(1)Approximate, subject to a permitted variance of plus or minus 5%. In addition, the notional amount of each class of Class X certificates may vary depending upon the final pricing of the classes of certificates whose certificate balances comprise such notional amount and, if as a result of such pricing the pass-through rate of such class of Class X certificates would be equal to zero, such Class X certificates may not be issued on the closing date.

 

(2)The approximate initial credit support percentages set forth for the certificates are approximate and, for the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4 and Class A-5 certificates, are represented in the aggregate.

 

(3)The assumed final distribution dates set forth in this prospectus have been determined on the basis of the assumptions described in “Description of the Certificates—Assumed Final Distribution Date; Rated Final Distribution Date”.

 

(4)The weighted average life and expected principal window during which distributions of principal would be received as set forth in the foregoing table with respect to each class of certificates having a certificate balance are based on the assumptions set forth under “Yield and Maturity Considerations—Weighted Average Life” and on the assumptions that there are no prepayments, modifications or losses in respect of the mortgage loans and that there are no extensions or forbearances of maturity dates or anticipated repayment dates of the mortgage loans.

 

(5)The pass-through rates for the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class D-RR, Class E-RR, Class F-RR, Class G-RR and Class NR-RR certificates will, in each case, be one of the following: (i) a fixed rate per annum, (ii) a variable rate per annum equal to the weighted average of the net mortgage interest rates on the mortgage loans for the related distribution date, (iii) a variable rate per annum equal to the lesser of (a) a fixed rate and (b) the weighted average of the net mortgage interest rates on the mortgage loans for the related distribution date or (iv) a variable rate per annum equal to the weighted average of the net mortgage interest rates on the mortgage loans for the related distribution date minus a specified percentage. For purposes of the calculation of the weighted average of the net mortgage interest rates on the mortgage loans for each distribution date, the mortgage interest rates will be adjusted as necessary to a 30/360 basis.

 

(6)The Class X-A certificates are notional amount certificates. The notional amount of the Class X-A certificates will be equal to the aggregate certificate balance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4 and Class A-5 certificates outstanding from time to time. The Class X-A certificates will not be entitled to distributions of principal.

 

(7)The pass-through rate for the Class X-A certificates for any distribution date will be a per annum rate equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the weighted average of the net mortgage interest rates on the mortgage loans for the related distribution date, over (b) the weighted average of the pass-through rates on the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4 and Class A-5 certificates for the related distribution date, weighted on the basis of their respective aggregate certificate balances outstanding immediately prior to that distribution date. For purposes of the calculation of the weighted average of the net mortgage interest rates on the mortgage loans for each distribution date, the mortgage interest rates will be adjusted as necessary to a 30/360 basis.

 

(8)The Class X-B certificates are notional amount certificates. The notional amount of the Class X-B certificates will be equal to the aggregate certificate balance of the Class A-S, Class B and Class C certificates outstanding from time to time. The Class X-B certificates will not be entitled to distributions of principal.

(9)The pass-through rate for the Class X-B certificates for any distribution date will be a per annum rate equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the weighted average of the net mortgage interest rates on the mortgage loans for the related distribution date, over (b) the weighted average of the pass-through rates on the Class A-S, Class B and Class C certificates for the related distribution date, weighted on the basis of their respective aggregate certificate balances outstanding immediately prior to that distribution date. For purposes of the calculation of the weighted average of the net mortgage interest rates on the mortgage loans for each distribution date, the mortgage interest rates will be adjusted as necessary to a 30/360 basis.

 

(10)The approximate initial certificate balances of the Class C, Class D and Class D-RR certificates are estimated based in part on the estimated ranges of certificate balances and estimated fair values described in “Credit Risk Retention”. The (a) Class C certificate balances are expected to fall within a range of $20,480,000 and $24,016,000, (b) Class D certificate balances are expected to fall within a range of $11,151,000 and 11,242,000, and (c) Class D-RR certificate balances are expected to fall within a range of $13,154,000 and $16,599,000, with the ultimate certificate balance determined such that the aggregate fair value of the Class D-RR, Class E-RR, Class F-RR, Class G-RR and Class NR-RR certificates will equal at least 5% of the estimated fair value of all of the classes of regular certificates issued by the issuing entity.

 

(11)The Class Z certificates will not have a certificate balance, notional amount, credit support, pass through rate, assumed final distribution date, rated final distribution date or rating. The Class Z certificates will only be entitled to distributions of excess interest accrued on the mortgage loans with an anticipated repayment date. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Certain Terms of the Mortgage Loans—ARD Loans” in this prospectus.

 

(12)The Class R certificates will not have a certificate balance, notional amount, credit support, pass-through rate, assumed final distribution date, rated final distribution date or rating. The Class R certificates represent the residual interest in each Trust REMIC as further described in this prospectus. The Class R certificates will not be entitled to distributions of principal or interest.

 

The Class D, Class D-RR, Class E-RR, Class F-RR, Class G-RR, Class NR-RR, Class Z and Class R certificates are not offered by this prospectus. Any information in this prospectus concerning certificates other than the offered certificates is presented solely to enhance your understanding of the offered certificates.

Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a control termination event under the pooling and servicing agreement, the directing certificateholder or the controlling class certificateholder on its behalf will be required to select a separate special servicer that is not a borrower party (referred to herein as an “excluded special servicer”) with respect to any excluded special servicer loan, unless such excluded special servicer loan is also an excluded loan. After the occurrence and during the continuance of a control termination event, if at any time the applicable excluded special servicer loan is also an excluded loan or if the directing certificateholder is entitled to appoint the excluded special servicer but does not so appoint within 30 days of notice of resignation, the resigning special servicer will be required to use reasonable efforts to select the related excluded special servicer. See “—Directing Certificateholder” below and “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Termination of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer for Cause”. Any excluded special servicer will be required to perform all of the obligations of the special servicer and will be entitled to all special servicing compensation with respect to such excluded special servicer loan earned during such time as the related mortgage loan is an excluded special servicer loan.

 31

 

 

mortgage loan) will be the custodian under the related servicing shift pooling and servicing agreement. See “Description of the Mortgage PoolWhole Loans” and “Pooling and Servicing AgreementServicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans”.

Directing Certificateholder Subject to the rights of the related subordinate companion loan holder solely with respect to each serviced AB whole loan, described under “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Serviced AB Whole Loans—Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Whole Loan” and “—Centre 425 Bellevue Whole Loan”, and subject to the rights of the related controlling pari passu companion loan holder with respect to a servicing shift whole loan prior to the servicing shift securitization date,

 

 32

 

 

the directing certificateholder will have certain consent and consultation rights in certain circumstances with respect to the mortgage loans (other than any excluded loans as described in the next paragraph), as further described in this prospectus. The directing certificateholder will generally be the controlling class certificateholder (or its representative) selected by more than a specified percentage of the controlling class certificateholders (by certificate balance, as certified by the certificate registrar from time to time as provided for in the pooling and servicing agreement).

 

An “excluded loan” is a mortgage loan or whole loan with respect to which the directing certificateholder or the holder of the majority of the controlling class certificates (by certificate principal balance), is a borrower, a mortgagor, a manager of a mortgaged property, the holder of a mezzanine loan that has been accelerated or as to which foreclosure or enforcement proceedings have been commenced against the equity collateral pledged to secure the related mezzanine loan, or certain affiliates thereof. However, in certain circumstances (such as when no directing certificateholder has been appointed and no one holder owns the largest aggregate certificate balance of the controlling class) there may be no directing certificateholder even if there is a controlling class. See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—The Directing Certificateholder”.

 

The controlling class will be the most subordinate class of the Class D-RR, Class E-RR, Class F-RR, Class G-RR and Class NR-RR certificates then outstanding that has an aggregate certificate balance, as notionally reduced by any cumulative appraisal reduction amounts allocable to such class, at least equal to 25% of the initial certificate balance of that class; provided, however, that if at any time the certificate balances of the certificates other than the control eligible certificates have been reduced to zero as a result of principal payments on the mortgage loans, then the controlling class will be the most subordinate class of control eligible certificates that has a certificate balance greater than zero without regard to any cumulative appraisal reduction amounts. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, during such time as the Class D-RR certificates would be the controlling class, the holders of such certificates will have the right to irrevocably waive their right to appoint a directing certificateholder or to exercise any of the rights of the controlling class certificateholder. No class of certificates, other than as described above, will be eligible to act as the controlling class or appoint a directing certificateholder.

 

 33

 

 

It is anticipated that on the closing date KKR Real Estate Credit Opportunity Partners Aggregator I L.P. will purchase the Class D-RR, Class E-RR, Class F-RR, Class G-RR, Class NR-RR and Class Z certificates, and that KKR Real Estate Credit Opportunity Partners Aggregator I L.P., or its affiliate will be appointed as the initial directing certificateholder with respect to each mortgage loan (other than (i) any non-serviced mortgage loan, (ii) any servicing shift mortgage loan, and (iii) any excluded loan).

 

With respect to the serviced subordinate companion loan described under “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Serviced AB Whole Loans—Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Whole Loan”, during such time as the holder of such subordinate companion loan is no longer permitted to exercise control or consultation rights under the related intercreditor agreement, the directing certificateholder will have generally similar (although not necessarily identical) consent and consultation rights with respect to the related mortgage loan as it does for the other mortgage loans in the pool. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Serviced AB Whole Loans—Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Whole Loan”.

 

With respect to a servicing shift whole loan, the holder of the related companion loan identified in the related intercreditor agreement as the controlling note will be the controlling noteholder with respect to such servicing shift whole loan, and will be entitled to certain consent and consultation rights with respect to such servicing shift whole loan, which are substantially similar, but not identical, to those of the directing certificateholder under the pooling and servicing agreement for this securitization. From and after the related servicing shift securitization date, the rights of the controlling noteholder of such servicing shift whole loan are expected to exercisable by the directing certificateholder (or the equivalent) under the servicing shift pooling and servicing agreement. The directing certificateholder under the pooling and servicing agreement for this securitization will generally only have limited consultation rights with respect to certain servicing matters or mortgage loan modifications affecting the servicing shift mortgage loans. See “Description of the Mortgage PoolThe Whole LoansThe Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loans” and “—The Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loans”.

 

Each entity identified in the table titled “Non-Serviced Whole Loans” under “—The Mortgage Pool—Whole Loans” below is the initial directing certificateholder (or

 

 34

 

 

the equivalent) under the pooling and servicing agreement for the indicated transaction and will have certain consent and consultation rights with respect to the related non-serviced whole loan, which are substantially similar, but not identical, to those of the directing certificateholder under the pooling and servicing agreement for this securitization, subject to similar appraisal mechanics. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loans”, “—The Non-Serviced AB Whole Loans” and “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans”.

 

Certain Affiliations

and Relationships The originators, the sponsors, the underwriters, and parties to the pooling and servicing agreement have various roles in this transaction as well as certain relationships with parties to this transaction and certain of their affiliates. These roles and other potential relationships may give rise to conflicts of interest as further described in this prospectus under “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Conflicts of Interest” and “Certain Affiliations, Relationships and Related Transactions Involving Transaction Parties”.

Transaction Overview

 

On the closing date, each sponsor will sell its respective mortgage loans to the depositor, which will in turn deposit the mortgage loans into the issuing entity, a common law trust created on the closing date. The issuing entity will be formed by a pooling and servicing agreement to be entered into among the depositor, the master servicer, the special servicer, the certificate administrator, the trustee, the operating advisor and the asset representations reviewer.

 

The transfers of the mortgage loans from the sponsors to the depositor and from the depositor to the issuing entity in exchange for the offered certificates are illustrated below:

Pass-Through Rates

 

A. Offered Certificates Your certificates will accrue interest at an annual rate called a pass-through rate. The initial approximate pass-through rate is set forth below for each class of certificates:

 

Class

Approx. Initial
Pass-Through Rate(1)

Class A-1 [___]%
Class A-2 [___]%
Class A-SB [___]%
Class A-3 [___]%
Class A-4 [___]%
Class A-5 [___]%
Class X-A [___]%
Class X-B [___]%
Class A-S [___]%
Class B [___]%
Class C [___]%

 

 

(1)The pass-through rates for the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-S, Class B and Class C certificates will be a per annum rate equal to one of the following: (i) a fixed rate, (ii) a variable rate per annum equal to the weighted average of the net mortgage interest rates on the mortgage loans for the related distribution date, (iii) a variable rate equal to the lesser of (a) a fixed rate and (b) the weighted average of the net mortgage interest rates on the mortgage loans for the related distribution date or (iv) a variable rate equal to the weighted

 

 38

 

 

average of the net mortgage interest rates for the related distribution date minus a specified percentage. The pass-through rate for the Class X-A certificates for any distribution date will be a per annum rate equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the weighted average of the net mortgage interest rates on the mortgage loans for the related distribution date, over (b) the weighted average of the pass-through rates on the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4 and Class A-5 certificates for the related distribution date, weighted on the basis of their respective aggregate certificate balances outstanding immediately prior to that distribution date. The pass-through rate for the Class X-B certificates for any distribution date will be a per annum rate equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the weighted average of the net mortgage interest rates on the mortgage loans for the related distribution date, over (b) the weighted average of the pass-through rates on the Class A-S, Class B and Class C certificates for the related distribution date, weighted on the basis of their respective aggregate certificate balances outstanding immediately prior to that distribution date. For purposes of the calculation of the weighted average of the net mortgage interest rates on the mortgage loans for each distribution date, the mortgage interest rates will be adjusted as necessary to a 30/360 basis.

 

B. Interest Rate

 Calculation Convention Interest on the offered certificates at their applicable pass-through rates will be calculated based on a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, or a “30/360 basis”.

 

For purposes of calculating the pass-through rates on the Class X-A and Class X-B certificates and any other class of certificates that has a pass-through rate limited by, equal to or based on the weighted average net mortgage interest rate (which calculation does not include any companion loan interest rate), the mortgage loan interest rates will not reflect any default interest rate, any loan term modifications agreed to by the special servicer or any modifications resulting from a borrower’s bankruptcy or insolvency.

 

For purposes of calculating the pass-through rates on the offered certificates, the interest rate for each mortgage loan that accrues interest based on the actual number of days in each month and assuming a 360-day year, or an “actual/360 basis”, will be recalculated, if necessary, so that the amount of interest that would accrue at that recalculated rate in the applicable month, calculated on a 30/360 basis, will equal the amount of interest that is required to be paid on that mortgage loan in that month, subject to certain adjustments as described in “Description of the Certificates—Distributions—Pass-Through Rates” and “—Interest Distribution Amount”.

 

C. Servicing and

  Administration Fees Each of the master servicer and the special servicer is entitled to a servicing fee or special servicing fee, as the case may be, from the interest payments on each mortgage loan (other than any non-serviced mortgage

 

 39

 

 

loan with respect to the special servicing fee only), any related serviced companion loan and any related REO loans and, with respect to the special servicing fees, if the related mortgage loan interest payments (or other collections in respect of the related mortgage loan or mortgaged property) are insufficient, then from general collections on all mortgage loans.

 

The servicing fee for each distribution date, including the master servicing fee and the portion of the servicing fee payable to any primary servicer or subservicer, is calculated on the outstanding principal amount of each mortgage loan (including any non-serviced mortgage loan) and any related serviced companion loan at the servicing fee rate equal to a per annum rate ranging from 0.00375% to 0.09755%.

 

The special servicing fee for each distribution date is calculated based on the outstanding principal amount of each mortgage loan (other than any non-serviced mortgage loan) and any related serviced companion loan as to which a special servicing transfer event has occurred (including any REO loans), on a loan-by-loan basis at the special servicing fee rate equal to the greater of 0.25000% per annum and the rate that would result in a special servicing fee of $3,500 for the related month. The special servicer will not be entitled to a special servicing fee with respect to any non-serviced mortgage loan.

 

Any primary servicing fees or sub-servicing fees with respect to each mortgage loan and any related serviced companion loan will be paid out of the servicing fees and special servicing fees, as applicable, described above.

 

The master servicer and the special servicer are also entitled to additional fees and amounts, including income on the amounts held in certain accounts and certain permitted investments, liquidation fees and workout fees. See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Servicing and Other Compensation and Payment of Expenses”.

 

The certificate administrator fee for each distribution date is calculated on the outstanding principal amount of each mortgage loan and REO loan (including any non-serviced mortgage loan, but not any companion loan) at a per annum rate equal to 0.00908%. The trustee fee is payable by the certificate administrator from the certificate administrator fee.

 

The operating advisor will be entitled to a fee on each distribution date calculated on the outstanding principal amount of each mortgage loan and REO loan at a per

 

 40

 

 

annum rate equal to (i) 0.00200% with respect to each mortgage loan (other than the mortgage loans identified on Annex A-1 as DoubleTree Wilmington, 50 Varick Street, Manchester Financial Building, and Atrisco Plaza Shopping Center) and REO loan, (ii) 0.00408% with respect to the mortgage loan identified on Annex A-1 as DoubleTree Wilmington, (iii) 0.00488% with respect to the mortgage loan identified on Annex A-1 as 50 Varick Street, (iv) 0.00533% with respect to the mortgage loan identified on Annex A-1 as Manchester Financial Building, and (v) 0.00539% with respect to the mortgage loan identified on Annex A-1 as Atrisco Plaza Shopping Center.

 

The asset representations reviewer will be entitled to an upfront fee of $5,000 on the closing date. As compensation for the performance of its routine duties, the asset representations reviewer will be entitled to a fee on each distribution date calculated on the outstanding principal amount of each mortgage loan and REO loan (including any non-serviced mortgage loan, but excluding any related companion loan(s)) at a per annum rate equal to 0.00067%. Upon the completion of any asset review with respect to each delinquent loan, the asset representations reviewer will be entitled to a per loan fee in an amount described in “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Servicing and Other Compensation and Payment of Expenses—Asset Representations Reviewer Compensation”.

 

Each party to the pooling and servicing agreement will also be entitled to be reimbursed by the issuing entity for costs, expenses and liabilities borne by them in certain circumstances. Fees and expenses payable by the issuing entity to any party to the pooling and servicing agreement are generally payable prior to any distributions to certificateholders.

 

Additionally, with respect to each distribution date, an amount equal to the product of 0.00050% per annum multiplied by the outstanding principal amount of each mortgage loan and any REO loan will be payable to CRE Finance Council® as a license fee for use of its name and trademarks, including an investor reporting package. This fee will be payable prior to any distributions to certificateholders.

 

Payment of the fees and reimbursement of the costs and expenses described above will generally have priority over the distribution of amounts payable to the certificateholders. See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Servicing and Other Compensation and Payment of Expenses” and “—Limitation on Liability; Indemnification”.

 

 41

 

 

With respect to each non-serviced mortgage loan set forth in the table below, the master servicer under the related pooling and servicing agreement governing the servicing of that mortgage loan will be entitled to a primary servicing fee at a rate equal to a per annum rate set forth in the table below, and the special servicer under the related pooling and servicing agreement will be entitled to a special servicing fee at a rate equal to the per annum rate set forth below. In addition, each party to the pooling and servicing agreement governing the servicing of a non-serviced mortgage loan will be entitled to receive other fees and reimbursements with respect to such non-serviced mortgage loan in amounts, from sources, and at frequencies, that are similar, but not necessarily identical, to those described above and, in certain cases (for example, with respect to unreimbursed special servicing fees and servicing advances with respect to such non-serviced whole loan), such amounts will be reimbursable from general collections on the mortgage loans to the extent not recoverable from such non-serviced whole loan and to the extent allocable to such non-serviced mortgage loan pursuant to the related intercreditor agreement. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loans”, “—The Non-Serviced AB Whole Loans” and “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans”.

A. Amount and Order of

 DistributionsOn each distribution date, funds available for distribution from the mortgage loans, net of (i) specified expenses of the issuing entity, including fees payable to, and costs and expenses reimbursable to, the master servicer, the special servicer, the certificate administrator, the trustee, the operating advisor and the asset representations reviewer, (ii) any yield maintenance charges and prepayment premiums and (iii) any excess interest distributable to the Class Z certificates will be distributed in the following amounts and order of priority:

For more detailed information regarding distributions on the certificates, see “Description of the Certificates—Distributions—Priority of Distributions”.

 

B. Interest and Principal

 EntitlementsA description of the interest entitlement of each class of certificates (other than the Class Z and Class R certificates) can be found in “Description of the Certificates—Distributions—Interest Distribution Amount”. As described in that section, there are circumstances in which your interest entitlement for a distribution date could be less than one full month’s interest at the pass-through rate on your certificate’s balance or notional amount.

 

A description of the amount of principal required to be distributed to each class of certificates entitled to principal on a particular distribution date can be found in “Description of the Certificates—Distributions—Principal Distribution Amount”.

 

C.  Yield Maintenance

Charges, Prepayment

PremiumsYield maintenance charges and prepayment premiums with respect to the mortgage loans will be allocated to the certificates as described in “Description of the Certificates—Allocation of Yield Maintenance Charges and Prepayment Premiums”.

 

For an explanation of the calculation of yield maintenance charges, see “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Certain Terms of the Mortgage Loans”.

 

 45

 

 

D.  Subordination,

Allocation of Losses

  and Certain Expenses The chart below describes the manner in which the payment rights of certain classes of certificates will be senior or subordinate, as the case may be, to the payment rights of other classes of certificates. The chart shows the entitlement to receive principal and/or interest of certain classes of certificates (other than excess interest that accrues on each mortgage loan that has an anticipated repayment date) on any distribution date in descending order. It also shows the manner in which mortgage loan losses are allocated to certain classes of the certificates in ascending order (beginning with the non-offered certificates, other than the Class Z and Class R certificates) to reduce the certificate balance of each such class to zero; provided that no principal payments or mortgage loan losses will be allocated to the Class X-A, Class X-B, Class Z or Class R certificates, although principal payments and mortgage loan losses may reduce the notional amounts of the Class X-A and Class X-B certificates and, therefore, the amount of interest they accrue.
   
  (FLOW CHART) 

 

(1)The Class X-A and Class X-B certificates are interest-only certificates.

 

(2)Other than the Class Z and Class R certificates.

 

Other than the subordination of certain classes of certificates, as described above, no other form of credit enhancement will be available for the benefit of the holders of the offered certificates.

 

Principal losses and principal payments, if any, on mortgage loans that are allocated to a class of certificates (other than the Class X-A, Class X-B, Class Z or Class R certificates) will reduce the certificate balance of that class of certificates.

 

The notional amount of the Class X-A certificates will be reduced by the aggregate amount of principal losses or principal payments, if any, allocated to the Class A-1,

 

 46

 

 

Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4 and Class A-5 certificates. The notional amount of the Class X-B certificates will be reduced by the aggregate amount of principal losses or principal payments, if any, allocated to the Class A-S, Class B and Class C certificates.

 

To the extent funds are available on a subsequent distribution date for distribution on your offered certificates, you will be reimbursed for any losses allocated to your offered certificates with interest at the pass-through rate on those offered certificates in accordance with the distribution priorities.

 

See “Description of the Certificates—Subordination; Allocation of Realized Losses” for more detailed information regarding the subordination provisions applicable to the certificates and the allocation of losses to the certificates.

 

E.   Shortfalls in Available

FundsThe following types of shortfalls in available funds will reduce distributions to the classes of certificates with the lowest payment priorities. Shortfalls may occur as a result of:

 

the payment of special servicing fees and other additional compensation that the special servicer is entitled to receive;

 

interest on advances made by the master servicer, the special servicer or the trustee (to the extent not covered by late payment charges or default interest paid by the related borrower);

 

the application of appraisal reductions to reduce interest advances;

 

extraordinary expenses of the issuing entity including indemnification payments payable to the parties to the pooling and servicing agreement;

 

a modification of a mortgage loan’s interest rate or principal balance; and

 

other unanticipated or default-related expenses of the issuing entity.

 

In addition, prepayment interest shortfalls on the mortgage loans that are not covered by certain compensating interest payments made by the master servicer are required to be allocated among the classes of certificates (other than the Class Z certificates) entitled to interest, on a pro rata basis, to reduce the amount of interest payable on each such class of certificates to the extent described in this prospectus.

 

 47

 

 

See “Description of the Certificates—Prepayment Interest Shortfalls”.

 

F. Excess Interest On each distribution date, any excess interest in respect of the increase in the interest rate on any mortgage loan with an anticipated repayment date after the related anticipated repayment date to the extent actually collected and applied as interest during a collection period will be distributed to the holders of the Class Z certificates on the related distribution date as set forth in “Description of the Certificates—Distributions—Excess Interest”. This excess interest will not be available to make distributions to any other class of certificates or to provide credit support for other classes of certificates or offset any interest shortfalls or to pay any other amounts to any other party under the pooling and servicing agreement.

 

Advances

 

A. P&I Advances The master servicer is required to advance a delinquent periodic payment on each mortgage loan (including any non-serviced mortgage loan) or any REO loan (other than any portion of an REO loan related to a companion loan), unless in each case, the master servicer or the special servicer determines that the advance would be non-recoverable. Neither the master servicer nor the trustee will be required to advance balloon payments due at maturity or on an anticipated repayment date (as applicable) in excess of the regular periodic payment, interest in excess of a mortgage loan’s regular interest rate, default interest, late payment charges, prepayment premiums or yield maintenance charges.

 

The amount of the interest portion of any advance will be subject to reduction to the extent that an appraisal reduction of the related mortgage loan has occurred (and with respect to any mortgage loan that is part of a whole loan, to the extent such appraisal reduction amount is allocated to the related mortgage loan). There may be other circumstances in which the master servicer will not be required to advance a full month of principal and/or interest. If the master servicer fails to make a required advance, the trustee will be required to make the advance, unless the trustee determines that the advance would be non-recoverable. If an interest advance is made by the master servicer, the master servicer will not advance the portion of interest that constitutes its servicing fee, but will advance the portion of interest that constitutes the monthly fees payable to the certificate administrator, the trustee, the operating advisor and the asset representations reviewer and the CREFC® license fee.

 

 48

 

 

None of the master servicer, the special servicer or the trustee will make, or be permitted to make, any principal or interest advance with respect to any companion loan.

 

See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Advances”.

 

B. Property Protection

 AdvancesThe master servicer may be required to make advances with respect to the mortgage loans (other than any non-serviced mortgage loan) and any related companion loan to pay delinquent real estate taxes, assessments and hazard insurance premiums and similar expenses necessary to:

 

protect and maintain (and in the case of REO properties, lease and manage) the related mortgaged property;

 

maintain the lien on the related mortgaged property; and/or

 

enforce the related mortgage loan documents.

 

The special servicer will have no obligation to make any property protection advances (although it may elect to make them in an emergency circumstance in its sole discretion). If the special servicer makes a property protection advance, the master servicer will be required to reimburse the special servicer for that advance (unless the master servicer determines that the advance would be non-recoverable, in which case the advance will be reimbursed out of the collection account) and the master servicer will be deemed to have made that advance as of the date made by the special servicer.

 

If the master servicer fails to make a required advance of this type, the trustee will be required to make this advance. None of the master servicer, the special servicer or the trustee is required to advance amounts determined by such party to be non-recoverable.

 

See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Advances”.

 

With respect to any non-serviced mortgage loan, the master servicer (and the trustee, as applicable) under the pooling and servicing agreement governing the servicing of that non-serviced whole loan will be required to make similar advances with respect to delinquent real estate taxes, assessments and hazard insurance premiums as described above.

 

C. Interest on Advances The master servicer, the special servicer and the trustee, as applicable, will be entitled to interest on the above described advances at the “prime rate” as

 

 49

 

 

published in The Wall Street Journal, as described in this prospectus. Interest accrued on outstanding advances may result in reductions in amounts otherwise payable on the certificates. Neither the master servicer nor the trustee will be entitled to interest on advances made with respect to principal and interest due on a mortgage loan until the related due date has passed and any grace period for late payments applicable to the mortgage loan has expired. See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Advances”.

 

With respect to any non-serviced mortgage loan, the applicable makers of advances under the related pooling and servicing agreement governing the servicing of the non-serviced whole loan will similarly be entitled to interest on advances, and any accrued and unpaid interest on property protection advances made in respect of such non-serviced mortgage loan may be reimbursed from general collections on the other mortgage loans included in the issuing entity to the extent not recoverable from such non-serviced whole loan and to the extent allocable to such non-serviced mortgage loan in accordance with the related intercreditor agreement.

 

The Mortgage Pool

 

The Mortgage Pool The issuing entity’s primary assets will be forty-nine (49) fixed rate commercial mortgage loans, each evidenced by one or more promissory notes secured by first mortgages, deeds of trust, deeds to secure debt or similar security instruments on the fee and/or leasehold estate of the related borrower in one hundred and thirty-one (131) commercial or multifamily properties. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—General”.

 

The aggregate principal balance of the mortgage loans as of the cut-off date will be approximately $743,403,651.

 

Whole Loans

 

Unless otherwise expressly stated in this prospectus, the term “mortgage loan” refers to each of the forty-nine (49) commercial mortgage loans to be held by the issuing entity. Of the mortgage loans, each mortgage loan in the table below is part of a larger whole loan, which is comprised of the related mortgage loan and one or more loans that are pari passu in right of payment to the related mortgage loan and evidenced by separate promissory notes (each referred to in this prospectus as a “pari passu companion loan”) and/or, in certain cases, one or more loans that are subordinate in right of payment to the related mortgage loan (each referred to

 

 50

 

 

in this prospectus as a “subordinate companion loan”, and any pari passu companion loan or subordinate companion loan may also be referred to herein as a “companion loan”). The companion loans, together with their related mortgage loan, are referred to in this prospectus as a “whole loan”.

From and after the date on which the related controlling companion loan is securitized (the “servicing shift securitization date”), it is anticipated that each servicing shift whole loan will be serviced under, and by the master servicer (a “servicing shift master servicer”) and the special servicer (a “servicing shift special servicer”) designated in, the related pooling and servicing agreement entered into in connection with such securitization (a “servicing shift pooling and servicing agreement”). In each case, prior to the related servicing shift securitization date, the servicing shift whole loans will be “serviced whole loans”, the related mortgage loans will be “serviced mortgage loans” and the related companion loans will be “serviced companion loans”. In each case, on and after the related servicing shift securitization date, the servicing shift whole loans will be “non-serviced whole loans”, the related mortgage loans will be “non-serviced mortgage loans” and the related companion loans will be “non-serviced companion loans”.

 

Each whole loan identified in the table below will not be serviced under the pooling and servicing agreement for this transaction and instead will be serviced under a separate pooling and servicing agreement or trust and servicing agreement identified below entered into in connection with the securitization of one or more related companion loan(s) and is referred to in this prospectus as a “non-serviced whole loan”. The related mortgage loan is referred to as a “non-serviced mortgage loan” and the related companion loans are each referred to in this prospectus as a “non-serviced companion loan” or collectively, as the “non-serviced companion loans”.

Mortgage Loan Characteristics

 

The following tables set forth certain anticipated characteristics of the mortgage loans as of the cut-off date (unless otherwise indicated). Except as specifically provided in this prospectus, various information presented in this prospectus (including loan-to-value ratios, debt service coverage ratios, debt yields and cut-off date balances per net rentable square foot, pad, room or unit, as applicable) with respect to any mortgage loan with a pari passu companion loan or subordinate companion loan is calculated including the principal balance and debt service payment of the related pari passu companion loan(s), but is calculated excluding the principal balance and debt service payment of the related subordinate companion loan (or any other subordinate debt encumbering the related mortgaged property or any related mezzanine debt or preferred equity). Unless specifically indicated, no subordinate companion loans are included in the presentation of numerical and statistical information with respect to the composition of the mortgage pool contained in this prospectus (including any tables, charts and information set forth on Annex A-1 and Annex A-2).

 

The sum of the numerical data in any column may not equal the indicated total due to rounding. Unless otherwise indicated, all figures and percentages presented in this “Summary of Terms” are calculated as described under “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Certain Calculations and Definitions” and, unless otherwise indicated, such figures and percentages are approximate and in each case, represent the indicated figure or percentage of the aggregate principal balance of the pool of mortgage loans as of the cut-off date. The principal balance of each mortgage loan as of the cut-off date assumes (or, in the case of each mortgage loan with a cut-off date prior to the date of this prospectus, reflects) the timely receipt of principal scheduled to be paid on or before the cut-off date and no defaults, delinquencies or prepayments on, or modifications of, any mortgage loan on or prior to the cut-off date. Whenever percentages and other information in this prospectus are presented on the mortgaged property level rather than the mortgage loan level, the information for mortgage loans secured by more than

 

 54

 

 

one mortgaged property is based on allocated loan amounts as stated in Annex A-1.

 

The mortgage loans will have the following approximate characteristics as of the cut-off date:

(5)Unless otherwise indicated under “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Appraised Value”, the cut-off date loan-to-value ratio and maturity date loan-to-value ratio have been calculated using the “as-is” appraised value.

 

(6)Debt service coverage ratios are calculated using the average of the principal and interest payments for the first twelve payment periods of the mortgage loan following the cut-off date, provided that (i) in the case of a mortgage loan that provides for interest-only payments through maturity or its anticipated repayment date, as applicable, such items are calculated based on the interest payments scheduled to be due on the first due date following the cut-off date and the 11 due dates thereafter for such mortgage loan and (ii) in the case of a mortgage loan that provides for an initial interest-only period that ends prior to maturity or its anticipated repayment date, as applicable, and provides for scheduled amortization payments thereafter, such items are calculated based on the monthly payment of principal and interest payable for the 12 payment periods immediately following the expiration of the interest-only period.

 

All of the mortgage loans accrue interest on an actual/360 basis.

 

For further information regarding the mortgage loans, see “Description of the Mortgage Pool”.

Modified and Refinanced

LoansAs of the cut-off date, other than as described below, none of the mortgage loans were modified due to a delinquency or were refinancings of loans in default at the time of refinancing and/or otherwise involved discounted pay-offs in connection with the origination of such mortgage loans.

 

With respect to the mortgage loan secured by the mortgaged property identified on Annex A-1 as Manchester Financial Building, representing approximately 2.0% of the aggregate principal balance of the pool of mortgage loans as of the cut-off date, the mortgaged property was previously encumbered by a prior loan that went into maturity default in July 2017 and was subject to a two-month extension. The mortgage loan paid off such prior loan in full.

 

With respect to the mortgage loan secured by the mortgaged property identified on Annex A-1 as 50 Republic & 40 Marcus Drive, representing 1.7% of the aggregate principal balance of the pool of mortgage loans as of the cut-off date, proceeds of such mortgage loan were used to refinance a prior loan encumbering the mortgaged property that was in maturity default. The maturity date of such prior loan was extended and the default was cured in full in April 2017. The mortgage loan paid off such prior loan in full.

 

See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Loan Purpose; Default History, Bankruptcy Issues and Other Proceedings”.

 

Loans with Limited

Operating History With respect to fifty-one (51) of the mortgaged properties or portfolio of mortgaged properties securing fourteen (14) mortgage loans representing approximately 26.5% of the aggregate principal balance of the pool of mortgage loans as of the cut-off date (by allocated loan amount), such mortgaged properties (i) were constructed or the subject of a major renovation that was completed within 12 calendar months prior to the cut-off date and, therefore, the related mortgaged property has no or limited prior operating history, (ii) have a borrower or an affiliate under the related mortgage loan that acquired the related mortgaged property within 12 calendar months prior to the related cut-off date and such borrower or affiliate was unable to provide the related mortgage loan seller with historical financial information (or provided limited historical financial information) for such acquired mortgaged property or (iii) are single tenant properties subject to triple-net leases with the related tenant where the related borrower did not provide the related

 

 57

 

 

mortgage loan seller with historical financial information for the related mortgaged property.

 

See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Certain Calculations and Definitions” and “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Mortgage Pool Characteristics—Mortgaged Properties With Limited Prior Operating History”.

 

Certain Variances from

Underwriting Standards Each sponsor maintains its own set of underwriting guidelines, which typically relate to credit and collateral analysis, loan approval, debt service coverage ratio and loan-to-value ratio analysis, assessment of property condition, escrow requirements and requirements regarding title insurance policy and property insurance. Certain of the mortgage loans may vary from the related mortgage loan seller’s underwriting guidelines described under “Transaction Parties—The Sponsors and Mortgage Loan Sellers”.

Credit Risk Retention For a discussion of the manner in which the U.S. credit risk retention requirements will be satisfied by UBS AG, New York Branch, as retaining sponsor, see “Credit Risk Retention”.

 

None of the sponsors, the depositor or the issuing entity intends to retain a material net economic interest in the securitization constituted by the issue of the offered certificates in accordance with the EU risk retention and due diligence requirements or to take any other action which may be required by EEA-regulated investors for the purposes of compliance with the EU risk retention and due diligence requirements or similar requirements. See “Risk Factors—Other Risks Relating to the Certificates—Legal and Regulatory Provisions Affecting Investors Could Adversely Affect the Liquidity of the Offered Certificates”.

 

Information Available to

CertificateholdersOn each distribution date, the certificate administrator will prepare and make available to each certificateholder of record, initially expected to be Cede & Co., a statement as to the distributions being made on that date. Additionally, under certain circumstances, certificateholders of record may be entitled to certain other information regarding the issuing entity. See “Description of the Certificates—Reports to Certificateholders; Certain Available Information”.

 

Deal Information/Analytics Certain information concerning the mortgage loans and the certificates may be available to subscribers through the following services:

 

Bloomberg, L.P., Trepp, LLC, Intex Solutions, Inc., BlackRock Financial Management Inc., Interactive Data Corporation, CMBS.com, Inc., Markit, Moody’s Analytics, RealINSIGHT and Thomson Reuters Corporation;

 

the certificate administrator’s website initially located at www.ctslink.com; and

 

the master servicer’s website initially located at www.pnc.com/midland.

 

Optional Termination On any distribution date on which the aggregate principal balance of the pool of mortgage loans is less than 1.0% of the aggregate principal balance of the mortgage loans as of the cut-off date, certain entities specified in this prospectus will have the option to purchase all of the remaining mortgage loans (and all

 

 59

 

 

property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any mortgage loan) at the price specified in this prospectus.

 

The issuing entity may also be terminated in connection with a voluntary exchange of all of the then-outstanding certificates (other than the Class Z and Class R certificates) for the mortgage loans then held by the issuing entity, provided that (i) the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-S, Class B and Class C certificates are no longer outstanding, (ii) there is only one holder (or multiple holders acting unanimously) of the outstanding certificates (other than the Class Z and Class R certificates) and (iii) the master servicer consents to the exchange.

 

See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Termination; Retirement of Certificates”.

 

Required Repurchases or

Substitutions of Mortgage

Loans; Loss of Value

PaymentUnder certain circumstances, the related mortgage loan seller may be obligated to (i) repurchase (without payment of any yield maintenance charge or prepayment premium) or substitute for an affected mortgage loan from the issuing entity or (ii) make a cash payment that would be deemed sufficient to compensate the issuing entity in the event of a document defect or a breach of a representation and warranty made by the related mortgage loan seller with respect to the mortgage loan in the related mortgage loan purchase agreement that materially and adversely affects the value of the mortgage loan, the value of the related mortgaged property or the interests of any certificateholders in the mortgage loan or mortgaged property or causes the mortgage loan to be other than a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (but without regard to the rule of Treasury regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that causes a defective loan to be treated as a “qualified mortgage”). In addition, Ladder Capital Finance Holdings LLLP, Series REIT of Ladder Capital Finance Holdings LLLP and Series TRS of Ladder Capital Finance Holdings LLLP are to agree, pursuant to the related mortgage loan purchase agreement, to guarantee payment in connection with the performance of such obligations on the part of Ladder Capital Finance LLC. See “Description of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements—General”.

Sale of Defaulted Loans Pursuant to the pooling and servicing agreement, under certain circumstances the special servicer is required to use reasonable efforts to solicit offers for defaulted serviced mortgage loans (or a defaulted serviced whole loan and/or related REO properties) and, in the absence of a cash offer at least equal to its outstanding principal balance plus all accrued and unpaid interest and outstanding costs and expenses and certain other amounts under the pooling and servicing agreement, may accept the first (and, if multiple offers are received, the highest) cash offer from any person that constitutes a fair price for the defaulted serviced mortgage loan (or defaulted whole loan) or related REO property, determined as described in “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Realization Upon Mortgage Loans” and “—Sale of Defaulted Loans and REO Properties”, unless the special servicer determines, in accordance with the servicing standard (and subject to the requirements of any related intercreditor agreement), that rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the certificateholders and any related companion loan holder (as a collective whole as if such certificateholders and such companion loan holder constituted a single lender).

 

With respect to any non-serviced mortgage loan, if a related pari passu companion loan becomes a defaulted mortgage loan under the pooling and servicing agreement for the related pari passu companion loan and the special servicer under the related pooling and servicing agreement for the related pari passu companion loan(s) determines to sell such pari passu companion loan(s), then that special servicer will be required to sell such non-serviced mortgage loan together with the related pari passu companion loan(s) and any related subordinate companion loan(s) in a manner similar to that described above. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans”.

 

With respect to any mortgage loan as to which equity interests in the related borrower directly or indirectly secure mezzanine debt, the mezzanine lender will generally have the option to purchase such mortgage loan under certain default scenarios.

 

Tax Status Elections will be made to treat designated portions of the issuing entity (exclusive of interest that is deferred after the anticipated repayment date of any mortgage loan with an anticipated repayment date and the excess interest distribution account) as two separate REMICs – the lower-tier REMIC and the upper-tier REMIC – for federal income tax purposes. In addition, the portion of the issuing entity consisting of the excess interest accrued on each mortgage loan with an anticipated

 

 61

 

 

repayment date, beneficial ownership of which is represented by the Class Z certificates, will be treated as a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes.

 

Pertinent federal income tax consequences of an investment in the offered certificates include:

 

Each class of offered certificates will constitute REMIC “regular interests”.

 

The offered certificates will be treated as newly originated debt instruments for federal income tax purposes.

 

You will be required to report income on your offered certificates using the accrual method of accounting.

 

It is anticipated that the Class [__] certificates will be issued with original issue discount and that the Class [__] certificates will be issued at a premium for federal income tax purposes.

 

See “Material Federal Income Tax Considerations”.

 

Certain ERISA

ConsiderationsSubject to important considerations described under “Certain ERISA Considerations”, the offered certificates are eligible for purchase by persons investing assets of employee benefit plans or individual retirement accounts.

 

Legal Investment None of the certificates will constitute “mortgage related securities” for purposes of the Secondary Mortgage Market Enhancement Act of 1984, as amended.

 

If your investment activities are subject to legal investment laws and regulations, regulatory capital requirements, or review by regulatory authorities, then you may be subject to restrictions on investment in the certificates. You should consult your own legal advisors for assistance in determining the suitability of and consequences to you of the purchase, ownership, and sale of the certificates.

 

The issuing entity will not be registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The issuing entity will be relying on an exclusion or exemption from the definition of “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, contained in Section 3(c)(5) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or Rule 3a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, although there may be additional exclusions or exemptions available to the issuing entity. The issuing entity is being structured so as not to

 

 62

 

 

constitute a “covered fund” for purposes of the Volcker Rule under the Dodd-Frank Act (both as defined in this prospectus).

 

See “Legal Investment”.

 

RatingsThe offered certificates will not be issued unless each of the offered classes receives a credit rating from one or more of the nationally recognized statistical rating organizations engaged by the depositor to rate the offered certificates. The decision not to engage one or more other rating agencies in the rating of certain classes of certificates to be issued in connection with this transaction, may negatively impact the liquidity, market value and regulatory characteristics of those classes of certificates. Neither the depositor nor any other person or entity will have any duty to notify you if any other nationally recognized statistical rating organization issues, or delivers notice of its intention to issue, unsolicited ratings on one or more classes of certificates after the date of this prospectus.

 

See “Risk Factors—Other Risks Relating to the Certificates—Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations May Assign Different Ratings to the Certificates; Ratings of the Certificates Reflect Only the Views of the Applicable Rating Agencies as of the Dates Such Ratings Were Issued; Ratings May Affect ERISA Eligibility; Ratings May Be Downgraded” and “Ratings”.

Risk Factors

 

You should carefully consider the following risks before making an investment decision. In particular, distributions on your certificates will depend on payments received on, and other recoveries with respect to the mortgage loans. Therefore, you should carefully consider the risk factors relating to the mortgage loans and the mortgaged properties.

 

If any of the following events or circumstances identified as risks actually occur or materialize, your investment could be materially and adversely affected. We note that additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us may also impair your investment.

 

This prospectus also contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including the risks described below and elsewhere in this prospectus.

 

The Certificates May Not Be a Suitable Investment for You

 

The certificates will not be suitable investments for all investors. In particular, you should not purchase any class of certificates unless you understand and are able to bear the risk that the yield to maturity and the aggregate amount and timing of distributions on the certificates will be subject to material variability from period to period and give rise to the potential for significant loss over the life of the certificates. The interaction of the foregoing factors and their effects are impossible to predict and are likely to change from time to time. As a result, an investment in the certificates involves substantial risks and uncertainties and should be considered only by sophisticated institutional investors with substantial investment experience with similar types of securities and who have conducted appropriate due diligence on the mortgage loans, the mortgaged properties and the certificates.

 

Combination or “Layering” of Multiple Risks May Significantly Increase Risk of Loss

 

Although the various risks discussed in this prospectus are generally described separately, you should consider the potential effects of the interplay of multiple risk factors. Where more than one significant risk factor is present, the risk of loss to an investor in the certificates may be significantly increased.

 

Risks Related to Market Conditions and Other External Factors

 

The Volatile Economy, Credit Crisis and Downturn in the Real Estate Market Adversely Affected the Value of CMBS and Similar Factors May in the Future Adversely Affect the Value of CMBS

 

In recent years, the real estate and securitization markets, including the market for commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”), experienced significant dislocations, illiquidity and volatility. We cannot assure you that another dislocation in CMBS will not occur.

 

Any economic downturn may adversely affect the financial resources of borrowers under commercial mortgage loans and may result in their inability to make payments on, or refinance, their outstanding mortgage debt when due or to sell their mortgaged properties

 

 64

 

 

for an aggregate amount sufficient to pay off the outstanding debt when due. As a result, distributions of principal and interest on your certificates, and the value of your certificates, could be adversely affected.

 

Other Events May Affect the Value and Liquidity of Your Investment

 

Moreover, other types of events, domestic or international, may affect general economic conditions and financial markets:

 

Wars, revolts, terrorist attacks, armed conflicts, energy supply or price disruptions, political crises, natural disasters and man-made disasters may have an adverse effect on the mortgaged properties and/or your certificates; and

 

Trading activity associated with indices of CMBS may drive spreads on those indices wider than spreads on CMBS, thereby resulting in a decrease in value of such CMBS, including your certificates, and spreads on those indices may be affected by a variety of factors, and may or may not be affected for reasons involving the commercial and multifamily real estate markets and may be affected for reasons that are unknown and cannot be discerned.

 

You should consider that the foregoing factors may adversely affect the performance of the mortgage loans and accordingly the performance of the offered certificates.

 

Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans

 

Mortgage Loans Are Non-Recourse and Are Not Insured or Guaranteed

 

The mortgage loans are not insured or guaranteed by any person or entity, governmental or otherwise.

 

Investors should treat each mortgage loan as a non-recourse loan. If a default occurs on a non-recourse loan, recourse generally may be had only against the specific mortgaged properties and other assets that have been pledged to secure the mortgage loan. Consequently, payment prior to maturity is dependent primarily on the sufficiency of the net operating income of the mortgaged property. Payment at maturity or on an anticipated repayment date is primarily dependent upon the market value of the mortgaged property or the borrower’s ability to refinance or sell the mortgaged property.

 

Although the mortgage loans generally are non-recourse in nature, certain mortgage loans contain non-recourse carveouts for liabilities such as liabilities as a result of fraud by the borrower, certain voluntary insolvency proceedings or other matters. Certain mortgage loans set forth under “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Non-Recourse Carveout Limitations” either do not contain non-recourse carveouts or contain material limitations to non-recourse carveouts. Often these obligations are guaranteed by an affiliate of the related borrower, although liability under any such guaranty may be capped or otherwise limited in amount or scope. Furthermore, certain guarantors may be foreign entities or individuals which, while subject to the domestic governing law provisions in the guaranty and related mortgage loan documents, could nevertheless require enforcement of any judgment in relation to a guaranty in a foreign jurisdiction, which could, in turn, cause a significant time delay or result in the inability to enforce the guaranty under foreign law. Additionally, the guarantor’s net worth and liquidity may be less (and in some cases, materially less) than amounts due under the related mortgage loan or the guarantor’s sole asset may be its interest in the related borrower. Certain mortgage loans may have the benefit of a general payment guaranty of a portion of the indebtedness under the mortgage

 

 65

 

 

loan. In all cases, however, the mortgage loans should be considered to be non-recourse obligations because neither the depositor nor the sponsors make any representation or warranty as to the obligation or ability of any borrower or guarantor to pay any deficiencies between any foreclosure proceeds and the mortgage loan indebtedness.

 

Risks of Commercial and Multifamily Lending Generally

 

The mortgage loans will be secured by various income-producing commercial and multifamily properties. The repayment of a commercial or multifamily loan is typically dependent upon the ability of the related mortgaged property to produce cash flow through the collection of rents. Even the liquidation value of a commercial property is determined, in substantial part, by the capitalization of the property’s ability to produce cash flow. However, net operating income can be volatile and may be insufficient to cover debt service on the loan at any given time.

 

The net operating incomes and property values of the mortgaged properties may be adversely affected by a large number of factors. Some of these factors relate to the properties themselves, such as:

 

the age, design and construction quality of the properties;

 

perceptions regarding the safety, convenience and attractiveness of the properties;

 

the characteristics and desirability of the area where the property is located;

 

the strength and nature of the local economy, including labor costs and quality, tax environment and quality of life for employees;

 

the proximity and attractiveness of competing properties;

 

the adequacy of the property’s management and maintenance;

 

increases in interest rates, real estate taxes and operating expenses at the property and in relation to competing properties;

 

an increase in the capital expenditures needed to maintain the properties or make improvements;

 

the dependence upon a single tenant or concentration of tenants in a particular business or industry;

 

a decline in the businesses operated by tenants or in their financial condition;

 

an increase in vacancy rates; and

 

a decline in rental rates as leases are renewed or entered into with new tenants.

 

Other factors are more general in nature, such as:

 

national or regional economic conditions, including plant closings, military base closings, industry slowdowns, oil and/or gas drilling facility slowdowns or closings and unemployment rates;

 

local real estate conditions, such as an oversupply of competing properties, retail space, office space, multifamily housing or hotel capacity;

 

 66

 

 

demographic factors;

 

consumer confidence;

 

consumer tastes and preferences;

 

political factors;

 

environmental factors;

 

seismic activity risk;

 

retroactive changes in building codes;

 

changes or continued weakness in specific industry segments;

 

location of certain mortgaged properties in less densely populated or less affluent areas; and

 

the public perception of safety for customers and clients.

 

The volatility of net operating income will be influenced by many of the foregoing factors, as well as by:

 

the length of tenant leases (including that in certain cases, all or substantially all of the tenants, or one or more sole, anchor or other major tenants, at a particular mortgaged property may have leases that expire or permit the tenant(s) to terminate its lease during the term of the loan);

 

the quality and creditworthiness of tenants;

 

tenant defaults;

 

in the case of rental properties, the rate at which new rentals occur; and

 

the property’s “operating leverage”, which is generally the percentage of total property expenses in relation to revenue, the ratio of fixed operating expenses to those that vary with revenues, and the level of capital expenditures required to maintain the property and to retain or replace tenants.

 

A decline in the real estate market or in the financial condition of a major tenant will tend to have a more immediate effect on the net operating income of properties with relatively higher operating leverage or short term revenue sources, such as short term or month to month leases, and may lead to higher rates of delinquency or defaults.

 

Performance of the Mortgage Loans Will Be Highly Dependent on the Performance of Tenants and Tenant Leases

 

General

 

Any tenant may, from time to time, experience a downturn in its business, which may weaken its financial condition and result in a reduction or failure to make rental payments when due. Tenants under certain leases included in the underwritten net cash flow, underwritten net operating income or occupancy may nonetheless be in financial distress. If tenants’ sales were to decline, percentage rents may decline and, further, tenants may be unable to pay their base rent or other occupancy costs. If a tenant defaults in its

 

 67

 

 

obligations to a property owner, that property owner may experience delays in enforcing its rights as lessor and may incur substantial costs and experience significant delays associated with protecting its investment, including costs incurred in renovating and reletting the property.

 

Additionally, the income from, and market value of, the mortgaged properties leased to various tenants would be adversely affected if:

 

space in the mortgaged properties could not be leased or re-leased or substantial re-leasing costs were required and/or the cost of performing landlord obligations under existing leases materially increased;

 

leasing or re-leasing is restricted by exclusive rights of tenants to lease the mortgaged properties or other covenants not to lease space for certain uses or activities, or covenants limiting the types of tenants to which space may be leased;

 

a significant tenant were to become a debtor in a bankruptcy case;

 

rental payments could not be collected for any other reason; or

 

a borrower fails to perform its obligations under a lease resulting in the related tenant having a right to terminate such lease.

 

In addition, certain tenants may be part of a chain that is in financial distress as a whole, or the tenant’s parent company may have implemented or expressed an intent to implement a plan to consolidate or reorganize its operations, close a number of stores in the chain, reduce exposure, relocate stores or otherwise reorganize its business to cut costs.

 

There may be (and there may exist from time to time) pending or threatened legal proceedings against, or disputes with, certain tenants and/or their parent companies that may have a material adverse effect on the related tenant’s ability to pay rent or remain open for business. We cannot assure you that any such litigation or dispute will not result in a material decline in net operating income at the related mortgaged property.

 

Certain tenants currently may be in a rent abatement period. We cannot assure you that such tenants will be in a position to pay full rent when the abatement period expires. We cannot assure you that the net operating income contributed by the mortgaged properties will remain at its current or past levels.

 

A Tenant Concentration May Result in Increased Losses

 

Mortgaged properties that are owner-occupied or leased to a single tenant, or a tenant that makes up a significant portion of the rental income, also are more susceptible to interruptions of cash flow if that tenant’s business operations are negatively impacted or if such tenant fails to renew its lease. This is so because:

 

the financial effect of the absence of rental income may be severe;

 

more time may be required to re-lease the space; and

 

substantial capital costs may be incurred to make the space appropriate for replacement tenants.

 

In the event of a default by that tenant, if the related lease expires prior to the mortgage loan maturity date and the related tenant fails to renew its lease or if such tenant

 

 68

 

 

exercises an early termination option, there would likely be an interruption of rental payments under the lease and, accordingly, insufficient funds available to the borrower to pay the debt service on the mortgage loan. In certain cases where the tenant owns the improvements on the mortgaged property, the related borrower may be required to purchase such improvements in connection with the exercise of its remedies.

 

With respect to certain of these mortgaged properties that are leased to a single tenant, the related leases may expire prior to, or soon after, the maturity dates of the mortgage loans or the related tenant may have the right to terminate the lease prior to the maturity date of the mortgage loan. If the current tenant does not renew its lease on comparable economic terms to the expired lease, if a single tenant terminates its lease or if a suitable replacement tenant does not enter into a new lease on similar economic terms, there could be a negative impact on the payments on the related mortgage loan.

 

A deterioration in the financial condition of a tenant, the failure of a tenant to renew its lease or the exercise by a tenant of an early termination right can be particularly significant if a mortgaged property is owner-occupied, leased to a single tenant, or if any tenant makes up a significant portion of the rental income at the mortgaged property.

 

Concentrations of particular tenants among the mortgaged properties or within a particular business or industry at one or multiple mortgaged properties increase the possibility that financial problems with such tenants or such business or industry sectors could affect the mortgage loans. In addition, the mortgage loans may be adversely affected if a tenant at the mortgaged property is highly specialized, or dependent on a single industry or only a few customers for its revenue. See “—Tenant Bankruptcy Could Result in a Rejection of the Related Lease” below, and “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Tenant Issues—Tenant Concentrations” for information on tenant concentrations in the mortgage pool.

 

Mortgaged Properties Leased to Multiple Tenants Also Have Risks

 

If a mortgaged property has multiple tenants, re-leasing expenditures may be more frequent than in the case of mortgaged properties with fewer tenants, thereby reducing the cash flow available for payments on the related mortgage loan. Multi-tenant mortgaged properties also may experience higher continuing vacancy rates and greater volatility in rental income and expenses. See Annex A-1 for tenant lease expiration dates for the 5 largest tenants at each mortgaged property.

 

Mortgaged Properties Leased to Borrowers or Borrower Affiliated Entities Also Have Risks

 

If a mortgaged property is leased in whole or substantial part to the borrower under the mortgage loan or to an affiliate of the borrower, there may be conflicts of interest. For instance, it is more likely a landlord will waive lease conditions for an affiliated tenant than it would for an unaffiliated tenant. We cannot assure you that the conflicts of interest arising where a borrower is affiliated with a tenant at a mortgaged property will not adversely impact the value of the related mortgage loan.

 

In certain cases, an affiliated lessee may be a tenant under a master lease with the related borrower, under which the tenant is obligated to make rent payments but does not occupy any space at the mortgaged property. Master leases in these circumstances may be used to bring occupancy to a “stabilized” level with the intent of finding additional tenants to occupy some or all of the master leased space, but may not provide additional economic support for the mortgage loan. If a mortgaged property is leased in whole or substantial part to the borrower or to an affiliate of the borrower, a deterioration in the financial

 

 69

 

 

condition of the borrower or its affiliate could significantly affect the borrower’s ability to perform under the mortgage loan as it would directly interrupt the cash flow from the mortgaged property if the borrower’s or its affiliate’s financial condition worsens. We cannot assure you that any space leased by a borrower or an affiliate of the borrower will eventually be occupied by third party tenants.

 

See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Tenant Issues—Affiliated Leases” for information on properties leased in whole or in part to borrowers and their affiliates.

 

Tenant Bankruptcy Could Result in a Rejection of the Related Lease

 

The bankruptcy or insolvency of a major tenant or a number of smaller tenants, such as in retail properties, may have an adverse impact on the mortgaged properties affected and the income produced by such mortgaged properties. Under the federal bankruptcy code, a tenant has the option of assuming or rejecting or, subject to certain conditions, assuming and assigning to a third party, any unexpired lease. If the tenant rejects the lease, the landlord’s claim for breach of the lease would (absent collateral securing the claim) be treated as a general unsecured claim against the tenant and a lessor’s damages for lease rejection are generally subject to certain limitations. We cannot assure you that tenants of the mortgaged properties will continue making payments under their leases or that tenants will not file for bankruptcy protection in the future or, if any tenants do file, that they will continue to make rental payments in a timely manner. See “Certain Legal Aspects of Mortgage Loans—Bankruptcy Laws”. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Loan Purpose; Default History, Bankruptcy Issues and Other Proceedings” for information regarding bankruptcy issues with respect to certain mortgage loans.

 

In the case of certain mortgage loans included in the mortgage pool, it may be possible that the related master lease could be construed in a bankruptcy as a financing lease or other arrangement under which the related master lessee (and/or its affiliates) would be deemed as effectively the owner of the related mortgaged property, rather than a tenant, which could result in potentially adverse consequences for the trust, as the holder of such mortgage loan, including treatment of the mortgage loan as an unsecured obligation, a potentially greater risk of an unfavorable plan of reorganization and competing claims of creditors of the related master lessee and/or its affiliates. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Tenant Issues—Affiliated Leases”.

 

Leases That Are Not Subordinated to the Lien of the Mortgage or Do Not Contain Attornment Provisions May Have an Adverse Impact at Foreclosure

 

In certain jurisdictions, if tenant leases are subordinated to the liens created by the mortgage but do not contain attornment provisions that require the tenant to recognize a successor owner, the tenants may terminate their leases upon the transfer of the property to a foreclosing lender or purchaser at foreclosure. Accordingly, if a mortgaged property is located in such a jurisdiction and is leased to one or more desirable tenants under leases that are subordinate to the mortgage and do not contain attornment provisions, such mortgaged property could experience a further decline in value if such tenants’ leases were terminated. This is particularly likely if those tenants were paying above-market rents or could not be replaced. If a lease is not subordinate to a mortgage, the issuing entity will not possess the right to dispossess the tenant upon foreclosure of the mortgaged property (unless otherwise agreed to with the tenant). Also, if the lease contains provisions inconsistent with the mortgage (e.g., provisions relating to application of insurance proceeds or condemnation awards) or which could affect the enforcement of the lender’s rights (e.g., a right of first refusal to purchase the property), the provisions of the lease will

 

 70

 

 

take precedence over the provisions of the mortgage. Not all leases were reviewed to ascertain the existence of attornment or subordination provisions.

 

With respect to certain of the mortgage loans, the related borrower may have given to certain tenants or others an option to purchase, a right of first refusal and/or a right of first offer to purchase all or a portion of the mortgaged property in the event a sale is contemplated, and such right is not subordinate to the related mortgage. This may impede the mortgagee’s ability to sell the related mortgaged property at foreclosure, or, upon foreclosure, this may affect the value and/or marketability of the related mortgaged property. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Tenant Issues—Purchase Options and Rights of First Refusal” for information regarding material purchase options and/or rights of first refusal, if any, with respect to mortgaged properties securing certain mortgage loans.

 

Early Lease Termination Options May Reduce Cash Flow

 

Leases often give tenants the right to terminate the related lease, abate or reduce the related rent, and/or exercise certain remedies against the related borrower for various reasons or upon various conditions, including:

 

if the borrower for the applicable mortgaged property allows uses at the mortgaged property in violation of use restrictions in current tenant leases,

 

if the borrower or any of its affiliates owns other properties within a certain radius of the mortgaged property and allows uses at those properties in violation of use restrictions,

 

if the related borrower fails to provide a designated number of parking spaces,

 

if there is construction at the related mortgaged property or an adjacent property (whether or not such adjacent property is owned or controlled by the borrower or any of its affiliates) that may interfere with visibility of, access to or a tenant’s use of the mortgaged property or otherwise violate the terms of a tenant’s lease,

 

upon casualty or condemnation with respect to all or a portion of the mortgaged property that renders such mortgaged property unsuitable for a tenant’s use or if the borrower fails to rebuild such mortgaged property within a certain time,

 

if a tenant’s use is not permitted by zoning or applicable law,

 

if the tenant is unable to exercise an expansion right,

 

if the landlord defaults on its obligations under the lease,

 

if a landlord leases space at the mortgaged property or within a certain radius of the mortgaged property to a competitor,

 

if the tenant fails to meet certain sales targets or other business objectives for a specified period of time,

 

if significant tenants at the subject property go dark or terminate their leases, or if a specified percentage of the mortgaged property is unoccupied,

 

if the landlord violates the tenant’s exclusive use rights for a specified period of time,

 

 71

 

 

if the related borrower violates covenants under the related lease or if third parties take certain actions that adversely affect such tenants’ business or operations,

 

in the case of government sponsored tenants, at any time or for lack of appropriations, or

 

if the related borrower violates covenants under the related lease or if third parties take certain actions that adversely affect such tenants’ business or operations.

 

In certain cases, compliance or satisfaction of landlord covenants may be the responsibility of a third party affiliated with the borrower or, in the event that partial releases of the applicable mortgaged property are permitted, an unaffiliated or affiliated third party.

 

Any exercise of a termination right by a tenant at a mortgaged property could result in vacant space at the related mortgaged property, renegotiation of the lease with the related tenant or re-letting of the space. Any such vacated space may not be re-let. Furthermore, such foregoing termination and/or abatement rights may arise in the future or materially adversely affect the related borrower’s ability to meet its obligations under the related mortgage loan documents. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Tenant Issues—Lease Expirations and Terminations” for information on material tenant lease expirations and early termination options.

 

Mortgaged Properties Leased to Not-for-Profit Tenants Also Have Risks

 

Certain mortgaged properties may have tenants that are charitable institutions that generally rely on contributions from individuals and government grants or other subsidies to pay rent on office space and other operating expenses. We cannot assure you that the rate, frequency and level of individual contributions or governmental grants and subsidies will continue with respect to any such institution. A reduction in contributions or grants may impact the ability of the related institution to pay rent, and we cannot assure you that the related borrower will be in a position to meet its obligations under the related mortgage loan documents if such tenant fails to pay its rent.

 

Office Properties Have Special Risks

 

In addition to the factors discussed in “—Risks of Commercial and Multifamily Lending Generally” and “—Performance of the Mortgage Loans Will Be Highly Dependent on the Performance of Tenants and Tenant Leases” above, other factors may adversely affect the financial performance and value of office properties, including:

 

the physical attributes of the building in relation to competing buildings (e.g., age, condition, design, appearance, access to transportation and ability to offer certain amenities, such as sophisticated building systems and/or business wiring requirements);

 

the adaptability of the building to changes in the technological needs of the tenants;

 

an adverse change in population, patterns of telecommuting or sharing of office space, and employment growth (which creates demand for office space); and

 

in the case of a medical office property, (a) the proximity of such property to a hospital or other healthcare establishment, (b) reimbursements for patient fees from private or government sponsored insurers, (c) its ability to attract doctors and

 

 72

 

 

nurses to be on staff, and (d) its ability to afford and acquire the latest medical equipment. Issues related to reimbursement (ranging from nonpayment to delays in payment) from such insurers could adversely impact cash flow at such mortgaged property.

 

Certain office tenants at the mortgaged properties may use their leased space to create shared workspaces that they lease to other businesses. Shared workspaces are rented by customers on a short term basis. Short term space users may be more impacted by economic fluctuations compared to traditional long term office leases, which has the potential to impact operating profitability of the office tenant offering the shared space and, in turn, its ability to maintain its lease payments. This may subject the related mortgage loan to increased risk of default and loss.

 

Moreover, the cost of refitting office space for a new tenant is often higher than the cost of refitting other types of properties for new tenants.

 

If one or more major tenants at a particular office property were to close or remain vacant, we cannot assure you that such tenants would be replaced in a timely manner or without incurring material additional costs to the related borrower and resulting in an adverse effect on the financial performance of the property.

 

See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Mortgage Pool Characteristics—Property Types—Office Properties”.

 

Retail Properties Have Special Risks

 

Some of the mortgage loans are secured by retail properties. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Mortgage Pool Characteristics—Property Types—Retail Properties.” The value of retail properties is significantly affected by the quality of the tenants as well as fundamental aspects of real estate, such as location and market demographics, as well as changes in shopping methods and choices. Some of the risks related to these matters are further described in “—Risks of Commercial and Multifamily Lending Generally” and “—Performance of the Mortgage Loans Will Be Highly Dependent on the Performance of Tenants and Tenant Leases” above, and “—Changes in the Retail Sector, Such as Online Shopping and Other Uses of Technology, Could Affect the Business Models and Viability of Retailers”, “—The Performance of the Retail Properties is Subject to Conditions Affecting the Retail Sector” and “—Some Retail Properties Depend on Anchor Stores or Major Tenants to Attract Shoppers and Could be Materially Adversely Affected by the Loss of, or a Store Closure by, One or More of These Anchor Stores or Major Tenants” below.

 

Rental payments from tenants of retail properties typically comprise the largest portion of the net operating income of those mortgaged properties. The correlation between success of tenant business and a retail property’s value may be more direct with respect to retail properties than other types of commercial property because a component of the total rent paid by certain retail tenants is often tied to a percentage of gross sales. We cannot assure you that the net operating income contributed by the retail mortgaged properties or the rates of occupancy at the retail stores will remain at the levels specified in this prospectus or remain consistent with past performance.

 

Changes in the Retail Sector, Such as Online Shopping and Other Uses of Technology, Could Affect the Business Models and Viability of Retailers.

 

Online shopping and the use of technology, such as smartphone shopping applications, to transact purchases or to aid purchasing decisions have increased in recent years and are

 

 73

 

 

expected to continue to increase in the future. This trend is affecting business models, sales and profitability of some retailers and could adversely affect the demand for retail real estate and occupancy at retail properties securing the mortgage loans. Any resulting decreases in rental revenue could have a material adverse effect on the value of retail properties securing the mortgage loans.

 

Some of these developments in the retail sector have led to retail companies, including several national retailers, filing for bankruptcy and/or voluntarily closing certain of their stores. Borrowers may be unable to re-lease such space or to re-lease it on comparable or more favorable terms. As a result, the bankruptcy or closure of a national tenant may adversely affect a retail borrower’s revenues. In addition, such closings may allow other tenants to modify their leases to terms that are less favorable for borrowers or to terminate their leases, also adversely impacting their revenues. See also “—Some Retail Properties Depend on Anchor Stores or Major Tenants to Attract Shoppers and Could be Materially Adversely Affected by the Loss of, or a Store Closure by, One or More of These Anchor Stores or Major Tenants” below.

 

In addition to competition from online shopping, retail properties face competition from sources outside a specific geographical real estate market. For example, all of the following compete with more traditional retail properties for consumer dollars: factory outlet centers, discount shopping centers and clubs, catalogue retailers, home shopping networks, and telemarketing. Continued growth of these alternative retail outlets (which often have lower operating costs) could adversely affect the rents collectible at the retail properties included in the pool of mortgage loans, as well as the income from, and market value of, the mortgaged properties and the related borrower’s ability to refinance such property. Moreover, additional competing retail properties may be built in the areas where the retail properties are located.

 

We cannot assure you that these developments in the retail sector will not adversely affect the performance of retail properties securing the mortgage loans.

 

The Performance of the Retail Properties is Subject to Conditions Affecting the Retail Sector.

 

Retail properties are also subject to conditions that could negatively affect the retail sector, such as increased unemployment, increased federal income and payroll taxes, increased health care costs, increased state and local taxes, increased real estate taxes, industry slowdowns, lack of availability of consumer credit, weak income growth, increased levels of consumer debt, poor housing market conditions, adverse weather conditions, natural disasters, plant closings, and other factors. Similarly, local real estate conditions, such as an oversupply of, or a reduction in demand for, retail space or retail goods, and the supply and creditworthiness of current and prospective tenants may negatively impact those retail properties.

 

In addition, the limited adaptability of certain shopping malls that have proven unprofitable may result in high (and possibly extremely high) loss severities on mortgage loans secured by those shopping malls. For example, it is possible that a significant amount of advances made by the applicable servicer(s) of a mortgage loan secured by a shopping mall property, combined with low liquidation proceeds in respect of that property, may result in a loss severity exceeding 100% of the outstanding principal balance of that mortgage loan.

 

 74

 

 

Some Retail Properties Depend on Anchor Stores or Major Tenants to Attract Shoppers and Could be Materially Adversely Affected by the Loss of, or a Store Closure by, One or More of These Anchor Stores or Major Tenants.

 

The presence or absence of an “anchor tenant” or a “shadow anchor tenant” in or near a retail property also can be important to the performance of a retail property because anchors play a key role in generating customer traffic and making a retail property desirable for other tenants. Retail properties may also have shadow anchor tenants. An “anchor tenant” is located on the related mortgaged property, usually proportionately larger in size than most or all other tenants in the mortgaged property, and is vital in attracting customers to a retail property. A “shadow anchor tenant” is usually proportionally larger in size than most tenants in the mortgaged property, is important in attracting customers to a retail property and is located sufficiently close and convenient to the mortgaged property so as to influence and attract potential customers, but is not located on the mortgaged property.

 

If anchor stores in a mortgaged property were to close, the related borrower may be unable to replace those anchors in a timely manner or without suffering adverse economic consequences. In addition, anchor tenants and non-anchor tenants at anchored or shadow anchored retail centers may have co-tenancy clauses and/or operating covenants in their leases or operating agreements that permit those tenants or anchor stores to cease operating, reduce rent or terminate their leases if the anchor or shadow anchor tenant or another major tenant goes dark, if the mortgaged property does not meet certain minimum occupancy levels or if the subject store is not meeting the minimum sales requirement under its lease. Even if non-anchor tenants do not have termination or rent abatement rights, the loss of an anchor tenant or a shadow anchor tenant may have a material adverse impact on the non-anchor tenant’s ability to operate because the anchor or shadow anchor tenant plays a key role in generating customer traffic and making a center desirable for other tenants. This, in turn, may adversely impact the borrower’s ability to meet its obligations under the related mortgage loan. In addition, in the event that a “shadow anchor” fails to renew its lease, terminates its lease or otherwise ceases to conduct business within a close proximity to the mortgaged property, customer traffic at the mortgaged property may be substantially reduced. If an anchor tenant goes dark, generally the borrower’s only remedy may be to terminate that lease after the anchor tenant has been dark for a specified amount of time.

 

If anchor tenants or shadow anchor tenants at a particular mortgaged property were to close or otherwise become vacant or remain vacant, we cannot assure you that the related borrower’s ability to repay its mortgage loan would not be materially and adversely affected.

 

Certain anchor tenant and tenant estoppels will have been obtained in connection with the origination of the mortgage loans. These estoppels may identify disputes between the related borrower and the applicable anchor tenant or tenant, or alleged defaults or potential defaults by the applicable property owner under the lease or a reciprocal easement and/or operating agreement (each, an “REA”). Such disputes, defaults or potential defaults, could lead to a termination or attempted termination of the applicable lease or REA by the anchor tenant or tenant or to the tenant withholding some or all of its rental payments or to litigation against the related borrower. We cannot assure you that the anchor tenant or tenant estoppels obtained identify all potential disputes that may arise with respect to the retail mortgaged properties, or that anchor tenant or tenant disputes will not have a material adverse effect on the ability of borrowers to repay their mortgage loans.

Hotel Properties Have Special Risks

 

In addition to the factors discussed in “—Risks of Commercial and Multifamily Lending Generally” above, various other factors may adversely affect the financial performance and value of hotel properties, including:

 

adverse economic and social conditions, either local, regional or national (which may limit the amount that can be charged for a room and reduce occupancy levels);

 

continuing expenditures for modernizing, refurbishing and maintaining existing facilities prior to the expiration of their anticipated useful lives;

 

ability to convert to alternative uses which may not be readily made;

 

a deterioration in the financial strength or managerial capabilities of the owner or operator of a hotel property;

 

changes in travel patterns caused by general adverse economic conditions, fear of terrorist attacks, adverse weather conditions and changes in access, energy prices, strikes, travel costs, relocation of highways, the construction of additional highways, concerns about travel safety or other factors; and

 

relative illiquidity of hospitality investments which limits the ability of the borrowers and property managers to respond to changes in economic or other conditions.

