY OF PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT’’ in this prospectus supplement. The Depositor makes no representation as to the enforceability of the provision of any Mortgage Note requiring the payment of a Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge, or of the collectibility of any Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge. See ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE MORTGAGE POOL—Certain Terms and Conditions of the Mortgage Loans—Prepayment Provisions’’ in this prospectus supplement.
Distributions of Additional Interest. On each Distribution Date, any Additional Interest collected on an ARD Loan, (and, with respect to any Co-Lender Loan, payable on the related Mortgage Loan pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement) during the related Collection Period will be distributed to the holders of the Class Z Certificates. There can be no assurance that any Additional Interest will be collected on the ARD Loans.
Subordination; Allocation of Losses and Certain Expenses
The rights of holders of the Subordinate Certificates to receive distributions of amounts collected or advanced on the Mortgage Loans will be subordinated, to the extent described in this prospectus supplement, to the rights of holders of the Class A Certificates (other than the Class A-3FL Certificates), the Class X-C Certificates and the Class X-P Certificates and the Class A-3FL Regular Interest and each other such Class of Subordinate Certificates, if any, with a higher payment priority. The Class WM Certificates will represent interests in, and will be payable only out of payments, advances and other amounts allocable to The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component. The rights of the holders of the Class WM Certificates to receive distributions of amounts collected or advanced in respect of The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component will be subordinated, to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to the rights of the holder of The Woodlands Mall Pooled Component, and therefore the holders of the Class A Certificates (other than the Class A-3FL Certificates), the Class X Certificates and the Class A-3FL Regular Interest and the Subordinate Certificates. This subordination provided by the Subordinate Certificates and, to the extent provided herein, the Class WM Certificates, is intended to enhance the likelihood of timely receipt by the holders of the Class A Certificates (other than the Class A-3FL Certificates), Class X Certificates and the Class A-3FL Regular Interest of the full amount of Distributable Certificate Interest payable in respect of such Classes of Certificates on each Distribution Date, and the ultimate receipt by the holders of each Class of the Class A Certificates of principal in an amount equal to the entire related Certificate Balance. This subordination provided by the Subordinate Certificates is intended to enhance the likelihood of timely receipt by the holders of the Class A Certificates (other than the Class A-3FL Certificates) and the Class A-3FL Regular Interest and the Class X Certificates of the full amount of Distributable Certificate Interest payable in respect of such Classes of Certificates on each Distribution Date, and the ultimate receipt by the holders of each Class of the Class A Certificates (other than the Class A-3FL Certificates) and the Class A-3FL Regular Interest of principal in an amount equal to the entire related Certificate Balance. Similarly, but to decreasing degrees, this subordination is also intended to enhance the likelihood of timely receipt by the holders of the Class A-M Certificates, Class A-J Certificates, Class B Certificates, Class C Certificates and Class D Certificates of the full amount of Distributable Certificate Interest payable in respect of such Classes of Certificates on each Distribution Date, and the ultimate receipt by the holders of such Certificates of, in the case of each such Class thereof, principal equal to the entire related Certificate Balance. The protection afforded (a) to the holders of the Class D Certificates by means of the subordination of the
S-201
Non-Offered Certificates (other than the Class X-C Certificates, the Class WM Certificates and the Class A-3FL Regular Interest), (b) to the holders of the Class C Certificates by means of the subordination of the Class D Certificates and the Non-Offered Certificates (other than the Class X-C Certificates, the Class WM Certificates and the Class A-3FL Regular Interest), (c) to the holders of the Class B Certificates by means of the subordination of the Class C Certificates, the Class D Certificates and the Non-Offered Certificates (other than the Class X-C Certificates, the Class WM Certificates and the Class A-3FL Regular Interest), (d) to the holders of the Class A-J Certificates by means of the subordination of the Class B Certificates, Class C Certificates, Class D Certificates and the Non-Offered Certificates (other than the Class X-C Certificates, the Class WM Certificates and the Class A-3FL Regular Interest), (e) to the holders of the Class A-M Certificates, by means of the subordination of the Class A-J Certificates, Class B Certificates, Class C Certificates, Class D Certificates and the Non-Offered Certificates (other than the Class X-C Certificates, the Class WM Certificates and the Class A-3FL Regular Interest) and (f) to the holders of the Class A Certificates, Class X Certificates and the Class A-3FL Regular Interest by means of the subordination of the Subordinate Certificates, will be accomplished by (i) the application of the Available Distribution Amount on each Distribution Date in accordance with the order of priority described under ‘‘—Distributions—Application of the Available Distribution Amount’’ above and (ii) by the allocation of Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund Expenses as described below. Until the first Distribution Date after the aggregate of the Certificate Balances of the Subordinate Certificates has been reduced to zero, the Class A-3 Certificates and the Class A-3FL Regular Interest will receive principal payments, pro rata, only after the Certificate Balance of each of the Class A-1 Certificates and Class A-2 Certificates have been reduced to zero and the Certificate Balance of the Class A-PB Certificates, has been reduced to the Class A-PB Planned Principal Balance, the Class A-PB Certificates will receive principal payments (other than planned principal payments as described in this prospectus supplement) only after the Certificate Balance of each of the Class A-1 Certificates, Class A-2 Certificates and Class A-3 Certificates and the Class A-3FL Regular Interest has been reduced to zero, the Class A-2 Certificates will receive principal payments only after the Certificate Balance of the Class A-1 Certificates has been reduced to zero and the Certificate Balance of the Class A-PB Certificates has been reduced to the Class A-PB Planned Principal Balance, and the Class A-1 Certificates will receive principal payments only after the Certificate Balance of the Class A-PB Certificates has been reduced to the Class A-PB Planned Principal Balance. However after the Distribution Date on which the Certificate Balances of the Subordinate Certificates have been reduced to zero, the Class A Certificates, the Class A-3FL Regular Interest (and therefore the Class A-3FL Certificates), to the extent such Classes of Certificates and the Class A-3FL Regular Interest remain outstanding, will bear shortfalls in collections and losses incurred in respect of the Mortgage Loans pro rata in respect of distributions of principal and then the Class A Certificates, the Class A-3FL Regular Interest (and therefore the Class A-3FL Certificates) and Class X Certificates, to the extent such Classes remain outstanding, will bear such shortfalls pro rata in respect of distributions of interest. No other form of credit support will be available for the benefit of the holders of the Offered Certificates or the Class A-3FL Regular Interest (and therefore the Class A-3FL Certificates).
Allocation to the Class A Certificates (other than the Class A-3FL Certificates) and the Class A-3FL Regular Interest, for so long as they are outstanding, of the entire Principal Distribution Amount with respect to the related Loan Group for each Distribution Date in accordance with the priorities described under ‘‘—Distributions—Application of the Available Distribution Amount’’ above will have the effect of reducing the aggregate Certificate Balance of the Class A Certificates (other than the Class A-3FL Certificates) and the Class A-3FL Regular Interest at a proportionately faster rate than the rate at which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Pool will reduce. Thus, as principal is distributed to the holders of such Class A Certificates (other than the Class A-3FL Certificates) and the Class A-3FL Regular Interest, the percentage interest in the Trust Fund evidenced by such Class A Certificates (other than the Class A-3FL Certificates) and the Class A-3FL Regular Interest will be decreased (with a corresponding increase in the percentage interest in the Trust Fund evidenced by the Subordinate Certificates), thereby increasing, relative to their respective Certificate Balances, the subordination afforded such Class A Certificates (other than the Class A-3FL Certificates) and the Class A-3FL Regular Interest by the Subordinate Certificates.
S-202
On each Distribution Date, following all distributions on the Certificates (other than the Class A-3FL Certificates) and the Class A-3FL Regular Interest to be made on such date, the aggregate of all Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund Expenses related to all Mortgage Loans (without regard to Loan Groups) that have been incurred since the Cut-Off Date through the end of the related Collection Period and that have not previously been allocated as described below will be allocated among the respective Classes of Sequential Pay Certificates (other than the Class A-3FL Certificates) and the Class A-3FL Regular Interest (and, therefore the Class A-3FL Certificate Balances), and to the extent applicable, the Class WM Certificates (in each case, in reduction of their respective Certificate Balances) as follows, but, with respect to the Classes of Sequential Pay Certificates (other than the Class A-3FL Certificates) and the Class A-3FL Regular Interest, in the aggregate only to the extent the aggregate Certificate Balance of all Classes of Sequential Pay Certificates (other than the Class A-3FL Certificates) and the Class A-3FL Regular Interest remaining outstanding after giving effect to the distributions on such Distribution Date exceeds the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Pool (excluding The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component) that will be outstanding immediately following such Distribution Date: first, to the Class P Certificates, until the remaining Certificate Balance of such Class of Certificates is reduced to zero; second, to the Class O Certificates, until the remaining Certificate Balance of such Class of Certificates is reduced to zero; third, to the Class N Certificates, until the remaining Certificate Balance of such Class of Certificates is reduced to zero; fourth, to the Class M Certificates, until the remaining Certificate Balance of such Class of Certificates is reduced to zero; fifth, to the Class L Certificates, until the remaining Certificate Balance of such Class of Certificates is reduced to zero; sixth, to the Class K Certificates, until the remaining Certificate Balance of such Class of Certificates is reduced to zero; seventh, to the Class J Certificates, until the remaining Certificate Balance of such Class of Certificates is reduced to zero; eighth, to the Class H Certificates, until the remaining Certificate Balance of such Class of Certificates is reduced to zero; ninth, to the Class G Certificates, until the remaining Certificate Balance of such Class of Certificates is reduced to zero; tenth, to the Class F Certificates, until the remaining Certificate Balance of such Class of Certificates is reduced to zero; eleventh, to the Class E Certificates, until the remaining Certificate Balance of such Class of Certificates is reduced to zero; twelfth, to the Class D Certificates, until the remaining Certificate Balance of such Class of Certificates is reduced to zero; thirteenth, to the Class C Certificates, until the remaining Certificate Balance of such Class of Certificates is reduced to zero; fourteenth, to the Class B Certificates, until the remaining Certificate Balance of such Class of Certificates is reduced to zero; fifteenth, to the Class A-J Certificates, until the remaining Certificate Balance of such Class of Certificates is reduced to zero; sixteenth, to the Class A-M Certificates, until the remaining Certificate Balance of such Class of Certificates is reduced to zero; and last, to the Class A Certificates (other than the Class A-3FL Certificates) and the Class A-3FL Regular Interest, pro rata, in proportion to their respective outstanding Certificate Balances, until the remaining Certificate Balances of such Classes of Certificates and the Class A-3FL Regular Interest are reduced to zero.
Any losses and expenses that are associated with each of The Woodlands Mall Loan and The Woodlands Mall Companion Loan will be allocated in accordance with the terms of The Woodlands Mall Intercreditor Agreement first, to The Woodlands Mall Subordinate Companion Loan, and second, to The Woodlands Mall Loan. After making the preceding allocations, such losses and expenses allocated to The Woodlands Mall Loan will be allocated first, to The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component (and therefore, to the Class WM Certificates) and second, to The Woodlands Mall Pooled Component (and therefore, to the Classes of Sequential Pay Certificates) in the manner described above.
Generally, any losses and expenses that are associated with the Co-Lender Loans with Subordinate Companion Loans will be allocated in accordance with the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement first, to the related Subordinate Companion Loan and second, to the related Mortgage Loan. The portion of those losses and expenses allocated to each of the related Mortgage Loans will be allocated among the Certificates in the manner described above. Any losses and expenses with respect to the Prime Outlets Pool II Whole Loan will be allocated in accordance with the Prime Outlets Pool II Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement pro rata to the Prime Outlets Pool II Loan and the Prime Outlets Pool II Pari Passu Companion Loan.
