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.
Certain of the Mortgage Loans provide for a recast of the amortization schedule and an adjustment of the scheduled debt service payments of the related Mortgage Loan upon certain applications of insurance proceeds or condemnation awards to the related unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan.
See ‘‘YIELD AND MATURITY CONSIDERATIONS—Yield Considerations’’ and the modeling assumptions described in ‘‘YIELD AND MATURITY CONSIDERATIONS—Weighted Average Life’’ in this prospectus supplement.
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
Table of Contentspayment 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 7 Mortgage Loans (loan numbers 1, 8, 22, 27, 28, 55 and 131), representing 13.0% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (3 Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 1 or 12.5% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance and 4 Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 2 or 15.5% 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 7, 42, 47 and 162), representing approximately 4.6% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (2 Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 1 or 1.0% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance and 2 Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 2 or 23.8% of Cut-Off Date Group 2 Balance), the related borrower has incurred subordinate debt secured by a second mortgage of $25,000, $5,150,000, $3,850,000 and $320,000, respectively, encumbering the related Mortgaged Property, which is subject to a subordination and standstill agreement.
With respect to 30 Mortgage Loans (loan numbers 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, 14, 17, 25, 26, 28, 36, 40, 51, 61, 62, 81, 84, 93, 114, 117, 122, 130, 138, 141, 156 and 160), representing 51.2% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (25 Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 1 or 54.7% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance and 5 Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 2 or 32.5% of the Cut-Off Date Group 2 Balance), the related Mortgage Loan documents provide that, under certain circumstances (which may include satisfaction of DSCR and LTV tests, the consent of the mortgagee and/or written confirmation from the rating agencies that any ratings of the certificates will not, as a result of the proposed debt, be downgraded, qualified or withdrawn), 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 1 Mortgage Loan listed above (loan number 1), representing approximately 7.9% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (9.4% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance), the owners of the borrower are permitted to obtain additional or replacement financing, which may be subordinate debt or mezzanine debt, after the existing junior mezzanine debt in the original principal amount of $200,000,000 has been paid in full; provided that (a) the amount of such additional junior indebtedness is either (i) reasonably acceptable to lender or (ii) with respect to mezzanine debt, in an amount such that when added to the then outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and the outstanding balance of the related senior mezzanine loan, if applicable, results in a loan-to-value ratio not in excess of 89%, based on a new appra isal; and (b) the lender must have received written confirmation from the applicable rating agencies that the incurrence of such indebtedness will not result in the downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the ratings then assigned to the Certificates or any commercial mortgage pass-through certificates backed by a related pari passu companion loan.
With respect to 1 Mortgage Loan listed above (loan number 3), representing approximately 7.4% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (8.7% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance), the related Mortgage Loan documents permit one of the equity owners of the related borrower to pledge its direct or indirect interest in the related borrower to an institutional lender meeting the requirements set forth in the related Mortgage Loan documents to secure debt other than mortgage indebtedness secured by the related mortgaged property. Such institutional lender may have the right to foreclosure or other realization upon such pledge in certain circumstances.
With respect to 1 Mortgage Loan listed above (loan number 5), representing approximately 5.6% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (6.6% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance), the related Mortgage Loan documents permit a direct or indirect owner of the related borrower to pledge the interests it owns in the
S-94
Table of Contentsrelated borrower as security for a corporate or parent level credit facility from one or more financial institutions (a) that have total assets (in name or under management) in excess of $600,000,000 and (except with respect to a pension advisory firm or similar fiduciary) capital/statutory surplus or shareholder’s equity of $250,000,000 and (b) that are regularly engaged in the business of making or owning commercial real estate loans or operating commercial mortgage properties, in connection with a corporate or parent level credit facility.
With respect to 1 Mortgage Loan (loan number 152), representing approximately 0.1% of the Cut-Off Pool Balance (0.1% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance), the related Mortgage Loan documents provide that the related borrower may incur additional debt (a) secured by the Mortgaged Property or (b) secured by ownership interests in the related borrower pledged as security for such loan.
With respect to 1 Mortgage Loan (loan number 58), representing 0.4% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (0.4% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance), the related Mortgage Loan documents provide that, under certain circumstances, the related borrowers may incur additional unsecured debt (in addition to unsecured trade payables in customary amounts incurred in the ordinary course of business).
With respect to 3 Mortgage Loans (loan numbers 69, 154 and 164), representing approximately 0.4% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (1 Mortgage Loan or 0.3% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance and 2 Mortgage Loans or 0.6% of the Cut-Off Date Group 2 Balance), the related Mortgage Loan documents provide that, under certain circumstances, the related borrowers may incur additional unsecured debt in favor of affiliates, subject to the terms of a subordination and standstill agreement to be entered into in favor of the mortgagee.

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 Whole 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.
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 (including without limitation, as and to the extent permitted under the related Mortgage Loan documents, transfers to or between borrower affiliates, family members, partners and other co-owners and their affiliates, estate planning transfers and transfers upon death or disability, and transfers to transferees meeting criteria set forth in the related Mortgage Loan documents) 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 8 Mortgage Loans (loan numbers 25, 33, 36, 74, 102, 118, 124 and 165) representing 2.4% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (6 Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 1 or 2.2% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance and 2 Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 2 or 3.8% of the Cut-Off Date
S-95
Table of ContentsGroup 2 Balance), permit the borrowers to transfer tenant-in-common interests to certain transferees as specified in the related Mortgage Loan documents, or to investors that qualify as ‘‘accredited investors’’ under the Securities Act. In the case of certain Mortgage Loans, the related borrower is required under the terms of the related loan documents to transfer the Mortgaged Property to an affiliate in the future that will assume the related Mortgage Loan. As provided in, and subject to, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer or 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 Proper ty.
Cross-Default and Cross-Collateralization of Certain Mortgage Loans; Certain Multi-Property Mortgage Loans. Six (6) 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-defa ulted 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 Whole Loans, will be cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted with any loan that is not included in the Mortgage Pool. See ‘‘RISK FACTORS—The Mortgage Loans—Limitations on the Benefits of Cross-Collateralized and Cross-Defaulted Properties’’ in this prospectus supplement. 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-defaul t 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.
For example, with respect to 1 Mortgage Loan (loan number 5), representing approximately 5.6% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance 6.6% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance), the related Mortgage Loan documents permit the related borrower to obtain the release of the air rights above the improvements on the Mortgaged Property to a third party in connection with the development of a condominium or vertical space subdivision of improvements to be constructed by such third party or sold in the air space from the lien of the Mortgage upon satisfaction of certain conditions, including but not limited to: delivery by the related mortgage borrower to the mortgagee of (i) a site plan showing the proposed air space development, (ii) legal description for the air rights, (iii) ALTA survey showing the air rights area, (iv) any air space development documentation submitted to a governmental authority, (v) an endorsement to the mortgage lender’s title policy for the remaini ng property, (vi) zoning approvals and (vii) other documentation set forth in the related loan agreement.
Additionally, with respect to 2 Mortgage Loans (loan numbers 3 and 5), representing approximately 12.9% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (15.3% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance), the related Mortgage Loan documents permit the related borrower, without consent of the mortgagee, provided no event of default occurs and is continuing, to (i) make transfers of immaterial or non-income producing portions of the Mortgaged Property to any federal, state or local government or any political subdivision thereof in connection with takings or condemnations of any portion of the Mortgaged Property for dedication or public use and (ii) make transfers of non-income producing portions of the Mortgaged Property (by sale, ground lease, sublease or other conveyance of any interest) to third parties, including, without limitation, owners of out parcels and department store pads, pads for office buildings, hotels or other properties for the purpose of erecting and operating addit ional structures or parking facilities whose use is integrated and consistent with the use of the Mortgaged Property; provided, however, it is a condition to any of the transfers or encumbrances in (ii) above that no transfer, conveyance or other encumbrance shall result in a Material Adverse Effect. A ‘‘Material Adverse Effect’’ shall mean any event or condition that has a material adverse effect on (a) the value of the Mortgaged Property, (b) the business
S-96
Table of Contentsoperations or financial condition of the related mortgage borrower, (c) the ability of the related Borrower to repay the Mortgage Loan and (d) in the case of the Independence Center Mortgage Loan, the compliance of the Mortgaged Property with any legal requirements.
One (1) Mortgage Loan (loan number 1), representing 7.9% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (9.4% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance), permits the related borrower to obtain the release of the parcels known as the parking garage and the non-Fifth Avenue retail space at the Mortgaged Property after the later to occur of the date on which the Mortgaged Property’s conversion to a condominium is complete and the expiration of the defeasance lockout period at a release price equal to $8,550,000 with respect to the parking garage space and $95,000,000 with respect to the non-Fifth Avenue retail space if, among other things, (a) the senior mezzanine borrower has prepaid (or is simultaneously prepaying) the senior mezzanine loan in full, (b) the junior mezzanine borrower has prepaid (or is simultaneously prepaying) the junior mezzanine loan in an amount equal to all remaining net sales proceeds and (c) after giving effect to such release, the DSCR is at least equal to the DSCR for the property (including the release parcel) for the 12 months immediately preceding the release. In addition, the related borrower is permitted to obtain the release of the portion of the Mortgaged Property consisting of the Fifth Avenue retail space without prepayment of the Mortgage Loan on or after the date on which the Mortgaged Property’s conversion to a condominium is complete, if, among other things, (a) the junior mezzanine debt has not been paid in full, (b) in the event that such release occurs prior to July 1, 2008, the borrower has deposited an amount equal to $105,000,000, less $2,500,000 for every full calendar month, if any, that the release occurs prior to July 1, 2008, to be held and disbursed in accordance with the Mortgage Loan documents, (c) the senior mezzanine borrower has prepaid (or is simultaneously prepaying) the senior mezzanine loan in full, (d) the junior mezzanine borrower has prepaid (or is simultaneously prepaying) (i) in connect ion with a sale of the Fifth Avenue retail space to a third party, the junior mezzanine loan in an amount equal to all remaining net sales proceeds or (ii) in connection with a refinancing of the Fifth Avenue retail space, the entire balance of the junior mezzanine loan and (e) with respect to the remaining Mortgaged Property (not including the released portion of the Mortgaged Property), the loan-to-value ratio (including the remaining junior mezzanine debt and/or junior indebtedness, if applicable) is not more than 89%.
Eight (8) of the Mortgage Loans (loan numbers 2, 4, 7, 9, 11, 13, 26 and 68), representing 25.8% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (7 Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 1 or 26.3% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance and 1 Mortgage Loan in Loan Group 2 or 23.6% of the Cut-Off Date Group 2 Balance), permit a partial release of a portion or portions of the related Mortgaged Property or one or more entire Mortgaged Property(ies) in the case of a multi-property loan; provided that among other things, (i) prior to the release of the portion or portions of the related Mortgaged Property or one or more entire Mortgaged Properties in the case of a multi-property loan, a specified percentage (generally between 100% and 120%) of the allocated loan amount for such released Mortgaged Property(ies) or p ortion(s) of a Mortgaged Property may be prepaid or partially defeased, or alternatively, partial defeasance of an amount specified in the related Mortgage Loan documents and (ii) certain DSC Ratio and LTV tests are satisfied at the time of the partial release with respect to the remaining portion of the related Mortgaged Property after the partial release. See ‘‘Three Borough Pool’’, ‘‘84 Lumber Industrial Pool’’, ‘‘ING Hospitality Pool’’, ‘‘Ashford Hospitality Pool 6’’, ‘‘Central/Eastern Industrial’’ and ‘‘Nordic Cold Storage Pool’’ in Annex D to this prospectus supplement.
With respect to 1 Mortgage Loan (loan number 157), representing 0.1% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (0.3% of the Cut-Off Date Group 2 Balance), the related Mortgage Loan documents permit the related borrower to obtain the partial release of an unimproved portion of the related Mortgaged Property for no consideration; provided that, among other things, (i) there shall be no event of default and (ii) the conditions set forth in the related Mortgage Loan documents shall be satisfied.
Substitutions. Twelve (12) mortgage loans (loan numbers 11, 13, 23, 31, 34, 40, 54, 114, 121, 122, 156 and 160), representing 6.8% of the Cut-off Date Pool Balance (8.0% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance), permit the related borrowers to substitute Mortgaged Properties of like kind and quality for the properties securing the related Mortgage Loans, subject to certain conditions, including LTV tests and DSC 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

Table of ContentsFund 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
Fifty-five (55) of the Mortgaged Properties, representing, by allocated loan amount, 21.6% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (11 Mortgaged Properties in Loan Group 1 or 17.9% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance and 44 Mortgaged Properties in Loan Group 2 or 41.2% of the Cut-off Date Group 2 Balance) are located in the State of New York. As a result of this concentration, any adverse economic impact on the New York area may have a more pronounced effect on certificateholders as compared with a similar economic impact on other geographical areas.
In addition, laws related to foreclosure may be more or less favorable to lenders depending on the state. New York law requires a mortgagee to elect either a foreclosure action or a personal action against the borrower, and to exhaust the security under the mortgage, or exhaust its personal remedies against the borrower, before it may bring the other such action. The practical effect of the election requirement is that mortgagees will usually proceed first against the security rather than bringing personal action against the borrower. Other statutory provisions limit any deficiency judgment against the former borrower following a judicial sale to the excess of the outstanding debt over the fair market value of the property at the time of the public sale. The purpose of these statutes is generally to prevent a mortgagee from obtaining a large deficiency judgment against the former borrower as a result of low bids or the absence of bids at the judicial sale.
Nineteen (19) of the Mortgaged Properties, representing, by allocated loan amount, 11.7% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (16 Mortgaged Properties in Loan Group 1 or 12.8% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance and 3 Mortgaged Properties in Loan Group 2 or 5.9% of the Cut-Off Date Group 2 Balance), are located in the State of 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 the lender secures a judgment, the final judgment will provide that the 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 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 lender may be required to prove the value of the property sold as of the date of foreclosure in order to recover a deficiency. Further, 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 property at the time of the judicial sale. In certain circumstances, the lender 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 54 Mortgaged Properties securing 9 Mortgage Loans (loan numbers 2, 37, 60, 67, 71, 82, 95, 134 and 137), representing, by allocated loan amount, 9.9% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (8 Mortgage Loans in
S-98
Table of ContentsLoan Group 1 or 11.5% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance and 1 Mortgage Loan in Loan Group 2 or 1.1% 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’’ and ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE MORTGAGE POOL—Additional Mortgage Loan Information’’ 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, 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, 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 resulting reports concluded that, in the event of an earthquake, 7 Mortgaged Properties (loan numbers 2.02, 2.05, 2.08, 2.09, 12, 76 and 135) representing, by allocated loan amount, 3.4% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (4.0% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance) is likely to suffer a probable maximum loss equal to or in excess of 20% of the amount of the estimated replacement cost of the improvements located on the related Mortgag ed Property. The related Mortgage Loan Seller required the related borrower to obtain earthquake insurance to protect against these risks.