 

Because hotel rooms are generally rented for short periods of time, the financial performance of hotel properties tends to be affected by adverse economic conditions and competition more quickly than other commercial properties. Additionally, as a result of high operating costs, relatively small decreases in revenue can cause significant stress on a property’s cash flow.

 

Moreover, the hospitality and lodging industry is generally seasonal in nature and different seasons affect different hotel properties differently depending on type and location. This seasonality can be expected to cause periodic fluctuations in a hotel property’s room and restaurant revenues, occupancy levels, room rates and operating expenses. We cannot assure you that cash flow will be sufficient to offset any shortfalls that occur at the mortgaged property during slower periods or that the related mortgage loans provide for seasonality reserves, or if seasonality reserves are provided for, that such reserves will be funded or will be sufficient or available to fund such shortfalls.

 

In addition, certain hotel properties are limited-service, select service or extended stay hotels. Hotel properties that are limited-service, select service or extended stay hotels may subject a lender to more risk than full-service hotel properties as they generally require less capital for construction than full-service hotel properties. In addition, as limited-service, select service or extended stay hotels generally offer fewer amenities than full-service hotel properties, they are less distinguishable from each other. As a result, it is easier for limited-service, select service or extended stay hotels to experience increased or unforeseen competition.

 

In addition to hotel operations, some hotel properties also operate entertainment complexes that include restaurants, lounges, nightclubs and/or banquet and meeting spaces and may derive a significant portion of the related property’s revenue from such operations. Consumer demand for entertainment resorts is particularly sensitive to downturns in the economy and the corresponding impact on discretionary spending on leisure activities.

 

 76

 

 

Changes in discretionary consumer spending or consumer preferences could be driven by factors such as perceived or actual general economic conditions, high energy, fuel and food costs, the increased cost of travel, the weakened job market, perceived or actual disposable consumer income and wealth, fears of recession and changes in consumer confidence in the economy, or fears of war and future acts of terrorism. These factors could reduce consumer demand for the leisure activities that the property offers, thus imposing practical limits on pricing and harming operations. Restaurants and nightclubs are particularly vulnerable to changes in consumer preferences. In addition, a nightclub’s, restaurant’s or bar’s revenue is extremely dependent on its popularity and perception. These characteristics are subject to change rapidly and we cannot assure you that any of a hotel property’s nightclubs, restaurants or bars will maintain their current level of popularity or perception in the market. Any such change could have a material adverse effect on the net cash flow of the property.

 

Some of the hotel properties have liquor licenses associated with the mortgaged property. The liquor licenses for these mortgaged properties are generally held by affiliates of the related borrowers, unaffiliated managers or operating lessees. The laws and regulations relating to liquor licenses generally prohibit the transfer of such licenses to any person, or condition such transfer on the prior approval of the governmental authority that issued the license. In the event of a foreclosure of a hotel property that holds a liquor license, the special servicer on behalf of the issuing entity or a purchaser in a foreclosure sale would likely have to apply for a new license, which might not be granted or might be granted only after a delay that could be significant. We cannot assure you that a new license could be obtained promptly or at all. The lack of a liquor license in a hotel property could have an adverse impact on the revenue from the related mortgaged property or on the hotel property’s occupancy rate.

 

In addition, hotel properties may be structured with a master lease (or operating lease) in order to minimize potential liabilities of the borrower. Under the master lease structure, an operating lessee (typically affiliated with the borrower) is also an obligor under the related mortgage loan and the operating lessee borrower pays rent to the fee owner borrower.

 

In addition, there may be risks associated with hotel properties that have not entered into or become a party to any franchise agreement, license agreement or other “flag”. Hotel properties often enter into these types of agreements in order to align the hotel property with a certain public perception or to benefit from a centralized reservation system. We cannot assure you that hotel properties that lack such benefits will be able to operate successfully on an independent basis.

 

See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Mortgage Pool Characteristics—Property Types—Hotel Properties”.

 

Risks Relating to Affiliation with a Franchise or Hotel Management Company

 

The performance of a hotel property affiliated with a franchise or hotel management company depends in part on:

 

the continued existence and financial strength of the franchisor or hotel management company;

 

the public perception of the franchise or hotel chain service mark; and

 

the duration of the franchise licensing or management agreements.

 

 77

 

 

The continuation of a franchise agreement, license agreement or management agreement is subject to specified operating standards and other terms and conditions set forth in such agreements. The failure of a borrower to maintain such standards or adhere to other applicable terms and conditions, such as property improvement plans, could result in the loss or cancellation of their rights under the franchise, license or hotel management agreement. We cannot assure you that a replacement franchise could be obtained in the event of termination or that such replacement franchise affiliation would be of equal quality to the terminated franchise affiliation. In addition, a replacement franchise, license and/or hotel property manager may require significantly higher fees as well as the investment of capital to bring the hotel property into compliance with the requirements of the replacement franchisor, licensor and/or hotel property manager. Any provision in a franchise agreement, license agreement or management agreement providing for termination because of a bankruptcy of a franchisor, licensor or manager generally will not be enforceable.

 

The transferability of franchise agreements, license agreements and property management agreements may be restricted. In the event of a foreclosure, the lender may not have the right to use the franchise license without the franchisor’s consent or the manager might be able to terminate the management agreement. Conversely, in the case of certain mortgage loans, the lender may be unable to remove a franchisor/licensor or a hotel management company that it desires to replace following a foreclosure and, further, may be limited as regards the pool of potential transferees for a foreclosure or real estate owned property.

 

In some cases where a hotel property is subject to a license or franchise agreement, the licensor or franchisor has required or may in the future require the completion of various repairs and/or renovations pursuant to a property improvement plan issued by the licensor or franchisor. Failure to complete those repairs and/or renovations in accordance with the plan could result in the hotel property losing its license or franchise. Annex A-1 and the related footnotes set forth the amount of reserves, if any, established under the related mortgage loans in connection with any of those repairs and/or renovations. We cannot assure you that any amounts reserved will be sufficient to complete the repairs and/or renovations required with respect to any affected hotel property. In addition, in some cases, those reserves will be maintained by the franchisor or property manager. Furthermore, the lender may not require a reserve for repairs and/or renovations in all instances.

 

See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Mortgage Pool Characteristics—Property Types—Hotel Properties”.

 

Industrial Properties Have Special Risks

 

In addition to the factors discussed in “—Risks of Commercial and Multifamily Lending Generally” and “—Performance of the Mortgage Loans Will Be Highly Dependent on the Performance of Tenants and Tenant Leases” above, other factors may adversely affect the financial performance and value of industrial properties, including:

 

reduced demand for industrial space because of a decline in a particular industry segment;

 

the property becoming functionally obsolete;

 

building design and adaptability;

 

unavailability of labor sources;

 

 78

 

 

changes in access, energy prices, strikes, relocation of highways, the construction of additional highways or other factors;

 

changes in proximity of supply sources;

 

the expenses of converting a previously adapted space to general use; and

 

the location of the property.

 

Industrial properties may be adversely affected by reduced demand for industrial space occasioned by a decline in a particular industry segment in which the related tenants conduct their businesses (for example, a decline in consumer demand for products sold by a tenant using the property as a distribution center). In addition, a particular industrial or warehouse property that suited the needs of its original tenant may be difficult to relet to another tenant or may become functionally obsolete relative to newer properties. Furthermore, lease terms with respect to industrial properties are generally for shorter periods of time and may result in a substantial percentage of leases expiring in the same year at any particular industrial property. In addition, mortgaged properties used for many industrial purposes are more prone to environmental concerns than other property types.

 

Aspects of building site design and adaptability affect the value of an industrial property. Site characteristics that are generally desirable to a warehouse/industrial property include high clear ceiling heights, wide column spacing, a large number of bays (loading docks) and large bay depths, divisibility, a layout that can accommodate large truck minimum turning radii and overall functionality and accessibility.

 

In addition, because of unique construction requirements of many industrial properties, any vacant industrial property space may not be easily converted to other uses. Thus, if the operation of any of the industrial properties becomes unprofitable due to competition, age of the improvements or other factors such that the borrower becomes unable to meet its obligations on the related mortgage loan, the liquidation value of that industrial property may be substantially less, relative to the amount owing on the related mortgage loan, than would be the case if the industrial property were readily adaptable to other uses.

 

Location is also important because an industrial property requires the availability of labor sources, proximity to supply sources and customers and accessibility to rail lines, major roadways and other distribution channels.

 

See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Mortgage Pool Characteristics—Property Types—Industrial Properties”.

 

Multifamily Properties Have Special Risks

 

In addition to the factors discussed in “—Risks of Commercial and Multifamily Lending Generally” and “—Performance of the Mortgage Loans Will Be Highly Dependent on the Performance of Tenants and Tenant Leases” above, other factors may adversely affect the financial performance and value of multifamily properties, including:

 

the quality of property management;

 

the ability of management to provide adequate maintenance and insurance;

 

the types of services or amenities that the property provides;

 

the property’s reputation;

 

 79

 

 

the level of mortgage interest rates, which may encourage tenants to purchase rather than lease housing;

 

the generally short terms of residential leases and the need for continued reletting;

 

rent concessions and month-to-month leases, which may impact cash flow at the property;

 

the tenant mix, such as the tenant population being predominantly students or being heavily dependent on workers from a particular business or industry or personnel from or workers related to a local military base or oil and/or gas drilling industries;

 

in the case of student housing facilities or properties leased primarily to students, which may be more susceptible to damage or wear and tear than other types of multifamily housing, the reliance on the financial well-being of the college or university to which it relates, competition from on campus housing units and new competitive student housing properties, which may adversely affect occupancy, the physical layout of the housing, which may not be readily convertible to traditional multifamily use, rental payments that may depend on financial aid, and that student tenants have a higher turnover rate than other types of multifamily tenants, which in certain cases is compounded by the fact that student leases are available for periods of less than 12 months;

 

certain multifamily properties may be considered to be “flexible apartment properties”. Such properties have a significant percentage of units leased to tenants under short-term leases (less than one year in term), which creates a higher turnover rate than for other types of multifamily properties;

 

restrictions on the age or income of tenants who may reside at the property;

 

dependence upon governmental programs that provide rent subsidies to tenants pursuant to tenant voucher programs, which vouchers may be used at other properties and influence tenant mobility;

 

adverse local, regional or national economic conditions, which may limit the amount of rent that may be charged and may result in a reduction of timely rent payments or a reduction in occupancy levels;

 

state and local regulations, which may affect the building owner’s ability to increase rent to market rent for an equivalent apartment; and

 

the existence of government assistance/rent subsidy programs, and whether or not they continue and provide the same level of assistance or subsidies.

 

Certain states regulate the relationship between an owner and its tenants. Commonly, these laws require a written lease, good cause for eviction, disclosure of fees, and notification to residents of changed land use, while prohibiting unreasonable rules, retaliatory evictions, and restrictions on a resident’s choice of unit vendors. Apartment building owners have been the subject of suits under state “Unfair and Deceptive Practices Acts” and other general consumer protection statutes for coercive, abusive or unconscionable leasing and sales practices. A few states offer more significant protection. For example, in some states, there are provisions that limit the bases on which a landlord may terminate a tenancy or increase a tenant’s rent or prohibit a landlord from terminating a tenancy solely by reason of the sale of the owner’s building.

 

 80

 

 

In addition to state regulation of the landlord tenant relationship, numerous counties and municipalities impose rent control on apartment buildings. These ordinances may limit rent increases to fixed percentages, to percentages of increases in the consumer price index, to increases set or approved by a governmental agency, or to increases determined through mediation or binding arbitration. Any limitations on a borrower’s ability to raise property rents may impair such borrower’s ability to repay its multifamily loan from its net operating income or the proceeds of a sale or refinancing of the related multifamily property.

 

Certain of the mortgage loans may be secured in the future by mortgaged properties that are subject to certain affordable housing covenants and other covenants and restrictions with respect to various tax credit, city, state and federal housing subsidies, rent stabilization or similar programs, in respect of various units within the mortgaged properties. The limitations and restrictions imposed by these programs could result in losses on the mortgage loans. In addition, in the event that the program is cancelled, it could result in less income for the project. These programs may include, among others:

 

rent limitations that would adversely affect the ability of borrowers to increase rents to maintain the condition of their mortgaged properties and satisfy operating expenses; and

 

tenant income restrictions that may reduce the number of eligible tenants in those mortgaged properties and result in a reduction in occupancy rates.

 

The difference in rents between subsidized or supported properties and other multifamily rental properties in the same area may not be a sufficient economic incentive for some eligible tenants to reside at a subsidized or supported property that may have fewer amenities or be less attractive as a residence. As a result, occupancy levels at a subsidized or supported property may decline, which may adversely affect the value and successful operation of such property.

 

Moreover, ongoing litigation concerning the status of rent stabilized properties may adversely affect a borrower’s ability to convert rent stabilized units to market rent units in the future. For example, the New York State Appellate Division, in Altman v. 285 West Fourth (1st Dept., 2015) held that in order to effectuate vacancy luxury deregulation, the legal rent had to be above the statutory deregulation threshold at the time the outgoing tenant vacated and the fact that the legal rent was above the statutory threshold at the time the incoming tenant moved in was not relevant. The Altman case is currently on appeal and scheduled to be heard by the New York Court of Appeals. The mortgage loan secured by the portfolio of mortgaged properties identified on Annex A-1 as Yorkshire & Lexington Towers includes both rent stabilized units and market rent units. If the New York Court of Appeals were to uphold the Altman decision, no assurances can be made as to the impact on the existing market rent units at the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers mortgaged properties or the ability of the rent stabilized units at the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers mortgaged properties to convert to market rent units in the future.

 

See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Mortgage Pool Characteristics—Property Types—Multifamily Properties”.

 

Mixed Use Properties Have Special Risks

 

Certain properties are mixed use properties. Such mortgaged properties are subject to the risks relating to the property types described in, “—Office Properties Have Special Risks”, “—Retail Properties Have Special Risks” and “—Multifamily Properties Have Special

 

 81

 

 

Risks”. See Annex A-1 for the 5 largest tenants (by net rentable area leased) at each mixed use property. A mixed use property may be subject to additional risks, including the property manager’s inexperience in managing the different property types that comprise such mixed use property.

 

See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Mortgage Pool Characteristics—Property Types—Mixed Use Properties”.

 

Self Storage Properties Have Special Risks

 

In addition to the factors discussed in “—Risks of Commercial and Multifamily Lending Generally” above, other factors may adversely affect the financial performance and value of self storage properties, including:

 

decreased demand;

 

lack of proximity to apartment complexes or commercial users;

 

apartment tenants moving to single family homes;

 

decline in services rendered, including security;

 

dependence on business activity ancillary to renting units;

 

security concerns;

 

age of improvements; or

 

competition or other factors.

 

Self storage properties are considered vulnerable to competition, because both acquisition costs and break-even occupancy are relatively low. The conversion of self storage facilities to alternative uses would generally require substantial capital expenditures. Thus, if the operation of any of the self storage properties becomes unprofitable, the liquidation value of that self storage mortgaged property may be substantially less, relative to the amount owing on the mortgage loan, than if the self storage mortgaged property were readily adaptable to other uses. In addition, storage units are typically engaged for shorter time frames than traditional commercial leases for office or retail space.

 

Tenants at self storage properties tend to require and receive privacy, anonymity and efficient access, each of which may heighten environmental and other risks related to such property as the borrower may be unaware of the contents in any self storage unit. No environmental assessment of a self storage mortgaged property included an inspection of the contents of the self storage units at that mortgaged property, and there is no assurance that all of the units included in the self storage mortgaged properties are free from hazardous substances or other pollutants or contaminants or will remain so in the future.

 

Certain mortgage loans secured by self storage properties may be affiliated with a franchise company through a franchise agreement. The performance of a self storage property affiliated with a franchise company may be affected by the continued existence and financial strength of the franchisor, the public perception of a service mark, and the duration of the franchise agreement. The transferability of franchise license agreements is restricted. In the event of a foreclosure, the lender or its agent would not have the right to use the franchise license without the franchisor’s consent. In addition, certain self storage properties may derive a material portion of revenue from business activities ancillary to self

 

 82

 

 

storage such as truck rentals, parking fees and similar activities which require special use permits or other discretionary zoning approvals and/or from leasing a portion of the subject property for office or retail purposes. See Annex A-1 and the footnotes related thereto.

 

See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Mortgage Pool Characteristics—Property Types—Self Storage Properties”.

 

Condominium Ownership May Limit Use and Improvements

 

The management and operation of a condominium is generally controlled by a condominium board representing the owners of the individual condominium units, subject to the terms of the related condominium rules or by-laws. Generally, the consent of a majority of the board members is required for any actions of the condominium board and a unit owner’s ability to control decisions of the board are generally related to the number of units owned by such owner as a percentage of the total number of units in the condominium. In certain cases, the related borrower does not have a majority of votes on the condominium board, which result in the related borrower not having control of the related condominium or owners association.

 

The board of managers or directors of the related condominium generally has discretion to make decisions affecting the condominium, and we cannot assure you that the related borrower under a mortgage loan secured by one or more interests in that condominium will have any control over decisions made by the related board of managers or directors. Even if a borrower or its designated board members, either through control of the appointment and voting of sufficient members of the related condominium board or by virtue of other provisions in the related condominium documents, has consent rights over actions by the related condominium associations or owners, we cannot assure you that the related condominium board will not take actions that would materially adversely affect the related borrower’s unit. Thus, decisions made by that board of managers or directors, including regarding assessments to be paid by the unit owners, insurance to be maintained on the condominium and many other decisions affecting the maintenance of that condominium, may have a significant adverse impact on the related mortgage loans in the issuing entity that are secured by mortgaged properties consisting of such condominium interests. We cannot assure you that the related board of managers or directors will always act in the best interests of the related borrower under the related mortgage loans.

 

The condominium board is generally responsible for administration of the affairs of the condominium, including providing for maintenance and repair of common areas, adopting rules and regulations regarding common areas, and obtaining insurance and repairing and restoring the common areas of the property after a casualty. Notwithstanding the insurance and casualty provisions of the related mortgage loan documents, the condominium board may have the right to control the use of casualty proceeds.

 

In addition, the condominium board generally has the right to assess individual unit owners for their share of expenses related to the operation and maintenance of the common elements. In the event that an owner of another unit fails to pay its allocated assessments, the related borrower may be required to pay such assessments in order to properly maintain and operate the common elements of the property. Although the condominium board generally may obtain a lien against any unit owner for common expenses that are not paid, such lien generally is extinguished if a lender takes possession pursuant to a foreclosure. Each unit owner is responsible for maintenance of its respective unit and retains essential operational control over its unit.

 

 83

 

 

In addition, due to the nature of condominiums, a default on the part of the borrower with respect to such mortgaged properties will not allow the special servicer the same flexibility in realizing on the collateral as is generally available with respect to commercial properties that are not condominium units. The rights of other unit or property owners, the documents governing the management of the condominium units and the state and local laws applicable to condominium units must be considered. In addition, in the event of a casualty with respect to a condominium, due to the possible existence of multiple loss payees on any insurance policy covering such property, there could be a delay in the allocation of related insurance proceeds, if any. Consequently, servicing and realizing upon the collateral described above could subject the certificateholders to a greater delay, expense and risk than with respect to a mortgage loan secured by a commercial property that is not a condominium unit.

 

Certain condominium declarations and/or local laws provide for the withdrawal of a property from a condominium structure under certain circumstances. For example, the New York Condominium Act provides for a withdrawal of the property from a condominium structure by vote of 80% of unit owners. If the condominium is terminated, the building will be subject to an action for partition by any unit owner or lienor as if owned in common. This could cause an early and unanticipated prepayment of the mortgage loan. We cannot assure you that the proceeds from partition would be sufficient to satisfy borrower’s obligations under the mortgage loan. See also “—Risks Related to Zoning Non-Compliance and Use Restrictions” for certain risks relating to use restrictions imposed pursuant to condominium declarations or other condominium especially in a situation where the mortgaged property does not represent the entire condominium building.

 

A condominium regime can also be established with respect to land, as an alternative to land subdivision in those jurisdictions where it is so permitted. In such circumstances, the condominium board’s responsibilities are typically limited to matters such as landscaping and maintenance of common areas, including private roadways, while individual unit owners have responsibility for the buildings constructed on their respective land units. Likewise, in land condominium regimes, individual unit owners would typically have responsibility for property insurance, although the condominium board might maintain liability insurance for the common areas. Accordingly, while some attributes of a building condominium form are shared by a land condominium, the latter would have a more limited scope of board responsibilities and shared costs.

 

See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Mortgage Pool Characteristics—Condominium Interests”.

 

Operation of a Mortgaged Property Depends on the Property Manager’s Performance

 

The successful operation of a real estate project depends upon the property manager’s performance and viability. The property manager is responsible for:

 

responding to changes in the local market;

 

planning and implementing the rental structure;

 

operating the property and providing building services;

 

managing operating expenses; and

 

 84

 

 

assuring that maintenance and capital improvements are carried out in a timely fashion.

 

Properties deriving revenues primarily from short term sources, such as hotel guests or short term or month to month leases, are generally more management intensive than properties leased to creditworthy tenants under long term leases.

 

Certain of the mortgaged properties will be managed by affiliates of the related borrower. If a mortgage loan is in default or undergoing special servicing, such relationship could disrupt the management of the related mortgaged property, which may adversely affect cash flow. However, the related mortgage loans will generally permit, in the case of mortgaged properties managed by borrower affiliates, the lender to remove the related property manager upon the occurrence of an event of default under the related mortgage loan beyond applicable cure periods (or, in some cases, in the event of a foreclosure following such default), and in some cases a decline in cash flow below a specified level or the failure to satisfy some other specified performance trigger.

 

Concentrations Based on Property Type, Geography, Related Borrowers and Other Factors May Disproportionately Increase Losses

 

The effect of mortgage pool loan losses will be more severe if the losses relate to mortgage loans that account for a disproportionately large percentage of the pool’s aggregate principal balance. As mortgage loans pay down or properties are released, the remaining certificateholders may face a higher risk with respect to the diversity of property types and property characteristics and with respect to the number of borrowers.

 

See the tables titled “Remaining Term to Maturity/ARD in Months” in Annex A-2 for a stratification of the remaining terms to maturity of the mortgage loans. Because principal on the certificates is payable in sequential order of payment priority, and a class receives principal only after the preceding class(es) have been paid in full, classes that have a lower sequential priority are more likely to face these types of risks of concentration than classes with a higher sequential priority.

 

Several of the mortgage loans have cut-off date balances that are substantially higher than the average cut-off date balance. In general, concentrations in mortgage loans with larger-than-average balances can result in losses that are more severe, relative to the size of the mortgage loan pool, than would be the case if the aggregate balance of the mortgage loan pool were more evenly distributed.

 

A concentration of mortgage loans secured by the same mortgaged property types can increase the risk that a decline in a particular industry or business would have a disproportionately large impact on the pool of mortgage loans. Mortgaged property types representing more than 5.0% of the aggregate principal balance of the pool of mortgage loans as of the cut-off date (based on allocated loan amount) are office, retail, hospitality, industrial and multifamily. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Mortgage Pool Characteristics—Property Types” for information on the types of mortgaged properties securing the mortgage loans in the mortgage pool.

 

Repayments by borrowers and the market value of the related mortgaged properties could be affected by economic conditions generally or specific to particular geographic areas or regions of the United States, and concentrations of mortgaged properties in particular geographic areas may increase the risk that conditions in the real estate market where the mortgaged property is located, or other adverse economic or other developments or natural disasters (e.g., earthquakes, floods, forest fires, tornadoes or hurricanes or changes in

 

 85

 

 

governmental rules or fiscal policies) affecting a particular region of the country, could increase the frequency and severity of losses on mortgage loans secured by those mortgaged properties.

 

Mortgaged properties securing 5.0% or more of the aggregate principal balance of the pool of mortgage loans as of the cut-off date (based on allocated loan amount) are located in New York, California, Texas, New Jersey and Washington. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Mortgage Pool Characteristics—Geographic Concentrations”.

 

Some of the mortgaged properties are located in areas that, based on low population density, poor economic demographics (such as higher than average unemployment rates, lower than average annual household income and/or overall loss of jobs) and/or negative trends in such regards, would be considered secondary or tertiary markets.

 

A concentration of mortgage loans with the same borrower or related borrowers also can pose increased risks, such as:

 

if a borrower that owns or controls several properties (whether or not all of them secure mortgage loans in the mortgage pool) experiences financial difficulty at one such property, it could defer maintenance at a mortgaged property or debt service payments on the related mortgage loan in order to satisfy current expenses with respect to the first property or, alternatively, it could direct leasing activity in ways that are adverse to a mortgaged property;

 

a borrower could also attempt to avert foreclosure by filing a bankruptcy petition that might have the effect of interrupting debt service payments on the mortgage loans in the mortgage pool secured by that borrower’s mortgaged properties (subject to the master servicer’s and the trustee’s obligation to make advances for monthly payments) for an indefinite period; and

 

mortgaged properties owned by the same borrower or related borrowers are likely to have common management, common general partners and/or common managing members, thereby increasing the risk that financial or other difficulties experienced by such related parties could have a greater impact on the pool of mortgage loans. See “—A Bankruptcy Proceeding May Result in Losses and Delays in Realizing on the Mortgage Loans” below.

 

See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Mortgage Pool Characteristics” for information on the composition of the mortgage pool by property type and geographic distribution and loan concentration.

 

Risks Related to Mortgage Loans Secured by Mortgaged Properties Located in the Cayman Islands

 

The mortgage loan identified on Annex A-1 as Marriott Grand Cayman, representing approximately 2.8% of the aggregate principal balance of the pool of mortgage loans as of the cut-off date, is secured by a mortgaged property that is located in the Cayman Islands. Such mortgaged property is subject to the risks described below:

 

Sovereign Risk

 

A foreign state has the ability to influence a transaction in many ways, including the imposition of exchange controls that limit the export of local or foreign currency, declaration of a moratorium on payments of external debt, diversion of debt service payments or expropriation of property. In addition, there is the risk that a country’s existing social

 

 86

 

 

structure will be subject to violent upheaval or other crisis. Because the mortgaged property is in the Cayman Islands (a British Overseas Territory) the mortgage loan is subject to these risks, collectively known as “sovereign risk”.

 

Risks Relating to the Location of the Mortgaged Property

 

The Marriott Grand Cayman mortgaged property is located in the Cayman Islands, which is in the so-called “hurricane belt” in the Caribbean Sea. The mortgaged property incurred significant damage as a result of Hurricane Ivan in 2004 and since then has incurred minor damage from subsequent hurricanes and tropical storms. In addition, erosion caused by storms and other environmental factors has reduced the beach area in front of the property from time to time. Permanent beach erosion, if not mitigated by restoration efforts, may result in increased damage to the mortgaged property from future hurricanes and tropical storms, a decrease in property value and a loss of tourist and convention business. Damage caused by tropical storms, hurricanes and other environmental factors to the mortgaged property and surrounding environment, specifically, or to the Cayman Islands, generally, can be expected to negatively impact the desirability of the mortgaged property as a tourist or convention destination, which can be expected to have a material adverse effect on occupancy rate and the income generated by the mortgaged property.

Risks Relating to Licensure Requirements

 

The right of the related borrower to operate the mortgaged property is subject to the related borrower having current Local Companies (Control) Law licenses (collectively, the “Local Companies (Control) Law License”), current Trade and Business licenses (collectively, the “Trade & Business License”) and a License to Operate a Tourist Accommodation (a “Tourism Law License”) from the applicable licensing boards of the Cayman Islands Government. The related borrower was approved for each of the foregoing licenses and a legal opinion was delivered on the origination date confirming that the related borrower has all licenses required under the Trade and Business Licensing Law (2007 Revision) and the Local Companies Control Law (2007 Revision) necessary to carry on its business in the Cayman Islands. The Local Companies (Control) Law License for the related borrower to own and operate the hotel, businesses and assets related thereto was expected to be, and has been, issued for a term of 12 years and is set to expire on November 24, 2027. The Trade and Business Licensing Board of the Cayman Islands, under the Local Companies Control Law (2007 Revision) may, at any time, revoke a Local Companies (Control) Law License: (a) for a contravention of any condition subject to which the license is granted; (b) if in the opinion of the applicable licensing board, the company concerned is carrying on business in a manner detrimental to the public interest; (c) if the company concerned ceases to carry on business in the Cayman Islands; (d) if the company concerned goes into liquidation or is wound up or otherwise dissolved; (e) if the company concerned fails to comply with any directive or requirement issued by the applicable licensing board; or (f) if the company concerned fails to pay the fee prescribed (currently an annual fee of CI$2,500). Each of the Trade & Business License and the Tourism Law License is expected to be issued for a term of one (1) year and each must be renewed annually. In the event that the related borrower is unable to maintain its Local Companies (Control) Law License and/or its Trade & Business License with respect to the mortgaged property, it would be required to terminate operations and/or attempt to sell the mortgaged property to (x) a local Cayman Islands company (which is a company at least 60% owned and controlled by Caymanians), which company would not be required under Cayman Islands law to obtain a Local Companies (Control) Law License to operate the mortgaged property but would be required to obtain a Trade & Business License or (y) a non-Caymanian controlled Cayman

 

 87

 

 

Islands company that has obtained an effective Local Companies (Control) Law License and an effective Trade & Business License.

 

In addition, the related borrower obtained a liquor license and a music and dance license, each of which must be renewed annually and is at the discretion of the Cayman Islands Liquor Licensing Board and the Music and Dancing (Control) Law, respectively. The related borrower has represented in the mortgage loan documents that all licenses required in connection with the use, occupancy and operation of the mortgaged property have been obtained and are in full force and effect.

 

Under Cayman Islands law, to operate a hotel resort and related businesses, various licenses must be held by appropriate persons and such licenses have specific disclosure, filing and payment of fee requirements and must be renewed from time to time. No assurances can be provided that the related borrower and/or other appropriate persons will be able to obtain a renewal of any of the above-mentioned licenses. Furthermore, in the event of an exercise of a power of sale or other enforcement of a lender’s rights, the purchaser would be required to apply in its own right for the corresponding replacement licenses. There can be no assurances that any of the foregoing licenses could be obtained.

 

In order to keep a Cayman Islands company, such as the related borrower, in good standing with the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands, it must file an annual return with the Registrar of Companies and must pay annual filing fees to the Registrar of Companies. The Registrar of Companies will generally strike a Cayman Islands company from the Register of Companies after a period of 18 months if such company does not pay its annual fees (which are due in January of each year). Once a Cayman Islands company has been struck from the Register of Companies, then any property vested or belonging to such Cayman Islands company will vest in the Minister charged with responsibility for Financial Services and will be subject to disposition by the Governor in Cabinet or to retention for the benefit of the Cayman Islands pursuant to s.162 of the Companies Law (2016 Revision), subject, in either case, to a legal charge securing a mortgage loan related to such Cayman Islands company. Pursuant to s.159 of the Companies Law (2016 Revision), a company or any member or creditor thereof may apply (within two years, or such longer period as the Governor in Cabinet may allow, but not exceeding 10 years of being struck from the Register of Companies) to the courts of the Cayman Islands to have the company restored to the register upon payment of a re-instatement fee. The courts of the Cayman Islands have discretion as to whether or not to restore the company to the Register of Companies.

Risks Related to Exchange of Cayman Islands Currency

 

A certain portion of the income of the related borrower under the Marriott Grand Cayman mortgage loan is received in the official currency of the Cayman Islands, the Cayman Island Dollar. The related mortgage loan, however, is denominated in U.S. Dollars and the related borrower is required to make debt service payments on the mortgage loan in U.S. Dollars. Since 1974, the Cayman Island government has maintained a fixed exchange rate (“Peg”) to the U.S. Dollar, which currently is approximately 1 Cayman Island Dollar to 1.22 U.S. Dollars. There can be no assurance, however, that the currency Peg will be maintained at the same rate at all times while the mortgage loan remains outstanding. To the extent that the current currency Peg is not maintained, and the Cayman Island Dollar is devalued vis-à-vis the U.S. Dollar, more Cayman Island Dollars would be required to maintain the related borrower’s debt service coverage on the U.S. Dollar denominated mortgage loan. If the related borrower cannot or will not increase the prices of its good and

 

 88

 

 

services in Cayman Island Dollars after such a devaluation, upon conversion of Cayman Island Dollars to U.S. Dollars for purposes of servicing the debt on the mortgage loan, less U.S. Dollars will be available to make payments on the related mortgage loan.

 

Risks Related to Exercise of Remedies Against the Mortgaged Property

 

To the extent that in connection with an exercise of its remedies under the related mortgage loan the trustee decides (in its capacity as chargee pursuant to the powers afforded to it under Cayman Islands law) to sell all or any portion of the mortgaged property, any disposition of the mortgaged property by the trustee will be subject to a stamp duty by the buyer equal to 7.5% of the greater of the purchase price and the market value of the mortgaged property so transferred, which, although the payment of stamp duty is normally the obligation of a purchaser, may have the effect of reducing the purchase price realized from the sale of the mortgaged property and the proceeds available to the issuing entity from such disposition.

 

A description of the process by which a lender may exercise its remedies against a borrower and mortgaged property in the Cayman Islands can be found in “Certain Legal Aspects of Mortgage Loans”.

 

Risks Related to Withholding or Other Taxes

 

The mortgage loan seller of the Marriott Grand Cayman mortgage loan has been advised that Cayman Islands law would not impose income or withholding tax on interest received on the mortgage loan by the issuing entity; however, no assurance can be given that the law will not change in the future. If an income or withholding tax were imposed on the mortgage loan, although the mortgage loan documents require the related borrower to pay such amounts, there can be no assurance that the related borrower will be able to pay such additional amounts. Moreover, none of the depositor, the mortgage loan seller or the issuing entity are obligated to “gross up” certificateholders for any such taxes. Accordingly, failure to pay such amounts by the related borrower would therefore result in a shortfall to affected certificateholders.

 

Adverse Environmental Conditions at or Near Mortgaged Properties May Result in Losses

 

The issuing entity could become liable for a material adverse environmental condition at an underlying mortgaged property. Any such potential liability could reduce or delay payments on the offered certificates.

 

Each of the mortgaged properties was either (i) subject to environmental site assessments prior to the time of origination of the related mortgage loan (or, in certain limited cases, after origination) including Phase I environmental site assessments or updates of previously performed Phase I environmental site assessments, or (ii) subject to a secured creditor environmental insurance policy or other environmental insurance policy. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Environmental Considerations”.

 

We cannot assure you that the environmental assessments revealed all existing or potential environmental risks or that all adverse environmental conditions have been or will be completely abated or remediated or that any reserves, insurance or operations and maintenance plans will be sufficient to remediate the environmental conditions. Moreover, we cannot assure you that:

 

 89

 

 

future laws, ordinances or regulations will not impose any material environmental liability; or

 

the current environmental condition of the mortgaged properties will not be adversely affected by tenants or by the condition of land or operations in the vicinity of the mortgaged properties (such as underground storage tanks).

 

We cannot assure you that with respect to any mortgaged property any remediation plan or any projected remedial costs or time is accurate or sufficient to complete the remediation objectives, or that no additional contamination requiring environmental investigation or remediation will be discovered on any mortgaged property. Likewise, all environmental policies naming the lender as named insured cover certain risks or events specifically identified in the policy, but the coverage is limited by its terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions, and does not purport to cover all environmental conditions whatsoever affecting the applicable mortgaged property, and we cannot assure you that any environmental conditions currently known, suspected, or unknown and discovered in the future will be covered by the terms of the policy.

 

Before the trustee or the special servicer, as applicable, acquires title to a mortgaged property on behalf of the issuing entity or assumes operation of the property, it will be required to obtain an environmental assessment of such mortgaged property, or rely on a recent environmental assessment. This requirement is intended to mitigate the risk that the issuing entity will become liable under any environmental law. There is accordingly some risk that the mortgaged property will decline in value while this assessment is being obtained or remedial action is being taken. Moreover, we cannot assure you that this requirement will effectively insulate the issuing entity from potential liability under environmental laws. Any such potential liability could reduce or delay distributions to certificateholders.

 

See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Environmental Considerations” for additional information on environmental conditions at mortgaged properties securing certain mortgage loans in the issuing entity. See also representation and warranty no. 40 on Annex D-1.

Risks Related to Redevelopment, Expansion and Renovation at Mortgaged Properties

 

Certain of the mortgaged properties are currently undergoing or, in the future, are expected to undergo redevelopment, expansion or renovation. In addition, the related borrower may be permitted under the related mortgage loan documents, at its option and cost but subject to certain conditions, to undertake future construction, renovation or alterations of the mortgaged property. To the extent applicable, we cannot assure you that any escrow or reserve collected, if any, will be sufficient to complete the current renovation or be otherwise sufficient to satisfy any tenant improvement expenses at a mortgaged property. Failure to complete those planned improvements may have a material adverse

 

 90

 

 

effect on the cash flow at the mortgaged property and the related borrower’s ability to meet its payment obligations under the mortgage loan documents.

 

Certain of the hotel properties securing the mortgage loans are currently undergoing or are scheduled to undergo renovations or property improvement plans. In some circumstances, these renovations or property improvement plans may necessitate taking a portion of the available guest rooms temporarily offline, temporarily decreasing the number of available rooms and the revenue generating capacity of the related hotel property. In other cases, these renovations may involve renovations of common spaces or external features of the related hotel property, which may cause disruptions or otherwise decrease the attractiveness of the related hotel property to potential guests. These property improvement plans may be required under the related franchise or management agreement and a failure to timely complete them may result in a termination or expiration of a franchise or management agreement and may be an event of default under the related mortgage loan.

 

Certain of the properties securing the mortgage loans may currently be undergoing or are scheduled to undergo renovations or property expansions. Such renovations or expansions may be required under tenant leases and a failure to timely complete such renovations or expansions may result in a termination of such lease and may have a material adverse effect on the cash flow at the mortgaged property and the related borrower’s ability to meet its payment obligations under the mortgage loan documents.

 

We cannot assure you that current or planned redevelopment, expansion or renovation will be completed at all, that such redevelopment, expansion or renovation will be completed in the time frame contemplated, or that, when and if such redevelopment, expansion or renovation is completed, such redevelopment, expansion or renovation will improve the operations at, or increase the value of, the related mortgaged property. Failure of any of the foregoing to occur could have a material negative impact on the related mortgaged property, which could affect the ability of the related borrower to repay the related mortgage loan.

 

In the event the related borrower fails to pay the costs for work completed or material delivered in connection with such ongoing redevelopment, expansion or renovation, the portion of the mortgaged property on which there are renovations may be subject to mechanic’s or materialmen’s liens that may be senior to the lien of the related mortgage loan.

 

The existence of construction or renovation at a mortgaged property may take rental units or rooms or leasable space “off-line” or otherwise make space unavailable for rental, impair access or traffic at or near the mortgaged property, or, in general, make that mortgaged property less attractive to tenants or their customers, and accordingly could have a negative effect on net operating income. In addition, any such construction or renovation at a mortgaged property may temporarily interfere with the use and operation of any portion of such mortgaged property. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Redevelopment, Renovation and Expansion” for information regarding mortgaged properties which are currently undergoing or, in the future, are expected to undergo redevelopment, expansion or renovation. See also Annex A-3 for additional information on redevelopment, renovation and expansion at the mortgaged properties securing the 15 largest mortgage loans.

 

 91

 

 

Some Mortgaged Properties May Not Be Readily Convertible to Alternative Uses

 

Certain mortgaged properties securing the mortgage loans may have specialty use tenants and may not be readily convertible (or convertible at all) to alternative uses if those properties were to become unprofitable for any reason.

 

For example, retail, mixed use or office properties may have theater tenants. Properties with theater tenants are exposed to certain unique risks. Aspects of building site design and adaptability affect the value of a theater. In addition, decreasing attendance at a theater could adversely affect revenue of the theater, which may, in turn, cause the tenant to experience financial difficulties, resulting in downgrades in their credit ratings and, in certain cases, bankruptcy filings. In addition, because of unique construction requirements of theaters, any vacant theater space would not easily be converted to other uses.

 

Retail, mixed use or office properties may also have health clubs as tenants. Several factors may adversely affect the value and successful operation of a health club, including:

 

the physical attributes of the health club (e.g., its age, appearance and layout);

 

the reputation, safety, convenience and attractiveness of the property to users;

 

management’s ability to control membership growth and attrition;

 

competition in the tenant’s marketplace from other health clubs and alternatives to health clubs; and

 

adverse changes in economic and social conditions and demographic changes (e.g., population decreases or changes in average age or income), which may result in decreased demand.

 

In addition, there may be significant costs associated with changing consumer preferences (e.g., multipurpose clubs from single-purpose clubs or varieties of equipment, classes, services and amenities). In addition, health clubs may not be readily convertible to alternative uses if those properties were to become unprofitable for any reason. The liquidation value of any such health club consequently may be less than would be the case if the property were readily adaptable to changing consumer preferences for other uses.

 

Certain retail, mixed use or office properties may be partially comprised of a parking garage, or certain properties may be entirely comprised of a parking garage. Parking garages and parking lots present risks not associated with other properties. The primary source of income for parking lots and garages is the rental fees charged for parking spaces.

 

Factors affecting the success of a parking lot or garage include:

 

the number of rentable parking spaces and rates charged;

 

the location of the lot or garage and, in particular, its proximity to places where large numbers of people work, shop or live;

 

the amount of alternative parking spaces in the area;

 

the availability of mass transit; and

 

the perceptions of the safety, convenience and services of the lot or garage.

 

 92

 

 

In instances where a parking garage does not have a long-term leasing arrangement with a parking lessee, but rather relies on individual short-term (i.e., daily or weekly) parking tenants for parking revenues, variations in any or all of the foregoing factors can result in increased volatility in the net operating income for such parking garage.

 

Aspects of building site design and adaptability affect the value of a parking garage facility. Site characteristics that are valuable to a parking garage facility include location, clear ceiling heights, column spacing, zoning restrictions, number of spaces and overall functionality and accessibility.

 

In addition, because of the unique construction requirements of many parking garages and because a parking lot is often vacant paved land without any structure, a vacant parking garage facility or parking lot may not be easily converted to other uses.

 

Mortgaged properties may have other specialty use tenants, such as retail banks, medical and dental offices, gas stations, data centers, urgent care facilities, daycare centers and/or restaurants, as part of the mortgaged property.

 

In the case of specialty use tenants such as restaurants and theaters, aspects of building site design and adaptability affect the value of such properties and other retailers at the mortgaged property. Decreasing patronage at such properties could adversely affect revenue of the property, which may, in turn, cause the tenants to experience financial difficulties, resulting in downgrades in their credit ratings, lease defaults and, in certain cases, bankruptcy filings. See “—Performance of the Mortgage Loans Will Be Highly Dependent on the Performance of Tenants and Tenant Leases—Tenant Bankruptcy Could Result in a Rejection of the Related Lease” above. Additionally, receipts at such properties are also affected not only by objective factors but by subjective factors. For instance, restaurant receipts are affected by such varied influences as the current personal income levels in the community, an individual consumer’s preference for type of food, style of dining and restaurant atmosphere, the perceived popularity of the restaurant, food safety concerns related to personal health with the handling of food items at the restaurant or by food suppliers and the actions and/or behaviors of staff and management and level of service to the customers. In addition, because of unique construction requirements of such properties, any vacant space would not easily be converted to other uses.

 

Retail bank branches are specialty use tenants that are often outfitted with vaults, teller counters and other customary installations and equipment that may have required significant capital expenditures to install. The ability to lease these types of properties may be difficult due to the added cost and time to retrofitting the property to allow for other uses.

 

Mortgaged properties with specialty use tenants may not be readily convertible (or convertible at all) to alternative uses if those properties were to become unprofitable, or the leased spaces were to become vacant, for any reason due to their unique construction requirements. In addition, converting commercial properties to alternate uses generally requires substantial capital expenditures and could result in a significant adverse effect on, or interruption of, the revenues generated by such properties.

 

In addition, a mortgaged property may not be readily convertible due to restrictive covenants related to such mortgaged property, including in the case of mortgaged properties that are subject to a condominium regime or subject to a ground lease, the use and other restrictions imposed by the condominium declaration and other related documents, especially in a situation where a mortgaged property does not represent the

 

 93

 

 

entire condominium regime. See “—Condominium Ownership May Limit Use and Improvements” above.

 

Some of the mortgaged properties may be part of tax-reduction programs that apply only if the mortgaged properties are used for certain purposes. Such properties may be restricted from being converted to alternative uses because of such restrictions.

 

Some of the mortgaged properties have government tenants or other tenants which may have space that was “built to suit” that particular tenant’s uses and needs. For example, a government tenant may require enhanced security features that required additional construction or renovation costs and for which the related tenant may pay above market rent. However, such enhanced features may not be necessary for a new tenant (and such new tenant may not be willing to pay the higher rent associated with such features). While a government office building or government leased space may be usable as a regular office building or tenant space, the rents that may be collected in the event the government tenant does not renew its lease may be significantly lower than the rent currently collected.

 

Additionally, zoning, historical preservation or other restrictions also may prevent alternative uses. See “—Risks Related to Zoning Non-Compliance and Use Restrictions” below.

 

Risks Related to Zoning Non-Compliance and Use Restrictions

 

Certain of the mortgaged properties may not comply with current zoning laws, including use, density, parking, height, landscaping, open space and set back requirements, due to changes in zoning requirements after such mortgaged properties were constructed. These properties, as well as those for which variances or special permits were issued or for which non-conformity with current zoning laws is otherwise permitted, are considered to be a “legal non-conforming use” and/or the improvements are considered to be “legal non-conforming structures”. This means that the borrower is not required to alter its structure to comply with the existing or new law; however, the borrower may not be able to rebuild the premises “as-is” in the event of a substantial casualty loss. This may adversely affect the cash flow of the property following the loss. If a substantial casualty were to occur, we cannot assure you that insurance proceeds would be available to pay the mortgage loan in full. In addition, if a non-conforming use were to be discontinued and/or the property were repaired or restored in conformity with the current law, the value of the property or the revenue-producing potential of the property may not be equal to that before the casualty.

 

In some cases, the related borrower has obtained law and ordinance insurance to cover additional costs that result from rebuilding the mortgaged property in accordance with current zoning requirements, including, within the policy’s limitations, demolition costs, increased costs of construction due to code compliance and loss of value to undamaged improvements resulting from the application of zoning laws. However, if as a result of the applicable zoning laws the rebuilt improvements are smaller or less attractive to tenants than the original improvements, you should not assume that the resulting loss in income will be covered by law and ordinance insurance. Zoning protection insurance, if obtained, will generally reimburse the lender for the difference between (i) the mortgage loan balance on the date of damage loss to the mortgaged property from an insured peril and (ii) the total insurance proceeds at the time of the damage to the mortgaged property if such mortgaged property cannot be rebuilt to its former use due to new zoning ordinances.

 

In addition, certain of the mortgaged properties that do not conform to current zoning laws may not be “legal non-conforming uses” or “legal non-conforming structures”, thus

 

 94

 

 

constituting a zoning violation. The failure of a mortgaged property to comply with zoning laws or to be a “legal non-conforming use” or “legal non-conforming structure” may adversely affect the market value of the mortgaged property or the borrower’s ability to continue to use it in the manner it is currently being used or may necessitate material additional expenditures to remedy non-conformities. See representation and warranty no. 24 on Annex D-1 and the exceptions thereto on Annex D-2 (subject to the limitations and qualifications set forth in the preamble to Annex D-1). Further, current uses may not in all instances have all necessary licenses and permits, which may subject the borrower or tenant to penalties or disruption of the related use. See representation and warranty no. 25 on Annex D-1 and the exceptions thereto on Annex D-2 (subject to the limitations and qualifications set forth in the preamble to Annex D-1).

 

The limited availability of zoning information and/or extent of zoning diligence may also present risks. Zoning information contained in appraisals may be based on limited investigation, and zoning comfort letters obtained from jurisdictions, while based on available records, do not customarily involve any contemporaneous site inspection. The extent of zoning diligence will also be determined based on perceived risk and the cost and benefit of obtaining additional information. Even if law and ordinance insurance is required to mitigate rebuilding-related risks, we cannot assure you that other risks related to material zoning violations will have been identified under such circumstances, and that appropriate borrower covenants or other structural mitigants will have been required as a result.

 

In addition, certain of the mortgaged properties may be subject to certain use restrictions and/or operational requirements imposed pursuant to development agreements, regulatory agreements, ground leases, restrictive covenants, environmental restrictions, reciprocal easement agreements or operating agreements or historical landmark designations or, in the case of those mortgaged properties that are condominiums, condominium declarations or other condominium use restrictions or regulations, especially in a situation where the mortgaged property does not represent the entire condominium building. Such use restrictions could include, for example, limitations on the character of the improvements or the properties, limitations affecting noise and parking requirements, among other things, and limitations on the borrowers’ right to operate certain types of facilities within a prescribed radius. These limitations impose upon the borrower stricter requirements with respect to repairs and alterations, including following a casualty loss. These limitations could adversely affect the ability of the related borrower to lease the mortgaged property on favorable terms, thus adversely affecting the borrower’s ability to fulfill its obligations under the related mortgage loan. In addition, any alteration, reconstruction, demolition, or new construction affecting a mortgaged property designated a historical landmark may require prior approval. Any such approval process, even if successful, could delay any redevelopment or alteration of a related property. The liquidation value of such property, to the extent subject to limitations of the kind described above or other limitations on convertibility of use, may be substantially less than would be the case if such property was readily adaptable to other uses or redevelopment. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Use Restrictions” for examples of mortgaged properties that are subject to restrictions relating to the use of the mortgaged properties.

 

Risks Relating to Inspections of Properties

 

Licensed engineers or consultants inspected the mortgaged properties at or about the time of the origination of the mortgage loans to assess items such as structural integrity of the buildings and other improvements on the mortgaged property, including exterior walls, roofing, interior construction, mechanical and electrical systems and general condition of the

 

 95

 

 

site, buildings and other improvements. However, we cannot assure you that all conditions requiring repair or replacement were identified. No additional property inspections were conducted in connection with the issuance of the offered certificates.

 

Risks Relating to Costs of Compliance with Applicable Laws and Regulations

 

A borrower may be required to incur costs to comply with various existing and future federal, state or local laws and regulations applicable to the related mortgaged property, for example, zoning laws and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended, which requires all public accommodations to meet certain federal requirements related to access and use by persons with disabilities. See “Certain Legal Aspects of Mortgage Loans—Americans with Disabilities Act”. The expenditure of these costs or the imposition of injunctive relief, penalties or fines in connection with the borrower’s noncompliance could negatively impact the borrower’s cash flow and, consequently, its ability to pay its mortgage loan.

 

Insurance May Not Be Available or Adequate

 

Although the mortgaged properties are required to be insured, or self-insured by a sole tenant of a related building or group of buildings, against certain risks, there is a possibility of casualty loss with respect to the mortgaged properties for which insurance proceeds may not be adequate or which may result from risks not covered by insurance.

 

In addition, certain types of mortgaged properties, such as manufactured housing and recreational vehicle communities, have few or no insurable buildings or improvements and thus do not have casualty insurance or low limits of casualty insurance in comparison with the related mortgage loan balances.

 

In addition, hazard insurance policies will typically contain co-insurance clauses that in effect require an insured at all times to carry insurance of a specified percentage, generally 80% to 90%, of the full replacement value of the improvements on the related mortgaged property in order to recover the full amount of any partial loss. As a result, even if insurance coverage is maintained, if the insured’s coverage falls below this specified percentage, those clauses generally provide that the insurer’s liability in the event of partial loss does not exceed the lesser of (1) the replacement cost of the improvements less physical depreciation and (2) that proportion of the loss as the amount of insurance carried bears to the specified percentage of the full replacement cost of those improvements.

 

Certain of the mortgaged properties may be located in areas that are considered a high earthquake risk (seismic zones 3 or 4). See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Mortgage Pool Characteristics—Geographic Concentrations”.

 

Furthermore, with respect to certain mortgage loans, the insurable value of the related mortgaged property as of the origination date of the related mortgage loan was lower than the principal balance of the related mortgage loan. In the event of a casualty when a borrower is not required to rebuild or cannot rebuild, we cannot assure you that the insurance required with respect to the related mortgaged property will be sufficient to pay the related mortgage loan in full and there is no “gap” insurance required under such mortgage loan to cover any difference. In those circumstances, a casualty that occurs near the maturity date may result in an extension of the maturity date of the mortgage loan if the special servicer, in accordance with the servicing standard, determines that such extension was in the best interest of certificateholders.

 

 96

 

 

The mortgage loans do not all require flood insurance on the related mortgaged properties unless they are in a flood zone and flood insurance is available and, in certain instances, even where the related mortgaged property was in a flood zone and flood insurance was available, flood insurance was not required.

 

On September 8, 2017, the President signed legislation passed by both houses of Congress that extends the National Flood Insurance Program’s authorization for three months. It previously had been set to expire September 30, 2017. Congress must now reauthorize the National Flood Insurance Program by no later than December 8, 2017. We cannot assure you if or when the program will be reauthorized. If the program is not reauthorized, it could have an adverse effect on the value of properties in flood zones or their ability to repair after flood damage.

 

We cannot assure you that the borrowers will in the future be able to comply with requirements to maintain adequate insurance with respect to the mortgaged properties, and any uninsured loss could have a material adverse impact on the amount available to make payments on the related mortgage loan, and consequently, the offered certificates. As with all real estate, if reconstruction (for example, following fire or other casualty) or any major repair or improvement is required to the damaged property, changes in laws and governmental regulations may be applicable and may materially affect the cost to, or ability of, the borrowers to effect such reconstruction, major repair or improvement. As a result, the amount realized with respect to the mortgaged properties, and the amount available to make payments on the related mortgage loan, and consequently, the offered certificates, could be reduced. In addition, we cannot assure you that the amount of insurance required or provided would be sufficient to cover damages caused by any casualty, or that such insurance will be available in the future at commercially reasonable rates. See representation and warranty no. 16 on Annex D-1 and the exceptions thereto on Annex D-2 (subject to the limitations and qualifications set forth in the preamble to Annex D-1).

 

Inadequacy of Title Insurers May Adversely Affect Distributions on Your Certificates

 

Title insurance for a mortgaged property generally insures a lender against risks relating to a lender not having a first lien with respect to a mortgaged property, and in some cases can insure a lender against specific other risks. The protection afforded by title insurance depends on the ability of the title insurer to pay claims made upon it. We cannot assure you that with respect to any mortgage loan:

 

a title insurer will have the ability to pay title insurance claims made upon it;

 

the title insurer will maintain its present financial strength; or

 

a title insurer will not contest claims made upon it.

 

Certain of the mortgaged properties are either completing initial construction or undergoing renovation or redevelopment. Under such circumstances, there may be limitations to the amount of coverage or other exceptions to coverage that could adversely affect the issuing entity if losses are suffered.

 

Terrorism Insurance May Not Be Available for All Mortgaged Properties

 

The occurrence or the possibility of terrorist attacks could (1) lead to damage to one or more of the mortgaged properties if any terrorist attacks occur or (2) result in higher costs for security and insurance premiums or diminish the availability of insurance coverage for

 

 97

 

 

losses related to terrorist attacks, particularly for large properties, which could adversely affect the cash flow at those mortgaged properties.

 

After the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in New York City and the Washington, D.C. area, all forms of insurance were impacted, particularly from a cost and availability perspective, including comprehensive general liability and business interruption or rent loss insurance policies required by typical mortgage loans. To give time for private markets to develop a pricing mechanism for terrorism risk and to build capacity to absorb future losses that may occur due to terrorism, the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 was enacted on November 26, 2002, establishing the Terrorism Insurance Program. The Terrorism Insurance Program was extended through December 31, 2014 by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2007 and was subsequently reauthorized on January 12, 2015 for a period of six years through December 31, 2020 pursuant to the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2015 (“TRIPRA”).

 

The Terrorism Insurance Program requires insurance carriers to provide terrorism coverage in their basic “all-risk” policies. Any commercial property and casualty terrorism insurance exclusion that was in force on November 26, 2002 is automatically void to the extent that it excluded losses that would otherwise be insured losses. Any state approval of those types of exclusions in force on November 26, 2002 is also void.

 

Under the Terrorism Insurance Program, the federal government shares in the risk of losses occurring within the United States resulting from acts committed in an effort to influence or coerce United States civilians or the United States government. The federal share of compensation for insured losses of an insurer equals 83% in 2017 (subject to annual 1% decreases thereafter until such percentage equals 80%) of the portion of such insured losses that exceed a deductible equal to 20% of the value of the insurer’s direct earned premiums over the calendar year immediately preceding that program year. Federal compensation in any program year is capped at $100 billion (with insurers being liable for any amount that exceeds such cap), and no compensation is payable with respect to a terrorist act unless the aggregate industry losses relating to such act exceed $140 million in 2017 (subject to annual $20 million increases thereafter until such threshold equals $200 million). The Terrorism Insurance Program does not cover nuclear, biological, chemical or radiological attacks. Unless a borrower obtains separate coverage for events that do not meet the thresholds or other requirements above, such events will not be covered.

 

If the Terrorism Insurance Program is not reenacted after its expiration in 2020, premiums for terrorism insurance coverage will likely increase and the terms of such insurance policies may be materially amended to increase stated exclusions or to otherwise effectively decrease the scope of coverage available (perhaps to the point where it is effectively not available). In addition, to the extent that any insurance policies contain “sunset clauses” (i.e., clauses that void terrorism coverage if the federal insurance backstop program is not renewed), such policies may cease to provide terrorism insurance upon the expiration of the Terrorism Insurance Program. We cannot assure you that the Terrorism Insurance Program or any successor program will create any long term changes in the availability and cost of such insurance. Moreover, future legislation, including regulations expected to be adopted by the Treasury Department pursuant to TRIPRA, may have a material effect on the availability of federal assistance in the terrorism insurance market. To the extent that uninsured or underinsured casualty losses occur with respect to the related mortgaged properties, losses on the mortgage loans may result. In addition, the failure to maintain such terrorism insurance may constitute a default under the related mortgage loan.

Some of the mortgage loans do not require the related borrower to maintain terrorism insurance. In addition, most of the mortgage loans contain limitations on the related borrower’s obligation to obtain terrorism insurance, such as (i) waiving the requirement that such borrower maintain terrorism insurance if such insurance is not available at commercially reasonable rates, (ii) providing that the related borrower is not required to spend in excess of a specified dollar amount (or in some cases, a specified multiple of what is spent on other insurance) in order to obtain such terrorism insurance, (iii) requiring coverage only for as long as the TRIPRA is in effect, or (iv) requiring coverage only for losses arising from domestic acts of terrorism or from terrorist acts certified by the federal government as “acts of terrorism” under the TRIPRA. See Annex A-3 for a summary of the terrorism insurance requirements under each of the 15 largest mortgage loans. See representation and warranty no. 29 on Annex D-1 and the exceptions thereto on Annex D-2 (subject to the limitations and qualifications set forth in the preamble to Annex D-1).

 

We cannot assure you that all of the mortgaged properties will be insured against the risks of terrorism and similar acts. As a result of any of the foregoing, the amount available to make distributions on your certificates could be reduced.

 

Other mortgaged properties securing mortgage loans may also be insured under a blanket policy or self-insured or insured by a sole tenant. See “—Risks Associated with Blanket Insurance Policies or Self-Insurance” below.

 

Risks Associated with Blanket Insurance Policies or Self-Insurance

 

Certain of the mortgaged properties are covered by blanket insurance policies, which also cover other properties of the related borrower or its affiliates (including certain properties in close proximity to the mortgaged properties). In the event that such policies are drawn on to cover losses on such other properties, the amount of insurance coverage available under such policies would thereby be reduced and could be insufficient to cover each mortgaged property’s insurable risks.

 

Certain mortgaged properties may also be insured or self-insured by a sole or significant tenant, as further described under “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Tenant Issues—Insurance Considerations”. We cannot assure you that any insurance obtained by a sole or significant tenant will be adequate or that such sole or significant tenant will comply with any requirements to maintain adequate insurance. Additionally, to the extent that insurance coverage relies on self-insurance, there is a risk that the “insurer” will not be willing or have the financial ability to satisfy a claim if a loss occurs.

 

Additionally, the risks related to blanket or self-insurance may be aggravated if the mortgage loans that allow such coverage are part of a group of mortgage loans with related borrowers, and some or all of the related mortgaged properties are covered under the same self-insurance or blanket insurance policy, which may also cover other properties owned by affiliates of such borrowers.

 

Condemnation of a Mortgaged Property May Adversely Affect Distributions on Certificates

 

From time to time, there may be condemnations pending or threatened against one or more of the mortgaged properties securing the mortgage loans. The proceeds payable in connection with a total condemnation may not be sufficient to restore the related mortgaged property or to satisfy the remaining indebtedness of the related mortgage loan. The occurrence of a partial condemnation may have a material adverse effect on the continued use of, or income generated by, the affected mortgaged property. Therefore, we

 

 99

 

 

cannot assure you that the occurrence of any condemnation will not have a negative impact upon distributions on your offered certificates.

 

Limited Information Causes Uncertainty

 

Historical Information

 

Some of the mortgage loans that we intend to include in the issuing entity are secured in whole or in part by mortgaged properties for which limited or no historical operating information is available. As a result, you may find it difficult to analyze the historical performance of those mortgaged properties.

 

A mortgaged property may lack prior operating history or historical financial information because it is newly constructed or renovated, it is a recent acquisition by the related borrower or it is a single-tenant property that is subject to a triple-net lease. In addition, a tenant’s lease may contain confidentiality provisions that restrict the sponsors’ access to or disclosure of such tenant’s financial information. The underwritten net cash flows and underwritten net operating income for such mortgaged properties are derived principally from current rent rolls or tenant leases and historical expenses, adjusted to account for inflation, significant occupancy increases and a market rate management fee. In some cases, underwritten net cash flows and underwritten net operating income for mortgaged properties are based all or in part on leases (or letters of intent) that are not yet in place (and may still be under negotiation) or on tenants that may have signed a lease (or letter of intent), or lease amendment expanding the leased space, but are not yet in occupancy and/or paying rent), which present certain risks described in “—Underwritten Net Cash Flow Could Be Based On Incorrect or Flawed Assumptions” below.

 

See Annex A-1 for certain historical financial information relating to the mortgaged properties, including net operating income for the most recent reporting period and prior three (3) calendar years, to the extent available.

 

Ongoing Information

 

The primary source of ongoing information regarding the offered certificates, including information regarding the status of the related mortgage loans and any credit support for the offered certificates, will be the periodic reports delivered to you. See “Description of the Certificates—Reports to Certificateholders; Certain Available Information”. We cannot assure you that any additional ongoing information regarding the offered certificates will be available through any other source. The limited nature of the available information in respect of the offered certificates may adversely affect their liquidity, even if a secondary market for the offered certificates does develop.

 

We are not aware of any source through which pricing information regarding the offered certificates will be generally available on an ongoing basis or on any particular date.

 

Underwritten Net Cash Flow Could Be Based On Incorrect or Flawed Assumptions

 

As described under “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Certain Calculations and Definitions”, underwritten net cash flow generally includes cash flow (including any cash flow from master leases) adjusted based on a number of assumptions used by the sponsors. We make no representation that the underwritten net cash flow set forth in this prospectus as of the cut-off date or any other date represents actual future net cash flows. For example, with respect to certain mortgage loans included in the issuing entity, the occupancy of the related mortgaged property reflects tenants that (i) may not have yet

 

 100

 

 

actually executed leases (but have in some instances signed letters of intent), (ii) have signed leases but have not yet taken occupancy and/or are not paying full contractual rent, (iii) are seeking or may in the future seek to sublet all or a portion of their respective spaces, (iv) are “dark” tenants but paying rent, or (v) are affiliates of the related borrower and are leasing space pursuant to a master lease or a space lease. Similarly, with respect to certain mortgage loans included in the issuing entity, the underwritten net cash flow may be based on certain tenants that have not yet executed leases or that have signed leases but are not yet in place and/or are not yet paying rent, or have a signed lease or lease amendment expanding the leased space, but are not yet in occupancy of all or a portion of their space and/or paying rent, or may assume that future contractual rent steps (during some or all of the remaining term of a lease) have occurred. In many cases, co-tenancy provisions were assumed to be satisfied and vacant space was assumed to be occupied and space that was due to expire was assumed to have been re-let, in each case at market rates that may have exceeded current rent. You should review these and other similar assumptions and make your own determination of the appropriate assumptions to be used in determining underwritten net cash flow.

 

In addition, underwritten or adjusted cash flows, by their nature, are speculative and are based upon certain assumptions and projections. The failure of these assumptions or projections in whole or in part could cause the underwritten net operating income (calculated as described in “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Certain Calculations and Definitions”) to vary substantially from the actual net operating income of a mortgaged property.

 

In the event of the inaccuracy of any assumptions or projections used in connection with the calculation of underwritten net cash flow, the actual net cash flow could be significantly different (and, in some cases, may be materially less) than the underwritten net cash flow presented in this prospectus, and this would change other numerical information presented in this prospectus based on or derived from the underwritten net cash flow, such as the debt service coverage ratios or debt yield presented in this prospectus. We cannot assure you that any such assumptions or projections made with respect to any mortgaged property will, in fact, be consistent with that mortgaged property’s actual performance.

 

Frequent and Early Occurrence of Borrower Delinquencies and Defaults May Adversely Affect Your Investment

 

If you calculate the anticipated yield of your offered certificates based on a rate of default or amount of losses lower than that actually experienced on the mortgage loans and those additional losses result in a reduction of the total distributions on, or the certificate balance of, your offered certificates, your actual yield to maturity will be lower than expected and could be negative under certain extreme scenarios. The timing of any loss on a liquidated mortgage loan that results in a reduction of the total distributions on or the certificate balance of your offered certificates will also affect the actual yield to maturity of your offered certificates, even if the rate of defaults and severity of losses are consistent with your expectations. In general, the earlier a loss is borne by you, the greater the effect on your yield to maturity.

 

Delinquencies on the mortgage loans, if the delinquent amounts are not advanced, may result in shortfalls in distributions of interest and/or principal to the holders of the offered certificates for the current month. Furthermore, no interest will accrue on this shortfall during the period of time that the payment is delinquent. Additionally, in instances where the principal portion of any balloon payment scheduled with respect to a mortgage loan is collected by the master servicer following the end of the related collection period, no portion of the principal received on such payment will be passed through for distribution to the

 

 101

 

 

certificateholders until the subsequent distribution date, which may result in shortfalls in distributions of interest to the holders of the offered certificates in the following month. Furthermore, in such instances no provision is made for the master servicer or any other party to cover any such interest shortfalls that may occur as a result. In addition, if interest and/or principal advances and/or servicing advances are made with respect to a mortgage loan after a default and the related mortgage loan is thereafter worked out under terms that do not provide for the repayment of those advances in full at the time of the workout, then any reimbursements of those advances prior to the actual collection of the amount for which the advance was made may also result in shortfalls in distributions of principal to the holders of the offered certificates with certificate balances for the current month. Even if losses on the mortgage loans are not allocated to a particular class of offered certificates with certificate balances, the losses may affect the weighted average life and yield to maturity of that class of offered certificates. In the case of any material monetary or material non-monetary default, the special servicer may accelerate the maturity of the related mortgage loan, which could result in an acceleration of principal distributions to the certificateholders. The special servicer may also extend or modify a mortgage loan, which could result in a substantial delay in principal distributions to the certificateholders. In addition, losses on the mortgage loans, even if not allocated to a class of offered certificates with certificate balances, may result in a higher percentage ownership interest evidenced by those offered certificates in the remaining mortgage loans than would otherwise have resulted absent the loss. The consequent effect on the weighted average life and yield to maturity of the offered certificates will depend upon the characteristics of those remaining mortgage loans in the trust fund.

 

The Mortgage Loans Have Not Been Reviewed or Re-Underwritten by Us; Some Mortgage Loans May Not Have Complied With Another Originator’s Underwriting Criteria

 

Although the sponsors have conducted a review of the mortgage loans to be sold to us for this securitization transaction, we, as the depositor for this securitization transaction, have neither originated the mortgage loans nor conducted a review or re-underwriting of the mortgage loans. Instead, we have relied on the representations and warranties made by the applicable sponsors and the remedies for breach of a representation and warranty as described under “Description of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements” and each sponsor’s description of its underwriting criteria described under “Transaction PartiesThe Sponsors and Mortgage Loan Sellers—UBS AG, New York Branch—UBS AG, New York Branch’s Underwriting Standards”; “—Cantor Commercial Real Estate Lending, L.P.—CCRE Lending’s Underwriting Standards”; “—Ladder Capital Finance LLC—Ladder Capital Group’s Underwriting Guidelines and Processes”; “—Natixis Real Estate Capital LLC—NREC’s Underwriting Standards”; “—Société Générale—Société Générale’s Underwriting Standards”; and”—Rialto Mortgage Finance, LLC—Rialto Mortgage’s Underwriting Standards and Loan Analysis”. A description of the review conducted by each sponsor for this securitization transaction is set forth under “Transaction PartiesThe Sponsors and Mortgage Loan Sellers—UBS AG, New York Branch—UBS AG, New York Branch’s Underwriting Standards”; “—Cantor Commercial Real Estate Lending, L.P.—CCRE Lending’s Underwriting Standards”; “—Ladder Capital Finance LLC—Ladder Capital Group’s Underwriting Guidelines and Processes”; “—Natixis Real Estate Capital LLC—NREC’s Underwriting Standards”; “—Société Générale—Société Générale’s Underwriting Standards”; and”—Rialto Mortgage Finance, LLC—Rialto Mortgage’s Underwriting Standards and Loan Analysis”.

 

The representations and warranties made by the sponsors may not cover all of the matters that one would review in underwriting a mortgage loan and you should not view them as a substitute for re-underwriting the mortgage loans. Furthermore, these

 

 102

 

 

representations and warranties in some respects represent an allocation of risk rather than a confirmed description of the mortgage loans. If we had re-underwritten the mortgage loans, it is possible that the re-underwriting process may have revealed problems with a mortgage loan not covered by a representation or warranty or may have revealed inaccuracies in the representations and warranties. See “—Other Risks Relating to the Certificates—Sponsors May Not Make Required Repurchases or Substitutions of Defective Mortgage Loans or Pay Any Loss of Value Payment Sufficient to Cover All Losses on a Defective Mortgage Loan” below, and “Description of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements”.

 

In addition, we cannot assure you that all of the mortgage loans would have complied with the underwriting criteria of the other originators or, accordingly, that each originator would have made the same decision to originate every mortgage loan included in the issuing entity or, if they did decide to originate an unrelated mortgage loan, that they would have been underwritten on the same terms and conditions.

 

As a result of the foregoing, you are advised and encouraged to make your own investment decision based on a careful review of the information set forth in this prospectus and your own view of the mortgage pool.

 

Static Pool Data Would Not Be Indicative of the Performance of this Pool

 

As a result of the distinct nature of each pool of commercial mortgage loans, and the separate mortgage loans within the pool, this prospectus does not include disclosure concerning the delinquency and loss experience of static pools of periodic originations by any sponsor of assets of the type to be securitized (known as “static pool data”). In particular, static pool data showing a low level of delinquencies and defaults would not be indicative of the performance of this pool or any other pools of mortgage loans originated by the same sponsor or sponsors.

 

While there may be certain common factors affecting the performance and value of income-producing real properties in general, those factors do not apply equally to all income-producing real properties and, in many cases, there are unique factors that will affect the performance and/or value of a particular income-producing real property. Moreover, the effect of a given factor on a particular real property will depend on a number of variables, including but not limited to property type, geographic location, competition, sponsorship and other characteristics of the property and the related commercial mortgage loan. Each income-producing real property represents a separate and distinct business venture and, as a result, each of the mortgage loans requires a unique underwriting analysis. Furthermore, economic and other conditions affecting real properties, whether worldwide, national, regional or local, vary over time. The performance of a pool of mortgage loans originated and outstanding under a given set of economic conditions may vary significantly from the performance of an otherwise comparable mortgage pool originated and outstanding under a different set of economic conditions.

 

Therefore, you should evaluate this offering on the basis of the information set forth in this prospectus with respect to the mortgage loans, and not on the basis of the performance of other pools of securitized commercial mortgage loans.

 

Appraisals May Not Reflect Current or Future Market Value of Each Property

 

Appraisals were obtained with respect to each of the mortgaged properties at or about the time of origination of the related mortgage loan (or whole loan, if applicable) or at or around the time of the acquisition of the mortgage loan (or whole loan, if applicable) by the

 

 103

 

 

related sponsor. See Annex A-1 for the dates of the latest appraisals for the mortgaged properties. We have not obtained new appraisals of the mortgaged properties or assigned new valuations to the mortgage loans in connection with the offering of the offered certificates. The market values of the mortgaged properties could have declined since the origination of the related mortgage loans.

 

In general, appraisals represent the analysis and opinion of qualified appraisers and are not guarantees of present or future value. One appraiser may reach a different conclusion than that of a different appraiser with respect to the same property. The appraisals seek to establish the amount a typically motivated buyer would pay a typically motivated seller and, in certain cases, may have taken into consideration the purchase price paid by the borrower. The amount could be significantly higher than the amount obtained from the sale of a mortgaged property in a distress or liquidation sale.

 

Information regarding the appraised values of the mortgaged properties (including loan-to-value ratios) presented in this prospectus is not intended to be a representation as to the past, present or future market values of the mortgaged properties. For example, in some cases, a borrower or its affiliate may have acquired the related mortgaged property for a price or otherwise for consideration in an amount that is less than the related appraised value specified on Annex A-1, including at a foreclosure sale or through acceptance of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. Historical operating results of the mortgaged properties used in these appraisals, as adjusted by various assumptions, estimates and subjective judgments on the part of the appraiser, may not be comparable to future operating results. In addition, certain appraisals may be based on extraordinary assumptions, including without limitation, that certain tenants are in-place and paying rent when such tenants have not yet taken occupancy or that certain renovations or property improvement plans have been completed. Additionally, certain appraisals with respect to mortgage loans secured by multiple mortgaged properties may have been conducted on a portfolio basis rather than on an individual property basis, and the sum of the values of the individual properties may be different from (and in some cases may be less than) the appraised value of the aggregate of such properties on a portfolio basis. In addition, other factors may impair the mortgaged properties’ value without affecting their current net operating income, including:

 

changes in governmental regulations, zoning or tax laws;

 

potential environmental or other legal liabilities;

 

the availability of refinancing; and

 

changes in interest rate levels.