‘‘Realized Losses’’ are losses arising from the inability to collect all amounts due and owing under any defaulted Mortgage Loan, including by reason of the fraud or bankruptcy of the borrower or a casualty
S-203
of any nature at the related Mortgaged Property, to the extent not covered by insurance. The Realized Loss in respect of a liquidated Mortgage Loan is an amount generally equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan as of the date of liquidation, together with (i) all accrued and unpaid interest thereon to but not including the Due Date in the Collection Period in which the liquidation occurred (exclusive of any related default interest in excess of the Mortgage Rate, Additional Interest, Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charges) and (ii) certain related unreimbursed servicing expenses (including any unreimbursed interest on any Advances), over (b) the aggregate amount of liquidation proceeds, if any, recovered in connection with such liquidation. If any portion of the debt due under a Mortgage Loan (other than Additional Interest and default interest in excess of the Mortgage Rate) is forgiven, whether in connection with a modification, waiver or amendment granted or agreed to by the Special Servicer or in connection with the bankruptcy or similar proceeding involving the related borrower, the amount so forgiven also will be treated as a Realized Loss. The Realized Loss in respect of a Mortgage Loan for which a Final Recovery Determination has been made includes nonrecoverable Advances (in each case, including interest on that nonrecoverable Advance) to the extent amounts have been paid from the Principal Distribution Amount (or the Class WM Principal Distribution Amount with respect to the Class WM Certificates) pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
‘‘Additional Trust Fund Expenses’’ include, among other things, (i) any Special Servicing Fees, Liquidation Fees, Determination Party fees (in certain circumstances) or Workout Fees paid to the Special Servicer, (ii) any interest paid to the Master Servicer and/or the Trustee in respect of unreimbursed Advances (to the extent not otherwise offset by penalty interest and late payment charges) and amounts payable to the Special Servicer in connection with certain inspections of Mortgaged Properties required pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (to the extent not otherwise offset by penalty interest and late payment charges otherwise payable to the Special Servicer and received in the Collection Period during which such inspection related expenses were incurred) and (iii) any of certain unanticipated expenses of the Trust Fund, including certain indemnities and reimbursements to the Trustee of the type described under ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENTS—Certain Matters Regarding the Trustee’’ in the accompanying prospectus, certain indemnities and reimbursements to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Depositor of the type described under ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENTS— Certain Matters Regarding the Master Servicer and the Depositor’’ in the accompanying prospectus (the Special Servicer having the same rights to indemnity and reimbursement as described thereunder with respect to the Master Servicer), certain Rating Agency fees to the extent such fees are not paid by any other party and certain federal, state and local taxes and certain tax related expenses, payable from the assets of the Trust Fund and described under ‘‘MATERIAL FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES—Federal Income Tax Consequences for REMIC Certificates—Taxation of Owners of REMIC Residual Certificates’’ and ‘‘—Prohibited Transactions Tax and Other Taxes’’ in the accompanying prospectus and ‘‘SERVICING OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS—Defaulted Mortgage Loans; REO Properties; Purchase Option’’ in this prospectus supplement. Additional Trust Fund expenses shall not include costs or fees incurred with respect to any swap contract with respect to the Class A-3FL Regular Interest, which shall not be payable by the Trust Fund or from the Floating Rate Account. Additional Trust Fund Expenses will reduce amounts payable to Certificateholders and, subject to the distribution priorities described above, may result in a loss on one or more Classes of Offered Certificates.
P&I Advances
On or about each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer is obligated, subject to the recoverability determination described below (and any other applicable limitations), to make advances (each, a ‘‘P&I Advance’’) out of its own funds or, subject to the replacement thereof as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, from funds held in the Certificate Account that are not required to be distributed to Certificateholders (or paid to any other Person pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) on such Distribution Date, in an amount that is generally equal to the aggregate of all Periodic Payments (other than Balloon Payments) (including interest payments on The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component) and any Assumed Scheduled Payments, net of related Master Servicing Fees in respect of
S-204
the Mortgage Loans including the Prime Outlets Pool II Pari Passu Companion Loan that are being serviced by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable) and any REO Loans during the related Collection Period, in each case to the extent such amount was not paid by or on behalf of the related borrower or otherwise collected (or previously advanced by the Master Servicer) as of the close of business on the last day of the Collection Period. P&I Advances are intended to maintain a regular flow of scheduled interest and principal payments to the holders of the Class or Classes of Certificates entitled thereto, rather than to insure against losses. The Master Servicer’s obligations to make P&I Advances in respect of any Mortgage Loan (including Interest Advances on The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component), subject to the recoverability determination, will continue until liquidation of such Mortgage Loan or disposition of any REO Property acquired in respect thereof. However, if the Periodic Payment on any Mortgage Loan has been reduced in connection with a bankruptcy or similar proceeding or a modification, waiver or amendment granted or agreed to by the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer will be required to advance only the amount of the reduced Periodic Payment (net of related Servicing Fees) in respect of subsequent delinquencies. In addition, if it is determined that an Appraisal Reduction Amount exists with respect to any Required Appraisal Loan (as defined below), then, with respect to the Distribution Date immediately following the date of such determination and with respect to each subsequent Distribution Date for so long as such Appraisal Reduction Amount exists, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable will be required in the event of subsequent delinquencies to advance in respect of such Mortgage Loan only an amount equal to the sum of (i) the amount of the interest portion of the P&I Advance that would otherwise be required without regard to this sentence, minus the product of (a) such Appraisal Reduction Amount and (b) the per annum Pass-Through Rate (i.e., for any month, one twelfth of the Pass-Through Rate) applicable to the Class of Certificates, to which such Appraisal Reduction Amount is allocated as described in ‘‘—Appraisal Reductions’’ below and (ii) the amount of the principal portion of the P&I Advance that would otherwise be required without regard to this sentence. Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, if the Master Servicer fails to make a P&I Advance required to be made, the Trustee will then be required to make such P&I Advance, except any P&I Advance with respect to a Prime Outlets Pool II Pari Passu Companion Loan, in such case, subject to the recoverability standard described below. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee will be required to make a P&I Advance or any other advance for any Balloon Payments, default interest, late payment charges, Prepayment Premiums, Yield Maintenance Charges or Additional Interest. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee will be required to make any P&I Advance with respect to any Subordinate Companion Loan. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee will be required to make any P&I Advances with respect to any Companion Loan (except, with respect to the Master Servicer, the Prime Outlets Pool II Pari Passu Companion Loan when they are included in a securitization). If the Master Servicer fails to make the required P&I Advance, the Trustee is required to make such P&I Advance, except any P&I Advance with respect to a Prime Outlets Pool II Pari Passu Companion Loan, subject to the same limitations, and with the same rights, as described above for the Master Servicer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this prospectus supplement, amounts advanced in respect of The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component will not be available for distributions on the Certificates (except for the Class WM Certificates).
The Master Servicer (or the Trustee) is entitled to recover any P&I Advance made out of its own funds from any amounts collected in respect of the Mortgage Loan (including, with respect to The Woodlands Mall Loan, The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component) (net of related Master Servicing Fees with respect to collections of interest and net of related Liquidation Fees and Workout Fees with respect to collections of principal) as to which such P&I Advance was made whether such amounts are collected in the form of late payments, insurance and condemnation proceeds or liquidation proceeds, or any other recovery of the related Mortgage Loan or REO Property (‘‘Related Proceeds’’). Neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee is obligated to make any P&I Advance that it or the Special Servicer determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard (in the case of the Master Servicer and Special Servicer) or its good faith business judgment (in the case of the Trustee), would, if made, not be recoverable from Related Proceeds (a ‘‘Nonrecoverable P&I Advance’’), and the Master Servicer (or the Trustee) is entitled to recover, from general funds on deposit in the Certificate Account, any P&I Advance made that it determines to be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance plus interest at the Reimbursement Rate. In addition, both the Master Servicer and the Trustee will be entitled to recover any Advance (together
S-205
with interest thereon) that is outstanding at the time that the related Mortgage Loan is modified in connection with such Mortgage Loan becoming a Corrected Mortgage Loan and is not repaid in full in connection with such modification but instead becomes an obligation of the borrower to pay such amounts in the future (such Advance, a ‘‘Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount’’) out of principal collections in the Certificate Account. Any amount that constitutes all or a portion of any Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount may at any time be determined to constitute a nonrecoverable Advance and thereafter shall be recoverable as any other nonrecoverable Advance. A Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount will constitute a nonrecoverable Advance when the person making such determination, and taking into account factors such as all other outstanding Advances, either (a) has determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard (in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) or its good faith business judgment (in the case of the Trustee) that such Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount would not ultimately be recoverable from Related Proceeds, or (b) has determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard (in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) or its good faith business judgment (in the case of the Trustee) that such Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount, along with any other Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts and nonrecoverable Advances, would not ultimately be recoverable out of principal collections in the Certificate Account. In addition, any such person may update or change its recoverability determinations (but not reverse any other person’s determination that an Advance is nonrecoverable) at any time and may obtain at the expense of the Trust Fund any analysis, appraisals or market value estimates or other information for such purposes. Absent bad faith, any such determination that an Advance is nonrecoverable will be conclusive and binding on the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer and the Trustee. Any requirement of the Master Servicer or the Trustee to make an Advance in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is intended solely to provide liquidity for the benefit of the Certificateholders and not as credit support or otherwise to impose on any such person the risk of loss with respect to one or more Mortgage Loans. See ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE CERTIFICATES—Advances in Respect of Delinquencies’’ and ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENTS—Certificate Account’’ in the accompanying prospectus.
With respect to any recovery of any P&I Advance made by the Master Servicer on a Prime Outlets Pool II Pari Passu Companion Loan, the Master Servicer may recover such amounts and any interest thereon from the holder of such Prime Outlets Pool II Pari Passu Companion Loan and at no time from the Trust Fund. In addition, with respect to any nonrecoverable servicing advances made on any Pari Passu Loan and the related Pari Passu Companion Loan, the Master Servicer and the Trustee may recover such amounts pro rata from the Trust Fund and the related holder of such Pari Passu Companion Loan; provided that, in the event the pro rata shares, together with amounts available for reimbursement to the Master Servicer or the Trustee from general collections under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, are not sufficient to reimburse the Master Servicer or Trustee, the advancing party may collect the full amount thereof from the related holder of the Pari Passu Companion Loan.
In connection with the recovery by the Master Servicer or the Trustee of any P&I Advance made by it or the recovery by the Master Servicer or the Trustee of any reimbursable servicing expense (which may include nonrecoverable advances to the extent deemed to be in the best interest of the Certificateholders) incurred by it (each such P&I Advance or expense, an ‘‘Advance’’), the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, is entitled to be paid interest compounded annually at a per annum rate equal to the Reimbursement Rate. Such interest will be paid contemporaneously with the reimbursement of the related Advance first out of late payment charges and default interest received on the related Mortgage Loan (including The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component) in the Collection Period in which such reimbursement is made and then from general collections on the Mortgage Loans (including The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component) then on deposit in the Certificate Account; provided, however, no P&I Advance shall accrue interest until after the expiration of any applicable grace period for the related Periodic Payment. In addition, to the extent the Master Servicer receives late payment charges or default interest on a Mortgage Loan for which interest on Advances related to such Mortgage Loan has been paid from general collections on deposit in the Certificate Account and not previously reimbursed to the Trust Fund, such late payment charges or default interest will be used to reimburse the Trust Fund for such payment of interest. The ‘‘Reimbursement Rate’’ is equal to the ‘‘prime rate’’ published in the
S-206
‘‘Money Rates’’ Section of The Wall Street Journal, as such ‘‘prime rate’’ may change from time to time, accrued on the amount of such Advance from the date made to but not including the date of reimbursement. To the extent not offset or covered by amounts otherwise payable on the Non-Offered Certificates, interest accrued on outstanding Advances will result in a reduction in amounts payable on the Offered Certificates, subject to the distribution priorities described in this prospectus supplement.