Certain Information Relating to The Renaissance Loan, the Central/Eastern Industrial Pool Loan and the 4929 Wilshire Loan
The discussion under this ‘‘Certain Information Relating to the Renaissance Loan, the Central/Eastern Industrial Pool Loan and the 4929 Wilshire Loan’’ subsection relates solely to the Co-Lender Loans identified as The Renaissance Loan, the Central/Eastern Industrial Pool Loan and the 4929 Wilshire Loan and their related Subordinate Companion Loans.
General. Pursuant to the terms of the related A/B Loan Intercreditor Agreements, the A/B Loans will be serviced and administered pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Master Servicer and Special Servicer, as applicable, on behalf of the holders of the various notes (as a collective whole). The A/B Loan Intercreditor Agreements generally provide that expenses, losses and shortfalls relating to the A/B Loans will be allocated first, to the holder of the Subordinate Companion Loans and thereafter to the A/B Loans. Prior to a default under the related mortgage loan documents or, in some cases, prior to when the A/B Loan becomes a specially serviced loan as a result of an event of default under the related Mortgage Loan documents, payments received by or on behalf of the related Borrower are generally applied pro rata between the A/B Loan and the related Subordinate Companion Loan(s). During the continuance of an event of default or, in some cases, during the time that an A/B Loan is specially serviced as a result of an event of default under the related Mortgage Loan documents, such payments will be applied first in respect of interest and principal to the A/B Loan until paid in full and then in respect of interest and principal to each related Subordinate Companion Loan until paid in
S-103
Table of Contentsfull, and then in respect of certain prepayment fees, extension fees, exit fees and default interest among the A/B Loan and Subordinate Companion Loan, all in accordance with the terms of the related A/B Loan Intercreditor Agreement.
With respect to the A/B Loans, the Master Servicer and Special Servicer will service and administer each of the A/B Loans and the Subordinate Companion Loans pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the A/B Loan Intercreditor Agreements for so long as each A/B Loan is part of the Trust Fund. The holders of the most subordinate Subordinate Companion Loan will be entitled to advise and direct the Master Servicer and/or Special Servicer with respect to certain matters, including, among other things, foreclosure or material modifications of the A/B Loans at such times as such Subordinate Companion Loans are not the subject of an A/B Loan Control Appraisal Period (as defined below).
Control Appraisals. While certain A/B Loans may provide for certain variations, an ‘‘A/B Loan Control Appraisal Period’’ will generally be deemed to have occurred if and so long as (a) the principal balance of a Subordinate Companion Loan minus an amount equal to the excess (if any) of (i)(A) the outstanding principal balance of the related A/B Loan, plus (B) to the extent not previously advanced by the Master Servicer or the Trustee, all accrued and unpaid interest on the related A/B Loan at a per annum rate equal to its mortgage interest rate (exclu sive, in most cases, of any default interest), plus (C) all unreimbursed Advances and unpaid interest thereon and any unpaid interest on any principal and interest advances with respect to the related A/B Loan, plus (D) all currently due and unpaid real estate taxes and assessments, insurance premiums and, if applicable, ground rents relating to the Mortgaged Property (less, in certain cases, any amounts held in escrow for such items) over (ii) an amount equal to ninety percent (90%) of the value thereof as determined by the most recent appraisal of the Mortgaged Property as required by the related A/B Loan Intercreditor Agreement (net of any liens senior to the lien of the related A/B Loan), is less than or equal to (b) twenty five percent (25%) of the principal balance of such Subordinate Companion Loan. No advice or direction of the holder of a Subordinate Companion Loan may require or cause the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to violate any provision of the Pooling and Se rvicing Agreement, including the Master Servicer’s and the Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard. See ‘‘SERVICING OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS—The Controlling Class Representative’’ in this prospectus supplement.
Cure and Purchase Rights. In the event of certain defaults under an A/B Loan, the holder of the related Subordinate Companion Loan that is most subordinate will generally be entitled to (i) cure such monetary default within a certain specified time frame, generally between 3 and 7 Business Days of receipt of the cure notice; (ii) cure such non-monetary default within a certain specified time frame, generally between 20 and 30 days of receipt of the cure notice; (iii) purchase such A/B Loan (together with any Subordinate Companion Loan that is senior to it) from the Trust Fund after the expiration of the cure period and/or, (iv) post additional collateral, subject to the conditions contained in the applicable A/B Loan Intercreditor Agreement; provided, further, however, the holder of the related Subordinate Companion Loan is limited with respect to the amount and duration of cures as more particularly described in the applicable A/B Loan Intercreditor Agreement, but that are generally between 3 and 30 days. While certain A/B Loans may provide for certain limited variations, the purchase price will generally equal the unpaid aggregate principal balance of the A/B Loan, together with all unpaid interest thereon at the related mortgage interest rate (including default interest) and any unreimbursed servicing expenses, advances and interest on advances for which the borrower under the A/B Loan is res ponsible and any other Additional Trust Fund Expenses in respect of the A/B Loan actually paid or incurred by the Trust Fund; provided, however, that the purchase price shall typically not be reduced by any outstanding P&I Advance. No prepayment consideration will typically be payable in connection with such a purchase of an A/B Loan. The holder of the most subordinate Subordinate Companion Loan has the right, at any time and from time to time, to replace the Special Servicer then acting with respect to the related A/B Loan with or without cause and appoint a replacement Special Servicer solely with respect to such A/B Loan.
Consent and Consultation Rights of the Holders of the Subordinate Companion Loans. Prior to a Control Appraisal Period with respect to the Subordinate Companion Loans, the holder of the related Subordinate Companion Loan that is most subordinate is entitled to advise the Special Servicer with respect to the following actions of the Special Servicer, and the Special Servicer is generally not permitted

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’s 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 n ot in the best interests of the Certificateholders. An affiliate of the Special Servicer will be the initial Controlling Class Representative.

Certain Information Relating to the Sawgrass Mills Loan.
The Sawgrass Mills Loan is part of a split loan structure comprised of (i) the Sawgrass Mills Loan, (ii) the Sawgrass Mills Pari Passu Companion Loans and (iii) the Sawgrass Mills Subordinate Companion Loans, each of which is secured by the same mortgage instrument on the same underlying Mortgaged Property (the ‘‘Sawgrass Mills Mortgaged Property’’). The Sawgrass Mills Loan is evidenced by multiple promissory notes. The Sawgrass Mills Pari Passu Companion Loans and Sawgrass Mills Subordinate Companion Loans are evidenced by multiple pari passu promissory notes and multiple subordinate
S-106
Table of Contentspromissory notes, respectively. Only the Sawgrass Mills Loan is included in the Trust Fund. The Sawgrass Mills Loan, the Sawgrass Mills Pari Passu Companion Loans and the Sawgrass Mills Subordinate Companion Loans are collectively referred to in this prospectus supplement as the ‘‘Sawgrass Mills Whole Loan.’’
The initial holders of the Sawgrass Mills Loan and the Sawgrass Mills Pari Passu Companion Loans (such holders and any successor holders, the ‘‘Sawgrass Mills Senior Noteholders’’) as well as the initial holders of the Sawgrass Mills Subordinate Companion Loans (such holders and any successor holders, the ‘‘Sawgrass Mills Subordinate Noteholders’’) have entered into an intercreditor agreement that sets forth the respective rights of the Sawgrass Mills Senior Noteholders and the Sawgrass Mills Subordinate Noteholders (the ‘‘Sawgrass Mills Intercreditor Agreement&rsq uo;’).

Consent Rights of Each Deerwood MHP Note B Holder. With respect to each Deerwood MHP Whole Loan, unless a Deerwood MHP Control Appraisal Period exists, the related Deerwood MHP Note B Holder, or an advisor on its behalf, will be entitled to advise and direct the related Master Servicer and/or Special Servicer with respect to certain matters, including among other things, any modification or waiver of a monetary term of the subject Deerwood MHP Whole Loan and any modification of, or waiver that would result in the extension of the related maturity date, a reduction in the interest rate on the related Deerwood MHP Subordinate Companion Loan or the monthly debt service payment payable on the related Deerwood MHP Subordinate Companion Loan or a deferral or forgiveness of interest on or principal of the related Deerwood MHP Subordinate Companion Loan o r a modification or waiver of any other monetary term of the related Deerwood MHP Subordinate Companion Loan relating to the timing or amount of any payment of principal and interest (other than default interest); any modification of, or waiver with respect to, the subject Deerwood MHP Whole Loan that would result in a discounted pay-off of the related Deerwood MHP Subordinate Companion Loan; any foreclosure upon or comparable conversion (which may include acquisition of an REO property) of the ownership of the related mortgaged property or any acquisition of the mortgaged property by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure; any sale of the subject Deerwood MHP Whole Loan, the related mortgaged property or REO property; any release of the related borrower or any guarantor from liability with respect to the subject Deerwood MHP Whole Loan; 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 related borrower); any action to bring the related mortgaged property or an REO property into compliance with environmental laws; any substitution or release of collateral for the subject Deerwood MHP Whole Loan, except as permitted by the related mortgage loan documents; any transfer of the related mortgaged property or any portion thereof; the voting on any plan of reorganization, restructuring or similar plan in the bankruptcy of the related borrower; and any releases of reserve funds or related letters of credit or adjustment to the amounts of reserve funds required under the related mortgage loan documents. However, no advice or direction may require or cause the related Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to violate any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, including the Master Servicer’s and the Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard s or the REMIC provisions of the Code.
With respect to each Deerwood MHP Whole Loan, a ‘‘Deerwood MHP Control Appraisal Period’’ will exist if, and for so long as, the initial principal balance of the related Deerwood MHP Subordinate Companion Loan, minus the sum of (i) any principal payments (principal prepayments or otherwise) allocated to, and received on, that Deerwood MHP Subordinate Companion Loan, (ii) any appraisal reduction amount allocated to that Deerwood MHP Subordinate Companion Loan and (iii) any realized principal losses allocated to that Deerwood MHP Subordinate Companion Loan, is less than 25% of (A) the initial principal balance of that Deerwood MHP Subordinate Companion Loan minus (B) any payments of principal (whether as principal prepayments or otherwise) allocated to, and received on, that Deerwood MHP Subordinate Com panion Loan.
Termination of Special Servicer. With respect to each Deerwood MHP Whole Loan, prior to an Deerwood MHP Control Appraisal Period, the related Deerwood MHP Note B Holder will be entitled
S-118
Table of Contentsto terminate the Special Servicer with respect to the special servicing of the subject Deerwood MHP Whole Loan at any time, with or without cause, and to appoint a replacement special servicer, subject to satisfaction of the conditions contained in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the related Deerwood MHP Intercreditor Agreement. The appointment of a successor special servicer will generally be subject to receipt of written confirmation from the Rating Agencies that such appointment would not cause the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the then current ratings of the Certificates.
Cure Rights. In the event of any monetary default with respect to a Deerwood MHP Senior Loan, or to the extent of the related Master Servicer’s knowledge thereof, a non-monetary default with respect to the subject Deerwood MHP Senior Loan, the related Deerwood MHP Note B Holder will be entitled to cure (i) a monetary default within five (5) business days of receipt of notice thereof and (ii) a non-monetary default within 30 days of receipt of notice thereof, subject to limitations, specified in the related Deerwood MHP Intercreditor Agreement, on the number of times that the related Deerwood MHP Note B Holder may exercise such cure rights.
Purchase Option. With respect to each Deerwood MHP Senior Loan, the related Deerwood MHP Note B Holder has the right, by written notice to the related Deerwood MHP Note A Holder, following the occurrence of (i) any event of default with respect to an obligation of the related borrower to pay principal and interest payments or any other monetary obligations due under the subject Deerwood MHP Senior Loan or (ii) any non-monetary event of default as a result of which the subject Deerwood MHP Whole Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, to purchase the related Deerwood MHP Senior Loan from the applicable Deerwood MHP Note A Holder subject to the terms and conditions contained in the related Deerwood MHP Intercreditor Agreement. The purchase price will include, among other things, an amount equal to the unpaid principal balance of the subject Deerwood MHP Senior Loan, together with all unpaid interest on the subject Deerwood MHP Senior Loan at the related interest rate (excluding default interest and any prepayment premium) and any servicing compensation, advances and interest on advances payable or reimbursable to any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Mezzanine Loans
With respect to the Mortgage Loans with existing mezzanine debt, the holder of each mezzanine loan generally has the right to purchase the related Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund if certain defaults on the related Mortgage Loan occur or upon the transfer of the related Mortgage Loan to special servicing as a result of an event of default under the related Mortgage Loan and, in some cases, may have the right to cure certain defaults occurring on the related Mortgage Loan. The purchase price required to be paid in connection with such a purchase is generally equal to the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, together with accrued and unpaid interest on, and all unpaid servicing expenses, advances and interest on advances relating to, such Mortgage Loan. The lenders for this mezzanine debt are generally not affiliates of the related Mortgage Loan borrower. Upon a default under the mezzanine debt, the holder of the mezzanine debt may, under c ertain circumstances, foreclose upon the ownership interests in the related borrower.
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, A-5 and A-6, Annex B, Annex D and Annex E 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, A-5, A-6, Annex B, Annex D and Annex E unless otherwise specified, such numerical and statistical information excludes any Subordinate Companion Loans and assumes that no future Pari Passu Companion Loans are advanced. For purposes of the calculation of the DSC Ratio, the LTV Ratio and Loan per Sq. Ft., Unit, Pad, Room or Bed with respect to the 666 Fifth Avenue Loan, the ING Hospitality Pool Loan, the Potomac Mills Loan, the Sawgrass Mills Loan, and the 84 Lumber Industrial Pool Loan such ratios are calculated based upon the aggregate debt service on or aggreg ate indebtedness of the 666 Fifth Avenue Loan and the 666 Fifth Avenue Loan Pari Passu Companion Loans, the ING Hospitality Pool Loan and the ING Hospitality Pari
S-119
Table of ContentsPassu Companion Loans, the Sawgrass Mills Loan and the Sawgrass Mills Pari Passu Companion Loan, the Potomac Mills Loan and the Potomac Mills Pari Passu Companion Loans and the 84 Lumber Industrial Pool Loan and the 84 Lumber Industrial Pool 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. 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, A-5, A-6, Annex B, Annex D and Annex E 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, A-5, A-6, Annex B, Annex D and Annex E:
(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 Rat io 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 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 provided herein (i) with respect to 64 Mortgage Loans, representing 29.3% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (50 Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 1 or 31.4% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance and 14 Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 2 or 18.4% 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 4 Mortgage Loans (loan numbers 65, 87, 101 and 153), representing 0.7% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (0.9% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance) such ratio was adjusted by taking into account amounts available under certain letters of credit, holdback amounts or cash reserves; the actual DSCR with respect to each such Mortgage Loan, without adjustment, is as follows: (A) 1.10x, with respect to loan number 65; (B) 1.09x, with respect to loan number 87; (C) 1.10x with respect to loan number 101; and (D) 1.13x with respect to loan number 153; (iii) 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 with respect to all Mortgage Loans, except those originated by BCRE (which uses the same calculation but with regard to the interest accrual basis with respect to all Mortgage Loans) or Artesia (which uses the same calculation but with regard to the interest accrual basis with respect to all Mortgage Loans); (iv) with respect to 2 Mortgage Loans (loan numbers 49 and 50), representing 0.8% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (5.1% of the Cut-Off Date Group 2 Balance), such ratio for each loan was calculated on the basis of the aggregate of both loans and the related mortgaged properties;
S-120
Table of Contentsand (v) with respect to 1 Mortgage Loan (loan number 38), representing 0.5% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (0.6% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance), such ratio was derived by using the average monthly debt service during the period in which amortization is due according to the related payment schedule mortgage, as described in Annex A-6, to this prospectus supplement; provided, further, for purposes of calculating the DSCRs provided herein for each Pari Passu Loan, the debt service on the related Pari Passu Companion Loan will be taken into account, but it will be assumed that no future Pari Passu Companion Loans are advanced. In general, the Mortgage Loan Sellers relied on either full-yea r 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 the case of the certain Mortgage Loans, with respect to which a portion of the related Mortgaged Property has been leased to an affiliate of the related borrower (or to the related borrower itself), as tenant, but the related Mortgaged Property is not used by such tenant for business operations but instead is master leased in order to increase property net cash flow, the net cash flow for purposes of calculating DSCR includes the rent under such master lease.
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. Each originator of commercial mortgage loans has its own underwriting criteria, and no assurance can be given that adjustments or calculations made by one originator would be made by other lenders. See ‘‘RISK FACTORS—The Mortgage L oans—Risks Relating to Net Cash Flow’’ and ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE MORTGAGE POOL—The Sponsors—Wachovia’s Underwriting Standards’’, ‘‘—BCRE’s Underwriting Standards’’, ‘‘—Nomura’s Underwriting Standards’’ and ‘‘—Artesia’s Underwriting Standards’’ in this prospectus supplement.
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, future contractual rent steps 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&rs quo;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 thereon. In the case of hospitality properties, gross receipts
S-121
Table of Contentswere 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as indicated on Annex A-1, in certain cases, historical income and revenue information was not utilized in determining underwritten Net Cash Flow because such historical information either was not available or was not an accurate reflection of the current status of the related Mortgaged Property as a result of a change in circumstan ces at the related Mortgaged Property. In those cases, the related Mortgage Loan Seller generally relied on comparative market and sub-market leasing assumptions (including rental rates and vacancy), master leases and other potential revenue generators as well as budget projections provided by the borrower and information contained in the related third-party appraisal in determining Net Cash Flow. With respect to 1 Mortgage Loan (loan number 1) representing 7.9% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (9.4% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance), the underwritten net cash flow used to calculate the DSC Ratio was determined based on certain assumptions, including that all leases were marked to current market rental rates. If the market rental rates are not achieved, upon lease rollover, the DSC Ratio will be negatively affected. The ‘‘As-Is’’ DSCR calculated based on the rent roll dated January 11, 2007 including rent steps through 2007, is 0.65x. See ‘‘RISK FACTORS—Risks Rela ting to Net Cash Flow’’ in this prospectus supplement.
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 3.0% to 4.0% of effective gross revenue (except with respect to full service hospitality properties, where a minimum of 4.0% of gross receipts was assumed, with respect to limited service hospitality properties, where a minimum of 3.5% 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 ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE MORTGAGE POOL—The Sponsors—Wachovia’s Underwriting Standards—Escrow Requirements-Replacement Reserves’’, ‘‘—BCRE’s Underwriting Standards—Escrow Requirements’’, ‘‘—Nomura’s Underwriting Standards—Escrow Requirements’’ 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 666 Fifth Avenue Loan, the ING Hospitality Pool Loan, the Potomac Mills Loan, the Sawgrass Mills Loan and the 84 Lumber Industrial Pool Loan, the related Whole 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 54 Mortgaged Properties securing, in whole or in part, 9 Mortgage Loans (loan numbers 2, 37, 60, 67, 82, 71, 95, 134 and 137), represent ing, by allocated loan amount, approximately 9.9% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (8 Mortgage Loans in Loan Group 1 or 11.5% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance and 1 Mortgaged Properties in Loan Group 2 or 1.1% of the Cut-Off Date Group 2 Balance), the appraised value represented is the ‘‘as-stabilized’’ value. For purposes of determining LTVs for 3 mortgage loans (loan numbers 7, 65 and 87), representing 4.2% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (2 mortgage loans in loan group 1 or
S-122
Table of Contents0.6% and 1 loan in loan group 2 or 23.6%), the LTV was calculated by taking into account amounts available under certain letters of credit, holdbacks or cash reserves. For purposes of determining LTVs for 2 Mortgage Loans (loan numbers 49 and 50), representing 0.8% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (5.1% of the Cut-Off Date Group 2 Balance), the LTV for each loan was calculated on the basis of the aggregate of both loans and the related mortgaged properties. 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:

For purposes of determining LTVs for 3 mortgage loans (loan numbers 7, 65 and 87), representing 4.2% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (2 mortgage loans in loan group 1 or 0.6% and 1 loan in loan group 2 or 23.6%), the LTV was calculated by taking into account amounts available under certain letters of credit, holdbacks or cash reserves. Maturity Date LTV Ratio and LTV at ARD or Maturity with respect to 2 Mortgage Loans (loan numbers 49 and 50), representing 0.8% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (5.1% of t he Cut-Off Date Group 2 Balance), were calculated on the basis of the aggregate of both loans and the appraised values of the related mortgaged properties.

Table of ContentsThe Sponsors
Wachovia Bank, National Association
General. Wachovia Bank, National Association (‘‘Wachovia’’), a national banking association, is a Sponsor of this securitization, originated or acquired and underwrote 88 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 approximately 3,400 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 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 October 1, 2006, the total amount of commercial mortgage loans originated and securitized by Wachovia since 1995 is approximately $57.0 billion. Approximately $53.7 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 Commerc ial Mortgage Securities, Inc., an affiliate of Wachovia, acts as the depositor. As of October 1, 2006, Wachovia securitized approximately $55.3 billion through the Wachovia Bank Commercial Mortgage Trust program (or predecessor programs).

Table of ContentsWachovia’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.
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 ‘‘—Wachovia’s Underwriting Standards’’ 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 becomin g 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. 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
S-129
Table of Contentsanticipated 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 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)&nbs p;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 mini mum 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’&rsquo ;) 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; |
S-130
Table of Contents |  |  |
| • | 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 increases or decreases in expenses, or whether certain expenses are capital expenses or should be treated as expenses which are not recurring; 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. 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 ten ants 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 an 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 guarante es. 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, see ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE MORTGAGE POOL—Additional Mortgage Loan Information’’ and ‘‘RISK FACTORS—The Mortgage Loans—Risks Related to Property Inspections and Certain Assumptions in Appraisals’’ in this prospectus supplement.
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 ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE MORTGAGE POOL—The Sponsor—Wachovia’s Underwriting Standards—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
S-131
Table of Contentsaid 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 and Enforcement Act of 1989 were fol lowed 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 o r 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 ha ve 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.
S-132
Table of ContentsWhere a property as currently operated is a permitted non-conforming 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 |
 |  |  |
| • | to require the related borrower to obtain law and ordinance insurance. |
While the foregoing discussion generally reflects how calculations of DSC Ratios are made, it does not necessarily reflect the specific calculations made to determine the DSC Ratio disclosed in this prospectus supplement. For specific details on the calculations of DSC Ratio in this prospectus supplement, see ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE MORTGAGE POOL—Additional Mortgage Loan Information’’ in this prospectus supplement.
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 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

Table of Contentsamounts 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.
Barclays Capital Real Estate Inc.
General
Barclays Capital Real Estate Inc. (‘‘BCRE’’), a Delaware corporation formed in 2004, is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Barclays Bank PLC. The executive offices of BCRE are located at 200 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10166. BCRE’s telephone number is (212) 412-4000.
BCRE’s primary business is the underwriting, origination, purchase and sale of mortgage and mezzanine loans secured by commercial or multifamily properties. BCRE began originating and securitizing commercial mortgage loans in 2004. As of December 31, 2006, the total amount of mortgage loans originated by BCRE since 2004 was approximately $17.8 billion, of which approximately $6 billion has been securitized primarily by third-party unaffiliated entities acting as depositor.
The commercial mortgage loans originated by BCRE include both fixed and floating rate mortgage loans. BCRE primarily originates mortgage loans secured by retail, office, hotel, multifamily, industrial and self storage properties, but also originates loans secured by manufactured housing, movie theaters, parking garages and land, among other property types. BCRE and its affiliates also originate subordinate and mezzanine debt and participate in the origination of mortgage loans with other mortgage loan sellers.
As a sponsor, BCRE originates or acquires mortgage loans and, together with other sponsors or mortgage loan sellers or on its own, initiates the securitization of those mortgage loans by transferring them to a securitization depositor, which in turn transfers them to the issuing entity for the related securitization. BCRE is an affiliate of Barclays Capital Inc., one of the underwriters. In coordination with its broker-dealer affiliate, Barclays Capital Inc., and other underwriters, BCRE works with rating agencies, investors, mortgage loan sellers and servicers in structuring the securitization transaction. BCRE acts as a sponsor and mortgage loan seller in transactions in which other entities act as sponsor or mortgage loan seller. Multiple seller transactions in which BCRE has participated include certain 2004 series of certificates whereby J.P. Morgan Chase Commercial Mortgage Securities Corp. was the depositor and certain 2005, 2006 and 2007 series of certif icates issued under the Banc of America Commercial Mortgage Inc., Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Securities Corp., Citigroup Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., Deutsche Mortgage & Asset Receiving Corporation, GE Commercial Mortgage Corporation and Wachovia Bank programs.
The following table sets forth information with respect to originations and securitizations of commercial and multifamily mortgage loans by BCRE for the three years ending on December 31, 2006.