 

In certain cases, appraisals may reflect “as-is” values or values other than “as-is”. However, the appraised value reflected in this prospectus with respect to each mortgaged property, except as described under “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Certain Calculations and Definitions” and/or “—Appraised Value”, reflects only the “as-is” value (or, in certain cases, may reflect the other than “as-is” values as a result of the satisfaction of the related conditions or assumptions or the establishment of reserves estimated to complete the renovations) unless otherwise specified, which values may be based on certain assumptions, such as future construction completion, projected re-tenanting or increased tenant occupancies. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Appraised Value”.

 

Additionally, with respect to the appraisals setting forth assumptions, particularly those setting forth extraordinary assumptions, as to the “as-is” values or values other than “as-

 

 104

 

 

is”, we cannot assure you that any values shown in this prospectus will be the value of the related mortgaged property at the indicated stabilization date (if applicable) or at maturity or the anticipated repayment date (if any). Any engineering report, site inspection or appraisal represents only the analysis of the individual consultant, engineer or inspector preparing such report at the time of such report, and may not reveal all necessary or desirable repairs, maintenance and capital improvement items. See “Transaction PartiesThe Sponsors and Mortgage Loan Sellers—UBS AG, New York Branch—UBS AG, New York Branch’s Underwriting Standards”; “—Cantor Commercial Real Estate Lending, L.P.—CCRE Lending’s Underwriting Standards”; “—Ladder Capital Finance LLC—Ladder Capital Group’s Underwriting Guidelines and Processes”; “—Natixis Real Estate Capital LLC—NREC’s Underwriting Standards”; “—Société Générale—Société Générale’s Underwriting Standards”; and”—Rialto Mortgage Finance, LLC—Rialto Mortgage’s Underwriting Standards and Loan Analysis”“ for additional information regarding the appraisals. We cannot assure you that the information set forth in this prospectus regarding the appraised values or loan-to-value ratios accurately reflects past, present or future market values of the mortgaged properties or the amount that would be realized upon a sale of the related mortgaged property.

 

The Performance of a Mortgage Loan and Its Related Mortgaged Property Depends in Part on Who Controls the Borrower and Mortgaged Property

 

The operation and performance of a mortgage loan will depend in part on the identity of the persons or entities who control the borrower and the mortgaged property. The performance of a mortgage loan may be adversely affected if control of a borrower changes, which may occur, for example, by means of transfers of direct or indirect ownership interests in the borrower, or if the mortgage loan is assigned to and assumed by another person or entity along with a transfer of the property to that person or entity.

 

Many of the mortgage loans generally place certain restrictions on the transfer and/or pledging of general partnership and managing member equity interests in a borrower, such as specific percentage or control limitations, although some have current or permit future mezzanine or subordinate debt. We cannot assure you the ownership of any of the borrowers would not change during the term of the related mortgage loan and result in a material adverse effect on your certificates. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Additional Indebtedness” and “—Certain Terms of the Mortgage Loans—”Due-On-Sale” and “Due-On-Encumbrance” Provisions”.

 

The Borrower’s Form of Entity May Cause Special Risks

 

The borrowers are legal entities rather than individuals. Mortgage loans made to legal entities may entail greater risks of loss than those associated with mortgage loans made to individuals. For example, a legal entity, as opposed to an individual, may be more inclined to seek legal protection from its creditors under the bankruptcy laws. Unlike individuals involved in bankruptcies, most entities generally, but not in all cases, do not have personal assets and creditworthiness at stake.

 

The terms of certain of the mortgage loans require that the borrowers be single-purpose entities and, in most cases, such borrowers’ organizational documents or the terms of the mortgage loans limit their activities to the ownership of only the related mortgaged property or mortgaged properties and limit the borrowers’ ability to incur additional indebtedness. Such provisions are designed to mitigate the possibility that the borrower’s financial condition would be adversely impacted by factors unrelated to the related mortgaged property and mortgage loan. Such borrower may also have previously owned property other than the related mortgaged property or may be a so-called “recycled” single-purpose entity that previously had other business activities and liabilities. However, we cannot

 

 105

 

 

assure you that such borrowers have in the past complied, or in the future will comply, with such requirements. Additionally, in some cases unsecured debt exists and/or is allowed in the future. Furthermore, in many cases such borrowers are not required to observe all covenants and conditions which typically are required in order for such borrowers to be viewed under standard rating agency criteria as “single purpose entities”.

 

Although a borrower may currently be a single purpose entity, in certain cases the borrowers were not originally formed as single purpose entities, but at origination of the related mortgage loan their organizational documents were amended. Such borrower may have previously owned property other than the related mortgaged property and may not have observed all covenants that typically are required to consider a borrower a “single purpose entity” and thus may have liabilities arising from events prior to becoming a single purpose entity.

 

The organizational documents of a borrower or the direct or indirect managing partner or member of a borrower may also contain requirements that there be one or two independent directors, managers or trustees (depending on the entity form of such borrower) whose vote is required before the borrower files a voluntary bankruptcy or insolvency petition or otherwise institutes insolvency proceedings. Generally, but not always, the independent directors, managers or trustees may only be replaced with certain other independent successors. Although the requirement of having independent directors, managers or trustees is designed to mitigate the risk of a voluntary bankruptcy filing by a solvent borrower, a borrower could file for bankruptcy without obtaining the consent of its independent director(s) (and we cannot assure you that such bankruptcy would be dismissed as an unauthorized filing), and in any case the independent directors, managers or trustees may determine that a bankruptcy filing is an appropriate course of action to be taken by such borrower. Although the independent directors, managers or trustees generally owe no fiduciary duties to entities other than the borrower itself, such determination might take into account the interests and financial condition of such borrower’s parent entities and such parent entities’ other subsidiaries in addition to those of the borrower. Consequently, the financial distress of an affiliate of a borrower might increase the likelihood of a bankruptcy filing by a borrower.

 

The bankruptcy of a borrower, or a general partner or managing member of a borrower, may impair the ability of the lender to enforce its rights and remedies under the related mortgage loan. Certain of the mortgage loans have been made to single purpose limited partnerships that have a general partner or general partners that are not themselves single purpose entities. Such loans are subject to additional bankruptcy risk. The organizational documents of the general partner in such cases do not limit it to acting as the general partner of the partnership. Accordingly there is a greater risk that the general partner may become insolvent for reasons unrelated to the mortgaged property. The bankruptcy of a general partner may dissolve the partnership under applicable state law. In addition, even if the partnership itself is not insolvent, actions by the partnership and/or a bankrupt general partner that are outside the ordinary course of their business, such as refinancing the related mortgage loan, may require prior approval of the bankruptcy court in the general partner’s bankruptcy case. The proceedings required to resolve these issues may be costly and time-consuming.

 

Any borrower, even an entity structured as a single purpose entity, as an owner of real estate, will be subject to certain potential liabilities and risks as an owner of real estate. We cannot assure you that any borrower will not file for bankruptcy protection or that creditors of a borrower or a corporate or individual general partner or managing member of a borrower will not initiate a bankruptcy or similar proceeding against such borrower or corporate or individual general partner or managing member.

 

 106

 

 

Certain mortgage loans may have the benefit of a general payment guaranty of a portion of the indebtedness under the mortgage loan. A payment guaranty for a portion of the indebtedness under the mortgage loan that is greater than 10% presents a risk for consolidation of the assets of a borrower and the guarantor. In addition, certain borrowers’ organizational documents or the terms of certain mortgage loans permit an affiliated property manager to maintain a custodial account on behalf of such borrower and certain affiliates of such borrower into which funds available to such borrower under the terms of the related mortgage loans and funds of such affiliates are held, but which funds are and will continue to be separately accounted for as to each item of income and expense for each related mortgaged property and each related borrower. A custodial account structure for affiliated entities, while common among certain REITs, institutions or independent owners of multiple properties, presents a risk for consolidation of the assets of such affiliates as commingling of funds is a factor a court may consider in considering a request by other creditors for substantive consolidation. Substantive consolidation is an equitable remedy that could result in an otherwise solvent company becoming subject to the bankruptcy proceedings of an insolvent affiliate, making its assets available to repay the debts of affiliated companies. A court has the discretion to order substantive consolidation in whole or in part and may include non-debtor affiliates of the bankrupt entity in the proceedings. In particular, consolidation may be ordered when corporate funds are commingled and used for a principal’s personal purposes, inadequate records of transfers are made and corporate entities are deemed an alter ego of a principal. Strict adherence to maintaining separate books and records, avoiding commingling of assets and otherwise maintaining corporate policies designed to preserve the separateness of corporate assets and liabilities make it less likely that a court would order substantive consolidation, but we cannot assure you that the related borrowers, property managers or affiliates will comply with these requirements as set forth in the related mortgage loans.

 

Furthermore, with respect to any affiliated borrowers, creditors of a common parent in bankruptcy may seek to consolidate the assets of such borrowers with those of the parent. Consolidation of the assets of such borrowers would likely have an adverse effect on the funds available to make distributions on your certificates, and may lead to a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the ratings of your certificates.

 

See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Certain Terms of the Mortgage Loans—Single Purpose Entity Covenants” and “Certain Legal Aspects of Mortgage Loans—Bankruptcy Laws”.

 

In addition, borrowers may own a mortgaged property as a Delaware statutory trust or as tenants-in-common. Delaware statutory trusts may be restricted in their ability to actively operate a property, and in the case of a mortgaged property that is owned by a Delaware statutory trust or by tenants-in-common, there is a risk that obtaining the consent of the holders of the beneficial interests in the Delaware statutory trust or the consent of the tenants-in-common will be time consuming and cause delays with respect to the taking of certain actions by or on behalf of the borrower, including with respect to the related mortgaged property. See “—Tenancies—in—Common May Hinder Recovery” below. See also “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Mortgage Pool Characteristics—Tenancies-in-Common or Diversified Ownership” and “—Delaware Statutory Trusts” in this prospectus.

 

In addition, certain of the mortgage loans may have borrowers that are wholly or partially (directly or indirectly) owned by one or more crowd funding investor groups or other diversified ownership structures. Investments in the commercial real estate market through crowd funding investor groups are a relatively recent development and there may be certain unanticipated risks to this new ownership structure which may adversely affect the related mortgage loan. Typically, the crowd funding investor group is made up of a large

 

 107

 

 

number of individual investors who invest relatively small amounts in the group pursuant to a securities offering. With respect to an equity investment in the borrower, the crowd funding investor group in turn purchases a stake in the borrower. Accordingly, equity in the borrower is indirectly held by the individual investors in the crowd funding group. We cannot assure you that either the crowd funding investor group or the individual investors in the crowd funding investor group or other diversified ownership structure have relevant expertise in the commercial real estate market. Additionally, crowd funding investor groups are required to comply with various securities regulations related to offerings of securities and we cannot assure you that any enforcement action or legal proceeding regarding failure to comply with such securities regulations would not delay enforcement of the related mortgage loan. Furthermore, we cannot assure you that a bankruptcy proceeding by the crowd funding investor group or other diversified ownership structure will not delay enforcement of the related mortgage loan or otherwise impair the borrower’s ability to operate the related mortgaged property. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Mortgage Pool Characteristics—Tenancies-in-Common or Diversified Ownership” in this prospectus. See “—Litigation Regarding the Mortgaged Properties or Borrowers May Impair Your Distributions”, “—Frequent and Early Occurrence of Borrower Delinquencies and Defaults May Adversely Affect Your Investment” and “—The Performance of a Mortgage Loan and Its Related Mortgaged Property Depends in Part on Who Controls the Borrower and Mortgaged Property”.

 

A Bankruptcy Proceeding May Result in Losses and Delays in Realizing on the Mortgage Loans

 

Numerous statutory provisions, including the federal bankruptcy code and state laws affording relief to debtors, may interfere with and delay the ability of a secured mortgage lender to obtain payment of a loan, to realize upon collateral and/or to enforce a deficiency judgment. For example, under the federal bankruptcy code, virtually all actions (including foreclosure actions and deficiency judgment proceedings) are automatically stayed upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition, and, often, no interest or principal payments are made during the course of the bankruptcy proceeding. Also, under federal bankruptcy law, the filing of a petition in bankruptcy by or on behalf of a junior lien holder may stay the senior lender from taking action to foreclose out such junior lien. Certain of the mortgage loans have sponsors that have previously filed bankruptcy and we cannot assure you that such sponsors will not be more likely than other sponsors to utilize their rights in bankruptcy in the event of any threatened action by the mortgagee to enforce its rights under the related mortgage loan documents. As a result, the issuing entity’s recovery with respect to borrowers in bankruptcy proceedings may be significantly delayed, and the aggregate amount ultimately collected may be substantially less than the amount owed. See “—Other Financings or Ability To Incur Other Indebtedness Entails Risk” below, “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Loan Purpose; Default History, Bankruptcy Issues and Other Proceedings” and “Certain Legal Aspects of Mortgage Loans—Bankruptcy Laws”.

 

Additionally, the courts of any state may refuse the foreclosure of a mortgage or deed of trust when an acceleration of the indebtedness would be inequitable or unjust or the circumstances would render the action unconscionable. See “Certain Legal Aspects of Mortgage Loans—Foreclosure”.

The mortgaged property identified on Annex A-1 as Marriott Grand Cayman, representing approximately 2.8% of the aggregate principal balance of the pool of mortgage

 

 108

 

 

loans as of the cut-off date, is located in the Cayman Islands. The concept of substantive consolidation is not recognized under the laws of the Cayman Islands. There is some judicial precedent from the courts of the Cayman Islands to disregard the fundamental principle of the separate legal existence of a company in certain circumstances, but such circumstances are generally limited to where a company is being used as a device for an illegal or improper purpose.

 

At origination of the Marriott Grand Cayman mortgage loan, opinions of counsel to the related borrower were delivered concluding on the basis of a reasoned analysis of analogous case law that in the event of a non-Cayman Islands court order declaring the affairs of the related borrower consolidated with the parent entities of the related borrower, and if the matter were properly presented to a Cayman Islands court and the Cayman Islands court correctly applied applicable law to the facts, such order would not in and of itself be recognized by a Cayman Islands court as sufficient basis to lift the corporate veil, and a court having jurisdiction in connection with a Cayman Islands company in liquidation has no power under Cayman Islands law to order that the estate of the related borrower be consolidated with the estate of any other entity or person. These opinions are based on numerous assumptions regarding future actions of the related borrower and its affiliates. We cannot assure you that in the event of the bankruptcy of the parent entities of the related borrower, the assets of the related borrower would not be treated as part of the bankruptcy estates of such parent entities. See “Certain Legal Aspects of Mortgage Loans—Bankruptcy Laws”. In addition, in the event of the institution of voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceedings involving the related borrower and certain of its affiliates, we cannot assure you that a court would not consolidate the respective bankruptcy proceedings as an administrative matter. See “—The Borrower’s Form of Entity May Cause Special Risks” above.

 

Cayman Islands Fraudulent Transfer Considerations

 

With respect to the Marriott Grand Cayman mortgage loan, the related borrower has granted a first priority security interest in the mortgaged property to the lender. Generally, under the laws of the Cayman Islands, the incurrence of an obligation or the transfer of property or an interest in property by a person or entity will be subject to avoidance under certain circumstances if the person or entity (A) transferred such property with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud its creditors or (B) did not receive fair consideration or reasonably equivalent value in exchange for such obligation or transfer and (i) was insolvent or was rendered insolvent by such obligation or transfer, (ii) was engaged in business or a transaction, or was about to engage in business or a transaction, for which any property remaining with the person or entity constituted unreasonably small capital, or (iii) intended to, or believed that it would, incur debts that would be beyond the person’s or entity’s ability to pay as such debts matured. The measure of insolvency will vary depending on the law of the applicable jurisdiction. However, an entity will generally be considered insolvent if the present fair salable value of its assets is less than (x) the sum of its debts and (y) the amount that would be required to pay its probable liabilities on its existing debts as they become absolute and matured.

 

Accordingly, a lien granted by the related borrower to secure the repayment of the mortgage loan could be avoided if a court were to determine that (i) the related borrower was insolvent at the time of granting the lien, was rendered insolvent by the granting of the lien, or was left with inadequate capital, or was not able to pay its debts as they matured and (ii) the related borrower did not, when it allowed its property to be encumbered by a lien securing the entire indebtedness represented by the mortgage loan, receive fair consideration or reasonably equivalent value for pledging its property. We cannot assure

 

 109

 

 

you that a fraudulent transfer challenge would not be made or, if made, that it would not be successful.

 

Among other things, a legal challenge to the granting of a lien and/or the incurrence of an obligation by a borrower may focus on the benefits realized by the related borrower from the mortgage loan proceeds. If a court were to find or conclude that the granting of the liens or the incurrence of the obligations associated with the mortgage loan was an avoidable fraudulent transfer or conveyance with respect to the related borrower, that court could subordinate all or part of the mortgage loan to existing or future indebtedness of the related borrower, recover the payments made under the mortgage loan by the related borrower, or take other actions detrimental to the holders of the certificates, including under certain circumstances, invalidating the mortgage loan or the applicable security instrument securing the mortgage loan.

 

Litigation Regarding the Mortgaged Properties or Borrowers May Impair Your Distributions

 

There may be (and there may exist from time to time) pending or threatened legal proceedings against, or disputes with, the borrowers, the borrower sponsors, the managers of the mortgaged properties and their respective affiliates arising out of their ordinary business. We have not undertaken a search for all legal proceedings that relate to the borrowers, borrower sponsors, managers for the mortgaged properties or their respective affiliates. Potential investors are advised and encouraged to perform their own searches related to such matters to the extent relevant to their investment decision. Any such litigation or dispute may materially impair distributions to certificateholders if borrowers must use property income to pay judgments, legal fees or litigation costs. We cannot assure you that any litigation or dispute or any settlement of any litigation or dispute will not have a material adverse effect on your investment.

 

Additionally, a borrower or a principal of a borrower or affiliate may have been a party to a bankruptcy, foreclosure, litigation or other proceeding, particularly against a lender, or may have been convicted of a crime in the past. In addition, certain of the borrower sponsors, property managers, affiliates of any of the foregoing and/or entities controlled thereby have been a party to bankruptcy proceedings, mortgage loan defaults and restructures, discounted payoffs, foreclosure proceedings or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure transactions, or other material proceedings (including criminal proceedings) in the past, whether or not related to the mortgaged property securing a mortgage loan in this securitization transaction. In some cases, mortgaged properties securing certain of the mortgage loans previously secured other loans that had been in default, restructured or the subject of a discounted payoff, foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure.

 

Certain of the borrower sponsors may have a history of litigation or other proceedings against their lender, in some cases involving various parties to a securitization transaction. We cannot assure you that the borrower sponsors that have engaged in litigation or other proceedings in the past will not commence action against the issuing entity in the future upon any attempt by the special servicer to enforce the mortgage loan documents. Any such actions by the borrower or borrower sponsor may result in significant expense and potential loss to the issuing entity and a shortfall in funds available to make payments on the offered certificates. In addition, certain principals or borrower sponsors may have in the past been convicted of, or pled guilty to, a felony. We cannot assure you that such borrower or principal will not be more likely than other borrowers or principals to avail itself or cause a borrower to avail itself of its legal rights, under the federal bankruptcy code or otherwise, in the event of an action or threatened action by the lender or its servicer to enforce the related mortgage loan documents, or otherwise conduct its operations in a

 

 110

 

 

manner that is in the best interests of the lender and/or the mortgaged property. We cannot assure you that any such proceedings or actions will not have a material adverse effect upon distributions on your certificates. Further, borrowers, principals of borrowers, property managers and affiliates of such parties may, in the future, be involved in bankruptcy proceedings, foreclosure proceedings or other material proceedings (including criminal proceedings), whether or not related to the mortgage loans. We cannot assure you that any such proceedings will not negatively impact a borrower’s or borrower sponsor’s ability to meet its obligations under the related mortgage loan and, as a result could have a material adverse effect upon your certificates.

 

Often it is difficult to confirm the identity of owners of all of the equity in a borrower, which means that past issues may not be discovered as to such owners. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Litigation and Other Considerations” and “—Loan Purpose; Default History, Bankruptcy Issues and Other Proceedings” for additional information on certain mortgage loans in the issuing entity. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that there are no undisclosed bankruptcy proceedings, foreclosure proceedings, deed-in-lieu-of-foreclosure transaction and/or mortgage loan workout matters that involved one or more mortgage loans or mortgaged properties, and/or a guarantor, borrower sponsor or other party to a mortgage loan.

 

In addition, in the event the owner of a borrower experiences financial problems, we cannot assure you that such owner would not attempt to take actions with respect to the mortgaged property that may adversely affect the borrower’s ability to fulfill its obligations under the related mortgage loan. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Litigation and Other Considerations” for information regarding litigation matters with respect to certain mortgage loans.

 

Other Financings or Ability to Incur Other Indebtedness Entails Risk

 

When a borrower (or its constituent members) also has one or more other outstanding loans (even if they are pari passu, subordinated, mezzanine, preferred equity or unsecured loans or another type of equity pledge), the issuing entity is subjected to additional risk such as:

 

the borrower (or its constituent members) may have difficulty servicing and repaying multiple financings;

 

the existence of other financings will generally also make it more difficult for the borrower to obtain refinancing of the related mortgage loan (or whole loan, if applicable) or sell the related mortgaged property and may thereby jeopardize repayment of the mortgage loan (or whole loan, if applicable);

 

the need to service additional financings may reduce the cash flow available to the borrower to operate and maintain the mortgaged property and the value of the mortgaged property may decline as a result;

 

if a borrower (or its constituent members) defaults on its mortgage loan and/or any other financing, actions taken by other lenders such as a suit for collection, foreclosure or an involuntary petition for bankruptcy against the borrower could impair the security available to the issuing entity, including the mortgaged property, or stay the issuing entity’s ability to foreclose during the course of the bankruptcy case;

 

 111

 

 

the bankruptcy of another lender also may operate to stay foreclosure by the issuing entity; and

 

the issuing entity may also be subject to the costs and administrative burdens of involvement in foreclosure or bankruptcy proceedings or related litigation.

 

Although no companion loan related to a whole loan will be an asset of the issuing entity, the related borrower is still obligated to make interest and principal payments on such companion loan. As a result, the issuing entity is subject to additional risks, including:

 

the risk that the necessary maintenance of the related mortgaged property could be deferred to allow the borrower to pay the required debt service on these other obligations and that the value of the mortgaged property may fall as a result; and

 

the risk that it may be more difficult for the borrower to refinance these loans or to sell the related mortgaged property for purposes of making any balloon payment on the entire balance of such loans and the related additional debt at maturity or on the related anticipated repayment date.

 

With respect to mezzanine financing (if any), while a mezzanine lender has no security interest in the related mortgaged properties, a default under a mezzanine loan could cause a change in control of the related borrower. With respect to mortgage loans that permit mezzanine financing, the relative rights of the mortgagee and the related mezzanine lender will generally be set forth in an intercreditor agreement, which agreements typically provide that the rights of the mezzanine lender (including the right to payment) against the borrower and mortgaged property are subordinate to the rights of the mortgage lender and that the mezzanine lender may not take any enforcement action against the mortgage borrower and mortgaged property.

 

In addition, the mortgage loan documents related to certain mortgage loans may have or permit future “preferred equity” structures, where one or more special limited partners or members receive a preferred return in exchange for an infusion of capital or other type of equity pledge that may require payments of a specified return or of excess cash flow. Such arrangements can present risks that resemble mezzanine debt, including dilution of the borrower’s equity in the mortgaged property, stress on the cash flow in the form of a preferred return or excess cash payments, and/or potential changes in the management of the related mortgaged property in the event the preferred return is not satisfied.

 

Additionally, the terms of certain mortgage loans permit or require the borrowers to post letters of credit and/or surety bonds for the benefit of the related mortgage loan, which may constitute a contingent reimbursement obligation of the related borrower or an affiliate. The issuing bank or surety will not typically agree to subordination and standstill protection benefiting the mortgagee.

 

In addition, borrowers under most of the mortgage loans are generally permitted to incur trade payables and equipment financing, which may not be limited or may be significant, in order to operate the related mortgaged properties. Also, with respect to certain mortgage loans the related borrower either has incurred or is permitted to incur unsecured debt from an affiliate of either the borrower or the sponsor of the borrower. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Additional Indebtedness—Other Unsecured Indebtedness”.

 

 112

 

 

For additional information, see “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Additional Indebtedness” and “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans”.

 

Tenancies-in-Common May Hinder Recovery

 

Certain of the mortgage loans included in the issuing entity have borrowers that own the related mortgaged properties as tenants-in-common. In general, with respect to a tenant-in-common ownership structure, each tenant-in-common owns an undivided share in the property and if such tenant-in-common desires to sell its interest in the property (and is unable to find a buyer or otherwise needs to force a partition) the tenant-in-common has the ability to request that a court order a sale of the property and distribute the proceeds to each tenant in common proportionally. As a result, if a tenant-in-common that has not waived its right of partition or similar right exercises a right of partition, the related mortgage loan may be subject to prepayment. The bankruptcy, dissolution or action for partition by one or more of the tenants-in-common could result in an early repayment of the related mortgage loan, significant delay in recovery against the tenant-in-common borrowers, particularly if the tenant-in-common borrowers file for bankruptcy separately or in series (because each time a tenant-in-common borrower files for bankruptcy, the bankruptcy court stay will be reinstated), a material impairment in property management and a substantial decrease in the amount recoverable upon the related mortgage loan. Not all tenants-in-common under the mortgage loans will be single purpose entities. Each tenant-in-common borrower has waived its right to partition, reducing the risk of partition. However, we cannot assure you that, if challenged, this waiver would be enforceable. In addition, in some cases, the related mortgage loan documents may provide for full recourse (or in an amount equal to its pro rata share of the debt) to the related tenant-in-common borrower or the guarantor if a tenant-in-common files for partition. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Mortgage Pool Characteristics—Tenancies-in-Common or Diversified Ownership”.

 

Risks Relating to Enforceability of Cross-Collateralization

 

Cross-collateralization arrangements may be terminated in certain circumstances under the terms of the related mortgage loan documents. Cross-collateralization arrangements whereby multiple borrowers grant their respective mortgaged properties as security for one or more mortgage loans could be challenged as fraudulent conveyances by the creditors or the bankruptcy estate of any of the related borrowers.

 

Among other things, a legal challenge to the granting of the liens may focus on the benefits realized by that borrower from the respective mortgage loan proceeds, as well as the overall cross-collateralization. If a court were to conclude that the granting of the liens was an avoidable fraudulent conveyance, that court could subordinate all or part of the mortgage loan to other debt of that borrower, recover prior payments made on that mortgage loan, or take other actions such as invalidating the mortgage loan or the mortgages securing the cross-collateralization. See “Certain Legal Aspects of Mortgage Loans—Bankruptcy Laws”.

 

In addition, when multiple real properties secure a mortgage loan, the amount of the mortgage encumbering any particular one of those properties may be less than the full amount of the related aggregate mortgage loan indebtedness, to minimize recording tax. This mortgage amount is generally established at 100% to 150% of the appraised value or allocated loan amount for the mortgaged property and will limit the extent to which proceeds from the property will be available to offset declines in value of the other properties securing the same mortgage loan.

 

 113

 

 

See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Mortgage Pool Characteristics” for a description of any mortgage loans that are cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with each other or that are secured by multiple properties owned by multiple borrowers.

 

Risks Relating to Enforceability of Yield Maintenance Charges, Prepayment Premiums or Defeasance Provisions

 

Provisions requiring yield maintenance charges, prepayment premiums or lockout periods may not be enforceable in some states and under federal bankruptcy law. Provisions requiring prepayment premiums or yield maintenance charges also may be interpreted as constituting the collection of interest for usury purposes. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that the obligation to pay a yield maintenance charge or prepayment premium will be enforceable. Also, we cannot assure you that foreclosure proceeds will be sufficient to pay an enforceable yield maintenance charge or prepayment premium.

 

Additionally, although the collateral substitution provisions related to defeasance do not have the same effect on the certificateholders as prepayment, we cannot assure you that a court would not interpret those provisions as the equivalent of a yield maintenance charge or prepayment premium. In certain jurisdictions those collateral substitution provisions might therefore be deemed unenforceable or usurious under applicable law or public policy.

 

Risks Associated with One Action Rules

 

Several states (such as California) have laws that prohibit more than one “judicial action” to enforce a mortgage obligation, and some courts have construed the term “judicial action” broadly. Accordingly, the special servicer will be required to obtain advice of counsel prior to enforcing any of the issuing entity’s rights under any of the mortgage loans that include mortgaged properties where a “one action” rule could be applicable. In the case of a multi-property mortgage loan which is secured by mortgaged properties located in multiple states, the special servicer may be required to foreclose first on properties located in states where “one action” rules apply (and where non-judicial foreclosure is permitted) before foreclosing on properties located in states where judicial foreclosure is the only permitted method of foreclosure. See “Certain Legal Aspects of Mortgage Loans—Foreclosure”.

 

State Law Limitations on Assignments of Leases and Rents May Entail Risks

 

Generally mortgage loans included in an issuing entity secured by mortgaged properties that are subject to leases typically will be secured by an assignment of leases and rents pursuant to which the related borrower (or with respect to any indemnity deed of trust structure, the related property owner) assigns to the lender its right, title and interest as landlord under the leases of the related mortgaged properties, and the income derived from those leases, as further security for the related mortgage loan, while retaining a license to collect rents for so long as there is no default. If the borrower defaults, the license terminates and the lender is entitled to collect rents. Some state laws may require that the lender take possession of the related property and obtain a judicial appointment of a receiver before becoming entitled to collect the rents. In addition, if bankruptcy or similar proceedings are commenced by or in respect of the borrower, the lender’s ability to collect the rents may be adversely affected. See “Certain Legal Aspects of Mortgage Loans—Leases and Rents” and “—Bankruptcy Laws”.

 

 114

 

 

Various Other Laws Could Affect the Exercise of Lender’s Rights

 

The laws of the jurisdictions in which the mortgaged properties are located (which laws may vary substantially) govern many of the legal aspects of the mortgage loans. These laws may affect the ability to foreclose on, and, in turn the ability to realize value from, the mortgaged properties securing the mortgage loans. For example, state law determines:

 

what proceedings are required for foreclosure;

 

whether the borrower and any foreclosed junior lienors may redeem the property and the conditions under which these rights of redemption may be exercised;

 

whether and to what extent recourse to the borrower is permitted; and

 

what rights junior mortgagees have and whether the amount of fees and interest that lenders may charge is limited.

 

In addition, the laws of some jurisdictions may render certain provisions of the mortgage loans unenforceable or subject to limitations which may affect lender’s rights under the mortgage loans. Delays in liquidations of defaulted mortgage loans and shortfalls in amounts realized upon liquidation as a result of the application of these laws may create delays and shortfalls in payments to certificateholders. See “Certain Legal Aspects of Mortgage Loans”.

 

The Absence of Lockboxes Entails Risks That Could Adversely Affect Distributions on Your Certificates

 

Certain of the mortgage loans may not require the related borrower to cause rent and other payments to be made into a lockbox account maintained on behalf of the mortgagee, although some of those mortgage loans do provide for a springing lockbox. If rental payments are not required to be made directly into a lockbox account, there is a risk that the borrower will divert such funds for other purposes.

 

Risks of Anticipated Repayment Date Loans

 

Certain of the mortgage loans provide that, if after a certain date (referred to as the anticipated repayment date) the related borrower has not prepaid the mortgage loan in full, any principal outstanding after that anticipated repayment date will accrue interest at an increased interest rate rather than the stated mortgage loan rate. Generally, from and after the anticipated repayment date, cash flow in excess of that required for debt service, the funding of reserves and certain approved operating expenses with respect to the related mortgaged property will be applied toward the payment of principal (without payment of a yield maintenance charge) of the related mortgage loan until its principal balance has been reduced to zero. Although these provisions may create an incentive for the borrower to repay the mortgage loan in full on its anticipated repayment date, a substantial payment would be required and the borrower has no obligation to do so. While interest at the initial mortgage rate continues to accrue and be payable on a current basis on the mortgage loan after its anticipated repayment date, the payment of excess interest will be deferred and will be required to be paid only after the outstanding principal balance of the related mortgage loan has been paid in full, at which time the excess interest that has been deferred, to the extent actually collected, will be paid to the holders of the Class Z certificates, which are not offered by this prospectus. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Certain Terms of the Mortgage Loans—ARD Loans”.

 

 115

 

 

Borrower May Be Unable To Repay Remaining Principal Balance on Maturity Date or Anticipated Repayment Date; Longer Amortization Schedules and Interest-Only Provisions Increase Risk

 

Mortgage loans with substantial remaining principal balances at their stated maturity date or on the related anticipated repayment date, as applicable, involve greater risk than fully-amortizing mortgage loans because the borrower may be unable to repay the mortgage loan at that time. In addition, fully amortizing mortgage loans which may pay interest on an “actual/360” basis but have fixed monthly payments may, in effect, have a small balloon payment due at maturity.

 

Most of the mortgage loans have amortization schedules that are significantly longer than their respective terms to maturity or anticipated repayment date, as applicable, and many of the mortgage loans require only payments of interest for part or all of their respective terms. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Certain Terms of the Mortgage Loans—Due Dates; Mortgage Rates; Calculations of Interest”. A longer amortization schedule or an interest-only provision in a mortgage loan will result in a higher amount of principal outstanding under the mortgage loan at any particular time, including at the maturity date or on the related anticipated repayment date, than would have otherwise been the case had a shorter amortization schedule been used or had the mortgage loan had a shorter interest-only period or not included an interest-only provision at all. That higher principal amount outstanding could both (i) make it more difficult for the related borrower to make the required balloon payment at maturity or to repay the outstanding principal amount at the anticipated repayment date and (ii) lead to increased losses for the issuing entity either during the loan term or at maturity or anticipated repayment date if the mortgage loan becomes a defaulted mortgage loan.

 

A borrower’s ability to repay a mortgage loan on its stated maturity date or anticipated repayment date, as applicable, typically will depend upon its ability either to refinance the mortgage loan or to sell the mortgaged property at a price sufficient to permit repayment. A borrower’s ability to achieve either of these goals will be affected by a number of factors, including:

 

the availability of, and competition for, credit for commercial, multifamily or manufactured housing community real estate projects, which fluctuate over time;

 

the prevailing interest rates;

 

the net operating income generated by the mortgaged property;

 

the fair market value of the related mortgaged property;

 

the borrower’s equity in the related mortgaged property;

 

significant tenant rollover at the related mortgaged properties (see “—Retail Properties Have Special Risks” and “—Office Properties Have Special Risks” above);

 

the borrower’s financial condition;

 

the operating history and occupancy level of the mortgaged property;

 

reductions in applicable government assistance/rent subsidy programs;

 

the tax laws; and

 

 116

 

 

prevailing general and regional economic conditions.

 

With respect to any mortgage loan that is part of a whole loan, the risks relating to balloon payment obligations are enhanced by the existence and amount of any related companion loan.

 

None of the sponsors, any party to the pooling and servicing agreement or any other person will be under any obligation to refinance any mortgage loan. However, in order to maximize recoveries on defaulted mortgage loans, the pooling and servicing agreement permits the special servicer (and the pooling and servicing agreement governing the servicing of a non-serviced whole loan may permit the related special servicer) to extend and modify mortgage loans in a manner consistent with the servicing standard, subject to the limitations described under “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Realization Upon Mortgage Loans” and “—Modifications, Waivers and Amendments”.

 

Neither the master servicer nor the special servicer will have the ability to extend or modify a non-serviced mortgage loan because such mortgage loan is being serviced by the master servicer or special servicer pursuant to the pooling and servicing agreement governing the servicing of the applicable non-serviced whole loan. See “Pooling and Servicing AgreementServicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans”.

 

We cannot assure you that any extension or modification will increase the present value of recoveries in a given case. Whether or not losses are ultimately sustained, any delay in collection of a balloon payment that would otherwise be distributable on your certificates, whether such delay is due to borrower default or to modification of the related mortgage loan, will likely extend the weighted average life of your certificates.

 

In any event, we cannot assure you that each borrower under a balloon loan will have the ability to repay the principal balance of such mortgage loan on the related maturity date or anticipated repayment date, as applicable.

 

See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Mortgage Pool Characteristics”.

 

Risks Related to Ground Leases and Other Leasehold Interests

 

With respect to certain mortgaged properties, the encumbered interest will be characterized as a “fee interest” if (i) the borrower has a fee interest in all or substantially all of the mortgaged property (provided that if the borrower has a leasehold interest in any portion of the mortgaged property, such portion is not material to the use or operation of the mortgaged property), or (ii) the mortgage loan is secured by the borrower’s leasehold interest in the mortgaged property as well as the borrower’s (or other fee owner’s) overlapping fee interest in the related mortgaged property.

 

Leasehold mortgage loans are subject to certain risks not associated with mortgage loans secured by a lien on the fee estate of the borrower. The most significant of these risks is that if the related borrower’s leasehold were to be terminated upon a lease default, the lender would lose its security in the leasehold interest. Generally, each related ground lease or a lessor estoppel requires the lessor to give the lender notice of the borrower’s defaults under the ground lease and an opportunity to cure them, permits the leasehold interest to be assigned to the lender or the purchaser at a foreclosure sale, in some cases only upon the consent of the lessor, and contains certain other protective provisions typically included in a “mortgageable” ground lease, although not all these protective provisions are included in each case.

 

 117

 

 

Upon the bankruptcy of a lessor or a lessee under a ground lease, the debtor has the right to assume or reject the lease. If a debtor lessor rejects the lease, the lessee has the right pursuant to the federal bankruptcy code to treat such lease as terminated by rejection or remain in possession of its leased premises for the rent otherwise payable under the lease for the remaining term of the ground lease (including renewals) and to offset against such rent any damages incurred due to the landlord’s failure to perform its obligations under the lease. If a debtor lessee/borrower rejects any or all of the lease, the leasehold lender could succeed to the lessee/borrower’s position under the lease only if the lease specifically grants the lender such right. If both the lessor and the lessee/borrower are involved in bankruptcy proceedings, the issuing entity may be unable to enforce the bankrupt lessee/borrower’s pre-petition agreement to refuse to treat a ground lease rejected by a bankrupt lessor as terminated. In such circumstances, a ground lease could be terminated notwithstanding lender protection provisions contained in the ground lease or in the mortgage.

 

Some of the ground leases securing the mortgage loans may provide that the ground rent payable under the related ground lease increases during the term of the mortgage loan. These increases may adversely affect the cash flow and net income of the related borrower.

 

A leasehold lender could lose its security unless (i) the leasehold lender holds a fee mortgage, (ii) the ground lease requires the lessor to enter into a new lease with the leasehold lender upon termination or rejection of the ground lease, or (iii) the bankruptcy court, as a court of equity, allows the leasehold lender to assume the ground lessee’s obligations under the ground lease and succeed to the ground lessee’s position. Although not directly covered by the 1994 amendments to the federal bankruptcy code, such a result would be consistent with the purpose of the 1994 amendments to the federal bankruptcy code granting the holders of leasehold mortgages permitted under the terms of the lease the right to succeed to the position of a leasehold mortgagor. Although consistent with the federal bankruptcy code, such position may not be adopted by the applicable bankruptcy court.

 

Further, in a decision by the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit (Precision Indus. v. Qualitech Steel SBQ, LLC, 327 F.3d 537 (7th Cir. 2003)) the court ruled with respect to an unrecorded lease of real property that where a statutory sale of the fee interest in leased property occurs under the federal bankruptcy code upon the bankruptcy of a landlord, such sale terminates a lessee’s possessory interest in the property, and the purchaser assumes title free and clear of any interest, including any leasehold estates. Pursuant to the federal bankruptcy code, a lessee may request the bankruptcy court to prohibit or condition the statutory sale of the property so as to provide adequate protection of the leasehold interest; however, the court ruled that this provision does not ensure continued possession of the property, but rather entitles the lessee to compensation for the value of its leasehold interest, typically from the sale proceeds. While there are certain circumstances under which a “free and clear” sale under the federal bankruptcy code would not be authorized (including that the lessee could not be compelled in a legal or equitable proceeding to accept a monetary satisfaction of his possessory interest, and that none of the other conditions of the federal bankruptcy code otherwise permits the sale), we cannot assure you that those circumstances would be present in any proposed sale of a leased premises. As a result, we cannot assure you that, in the event of a statutory sale of leased property pursuant to the federal bankruptcy code, the lessee will be able to maintain possession of the property under the ground lease. In addition, we cannot assure you that the lessee and/or the lender will be able to recoup the full value of the leasehold interest in bankruptcy court. Most of the ground leases contain standard protections typically obtained

 

 118

 

 

by securitization lenders. Certain of the ground leases with respect to a mortgage loan included in the issuing entity may not. See also representation and warranty no. 34 on Annex D-1 and the exceptions thereto on Annex D-2 (subject to the limitations and qualifications set forth in the preamble to Annex D-1).

 

Except as noted in this prospectus, each of the ground leases has a term that extends at least 20 years beyond the maturity date of the mortgage loan (taking into account all freely exercisable extension options) and contains customary mortgagee protection provisions, including notice and cure rights and the right to enter into a new lease with the applicable ground lessor in the event a ground lease is rejected or terminated.

 

With respect to certain of the mortgage loans, the related borrower may have given to certain lessors under the related ground lease a right of first refusal in the event a sale is contemplated or an option to purchase all or a portion of the mortgaged property and these provisions, if not waived, may impede the mortgagee’s ability to sell the related mortgaged property at foreclosure or adversely affect the foreclosure process.

 

See “Certain Legal Aspects of Mortgage Loans—Bankruptcy Laws”. See also “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Mortgage Pool Characteristics—Fee & Leasehold Estates; Ground Leases”.

 

Increases in Real Estate Taxes May Reduce Available Funds

 

Certain of the mortgaged properties securing the mortgage loans have or may in the future have the benefit of reduced real estate taxes in connection with a local government “payment in lieu of taxes” program or other tax abatement arrangements. Upon expiration of such program or if such programs were otherwise terminated, the related borrower would be required to pay higher, and in some cases substantially higher, real estate taxes. Prior to expiration of such program, the tax benefit to the mortgaged property may decrease throughout the term of the expiration date until the expiration of such program. An increase in real estate taxes may impact the ability of the borrower to pay debt service on the mortgage loan.

 

See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Real Estate and Other Tax Considerations” for descriptions of real estate tax matters relating to certain mortgaged properties.

 

Risks Relating to Tax Credits

 

With respect to certain mortgage loans secured by multifamily properties, the related property owners may be entitled to receive low-income housing tax credits pursuant to Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which provides a tax credit from the state tax credit allocating agency to owners of multifamily rental properties meeting the definition of low-income housing. The total amount of tax credits to which a property owner is entitled is generally based upon the percentage of total units made available to qualified tenants. The owners of the mortgaged properties subject to the tax credit provisions may use the tax credits to offset income tax that they may otherwise owe, and the tax credits may be shared among the equity owners of the project. In general, the tax credits on the applicable mortgage loans will be allocated to equity investors in the borrower.

 

The tax credit provisions limit the gross rent for each low-income unit. Under the tax credit provisions, a property owner must comply with the tenant income restrictions and rental restrictions over a minimum 15-year compliance period, although the property owner may take the tax credits on an accelerated basis over a 10-year period. In the event a

 

 119

 

 

multifamily rental property does not maintain compliance with the tax credit restrictions on tenant income or rental rates or otherwise satisfy the tax credit provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the property owner may suffer a reduction in the amount of available tax credits and/or face the recapture of all or part of the tax credits related to the period of noncompliance and face the partial recapture of previously taken tax credits. The loss of tax credits, and the possibility of recapture of tax credits already taken, may provide significant incentive for the property owner to keep the related multifamily rental property in compliance with these tax credit restrictions, which may limit the income derived from the related property.

 

If the issuing entity were to foreclose on such a property it would be unable to take advantage of the tax credits, but could sell the property with the right to the remaining credits to a tax paying investor. Any subsequent property owner would continue to be subject to rent limitations unless an election was made to terminate the tax credits, in which case the property could be operated as a market rate property after the expiration of three years. The limitations on rent and on the ability of potential buyers to take advantage of the tax credits may limit the issuing entity’s recovery on that property.

 

State and Local Mortgage Recording Taxes May Apply Upon a Foreclosure or Deed-in-Lieu of Foreclosure and Reduce Net Proceeds

 

Many jurisdictions impose recording taxes on mortgages which, if not paid at the time of the recording of the mortgage, may impair the ability of the lender to foreclose the mortgage. Such taxes, interest, and penalties could be significant in amount and would, if imposed, reduce the net proceeds realized by the issuing entity in liquidating the real property securing the related mortgage loan.

 

Delaware Statutory Trusts

 

Certain of the mortgage loans included in the issuing entity have borrowers that each own the related mortgaged properties as a Delaware statutory trust. A Delaware statutory trust is restricted in its ability to actively operate a property. Accordingly, the related borrower generally master leases the related property to a newly formed, single-purpose entity that is wholly owned by the same entity that owns the signatory trustee or manager for the related borrower. Such master leases are further generally collaterally assigned to the lender and subordinated to the related mortgage loan documents. In the case of a Mortgaged Property that is owned by a Delaware statutory trust, there is a risk that obtaining the consent of the holders of the beneficial interests in the Delaware statutory trust will be time consuming and cause delays with respect to the taking of certain actions by or on behalf of the borrower, including with respect to the related Mortgaged Property.

 

Risks Associated with the 237 Park Avenue Mortgage Loan

 

Risks Associated with Building Loans

 

The building loan (the “Building Loan”), which is part of the 237 Park Avenue whole loan, is secured by the mortgaged property and $81,365,605 in reserve funds (the “Building Loan Reserve Funds”) that the 237 Park Avenue borrower was required to reserve at origination. The Building Loan Reserve Funds will be disbursed to the 237 Park Avenue borrower as progress payments and upon the completion of certain improvements at the 237 Park Avenue mortgaged property and include leasing expenses incurred or otherwise required to be paid by the 237 Park Avenue borrower or the condominium board in connection with the NYPH Transaction documents and the lease to Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Canada and capital expenses. The lender has a first priority lien on the Building Loan Reserve

 

 120

 

 

Funds. New York Lien Law provides that if a building loan contract is not timely and properly filed, then the loan will be subordinate to any subsequent mechanic’s lien creditors. Due to such lien law requirements, the Building Loan that relates solely to funds to be used for improvements was created to comply with New York lien law. Under the Building Loan, once Building Loan Reserve Funds are advanced in accordance with the requirements of the building loan agreement, such advanced funds will be superior to any subsequent mechanic’s lien creditors. We cannot assure you that any of the Building Loan Reserve Funds will not be susceptible to being primed by mechanic’s lien creditors. We also cannot assure you that the Building Loan Reserve Funds will be disbursed in accordance with the building loan agreement as to ensure that the Building Loan retains lien priority.

 

Risks Associated with the New York and Presbyterian Hospital Transaction

 

The 237 Park Avenue whole loan is secured by, among other things, (i) the fee interest in the 237 Park Avenue building owned by 237 Park Owner LLC (the “237 Park Avenue Fee Borrower”), (ii) the interest in the leasehold condominium units owned by 237 Park LH Owner LLC (the “237 Park Avenue Declarant Borrower”, together with the 237 Park Avenue Fee Borrower, the “237 Park Avenue Borrower”), (iii) the rents generated by leases at the 237 Park Avenue mortgaged property and (iv) the 237 Park Avenue Declarant Borrower’s interest in the NYPH Note and NYPH Mortgage resulting from the NYPH Transaction (each as described below).

 

Prior to origination of the 237 Park Avenue Whole Loan, the 237 Park Avenue Declarant Borrower sold (the “NYPH Transaction”) approximately 38.3% of the net rentable area at the 237 Park Avenue building to The New York and Presbyterian Hospital (“NYPH”). In connection with the closing of such purchase, NYPH executed a purchase money promissory note (the “NYPH Note”) payable to the 237 Park Avenue Declarant Borrower, in the original principal amount of $249,868,289. The NYPH Note is secured by, among other things, the related mortgage, security agreement, assignment of rents and leases and fixture filing (the “NYPH Mortgage”), given by NYPH, as mortgagor, in favor of the 237 Park Avenue Declarant Borrower, as mortgagee, encumbering the units that NYPH purchased (such units collectively, the “NYPH Unit”) and all rents and leases generated thereby. NYPH makes monthly payments to the 237 Park Avenue Declarant Borrower pursuant to the NYPH Note.

 

The structure created related to the NYPH Transaction may cause supplemental risk with respect to the income produced by the 237 Park Avenue Property. NYPH’s interest in the NYPH Unit has been structured as a purchase of an ownership interest in a leasehold condominium unit. We cannot assure you whether the structure will be treated as a financing transaction or lease in a bankruptcy proceeding. Financing transactions and leases are treated differently under the Bankruptcy Code. A bankruptcy filing or insolvency of NYPH may have an adverse impact on the 237 Park Avenue mortgaged property and the income produced by the 237 Park Avenue mortgaged property and such adverse impact may be greater if the NYPH Transaction related transactions are treated as a financing transaction rather than a lease.

 

In a bankruptcy proceeding, the applicable bankruptcy court will likely be asked to analyze NYPH’s occupancy of the NYPH Unit and the NYPH Mortgage and the NYPH Note and the related transactions to determine whether such arrangement should be characterized as a financing or lease under the federal bankruptcy law. In bankruptcy cases, bankruptcy courts frequently analyze structured transactions to determine how they should be treated under the federal bankruptcy law. In reviewing these transactions, bankruptcy courts analyze the facts and circumstances of each case, focusing on the economic substance of the transaction. Factors utilized by courts in determining whether a transaction should be treated as a lease or a financing may include: (i) whether the term of the occupancy is

 

 121

 

 

equal or greater than the economic life of the asset; (ii) whether the payments required were calculated to compensate the lessor/seller for the use of the land or were structured for some other purpose; (iii) whether the present value of the payments is equivalent to the fair market value of the property; (iv) whether the agreement includes a provision requiring the counterparty to purchase the property for a nominal sum at the end of the applicable period; (v) whether the agreement includes a purchase option wherein the price is equivalent to the anticipated fair market value; (vi) whether the property was purchased exclusively for the tenant/occupier’s use; (vii) whether the transaction was structured to take advantage of favorable tax treatments; and (viii) whether the counterparty assumed many of the obligations normally associated with ownership. We cannot assure you how NYPH’s occupancy of the NYPH Unit and the NYPH Mortgage and the NYPH Note and the related transactions will be characterized by a bankruptcy court and, thus, whether it will be treated as a financing or lease transaction.

 

The filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against NYPH may indirectly result in the stay of an action by the lender against or with respect to the 237 Park Avenue mortgaged property, including the commencement or continuation of a foreclosure action against the 237 Park Avenue mortgaged property, because any such enforcement action by the lender under the 237 Park Avenue mortgage loan documents could result in termination of the condominium and, thus, a termination of NYPH’s right to occupy the NYPH Unit. Consequently, if NYPH is the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding, the lender may be precluded from foreclosing on the 237 Park Avenue whole loan because of the related effect this could have on NYPH’s interest in, and occupancy of, the NYPH Unit.

 

If NYPH is the subject of a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding, the NYPH Mortgage and the NYPH Note and the related transactions may be characterized as a lease, and NYPH’s interest in the NYPH Unit may be treated as that of a tenant. Alternatively, if NYPH is the subject of a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding, the NYPH Mortgage and the NYPH Note and the related transactions may alternatively be characterized as a financing. The characterization of the NYPH Mortgage and the NYPH Note and related transactions as a financing in a bankruptcy case could interfere with and delay the ability to obtain payments on the NYPH Note, the 237 Park Avenue Declarant Borrower’s ability to foreclose on the NYPH Unit and/or enforce a deficiency judgment against NYPH. In addition, if a court determines that the value of the NYPH Unit is less than the principal balance of the NYPH Note, the court may reduce the amount of secured indebtedness to the then-current value of the NYPH Unit. Such an action would make the 237 Park Avenue Declarant Borrower a general unsecured creditor of NYPH for the difference between the then-current value of the NYPH Unit and the amount of the outstanding indebtedness under the NYPH Note. A bankruptcy court also may:

 

grant NYPH a reasonable time to cure a payment default on the NYPH Note;

 

reduce monthly payments due under the NYPH Note;

 

reduce the amount of principal due and owing under the NYPH Note;

 

change the rate of interest due on the NYPH Note; or

 

otherwise alter the terms of the NYPH Note, including the repayment schedule.

 

Additionally, the trustee of NYPH’s bankruptcy estate or NYPH, as debtor-in-possession, would have special powers to avoid, subordinate or disallow debts. In some circumstances, the claims of the 237 Park Avenue Declarant Borrower (as the lender under the NYPH Note)

 

 122

 

 

may be subordinated to financing obtained by NYPH as a debtor-in-possession subsequent to its bankruptcy.

 

As a result of the foregoing, the recovery by the 237 Park Avenue Declarant Borrower with respect to the NYPH Note, if NYPH becomes the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding, may be significantly delayed, and the aggregate amount ultimately collected may be substantially less than the amount owed under the NYPH Mortgage and the NYPH Note.

 

In view of the effect of a NYPH bankruptcy filing, certain of the NYPH Transaction documents contain provisions to mitigate the risks of a voluntary bankruptcy filing by NYPH and the impact of a NYPH bankruptcy filing. For example, under the NYPH Transaction documents, (i) the NYPH Note provide that a Vacate Date will occur immediately upon the date on which written notice of a “Bankruptcy Default” and the 237 Park Avenue Declarant Borrower’s intention to exercise its remedies (i.e., delivery of a termination notice) is given to NYPH; (ii) upon the occurrence of a Vacate Date, the restrictions on the 237 Park Avenue Fee Borrower’s right to terminate the ground lease no longer apply; and (iii) upon and following a Vacate Date, the 237 Park Avenue Borrower is authorized to exercise all of the condominium board’s and 237 Park Avenue Declarant Borrower’s rights and remedies under the NYPH Transaction Documents which are separate from all of 237 Park Avenue Fee Borrower’s rights and remedies under the ground lease. “Vacate Date” means the date which is the earliest to occur of (i) the 237 Park Avenue Whole Loan maturity date, (ii) the Default Maturity Date (as defined in the NYPH Note), (iii) the Termination Date (as defined in the condominium documents), (iv) the conveyance of all of the NYPH Unit to the 237 Park Avenue Declarant Borrower and (v) the date of the termination of the condominium pursuant to the condominium documents.

 

Notwithstanding the attempts to mitigate the risks of a NYPH bankruptcy proceeding, we cannot assure you that (i) NYPH has complied or will comply with these provisions, (ii) NYPH will not become subject to a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding or (iii) a Vacate Date will occur prior to NYPH becoming subject to a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding. If NYPH were to be in bankruptcy before the occurrence of the Vacate Date, the bankruptcy court could prevent the occurrence of the Vacate Date and, thus restrict the 237 Park Avenue Borrower’s ability to exercise remedies against NYPH to recover the NYPH Unit or otherwise.

 

Enforcement Action Against NYPH

 

Any enforcement of remedies by the 237 Park Avenue Declarant Borrower against NYPH in connection with the NYPH Transaction documents and/or the condominium documents in the event of a default by NYPH or otherwise, whether to recover possession and/or title to the NYPH Unit, to foreclose the NYPH Mortgage, or to seek recovery of a money judgment under the NYPH Note and/or the related supplemental agreement, could be complicated, hindered or delayed given the structure and complexity of the transactions embodied and/or contemplated by the NYPH Transaction documents.

 

For instance, if the 237 Park Avenue Declarant Borrower sought to pursue remedies under the NYPH Transaction documents and/or the condominium documents seeking the forced reconveyance of the NYPH Unit to the 237 Park Avenue Declarant Borrower or if the 237 Park Avenue Fee Borrower seeks to terminate the ground lease, in each case, upon the occurrence of the Vacate Date, NYPH could raise legal and equitable defenses in such a proceeding based on the NYPH Transaction documents and the condominium documents under New York law. By way of further illustration, if the 237 Park Avenue Declarant Borrower sought to recover possession of the NYPH Unit in an action for specific performance under the NYPH Transaction documents and the condominium documents,

 

 123

 

 

NYPH could argue in its defense, among other things, that specific performance is not available as a remedy to the 237 Park Avenue Declarant Borrower, that the court should treat the NYPH Transaction as a true sale-and-financing rather than as a lease, and that the court should require the 237 Park Avenue Declarant Borrower to prosecute a foreclosure action in order to recover ownership and/possession of the NYPH Unit pursuant to and in accordance with the NYPH Mortgage. This could require the court to adjudicate, among other things, the manner in which to characterize the NYPH Transaction and the potential defenses that NYPH may assert in any action to enforce the NYPH Transaction documents and/or the condominium documents—likely causing additional litigation, delay and expense. Further, given that a court likely will not have any familiarity with the NYPH Transaction and, by extension, the 237 Park Avenue Declarant Borrower’s right to enforce remedies in connection therewith, this creates uncertainty in the outcome. In addition, foreclosures in New York courts can take between 2 to 4 years to complete and therefore foreclosure of the NYPH Mortgage would likely take longer and be more expensive than a proceeding for forced reconveyance of the NYPH Unit.

 

Bankruptcy Preference Risks

 

In a bankruptcy or similar proceeding involving the 237 Park Avenue Borrower or an affiliate of the 237 Park Avenue Borrower, action may be taken seeking recovery as a preferential transfer of any payments made by such 237 Park Avenue Borrower under the 237 Park Avenue Whole Loan or to avoid the granting of liens in the transaction within certain pre-petition periods by the 237 Park Avenue Borrower “on account of antecedent debt.” The preference period is 90 days for non-insiders of the bankrupt party and one year for insiders. With respect to $178,599,900 of the senior loan, the mortgage was not recorded in connection with the closing of the original loan but was instead recorded in connection with the closing of the amended and restated loan. We cannot assure you that the 237 Park Avenue Borrower will not commence a bankruptcy case within the preference period or that a preference challenge in such a case would not be made or, if made, would not be successful.

 

Risks Related to Conflicts of Interest

 

Interests and Incentives of the Originators, the Sponsors and Their Affiliates May Not Be Aligned With Your Interests

 

The originators, the sponsors and their affiliates (including certain of the underwriters) expect to derive ancillary benefits from this offering and their respective incentives may not be aligned with those of purchasers of the offered certificates. The sponsors originated or purchased the mortgage loans in order to securitize the mortgage loans by means of a transaction such as the offering of the offered certificates. The sponsors will sell the mortgage loans to the depositor (an affiliate of UBS AG, New York Branch, one of the sponsors and originators, and of UBS Securities LLC, one of the underwriters) on the closing date in exchange for cash, derived from the sale of the offered certificates to investors and/or in exchange for offered certificates. A completed offering would reduce the originators’ exposure to the mortgage loans. The originators made the mortgage loans with a view toward securitizing them and distributing the exposure by means of a transaction such as this offering of offered certificates. In addition, certain mortgaged properties may have tenants that are affiliated with the related originator. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Tenant Issues—Affiliated Leases”. This offering of offered certificates will effectively transfer the originators’ exposure to the mortgage loans to purchasers of the offered certificates.

 

 124

 

 

The originators, the sponsors and their affiliates expect to receive various benefits, including compensation, commissions, payments, rebates, remuneration and business opportunities, in connection with or as a result of this offering of offered certificates and their interests in the mortgage loans. The sponsors and their affiliates will effectively receive compensation, and may record a profit, in an amount based on, among other things, the amount of proceeds (net of transaction expenses) received from the sale of the offered certificates to investors relative to their investment in the mortgage loans. The benefits to the originators, the sponsors and their affiliates arising from the decision to securitize the mortgage loans may be greater than they would have been had other assets been selected.

 

Furthermore, the sponsors and/or their affiliates may benefit from a completed offering of the offered certificates because the offering would establish a market precedent and a valuation data point for securities similar to the offered certificates, thus enhancing the ability of the sponsors and their affiliates to conduct similar offerings in the future and permitting them to adjust the fair value of the mortgage loans or other similar assets or securities held on their balance sheet, including increasing the carrying value or avoiding decreasing the carrying value of some or all of such similar positions.

 

In some cases, the originators, the sponsors or their affiliates are the holders of the mezzanine loans, subordinate loans, unsecured loans and/or companion loans related to their mortgage loans. The originators, the sponsors and/or their respective affiliates may retain existing mezzanine loans, subordinate loans, unsecured loans and/or companion loans or originate future permitted mezzanine indebtedness, subordinate indebtedness or unsecured indebtedness with respect to the mortgage loans. These transactions may cause the originators, the sponsors and their affiliates or their clients or counterparties who purchase the mezzanine loans, subordinate loans, unsecured loans and/or companion loans, as applicable, to have economic interests and incentives that do not align with, and that may be directly contrary to, those of an investor in the offered certificates. In addition, these transactions or actions taken to maintain, adjust or unwind any positions in the future, may, individually or in the aggregate, have a material effect on the market for the offered certificates (if any), including adversely affecting the value of the offered certificates, particularly in illiquid markets. The originators, the sponsors and their affiliates will have no obligation to take, refrain from taking or cease taking any action with respect to such companion loans or any existing or future mezzanine loans, subordinate loans and/or unsecured loans, based on the potential effect on an investor in the offered certificates, and may receive substantial returns from these transactions. In addition, the originators, the sponsors or any of their respective affiliates may benefit from certain relationships, including financial dealings, with any borrower, any non-recourse carveout guarantor or any of their respective affiliates, aside from the origination of mortgage loans or contribution of mortgage loans into this securitization, and they may have other financing arrangements with any borrower, any non-recourse carveout guarantor or any of their respective affiliates, including, without limitation, making loans or having other financing arrangements secured by indirect ownership interests in the mortgage loan borrowers not otherwise prohibited by the terms of the mortgage loan documents. Conflicts may also arise because the sponsors and their respective affiliates intend to continue to actively acquire, develop, operate, finance and dispose of real estate-related assets in the ordinary course of their businesses. During the course of their business activities, the sponsors and their respective affiliates may acquire, sell or lease properties, or finance loans secured by properties, which may include the properties securing the mortgage loans or properties that are in the same markets as the mortgaged properties. Such other properties, similar to other third-party owned real estate, may compete with the mortgaged properties for existing and potential tenants. The sponsors may also, from time to time, be among the

 

 125

 

 

tenants at the mortgaged properties, and they should be expected to make occupancy-related decisions based on their self-interest and not that of the issuing entity. We cannot assure you that the activities of these parties with respect to such other properties will not adversely impact the performance of the mortgaged properties.

 

In addition, certain of the mortgage loans included in the issuing entity may have been refinancings of debt previously held by a sponsor, an originator or one of their respective affiliates, or a sponsor, an originator or one of their respective affiliates may have or have had equity investments in the borrowers or mortgaged properties under certain of the mortgage loans included in the issuing entity. Each of the sponsors, the originators and their respective affiliates have made and/or may make loans to, or equity investments in, affiliates of the borrowers under the related mortgage loans. In the circumstances described above, the interests of the sponsors, the originators and their respective affiliates may differ from, and compete with, the interests of the issuing entity.

 

Further, various originators, sponsors and their respective affiliates are acting in multiple capacities in or with respect to this transaction, which may include, without limitation, acting as one or more transaction parties or a subcontractor or vendor of such party, participating in or contracting for interim servicing and/or custodial services with certain transaction parties, and/or conducting due diligence on behalf of an investor with respect to the mortgage loans prior to their transfer to the issuing entity.

 

In addition, affiliates of Ladder Capital Finance LLC, a mortgage loan seller and sponsor, are the respective borrowers with respect to the mortgage loans identified on Annex A-1 as TransUnion Office Building and Dollar General Aroma Park, respectively, collectively representing approximately 0.9% of the aggregate principal balance of the pool of mortgage loans as of the cut-off date. The interests of such borrowers may conflict with the interests of the certificateholders, and Ladder Capital Finance LLC has no obligation to act in the best interest of the certificateholders. In addition, there can be no assurance that the related mortgage loans do not contain terms less favorable to the lender (and consequently, to the investors) than loans that were not made to affiliates of the sponsor.

 

Each of these relationships may create a conflict of interest.

 

For a description of certain of the foregoing relationships and arrangements that exist among the parties to this securitization, see “Certain Affiliations, Relationships And Related Transactions Involving Transaction Parties” and “Transaction Parties”.

 

These roles and other potential relationships may give rise to conflicts of interest as described in “—Interests and Incentives of the Underwriter Entities May Not Be Aligned With Your Interests”, “—Potential Conflicts of Interest in the Selection of the Underlying Mortgage Loans” and “—Other Potential Conflicts of Interest May Affect Your Investment” below. Each of the foregoing relationships and related interests should be considered carefully by you before you invest in any offered certificates.

 

The Servicing of the Servicing Shift Whole Loans Will Shift to Other Servicers

 

The servicing of each of the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers whole loan, the Centre 425 Bellevue whole loan, the National Office Portfolio whole loan, the Totowa Commerce Center whole loan, the Bass Pro & Cabela’s Portfolio whole loan, the Hyatt Regency Princeton whole loan, the At Home Portfolio whole loan and the Murrieta Plaza whole loan, each a servicing shift whole loan, is expected to be governed by the pooling and servicing agreement for this securitization only temporarily, until the related servicing shift securitization date. On the related servicing shift securitization date, the servicing and administration of a servicing

 

 126

 

 

shift whole loan will shift to the applicable master servicer and the applicable special servicer under the related servicing shift pooling and servicing agreement and will be governed exclusively by such servicing shift pooling and servicing agreement and the related intercreditor agreement. Neither the closing date of any such securitization nor the identity of any such servicing shift master servicer or servicing shift special servicer has been determined. In addition, the provisions of the servicing shift pooling and servicing agreements have not yet been determined. Prospective investors should be aware that they will not have any control over the identity of any servicing shift master servicer or servicing shift special servicer, nor will they have any assurance as to the particular terms of the servicing shift pooling and servicing agreements except to the extent of compliance with any requirements set forth in the related intercreditor agreement. Moreover, the directing certificateholder for this securitization will not have any consent or consultation rights with respect to the servicing of a servicing shift whole loan other than those limited consent and consultation rights as are provided in the related intercreditor agreement, and the holder of the related controlling pari passu companion loan or the controlling party in the related securitization of such controlling pari passu companion loan or such other party specified in the related intercreditor agreement is expected to have rights similar to, but not necessarily identical to, those granted to the directing certificateholder in this transaction. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loans”, “—The Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loans” and “Pooling and Servicing AgreementServicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans”.

 

Interests and Incentives of the Underwriter Entities May Not Be Aligned With Your Interests

 

The activities and interests of the underwriters and their respective affiliates (collectively, the “Underwriter Entities”) will not align with, and may in fact be directly contrary to, those of the certificateholders. The Underwriter Entities are each part of separate global investment banking, securities and investment management firms that provide a wide range of financial services to a substantial and diversified client base that includes corporations, financial institutions, governments and high-net-worth individuals. As such, they actively make markets in and trade financial instruments for their own account and for the accounts of customers. These financial instruments include debt and equity securities, currencies, commodities, bank loans, indices, baskets and other products. The Underwriter Entities’ activities include, among other things, executing large block trades and taking long and short positions directly and indirectly, through derivative instruments or otherwise. The securities and instruments in which the Underwriter Entities take positions, or expect to take positions, include loans similar to the mortgage loans, securities and instruments similar to the offered certificates and other securities and instruments. Market making is an activity where the Underwriter Entities buy and sell on behalf of customers, or for their own account, to satisfy the expected demand of customers. By its nature, market making involves facilitating transactions among market participants that have differing views of securities and instruments. Any short positions taken by the Underwriter Entities and/or their clients through marketing or otherwise will increase in value if the related securities or other instruments decrease in value, while positions taken by the Underwriter Entities and/or their clients in credit derivative or other derivative transactions with other parties, pursuant to which the Underwriter Entities and/or their clients sell or buy credit protection with respect to one or more classes of the offered certificates, may increase in value if the offered certificates default, are expected to default, or decrease in value.

 

The Underwriter Entities and their clients acting through them may execute such transactions, modify or terminate such derivative positions and otherwise act with respect to such transactions, and may exercise or enforce, or refrain from exercising or enforcing,

 

 127

 

 

any or all of their rights and powers in connection therewith, without regard to whether any such action might have an adverse effect on the offered certificates or the certificateholders. Additionally, none of the Underwriter Entities will have any obligation to disclose any of these securities or derivatives transactions to you in your capacity as a certificateholder. As a result, you should expect that the Underwriter Entities will take positions that are inconsistent with, or adverse to, the investment objectives of investors in the offered certificates.

 

As a result of the Underwriter Entities’ various financial market activities, including acting as a research provider, investment advisor, market maker or principal investor, you should expect that personnel in various businesses throughout the Underwriter Entities will have and express research or investment views and make recommendations that are inconsistent with, or adverse to, the objectives of investors in the offered certificates.

 

If an Underwriter Entity becomes a holder of any of the certificates, through market-making activity or otherwise, any actions that it takes in its capacity as a certificateholder, including voting, providing consents or otherwise will not necessarily be aligned with the interests of other holders of the same class or other classes of the certificates. To the extent an Underwriter Entity makes a market in the certificates (which it is under no obligation to do), it would expect to receive income from the spreads between its bid and offer prices for the certificates. The price at which an Underwriter Entity may be willing to purchase certificates, if it makes a market, will depend on market conditions and other relevant factors and may be significantly lower than the issue price for the certificates and significantly lower than the price at which it may be willing to sell certificates.

 

In addition, none of the Underwriter Entities will have any obligation to monitor the performance of the certificates or the actions of the parties to the pooling and servicing agreement and will have no authority to advise any party to the pooling and servicing agreement or to direct their actions.

 

Furthermore, each Underwriter Entity expects that a completed offering will enhance its ability to assist clients and counterparties in the transaction or in related transactions (including assisting clients in additional purchases and sales of the certificates and hedging transactions). The Underwriter Entities expect to derive fees and other revenues from these transactions. In addition, participating in a successful offering and providing related services to clients may enhance the Underwriter Entities’ relationships with various parties, facilitate additional business development, and enable them to obtain additional business and generate additional revenue.

 

The Underwriter Entities are playing several roles in this transaction. See “Certain Affiliations, Relationships and Related Transactions Involving Transaction Parties”.

 

See “Transaction Parties—The Sponsors and Mortgage Loan Sellers”. Each of the foregoing relationships should be considered carefully by you before you invest in any certificates.

 

Potential Conflicts of Interest of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer

 

The pooling and servicing agreement provides that the mortgage loans serviced thereunder are required to be administered in accordance with the servicing standard without regard to ownership of any certificate by the master servicer, the special servicer or any of their respective affiliates. See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Servicing Standard”. The pooling and servicing agreement governing the servicing of a non-serviced whole loan provides that such non-serviced whole loan is required to be administered in

 

 128

 

 

accordance with a servicing standard that is substantially similar in all material respect but not necessary identical to the servicing standard set forth in the pooling and servicing agreement. See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans”.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the master servicer, each sub-servicer and the special servicer or any of their respective affiliates and, as it relates to servicing and administration of a non-serviced mortgage loan, each master servicer, sub-servicer, special servicer or any of their respective affiliates under the pooling and servicing agreement governing the servicing of a non-serviced whole loan, may have interests when dealing with the mortgage loans that are in conflict with those of holders of the certificates, especially if such master servicer, sub-servicer, special servicer or affiliate holds certificates or companion loan securities, or has financial interests in or financial dealings with a borrower or a borrower sponsor.

 

Furthermore, nothing in the pooling and servicing agreement or otherwise will prohibit the master servicer or special servicer or an affiliate thereof from soliciting the refinancing of any of the mortgage loans. In the event that the master servicer or special servicer or an affiliate thereof refinances any of the mortgage loans included in the mortgage pool, an earlier than expected payoff of any such mortgage loan could occur, which would result in a prepayment, which such prepayment could have an adverse effect on the yield of the certificates. See “—Other Risks Relating to the CertificatesYour Yield May Be Affected by Defaults, Prepayments and Other Factors” in this prospectus.

 

In order to minimize the effect of certain of these conflicts of interest as they relate to the special servicer, for so long as the special servicer is a borrower party with respect to an excluded special servicer loan, the special servicer will be required to resign as special servicer with respect to that mortgage loan and, prior to the occurrence of a control termination event under the pooling and servicing agreement, the directing certificateholder will be required to select a separate special servicer that is not a borrower party (referred to herein as an “excluded special servicer”) with respect to any excluded special servicer loan, unless such excluded special servicer loan is also an excluded loan. After the occurrence and during the continuance of a control termination event, if at any time the applicable excluded special servicer loan is also an excluded loan or if the directing certificateholder is entitled to appoint the excluded special servicer but does not so appoint within 30 days of notice of resignation, the resigning special servicer will be required to select the related excluded special servicer. See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Replacement of the Special Servicer Without Cause”. Any excluded special servicer will be required to perform all of the obligations of the special servicer with respect to such excluded special servicer loan and will be entitled to all special servicing compensation with respect to such excluded special servicer loan earned during such time as the related mortgage loan is an excluded special servicer loan. While the special servicer will have the same access to information related to the excluded special servicer loan as it does with respect to the other mortgage loans, the special servicer will covenant in the pooling and servicing agreement that it will not directly or indirectly provide any information related to any excluded special servicer loan to the related borrower party, any of the special servicer’s employees or personnel or any of its affiliates involved in the management of any investment in the related borrower party or the related mortgaged property or, to its actual knowledge, any non-affiliate that holds a direct or indirect ownership interest in the related borrower party, and will maintain sufficient internal controls and appropriate policies and procedures in place in order to comply with those obligations. Notwithstanding those restrictions, there can be no assurance that the related borrower party will not obtain sensitive information related to the

 

 129

 

 

strategy of any contemplated workout or liquidation related to an excluded special servicer loan.