Upon a determination that a previously made Advance is not recoverable, instead of obtaining reimbursement out of general collections immediately, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, may, in its sole discretion, elect to obtain reimbursement for such nonrecoverable Advance over time (not to exceed 12 months or such longer period of time as agreed to by the Master Servicer and the Controlling Class Representative, each in its sole discretion) and the unreimbursed portion of such Advance will accrue interest at the prime rate. At any time after such a determination to obtain reimbursement over time, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, may, in its sole discretion, decide to obtain reimbursement immediately. The fact that a decision to recover such nonrecoverable Advances over time, or not to do so, benefits some Classes of Certificateholders to the detriment of other Classes shall not, with respect to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, constitute a violation of the Servicing Standard or contractual duty under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and/or with respect to the Trustee, constitute a violation of any fiduciary duty to Certificateholders or contractual duty under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In the event that the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, elects not to recover such non-recoverable advances over time, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, will be required to give S&P and Moody’s at least 15 days notice prior to any such reimbursement to it of nonrecoverable Advances from amounts in the Certificate Account allocable to interest on the Mortgage Loans, unless the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, makes a determination not to give such notice in accordance with the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
If the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Special Servicer, as applicable, reimburses itself out of general collections on the Mortgage Pool (including, with respect to The Woodlands Mall Loan, The Woodlands Mall Pooled Component, if applicable, solely to the extent principal and interest payments and collections on The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component are not sufficient) for any Advance that it has determined is not recoverable out of collections on the related Mortgage Loan (including, with respect to The Woodlands Mall Loan, The Woodlans Mall Non-Pooled Component) or reimburses itself out of general collections, related to principal only, on the Mortgage Pool (including with respect to The Woodlands Mall Loan, The Woodlands Mall Pooled Component, if applicable, solely to the extent principal and interest payments and collections on The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component are not sufficient) for any Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount, then that Advance or Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount (together, in each case, with accrued interest thereon) will be deemed, to the fullest extent permitted pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to be reimbursed first out of the Principal Distribution Amount otherwise distributable on the applicable Certificates (prior to, in the case of nonrecoverable Advances only, being deemed reimbursed out of payments and other collections of interest on the underlying Mortgage Loans otherwise distributable on the applicable Certificates), thereby reducing the Principal Distribution Amount of such Certificates. To the extent any Advance is determined to be nonrecoverable and to the extent of each Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount, if the Advance or Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount is reimbursed out of the Principal Distribution Amount as described above and the item for which the Advance or Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount was originally made is subsequently collected from payments or other collections on the related Mortgage Loan, then the Principal Distribution Amount for the Distribution Date corresponding to the Collection Period in which this item was recovered will be increased by the lesser of (a) the amount of the item and (b) any previous reduction in the Principal Distribution Amount for a prior Distribution Date pursuant to this paragraph. Amounts in respect of The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component are not available for distributions on the Certificates (other than the Class WM Certificates), nor are they available for the reimbursement of nonrecoverable Advances of principal and interest on the Certificates (other than the Class WM Certificates) to the extent unrelated to The Woodlands Mall Loan.

Appraisal Reductions
Upon the earliest of the date (each such date, a ‘‘Required Appraisal Date’’) that (1) any Mortgage Loan (including the Prime Outlets Pool II Pari Passu Companion Loan) is 60 days delinquent in respect of any Periodic Payments, (2) any REO Property is acquired on behalf of the Trust Fund in respect of any Mortgage Loan, (3) any Mortgage Loan has been modified by the Special Servicer to reduce the amount of any Periodic Payment, other than a Balloon Payment, (4) a receiver is appointed and continues in such capacity in respect of the Mortgaged Property securing any Mortgage Loan, (5) a borrower with respect to any Mortgage Loan becomes subject to any bankruptcy proceeding, (6) a Balloon Payment with respect to any Mortgage Loan (including the Prime Outlets Pool II Pari Passu Companion Loan) has not been paid on its scheduled maturity date, unless the Master Servicer has, on or prior to 60 days following the scheduled maturity date of such Balloon Payment, received written evidence from an institutional lender of such lender’s binding commitment to refinance such Mortgage Loan (including the Prime Outlets Pool II Pari Passu Companion Loan) within 60 days after the Due Date of such Balloon Payment (provided that if such refinancing does not occur during such time specified in the commitment, the related Mortgage Loan (including the Prime Outlets Pool II Pari Passu Companion Loan) will immediately become a Required Appraisal Loan) or (7) any Mortgage Loan is outstanding 60 days after the third anniversary of an extension of its scheduled maturity date (each such Mortgage Loan, including an REO Loan, a ‘‘Required Appraisal Loan’’), the Special Servicer is required to obtain (within 60 days of the applicable Required Appraisal Date) an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property prepared in accordance with 12 CFR Section 225.62 and conducted in accordance with the standards of the Appraisal Institute by a Qualified Appraiser (or with respect to any Mortgage Loan with an outstanding principal balance less than $2 million, an internal valuation performed by the Special Servicer), unless such an appraisal had previously been obtained within the prior twelve months. A ‘‘Qualified Appraiser’’ is an independent appraiser, selected by the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, that is a member in good standing of the Appraisal Institute, and that, if the state in which the subject Mortgaged Property is located certifies or licenses appraisers, is certified or licensed in such state, and in each such case, who has a minimum of five years experience in the subject property type and market. The cost of such appraisal will be advanced by the Master Servicer, subject to the Master Servicer’s right to be reimbursed therefor out of Related Proceeds or, if not reimbursable therefrom, out of general funds on deposit in the Certificate Account. As a result of any such appraisal, it may be determined that an ‘‘Appraisal Reduction Amount’’ exists with respect to the related Required Appraisal Loan, such determination to be made by the Special Servicer as described below. The Appraisal Reduction Amount for any Required Appraisal Loan will be calculated by the Special Servicer and will equal the excess, if any, of (a) the sum (without duplication), as of the first Determination Date immediately succeeding the Special Servicer’s obtaining knowledge of the occurrence of the Required Appraisal Date if no new appraisal is required or the date on which the appraisal or internal valuation, if applicable, is obtained and each Determination Date thereafter so long as the related Mortgage Loan remains a Required Appraisal Loan, of (i) the Stated Principal Balance of such Required Appraisal Loan and any Companion Loans related thereto (including, with respect to The Woodlands Mall Loan, The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component), (ii) to the extent not previously advanced by or on behalf of the Master Servicer or the Trustee, all unpaid interest on the Required Appraisal Loan and any related Companion Loans to the extent the Special Servicer had actual knowledge of such advance, through the most recent Due Date prior to such Determination Date at a per annum rate equal to the related Net Mortgage Rate for the Required Appraisal Loan and the related fixed annualized rate of interest scheduled to accrue for the related Companion Loans (exclusive of any portion thereof that constitutes Additional Interest), (iii) all accrued but unpaid Servicing Fees and all accrued but unpaid Additional Trust Fund Expenses in respect of such Required Appraisal Loan and any related Companion Loans, plus, with respect to any Pari Passu Companion Loan, similar fees and expenses to the extent the Special Servicer has actual knowledge of such fees and expenses, (iv) all related unreimbursed Advances (plus accrued interest thereon) made by or on behalf of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee with respect to such Required Appraisal Loan and any related Companion Loan and (v) all currently due and unpaid real estate taxes and reserves owed for improvements and assessments, insurance premiums, and, if applicable, ground rents in respect of the related Mortgaged Property, over (b) an amount equal to the sum of (i) all escrows, reserves and letters of credit held for the purposes of reserves (provided such letters of credit may be drawn upon for reserve purposes under the
S-208
related Mortgage Loan documents) held with respect to such Required Appraisal Loan, plus (ii) 90% of the appraised value (net of any prior liens and estimated liquidation expenses) of the related Mortgaged Property (or in the case of The Woodlands Mall Loan, such Mortgage Loan's allocable portion of the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property) as determined by such appraisal less any downward adjustments made by the Special Servicer (without implying any obligation to do so) based upon its review of the Appraisal and such other information as the Special Servicer deems appropriate. If the Special Servicer has not obtained a new appraisal (or performed an internal valuation, if applicable) within the time limit described above, the Appraisal Reduction Amount for the related Mortgage Loan will equal 25% of the principal balance of such Mortgage Loan (including, with respect to The Woodlands Mall Loan, The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component), to be adjusted upon receipt of the new appraisal (or internal valuation, if applicable).
As a result of calculating an Appraisal Reduction Amount with respect to a Mortgage Loan, the interest portion of a P&I Advance for such Mortgage Loan for the related Distribution Date will be reduced, which will have the effect of reducing the amount of interest available for distribution to the Subordinate Certificates in reverse order of entitlement to distribution with respect to such Classes; provided that with respect to any Appraisal Reduction Amount related to The Woodlands Mall Loan, such amounts will be allocated first to The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component (and, therefore to the Class WM Certificates) prior to any application of such amounts to The Woodlands Mall Pooled Component (and as a result to the Offered Certificates). See ‘‘—P&I Advances’’ above. Any such Appraisal Reduction Amounts on Mortgage Loans with Subordinate Companion Loans will generally be allocated first, to the Subordinate Companion Loan, and second, to the related Mortgage Loan. For the purpose of calculating P&I Advances only, the aggregate Appraisal Reduction Amounts will be allocated to the Certificate Balance of each Class of Sequential Pay Certificates in reverse order of payment priorities.

Assumed Final Distribution Date; Rated Final Distribution Date
The ‘‘Assumed Final Distribution Date’’ with respect to any Class of REMIC Regular Certificates is the Distribution Date on which the Certificate Balance of such Class of Certificates would be reduced to zero based on the assumption that no Mortgage Loan is voluntarily prepaid prior to its stated maturity date (except for the ARD Loans which are assumed to be paid in full on their respective Anticipated Repayment Dates) and otherwise based on the ‘‘Table Assumptions’’ set forth under ‘‘YIELD AND MATURITY CONSIDERATIONS—Weighted Average Life’’ in this prospectus supplement, which Distribution Date shall in each case be as follows:
Class Designation | Assumed Final Distribution Date | ||
Class A-1 | March 15, 2011 | ||
Class A-2 | June 15, 2011 | ||
Class A-PB | April 15, 2016 | ||
Class A-3 | June 15, 2016 | ||
Class A-1A | June 15, 2016 | ||
Class X-P | June 15, 2013 | ||
Class A-M | June 15, 2016 | ||
Class A-J | June 15, 2016 | ||
Class B | June 15, 2016 | ||
Class C | June 15, 2016 | ||
Class D | June 15, 2016 | ||
The Assumed Final Distribution Dates set forth above were calculated without regard to any delays in the collection of Balloon Payments and without regard to a reasonable liquidation time with respect to any Mortgage Loans that may be delinquent. Accordingly, in the event of defaults on the Mortgage Loans, the actual final Distribution Date for one or more Classes of the Offered Certificates may be later, and could be substantially later, than the related Assumed Final Distribution Date(s).