(2) | BCRE Loans means all loans originated or purchased by BCRE in the relevant year. Loans originated in a given year that were not securitized in that year generally were held for securitization in the following year. Securitized Loans include both fixed rate and floating rate loans and loans included in both public and private securitizations. |
BCRE’s Underwriting Standards. Generally, all of the BCRE mortgage loans were originated by BCRE. In each case, the mortgage loans generally will have been underwritten in accordance with BCRE’s general underwriting standards and guidelines as set forth below. Each lending situation is unique, however, and the facts and circumstances surrounding each mortgage loan, such as the quality, tenancy, and location of the real estate collateral, and the sponsorship of the borrower, will impact the
S-134
Table of Contentsextent to which the general underwriting standards and guidelines are applied to a specific mortgage loan. The underwriting criteria are general and there is no assurance that every mortgage loan will comply in all respects with the general underwriting standards and guidelines, and in many cases exceptions to one or more of these standards and guidelines apply. Accordingly, no representation is made that every mortgage loan will comply in all respects with the general underwriting standards and guidelines set forth below.
Mortgage Loan Analysis. The underwriter for each mortgage loan is required to conduct a review of the related mortgaged property, generally including, but not limited to, an analysis of the historical property operating statements, if applicable, rent rolls and current and historical real estate taxes, a review of tenant leases, and an analysis of the appraisal, engineering report, seismic report, if applicable, and environmental report. The credit and background of the borrower and certain key principals of the borrower are examined for financial strength and character prior to approval of the loan. This analysis generally includes a review of historical financial statements (which are generally unaudited), historical income tax returns of the borrower and its principals, third-party credit reports and judgment, lien, bankruptcy and pending litig ation searches. Depending on the type of real property collateral involved and other relevant circumstances, the credit of key tenants also may be examined as part of the underwriting process. Generally, a member of the BCRE group visits the property for a site inspection to confirm occupancy and ascertain the overall quality and competitiveness of the property, including its physical attributes, neighborhood market, accessibility, visibility and demand generators. BCRE sometimes retains outside consultants to assist in its underwriting. As part of its underwriting procedures, BCRE generally also obtains certain third party reports or other documents in connection with various assessments and appraisals, such as assessments relating to property value and condition, environmental conditions and zoning and building code compliance.
Debt Service Coverage Ratio and LTV Ratio. BCRE’s underwriting standards generally require a minimum debt service coverage ratio of 1.20x and a maximum LTV ratio of 80%. However, these requirements constitute solely guidelines, and exceptions to these guidelines may be approved based on the individual characteristics of the mortgage loan. The debt service coverage ratio guidelines set forth above are calculated based on anticipated underwritten net cash flow at the time of origination. Therefore, the debt service coverage ratio for each mortgage loan as reported elsewhere in this prospectus supplement may differ from the amount determined at the time of origination. In addition, BCRE’s underwriting standards generally permit a maximum amortization period of 30 years. However, certain loans may provide for an interest-only period during all or a portion of the term of the mortgage loan.
Escrow Requirements. BCRE generally, but not in all cases, requires a borrower to fund various escrows for taxes and insurance, and may also require reserves for deferred maintenance, re-tenanting expenses and capital expenses. In some cases, the borrower is permitted to post a letter of credit or guaranty, or provide periodic evidence that the items for which the escrow or reserve would have been established are being paid or addressed, in lieu of funding a given escrow or reserve. BCRE 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 BCRE.
Earnouts and Additional Collateral Loans. Some of the mortgage loans are sometimes additionally secured by cash reserves or irrevocable letters of credit that will be released upon satisfaction by the borrower of leasing-related or other conditions, including, in some cases, achieving specified debt service coverage ratios or loan-to-value ratios.
Additional Debt. Certain mortgage loans may have or permit in the future certain additional subordinate debt, either secured or unsecured. It is possible that BCRE or an affiliate will be the lender on that additional debt. The combined debt service coverage and loan-to-value ratios may be below 1.20x and above 80%, respectively, based on the existence of additional debt secured by the real property collateral or directly or indirectly by equity interests in the related borrower.
Loan Approval. Prior to commitment and funding, all mortgage loans to be originated by BCRE must be approved by a loan committee comprised of one or more (depending on the loan size) senior real estate professionals from BCRE and must be approved by representatives from the bank’s credit
S-135
Table of Contentsdepartment. The loan committee may either approve a mortgage loan as recommended, request additional due diligence, modify the loan terms, or decline a mortgage loan.
Servicing. BCRE currently contracts with third party servicers to service the mortgage loans that it originates or acquires. Third party servicers are assessed based upon the credit quality of the servicing institution. Servicers may be reviewed for their systems and reporting capabilities, collection procedures and ability to provide loan-level data. In addition, BCRE may conduct background checks, meet with senior management to determine whether the servicer complies with industry standards or otherwise monitor the servicer on an ongoing basis. BCRE does not act as a servicer of the mortgage loans in its securitizations.
Nomura Credit & Capital, Inc.
General Character of Nomura Credit & Capital, Inc.’s Business. Nomura Credit & Capital, Inc., a Delaware corporation, which is an indirectly wholly owned subsidiary of Nomura Holding America Inc., is a Sponsor of this securitization and originated and underwrote 17 Mortgage Loans included in the Trust Fund. Nomura makes, and purchases from lenders, commercial and multifamily mortgage loans primarily for the purpose of securitizing them in CMBS transactions, or for disposition through alternate means. Nomura also purchases prime, subprime, conforming and non-conforming, nonperforming and subperforming first and second lien residential mortgage loans from originators of such residential loans primarily for the purpose of securitizing them in asset-backed or residential mortgage securitization transactions, or for disposition through al ternate means. In addition, Nomura purchases FHA insured project loans and certificates, other insured loans, home equity loans, student loans, and various other types of receivables.
Nomura also engages in the origination, and/or buying and selling, of mortgages, other interests in mortgage loans and related assets for investment and other purposes. Further, Nomura enters into resale and repurchase agreements and other financing arrangements with third parties and to finance its trading and inventory positions.
Nomura’s Securitization Program. Nomura, directly or through correspondents, originates multifamily and commercial mortgage loans throughout the United States and abroad. Nomura has been engaged in the origination of multifamily and commercial mortgage loans for securitization under programs substantially similar to its current program (which may have been modified, changed or amended from time to time) since 2001. The multifamily and commercial mortgage loans originated and securitized by Nomura include both fixed-rate loans and floating-rate loans and both conduit balance loans (which are average-size multifamily and commercial loans by industry standards) and large balance loans. Most of the multifamily and commercial mortgage loans included by Nomura in commercial mortgage securitizations in which Nomura has participated have been origin ated, directly by Nomura or through correspondents on its behalf. Nomura securitized approximately $951.8 million, $2.0 billion, $3.7 billion and $4.3 billion of commercial mortgage loans during the fiscal years 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006, respectively.
When Nomura originates mortgage loans in conjunction with third-party correspondents, the third-party correspondents generally perform the underwriting based on various criteria established or reviewed by Nomura, and Nomura originates or acquires 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, Nomura 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 Nomura. The trust fund relating to a series of offered certificates may include mortgage loans originated by one or more of these third parties.
In connection with the commercial mortgage securitization transactions Nomura participates in, Nomura 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.
S-136
Table of ContentsIn addition to the depositor, Nomura also works with rating agencies, unaffiliated mortgage loan sellers and servicers in connection with securitization transactions. Nomura will generally act as an originator and, in certain instances, a sponsor, in the commercial mortgage securitization transactions it participates in. Neither Nomura nor any of its affiliates has acted as a servicer of multifamily and commercial mortgage loans in the commercial mortgage securitizations it has participated in. Instead, the related depositor contracts with other entities to service the multifamily and commercial mortgage loans following their transfer into a trust fund for a series of offered certificates and the sale of related servicing rights by Nomura to the related servicer.
In connection with Nomura contributing mortgage loans to a commercial mortgage securitization transaction, Nomura 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 or arrange for a third party to do so on its behalf; and |
 |  |  |
| • | make various loan-specific representations and warranties. |
If it is later determined that any mortgage asset contributed by Nomura fails to materially conform to the specified representations and warranties or there is a material defect in or a material 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 Nomura will generally have an obligation to cure the subject defect, omission or breach or to repurchase or replace the subject mortgage asset.
Nomura’s Underwriting Standards
General. Set forth below is a discussion of certain general underwriting guidelines of Nomura generally applicable with respect to multifamily and commercial mortgage loans originated by Nomura. The underwriting guidelines described below may not—and generally will not—apply to multifamily and commercial mortgage loans acquired by Nomura 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, 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 ‘‘—Nomura’s Underwriting Standards’’ section.
Loan Analysis. Nomura performs both a credit analysis and a collateral analysis with respect to each multifamily and commercial mortgage loan it originates. 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 credit analysis of the borrower may include a review of third-party credit reports, reports resulting from judgment, lien or bankruptcy searches and, if applicable and available, the loan payment history of the borrower or its principals. The collateral analysis includes an analysis, in each case to the extent available, of historical property operating statements, rent rolls and a review of certain tenant leases. Depending on the type of real property involved and other relevant circumstances, Nomura’s underwriting staff and/or legal counsel wil l review leases of certain significant tenants. Nomura 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. Nomura generally requires third-party appraisals, as well as third party environmental reports, building condition reports and, if determined by Nomura to be applicable, seismic reports. Each report is reviewed for acceptability by Nomura or a third-party reviewer. The results of these reviews are incorporated into the underwriting analysis.
S-137
Table of ContentsLoan Approval. Prior to commitment, all multifamily and commercial mortgage loans to be originated by Nomura must be approved by one or more—depending on loan size—specified internal committees or by officers of Nomura, which 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 multifamily or commercial mortgage loans, Nomura 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 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 subject mortgaged property as well as debt secured by pledges of the ownership interests in the related borrower, any related debt services reserves, int erest guarantees and other sources of income or payment or factors expected to affect such matters.
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. Accordingly, based on such subjective assumptions and analysis, there can be no assurance that the underwriting analysis of any particular multifamily or commercial mortgage loan will conform to the foregoing in every respect or to any similar analysis which may be performed by other persons or entities.
For example, when calculating the debt service coverage ratio for a multifamily or commercial mortgage loan, Nomura 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; |
 |  |  |
| • | 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 or extension 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; |
S-138
Table of Contents |  |  |
| • | 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 |
 |  |  |
| • | 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 Nomura, 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, the related mortgaged property, loan-to-value ratio (as described below), reserves, guarantees or other factors. For example, Nomura 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, Nomura’s judgment of improved propert y and/or market performance in the future and/or other relevant factors.
While the foregoing discussion generally reflects how calculations of debt service coverage ratios are made, it does not necessarily reflect the specific calculations made to determine the DSC Ratios disclosed in this prospectus supplement. For information regarding the calculations of DSC Ratios in this prospectus supplement, see ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE MORTGAGE POOL—Additional Mortgage Loan Information’’.
Loan-to-Value Ratio. Nomura 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 Nomura, 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, the related mortgaged property, debt service coverage, reserves or other factors. For example, Nomura 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, Nomura’s judgment of improved property and/or performance in the future and/or other releva nt factors.
Additional Debt. When underwriting a multifamily or commercial mortgage loan, Nomura will take into account whether the subject real 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 Nomura 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 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 significantly below 1.20x and significantly above 80%, respectively, when calculated taking into account the existence of additional debt secured by the related mortgaged property or directly or indirectly by equity interests in the related borrower.
S-139
Table of ContentsAssessments of Property Condition. As part of the underwriting process, Nomura will analyze the condition of the real property for a prospective multifamily or commercial mortgage loan. To aid in that analysis, Nomura 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. Nomura will, in most cases, require that the real property 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, Nomura 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 prepar ing the appraisal. In some cases, however, Nomura 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. Nomura 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, Nomura may utilize an update of a prior environmental assessment, a transaction screen or a desktop review. Alternatively, Nomura 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 Nomura or the environmental consultant believes that special circumstances warrant such an analysis.
Depending on the findings of the initial environmental assessment, Nomura 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, Nomura 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, Nomura 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 consists of improvements located in California or in seismic zones 3 or 4, Nomura 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, Nomura 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 sub ject 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, Nomura will generally consider whether the use and occupancy of the related real property 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.
S-140
Table of ContentsWhere 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, Nomura 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 Nomura 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 Nomura’s judgment constitute adequate security for the related mortgage loan; |
 |  |  |
| • | whether 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 |
 |  |  |
| • | 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, Nomura may require a borrower under a multifamily or commercial mortgage loan to fund various escrows for taxes and/or insurance, capital expenses, replacement reserves, environmental remediation and/or other matters. Nomura 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 Nomura and, in the case of some mortgage loans, no escrows or reserves will be established. Furthermore, Nomura 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 peri odic evidence that the items for which the escrow or reserve would have been established are being paid or addressed. In some cases, Nomura may determine that establishing an escrow or reserve is not warranted given the amounts that would be involved and Nomura’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.
Notwithstanding the foregoing discussion under this ‘‘—Nomura’s Underwriting Standards’’ section, Nomura may include mortgage loans in a trust fund which vary from, or do not comply with, Nomura’s underwriting guidelines. In addition, in some cases, Nomura may not have strictly applied these underwriting guidelines as the result of a case-by-case permitted exception based upon other compensating factors.
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 acquired or originated and underwrote 28 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 567 billion Euros ($748 bi llion) and a stock market capitalization of approximately 24 billion Euros ($32 billion) as of December 2006.
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-141
Table of Contentsorigination 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 2006, 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, to approximately $1.5 billion in 2005, and to approximately $2.0 billion in 2006.
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
S-142
Table of Contentsdriven 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 un derwriting 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:
S-143
Table of Contents |  |  |
| • | 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; |
 |  |  |
| • | 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 coverage 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

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 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 consul tant 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 migh t have been the subject of a higher estimate had different assumptions been used.
S-145
Table of ContentsZoning 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 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 non-conforming 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 or another prior holder, together with a copy of the Mortgage Note); (ii)&nbs p;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

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 Deposito r 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, (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 666 Fifth Avenue Loan, the ING Hospitality Pool Loan, the Potomac Mills Loan, the Sawgrass Mills Loan and the 84 Lumber Industrial Pool 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 860G(a)(3) of the Internal Rev enue 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
S-149
Table of Contentsrequired 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, 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.
Wells Fargo Bank is acting as custodian of the Mortgage Files pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In that capacity, Wells Fargo Bank is responsible for holding and safeguarding the Mortgage Notes and other contents of the Mortgage Files on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders. Wells Fargo Bank maintains each Mortgage File in a separate file folder marked with a unique bar code to assure loan level file integrity and to assist in inventory management. Files are segregated by transaction and/or issuer. Wells Fargo Bank has been engaged in the mortgage document custody business for more than 25 years. Wells Fargo Bank maintains its commercial document custody facilities in Minneapolis, Minnesota. As of December 31, 2006, Wells Fargo Bank was acting as custodian of more than 43,000 commercial mortgage 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 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
S-150
Table of ContentsControlling 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 666 Fifth Avenue Loan, the ING Hospitality Pool Loan, the Potomac Mills Loan, the Sawgrass Mills Loan and the 84 Lumber Industrial Pool Loan.

(xiii) as of the Closing Date, each Mortgage Loan was not, and in the prior 12 months (or since the date of origination if such Mortgage Loan has been originated within the past 12 months), has not been, 30 days or more past due in respect of any Scheduled Payment;

(xv) an appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property was conducted in connection with the origination of such Mortgage Loan; and such appraisal satisfied either (A) the requirements of the ‘‘Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice’’ as adopted by the ‘‘Appraisal Standards Board of the Appraisal Professional Appraisal Practice’’ as adopted by the Appraisal Standards Board of the Appraisal Foundation, or (B) the guidelines in Title XI of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989, in either case as in effect on the date such Mortgage Loan was originated.
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 (or in the case of certain
S-153
Table of Contentsrepresentations and warranties, is deemed to materially and adversely affect 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 666 Fifth Avenue Loan, the ING Hospitality Pool Loan, Potomac Mills Loan, the Sawgrass Mills Loan and the 84 Lumber Industrial Pool Loan) or to repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan within such 90-day period at the applicable Purchase Price; provided that u nless 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’&rsquo ;) or breach of a representation and warranty (a ‘‘Breach’’) does not constitute a Defect or Breach, as the case may be, as
S-154
Table of Contentsto 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 su bstitution, (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 se curing 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 b elieves 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 SEC within fifteen days after the initial issuance of the Offered Certificates.

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) 101 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; (e) 142 domestic CMBS pools as of December 31, 2005, with a then current face value in excess of $148 billion; (f) 143 domestic CMBS pools as of December 31, 2006, with a then current face value in excess of $201 billion and (g) 144 domestic CMBS pools as of March 31, 2007 with a then current face value in excess of $217 billion. Additionally, LNR Partners has resolved over $17.6 billion of U.S. commercial and multifamily loans over the past 14 years, including approximately $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 200 2, $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, $2.4 billion of U.S. commercial and multifamily mortgage loans during 2005, $0.9 billion of U.S. commercial and multifamily mortgage loans during 2006 and $0.2 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2007.
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, California and Colorado, and in Europe, in England and Germany. As of March 31, 2007, LNR Partners had approximately 200 employees
S-160
Table of Contentsresponsible for the special servicing of commercial real estate assets. As of March 31, 2007, LNR Partners and its affiliates specially service a portfolio, which included over 24,000 assets in the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Europe, the Caribbean, Guam and Mexico with a then current face value in excess of $277 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 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, corresponds with master servicers on a monthly basis 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 jurisdicti on 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 Fitch, 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 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 Pooling and Servicing Agreement and, accordingly, will not have any material impact on the mortgage pool performance or the performance of the Certificates. Generally, LNR Partners’ servicing 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 mortgag e 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 five 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. Under certain circumstances, LNR Partners also has the obligation to make servicing advances and advances of delinquent debt service payments with respect to one collateralized debt obligation 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