 

Each of these relationships may create a conflict of interest. For instance, if the special servicer or its affiliate holds a subordinate class of certificates, the special servicer might seek to reduce the potential for losses allocable to those certificates from the mortgage loans by deferring acceleration in hope of maximizing future proceeds. However, that action could result in less proceeds to the issuing entity than would be realized if earlier action had been taken. In addition, no servicer is required to act in a manner more favorable to the offered certificates or any particular class of certificates than to the UBS 2017-C5 non-offered certificates, any serviced companion loan holder or the holder of any serviced companion loan securities.

 

The master servicer and the special servicer service and are expected to continue to service, in the ordinary course of their respective businesses, existing and new mortgage loans for third parties, including portfolios of mortgage loans similar to the mortgage loans. The real properties securing these other mortgage loans may be in the same markets as, and compete with, certain of the mortgaged properties securing the mortgage loans. Consequently, personnel of the master servicer or the special servicer, as applicable, may perform services, on behalf of the issuing entity, with respect to the mortgage loans at the same time as they are performing services, on behalf of other persons, with respect to other mortgage loans secured by properties that compete with the mortgaged properties securing the mortgage loans. In addition, the mortgage loan sellers will determine who will service mortgage loans that the mortgage loan sellers originate in the future, and that determination may be influenced by the mortgage loan seller’s opinion of servicing decisions made by the master servicer or the special servicer under the pooling and servicing agreement including, among other things, the manner in which the master servicer or special servicer enforces breaches of representations and warranties against the related mortgage loan seller. This may pose inherent conflicts for the master servicer or special servicer.

 

The special servicer may enter into one or more arrangements with the directing certificateholder, a controlling class certificateholder, a serviced companion loan holder or other certificateholders (or an affiliate or a third party representative of one or more of the preceding parties) to provide for a discount and/or revenue sharing with respect to certain of the special servicer compensation in consideration of, among other things, the special servicer’s appointment (or continuance) as special servicer under the pooling and servicing agreement and/or the related intercreditor agreement and limitations on the right of such person to replace the special servicer. See “—Other Potential Conflicts of Interest May Affect Your Investment” below. Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, which is expected to act as the master servicer and the special servicer under the pooling and servicing agreement, assisted KKR Real Estate Credit Opportunity Partners Aggregator I L.P. (or its affiliate) with its due diligence of the mortgage loans prior to the closing date.

 

Similarly, it is expected that Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, will be the trustee, the custodian, the Cayman agent and the certificate administrator for this transaction. In addition, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association is also (1) the master servicer, the certificate administrator and the custodian under the DBUBS 2017-BRBK trust and servicing agreement, which governs the servicing and administration of the Burbank Office Portfolio whole loan, (2) expected to be the master servicer, the certificate administrator and the custodian under the BANK 2017-BNK8 pooling and servicing agreement, which is expected to govern the servicing and administration of the Griffin Portfolio whole loan and, until the securitization of the related control note, the Cabela’s Industrial Portfolio whole loan, (3) the

 

 130

 

 

servicer, the special servicer, the certificate administrator and the custodian under the MSSG Trust 2017-237P trust and servicing agreement, which governs the servicing and administration of the 237 Park Avenue whole loan, (4) the master servicer, the certificate administrator, Cayman agent and the custodian under the GSMS 2017-GS7 pooling and servicing agreement, which governs the servicing and administration of the Marriott Grand Cayman whole loan until the securitization of the related control note, (5) the trustee, the certificate administrator and the custodian under the UBS 2017-C2 pooling and servicing agreement, which governs the servicing and administration of the AHIP Northeast Portfolio III whole loan, (6) the master servicer, the certificate administrator and the custodian under the UBS 2017-C4 pooling and servicing agreement, which governs the servicing and administration of the DoubleTree Berkeley Marina whole loan and The District whole loan, and (7) the master servicer under the CD 2017-CD5 pooling and servicing agreement, which governs the servicing and administration of the IGT Reno whole loan.

 

Wells Fargo Bank, National Association is also acting as the interim servicer and custodian (or, in the case of the 50 Varick Street mortgage loan, as the master servicer and custodian under the UBS 2017-C4 pooling and servicing agreement) for all of the mortgage loans that Ladder Capital Finance LLC is contributing to this securitization transaction.

 

Although the master servicer and the special servicer will be required to service and administer the mortgage loan pool in accordance with the servicing standard and, accordingly, without regard to their rights to receive compensation under the pooling and servicing agreement and without regard to any potential obligation to repurchase or substitute a mortgage loan if the master servicer or special servicer is a mortgage loan seller, the possibility of receiving additional servicing compensation in the nature of assumption and modification fees, the continuation of receiving fees to service or specially service a mortgage loan, or the desire to avoid a repurchase demand resulting from a breach of a representation and warranty or material document default may under certain circumstances provide the master servicer or the special servicer, as the case may be, with an economic disincentive to comply with this standard.

 

Each of the foregoing relationships should be considered carefully by you before you invest in any certificates.

 

Potential Conflicts of Interest of the Operating Advisor

 

Park Bridge Lender Services LLC has been appointed as the initial operating advisor with respect to all of the mortgage loans other than any non-serviced mortgage loan and any servicing shift mortgage loan. See “Transaction Parties—The Operating Advisor and Asset Representations Reviewer”. In the normal course of conducting its business, the initial operating advisor and its affiliates may have rendered services to, performed surveillance of, provided valuation services to, and negotiated with, numerous parties engaged in activities related to structured finance and commercial mortgage securitization. These parties may have included institutional investors, the depositor, the sponsors, the mortgage loan sellers, the originators, the certificate administrator, the trustee, the master servicer, the special servicer, the directing certificateholder, collateral property owners and their vendors or affiliates of any of those parties. Each of these relationships, to the extent they exist, may continue in the future and may involve a conflict of interest with respect to the initial operating advisor’s duties as operating advisor. We cannot assure you that the existence of these relationships and other relationships in the future will not impact the manner in which the initial operating advisor performs its duties under the pooling and servicing agreement.

 

 131

 

 

Additionally, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC or its affiliates, in the ordinary course of their business, may in the future (a) perform for third parties contract underwriting services and advisory services as well as service or specially service mortgage loans and (b) acquire mortgage loans for their own account, including, in each such case, mortgage loans similar to the mortgage loans that will be included in the issuing entity. The real mortgaged properties securing these other mortgage loans may be in the same markets as, and compete with, certain of the mortgaged properties securing the mortgage loans that will be included in the issuing entity. Consequently, personnel of Park Bridge Lender Services LLC may perform services, on behalf of the issuing entity, with respect to the mortgage loans included in the issuing entity at the same time as they are performing services with respect to, or while Park Bridge Lender Services LLC or its affiliates are holding, other mortgage loans secured by mortgaged properties that compete with the mortgaged properties securing the mortgage loans included in the issuing entity. This may pose inherent conflicts for Park Bridge Lender Services LLC. Although the operating advisor is required to consider the servicing standard in connection with its activities under the pooling and servicing agreement, the operating advisor will not itself be bound by the servicing standard.

 

In addition, the operating advisor and its affiliates may acquire or have interests that are in conflict with those of certificateholders if the operating advisor or any of its affiliates has financial interests in or financial dealings with a borrower, a parent or a sponsor of a borrower, a servicer or any of their affiliates. Each of these relationships may also create a conflict of interest. See also See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—The Operating Advisor—Eligibility of Operating Advisor”.

 

Potential Conflicts of Interest of the Asset Representations Reviewer

 

Park Bridge Lender Services LLC has been appointed as the initial asset representations reviewer with respect to all of the mortgage loans. See “Transaction Parties—The Operating Advisor and the Asset Representations Reviewer”. In the normal course of conducting its business, the initial asset representations reviewer and its affiliates may have rendered services to, performed surveillance of, provided valuation services to, and negotiated with, numerous parties engaged in activities related to structured finance and commercial mortgage securitization. These parties may have included institutional investors, the depositor, the sponsors, the mortgage loan sellers, the originators, the certificate administrator, the trustee, the master servicer, the special servicer, the directing certificateholder, mortgaged collateral property owners and their vendors or affiliates of any of those parties. Each of these relationships, to the extent they exist, may continue in the future and may involve a conflict of interest with respect to the initial asset representations reviewer’s duties as asset representations reviewer. We cannot assure you that the existence of these relationships and other relationships in the future will not impact the manner in which the initial asset representations reviewer performs its duties under the pooling and servicing agreement.

 

Additionally, Park Bridge Lender Services LLC or its affiliates, in the ordinary course of their business, may in the future (a) perform for third parties contract underwriting services and advisory services as well as service or specially service mortgage loans and (b) acquire mortgage loans for their own account, including, in each such case, mortgage loans similar to the mortgage loans that will be included in the issuing entity. The real mortgaged properties securing these other mortgage loans may be in the same markets as, and compete with, certain of the mortgaged properties securing the mortgage loans that will be included in the issuing entity. Consequently, personnel of Park Bridge Lender Services LLC may perform services, on behalf of the issuing entity, with respect to the mortgage loans included in the issuing entity at the same time as they are performing services with respect

 

 132

 

 

to, or while Park Bridge Lender Services LLC or its affiliates are holding, other mortgage loans secured by mortgaged properties that compete with the mortgaged properties securing the mortgage loans included in the issuing entity. This may pose inherent conflicts for Park Bridge Lender Services LLC.

 

In addition, the asset representations reviewer and its affiliates may acquire or have interests that are in conflict with those of certificateholders if the asset representations reviewer or any of its affiliates has financial interests in or financial dealings with a borrower, a parent or a sponsor of a borrower, a servicer or any of their affiliates. Each of these relationships may also create a conflict of interest.

 

Potential Conflicts of Interest of the Directing Certificateholder and the Companion Holders

 

It is expected that KKR Real Estate Credit Opportunity Partners Aggregator I L.P., or its affiliate will be appointed as the initial directing certificateholder. The special servicer may, at the direction of the directing certificateholder (for so long as a control termination event does not exist and is not continuing and, at all times, other than with respect to certain excluded loans) or, in the case of the servicing shift mortgage loans, at the direction of the related controlling noteholder, prior to the applicable servicing shift securitization date or, with respect to a serviced AB whole loan, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a control appraisal period with respect to the related subordinate companion loan, at the direction of the holder of the related subordinate companion loan, take actions with respect to the specially serviced loans under the pooling and servicing agreement that could adversely affect the holders of some or all of the classes of certificates. The directing certificateholder will be controlled by the controlling class certificateholders.

 

The controlling class certificateholders and the holder of any companion loan or securities backed by such companion loan may have interests in conflict with those of the other certificateholders. As a result, it is possible (i) that the directing certificateholder on behalf of the controlling class certificateholders (for so long as a control termination event does not exist and, at all times, other than with respect to any applicable excluded loans or non-serviced whole loans), (ii) the respective controlling noteholders of the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers whole loan, the Centre 425 Bellevue whole loan, the National Office Portfolio whole loan, the Totowa Commerce Center whole loan, the Bass Pro & Cabela’s Portfolio whole loan, the Hyatt Regency Princeton whole loan, the At Home Portfolio whole loan or the Murrieta Plaza whole loan, in each case prior to the applicable servicing shift securitization date, (iii) the directing certificateholder (or equivalent entity) under the pooling and servicing agreement governing the servicing of a non-serviced whole loan or (iv) the holder of the related subordinate companion loan with respect to a serviced AB whole loan prior to the occurrence and continuance of a control appraisal period with respect to the related subordinate companion loan, may direct the special servicer or the special servicer under such pooling and servicing agreement relating to the other securitization transaction, as the case may be, to take actions that conflict with the interests of holders of certain classes of the certificates.

(1)Does not include the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers whole loan, the Centre 425 Bellevue whole loan, the National Office Portfolio whole loan, the Totowa Commerce Center whole loan, the Bass Pro & Cabela’s Portfolio whole loan, the Hyatt Regency Princeton whole loan, the At Home Portfolio whole loan and the Murrieta Plaza whole loan, servicing for which will be transferred on the related servicing shift securitization date. The initial controlling noteholder for the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers whole loan will be Natixis Real Estate Capital LLC or an affiliate thereof, as holder of the related controlling companion loan. The initial controlling noteholder for the Centre 425 Bellevue whole loan will be Natixis Real Estate Capital LLC or an affiliate thereof, as holder of the related controlling companion loan. The initial controlling noteholder of the National Office Portfolio whole loan will be Ladder Capital Finance LLC or an affiliate thereof, as holder of the related controlling companion loan. The initial controlling noteholder for the Totowa Commerce Center whole loan will be Natixis Real Estate Capital LLC or an affiliate thereof, as holder of the related controlling companion loan. The initial controlling noteholder for the Bass Pro & Cabela’s Portfolio whole loan, will be Goldman Sachs Mortgage Company, as holder of the related controlling companion loan. The initial controlling noteholder for the Hyatt Regency Princeton whole loan will be Cantor Commercial Real Estate Lending, L.P., as holder of the related controlling companion loan. The initial controlling noteholder for the At Home Portfolio whole loan will be UBS AG, New York Branch, as holder of the related controlling companion loan. The initial controlling noteholder for the Murrieta Plaza whole loan will be Regions Bank, as holder of the related controlling companion loan. With respect to each such whole loan, after the related servicing shift securitization date, the controlling noteholder of such whole loan will be the securitization trust into which the related controlling companion loan is deposited. The initial directing certificateholder after such servicing shift securitization date is expected to be the controlling class representative or other directing certificateholder under the securitization into which the related controlling companion loan was deposited.

 

(2)As of the closing date of the related securitization.

 

(3)The Cabela’s Industrial Portfolio whole loan (i) will initially be serviced and administered pursuant to the BANK 2017-BNK8 pooling and servicing agreement, and (ii) upon the inclusion of the related controlling pari passu companion loan in a future commercial mortgage securitization transaction, will be serviced and administered by the related master servicer and an special servicer pursuant to the pooling and servicing agreement governing that future commercial mortgage securitization transaction.

 

(4)The Marriott Grand Cayman whole loan (i) will initially be serviced and administered pursuant to the GSMS 2017-GS7 pooling and servicing agreement, and (ii) upon the inclusion of the related controlling pari passu companion loan in a future commercial mortgage securitization transaction, will be serviced and administered by the related master servicer and an special servicer pursuant to the pooling and servicing agreement governing that future commercial mortgage securitization transaction.

 

The controlling noteholder or directing certificateholder indicated in the chart above has certain consent and/or consultation rights with respect to the related non-serviced whole loan under the pooling and servicing agreement governing the servicing of that non-serviced whole loan. Such controlling noteholder or directing certificateholder does not

 

 134

 

 

have any duties to the holders of any class of certificates and may have similar conflicts of interest with the holders of other certificates backed by the companion loans. As a result, it is possible that a non-serviced companion loan holder (solely with respect to the related non-serviced whole loan) may advise a non-serviced special servicer to take actions that conflict with the interests of holders of certain classes of the certificates. However, such non-serviced special servicer is not permitted to take actions that are prohibited by law or that violate its servicing standard or the terms of the related mortgage loan documents. See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans”. In addition, except as limited by certain conditions described under “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans”, a non-serviced special servicer may be replaced by the related directing certificateholder or controlling noteholder with or without cause at any time, for so long as a control termination event (or its equivalent) does not exist (or, in the case of a servicing shift mortgage loan, prior to the applicable servicing shift securitization date, by the holder of the controlling companion loan at any time, for cause or without cause). See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement —Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans”, “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loans” and “—The Non-Serviced AB Whole Loans”.

 

With respect to a servicing shift whole loan, prior to the applicable servicing shift securitization date, the related controlling companion loan holder will have certain consent and/or consultation rights, and the related non-controlling companion loan holders will have non-binding consultation rights, in each case with respect to such servicing shift whole loan under the pooling and servicing agreement. Such companion loan holders do not have any duties to the holders of any class of certificates and may have similar conflicts of interest with the holders of other certificates backed by the companion loans, if any. As a result, it is possible that such controlling companion loan holder (solely with respect to the related servicing shift whole loan and prior to the applicable servicing shift securitization date) may advise the applicable special servicer to take actions that conflict with the interests of holders of certain classes of the certificates. Additionally, it is possible that such non-controlling companion loan holder (solely with respect to the related servicing shift whole loan and prior to the applicable servicing shift securitization date) may, on a strictly non-binding basis, consult with the applicable special servicer and recommend that such special servicer take actions that conflict with the interests of holders of certain classes of the certificates. Accordingly, prior to the applicable servicing shift securitization date, the applicable special servicer may take actions with respect to the related servicing shift whole loan that could adversely affect the holders of some or all of the classes of certificates, to the extent described under “Description of the Mortgage PoolThe Whole Loans”. However, such special servicer is not permitted to take actions that are prohibited by law or that violate its servicing standard or the terms of the related mortgage loan documents. After the related servicing shift securitization date, the related servicing shift whole loan will become a non-serviced whole loan and, thereafter, be subject to the conflicts described herein applicable to non-serviced mortgage loans. See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement —Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans”.

 

With respect to serviced pari passu whole loans other than any servicing shift whole loan, the special servicer, upon strictly non-binding consultation with a serviced companion loan holder or its representative, may take actions with respect to the related serviced pari passu whole loan that could adversely affect the holders of some or all of the classes of certificates, to the extent described under “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans”. In connection with a pari passu whole loan serviced under the pooling and servicing agreement for this securitization, a serviced companion loan holder does not have any duties to the holders of any class of certificates, and it may have interests in conflict with those of the certificateholders. As a result, it is possible that a serviced companion loan

 

 135

 

 

holder with respect to a serviced pari passu whole loan other than any servicing shift whole loan (solely with respect to the related serviced pari passu whole loan) may, on a strictly non-binding basis, consult with the special servicer and recommend that the special servicer take actions that conflict with the interests of holders of certain classes of the certificates. However, the special servicer is not required to follow such recommendations and is not permitted to take actions that are prohibited by law or that violate the servicing standard or the terms of the mortgage loan documents and is otherwise under no obligation to take direction from a serviced companion loan holder. In addition, except as limited by certain conditions described under “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Termination of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer for Cause—Servicer Termination Events”, the special servicer may be replaced by the directing certificateholder for cause at any time and without cause (for so long as a control termination event does not exist and other than in respect of any excluded loan). See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—The Directing Certificateholder” and “—Termination of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer for Cause—Servicer Termination Events”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to a servicing shift whole loan, prior to the applicable servicing shift securitization date, the special servicer may be replaced by the holder of the related controlling companion loan at any time, for cause or without cause.

 

With respect to each of the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers whole loan and the Centre 425 Bellevue whole loan, the holder of the related subordinate companion loan will have certain rights with respect to the related whole loan prior to the occurrence and continuance of a control appraisal period under the related intercreditor agreement, including the right, under certain conditions, to consent to various modifications and waivers or other matters affecting the related whole loan and certain actions and amendments to the mortgage loan documents proposed by the special servicer under the pooling and servicing agreement for this securitization. In addition, the holder of the related subordinate companion loan with respect to each of the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers whole loan and the Centre 425 Bellevue whole loan will have the right to purchase the related mortgage loan if such mortgage loan is in default. Additionally, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a control appraisal period under the related intercreditor agreement, the holder of such subordinate companion loan will also have the right under, and subject to the requirements of, the related intercreditor agreement to replace the special servicer with respect to such whole loan. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Serviced AB Whole Loans—Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Whole Loan” and “Centre 425 Bellevue Whole Loan”. The holder of a subordinate companion loan may have interests that conflict with those of certain certificateholders. In exercising those rights, no holder of a subordinate companion loan has any obligation to consider the interests of, or impact of the exercise of such rights upon, the trust or the certificateholders.

 

The directing certificateholder, any controlling noteholder or their respective affiliates (and the directing certificateholder (or equivalent entity) under the pooling and servicing agreement governing the servicing of a non-serviced whole loan and any of its respective affiliates) (or, after a servicing shift securitization date, the securitization trust and directing certificateholder thereunder for the related controlling companion loan) may have interests that are in conflict with those of certain certificateholders, especially if the applicable directing certificateholder, controlling noteholder or any of their respective affiliates holds certificates or companion loan securities, or has financial interests in or other financial dealings (as lender or otherwise) with a borrower or an affiliate of a borrower. In order to minimize the effect of certain of these conflicts of interest, for so long as any borrower party is the directing certificateholder or the holder of the majority of the controlling class (any such mortgage loan referred to herein as an “excluded loan”), the directing certificateholder will not have consent or consultation rights solely with respect to such excluded loan

 

 136

 

 

(however, the directing certificateholder will be provided certain notices and certain information relating to any such excluded loan as described in the pooling and servicing agreement). In addition, for so long as any borrower party is the directing certificateholder or a controlling class certificateholder, as applicable, the directing certificateholder or such controlling class certificateholder, as applicable, will not be given access to any “excluded information” solely relating to any such mortgage loan and/or the related mortgaged properties pursuant to the terms of the pooling and servicing agreement. Notwithstanding those restrictions, there can be no assurance that the directing certificateholder or any controlling class certificateholder will not obtain sensitive information related to the strategy of any contemplated workout or liquidation related to an excluded loan or otherwise seek to exert its influence over the special servicer in the event an excluded loan becomes subject to a workout or liquidation. See “Description of the Certificates—Reports to Certificateholders; Certain Available Information” in this prospectus. Each of these relationships may create a conflict of interest.

 

Potential Conflicts of Interest in the Selection of the Underlying Mortgage Loans

 

The anticipated initial investor in the Class D-RR, Class E-RR, Class F-RR, Class G-RR and Class NR-RR certificates, which is referred to in this prospectus as the “third party purchaser” (see “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—The Directing Certificateholder—General”), was required under the credit risk retention rules to perform due diligence on the mortgage loans originally identified by the sponsors for inclusion in the issuing entity. See “Credit Risk Retention—General”. In addition, the third party purchaser was given the opportunity to request the removal, re-sizing or change in the expected repayment dates or other features of some or all of the mortgage loans. The mortgage pool as originally proposed by the sponsors was adjusted based on certain of these requests. In addition, the b-piece buyer received or may have received price adjustments or cost mitigation arrangements in connection with accepting certain mortgage loans in the mortgage pool.

 

We cannot assure you that you or another investor would have made the same requests to modify the original pool as the third party purchaser or that the final pool as influenced by the third party purchaser’s feedback will not adversely affect the performance of your certificates and benefit the performance of the third party purchaser’s certificates. Because of the differing subordination levels, the third party purchaser has interests that may, in some circumstances, differ from those of purchasers of other classes of certificates, and may desire a portfolio composition that benefits the third party purchaser but that does not benefit other investors. In addition, while the third party purchaser is prohibited under the credit risk retention rules to enter into hedging arrangements and certain other transactions, it may nonetheless otherwise have business objectives that could cause its interests with respect to the mortgage pool to diverge from those of other purchasers of the certificates. The third party purchaser performed due diligence solely for its own benefit and has no liability to any person or entity for conducting its due diligence. The third party purchaser is not required to take into account the interests of any other investor in the certificates in exercising remedies or voting or other rights in its capacity as owner of its certificates or in making requests or recommendations to the sponsors as to the selection of the mortgage loans and the establishment of other transaction terms. Investors are not entitled to rely on in any way the third party purchaser’s acceptance of a mortgage loan. The third party purchaser’s acceptance of a mortgage loan does not constitute, and may not be construed as, an endorsement of such mortgage loan, the underwriting for such mortgage loan or the originator of such mortgage loan.

 

The third party purchaser will have no liability to any certificateholder for any actions taken by it as described in the preceding two paragraphs and the pooling and servicing

 

 137

 

 

agreement will provide that each certificateholder, by its acceptance of a certificate, waives any claims against such buyers in respect of such actions.

 

The third party purchaser is expected to appoint KKR Real Estate Credit Opportunity Partners Aggregator I L.P., or its affiliate as the initial directing certificateholder. The directing certificateholder will have certain rights to direct and consult with the master servicer and the special servicer. In addition, the directing certificateholder will generally have certain consultation rights with regard to the non-serviced mortgage loans under the pooling and servicing agreement governing the servicing of such non-serviced whole loan and the related intercreditor agreement, and with regard to a servicing shift whole loan following the applicable servicing shift securitization date, under the related pooling and servicing agreement governing the servicing of such servicing shift whole loan. See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—The Directing Certificateholder” and “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loans—Certain Rights of each Non-Controlling Holder”, “—The Non-Serviced AB Whole Loans—Burbank Office Portfolio Whole Loan—Consultation and Control”, “—237 Park Avenue Whole Loan—Consultation and Control”, “The Serviced AB Whole Loans—Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Whole Loan—Consultation and Control” and “—Centre 425 Bellevue Whole Loan—Consultation and Control”.

 

Because the incentives and actions of the third party purchaser may, in some circumstances, differ from or be adverse to those of purchasers of the offered certificates, you are advised and encouraged to make your own investment decision based on a careful review of the information set forth in this prospectus and your own view of the mortgage pool.

 

Conflicts of Interest May Occur as a Result of the Rights of the Applicable Directing Certificateholder To Terminate the Special Servicer of the Applicable Whole Loan

 

With respect to any whole loan, the directing certificateholder exercising control rights over that whole loan (or, (i) with respect to any mortgage loan with one or more subordinate companion loans, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a “control appraisal period” or “control termination event” with respect to the related subordinate companion loan, the holder of the related subordinate companion loan and (ii) with respect to any servicing shift whole loan, prior to the servicing shift securitization date, the holder of the related controlling companion loan) will be entitled, under certain circumstances, to remove the special servicer under the applicable pooling and servicing agreement governing the servicing of such whole loan and, in such circumstances, appoint a successor special servicer for such whole loan (or have certain consent rights with respect to such removal or replacement). The party with this appointment power may have special relationships or interests that conflict with those of the holders of one or more classes of certificates. In addition, that party does not have any duties to the holders of any class of certificates, may act solely in its own interests, and will have no liability to any certificateholders for having done so. No certificateholder may take any action against the directing certificateholder or, with respect to a servicing shift whole loan, the holder of the related controlling companion loan, under the pooling and servicing agreement for this securitization or under the pooling and servicing agreement governing the servicing of a non-serviced whole loan, or against any other parties for having acted solely in their respective interests. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans” for a description of these rights to terminate the special servicer.

Other Potential Conflicts of Interest May Affect Your Investment

 

The managers of the mortgaged properties and the borrowers may experience conflicts in the management and/or ownership of the mortgaged properties because:

 

a substantial number of the mortgaged properties are managed by property managers affiliated with the respective borrowers;

 

these property managers also may manage and/or franchise additional properties, including properties that may compete with the mortgaged properties; and

 

affiliates of the managers and/or the borrowers, or the managers and/or the borrowers themselves, also may own other properties, including competing properties.

 

None of the borrowers, property managers or any of their affiliates or any employees of the foregoing has any duty to favor the leasing of space in the mortgaged properties over the leasing of space in other properties, one or more of which may be adjacent to or near the mortgaged properties.

 

Each of the foregoing relationships should be considered carefully by you before you invest in any certificates.

 

Other Risks Relating to the Certificates

 

The Certificates Are Limited Obligations

 

The certificates, when issued, will only represent ownership interests in the issuing entity. The certificates will not represent an interest in or obligation of, and will not be guaranteed by, the sponsors, the depositor, or any other person. The primary assets of the issuing entity will be the mortgage loans, and distributions on any class of certificates will depend solely on the amount and timing of payments and other collections in respect of the mortgage loans. We cannot assure you that the cash flow from the mortgaged properties and the proceeds of any sale or refinancing of the mortgaged properties will be sufficient to pay the principal of, and interest on, the mortgage loans or to distribute in full the amounts of interest and principal to which the certificateholders will be entitled. See “Description of the Certificates—General”.

 

The Certificates May Have Limited Liquidity and the Market Value of the Certificates May Decline

 

Your certificates will not be listed on any national securities exchange or traded on any automated quotation systems of any registered securities association, and there is currently no secondary market for your certificates. The underwriters have no obligation to make a market in the offered certificates. We cannot assure you that an active secondary market for the certificates will develop. Additionally, one or more investors may purchase substantial portions of one or more classes of certificates. Accordingly, you may not have an active or liquid secondary market for your certificates.

 

The market value of the certificates will also be influenced by the supply of and demand for CMBS generally. A number of factors will affect investors’ demand for CMBS, including:

 

the availability of alternative investments that offer higher yields or are perceived as being a better credit risk than CMBS, or as having a less volatile market value or being more liquid than CMBS;

 

 139

 

 

legal and other restrictions that prohibit a particular entity from investing in CMBS or limit the amount or types of CMBS that it may acquire or require it to maintain increased capital or reserves as a result of its investment in CMBS;

 

increased regulatory compliance burdens imposed on CMBS or securitizations generally, or on classes of securitizers, that may make securitization a less attractive financing option for commercial mortgage loans; and

 

investors’ perceptions of commercial real estate lending or CMBS, which may be adversely affected by, among other things, a decline in real estate values or an increase in defaults and foreclosures on commercial mortgage loans.

 

We cannot assure you that your certificates will not decline in value.

 

Legal and Regulatory Provisions Affecting Investors Could Adversely Affect the Liquidity of the Offered Certificates

 

We make no representation as to the proper characterization of the offered certificates for legal investment, financial institution regulatory, financial reporting or other purposes, as to the ability of particular investors to purchase the offered certificates under applicable legal investment or other restrictions or as to the consequences of an investment in the offered certificates for such purposes or under such restrictions. Changes in federal banking and securities laws and other laws and regulations may have an adverse effect on issuers, investors, or other participants in the asset-backed securities markets including the CMBS market and may have adverse effects on the liquidity, market value and regulatory characteristics of the certificates. While the general effects of such changes are uncertain, regulatory or legislative provisions applicable to certain investors may have the effect of limiting or restricting their ability to hold or acquire CMBS, which in turn may adversely affect the ability of investors in the offered certificates who are not subject to those provisions to resell their certificates in the secondary market. For example:

 

Investors should be aware of the risk retention and due diligence requirements in Europe (the “EU Risk Retention and Due Diligence Requirements”) which currently apply, or are expected to apply in the future, in respect of various types of European Union regulated investors including credit institutions, authorized alternative investment fund managers, investment firms, insurance and reinsurance undertakings and UCITS funds. Amongst other things, such requirements restrict an investor who is subject to the EU Risk Retention and Due Diligence Requirements from investing in securitizations unless: (i) the originator, sponsor or original lender in respect of the relevant securitization has explicitly disclosed that it will retain, on an on-going basis, a net economic interest of not less than five percent in respect of certain specified credit risk tranches or securitized exposures; and (ii) such investor is able to demonstrate that they have undertaken certain due diligence in respect of various matters including but not limited to its note position, the underlying assets and (in the case of certain types of investors) the relevant sponsor or originator. Failure to comply with one or more of the requirements may result in various penalties including, in the case of those investors subject to regulatory capital requirements, the imposition of a punitive capital charge on the Certificates acquired by the relevant investor.

 

On September 30, 2015, the European Commission (the “European Commission”) published a proposal to amend the Capital Requirements Regulation (the “CRR Amendment Regulation”) and a proposed regulation relating to a European framework for simple, transparent and standardized securitization (the “STS

 

 140

 

 

Securitization Regulation”) which would, among other things, re-cast the EU risk retention rules as part of wider changes to establish a “Capital Markets Union” in Europe (together with the CRR Amendment Regulation, the “Securitization Regulations”). The Presidency of the Council of the European Union (the “Council”) and the European Parliament have proposed amendments to the Securitization Regulations. The subsequent trilogue discussions between representatives of the European Commission, the Council and the European Parliament, have resulted in a compromise agreement being reached on the contents of the Securitization Regulations. The Council published the compromise text of the STS Securitization Regulation in a communication dated June 26, 2017. However, the final forms of the Securitization Regulations have not yet been published and so their final contents are not yet known. The current intention is that the Securitization Regulations will only apply from January 1, 2019. Investors should be aware that there are likely to be material differences between the current EU Risk Retention and Due Diligence Requirements and those in the Securitization Regulations.

 

None of the sponsors, the depositor or the issuing entity will retain a material net economic interest in the securitization constituted by the issue of the offered certificates in accordance with the EU Risk Retention and Due Diligence Requirements or to take any other action which may be required by EEA-regulated investors for the purposes of their compliance with the EU Risk Retention and Due Diligence Requirements or similar requirements. Consequently, the offered certificates may not be a suitable investment for EEA-credit institutions, investment firms or the other types of EEA regulated investors mentioned above. As a result, the price and liquidity of the offered certificates in the secondary market may be adversely affected. EEA-regulated investors are encouraged to consult with their own investment and legal advisors regarding the suitability of the offered certificates for investment. None of the issuing entity, the depositor, the underwriters and any other party to the transaction makes any representation to any prospective investor or purchaser of the offered certificates regarding the regulatory treatment of their investment in the offered certificates on the closing date or at any time in the future.

 

Société Générale, a sponsor, may be subject to the “bail-in” powers of national authorities in EU member states (each a “Resolution Authority”) and such sponsor’s liabilities, including the obligation to repurchase certain defective mortgage loans could, among other things, be reduced, converted or extinguished in full. Alternatively the EU Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive (2014/59/EU), collectively with secondary and implementing EU rules, and national implementing legislation (the “BRRD”) gives the power to a Resolution Authority to transfer the assets of certain relevant institutions to a third party entity.

 

Recent changes in federal banking and securities laws, including those resulting from the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) enacted in the United States, may have an adverse effect on issuers, investors, or other participants in the asset-backed securities markets. In particular, new capital regulations were issued by the U.S. banking regulators in July 2013; these regulations implement the increased capital requirements established under the Basel Accord and are being phased in over time. These new capital regulations eliminate reliance on credit ratings and otherwise alter, and in most cases increase, the capital requirements imposed on depository institutions and their holding companies, including with respect to ownership of asset-backed securities such as CMBS. Further changes in capital requirements have been

 

 141

 

 

announced by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and it is uncertain when such changes will be implemented in the United States. When fully implemented in the United States, these changes may have an adverse effect with respect to investments in asset-backed securities, including CMBS. As a result of these regulations, investments in CMBS such as the certificates by financial institutions subject to bank capital regulations may result in greater capital charges to these financial institutions and these new regulations may otherwise adversely affect the treatment of CMBS for their regulatory capital purposes.

 

Regulations were adopted on December 10, 2013 to implement Section 619 of the Dodd Frank Act (such statutory provision, together with such implementing regulations, the “Volcker Rule”). The Volcker Rule generally prohibits “banking entities” (which is broadly defined to include U.S. banks and bank holding companies and many non-U.S. banking entities, together with their respective subsidiaries and other affiliates) from (i) engaging in proprietary trading, (ii) acquiring or retaining an ownership interest in or sponsoring a “covered fund” and (iii) entering into certain relationships with such funds. The Volcker Rule became effective on July 21, 2012, and final regulations implementing the Volcker Rule were adopted on December 10, 2013. Banking entities are required to be in conformance with the Volcker Rule by July 21, 2015, although ownership interests or sponsorships in covered funds in existence prior to December 31, 2013 are not required to be brought into conformance until July 21, 2017 (with the possibility of an additional five-year extension for certain illiquid funds). Prior to the applicable conformance date expiration, banking entities must make good faith efforts to conform their activities and investments to the Volcker Rule. Under the Volcker Rule, unless otherwise jointly determined otherwise by specified federal regulators, a “covered fund” does not include an issuer that may rely on an exclusion or exemption from the definition of “investment company” under the Investment Company Act other than the exclusions contained in Section 3(c)(1) and Section 3(c)(7) of the Investment Company Act.

 

The issuing entity will be relying on an exclusion or exemption under the Investment Company Act contained in Section 3(c)(5) of the Investment Company Act or Rule 3a-7 under the Investment Company Act, although there may be additional exclusions or exemptions available to the issuing entity. Accordingly, the issuing entity is being structured so as not to constitute a “covered fund” for purposes of the Volcker Rule. The general effects of the Volcker Rule remain uncertain. Any prospective investor in the certificates, including a U.S. or foreign bank or a subsidiary or other bank affiliate, should consult its own legal advisors regarding such matters and other effects of the Volcker Rule.

 

The Financial Accounting Standards Board has adopted changes to the accounting standards for structured products. These changes, or any future changes, may affect the accounting for entities such as the issuing entity, could under certain circumstances require an investor or its owner generally to consolidate the assets of the issuing entity in its financial statements and record third parties’ investments in the issuing entity as liabilities of that investor or owner or could otherwise adversely affect the manner in which the investor or its owner must report an investment in CMBS for financial reporting purposes.

 

For purposes of the Secondary Mortgage Market Enhancement Act of 1984, as amended, no class of offered certificates will constitute “mortgage related securities”.

 

 142

 

 

In addition, compliance with legal requirements, such as the credit risk retention regulations under the Dodd-Frank Act, could cause commercial real estate lenders to tighten their lending standards and reduce the availability of debt financing for commercial real estate borrowers. This, in turn, may adversely affect a borrower’s ability to refinance the related mortgage loan or sell the related mortgaged property on such mortgage loan’s maturity date. We cannot assure you that a borrower will be able to generate sufficient cash from the sale or refinancing of the related mortgaged property to make the balloon payment on such mortgage loan.

 

Further changes in federal banking and securities laws and other laws and regulations may have an adverse effect on issuers, investors, or other participants in the asset-backed securities markets (including the CMBS market) and may have adverse effect on the liquidity, market value and regulatory characteristics of the certificates.

 

Accordingly, all investors whose investment activities are subject to legal investment laws and regulations, regulatory capital requirements, or review by regulatory authorities should consult with their own legal, accounting and other advisors in determining whether, and to what extent, the offered certificates will constitute legal investments for them or are subject to investment or other restrictions, unfavorable accounting treatment, capital charges or reserve requirements. See “Legal Investment”.

 

Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations May Assign Different Ratings to the Certificates; Ratings of the Certificates Reflect Only the Views of the Applicable Rating Agencies as of the Dates Such Ratings Were Issued; Ratings May Affect ERISA Eligibility; Ratings May Be Downgraded

 

Ratings assigned to the offered certificates by the nationally recognized statistical rating organizations engaged by the depositor:

 

are based on, among other things, the economic characteristics of the mortgaged properties and other relevant structural features of the transaction;

 

do not represent any assessment of the yield to maturity that a certificateholder may experience;

 

reflect only the views of the respective rating agencies as of the date such ratings were issued;

 

may be reviewed, revised, suspended, downgraded, qualified or withdrawn entirely by the applicable rating agency as a result of changes in or unavailability of information;

 

may have been determined based on criteria that included an analysis of historical mortgage loan data that may not reflect future experience;

 

may reflect assumptions by such rating agencies regarding performance of the mortgage loans that are not accurate, as evidenced by the significant amount of downgrades, qualifications and withdrawals of ratings assigned to previously issued CMBS by the hired rating agencies and other nationally recognized statistical rating organizations during the recent credit crisis; and

 

do not consider to what extent the offered certificates will be subject to prepayment or that the outstanding principal amount of any class of offered certificates will be prepaid.

 

 143

 

 

The nationally recognized statistical rating organizations that assign ratings to any class of offered certificates will establish the amount of credit support, if any, for such class of offered certificates based on, among other things, an assumed level of defaults, delinquencies and losses with respect to the mortgage loans. Actual losses may, however, exceed the assumed levels. If actual losses on the mortgage loans exceed the assumed levels, you may be required to bear the additional losses.

 

In addition, the rating of any class of offered certificates below an investment grade rating by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization, whether upon initial issuance of such class of certificates or as a result of a ratings downgrade, could adversely affect the ability of an employee benefit plan or other investor to purchase or retain those offered certificates. See “Certain ERISA Considerations” and “Legal Investment”.

 

Nationally recognized statistical rating organizations that were not engaged by the depositor to rate the offered certificates may nevertheless issue unsolicited credit ratings on one or more classes of offered certificates, relying on information they receive pursuant to Rule 17g-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise. If any such unsolicited ratings are issued, we cannot assure you that they will not be different from any ratings assigned by a rating agency engaged by the depositor. The issuance of unsolicited ratings by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization on a class of the offered certificates that are lower than ratings assigned by a rating agency engaged by the depositor may adversely impact the liquidity, market value and regulatory characteristics of that class.

 

As part of the process of obtaining ratings for the offered certificates, the depositor had initial discussions with and submitted certain materials to six nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. Based on preliminary feedback from those nationally recognized statistical rating organizations at that time, the depositor selected three of those nationally recognized statistical rating organizations to rate certain classes of the certificates and not the other nationally recognized statistical rating organizations, due in part to their initial subordination levels for the various classes of the certificates. If the depositor had selected the other nationally recognized statistical rating organizations to rate the certificates, we cannot assure you that the ratings such other nationally recognized statistical rating organizations would have assigned to the certificates would not have been lower than the ratings assigned by the nationally recognized statistical rating organizations engaged by the depositor. Further, in the case of one nationally recognized statistical rating organization engaged by the depositor, the depositor only requested ratings for certain classes of offered certificates, due in part to the final subordination levels provided by such nationally recognized statistical rating organization for such classes of certificates. If the depositor had selected such nationally recognized statistical rating organization to rate those classes of offered certificates not rated by it, such ratings on those other certificates may have been different, and potentially lower, than those ratings ultimately assigned to those certificates by the other nationally recognized statistical rating organizations hired by the depositor. In addition, the decision not to engage one or more other rating agencies in the rating of certain classes of certificates to be issued in connection with this transaction may negatively impact the liquidity, market value and regulatory characteristics of those classes of certificates. Although unsolicited ratings may be issued by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization, a nationally recognized statistical rating organization might be more likely to issue an unsolicited rating if it was not selected after having provided preliminary feedback to the depositor. Neither the depositor nor any other person or entity will have any duty to notify you if any other nationally recognized statistical rating organization issues, or delivers notice of its intention to issue, consolidated ratings on one or more classes of certificates after the date of this prospectus.

 

 144

 

 

Furthermore, the Securities and Exchange Commission may determine that any or all of the rating agencies engaged by the depositor to rate the certificates no longer qualifies as a nationally recognized statistical rating organization, or is no longer qualified to rate the certificates or may no longer rate similar securities for a limited period as a result of an enforcement action, and that determination may also have an adverse effect on the liquidity, market value and regulatory characteristics of the offered certificates. To the extent that the provisions of any mortgage loan or the pooling and servicing agreement condition any action, event or circumstance on the delivery of a rating agency confirmation, the pooling and servicing agreement will require delivery or deemed delivery of a rating agency confirmation only from the rating agencies engaged by the depositor to rate the certificates or, in the case of a serviced whole loan, any related companion loan securities.

 

In August 2011, S&P Global Ratings downgraded the U.S. Government’s credit rating from “AAA” to “AA+”. In the event that S&P Global Ratings is engaged by the depositor and thereafter elects pursuant to the transaction documents not to review, declines to review, or otherwise waives its review of one or more proposed defeasances of mortgage loans included in the trust and for which defeasance is permitted under the related loan documents, the transaction documents would then permit the related borrower to defease any such mortgage loan without actually obtaining a rating agency confirmation from S&P Global Ratings. Subsequent to any such defeasance(s), there can be no assurance that S&P Global Ratings would not thereafter decrease the ratings, if any, which it has assigned to the certificates.

 

We are not obligated to maintain any particular rating with respect to the certificates, and the ratings initially assigned to the certificates by any or all of the rating agencies engaged by the depositor to rate the certificates could change adversely as a result of changes affecting, among other things, the mortgage loans, the mortgaged properties, the parties to the pooling and servicing agreement, or as a result of changes to ratings criteria employed by any or all of the rating agencies engaged by the depositor to rate the certificates. Although these changes would not necessarily be or result from an event of default on any mortgage loan, any adverse change to the ratings of the offered certificates would likely have an adverse effect on the market value, liquidity and/or regulatory characteristics of those certificates.

 

Further, certain actions provided for in loan agreements may require a rating agency confirmation be obtained from the rating agencies engaged by the depositor to rate the certificates and, in the case of a serviced whole loan, any companion loan securities as a precondition to taking such action. In certain circumstances, this condition may be deemed to have been met or waived without such a rating agency confirmation being obtained. In the event such an action is taken without a rating agency confirmation being obtained, we cannot assure you that the applicable rating agency will not downgrade, qualify or withdraw its ratings as a result of the taking of such action. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Certain Terms of the Mortgage Loans—”“Due-On-Sale” and “Due-On-Encumbrance” Provisions”, “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Rating Agency Confirmations” and “Ratings” for additional considerations regarding the ratings, including a description of the process of obtaining confirmations of ratings for the offered certificates.

Your Yield May Be Affected by Defaults, Prepayments and Other Factors

 

General

 

The yield to maturity on each class of offered certificates will depend in part on the following:

 

the purchase price for the certificates;

 

the rate and timing of principal payments on the mortgage loans (both voluntary and involuntary), and the allocation of principal prepayments to the respective classes of offered certificates with certificate balances; and

 

the allocation of shortfalls and losses on the mortgage loans to the respective classes of offered certificates.

 

For this purpose, principal payments include voluntary and involuntary prepayments, such as prepayments resulting from the application of loan reserves, property releases, casualty or condemnation (including full repayment of the loan without yield maintenance following partial casualty and the lender’s application of available proceeds to the debt), defaults and liquidations as well as principal payments resulting from repurchases due to material breaches of representations and warranties or material document defects or purchases by a companion loan holder or mezzanine lender (if any) pursuant to a purchase option or sales of defaulted mortgage loans.

 

Any changes in the weighted average lives of your certificates may adversely affect your yield. In general, if you buy a certificate at a premium or any of the Class X-A or Class X-B certificates, and principal distributions occur faster than expected, your actual yield to maturity will be lower than expected. If principal distributions are very high, holders of certificates purchased at a premium or any of the Class X-A or Class X-B certificates might not fully recover their initial investment. Conversely, if you buy a certificate at a discount (other than any of the Class X-A or Class X-B certificates) and principal distributions occur more slowly than expected, your actual yield to maturity will be lower than expected.

 

Prepayments resulting in a shortening of weighted average lives of your certificates may be made at a time of low interest rates when you may be unable to reinvest the resulting payment of principal on your certificates at a rate comparable to the effective yield anticipated by you in making your investment in the certificates, while delays and extensions resulting in a lengthening of those weighted average lives may occur at a time of high interest rates when you may have been able to reinvest principal payments that would otherwise have been received by you at higher rates.

 

In addition, the extent to which prepayments on the mortgage loans in the issuing entity ultimately affect the weighted average life of the certificates will depend on the terms of the certificates, more particularly:

 

a class of certificates that entitles the holders of those certificates to a disproportionately larger share of the prepayments on the mortgage loans increases the “call risk” or the likelihood of early retirement of that class if the rate of prepayment is relatively fast; and

 

a class of certificates that entitles the holders of the certificates to a disproportionately smaller share of the prepayments on the mortgage loans increases the likelihood of “extension risk” or an extended average life of that class if the rate of prepayment is relatively slow.

 

 146

 

 

The Timing of Prepayments and Repurchases May Change Your Anticipated Yield

 

The rate at which voluntary prepayments occur on the mortgage loans will be affected by a variety of factors, including:

 

the terms of the mortgage loans, including, the length of any prepayment lockout period and the applicable yield maintenance charges and prepayment premiums and the extent to which the related mortgage loan terms may be practically enforced;

 

the level of prevailing interest rates;

 

the availability of credit for commercial real estate;

 

the master servicer’s or special servicer’s ability to enforce yield maintenance charges and prepayment premiums;

 

the failure to meet certain requirements for the release of escrows;

 

the occurrence of casualties or natural disasters; and

 

economic, demographic, tax, legal or other factors.

 

Although a yield maintenance charge or other prepayment premium provision of a mortgage loan is intended to create an economic disincentive for a borrower to prepay voluntarily a mortgage loan, we cannot assure you that mortgage loans that have such provisions will not prepay.

 

The extent to which the special servicer forecloses upon, takes title to and disposes of any mortgaged property related to a mortgage loan or sells defaulted mortgage loans will affect the weighted average lives of your certificates. If the special servicer forecloses upon a significant number of the related mortgage loans, and depending upon the amount and timing of recoveries from the related mortgaged properties or sells defaulted mortgage loans, your certificates may have a shorter weighted average life.

 

Delays in liquidations of defaulted mortgage loans and modifications extending the maturity of mortgage loans will tend to delay the payment of principal on the mortgage loans. The ability of the related borrower to make any required balloon payment typically will depend upon its ability either to refinance the mortgage loan or to sell the related mortgaged property. A significant number of the mortgage loans require balloon payments at maturity or have substantial principal balances outstanding on the related anticipated repayment date and there is a risk that a number of those mortgage loans may default at maturity or otherwise not be repaid on the related anticipated repayment date, or that the special servicer may extend the maturity of a number of those mortgage loans in connection with workouts. We cannot assure you as to the borrowers’ abilities to make mortgage loan payments on a full and timely basis, including any balloon payments at maturity, or to otherwise repay a mortgage loan on any on the related anticipated repayment date. Bankruptcy of the borrower or adverse conditions in the market where the mortgaged property is located may, among other things, delay the recovery of proceeds in the case of defaults. Losses on the mortgage loans due to uninsured risks or insufficient hazard insurance proceeds may create shortfalls in distributions to certificateholders. Any required indemnification of a party to the pooling and servicing agreement in connection with legal actions relating to the issuing entity, the related agreements or the certificates may also result in shortfalls.

 

 147

 

 

See “—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Risks Relating to Enforceability of Yield Maintenance Charges, Prepayment Premiums or Defeasance Provisions” above and “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Certain Terms of the Mortgage Loans—Prepayment Protections and Certain Involuntary Prepayments” and “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Redevelopment, Renovation and Expansion”.

 

In addition, if a sponsor repurchases a mortgage loan from the issuing entity due to a material breach of one or more of its representations or warranties or a material document defect, the repurchase price paid will be passed through to the holders of the certificates with the same effect as if the mortgage loan had been prepaid in part or in full, and no yield maintenance charge or other prepayment premium would be payable. Additionally, any mezzanine lender (if any) may have the option to purchase the related mortgage loan after certain defaults, and the purchase price may not include any yield maintenance charges or prepayment premiums. As a result of such a repurchase or purchase, investors in the Class X-A and Class X-B certificates and any other certificates purchased at a premium might not fully recoup their initial investment. A repurchase, a prepayment or the exercise of a purchase option may adversely affect the yield to maturity on your certificates. In this respect, see “Description of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements” and “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Realization Upon Mortgage Loans”.

 

The certificates with notional amounts will not be entitled to distributions of principal but instead will accrue interest on their respective notional amounts. Because the notional amount of the certificates indicated in the table below is based upon the outstanding certificate balances of the related class of certificates, the yield to maturity on the indicated certificates will be extremely sensitive to the rate and timing of prepayments of principal, liquidations and principal losses on the mortgage loans to the extent allocated to the related certificates.

 

Interest-Only Class
of Certificates

 

Underlying Classes 

Class X-A   Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4 and Class A-5 certificates
Class X-B   Class A-S, Class B and Class C certificates

 

In particular, the Class X-A certificates (and to a lesser extent, the Class X-B certificates) will be sensitive to prepayments on the mortgage loans because the prepayments will have the effect of reducing the notional amount of the Class X-A certificates first. A rapid rate of principal prepayments, liquidations and/or principal losses on the mortgage loans could result in the failure to recoup the initial investment in the Class X-A and/or Class X-B certificates. Investors in the Class X-A or Class X-B certificates should fully consider the associated risks, including the risk that an extremely rapid rate of amortization, prepayment or other liquidation of the mortgage loans could result in the failure of such investors to recoup fully their initial investments. The yield to maturity of the certificates with notional amounts may be adversely affected by the prepayment of mortgage loans with higher net mortgage loan rates. See “Yield and Maturity Considerations—Yield on the Certificates with Notional Amounts”.

 

In addition, with respect to the Class A-SB certificates, the extent to which the planned balances are achieved and the sensitivity of the Class A-SB certificates to principal prepayments on the mortgage loans will depend in part on the period of time during which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4 and Class A-5 certificates remain outstanding.

 

 148

 

 

As such, the Class A-SB certificates will become more sensitive to the rate of prepayments on the mortgage loans than they were when the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4 and Class A-5 certificates were outstanding.

 

Your Yield May be Adversely Affected By Prepayments Resulting From Earnout Reserves

 

With respect to certain mortgage loans, earnout escrows may have been established at origination, which funds may be released to the related borrower upon satisfaction of certain conditions. If such conditions with respect to any such mortgage loan are not satisfied, the amounts reserved in such escrows may be, or may be required to be, applied to the payment of the mortgage loan, which would have the same effect on the offered certificates as a prepayment of the mortgage loan, except that such application of funds would not be accompanied by any prepayment premium or yield maintenance charge. See Annex A-1. The pooling and servicing agreement will provide that unless required by the mortgage loan documents, the master servicer will not apply such amounts as a prepayment if no event of default has occurred.

 

Losses and Shortfalls May Change Your Anticipated Yield

 

If losses on the mortgage loans exceed the aggregate certificate balance of the classes of certificates subordinated to a particular class, that class will suffer a loss equal to the full amount of the excess (up to the outstanding certificate balance of that class). Even if losses on the mortgage loans are not borne by your certificates, those losses may affect the weighted average life and yield to maturity of your certificates.

 

For example, certain shortfalls in interest as a result of involuntary prepayments may reduce the funds available to make payments on your certificates. In addition, if the master servicer, the special servicer or the trustee reimburses itself (or the master servicer, special servicer, trustee or other party to a pooling and servicing agreement governing the servicing of a non-serviced whole loan) out of general collections on the mortgage loans included in the issuing entity for any advance that it (or any such other party) has determined is not recoverable out of collections on the related mortgage loan, then to the extent that this reimbursement is made from collections of principal on the mortgage loans in the issuing entity, that reimbursement will reduce the amount of principal ultimately available to be distributed on the certificates and will result in a reduction of the certificate balance (or notional amount) of a class of certificates. See “Description of the Certificates—Distributions”. Likewise, if the master servicer or the trustee reimburses itself out of principal collections on the mortgage loans for any workout-delayed reimbursement amounts, that reimbursement will reduce the amount of principal available to be distributed on the certificates, on that distribution date. This reimbursement would have the effect of reducing current payments of principal on the offered certificates (other than the certificates with notional amounts and the Class R certificates) and extending the weighted average lives of the offered certificates with certificate balances. See “Description of the Certificates—Distributions”.

 

In addition, to the extent losses are realized on the mortgage loans, first the Class NR-RR certificates, then the Class G-RR certificates, then the Class F-RR certificates, then the Class E-RR certificates, then the Class D-RR certificates, then the Class D certificates, then the Class C certificates, then the Class B certificates, then the Class A-S certificates and, then, pro rata, the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4 and Class A-5 certificates, based on their respective certificate balances, will bear such losses up to an amount equal to the respective outstanding certificate balance of that class. A reduction in the certificate balance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4 or Class A-5 certificates will result in a corresponding reduction in the notional

 

 149

 

 

amount of the Class X-A certificates and a reduction of the certificate balance of the Class A-S, Class B or Class C certificates will result in a corresponding reduction of the notional amount of the Class X-B certificates. We make no representation as to the anticipated rate or timing of prepayments (voluntary or involuntary) or rate, timing or amount of liquidations or losses on the mortgage loans or as to the anticipated yield to maturity of any such offered certificate. See “Yield and Maturity Considerations”.

 

Risk of Early Termination

 

The issuing entity is subject to optional termination under certain circumstances. See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Termination; Retirement of Certificates”. In the event of this termination, you might receive some principal payments earlier than otherwise expected, which could adversely affect your anticipated yield to maturity.

 

Subordination of the Subordinated Certificates Will Affect the Timing of Distributions and the Application of Losses on the Subordinated Certificates

 

As described in this prospectus, the rights of the holders of Class A-S, Class B and Class C certificates to receive payments of principal and interest otherwise payable on the certificates they hold will be subordinated to such rights of the holders of the more senior certificates having an earlier alphabetical or alphanumeric class designation. If you acquire any Class A-S, Class B or Class C certificates, then your rights to receive distributions of amounts collected or advanced on or in respect of the mortgage loans will generally be subordinated to those of the holders of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class X-A and Class X-B certificates and, if your certificates are Class B or Class C certificates, to those of the holders of the Class A-S certificates and, if your certificates are Class C certificates, to those of the holders of the Class B certificates. See “Description of the Certificates”. As a result, investors in those classes of certificates that are subordinated in whole or part to other classes of certificates will generally bear the effects of losses on the mortgage loans and unreimbursed expenses of the issuing entity before the holders of such other classes of certificates. See “Description of the Certificates—Distributions” and “—Subordination; Allocation of Realized Losses”.

 

Your Lack of Control Over the Issuing Entity and the Mortgage Loans Can Impact Your Investment

 

You Have Limited Voting Rights

 

Except as described in this prospectus, you and other certificateholders generally do not have a right to vote and do not have the right to make decisions with respect to the administration of the issuing entity and the mortgage loans. With respect to mortgage loans (other than any mortgage loan that will be serviced under a separate pooling and servicing agreement), those decisions are generally made, subject to the express terms of the pooling and servicing agreement for this transaction, by the master servicer, the special servicer, the trustee or the certificate administrator, as applicable, subject to any rights of the directing certificateholder under the pooling and servicing agreement for this transaction and the rights of the holders of any related companion loan and mezzanine debt under the related intercreditor agreement. With respect to a non-serviced mortgage loan, you will generally not have any right to vote or make decisions with respect a non-serviced mortgage loan, and those decisions will generally be made by the master servicer or the special servicer under the pooling and servicing agreement governing the servicing of such non-serviced mortgage loan and the related companion loan, subject to the rights of the directing certificateholder appointed under such pooling and servicing agreement. See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement” and “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole

Loans”. In particular, with respect to the risks relating to a modification of a mortgage loan, see “—Risks Relating to Modifications of the Mortgage Loans” below.

 

In certain limited circumstances where certificateholders have the right to vote on matters affecting the issuing entity, in some cases, these votes are by certificateholders taken as a whole and in others the vote is by class. Your interests as an owner of certificates of a particular class may not be aligned with the interests of owners of one or more other classes of certificates in connection with any such vote. In addition, in all cases voting is based on the outstanding certificate balance, which is reduced by realized losses. In certain cases with respect to the termination of the special servicer and the operating advisor, certain voting rights will also be reduced by appraisal reduction amounts, as described below. These limitations on voting could adversely affect your ability to protect your interests with respect to matters voted on by certificateholders. See “Description of the Certificates—Voting Rights”. You will have no rights to vote on any servicing matters related to the mortgage loan that will be serviced under the pooling and servicing agreement governing the servicing of a non-serviced whole loan.

 

In general, a certificate beneficially owned by any borrower affiliate, any property manager, the master servicer, the special servicer, the trustee, the certificate administrator, the depositor, any mortgage loan seller or respective affiliates or agents will be deemed not to be outstanding and a holder of such certificate will not have the right to vote, subject to certain exceptions, as further described in the definition of “Certificateholder” under “Description of the Certificates—Reports to Certificateholders; Certain Available Information—Certificate Administrator Reports”.

 

For the avoidance of doubt, the Class Z certificates will not have any voting rights.

 

The Rights of the Directing Certificateholder and the Operating Advisor Could Adversely Affect Your Investment

 

The directing certificateholder will have certain consent and consultation rights with respect to certain matters relating to the mortgage loans (other than any applicable excluded loans and, with respect to any non-serviced mortgage loan and any servicing shift mortgage loan, will have certain limited consultation rights) and the right to replace the special servicer (other than with respect to a non-serviced mortgage loan and a servicing shift mortgage loan) with or without cause, except that if a control termination event (i.e., an event in which the certificate balance of the most senior class of certificates that is eligible to be a controlling class, as reduced by the application of appraisal reduction amounts and realized losses, is less than 25% of its initial certificate balance) occurs and is continuing (other than with respect to a servicing shift mortgage loan, with respect to which the holder of the related controlling companion loan prior to the applicable servicing shift securitization date will have the rights and powers of the directing certificateholder under the pooling and servicing agreement), the directing certificateholder will lose the consent rights and the right to replace the special servicer, and if a consultation termination event (i.e., an event in which the certificate balance of the most senior class of certificates that is eligible to be a controlling class (as reduced by the application of realized losses) is less than 25% of its initial certificate balance) occurs and is continuing, then the directing certificateholder will no longer have any consultation rights with respect to any mortgage loans. The holder of the controlling companion loan for the related servicing shift whole loan will, prior to the related servicing shift securitization date, be entitled to replace the related special servicer with or without cause (solely as to such servicing shift whole loan), regardless of whether a control termination event exists. “See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—The Directing Certificateholder”.

 

 151

 

 

With respect to each serviced AB whole loan, prior to the occurrence of a control appraisal period with respect to the related subordinate companion loan, the directing certificateholder will not be entitled to exercise the above-described rights, and those rights will be held by the holder of the subordinate companion loan in accordance with the pooling and servicing agreement and the related intercreditor agreement. However, during a control appraisal period with respect to a serviced AB whole loan, the directing certificateholder will have the same rights (including the rights described above) with respect to such serviced AB whole loan as it does for the other mortgage loans in the issuing entity. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Serviced AB Whole Loans—Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Whole Loan.

 

These actions and decisions with respect to which the directing certificateholder has consent or consultation rights include, among others, certain modifications to the mortgage loans or any serviced whole loan (other than a servicing shift whole loan), including modifications of monetary terms, foreclosure or comparable conversion of the related mortgaged properties, and certain sales of mortgage loans or REO properties for less than the outstanding principal amount plus accrued interest, fees and expenses. As a result of the exercise of these rights by the directing certificateholder, the special servicer may take actions with respect to a mortgage loan that could adversely affect the interests of investors in one or more classes of offered certificates.

 

Similarly, with respect to any non-serviced mortgage loan, the master servicer or the special servicer under the pooling and servicing agreement governing the servicing of a non-serviced mortgage loan may, at the direction or upon the advice of the directing certificateholder (or equivalent) of the related securitization trust holding the controlling note for a non-serviced whole loan, take actions with respect to such non-serviced mortgage loan and related companion loans that could adversely affect such non-serviced mortgage loan, and therefore, the holders of some or all of the classes of certificates. Similarly, with respect to any servicing shift whole loan, prior to the related servicing shift securitization date, the special servicer or the master servicer may, at the direction or upon the advice of the holder of the related controlling companion loan, take actions with respect to such whole loan that could adversely affect such whole loan, and therefore, the holders of some or all of the classes of certificates. The issuing entity (as the holder of a non-controlling note) will have limited consultation rights with respect to major decisions and the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an asset status report relating to a non-serviced whole loan (and the servicing shift whole loans) and in connection with a sale of a defaulted loan, and such rights will be exercised by the directing certificateholder for this transaction so long as no consultation termination event has occurred and is continuing and by the operating advisor if a consultation termination event has occurred and is continuing. Additionally, with respect to each non-serviced whole loan, in circumstances similar to those described above, the directing certificateholder (or the equivalent) of the related securitization trust will have the right to replace the special servicer of such securitization with or without cause, and without the consent of the issuing entity. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans” and “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans”.

 

Although the master servicer and the special servicer under the pooling and servicing agreement and the master servicer and the special servicer for a non-serviced mortgage loan are not permitted to take actions which are prohibited by law or violate the servicing standard under the applicable pooling and servicing agreement or the terms of the related mortgage loan documents, it is possible that the directing certificateholder (or the equivalent) under the applicable pooling and servicing agreement may direct or advise, as

 

 152

 

 

applicable, the special servicer to take actions with respect to such mortgage loan that conflict with the interests of the holders of certain classes of the certificates.

 

You will be acknowledging and agreeing, by your purchase of offered certificates, that the directing certificateholder, the controlling companion loan holder with respect to any servicing shift whole loan and the directing certificateholder (or the equivalent) under the pooling and servicing agreement governing the servicing of a non-serviced mortgage loan:

 

(i)  may have special relationships and interests that conflict with those of holders of one or more classes of certificates;

 

(ii)  may act solely in the interests of the holders of the controlling class (or, in the case of a non-serviced mortgage loan, the controlling class of the securitization trust formed under the pooling and servicing agreement governing the servicing of a non-serviced mortgage loan) or, in the case of any servicing shift mortgage loan, the related controlling companion loan holder may act solely in its own best interests;

 

(iii) does not have any duties to the holders of any class of certificates other than the controlling class (or, in the case of a non-serviced mortgage loan, the controlling class of the securitization trust formed under the pooling and servicing agreement governing the servicing of a non-serviced mortgage loan) or, in the case of any servicing shift mortgage loan, the related controlling companion loan holder does not have any duties to any other person;

 

(iv) may take actions that favor the interests of the holders of the controlling class (or, in the case of a non-serviced mortgage loan, the controlling class of the securitization trust formed under the pooling and servicing agreement governing the servicing of a non-serviced mortgage loan) over the interests of the holders of one or more other classes of certificates, or in the case of any servicing shift mortgage loan, the related controlling companion loan holder may take actions that favor only its own interests; and

 

(v)  will have no liability whatsoever (other than to a controlling class certificateholder) for having so acted as set forth in clauses (i) – (iv) above, and that no certificateholder may take any action whatsoever against the directing certificateholder or the directing certificateholder (or the equivalent) under the pooling and servicing agreement governing the servicing of a non-serviced mortgage loan, or the controlling companion loan holder of any servicing shift whole loan, or any of their respective affiliates, directors, officers, employees, shareholders, members, partners, agents or principals for having so acted.

 

In addition, if the certificate balances of the Class D-RR, Class E-RR, Class F-RR, Class G-RR and Class NR-RR certificates in the aggregate (taking into account the application of any cumulative appraisal reduction amounts to notionally reduce the certificate balances of such classes) is 25% or less of the initial certificate balances of such classes in the aggregate, (such event being referred to in this prospectus as an “operating advisor consultation event”), then so long as an operating advisor consultation event has occurred and is continuing, the operating advisor will have certain consultation rights with respect to certain matters relating to the mortgage loans (other than any non-serviced mortgage loan or servicing shift mortgage loan). Further, the operating advisor will have the right to recommend a replacement of the special servicer at any time, as and to the extent described under “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—The Operating Advisor” and “—Replacement of Special Servicer After Operating Advisor Recommendation and

 

 153

 

 

Certificateholder Vote”. The operating advisor is generally required to act on behalf of the issuing entity and in the best interest of, and for the benefit of, the certificateholders and, with respect to any serviced whole loan (other than a servicing shift whole loan), for the benefit of any holder of a related companion loan (as a collective whole as if the certificateholders and the companion loan holder constituted a single lender). We cannot assure you that any actions taken by the master servicer or the special servicer as a result of a recommendation or consultation by the operating advisor will not adversely affect the interests of investors in one or more classes of certificates. With respect to any non-serviced mortgage loan, the operating advisor, if any, appointed under the related pooling and servicing agreement governing the servicing of such non-serviced mortgage loan will have similar rights and duties under such pooling and servicing agreement. Further, the operating advisor will generally have no obligations or consultation rights under the pooling and servicing agreement for this transaction with respect to any non-serviced mortgage loan, servicing shift mortgage loan or any related REO Property. Additionally, with respect to a servicing shift mortgage loan, in the event that the related controlling pari passu companion loan is not included in a future securitization, the pooling and servicing agreement under this securitization does not provide for an operating advisor with rights and duties in connection with the servicing and administration of such serviced whole loan. See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans”.

 

You Have Limited Rights to Replace the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor or the Asset Representations Reviewer

 

In general, the directing certificateholder will have the right to terminate and replace the special servicer with or without cause so long as no control termination event has occurred and is continuing and other than in respect of any applicable excluded loans or any servicing shift whole loan as described in this prospectus. After the occurrence and during the continuance of a control termination event under the pooling and servicing agreement, the special servicer (other than with respect to a servicing shift whole loan) may also be removed in certain circumstances (x) if a request is made by certificateholders evidencing not less than 25% of the voting rights (taking into account the application of appraisal reductions to notionally reduce the respective certificate balances) and (y) upon receipt of approval by certificateholders holding at least 66-2/3% of a quorum of the certificateholders (which quorum consists of the holders of certificates evidencing at least 50% of the aggregate voting rights (taking into account the application of realized losses and the application of appraisal reductions to notionally reduce the respective certificate balances)). See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Replacement of the Special Servicer Without Cause”.

 

The certificateholders will generally have no right to replace and terminate the master servicer, the trustee and the certificate administrator without cause. The vote of the requisite percentage of certificateholders may terminate the operating advisor or the asset representations reviewer without cause. The vote of the requisite percentage of the certificateholders will be required to replace the master servicer, the special servicer, the operating advisor and the asset representations reviewer even for cause, and certain termination events may be waived by the vote of the requisite percentage of the certificateholders. With respect to each non-serviced whole loan, in circumstances similar to those described above, the directing certificateholder (or the equivalent) and the certificateholders of the securitization trust related to such other pooling and servicing agreement will have the right to replace the special servicer of such securitization with or without cause, and without the consent of the issuing entity. The certificateholders in this transaction generally will have no right to replace the master servicer or the special servicer

 

 154

 

 

of a pooling and servicing agreement relating to any non-serviced mortgage loan, though under certain circumstances the certificateholders may have a limited right to replace the master servicer or special servicer for cause solely with respect to such non-serviced whole loan under such pooling and servicing agreement. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loans” and “—The Non-Serviced AB Whole Loans”. We cannot assure that your lack of control over the replacement of these parties will not have an adverse impact on your investment.

 

The Rights of Companion Holders and Mezzanine Debt May Adversely Affect Your Investment

 

The holders of a serviced pari passu companion loan relating to a serviced pari passu mortgage loan (including, in the case of a servicing shift mortgage loan, the holder of any related non-controlling serviced pari passu companion loan) will have certain consultation rights (on a non-binding basis) with respect to major decisions and implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an asset status report relating to the related whole loan under the related intercreditor agreement. Such companion loan holder and its representative may have interests in conflict with those of the holders of some or all of the classes of certificates, and may advise the special servicer to take actions that conflict with the interests of the holders of certain classes of the certificates. Although any such consultation is non-binding and the special servicer may not be required to consult with the companion loan holder unless required to do so under the servicing standard, we cannot assure you that the exercise of the rights of such companion loan holder will not delay any action to be taken by the special servicer and will not adversely affect your investment.

 

With respect to any mortgage loan with one or more related subordinate companion loans, the holders of such companion loan(s) will have the right under certain limited circumstances to (i) cure certain defaults with respect to the related mortgage loan and to purchase (without payment of any yield maintenance charge or prepayment premium) the related mortgage loan and (ii) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a “control appraisal period” or a “control termination event” with respect to such subordinate companion loan, approve certain modifications and consent to certain actions to be taken with respect to the related whole loan and replace the special servicer with respect to the related whole loan. The rights of the holder of such subordinate companion loan could adversely affect your ability to protect your interests with respect to matters relating to the related mortgage loan. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Serviced AB Whole Loans”, and “—The Non-Serviced AB Whole Loans”.

 

With respect to mortgage loans that have mezzanine debt or permit mezzanine debt in the future, the related mezzanine lender generally will have the right under certain limited circumstances to (i) cure certain defaults with respect to, and under certain default scenarios, purchase (without payment of any yield maintenance charge or prepayment premium) the related mortgage loan and (ii) so long as no event of default with respect to the related mortgage loan continues after the mezzanine lender’s cure right has expired, approve certain modifications and consent to certain actions to be taken with respect to the related mortgage loan. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Mortgage Pool Characteristics” and “—Additional Indebtedness”.

 

The purchase option that the holder of mezzanine debt holds pursuant to the related intercreditor agreement generally permits such holder to purchase its related defaulted mortgage loan for a purchase price generally equal to the outstanding principal balance of the related defaulted mortgage loan, together with accrued and unpaid interest (exclusive of default interest) on, and unpaid servicing expenses, protective advances and interest on advances related to, such defaulted mortgage loan. However, in the event such holder is

 

 155

 

 

not obligated to pay some or all of those fees and additional expenses, including any liquidation fee payable to the special servicer under the terms of the pooling and servicing agreement, then the exercise of such holder’s rights under the intercreditor agreement to purchase the related mortgage loan from the issuing entity may result in a loss to the issuing entity in the amount of those fees and additional expenses. In addition, such holder’s right to cure defaults under the related defaulted mortgage loan could delay the issuing entity’s ability to realize on or otherwise take action with respect to such defaulted mortgage loan.

 

In addition, with respect to any non-serviced mortgage loan or servicing shift mortgage loan, you will generally not have any right to vote or consent with respect to any matters relating to the servicing and administration of such non-serviced mortgage loan or servicing shift mortgage loan, however, the directing certificateholder (or equivalent) of the related securitization trust holding the controlling note for the related non-serviced whole loan (or the holder of the related controlling companion loan in the case of a servicing shift whole loan), will have the right to vote or consent with respect to certain specified matters relating to the servicing and administration of such non-serviced mortgage loan or servicing shift mortgage loan, as applicable. The interests of the securitization trust holding the controlling note (or the holder of the related controlling companion loan in the case of a servicing shift whole loan) may conflict with those of the holders of some or all of the classes of certificates, and accordingly the directing certificateholder (or the equivalent) of such securitization trust (or the holder of the related controlling companion loan in the case of a servicing shift whole loan) may direct or advise the special servicer for the related securitization trust (or with respect to a servicing shift whole loan prior to the related servicing shift securitization date, the special servicer under the pooling and servicing agreement for this securitization) to take actions that conflict with the interests of the holders of certain classes of the certificates. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loans”, “—The Non-Serviced AB Whole Loans” and “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans”.

 

You will be acknowledging and agreeing, by your purchase of offered certificates, that any companion loan holder:

 

may have special relationships and interests that conflict with those of holders of one or more classes of certificates;

 

may act solely in its own interests, without regard to your interests;

 

do not have any duties to any other person, including the holders of any class of certificates;

 

may take actions that favor its interests over the interests of the holders of one or more classes of certificates; and

 

will have no liability whatsoever for having so acted and that no certificateholder may take any action whatsoever against the companion loan holder or its representative or any director, officer, employee, agent or principal of the companion loan holder or its representative for having so acted.