In addition, the Assumed Final Distribution Dates set forth above were calculated on the basis of a 0% CPR (as defined in this prospectus supplement) (except that it is assumed that the ARD Loans pay their respective principal balances on their related Anticipated Repayment Dates) and no losses on the Mortgage Loans. Because the rate of principal payments (including prepayments) on the Mortgage Loans can be expected to exceed the scheduled rate of principal payments, and could exceed such scheduled rate by a substantial amount, and because losses may occur in respect of the Mortgage Loans, the actual final Distribution Date for one or more Classes of the Offered Certificates may be earlier, and could be substantially earlier, than the related Assumed Final Distribution Date(s). The rate of principal payments (including prepayments) on the Mortgage Loans will depend on the characteristics of the Mortgage Loans, as well as on the prevailing level of interest rates and other economic factors, and no assurance can

be given as to actual principal payment experience. Finally, the Assumed Final Distribution Dates were calculated assuming there would not be an early termination of the Trust Fund. See ‘‘YIELD AND MATURITY CONSIDERATIONS’’ and ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE MORTGAGE POOL’’ in this prospectus supplement and ‘‘YIELD CONSIDERATIONS’’ and ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE TRUST FUNDS’’ in the accompanying prospectus.
The ‘‘Rated Final Distribution Date’’ with respect to each Class of Offered Certificates is the Distribution Date in June 2045 the first Distribution Date that follows the second anniversary of the end of the amortization term for the Mortgage Loan that, as of the Cut-Off Date, has the longest remaining amortization term. The rating assigned by a Rating Agency to any Class of Offered Certificates entitled to receive distributions in respect of principal reflects an assessment of the likelihood that Certificateholders of such Class will receive, on or before the Rated Final Distribution Date, all principal distributions to which they are entitled. See ‘‘RATINGS’’ in this prospectus supplement.
Voting Rights
At all times during the term of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, 100% of the voting rights for the Certificates (the ‘‘Voting Rights’’) will be allocated among the respective Classes of Certificates as follows: (i) 4% in the aggregate in the case of the Class X Certificates (allocated, pro rata, between the Classes of Class X Certificates based on Notional Amount) and (ii) in the case of any Class of Sequential Pay Certificates, a percentage equal to the product of 96% and a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the aggregate Certificate Balance of such Class of Certificates (as adjusted by treating any Appraisal Reduction Amount as a Realized Loss solely for the purposes of adjusting Voting Rights) and the denominator of which is equal to the aggregate Certificate Balances of all Classes of Sequential Pay Certificates, determined as of the Distribution Date immediately preceding such time; provided, however, that the treatment of any Appraisal Reduction Amount as a Realized Loss shall not reduce the Certificate Balances of any Class for the purpose of determining the Controlling Class, the Controlling Class Representative or the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder. The holders of the Class R-I Certificates, Class R-II Certificates, Class Z Certificates and Class WM Certificates will not be entitled to any Voting Rights. Voting Rights allocated to a Class of Certificates will be allocated among the related Certificateholders in proportion to the percentage interests in such Class evidenced by their respective Certificates. The Class A-1 Certificates, Class A-2 Certificates, Class A-PB Certificates, Class A-3 Certificates and Class A-1A Certificates and Class A-3FL Regular Interest will be treated as one Class for determining the Controlling Class. In addition, if either the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is the holder of any Sequential Pay Certificate, neither of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, in its capacity as a Certificateholder, will have Voting Rights with respect to matters concerning compensation affecting the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer. See ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE CERTIFICATES—Voting Rights’’ in the accompanying prospectus.
Termination
The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement will terminate following the earlier of (i) the final payment (or advance in respect thereof) or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan or REO Property, and (ii) the purchase of all of the Mortgage Loans (including The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component) and all of the REO Properties, if any, remaining in the Trust Fund by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or any single Certificateholder (so long as such Certificateholder is not an affiliate of the Depositor or a Mortgage Loan Seller) that is entitled to greater than 50% of the Voting Rights allocated to the Class of Sequential Pay Certificates with the lowest payment priority then outstanding (or if no Certificateholder is entitled to greater than 50% of the Voting Rights of such Class, the Certificateholder with the largest percentage of Voting Rights allocated to such Class) (the ‘‘Majority Subordinate Certificateholder’’) and distribution or provision for distribution thereof to the Certificateholders. Certain of the parties purchasing the assets of the Trust Fund mentioned above may be affiliates of the Depositor, the Sponsors, the Master Servicer or the Trustee. Written notice of termination of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement will be given to each Certificateholder, and the final distribution will be made only upon surrender and cancellation of the Certificates at the office of the Trustee or other registrar for the Certificates or at such other location as may be specified in such notice of termination.
S-215
Any such purchase by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder of all the Mortgage Loans and all of the REO Properties, if any, remaining in the Trust Fund is required to be made at a price equal to (i) the aggregate Purchase Price of all the Mortgage Loans (other than REO Loans) then included in the Trust Fund, plus (ii) the fair market value of all REO Properties then included in the Trust Fund, as determined by an independent appraiser selected by the Master Servicer and approved by the Trustee (which may be less than the Purchase Price for the corresponding REO Loan), minus (iii) if the purchaser is the Master Servicer, the aggregate of amounts payable or reimbursable to the Master Servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Such purchase will effect early retirement of the then outstanding Offered Certificates, but the right of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder to effect such purchase is subject to the requirement that the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans (including, with respect to The Woodlands Mall Loan, The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component) is less than 1% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance.
The purchase price paid in connection with the purchase of all Mortgage Loans and REO Properties remaining in the Trust Fund, exclusive of any portion thereof payable or reimbursable to any person other than the Certificateholders, will constitute part of the Available Distribution Amount for the final Distribution Date. The Available Distribution Amount for the final Distribution Date will be distributed by the Trustee generally as described under ‘‘—Distributions—Application of the Available Distribution Amount’’ in this prospectus supplement except that the distributions of principal on any Class of Sequential Pay Certificates and the Class A-3FL Regular Interest described thereunder will be made, subject to available funds and the distribution priorities described thereunder, in an amount equal to the entire Certificate Balance of such Class of Certificates or the Class A-3FL Regular Interest remaining outstanding.
An exchange by any Certificateholder of all of the then outstanding Certificates (other than the Class WM Certificates, the Class Z Certificates and the REMIC Residual Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund may be made: (i) if the then outstanding Certificates (other than the Class WM Certificates, the Class Z Certificates and the REMIC Residual Certificates) are held by a single Certificateholder, (ii) after the Class A-1 Certificates, Class A-2 Certificates, Class A-PB Certificates, Class A-3 Certificates, Class A-3FL Regular Interest, Class A-1A Certificates, Class A-M Certificates, Class A-J Certificates, Class B Certificates, Class C Certificates and Class D Certificates have been paid in full, and (iii) by giving written notice to each of the parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement no later than 30 days prior to the anticipated date of exchange; provided, however, that with respect to The Woodlands Mall Loan, contemporaneously with such exchange for the Mortgage Loans, the holder of the Class WM Certificates and such Certificateholder shall be required to enter into a participation and servicing agreement that provides the holder of the Class WM Certificates substantially the same rights as provided to The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in consideration for the Class WM Certificates. In the event that such Certificateholder elects to exchange its Certificates for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, such Certificateholder must deposit in the Certificate Account, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to all amounts then due and owing to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the REMIC Administrator and their respective agents under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The Trustee
Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (‘‘Wells Fargo Bank’’) is acting as trustee (the ‘‘Trustee’’) pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. See ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENTS—The Trustee’’, ‘‘—Duties of the Trustee’’, ‘‘—Certain Matters Regarding the Trustee’’ and ‘‘—Resignation and Removal of the Trustee’’ in the accompanying prospectus. Any expenses incurred in removing the Trustee and/or appointing a successor trustee will be Additional Trust Fund Expenses; provided, however, in the event that the Trustee is removed pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, or resigns or transfers its business, the Trustee shall bear all such expenses incurred by the Trust Fund in appointing a successor trustee; provided, however, if the Trustee is removed without cause, the removing party shall pay the expenses of appointing a successor trustee. As compensation for
S-216
its services, the Trustee will be entitled to receive monthly, from general funds on deposit in the Distribution Account, the Trustee Fee. The ‘‘Trustee Fee’’ for each Mortgage Loan and each REO Loan for any Distribution Date equals one month’s interest for the most recently ended calendar month (calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months), accrued at the Trustee Fee Rate on the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be, outstanding immediately following the prior Distribution Date (or, in the case of the initial Distribution Date, as of the Closing Date). The Trustee Fee Rate is a per annum rate set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In addition, the Trustee will be entitled to recover from the Trust Fund all reasonable unanticipated expenses and disbursements incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, but not including expenses incurred in the ordinary course of performing its duties as Trustee under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and not including any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith. The Trustee will not be entitled to any fee with respect to any Companion Loan. The Trustee also has certain duties with respect to REMIC Administration (in such capacity, the ‘‘REMIC Administrator’’). See ‘‘MATERIAL FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES—Federal Income Tax Consequences for REMIC Certificates—Taxation of Owners of REMIC Residual Certificates’’ and ‘‘—Reporting and Other Administrative Matters’’ in the accompanying prospectus.
The Trustee and any director, officer, employee, affiliate, agent or ‘‘control’’ person within the meaning of the Securities Act of the Trustee will be entitled to be indemnified for and held harmless by the Trust Fund against any loss, liability or reasonable ‘‘out-of-pocket’’ expense (including, without limitation, costs and expenses of litigation, and of investigation, counsel fees, damages, judgments and amounts paid in settlement) arising out of, or incurred in connection with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Mortgage Loans or the Certificates or any act of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer taken on behalf of the Trustee as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; provided that such expense is an ‘‘unanticipated expense incurred by the REMIC’’ within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii); provided, further, that neither the Trustee, nor any of the other above specified persons will be entitled to indemnification pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for (1) any liability specifically required to be borne thereby pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, or (2) any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of the Trustee’s obligations and duties under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, or by reason of its negligent disregard of such obligations and duties, or as may arise from a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of the Trustee, as applicable, made in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Wells Fargo Bank is a national banking association and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo & Company, a diversified financial services company with approximately $482 billion in assets, 23 million customers and 153,000 employees, as of December 31, 2005, Wells Fargo & Company is among the leading U.S. bank holding companies, providing banking, insurance, trust, mortgage and consumer finance services throughout the United States. Wells Fargo Bank provides retail and commercial banking services and corporate trust, custody, securities lending, securities transfer, cash management, investment management and other financial and fiduciary services. The Depositor, the Sponsors, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Mortgage Loan Sellers may maintain banking and other commercial relationships with Wells Fargo Bank and its affiliates. The Trustee has served as loan file custodian for various mortgage loans owned by the Sponsors, including for Mortgage Loans included in the Trust Fund. The terms of the custodial agreements are customary for the commercial mortgage-backed securities industry and provide for the delivery, receipt, review and safekeeping of mortgage loan files. The terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to the custody of the Mortgage Loans supersede any such custodial agreement. Wells Fargo Bank’s principal corporate trust offices are located at 9062 Old Annapolis Road, Columbia, Maryland 21045-1951 and its office for certificate transfer services is located at Sixth Street and Marquette Avenue, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55479-0113.
Under the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trustee is also responsible for securities administration, which includes pool performance calculations, distribution calculations and the preparation of monthly distribution reports. In addition, the Trustee is responsible for the preparation of all REMIC tax returns on behalf of each REMIC included in the Trust Fund and the preparation of
S-217
monthly distribution reports on Form 10-D, annual reports on Form 10-K and current reports on Form 8-K that are required to be filed with the SEC on behalf of the Trust Fund.
Wells Fargo Bank has provided corporate trust services since 1934. Wells Fargo Bank acts as a trustee for a variety of transactions and asset types, including corporate and municipal bonds, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities and collateralized debt obligations. As of March 31, 2006, Wells Fargo Bank was acting as trustee on more than 260 series of commercial mortgage-backed securities with an aggregate principal balance of approximately $230 billion.