Table of Contentswith 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 Certificateholders.
LNR Partners is not an affiliate of the depositor, the sponsors, the trust fund, 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 and will be the initial Controlling Class Representative. LNR Securities Holdings, LLC currently holds a $66,666,667 interest in the $200,000,000 junior mezzanine loan relating to the 666 Fifth Avenue Mortgaged Property. Otherwise, except for LNR Partners acting as Special Servicer and as servicer for the $200,000,000 junior mezzanine loan, there are no specific relationships that are material 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, the sponsors or the trust fund, 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 sponsors or the trust fund, 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.
The information set forth herein regarding the Special Servicer has been provided by LNR Partners.
Certain Special Servicing Provisions
With respect to the Mortgage Loans, 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 by the Special Servicer under certain circumstances. With respect to the 666 Fifth Avenue Loan, the rights of the Controlling Class Representative to advise on certain servicing actions will be shared with the holders of the related Pari Passu Companion Loans (or if the related Pari Passu Companion Loan has been securitized, by the controlling class representative with respect to the related securitization). With respect to the ING Hospitality Pool Loan, the right s of the Controlling Class Representative to advise on certain servicing actions will be shared with the controlling class representative with respect to the securitizations related to the related Pari Passu Companion Loans. With respect to the Potomac Mills Loan, the rights of the Controlling Class Representative to advise on certain servicing actions will be shared with the controlling class representative with respect to the securitizations related to the related Pari Passu Companion Loans. The rights of the controlling class representatives are as described in ‘‘SERVICING OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS—The Controlling Class Representative’’ in this prospectus supplement. 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 ‘&lsqu o;—The Controlling Class Representative’’ below including, with respect to the 666 Fifth Avenue Loan, the ING Hospitality Pool Loan, the Potomac Mills Loan and the Sawgrass Mills Loan, the right to replace the related special servicer solely with respect to the related Mortgage Loan. With respect to the 84 Lumber Industrial Pool Loan, if the Controlling Class Representative and the holder of the 84 Lumber Industrial
S-162
Table of ContentsPool Pari Passu Companion Loan are not able to agree on a course of action that satisfies the Servicing Standard under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement within a period of time specified in the related Intercreditor Agreement after receipt of a request for consent to any action by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, the Controlling Class Representative will be entitled to direct the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, on a course of action that satisfies the requirements set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, will be required to implement the course of action in accordance with the Servicing Standard. The Controlling Class Representative with respect to the Mortgage Loans is selected by holders of Certificates representing more than 50% of the Certificate Balance of the Controlling Class. See ‘‘—The Controlling Class Representative’’ below. Such holder (or holders) will be re quired 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, if no Class of Sequential Pay Certificates satisfies clause (ii) a bove, 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-3, Class A-PB, Class A-4, Class A-5 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 (other than the 666 Fifth Avenue Loan, the ING Hospitality Pool Loan and the Sawgrass Mills Loan) or related Companion Loan (other than the 666 Fifth Avenue Pari Passu Companion Loan, the ING Hospitality Pool Pari Passu Companion Loans and the Sawgrass Mills Loan Pari Passu Companion Loan) as to which (a) the related mortgagor has (i) failed to make any Balloon Payment or (ii) failed to make when due any Periodic Payment (other than a Balloon Payment), and such failure has continued unremedied for 60 days unless, with respect to any Co-Lender Loan, the related holder of the Companion Loan effects a cure in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement; (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 wi th 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, if applicable, the holders of the related Companion Loans) and is likely to continue unremedied beyond the applicable grace period under the terms of the Mortgage Loan (or, if no grace period is specified, for 60 days; 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 li kely 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 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 peri od is specified, for 60 days; 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
S-163
Table of Contentsreorganization 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 placem ent 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 Whole Loan (other than the 666 Fifth Avenue Loan, the ING Hospitality Pool Loan and the Sawgrass Mills 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 related Companion Loan (other than the 666 Fifth Avenue Pari Passu Companion Loan, the ING Hospitality Pool Pari Passu Companion Loans and the Sawgrass Mills Pari Passu Companion Loan) becomes specially serviced, then the related Whole Loan will become a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan. If a Co-Lender Loan (other than the 666 Fifth Avenue Loan, the ING Hospitality Pool Loan and Sawgrass Mills 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 Whole 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 (other than the 666 Fifth Avenue Pari Passu Companion Loan, the ING Hospitality Pool Pari Passu Companion Loans and the Sawgrass Mills Pari Passu Companion 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 ac quisition, 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.
A Mortgage Loan (other than the 666 Fifth Avenue Loan, the ING Hospitality Pool Loan and the Sawgrass Mills Loan) or related Companion Loan (other than the 666 Fifth Avenue Pari Passu Companion Loans, the ING Hospitality Pool Pari Passu Companion Loans and the Sawgrass Mills Pari Passu Companion Loans) 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
S-164
Table of Contentsconnection 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), (f) and (g) 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), either directly or through sub-servicers, 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.

(i) the GECMC 2007-C1 Master Servicer or the GECMC 2007-C1 Special Servicer, as applicable, has, as provided in the preceding paragraph, notified the holders of the 666 Fifth Avenue Whole Loan in writing of various actions that the GECMC 2007-C1 Master Servicer or the GECMC 2007-C1 Special Servicer, as applicable, proposes to take with respect to the workout or liquidation of the 666 Fifth Avenue Whole Loan; and
(ii) for 60 days following the first such notice, the 666 Fifth Avenue Directing Holder has objected to all of those proposed actions and has failed to suggest any alternative actions that the GECMC 2007-C1 Master Servicer or the GECMC 2007-C1 Special Servicer, as applicable, considers to be consistent with the servicing standard under the GECMC 2007-C1 Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
The 666 Fifth Avenue Directing Holder will have no liability to the other holders of the 666 Fifth Avenue Whole Loan for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action, in good faith pursuant to the related intercreditor agreement and the GECMC 2007-C1 Pooling and Servicing Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that the 666 Fifth Avenue Directing Holder will not be protected against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of negligent disregard of obligations or duties.

Table of ContentsThe principal compensation to be paid to the Master Servicer in respect of its servicing activities is the Master Servicing Fee.

The ‘‘Master Servicing Fee Rate’’ is a per annum rate ranging from 0.02000% to 0.10000%. As of the Cut-Off Date the weighted average Master Servicing Fee Rate will be approximately 0.02347% 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.

The ING Hospitality Pool Loan will be serviced by the Wachovia Bank 2007-C32 Master Servicer.
The Sawgrass Mills Loan will be serviced by the J.P. Morgan 2007-LDP12 Master Servicer.
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 0.35% per annum with a minimum monthly fee of $4,000, 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, insur ance 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 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 no t 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.

Table of ContentsIf 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 Loa n (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 0.02000% 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; provide d, 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 Fees, Workout Fees and/or Liquidation Fees) relat ed 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
S-178
Table of Contentsentitled 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 previo usly 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 Whole Loans, to certain rights of the holder of any related Companion Loan and subject to the Master Servicer’s right to approve certain transfers of the equity interests in the related borrowers for certain Mortgage Loans as described below) to modify, waive or amend any term of any Mortgage Loan (other than the 666 Fifth Avenue Loan, the ING Hospitality Pool Loan and the Sawgrass Mills 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 princi pal, 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 therei n 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 pri or 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. As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer may approve certain transfers of the equity interests in the related
S-179
Table of Contentsborrowers’ tenant-in-common syndications subject to the Servicing Standard, the related Mortgage Loan documents and certain limiting conditions as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, including Rating Agency approval of any such waivers for Mortgage Loans with certain outstanding Stated Principal Balances and that meet certain other financial thresholds.
Notwithstanding clause (b) of the preceding paragraph and, with respect to the Whole Loans (other than the 666 Fifth Avenue Loan, the ING Hospitality Pool Loan and the Sawgrass Mills Loan), 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/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 ye ars 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 the Class IO 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 hav e 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 Whole Loans (other than the 666 Fifth Avenue Loan, the ING Hospitality Pool Loan and the Sawgrass Mills Loan), 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 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 Whole 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

Table of Contentsstatements, (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 Whole Loan will be required to be structured so as to be consistent with the allocation and payment priorities in the related Mortgage Loan documents and the related Intercreditor Agreement, such that neither the Trust Fund as holder of the Whole 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, and other than with respect to the 666 Fifth Avenue Loan, the ING Hospitality Pool Loan and the Sawgrass Mills Loan, 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);
(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;
S-181
Table of Contents(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. LNR Securities Holdings, LLC, an affiliate of the Special Servicer, will be the initial Controlling Class Representative.
With respect to the 666 Fifth Avenue Loan, in general, the written approval of the holder of the 666 Fifth Avenue Loan (the Controlling Class Representative is the holder for this purpose) and the holders of the 666 Fifth Avenue Pari Passu Companion Loans that collectively represent a majority of the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the 666 Fifth Avenue Whole Loan will be required for material approvals and certain other actions with respect to the 666 Fifth Avenue Whole Loan and related Mortgaged Property, including, among other things, material modifications of the 666 Fifth Avenue Loan, foreclosure, any adoption or approval of a plan in bankruptcy of the related borrower, any renewal or replacement of the then existing insurance policies to the extent that the renewal or replacement policy does not comply with the terms of the loan documents or any material waiver, modification or amendment of any material insurance requirements under the loan docum ents, in each case if lender approval is required by the loan documents, and any declaration or waiver of any ‘‘event of default’’ (as defined in the loan documents) or acceleration of the maturity of the 666 Fifth Avenue Loan. Pursuant to the 666 Fifth Avenue Intercreditor Agreement and the GECMC 2007-C1 Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the GECMC 2007-C1 Master Servicer or GECMC 2007-C1 Special Servicer, as applicable, is not permitted to take any of the actions specified in the 666 Fifth Avenue Intercreditor Agreement unless it has notified the Controlling Class Representative and the holders of the 666 Fifth Avenue Pari Passu Companion Loans in writing, and the 666 Fifth Avenue Directing Holder has not objected in writing within 30 days of such notice and has been provided with all reasonably requested information with respect to the proposed action. If no written objection has been received by the GECMC 2007-C1 Master Servicer or GECMC 2007-C1 Special Servicer, as applicable, within such 30-day period, then the approval of the Controlling Class Representative and the holders of the 666 Fifth Avenue Pari Passu Companion Loans will be deemed to have been given.
Pursuant to the Wachovia Bank 2007-C32 Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the ING Hospitality Pool Intercreditor Agreement, with respect to the ING Hospitality Pool Loan, the Controlling Class Representative will have certain consultation rights it exercises with the controlling class representative under the Wachovia Bank 2007-C32 Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the ‘‘Wachovia Bank 2007-C32 Controlling Class Representative’’) in connection with the rights given to the Wachovia Bank 2007-C32 Controlling Class Representative under the Wachovia Bank 2007-C32 Pooling and Servicing Agreement to direct the Wachovia Bank 2007-C32 Master Servicer and/or Wachovia Bank 2007-C32 Special Servicer with respect to the servicing of the ING Hospitality Pool Loan and the related Pari Passu Companion Loans. In general, in the event that the Wachovia Bank 2007-C32 Controlling Class Representative is required to give its consent or advice or otherwise take any action with respect to the ING Hospitality Pool Loan, the Wachovia Bank 2007-C32 Controlling Class Representative will generally be required to confer with the Controlling Class Representative regarding such advice or consent. In the event that the Wachovia Bank 2007-C32 Controlling Class Representative and the Controlling Class Representative disagree with respect to such advice, consent or action, the ING Hospitality Pool Intercreditor Agreement and the Wachovia Bank 2007-C32 Pooling and Servicing Agreement provide that the decision of the
S-182
Table of ContentsWachovia Bank 2007-C32 Controlling Class Representative will control in the event such disagreement is not resolved within 10 business days.
It is expected that pursuant to the J.P. Morgan 2007-LDP12 Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Sawgrass Mills Intercreditor Agreement, the Controlling Class Representative will have certain consultation rights it exercises with the controlling class representative under the J.P. Morgan 2007-LDP12 Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the ‘‘J.P. Morgan 2007-LDP12 Controlling Class Representative’’) in connection with the rights given to the J.P. Morgan 2007-LDP12 Controlling Class Representative under the J.P. Morgan 2007-LDP12 Pooling and Servicing Agreement to direct the J.P. Morgan 2007-LDP12 Master Servicer and/or J.P. Morgan 2007-LDP12 Special Servicer with respect to the servicing of the Sawgrass Mills Whole Loan. In general, in the event that the J.P. Morgan 2007-LDP12 Controlling Class Representative is required to give its consent or advice or otherwise take any action with respect to the Sawgrass Mills Loan, the J.P. Morgan 2007-LDP12 Controlling Class Representative will generally be required to confer with the Controlling Class Representative regarding such advice or consent. In the event that the J.P. Morgan 2007-LDP12 Controlling Class Representative and the Controlling Class Representative disagree with respect to such advice, consent or action, it is anticipated that the Sawgrass Mills Intercreditor Agreement and the J.P. Morgan 2007-LDP12 Pooling and Servicing Agreement will provide that the decision of the J.P. Morgan 2007-LDP12 Controlling Class Representative will control, in the event such disagreement is not resolved within 10 business days.
With respect to the 84 Lumber Industrial Pool Loan, the Controlling Class Representative, after consultation with the holder of the 84 Lumber Industrial Pool Pari Passu Companion Loan, will be entitled to terminate the Special Servicer with respect to the special servicing of the 84 Lumber Industrial Pool Whole Loan at any time, with or without cause, and if such holders are not able to agree on such appointment and removal within a period of time specified in the related Intercreditor Agreement, the Controlling Class Representative will be entitled to appoint a replacement Special Servicer.
Further, notwithstanding any of the control rights of the holders of the Subordinate Companion Loans described in the ‘‘Description of the Mortgage Pool—Certain Information Relating to the Renaissance Loan, the Central/Eastern Industrial Pool Loan and the 4929 Wilshire Loan’’ and ‘‘—Certain Information Relating to the Sawgrass Mills Loan’’ and ‘‘—Certain Information Relating to the Nordic Cold Storage Pool Loan’’ in this prospectus supplement, 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, 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 oblig ations 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 Whole 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 (other than the 666 Fifth Avenue Loan, the ING Hospitality Pool Loan and the Sawgrass Mills
S-183
Table of ContentsLoan) becomes a Defaulted Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer to determine the fair value of the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the Servicing Standard. The 666 Fifth Avenue Loan will be serviced under the GECMC 2007-C1 Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any actions taken following a default will be in accordance with the terms thereof. See ‘‘—Servicing of the 666 Fifth Avenue Loan’’ in this prospectus supplement. The ING Hospitality Pool Loan will be serviced under the Wachovia Bank 2007-C32 Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any actions taken following a default will be in accordance with the terms thereof. See ‘‘—Servicing of the ING Hospitality Pool Loan’’ in this prospectus supplement. The Sawgrass Mills Loan will be serviced under the J.P. Morgan 2007-LDP12 Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any actions taken following a default will be in accordance with the terms thereof. See ‘‘—Servicing of the Sawgrass Mills Loan&rsqu o;’ in this prospectus supplement. A ‘‘Defaulted Mortgage Loan’’ is a Mortgage Loan (i) that is delinquent 60 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 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, 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 and the Special Servicer will each 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 Special Servicer or any assignee thereof within 60 days of a Mortgage Loan becoming a Defaulted Mortgage Loan, then the Special Servicer shall assign the Purchase Option to the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder for 15 days. If the Purchase Option is not exercised by the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder or its assignee within s uch 15 day period, then the Purchase Option shall revert to the Special Servicer.
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, (iii) the modification or pay-off (full or discounted) of the Defaulted Mortgage Loan in connection with a workout and (iv) in the case of each A/B Loan, the purchase of the related Mortgage Loan by the holder of the related Subordinate Companion Loan. 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
S-184
Table of ContentsProperty 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 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 3 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 5 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, 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 th e 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; provided, further, 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.
The Purchase Option with respect to each Mortgage Loan with a Subordinate Companion Loan is subject to the right of the holder of the related Subordinate Companion Loan to exercise its option to purchase the related Mortgage Loan following a default as described under the related Intercreditor Agreement and ‘‘Description of the Mortgage Pool—Certain Information Relating to the Renaissance Loan, the Central/Eastern Industrial Pool Loan and the 4929 Wilshire Loan’’ and ‘‘—Certain Information Relating to the Sawgrass Mills Loan’’ and ‘‘—Certain Information Relating to the Nordic Cold Storage Pool Loan’’ in this prospectus supplement.
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 pe rform 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
S-185
Table of ContentsPooling 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 Sectio n 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 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 th e 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 (other than the Mortgaged Property related to the 666 Fifth Avenue Loan, the ING Hospitality Pool Loan and the Sawgrass Mills Loan) 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 and other than the 666 Fifth Avenue Loan, the ING Hospitality Pool Loan and the Sawgrass Mills Loan) or the Special Servicer (in the case of Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans but other than the 666 Fifth Avenue Loan, the ING Hospitality Pool Loan and the Sawgrass Mills Loan) 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; provided, however, 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. 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.
S-186
Table of ContentsThe 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 (other than the Mortgaged Property related to the 666 Fifth Avenue Loan, the Mortgaged Property related to ING Hospitality Pool Loan and the Mortgaged Property related to the Sawgrass Mills Loan) 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 perfo rming 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.