 

Risks Relating to Modifications of the Mortgage Loans

 

As delinquencies or defaults occur, the special servicer will be required to utilize an increasing amount of resources to work with borrowers to maximize collections on the

 

 156

 

 

mortgage loans serviced by it. This may include modifying the terms of such mortgage loans that are in default or whose default is reasonably foreseeable. At each step in the process of trying to bring a defaulted mortgage loan current or in maximizing proceeds to the issuing entity, the special servicer will be required to invest time and resources not otherwise required when collecting payments on performing mortgage loans. Modifications of mortgage loans implemented by the special servicer in order to maximize ultimate proceeds of such mortgage loans to the issuing entity may have the effect of, among other things, reducing or otherwise changing the mortgage rate, forgiving or forbearing payments of principal, interest or other amounts owed under the mortgage loan, extending the final maturity date of the mortgage loan, capitalizing or deferring delinquent interest and other amounts owed under the mortgage loan, forbearing payment of a portion of the principal balance of the mortgage loan or any combination of these or other modifications.

 

Any modified mortgage loan may remain in the issuing entity, and the modification may result in a reduction in (or may eliminate) the funds received in respect of such mortgage loan. In particular, any modification to reduce or forgive the amount of interest payable on the mortgage loan will reduce the amount of cash flow available to make distributions of interest on the certificates, which will likely impact the most subordinated classes of certificates that suffer the shortfall. To the extent the modification defers principal payments on the mortgage loan (including as a result of an extension of its stated maturity date), certificates entitled to principal distributions will likely be repaid more slowly than anticipated, and if principal payments on the mortgage loan are forgiven, the reduction will cause a write-down of the certificate balances of the certificates in reverse order of seniority. See “Description of the Certificates—Subordination; Allocation of Realized Losses”.

 

The ability to modify mortgage loans by the special servicer may be limited by several factors. First, if the special servicer has to consider a large number of modifications, operational constraints may affect the ability of the special servicer to adequately address all of the needs of the borrowers. Furthermore, the terms of the related servicing agreement may prohibit the special servicer from taking certain actions in connection with a loan modification, such as an extension of the loan term beyond a specified date such as a specified number of years prior to the rated final distribution date. You should consider the importance of the role of the special servicer in maximizing collections for the transaction and the impediments the special servicer may encounter when servicing delinquent or defaulted mortgage loans. In some cases, failure by the special servicer to timely modify the terms of a defaulted mortgage loan may reduce amounts available for distribution on the certificates in respect of such mortgage loan, and consequently may reduce amounts available for distribution to the related certificates. In addition, even if a loan modification is successfully completed, we cannot assure you that the related borrower will continue to perform under the terms of the modified mortgage loan.

 

Modifications that are designed to maximize collections in the aggregate may adversely affect a particular class of certificates. The pooling and servicing agreement obligates the special servicer not to consider the interests of individual classes of certificates. You should note that in connection with considering a modification or other type of loss mitigation, the special servicer may incur or bear related out-of-pocket expenses, such as appraisal fees, which would be reimbursed to the special servicer from the transaction as servicing advances and paid from amounts received on the modified loan or from other mortgage loans in the mortgage pool but in each case, prior to distributions being made on the certificates.

Sponsors May Not Make Required Repurchases or Substitutions of Defective Mortgage Loans or Pay Any Loss of Value Payment Sufficient to Cover All Losses on a Defective Mortgage Loan

 

Each sponsor is the sole warranting party in respect of the mortgage loans sold by such sponsor to us. Neither we nor any of our affiliates (other than UBS AG, New York Branch, a sponsor, in respect of the mortgage loans it will contribute to this securitization) is obligated to repurchase or substitute any mortgage loan or make any payment to compensate the issuing entity in connection with a breach of any representation or warranty of a sponsor or any document defect, if the sponsor defaults on its obligation to do so. Notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to the related mortgage loan purchase agreement, Ladder Capital Finance Holdings LLLP, Series REIT of Ladder Capital Finance Holdings LLLP and Series TRS of Ladder Capital Finance Holdings LLLP will agree to guarantee the payment obligation of Ladder Capital Finance LLC in connection with any such repurchase by Ladder Capital Finance LLC. We cannot assure you that the sponsors, notwithstanding the existence of any payment guarantee, will effect such repurchases or substitutions or make such payment to compensate the issuing entity. Although a loss of value payment may only be made by the related mortgage loan seller (or, in the case of mortgage loans sold by Ladder Capital Finance LLC, that mortgage loan seller, Ladder Capital Finance Holdings LLLP, Series REIT of Ladder Capital Finance Holdings LLLP and/or Series TRS of Ladder Capital Finance Holdings LLLP) to the extent that the special servicer deems such amount to be sufficient to compensate the issuing entity for such material defect or material breach, we cannot assure you that such loss of value payment will fully compensate the issuing entity for such material defect or material breach in all respects. In particular, in the case of a non-serviced whole loan that is serviced under the related non-serviced pooling and servicing agreement entered into in connection with the securitization of the related pari passu companion loan, the asset representations reviewer under that pooling and servicing agreement, if any, may review the diligence file relating to such pari passu companion loan concurrently with the review of the asset representations reviewer of the related mortgage loan for this transaction, and their findings may be inconsistent, and such inconsistency may allow the related mortgage loan seller to challenge the findings of the asset representations reviewer of the affected mortgage loan. In addition, the sponsors may have various legal defenses available to them in connection with a repurchase or substitution obligation or an obligation to pay the loss of value payment. Any mortgage loan that is not repurchased or substituted and that is not a “qualified mortgage” for a REMIC may cause designated portions of the issuing entity to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the issuing entity to incur a tax.

 

Each sponsor (or, in the case of mortgage loans sold by Ladder Capital Finance LLC, each of that mortgage loan seller, Ladder Capital Finance Holdings LLLP, Series REIT of Ladder Capital Finance Holdings LLLP and Series TRS of Ladder Capital Finance Holdings LLLP) has only limited assets with which to fulfill any obligations on its part that may arise as a result of a material document defect or a material breach of any of the sponsor’s representations or warranties. We cannot assure you that a sponsor has or will have sufficient assets with which to fulfill any obligations on its part that may arise, or that any such entity will maintain its existence.

 

See “Description of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements”.

 

Risks Relating to Interest on Advances and Special Servicing Compensation

 

To the extent described in this prospectus, the master servicer, the special servicer and the trustee will each be entitled to receive interest on unreimbursed advances made by it at the “prime rate” as published in The Wall Street Journal. This interest will generally accrue from the date on which the related advance is made or the related expense is incurred to

 

 158

 

 

the date of reimbursement. In addition, under certain circumstances, including delinquencies in the payment of principal and/or interest, a mortgage loan will be specially serviced and the special servicer will be entitled to compensation for special servicing activities. The right to receive interest on advances or special servicing compensation is senior to the rights of certificateholders to receive distributions on the offered certificates. The payment of interest on advances and the payment of compensation to the special servicer may lead to shortfalls in amounts otherwise distributable on your certificates.

 

Bankruptcy of a Servicer May Adversely Affect Collections on the Mortgage Loans and the Ability to Replace the Servicer

 

The master servicer or the special servicer may be eligible to become a debtor under the federal bankruptcy code or enter into receivership under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (“FDIA”). If the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, were to become a debtor under the federal bankruptcy code or enter into receivership under the FDIA, although the pooling and servicing agreement provides that such an event would entitle the issuing entity to terminate the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, the provision would most likely not be enforceable. However, a rejection of the pooling and servicing agreement by the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, in a bankruptcy proceeding or repudiation of the pooling and servicing agreement in a receivership under the FDIA would be treated as a breach of the pooling and servicing agreement and give the issuing entity a claim for damages and the ability to appoint a successor master servicer or special servicer, as applicable. An assumption under the federal bankruptcy code would require the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, to cure its pre-bankruptcy defaults, if any, and demonstrate that it is able to perform following assumption. The bankruptcy court may permit the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, to assume the servicing agreement and assign it to a third party. An insolvency by an entity governed by state insolvency law would vary depending on the laws of the particular state. We cannot assure you that a bankruptcy or receivership of the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, would not adversely impact the servicing of the related mortgage loans or the issuing entity would be entitled to terminate the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, in a timely manner or at all.

 

If the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, becomes the subject of bankruptcy or similar proceedings, the issuing entity claim to collections in that master servicer or special servicer’s, as applicable, possession at the time of the bankruptcy filing or other similar filing may not be perfected. In this event, funds available to pay principal and interest on your certificates may be delayed or reduced.

 

The Sponsors, the Depositor and the Issuing Entity Are Subject to Bankruptcy or Insolvency Laws That May Affect the Issuing Entity’s Ownership of the Mortgage Loans

 

In the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of a sponsor or the depositor, it is possible the issuing entity’s right to payment from or ownership of the mortgage loans could be challenged, and if such challenge were successful, delays, reductions in payments and/or losses on the certificates could occur.

 

The transfer of the mortgage loans by the sponsors in connection with this offering is not expected to qualify for the securitization safe harbor adopted by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) for securitizations sponsored by insured depository institutions. However, the safe harbor is non-exclusive.

 

 159

 

 

In the case of each sponsor, an opinion of counsel will be rendered on the closing date, based on certain facts and assumptions and subject to certain qualifications, to the effect that the transfer of the related mortgage loans by such sponsor to the depositor would generally be respected in the event of a bankruptcy or insolvency of such sponsor. A legal opinion is not a guaranty as to what any particular court would actually decide, but rather an opinion as to the decision a court would reach if the issues are competently presented and the court followed existing precedent as to legal and equitable principles applicable in bankruptcy cases. In any event, we cannot assure you that the FDIC, a bankruptcy trustee or another interested party, as applicable, would not attempt to assert that such transfer was not a sale. Even if a challenge were not successful, it is possible that payments on the certificates would be delayed while a court resolves the claim.

 

In addition, since the issuing entity is a common law trust, it may not be eligible for relief under the federal bankruptcy laws, unless it can be characterized as a “business trust” for purposes of the federal bankruptcy laws. Bankruptcy courts look at various considerations in making this determination, so it is not possible to predict with any certainty whether or not the issuing entity would be characterized as a “business trust”. Regardless of whether a bankruptcy court ultimately determines that the issuing entity is a “business trust”, it is possible that payments on the offered certificates would be delayed while the court resolved the issue.

 

Title II of the Dodd-Frank Act provides for an orderly liquidation authority (“OLA”) under which the FDIC can be appointed as receiver of certain systemically important non-bank financial companies and their direct or indirect subsidiaries in certain cases. We make no representation as to whether this would apply to any of the sponsors. In January 2011, the then-acting general counsel of the FDIC issued a letter (the “Acting General Counsel’s Letter”) in which he expressed his view that, under then-existing regulations, the FDIC, as receiver under the OLA, would not, in the exercise of its OLA repudiation powers, recover as property of a financial company assets transferred by the financial company, provided that the transfer satisfies the conditions for the exclusion of assets from the financial company’s estate under the federal bankruptcy code. The letter further noted that, while the FDIC staff may be considering recommending further regulations under OLA, the acting general counsel would recommend that such regulations incorporate a 90-day transition period for any provisions affecting the FDIC’s statutory power to disaffirm or repudiate contracts. If, however, the FDIC were to adopt a different approach than that described in the Acting General Counsel’s Letter, delays or reductions in payments on the offered certificates would occur.

 

Société Générale, a sponsor, a mortgage loan seller and an originator, is a French limited liability company (“société anonyme”) authorized as a bank and is subject to the provisions of French insolvency laws. Pursuant to French insolvency laws, certain transactions entered into by a French registered company may be subsequently challenged if entered into during the “hardening period” (“periode suspecte”). In the event the challenge was successful, the transfer of mortgage loans by Société Générale may be declared null and void by the insolvency judge. The hardening period is the period between the date on which the company became insolvent and the date of the order of the court commencing an insolvency proceeding. The date of insolvency (“état decessation des paiements”) is deemed to be the date of the court order commencing the proceeding, unless the court sets an earlier date which may be no earlier than 18 months before the date of such court order. In the event a French insolvency proceeding is open against Société Générale and if the transfer of mortgage loans occurred during such 18-month period before the opening of the proceeding, it is possible that a court appointed officer, the court or the public prosecutor would try to claim that Société Générale was already insolvent at the time of the transfer and try to challenge the validity of such transfer under French insolvency

rules. Even if a challenge were not successful, resolution of such a matter could cause significant delay which may impact on payments under the certificates. In addition, Société Générale’s obligation to repurchase mortgage loans or to cure certain breaches or defects with respect to mortgage loans could be subject to the “bail-in” powers of a Resolution Authority and such sponsor’s liabilities, including the obligation to repurchase certain defective mortgage loans could, among other things, be reduced, converted or extinguished in full. Alternatively, the BRRD gives the power to a Resolution Authority to transfer the assets of certain relevant institutions to a third party entity. See “—Legal and Regulatory Provisions Affecting Investors Could Adversely Affect the Liquidity of the Offered Certificates”.

 

If Société Générale were acting through its New York branch, and were to become the subject of an insolvency proceeding under the laws of France and a proceeding were initiated under Chapter 15 of the federal bankruptcy code or the New York Superintendent of Financial Services were to take possession of the New York branch, it is possible that the New York Superintendent of Financial Services, a creditor or trustee in bankruptcy of Société Générale may argue that the sale of its interest in the mortgage loans by Société Générale was a pledge of the receivables rather than a sale. The New York Superintendent of Financial Services, a creditor, a bankruptcy trustee or another interested party could still attempt to assert that the transfer of Société Générale’s interest in the mortgage loans was not a sale. If such party’s challenge is successful, payments on the certificates would be reduced or delayed. Even if the challenge is not successful, payments on the certificates could be delayed while a court resolves the claim.

 

The Requirement of the Special Servicer to Obtain FIRREA-Compliant Appraisals May Result in an Increased Cost to the Issuing Entity

 

Each appraisal obtained pursuant to the pooling and servicing agreement is required to contain a statement, or is accompanied by a letter from the appraiser, to the effect that the appraisal was performed in accordance with the requirements of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 (“FIRREA”), as in effect on the date such appraisal was obtained. Any such appraisal is likely to be more expensive than an appraisal that is not FIRREA compliant. Such increased cost could result in losses to the issuing entity. Additionally, FIRREA compliant appraisals are required to assume a value determined by a typically motivated buyer and seller, and could result in a higher appraised value than one prepared assuming a forced liquidation or other distress situation. In addition, because a FIRREA compliant appraisal may result in a higher valuation than a non-FIRREA compliant appraisal, there may be a delay in calculating and applying appraisal reductions, which could result in the holders of a given class of certificates continuing to hold the full non-notionally reduced amount of such certificates for a longer period of time than would be the case if a non-FIRREA compliant appraisal were obtained.

 

Tax Matters and Changes in Tax Law May Adversely Impact the Mortgage Loans or Your Investment

 

Tax Considerations Relating to Foreclosure

 

If the issuing entity acquires a mortgaged property (or, in the case of a non-serviced mortgage loan, a beneficial interest in a mortgaged property) subsequent to a default on the related mortgage loan pursuant to a foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, the special servicer (or, in the case of a non-serviced mortgage loan, the related non-serviced special servicer) would be required to retain an independent contractor to operate and manage such mortgaged property. Among other restrictions, the independent contractor generally will not be able to perform construction work other than repair, maintenance or

 

 161

 

 

certain types of tenant build-outs, unless the construction was more than 10% completed when the mortgage loan defaulted or when the default of the mortgage loan became imminent. Generally, any (i) net income from such operation (other than qualifying “rents from real property”) (ii) rental income based on the net profits of a tenant or sub-tenant or allocable to a service that is non-customary in the area and for the type of property involved and (iii) rental income attributable to personal property leased in connection with a lease of real property, if the rent attributable to the personal property exceeds 15% of the total rent for the taxable year, will subject the Lower-Tier REMIC to federal tax (and possibly state or local tax) on such income at the highest marginal corporate tax rate. No determination has been made whether any portion of the income from the mortgaged properties constitutes “rent from real property”. Any such imposition of tax will reduce the net proceeds available for distribution to certificateholders. The special servicer (or, in the case of a non-serviced mortgage loan, the related non-serviced special servicer) may permit the Lower-Tier REMIC to earn “net income from foreclosure property” that is subject to tax if it determines that the net after-tax benefit to holders of certificates and any related companion loan holders, as a collective whole, could reasonably be expected to be greater than under another method of operating or leasing the mortgaged property. See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Realization Upon Mortgage Loans”. In addition, if the issuing entity were to acquire one or more mortgaged properties (or, in the case of a non-serviced mortgage loan, a beneficial interest in a mortgaged property) pursuant to a foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, upon acquisition of those mortgaged properties (or, in the case of a non-serviced mortgage loan, a beneficial interest in a mortgaged property), the issuing entity may in certain jurisdictions, particularly in New York, be required to pay state or local transfer or excise taxes upon liquidation of such properties. Such state or local taxes may reduce net proceeds available for distribution to the certificateholders.

 

REMIC Status

 

If an entity intended to qualify as a REMIC fails to satisfy one or more of the REMIC provisions of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, during any taxable year, the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, provides that such entity will not be treated as a REMIC for such year and any year thereafter. In such event, the relevant entity would likely be treated as an association taxable as a corporation under the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. If designated portions of the issuing entity are so treated, the offered certificates may be treated as stock interests in an association and not as debt instruments.

 

Material Federal Tax Considerations Regarding Original Issue Discount

 

One or more classes of offered certificates may be issued with “original issue discount” for federal income tax purposes, which generally would result in the holder recognizing taxable income in advance of the receipt of cash attributable to that income. Accordingly, investors must have sufficient sources of cash to pay any federal, state or local income taxes with respect to the original issue discount. In addition, such original issue discount will be required to be accrued and included in income based on the assumption that no defaults will occur and no losses will be incurred with respect to the mortgage loans. This could lead to the inclusion of amounts in ordinary income early in the term of the certificate that later prove uncollectible, giving rise to a bad debt deduction. In the alternative, an investor may be required to treat such uncollectible amount as a capital loss under Section 166 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Description of the Mortgage Pool

 

General

 

The assets of the issuing entity will consist of a pool of forty-nine (49) fixed rate mortgage loans (the “Mortgage Loans” or, collectively, the “Mortgage Pool”) with an aggregate principal balance as of the Cut-off Date of $743,403,651 (the “Initial Pool Balance”). The “Cut-off Date” means the respective due dates for such Mortgage Loans in November 2017 (or, in the case of any Mortgage Loan that has its first due date after November 2017, the date that would have been its due date in November 2017 under the terms of that Mortgage Loan if a monthly debt service payment were scheduled to be due in that month).

 

Twenty-one (21) of the Mortgage Loans, representing approximately 65.6% of the Initial Pool Balance, are each part of a larger whole loan, each of which is comprised of the related Mortgage Loan and one or more loans that are pari passu in right of payment to the related Mortgage Loan (collectively referred to in this prospectus as “Pari Passu Companion Loans”) and/or are subordinate in right of payment to the related Mortgage Loan (referred to in this prospectus as a “Subordinate Companion Loan”). The Pari Passu Companion Loans and the Subordinate Companion Loans are collectively referred to as the “Companion Loans” in this prospectus, and each Mortgage Loan and the related Companion Loans are collectively referred to as a “Whole Loan”. Each Companion Loan is secured by the same mortgage and the same single assignment of leases and rents securing the related Mortgage Loan. See “—The Whole Loans” below for more information regarding the rights of the holders of any Companion Loan.

 

The Mortgage Loans were selected for this transaction from mortgage loans specifically originated for securitizations of this type by the mortgage loan sellers and their respective affiliates, or originated by others and acquired by the mortgage loan sellers specifically for a securitization of this type, in either case, taking into account, among other factors, rating agency criteria and anticipated feedback from investors in the most subordinate certificates, property type and geographic location.

The Mortgage Loans were originated, co-originated or acquired by the mortgage loan sellers set forth in the following chart and such entities will sell their respective Mortgage Loans to the depositor, which will in turn sell the Mortgage Loans to the issuing entity:

Such Mortgage Loan was underwritten pursuant to Sociéte Générale’s underwriting guidelines.

 

Each Mortgage Loan is evidenced by one or more promissory notes or similar evidence of indebtedness (each a “Mortgage Note”) and, in each case, is secured by (or, in the case of an indemnity deed of trust, backed by a guaranty that is secured by) one or more mortgages, deeds of trust or other similar security instruments (each, a “Mortgage”) creating a first lien on a fee simple and/or leasehold interest in one or more commercial or multifamily properties (each, a “Mortgaged Property”).

 

The Mortgage Loans are generally non-recourse loans. In the event of a borrower default on a non-recourse Mortgage Loan, recourse may be had only against the specific Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties and the other limited assets securing such Mortgage Loan, and not against the related borrower’s other assets. The Mortgage Loans are not insured or guaranteed by the sponsors, the mortgage loan sellers or any other person or entity unrelated to the respective borrower. You should consider all of the Mortgage Loans to be non-recourse loans as to which recourse in the case of default will be limited to the specific property and other assets, if any, pledged to secure the related Mortgage Loan.

 

Certain Calculations and Definitions

 

This prospectus sets forth certain information with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Mortgaged Properties. The sum in any column of the tables presented in Annex A-2 or Annex A-3 may not equal the indicated total due to rounding. The information in Annex A-1 with respect to the Mortgage Loans (or Whole Loans, if applicable) and the Mortgaged Properties is based upon the pool of the Mortgage Loans as it is expected to be constituted as of the close of business on November 16, 2017 (the “Closing Date”), assuming that (i) all scheduled principal and interest payments due on or before the Cut-off Date will be made and (ii) there will be no principal prepayments on or before the Closing Date. The statistics in Annex A-1, Annex A-2 and Annex A-3 were primarily derived from information provided to the depositor by each sponsor, which information may have been obtained from the borrowers.

 

All percentages of the Mortgage Loans and Mortgaged Properties, or of any specified group of Mortgage Loans and Mortgaged Properties, referred to in this prospectus without further description are approximate percentages of the Initial Pool Balance by Cut-off Date Balances and/or the allocated loan amount allocated to such Mortgaged Properties as of the Cut-off Date.

 

All information presented in this prospectus with respect to each Mortgage Loan with one or more Pari Passu Companion Loans is calculated in a manner that reflects the aggregate indebtedness evidenced by that Mortgage Loan and the related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s), unless otherwise indicated. All information presented in this prospectus with respect to the Mortgage Loans with a related Subordinate Companion Loan is calculated without regard to any such Subordinate Companion Loan, unless otherwise indicated.

 

Definitions

 

For purposes of this prospectus, including the information presented in the Annexes, the indicated terms have the following meanings:

 

ADR” means, for any hotel property, average daily rate.

 

 165

 

 

Annual Debt Service” generally means, for any Mortgage Loan, 12 times the average of the principal and interest payments for the first 12 payment periods of the Mortgage Loan following the Cut-off Date, provided that:

 

in the case of a Mortgage Loan that provides for interest-only payments through maturity or the Anticipated Repayment Date, as applicable, such term means the aggregate interest payments scheduled to be due on the Due Date following the Cut-off Date and the 11 Due Dates thereafter for such Mortgage Loan; and

 

in the case of a Mortgage Loan that provides for an initial interest-only period and provides for scheduled amortization payments after the expiration of such interest-only period prior to the maturity date or the Anticipated Repayment Date, as applicable, 12 times the monthly payment of principal and interest payable during the amortization period.

 

Monthly debt service and the debt service coverage ratios are also calculated using the average of the principal and interest payments for the first 12 payment periods of the Mortgage Loan following the Cut-off Date, subject to the proviso to the prior sentence. In the case of any Whole Loan, Annual Debt Service is calculated with respect to the Mortgage Loan including any related Companion Loan(s) (other than any related Subordinate Companion Loan). Annual Debt Service is calculated with regard to the related Mortgage Loan included in the issuing entity only, unless otherwise indicated.

 

Appraised Value” means, for any Mortgaged Property, the appraiser’s adjusted value of such Mortgaged Property as determined by the most recent third party appraisal of the Mortgaged Property available to the related mortgage loan seller as set forth under “Appraised Value” on Annex A-1. The Appraised Value set forth on Annex A-1 is the “as-is” value unless otherwise specified in this prospectus, on Annex A-1 and/or the related footnotes. In certain cases, the appraisals state values other than “as-is” as well as the “as-is” value for the related Mortgaged Property that assume that certain events will occur with respect to the re-tenanting, construction, renovation or repairs at such Mortgaged Property. In most such cases, the related mortgage loan seller has taken reserves sufficient to complete such re-tenanting, construction, renovation or repairs. We make no representation that sufficient amounts have been reserved or that the appraised value would approximate either the value that would be determined in a current appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property or the amount that would be realized upon a sale. In the case of certain Mortgage Loans as described under “—Appraised Value”, the Cut-off Date Loan-to-Value Ratio and/or the Loan-to-Value Ratio at Maturity or ARD for such Mortgage Loans has been calculated based on an other than “as-is” Appraised Value of a related Mortgaged Property.

 

Balloon Balance” means, with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the principal amount that will be due at maturity (or, in the case of any ARD Loan, outstanding at the related Anticipated Repayment Date) for such Mortgage Loan, assuming no payment defaults or principal prepayments.

 

Cash Flow Analysis” is, with respect to one or more of the Mortgaged Properties securing a Mortgage Loan among the 15 largest Mortgage Loans or groups of cross-collateralized Mortgage Loans, a summary presentation of certain adjusted historical financial information provided by the related borrower, and a calculation of the Underwritten Net Cash Flow expressed as (a) “Effective Gross Income” minus (b) “Total Operating Expenses” and underwritten replacement reserves and (if applicable) tenant improvements and leasing commissions. For this purpose:

 

 166

 

 

Effective Gross Income” means, with respect to any Mortgaged Property, the revenue derived from the use and operation of that property, less allowances for vacancies, concessions and credit losses. The “revenue” component of such calculation was generally determined on the basis of the information described with respect to the “revenue” component described under “Underwritten Net Cash Flow” below. In general, any non-recurring revenue items and non-property related revenue are eliminated from the calculation of Effective Gross Income.

 

Total Operating Expenses” means, with respect to any Mortgaged Property, all operating expenses associated with that property, including, but not limited to, utilities, administrative expenses, repairs and maintenance, management fees, advertising costs, insurance premiums, real estate taxes and (if applicable) ground rent. Such expenses were generally determined on the basis of the same information as the “expense” component described under “Underwritten Net Cash Flow” below.

 

To the extent available, selected historical income, expenses and net income associated with the operation of the related Mortgaged Property securing each Mortgage Loan appear in each cash flow summary contained in Annex A-3. Such information is one of the sources (but not the only source) of information on which calculations of Underwritten Net Cash Flow are based. The historical information presented is derived from audited and/or unaudited financial statements provided by the borrowers. The historical information in the cash flow summaries reflects adjustments made by the mortgage loan seller to exclude certain items contained in the related financial statements that were not considered in calculating Underwritten Net Cash Flow and is presented in a different format from the financial statements to show a comparison to the Underwritten Net Cash Flow. In general, solely for purposes of the presentation of historical financial information, the amount set forth under the caption “gross income” consists of the “total revenues” set forth in the applicable financial statements (including (as and to the extent stated) rental revenues, tenant reimbursements and recovery income (and, in the case of hospitality properties and certain other property types, parking income, telephone income, food and beverage income, laundry income and other income), with adjustments to exclude amounts recognized on the financial statements under a straight-line method of recognizing rental income (including increases in minimum rents and rent abatements) from operating leases over their lives and items indicated as extraordinary or one-time revenue collections or considered nonrecurring in property operations. The amount set forth under the caption “expenses” in the historical financial information consists of the total expenses set forth in the applicable financial statements, with adjustments to exclude allocated parent company expenses, restructuring charges and charges associated with employee severance and termination benefits, interest expenses paid to company affiliates or unrelated third parties, charges for depreciation and amortization and items indicated as extraordinary or one-time losses or considered nonrecurring in property operations.

 

The selected historical information presented in the cash flow summaries is derived from audited and/or unaudited financial statements furnished by the respective borrowers which have not been verified by the depositor, any underwriters, the mortgage loan sellers or any other person. Audits or other verification of such financial statements could result in changes thereto, which could in turn result in the historical net income presented herein being overstated or understated.

 

Cut-off Date Balance” of any Mortgage Loan, will be the unpaid principal balance of that Mortgage Loan, as of the Cut-off Date for such Mortgage Loan, after application of all payments due on or before that date, whether or not received.

 

 167

 

 

An “LTV Ratio” for any Mortgage Loan, as of any date of determination, is a fraction, expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which is the scheduled principal balance of the Mortgage Loan as of that date (assuming no defaults or prepayments on the Mortgage Loan prior to that date), and the denominator of which is the “as-is” (or, in the case of Mortgage Loans identified under “—Appraised Value” below, other than “as-is”) Appraised Value as determined by an appraisal of the Mortgaged Property obtained at or about the time of the origination of the related Mortgage Loan.

 

The LTV Ratio as of the related maturity date or, if applicable, the Anticipated Repayment Date, set forth in Annex A-2 was calculated based on the principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan on the related maturity date or Anticipated Repayment Date, as the case may be, or assuming all principal payments required to be made on or prior to the related maturity date or, if applicable, the Anticipated Repayment Date (in either case, not including the Maturity Date Balloon or ARD Payment) are made. In addition, because it is based on the value of a Mortgaged Property determined as of loan origination, the information set forth in this prospectus in Annex A-1 and in Annex A-2 is not necessarily a reliable measure of the related borrower’s current equity in each Mortgaged Property. In a declining real estate market, the appraised value of a Mortgaged Property could have decreased from the appraised value determined at origination and the current actual LTV Ratio of a Mortgage Loan and the LTV Ratio at maturity or anticipated repayment date may be higher than its LTV Ratio at origination even after taking into account amortization since origination. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Appraisals May Not Reflect Current or Future Market Value of Each Property”.

 

In the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan unless otherwise indicated, LTV Ratios were calculated with respect to such Mortgage Loan including any related Companion Loan(s) (except, in the case of a Mortgage Loan with a Subordinate Companion Loan, LTV Ratios were calculated without regard to any related Subordinate Companion Loan.

 

The characteristics described above and in Annex A-2, along with certain additional characteristics of the Mortgage Loans presented on a loan-by-loan basis, are set forth in Annex A-1.

 

Cut-off Date Loan-to-Value Ratio” or “Cut-off Date LTV Ratio” generally means the ratio, expressed as a percentage, of the Cut-off Date Balance of a Mortgage Loan to the Appraised Value of the related Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties determined as described under “—Appraised Value” in this prospectus. See also the footnotes to Annex A-1 in this prospectus. Because the Appraised Values of the Mortgaged Properties were determined prior to origination, the information set forth in this prospectus, including the Annexes hereto, is not necessarily a reliable measure of property value or the related borrower’s current equity in each Mortgaged Property. In a declining real estate market, the appraised value of a Mortgaged Property may have decreased from the appraised value determined at origination and the current actual cut-off date loan-to-value ratio of a Mortgage Loan may be higher than the Cut-off Date LTV Ratio that we present in this prospectus, even after taking into account any amortization since origination. No representation is made that any Appraised Value presented in this prospectus would approximate either the value that would be determined in a current appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property or the amount that would be realized upon a sale of that property. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Appraisals May Not Reflect Current or Future Market Value of Each Property” in this prospectus. In the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, the Cut-off Date LTV Ratio was calculated based on the aggregate principal balance of the Pari Passu Mortgage Loan and the related Pari Passu

 

 168

 

 

Companion Loan(s) (but excluding any related Subordinate Companion Loan) as of the Cut-off Date.

 

Debt Service Coverage Ratio”, “DSCR”, “Underwritten Debt Service Coverage Ratio”, “U/W NCF DSCR” or “U/W DSCR” generally means the ratio of the Underwritten Net Cash Flow for the related Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties to the Annual Debt Service as shown on Annex A-1.

 

In the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, such debt service coverage ratio was calculated based on the aggregate Annual Debt Service of the Pari Passu Mortgage Loan and the related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s) (but excluding any related Subordinate Companion Loan).

 

In general, debt service coverage ratios are used by income property lenders to measure the ratio of (a) cash currently generated by a property or expected to be generated by a property based upon executed leases that is available for debt service to (b) required debt service payments. However, debt service coverage ratios only measure the current, or recent, ability of a property to service mortgage debt. If a property does not possess a stable operating expectancy (for instance, if it is subject to material leases that are scheduled to expire during the loan term and that provide for above-market rents and/or that may be difficult to replace), a debt service coverage ratio may not be a reliable indicator of a property’s ability to service the mortgage debt over the entire remaining loan term. See the definition of “Underwritten Net Cash Flow” below.

 

The Underwritten Debt Service Coverage Ratios presented in this prospectus appear for illustrative purposes only and, as discussed above, are limited in their usefulness in assessing the current, or predicting the future, ability of a Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties to generate sufficient cash flow to repay the related Mortgage Loan. No representation is made that the Underwritten Debt Service Coverage Ratios presented in this prospectus accurately reflect that ability.

 

GLA” means gross leasable area.

 

In-Place Cash Management” means, for funds directed into a lockbox, such funds are generally not made immediately available to the related borrower, but instead are forwarded to a cash management account controlled by the lender and the funds are disbursed according to the related Mortgage Loan documents with any excess remitted to the related borrower (unless an event of default under the Mortgage Loan documents or one or more specified trigger events have occurred and are outstanding) generally on a daily basis.

 

Loan Per Unit” means the principal balance per unit of measure (as applicable) as of the Cut-off Date. With respect to any Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan structure, the Loan Per Unit is calculated with regard to both the related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s) and the related Mortgage Loan included in the issuing entity, but without regard to any related Subordinate Companion Loan, unless otherwise indicated.

 

LTV Ratio at Maturity or ARD”, “LTV Ratio at Maturity or Anticipated Repayment Date” and “Balloon LTV Ratio” generally means the ratio, expressed as a percentage, of (a) the principal balance of a balloon Mortgage Loan scheduled to be outstanding on the stated maturity date (or, in the case of an ARD Loan, scheduled to be outstanding on the Anticipated Repayment Date), assuming (among other things) no prepayments or defaults, to (b) the Appraised Value of the related Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties determined as described under “—Appraised Value”. Each Mortgage Loan requires that a

 

 169

 

 

regular monthly debt service payment be made on the stated maturity date or Anticipated Repayment Date, as applicable, and accordingly the principal balance referenced in clause (a) of the immediately preceding sentence will be net of the principal portion, if any, of the monthly debt service payment due on such date. Because the Appraised Values of the Mortgaged Properties were determined prior to origination, the information set forth in this prospectus, including the Annexes hereto, is not necessarily a reliable measure of the related borrower’s current equity in each Mortgaged Property. In a declining real estate market, the appraised value of a Mortgaged Property may have decreased from the appraised value determined at origination and the actual loan-to-value ratio at maturity of a Mortgage Loan may be higher than the LTV Ratio at Maturity that we present in this prospectus. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Appraisals May Not Reflect Current or Future Market Value of Each Property” in this prospectus. In the case of each Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, unless otherwise indicated, such loan-to-value ratio was calculated based on the aggregate principal balance that will be due at maturity (or, in the case of an ARD Loan, scheduled to be outstanding on the Anticipated Repayment Date) with respect to such Pari Passu Mortgage Loan and the related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s). In the case of a Mortgage Loan with one or more related Subordinate Companion Loans, Loan-to-Value Ratios at Maturity were calculated without regard to any related Subordinate Companion Loan.

 

Maturity Date Balloon or ARD Payment” or “Balloon or ARD Payment” means, for any balloon Mortgage Loan or ARD Loan, the payment of principal due upon its stated maturity date or, in the case of an ARD Loan, the principal balance scheduled to be outstanding at the related Anticipated Repayment Date. Each Mortgage Loan requires that a regular monthly debt service payment be made on the stated maturity date or Anticipated Repayment Date, as applicable, and accordingly the payment of principal or principal balance, as applicable, referenced in the immediately preceding sentence will be net of the principal portion, if any, of the monthly debt service payment due on such date.

 

Net Operating Income” generally means, for any given period (ending on the “NOI Date”), the total operating revenues derived from a Mortgaged Property during that period, minus the total operating expenses incurred in respect of that Mortgaged Property during that period other than:

 

non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization,

 

capital expenditures, and

 

debt service on the related Mortgage Loan or on any other loans that are secured by that Mortgaged Property;

 

NRA” means net rentable area.

 

Occupancy Rate” means (i) in the case of multifamily rental properties and manufactured housing community properties, the percentage of rental units or pads, as applicable, that are rented (generally without regard to the length of the lease or rental period) as of the date of determination; (ii) in the case of office, retail and industrial/warehouse properties, the percentage of the net rentable square footage rented as of the date of determination (subject to, in the case of certain Mortgage Loans, one or more of the additional lease-up assumptions); (iii) in the case of hospitality properties, the percentage of available rooms occupied for the trailing 12-month period ending on the date of determination; and (iv) in the case of self storage facilities, either the percentage of the net rentable square footage rented or the percentage of units rented as of the date of determination, depending on borrower reporting. In the case of some of the Mortgage

 

 170

 

 

Loans, the calculation of Occupancy Rate for one or more related properties was based on assumptions regarding occupancy, such as: the assumption that a particular tenant at the subject Mortgaged Property that has executed a lease (or, in some cases, a letter of intent to execute a lease), but has not yet taken occupancy and/or has not yet commenced paying rent, will take occupancy on a future date generally expected to occur within 12 months of the Cut-off Date; assumptions regarding the renewal of particular leases and/or the re-leasing of certain space at the subject Mortgaged Property; and certain additional lease-up assumptions as may be described in the footnotes to Annex A-1. For information regarding the determination of the occupancy rates with respect to the 15 largest Mortgage Loans and related Mortgaged Properties, see the individual Mortgage Loan and portfolio descriptions in Annex A-3.

 

Occupancy As Of Date” means the date of determination of the Occupancy Rate of a Mortgaged Property.

 

Prepayment Provisions” denotes a general summary of the provisions of a Mortgage Loan that restrict the ability of the related borrower to voluntarily prepay the Mortgage Loan. In each case, some exceptions may apply that are not described in the general summary, such as provisions that permit a voluntary partial prepayment in connection with the release of a portion of a Mortgaged Property, or require the application of tenant holdback reserves to a partial prepayment, in each case notwithstanding any lockout period or yield maintenance charge that may otherwise apply. In describing Prepayment Provisions, we use the following symbols with the indicated meanings:

 

DEF(#)” means, with respect to any Mortgage Loan, a specified number of monthly payment periods (which number is denoted by a numeric value #) during which voluntary prepayments of principal are prohibited, but the related borrower is permitted to defease that Mortgage Loan in order to obtain a release of the related Mortgaged Property.

 

LO(#)” means, with respect to any Mortgage Loan, a specified number of monthly payment periods (which number is denoted by a numeric value #) during which voluntary prepayments of principal are prohibited and defeasance is not permitted.

 

O(#)” means, with respect to any Mortgage Loan, a specified number of monthly payment periods (which number is denoted by a numeric value #) during which prepayments of principal are permitted without the payment of any Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge and the lender is not entitled to require a defeasance in lieu of prepayment.

 

YM(#)” means, with respect to any Mortgage Loan, a specified number of monthly payment periods (which number is denoted by a numeric value #) during which prepayments of principal are permitted with the payment of a Yield Maintenance Charge and the lender is not entitled to require a defeasance in lieu of prepayment.

 

DEF/@(#)” means, with respect to any Mortgage Loan, a specified number of monthly payment periods (which number is denoted by a numeric value #) during which the related borrower is permitted to defease that Mortgage Loan in order to obtain a release of the related Mortgaged Property and during which prepayments of principal are permitted with the payment of a Prepayment Premium (equal to @% of the prepaid amount).

 

DEF/YM(#)” means, with respect to any Mortgage Loan, a specified number of monthly payment periods (which number is denoted by a numeric value #) during

 

 171

 

 

 which the related borrower is permitted to defease that Mortgage Loan in order to obtain a release of the related Mortgaged Property and during which prepayments of principal are permitted with the payment of a Yield Maintenance Charge.

 

DEF/YM@(#)” means, with respect to any Mortgage Loan, a specified number of monthly payment periods (which number is denoted by a numeric value #) during which the related borrower is permitted to defease that Mortgage Loan in order to obtain a release of the related Mortgaged Property and during which prepayments of principal are permitted with the payment of the greater of a Yield Maintenance Charge and a Prepayment Premium (equal to @% of the prepaid amount).

 

YM@(#)” means, with respect to any Mortgage Loan, a specified number of monthly payment periods (which number is denoted by a numeric value #) during which prepayments of principal are permitted with the payment of the greater of a Yield Maintenance Charge and a Prepayment Premium (equal to @% of the prepaid amount) and the lender is not entitled to require a defeasance in lieu of prepayment.

 

Remaining Term to Maturity or ARD” means, with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the number of months from the Cut-off Date to the related stated maturity date or Anticipated Repayment Date.

 

RevPAR” means, with respect to any hotel property, revenue per available room.

 

Square Feet”, “SF” or “Sq. Ft.” means, in the case of a Mortgaged Property operated as a retail center, office, industrial/warehouse facility, any combination of the foregoing or other single purpose property, the square footage of the net rentable or leasable area.

 

T-12” and “TTM” each means trailing 12 months.

 

Term to Maturity” means, with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the remaining term, in months, from the Cut-off Date for such Mortgage Loan to the related maturity date or, in the case of an ARD Loan, the related Anticipated Repayment Date, as applicable. Annex A-1 indicates which Mortgage Loans are ARD Loans.

 

Underwritten Expenses” or “U/W Expenses” means, with respect to any Mortgage Loan or Mortgaged Property, an estimate of (a) operating expenses (such as utilities, administrative expenses, repairs and maintenance, management and franchise fees and advertising); and (b) estimated fixed expenses (such as insurance, real estate taxes and, if applicable, ground, space or air rights lease payments), as determined by the related Mortgage Loan seller and generally derived from historical expenses at the Mortgaged Property, the borrower’s budget or appraiser’s estimate, in some cases adjusted for significant occupancy increases and a market rate management fee and subject to certain assumptions and subjective judgments of each Mortgage Loan seller as described under the definition of “Underwritten Net Operating Income” in this prospectus.

 

Underwritten Net Cash Flow”, “Underwritten NCF” or “U/W NCF” means an amount based on assumptions relating to cash flow available for debt service. In general, it is the Underwritten Net Operating Income less all reserves for capital expenditures, including tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions. Underwritten Net Cash Flow generally does not reflect interest expenses, non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization and other non-reoccurring expenses.

 

In determining the “revenue” component of Underwritten Net Cash Flow for each Mortgaged Property, the related mortgage loan seller generally relied on a rent roll and/or

 

 172

 

 

other known, signed tenant leases, executed extension options, property financial statements, estimates in the related appraisal, or other indications of anticipated income (generally supported by market considerations, cash reserves or letters of credit) supplied by the related borrower and, where the actual vacancy shown thereon and, if available, the market vacancy was less than 5%, assumed a minimum 5% vacancy in determining revenue from rents (in certain cases, inclusive of rents under master leases with an affiliate of the borrower that relate to space not used or occupied by the master lease tenant, or, in the case of a hotel property, room rent, food and beverage revenues and other hotel property income), except that in the case of certain non-multifamily and non-manufactured housing community properties, space occupied by such anchor or single tenants or other large creditworthy tenants may have been disregarded (or a rate of less than 5% has been assumed) in performing the vacancy adjustment due to the length of the related leases or creditworthiness of such tenants. Furthermore, Ladder Capital Finance LLC may apply a minimum vacancy that is less than 5% if rents at the subject Mortgaged Property are below market or if it otherwise determines that circumstances so warrant. Where the actual or market vacancy was greater than 5%, the mortgage loan seller determined revenue from rents (in certain cases, inclusive of rents under master leases with an affiliate of the borrower that relate to space not used or occupied by the master lease tenant, or, in the case of a hotel property, room rent, food and beverage revenues and other hotel property income) by generally relying on a rent roll and/or other known, signed leases, executed lease extension options, property financial statements, estimates in the related appraisal, or other indications of anticipated income (generally supported by market considerations, cash reserves or letters of credit) supplied and generally (but not in all cases) the greatest of (a) actual current vacancy at the related Mortgaged Property or a vacancy otherwise based on performance of the related Mortgaged Property (e.g., an economic vacancy based on actual collections for a specified trailing period), (b) if available, current vacancy according to third-party-provided market information or at comparable properties in the same or similar market as the related Mortgaged Property, subject to adjustment to address special considerations (such as where market vacancy may have been ignored with respect to space covered by long-term leases or because it was deemed inapplicable by reason of, among other things, below market rents at or unique characteristics of the subject Mortgaged Property) and/or to reflect the appraiser’s conclusion of a supportable or stabilized occupancy rate, and (c) subject to the discussion above, 5%. In some cases involving a multi-property Mortgage Loan, the foregoing vacancy assumptions may be applied to the portfolio of the related Mortgaged Properties in the entirety, but may not apply to each related Mortgaged Property. In addition, for some Mortgaged Properties, the actual vacancy may reflect the average vacancy over the course of a year (or trailing 12-month period). In determining revenue for multifamily, manufactured housing community and self storage properties, the mortgage loan sellers generally reviewed rental revenue shown on the rolling one-to-twelve month (or some combination thereof) operating statements or annualized the rental revenue and reimbursement of expenses shown on rent rolls or operating statements with respect to the prior one-to-twelve-month periods. In the case of hospitality properties, gross receipts were generally determined based upon the average occupancy not to exceed 80% and daily rates based on third-party-provided market information or average daily rates achieved during the prior one-to-three year annual reporting period. However, Ladder Capital Finance LLC does not apply any such constraints on the underwritten average occupancy for a hospitality property but will take into account the unique circumstances of such property when determining the underwritten average occupancy.

 

In determining the “expense” component of Underwritten Net Cash Flow for each Mortgaged Property, the related mortgage loan seller generally relied on, to the extent available, historical operating statements, full-year or year-to-date financial statements,

 

 173

 

 

rolling 12-month operating statements, year-to-date financial statements and/or budgets supplied by the related borrower, as well as estimates in the related appraisal, except that: (i) if tax or insurance expense information more current than that reflected in the financial statements was available and verified, the newer information was generally used; (ii) property management fees were generally assumed to be 1% to 6% (depending on the property type) of effective gross revenue (or, in the case of a hospitality property, gross receipts); (iii) in general, depending on the property type, assumptions were made with respect to the average amount of reserves for leasing commissions, tenant improvement expenses and capital expenditures; (iv) expenses were assumed to include annual replacement reserves; and (v) recent changes in circumstances at the Mortgaged Properties were taken into account (for example, physical changes that would be expected to reduce utilities costs). Annual replacement reserves were generally underwritten to the suggested replacement reserve amount from an independent, third-party property condition or engineering report, or minimum requirements by property type designated by the mortgage loan seller, and are: (a) in the case of retail, office, self storage and industrial/warehouse properties, generally not more than $0.40 per square foot of net rentable commercial area (and may be zero); (b) in the case of multifamily rental apartments, generally not more than approximately $400 per residential unit per year, depending on the condition of the property (and may be zero); (c) in the case of manufactured housing community properties, generally not more than approximately $80 per pad per year, depending on the condition of the property (and may be zero); and (d) in the case of hospitality properties, generally 4% to 5%, inclusive, of gross revenues (and may be zero). In addition, in some cases, the mortgage loan seller recharacterized as capital expenditures items that are reported by borrowers as operating expenses (thus increasing the “net cash flow”).

 

Historical operating results may not be available for Mortgaged Properties with newly constructed improvements, Mortgaged Properties with triple-net leases, Mortgaged Properties that have recently undergone substantial renovations and newly acquired Mortgaged Properties. In such cases, items of revenue and expense used in calculating Underwritten Net Cash Flow were generally derived from rent rolls, estimates set forth in the related appraisal, leases with tenants, other third-party-provided market information or from other borrower-supplied information. We cannot assure you with respect to the accuracy of the information provided by any borrowers, or the adequacy of the procedures used by the related mortgage loan seller in determining the presented operating information.

 

For purposes of calculating Underwritten Net Cash Flow for Mortgage Loans where leases have been executed by one or more affiliates of the borrower, the rents under some of such leases, if applicable, have been adjusted downward to reflect market rents for similar properties if the rent actually paid under the lease was significantly higher than the market rent for similar properties.

 

The amounts described as revenue and expense above are often highly subjective values. In the case of some of the Mortgage Loans, the calculation of Underwritten Net Cash Flow for the related Mortgaged Properties was based on assumptions regarding projected rental income, expenses and/or occupancy, including, without limitation, one or more of the following: (i) the assumption that a particular tenant at a Mortgaged Property that has executed a lease or letter of intent, but has not yet taken occupancy and/or has not yet commenced paying rent, will take occupancy and commence paying rent on a future date generally expected to occur within 12 months of the cut-off date; (ii) the assumption that certain rental income that is to be payable commencing on a future date under a signed lease, but where the subject tenant is in an initial rent abatement or free rent period, will be paid commencing on such future date; (iii) assumptions regarding the probability of renewal

 

 174

 

 

or extension of particular leases and/or the re-leasing of certain space at a Mortgaged Property and the anticipated effect on capital and re-leasing expenditures; (iv) assumptions regarding the costs and expenses, including leasing commissions and tenant improvements, associated with leasing vacant space or releasing occupied space at a future date; and (v) assumptions regarding future increases or decreases in expenses, or whether certain expenses are capital expenses or should be treated as expenses which are not recurring. In addition, in the case of some commercial properties, the underwritten revenues were adjusted upward to account for a portion or average of the additional rents provided for under any rent step-ups scheduled to occur over the terms of the executed leases. We cannot assure you that the assumptions made with respect to any Mortgage Loan will, in fact, be consistent with actual property performance. Actual annual net cash flow for a Mortgaged Property may be less than the Underwritten Net Cash Flow presented with respect to that property in this prospectus. In addition, the underwriting analysis of any particular Mortgage Loan as described herein by a particular Mortgage Loan seller may not conform to an analysis of the same property by other persons or entities.

 

See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Underwritten Net Cash Flow Could Be Based On Incorrect or Flawed Assumptions” in this prospectus. See also Annex A-1 and the footnotes thereto for disclosure regarding any variances in the calculation of Underwritten Net Cash Flow.

 

The “Underwritten Net Cash Flow Debt Service Coverage Ratio” or “U/W NCF DSCR” for any Mortgage Loan for any period, as presented in this prospectus, including the tables presented on Annex A-1 and Annex A-2, is the ratio of Underwritten Net Cash Flow calculated for the related Mortgaged Property to the amount of total Annual Debt Service on such Mortgage Loan except that the Underwritten Net Cash Flow Debt Service Coverage Ratios for all partial interest-only loans, if any, was calculated based on the first principal and interest payment required to be made to the issuing entity during the term of the Mortgage Loan. However, in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, unless otherwise indicated, such debt service coverage ratio was calculated based on the aggregate Annual Debt Service of the Pari Passu Mortgage Loan and the related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s) as of the Cut-off Date (and, for the avoidance of doubt, without regard to any related Subordinate Companion Loan). The Underwritten Net Cash Flow Debt Service Coverage Ratio for all interest-only loans were calculated based on the sum of the first 12 interest payments following the Cut-off Date.

 

Underwritten NCF Debt Yield” or “U/W NCF Debt Yield” generally means, with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the related Underwritten NCF divided by the Cut-off Date Balance of that Mortgage Loan. However, in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, unless otherwise indicated, such debt yield was calculated based on the aggregate principal balance of the Pari Passu Mortgage Loan and the related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s) (and, for the avoidance of doubt, without regard to any related Subordinate Companion Loan) as of the Cut-off Date.

 

No Mortgage Loan included in the Trust has an Underwritten NCF Debt Yield calculated based on the related Cut-off Date Balance less a related earnout or holdback reserve.

 

Underwritten Net Operating Income”, “Underwritten NOI” or “U/W NOI” means an amount based on assumptions of the cash flow available for debt service before deductions for capital expenditures, including replacement reserves, tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions. In general, Underwritten Net Operating Income is the assumed revenue derived from the use and operation of a Mortgaged Property, consisting primarily of rental income, less the sum of (a) assumed operating expenses (such as utilities, administrative expenses, repairs and maintenance, management fees and advertising) and

 

 175

 

 

(b) fixed expenses, such as insurance, real estate taxes and, if applicable, ground lease payments. Underwritten Net Operating Income is generally estimated in the same manner as Underwritten Net Cash Flow, except that no deduction is made for capital expenditures, including replacement reserves, tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Underwritten Net Cash Flow Could Be Based On Incorrect or Flawed Assumptions” in this prospectus.

 

Underwritten Net Operating Income Debt Service Coverage Ratio” or “U/W NOI DSCR” for any Mortgage Loan for any period, as presented in this prospectus, including the tables presented on Annex A-1 and Annex A-2, is the ratio of Underwritten NOI calculated for the related Mortgaged Property to the amount of total Annual Debt Service on such Mortgage Loan except that the Underwritten Net Operating Income Debt Service Coverage Ratio for all partial interest-only loans, if any, was calculated based on the first principal and interest payment required to be made to the issuing entity during the term of the Mortgage Loan. However, in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, unless otherwise indicated, such debt service coverage ratio was calculated based on the aggregate Annual Debt Service of the Pari Passu Mortgage Loan and the related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s) (and, for the avoidance of doubt, without regard to any related Subordinate Companion Loan) as of the Cut-off Date. The Underwritten Net Operating Income Debt Service Coverage Ratios for all interest-only Mortgage Loans were calculated based on the sum of the first 12 interest payments following the Cut-off Date.

 

Underwritten NOI Debt Yield” or “U/W NOI Debt Yield” means, with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the related Underwritten NOI divided by the Cut-off Date Balance of that Mortgage Loan. In the case of a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, unless otherwise indicated, such debt yield was calculated based on the aggregate principal balance of the Pari Passu Mortgage Loan and the related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s) (and, for the avoidance of doubt, without regard to any related Subordinate Companion Loan) as of the Cut-off Date.

 

Underwritten Revenues” or “U/W Revenues” with respect to any Mortgage Loan means the gross potential rent (in certain cases, inclusive of rents under master leases with an affiliate of the borrower that relate to space not used or occupied by the master lease tenant, or, in the case of a hotel property, room rent, food and beverage revenues and other hotel property income), subject to the assumptions and subjective judgments of each mortgage loan seller as described under the definition of “Underwritten Net Operating Income” above.

 

Units”, “Rooms”, “Beds” or “Pads” means (a) in the case of a Mortgaged Property operated as multifamily housing, the number of apartments, regardless of the size of or number of rooms in such apartment, (b) in the case of a Mortgaged Property operated as a hotel property, the number of guest rooms, (c) in the case of a Mortgaged Property operated as a manufactured housing community property, the number of pads for manufactured homes, (d) in the case of a Mortgaged Property operating as student housing, the number of beds, or (e) in the case of a Mortgaged Property operated as a self storage property, the number of individual storage units.

 

Weighted Average Mortgage Rate” means the weighted average of the Mortgage Rates as of the Cut-off Date.

 

You should review the footnotes to Annex A-1 in this prospectus for information regarding certain other loan-specific adjustments regarding the calculation of debt service coverage ratio information, loan-to-value ratio information, debt yield information and/or loan per net rentable square foot or unit with respect to certain of the Mortgage Loans.

 

 176

 

 

Except as otherwise specifically stated, the Cut-off Date LTV Ratio, Underwritten Debt Service Coverage Ratio, LTV Ratio at Maturity or ARD, Underwritten NCF Debt Yield, Underwritten NOI Debt Yield and loan per net rentable square foot or unit statistics with respect to each Mortgage Loan are calculated and presented without regard to any indebtedness other than the Mortgage Loan, whether or not secured by the related Mortgaged Property, ownership interests in the related borrower or otherwise, that currently exists or that may be incurred by the related borrower or its owners in the future.

 

References to “Weighted Averages” of the Mortgage Loans in the Mortgage Pool or any particular sub-group of the mortgage loans are references to averages weighted on the basis of the Cut-off Date Balances of the subject Mortgage Loans.

 

If we present a debt rating for some tenants and not others in the tables, you should assume that the other tenants are not rated and/or have below-investment grade ratings. If a tenant has a rated parent or affiliate, we present the rating of that parent or affiliate, notwithstanding that the parent or affiliate may itself have no obligations under the lease. Presentation of a rating opposite a tenant should not be construed as a statement that the relevant tenant will perform or be able to perform its obligations.

 

The sum in any column of any of the tables in Annex A-2 may not equal the indicated total due to rounding.

 

Historical information presented in this prospectus, including information in Annex A-1 and Annex A-3, is derived from audited and/or unaudited financial statements provided by the borrowers. In each case, the historical information is taken from the same source with respect to a Mortgage Loan and subject to the same adjustments and considerations as described above with respect to the 15 largest Mortgage Loans under the definition of “Cash Flow Analysis”.

(1)Because this table presents information relating to Mortgaged Properties and not Mortgage Loans, the information for Mortgage Loans secured by more than one Mortgaged Property is based on allocated loan amounts as set forth in Annex A-1.

 

Office Properties

 

In the case of the office properties and mixed use properties with office components set forth in the above chart, we note the following:

 

With respect to Mortgaged Property identified on Annex A-1 as 237 Park Avenue, representing approximately 3.4% of the Initial Pool Balance, the Mortgage Loan is

 

 180

 

 

 subject to certain specific risks relating to the fact that the related Whole Loan is bifurcated into a senior loan and building loan, and related to the fact that NYPH, which has the right to occupy approximately 38.3% of the net rentable square footage of the Mortgaged Property, does not lease such space but instead has the right to occupy such space pursuant to a structure where it has purchased eight leasehold condominium units at the Mortgaged Property (which condominium units will be reconveyed to 237 Park Avenue Declarant Borrower no later than December 29, 2048), and is required to pay for such units pursuant to a purchase money note and mortgage with installment payments similar to lease payments. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Risks Associated with the 237 Park Avenue Mortgage Loan.” NYPH is a non-profit organization. The closure of hospitals within the NYPH system, and/or the failure of NYPH to maintain its funding, could have a material adverse effect on NYPH, and accordingly, on the 237 Park Avenue Mortgage Loan.

 

With respect to Mortgaged Property identified on Annex A-1 as Manchester Financial Building, representing approximately 2.0% of the Initial Pool Balance, portions of the Mortgaged Property encroach into adjoining property owned by the City of San Diego (the “City”) and such encroachments are subject to agreements with the City that generally provide that the City may require removal of the encroachments upon notice to the property owner and, if the property owner does not comply, the City can remove the encroachments and record a lien against the Mortgaged Property for the City’s costs. The title company issued an endorsement related to such encroachments.

 

See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Office Properties Have Special Risks”.

 

Retail Properties

 

In the case of the retail properties and mixed use properties with retail components set forth in the above chart, we note the following:

 

With respect to the Mortgage Loan secured by the Mortgaged Property identified on Annex A-1 as Plaza at Gardendale II, representing 0.3% of the Initial Pool Balance, the borrower sponsor owns a vacant parcel zoned for retail adjacent to the Mortgaged Property. According to the borrower sponsor, no plans have been submitted for the parcel, however, the related Mortgage Loan documents prohibit the borrower sponsor from poaching tenants of the Mortgaged Property to the adjacent site.

 

With respect to certain retail properties, some or all of the related tenants may not be required to continue to operate (i.e., such tenants may “go dark”) at such properties. With respect to any such tenant that has a right to go dark, if such tenant elects to go dark, such election may trigger co-tenancy clauses in other tenants’ leases.

 

See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Retail Properties Have Special Risks”, and “—Some Mortgaged Properties May Not Be Readily Convertible to Alternative Uses”, and “—Specialty Use Concentrations” below.

Hotel Properties

 

In the case of the hotel properties set forth in the above chart, we note the following:

 

Hospitality properties may be particularly affected by seasonality. The Mortgage Loans secured by the Mortgaged Properties or portfolio of Mortgaged Properties identified on Annex A-1 as DoubleTree Wilmington, Marriott Grand Cayman, DoubleTree Berkeley Marina, Hyatt Regency Princeton, Holiday Inn Express Tallahassee, Candlewood Suites Nashville and Ramada Portland East, representing approximately 13.5% of the Initial Pool Balance, require seasonality reserves to be funded at origination and/or on an ongoing basis to the extent of available excess cash flow (and/or from a monthly deposit by the borrower during specified months) in an amount specified in the related loan documents.

 

With respect to the Mortgage Loan secured by the Mortgaged Property identified on Annex A-1 as Residence Inn Los Angeles Westlake Village, representing approximately 3.3% of the Initial Pool Balance, the borrower sponsor is in the process of obtaining permits to develop two competing hotels, both of which will be located approximately three miles from the Mortgaged Property: a 110-room TownePlace Suites hotel and a 140-room Courtyard hotel. If built, such hotels, both under the Marriott brand affiliation, will be directly competitive with such Mortgaged Property. According to the borrower sponsor, the new hotels are scheduled to open by 2020.

 

With respect to the Mortgage Loan secured by the Mortgaged Property identified on Annex A-1 as Marriott Grand Cayman, representing approximately 2.8% of the Initial Pool Balance, approximately 33.8% of the underwritten revenues with respect to the Mortgaged Property are food and beverage revenues.

 

With respect to the Mortgage Loan secured by the Mortgaged Property identified on Annex A-1 as DoubleTree Berkeley Marina, representing approximately 2.5% of the Initial Pool Balance, approximately 20.9% of the underwritten revenues with respect to the Mortgaged Property are food and beverage revenues.

 

With respect to the Mortgage Loan secured in part by the Mortgaged Properties identified on Annex A-1 as AHIP Northeast Portfolio III - Hampton Inn Baltimore – White Marsh and AHIP Northeast Portfolio III - Fairfield Inn & Suites Baltimore - White Marsh, representing in the aggregate approximately 1.2% of the Initial Pool Balance, the appraisal identified a 120-room SpringHill Suites hotel currently under construction, which is expected to open in February 2018. The SpringHill Suites hotel is expected to be directly competitive with each such Mortgaged Property.

 

With respect to the Mortgage Loan secured by the Mortgaged Property identified on Annex A-1 as Candlewood Suites Nashville, representing approximately 1.1% of the Initial Pool Balance, the appraisal identified (i) a 127-room Uptown Suites that opened in May 2017, (ii) a 91-room Home2Suites by Hilton currently under construction that is expected to open in May 2018 and (iii) a 76-room Tru by Hilton hotel currently under construction that is expected to open in May 2018, each of which is expected to be directly competitive with the Mortgaged Property.

See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Concentrations Based on Property Type, Geography, Related Borrowers and Other Factors May Disproportionately Increase Losses”.

 

Multi-Property Mortgage Loans and Related Borrower Mortgage Loans

 

Certain Mortgage Loans set forth in the table below, collectively representing approximately 41.0% of the Initial Pool Balance, are each secured by two or more properties. In some cases, however, the amount of the mortgage lien encumbering a particular property or portfolio of properties may be less than the full amount of indebtedness under the Mortgage Loan, generally to minimize recording tax. In such instances, the mortgage amount may equal a specified percentage (generally ranging from 100% to 150%, inclusive) of the appraised value or allocated loan amount for the particular Mortgaged Property. This would limit the extent to which proceeds from that property would be available to offset declines in value of the other Mortgaged Properties securing the same Mortgage Loan Mortgage Loans.

(1)Because this table presents information relating to Mortgaged Properties and not the Mortgage Loans, the information for any Mortgaged Property that is one of multiple Mortgaged Properties securing a particular Mortgage Loan is based on an allocated loan amount as stated in Annex A-2.

 

The remaining Mortgaged Properties are located throughout twenty-six (26) other states and the Cayman Islands, with no more than 3.7% of the Initial Pool Balance by allocated loan amount secured by Mortgaged Properties located in any such jurisdiction.

 

In addition, with respect to the Mortgaged Properties in the Mortgage Pool, we note the following in respect of their geographic concentration:

 

Eighteen (18) Mortgaged Properties, collectively representing approximately 29.1% of the Initial Pool Balance, are located in areas that are considered a high earthquake risk (seismic zones 3 or 4), and seismic reports were prepared with

respect to these Mortgaged Properties, and based on those reports, no Mortgaged Property has a seismic expected loss greater than 33%.

 

Certain of the Mortgaged Properties are located within 25 miles of the coast of the Gulf of Mexico or the Atlantic coast of Florida, Georgia, South Carolina or North Carolina or in the Cayman Islands, which areas are more susceptible to hurricanes. See representation and warranty no. 16 in Annex D-1 and the exceptions thereto on Annex D-2 (subject to the limitations and qualifications set forth in the preamble in Annex D-1).

 

Mortgaged Properties With Limited Prior Operating History

 

With respect to fifty-one (51) of the Mortgaged Properties or the portfolio of Mortgaged Properties securing fourteen (14) Mortgage Loans collectively representing approximately 26.5% of the Initial Pool Balance, are secured by Mortgaged Properties that (i) were constructed or the subject of a major renovation that was completed within 12 calendar months prior to the Cut-off Date and, therefore, the related Mortgaged Property has no or limited prior operating history, (ii) have a borrower or an affiliate under the related Mortgage Loan that acquired the related Mortgaged Property within 12 calendar months prior to the Cut-off Date and such borrower or affiliate was unable to provide the related mortgage loan seller with historical financial information for such acquired Mortgaged Property or (iii) are single tenant properties subject to triple net leases with the related tenant where the related borrower did not provide the related mortgage loan seller with historical financial information for the related Mortgaged Property.

 

See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Limited Information Causes Uncertainty”.

 

Tenancies-in-Common or Diversified Ownership

 

With respect to the Mortgage Loans secured by the Mortgaged Properties identified on Annex A-1 as Yorkshire & Lexington Towers, Totowa Commerce Center, 50 Varick Street, Hyatt Regency Princeton, Franklin Village and Elmhurst Shopping Center, representing in the aggregate 14.1% of the Initial Pool Balance, the related Mortgage Loans have one or more borrowers that own all or a portion of the related Mortgaged Property as tenants-in-common, and the respective tenants-in-common have agreed to a waiver of their rights of partition. “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—The Borrower’s Form of Entity May Cause Special Risks” and “— Tenancies-in-Common May Hinder Recovery”.

 

With respect to one (1) Mortgage Loan secured by the Mortgaged Property identified on Annex A-1 as DoubleTree Wilmington, representing approximately 3.2% of the Initial Pool Balance, up to 20% of the equity in the related borrower will be funded through an online platform. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—The Borrower’s Form of Entity May Cause Special Risks”.

 

Delaware Statutory Trusts

 

With respect to the Mortgage Loans secured by the Mortgaged Property or portfolio of Mortgaged Properties, as applicable, identified on Annex A-1 as ExchangeRight Net Leased Portfolio 17 and Biolife - Riverton, collectively representing approximately 5.5% of the Initial Pool Balance, each related borrower is a Delaware statutory trust.

 

See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage LoansDelaware Statutory Trusts”.

Condominium Interests

 

Five (5) of the Mortgaged Properties, identified on Annex A-1 as Centre 425 Bellevue, 237 Park Avenue, 50 Varick Street, GlobalFoundries Industrial Portfolio and Bass Pro Port St. Lucie, collectively representing approximately 12.9% of the Initial Pool Balance, are secured, in whole or in part, by the related borrower’s interest in one or more units in a condominium. With respect to all such Mortgaged Properties, the borrower generally controls the appointment and voting of the condominium board or the condominium owners cannot take actions or cause the condominium association to take actions that would affect the borrower’s unit without the borrower’s consent.

 

With respect to the Mortgage Loan secured by the Mortgaged Property identified on Annex A-1 as 237 Park Avenue, representing approximately 3.4% of the Initial Pool Balance, the Mortgaged Property consists, among other things, of (i) the fee interest in the related real property and (ii) 17 of 25 leasehold condominium units. The remaining 8 leasehold condominium units are owned by NYPH. In order to create the leasehold condominium units, the 237 Park Avenue Fee Borrower entered into a ground lease with 237 Park Avenue Declarant Borrower and 237 Park Avenue Declarant Borrower assigned its ground leasehold interest to the related condominium board. The ground leasehold interest does not constitute collateral for the related Whole Loan.

 

With respect to Mortgage Loan secured by the Mortgaged Property identified on Annex A-1 as GlobalFoundries Industrial Portfolio, representing approximately 1.6% of the Initial Pool Balance, the Mortgaged Properties consist of three condominium units in an eight unit land condominium. Pursuant to the condominium documents, for so long as the Mortgage Loan is outstanding or its designee obtains title to the Mortgaged Property by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, the borrowers will control the board of managers and be entitled to elect a majority of the board of managers.

(1)Because this table presents information relating to Mortgaged Properties and not Mortgage Loans, the information for Mortgage Loans secured by more than one Mortgaged Property is based on allocated loan amounts as set forth in Annex A-1.

 

(2)An encumbered interest will be characterized as a “fee interest” and not a leasehold interest if (i) the borrower has a fee interest in all or substantially all of the Mortgaged Property (provided that if the borrower has a leasehold interest in any portion of the Mortgaged Property, such portion is not, individually or in the aggregate, material to the use or operation of the Mortgaged Property), or (ii) the Mortgage Loan is secured by the borrower’s leasehold interest in the Mortgaged Property as well as the borrower’s (or other fee owner’s) overlapping fee interest in the related Mortgaged Property.

In general except as noted in the exceptions to representation and warranty no. 34 in Annex D-1 indicated on Annex D-2 or otherwise discussed below, and unless the related fee interest is also encumbered by the related Mortgage, each of the ground leases: (i) has a term that extends at least 20 years beyond the maturity date of the Mortgage Loan (taking into account all freely exercisable extension options); and (ii) contains customary mortgagee protection provisions, including notice and cure rights and the right to enter into a new lease with the applicable ground lessor in the event a ground lease is rejected or terminated.

 

With respect to the Mortgage Loan secured in part by the Mortgaged Property identified on Annex A-1 as AHIP Northeast Portfolio III - Fairfield Inn & Suites Baltimore – White Marsh, representing approximately 0.5% of the Initial Pool Balance by allocated loan amount, the Mortgage Loan is secured in part by the related borrower’s leasehold interest in the Mortgaged Property under a ground lease, dated as of October 16, 2006 and having a commencement date of April 1, 2007, between Cordon Fairfield Business Trust (an affiliate of Federal Realty Investment Trust), as ground lessor, and the related borrower, as ground lessee. The ground lease has a current expiration date of March 31, 2037, with four remaining options to extend the term in increments of five (5) years (which options are freely exercisable by the borrower). Annual ground rent is currently $165,312.50 per annum through March 2022, and is subject to periodic adjustments every five years thereafter equal to 115% of the ground rent payable during the immediately preceding lease year. The related borrower has a one-time option under the ground lease to purchase the ground lessor’s fee interest for $1,857,310, which may be exercised by notice given to the ground lessor not later than October 3, 2018, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions, including updated recordable and title documents reflecting a first priority lien upon the fee interest, set forth in the Mortgage Loan documents.

 

Mortgage loans secured by ground leases present certain bankruptcy and foreclosure risks not present with Mortgage Loans secured by fee simple estates. See “Risk FactorsRisks Relating to the Mortgage LoansRisks Related to Ground Leases and Other Leasehold Interests” and “—Leased Fee Properties Have Special Risks”, “Certain Legal Aspects of Mortgage LoansForeclosure” and “Certain Legal Aspects of Mortgage LoansForeclosureBankruptcy Laws”.

 

Environmental Considerations

 

An environmental report was prepared for each Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan no more than twelve months prior to the Cut-off Date. See Annex A-1 for the date of the environmental report for each Mortgaged Property. The environmental reports were generally prepared pursuant to the ASTM International (“ASTM”) standard for a Phase I environmental site assessment (the “ESA”). In addition to the Phase I standards, some of the environmental reports will include additional research, such as limited sampling for asbestos-containing material, lead-based paint, radon or water damage with limited areas of potential or identified mold, depending on the property use and/or age. Additionally, as warranted pursuant to ASTM standards, supplemental Phase II site investigations have been completed for some Mortgaged Properties to further evaluate certain environmental issues, including certain recognized environmental conditions (each, a “REC”). A Phase II investigation generally consists of sampling and laboratory analysis.

 

With respect to the Mortgage Loan secured by the portfolio of Mortgaged Properties identified on Annex A-1 as Burbank Office Portfolio, representing approximately 5.4% of the Initial Pool Balance, various underground storage tanks (“USTs”) previously located on the Mortgaged Properties have been removed, replaced or closed in place with no recommendation for further investigation. In addition, the Mortgaged Property identified on

 

 191

 

 

Annex A-1 as 3800 Alameda is currently subject to groundwater monitoring due to potential contamination from the San Fernando Valley NPL or superfund site. The borrowers obtained an environmental impairment liability (“EIL”) insurance policy from Great American Insurance Group (rated “A+” by A.M. Best), which lists the borrower as the first named insured and the lender, with its successors, assigns, and/or affiliates named as additional named insured. The EIL policy has a term of 9 years with an optional extended reporting period of six months. Under the policy, the minimum per incident and aggregate limits will be $5,000,000 with a $50,000 deductible per incident. The premium for the policy was paid at origination.

 

With respect to the Mortgage Loan secured by the Mortgaged Property identified on Annex A-1 as 237 Park Avenue, representing approximately 3.4% of the Initial Pool Balance, the borrower obtained an environmental legal liability coverage insurance policy in lieu of providing an environmental indemnitor. The policy was issued by Zurich American Insurance Company and provides $5,000,000 of coverage per incident and in aggregate with a $50,000 deductible per incident. The premium was paid in full at origination.