In its capacity as trustee on commercial mortgage securitizations, Wells Fargo Bank is generally required to make an advance if the related master servicer or special servicer fails to make a required advance. In the past three years, Wells Fargo Bank has not been required to make an advance on a commercial mortgage-backed securities transaction.
The Trustee is also authorized to invest or direct the investment of funds held in the Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Additional Interest Account and the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account maintained by it that relate to the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties, as the case may be, in certain short-term United States government securities and certain other permitted investment grade obligations, and the Trustee will be entitled to retain any interest or other income earned on such funds held in those accounts maintained by it, but shall be required to cover any losses on investments of funds held in those accounts maintained by it, from its own funds without any right to reimbursement, except in certain limited circumstances described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

YIELD AND MATURITY CONSIDERATIONS
Yield Considerations
General. The yield on any Offered Certificate will depend on, among other things, (a) the price at which such Certificate is purchased by an investor and (b) the rate, timing and amount of distributions on such Certificate. The rate, timing and amount of distributions on any Offered Certificate will in turn depend on, among other things, (i) the Pass-Through Rate for such Certificate, (ii) the rate and timing of principal payments (including principal prepayments) and other principal collections on the Mortgage Loans and the extent to which such amounts are to be applied in reduction of the Certificate Balance, (iii) the rate, timing and severity of Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund Expenses and the extent to which such losses and expenses are allocable in reduction of the Certificate Balance, and (iv) the timing and severity of any Net Aggregate Prepayment Interest Shortfalls and the extent to which such shortfalls allocable are in reduction of the Distributable Certificate Interest payable on the related Class.
Rate and Timing of Principal Payment. The yield to holders of any Offered Certificates (other than the Class X-P Certificates) purchased at a discount or premium will be affected by the rate and timing of principal payments made in reduction of the Certificate Balance of any Class of Sequential Pay Certificates. As described in this prospectus supplement, the Loan Group 1 Principal Distribution Amount (and, after the Class A-1A Certificates have been retired, any remaining Loan Group 2 Principal Distribution Amount) for each Distribution Date will generally be distributable first to reduce the Certificate Balance of the Class A-PB Certificates to the Class A-PB Planned Principal Balance, then, to the Class A-1 Certificates until the Certificate Balance thereof is reduced to zero, then, to the Class A-2 Certificates until the Certificate Balance thereof is reduced to zero, then, pro rata, to the Class A-3 Certificates and the Class A-3FL Regular Interest until the Certificate Balances thereof are reduced to zero and then, to the Class A-PB Certificates until the Certificate Balance thereof is reduced to zero. The Loan Group 2 Principal Distribution Amount (and, after the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-PB and Class A-3 Certificates and the Class A-3FL Regular Interest have been retired, any remaining Loan Group 1 Principal Distribution Amount) for each Distribution Date will generally be distributable first to the Class A-1A Certificates. After those distributions, the remaining Principal Distribution Amount with respect to the Mortgage Pool will generally be distributable entirely in respect of the Class A-M Certificates, Class A-J Certificates, Class B Certificates, Class C Certificates, Class D Certificates, and then the Non-Offered Certificates (other than the Class A-3FL Certificates, Class X-C Certificates, the Class WM Certificates, and Class Z Certificates), in that order, in each case until the Certificate Balance of such Class of Certificates is reduced to zero. Consequently, the rate and timing of principal payments that are distributed or otherwise result in reduction of the Certificate Balance of any Class of Offered Certificates and the Class A-3FL Regular Interest, will be directly related to the rate and timing of principal payments on or in respect of the Mortgage Loans, which will in turn be affected by the amortization schedules thereof, the dates on which Balloon Payments are due, any extension of maturity dates by the Master Servicer, and the rate and timing of principal prepayments and other unscheduled collections thereon (including for this purpose, collections made in connection with liquidations of Mortgage Loans due to defaults, casualties or condemnations affecting the Mortgaged Properties, or purchases of Mortgage Loans out of the Trust Fund). Furthermore, because the amount of principal that will be distributed to the Class A-1 Certificates, Class A-2 Certificates, Class A-PB Certificates, Class A-3 Certificates, Class A-3FL Regular Interest and Class A-1A Certificates will generally be based upon the particular Loan Group that the related Mortgage Loan is deemed to be in, the yield on the Class A-1 Certificates, Class A-2 Certificates, Class A-PB Certificates, Class A-3 Certificates and the Class A-3FL Regular Interest will be particularly sensitive to prepayments on Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 1 and the yield on the Class A-1A Certificates will be particularly sensitive to prepayments on Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 2. With respect to the Class A-PB Certificates, the extent to which the planned balances are achieved and the sensitivity of the Class A-PB Certificates to principal prepayments on the Mortgage Loans will depend in part on the period of time during which the Class A-1 Certificates, Class A-2 Certificates, Class A-3 Certificates, Class A-1A Certificates and Class A-3FL Regular Interest remain outstanding. In particular, once such Classes of Certificates are no longer outstanding, any remaining portion on any Distribution Date of the Loan Group 1 Principal Distribution Amount and/or Loan Group 2 Principal Distribution Amount, as applicable, will be distributed on the Class A-PB Certificates until the Certificate Balance of
S-219
the Class A-PB Certificates is reduced to zero. Accordingly, the Class A-PB Certificates will become more sensitive to the rate of prepayments on the Mortgage Loans than they were when the Class A-1 Certificates, Class A-2 Certificates, Class A-3 Certificates, Class A-3FL Regular Interest and Class A-1A Certificates were outstanding. In addition, although the borrowers under ARD Loans may have certain incentives to repay ARD Loans on their Anticipated Repayment Dates, there can be no assurance that the related borrowers will be able to repay the ARD Loans on their Anticipated Repayment Date. The failure of a borrower to repay the ARD Loans on their Anticipated Repayment Dates will not be an event of default under the terms of the ARD Loans, and pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be permitted to take any enforcement action with respect to a borrower’s failure to pay Additional Interest or principal in excess of the principal component of the constant Periodic Payment, other than requests for collection, until the scheduled maturity of the ARD Loans; provided that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may take action to enforce the Trust Fund’s right to apply Excess Cash Flow to principal in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents.
In addition, if the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, reimburses itself out of general collections on the Mortgage Pool for any Advance that it or the Special Servicer has determined is not recoverable out of collections on the related Mortgage Loan, then that Advance (together with accrued interest thereon) will be deemed, to the fullest extent permitted, to be reimbursed first out of the Principal Distribution Amount otherwise distributable on the Certificates (prior to being deemed reimbursed out of payments and other collections of interest on the underlying Mortgage Loans otherwise distributable on the Certificates), thereby reducing the Principal Distribution Amount of the Offered Certificates. Any such reduction in the amount distributed as principal of the Certificates may adversely affect the weighted average lives and yields to maturity of one or more Classes of Certificates and, after a Final Recovery Determination has been made, will create Realized Losses.
Prepayments and, assuming the respective stated maturity dates therefor have not occurred, liquidations and purchases of the Mortgage Loans, will result in distributions on the Certificates of amounts that would otherwise be distributed over the remaining terms of the Mortgage Loans. Defaults on the Mortgage Loans, particularly at or near their stated maturity dates, may result in significant delays in payments of principal on the Mortgage Loans (and, accordingly, on the Offered Certificates that are Sequential Pay Certificates) while work-outs are negotiated or foreclosures are completed. See ‘‘SERVICING OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS—Modifications, Waivers and Amendments’’ in this prospectus supplement and ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENTS —Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans’’ and ‘‘CERTAIN LEGAL ASPECTS OF MORTGAGE LOANS AND LEASES—Foreclosure’’ in the accompanying prospectus.
The extent to which the yield to maturity of any Class of Offered Certificates (other than the Class X-P Certificates) may vary from the anticipated yield will depend upon the degree to which such Certificates are purchased at a discount or premium and when, and to what degree, payments of principal on the Mortgage Loans (and which of the Loan Groups such Mortgage Loan is deemed to be in) with respect to the Class A-1 Certificates, Class A-2 Certificates, Class A-PB Certificates, Class A-3 Certificates and Class A-1A Certificates and the Class A-3FL Regular Interest in turn are distributed or otherwise result in reduction of the Certificate Balance of such Certificates. An investor should consider, in the case of any Offered Certificate (other than the Class X-P Certificates) purchased at a discount, the risk that a slower than anticipated rate of principal payments on the Mortgage Loans could result in an actual yield to such investor that is lower than the anticipated yield and, in the case of any Offered Certificate (other than the Class X-P Certificates) purchased at a premium, the risk that a faster than anticipated rate of principal payments could result in an actual yield to such investor that is lower than the anticipated yield. In general, the earlier a payment of principal on the Mortgage Loans is distributed to or otherwise results in reduction of the principal balance of an Offered Certificate (other than the Class X-P Certificates) purchased at a discount or premium, the greater will be the effect on an investor’s yield to maturity. As a result, the effect on an investor’s yield of principal payments on the Mortgage Loans and in particular in the case of the Class A-1A Certificates, on the Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 2 occurring at a rate higher (or lower) than the rate anticipated by the investor during any particular period would not be fully offset by a subsequent like reduction (or increase) in the rate of such principal payments.
S-220
Because the rate of principal payments on the Mortgage Loans will depend on future events and a variety of factors (as described more fully below), no assurance can be given as to such rate or the rate of principal prepayments in particular. The Depositor is not aware of any relevant publicly available or authoritative statistics with respect to the historical prepayment experience of a large group of mortgage loans comparable to the Mortgage Loans.
Losses and Shortfalls. The yield to holders of the Offered Certificates will also depend on the extent to which such holders are required to bear the effects of any losses or shortfalls on the Mortgage Loans. Losses and other shortfalls on the Mortgage Loans will, with the exception of any Net Aggregate Prepayment Interest Shortfalls, generally be borne by the holders of The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component, with respect to The Woodlands Mall Loan, and with respect to all other Mortgage Loans and The Woodlands Mall Pooled Component by the holders of the respective Classes of Sequential Pay Certificates (other than the Class A-1 Certificates, Class A-2 Certificates, Class A-PB Certificates, Class A-3 Certificates, Class A-1A Certificates and the Class A-3FL Certificates which share such losses and shortfalls pro rata) to the extent of amounts otherwise distributable in respect of such Certificates, in reverse order of payment priority. Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund Expenses will be allocated, as and to the extent described in this prospectus supplement, to the holders of The Woodlands Mall Non-Pooled Component, with respect to The Woodlands Mall Loan, and with respect to all other Mortgage Loans and The Woodlands Mall Pooled Component to the holders of the respective Classes of Sequential Pay Certificates (other than the Class A-1 Certificates, Class A-2 Certificates, Class A-PB Certificates, Class A-3 Certificates, Class A-3FL Certificates and Class A-1A Certificates) (in reduction of the Certificate Balance of each such Class), in reverse payment priorities. In the event of a reduction of the Certificate Balances of all such Classes of Certificates, such losses and shortfalls will then be borne, pro rata, by the Class A-1 Certificates, Class A-2 Certificates, Class A-PB Certificates, Class A-3 Certificates, Class A-1A Certificates and the Class A-3FL Regular Interest (and the Class X Certificates with respect to shortfalls of interest). As more fully described under ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE CERTIFICATES—Distributions—Distributable Certificate Interest’’ in this prospectus supplement, Net Aggregate Prepayment Interest Shortfalls will generally be borne by the respective Classes of REMIC Regular Certificates (other than the Class X Certificates and the Class WM Certificates) on a pro rata basis.
Pass-Through Rate. The yield on the Class A-3 Certificates, Class A-1A Certificates, Class A-M Certificates, Class A-J Certificates, Class B Certificates, Class C Certificates and Class D Certificates could be adversely affected if Mortgage Loans with higher interest rates pay faster than Mortgage Loans with lower interest rates since these Classes bear interest at a rate limited by, based upon, or equal to, the Weighted Average Net Mortgage Rate of the Mortgage Loans.