Table of Contents Description of the Certificates
General
The Wachovia Bank Commercial Mortgage Trust, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-C33 (the ‘‘Certificates’’) will be issued pursuant to a pooling and servicing agreement, dated as of August 1, 2007, 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 coll ections 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 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); and (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.
The Certificates consist of the following classes (each, a ‘‘Class’’) designated as: (i) the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-PB, Class A-4, Class A-5 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, Class P, Class Q and Class S Certificates (collectively, the ‘‘Subordinate Certificates’’ and, together with the Class A Certificates, the ‘‘Sequential Pay Certificates’’); (iii) the Class IO Certificates (collectively, with the Sequential Pay Certificates, the ‘‘Regular Certificates’’); (iv) the Class R-I and Class R-II Certificates (together, the ‘‘REMIC Residual Certificates’’); and (v) the Class Z Certificates.
Only the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-PB, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-1A, Class IO, Class A-M, Class A-J, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E and Class F Certificates (collectively, the ‘‘Offered Certificates’’) are offered by this prospectus supplement. The Class G, Class H, Class J, Class K, Class L, Class M, Class N, Class O, Class P, Class Q and Class S 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 ‘&lsq uo;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.
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 Agr eement 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’’.
S-188
Table of ContentsSince 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 IO 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 IO 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.

Table of ContentsCertificate Balances and Notional Amount
Subject to a permitted variance of plus or minus 5.0%, the respective Classes of Sequential Pay Certificates described below will have the Certificate Balances or Notional Amount representing the approximate percentage of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance as set forth in the following table:

 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |

The ‘‘Certificate Balance’’ of any Class of Sequential Pay 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 in each case will be reduced on each Distribution Date by any distributions of principal actually made on such Class of Certificates on such Distribution Date, and further by any Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund Expenses actually allocated to such Class of Certificates on such Distribution Date.
The Class IO Certificates do not have a Certificate Balance, but represent the right to receive the distributions of interest in an amount equal to the aggregate interest accrued on its notional amount (the ‘‘Notional Amount’’). The Class IO Certificates have 25 separate components (each, a ‘‘Component’’), each corresponding to a different Class of Sequential Pay Certificates . Each such Component has the same letter and/or numerical designation as its related Class of Sequential Pay Certificates , as applicable. The component balance (the ‘‘Component Balance’’) of each Component will equal the Certificate Balance of the corresponding Class of Sequential Pay Certificates outstanding from time to time.
On each Distribution Date, the Notional Amount of the Class IO Certificates will be equal to the aggregate outstanding Component Balances of the Components on such date. The initial Notional Amount of the Class IO Certificates will equal approximately $3,602,123,586 (subject to a permitted variance of plus or minus 5.0%).
The Certificate Balance of any Class of Sequential Pay 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
S-190
Table of Contentssuch amount, ‘‘Certificate Deferred Interest’’). With respect to the Sequential Pay Certificates, 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-3, Class A-PB, Class A-4, Class A-5 and Class A-1A Certificates, which amounts shall be applied pro rata (based on the Certificate Balances of the remaining Classes)) to such Classes. 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 will result in an increase in the Notional Amount of the Class IO 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 for such date that remains after the required distributions have been made on all the Regular Certificates. 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.
Pass-Through Rates
The Pass-Through Rates applicable to each of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-PB, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-1A, Class A-M, Class A-J, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E and Class F 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 Component will be deemed to have a Pass-Through Rate equal to the Pass-Through Rate of the related Class of Certificates.
The Pass-Through Rate applicable to the Class IO Certificates for each subsequent Distribution Date will, in general, equal the weighted average of the Strip Rates for the components (the ‘‘Components’’) for such Distribution Date (weighted on the basis of the respective Component Balances of such Components outstanding immediately prior to such Distribution Date). The ‘‘Strip Rate’’ in respect of any Class of Components for any Distribution Date will, in general, equal the Weighted Average Net Mortgage Rate for such Distribution Date, minus the Pass-Through Rate for the Class of Sequential Pay Certificates, corresponding to such Component (but in no event will any Strip Rate be less than zero).
In the case of each Class of Regular Certificates, 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 IO Certificates, the Notional Amount) of such Class of Certificates 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 Regular Certificates will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. With respect to any Class of Regular Certificates 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 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 as of the commencement of the related Collection Period, weighted on the basis of their respective Stated Principal Balances 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 su ch Mortgage Loan will be calculated without regard to such event.
The ‘‘Net Mortgage Rate’’ for each Mortgage Loan 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
S-191
Table of Contentsresult of not repaying the outstanding principal amount of such ARD Loan on or prior to the related Anticipated Repayment Date), minus (y) the applicable Administrative Cost Rate for such Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, because no Mortgage Loan, other than 1 Mortgage Loan (loan number 152), representing 0.1% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance (0.1% of the Cut-Off Date Group 1 Balance), 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 Regular Certificates), then, solely for purposes of calculating the Weighted Average Net Mortgage Rate for each Distribution Date, the Mortgage Rate of each Mortgage Loan 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 l oan 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, 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 presidin g 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 af ter 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 September 2007.
Distributions
General. Except as described below with respect to the Class Z 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
S-192
Table of Contents(the ‘‘Certificateholders’’) at the close of business on the last 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 Cert ificates 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 Certificates may receive distributions will be the Distribution Date occurring in September, 2007.
The Available Distribution Amount. The aggregate amount available for distributions of interest and principal to Certificateholders (other than the Class R-I, Class R-II and Class Z 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 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 or Distribution 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); and
(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;
(b) all P&I Advances made by the Master Servicer or the Trustee with respect to such Distribution Date;
(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 (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 or, if such year is not a leap year, in January, the aggregate of the Interest Reserve Amounts then on deposit in the Interest Reserve Account in respect of each Mortgage Loan.
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.
S-193
Table of ContentsAll amounts received by the Trust Fund with respect to any Whole 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.
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 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 (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’’).

