as the successor to the Purchaser in its capacity as Owner under the Servicing
Agreement.

LaSalle Bank National Association, individually or personally, to perform any
covenant (either express or implied) contained herein and (iv) under no

the payment of any indebtedness or expenses of the Trust, or be liable for the

payment liability or other obligation of the Trust as assignee shall be had

Commission shall be reimbursed to the Depositor by the Servicer. In

automatically at such time, without notice and without any cure
period, and Depositor may, in addition to whatever rights the

performance, terminate all the rights and obligations of the Servicer