Certain Relevant Factors. The rate and timing of principal payments and defaults and the severity of losses on the Mortgage Loans may be affected by a number of factors, including, without limitation, prevailing interest rates, the terms of the Mortgage Loans (for example, due-on-sale clauses, Lockout Periods, provisions requiring the payment of Prepayment Premiums, Yield Maintenance Charges and amortization terms that require Balloon Payments), the demographics and relative economic vitality of the areas in which the Mortgaged Properties are located and the general supply and demand for rental units, hotel/motel guest rooms, health care facility beds, mobile home park pads or comparable commercial space, as applicable, in such areas, the quality of management of the Mortgaged Properties, the servicing of the Mortgage Loans, possible changes in tax laws and other opportunities for investment. See ‘‘RISK FACTORS—The Offered Certificates—Prepayments Will Affect Your Yield’’ and ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE MORTGAGE POOL’’ in this prospectus supplement and ‘‘YIELD CONSIDERATIONS—Prepayment Considerations’’ in the accompanying prospectus.
The rate of prepayment on the Mortgage Pool is likely to be affected by prevailing market interest rates for mortgage loans of a comparable type, term and risk level. When the prevailing market interest rate is below a mortgage interest rate, the related borrower may have an incentive to refinance its mortgage loan. As of the Cut-Off Date, all of the Mortgage Loans (except 5 Mortgage Loans, representing 3.3% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance, which may be prepaid with a Yield Maintenance Charge as of the Closing Date) may be prepaid at any time after the expiration of any applicable Lockout Period, subject, in some cases, to the payment of a Prepayment Premium or a Yield Maintenance Charge.
S-221
A requirement that a prepayment be accompanied by a Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge may not provide a sufficient economic disincentive to deter a borrower from refinancing at a more favorable interest rate.
Depending on prevailing market interest rates, the outlook for market interest rates and economic conditions generally, some borrowers may sell or refinance Mortgaged Properties in order to realize their equity therein, to meet cash flow needs or to make other investments. In addition, some borrowers may be motivated by federal and state tax laws (which are subject to change) to sell Mortgaged Properties prior to the exhaustion of tax depreciation benefits.
The Depositor makes no representation as to the particular factors that will affect the rate and timing of prepayments and defaults on the Mortgage Loans, as to the relative importance of such factors, as to the percentage of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loans that will be prepaid or as to whether a default will have occurred as of any date or as to the overall rate of prepayment or default on the Mortgage Loans.
Delay in Payment of Distributions. Because monthly distributions will not be made to Certificateholders until a date that is scheduled to be up to 15 days following the Due Dates for the Mortgage Loans during the related Collection Period, the effective yield to the holders of the Offered Certificates will be lower than the yield that would otherwise be produced by the applicable Pass-Through Rates and purchase prices (assuming such prices did not account for such delay).
Unpaid Distributable Certificate Interest. As described under ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE CERTIFICATES—Distributions—Application of the Available Distribution Amount’’ in this prospectus supplement, if the portion of the Available Distribution Amount distributable in respect of interest on any Class of Offered Certificates or the Class A-3FL Regular Interest on any Distribution Date is less than the Distributable Certificate Interest then payable for such Class of Certificates or the Class A-3FL Regular Interest, the shortfall will be distributable to holders of such Class of Certificates or the Class A-3FL Regular Interest, on subsequent Distribution Dates, to the extent of available funds. Any such shortfall will not bear interest, however, and will therefore negatively affect the yield to maturity of such Class of Certificates for so long as it is outstanding.
Optional Termination. Any optional termination of the Trust Fund would have an effect similar to a prepayment in full of the Mortgage Loans (without, however, the payment of any Prepayment Premiums or Yield Maintenance Charges) and, as a result, investors in any Certificates purchased at a premium might not fully recoup their initial investment. See ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE CERTIFICATES —Termination’’ in this prospectus supplement.
Yield Sensitivity of the Class X-P Certificates. The yield to maturity on the Class X-P Certificates will be extremely sensitive to the rate and timing of principal payments (including by reason of prepayments, defaults and liquidations) to the extent deemed to reduce the components comprising the Notional Amount of such Class and interest rate reductions on the Mortgage Loans. Accordingly, investors in the Class X-P Certificates should fully consider the associated risks, including the risk that a rapid rate of prepayment of the Mortgage Loans could result in the failure of such investors to fully recoup their initial investments. The allocation of a portion of collected Yield Maintenance Charges and Prepayment Premiums to the Class X-P Certificates is intended to reduce those risks with respect to such Class; however, such allocation may be insufficient to offset fully the adverse effects on the yields on such Class of Certificates that the related prepayments may otherwise have. See ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE MORTGAGE POOL—Certain Terms and Conditions of the Mortgage Loans—Prepayment Provisions’’ in this prospectus supplement.
Any optional termination of the Trust Fund would result in prepayment in full of the Certificates and would have an adverse effect on the yield of the Class X-P Certificates to the extent the related components remained outstanding because a termination would have an effect similar to a prepayment in full of the Mortgage Loans (without, however, the payment of any Yield Maintenance Charges or Prepayment Premiums) and, as a result, investors in the Class X-P Certificates might not fully recoup their initial investment. See ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE CERTIFICATES—Termination’’ in this prospectus supplement.
S-222
The table below indicates the sensitivity of the pre-tax corporate bond equivalent yields to maturity of the Class X-P Certificates at various prices and constant prepayment rates. The allocation and calculations take account of any Prepayment Premiums or Yield Maintenance Charges. The yields set forth in the table were calculated by determining the monthly discount rates that, when applied to the assumed stream of cash flows to be paid on the Class X-P Certificates, would cause the discounted present value of such assumed stream of cash flows to equal the assumed purchase prices plus accrued interest of such Class of Certificates and converting such monthly rates to corporate bond equivalent rates. Such calculations do not take into account variations that may occur in the interest rates at which investors may be able to reinvest funds received by them as distributions on the Class X-P Certificates and consequently do not purport to reflect the return on any investment in the Class X-P Certificates when such reinvestment rates are considered.
The table below has been prepared based on the assumption that distributions are made in accordance with ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE CERTIFICATES—Distributions’’ and on the Table Assumptions in this prospectus supplement and with the assumed respective purchase prices (as a percentage of the Notional Amount of the Class X-P Certificates) of the Class X-P Certificates set forth in the table relating to such Class, plus accrued interest thereon from June 1, 2006 to the Closing Date and on the additional assumption that the Pass-Through Rates for all of the Sequential Pay Certificates are as stated on page S-7 of this prospectus supplement and that the maturity of the Class X-P Certificates will occur on the first Distribution Date on which the Trust Fund is subject to early termination.

There can be no assurance that the Mortgage Loans will prepay at any of the rates shown in the table or at any other particular rate, that the cash flows on the Class X-P Certificates will correspond to the cash flows assumed for purposes of the above table or that the aggregate purchase price of the Class X-P Certificates will be as assumed. In addition, it is unlikely that the Mortgage Loans will prepay at any of the specified percentages of CPR until maturity or that all the Mortgage Loans will so prepay at the same rate. Timing of changes in the rate of prepayments may significantly affect the actual yield to maturity to investors, even if the average rate of principal prepayments is consistent with the expectations of investors. Investors must make their own decisions as to the appropriate prepayment assumptions to be used in deciding whether to purchase the Class X-P Certificates.

The weighted average life of any Class A-1 Certificates, Class A-2 Certificates, Class A-PB Certificates, Class A-3 Certificates, Class A-1A Certificates, Class A-M Certificates, Class A-J Certificates, Class B Certificates, Class C Certificates and Class D Certificates refers to the average amount of time that will elapse from the assumed Closing Date until each dollar allocable to principal of such Certificate is distributed to the investor. The weighted average life of any such Offered Certificate will be influenced by, among other things, the rate at which principal on the Mortgage Loans is paid or otherwise collected or advanced and applied to pay principal of such Offered Certificate, which may be in the form of scheduled amortization, voluntary prepayments, insurance and condemnation proceeds and liquidation

proceeds. As described in this prospectus supplement, the Loan Group 1 Principal Distribution Amount (and, after the Class A-1A Certificates have been retired, any remaining Loan Group 2 Principal Distribution Amount) for each Distribution Date will generally be distributable first to reduce the Certificate Balance of the Class A-PB Certificates to the Class A-PB Planned Principal Balance, then, to the Class A-1 Certificates until the Certificate Balance thereof is reduced to zero, then, to the Class A-2 Certificates until the Certificate Balance thereof is reduced to zero, then, pro rata,to the Class A-3 Certificates and the Class A-3FL Regular Interest, until the Certificate Balances thereof are reduced to zero, and then, to the Class A-PB Certificates until the Certificate Balance thereof is reduced to zero. The Loan Group 2 Principal Distribution Amount (and, after the Class A-1 Certificates, Class A-2 Certificates, Class A-PB Certificates and Class A-3 Certificates and the Class A-3FL Regular Interest have been retired, any remaining Loan Group 1 Principal Distribution Amount) for each Distribution Date will generally be distributable first to the Class A-1A Certificates. After those distributions, the remaining Principal Distribution Amount with respect to the Mortgage Pool will generally be distributable entirely in respect of the Class A-M Certificates, Class A-J Certificates, the Class B Certificates, the Class C Certificates and the Class D Certificates in that order, in each case until the Certificate Balance of such Class of Certificates, is reduced to zero.
The tables below indicate the percentage of the initial Certificate Balance of each Class of Offered Certificates that would be outstanding after each of the dates shown and the corresponding weighted average life of each such Class of Offered Certificates. To the extent that the Mortgage Loans or the Certificates have characteristics that differ from those assumed in preparing the tables, the Class A-1 Certificates, Class A-2 Certificates, Class A-PB Certificates, Class A-3 Certificates, Class A-1A Certificates, Class A-M Certificates, Class A-J Certificates, Class B Certificates, Class C Certificates and Class D Certificates and the Class A-3FL Regular Interest may mature earlier or later than indicated by the tables. With respect to the Class A-PB Certificates, although based on the Table Assumptions (as defined below), the Certificate Balance of the Class A-PB Certificates on each Distribution Date would be reduced to the Class A-PB Planned Principal Amount for such Distribution Date, there is no assurance that the Mortgage Loans will perform in conformity with the Table Assumptions. Therefore, there can be no assurance that the Certificate Balance of the Class A-PB Certificates on any Distribution Date will be equal to the balance that is specified for such Distribution Date in the table. In particular, once the Certificate Balances of the Class A-1A Certificates, the Class A-1 Certificates, the Class A-2 Certificates, the Class A-3 Certificates and the Class A-3FL Regular Interest have been reduced to zero, any remaining portion on any Distribution Date of the Loan Group 1 Principal Distribution Amount and/or Loan Group 2 Principal Distribution Amount, as applicable, will be distributed on the Class A-PB Certificates until the Certificate Balance of the Class A-PB Certificates is reduced to zero. Accordingly, the Mortgage Loans will not prepay at any constant rate nor will the Mortgage Loans prepay at the same rate, and it is highly unlikely that the Mortgage Loans will prepay in a manner consistent with the assumptions described above. In addition, variations in the actual prepayment experience and in the balance of the Mortgage Loans that actually prepay may increase or decrease the percentages of initial Certificate Balances (and shorten or extend the weighted average lives) shown in the following tables. Investors are urged to conduct their own analyses of the rates at which the Mortgage Loans may be expected to prepay.