provided that on each Distribution Date, if any, after the aggregate of the Certificate Balances of the Subordinate Certificates has been reduced to zero as a result of the allocations of Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund Expenses, and in any event on the final Distribution Date in connection with a termination of the Trust Fund (see ‘‘—Termination’’ below), the payments of principal to be made as contemplated by clauses (3), (4), (5), (6), (7), (8), (9) and (10) above with respect to the Class A-1 Certificates, the Class A-2 Certificates, the Class A-3 Certificates, the Class A-PB Certificates, the Class A-4 Certificates, the Class A-5 Certificates and the Class A-1A Certificates will be so made to the holders of the respective Classes of such Certificates which remain outstanding up to an amount equal to, and pro rata as among such Classes in accordance with, the respective then outstanding Certificate Balances of such Classes and without regard to the Principal Distribution Amount for such date.
Distributable Certificate Interest. The ‘‘Distributable Certificate Interest’’ equals with respect to each Class of Sequential Pay Certificates for each Distribution Date, the Accrued Certificate Interest in respect of such Class of Certificates for such Distribution Date, reduced (other than in the case of the Class IO 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 aggreg ate 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 Sequential Pay Certificates.
The ‘‘Accrued Certificate Interest’’ in respect of each Class of Sequential Pay Certificates for each Distribution Date will equal one month’s interest at the Pass-Through Rate applicable to such Class of Certificates 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 IO 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 IO 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-201
Table of ContentsThe portion of the Net Aggregate Prepayment Interest Shortfall for any Distribution Date that is allocable to each Class of Sequential Pay Certificates 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 for such Distribution Date, and the denominator of which is equal to the aggregate Accrued Certificate Interest in respect of all Classes of Sequential Pay Certificates for such Distribution Date.
Any such Prepayment Interest Shortfalls allocated to the applicable Class or Classes of Certificates, 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 Whole 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, to 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 ING Hospitality Pool Whole Loan, which shall be allocated, pro r ata, among the ING Hospitality Pool Pari Passu Companion Loans and the ING Hospitality Pool Loan, with any Prepayment Interest Shortfall allocated to the ING Hospitality Pool Loan, net of amounts payable by the Master Servicer, to be included in the Net Aggregate Prepayment Interest Shortfall. This allocation will cause a Prepayment Interest Shortfall with respect to the Potomac Mills Whole Loan, which shall be allocated, pro rata, among the Potomac Mills Pari Passu Companion Loan and the Potomac Mills Loan, with any Prepayment Interest Shortfall allocated to the Potomac Mills Loan, net of amounts payable by the Master Servicer, to be included in the Net Aggregate Prepayment Interest Shortfall. This allocation will cause a Prepayment Interest Shortfall with respect to the Sawgrass Mills Whole Loan, which shall be allocated, pro rata, among the Sawgrass Mills Pari Passu Companion Loans and the Sawgrass Mills Loan, with any Prepayment Interest Shortfall allocated to the Sawgrass Mills Loan, net of amounts payable by the Master Servicer, to be included in the Net Aggregate Prepayment Interest Shortfall. This allocation will cause a Prepayment Interest Shortfall with respect to the 84 Lumber Industrial Pool Whole Loan, which shall be allocated, pro rata, among the 84 Lumber Industrial Pool Pari Passu Companion Loan and the 84 Lumber Industrial Pool Loan, with any Prepayment Interest Shortfall allocated to the 84 Lumber Industrial Pool Loan, net of amounts payable by the Master Servicer, to be included in the Net Aggregate Prep ayment Interest Shortfall.
Principal Distribution Amount. So long as the Class A-PB Certificates or the Class A-5 Certificates 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 (i) the Class A-PB Certificates and the Clas s A-5 Certificates or (ii) 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:
(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 Mortgage Loans 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 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
S-202
Table of ContentsCollection 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 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 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 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 re lated 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 Mortg age 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, 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 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. Therefore, there can be no assurance that the balance of the Class A-PB Certificates on an y 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 and the Class A-3 Certificates 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
S-203
Table of Contentsthereon 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 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 (other than the Mortgaged Property related to 666 Fifth Avenue Loan, the Mortgaged Property related to the ING Hospitality Pool Loan and the Mortgaged Property related to the Sawgrass Mills Loan) 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 Proper ty (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 Whole Loan, payable with respect to the related Mortgage Loan pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement) will be distributed in respect of the Offered Certificates and the Class G Certificates, Class H Certificates, Class J Certificates and Class K 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 o n 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 that 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
S-204
Table of Contentsrequires, 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 and the Class G Certificates, Class H Certificates, Class J Certificates and Class K 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 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 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 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 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 to the holders of the Class IO Certificates.
The ‘‘Discount Rate’’ applicable to any Class of Offered Certificates and the Class G Certificates, Class H Certificates, Class J Certificates and Class K 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 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 Mo rtgage 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 Whole 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 and the Class IO Certificates and each other such Class of Subordinate Certificates, if any, with a higher payment priority. This subordination
S-205
Table of Contentsprovided by the Subordinate Certificates is intended to enhance the likelihood of timely receipt by the holders of the Class A Certificates and the Class IO 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 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, Class D Certificates, Class E Certificates and Class F 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 ea ch such Class, principal equal to the entire related Certificate Balance. The protection afforded (a) to the holders of the Class F Certificates by means of the subordination of the Non-Offered Certificates and (b) to the holders of the Class E Certificates by means of the subordination of the Non-Offered Certificates and the Class F Certificates and (c) to the holders of the Class D Certificates by means of the subordination of the Class E Certificates, the Class F Certificates and the Non-Offered Certificates and (d) to the holders of the Class C Certificates by means of the subordination of the Class D Certificates, the Class E Certificates, the Class F Certificates and the Non-Offered Certificates and (e) to the holders of the Class B Certificates by means of the subordination of the Class C Certificates, the Class D Certificates, the Class E Certificates, the Class F Certificates and the Non-Offered Certi ficates and (f) to the holders of the Class A-J Certificates, by means of the subordination of the Class B Certificates, the Class C Certificates, the Class D Certificates, the Class E Certificates, the Class F Certificates and the Non-Offered Certificates and (g) to the holders of the Class A-M Certificates by means of the subordination of the Class A-J Certificates, the Class B Certificates, the Class C Certificates, the Class D Certificates, the Class E Certificates, the Class F Certificates and the Non-Offered Certificates and (h) to the holders of the Class A Certificates and the Class IO Certificates 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&rs quo;’ above and (ii) 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 have been reduced to zero, the Class A-5 Certificates will receive principal payments only after the Certificate Balance of each of the Class A-1 Certificates, the Class A-2 Certificates, the Class A-3 Certificates, the Class A-PB Certificates and the Class A-4 Certificates has been reduced to zero, the Class A-4 Certificates will receive principal payments only after the Certificate Balance of each of the Class A-1 Certificates, the Class A-2 Certificates, Class A-3 Certificates, the Class A-PB Certificates have been reduced to zero, the Class A-PB Certificates will receive principal payments (other than the planned principal payments as described in this prospectus supplement) only after the Certificate Balances of the Class A-1, Class A-2 and Class A-3 Certificates have been reduced to zero, the Class A-3 will receive principal payments only after the Certificate Balance of each of the Class A-1 Certificates and the Class A-2 Certificates have been reduced to zero and the Certificate Balance of the Class A-PB has been reduced to the Class A-PB Planned Principal Balance, 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, to the ex tent such Classes of Certificates 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 and Class IO 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.
Allocation to the Class A Certificates 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 at a
S-206
Table of Contentsproportionately 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, the percentage interest in the Trust Fund evidenced by such Class A Certificates 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 by the Subordinate Certificates.
On each Distribution Date, following all distributions on the Certificates 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, in each case, in reduction of their respective Certificate Balances as follows, but, with respect to the Classes of Sequential Pay Certificates, in the aggregate only to the extent the aggregate Certificate Balance of all Classes of Sequential Pay Certificates remaining outstanding after giving effect to the distributions on such Distribution Date exceeds the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Pool that will be outstanding immediately following such Distribution Date: first, to the Class S Certificates, until the remaining Certificate Balance of such Class of Certificates is reduced to zero; second, to the Class Q Certificates, until the remaining Certificate Balance of such Class of Certificates is reduced to zero; third, to the Class P Certificates, until the remaining Certificate Balance of such Class of Certificates is reduced to zero; fourth, to the Class O Certificates, until the remai ning Certificate Balance of such Class of Certificates is reduced to zero: fifth, to the Class N Certificates, until the remaining Certificate Balance of such Class of Certificates is reduced to zero; sixth, to the Class M Certificates, until the remaining Certificate Balance of such Class of Certificates is reduced to zero; seventh, to the Class L Certificates, until the remaining Certificate Balance of such Class of Certificates is reduced to zero; eighth, to the Class K Certificates, until the remaining Certificate Balance of such Class of Certificates is reduced to zero; ninth, to the Class J Certificates, until the remaining Certificate Balance of such Class of Certificates is reduced to zero; tenth, to the Class H Certificates, until the remaining Certificate Balance of such Class of Certificates is reduced to zero; eleventh, to the Class G Certificates, until the remaining Certificate Balance of such Class of Certificates is reduced to zero; twelfth, to the Class F Certificates, until the remaining Certificate Balance of such Class of Certificates is reduced to zero; thirteenth, to the Class E Certificates, until the remaining Certificate Balance of such Class of Certificates is reduced to zero; fourteenth, to the Class D Certificates, until the remaining Certificate Balance of such Class of Certificates is reduced to zero; fifteenth, to the Class C Certifi cates, until the remaining Certificate Balance of such Class of Certificates is reduced to zero; sixteenth, to the Class B Certificates, until the remaining Certificate Balance of such Class of Certificates is reduced to zero; seventeenth, to the Class A-J Certificates, until the remaining Certificate Balance of such Class of Certificates is reduced to zero; eighteenth, 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, pro rata, in proportion to their respective outstanding Certificate Balances, until the remaining Certificate Balances of such Classes of Certificates are reduced to zero.
Generally, any losses and expenses that are associated with the Whole 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 other 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 666 Fifth Avenue Whole Loan will be allocated pro rata to the 666 Fifth Avenue Loan and the 666 Fifth Avenue Pari Passu Companion Loans. Any losses and expenses with respect to the ING Hospitality Pool Whole Loan will be allocated pro rata to the ING Hospitality Pool Loan, and the ING Hospitality Pool Pari Passu Companion Loans. Any losses and expenses with respect to the Potomac Mills Whole Loan will be allocated pro rata to the Potomac Mills Loan, and the Potomac Mills Pari Passu Companion Loans. Any losses and expenses with respect to the Sawgrass Mills Whole Loan will be allocated first, pro rata to the Sawgrass Mills Subordinate Companion Loans, and second, pro rata to the Sawgrass Mills Loan and the Sawgrass Mills Pari Passu Companion Loans. Any losses and expenses with respect to the 84 Lumber
S-207
Table of ContentsIndustrial Pool Whole Loan will be allocated pro rata to the 84 Lumber Industrial Pool Loan and the 84 Lumber Industrial Pool 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 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 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 ex penses 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 Inc ome 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 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) and any Assumed Scheduled Payments, net of related Master Servicing
S-208
Table of ContentsFees in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as provided below, 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, 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 p roceeding 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) or, with respect to the 666 Fifth Avenue Loan, the ING Hospitality Loan or the Sawgrass Mills Loan, if an appraisal reduction has been made under the GECMC 2007-C1 Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Wachovia Bank 2007-C32 Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the J.P. Morgan 2007-LDP12 Pooling and Servicing Agreement, respectively, 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 even t 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’’ bel ow 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, in each 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. The Master Servicer and Trustee will be required to make P&I Advances with respect to the 66 6 Fifth Avenue Loan, the ING Hospitality Pool Loan, the Potomac Mills Loan, the Sawgrass Mills Loan and the 84 Lumber Industrial Pool Loan, subject to the same limitations, and with the same rights, as described above.
With respect to the 666 Fifth Avenue Loan, the Master Servicer shall make its determination that it has made a P&I Advance on such Mortgage Loan that is a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance with respect to such Mortgage Loan, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance independently of any determination made by the master servicer with respect to a commercial mortgage securitization holding any 666 Fifth Avenue Pari Passu Companion Loan. If the Master Servicer determines that a proposed P&I Advance, if made, or any outstanding P&I Advance with respect to one of such Mortgage Loans previously made, would be, or is, as applicable, a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Master Servicer will be required to provide the master servicer of each securitization that holds a related 666 Fifth Avenue Pari Passu Companion Loan written notice of such determination within one business day of the date of such determination. If the Master Servicer receives written notice from any such master servicer that it has determined, with respect to the related 666 Fifth Avenue Pari Passu Companion Loan, that any proposed advance of principal and/or interest would be, or any outstanding advance of principal and/or interest is, a nonrecoverable advance, then such determination will be binding on the Certificateholders and neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee will be permitted to make any additional P&I Advances with respect to the related Mortgage Loan unless the Master Servicer has consulted with the other master servicers of the related securitizations and they agree that circumstances
S-209
Table of Contentswith respect to such Mortgage Loan and any related 666 Fifth Avenue Pari Passu Companion Loan have changed such that a proposed P&I Advance in respect of the related Mortgage Loan would not be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any of the other master servicers with respect to a 666 Fifth Avenue Pari Passu Companion Loan determines that any advance of principal or interest with respect to such 666 Fifth Avenue Pari Passu Companion Loan would not be a nonrecoverable advance, then the Master Servicer will continue to have the discretion to determine that any proposed P&I Advance or outstanding P&I Advance, with respect to the related Mortgage Loan, would be, or is, as applicable, a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance. Once such a determination is made by the Master Servicer or the Master Servicer receives written notice of such determination by any of the other master servicers with respect to any 666 Fifth Avenue Pari Passu Companion Loan, neither the Master Servicer no r the Trustee will be permitted to make any additional P&I Advances with respect to the 666 Fifth Avenue Loan, except as set forth in this paragraph. In addition, the Master Servicer will not be required to abide by any determination of non-recoverability by a master servicer that is no longer an ‘‘approved’’ master servicer by any of the rating agencies then rating the Certificates.
With respect to the ING Hospitality Pool Loan, the Master Servicer shall make its determination that it has made a P&I Advance on such Mortgage Loan that is a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance with respect to such Mortgage Loan, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance independently of any determination made by the Wachovia Bank 2007-C32 Master Servicer. If the Master Servicer determines that a proposed P&I Advance, if made, or any outstanding P&I Advance with respect to one of such Mortgage Loans previously made, would be, or is, as applicable, a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Master Servicer will be required to provide the Wachovia Bank 2007-C32 Master Servicer written notice of such determination within one business day of the date of such determination. If the Master Servicer receives written notice from the Wachovia Bank 2007-C32 Master Servicer that it has determined, with respect to the related ING Hospitality Pool Pari Passu Companion Loan, that any proposed advance of principal and/or interest would be, or any outstanding advance of principal and/or interest is, a nonrecoverable advance, then such determination will be binding on the Certificateholders and neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee will be permitted to make any additional P&I Advances with respect to the related Mortgage Loan unless the Master Servicer has consulted with the Wachovia Bank 2007-C32 Master Servicer and they agree that circumstances with respect to such Mortgage Loan and any related ING Hospitality Pool Pari Passu Companion Loan have changed such that a proposed P&I Advance in respect of the related Mortgage Loan would not be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Wachovia Bank 2007-C32 Master Servicer determines that any advance of principal or interest with respect to the ING Hospitality Pool Pari Passu Companion Loan would not be a nonrecoverable advance, then the Master Servicer will continue to have the discretion to determine that any proposed P&I Advance or outstanding P&I Advance, with respect to the related Mortgage Loan, would be, or is, as applicable, a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance. Once such a determination is made by the Master Servicer or the Master Servicer receives written notice of such determination by the Wachovia Bank 2007-C32 Master Servicer with respect to the ING Hospitality Pool Pari Passu Companion Loan, neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee will be permitted to make any additional P&I Advances with respect to the ING Hospitality Pool Loan, except as set forth in this paragraph. In addition, the Master Servicer will not be required to abide by any determination of non-recoverability by a master servicer that is no longer an ‘‘approved’’ master servicer by any of the rating agencies then rating the Certificates.
With respect to the Sawgrass Mills Loan, the Master Servicer shall make its determination that it has made a P&I Advance on such Mortgage Loan that is a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance with respect to such Mortgage Loan, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance independently of any determination made by the J.P. Morgan 2007-LDP12 Master Servicer. If the Master Servicer determines that a proposed P&I Advance, if made, or any outstanding P&I Advance with respect to one of such Mortgage Loans previously made, would be, or is, as applicable, a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Master Servicer will be required to provide the J.P. Morgan 2007-LDP12 Master Servicer written notice of such determination within one business day of the date of such determination. If the Master Servicer receives written notice from the J.P. Morgan 2007-LDP12 Master Servicer that it has determined, with respect to the related Sawgra ss Mills Pari Passu Companion Loan,
S-210
Table of Contentsthat any proposed advance of principal and/or interest would be, or any outstanding advance of principal and/or interest is, a nonrecoverable advance, then such determination will be binding on the Certificateholders and neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee will be permitted to make any additional P&I Advances with respect to the related Mortgage Loan unless the Master Servicer has consulted with the J.P. Morgan 2007-LDP12 Master Servicer and they agree that circumstances with respect to such Mortgage Loan and any related Sawgrass Mills Pari Passu Companion Loan have changed such that a proposed P&I Advance in respect of the related Mortgage Loan would not be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the J.P. Morgan 2007-LDP12 Master Servicer determines that any advance of principal or interest with respect to the Sawgrass Mills Pari Passu Companion Loan would not be a nonrecoverable advance, then the Master Servicer will continue to have the discretion to determine t hat any proposed P&I Advance or outstanding P&I Advance, with respect to the related Mortgage Loan, would be, or is, as applicable, a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance. Once such a determination is made by the Master Servicer or the Master Servicer receives written notice of such determination by the J.P. Morgan 2007-LDP12 Master Servicer with respect to the Sawgrass Mills Pari Passu Companion Loan, neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee will be permitted to make any additional P&I Advances with respect to the Sawgrass Mills Loan, except as set forth in this paragraph. In addition, the Master Servicer will not be required to abide by any determination of non-recoverability by a master servicer that is no longer an ‘‘approved’’ master servicer by any of the rating agencies then rating the 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 (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 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
S-211
Table of ContentsServicing 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.
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 re ceived on the related Mortgage Loan in 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; 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 ‘‘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 S ervicer 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 for any Advance that it has determined is not recoverable out of collections on the related Mortgage Loan or reimburses itself out of general collections, related to principal only, on the Mortgage Pool 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
S-212
Table of Contentsdistributable 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.
Appraisal Reductions
Other than with respect to the 666 Fifth Avenue Loan, the ING Hospitality Pool Loan and the Sawgrass Mills Loan, upon the earliest of the date (each such date, a ‘‘Required Appraisal Date’’) that (1) any Mortgage 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 related Mortgaged Property, (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 has not been paid on its scheduled matur ity date 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 determi nation to be made by the Master Servicer on a monthly basis as described below. The Appraisal Reduction Amount for any Required Appraisal Loan will be calculated by the Master Servicer and will equal the excess, if any, of (a) the sum (without duplication), as of the first Determination Date immediately succeeding the Master 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, (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, 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, (iv) all related unreimbursed Advances (plus accrued in terest 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
S-213
Table of Contentssum of (i) all escrows, reserves and letters of credit held for the purposes of reserves (provided that such letters of credit may be drawn upon for reserve purposes under the 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 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, 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. 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 purp ose 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. With respect to the 666 Fifth Avenue Loan, the appraisal reduction amount will be calculated under the GECMC 2007-C1 Pooling and Servicing Agreement in a manner generally the same as an Appraisal Reduction Amount as described above. See ‘‘—Servicing of the 666 Fifth Avenue Loan’’ in this prospectus supplement. With respect to the ING Hospitality Pool Loan, the appraisal reduction amount will be calculated under the Wachovia Bank 2007-C32 Pooling and Servicing Agreement in a manner generally the same as an Appraisal Reduction Amount as described above. See ‘‘—Servicing of the ING Hospitality Pool Loan’’ in this prospectus supplement. With respect to the Sawgrass Mills Loan, the appraisal reduction amount is expected to be calculated under t he J.P. Morgan 2007-LDP12 Pooling and Servicing Agreement in a manner generally the same as an Appraisal Reduction Amount as described above. See ‘‘Servicing of the Sawgrass Mills Loan’’ in this prospectus supplement.

Assumed Final Distribution Date; Rated Final Distribution Date
The ‘‘Assumed Final Distribution Date’’ with respect to any Class of 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, 2012 |
Class A-2 |  |  | July 15, 2012 |

S-219
Table of ContentsThe 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 February 2051, 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) 4.0% in the case of the Class IO Certificates and (ii) in the case of any Class of Sequential Pay Certificates, a percentage equal to the product of 96.0% 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, 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 and Class Z 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-3 Certificates, Class A - -PB Certificates, Class A-4 Certificates, Class A-5 Certificates and Class A-1A Certificates 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 the Master Servicer nor 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
S-220
Table of ContentsREO Property, and (ii) the purchase of all of the Mortgage Loans and all of the REO Properties, if any, remaining in the Trust Fund by 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 the Master Servicer, in that order, and distribution or provision for distribution thereof to the Certificateholders. Certain of the parties purchasing the assets of the Trust Fund mentione d above may be affiliates of the Depositor, the Sponsors, the Master Servicer, the Special 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.
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 Mast er 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 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 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 remaining outstanding.
An exchange by any Certificateholder of all of the then outstanding Certificates (other than 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 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-3 Certificates, Class A-PB Certificates, Class A-4 Certificates, Class A-5 Certificates, Class A-1A Certificates, Class A-M Certificates, Class A-J Certificates, Class B Certificates, Class C Certificates, Class D Certificates, Class E Certificates and Class F 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 t he anticipated date of exchange. 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.
For purposes of the foregoing provisions relating to termination of the Trust Fund, with respect to the 666 Fifth Avenue Loan, the ING Hospitality Pool Loan and the Sawgrass Mills Loan, the term REO Property refers to the Trust Fund’s beneficial interest in the related REO Property under the GECMC 2007-C1 Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Wachovia Bank 2007-C32 Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the J.P. Morgan 2007-LDP12 Pooling and Servicing Agreement, respectively.

