Maintenance of Insurance Policies; Errors and Omissions and Fidelity Coverage. (a) The Master Servicer (with respect to Mortgage Loans and Companion Loans and to the extent that the Trust Fund has an insurable interest, but other than the 2004-C10 Serviced Mortgage Loan and its related Companion Loans) and the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Properties) shall, consistent with the Servicing Standard, cause to be maintained for each Mortgaged Property all insurance coverage as is required under the related Mortgage; provided that, if and to the extent that any such Mortgage permits the holder thereof any discretion (by way of consent, approval or otherwise) as to the insurance coverage that the related Mortgagor is required to maintain, the Master Servicer shall exercise such discretion in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard; and provided, further, that, if and to the extent that a Mortgage so permits, the related Mortgagor shall be required to exercise its reasonable best efforts to obtain the required insurance coverage from Qualified Insurers and required insurance coverage obtained by the Master Servicer shall be from Qualified Insurers. REO Property with respect to the 11 Madison Avenue Loan is excluded f▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇f this Section 3.07. The cost of any such insurance coverage obtained by either the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be a Servicing Advance to be paid by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.03. Whether or not the applicable Mortgage Loan documents require such insurance, the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder may request that earthquake insurance be secured for one or more Mortgaged Properties at the expense of the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder. Subject to Section 3.17(a), the Special Servicer shall also cause to be maintained for each REO Property no less insurance coverage than was previously required of the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage; provided that all such insurance shall be obtained from Qualified Insurers. All such insurance policies maintained by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (i) shall contain (if they insure against loss to property and do not relate to an REO Property) a "standard" mortgagee clause, with loss payable to the Trustee or the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee (in the case of insurance maintained in respect of Mortgage Loans); (ii) shall be in the name of the Special Servicer (in the case of insurance maintained in respect of REO Properties), on behalf of the Trustee; (iii) shall be non-cancelable without 30 days' prior written notice to the insured party; (iv) shall include coverage in an amount not less than the lesser of (x) the full replacement cost of the improvements securing a Mortgaged Property or REO Property, as applicable, or (y) the outstanding principal balance owing on the related Mortgage Loan or REO Loan, as applicable, and in any event, the amount necessary to avoid the operation of any co-insurance provisions; (v) shall include a replacement cost endorsement providing no deduction for depreciation (unless such endorsement is not permitted under the related Mortgage Loan documents); (vi) shall include such other insurance, including, to the extent available at commercially reasonable rates, earthquake insurance, where applicable, as required under the applicable Mortgage or other Mortgage Loan document; and (vii) in each case such insurance shall be issued by an insurer authorized under applicable law to issue such insurance. Any amounts collected by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property or amounts to be released to the related Mortgagor, in each case subject to the rights of any tenants and ground lessors, as the case may be, and in each case in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage and the Servicing Standard) shall be deposited in the Certificate Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.05(a), in the case of amounts received in respect of a Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan, or in the REO Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.16(c), in the case of amounts received in respect of an REO Property. Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for purposes hereof, including, without limitation, calculating monthly distributions to Certificateholders, be added to unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan or Companion Loans so permit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, will not be required to maintain (and in the case of the Special Servicer, with respect any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan), and shall not cause a Mortgagor to be in default with respect to the failure of the related Mortgagor to obtain, all-risk casualty insurance which does not contain any carve-out for terrorist or similar acts, if, and only if the Special Servicer, in consultation with the Controlling Class Representative, has determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard that either (a) such insurance is not available at any rate or (b) such insurance is not available at commercially reasonably rates and that such hazards are not at the time commonly insured against for properties similar to the Mortgaged Property and located in or around the region in which such Mortgaged Property is located; provided, further, that upon the Special Servicer's determination consistent with the Servicing Standard, that exigent circumstances do not allow the Special Servicer to consult with the Controlling Class Representative, the Special Servicer shall not be required to do so; provided, further that, during the period that the Special Servicer is evaluating such insurance hereunder, the Master Servicer shall not be liable for any loss related to its failure to require the Mortgagor to maintain terrorism insurance and shall not be in default of its obligations hereunder as a result of such failure; provided that the Master Servicer has given prompt notice to the Special Servicer of its determination that it will not be successful in its efforts to cause the Mortgagor to obtain such insurance, along with its determination, and any information in its possession, regarding the availability and cost of such insurance. The Special Servicer shall promptly notify the Master Servicer of each determination under this paragraph. (b) If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall obtain and maintain, or cause to be obtained and maintained, a blanket policy insuring against hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans, Companion Loans and/or REO Properties that it is required to service and administer, then, to the extent such policy (i) is obtained from a Qualified Insurer and (ii) provides protection equivalent to the individual policies otherwise required, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligation to cause hazard insurance to be maintained on the related Mortgaged Properties and/or REO Properties. Such blanket policy may contain a deductible clause (not in excess of a customary amount), in which case the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as appropriate, shall, if there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a hazard insurance policy complying with the requirements of Section 3.07(a), and there shall have been one or more losses that would have been covered by such policy, promptly deposit into the Certificate Account from its own funds the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as appropriate, shall prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and Certificateholders, claims under any such blanket policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy. (c) Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall at all times during the term of this Agreement (or, in the case of the Special Servicer, at all times during the term of this Agreement in which Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans or REO Properties are part of the Trust Fund) keep in force a fidelity bond with Qualified Insurers, such fidelity bond to be in such form and amount as would permit it to be a qualified FNMA or FHLMC, whichever is greater, seller-servicer of multifamily mortgage loans, or in such other form and amount as would not cause the qualification, downgrading or withdrawal of any rating assigned by any Rating Agency to the Certificates (as evidenced in writing from each Rating Agency). Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be deemed to have complied with the foregoing provision if an Affiliate thereof has such fidelity bond coverage and, by the terms of such fidelity bond, the coverage afforded thereunder extends to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be. Such fidelity bond shall provide for ten days' written notice to the Trustee prior to any cancellation. Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall at all times during the term of this Agreement (or, in the case of the Special Servicer, at all times during the term of this Agreement in which Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and/or REO Properties exist as part of the Trust Fund) also keep in force with Qualified Insurers, a policy or policies of insurance covering loss occasioned by the errors and omissions of its officers, employees and agents in connection with its servicing obligations hereunder, which policy or policies shall be in such form and amount as would permit it to be a qualified FNMA seller-servicer of multifamily mortgage loans, or in such other form and amount as would not cause the qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of any rating assigned by any Rating Agency to the Certificates (as evidenced in writing from each Rating Agency). Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be deemed to have complied with the foregoing provisions if an Affiliate thereof has such insurance and, by the terms of such policy or policies, the coverage afforded thereunder extends to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be. Any such errors and omissions policy shall provide for ten days' written notice to the Trustee prior to cancellation. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each cause the Trustee to be an additional loss payee on any policy currently in place or procured pursuant to the requirements of this Section 3.07(c). For so long as the long-term debt obligations of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be (or in the case of the initial Master Servicer and Special Servicer, their respective direct or indirect parent), are rated at least "A" or the equivalent by all of the Rating Agencies (or such lower rating as will not result in qualification, downgrading or withdrawal of the ratings then assigned to the Certificates, as evidenced in writing by the Rating Agencies), such Person may self-insure with respect to the risks described in this subsection.