Prepayments on mortgage loans may be measured by a prepayment standard or model. The model used in this prospectus supplement is the ‘‘Constant Prepayment Rate’’ or ‘‘CPR’’ model. The CPR model represents an assumed constant annual rate of prepayment each month, expressed as a per annum percentage of the then scheduled principal balance of the pool of mortgage loans. As used in the tables set forth below, the column headed ‘‘0% CPR’’ assumes that none of the Mortgage Loans is prepaid in whole or in part before maturity or the Anticipated Repayment Date, as the case may be. The columns headed ‘‘25% CPR’’, ‘‘50% CPR’’, ‘‘75% CPR’’ and ‘‘100% CPR’’, respectively, assume that prepayments are made each month at those levels of CPR on the Mortgage Loans that are eligible for prepayment under the Table Assumptions set forth in the next paragraph (each such scenario, a ‘‘Scenario’’). There is no assurance, however, that prepayments on the Mortgage Loans will conform to any level of CPR, and no representation is made that the Mortgage Loans will prepay at the levels of CPR shown or at any other prepayment rate.

The tables below were derived from calculations based on the following assumptions (the ‘‘Table Assumptions’’): (i) no Mortgage Loan prepays during any applicable Lockout Period or any period during which Defeasance Collateral is permitted or required to be pledged or any period during which a yield maintenance charge is required (otherwise, in the case of each table, each Mortgage Loan is assumed to prepay at the indicated level of CPR, with each prepayment being applied on the first day of the applicable month in which it is assumed to be received), (ii) the Pass-Through Rates and initial Certificate Balances of the respective Classes of Sequential Pay Certificates are as described in this prospectus supplement, (iii) there are no delinquencies or defaults with respect to, and no modifications, waivers or amendments of the terms of, the Mortgage Loans, (iv) there are no Realized Losses, Additional Trust Fund Expenses or Appraisal Reduction Amounts with respect to the Mortgage Loans or the Trust Fund, (v) scheduled interest and principal payments on the Mortgage Loans are timely received, (vi) ARD Loans pay in full on their Anticipated Repayment Dates, (vii) all Mortgage Loans have Due Dates on the first day of each month and accrue interest on the respective basis described in this prospectus supplement (i.e., a 30/360 basis or an Actual/360 basis), (viii) all prepayments are accompanied by a full month’s interest and there are no Prepayment Interest Shortfalls, (ix) there are no breaches of the Mortgage Loan Sellers’ representations and warranties regarding its Mortgage Loans, (x) all applicable Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges are collected, (xi) no party entitled thereto exercises its right of optional termination of the Trust Fund and no party entitled thereto will exercise its option to purchase any Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund described in this prospectus supplement, (xii) the borrowers under any Mortgage Loans which permit the borrower to choose between defeasance or a yield maintenance charge choose to be subject to a yield maintenance charge, (xiii) distributions on the Certificates are made on the 15th day (each assumed to be a business day) of each month, commencing in July 2006 and (xiv) the Closing Date for the sale of the Offered Certificates is June 29, 2006.
The tables set forth below indicate the resulting weighted average lives of each Class of Offered Certificates and set forth the percentages of the initial Certificate Balance of such Class of Offered Certificates that would be outstanding after each of the dates shown in each case assuming the indicated level of CPR. For purposes of the following tables, the weighted average life of an Offered Certificate is determined by (i) multiplying the amount of each principal distribution thereon by the number of years from the assumed Closing Date of such Certificate to the related Distribution Date, (ii) summing the results and (iii) dividing the sum by the aggregate amount of the reductions in the principal balance of such Certificate.

Effect of Loan Groups
Generally, the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class APB and Class A-3 Certificates and the Class A-3FL Regular Interest will only be entitled to receive distributions of principal collected or advanced with respect to the Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 1 until the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A-1A Certificates has been reduced to zero, and the Class A-1A Certificates will only be entitled to receive distributions of principal collected or advanced in respect of the Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 2 until the Certificate Principal Balances of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-PB and Class A-3 Certificates and the Class A-3FL Regular Interest have been reduced to zero. Accordingly, holders of the Class A-1A Certificates will be greatly affected by the rate and timing of payments and other collections of principal on the Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 2 and, in the absence of losses, should be largely unaffected by the rate and timing of payments and other collections of principal on the Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 1. Investors should take this into account when reviewing this ‘‘YIELD AND MATURITY CONSIDERATIONS’’ section.
S-229
MATERIAL FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
General
The following summary of the anticipated material federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of Offered Certificates is based on the advice of Dechert LLP, counsel to the Depositor. This summary is based on laws, regulations, including the REMIC regulations promulgated by the Treasury Department (the ‘‘REMIC Regulations’’), rulings and decisions now in effect or (with respect to the regulations) proposed, all of which are subject to change either prospectively or retroactively. This summary does not address the federal income tax consequences of an investment in Offered Certificates applicable to all categories of investors, some of which (for example, banks and insurance companies) may be subject to special rules. Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the federal, state, local and other tax consequences to them of the purchase, ownership and disposition of Offered Certificates.
For federal income tax purposes, two separate REMIC elections (‘‘REMIC I’’ and ‘‘REMIC II’’) will be made with respect to segregated asset pools that make up the Trust Fund, other than The Woodlands Mall Loan and any Additional Interest on the ARD Loans. In addition, a separate REMIC election (‘‘The Woodlands Mall Loan REMIC’’) will be made with respect to The Woodlands Mall Loan (other than any related Additional Interest). Upon the issuance of the Offered Certificates, Dechert LLP will deliver its opinion generally to the effect that, assuming (1) the making of appropriate elections, (2) compliance with all provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and (3) compliance with applicable changes in the Code, for federal income tax purposes, each such REMIC will qualify as a REMIC under the Code. For federal income tax purposes, the REMIC Regular Certificates (excluding the Class A-3FL Certificates) will represent ownership of the ‘‘regular interests’’ in one of such REMICs and generally will be treated as newly originated debt instruments of such REMIC. See ‘‘MATERIAL FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES—Federal Income Tax Consequences for REMIC Certificates—REMICs’’ in the accompanying prospectus. The portion of the Trust Fund consisting of Additional Interest and the Additional Interest Account will be treated as two grantor trusts for federal income tax purposes, and the Class Z Certificates will represent undivided beneficial interests in one of the grantor trusts. See ‘‘MATERIAL FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES—Federal Income Tax Consequences for REMIC Certificates—REMICs’’ and ‘‘—Federal Income Tax Consequences for Certificates as to Which No REMIC Election Is Made’’ in the accompanying prospectus.
Taxation of the Offered Certificates
Based on expected issue prices, it is anticipated that the Class Certificates will be treated as having been issued at a premium, the Class X-P Certificates will be issued with original issue discount and that the Class Certificates will be treated as having been issued with a de minimis amount of original issue discount for federal income tax reporting purposes.
Whether any holder of a Class of Offered Certificates will be treated as holding a Certificate with amortizable bond premium will depend on such Certificateholder’s purchase price and the distributions remaining to be made on such Certificate at the time of its acquisition by such Certificateholder. Holders of each such Class of Certificates should consult their own tax advisors regarding the possibility of making an election to amortize such premium. See ‘‘MATERIAL FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES —Federal Income Tax Consequences for REMIC Certificates—Taxation of Owners of REMIC Regular Certificates—Premium’’ in the accompanying prospectus.
The prepayment assumption that will be used in determining the rate of accrual of original issue discount, if any, or amortization of amortizable bond premium for federal income tax purposes will be based on the assumption that subsequent to the date of any determination the Mortgage Loans will pay at a rate equal to a CPR of 0%, except that it is assumed that the ARD Loans will pay their respective outstanding principal balances on their related Anticipated Repayment Dates. No representation is made that the Mortgage Loans will pay at that rate or at any other rate. See ‘‘MATERIAL FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES—Federal Income Tax Consequences for REMIC Certificates— REMICs’’ and ‘‘—Taxation of Owners of REMIC Regular Certificates—Original Issue Discount’’ in the accompanying prospectus.

The Internal Revenue Service (the ‘‘IRS’’) has issued regulations (the ‘‘OID Regulations’’) under Sections 1271 to 1275 of the Code generally addressing the treatment of debt instruments issued with original issue discount. Purchasers of the Offered Certificates should be aware that the OID Regulations and Section 1272(a)(6) of the Code do not adequately address certain issues relevant to, or are not applicable to, securities such as the Offered Certificates. The OID Regulations in some circumstances permit the holder of a debt instrument to recognize original issue discount under a method that differs from that used by the issuer. Accordingly, it is possible that the holder of an Offered Certificate treated as issued with original issue discount may be able to select a method for recognizing original issue discount that differs from that used by the Trustee in preparing reports to the Certificateholders and the IRS. Prospective purchasers of Offered Certificates are advised to consult their tax advisors concerning the tax treatment of such Certificates.
Each holder of a Class X-P Certificate will be required to accrue interest and/or original issue discount in each taxable year on a current basis and on the assumption that no defaults, delinquencies or Realized Losses on Mortgage Loans will occur in any future period. As a result, the taxable interest and/or original issue discount income reported by the holder of a Class X-P Certificate could exceed the economic income actually received by the holder in a given taxable year, particularly in the early taxable years of the term of the Class X-P Certificates. Although the holder of a Class X-P Certificate would eventually recognize a loss or a reduction in income attributable to previously included interest and/or original issue discount income that, as the result of the subsequent occurrence of any defaults, delinquencies and Realized Losses, is ultimately not received, the law is unclear as to the timing and the character of any such eventual loss, deduction or reduction in income. Moreover, the present value of the taxes payable on such income may exceed the present value of the tax benefits associated with any such eventual loss, deduction or reduction in income, assuming no changes in tax rates, even if the income and loss are both ordinary in character.
The Offered Certificates will be treated as ‘‘real estate assets’’ within the meaning of Section 856(c)(5)(B) of the Code for a ‘‘real estate investment trust’’ (‘‘REIT’’). In addition, interest (including original issue discount) on the Offered Certificates will be interest described in Section 856(c)(3)(B) of the Code for a REIT. However, the Offered Certificates will generally only be considered assets described in Section 7701(a)(19)(C) of the Code for a domestic building and loan association to the extent that the Mortgage Loans are secured by multifamily properties (approximately 14.5% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance) and, accordingly, investment in the Offered Certificates may not be suitable for certain thrift institutions. Holders of the Offered Certificates should consult their own tax advisors as to whether the foregoing percentage or some other percentage applies to their Certificates. The Offered Certificates will not qualify under the foregoing sections to the extent of any Mortgage Loan that has been defeased with U.S. government obligations.
A portion of the Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges actually collected will be distributed to the holders of the Offered Certificates as described in this prospectus supplement. It is not entirely clear under the Code when the amount of a Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium should be taxed to the holder of an Offered Certificate, but it is not expected, for federal income tax reporting purposes, that Yield Maintenance Charges or Prepayment Premiums will be treated as giving rise to any income to the holders of the Offered Certificates prior to the Master Servicer’s actual receipt of a Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium, as the case may be. It is not entirely clear whether Yield Maintenance Charges or Prepayment Premiums give rise to ordinary income or capital gains and Certificateholders should consult their own tax advisors concerning this character issue and the treatment of Yield Maintenance Charges and Prepayment Premiums in general.

ERISA CONSIDERATIONS
The following description is general in nature, is not intended to be all-inclusive, is based on the law and practice in force at the date of this document and is subject to any subsequent changes therein. In view of the individual nature of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (‘‘ERISA’’), and Code consequences, each potential investor that is a Plan (as described below) is advised to consult its own legal advisor with respect to the specific ERISA and Code consequences of investing in the Offered Certificates and to make its own independent decision. The following is merely a summary and should not be construed as legal advice.
