The Withheld Amount for each applicable Distribution Date for each Mortgage Loan that does not accrue interest on a 30/360 basis will be equal to 1/31 of the interest accrued in respect of the immediately preceding Due Date, to the extent a Monthly Payment or P&I Advance is made in respect thereof.
 
Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts”:  With respect to any Mortgage Loan or, with respect to Property Advances, any Serviced Loan Combination, the amount of any Advance made with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination on or before the date such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination becomes (or, but for the making of three monthly payments under its modified terms, would then constitute) a Corrected Mortgage Loan, together with (to the extent accrued and unpaid) interest on such Advances, to the extent that (i) such Advance is not reimbursed to the Person who made such Advance on or before the date, if any, on which such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination becomes a Corrected Mortgage Loan and (ii) the amount of such Advance becomes an obligation of the related Borrower to pay such amount under the terms of the modified Loan Documents.
 
Workout Fee”:  An amount equal to the lesser of (1) 1.0% of each collection of interest and principal (including scheduled payments, prepayments (provided that a repurchase or substitution by a Mortgage Loan Seller of a Mortgage Loan due to a Material Defect or a Material Breach shall not be considered a prepayment for purposes of this definition), Balloon Payments and payments at maturity, but excluding late payment charges and Default Interest) received on a Specially Serviced Loan that becomes a Corrected Mortgage Loan for so long as it

remains a Corrected Mortgage Loan, pursuant to Section 3.12(c) of this Agreement and (2) $1,000,000, in the aggregate with respect to any particular workout of a Specially Serviced Loan; provided that the Workout Fee with respect to any Corrected Mortgage Loan shall be capped in accordance with Section 3.12(c) of this Agreement; provided, further that no Workout Fee shall be payable by the Trust with respect to any Corrected Mortgage Loan if and to the extent that the Corrected Mortgage Loan became a Specially Serviced Loan under clause (c) of the definition of “Specially Serviced Loan” (and no other clause of such definition) and no event of default actually occurs, unless the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan is modified by the Special Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, further that if a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan only because of an event described in clause (a) of the definition of “Specially Serviced Loan” and the related collection of principal and interest is received within 4 months following the related maturity date as a result of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan being refinanced or otherwise repaid in full, the Special Servicer shall not be entitled to collect a Workout Fee out of the proceeds received in connection with such workout if such fee would reduce the amount available for distributions to Certificateholders, but the Special Servicer may collect from the related Borrower and retain (x) a workout fee, (y) such other fees as are provided for in the related Loan Documents and (z) other appropriate fees in connection with such workout.  The total amount of Workout Fees payable by the Trust with respect to any Corrected Mortgage Loan and with respect to any particular workout (assuming, for the purposes of this calculation, that such Corrected Mortgage Loan continues to perform throughout its term in accordance with the terms of the related workout) shall be reduced by the amount of any and all related Offsetting Modification Fees received by the Special Servicer as additional servicing compensation relating to such Corrected Mortgage Loan; provided that the Special Servicer shall be entitled to collect such Workout Fees from the Trust until such time it has been fully paid such reduced amount.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Mortgage Loan Seller will be required to pay a Workout Fee in connection with a repurchase or substitution to the extent the Special Servicer was entitled to such a fee and such fee was unpaid immediately prior to such repurchase or substitution or was previously paid by the Trust and was not reimbursed by the related Borrower immediately prior to such repurchase or substitution.  In furtherance of the foregoing, upon a Specially Serviced Loan becoming a Corrected Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall provide the Master Servicer with a calculation of the total amount of Workout Fees expected to be payable by the Trust with respect to such Corrected Mortgage Loan throughout its term (which calculation shall be reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer) and the total amount of related Offsetting Modification Fees received by the Special Servicer.
 
Yield Maintenance Charge”:  With respect to any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, the yield maintenance charge set forth in the related Loan Documents; provided that, amounts shall be considered Yield Maintenance Charges pursuant to the allocation set forth under Section 1.02(f) or Section 1.02(g), as applicable.

(f)            All amounts collected by or on behalf of the Trust in respect of any Mortgage Loan (other than an REO Loan) in the form of payments from the related Borrower, Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds (exclusive, if applicable, in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Serviced Loan Combination, of any amounts payable to the holder of the related B Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, as applicable, pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement) shall be allocated to amounts due and owing under the related Loan Documents (including for principal and accrued and unpaid interest) in accordance with the express provisions of the related Loan Documents and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is part of a Serviced Loan Combination, the related Intercreditor Agreement; provided, absent such express provisions, all such amounts collected (exclusive, if applicable, in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Serviced Loan
