If such extension would extend the Maturity Date of a Mortgage Loan for more than twelve months from and after the original maturity date of such Mortgage Loan and the Mortgage Loan is not in default or default with respect thereto is not reasonably foreseeable, the Special Servicer must provide the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Servicer and the Directing Certificateholders with an opinion of counsel (at the expense of the related Mortgagor) that such extension would not constitute a "significant modification" of the Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer, without the consent of the Special Servicer, may modify or amend the terms of any Mortgage Loan in order to (i) cure any ambiguity or mistake therein or (ii) correct or supplement any provisions therein which may be inconsistent with any other provisions therein or correct any error, provided that, if the Mortgage Loan is not in default or default with respect thereto is not reasonably foreseeable, such modification or amendment would not be a "significant modification" of the Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b).

(c) Any provision of this Section 3.20 to the contrary notwithstanding, except when a Mortgage Loan is in default or default with respect thereto is reasonably foreseeable, no fee described in this paragraph shall be collected by any Servicer or Special Servicer from a Mortgagor (or on behalf of the Mortgagor) in conjunction with any consent or any modification, waiver or amendment of a Mortgage Loan (unless the amount thereof is specified in the related Mortgage Note) if the collection of such fee would cause such consent, modification, waiver or amendment to be a "significant modification" of the Mortgage Note within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b). (d) To the extent consistent with this Agreement, the Servicer or the Special Servicer may agree to any waiver, modification or amendment of a Mortgage Loan that is not in default or as to which default is not reasonably foreseeable only if it provides the Trustee with an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the related Mortgagor or such other Person requesting such modification or, if such expense cannot be collected from the related Mortgagor or such other Person, to be paid by the Servicer or Special Servicer as a Servicing Advance) to the effect that the contemplated waiver, modification or amendment (i) will not be a "significant modification" of the Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) and (ii) will not cause (x) any of the Loan REMICs, the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC for purposes of the Code or (y) any of the Loan REMICs, the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to be subject to any tax under the REMIC Provisions.

(e) In the event of a modification which creates Mortgage Deferred Interest, such Mortgage Deferred Interest will be allocated to reduce the Distributable Certificate Interest of the Class or Classes of Certificates pursuant to Section 4.05. (f) Subject to Section 3.20(c), the Servicer and the Special Servicer each may, as a condition to its granting any request by a Mortgagor for consent, modification (including extensions), waiver or indulgence or any other matter or thing, the granting of which is within the Servicer's or the Special Servicer's, as the case may be, discretion pursuant to the terms of the instruments evidencing or securing the related Mortgage Loan and is permitted by the terms of this Agreement, require that such Mortgagor pay to the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, as additional servicing compensation, a reasonable or customary fee, for the additional services performed in connection with such request.