A fiduciary of any employee benefit plan or other retirement plan or arrangement, including individual retirement accounts and annuities, Keogh plans and collective investment funds, separate accounts and general accounts in which such plans, accounts or arrangements are invested, that is subject to ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (a ‘‘Plan’’) should carefully review with its legal advisors whether the purchase or holding of Offered Certificates could give rise to a transaction that is prohibited or is not otherwise permitted either under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or whether there exists any statutory or administrative exemption applicable thereto. Other employee benefit plans, including governmental plans (as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA) and church plans (as defined in Section 3(33) of ERISA and provided no election has been made under Section 410(d) of the Code), while not subject to the foregoing provisions of ERISA or the Code, may be subject to materially similar provisions of applicable federal, state or local law (‘‘Similar Law’’).
The US Department of Labor has issued individual exemptions to each of the Underwriters (Prohibited Transaction Exemption (‘‘PTE’’) 96-22 (April 3, 1996) to Wachovia Corporation, and its subsidiaries and its affiliates, which include Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC (‘‘Wachovia Securities’’), PTE 89-89 (October 17, 1989) to Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (‘‘Citigroup’’), PTE 89-88 (October 17, 1989) to Goldman, Sachs & Co. (‘‘Goldman Sachs’’), PTE 2002-19 (March 28, 2002) to J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. (‘‘JPMorgan Securities’’) and PTE 91-14 (February 22, 1991) to Lehman Brothers Inc. (‘‘Lehman’’) (each, an ‘‘Exemption’’ and collectively, the ‘‘Exemptions’’)), each of which generally exempts from the application of the prohibited transaction provisions of Sections 406(a) and (b) and 407(a) of ERISA, and the excise taxes imposed on such prohibited transactions pursuant to Sections 4975(a) and (b) of the Code, the purchase, sale and holding of mortgage pass-through certificates underwritten by an Underwriter, as hereinafter defined, provided that certain conditions set forth in the Exemptions are satisfied. For purposes of this discussion, the term ‘‘Underwriter’’ shall include (a) Wachovia Securities, (b) Citigroup, (c) Goldman Sachs, (d) JPMorgan Securities, (e) Lehman, (f) any person directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controlling, controlled by or under common control with Wachovia Securities, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Securities or Lehman and (g) any member of the underwriting syndicate or selling group of which Wachovia Securities, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Securities and Lehman or a person described in (f) is a manager or co-manager with respect to the Offered Certificates.
The obligations covered by the Exemptions include mortgage loans such as the Mortgage Loans. The Exemptions would apply to the acquisition, holding and resale of the Offered Certificates by a Plan only if specific conditions (certain of which are described below) are met. The Exemptions would not apply directly to governmental plans, certain church plans and other employee benefit plans that are not subject to the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA or the Code but that may be subject to Similar Law.
The Exemptions set forth five general conditions that, among others, must be satisfied for a transaction involving the purchase, sale and holding of the Offered Certificates by a Plan to be eligible for exemptive relief thereunder. First, the acquisition of the Offered Certificates by a Plan must be on terms, including the price paid for the Certificates, that are at least as favorable to the Plan as they would be in an arm’s-length transaction with an unrelated party. Second, the Offered Certificates at the time of acquisition by the Plan must be rated in one of the four highest generic rating categories by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. (‘‘S&P’’), Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (‘‘Moody’s’’) or Fitch, Inc. (‘‘Fitch’’) or any successor thereto (each, an ‘‘NRSRO’’). Third, the Trustee cannot be an affiliate of any other member of the Restricted Group, other than an Underwriter. The ‘‘Restricted Group’’ consists of each of the Underwriters, the Depositor, the Master
S-232
Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, any sub-servicer and any obligor with respect to Mortgage Loans constituting more than 5.0% of the aggregate unamortized principal balance of the Mortgage Loans (which include The Woodlands Mall Loan and the Prime Outlets Pool II Loan (the ‘‘Restricted Group Loans’’)) as of the date of initial issuance of the Offered Certificates, and any of their affiliates. Fourth, the sum of all payments made to and retained by any Underwriter in connection with the distribution or placement of the Offered Certificates must represent not more than reasonable compensation for underwriting such Certificates; the sum of all payments made to and retained by the Depositor pursuant to the assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Trust Fund must represent not more than the fair market value of such obligations; and the sum of all payments made to and retained by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or any sub-servicer must represent not more than reasonable compensation for such person’s services under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and reimbursement of such person’s reasonable expenses in connection therewith. Fifth, the investing Plan must be an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a)(1) of Regulation D of the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act.
A fiduciary of a Plan contemplating purchasing any Class of the Offered Certificates must make its own determination that, at the time of such purchase, such Certificates satisfy the general conditions set forth above.
The Exemptions also require that the Trust Fund meet the following requirements: (i) the Trust Fund must consist solely of assets of the type that have been included in other investment pools; (ii) certificates in such other investment pools must have been rated in one of the four highest generic rating categories by S&P, Moody’s or Fitch for at least one year prior to the Plan’s acquisition of the Offered Certificates; and (iii) certificates in such other investment pools must have been purchased by investors other than Plans for at least one year prior to any Plan’s acquisition of the Offered Certificates.
If the general conditions of the Exemptions are satisfied, the Exemptions may provide an exemption from the restrictions imposed by Sections 406(a) and 407(a) of ERISA (as well as the excise taxes imposed by Sections 4975(a) and (b) of the Code by reason of Sections 4975(c)(1)(A) through (D) of the Code) in connection with (i) the direct or indirect sale, exchange or transfer of the Offered Certificates in the initial issuance of Certificates between the Depositor or an Underwriter and a Plan when the Depositor, an Underwriter, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, a sub-servicer or an obligor with respect to Mortgage Loans is a ‘‘Party in Interest,’’ as defined in the accompanying prospectus, with respect to the investing Plan, (ii) the direct or indirect acquisition or disposition in the secondary market of the Offered Certificates by a Plan and (iii) the holding of Offered Certificates by a Plan. However, no exemption is provided from the restrictions of Sections 406(a)(1)(E), 406(a)(2) and 407 of ERISA for the acquisition or holding of the Offered Certificate on behalf of an ‘‘Excluded Plan’’ by any person who has discretionary authority or renders investment advice with respect to the assets of such Excluded Plan. For purposes hereof, an ‘‘Excluded Plan’’ is a Plan sponsored by any member of the Restricted Group.
If certain specific conditions of the Exemptions are also satisfied, each such Exemption may provide relief from the restrictions imposed by reason of Sections 406(b)(1) and (b)(2) of ERISA and the taxes imposed by Section 4975(c)(1)(E) of the Code to an obligor with respect to Mortgage Loans acting as a fiduciary with respect to the investment of a Plan’s assets in the Offered Certificates (or such obligor’s affiliate) only if, among other requirements (i) such obligor is an obligor with respect to 5% or less of the fair market value of the obligations or receivables contained in the Trust Fund (which excluded obligors on the Restricted Group Loans), (ii) the investing Plan is not an Excluded Plan, (iii) a Plan’s investment in each Class of the Offered Certificates does not exceed 25% of all of the Certificates of that Class outstanding at the time of the acquisition, (iv) immediately after the acquisition, no more than 25% of the assets of the Plan are invested in certificates representing an interest in trusts (including the Trust Fund) containing assets sold or serviced by the Depositor or the Master Servicer and (v) in the case of the acquisition of the Offered Certificates in connection with their initial issuance, at least 50% of each Class of Offered Certificates in which Plans have invested and at least 50% of the aggregate interest in the Trust Fund is acquired by persons independent of the Restricted Group.
The Exemptions also apply to transactions in connection with the servicing, management and operation of the Trust Fund; provided that, in addition to the general requirements described above,
S-233
(a) such transactions are carried out in accordance with the terms of a binding pooling and servicing agreement, (b) the pooling and servicing agreement is provided to, or described in all material respects in the accompanying prospectus or private placement memorandum provided to, investing Plans before their purchase of Certificates issued by the Trust Fund and (c) the terms and conditions for the defeasance of a mortgage obligation and substitution of a new mortgage obligation, as so described, have been approved by an NRSRO and do not result in any Offered Certificates receiving a lower credit rating from the NRSRO than the current rating. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement is a pooling and servicing agreement as defined in the Exemptions. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement provides that all transactions relating to the servicing, management and operations of the Trust Fund must be carried out in accordance with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Before purchasing any Class of Offered Certificate, a fiduciary of a Plan should itself confirm that the specific and general conditions of the Exemptions and the other requirements set forth in the Exemptions would be satisfied.
Any Plan fiduciary considering the purchase of Offered Certificates should consult with its counsel with respect to the applicability of the Exemptions and other issues and determine on its own whether all conditions have been satisfied and whether the Offered Certificates are an appropriate investment for a Plan under ERISA and the Code (or, in the case of governmental plans and certain church plans, under Similar Law) with regard to ERISA’s general fiduciary requirements, including investment prudence and diversification and the exclusive benefit rule. Each purchaser of the Offered Certificates with the assets of one or more Plans shall be deemed to represent that each such Plan qualifies as an ‘‘accredited investor’’ as defined in Rule 501(a)(1) of Regulation D under the Securities Act. No Plan may purchase or hold an interest in any Class of Offered Certificates unless (a) such Certificates are rated in one of the top four generic rating categories by at least one NRSRO at the time of such purchase or (b) such Plan is an insurance company general account that represents and warrants that it is eligible for, and meets all of the requirements of, Sections I and III of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60.
Persons who have an ongoing relationship with the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades Industry Pension Fund should note that this plan owns certain equity interests in certain borrowers. Such persons should consult with counsel regarding whether this relationship would affect their ability to purchase and hold certificates.
Persons who have an ongoing relationship with the New York State Common Retirement Fund or the Teachers’ Retirement System of the State of Illinois, each of which is a governmental plan, should note that this plan owns certain equity interests in certain borrowers. Such persons should consult with counsel regarding whether this relationship would affect their ability to purchase and hold Certificates.
THE SALE OF OFFERED CERTIFICATES TO A PLAN IS IN NO RESPECT A REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY BY THE DEPOSITOR, THE UNDERWRITERS OR ANY OTHER PERSON THAT THIS INVESTMENT MEETS ALL RELEVANT LEGAL REQUIREMENTS WITH RESPECT TO INVESTMENTS BY PLANS GENERALLY OR ANY PARTICULAR PLAN, THAT THE EXEMPTIONS WOULD APPLY TO THE ACQUISITION OF THIS INVESTMENT BY PLANS IN GENERAL OR ANY PARTICULAR PLAN, OR THAT THIS INVESTMENT IS APPROPRIATE FOR PLANS GENERALLY OR ANY PARTICULAR PLAN.
LEGAL INVESTMENT
The Offered Certificates will not constitute ‘‘mortgage related securities’’ for purposes of the Secondary Mortgage Market Enhancement Act of 1984, as amended. The appropriate characterization of the Offered Certificates under various legal investment restrictions, and thus the ability of investors subject to these restrictions to purchase the Offered Certificates, is subject to significant interpretive uncertainties. No representations are made as to the proper characterization of the Offered Certificates for legal investment, financial institution regulatory, or other purposes, or as to the ability of particular investors to purchase the Offered Certificates under applicable legal investment restrictions. The uncertainties described above (and any unfavorable future determinations concerning the legal investment or financial institution regulatory characteristics of the Offered Certificates) may adversely affect the liquidity of the Offered Certificates. Accordingly, all investors whose investment activities are subject to
S-234
legal investment laws and regulations, regulatory capital requirements or review by regulatory authorities should consult with their own legal advisors in determining whether and to what extent the Offered Certificates constitute legal investments for them or are subject to investment, capital or other restrictions. See ‘‘LEGAL INVESTMENT’’ in the accompanying prospectus.