Table of ContentsThe 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; pr ovided, 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 its services, the Trustee will be entitled to receive monthly, from general funds on deposit in the Distrib ution 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 Po oling 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 inc urred by the REMIC’’ within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-I (b)(3)(ii); provided, further, 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 will act as Trustee and Custodian under 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 158,000 employees as of December 31, 2006. Wells Fargo & Company is a U.S. bank holding company, 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 Mortgage Loan Sellers, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer may maintain banking and other commercial relationships with Wells Fargo Bank and its affiliates. The Trustee has s erved as loan file custodian for various mortgage loans
S-222
Table of Contentsowned 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.
Wells Fargo Bank has provided corporate trust services since 1934. Wells Fargo Bank acts as trustee with respect to a variety of transactions and asset types including corporate and municipal bonds, mortgage backed and asset backed securities and collateralized debt obligations. As of December 31, 2006, Wells Fargo Bank was acting as trustee on more than 285 series of commercial mortgage backed securities with an aggregate principal balance of over $290 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.
Under the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trustee is responsible for securities administration, which includes pool performance calculations, distribution calculations and the preparation of monthly distribution reports. As securities administrator, the Trustee is responsible for the preparation of all REMIC tax returns on behalf of the REMICs and the preparation of monthly reports on Form 10-D (in regards to distribution and pool performance information) and annual reports on Form 10-K that are required to be filed with the SEC on behalf of the Trust Fund. Wells Fargo Bank has been engaged in the business of securities administration in connection with mortgage backed securities in excess of 20 years and in connection with commercial mortgage backed securities since 1997. It has acted as securities administrator with respect to more than 360 series of commercial mortgage backed securities, and, as of December 31, 2006, was acting as securities administrator with respect to more than $340 billion of outstanding commercial mortgage backed securities.
Wells Fargo Bank’s assessment of compliance with applicable servicing criteria for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006, furnished pursuant to Item 1122 of Regulation AB, discloses that it was not in compliance with the 1122(d)(3)(i) servicing criterion during that reporting period. The assessment of compliance indicates that certain monthly investor or remittance reports included errors in the calculation and/or the reporting of delinquencies for the related pool assets, which errors may or may not have been material, and that all such errors were the result of data processing errors and/or the mistaken interpretation of data provided by other parties participating in the servicing function. The assessment further states that all necessary adjustments to Wells Fargo Bank’s data processing systems and/or interpretive clarifications have been made to correct those errors and to remedy related procedures. Despite the fact that the platfo rm of transactions to which such assessment of compliance relates included commercial mortgage-backed securities transactions, the errors described above did not occur with respect to any such commercial mortgage-backed securities transactions.
There have been no material changes to Wells Fargo Bank’s policies or procedures with respect to its securities administration function other than changes required by applicable laws.
In the past three years, Wells Fargo Bank has not materially defaulted in its securities administration obligations under any pooling and servicing agreement or caused an early amortization or other performance triggering event because of servicing by Wells Fargo Bank with respect to commercial mortgage backed securities.
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.

Table of ContentsYield 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 tim ing 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 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 thereo f is reduced to zero, then, to the Class A-3 Certificates until the Certificate Balance thereof is reduced to zero, then to the Class A-PB Certificates until the Certificate Balance thereof is reduced to zero, then, to the Class A-4 Certificates until the Certificate Balance thereof is reduced to zero, and then, to the Class A-5 Certificates until the Certificate Balance thereof is reduced to zero. The Loan Group 2 Principal Distribution Amount (and, after the Class A-5 Certificates 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, Class E Certificates, Class F Certificates and then the Non-Offered Certificates (other than the Class R 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 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, the Wachovia Bank 2007-C32 Master Servicer or the Wachovia Bank 2007-C32 Special Servicer or the J.P. Morgan 2007-LDP12 Master Servicer or the J.P. Morgan 2007-LDP12 Special Servicer and the rate and timing of principal prepayments and other unscheduled collections thereon (including for this purpose, collections made in connection with liquida tions 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-3 Certificates, Class A-PB Certificates, Class A-4 Certificates, Class A-5 Certificates 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-3 Certificates, Class A-PB Certificates, Class A-4 Certificates, Class A-5 Certificates 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 principal 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 and Class A-1A Certificates remain outstanding. In particular, once such Classes of Certificates are no longer outstanding, any remaining portion on any Distribution Date of the Loan
S-224
Table of ContentsGroup 1 Principal Distribution Amount and/or Loan Group 2 Principal Distribution Amount, as applicable, will generally be distributed to the Class A-PB Certificates until the Certificate Balance of 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 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 cre ate 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 Offered 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 IO 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-3 Certificates, Class A-PB Certificates, Class A-4 Certificates, Class A-5 Certificates and Class A-1A Certificates 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 IO 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 IO 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 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
S-225
Table of Contentsby 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. 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 respective Classes of Sequential Pay Certificates (other than the Class A-1 Certificates, Class A-2 Certificates, Class A-3 Certificates, Class A-PB Certificates, Class A-4 Certificates, Class A-5 Certificates and Class A-1A Certificates, which share such losses and shortfalls, pro rata) to the extent of am ounts 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 respective Classes of Sequential Pay Certificates (other than the Class A-1 Certificates, Class A-2 Certificates, Class A-3 Certificates, Class A-PB Certificates, Class A-4 Certificates, Class A-5 Certificates and Class A-1A Certificates, which share such Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund Expenses pro rata) (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-3 Certificates, Class A-PB Certificates, Class A-4 Certificates, Class A-5 Certificates and Class A-1A Certificates (and the Class IO 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 Regular Certificates (other than the Class IO Certificates) on a pro rata basis.
Pass-Through Rate. The yield on the Class A-2 Certificates, Class A-3 Certificates, Class A-PB Certificates, Class A-4 Certificates, Class A-5 Certificates, Class A-1A Certificates, Class A-M Certificates, Class A-J Certificates, Class B Certificates, Class C Certificates, Class D Certificates, Class E Certificates and Class F 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, manufactured housing 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 i n 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 9.4% 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-226
Table of ContentsA 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.
See ‘‘—Weighted Average Life’’ in this prospectus supplement.
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 on any Distribution Date is less than the Distributable Certificate Interest then payable for such Class of Certificates, the shortfall will be distributable to holders of such Class of Certificates 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 IO Certificates. The yield to maturity on the Class IO 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 IO 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 IO Certificates is intended to reduce those risks with respect to such Class; however, such alloca tion 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 IO 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 IO Certificates might not fully recoup their initial investment. See ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE CERTIFICATES—Termination’’ in this prospectus supplement.
S-227
Table of ContentsThe table below indicates the sensitivity of the pre-tax corporate bond equivalent yields to maturity of the Class IO 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 IO Certificates, would cause the discounted present value of such assumed stream of cash flows to equal the assumed purchase prices plus accrued interest of the Class IO 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 IO Certificates and consequently do not purport to reflect the return on any investment in such Class of 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’’ in this prospectus supplement and on the Table Assumptions and with the assumed respective purchase prices (as a percentage of the Notional Amount of the Class IO Certificates) of the Class IO Certificates set forth in the table relating to such Class, plus accrued interest thereon from August 1, 2007, 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 IO 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 IO Certificates will correspond to the cash flows assumed for purposes of the above table or that the aggregate purchase price of the Class IO 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 assumption to be used in deciding whether to purchase the Class IO Certificates. See ‘‘RISK FACTORS—The Offered Certificates&mda sh;Prepayments Will Affect Your Yield’’ in this prospectus supplement.
Weighted Average Life
The weighted average life of any Class A-1 Certificates, Class A-2 Certificates, Class A-3 Certificates, Class A-PB Certificates, Class A-4 Certificates, Class A-5 Certificates, Class A-1A Certificates, Class A-M Certificates, Class A-J Certificates, Class B Certificates, Class C Certificates, Class D Certificates, Class E Certificates and Class F Certificates refers to the average amount of time that will elapse from the assumed Closing Date until each dollar allocable to principal of such Offered 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 liquid ation proceeds. As described in
S-228
Table of Contentsthis 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, to the Class A-3 Certificates until the Certificate Balance thereof is reduced to zero, Class A-PB Certificates until the Certificate Balance thereof is reduced to zero, then, to the Class A-4 Certificates until the Certificate Balance thereof is reduced to zero, and, then, to the Class A-5 Certificates until the Certificate Balance thereof is reduced to zero. The Loan Group 2 Principal Distribution Amount fo r 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, the Class A-J Certificates, the Class B Certificates, the Class C Certificates, the Class D Certificates, the Class E Certificates and the Class F Certificates in that order, in each case until the Certificate Balance of each 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, the Class A-2 Certificates, the Class A-3 Certificates, the Class A-PB Certificates, the Class A-4 Certificates, the Class A-5 Certificates, the Class A-1A Certificates, the Class A-M Certificates, the Class A-J Certificates, the Class B Certificates, the Class C Certificates, the Class D Certificates, the Class E Certificates and the Class F Certificates may mature earlier or later than indicated by the tables. With respect to the Class A-PB Certificates, although based on the Table Assump tions (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 Balance 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 and the Class A-3 Certificates 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 to the Class A-PB Certificates until the Certificate Balance of the Class A-PB Certificates a re 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 o r 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.
S-229
Table of ContentsThe 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 ame ndments 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) holdbacks and/or reserves held by the mortgagee are not applied to the prepayment of the related Mortgage Loan, (xiv) distributions on the Certificates are made on the 15th day (each assumed to be a business day) of each month, commencing in September, 2007 and (xv) the Closing Date for the sale of the Offered Certificates is August 22, 2007.
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 A-3, Class A-PB, Class A-4 and Class A-5 Certificates 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 Balance of the Class A-5 Certificate has 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 L oan Group 1. Investors should take this into account when reviewing this ‘‘YIELD AND MATURITY CONSIDERATIONS’’ section.

Table of ContentsMaterial 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 Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft 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 advisor s 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 any Additional Interest on the ARD Loans. Upon the issuance of the Offered Certificates, Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft 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, (3) compliance with the GECMC 2007-1 Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Wachovia Bank 2007-C32 Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the J.P. Morgan 2007-LDP12 Pooling and Servicing Agreement and other related documents and any amendments thereto and the continued qualification of the REMICs formed thereunder, and (4) 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 Regular Certificates will represent ‘‘regular interests’’ in REMIC II 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 a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes, and the Class Z Certificates will represent undivided beneficial interests in such portion of the grantor trust. See ‘‘MATERIAL FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES—Federal I ncome 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 A-1 and Class A-2 Certificates will be treated as having been issued at a premium, that the Class A-3, Class A-PB, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-1A, Class A-M and Class A-J Certificates will be issued with de minimis original issue discount and that the Class IO, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F Certificates will be issued with original issue discount for federal income tax 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 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. Sec ‘‘MATERIAL FEDERAL
S-236
Table of ContentsINCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES—Federal Income Tax Consequences for REMIC Certificates —REMICs’’ and ‘‘—Taxation of Owners of 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. Prospective purchasers of Offered Certificates are advised to consult their tax advisors concerning the tax treatment of such Certificates.
Each holder of a Class IO Certificate will be required to accrue 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 original issue discount income reported by the holder of a Class IO 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 IO Certificates. Although the holder of a Class IO 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 in come. 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 14.1% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance) and, accordingly, investment in the Offered Certificates may not be suitable for certai n 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 P remiums in general.

Table of ContentsUSE OF PROCEEDS
Substantially all of the proceeds from the sale of the Offered Certificates will be used by the Depositor to purchase the Mortgage Loans and to pay certain expenses in connection with the issuance of the Certificates.
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 ERI SA 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’’) and Final Authorization Number 2004-03E (February 4, 2004) to Barclays Capital Inc. (‘‘Barclays Capital’’) (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) Barclays Capital, (c) any person directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controlling, controlled by or under common control with Wachovia Securities or Barclays Capital and (d) any member of the underwriting syndicate or selling group of which Wachovia Securities and Barclays Capital or a person described in (c) 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 o f The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. (‘‘S&P’’). Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (‘‘Moody’s’’), Fitch, Inc. (‘‘Fitch’’), DBRS Limited or DBRS, Inc. or any successor thereto (each, an ‘‘NRSRO’’). Third, the Trustee cannot be an affiliate of any other member of the Restricted
S-238
Table of ContentsGroup, other than an Underwriter. The ‘‘Restricted Group’’ consists of each of the Underwriters, the Depositor, the Master 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 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 th e 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 at least one NRSRO 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 Certi ficates 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, (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-239
Table of Contents(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.
In addition, Plan fiduciaries should note that an affiliate of the Trustee is the master servicer under the pooling and servicing agreement for the J.P. Morgan Chase Commercial Mortgage Securities Trust 2007-LDP12, pursuant to which the Sawgrass Mills Whole Loan will be serviced. See ‘‘DESCRIPTION OF THE MORTGAGE POOL—Co-Lender Loans—The Sawgrass Mills Loan’’ and ‘‘SERVICING OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS— Servicing of the Sawgrass Mills Loan’’ in this prospectus supplement. Under the terms of such pooling and servicing agreement, the actions of the J.P. Morgan 2007-LDP12 master servicer will be subject to oversight by LaSalle Bank National Association in its capacity as the trustee for the J.P. Morgan Chase Commercial Mortgage Securities Trust 2007-LDP12. In addition, under the terms of the Sawgrass Mills Loan Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, the holders of the J.P. Morgan 2007-LDP12 certificates, by v irtue of their ownership of one of the Sawgrass Mills Pari Passu Companion Loans, have the sole and exclusive authority with respect to the administration of, and exercise of rights and remedies with respect to, the Sawgrass Mills Whole Loan. Although there is little authority in this regard, and therefore it is not free from doubt, the Depositor believes that this arrangement satisfies the requirement of the Exemptions for an independent trustee. Plan fiduciaries should consult with their advisors in this regard.
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.
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.
Persons who have an ongoing relationship with the Louisiana Assessors’ Retirement Fund, Municipal Employees’ Retirement System of Louisiana, Harbor Police Retirement System or Registrar of Voters Employees’ Retirement System, which are governmental plans, should note that these plans own equity interests in the borrower under the Arizona Department of Economic Security Loan. Such persons should consult with counsel regarding whether such a relationship would affect their ability to purchase and hold Offered Certificates.

Table of Contents 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 Off ered Certificates. Accordingly, all investors whose investment activities are subject to 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 will constitute legal investments for them or are subject to investment, capital or other restrictions. See ‘‘LEGAL INVESTMENT’’ in the accompanying prospectus.