 

With respect to the Mortgage Loan secured by the Mortgaged Property identified on Annex A-1 as GlobalFoundries Industrial Portfolio, representing approximately 1.6% of the Initial Pool Balance, the related Phase I ESA identified a recognized environmental condition at the Mortgaged Property related to the historic use of the Hudson Valley Research Park, in which the Mortgaged Property is located, for the manufacturing of semi-conductors by IBM. According to the Phase I ESA, such historic use resulted in releases of chlorinated solvents including, among other things, perchlororoethylene (“PCE”) and metals. Ongoing monitoring has identified continued soil and groundwater impacts, including a PCE groundwater plume located beneath certain of the improvements at the Mortgaged Property. Remedial efforts at the Mortgaged Property have been ongoing since 1981 and the Mortgaged Property is listed on multiple regulatory databases, including, among other things, as a Leaking Underground Storage Tank site. According to the Phase I ESA, IBM has retained responsibility for groundwater corrective action under a hazardous waste permit. In addition, the Mortgaged Property is subject to certain land use restrictions prohibiting, among other things (i) the use of groundwater at the Mortgaged Property or (ii) the use of the Mortgaged Property for residential purposes. At origination, the Borrower obtained an environmental insurance policy from Steadfast Insurance Company, with a policy limit of $5,000,000 per incident and in the aggregate, a $50,000 deductible and a term expiring on September 14, 2022.

 

See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Adverse Environmental Conditions at or Near Mortgaged Properties May Result In Losses”. See also “—Non-Recourse Carveout Limitations” for disclosure regarding Mortgage Loans as to which there is no third-party environmental indemnitor. See also representation and warranty no. 40 in Annex D-1.

 

Described below is certain additional information regarding environmental issues at the Mortgaged Properties securing the Mortgage Loans:

 

With respect to the Mortgage Loan secured by the Mortgaged Property identified on Annex A-1 as Triangle Square Shopping Center, representing approximately 0.8% of the Initial Pool Balance, one of the tenants currently operates as a dry cleaning facility that utilizes tetrachloroethene.

Pursuant to the Mortgage Loan documents, the borrower has covenanted to comply with all

 

 192

 

 

requirements of the DSCA Program with respect to all investigations and cleanup of the Mortgaged Property.

 

Redevelopment, Renovation and Expansion

 

Certain of the Mortgaged Properties are properties which are currently undergoing or are expected to undergo redevelopment, renovation or expansion, including with respect to hotel properties, pursuant to property improvement plans (“PIPs”) required by the franchisors. For example:

 

With respect to the Mortgage Loan secured by the Mortgaged Property identified on Annex A-1 as 237 Park Avenue, representing approximately 3.4% of the Initial Pool Balance, NYPH, which owns condominium units representing approximately 38.3% of the net rentable area and pays installment payments to the borrower pursuant to a purchase money note relating to such condominium units, and Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Canada, representing approximately 5.8% of the net rentable area, are both currently being renovated. At origination, the lender reserved approximately $81,365,605 to cover the expenses of such renovations.

 

With respect to the Mortgage Loan secured by the Mortgaged Property identified on Annex A-1 as DoubleTree Wilmington, representing approximately 3.2% of the Initial Pool Balance, the related borrower deposited $2,684,000 into an upfront PIP reserve at origination of the Mortgage Loan. A PIP is currently being required by the related franchisor at the Mortgaged Property. The related borrower is required to complete the PIP work within 18 months of origination, with the exception of guestroom and bathroom work, which is required to be completed within 36 months of origination. If any additional PIP is required during the term of the Mortgage Loan, then the related borrower is required to reserve 110% of the estimated costs for such PIP.

 

With respect to the Mortgage Loan secured by the Mortgaged Property identified on Annex A-1 as Marriott Grand Cayman, representing approximately 2.8% of the Initial Pool Balance, the borrower sponsor intends to spend approximately $800,000 on capital expenditures in 2017.

With respect to the portfolio of Mortgaged Properties identified on Annex A-1 as AHIP Northeast Portfolio III, representing approximately 2.7% of the Initial Pool Balance, the borrowers are required under the related franchise agreements to complete PIPs at the individual Mortgaged Properties generally within 12 to 24 months after June 22, 2017, the effective date of each of the franchise agreements, At origination, the borrowers deposited approximately $2,055.697 with the lender, representing the aggregate amount of PIP renovations required at the individual Mortgaged Properties. The PIPs generally include renovations to the lobby and breakfast room, public restrooms, guest rooms and the business center, the exercise room and updates to the guest room amenities. Any borrower’s failure to complete the related PIP work by the deadlines specified under the related franchise agreement constitutes a breach of such franchise agreement and may result in termination of such franchise agreement if such borrower fails to cure such default within 10 or 30 days’ notice of default, as applicable.

 

With respect to the Mortgage Loan secured by the Mortgaged Property identified on Annex A-1 as DoubleTree Berkeley Marina, representing approximately 2.5% of the

 

 193

 

 

Initial Pool Balance, the Mortgaged Property is subject to an elective guestroom upgrade and renovation program. The renovations are scheduled to be completed by August 9, 2018.

Assessment of Property Value and Condition

 

In connection with the origination or acquisition of each Mortgage Loan or otherwise in connection with this offering, an appraisal was conducted in respect of the related Mortgaged Property by an independent appraiser that was state certified and/or a member of the Appraisal Institute or an update of an existing appraisal was obtained. In each case, the appraisal complied, or the appraiser certified that it complied, with the real estate appraisal regulations issued jointly by the federal bank regulatory agencies under the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989, as amended (“FIRREA”). In general, those appraisals represent the analysis and opinion of the person performing the appraisal and are not guarantees of, and may not be indicative of, present or future value. We cannot assure you that another person would not have arrived at a different valuation, even if such person used the same general approach to and same method of valuing the property or that different valuations would not have been reached separately by the mortgage loan sellers based on their internal review of such appraisals. The appraisals obtained as described above sought to establish the amount a typically motivated buyer would pay a typically motivated seller. Such amount could be significantly higher than the amount obtained from the sale of a Mortgaged Property under a distress or liquidation sale.

 

In addition, in general, a licensed engineer, architect or consultant inspected the related Mortgaged Property, in connection with the origination or acquisition of each of the Mortgage Loans or otherwise in connection with this offering, to assess the condition of the structure, exterior walls, roofing, interior structure and mechanical and electrical systems. Engineering reports by licensed engineers, architects or consultants generally were prepared, except for newly constructed properties, certain manufactured housing community properties and properties for which the borrower’s interest consists of a fee interest solely on the land and not any improvements, for the Mortgaged Properties in connection with the origination of the related Mortgage Loan or in connection with this offering. None of these engineering reports are more than 10 months old as of the Cut-off Date. In certain cases where material deficiencies were noted in such reports, the related borrower was required to establish reserves for replacement or repair or remediate the deficiency.

 

See Annex A-1 and the footnotes related thereto and the definition of “LTV Ratio” for additional information.

 

Litigation and Other Considerations

 

There may be material pending or threatened legal proceedings against, or other past or present material criminal or material adverse regulatory circumstances experienced by, the borrowers, their sponsors and managers of the Mortgaged Properties and their respective affiliates. In addition, the Mortgaged Properties may be subject to ongoing litigation. For example:

 

With respect to the Mortgage Loan secured by the portfolio of Mortgaged Properties identified on Annex A-1 as Yorkshire & Lexington Towers, representing approximately 5.4% of the Initial Pool Balance, the related borrower is subject to two pending litigations related to prior tenants seeking judicial declaration of apartment units as subject to rent stabilization law and monetary damages (each of a maximum of $79,000) for rent overcharges at the Mortgaged Property. We cannot assure you as to the manner in which these or other similar proceedings will impact the number of rent stabilized units the borrower can convert to market rate units in the future. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—

 

 195

 

 

Multifamily Properties Have Special Risks”. In addition, the borrower sponsor is subject to two pending suits filed against him by a former business partner for breach of contractual duties under a LLC agreement unrelated to the Mortgaged Property. The suits seek a minimum of $5 million on behalf of the former business partner and $5 million derivatively on behalf of the allegedly damaged entities. The second suit filed by the same plaintiff alleged that the borrower sponsor abused control relating to unrelated properties in which the former business partner has a minority ownership interest. The suit seeks a minimum of $15 million. Both matters are still pending.

 

With respect to the Mortgaged Properties identified on Annex A-1 as Delshah NYC Portfolio, the borrower was sued by the largest tenant at the 58-60 9th Avenue property, Free People, with respect to a disagreement over the amount of rent credits due to the tenant as result of the late delivery of the leased premises by the borrower. Pursuant to the lease, the rent commencement date was required to be 120 days after delivery of the leased premises to the tenant. The lease also provides that if the leased premises were not delivered to the tenant by August 1, 2015 (subject to delays attributable to the tenant or certain “force majeure” events), the tenant had the right to abate rent for each day the premises are not delivered as follows: abate one day of rent for each day until October 1, 2015, two days of rent for each day until January 1, 2016, and, if the premises were not delivered by January 1, 2016, abate three days of rent for each day until the premises were delivered. The borrower delivered the leased premises to the tenant on July 12, 2016 and the rent commencement date was November 9, 2016. The tenant failed to pay rent on the rent commencement date. On February 6th, 2017, the tenant sued the borrower and the borrower sponsor in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County seeking injunctive relief and damages, contending that the tenant is owed approximately $3.0 million in rent credits and lost sales (which amount is equal to approximately 2 years’ rent payments).

 

Notwithstanding the litigation, the tenant indicated its desire to continue to remain in this space and has made each monthly rent payment to the borrower since Dec. 2016 (the rent commencement date). The borrower contends that the delays were not within its control and caused by (i) the discovery of concrete “overpour” from the adjacent property (not collateral for the mortgage loan) which caused the borrower to have to break-up and remove the concrete and shore up the foundation of the leased premises (and the borrower has sued the adjacent property owner in this litigation for indemnification), (ii) delays caused by tenant’s request for a physical delivery (causing the borrower sponsor to focus its construction on the “white box” and delay construction of the elevator structure and elevator), (iii) a specious “stop work order” issued by the New York City Dept. of Buildings, and (iii) another stop work order by the New York City Dept. of Transportation unrelated to construction.

 

At origination, the borrower reserved $1,364,750 in the Free People Rent Reserve (which amount will be returned to the borrower upon delivery of, among other things, an estoppel from the tenant or a judicial determination that provides that the tenant has no termination option under the lease, there are no offsets or credits due to the tenant (other than the rent abatement claimed in the litigation) and there are no defaults under the lease). In addition, the borrower reserved $692,625 in the Free People Rent Credit Reserve (which amount is available for payment to the tenant (as described below). An additional $669,125 (six (6)

 

 196

 

 

months of base rent under the Free People lease) from loan proceeds was deposited with tenant Free People’s attorney (the “FP Attorney”).

 

According to the loan documents, in the event the borrower has failed to deliver to lender a final order (or stipulation of discontinuance) in the litigation prior to February 1, 2018 (i.e., the date that is five days prior to the date that is six (6) months following the date of the stipulation, which is dated July 27, 2017 and filed and approved by the court on August 1, 2017 (the “Stipulation”)), the lender will be required to transfer an additional three (3) months of base rent under the Free People lease from the lender controlled Free People Rent Credit Reserve to the FP Attorney. In the event that the borrower has failed to deliver to lender a final order (or stipulation of discontinuance) prior to April 18, 2018 (the date that is five days prior to the date that is nine months following the date of the Stipulation), the lender will be required to transfer the remaining funds from the Free People Rent Credit Reserve to the FP Attorney.

 

The action proceeded to a bench trial in October 2017. On October 18, 2017, the court issued its decision holding that although the rent credit provisions constituted an unenforceable penalty, the borrower was responsible for slightly less than a nine month delay. As a result, the court awarded the tenant damages of $650,000 plus statutory interest of nine percent from August 1, 2015. At this point, it is unclear whether either party intends to appeal the court’s decision. Notably, borrower’s claim against the owner of the adjacent property, was severed from the main action and will be heard separately. Upon delivery of a final unappealable order by the court adjudicating the aforementioned dispute or a stipulation of discontinuance signed by both parties to the dispute, it is anticipated that certain amounts in the Free People Reserve and the Free People Rent Credit Reserve will be transferred to the tenant and any remaining amounts returned to the borrower.

 

With respect to the Mortgage Loan secured by the Mortgaged Property identified on Annex A-1 as Manchester Financial Building, the borrower sponsor is a defendant in connection with complaints filed related to allegations of, among other things, (i) elder financial abuse and (ii) fraud and breach of fiduciary duty in connection with an affiliate’s failure to disclose a foreclosure on an asset to shareholders. Each complaint alleges unspecified damages and injunctive relief, and both are in the pleadings stage.

 

With respect to the Mortgage Loan secured by the Mortgaged Property identified on Annex A-1 as 50 Varick Street, representing approximately 2.3% of the Initial Pool Balance, Spring Place, Ltd. and Spring Place One, Ltd. (affiliates of the second largest tenant, Spring Place New York, and the related guarantor) and the related guarantor, among others, are each named defendants in an action filed by supplemental summons with notice in 2016 by an affiliate of the largest tenant, Spring Studios New York LLC, alleging, among other things, (i) conversion and/or misappropriation of assets belonging to Spring Place, Ltd., Spring Place One, Ltd. and/or their affiliates and (ii) aiding and abetting of such conversion and/or misappropriation by the related guarantor. The plaintiff is seeking approximately $10.0 million in compensatory, punitive and related damages in connection with such action.

 

With respect to the Mortgage Loan secured by the Mortgaged Property identified on Annex A-1 as The District, representing approximately 2.0% of the Initial Pool Balance, the Mortgaged Property is, in part, currently subject to condemnation proceedings. A non-income producing, small portion of the Mortgaged Property is

 

 197

 

 

being taken by the State of Utah in connection with a project that is expected to improve access to the Mortgaged Property by providing a dedicated turning lane off of an arterial roadway into the shopping center. The portion of the Mortgaged Property subject to the condemnation proceedings is neither incoming-producing nor available for development given its proximity to the roadway. The project is expected to be completed in Fall 2018. See “Risk Factors—Condemnation of a Mortgaged Property May Adversely Affect Distributions on Certificates”.

 

With respect to the Mortgage Loan secured by the Mortgaged Property identified on Annex A-1 as Ramada Portland East, representing approximately 0.6% of the Initial Pool Balance, the borrower is currently a defendant in a wrongful death lawsuit filed in April 2017 related to an accidental death at the Mortgaged Property. The plaintiff is seeking $2.8 million in damages. According to the complaint, the deceased was struck by a sliding door at the lobby entrance of the Mortgaged Property, causing her to fall and hit her head on the concrete pavement. The complaint alleges that the borrower was negligent in maintaining the lobby doors, without notice of the danger or without inspecting and repairing the issue. The Mortgage Loan documents provide for recourse against the borrower and guarantor for losses and damages sustained due to such litigation. Additionally, the Mortgage Loan documents provide for full recourse against the guarantor so long as any judgment or settlement in favor of the plaintiff remains unsatisfied. At origination, approximately $153,775 was deposited into a litigation reserve to be disbursed upon the dismissal of the case or the satisfaction of any judgment or settlement in favor of plaintiff. The borrower’s insurance policy has $6 million per occurrence and $7 million aggregate liability coverage, which is expected to be sufficient to cover the maximum judgement amount.

 

With respect to the Mortgage Loan secured by the Mortgaged Property identified on Annex A-1 as Perry Hill Crossing, representing approximately 0.5 % of the Initial Pool Balance, in 2011, the City of Montgomery, Alabama proposed a road widening of Atlanta Highway, that fronts the Mortgaged Property on the Northerly boundary, and Perry Hill Street, which provides a service entrance to the rear of the Mortgaged Property on the Westerly boundary. The proposed Perry Hill Street widening is expected to result in a taking of a small portion of the Mortgaged Property in two locations, (i) a portion of asphalt drive that provides a back entrance to the Mortgaged Property and (ii) a portion of the Mortgaged Property that serves for drainage of the Mortgaged Property. The proposed Atlanta Highway widening is expected to impact the curbing along Atlanta Highway.

 

With respect to the Mortgage Loan secured in part by the Mortgaged Property identified on Annex A-1 as State Farm Regional HQ, representing approximately 1.0% of the Initial Pool Balance by allocated loan amount, the Mortgaged Property is currently subject to a condemnation proceeding pursuant to which such Mortgaged Property may lose up to two parking spaces relating to a permanent easement and right-of-way in connection with an off-ramp project by the Georgia Department of Transportation. The related borrower is not required to apply any such condemnation proceeds to prepay the related Mortgage Loan. The parcel of the Mortgaged Property subject to the condemnation proceedings has not been assigned any value in underwriting the related Mortgage Loan.

Default History, Bankruptcy Issues and Other Proceedings

 

Certain of the borrowers, principals of the borrowers and other entities under the control of such principals or single tenants at the related Mortgaged Properties or in certain cases a Mortgaged Property that secures a Mortgage Loan are, or previously have been, parties to bankruptcy proceedings, foreclosure proceedings, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure transactions and/or mortgage loan workouts resulting from mortgage loan defaults, which in some cases involved a Mortgaged Property that secures a Mortgage Loan to be included in the Trust. For example:

 

With respect to seventeen (17) Mortgage Loans secured by the Mortgaged Properties or portfolio of Mortgaged Properties identified on Annex A-1 as Yorkshire & Lexington Towers, National Office Portfolio, DoubleTree Wilmington, Crocker Block K & Detroit, Manchester Financial Building, Atrisco Plaza Shopping Center, Centennial Highlands, 50 Republic & 40 Marcus Drive, Winn Dixie Covington, SNP Portfolio, Whispering Lakes, Ramada Portland East, Perry Hill Crossing, Ivy Falls Center, Century Storage Crystal River, Hawthorn Place Townhomes and Triangle Square Shopping Center, representing in the aggregate approximately 29.0% of the Initial Pool Balance, (a) within approximately the last 10 years, related borrowers, sponsors and/or key principals (or affiliates thereof) have previously (i) sponsored, been a key principal with respect to, or been a payment or

Lease Expirations and Terminations

 

Expirations

 

Certain of the Mortgaged Properties are subject to tenant leases that expire before the maturity date of the related Mortgage Loan. For tenant lease expiration information in the form of a lease rollover chart relating to each of the top 15 Mortgage Loans, see the related summaries attached as Annex A-3. In addition, see Annex A-1 for tenant lease expiration dates for the 5 largest tenants (based on net rentable area leased) at each retail, office, mixed use and industrial Mortgaged Property. Whether or not any of the 5 largest tenants at a particular Mortgaged Property have leases that expire before, or shortly after, the maturity of the related Mortgage Loan, there may be a significant percentage of leases at a particular Mortgaged Property that expire in a single calendar year, a rolling 12-month period or prior to, or shortly after, the maturity of a Mortgage Loan. Furthermore, some of the Mortgaged Properties have significant leases or a significant concentration of leases that expire before, or shortly following, the maturity of the related Mortgage Loan. In addition, certain other Mortgaged Properties may have a significant portion of the leases that expire or can be terminated in a particular year, or portion thereof, at the related Mortgaged Property. Prospective investors are encouraged to review the tables entitled “Tenant Summary” and “Lease Rollover Schedule” for the 15 largest Mortgage Loans presented on Annex A-3, in particular those related to the Mortgaged Properties or portfolio of Mortgaged Properties identified on Annex A-1 as National Office Portfolio.

 

With respect to the Mortgage Loans secured, in whole or in part, by the Mortgaged Properties identified in the table below, each such Mortgaged Property is occupied by a single tenant under a lease that expires prior to, or within 12 months after, the maturity date (or, in the case of an ARD Loan, the Anticipated Repayment Date) of the related Mortgage Loan.

If a Mortgaged Property loses its sole tenant, whether upon expiration of the related lease or otherwise, the “dark value” of such property may be materially below the “as-is” value of such property or even the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan because of the difficulties of finding a new tenant that will lease the space on comparable terms as the old tenant. Such difficulties may arise from an oversupply of comparable

 

 202

 

 

space, high vacancy rates, low rental rates or the Mortgaged Property’s lack of suitability for most potential replacement tenants.

 

In addition, with respect to certain other Mortgaged Properties, there are leases that represent in the aggregate a material (greater than 25%) portion (but less than 100%) of the net rentable square footage of the related Mortgaged Property that expire in a single calendar year prior to, or shortly after, the maturity (or, in the case of an ARD Loan, the Anticipated Repayment Date) of the related Mortgage Loan.

 

See Annex A-1 for tenant lease expiration dates for the 5 largest tenants (based on net rentable area leased) at each retail, office, mixed use and industrial Mortgaged Property.

 

Terminations

 

In addition to termination options tied to certain triggers as described in “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Performance of the Mortgage Loans Will Be Highly Dependent on the Performance of Tenants and Tenant Leases—Early Lease Termination Options May Reduce Cash Flow” that are common with respect to retail properties, certain tenant leases permit the related tenant to unilaterally terminate its lease at any time. For example (with respect to the largest 15 Mortgage Loans and the largest 5 tenants at each related Mortgaged Property or portfolio of Mortgaged Properties, as applicable):

 

With respect to the Mortgage Loan secured by the Mortgaged Property identified on Annex A-1 as Centre 425 Bellevue, representing approximately 5.4% of the Initial Pool Balance, the second largest tenant, Starbucks, leasing approximately 0.6% of the net rentable area of the Mortgaged Property, may terminate its lease effective on June 30, 2022, with the payment of a termination fee equal to the unamortized portion of the tenant allowance and leasing commissions plus nine months’ rent, subject to a cap of $180,000.

Other

 

Tenants under certain leases included in the Underwritten Net Cash Flow, Underwritten NOI and/or Occupancy Rate may not be in physical occupancy, may not have begun paying rent or may be in negotiation. In particular, certain of the Mortgaged Properties have, among the 5 largest tenants at such Mortgaged Property (by net rentable area leased), tenants that have renewed leases or have taken possession of the space demised under the related lease with the related borrower, but have not yet commenced payments of rent or are in a rent abatement period under the related lease, or have tenants that have executed leases, but have not taken possession or commenced payment of rent, have tenants that are in a buildout phase and have not taken occupancy, have tenants that are expanding their space but have not commenced payment of the additional rent, have tenants that renewed leases that provide free rent and have not commenced payment of rent, have tenants that are entitled to free rent periods or rent abatement in the future, or have subleases in place that can increase vacancy risks. In certain circumstances, an escrow reserve related to free rent periods and tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions due in connection with such leases was funded at closing. Generally such tenants were underwritten as if they were in occupancy and paying full contractual rent. In addition, certain tenants’ rent may have been underwritten on a straight-lined basis. See Annex A-1 and the accompanying footnotes for additional information and Annex A-3 regarding additional information for the 15 largest Mortgage Loans.

 

For example, with respect to single tenant properties or tenants that are one of the top 5 tenants (by net rentable area leased) for the 15 largest Mortgage Loans, certain of such tenants have not taken possession or commenced paying rent or have rent underwritten on a straight-lined basis as set forth below:

With respect to the Mortgage Loan secured by the portfolio of Mortgaged Properties identified on Annex A-1 as ExchangeRight Net Leased Portfolio 17, representing approximately 5.0% of the Initial Pool Balance, the sole tenant at the Mortgaged

 

 207

warranty no. 6 on Annex D-1 and the exceptions thereto on Annex D-2 (subject to the limitations and qualifications set forth in the preamble to Annex D-1).

 

Affiliated Leases

 

Certain of the Mortgaged Properties are leased in whole or in part by borrowers or borrower affiliates. Set forth below are examples of Mortgaged Properties or portfolios of Mortgaged Properties at which at least 20% of (i) the gross income at the Mortgaged Property or portfolio of Mortgaged Properties relates to leases between the borrower and an affiliate of the borrower or (ii) the net rentable area at the Mortgaged Property or portfolio of Mortgaged Properties is leased to an affiliate of the borrower:

 

With respect to Mortgage Loans secured by the portfolio of Mortgaged Properties identified on Annex A-1 as Cabela’s Industrial Portfolio and Bass Pro & Cabela’s Portfolio, representing in the aggregate approximately 5.6% of the Initial Pool Balance, the related borrowers have entered into two master leases with Cabela’s Wholesale, Inc., that covers each of the Mortgaged Properties. The master leases were entered into as of the origination date between the borrowers as landlord and Cabela’s Wholesale, Inc., an affiliate of the borrowers, as master tenant (the “Master Tenant”), each for a term of 25 years. The obligations of the Master Tenant under the master leases are guaranteed by Bass Pro Group, LLC, an affiliate of the Master Tenant and the borrowers. Each master lease is fully subordinated to the related Mortgage Loan pursuant to subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreements. The initial aggregate annual rent under the master leases is $9,726,813 for the Cabela’s Industrial Portfolio Mortgaged Properties and $26,652,400 for the Bass Pro & Cabela’s Portfolio Mortgaged Properties, and will be increased every 5 years based on the consumer price index. Upon expiration of the master leases, the Master Tenant will not have the option to purchase either portfolio.

See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Performance of the Mortgage Loans Will Be Highly Dependent on the Performance of Tenants and Tenant Leases—Mortgaged Properties Leased to Borrowers or Borrower Affiliated Entities Also Have Risks”.

 

Insurance Considerations

 

The Mortgage Loans generally require that each Mortgaged Property be insured by a hazard insurance policy in an amount (subject to an approved deductible) at least equal to the lesser of the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan and 100% of

 

 209

 

 

the replacement cost of the improvements located on the related Mortgaged Property, and if applicable, that the related hazard insurance policy contain appropriate endorsements or have been issued in an amount sufficient to avoid the application of co-insurance and not permit reduction in insurance proceeds for depreciation; provided that, in the case of certain of the Mortgage Loans, the hazard insurance may be in such other amounts as was required by the related originators.

 

In general, the standard form of hazard insurance policy covers physical damage to, or destruction of, the improvements on the Mortgaged Property by fire, lightning, explosion, smoke, windstorm and hail, riot or strike and civil commotion, subject to the conditions and exclusions set forth in each policy. Each Mortgage Loan generally also requires the related borrower to maintain comprehensive general liability insurance against claims for personal and bodily injury, death or property damage occurring on, in or about the related Mortgaged Property in an amount generally equal to at least $1,000,000. Each Mortgage Loan generally further requires the related borrower to maintain business interruption insurance in an amount not less than approximately 100% of the gross rental income from the related Mortgaged Property for not less than 12 months. In general, the Mortgage Loans (including those secured by Mortgaged Properties located in California) do not require earthquake insurance. Eighteen (18) of the Mortgaged Properties, securing Mortgage Loans collectively representing 29.1% of the Initial Pool Balance by allocated loan amount, are located in areas that are considered a high earthquake risk (seismic zones 3 and 4). Seismic reports were prepared with respect to these Mortgaged Properties, and based on those reports, no Mortgaged Property has a probable maximum loss greater than 33%.

 

With respect to certain of the Mortgaged Properties, the related borrowers (or, in some cases, tenants which are permitted to maintain insurance in lieu of the related borrowers) maintain insurance under blanket policies.

 

Certain of the Mortgaged Properties may be insured by, or subject to self-insurance on the part of, a sole or significant tenant or the property manager as described below:

 

With respect to the Mortgage Loans secured by the Mortgaged Properties identified on Annex A-1 as ExchangeRight Net Leased Portfolio 17 – Walgreens - Waukesha, WI, ExchangeRight Net Leased Portfolio 17 – Walgreens - Blacklick, OH, ExchangeRight Net Leased Portfolio 17 – Dollar General - Walker, LA, ExchangeRight Net Leased Portfolio 17 – Dollar General - Columbia, SC, ExchangeRight Net Leased Portfolio 17 – Dollar General - Zanesville, OH, ExchangeRight Net Leased Portfolio 17 – Dollar General - Norton, OH, ExchangeRight Net Leased Portfolio 17 – Dollar General - Belleview, IL, ExchangeRight Net Leased Portfolio 17 – Dollar General - Denham Springs, LA, ExchangeRight Net Leased Portfolio 17 – Napa Auto Parts - Sun Prairie, WI, Dollar General Aroma Park, At Home Portfolio, TransUnion Office Building, IGT Reno and Biolife - Riverton, representing in the aggregate approximately 7.2% of the Initial Pool Balance by allocated loan amount, each related borrower may rely on the applicable single tenant’s insurance or self-insurance, so long as the single tenant’s lease is in effect and no default has occurred under the lease and either (i) the tenant’s insurance meets the requirements under the related Mortgage Loan documents or (ii) the tenant’s insurance requirements under its lease, including any permitted self-insurance, were otherwise acceptable to the originator. If the single tenant fails to provide acceptable insurance coverage, the related borrower must obtain or provide supplemental coverage to meet the requirements under the Mortgage Loan documents or the lease (as applicable under the circumstances).

 

 210

 

 

With respect to Mortgage Loans secured by the portfolios of Mortgaged Properties identified on Annex A-1 as Cabela’s Industrial Portfolio and Bass Pro & Cabela’s Portfolio, representing approximately 2.9% and 2.7%, respectively of the Initial Pool Balance, each the borrower’s obligation to provide required insurance (including property, rent loss, commercial general liability and terrorism coverage) is suspended if the master tenant (Cabela’s Wholesale) elects to provide third party insurance and/or self-insure in accordance with each respective master lease. Each master lease permits the master tenant to self-insure if the lease guarantor (Bass Pro Group, LLC) maintains a minimum net worth of $250,000,000. Each master tenant has no rent abatement or termination remedies for any reason during the related Mortgage Loan term. The provisions of each master lease will control disbursement of any casualty proceeds. Each master lease is guaranteed by Bass Pro Group, LLC (S&P “B+”, Moody’s “Ba3”).

 

With respect to the Mortgage Loan secured by the Mortgaged Property identified on Annex A-1 as 237 Park Avenue, representing approximately 3.4% of the Initial Pool Balance, the borrower must provide or cause the condominium board to provide the insurance required pursuant to the Mortgage Loan documents.

 

With respect to the Mortgage Loan secured by the Mortgaged Property identified on Annex A-1 as Murrieta Plaza, representing approximately 1.3% of the Initial Pool Balance, the third largest tenant, Walgreens, representing approximately 10.2% of the net rentable area provides insurance with respect to its leased premises at the Mortgaged Property.

 

Further, with respect to Mortgaged Properties that are part of condominium regimes, the insurance may be maintained by the condominium association rather than the related borrower. In some cases involving major tenants, the application of insurance proceeds and condemnation awards to repair or restore a Mortgaged Property may be subject to the related lease. Many Mortgage Loans contain limitations on the obligation to obtain terrorism insurance. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Terrorism Insurance May Not Be Available for All Mortgaged Properties”. See also representation and warranty nos. 16 and 29 on Annex D-1 and the exceptions thereto on Annex D-2 (subject to the limitations and qualifications set forth in the preamble to Annex D-1).

 

See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Risks Associated with Blanket Insurance Policies or Self-Insurance”.

 

Use Restrictions

 

Certain of the Mortgaged Properties are subject to restrictions that restrict the use of such Mortgaged Properties to its current use, place other use restrictions on such Mortgaged Property or limit the related borrower’s ability to make changes to such Mortgaged Property.

 

With respect to the Mortgage Loan secured by the portfolio of Mortgaged Properties identified on Annex A-1 as Delshah NYC Portfolio, representing approximately 3.8% of the Initial Pool Balance, the improvements at each of the related Mortgaged Properties are New York City “designated landmarks” and the exterior may not be altered in any way that would cause a violation of the New York City Landmarks Law.

 

With respect to the Mortgage Loan secured by the Mortgaged Property identified on Annex A-1 as 50 Varick Street, representing approximately 2.3% of the Initial Pool Balance, a permanent certificate of occupancy has not been issued for the related Mortgaged Property. In addition, the temporary certificate of occupancy in place for the related

 

 211

 

 

Mortgaged Property expired on October 24, 2017. A renewal of the temporary certificate of occupancy has been filed but will not be issued until physical inspection of the related Mortgaged Property, in addition to the routine administrative renewal process, is completed.

 

With respect to the Mortgage Loan secured by the Mortgaged Property identified on Annex A-1 as Loyalty and Hamilton, representing approximately 1.6% of the Initial Pool Balance, the Mortgaged Property consists of two adjacent buildings that have openings that allow passage between the buildings, which openings are generally prohibited under the local building code. Pursuant to a Fire and Life Safety Agreement with the City of Portland Fire Marshall’s Office, the City of Portland has approved the use of such passageways provided the buildings remain under common ownership. The Mortgaged Property is subject to a recorded prohibition on the separate sale or deed of either building (such that the buildings are no longer under common ownership) without the prior written consent of the City of Portland Bureau of Development Services and Fire Marshall’s Office.

 

With respect to the Mortgage Loan secured by the Mortgaged Property identified on Annex A-1 as GlobalFoundries Industrial Portfolio, representing approximately 1.6% of the Initial Pool Balance, the Mortgaged Property is subject to certain land use restrictions prohibiting, among other things, (i) the use of groundwater at the Mortgaged Property or (ii) the use of the Mortgaged Property for residential purposes. See “—Environmental Considerations” for additional information.

 

In the case of such Mortgage Loans subject to such restrictions, the related borrower is generally required pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan documents to maintain law or ordinance insurance coverage if any of the improvements or the use of a Mortgaged Property constitutes a legal non-conforming structure or use, which provides coverage for loss to the undamaged portion of such property, demolition costs and the increased cost of construction. However, such law and ordinance insurance coverage does not provide any coverage for lost future rents or other damages from the inability to restore the property to its prior use or structure or for any loss of value to the related property. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Risks Related to Zoning Non-Compliance and Use Restrictions” and representation and warranty nos. 6 and 24 on Annex D-1 and the exceptions thereto on Annex D-2 (subject to the limitations and qualifications set forth in the preamble to Annex D-1).

 

In addition, certain of the Mortgaged Properties are subject to “historic” or “landmark” designations, which results in restrictions and in some cases prohibitions on modification of certain aspects of the related Mortgaged Property.

 

 212

 

 

Appraised Value

 

In certain cases, appraisals may reflect “as-is” values and values other than “as-is”. However, the Appraised Value reflected in this prospectus with respect to each Mortgaged Property reflects only the “as-is” value unless otherwise specified in this prospectus, Annex A-1 and/or the related footnotes. The values other than “as-is” may be based on certain assumptions, such as future construction completion, projected re-tenanting, payment of tenant improvement or leasing commissions allowances or free or abated rent periods, or increased tenant occupancies. The table below shows the LTV and appraised value using values other than “as-is”, as well as the corresponding LTV and appraised value using “as-is” values.

(5)The Appraised Value of $14,000,000 is the “as-completed” appraised value as of April 2018, reflecting completion of a franchisor-required PIP. At origination, the borrower reserved approximately $1.034 million, representing approximately 110% of the estimated cost to complete the PIP.

 

See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Appraisals May Not Reflect Current or Future Market Value of Each Property”.

 

Non-Recourse Carveout Limitations

 

While the Mortgage Loans generally contain non-recourse carveouts for liabilities such as liabilities as a result of fraud by the borrower, certain voluntary insolvency proceedings or other matters, certain of the Mortgage Loans may not contain such carveouts or contain limitations to such carveouts. In general, the liquidity and net worth of a non-recourse guarantor under a Mortgage Loan will be less, and may be materially less, than the outstanding principal amount of that Mortgage Loan. In addition, certain Mortgage Loans have additional limitations to the non-recourse carveouts or may not have a separate non-recourse carveout guarantor or environmental indemnitor. See representation and warranty no. 26 on Annex D-1 and the exceptions thereto on Annex D-2 (subject to the limitations and qualifications set forth in the preamble to Annex D-1). For example:

 

 213

 

 

A substantial portion of the Mortgage Loans, including several of the 15 largest Mortgage Loans, provide, with respect to liability for breaches of the environmental covenants in the Mortgage Loan documents, that the recourse obligations for environmental indemnification may terminate immediately (or in some cases, following a specified period, such as two or three years) after payment or defeasance in full of such Mortgage Loans (or in some cases, after a permitted transfer of the Mortgaged Property) if certain conditions more fully set forth in the related Mortgage Loan documents are satisfied, such as that the holder of the Mortgage Loan must have received an environmental inspection report for the related Mortgaged Property meeting criteria set forth in such Mortgage Loan documents, or that the holder must have received comprehensive record searches evidencing that there are no “Recognized Environmental Conditions” at the Mortgaged Property.

 

With respect to certain of the Mortgage Loans the related guaranty and/or environmental indemnity contains provisions to the effect that, provided certain conditions are satisfied, the recourse liability of the guarantor will not apply to any action, event or condition arising after the foreclosure, delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, or appointment of a receiver, of the Mortgaged Property, pursuant to such Mortgage Loan and/or after the foreclosure, acceptance of a transfer in lieu of foreclosure or appointment of a receiver by a mezzanine lender under any related mezzanine loan.

 

The non-recourse carveout provisions contained in certain of the Mortgage Loan documents may also limit the liability of the non-recourse carveout guarantor for certain monetary obligations or covenants related to the use and operation of the Mortgaged Property to the extent that there is sufficient cash flow generated by the Mortgaged Property and made available to the related borrower and/or non-recourse carveout guarantor to take or prevent such required action.

 

With respect to Mortgage Loan secured by the portfolio of Mortgaged Properties identified on Annex A-1 as Burbank Office Portfolio, representing approximately 5.4% of the Initial Pool Balance, there is no separate environmental indemnitor other than the related borrower and the guarantor is only liable for 15% of the outstanding principal balance of the Whole Loan.

 

With respect to Mortgage Loans secured by the portfolios of Mortgaged Properties identified on Annex A-1 as Cabela’s Industrial Portfolio and Bass Pro & Cabela’s Portfolio, representing approximately 2.9% and 2.7%, respectively of the Initial Pool Balance, the related guarantor is only liable for 20% of the guaranty obligations arising from a bankruptcy or similar event of the related borrowers.

 

With respect to the Mortgage Loan secured by the Mortgaged Property identified on Annex A-1 as 50 Varick Street, representing approximately 2.3% of the Initial Pool Balance, there is no recourse to the guarantor for breaches of the environmental covenants contained in the Mortgage Loan documents, nor was an environmental indemnity obtained from an entity distinct from the borrower. However, the lender did obtain a lender environmental collateral protection and liability insurance policy from Steadfast Insurance Company, with a policy limit of $5,000,000 per incident and in the aggregate, a $25,000 deductible and a 13-year term. The lender is named as the insured under the policy and the policy premium was paid in full.

 

With respect to the Mortgage Loan secured by the Mortgaged Property identified on Annex A-1 as IGT Reno, representing approximately 2.0% of the Initial Pool

 

 214

 

 

Balance, the related guarantors are severally (by proportionate share of ownership in the related borrower) but not jointly liable for the non-recourse carveout obligations described in the Mortgage Loan documents.

 

With respect to the Mortgage Loan secured by the Mortgaged Property identified on Annex A-1 as TransUnion Office Building, representing approximately 0.8% of the Initial Pool Balance, there is no recourse to the guarantor for breaches of the environmental covenants contained in the Mortgage Loan documents, nor was an environmental indemnity obtained from an entity distinct from the borrower.

 

With respect to the Mortgage Loan secured by the Mortgaged Property identified on Annex A-1 as Dollar General Aroma Park, representing approximately 0.1% of the Initial Pool Balance, there is no recourse to the guarantor for breaches of the environmental covenants contained in the Mortgage Loan documents, nor was an environmental indemnity obtained from an entity distinct from the borrower.

 

In addition, there may be impediments and/or difficulties in enforcing some or all of the non-recourse carveout liability obligations of individual guarantors depending on the domicile or citizenship of the guarantor.

 

See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Mortgage Loans Are Non-Recourse and Are Not Insured or Guaranteed”.

 

Real Estate and Other Tax Considerations

 

Below are descriptions of real estate tax matters relating to certain Mortgaged Properties.

 

With respect to the Mortgage Loan secured by the Mortgaged Property identified on Annex A-1 as 50 Varick Street, representing approximately 2.3% of the Initial Pool Balance, the Mortgaged Property benefits from a ten-year New York City Industrial and Commercial Abatement Program (“ICAP”) property tax abatement. The ICAP abatement grants a fixed exemption of approximately $595,317 through the 2019/2020 tax year, followed by a reduced exemption of approximately: 80% in the 2020/2021 tax year, 60% in the 2021/2022 tax year, 40% in the 2022/2023 tax year and 20% in each of the 2023/2024 and 2024/2025 tax years. The ICAP abatement commenced in the 2015/2016 tax year and will expire in the 2024/2025 tax year. The lender underwrote property taxes based on the average expected abated property taxes through the expiration of the ICAP program. The ICAP exemption is subject to reduction if more than 5% of the building (the Mortgaged Property constitutes two of seven condominium units in the building) is used for retail purposes.

 

With respect to Mortgage Loan secured in part by the Mortgaged Property identified on Annex A-1 as AHIP Northeast Portfolio III - SpringHill Suites - Bellport, representing approximately 0.8% of the Initial Pool Balance by allocated loan amount, the Mortgaged Property is subject to a lease and project agreement (the “IDA Lease”) between the Brookhaven Industrial Development Agency (the “Agency”), as ground lessor, and the related borrower, as ground lessee, which expires on November 30, 2021. Under the IDA Lease, (i) the related borrower is obligated to pay to the ground lessor an amount equal to the base rent equal to $1.00 plus a $1,000 annual compliance fee, due by January 1 of each year beginning in 2018, and (ii) the related borrower is permitted, under the payment-in-lieu-of-taxes (“PILOT”) program, to pay an amount equal to the normal

 

 215

 

 

tax assessment on the land and improvements existing on the Mortgaged Property as of December 1, 2008 (approximately $8,929 according to the appraiser), and is not required to pay any increase in assessment resulting from the acquisition, construction, and equipping of the Mortgaged Property after such date. In addition, under the PILOT program, the related borrower is required to employ at least 36 full-time employees at the Mortgaged Property. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the IDA Lease, (i) the Mortgaged Property will be reassessed (to include the new improvements) and it is anticipated that annual taxes commencing December 1, 2021, will be approximately $520,711 according to the appraiser, and (ii) the Agency is obligated to sell the Mortgaged Property to the related borrower for a purchase price equal to $1.00, plus applicable fees, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions, including updated recordable and title documents reflecting a first priority lien upon the fee interest, set forth in the Mortgage Loan documents. The Agency consented to the Mortgage Loan and granted a first priority lien on its fee interest in the Mortgaged Property to the lender.

 

With respect to the Mortgage Loan secured in part by the Mortgaged Property identified on Annex A-1 as State Farm Regional HQ, representing approximately 1.0% of the Initial Pool Balance by allocated loan amount, title to the Mortgaged Property is currently vested in the name of the Dunwoody Development Authority as part of a taxable revenue bond inducement program with the City of Dunwoody, which qualifies the Mortgaged Property for a sliding scale abatement on real property taxes commencing in 2013 for a 10-year period. The tax abatement savings are as follows for the remainder of the period: 2017 (49%), 2018 (40%), 2018 (31%), 2020 (22%), 2021 (13%) and 2022 (4%). The lender obtained a joinder executed by the Dunwoody Development Authority joining the fee interest in the Mortgaged Property to the borrower’s leasehold deed to secure debt in favor of the lender, thereby giving the lender a fee and leasehold deed to secure debt on the entire Mortgaged Property.

 

With respect to the Mortgage Loan secured by the Mortgaged Property identified on Annex A-1 as Crocker Block K & Detroit, representing approximately 2.0% of the Initial Pool Balance, the related borrower obtained a tax exemption for sales tax for certain hard costs of construction of the Block K portion of the related Mortgaged Property (“Block K”) by financing such construction through bonds issued by the Cleveland-Cuyahoga County Port Authority (the “Port”). Such tax exemption requires that the Port remain the fee owner of Block K until June 2019. The subject Mortgage Loan is secured by a lien on the Port’s fee interest, as well as the related borrower’s leasehold interest, in the related Mortgaged Property, so that if an uncured event of default occurs under the subject Mortgage, the lender may foreclose on the fee interest in the related Mortgaged Property. The related borrower does not owe any rent under the related ground lease, pursuant to which ground lease the Port is obligated to transfer the fee interest to the related borrower in June 2019. If the related borrower transfers its ownership interest in the related Mortgaged Property before June 2019, however, then the related borrower would be subject to liability for recapture of the approximately $83,000 of previous sales tax exemption. Any such liability would not be secured by Block K, but instead is a personal liability of the Port for with the related borrower is liable to indemnify the Port. The borrower sponsor will have loss recourse to the lender in connection with any government recapture of the sales tax exemption.

 

 216

 

 

In addition, the construction of certain public infrastructure serving Block K, including roadways, was financed through the City of Westlake’s tax increment financing bond program, such that the related borrower is required to pay a minimum amount of real estate tax on Block K that is equal to the payments on the related bonds. The stabilized real estate tax assessment is underwritten to be above the required bond payments.

 

With respect to the Mortgage Loan secured by the Mortgaged Property identified on Annex A-1 as GlobalFoundries Industrial Portfolio, representing approximately 1.6% of the Initial Pool Balance, the Mortgaged Property is part of a tax lot that includes property that is not part of the Mortgaged Property, but which property is assessed taxes together with the Mortgaged Property. Under the Mortgage Loan documents, the Mortgagor is required to cause the creation of separate tax lots. The Mortgage Loan documents require the Mortgagor to escrow amounts sufficient to pay its pro rata share of taxes; however, pursuant to the sole tenant’s lease, the sole tenant is obligated to pay taxes due with respect to the Mortgaged Property directly to the related taxing authority.

 

See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Increases in Real Estate Taxes May Reduce Available Funds”.

 

Delinquency Information

 

As of the Cut-off Date, none of the Mortgage Loans will be 30 days or more delinquent and none of the Mortgage Loans have been 30 days or more delinquent since origination. A Mortgage Loan will be treated as 30 days delinquent if the scheduled payment for a due date is not received from the related borrower by the immediately following due date.

 

Certain Terms of the Mortgage Loans

 

Amortization of Principal

 

The Mortgage Loans provide for one or more of the following:

 

Twelve (12) Mortgage Loans, representing approximately 38.5% of the Initial Pool Balance, provide for interest only payments for the entire term to stated maturity, with no scheduled amortization prior to that date.

 

Eighteen (18) Mortgage Loans, representing approximately 28.7% of the Initial Pool Balance, require monthly payments of interest and principal based on amortization schedules significantly longer than the remaining term to stated maturity.

 

Sixteen (16) Mortgage Loans, representing approximately 26.5% of the Initial Pool Balance, provide for an initial interest-only period that expires between twelve (12) and sixty (60) months following the related origination date and thereafter require monthly payments of principal and interest based on amortization schedules significantly longer than the remaining term to stated maturity.

 

Three (3) Mortgage Loans, representing approximately 6.3% of the Initial Pool Balance, each provides for interest-only payments prior to a specified Anticipated Repayment Date, occurring approximately 10 years following the origination date with respect to the subject Mortgage Loan, with no scheduled amortization prior to that date.

Total:   49   $743,403,651  100.0%

 

As used in this prospectus, “grace period” is the number of days before a payment default is an event of default under the terms of each Mortgage Loan. See Annex A-1 for information on the number of days before late payment charges are due under the Mortgage Loans. The information on Annex A-1 regarding the number of days before a late payment charge is due is based on the express terms of the Mortgage Loans. Some jurisdictions may impose a statutorily longer period.

 

All of the Mortgage Loans are secured by first liens on, or security interests in fee simple, leasehold or a similar interest in the related Mortgaged Properties, subject to the permitted exceptions reflected in the related title insurance policy. All of the Mortgage Loans bear fixed interest rates.

 

 218

 

 

All of the Mortgage Loans accrue interest on the basis of the actual number of days in a month, assuming a 360-day year (“Actual/360 Basis”).

 

ARD Loans

 

Three (3) Mortgage Loans secured by the Mortgaged Properties identified on Annex A-1 as Centre 425 Bellevue, TransUnion Office Building and Dollar General Aroma Park, respectively, (the “ARD Loans”), collectively representing approximately 6.3% of the Initial Pool Balance, each provides that, after a certain date (an “Anticipated Repayment Date”), if the related borrower has not prepaid the ARD Loan in full, any principal outstanding on that date will accrue interest at an increased interest rate (a “Revised Rate”) rather than the original stated Mortgage Rate (an “Initial Rate”). See Annex A-1 for the Anticipated Repayment Date and the Revised Rate for each ARD Loan.

 

Each ARD Loan is interest-only; consequently, the repayment of the ARD Loan in full on its Anticipated Repayment Date would require a substantial payment of principal on that date (except to the extent that such ARD Loan is repaid prior thereto). The ARD provisions described above, to the extent applicable, may result in an incentive for the related borrower to repay an ARD Loan on or before its Anticipated Repayment Date but the related borrower will have no obligation to do so. We make no statement regarding the likelihood that an ARD Loan will be repaid on its Anticipated Repayment Date.

 

After its Anticipated Repayment Date, each ARD Loan further requires that all cash flow available from the related Mortgaged Property after payment of the monthly debt service payments required under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents and all escrows and property expenses required under the related Mortgage Loan documents be used to accelerate amortization of principal (without payment of any yield maintenance premium or prepayment charge) on such ARD Loan. While interest at the Initial Rate continues to accrue and be payable on a current basis on an ARD Loan after its Anticipated Repayment Date, the payment of Excess Interest will be deferred until, and such Excess Interest will be required to be paid only after, the outstanding principal balance of the ARD Loan has been paid in full, at which time the Excess Interest, to the extent actually collected, will be paid to the holders of the Class Z certificates. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Risks of Anticipated Repayment Date Loans”.

 

Excess Interest” with respect to an ARD Loan is the interest accrued on the related outstanding principal balance at the Revised Rate in respect of such ARD Loan in excess of the interest accrued at the Initial Rate, plus any related interest accrued on such amounts, to the extent permitted by applicable law and the related Mortgage Loan documents.

 

Single Purpose Entity Covenants

 

See representation and warranty no. 31 on Annex D-1 and the exceptions thereto on Annex D-2 (subject to the limitations and qualifications set forth in the preamble to Annex D-1).

 

See “—Additional Indebtedness” below. See “Certain Legal Aspects of Mortgage Loans—Bankruptcy Laws”.

 

Prepayment Protections and Certain Involuntary Prepayments

 

All of the Mortgage Loans have a degree of voluntary prepayment protection in the form of defeasance or prepayment lockout provisions and/or yield maintenance provisions. Voluntary prepayments, if permitted, generally require the payment of a Yield Maintenance

 

 219

 

 

Charge or a Prepayment Premium unless the Mortgage Loan (or Whole Loan, if applicable) is prepaid within a specified period (ranging from approximately 3 to 7 payments) up to and including the stated maturity date. See Annex A-1 and Annex A-2 for more information on the prepayment protections attributable to the Mortgage Loans on a loan-by-loan basis and a pool basis.

 

Additionally, certain Mortgage Loans may provide that in the event of the exercise of a purchase option by a tenant or the sale of real property or the release of a portion of the Mortgaged Property, that the related Mortgage Loans may be prepaid or defeased in part prior to the expiration of a prepayment/defeasance lockout provision. See “—Releases; Partial Releases” below.

 

Generally, no Yield Maintenance Charge will be required for prepayments in connection with a casualty or condemnation, unless, in the case of most of the Mortgage Loans, an event of default has occurred and is continuing. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Risks Relating to Enforceability of Yield Maintenance Charges, Prepayment Premiums or Defeasance Provisions” in the prospectus. In addition, certain of the Mortgage Loans permit the related borrower, after a total or partial casualty or partial condemnation, to prepay the remaining principal balance of the Mortgage Loan or the remaining allocated loan amount of the related Mortgaged Property (in each case, after application of the related insurance proceeds or condemnation award to pay the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan), which may not be accompanied by any prepayment consideration.

 

Certain of the Mortgage Loans are secured in part by letters of credit and/or cash reserves that in each such case:

 

will be released to the related borrower upon satisfaction by the related borrower of certain performance related conditions, which may include, in some cases, meeting debt service coverage ratio levels and/or satisfying leasing conditions; and

 

if not so released, may, at the discretion of the lender, prior to loan maturity (or earlier loan default or loan acceleration), be drawn on and/or applied to prepay the subject Mortgage Loan if such performance related conditions are not satisfied within specified time periods.

 

See Annex A-1 and Annex A-3 for more information on reserves relating to the largest 15 Mortgage Loans.

 

Voluntary Prepayments

 

As of origination, the following prepayment restrictions and defeasance provisions applied to the Mortgage Loans:

 

Thirty-eight (38) of the Mortgage Loans, collectively representing approximately 69.5% of the Initial Pool Balance, each prohibits voluntary principal prepayments during a specified period of time (each, a “Lock-out Period”) but permit the related borrower (after an initial period of at least two years following the date of initial issuance of the Offered Certificates) for a specified period to defease the related Mortgage Loan by pledging non-callable United States Treasury obligations and other non-callable government securities within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, as amended (“Government Securities”) that provide for payment on or prior to each Due Date through and including the maturity date or Anticipated Repayment Date, as applicable (or, in some cases, such earlier Due Date on which the Mortgage Loan becomes freely prepayable), of amounts at least

 

 220

 

 

equal to the amounts that would have been payable or outstanding, as applicable, on those dates under the terms of the subject Mortgage Loan and obtaining the release of the related Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related mortgage, and thereafter such Mortgage Loan is freely prepayable.

 

Five (5) of the Mortgage Loans, collectively representing approximately 13.3% of the Initial Pool Balance, each prohibits voluntary principal prepayments during a Lock-out Period, and following such Lock-out Period, permit voluntary principal prepayments upon the payment of the greater of a Yield Maintenance Charge or a Prepayment Premium for a period and thereafter such Mortgage Loan is freely prepayable.

 

Two (2) of the Mortgage Loans, collectively representing approximately 5.6% of the Initial Pool Balance, each prohibits voluntary principal prepayments during a Lock-out Period, and following such Lock-out Period, permits the related borrower to make voluntary principal prepayments upon the payment of the greater of a Yield Maintenance Charge or a Prepayment Premium for a specified period, and thereafter for a specified period, permits the borrower to either (a) make voluntary principal prepayments upon the payment of the greater of a Yield Maintenance Charge or a Prepayment Premium or (b) to defease such Mortgage Loan by pledging Government Securities (or in some cases, other securities, subject to certain REMIC and rating conditions) that provide for payment on or prior to each Due Date through and including the maturity date or Anticipated Repayment Date, as applicable (or, in some cases, such earlier Due Date on which the Mortgage Loan becomes freely prepayable), of amounts at least equal to the amounts that would have been payable on those dates under the terms of the subject Mortgage Loan and obtaining the release of the related Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related mortgage, and thereafter such Mortgage Loan is freely prepayable.

 

One (1) of the Mortgage Loans, representing approximately 5.4% of the Initial Pool Balance, for a specified period of time, permits the related borrower to make voluntary principal prepayments upon the payment of the greater of a Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium, and, thereafter for a specified period of time, permits the borrower to either (a) make voluntary principal prepayments upon the payment of the greater of a Yield Maintenance Charge or a Prepayment Premium or (b) defease such Mortgage Loan by pledging Government Securities (or in some cases, other securities, subject to certain REMIC and rating conditions) that provide for payment on or prior to each Due Date through and including the maturity date or Anticipated Repayment Date, as applicable (or, in some cases, such earlier Due Date on which the Mortgage Loan becomes freely prepayable), of amounts at least equal to the amounts that would have been payable on those dates under the terms of the subject Mortgage Loan and obtaining the release of the related Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related mortgage, and thereafter such Mortgage Loan is freely prepayable.

 

One (1) of the Mortgage Loans, representing approximately 5.4% of the Initial Pool Balance, prohibits voluntary principal prepayments during a Lock-out Period, and following such Lock-out Period, permits the related borrower to (a) make voluntary principal prepayments upon the payment of the greater of a Yield Maintenance Charge or a Prepayment Premium or (b) to defease such Mortgage Loan by pledging Government Securities (or in some cases, other securities, subject to certain REMIC and rating conditions) that provide for payment on or prior to each Due Date through and including the maturity date or Anticipated Repayment Date, as applicable (or, in some cases, such earlier Due Date on which the Mortgage

 

 

 221

 

 

Loan becomes freely prepayable), of amounts at least equal to the amounts that would have been payable on those dates under the terms of the subject Mortgage Loan and obtaining the release of the related Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related mortgage, and thereafter such Mortgage Loan is freely prepayable.

  

One (1) of the Mortgage Loans, representing approximately 2.7% of the Initial Pool Balance, may be prepaid after a Lock-out Period, subject to either a Yield Maintenance Charge or defeasance. Alternatively, following the 24th regular monthly payment date, the borrowers may prepay the Mortgage Loan in whole or in part with an accompanying payment of a Yield Maintenance Charge, which will be no less than 1.0% of the principal balance being prepaid; provided that no yield maintenance will be payable with respect to the first $25,000,000 (the “Permitted Free Prepayment Amount”) of principal repaid so long as no event of default under the Bass Pro & Cabela’s Portfolio Whole Loan has occurred and is continuing (except in the case where such prepayment is effected in order to cure or prevent a default or an event of default or is the payment of a release price to cure an event of default, and such default or event of default is not the result of the willful misconduct or bad faith actions of any related borrower). Promissory Notes A-3(A-CP), A-3(B-CP), A-3(C-CP), A-3(D-NCP), A-3(E-NCP) and A-3(F-NCP) are collectively referred to herein as the “A-3 Notes”. Any prepayment made of the Permitted Free Prepayment Amount will be allocated among Note A-1, Note A-2 and the A-3 Notes in the aggregate, on a pro rata and pari passu basis. However, any such prepayments of the Permitted Free Prepayment Amount (including any prepayments made in connection with the release of any of the Mortgaged Properties (See “—Releases; Partial Releases” below)) that are allocated to the A-3 Notes in the aggregate will not be allocated among the individual A-3 Notes on a pro rata and pari passu basis, but instead will generally be allocated first to Note A-3(D-NCP), Note A-3(E-NCP) and Note A-3(F-NCP), on a pro rata and pari passu basis, until the principal balance of such notes has been reduced to zero, and then to Note A-3(A-CP), Note A-3(B-CP) and Note A-3(C-CP), on a pro rata and pari passu basis, until the principal balance of such notes has been reduced to zero. The maximum permitted free prepayment amount that may be allocated to the A-3 Notes in the aggregate is $7,500,000. The aggregate of the principal balances of Note A-3(D-NCP), Note A-3(E-NCP) and Note A-3(F-NCP) (collectively, the “Non-Call Protected A-3 Notes”) is also $7,500,000. As a result, it is expected that any Permitted Free Prepayment Amounts allocated to the A-3 Notes in the aggregate will generally be allocated to the Non-Call Protected A-3 Notes and will not be allocated to the Mortgage Loan (Note A-3(A-CP)), Note A-3(B-CP), or Note A-3(C-CP), unless the aggregate principal balance of the Non-Call Protected A-3 Notes was previously reduced to an amount that is less than the amount of any Permitted Free Prepayment Amount.

 

Two (2) of the Mortgage Loans, representing approximately 0.9% of the Initial Pool Balance, each permits the related borrower to make voluntary principal prepayments upon the payment of a Yield Maintenance Charge for a specified period, and thereafter for a specified period, permits the borrower to either (a) make voluntary principal prepayments upon the payment of a Yield Maintenance Charge or (b) to defease such Mortgage Loan by pledging Government Securities (or, in some cases, other securities, subject to certain REMIC and rating conditions) that provide for payment on or prior to each Due Date through and including the maturity date or Anticipated Repayment Date, as applicable (or, in some cases, such earlier Due Date on which the Mortgage Loan becomes freely prepayable), of amounts at least equal to the amounts that would have been payable (or, in the

 

 222

 

 

case of an Anticipated Repayment Date or the commencement of an open prepayment period, outstanding) on those dates under the terms of the subject Mortgage Loan and obtaining the release of the related Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related mortgage, and thereafter such Mortgage Loan is freely prepayable.

 

The Mortgage Loans generally permit voluntary prepayment without payment of a Yield Maintenance Charge or any Prepayment Premium during a limited “open period” immediately prior to and including the stated maturity date, as follows:

 

Prepayment Open Periods

 

Open Periods (Payments)  Number of Mortgage Loans  % of Initial Pool Balance
3  6   8.9%
4  27   43.7 
5  3   5.3 
6  4   14.1 
7  9   28.1 
Total   49   100.0%

 

See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Risks Relating to Enforceability of Yield Maintenance Charges, Prepayment Premiums or Defeasance Provisions”.

 

“Due-On-Sale” and “Due-On-Encumbrance” Provisions

 

The Mortgage Loans generally contain “due-on-sale” and “due-on-encumbrance” clauses, which in each case permits the holder of the Mortgage Loan to accelerate the maturity of the related Mortgage Loan if the related borrower sells or otherwise transfers or encumbers (subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Mortgage Loan documents) the related Mortgaged Property or a controlling interest in the borrower without the consent of the mortgagee (which, in some cases, may not be unreasonably withheld). Many of the Mortgage Loans place certain restrictions (subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Mortgage Loan documents) on the transfer and/or pledging of general partnership and managing member equity interests in a borrower such as specific percentage or control limitations. The terms of the mortgages generally permit, subject to certain limitations, affiliate, estate planning and family transfers, transfers at death, transfers of interest in a public company, the transfer or pledge of less than, or other than, a controlling portion of the partnership, members’ or other equity interests in a borrower, the transfer or pledge of passive equity interests in a borrower (such as limited partnership interests and non-managing member interests in a limited liability company) and transfers to persons specified in or satisfying qualification criteria set forth in the related Mortgage Loan documents. Certain of the Mortgage Loans do not restrict the pledging of direct or indirect ownership interests in the related borrower, but do restrict the transfer of ownership interests in the related borrower by imposing a specific percentage, a control limitation or requiring the consent of the mortgagee to any such transfer. Generally, the Mortgage Loans do not prohibit transfers of non-controlling interests so long as no change of control results or, with respect to Mortgage Loans to tenant-in-common borrowers, transfers to new tenant-in-common borrowers. Certain of the Mortgage Loans do not prohibit the pledge by direct or indirect owners of the related borrower of equity distributions that may be made from time to time by the borrower to its equity owners.

 

 223

 

 

Additionally, certain of the Mortgage Loans provide that transfers of the Mortgaged Property are permitted if certain conditions are satisfied, which may include one or more of the following:

 

no event of default has occurred;

 

the proposed transferee is creditworthy and has sufficient experience in the ownership and management of properties similar to the Mortgaged Property;

 

a Rating Agency Confirmation has been obtained from each of the Rating Agencies;

 

the transferee has executed and delivered an assumption agreement evidencing its agreement to abide by the terms of the Mortgage Loan together with legal opinions and title insurance endorsements; and

 

the assumption fee has been received (which assumption fee will be paid as described under “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Servicing and Other Compensation and Payment of Expenses”, but will in no event be paid to the Certificateholders); however, certain of the Mortgage Loans allow the borrower to sell or otherwise transfer the related Mortgaged Property a limited number of times without paying an assumption fee.

 

Transfers resulting from the foreclosure of a pledge of the collateral for a mezzanine loan (if any) or other permitted pledge of equity in a borrower will also result in a permitted transfer. See “—Additional Indebtedness” below.

 

With respect to the Mortgage Loan secured by the Mortgaged Property identified on Annex A-1 as Marriott Grand Cayman, representing approximately 2.8% of the Initial Pool Balance, Cayman Islands law provides that no transfer is permitted without the consent of the holder of a mortgage loan. Accordingly, a master servicer or special servicer may have the right to accelerate the maturity of a mortgage loan that contains a “due-on-sale” provision upon transfer of an interest in the property, without regard to the master servicer’s or special servicer’s ability to demonstrate that a sale threatens its legitimate security interest.

 

Defeasance

 

The terms of forty-four (44) of the Mortgage Loans (the “Defeasance Loans”), representing approximately 86.7% of the Initial Pool Balance, permit the applicable borrower at any time (provided that no event of default exists) after a specified period (the “Defeasance Lock-Out Period”) to obtain a release of a Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage (a “Defeasance Option”) in connection with a defeasance. With respect to all of the Defeasance Loans, the Defeasance Lock-Out Period ends at least two years after the Closing Date.

 

Exercise of a Defeasance Option is also generally conditioned on, among other things, (a) the borrower providing the mortgagee with at least 30 days prior written notice of the date on which such defeasance will occur (such date, the “Release Date”), and (b) the borrower (A) paying on any Release Date (i) all accrued and unpaid interest on the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (or, the related Whole Loan) up to and including the Release Date, (ii) all other sums (excluding scheduled interest or principal payments due following the Release Date), due under the Mortgage Loan (or Whole Loan, if applicable) and under all other Mortgage Loan documents executed in connection with the Defeasance Option, (iii) an amount (the “Defeasance Deposit”) that will be sufficient to (x) purchase

 

 224

 

 

non-callable obligations of, or backed by the full faith and credit of, the United States of America or, in certain cases, other “government securities” (within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and otherwise satisfying REMIC requirements for defeasance collateral), that provide payments (1) on or prior to, but as close as possible to, all successive scheduled due dates occurring during the period from the Release Date to the related maturity date or Anticipated Repayment Date (or to the first day of the open period for such Mortgage Loan) (or Whole Loan, if applicable) and (2) in amounts equal to the scheduled payments due on such due dates under the Mortgage Loan (or Whole Loan, if applicable), or under the defeased portion of the Mortgage Loan (or Whole Loan, if applicable) in the case of a partial defeasance, including in the case of a Mortgage Loan with a balloon payment due at maturity or an Anticipated Repayment Date, the related balloon payment, and (y) pay any costs and expenses incurred in connection with the purchase of such government securities, and (B) delivering a security agreement granting the issuing entity a first priority lien on the Defeasance Deposit and, in certain cases, the government securities purchased with the Defeasance Deposit and an opinion of counsel to such effect. See “Risk Factors—Other Risks Relating to the Certificates—Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations May Assign Different Ratings to the Certificates; Ratings of the Certificates Reflect Only the Views of the Applicable Rating Agencies as of the Dates Such Ratings Were Issued; Ratings May Affect ERISA Eligibility; Ratings May Be Downgraded”.

 

For additional information on Mortgage Loans that permit partial defeasance, see “—Releases; Partial Releases” below.

 

In general, if consistent with the related Mortgage Loan documents, a successor borrower established, designated or approved by the master servicer will assume the obligations of the related borrower exercising a Defeasance Option and the borrower will be relieved of its obligations under the Mortgage Loan. If a Mortgage Loan (or Whole Loan, if applicable) is partially defeased, if consistent with the related Mortgage Loan documents, generally the related promissory note will be split and only the defeased portion of the borrower’s obligations will be transferred to the successor borrower.

 

Releases; Partial Releases

 

The Mortgage Loans described below permit the release of one or more of the Mortgaged Properties or a portion of a single Mortgaged Property in connection with a partial defeasance, a partial prepayment or a partial substitution, subject to the satisfaction of certain specified conditions, including the REMIC requirements. Additionally, certain Mortgage Loans permit the addition of real property to the Mortgage Loan collateral.

With respect to the Mortgage Loan secured by the portfolio of Mortgaged Properties identified on Annex A-1 as SNP Portfolio, representing approximately 1.2% of the Initial Pool Balance, if the AIG Building Mortgaged Property suffers a casualty or condemnation that prevents the continuance of the current office use at such Mortgaged Property, subject to the lender’s sole discretion, the borrower may obtain the release of the AIG Building Mortgaged Property, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including, among others: (i) payment of 125% of the allocated loan amount for such Mortgaged Property along with the allocable yield maintenance (but only if such release occurs prior to July 6, 2027) and (ii) the satisfaction of certain REMIC requirements.

 

Furthermore, some of the Mortgage Loans permit the release or substitution of specified parcels of real estate or improvements that secure the Mortgage Loans but were not assigned any material value or considered a source of any material cash flow for purposes of determining the related Appraised Value or Underwritten Net Cash Flow or considered material to the use or operation of the property, or permit the general right to release as yet unidentified parcels if they are non-income producing so long as such release does not materially adversely affect the use or value of the remaining property, among other things. Such real estate may be permitted to be released, subject to certain REMIC rules, without payment of a release price and consequent reduction of the principal balance of the subject Mortgage Loan or substitution of additional collateral if zoning and other conditions are satisfied. We cannot assure you that the development of a release parcel, even if approved by the special servicer as having no material adverse effect to the remaining property, may not for some period of time either disrupt operations or lessen the value of the remaining property.

 

For example, with respect to the Mortgage Loan secured by the Mortgaged Property identified on Annex A-1 as Hyatt Regency Princeton, representing approximately 2.0% of the Initial Pool Balance, the borrower is permitted to obtain at any time on or after July 6, 2020 the release of an approximately 3.98-acre non-income producing parcel (which parcel was assigned no value in the underwriting) provided that, among other conditions, immediately after giving effect to such release, (a) the loan-to-value ratio for the remaining Mortgaged Property is no greater than the lesser of (x) 63.5% and (y) the loan-to-value ratio immediately preceding release and (b) the debt yield is equal to or greater than 12%.

Escrows

 

Thirty-eight (38) of the Mortgage Loans, representing approximately 74.7% of the Initial Pool Balance, provide for monthly or upfront escrows to cover property taxes on the Mortgaged Properties.

 

Thirty-six (36) of the Mortgage Loans, representing approximately 69.7% of the Initial Pool Balance, provide for monthly or upfront escrows to cover insurance premiums on the Mortgaged Properties.

 

 230

 

 

Thirty-three (33) of the Mortgage Loans, representing approximately 59.5% of the Initial Pool Balance, provide for monthly or upfront escrows to cover ongoing replacements and capital repairs.

 

Four (4) of the Mortgage Loans, representing approximately 9.2% of the Initial Pool Balance, provide for monthly or upfront escrows to cover planned capital expenditures or franchise-mandated property improvement plans.

 

Twenty-four (24) of the Mortgage Loans, representing approximately 66.1% of the Initial Pool Balance, are secured in whole or in part by office, retail, industrial and mixed use properties, provide for upfront or monthly escrows (or credit) for the full term or a portion of the term of the related Mortgage Loan to cover anticipated re-leasing costs, including tenant improvements and leasing commissions or other lease termination or occupancy issues. Such escrows are typically considered for office, retail, industrial and mixed use properties only.

 

Certain of the Mortgage Loans described above permit the related borrower to post a letter of credit or guaranty in lieu of maintaining cash reserves. In addition, in certain cases, the related borrower may not be required to maintain the escrows described above until the occurrence of a specified trigger.

 

Many of the Mortgage Loans provide for other escrows and reserves, including, in certain cases, reserves for debt service, operating expenses, vacancies at the related Mortgaged Property and other shortfalls or reserves to be released under circumstances described in the related Mortgage Loan documents.

 

See the footnotes to Annex A-1 for more information regarding escrows under the Mortgage Loan documents.

The following is a description of the types of cash management provisions to which the borrowers under the Mortgage Loans are subject:

 

Hard/In Place Cash Management. The related borrower is required to instruct the tenants and other payors (including any third party property managers) to pay all rents and other revenue directly to a lockbox account controlled by the applicable servicer on behalf of the issuing entity. Funds are then swept into a cash management account controlled by the applicable servicer on behalf of the issuing entity and then applied by the applicable servicer in accordance with the related

 

 231

 

 

 Mortgage Loan documents. This typically includes the payment of debt service and, in some cases, expenses at the related Mortgaged Property. Generally, excess funds may then be remitted to the related borrower.

 

Hard/Springing Cash Management. The related borrower is required to instruct the tenants and other payors (including any third party property managers) to pay all rents and other revenue directly to a lockbox account controlled by the applicable servicer on behalf of the issuing entity. Until the occurrence of a “trigger” event, which typically includes an event of default under the Mortgage Loan documents, such funds are forwarded to an account controlled by the related borrower or are otherwise made available to the related borrower. From and after the occurrence of such a “trigger” event, only the portion of such funds remaining after the payment of current debt service, the funding of reserves and, in some cases, expenses at the related Mortgaged Property are to be forwarded or otherwise made available to the related borrower or, in some cases, maintained in an account controlled by the servicer as additional collateral for the loan until the “trigger” event ends or terminates in accordance with the loan documentation.

 

Soft/In Place Cash Management. Revenue from the related Mortgaged Property is generally paid by the tenants and other payors to the related borrower or the property manager. The related borrower or property manager, as applicable, then forwards such funds to a lockbox account controlled by the applicable servicer on behalf of the issuing entity. Funds are then swept into a cash management account controlled by the applicable servicer on behalf of the issuing entity and applied by the servicer in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan documents. This typically includes the payment of debt service and, in some cases, expenses at the related Mortgaged Property. Generally, excess funds may then be remitted to the related borrower.

 

Soft/Springing Cash Management. Revenue from the related Mortgaged Property is generally paid by the tenants and other payors (including any third party property managers) to the related borrower or the property manager. The related borrower or property manager, as applicable, then forwards such funds to a lockbox account controlled by the applicable servicer on behalf of the issuing entity. Until the occurrence of a “trigger” event, which typically includes an event of default under the Mortgage Loan documents, such funds are forwarded to an account controlled by the related borrower or are otherwise made available to the related borrower. In some cases, upon the occurrence of such a “trigger” event, the Mortgage Loan documents will require the related borrower to instruct tenants and/or other payors to pay directly into an account controlled by the applicable servicer on behalf of the issuing entity. All funds held in such lockbox account controlled by the applicable servicer following such “trigger” event will be applied by the applicable servicer in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan documents. From and after the occurrence of such a trigger event, only the portion of such funds remaining after the payment of current debt service and, in some cases, expenses at the related Mortgaged Property are to be forwarded or otherwise made available to the related borrower.

 

Springing. A lockbox account is established at origination or upon the occurrence of certain “trigger” events. Revenue from the related Mortgaged Property is generally paid by the tenants and other payors to the related borrower or property manager. The Mortgage Loan documents provide that, upon the occurrence of a “trigger” event, which typically includes an event of default under the Mortgage Loan documents, the related borrower would be required to instruct tenants to pay

 

 232

 

 

 directly into such lockbox account or, if tenants are directed to pay to the related borrower or the property manager, the related borrower or property manager, as applicable, would then forward such funds to a lockbox account controlled by the applicable servicer on behalf of the issuing entity. Funds are then swept into a cash management account controlled by the servicer on behalf of the issuing entity and applied by the servicer in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan documents. This typically includes the payment of debt service and, in some cases, expenses at the related Mortgaged Property. Excess funds may then be remitted to the related borrower.

