     Section 5.3.     Document Handling. From and after the Closing:

(b)               Seller may access the employees of Purchaser and use, inspect and make extracts from or copies of any files, documents and/or records that are in Purchaser’s actual or constructive possession, in each case in respect of any of the Loans and upon reasonable notice by Seller to Purchaser. Seller may retain copies of any Loan Files conveyed to Purchaser pursuant to Section 6.2(b). 

(c)                Seller may take possession, custody and use of original documents in Purchaser’s actual or constructive possession and pertaining to any of the Loans, for any lawful purpose and upon reasonable terms and conditions.

(d)               Purchaser agrees to provide Seller within two (2) Business Days of receipt thereof, any notices or other records received by Purchaser (or any Affiliate of Purchaser) after the Cut-Off Date relating to the operation of the Loans prior to the Cut-Off date.  

(e)                Before destroying or disposing of any documents or files pertaining to any Loan, Purchaser shall (i) give reasonable notice of the same to Seller and (ii) allow Seller, at Seller’s expense, to recover the same from Purchaser.

   Section 5.4       Public Announcements. Seller and Purchaser agree that the initial press release announcing the execution and delivery of this Agreement and/or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be a press release of Seller.  Until such initial press release, neither party will issue any press release or make any public statement or announcement with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.   

    Section 5.5       Insurance. Purchaser shall be solely responsible for having itself substituted as loss payee or additional insured on all hazard or mortgage insurance in respect of any Loan in which the Seller is listed as a loss payee or additional insured on the Closing Date; and any loss after the Closing Date to either a Borrower or to Purchaser or to the value or collectibility of any Loan or the related collateral (including any Mortgaged Property or Collateral Property) that arises either by reason of the termination or expiration of any such insurance, or of Purchaser’s failure to identify itself as loss payee or additional insured, is the sole responsibility of Purchaser; provided  that Seller shall be responsible for such losses directly resulting from an affirmative instruction by Seller to cancel such insurance (unless Seller disclosed or indicated the actual or prospective cancellation in the Loan File or otherwise to Purchaser prior to the Bid Date).

             Section 5.6.          Reserved.

             Section 5.7.          Post-Closing Servicing By Seller.

The parties acknowledge: Seller will incur substantial damages if Purchaser breaches this Section 5.8(b); as of the date of this Agreement, such damages are either unascertainable or unreasonably difficult to ascertain; and under the circumstances existing as of the date of the parties’ entry into this Agreement, this Section 5.8(b) is a reasonable estimate of those damages.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5.8(b), Seller may also pursue any equitable remedy it may have for

Purchaser’s breach of this covenant including seeking an injunction against any further or future use;

                                                               (ii)                        After completion of the Closing, Purchaser shall not, without Seller’s express prior written consent, institute any legal action in Seller’s name, or continue to prosecute in Seller’s name any pending legal action.  Purchaser shall not, either intentionally or unintentionally, through misrepresentation or nondisclosure, mislead or conceal the identity of the owner of the Loans.  Purchaser acknowledges that there is no adequate remedy at law for violation of this Section 5.8(b), and consents to the entry of an order by a court of competent jurisdiction enjoining any violation or threatened violation of the provisions of this Section 5.8(b).

(c)                Subpoenas.  If, after the Closing Date, Seller, its servicers or any of their respective employees, agents or representatives is requested or required by subpoena, court order or otherwise, to perform any acts (including but not limited to testifying, preparing responses to subpoenas or other legal process or pleading, and/or performing any review of public or private record such as tracing funds) in connection with any litigation or bankruptcy proceeding in respect of any Loan, whether the same shall have been commenced by Purchaser or any other party, then Purchaser shall reimburse Seller for the time expended by such employees involved in the performance of said acts, at the rate of $50.00 per hour per employee (or, if such performance is made by a servicer or other agent or representative of Seller, the greater of $50.00 per hour per employee or the amount charged to Seller by such servicer or such agent or representative) plus all associated travel, lodging and per diem costs plus the actual fees and expenses of counsel to the Seller incurred in connection with the taking of any such action.  Seller may determine and assign such personnel as Seller, in its sole discretion, deems necessary to perform the said acts.  Purchaser shall reimburse Seller for all copies made in the course of performing said acts, at the rate of $0.35 cents per copy (or, if greater, the amount charged Seller by its servicer or other agents or representative of such service).  Nothing in this shall require Seller, its servicers or their respective employees, agents or representatives to provide Purchaser with any information or service in this regard.

(d)               Capital Improvements.  Without the prior written consent of Seller, Purchaser shall not commence any capital improvements (other than those which Purchaser reasonably determines to be necessary to prevent deterioration of the Loan or to protect the safety of persons) with respect to any Loan purchased on the Closing Date until the expiration of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.2 and any cure period applicable to a breach thereof with respect to which a Notice of Claim was timely delivered pursuant to Section 7.1.

(f)                Purchaser shall have provided evidence reasonably satisfactory to Seller of its ability to meet reasonably anticipated future financial obligations to Seller, including, any indemnification obligations;

(g)               Purchaser shall have delivered to Seller all portions of the Loan File with respect to such Loan that were previously delivered by Seller to Purchaser, any documents, writings and correspondence with respect to such Loan subsequent to the Closing Date and any other document pertaining to such Loan in possession of Purchaser or any of its agents or servicers, and any of such documents that were endorsed or assigned to Purchaser as required by Section 6.2 shall be endorsed, assigned and delivered to Seller in the same manner as provided therein;

(c)                minus  any collections (including, but not limited to, the proceeds of any insurance policy and the awards from any condemnation proceedings) received with respect to the Loan since the Closing Date, but only to the extent that such collections result in the reduction of the outstanding principal balance of such Loan in accordance with the provisions of the related Note;

(d)               minus  the amount that was required to be held by Purchaser in any escrow account (but in no event less than the amount credited to Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.3(a),  reduced by any amounts Purchaser is required to expend, and has expended, pursuant to the respective Loan Documents);

(e)                plus  an amount equal to the sum of any insurance premiums and real estate tax payments advanced by Purchaser on behalf of the mortgagor in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage, provided  that (i) such real estate taxes are not paid prior to the date on which such taxes would become a lien prior to the lien of the Mortgage and (ii) any such amounts are not paid out of any Escrow Amounts or any other escrow collected by Purchaser.