 

None. Revenue from the related Mortgaged Property is paid to the related borrower and is not subject to a lockbox account as of the Closing Date, and no lockbox account is required to be established during the term of the related Mortgage Loan.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with any hard lockbox cash management, income deposited directly into the related lockbox account may not include amounts paid in cash and/or checks that are paid directly to the related property manager, notwithstanding requirements to the contrary. Furthermore, with respect to certain multifamily and hospitality properties considered to have a hard lockbox, cash, checks and “over-the-counter” receipts may be deposited into the lockbox account by the property manager and, in some cases, such deposit may be net of fees payable to and reserves maintained by the property manager. Mortgage Loans whose terms call for the establishment of a lockbox account require that the amounts paid to the property manager will be deposited into the applicable lockbox account on a regular basis. Lockbox accounts will not be assets of the issuing entity. See the footnotes to Annex A-1 for more information regarding lockbox provisions for the Mortgage Loans.

 

Exceptions to Underwriting Guidelines

 

None of the Mortgage Loans were originated with material exceptions to the related mortgage loan seller’s underwriting guidelines. See “Transaction PartiesThe Sponsors and Mortgage Loan Sellers—UBS AG, New York Branch—UBS AG, New York Branch’s Underwriting Standards”; “—Cantor Commercial Real Estate Lending, L.P.—CCRE Lending’s Underwriting Standards”; “—Ladder Capital Finance LLC—Ladder Capital Group’s Underwriting Guidelines and Processes”; “—Natixis Real Estate Capital LLC—NREC’s Underwriting Standards”; “—Société Générale—Société Générale’s Underwriting Standards”; and”—Rialto Mortgage Finance, LLC—Rialto Mortgage’s Underwriting Standards and Loan Analysis”.

 

Additional Indebtedness

 

General

 

The Mortgage Loans generally prohibit borrowers from incurring any additional debt secured by their Mortgaged Property without the consent of the lender. However:

 

substantially all of the Mortgage Loans permit the related borrower to incur limited indebtedness in the ordinary course of business that is not secured by the related Mortgaged Property;

 

the borrowers under certain of the Mortgage Loans have incurred and/or may incur in the future unsecured debt other than in the ordinary course of business;

 

 233

 

 

any borrower that is not required pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents to meet single purpose entity criteria may not be restricted from incurring unsecured debt or mezzanine debt;

 

the terms of certain Mortgage Loans permit the borrowers to post letters of credit and/or surety bonds for the benefit of the mortgagee under the Mortgage Loans, which may constitute a contingent reimbursement obligation of the related borrower or an affiliate. The issuing bank or surety will not typically agree to subordination and standstill protection benefiting the mortgagee;

 

although the Mortgage Loans generally place certain restrictions on incurring mezzanine debt by the pledging of general partnership and managing member equity interests in a borrower, such as specific percentage or control limitations, the terms of the Mortgage Loan documents generally permit, subject to certain limitations, the pledge of the limited partnership or non-managing membership equity interests in a borrower or less than a controlling interest of any other equity interests in a borrower; and

 

certain of the Mortgage Loans do not restrict the pledging of ownership interests in the borrower, but do restrict the transfer of ownership interests in a borrower by imposing limitations on transfer of control or a specific percentage of ownership interests.

 

Whole Loans

 

Certain Mortgage Loans are subject to the rights of a related Companion Loan holder, as further described in “—The Whole Loans” below.

 

Mezzanine Indebtedness

 

Although the Mortgage Loans generally place certain restrictions on incurring mezzanine debt by the pledging of general partnership and managing member equity interests in a borrower, such as specific percentage or control limitations, the terms of the Mortgage Loan documents generally permit, subject to certain limitations, the pledge of less than a controlling portion of the equity interests in a borrower or the pledge of limited partnership or non-managing membership equity interests in a borrower. Certain Mortgage Loans described below permit the incurrence of mezzanine debt subject to satisfaction of certain conditions including a certain maximum combined loan-to-value ratio and/or a minimum combined debt service coverage ratio. Also, certain of the Mortgage Loans do not restrict the pledging of ownership interests in the related borrower, but do restrict the transfer of ownership interests in a borrower by imposing limitations on transfer of control or a specific percentage of ownership interests. In addition, in general, a borrower (or its direct or indirect owners) that does not meet single-purpose entity criteria may not be restricted in any way from incurring mezzanine debt.

(2)Includes a senior mezzanine loan in the amount of $105,000,000 and a junior mezzanine loan in the amount of $45,000,000 related to the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Mortgage Loan.

 

In each case, the mezzanine indebtedness is coterminous with the related Mortgage Loan.

 

The mezzanine loans related to the Mortgage Loan identified in the table above secured by the Mortgaged Property identified on Annex A-1 as Yorkshire & Lexington Towers, Centre 425 Bellevue, 237 Park Avenue, DoubleTree Wilmington and IGT Reno, collectively representing approximately 19.4% of the Initial Pool Balance, are each subject to an intercreditor agreement between the holder of the related mezzanine loan and the lender under the related Mortgage Loan that sets forth the relative priorities between the related Mortgage Loan and the related mezzanine loan. Each related intercreditor agreement provides, among other things, generally that (a) all payments due under the related mezzanine loan are subordinate after receipt by the related mezzanine lender of notice of an event of default under the related Mortgage Loan (taking into account the cure rights of the related mezzanine lender) to any and all payments required to be made under the related Mortgage Loan (except for any payments from funds other than the related Mortgaged Property or proceeds of any enforcement upon the mezzanine loan collateral and any mezzanine loan guarantees), (b) so long as there is no event of default (or, in the case of the Mortgage Loan identified on Annex A-1 as DoubleTree Wilmington, the related mezzanine lender has not received notice of an event of default) under the related Mortgage Loan (taking into account the cure rights of the related mezzanine lender), the related mezzanine lender may accept payments on and, in certain cases, permitted prepayments or cure payments of the related mezzanine loan prior to the payment in full of the Mortgage Loan, (c) the related mezzanine lender will have certain rights to receive notice of and cure defaults under the related Mortgage Loan prior to any acceleration or enforcement of the related Mortgage Loan, (d) the related mezzanine lender may amend or modify the related mezzanine loan in certain respects without the consent of the related Mortgage Loan lender, and the Mortgage Loan lender must obtain the mezzanine lender’s consent to amend or modify the related Mortgage Loan in certain respects, (e) upon the occurrence of an event of default under the related mezzanine loan documents, the related mezzanine lender may foreclose upon the membership interests in the related Mortgage Loan borrower, which could result in a change of control with respect to the related Mortgage Loan borrower and a change in the management of the related Mortgaged Property, and (f) if the related Mortgage Loan is accelerated or, in some cases, becomes specially serviced or if the related Mortgage Loan borrower becomes a debtor in a bankruptcy or if an event of default occurs under the Mortgage Loan documents and the Mortgage Loan lender notifies the Mortgage

 

 235

 

 

Loan borrower of its intention to exercise (or, in some cases, actually exercises) its remedies against the real property collateral for the related Mortgage Loan the related mezzanine lender has the right to purchase the related Mortgage Loan, in whole but not in part, for a price generally equal to the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts due thereon, plus any unreimbursed servicing advances made by the related Mortgage Loan lender or its servicer and any interest thereon, and interest on any principal and interest advances made by the Mortgage Loan lender or its servicer, plus, subject to certain limitations, any Liquidation Fees and Special Servicing Fees payable under the PSA (net of certain amounts and subject to certain other limitations, each as specified in the related intercreditor agreement), and generally excluding any late charges, default interest, exit fees, spread maintenance charges payable in connection with a prepayment or yield maintenance charges and prepayment premiums. In addition, in the case of the Mortgage Loan secured by the Mortgaged Property identified on Annex A-1 as DoubleTree Wilmington, representing approximately 3.2% of the Initial Pool Balance, LCF or an affiliate is the related mezzanine lender; and pursuant to the related mezzanine intercreditor agreement, if LCF or another affiliate of Ladder Capital Finance Holdings LLLP forecloses on the equity in the related mortgage borrower, the form of non-recourse carveout guaranty from the replacement non-recourse carveout guarantor will not cover environmental matters and there will be additional permitted transfers and encumbrances not otherwise allowed under the related loan documents as of the Cut-off Date.

 

The Mortgage Loans generally place certain restrictions on the transfer and/or pledging of general partnership and managing member equity interests in a borrower such as specific percentage or control limitations as described under “—Certain Terms of the Mortgage Loans—”“Due-On-Sale” and “Due-On-Encumbrance” Provisions” above. Certain of the Mortgage Loans do not prohibit the pledge by direct or indirect owners of the related borrower of equity distributions that may be made from time to time by the borrower to its equity owners.

 

 236

 

 

With respect to the Mortgage Loans listed in the following chart, the direct and indirect equity owners of the borrower are permitted to incur future mezzanine debt, subject to the satisfaction of conditions contained in the related Mortgage Loan documents, including, among other things, a combined maximum loan-to-value ratio, a combined minimum debt service coverage ratio and/or a combined minimum debt yield, as listed in the following chart and determined in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan documents:

(1)Indicates the maximum aggregate principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and the related mezzanine loan (if any) that is specifically stated in the Mortgage Loan documents and does not take account of any restrictions that may be imposed at any time by operation of any debt yield, debt service coverage ratio or loan-to-value ratio conditions.

 

(2)Debt service coverage ratios, loan-to-value ratios and debt yields are to be calculated in accordance with definitions set forth in the related Mortgage Loan documents. Except as otherwise noted in connection with a Mortgage Loan, the determination of the loan-to-value ratio must be, or may be required by the lender to be, based on a recent appraisal.

 

(3)Indicates whether the conditions to the financing include (a) delivery of, or the lender’s ability to request delivery of, Rating Agency Confirmation that the proposed financing will not, in and of itself, result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the then-current rating assigned to any class of certificates and/or (b) acceptability of any related intercreditor or mezzanine loan documents to the Rating Agencies.

 

(4)If the related borrower transfers the related Mortgaged Properties subject to the subject Mortgage Loan, and the transferee assumes the subject Mortgage Loan, in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan documents, then the holders of direct or indirect equity interests in the replacement borrower may obtain mezzanine financing, provided the conditions indicated above, among others, are satisfied.

 

(5)Prepayment of the existing mezzanine loan (subject to certain requirements in the related loan documents) is permitted in connection with a transfer of the related Mortgaged Property and an assumption of the related Mortgage Loan and, upon such prepayment, the lender may permit a new mezzanine loan subject to reasonable and customary conditions set forth in the related loan agreement, which includes a condition that, inclusive of the senior and any new replacement mezzanine loan, the Mortgaged Property must satisfy the conditions indicated above.

 

The specific rights of the related mezzanine lender with respect to any such future mezzanine loan will be specified in the related intercreditor agreement and may include cure rights and a default-related purchase option. The intercreditor agreement required to be entered into in connection with any future mezzanine loan will either be substantially in the form attached to the related loan agreement or be subject to receipt of a Rating Agency Confirmation or to the related lender’s approval. The direct and/or indirect owners of a borrower under a Mortgage Loan are also generally permitted to pledge their interest in such borrower as security for a mezzanine loan in circumstances where the ultimate transfer of such interest to the mezzanine lender would be a permitted transfer under the related Mortgage Loan documents.

 

Generally, upon a default under a mezzanine loan, subject to the terms of any applicable intercreditor or subordination agreement, the holder of the mezzanine loan would be

 

 237

 

 

entitled to foreclose upon the equity in the related borrower, which has been pledged to secure payment of such debt. Although this transfer of equity may not trigger the due-on-sale clause under the related Mortgage Loan, it could cause a change in control of the borrower and/or cause the obligor under the mezzanine loan to file for bankruptcy, which could negatively affect the operation of the related Mortgaged Property and the related borrower’s ability to make payments on the related Mortgage Loan in a timely manner.

 

Other Secured Indebtedness

 

With respect to the Mortgage Loan secured by the portfolio of Mortgaged Properties identified on Annex A-1 as National Office Portfolio, representing approximately 4.7% of the Initial Pool Balance, the related Mortgaged Properties had been collateral under a corporate facility that an affiliate of the related borrower has with Beal Bank USA, a Nevada thrift. In connection with the origination of such Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgaged Properties were released as collateral. However, the parent of the related borrower is obligated to submit any and all distributions received from the related borrower to Beal Bank USA, including periodic distributions and net proceeds of any sale or refinancing. Such distribution obligations are secured by a pledge of the equity in the related borrower. An intercreditor agreement exists between Beal Bank USA and the mortgage lender, which permits Beal Bank USA or another qualified transferee to foreclose on the equity in the borrower if the parent of the related borrower fails to submit to Beal Bank USA the distributions it receives from the related borrower or upon the occurrence of an event of default under the National Office Portfolio Whole Loan. Beal Bank USA has certain cure rights with respect to the subject Mortgage Loan and a purchase option with respect to each of the related Mortgaged Properties if the related National Office Portfolio Whole Loan is accelerated after an event of default or the mortgage lender receives written notice from the related borrower that the related borrower will no longer perform under the related National Office Portfolio Whole Loan. The current outstanding balance of the entire facility is equal to approximately $38,023,568,000 as of October 23, 2017.

 

With respect to the Mortgage Loan secured by the portfolio of Mortgaged Properties identified on Annex A-1 as Cabela’s Industrial Portfolio and Bass Pro & Cabela’s Portfolio, representing approximately 2.9% and 2.7%, respectively of the Initial Pool Balance, the related Mortgage Loan documents for each Mortgage Loan permit the pledge of ownership interests by a multi-asset person (which means a direct or indirect owner of the borrower that derives less than 25% of its aggregate gross income and less than 25% of its net worth from its direct or indirect interest in the property) to secure a corporate line of credit or corporate credit facility from an institutional lender provided no foreclosure or exercise of remedies of such pledge will be permitted unless it would independently not constitute a non-permitted transfer under the related Mortgage Loan documents.

 

Some of the Mortgage Loans permit certain affiliates of the related borrower to pledge their indirect ownership interests in the borrower including, but not limited to, pledges to an institutional lender providing a corporate line of credit or corporate credit facility as collateral for such corporate line of credit or corporate credit facility. In connection with those pledges, the Mortgage Loan documents for such Mortgage Loans may: (i) contain limitations on the amounts that such collateral may secure and prohibit foreclosure of such pledges unless such foreclosure would represent a transfer otherwise permitted under the Mortgage Loan documents but do not prohibit a change in control in the event of a permitted foreclosure; or (ii) require that such financing be secured by all or substantially all of the pledgor’s assets or by at least a certain number of assets other than such ownership interests in the related borrower.

 

 238

 

 

Preferred Equity

 

Because preferred equity often provides for a higher rate of return to be paid to the holders of such preferred equity, preferred equity in some respects functions like mezzanine indebtedness, and reduces a principal’s economic stake in the related Mortgaged Property, reduces cash flow on the borrower’s Mortgaged Property after the payment of debt service and payments on the preferred equity and may increase the likelihood that the owner of a borrower will permit the value or income-producing potential of a Mortgaged Property to fall and may create a risk that a borrower will default on the Mortgage Loan secured by a Mortgaged Property whose value or income is relatively weak.

 

With respect to the Mortgage Loan secured by the Mortgaged Property identified on Annex A-1 as 237 Park Avenue, representing approximately 3.4% of the Initial Pool Balance, the terms of the Mortgage Loan documents permit entering into a future preferred equity transaction in lieu of or together with incurring future mezzanine debt, subject to the same terms and conditions required in connection with incurring such future mezzanine debt.

 

Other Unsecured Indebtedness

 

The Mortgage Loans generally permit a pledge of the same direct and indirect ownership interests in any borrower as may be transferred without the lender’s consent. See “—Certain Terms of the Mortgage Loans—”Due-on-Sale” and “Due-on-Encumbrance” Provisions” above.

 

With respect to the Mortgage Loan secured by the Mortgaged Property identified on Annex A-1 as Hyatt Regency Princeton, representing approximately 2.0% of the Initial Pool Balance, the franchisor, Hyatt Franchising, L.L.C., provided a $2,750,000 loan (the “Franchisor Loan”) to a predecessor-in-interest to the borrower in 2011 (which loan was assigned to one of the borrowers) in connection with certain renovations at the Mortgaged Property. At origination, the Franchisor Loan had a then-outstanding principal balance of approximately $1,651,527. No payments are due under the Franchise Loan provided the franchise agreement is in full force and effect. The Franchisor Loan will amortize down to zero by its maturity date (July 6, 2026), which date is after the franchise agreement expiration date. The Mortgage Loan documents provide for recourse to the guarantor in connection with any breach of the borrowers’ obligations under the related franchise agreement.

 

With respect to the Mortgage Loan secured by the Mortgaged Property identified on Annex A-1 as The District, representing approximately 2.0% of the Initial Pool Balance, the borrower sponsors have made unsecured member loans to the borrower in the amount of $9,659,263, together with $4,087,202 of accrued interest, as of July 31, 2017. Payments of interest on the member loans are only required if there is excess cash flow from the Mortgaged Property, and the member loans do not have a set maturity date. A subordination and standstill agreement is in place between the borrower sponsors and the lender and no additional member loans will be permitted during the term of the Mortgage Loan. If any member holding a member loan were to sell its equity interest, such member cannot continue to be a creditor of the borrower.

The Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loans

 

The Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loans will be serviced pursuant to the PSA in accordance with the terms of the PSA and the related Intercreditor Agreement. None of the master servicer, the special servicer or the trustee will be required to make a monthly payment advance on any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, but the master servicer or the trustee, as applicable, will be required to (and the special servicer, at its option in emergency situations, may) make Servicing Advances on the Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loans unless such advancing party (or, even if it is not the advancing party, the special servicer) determines that such a Servicing Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance.

 

Each Servicing Shift Whole Loan will be serviced pursuant to the PSA (and, accordingly, will be a Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan) prior to the related Servicing Shift Securitization Date, after which such Whole Loan will be serviced pursuant to the Non-Serviced PSA (and, accordingly, will be a Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan). With respect to each Servicing Shift Whole Loan, the discussion under this section only applies to the period prior to the related Servicing Shift Securitization Date.

 

 250

 

 

Intercreditor Agreement

 

The Intercreditor Agreement related to each Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan provides that:

 

The promissory notes comprising such Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan (and consequently, the related Serviced Mortgage Loan and each related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) are of equal priority with each other and none of such promissory notes (or mortgage loans) will have priority or preference over any other such promissory note (or mortgage loan).

 

All payments, proceeds and other recoveries on the Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan will be applied to the promissory notes comprising such Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan on a pro rata and pari passu basis (subject, in each case, to (a) the allocation of certain amounts to escrows and reserves, certain repairs or restorations or payments to the applicable borrower required by the Mortgage Loan documents and (b) certain payment and reimbursement rights of the parties to the PSA, in accordance with the terms of the PSA).

 

The transfer of up to 49% of the beneficial interest of a promissory note comprising the Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan is generally permitted. The transfer of more than 49% of the beneficial interest of any such promissory note is generally prohibited unless (i) the transferee is a large institutional lender or investment fund (other than a related borrower or an affiliate thereof) that satisfies minimum net worth and/or experience requirements or certain securitization vehicles that satisfy certain ratings and other requirements or (ii)(a) each non-transferring holder has consented to such transfer (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld), and (b) if any such non-transferring holder’s interest in the related Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan is held in a securitization, a rating agency communication is provided to each applicable rating agency (or, in certain cases, a rating agency confirmation is obtained from each applicable rating agency). The foregoing restrictions do not apply to a sale of the related Serviced Mortgage Loan together with the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loans in accordance with the terms of the PSA.

 

With respect to each Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan, certain fees, costs and expenses (such as a pro rata share of a Servicing Advance) allocable to a related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan may be paid or reimbursed out of payments and other collections on the Mortgage Pool, subject to the Trust’s right to reimbursement from future payments and other collections on such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan or from general collections with respect to any securitization of such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan.

 

Control Rights with respect to Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loans Other Than The Servicing Shift Whole Loans

 

With respect to any Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan (other than a Servicing Shift Whole Loan), the related Control Note will be included in the Trust, and the Directing Certificateholder appointed by the Controlling Class will have certain consent rights (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event) and consultation rights (after the occurrence of a Control Termination Event, but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event) with respect to such Whole Loan as described under “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—The Directing Certificateholder”.

 

 251

 

 

Control Rights with respect to The Servicing Shift Whole Loans

 

With respect to a Servicing Shift Whole Loan prior to the applicable Servicing Shift Securitization Date, the related Control Note will be held as of the Closing Date by the Controlling Holder listed in the table titled “Whole Loan Control Notes and Non-Control Notes” above under “—General”. The related Controlling Holder will be entitled (i) to direct the servicing of such Whole Loan in a manner that is substantially similar to the rights of the Directing Certificateholder appointed by the Controlling Class under the PSA, (ii) to consent to certain servicing decisions in respect of such Whole Loan and actions set forth in a related asset status report and (iii) to replace the special servicer with respect to such Whole Loan with or without cause; provided that with respect to a Servicing Shift Whole Loan, in general, neither the related borrower nor an affiliate thereof will be entitled to exercise the rights of such “Controlling Holder” under the related Intercreditor Agreement.

 

Certain Rights of each Non-Controlling Holder

 

With respect to each Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan, the holder of any related Non-Control Note (or if such Non-Control Note has been securitized, the directing certificateholder (or equivalent party) with respect to such securitization or other designated party under the related pooling and servicing agreement) will be entitled to certain consultation rights described below; provided that, in general, neither the related borrower nor an affiliate thereof will be entitled to exercise the rights of a Non-Controlling Holder under the related Intercreditor Agreement with respect to such Non-Control Note. With respect to a Servicing Shift Whole Loan, one or more related Non-Control Notes will be included in the Trust, and the Directing Certificateholder appointed by the Controlling Class, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, or the operating advisor (consistent with the Operating Advisor Standard), following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, will be entitled to exercise the consultation rights described below.

 

The special servicer will be required (i) to provide to each Non-Controlling Holder or its representative copies of any notice, information and report that it is required to provide to the Directing Certificateholder with respect to the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report relating to such Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan or any proposed action to be taken in respect of a Major Decision with respect to such Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan (for this purpose, without regard to whether such items are actually required to be provided to the Directing Certificateholder due to the occurrence of a Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event) and (ii) to use reasonable efforts to consult each Non-Controlling Holder or its representative on a strictly non-binding basis (to the extent such party requests consultation after having received the aforementioned notices, information and reports) with respect to any such recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report by the special servicer or any proposed action to be taken by the special servicer in respect of such Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan that constitutes a Major Decision.

 

Such consultation right will expire ten (10) business days after the delivery to such Non-Controlling Holder of written notice of a proposed action (together with copies of the notices, information and reports required to be delivered thereto) (unless the special servicer proposes a new course of action that is materially different from the action previously proposed, in which case such ten (10) business day period will be deemed to begin anew). In no event will the special servicer be obligated to follow or take any alternative actions recommended by any Non-Controlling Holder (or its representative). In addition, if the special servicer determines that immediate action is necessary to protect the interests of the holders of the promissory notes comprising a Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan, it may take, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, any action constituting a

 

 252

 

 

Major Decision with respect to such Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan or any action set forth in any applicable Asset Status Report before the expiration of the aforementioned ten (10) business day period.

 

In addition to the aforementioned consultation right, each Non-Controlling Holder will have the right to annual meetings (which may be held telephonically) with the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, upon reasonable notice and at times reasonably acceptable to the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, in which servicing issues related to the related Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan are discussed.

 

If a Servicer Termination Event has occurred with respect to the special servicer that affects a Non-Controlling Holder, such holder will have the right to direct the trustee to terminate the special servicer under the PSA solely with respect to the related Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan, other than with respect to any rights such special servicer may have as a Certificateholder, entitlements to amounts payable to such special servicer at the time of termination, entitlements to indemnification amounts and any other entitlements of the terminated party that survive the termination.

 

Sale of Defaulted Mortgage Loan

 

If any Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan becomes a Defaulted Loan, and if the special servicer decides to sell the related Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan, such special servicer will be required to sell such Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan and each related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan together as interests evidencing one whole loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such special servicer will not be permitted to sell a Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan without the consent of each Non-Controlling Holder unless it has delivered to such holder (a) at least fifteen (15) business days prior written notice of any decision to attempt to sell the related Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan, (b) at least ten (10) days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of each bid package (together with any amendments to such bid packages) received by such special servicer in connection with any such proposed sale, a copy of the most recent appraisal and certain other supplementary documents (if requested by such holder), and (c) until the sale is completed, and a reasonable period of time (but no less time than is afforded to other offerors and the Directing Certificateholder) prior to the proposed sale date, all information and documents being provided to offerors or otherwise approved by the master servicer or special servicer in connection with the proposed sale.

 

The Serviced AB Whole Loans

 

Each of the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Whole Loan and the Centre 425 Bellevue Whole Loan will be serviced pursuant to the PSA (and, accordingly, will be a Serviced AB Whole Loan) prior to the Servicing Shift Securitization Date, after which such Whole Loan will be serviced pursuant to the Non-Serviced PSA (and, accordingly, will be a Non-Serviced AB Whole Loan).

 

Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Whole Loan

 

General

 

The Mortgage Loan secured by the Mortgaged Properties identified on Annex A-1 as Yorkshire & Lexington Towers, representing approximately 5.4% of the Initial Pool Balance, with a Cut-off Date Balance of $40,000,000 (the “Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Mortgage Loan”), is part of a whole loan comprised of ten promissory notes, each of which is secured by the same mortgage instrument on the same underlying Mortgaged Properties (the “Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Mortgaged Properties”). The Yorkshire & Lexington Towers

 

 253

 

 

Mortgage Loan is evidenced by promissory Note A-4. The portion of the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Whole Loan (as defined below) evidenced by (i) promissory note A-1, with an original principal balance of $40,000,000 (the “Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Lead Pari Passu Companion Loan”), (ii) promissory Notes A-2, A-3, A-5, A-6, A-7, A-8-1 and A-8-2, with an aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of $120,000,000 (the “Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Non-Lead Pari Passu Companion Loans”) and together with the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Lead Pari Passu Companion Loan (the “Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Pari Passu Companion Loans”), which are currently held by UBS AG, New York Branch and Natixis Real Estate Capital LLC and are pari passu in right of payment with the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Mortgage Loan. Each of the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Pari Passu Companion Loans are expected to be contributed to one or more future securitization trusts. The portion of the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Whole Loan (as defined below) evidenced by promissory Note B, with a Cut-off Date Balance of $200,000,000, which is currently held by Natixis Real Estate Capital LLC is referred to in this prospectus as the “Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Subordinate Companion Loan” and is subordinate in right of payment with the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Mortgage Loan and the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Pari Passu Companion Loans. The Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Mortgage Loan and the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Pari Passu Companion Loans are collectively referred to in this prospectus as the “Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Senior Loan” and the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Senior Loan, together with the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Subordinate Companion Loan, are collectively referred to in this prospectus as the “Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Whole Loan”. The Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Pari Passu Companion Loans and the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Subordinate Companion Loan will not be transferred to the issuing entity and will not be part of the Mortgage Pool.

 

The holders of the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Whole Loan (the “Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Noteholders”) have entered into a co-lender agreement that sets forth the respective rights of each Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Noteholder (the “Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Intercreditor Agreement”).

 

Servicing

 

Prior to the date that the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Lead Pari Passu Companion Loan is included in a securitization trust (the “Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Lead Pari Passu Companion Loan Securitization Date”), the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Whole Loan will be serviced pursuant to the pooling and servicing agreement and the terms of the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Intercreditor Agreement.

 

After the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Lead Pari Passu Companion Loan Securitization Date, the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Whole Loan will be serviced pursuant to the pooling and servicing agreement entered into in connection with the securitization of the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Lead Pari Passu Companion Loan and the terms of the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Intercreditor Agreement.

In servicing the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Whole Loan, the servicing standard set forth in the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Pooling and Servicing agreement will require the applicable master servicer and the applicable special servicer to take into account the interests, as a collective whole, of the certificateholders as the holder of the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Mortgage Loan, the holders of the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Pari Passu Companion Loans and the holders of the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Subordinate Companion Loan (taking into

Furthermore, subject to certain conditions set forth in the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Intercreditor Agreement, the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Subordinate Companion Noteholder will have the right to cure certain defaults by the related borrower, as more fully described below.

The Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Whole Loan Directing Holder

 

Pursuant to the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Intercreditor Agreement, the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Whole Loan Directing Holder with respect to the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Whole Loan, as of any date of determination, will be:

 

the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Controlling Subordinate Companion Noteholder, unless a Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Control Appraisal Period has occurred and is continuing; and

 

the issuing entity or its designee if a Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Control Appraisal Period has occurred and is continuing.

 

After the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Lead Pari Passu Companion Loan Securitization Date at any time the holder of the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Lead Pari Passu Companion Loan is the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Whole Loan Directing Holder, the rights of the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Directing Holder may be exercised by the holders of the majority of the class of securities designated as the “controlling class,” to the extent provided in the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

A “Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Control Appraisal Period” will mean a period that exists with respect to the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Subordinate Companion Loan, if and for so long as: (a)(i) the initial unpaid principal balance of the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Subordinate Companion Loan minus (ii) the sum (without duplication) of (x) any payments of principal (whether as principal prepayments or otherwise) allocated to, and received on, the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Subordinate Companion Loan, (y) any Appraisal Reduction Amount for the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Whole Loan that is allocated to the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Subordinate Companion Loan and (z) any losses realized with respect to the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Mortgaged Properties or the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Whole Loan that are allocated to the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Subordinate Companion Loan, is less than (b) 25% of the of the remainder of the (i) initial unpaid principal balance of the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Subordinate Companion Loan less (ii) any payments of principal (whether as principal prepayments or otherwise) allocated to, and received by, the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Subordinate Companion Noteholders.

 

The Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Controlling Subordinate Companion Noteholders are entitled to avoid its applicable Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Control Appraisal Period caused by the application of an Appraisal Reduction Amount (as opposed to a Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Control Appraisal Period that is deemed to have occurred as a result of any borrower related party holding an interest in the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Subordinate Companion Loan or the existence of any circumstances that would otherwise permit any borrower related party to exercise the rights of the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Subordinate Companion Loan as Directing Holder) upon satisfaction of certain conditions, including without limitation, delivery of additional collateral in the form of either (x) cash collateral acceptable to the master servicer or the special servicer or (y) an unconditional and irrevocable standby letter of credit issued by a bank or other financial institution in a form acceptable to the master servicer or special servicer that meets the rating requirements as described in the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Intercreditor Agreement

 

 263

 

 

(either (x) or (y), the “Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Threshold Event Collateral”) in an amount that, when added to the appraised value of the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Mortgaged Properties as used to calculate any Appraisal Reduction Amount for the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Whole Loan pursuant to the PSA, would reduce such Appraisal Reduction Amount enough to cause the applicable Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Control Appraisal Period not to exist.

 

If the issuing entity is the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Whole Loan Directing Holder, then, unless a control termination period exists, the Directing Holder will be entitled to exercise the rights of the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Whole Loan Directing Holder with respect to the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Whole Loan. In its capacity as representative of the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Whole Loan Directing Holder under the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Intercreditor Agreement, the Directing Holder will be entitled to exercise all of the rights of the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Whole Loan Directing Holder under the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Intercreditor Agreement as well as the rights set forth under “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—The Directing Holder” in this prospectus with respect to the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Whole Loan unless a control termination event exists, and the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an asset status report with respect to the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Whole Loan will require the approval of the Controlling Class Representative as and to the extent described under “The Pooling and Servicing Agreement—The Directing Holder” and “—Asset Status Report” in this prospectus.

 

Neither the master servicer nor the special servicer will be obligated at any time to follow or take any alternative actions recommended by the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Pari Passu Companion Noteholders (or their representatives, including, if any Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Pari Passu Companion Loan has been contributed to a securitization, the related controlling class representative for that other securitization).

 

Cure Rights

 

In the event that the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers borrower fails to make any payment of a liquidated sum of money due on the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Whole Loan that results in a monetary event of default or the borrower otherwise defaults with respect to the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Whole Loan, the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Subordinate Companion Noteholder will have the right to cure such event of default subject to certain limitations set forth in the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Intercreditor Agreement. The Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Subordinate Companion Noteholder will be limited to, in the aggregate, six (6) cure payments over the life of the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Whole Loan, and, with respect to monetary events of default, no more than three (3) of which may be consecutive. So long as the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Subordinate Companion Noteholder is permitted to make a cure payment with respect to a non-monetary event of default, and is diligently prosecuting the cure of same, under the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Intercreditor Agreement, neither the master servicer nor the special servicer will be permitted to treat such event of default as such for purposes of transferring the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Whole Loan to special servicing or exercising remedies.

 

Purchase Option

 

If an event of default with respect to the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Whole Loan has occurred and is continuing, the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Subordinate Companion Noteholder will have the option to purchase the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Mortgage Loan and the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Pari Passu Companion Loans in whole but not in part at a price generally equal to the sum, without duplication, of (a) the principal balance of the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Mortgage Loan and the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers

 

 264

 

 

Pari Passu Companion Loans, (b) accrued and unpaid interest on the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Mortgage Loan and Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Pari Passu Companion Loans through the end of the related interest accrual period, (c) any other amounts due under the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Mortgage Loan, but excluding prepayment premiums, default interest, late fees, exit fees and any other similar fees, (d) without duplication of amounts under clause (c), any unreimbursed property protection or servicing Advances and any expenses incurred in enforcing the mortgage loan documents (including, without limitation, servicing Advances payable or reimbursable to any servicer, and earned and unreimbursed special servicing fees not in excess of the limitations set forth in the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Intercreditor Agreement), (e) without duplication of amounts under clause (c), any accrued and unpaid interest on Advances, (f) (i) if the borrower or borrower related party is the purchaser or (ii) if the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Whole Loan is not purchased within 90 days after such option first becomes exercisable pursuant to the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Intercreditor Agreement, and (g) certain additional amounts to the extent provided for in the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Intercreditor Agreement.

Subject to the terms of the PSA, each holder of a Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Pari Passu Companion Loan (or its representative), will be permitted to submit an offer at any sale of the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Mortgage Loan and the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Pari Passu Companion Loans (unless such person is the borrower or an agent or affiliate of the borrower).

Centre 425 Bellevue Whole Loan

 

General

 

The Mortgage Loan secured by the Mortgaged Property identified on Annex A-1 as Centre 425 Bellevue, representing approximately 5.4% of the Initial Pool Balance (the “Centre 425 Bellevue Mortgage Loan”), is part of the Centre 425 Bellevue Whole Loan (as defined below) comprised of three promissory notes, each of which is secured by the same mortgage instrument on the same underlying Mortgaged Property (the “Centre 425 Bellevue Mortgaged Property”).

 

The Centre 425 Bellevue Mortgage Loan is evidenced by a senior pari passu promissory note A-2 with a Cut-off Date Balance of $40,000,000. The related Pari Passu Companion Loan (the “Centre 425 Bellevue Pari Passu Companion Loan” and, together with the Centre 425 Bellevue Mortgage Loan, the “Centre 425 Bellevue Senior Loans”), has an original principal balance of $54,000,000. The Centre 425 Bellevue Mortgage Loan and the Centre 425 Bellevue Pari Passu Companion Loan are pari passu with each other in terms of priority. There is also one Subordinate Companion Loan (the “Centre 425 Bellevue Subordinate Companion Loan”), evidenced by the subordinate promissory note B with an original principal balance of $114,450,000. Neither of the Centre 425 Bellevue Subordinate Companion Loan or the Centre 425 Bellevue Pari Passu Companion Loan will be included in the issuing entity.

initially, the holder of the Centre 425 Bellevue Subordinate Companion Loan;

 

if a Centre 425 Bellevue Control Appraisal Period has occurred and is continuing, holder of the Centre 425 Bellevue Pari Passu Companion Loan

 

After the Centre 425 Bellevue Pari Passu Companion Loan Securitization Date at any time the holder of the Centre 425 Bellevue Pari Passu Companion Loan is the Centre 425 Bellevue Directing Holder, the rights of the Centre 425 Bellevue Directing Holder may be exercised by the holders of the majority of the class of securities designated as the

 

 270

 

 

“controlling class,” to the extent provided in the Centre 425 Bellevue Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

A “Centre 425 Bellevue Control Appraisal Period” will exist with respect to the Centre 425 Bellevue Whole Loan, if and for so long as: (1)(a)(i) the initial unpaid principal balance of the Centre 425 Bellevue Subordinate Companion Loan minus (ii) the sum (without duplication) of (x) any payments of principal (whether as principal prepayments or otherwise) allocated to, and received on, the Centre 425 Bellevue Subordinate Companion Loan, (y) any appraisal reduction amount for the Centre 425 Bellevue Whole Loan that is allocated to the Centre 425 Bellevue Subordinate Companion Loan and (z) any losses realized with respect to the Centre 425 Bellevue Mortgaged Property or the Centre 425 Bellevue Whole Loan that are allocated to the Centre 425 Bellevue Subordinate Companion Loan, plus (iii) the Centre 425 Bellevue Subordinate Companion Loan Threshold Event Collateral (as defined below), if any, is less than (b) 25% of the of the remainder of the (i) initial unpaid principal balance of the Centre 425 Bellevue Subordinate Companion Loan less (ii) any payments of principal (whether as principal prepayments or otherwise) allocated to, and received by, the Centre 425 Bellevue Subordinate Companion Loan Holder; or (2) any interest in the Centre 425 Bellevue Subordinate Companion Loan is held by the related borrower or a borrower party, or the related borrower or a borrower party would otherwise be entitled to exercise the rights of the Centre 425 Bellevue Subordinate Companion Loan Holder as the Centre 425 Bellevue Directing Holder.

 

At any time that the Centre 425 Bellevue Subordinate Companion Loan is not included in a securitization, the holder of the Centre 425 Bellevue Subordinate Companion Loan is entitled to avoid a Centre 425 Bellevue Control Appraisal Period caused by application of an appraisal reduction amount upon satisfaction of certain conditions, including without limitation: (i) delivery of additional collateral and in the form of either (x) cash collateral for the benefit of the holders of the Centre 425 Bellevue Mortgage Loan and the Centre 425 Bellevue Pari Passu Companion Loan and acceptable to, the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable or (y) an unconditional and irrevocable standby letter of credit issued by a bank or other financial institutions that meets the rating requirements as described in the Centre 425 Bellevue Intercreditor Agreement (either (x) or (y), the “Centre 425 Bellevue Subordinate Companion Loan Threshold Event Collateral”, and (ii) the Centre 425 Bellevue Subordinate Companion Loan Threshold Event Collateral is an amount which, when added to the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property as determined pursuant to the PSA, would cause the applicable Centre 425 Bellevue Control Appraisal Period not to exist.

 

Consultation and Control

 

The master servicer and special servicer will be required to notify the Centre 425 Bellevue Directing Holder (as defined above) (or its designee) and receive written consent with major decisions, as defined in the Centre 425 Bellevue Intercreditor Agreement (“Centre 425 Bellevue Major Decisions”).

 271

 

 

servicer’s or special servicer’s, as applicable, responsibilities under the Centre 425 Bellevue Intercreditor Agreement or the PSA.

 

In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Centre 425 Bellevue Intercreditor Agreement, after a Centre 425 Bellevue Control Appraisal Period (and for so long as such Centre 425 Bellevue Control Appraisal Period remains in effect), and following the Centre 425 Bellevue Pari Passu Companion Loan Securitization Date, (1) the holder of the Centre 425 Bellevue Pari Passu Companion Loan (or the special servicer acting on its behalf) will be required to provide to the holder of the Centre 425 Bellevue Mortgage Loan (i) notice, information and reports with respect to any Centre 425 Bellevue Major Decisions (similar to such notice, information and report it is required to deliver to the directing certificateholder under the securitization trust pursuant to the Centre 425 Bellevue Pooling and Servicing Agreement) without regard to whether a control termination event has occurred) and (ii) a summary of the asset status report relating to the Centre 425 Bellevue Whole Loan and (2) the holder of the Centre 425 Bellevue Pari Passu Companion Loan (or the special servicer acting on its behalf) will be required to consult with the holder of the Centre 425 Bellevue Mortgage Loan (or its representative) on a non-binding basis with respect to any such Centre 425 Bellevue Major Decision or the implementation of any recommended actions in the summary of the asset status report relating to the Centre 425 Bellevue Whole Loan, and consider alternative actions recommended by the holders of the Centre 425 Bellevue Mortgage Loan (or its representative); provided that after the expiration of a period of 10 business days from the delivery to the holder of the Centre 425 Bellevue Mortgage Loan (or its representative) by the holder of the Centre 425 Bellevue Pari Passu Companion Loan of written notice of a proposed action, together with copies of the notice, information and report required to be provided, the holder of the Centre 425 Bellevue Pari Passu Companion Loan (or the special servicer acting on its behalf) will no longer be obligated to consult with such holder of the Centre 425 Bellevue Mortgage Loan (or its representative), whether or not such holder of the Centre 425 Bellevue Mortgage Loan (or its representative) has responded within such 10 business day consultation period (unless, the holder of the Centre 425 Bellevue Pari Passu Companion Loan (or the master servicer or the special servicer acting on its behalf) proposes a new course of action that is materially different from the action previously proposed, in which case such 10 business day consultation period will be deemed to begin anew from the date of such proposal and delivery of all information relating to such proposal). Notwithstanding the consultation rights of the holder of the Centre 425 Bellevue Mortgage Loan (or its representative) described above, the holder of the Centre 425 Bellevue Pari Passu Companion Loan (or special servicer acting on its behalf) may make any Centre 425 Bellevue Major Decision or take any action set forth in the asset status report before the expiration of the 10 business day consultation period if the holder of the Centre 425 Bellevue Pari Passu Companion Loan (or special servicer, as applicable) determines that immediate action with respect thereto is necessary to protect the interests of the holders of the Centre 425 Bellevue Whole Loan. The holder of the Centre 425 Bellevue Pari Passu Companion Loan (or master servicer or special servicer, acting on its behalf) will not be obligated at any time to follow or take any alternative actions recommended by any of the holder of the Centre 425 Bellevue Mortgage Loan (or its representative).

 

Cure Rights

 

At any time that the Centre 425 Bellevue Subordinate Companion Loan is not included in a securitization, in the event that the related borrower fails to make any payment of principal or interest on the Centre 425 Bellevue Street Whole Loan that results in a monetary event of default or the related borrower otherwise defaults with respect to the Centre 425 Bellevue Street Whole Loan, the Centre 425 Bellevue Subordinate Companion Loan Holder will have the right to cure such event of default subject to certain limitations

 

 272

 

 

set forth in the Centre 425 Bellevue Street Intercreditor Agreement. The Centre 425 Bellevue Subordinate Companion Loan Holder will be limited to six (6) cures related to monetary defaults in a 12 month period and six (6) cures related to non-monetary defaults over the life of the Centre 425 Bellevue Street Whole Loan. So long as the holder of the Centre 425 Bellevue Subordinate Companion Loan is permitted to cure payment with respect to a non-monetary event of default, and is diligently and expeditiously prosecuting such cure, under the Centre 425 Bellevue Street Intercreditor Agreement, neither the master servicer nor the special servicer will be permitted to treat such event of default as such for purposes of transferring the Centre 425 Bellevue Street Whole Loan to special servicing or exercising remedies.

 

Purchase Option

 

At any time that the Centre 425 Bellevue Subordinate Companion Loan is not included in a securitization, if an event of default with respect to the Centre 425 Bellevue Whole Loan has occurred and is continuing, then, upon written notice from the Centre 425 Bellevue Subordinate Companion Loan Holder (“Note Holder Purchase Option Notice”), such holder will have the right to purchase the Centre 425 Bellevue Senior Loans for the purchase price provided in the Centre 425 Bellevue Intercreditor Agreement on a date (i) not more than ten (10) business days after providing written notice or (ii) not more than thirty (30) days after providing written notice if the purchasing noteholder deposits 10% of the purchase price with the respective holder or holders, as applicable, of the notes being purchased within ten (10) business days after written notice.

 

The right of the Centre 425 Bellevue Subordinate Companion Loan Holder to purchase the Centre 425 Bellevue Senior Loans, will automatically terminate upon a foreclosure sale, sale by power of sale or delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure with respect to the Centre 425 Bellevue Mortgaged Property (and special servicer is required to give the Centre 425 Bellevue Subordinate Companion Loan Holder fifteen (15) days’ notice of its intent with respect to any such action). Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if title to the Centre 425 Bellevue Mortgaged Property is transferred to the special servicer (or another nominee on behalf of the special servicer) less than fifteen (15) days after the acceleration of the Centre 425 Bellevue Whole Loan, the holders of the Centre 425 Bellevue Mortgage Loan and the Centre 425 Bellevue Pari Passu Companion Loan must notify the Centre 425 Bellevue Subordinate Companion Loan Holder of such transfer, and the Centre 425 Bellevue Subordinate Companion Loan Holder will have a fifteen (15) day period from the date of such notice to deliver a Note Holder Purchase Option Notice, in which case the Centre 425 Bellevue Subordinate Companion Loan Holder will be obligated to purchase the Centre 425 Bellevue Mortgaged Property, in immediately available funds, within a fifteen (15) day period at the applicable purchase price.

 

Sale of Defaulted Whole Loan

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Centre 425 Bellevue Intercreditor Agreement, if an event of default has occurred and is continuing, and if the special servicer determines to sell the Centre 425 Bellevue Mortgage Loan and the Centre 425 Bellevue Companion Loans, then the special servicer will have the right and obligation to sell the Centre 425 Bellevue Mortgage Loan together with the Centre 425 Bellevue Companion Loans as notes evidencing one whole loan in accordance with the terms of the Centre 425 Bellevue Intercreditor Agreement and the pooling and servicing agreement, subject to the applicable consent rights of the Centre 425 Bellevue Directing Holder. In connection with any such sale, the special servicer will be required to follow the procedures set forth in the Centre 425 Bellevue Intercreditor Agreement and the pooling and servicing agreement, including the provision that requires fifteen (15) business days’ prior written notice to the holder of the Centre 425

 

 273

 

 

Bellevue Subordinate Companion Loan of the special servicer’s intention to sell the Centre 425 Bellevue Whole Loan.

 

Special Servicer Appointment Rights

 

Pursuant to the Centre 425 Bellevue Intercreditor Agreement, the Centre 425 Bellevue Directing Holder (or its representative) will have the right, at any time, with or without cause, to replace the special servicer then acting with respect to the Centre 425 Bellevue Whole Loan and appoint a replacement special servicer in lieu thereof without the consent of the holders of the Centre 425 Bellevue Mortgage Loan, the Centre 425 Bellevue Pari Passu Companion Loan and the Centre 425 Bellevue Subordinate Companion Loan (or their representatives).

 

The Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loans

 

Each Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan will be serviced pursuant to the related Non-Serviced PSA in accordance with the terms of such Non-Serviced PSA and the related Intercreditor Agreement. No Non-Serviced Master Servicer, Non-Serviced Special Servicer or Non-Serviced Trustee will be required to make monthly payment advances on a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, but the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer or Non-Serviced Trustee, as applicable, will be required to (and the Non-Serviced Special Servicer, at its option in certain cases, may) make servicing advances on the related Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan in accordance with the terms of the related Non-Serviced PSA unless such advancing party (or, in certain cases, the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer, even if it is not the advancing party) determines that such a servicing advance would be a nonrecoverable advance. Monthly payment advances on each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan will be made by the master servicer or the trustee, as applicable, to the extent provided under the PSA. None of the master servicer, the special servicer or the trustee will be obligated to make servicing advances with respect to a Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan. See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans” for a description of the servicing terms of the Non-Serviced PSAs.

 

With respect to a Servicing Shift Whole Loan, the discussion under this “—The Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loans” section only applies to the period on or after the applicable Servicing Shift Securitization Date.

 

Intercreditor Agreement

 

The Intercreditor Agreement related to each Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan provides that:

 

The promissory notes comprising such Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan (and consequently, the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and each related Non-Serviced Companion Loan) are of equal priority with each other and none of such promissory notes (or mortgage loans) will have priority or preference over any other such promissory note (or mortgage loan).

 

All payments, proceeds and other recoveries on the Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan will be applied to the promissory notes comprising such Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan on a pro rata and pari passu basis (subject, in each case, to (a) the allocation of certain amounts to escrows and reserves, certain repairs or restorations or payments to the applicable borrower required by the Mortgage Loan documents and (b) certain payment and reimbursement rights of the parties to the related Non-Serviced PSA, in accordance with the terms of the related Non-Serviced PSA).

The transfer of up to 49% of the beneficial interest of a promissory note comprising the Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan is generally permitted. The transfer of more than 49% of the beneficial interest of any such promissory note is generally prohibited unless (i) the transferee is a large institutional lender or investment fund (other than a related borrower or an affiliate thereof) that satisfies minimum net worth and/or experience requirements or certain securitization vehicles that satisfy certain ratings and other requirements or (ii)(a) each non-transferring holder has consented to such transfer (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld), and (b) if any such non-transferring holder’s interest in the related Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan is held in a securitization, a rating agency communication is provided to each applicable rating agency (or, in certain cases, a rating agency confirmation is obtained from each applicable rating agency). The foregoing restrictions do not apply to a sale of the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan together with the related Non-Serviced Companion Loans in accordance with the terms of the related Non-Serviced PSA.

Control Rights

 

With respect to each Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan (other than Servicing Shift Whole Loans on or after the applicable Servicing Shift Securitization Date), the related Control Note will be held as of the Closing Date by the Controlling Holder listed in the table titled “Whole Loan Control Notes and Non-Control Notes” above under “—General”.

Certain Rights of each Non-Controlling Holder

 

With respect to any Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan, the holder of any related Non-Control Note (or if such Non-Control Note has been securitized, the directing certificateholder with respect to such securitization (or other designated party under the related pooling and servicing agreement)) will be entitled to certain consent and consultation rights described below; provided, that, in general, neither the related borrower nor an affiliate thereof will be entitled to exercise the rights of a Non-Controlling Holder with respect to such Non-Control Note under the related Intercreditor Agreement. With respect to each Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan (including a Servicing Shift Whole Loan after the applicable Servicing Shift Securitization Date), one or more related Non-Control Notes will be included in the Trust, and the Directing Certificateholder, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, or the operating advisor (consistent with the Servicing Standard), following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, will be entitled to exercise the consent or consultation rights described below.

With respect to any Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan, the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer or Non-Serviced Master Servicer, as applicable pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement, will be required (i) to provide to each Non-Controlling Holder or its representative copies of any notice, information and report that it is required to provide to the related Non-Serviced Directing Certificateholder under the related Non-Serviced PSA with respect to the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an asset status report relating to the related Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan or any proposed action to be taken in respect of a major decision under the related Non-Serviced PSA with respect to such Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan (for this purpose, without regard to whether such items are actually required to be provided to the related Non-Serviced Directing Certificateholder due to the occurrence and continuance of a “control termination event” or a “consultation termination event” (or analogous concepts) under such Non-Serviced PSA) and (ii) to consult (or to use reasonable efforts to consult) each Non-Controlling Holder or its representative on a strictly non-binding basis (to the extent such party requests consultation after having received the aforementioned notices, information and reports) with respect to any such recommended actions outlined in an asset status report by such Non-Serviced Special Servicer or any proposed action to be taken by such Non-Serviced Special Servicer or Non-Serviced Master Servicer, as applicable, in respect of the applicable major decision.

 

Such consultation right will generally expire ten (10) business days after the delivery to such Non-Controlling Holder of written notice of a proposed action (together with copies of the notices, information and reports required to be delivered thereto), whether or not such Non-Controlling Holder has responded within such period (unless the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer or Non-Serviced Master Servicer, as applicable, proposes a new course of action that is materially different from the action previously proposed, in which case such ten (10) business day period will be deemed to begin anew). In no event will the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer or Non-Serviced Master Servicer, as applicable, be obligated to follow or take any alternative actions recommended by any Non-Controlling Holder (or its representative).

 

If the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer or Non-Serviced Master Servicer, as applicable, determines that immediate action is necessary to protect the interests of the holders of the promissory notes comprising a Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan, it may take, in accordance with the servicing standard under the Non-Serviced PSA, any action constituting a major decision with respect to such Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan or any action set forth in any applicable asset status report before the expiration of the aforementioned typical ten (10) business day period.

 

In addition to the aforementioned consultation right, each Non-Controlling Holder will have the right to annual meetings (which may be held telephonically) with the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer or the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as applicable, upon reasonable notice and at times reasonably acceptable to such Non-Serviced Master Servicer or Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as applicable, in which servicing issues related to the related Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan are discussed.

 

If a special servicer termination event under the related Non-Serviced PSA has occurred that affects a Non-Controlling Holder, such holder will have the right to direct the related Non-Serviced Trustee to terminate the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer under such Non-Serviced PSA solely with respect to the related Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan, other than with respect to any rights such Non-Serviced Special Servicer may have as a certificateholder under such Non-Serviced PSA, entitlements to amounts payable to such Non-Serviced Special Servicer at the time of termination, entitlements to indemnification amounts and any other entitlements of the terminated party that survive the termination.

The Non-Serviced Custodian is the custodian of the mortgage file related to the related Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan (other than any promissory notes not contributed to the related Non-Serviced Securitization Trust).

 

Sale of Defaulted Mortgage Loan

 

If any Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan becomes a defaulted mortgage loan, and if the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer decides to sell the related Control Note contributed to the Non-Serviced Securitization Trust, such Non-Serviced Special Servicer will be required to sell the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and each Non-Serviced Companion Loan together as interests evidencing one whole loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer will not be permitted to sell a Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan without the consent of each Non-Controlling Holder unless it has delivered to such holder (a) at least fifteen (15) business days prior written notice of any decision to attempt to sell the related Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan, (b) at least ten (10) days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of each bid package (together with any amendments to such bid packages) received by the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer in connection with any such proposed sale, a copy of the most recent appraisal and certain other supplementary documents (if requested by such holder), and (c) until the sale is completed, and a reasonable period of time (but no less time than is afforded to other offerors and the applicable Non-Serviced Directing Certificateholder under the related Non-Serviced PSA) prior to the proposed sale date, all information and documents being provided to offerors or otherwise approved by the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer or Non-Serviced Special Servicer in connection with the proposed sale.

fourteenth, any excess amount not otherwise applied pursuant to the foregoing clauses (i) through (xiii) will be distributed pro rata to the Notes in accordance with their respective initial percentage interests.

 

For the purpose of this “—Distributions” section, with respect to the Burbank Office Portfolio Mortgage Loan, the Burbank Office Portfolio Pari Passu Companion Loans and the Burbank Office Portfolio Subordinate Companion Loans, the term “percentage interest” means the percentage equivalent of a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the principal balance of such loan, and the denominator of which is equal to the principal balance of the Burbank Office Portfolio Whole Loan.

 

In addition, solely for the purpose of this “—Distributions” section, the following terms have the meaning below:

 

A “Burbank Office Portfolio Debt Yield Trigger Period” commences upon the occurrence of (i) an event of default under the Burbank Office Portfolio Whole Loan or (ii) any non-monetary event of default under the Burbank Office Portfolio Whole Loan as to which the Burbank Office Portfolio Whole Loan becomes a specially serviced mortgage loan (which, for clarification does not include any “imminent event of default”). A Burbank Office Portfolio Debt Yield Trigger Cure Period will not exist to the extent a Note B holder is exercising its cure rights in accordance with the Burbank Office Portfolio Intercreditor Agreement or prior to the expiration of any cure period granted therein.

 

Consultation and Control

 

As of any date of determination, during a DBUBS 2017-BRBK Subordinate Control Period, the DBUBS 2017-BRBK Controlling Class Representative or its designee (such party, the “DBUBS 2017-BRBK Directing Holder”) will be the controlling holder under the Burbank Office Portfolio Intercreditor Agreement. As of the Closing Date, the DBUBS 2017-BRBK Directing Holder is expected to be Prima Capital Advisors LLC.

 

A “DBUBS 2017-BRBK Subordinate Control Period” means any period when the certificate balance of the DBUBS 2017-BRBK Mortgage Trust Class F certificates (taking into account the application of appraisal reduction amounts and collateral deficiency amounts to notionally reduce the certificate balance of such class of certificates) is at least 25% of the initial certificate balance of such class of certificates; provided, if at any time the certificate balances of all classes of certificates senior to such class of certificates have been reduced to zero as a result of the allocation of principal payments on the Burbank Office Portfolio Standalone Companion Loans, then a DBUBS 2017-BRBK Subordinate Control Period will be deemed to then be in effect. If the DBUBS 2017-BRBK Directing Holder becomes a borrower related party, a DBUBS 2017-BRBK Subordinate Control Period will be deemed to be terminated (except for the purposes of determining whether the DBUBS 2017-BRBK Directing Holder or a DBUBS 2017-BRBK Controlling Class Certificateholder has the right to

 

 285

 

 

appoint the successor special servicer to a DB DBUBS 2017-BRBK Special Servicer that is a borrower related party).

 

A “DBUBS 2017-BRBK Subordinate Consultation Period” means any period when both (i) the certificate balance of the DBUBS 2017-BRBK Mortgage Trust Class F certificates (taking into account the application of appraisal reduction amounts and collateral deficiency amounts to notionally reduce the certificate balance of such class of certificates), is less than 25% of the initial certificate balance of such class of certificates and (ii) the certificate balance of such class of certificates (without regard to the application of appraisal reduction amounts and collateral deficiency amounts allocated to such class of certificates) is at least 25% of the initial certificate balance of such class of certificates. If the DBUBS 2017-BRBK Directing Holder becomes a borrower related party, a DBUBS 2017-BRBK Subordinate Consultation Period will be deemed to be terminated (except for the purposes of determining whether the DBUBS 2017-BRBK Directing Holder or a DBUBS 2017-BRBK Controlling Class Certificateholder has the right to appoint the successor special servicer to a DBUBS 2017-BRBK Special Servicer that is a borrower related party.

 

When the certificate balance of the DBUBS 2017-BRBK Mortgage Trust Class F Certificates (without regard to the application of appraisal reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the certificate balance of such class of certificates) is less than 25% of the initial certificate balance of such class of certificates, the DBUBS 2017-BRBK Directing Holder will have no consent or consultation rights under the DBUBS 2017-BRBK Trust and Servicing Agreement except for such rights available to it as a certificateholder and such other rights that are available to it in accordance with the DBUBS 2017-BRBK Trust and Servicing Agreement.

 

Certain decisions to be made with respect to the Burbank Office Portfolio Whole Loan, including certain major decisions and the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an asset status report pursuant to the DBUBS 2017-BRBK Trust and Servicing Agreement require the approval of the DBUBS 2017-BRBK Directing Holder.

 

The “DBUBS 2017-BRBK Controlling Class” will be, as of any time of determination, the DBUBS 2017-BRBK Mortgage Trust Class F or Class HRR Certificates so long as such class has an outstanding certificate balance (as reduced by any principal payments, realized losses, appraisal reduction amounts and collateral deficiency amounts allocable to such class) that is equal to or greater than 25% of the initial certificate balance of such class or, if such class does not meet the preceding requirement, there will be no DBUBS 2017-BRBK Controlling Class.

 

A “DBUBS 2017-BRBK Controlling Class Certificateholder” will be each holder (or beneficial owner, if applicable) of a certificate of the DBUBS 2017-BRBK Controlling Class.

 

Neither the DBUBS 2017-BRBK Master Servicer nor the DBUBS 2017-BRBK Special Servicer will be permitted to follow any direction or objection provided by the DBUBS 2017-BRBK Directing Holder that would require or cause the DBUBS 2017-BRBK Master Servicer or the DBUBS 2017-BRBK Special Servicer to violate any provision of the Mortgage Loan documents, the DBUBS 2017-BRBK Intercreditor Agreement, applicable law or the DBUBS 2017-BRBK Trust and Servicing Agreement, including without limitation the DBUBS 2017-BRBK Master Servicer’s or the DBUBS 2017-BRBK Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the servicing standard, or expose any certificateholder, the DBUBS 2017-BRBK Master Servicer, the DBUBS 2017-BRBK Special Servicer, the DBUBS 2017-BRBK Certificate Administrator, the DBUBS 2017-BRBK Trustee or the DBUBS 2017-BRBK Mortgage Trust or their affiliates, officers, directors or agent to any claim, suit or liability, result in the imposition of a tax upon the DBUBS 2017-BRBK Mortgage Trust or materially

expand the scope of the DBUBS 2017-BRBK Master Servicer’s or the DBUBS 2017-BRBK Special Servicer’s responsibilities under the DBUBS 2017-BRBK.

 

Cure Rights

 

If the Burbank Office Portfolio Subordinate Companion Loans are no longer included in the DBUBS 2017-BRBK Mortgage Trust and there is a monetary default or non-monetary default (in either case, beyond applicable notice and grace periods) with respect to the Burbank Office Portfolio Whole Loan, then the Burbank Office Portfolio Subordinate Companion Loan Holders will have the right, but not the obligation to: (A) cure such monetary default within 10 business days following the receipt of notice of such default and (B) cure such non-monetary default within 30 days following receipt of notice of such default, provided that under certain circumstances the cure period with respect to a non-monetary default may be extended by an additional 60 days (for a total of up to 90 days). If the Burbank Office Portfolio Subordinate Companion Loan Holders elect to cure a default by way of a payment of money (a “Cure Payment”), the Burbank Office Portfolio Subordinate Companion Loan Holders will be required to make such Cure Payment as directed by the DBUBS 2017-BRBK Special Servicer and such Cure Payment will include all costs, expenses, losses, liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties and disbursements imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the issuing entity or the Burbank Office Portfolio Pari Passu Companion Loan holders related to the default and incurred during the period of time from the expiration of the grace period for such default until such Cure Payment is made or other cure is effected. So long as a default exists that is being cured by the Burbank Office Portfolio Subordinate Companion Loan Holders and the applicable cure period has not expired and the Burbank Office Portfolio Subordinate Companion Loan Holders are permitted to cure under the terms of the Burbank Office Portfolio Intercreditor Agreement, the default will not be treated as a default or a Burbank Office Portfolio Triggering Event of Default (i) for purposes of “—Distributions” above, (ii) for purposes of triggering an acceleration of the Burbank Office Portfolio Whole Loan, modifying, amending or waiving any provisions or the Mortgage Loan documents or commencing foreclosure proceedings or similar legal proceedings with respect to the Burbank Office Portfolio Mortgaged Properties, or (iii) for purposes of treating the Burbank Office Portfolio Whole Loan as a specially serviced loan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Burbank Office Portfolio Subordinate Companion Loan Holders’ right to cure a default will be limited to 6 Cure Events over the life of the Burbank Office Portfolio Whole Loan and no single Cure Event may exceed 4 consecutive months. A “Cure Event” means the Burbank Office Portfolio Subordinate Companion Loan Holders’ exercise of its cure rights whether for 1 month or for consecutive months in the aggregate.

Pursuant to the terms of the Burbank Office Portfolio Intercreditor Agreement, if the Burbank Office Portfolio Whole Loan becomes a defaulted mortgage loan, and if the DBUBS 2017-BRBK Special Servicer determines to sell the Burbank Office Portfolio Mortgage Loan and the Burbank Office Portfolio Companion Loans in accordance with the DBUBS 2017-BRBK Trust and Servicing Agreement, then the DBUBS 2017-BRBK Special Servicer will have the right and the obligation to sell the Burbank Office Portfolio Mortgage Loan and the Burbank Office Portfolio Companion Loans as notes evidencing one whole loan in accordance with the terms of the DBUBS 2017-BRBK Trust and Servicing Agreement.

237 Park Avenue Whole Loan

 

General

 

The Mortgage Loan secured by the Mortgaged Property identified on Annex A-1 as 237 Park Avenue, representing approximately 3.4% of the Initial Pool Balance (the “237 Park Avenue Mortgage Loan”), is part of a whole loan comprised of eighteen (18) mortgage notes (nine of which evidence the Senior Loan and nine of which evidence the Building Loan), each of which is secured by the same mortgage instrument on the same underlying Mortgaged Property (the “237 Park Avenue Property”).

 

In connection with the origination of the 237 Park Avenue Whole Loan, and for purposes of complying with New York Lien Law, the lender bifurcated the Whole Loan into a senior loan (the “Senior Loan” and the related promissory notes, each, a “Senior Note”) and a separate building loan (the “Building Loan” and the related promissory notes, each a “Building Note”). The terms and conditions of the Building Loan documents substantially mirror those of the Senior Loan documents. The Building Loan and the Senior Loan function practically as one loan. The Building Loan and the Senior Loan are cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted. The Senior Loan is senior in priority to the Building Loan, but not senior in terms of payment.

 

The 237 Park Avenue Mortgage Loan is evidenced by four promissory notes (Senior Note A-2-C2, Building Note A-2-C2, Senior Note A-2-C3 and Building Note A-2-C3) with an aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of $25,390,000. The related pari passu companion loans (the “237 Park Avenue Pari Passu Companion Loans”) are evidenced by Senior Note A-1-S (controlling), Building Note A-1-S, Senior Note A-1-C1, Building Note A-1-C1, Senior Note A-1-C2, Building Note A-1-C2, Senior Note A-2-S, Building Note A-2-S, Senior Note A-2-C1 and Building Note A-2-C1. The related subordinate companion loan (the “237 Park Avenue Subordinate Companion Loan”) is evidenced by Senior Note B-1-S, Building Note B-1-S, Senior Note B-2-S and Building Note B-2-S (each, a “B Note”). Senior Notes A-1-S, A-1-C1, A-1-C2, A-2-S, A-2-C1, A-2-C2 and A-2-C3 and Building Notes A-1-S, A-1-C1, A-1-C2, A-2-S, A-2-C1, A-2-C2 and A-2-C3 are referred to herein as the “A Notes”. The 237 Park Avenue Pari Passu Companion Loans evidenced by Senior Note A-1-S, Building Note A-1-S, Senior Note A-2-S and Building Note A-2-S (the “MSSG 2017-237 Park A Notes”) and the 237 Park Avenue Subordinate Companion Loans were securitized in the MSSG 2017-237P transaction. The 237 Park Avenue Pari Passu Companion Loans evidenced by Senior Note A-1-C-1 and Building Note A-1-C-1 were contributed to the MSBAM 2017-C34 transaction. The 237 Park Avenue Pari Passu Companion Loans evidenced by Senior Note A-2-C-1 and Building Note A-2-C-1 were contributed to the UBS 2017-C4 transaction. Senior Note A-1-C-2 and Building Note A-1-C-2 are currently held by Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A. and are expected to be contributed to one or more future transactions.

 

The rights of the holders of the promissory notes evidencing the 237 Park Avenue Whole Loan (the “237 Park Avenue Noteholders”) are subject to an Intercreditor Agreement (the “237 Park Avenue Intercreditor Agreement”). The following summaries describe certain provisions of the 237 Park Avenue Intercreditor Agreement.

 

Servicing

 

The 237 Park Avenue Whole Loan and any related REO Property will be serviced and administered pursuant to the terms of the MSSG 2017-237P trust and servicing agreement (the “MSSG 2017-237P TSA”) by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the “237 Park Avenue Servicer”) and, if necessary, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as special servicer (the “237 Park Avenue Special Servicer”), in the manner described under “Pooling

 

 289

 

 

and Servicing Agreement—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans” in this prospectus, but subject to the terms of the 237 Park Avenue Intercreditor Agreement.

 

Advances

 

The master servicer or the trustee, as applicable, under the PSA will be responsible for making any required P&I Advance on the 237 Park Avenue Mortgage Loan (but not any advances of principal and/or interest on the 237 Park Avenue Pari Passu Companion Loan or the 237 Park Avenue Subordinate Companion Loans) pursuant to the terms of the PSA, unless the master servicer or the trustee, as applicable, or the special servicer under the PSA determines that such an advance would not be recoverable from collections on the 237 Park Avenue Mortgage Loan. The 237 Park Avenue Master Servicer is responsible for making (A) any required principal and interest advances on the promissory notes included in the MSSG 2017-237P transaction (but not on the 237 Park Avenue Mortgage Loan) and (B) and property protection advances with respect to the 237 Park Avenue Whole Loan, unless in the case of clause (A) or (B) above, a determination of nonrecoverability is made under the MSSG 2017-237P TSA.

Review of the UBS AG, New York Branch Mortgage Loans

 

Overview. UBS AG, New York Branch, in its capacity as the sponsor of the UBS AG, New York Branch Mortgage Loans, has conducted a review of the UBS AG, New York Branch Mortgage Loans in connection with the securitization described in this prospectus. The review of the UBS AG, New York Branch Mortgage Loans was performed by a deal team comprised of real estate and securitization professionals who are employees of one or more of UBS AG, New York Branch’s affiliates and certain third party consultants engaged by UBS AG, New York Branch (the “UBS AG, New York Branch Deal Team”). The review procedures described below were employed with respect to all of the UBS AG, New York Branch Mortgage Loans, except that certain review procedures only were relevant to the large loan disclosures in this prospectus, as further described below. No sampling procedures were used in the review process.

 

Database. To prepare for securitization, members of the UBS AG, New York Branch Deal Team created a database of loan level and property level information relating to each UBS AG, New York Branch Mortgage Loan. The database was compiled from, among other sources, the related mortgage loan documents, third party reports, zoning reports, insurance policies, borrower supplied information (including, but not limited to, rent rolls, leases, operating statements and budgets) and information collected by UBS AG, New York Branch during the underwriting process. After origination of each UBS AG, New York Branch Mortgage Loan, the UBS AG, New York Branch Deal Team updated the information in the

 

 297

 

 

database with respect to the UBS AG, New York Branch Mortgage Loan based on updates provided by the related servicer relating to loan payment status and escrows, updated operating statements, rent rolls and leasing activity, and information otherwise brought to the attention of the UBS AG, New York Branch Deal Team, to the extent such updates were provided to, and deemed material by, the UBS AG, New York Branch Deal Team.

 

A data tape (the “UBS AG, New York Branch Data Tape”) containing detailed information regarding each UBS AG, New York Branch Mortgage Loan was created from the information in the database referred to in the prior paragraph. The UBS AG, New York Branch Data Tape was used by the UBS AG, New York Branch Deal Team to provide the numerical information regarding the UBS AG, New York Branch Mortgage Loans in this prospectus.

 

Data Comparison and Recalculation. The depositor, on behalf of UBS AG, New York Branch, engaged a third party accounting firm to perform certain data comparison and recalculation procedures, the nature, extent and timing of which were designed by UBS AG, New York Branch, relating to information in this prospectus regarding the UBS AG, New York Branch Mortgage Loans. These procedures included:

 

comparing the information in the UBS AG, New York Branch Data Tape against various source documents provided by UBS AG, New York Branch;

 

comparing numerical information regarding the UBS AG, New York Branch Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgaged Properties disclosed in this prospectus against the information contained in the UBS AG, New York Branch Data Tape; and

 

recalculating certain percentages, ratios and other formulae relating to the UBS AG, New York Branch Mortgage Loans disclosed in this prospectus.

 

Legal Review. UBS AG, New York Branch engaged various law firms to conduct certain legal reviews of the UBS AG, New York Branch Mortgage Loans for disclosure in this prospectus. In anticipation of the securitization of each UBS AG, New York Branch Mortgage Loan, origination counsel prepared a loan and property summary that sets forth salient loan terms and summarizes material deviations from UBS AG, New York Branch’s standard form loan documents. In addition, origination counsel for each UBS AG, New York Branch Mortgage Loan reviewed UBS AG, New York Branch’s representations and warranties set forth on Annex D-1 and, if applicable, identified exceptions to those representations and warranties.

 

Securitization counsel was also engaged to assist in the review of the UBS AG, New York Branch Mortgage Loans. Such assistance included, among other things, (i) a review of sections of the loan agreement relating to certain UBS AG, New York Branch Mortgage Loans marked against the standard form document, (ii) a review of the loan and property summaries referred to above relating to the UBS AG, New York Branch Mortgage Loans prepared by origination counsel, and (iii) assisting the UBS AG, New York Branch Deal Team in compiling responses to a due diligence questionnaire. Securitization counsel also reviewed the property release provisions, if any, for each UBS AG, New York Branch Mortgage Loan with multiple Mortgaged Properties for compliance with the REMIC provisions.

 

Origination counsel also assisted in the preparation of the UBS AG, New York Branch Mortgage Loan summaries set forth in Annex A-3, based on their respective reviews of pertinent sections of the related mortgage loan documents.

 

 298

 

 

Other Review Procedures. With respect to any pending litigation that existed at the origination of any UBS AG, New York Branch Mortgage Loan, UBS AG, New York Branch requested updates from the related borrower, origination counsel and/or borrower’s litigation counsel. UBS AG, New York Branch conducted a search with respect to each borrower under a UBS AG, New York Branch Mortgage Loan to determine whether it filed for bankruptcy after origination of the UBS AG, New York Branch Mortgage Loan. If UBS AG, New York Branch became aware of a significant natural disaster in the vicinity of any Mortgaged Property securing a UBS AG, New York Branch Mortgage Loan, UBS AG, New York Branch obtained information on the status of the Mortgaged Property from the related borrower to confirm no material damage to the Mortgaged Property.

 

The UBS AG, New York Branch Deal Team also consulted with UBS AG, New York Branch to confirm that the UBS AG, New York Branch Mortgage Loans were originated or re underwritten in compliance with the origination and underwriting criteria described below under “—UBS AG, New York Branch’s Underwriting Standards”, as well as to identify any material deviations from those origination and underwriting criteria.

 

Findings and Conclusions. Based on the foregoing review procedures, UBS AG, New York Branch determined that the disclosure regarding the UBS AG, New York Branch Mortgage Loans in this prospectus is accurate in all material respects. UBS AG, New York Branch also determined that the UBS AG, New York Branch Mortgage Loans were originated and in accordance with UBS AG, New York Branch’s origination procedures and underwriting criteria. UBS AG, New York Branch attributes to itself all findings and conclusions resulting from the foregoing review procedures.

 

Review Procedures in the Event of a Mortgage Loan Substitution. UBS AG, New York Branch will perform a review of any mortgage loan that it elects to substitute for a mortgage loan in the pool in connection with a material breach of a representation or warranty or a material document defect. UBS AG, New York Branch and, if appropriate, its legal counsel, will review the mortgage loan documents and servicing history of the substitute mortgage loan to confirm it satisfies each of the criteria required under the terms of the related mortgage loan purchase agreement and the pooling and servicing agreement (collectively, the “UBS Qualification Criteria”). UBS AG, New York Branch will engage a third party accounting firm to compare the UBS Qualification Criteria against the underlying source documentation to verify the accuracy of the review by UBS AG, New York Branch and to confirm any numerical and/or statistical information to be disclosed in any required filings under the Exchange Act. Legal counsel will also be engaged by UBS AG, New York Branch to render any tax opinion required in connection with the substitution.

 

UBS AG, New York Branch’s Underwriting Standards

 

Set forth below is a discussion of certain general underwriting guidelines of UBS AG, New York Branch with respect to multifamily and commercial mortgage loans originated or acquired by UBS AG, New York Branch.

 

Notwithstanding the discussion below, given the unique nature of commercial mortgaged properties, the underwriting and origination procedures and the credit analysis with respect to any particular commercial mortgage loan may significantly differ from one asset to another, and will be driven by circumstances particular to that property, including, among others, its type, current use, size, location, market conditions, reserve requirements and additional collateral, tenants and leases, borrower identity, sponsorship, performance history and/or other factors. Consequently, there can be no assurance that the underwriting of any particular commercial or multifamily mortgage loan will conform to the general guidelines described below.

 

 299

 

 

Loan Analysis. UBS AG, New York Branch generally performs both a credit analysis and a collateral analysis with respect to each multifamily and commercial mortgage loan. The credit analysis of the borrower generally includes a review of third party credit reports or judgment, lien, bankruptcy and pending litigation searches. The collateral analysis generally includes an analysis, in each case to the extent available and applicable, of the historical property operating statements, rent rolls and a review of certain significant tenant leases. UBS AG, New York Branch’s credit underwriting also generally includes a review of third party appraisals, as well as environmental reports, building condition reports and seismic reports, if applicable. Generally, a member of the mortgage loan underwriting team also conducts a site inspection to ascertain the overall quality, functionality and competitiveness of the property, including its neighborhood and market, accessibility and visibility, and to assess the tenancy of the property. UBS AG, New York Branch assesses the submarket in which the property is located to evaluate competitive or comparable properties as well as market trends.

 

Loan Approval. Prior to commitment or closing, all multifamily and commercial mortgage loans to be originated by UBS AG, New York Branch must be approved by a loan committee which includes senior personnel from UBS AG, New York Branch or its affiliates. The committee may approve a mortgage loan as recommended, request additional due diligence, modify the loan terms or decline a loan transaction.

 

Debt Service Coverage Ratio and LTV Ratio. UBS AG, New York Branch’s underwriting includes a calculation of the debt service coverage ratio and loan-to-value ratio in connection with the origination of a loan.

 

The debt service coverage ratio will generally be calculated based on the underwritten net cash flow from the property in question as determined by UBS AG, New York Branch and payments on the loan based on actual principal and/or interest due on the loan. However, underwritten net cash flow is often a highly subjective number based on a variety of assumptions regarding, and adjustments to, revenues and expenses with respect to the related real property collateral. For example, when calculating the debt service coverage ratio for a multifamily or commercial mortgage loan, UBS AG, New York Branch may utilize annual net cash flow that was calculated based on assumptions regarding projected future rental income, expenses and/or occupancy. There is no assurance that the foregoing assumptions made with respect to any prospective multifamily or commercial mortgage loan will, in fact, be consistent with actual property performance. In addition, with respect to certain mortgage loans originated by UBS AG, New York Branch, there may exist subordinate mortgage debt or mezzanine debt. Such mortgage loans may have a lower debt service coverage ratio and/or a higher loan-to-value ratio if such subordinate or mezzanine debt is taken into account. Additionally, certain mortgage loans may provide for only interest payments prior to maturity, or for an interest-only period during a portion of the term of the mortgage loan.

 

The loan-to-value ratio, in general, is the ratio, expressed as a percentage, of the then-outstanding principal balance of the mortgage loan divided by the estimated value of the related property based on an appraisal.

 

Additional Debt. Certain mortgage loans may have or permit in the future certain additional subordinate debt, whether secured or unsecured. It is possible that UBS AG, New York Branch may be the lender on that additional debt.

 

The debt service coverage ratios described above may be lower based on the inclusion of the payments related to such additional debt and the loan-to-value ratios described above may be higher based on the inclusion of the amount of any such additional debt.

 

 300

 

 

Assessments of Property Condition. As part of the underwriting process, UBS AG, New York Branch will obtain the property assessments and reports described below:

 

Appraisals. UBS AG, New York Branch will generally require independent appraisals or an update of an independent appraisal in connection with the origination of each mortgage loan that meet the requirements of the “Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice” as adopted by the Appraisal Standards Board of the Appraisal Foundation, or the guidelines in Title XI of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989. In some cases, however, UBS AG, New York Branch may establish the value of the subject real property collateral based on a cash flow analysis, a recent sales price or another method or benchmark of valuation.

 

Environmental Assessment. UBS AG, New York Branch will, in most cases, require a Phase I environmental assessment with respect to the real property collateral for a prospective multifamily or commercial mortgage loan. However, when circumstances warrant, UBS AG, New York Branch may utilize an update of a prior environmental assessment, a transaction screen or a desktop review. Alternatively, UBS AG, New York Branch might forego an environmental assessment in limited circumstances, such as when it has obtained the benefits of an environmental insurance policy or an environmental guarantee. Furthermore, an environmental assessment conducted at any particular real property collateral will not necessarily uncover all potential environmental issues. For example, an analysis for radon, lead based paint, mold and lead in drinking water will usually be conducted only at multifamily rental properties and only when UBS AG, New York Branch or an environmental consultant believes that such an analysis is warranted under the circumstances.

 

Depending on the findings of the initial environmental assessment, UBS AG, New York Branch may require additional environmental testing, such as a Phase II environmental assessment with respect to the subject real property collateral, an environmental insurance policy or a guaranty with respect to environmental matters.

 

Engineering Assessment. In connection with the origination process, UBS AG, New York Branch will, in most cases, require that an engineering firm inspect the real property collateral for any prospective multifamily or commercial mortgage loan to assess the structure, exterior walls, roofing, interior structure and/or mechanical and electrical systems. Based on the resulting report, UBS AG, New York Branch will determine the appropriate response to any recommended repairs, corrections or replacements and any identified deferred maintenance.

 

Seismic Report. Generally, a seismic report is required for all properties located in seismic zones 3 or 4.

 

Zoning and Building Code Compliance. In connection with the origination of a multifamily or commercial mortgage loan, UBS AG, New York Branch will generally examine whether the use and occupancy of the related real property collateral is in material compliance with zoning, land use, building rules, regulations and orders then applicable to that property. Evidence of this compliance may be in the form of one or more of the following: legal opinions, surveys, recorded documents, temporary or permanent certificates of occupancy, letters from government officials or agencies, title insurance endorsements, engineering, zoning or consulting reports and/or representations by the related borrower.

 

Escrow Requirements. Based on its analysis of the real property collateral, the borrower and the principals of the borrower, UBS AG, New York Branch may require a borrower under

 

 301

 

 

a multifamily or commercial mortgage loan to fund various escrows for taxes and/or insurance, capital expenses, replacement reserves and/or environmental remediation. UBS AG, New York Branch conducts a case by case analysis to determine the need for a particular escrow or reserve. Consequently, the aforementioned escrows and reserves are not established for every multifamily and commercial mortgage loan originated by UBS AG, New York Branch. Furthermore, UBS AG, New York Branch may accept an alternative to a cash escrow or reserve from a borrower, such as a letter of credit or a guarantee or periodic evidence that the items for which the escrow or reserve would have been established are being paid or addressed.

 

Exceptions

 

One or more of the mortgage loans originated by UBS AG, New York Branch may vary from the specific UBS AG, New York Branch underwriting guidelines described above when additional credit positive characteristics are present as discussed above. In addition, in the case of one or more of the mortgage loans originated by UBS AG, New York Branch, UBS AG, New York Branch may not have applied each of the specific underwriting guidelines described above as the result of case-by-case permitted flexibility based upon other compensating factors. None of the UBS AG, New York Branch Mortgage Loans was originated with any material exceptions from UBS AG, New York Branch’s underwriting guidelines described above.

 

Litigation

 

UBS AG, New York Branch and UBSRES are currently engaged in litigation with respect to various legacy residential mortgage backed securities transactions. Some litigants are seeking the repurchase of mortgage loans by UBSRES from certain residential mortgage securitization trusts, on the basis that the loans are allegedly in breach of contractual representations and warranties in governing transaction documents. Other litigants are alleging violations of federal and/or state securities or common law for alleged misrepresentations and omissions in offering documents in connection with the issuance and/or distribution of residential mortgage backed securities. No assurance can be given that one or more of the foregoing actions will not result in material liability to UBS AG, New York Branch.

 

Compliance with Rule 15Ga-1 under the Exchange Act

 

UBS AG, New York Branch most recently filed a Form ABS-15G on February 14, 2017. UBS AG, New York Branch’s Central Index Key is 0001685185. With respect to the period from and including October 13, 2016 (the date of the first securitization into which UBS AG, New York Branch sold mortgage loans pursuant to which the underlying transaction documents provide a covenant to repurchase an underlying asset for breach of representation or warranty) to and including September 30, 2017, UBS AG, New York Branch has no demand, repurchase or replacement history to report as required by Rule 15Ga-1.

 

Retained Interests in This Securitization

 

Neither UBS AG, New York Branch nor any of its affiliates intends to retain on the Closing Date any certificates issued by the issuing entity or any other economic interest in this securitization.

Review of CCRE Mortgage Loans

 

Overview. CCRE Lending has conducted a review of the CCRE Mortgage Loans in connection with the securitization described in this prospectus. The review of the CCRE Mortgage Loans was performed by a deal team comprised of real estate and securitization professionals (the “CCRE Deal Team”). The review procedures described below were employed with respect to all of the CCRE Mortgage Loans, except that certain review procedures were relevant only to the large loan disclosures in this prospectus, as further described below. No sampling procedures were used in the review process.

 

Data Tape. To prepare for securitization, members of the CCRE Deal Team created a data tape (the “CCRE Data Tape”) containing detailed loan-level and property-level information regarding each CCRE Mortgage Loan. The CCRE Data Tape was compiled from, among other sources, the related Mortgage Loan Documents, appraisals, environmental reports, seismic reports, property condition reports, zoning reports, insurance policies, borrower-supplied information (including, but not limited to, rent rolls, leases, operating statements and budgets) and information collected by CCRE Lending during the underwriting process. The CCRE Deal Team updated the information in the CCRE Data Tape with respect to the CCRE Mortgage Loans from time to time based on updates provided by the related loan servicer relating to loan payment status and escrows, updated operating statements, rent rolls and leasing activity and information otherwise brought to the attention of the CCRE Deal Team. The CCRE Data Tape was used by the CCRE Deal Team in providing the numerical information regarding the CCRE Mortgage Loans in this prospectus.

 

Data Comparison and Recalculation. The depositor, on behalf of CCRE Lending, engaged a third party accounting firm to perform certain data comparison and recalculation procedures designed by CCRE Lending relating to information in this prospectus regarding the CCRE Mortgage Loans. These procedures included:

 

comparing the information in the CCRE Data Tape against various source documents provided by CCRE Lending that are described above under “—Data Tape”;

 

comparing numerical information regarding the CCRE Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgaged Properties disclosed in this prospectus against the CCRE Data Tape; and

 

recalculating certain percentages, ratios and other formulae relating to the CCRE Mortgage Loans disclosed in this prospectus.

 

Legal Review. CCRE Lending engaged various law firms to conduct certain legal reviews of the CCRE Mortgage Loans for disclosure in this prospectus. In anticipation of the securitization of each CCRE Mortgage Loan originated by CCRE Lending, origination counsel prepared a loan summary that sets forth salient loan terms and summarizes material deviations from CCRE Lending’s standard form loan documents. In addition, origination counsel for each CCRE Mortgage Loan reviewed CCRE Lending’s representations and warranties set forth on Annex C to this prospectus and, if applicable, identified exceptions to those representations and warranties.

 

Securitization counsel was also engaged to assist in the review of the CCRE Mortgage Loans. Such assistance included, among other things, a review of (i) a due diligence

 

 304

 

 

questionnaires completed by origination counsel and (ii) exceptions to representations and warranties compiled by origination counsel. Securitization counsel also reviewed the property release provisions (other than the partial defeasance provisions), if any, for each CCRE Mortgage Loan with multiple Mortgaged Properties or, to the extent identified by origination counsel, for each CCRE Mortgage Loan with permitted outparcel releases or similar releases for compliance with the REMIC provisions of the Code.

 

CCRE Lending prepared, and reviewed with originating counsel and/or securitization counsel, the loan summaries for those of the CCRE Mortgage Loans included in the 10 largest Mortgage Loans in the mortgage pool, and the abbreviated loan summaries for those of the CCRE Mortgage Loans included in the next five (5) largest Mortgage Loans in the mortgage pool, which loan summaries and abbreviated loan summaries are incorporated in “Annex A-3—Description of the Top Fifteen Mortgage Loans and Additional Mortgage Loan Information” in this prospectus.

 

Other Review Procedures. In connection with the origination of each CCRE Mortgage Loan, CCRE Lending conducted a search with respect to each borrower under the related CCRE Mortgage Loan to determine whether it filed for bankruptcy. With respect to any material pending litigation that existed at the origination of any CCRE Mortgage Loan, CCRE Lending requested updates from the related borrower, origination counsel and/or borrower’s litigation counsel. If CCRE Lending became aware of a significant natural disaster in the vicinity of any mortgaged property securing a CCRE Mortgage Loan, CCRE Lending obtained information on the status of the mortgaged property from the related borrower to confirm no material damage to the mortgaged property.

 

With respect to the CCRE Mortgage Loans originated by CCRE Lending, the CCRE Deal Team also consulted with the applicable CCRE Mortgage Loan origination team to confirm that the CCRE Mortgage Loans were originated in compliance with the origination and underwriting criteria described below under “—CCRE Lending’s Underwriting Standards”.

 

Findings and Conclusions. CCRE Lending found and concluded with reasonable assurance that the disclosure regarding the CCRE Mortgage Loans in this prospectus is accurate in all material respects. CCRE Lending also found and concluded with reasonable assurance that the CCRE Mortgage Loans were originated in accordance with CCRE Lending’s origination procedures and underwriting criteria. CCRE Lending attributes to itself all findings and conclusions resulting from the foregoing review procedures.

 

CCRE Lending’s Underwriting Standards

 

General. CCRE Lending’s commercial mortgage loans are generally originated in accordance with the underwriting criteria described below; however, variations from these guidelines may be implemented as a result of various conditions, including each loan’s specific terms, the quality or location of the underlying real estate, the property’s tenancy profile, the background or financial strength of the borrower/loan sponsor, or any other pertinent information deemed material by CCRE Lending. Therefore, this general description of CCRE Lending’s underwriting standards is not intended as a representation that every CCRE Mortgage Loan complies entirely with all criteria set forth below.

 

Loan Analysis. The credit underwriting process for each CCRE Lending loan is performed by a team comprised of real estate professionals that typically includes a senior member, originator, underwriter, transaction manager and loan closer. This team is required to conduct a thorough review of the related mortgaged property, which typically includes an examination of historical operating statements, rent rolls, tenant leases, current and historical real estate tax information, insurance policies and/or schedules, and third-party

 

 305

 

 

reports pertaining to appraisal/valuation, zoning, environmental status and physical condition/seismic/engineering.

 

A member of the CCRE Lending team or an agent of CCRE Lending is required to perform an inspection of the property as well as a review of the surrounding market area, including demand generators and competing properties, in order to confirm tenancy information, assess the physical quality of the collateral, determine visibility and access characteristics, and evaluate the property’s competitiveness within its market.

 

The CCRE Lending team or an affiliate of CCRE Lending, along with a third-party provider engaged by CCRE Lending, also performs a detailed review of the financial status, credit history and background of the borrower and certain key principals through financial statements, income tax returns, credit reports, criminal/background investigations, and specific searches for judgments, liens, bankruptcy and pending litigation. Circumstances may also warrant an examination of the financial strength and credit of key tenants as well as other factors that may impact the tenants’ ongoing occupancy or ability to pay rent.

 

After the compilation and review of all documentation and other relevant considerations, the CCRE Lending team finalizes its detailed underwriting analysis of the property’s cash flow in accordance with CCRE Lending’s property-specific, cash flow underwriting guidelines. Determinations are also made regarding the implementation of appropriate loan terms to structure in a manner to mitigate risks, resulting in features such as ongoing escrows or upfront reserves, letters of credit, lockboxes/cash management or guarantees. A complete credit committee package is prepared to summarize all of the above-referenced information.

 

Loan Approval. All commercial mortgage loans must be presented to one or more credit committees that consist of senior real estate and finance professionals of CCRE Lending and its affiliates among others. After a review of the credit committee package and a discussion of the loan, the committee may approve the loan as recommended, request additional due diligence or loan structure, modify the terms, or reject the loan entirely.

 

Debt Service Coverage and LTV Ratio. CCRE Lending’s underwriting standards generally require a minimum debt service coverage ratio of 1.20x and maximum loan-to-value (“LTV”) ratio of 80%; however, these thresholds are guidelines and exceptions may be made on the merits of each loan. Certain properties may also be encumbered by subordinate debt secured by the related mortgaged property and/or mezzanine debt secured by direct or indirect ownership interests in the borrower, which when such mezzanine or subordinate debt is taken into account, may result in aggregate debt that does not conform to the aforementioned parameters; namely, the debt service coverage ratios described above will be lower based on the inclusion of the payments related to such additional debt and the LTV ratios described above will be higher based on the inclusion of the amount of any such additional subordinate debt and/or mezzanine debt.

 

The aforementioned debt service coverage ratio requirements pertain to the underwritten cash flow at origination and may not hold true for each CCRE Mortgage Loan as reported in this prospectus. Property and loan information is typically updated for securitization, including an update or re-underwriting of the property’s cash flow, which may reflect positive or negative developments at the property or in the market that have occurred since origination, possibly resulting in an increase or decrease in the debt service coverage ratio.

 

Additional Debt. Certain mortgage loans may have, or permit in the future, certain additional subordinate debt, whether secured or unsecured, and/or mezzanine debt. It is

 

 306

 

 

possible that CCRE Lending or an affiliate thereof may be the lender on that additional subordinate debt and/or mezzanine debt.

 

Amortization Requirements. While CCRE Lending’s underwriting guidelines generally permit a maximum amortization period of 30 years, certain loans may provide for interest-only payments through maturity or for an initial portion of the mortgage loan term; however, if the loan entails only a partial interest-only period, the monthly debt service, annual debt service and debt service coverage ratio set forth in this prospectus will reflect a calculation on the future (larger) amortizing loan payment.

 

Servicing. Interim servicing for all CCRE Lending loans prior to securitization will typically be performed by an unaffiliated third party such as Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank National Association or an affiliate of CCRE Lending, Berkeley Point; however, primary servicing may be occasionally retained by certain qualified subservicers under established sub-servicing agreements with CCRE Lending, which may be retained post-securitization. Otherwise, servicing responsibilities will be transferred from such third-party servicer to the master servicer of the securitization trust (and a primary servicer when applicable) at closing. From time to time, the original third-party servicer may retain primary servicing.

 

Assessments of Property Condition

 

As part of the underwriting process, the property assessments and reports described below will typically be obtained:

 

(i)       Appraisals. Independent appraisals or an update of an independent appraisal will generally be required in connection with the origination of each mortgage loan that meets the requirements of the “Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice” as adopted by the Appraisal Standards Board of the Appraisal Foundation, or the guidelines in Title XI of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989. In some cases, however, the value of the subject real property collateral may be established based on a cash flow analysis, a recent sales price or another method or benchmark of valuation.

 

(ii)       Environmental Assessment. In most cases, a Phase I environmental assessment will be required with respect to the real property collateral for a prospective commercial, multifamily or manufactured housing community mortgage loan. However, when circumstances warrant, an update of a prior environmental assessment, a transaction screen or a desktop review may be utilized. Alternatively, in limited circumstances, an environmental assessment may not be required, such as when the benefits of an environmental insurance policy or an environmental guarantee have been obtained. Furthermore, an environmental assessment conducted at any particular real property collateral will not necessarily cover all potential environmental issues. For example, an analysis for radon, lead-based paint, mold and lead in drinking water will usually be conducted only at multifamily rental properties and only when the originator or an environmental consultant believes that such an analysis is warranted under the circumstances. Depending on the findings of the initial environmental assessment, any of the following may be required: additional environmental testing, such as a Phase II environmental assessment with respect to the subject real property collateral; an environmental insurance policy; that the borrower conduct remediation activities or establish an operations and maintenance plan; and/or a guaranty or reserve with respect to environmental matters.

 

 307

 

 

(iii)       Engineering Assessment. In connection with the origination process, in most cases it will be required that an engineering firm inspect the real property collateral for any prospective commercial, multifamily or manufactured housing community mortgage loan to assess the structure, exterior walls, roofing, interior structure and/or mechanical and electrical systems. Based on the resulting report, the appropriate response will be determined to any recommended repairs, corrections or replacements and any identified deferred maintenance.

 

(iv)       Seismic Report. Generally, a seismic report is required for all properties located in seismic zones 3 or 4.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, engineering inspections and seismic reports will generally not be required or obtained by the originator in connection with the origination process in the case of mortgage loans secured by real properties that are subject to a ground lease, triple-net lease or other long-term lease, or in the case of mortgage loans that are not collateralized by any material improvements on the real property collateral.

 

Title Insurance. The borrower is required to provide, and CCRE Lending or its origination counsel will typically review, a title insurance policy for each property. The title insurance policies provided typically must be: (i) written by a title insurer licensed to do business in the jurisdiction where the mortgaged property is located, (ii) in an amount at least equal to the original principal balance of the mortgage loan, (iii) issued such that protection and benefits run to the mortgagee and its successors and assigns, (iv) written on an American Land Title Association form or equivalent policy promulgated in the jurisdiction where the mortgaged property is located and (v) issued such that if a survey was prepared, the legal description of the mortgaged property in the title policy conforms to that shown on the survey.

 

Casualty Insurance. Except in certain instances where sole or significant tenants (which may include ground tenants) are required to obtain insurance or may self-insure, CCRE Lending typically requires that the related mortgaged property be insured by a hazard insurance policy with a customary deductible and in an amount at least equal to the lesser of the outstanding principal balance of the mortgage loan and 100% of the full insurable replacement cost of the improvements located on the property. If applicable, the policy contains appropriate endorsements to avoid the application of coinsurance and does not permit reduction in insurance proceeds for depreciation, except that the policy may permit a deduction for depreciation in connection with a cash settlement after a casualty if the insurance proceeds are not being applied to rebuild or repair the damaged improvements.

 

Flood insurance, if available, must be in effect for any mortgaged property that at the time of origination included material improvements in any area identified as a special flood hazard area in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The flood insurance policy must meet the requirements of the then-current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration, be provided by a generally acceptable insurance carrier and be in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (i) the outstanding principal balance of the mortgage loan, (ii) the full insurable value of the property or, in cases where only a portion of the property is in the flood zone, the full insurable value of the portion of the property contained therein, and (iii) the maximum amount of insurance available under the National Flood Insurance Program, except in some cases where self-insurance was permitted.

 

The standard form of hazard insurance policy typically covers physical damage or destruction of the improvements on the mortgaged property caused by fire, lightning, explosion, smoke, windstorm and hail, riot or strike and civil commotion. The policies may

 

 308

 

 

contain some conditions and exclusions to coverage, including exclusions related to acts of terrorism. Generally, each of the mortgage loans requires that the related property have coverage for terrorism or terrorist acts, if such coverage is available at commercially reasonable rates. In all (or substantially all) cases, there is a cap on the amount that the related borrower will be required to expend on terrorism insurance.

 

The mortgage loan documents typically also require the borrower to maintain comprehensive general liability insurance against claims for personal and bodily injury, death or property damage occurring on, in or about the property in an amount customarily required by institutional lenders.

 

The mortgage loan documents typically further require the related borrower to maintain business interruption or rent loss insurance in an amount not less than 100% of the projected rental income from the related property for not less than twelve months.

 

Although properties are typically not insured for earthquake risk, a borrower will be required to obtain earthquake insurance if the property has material improvements and the seismic report indicates that the probable maximum loss (“PML”) or scenario expected loss (“SEL”) is greater than 20%.

 

Zoning and Building Code Compliance. In connection with the origination of a commercial, multifamily or manufactured housing community mortgage loan, the originator will generally examine whether the use and occupancy of the related real property collateral is in material compliance with zoning, land-use, building rules, regulations and orders then applicable to that property. Evidence of this compliance may be in the form of one or more of the following: legal opinions, surveys, recorded documents, temporary or permanent certificates of occupancy, letters from government officials or agencies, title insurance endorsements, engineering or consulting reports, zoning reports and/or representations by the related borrower.

 

In some cases, a mortgaged property may constitute a legal non-conforming use or structure. In such cases, CCRE Lending may require an endorsement to the title insurance policy or the acquisition of law and ordinance or similar insurance with respect to the particular non-conformity unless it determines that: (i) the non-conformity should not have a material adverse effect on the ability of the borrower to rebuild; (ii) if the improvements are rebuilt in accordance with currently applicable law, the value and performance of the property would be acceptable; (iii) any major casualty that would prevent rebuilding has a sufficiently remote likelihood of occurring; or (iv) a cash reserve, a letter of credit or an agreement from a principal of the borrower is provided to cover losses.

 

If a material violation exists with respect to a mortgaged property, CCRE Lending may require the borrower to remediate such violation and, subject to the discussion under “—Escrow Requirements” below, establish a reserve to cover the cost of such remediation, unless a cash reserve, a letter of credit or an agreement from a principal of the borrower is provided to cover losses.

 

Escrow Requirements. Based on the originator’s analysis of the real property collateral, the borrower and the principals of the borrower, a borrower under a commercial, multifamily or manufactured housing community mortgage loan may be required to fund various escrows for taxes, insurance, replacement reserves, tenant improvements/leasing commissions, deferred maintenance and/or environmental remediation. A case-by-case analysis will be conducted to determine the need for a particular escrow or reserve. Consequently, the aforementioned escrows and reserves are not established for every commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community mortgage loan originated by

 

 309

 

 

CCRE Lending. Furthermore, CCRE Lending may accept an alternative to a cash escrow or reserve from a borrower, such as a letter of credit or a guarantee from the borrower or an affiliate of the borrower or periodic evidence that the items for which the escrow or reserve would have been established are being paid or addressed. In some cases, CCRE Lending may determine that establishing an escrow or reserve is not warranted given the amounts that would be involved and CCRE Lending’s evaluation of the ability of the property, the borrower or a holder of direct or indirect ownership interests in the borrower to bear the subject expense or cost absent creation of an escrow or reserve. In some cases, CCRE Lending may determine that establishing an escrow or reserve is not warranted because a tenant or other third party has agreed to pay the subject cost or expense for which the escrow or reserve would otherwise have been established.

 

Generally, subject to the discussion in the prior paragraph, the required escrows for commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community mortgage loans originated by CCRE Lending are as follows:

 

Taxes—Monthly escrow deposits equal to 1/12th of the annual property taxes (based on the most recent property assessment and the current millage rate) are typically required to satisfy real estate taxes and assessments, except that such escrows are not required in certain circumstances, including, but not limited to, (i) if there is an institutional property sponsor or high net worth individual property sponsor, or (ii) if and to the extent that a sole or major tenant (which may include a ground tenant) at the related mortgaged property is required to pay taxes directly.

 

Insurance—Monthly escrow deposits equal to 1/12th of the annual property insurance premium are typically required to pay insurance premiums, except that such escrows are not required in certain circumstances, including, but not limited to, (i) if there is an institutional property sponsor or high net worth individual property sponsor, (ii) if the related borrower maintains a blanket insurance policy, or (iii) if and to the extent that a sole or major tenant (which may include a ground tenant) at the related mortgaged property is obligated to maintain the insurance or is permitted to self-insure.

 

Replacement Reserves—Replacement reserves are generally calculated in accordance with the expected useful life of the components of the property during the term of the mortgage loan. Annual replacement reserves are generally underwritten to the suggested replacement reserve amount from an independent, third-party property condition or engineering report, or to certain minimum requirements by property type, except that such escrows are not required in certain circumstances, including, but not limited to, (i) if a tenant (which may include a ground tenant) at the related mortgaged property or other third party is responsible for all repairs and maintenance, or (ii) if CCRE Lending determines that establishing an escrow or reserve is not warranted given the amounts that would be involved and CCRE Lending’s evaluation of the ability of the property, the borrower or a holder of direct or indirect ownership interests in the borrower to bear the cost of repairs and maintenance absent creation of an escrow or reserve.

 

Tenant Improvements / Leasing Commissions—In the case of retail, office and industrial properties, a tenant improvements / leasing commissions reserve may be required to be funded either at loan origination and/or during the related mortgage loan term to cover certain anticipated leasing commissions or tenant improvement costs which might be associated with re-leasing the space occupied by significant tenants, except that such escrows are not required in certain circumstances,

 

 310

 

 

including, but not limited to, (i) if the related tenant’s lease extends beyond the loan term, (ii) if the rent for the space in question is considered below market, or (iii) if CCRE Lending determines that establishing an escrow or reserve is not warranted given the amounts that would be involved and CCRE Lending’s evaluation of the ability of the property, the borrower or a holder of direct or indirect ownership interests in the borrower to bear the anticipated leasing commissions or tenant improvement costs absent creation of an escrow or reserve.

 

Deferred Maintenance—A deferred maintenance reserve may be required to be funded at loan origination in an amount typically equal to 100% to 125% of the estimated cost of material immediate repairs or replacements identified in the property condition or engineering report, except that such escrows are not required in certain circumstances, including, but not limited to, (i) if the sponsor of the borrower delivers a guarantee to complete the immediate repairs in a specified amount of time, (ii) if the deferred maintenance amount does not materially impact the function, performance or value of the property, (iii) if a tenant (which may include a ground tenant) at the related mortgaged property or other third party is responsible for the repairs, or (iv) if CCRE Lending determines that establishing an escrow or reserve is not warranted given the amounts that would be involved and CCRE Lending’s evaluation of the ability of the property, the borrower or a holder of direct or indirect ownership interests in the borrower to bear the cost of repairs absent creation of an escrow or reserve.

 

Environmental Remediation—An environmental remediation reserve may be required at loan origination in an amount typically equal to 100% to 125% of the estimated remediation cost identified in the environmental report, except that such escrows are not required in certain circumstances, including, but not limited to, (i) if the sponsor of the borrower delivers a guarantee agreeing to take responsibility and pay for the identified environmental issues, (ii) if environmental insurance is obtained or already in place, (iii) if a third party unrelated to the borrower is identified as the responsible party or (iv) if CCRE Lending determines that establishing an escrow or reserve is not warranted given the amounts that would be involved and CCRE Lending’s evaluation of the ability of the property, the borrower or a holder of direct or indirect ownership interests in the borrower to bear the cost of remediation absent creation of an escrow or reserve.

LCF is a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Delaware and an indirect subsidiary of Ladder Capital Finance Holdings LLLP (“Ladder Holdings”), a limited liability limited partnership organized under the laws of the State of Delaware. Series TRS of Ladder Capital Finance Holdings LLLP (“TRS LLLP”) and Series REIT of Ladder Capital Finance Holdings LLLP (“REIT LLLP”) are each a Delaware series of Ladder Holdings. Ladder Capital Corp. (NYSE: LADR) holds a controlling interest in Ladder Holdings.

 

Ladder Holdings commenced operations in October 2008. Ladder Holdings, together with its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including LCF, are collectively referred to in this prospectus as the “Ladder Capital Group”. The Ladder Capital Group is a vertically integrated, full-service commercial real estate finance and investment management company that primarily originates, underwrites, structures, acquires, manages and distributes commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community mortgage loans and other real estate debt instruments. The executive offices of the Ladder Capital Group are located at 345 Park Avenue, 8th Floor, New York, New York 10154. As of June 30, 2017, based on unaudited financial statements, Ladder Holdings and its consolidated subsidiaries had total assets of approximately $6,218,124,000, total liabilities of approximately $4,750,448,000 and total capital of approximately $1,467,676,000.

 

Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, the trustee, certificate administrator, custodian, 17g-5 information provider, certificate registrar and tax administrator with respect to this securitization, and certain third party lenders provide warehouse financing to affiliates of LCF (the “LCF Financing Affiliates”) through various repurchase facilities, borrowing base facilities or other financing arrangements. Some or all of the LCF Mortgage Loans are (or are expected to be prior to the Closing Date) subject to those financing arrangements. If such is the case at the time the certificates are issued, then LCF will use the proceeds from its sale of the LCF Mortgage Loans to the depositor to, among other things, acquire the warehoused LCF Mortgage Loans from the related LCF Financing Affiliates, and each related LCF Financing Affiliate will, in turn, use the funds that it receives from LCF to, among other things, reacquire or obtain the release of, as applicable, its warehoused LCF Mortgage Loans from the applicable repurchase agreement counterparty/lender free and clear of any liens.

 

 312

 

 

As of October 24, 2017, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association was not the repurchase agreement counterparty with respect to any LCF Mortgage Loans.

 

In addition, an affiliate of LCF is the borrower with respect to two LCF Mortgage Loans, identified on Annex A-1 as TransUnion Office Building and Dollar General Aroma Park, respectively, collectively representing approximately 0.9% of the Initial Pool Balance. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Conflicts of Interest—Interests and Incentives of the Originator and Sponsor and Its Affiliates May Not Be Aligned With Your Interests”.

 

Wells Fargo Bank, National Association acts as interim custodian (and, in the case of the 50 Varick Street Mortgage Loan, as custodian under the UBS 2017-C4 PSA) of the Mortgage Loan documents with respect to all of the LCF Mortgage Loans. On the Closing Date, servicing and administration of the 50 Varick Street Whole Loan will shift from the UBS 2017-C4 PSA to the PSA.

 

LCF and/or its affiliates may acquire certificates from time to time, including upon initial issuance or in the secondary market.

In connection with commercial mortgage securitization transactions in which it participates as a sponsor, LCF will generally transfer the subject mortgage loans to the applicable depositor, who will then transfer those mortgage loans to the issuing entity for the related securitization. In return for the transfer by the applicable depositor to the issuing entity of those mortgage loans (together with any other mortgage loans being securitized), the issuing entity will issue commercial mortgage pass-through certificates that are, in whole or in part, backed by, and supported by the cash flows generated by, the mortgage loans being securitized. In coordination with underwriters or initial purchasers and the applicable depositor, LCF works with rating agencies, other loan sellers, servicers and investors and participates in structuring a securitization transaction to maximize the overall value and capital structure, taking into account numerous factors, including without limitation geographic and property type diversity and rating agency criteria.

 

LCF will generally make certain representations and warranties and undertake certain loan document delivery requirements with respect to the mortgage loans that it contributes to a commercial mortgage securitization; and, in the event of an uncured material breach of any such representation and warranty or an uncured material document defect or omission, LCF will generally be obligated to repurchase or replace the affected mortgage loan or, in some cases, pay an amount estimated to cover the approximate loss associated with such breach, defect or omission. LCF has limited assets with which to effect any such repurchase or substitution or make any such estimated loss reimbursement payment. However, as is the case in this securitization, Ladder Holdings, TRS LLLP and REIT LLLP will often guarantee LCF’s payment obligations in connection with a repurchase or substitution of a defective mortgage loan resulting from, or the making of an estimated loss reimbursement payment related to, any such breach of representation or warranty or defective or missing loan documentation. Notwithstanding the existence of any such guarantee, no assurance can be provided that Ladder Holdings, TRS LLLP, REIT LLLP or LCF will have the financial ability to effect or cause a repurchase or substitution, or to make an estimated loss reimbursement payment with respect to, a defective mortgage loan, and no other member of the Ladder Capital Group will be responsible for doing so if Ladder Holdings, TRS LLLP, REIT LLLP and LCF fail with respect to their obligations.

 

 314

 

 

No member of the Ladder Capital Group acts as a servicer of the commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community mortgage loans that LCF or its affiliates originates, acquires or securitizes. Instead, LCF sells the right to be appointed servicer of its securitized loans to unaffiliated third party servicers and utilizes unaffiliated third party servicers as interim servicers. Wells Fargo Bank, National Association acts or has acted as interim servicer (and, in the case of the 50 Varick Street Mortgage Loan, as master servicer under the UBS 2017-C4 PSA) with respect to all of the LCF Mortgage Loans. On the Closing Date, servicing and administration of the 50 Varick Street Whole Loan will shift from the UBS 2017-C4 PSA to the PSA.

 

Ladder Capital Group’s Underwriting Guidelines and Processes

 

Each of the LCF Mortgage Loans was originated by LCF or one of its affiliates. Set forth below is a discussion of certain general underwriting guidelines and processes with respect to commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community mortgage loans originated or co-originated by LCF and its affiliates for securitization.

 

Notwithstanding the discussion below, given the unique nature of commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community mortgaged properties, the underwriting and origination procedures and the credit analysis with respect to any particular commercial, multifamily or manufactured housing community mortgage loan may significantly differ from one loan to another, and will be driven by circumstances particular to that property, including, among others, its type, current use, size, location, market conditions, reserve requirements and additional collateral, tenants and leases, borrower identity, sponsorship, performance history and/or other factors. Consequently, there can be no assurance that the underwriting of any particular commercial, multifamily or manufactured housing community mortgage loan originated by LCF or one of its affiliates will conform to the general guidelines and processes described below. For important information about the circumstances that have affected the underwriting of particular LCF Mortgage Loans, see “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Exceptions to Underwriting Guidelines” and “Annex D-2—Exceptions to Mortgage Loan Representations and Warranties”.

 

Loan Analysis. Generally both a credit analysis and a collateral analysis are conducted with respect to each commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community mortgage loan. The credit analysis of the borrower generally includes a review of third party credit reports or judgment, lien, bankruptcy and pending litigation searches. Such searches are limited in the time periods that they cover, and often cover no more than the prior 10-year period. Furthermore, in the case of equity holders in the borrowers, such searches would generally be conducted only as to equity holders with at least a 20% interest in the subject borrower or that control the subject borrower. The collateral analysis generally includes a review of, in each case to the extent available and applicable, the historical property operating statements, rent rolls and certain significant tenant leases. The credit underwriting also generally includes a review of third party appraisals, as well as environmental reports, engineering assessments and seismic reports, if applicable and obtained. Generally, the originator also conducts or causes a third party to conduct a site inspection to ascertain the overall quality, functionality and competitiveness of the property, including its neighborhood and market, accessibility and visibility, and to assess the tenancy of the property. The submarket in which the property is located is assessed to evaluate the competitive or comparable properties as well as market trends.

 

Loan Approval. Prior to commitment, each commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community mortgage loan to be originated must be approved by a loan committee that includes senior personnel from the Ladder Capital Group. The committee may approve

 

 315

 

 

a mortgage loan as recommended, request additional due diligence, modify the loan terms or decline a loan transaction.

 

Debt Service Coverage Ratio and Loan-to-Value Ratio. The underwriting includes a calculation of the debt service coverage ratio and loan-to-value ratio in connection with the origination of a loan. With respect to loans originated for securitization, the Ladder Capital Group’s underwriting standards generally require, without regard to any other debt, a debt service coverage ratio of not less than 1.20x and a loan-to-value ratio of not more than 80.0%.

 

A debt service coverage ratio will generally be calculated based on the underwritten net cash flow from the property in question as determined by the Ladder Capital Group and payments on the loan based on actual (or, in some cases, assumed) principal and/or interest due on the loan. However, underwritten net cash flow is often a highly subjective number based on a variety of assumptions regarding, and adjustments to, revenues and expenses with respect to the related real property collateral. For example, when calculating the debt service coverage ratio for a commercial, multifamily or manufactured housing community mortgage loan, annual net cash flow that was calculated based on assumptions regarding projected future rental income, expenses and/or occupancy may be utilized. There is no assurance that the foregoing assumptions made with respect to any prospective commercial, multifamily or manufactured housing community mortgage loan will, in fact, be consistent with actual property performance. Such underwritten net cash flow may be higher than historical net cash flow reflected in recent financial statements. Additionally, certain mortgage loans may provide for only interest payments prior to maturity, or for an interest-only period during a portion of the term of the mortgage loan. A loan-to-value ratio, in general, is the ratio, expressed as a percentage, of the then-outstanding principal balance of the mortgage loan divided by the estimated value of the related property based on an appraisal.

 

Additional Debt. Certain mortgage loans originated by LCF or one of its affiliates may have or permit in the future certain additional subordinate debt, whether secured or unsecured, and/or mezzanine debt. It is possible that a member of the Ladder Capital Group may be the lender on that additional subordinate debt and/or mezzanine debt.

 

The debt service coverage ratios described above will be lower based on the inclusion of the payments related to such additional debt and the loan-to-value ratios described above will be higher based on the inclusion of the amount of any such additional subordinate debt and/or mezzanine debt.

 

Assessments of Property Condition. As part of the underwriting process, the property assessments and reports described below will typically be obtained:

 

Appraisals. Independent appraisals or an update of an independent appraisal will generally be required in connection with the origination of each mortgage loan that meets the requirements of the “Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice” as adopted by the Appraisal Standards Board of the Appraisal Foundation, or the guidelines in Title XI of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989. In some cases, however, the value of the subject real property collateral may be established based on a cash flow analysis, a recent sales price or another method or benchmark of valuation.

 

Environmental Assessment. In most cases, a Phase I environmental assessment will be required with respect to the real property collateral for a prospective commercial, multifamily or manufactured housing community mortgage loan. However, when

 

 316

 

 

circumstances warrant, an update of a prior environmental assessment, a transaction screen or a desktop review may be utilized. Alternatively, in limited circumstances, an environmental assessment may not be required, such as when the benefits of an environmental insurance policy or an environmental guarantee have been obtained. Furthermore, an environmental assessment conducted at any particular real property collateral will not necessarily cover all potential environmental issues. For example, an analysis for radon, lead-based paint, mold and lead in drinking water will usually be conducted only at multifamily rental properties and only when the originator or an environmental consultant believes that such an analysis is warranted under the circumstances. Depending on the findings of the initial environmental assessment, any of the following may be required: additional environmental testing, such as a Phase II environmental assessment with respect to the subject real property collateral; an environmental insurance policy; that the borrower conduct remediation activities or establish an operations and maintenance plan; and/or a guaranty or reserve with respect to environmental matters.

 

Engineering Assessment. In connection with the origination process, in most cases, it will be required that an engineering firm inspect the real property collateral for any prospective commercial, multifamily or manufactured housing community mortgage loan to assess the structure, exterior walls, roofing, interior structure and/or mechanical and electrical systems. Based on the resulting report, the appropriate response will be determined to any recommended repairs, corrections or replacements and any identified deferred maintenance. An engineering assessment may not be conducted with respect to a mortgaged property that lacks material improvements owned by the related borrower.

 

Seismic Report. Generally, a seismic report is required for all properties located in seismic zones 3 or 4. A seismic study may not be conducted with respect to a mortgaged property that lacks material improvements owned by the related borrower.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, engineering inspections and seismic reports will generally not be required or obtained by the originator in connection with the origination process in the case of mortgage loans secured by real properties that are subject to a ground lease, triple-net lease or other long term lease, or in the case of mortgage loans that are not collateralized by any material improvements on the real property collateral.

 

Title Insurance. The borrower is required to provide, and the Ladder Capital Group or its origination counsel typically will review, a title insurance policy for each property. The title insurance policies provided typically must meet the following requirements: (i) written by a title insurer licensed to do business in the jurisdiction where the mortgaged property is located, (ii) in an amount at least equal to the original principal balance of the mortgage loan, (iii) protection and benefits run to the mortgagee and its successors and assigns, (iv) written on an American Land Title Association form or equivalent policy promulgated in the jurisdiction where the mortgaged property is located and (v) if a survey was prepared, the legal description of the mortgaged property in the title policy conforms to that shown on the survey.

 

Casualty Insurance. Except in certain instances where sole or significant tenants (which may include ground tenants) are permitted to obtain insurance or self-insure, or where another third party unrelated to the applicable borrower (such as a condominium association, franchisor or third party property manager, if applicable) is permitted to obtain insurance, or the subject mortgaged property is covered by a blanket policy (which may

 

 317

 

 

have been obtained by an affiliate of the related borrower), the Ladder Capital Group typically requires that the related mortgaged property be insured by a hazard insurance policy with a customary deductible and in an amount at least equal to the lesser of the outstanding principal balance of the mortgage loan and 100% of the full insurable replacement cost of the improvements located on the property. If applicable, the policy contains appropriate endorsements to avoid the application of coinsurance and does not permit reduction in insurance proceeds for depreciation, except that the policy may permit a deduction for depreciation in connection with a cash settlement after a casualty if the insurance proceeds are not being applied to rebuild or repair the damaged improvements.

 

Flood insurance, if available, must be in effect for any mortgaged property that at the time of origination included material borrower-owned improvements in any area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency a special flood hazard area. The flood insurance policy must meet the requirements of the then-current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration, be provided by a generally acceptable insurance carrier and be in an amount representing coverage not less than the least of (i) the outstanding principal balance of the mortgage loan, (ii) the full insurable value of the material borrower-owned improvements at the property or, in cases where only a portion of the property is in the flood zone, the full insurable value of the material borrower-owned improvements at the portion of the property contained therein, and (iii) the maximum amount of insurance available under the National Flood Insurance Program, except in some cases where self-insurance was permitted.

 

The standard form of hazard insurance policy typically covers physical damage or destruction of the improvements on the mortgaged property caused by fire, lightning, explosion, smoke, windstorm and hail, riot or strike and civil commotion. The policies may contain some conditions and exclusions to coverage, including exclusions related to acts of terrorism.

 

Generally, except in certain instances where sole or significant tenants (which may include ground tenants) are permitted to obtain insurance or self-insure, or where another third party unrelated to the applicable borrower (such as a condominium association, franchisor or third party property manager, if applicable) is permitted to obtain insurance, or the subject mortgaged property is covered by a blanket policy (which may have been obtained by an affiliate of the related borrower), each of the mortgage loans requires that the related borrower maintain: (i) coverage for terrorism or terrorist acts, if such coverage is available at commercially reasonable rates (although in many cases, there is a cap on the amount that the related borrower will be required to expend on terrorism insurance); (ii) comprehensive general liability insurance against claims for personal and bodily injury, death or property damage occurring on, in or about the property in an amount customarily required by institutional lenders; and (iii) business interruption or rent loss insurance in an amount not less than 100% of the projected rental income from the related property for not less than 12 months.

 

Although properties are typically not insured for earthquake risk, a borrower will be required to obtain earthquake insurance if the property has material improvements and the seismic report indicates that the probable maximum loss (“PML”) or scenario expected loss (“SEL”) is greater than 20%.

 

Zoning and Building Code Compliance. In connection with the origination of a commercial, multifamily or manufactured housing community mortgage loan, the originator will generally examine whether the use and occupancy of the related real property collateral is in material compliance with zoning, land-use, building rules, regulations and orders then applicable to that property. Evidence of this compliance may be in the form of one or more

 

 318

 

 

of the following: legal opinions, surveys, recorded documents, temporary or permanent certificates of occupancy, letters from government officials or agencies, title insurance endorsements, engineering or consulting reports, zoning reports and/or representations by the related borrower.

 

In some cases, a mortgaged property may constitute a legal non-conforming use or structure. In such cases, the Ladder Capital Group may require an endorsement to the title insurance policy or the acquisition of law and ordinance insurance or a non-recourse carveout in the related loan documents with respect to the particular non-conformity unless: (a) it determines that (i) the non-conformity should not have a material adverse effect on the ability of the borrower to rebuild, or (ii) if the improvements are rebuilt in accordance with currently applicable law, the value and performance of the property would be acceptable, or (iii) any major casualty that would prevent rebuilding has a sufficiently remote likelihood of occurring; or (b) a cash reserve, a letter of credit or an agreement from a principal of the borrower is provided to cover losses. In general, the Ladder Capital Group does not require zoning protection insurance.

 

If a material violation exists with respect to a mortgaged property, the Ladder Capital Group may require the borrower to remediate such violation and, subject to the discussion under “—Escrow Requirements” below, to establish a reserve to cover the cost of such remediation, unless a cash reserve, a letter of credit or an agreement from a principal of the borrower is provided to cover losses.

 

Escrow Requirements. Based on the originator’s analysis of the real property collateral, the borrower and the principals of the borrower, a borrower under a commercial, multifamily or manufactured housing community mortgage loan may be required to fund various escrows for taxes, insurance, replacement reserves, tenant improvements/leasing commissions (depending on the property type), deferred maintenance and/or environmental remediation. A case-by-case analysis will be conducted to determine the need for a particular escrow or reserve. Consequently, the aforementioned escrows and reserves are not established for every commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community mortgage loan originated by a member of the Ladder Capital Group. In certain cases, these reserves may be released to the borrower upon satisfaction of certain conditions in the related loan documents that may include, but are not limited to, achievement of leasing matters, achieving a specified debt service coverage ratio or debt yield or satisfying other conditions. Furthermore, the Ladder Capital Group may accept an alternative to a cash escrow or reserve from a borrower, such as a letter of credit or a guarantee from the borrower or an affiliate of the borrower or periodic evidence that the items for which the escrow or reserve would have been established are being paid or addressed. In some cases, the Ladder Capital Group may determine that establishing an escrow or reserve is not warranted given the amounts that would be involved and the Ladder Capital Group’s evaluation of the ability of the property, the borrower or a holder of direct or indirect ownership interests in the borrower to bear the subject expense or cost absent creation of an escrow or reserve. In some cases, the Ladder Capital Group may determine that establishing an escrow or reserve is not warranted because a tenant or other third party has agreed to pay the subject cost or expense for which the escrow or reserve would otherwise have been established.

 

Generally, subject to the discussion in the prior paragraph, the required escrows for commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community mortgage loans originated by the Ladder Capital Group are as follows:

 

Taxes—Monthly escrow deposits equal to 1/12th of the annual property taxes (based on the most recent property assessment and the current millage rate) are typically

 

 319

 

 

required to satisfy real estate taxes and assessments, except that such escrows are not required in certain circumstances, including, but not limited to, (i) if there is an institutional property sponsor or high net worth individual property sponsor, (ii) if and to the extent that a sole or major tenant (which may include a ground tenant) at the related mortgaged property is required to pay taxes directly or to reimburse the landlord/borrower for the payment of such taxes or to deliver to the landlord/borrower funds for purposes of paying such taxes in advance of their due date, (iii) in the case of a hospitality property, the franchisor or a third-party property manager is maintaining such an escrow or reserve or (iv) if a sponsor, a key principal or an affiliate of the borrower delivers a guarantee relating to the payment of real estate taxes.

 

Insurance—Monthly escrow deposits equal to 1/12th of the annual property insurance premium are typically required to pay insurance premiums, except that such escrows are not required in certain circumstances, including, but not limited to, (i) if there is an institutional property sponsor or high net worth individual property sponsor, (ii) if the related borrower or an affiliate maintains a blanket insurance policy covering the subject mortgaged property, (iii) if and to the extent that a sole or major tenant (which may include a ground tenant) at the related mortgaged property is permitted to maintain the insurance or to self-insure, (iv) if and to the extent that another third party unrelated to the applicable borrower (such as a condominium association, franchisor or third party property manager, if applicable) is permitted to maintain the insurance, (v) in the case of a hospitality property, the franchisor or a third-party property manager is maintaining such an escrow or reserve or (vi) if a sponsor, a key principal or an affiliate of the borrower delivers a guarantee relating to the payment of insurance premiums.

 

Replacement Reserves—Replacement reserves are generally calculated in accordance with the expected useful life of the components of the property during the term of the mortgage loan and may be required to be funded either at loan origination and/or during the related mortgage loan term and/or after the occurrence and during the continuance of a specified trigger event. Annual replacement reserves are generally underwritten to the suggested replacement reserve amount from an independent, third-party property condition or engineering report, or to certain minimum requirements by property type, except that such escrows are not required in certain circumstances, including, but not limited to, (i) if and to the extent a tenant (which may include a ground tenant) at the related mortgaged property or other third party is responsible for all repairs and maintenance, (ii) if a sponsor, a key principal or an affiliate of the borrower delivers a guarantee agreeing to take responsibility and pay for the related costs and expenses, (iii) if the Ladder Capital Group determines that establishing an escrow or reserve is not warranted given the amounts that would be involved and the Ladder Capital Group’s evaluation of the ability of the property, the borrower or a holder of direct or indirect ownership interests in the borrower to bear the cost of repairs and maintenance absent creation of an escrow or reserve, or (iv) in the case of a hospitality property, the franchisor or a third-party property manager is maintaining such an escrow or reserve.

 

Tenant Improvements / Leasing Commissions—In the case of retail, office and industrial properties, a tenant improvements / leasing commissions reserve may be required to be funded either at loan origination and/or during the related mortgage loan term and/or after the occurrence and during the continuance of a specified trigger event to cover certain anticipated leasing commissions or tenant improvement costs which might be associated with re-leasing the space occupied by

 

 320

 

 

significant tenants, except that such escrows are not required in certain circumstances, including, but not limited to, (i) if the related tenant’s lease extends beyond the loan term, (ii) if a sponsor, a key principal or an affiliate of the borrower delivers a guarantee agreeing to take responsibility and pay for the related costs and expenses, (iii) if the rent for the space in question is considered below market, or (iv) if the Ladder Capital Group determines that establishing an escrow or reserve is not warranted given the amounts that would be involved and the Ladder Capital Group’s evaluation of the ability of the property, the borrower or a holder of direct or indirect ownership interests in the borrower to bear the anticipated leasing commissions or tenant improvement costs absent creation of an escrow or reserve.

 

Deferred Maintenance—A deferred maintenance reserve may be required to be funded at loan origination in an amount typically equal to 100% to 125% of the estimated cost of material immediate repairs or replacements identified in the property condition or engineering report, except that such escrows are not required in certain circumstances, including, but not limited to, (i) if the sponsor, a key principal or an affiliate of the borrower delivers a guarantee to complete the immediate repairs in a specified amount of time, (ii) if the deferred maintenance amount does not materially impact the function, performance or value of the property, (iii) if a tenant (which may include a ground tenant) at the related mortgaged property or other third party is responsible for the repairs, or (iv) if the Ladder Capital Group determines that establishing an escrow or reserve is not warranted given the amounts that would be involved and the Ladder Capital Group’s evaluation of the ability of the property, the borrower or a holder of direct or indirect ownership interests in the borrower to bear the cost of repairs absent creation of an escrow or reserve.

 

Environmental Remediation—An environmental remediation reserve may be required at loan origination in an amount typically equal to 100% to 125% of the estimated remediation cost identified in the environmental report, except that such escrows are not required in certain circumstances, including, but not limited to, (i) if the sponsor, a key principal or an affiliate of the borrower delivers a guarantee agreeing to take responsibility and pay for the identified environmental issues, (ii) if environmental insurance is obtained or already in place, (iii) if a third party unrelated to the borrower is identified as the responsible party or (iv) if the Ladder Capital Group determines that establishing an escrow or reserve is not warranted given the amounts that would be involved and the Ladder Capital Group’s evaluation of the ability of the property, the borrower or a holder of direct or indirect ownership interests in the borrower to bear the cost of remediation absent creation of an escrow or reserve.

Review of LCF Mortgage Loans

 

Overview. LCF has conducted a review of the LCF Mortgage Loans in connection with the securitization described in this prospectus. The review of the LCF Mortgage Loans was performed by a team comprised of real estate and securitization professionals who are employees of Ladder Capital Group (the “Ladder Capital Review Team”). The review procedures described below were employed with respect to all of the LCF Mortgage Loans, except that certain review procedures only were relevant to the large loan disclosures in this prospectus. No sampling procedures were used in the review process.

 

Database. To prepare for securitization, members of the Ladder Capital Review Team created a database of loan-level and property-level information, and prepared an asset summary report, relating to each LCF Mortgage Loan. The database and the respective asset summary reports were compiled from, among other sources, the related loan documents, appraisals, environmental assessment reports, property condition reports, seismic studies, zoning reports, insurance review summaries, borrower-supplied information (including, but not limited to, rent rolls, leases, operating statements and budgets) and information collected by the Ladder Capital Review Team during the underwriting process. After origination of each LCF Mortgage Loan, the Ladder Capital Review Team updated the information in the database and the related asset summary report with respect to such LCF Mortgage Loan based on updates provided by the related servicer relating to loan payment status and escrows, updated operating statements, rent rolls and leasing activity, and information otherwise brought to the attention of the Ladder Capital Review Team.

 

A data tape (the “LCF Data Tape”) containing detailed information regarding each LCF Mortgage Loan was created from the information in the database referred to in the prior paragraph. The LCF Data Tape was used to provide the numerical information regarding the LCF Mortgage Loans in this prospectus.

 

Data Comparisons and Recalculation. The depositor, on behalf of LCF, engaged a third party accounting firm to perform certain data comparison and recalculation procedures designed by LCF, relating to information in this prospectus regarding the LCF Mortgage Loans. These procedures included:
 

comparing the information in the LCF Data Tape against various source documents provided by LCF;

 

comparing numerical information regarding the LCF Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgaged Properties disclosed in this prospectus against the LCF Data Tape; and

 

recalculating certain percentages, ratios and other formulae relating to the LCF Mortgage Loans disclosed in this prospectus.

 

Legal Review. The Ladder Capital Group engaged various law firms to conduct certain legal reviews of the LCF Mortgage Loans for disclosure in this prospectus. In anticipation of the securitization of the LCF Mortgage Loans, the Ladder Capital Group’s origination counsel for each LCF Mortgage Loan reviewed securitization representations and warranties presented to them by LCF and, if applicable, identified exceptions to those representations and warranties.

 

Legal counsel was also engaged in connection with this securitization to assist in the review of the LCF Mortgage Loans. Such assistance included, among other things, (i) a review of the Ladder Capital Group’s credit memo or asset summary report or a draft thereof for each LCF Mortgage Loan with a Cut-off Date Balance of $10 million or more, 

 

 322

 

 

(ii) a review of a due diligence questionnaire regarding the LCF Mortgage Loans prepared by the Ladder Capital Group, (iii) a review of various statistical data tapes prepared by the Ladder Capital Group, (iv) a review of the representation and warranty exception reports referred to above relating to certain of the LCF Mortgage Loans prepared by origination counsel, and (v) the review of select provisions in certain loan documents with respect to certain of the LCF Mortgage Loans.

 

Origination counsel or securitization counsel also assisted in the preparation of the individual LCF Mortgage Loan summaries set forth on Annex A-3 to this prospectus based on their respective reviews of the related asset summary reports and the pertinent sections of the related Mortgage Loan documents.

 

Other Review Procedures. With respect to any material pending litigation of which the Ladder Capital Group was aware at the origination of any LCF Mortgage Loan, the Ladder Capital Group requested updates from the related borrower, origination counsel and/or borrower’s litigation counsel. If the Ladder Capital Group became aware of a significant natural disaster in the vicinity of the Mortgaged Property securing any LCF Mortgage Loan, the Ladder Capital Group obtained information on the status of the Mortgaged Property from the related borrower to confirm no material damage to the Mortgaged Property.

 

The Ladder Capital Review Team also reviewed the LCF Mortgage Loans to determine, with the assistance of counsel engaged in connection with this securitization, whether any LCF Mortgage Loan materially deviated from the underwriting guidelines described under “—Ladder Capital Group’s Underwriting Guidelines and Processes” above.

 

Findings and Conclusions. Based on the foregoing review procedures, Ladder Capital Group determined that the disclosure regarding the LCF Mortgage Loans in this prospectus is accurate in all material respects. Ladder Capital Group also determined that none of the LCF Mortgage Loans were originated with any material exceptions to Ladder Capital Group’s origination procedures and underwriting criteria described under “—Ladder Capital Group’s Underwriting Guidelines and Processes” above, except as described under “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Exceptions to Underwriting Guidelines”. LCF attributes to itself all findings and conclusions resulting from the foregoing review procedures.

 

Review Procedures in the Event of a Mortgage Loan Substitution. The Ladder Capital Group will perform a review of any mortgage loan that it elects to substitute for a LCF Mortgage Loan in the pool in connection with material breach of a representation or warranty or a material document defect. The Ladder Capital Group, and if appropriate its legal counsel, will review the mortgage loan documents and servicing history of the substitute mortgage loan to confirm it meets each of the criteria required under the terms of the related mortgage loan purchase agreement and the related pooling and servicing agreement (the “Qualification Criteria”). The Ladder Capital Group will engage a third party accounting firm to compare the Qualification Criteria against the underlying source documentation to verify the accuracy of the review by the Ladder Capital Group and to confirm any numerical and/or statistical information to be disclosed in any required filings under the Exchange Act. Legal counsel will also be engaged by the Ladder Capital Group to render any tax opinion required in connection with the substitution.

NREC’s Commercial Real Estate Securitization Program

 

One of NREC’s primary businesses is the underwriting and origination of mortgage loans secured by commercial or multifamily properties for NREC’s securitization program. NREC, together with its commercial mortgage lending affiliates and predecessors, began originating commercial mortgage loans for securitization in 1999 and securitizing commercial mortgage loans in the same year. As of July 17, 2017, the total amount of commercial mortgage loans originated by NREC and its predecessors is in excess of $40.4 billion and the total amount of these loans that were securitized is in excess of $20.7 billion.

 

The commercial mortgage loans originated by NREC include both fixed- and floating-rate loans. NREC primarily originates loans secured by retail, office, multifamily, hospitality, industrial and self-storage properties, but also originates loans secured by manufactured housing communities, theaters, land subject to a ground lease and mixed use properties. NREC originates loans throughout the United States.

 

NREC originates or acquires, including from its own affiliates, mortgage loans and, together with other sponsors or loan sellers, participates in the securitization of those loans by transferring them to a depositor, which in turn transfers them to the issuing entity for the securitization. In coordination with Natixis Securities Americas LLC, and with other underwriters, NREC works with rating agencies, investors, loan sellers and servicers in structuring the securitization transaction. NREC currently acts as sponsor and mortgage loan seller in transactions in which other entities act as sponsors, loan sellers and/or depositors. Neither NREC nor any of its affiliates currently act as servicer of the mortgage loans in its securitizations.

 

Pursuant to an MLPA, NREC will make certain representations and warranties, subject to certain exceptions set forth therein (and attached as Annex D-2), to the depositor and will covenant to provide certain documents regarding the Mortgage Loans it is selling to the depositor (the “NREC Mortgage Loans”) and, in connection with certain breaches of such representations and warranties or certain defects with respect to such documents, which breaches or defects are determined to have a material adverse effect on the value of the subject NREC Mortgage Loan or such other standard as is described in the related MLPA, may have an obligation to repurchase such Mortgage Loan, cure the subject defect or breach, substitute another mortgage loan or make a Loss of Value Payment, as the case may be. The depositor will assign its rights under each MLPA to the issuing entity. In addition, NREC has agreed to indemnify the depositor, the Underwriter Entities and certain of their respective affiliates with respect to certain liabilities arising in connection with the issuance and sale of the certificates.

 

Review of NREC Mortgage Loans

 

Overview. NREC, in its capacity as the sponsor of the NREC Mortgage Loans, has conducted a review of the NREC Mortgage Loans in connection with the securitization described in this prospectus. The review of the NREC Mortgage Loans was performed by a deal team comprised of real estate and securitization professionals who are employees of one or more of NREC’s affiliates (the “NREC Deal Team”). The review procedures described below were employed with respect to all of the NREC Mortgage Loans, except that certain review procedures only were relevant to the large loan disclosures in this prospectus, as further described below. No sampling procedures were used in the review process.

 

Database. To prepare for securitization, members of the NREC Deal Team created a database of loan-level and property-level information relating to each NREC Mortgage Loan. The database was compiled from, among other sources, the related Mortgage Loan

 

 325

 

 

documents, third party reports, zoning reports, insurance policies, borrower supplied information (including, but not limited to, rent rolls, leases, operating statements and budgets) and information collected by the NREC originators during the underwriting process. After origination of each NREC Mortgage Loan, the NREC Deal Team updated the information in the database with respect to the NREC Mortgage Loan based on updates provided by the related servicer relating to loan payment status and escrows, updated operating statements, rent rolls and leasing activity, and information otherwise brought to the attention of the NREC Deal Team.

 

A data tape (the “NREC Data Tape”) containing detailed information regarding each NREC Mortgage Loan was created from the information in the database referred to in the prior paragraph. The NREC Data Tape was used by the NREC Deal Team to provide certain numerical information regarding the NREC Mortgage Loans in this prospectus.

 

Data Comparison and Recalculation. The depositor, on behalf of NREC, engaged a third party accounting firm to perform certain data comparison and recalculation procedures designed by NREC, relating to information in this prospectus regarding the NREC Mortgage Loans. These procedures included:

 

comparing certain information in the NREC Data Tape against various source documents provided by NREC that are described above under “—Database”;

 

comparing numerical information regarding the NREC Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgaged Properties disclosed in this prospectus against the information contained in the NREC Data Tape; and

 

recalculating certain percentages, ratios and other formulae relating to the NREC Mortgage Loans disclosed in this prospectus.

 

Legal Review. NREC engaged various law firms to conduct certain legal reviews of the NREC Mortgage Loans for disclosure in this prospectus. In anticipation of the securitization of each NREC Mortgage Loan, origination counsel prepared a loan and property summary that sets forth salient loan terms and summarizes material deviations from NREC’s standard form loan documents. In addition, origination counsel for each NREC Mortgage Loan reviewed NREC’s representations and warranties set forth on Annex D-1 and, if applicable, identified exceptions to those representations and warranties.

 

Securitization counsel was also engaged to assist in the review of the NREC Mortgage Loans. Such assistance included, among other things, (i) a review of sections of the loan agreement relating to certain NREC Mortgage Loans marked against the standard form document, (ii) a review of the loan and property summaries referred to above relating to the NREC Mortgage Loans prepared by origination counsel, and (iii) a review of a due diligence questionnaire completed by the NREC Deal Team. Securitization counsel also reviewed the property release provisions, if any, for each NREC Mortgage Loan with multiple Mortgaged Properties for compliance with the REMIC provisions. In addition, for each NREC Mortgage Loan originated by NREC or its affiliates, NREC prepared and delivered to its securitization counsel for review an asset summary, which summary includes important loan terms and certain property level information obtained during the origination process.

 

Other Review Procedures. With respect to any pending litigation that existed at the origination of any NREC Mortgage Loan, NREC requested updates from the related borrower, origination counsel and/or borrower’s litigation counsel. NREC conducted a search with respect to each borrower under a NREC Mortgage Loan to determine whether it filed for bankruptcy after origination of the NREC Mortgage Loan. If NREC became aware of a

 

 326

 

 

significant natural disaster in the vicinity of any Mortgaged Property securing a NREC Mortgage Loan, NREC obtained information on the status of the Mortgaged Property from the related borrower to confirm no material damage to the Mortgaged Property.

 

The NREC Deal Team also consulted with the NREC originators to confirm that the NREC Mortgage Loans were originated in compliance with the origination and underwriting criteria, as well as to identify any material deviations from those origination and underwriting criteria, described under “—NREC’s Underwriting Standards—Exceptions” below.

 

Findings and Conclusions. Based on the foregoing review procedures, NREC determined that the disclosure regarding the NREC Mortgage Loans in this prospectus is accurate in all material respects. NREC also determined that the NREC Mortgage Loans were originated in accordance with NREC’s origination procedures and underwriting criteria. NREC attributes to itself all findings and conclusions resulting from the foregoing review procedures.

 

NREC’s Underwriting Standards

 

General. Mortgage Loans originated by NREC generally are originated in accordance with the underwriting guidelines described below. Each lending situation is unique, however, and the facts and circumstances that surround a mortgage loan, such as the type, quality and location of the real estate, the sponsorship of the borrower and the tenancy of the property, will impact the extent to which the guidelines below are applied to a specific loan. The underwriting criteria are general and, in many cases, exceptions to one or more of the guidelines may be approved. For example, if a mortgage loan exhibits any one of the following characteristics, variances from the general guidelines described below may be considered acceptable under the circumstances: (i) low loan-to-value ratio; (ii) high debt service coverage ratio; (iii) experienced sponsor(s)/guarantor(s) with financial wherewithal; (iv) additional springing reserves; (v) cash flow sweeps; and (vi) elements of recourse included in the mortgage loan. Accordingly, no representation is made that every mortgage loan will comply in all respects with the guidelines described below.

 

Loan Analysis. The NREC credit underwriting team for each mortgage loan is required to conduct a review of the related mortgaged property, generally including an analysis of the historical property operating statements, rent rolls, current and historical real estate taxes, and a review of tenant leases. The credit of the borrower and certain key principals of the borrower are examined for financial strength and character. This analysis generally includes a review of historical financial statements, which are generally unaudited, historical income tax returns of the borrower and its principals, third-party credit reports, and judgment, lien, bankruptcy and pending litigation searches. Depending on the type of real property involved and other relevant circumstances, the credit of key tenants also may be examined as part of the underwriting process. Generally, a member of the NREC underwriting team visits the property for a site inspection to ascertain the overall quality and competitiveness of the property, including its physical attributes, neighborhood and market, accessibility, visibility and other demand generators.

 

Loan Approval. Prior to commitment, all mortgage loans to be originated by NREC must be approved by a loan committee comprised of senior real estate professionals from NREC and its affiliates. The loan committee may either approve a mortgage loan as recommended, request additional due diligence, modify the terms of a mortgage loan, or reject a mortgage loan.

 

Debt Service Coverage Ratio and Loan-to-Value Ratio. NREC’s underwriting guidelines generally require a debt service coverage ratio that is not less than 1.20x and a loan-to-value ratio that does not exceed 80%. However, exceptions to these guidelines may be

 

 327

 

 

approved based on the characteristics of the mortgage loan in question. For example, NREC may originate a mortgage loan with a lower debt service coverage ratio or a higher loan-to-value ratio based on the types of tenants and leases at the subject real property, the taking of additional collateral such as reserves, letters of credit and/or guarantees, NREC’s judgment of improved property performance in the future and/or other relevant factors. With respect to certain mortgage loans originated by NREC, there may exist subordinate debt secured by the related mortgaged property and/or mezzanine debt secured by direct or indirect ownership interests in the borrower. Such mortgage loans may have a lower debt service coverage ratio, and a higher loan-to-value ratio, if such subordinate or mezzanine debt is taken into account.

 

The debt service coverage ratio guidelines set forth above are calculated based on underwritten net cash flow at origination. Therefore, the debt service coverage ratio for each Mortgage Loan as reported in this prospectus, and in Annex A-1, Annex A-2 and Annex A-3, may differ from the amount calculated at the time of origination. In addition, NREC’s underwriting guidelines generally permit a maximum amortization period of 30 years. However, certain mortgage loans originated by NREC may provide for interest-only payments prior to maturity, or for an interest-only period during a portion of the term of the mortgage loan. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool” in this prospectus.

 

Escrow Requirements. NREC often requires a borrower to fund various escrows for taxes and insurance, and may also require reserves for deferred maintenance, re-tenanting expenses and capital expenses, in some cases only during periods when certain debt service coverage ratio tests are not satisfied. In some cases, NREC may determine that establishing an escrow or reserve is not warranted given the amounts that would be involved and NREC’s evaluation of the ability of the property, the borrower or a holder of direct or indirect ownership interests in the borrower to bear the subject expense or cost absent creation of an escrow or reserve. In some cases, the borrower is permitted to post a letter of credit or guaranty, or provide periodic evidence that the items for which the escrow or reserve would have been established are being paid or addressed, in lieu of funding a given reserve or escrow. NREC conducts a case-by-case analysis to determine the need for a particular escrow or reserve. Consequently, the aforementioned escrows and reserves are not established for every multifamily and commercial mortgage loan originated by NREC.

 

Generally, NREC requires escrows as follows:

 

Taxes—An initial deposit and monthly escrow deposits equal to 1/12th of the annual property taxes (based on the most recent property assessment and the current millage rate) are typically required to satisfy all taxes and assessments, except that such escrows are not required in certain circumstances, including, but not limited to, (i) if there is an institutional sponsor or the sponsor is a high net worth individual, (ii) if and to the extent that a single or major tenant (which may be a ground tenant) at the related mortgaged property is required to pay taxes directly, or (iii) in the case of a hospitality property, the franchisor or a third-party property manager is maintaining such an escrow.

 

Insurance—An initial deposit and monthly escrow deposits equal to 1/12th of the annual property insurance premium are typically required to pay all insurance premiums, except that such escrows are not required in certain circumstances, including, but not limited to, (i) if the related borrower maintains a blanket insurance policy, (ii) if and to the extent that a single or major tenant (which may be a ground tenant) at the related mortgaged property is obligated to maintain the insurance or is permitted to self-insure, (iii) if and to the extent that another third party unrelated to the applicable borrower (such as a condominium board, if

 

 328

 

 

applicable) is obligated to maintain the insurance, or (iv) in the case of a hospitality property, the franchisor or a third-party property manager is maintaining such an escrow.

 

Replacement Reserves—Replacement reserves are generally calculated in accordance with the expected useful life of the components of the mortgaged property during the term of the mortgage loan and may be required to be funded either at loan origination and/or during the related mortgage loan term and/or after the occurrence and during the continuance of a specified trigger event. Annual replacement reserves are generally underwritten to the suggested replacement reserve amount from an independent, third-party property condition or engineering report, or to certain minimum requirements depending on the property type, except that such escrows are not required in certain circumstances, including, but not limited to,(i) if and to the extent that a single or major tenant (which may be a ground tenant) at the related mortgaged property is responsible for all repairs and maintenance, including those required with respect to the roof and structure of the improvements or (ii) in the case of a hospitality property, the franchisor or a third-party property manager is maintaining such an escrow.

 

Tenant Improvement/Leasing Commissions—In the case of retail, office and industrial properties, a tenant improvement/leasing commission reserve may be required to be funded either at loan origination or during the term of the mortgage loan to cover anticipated leasing commissions or tenant improvement costs that might be associated with re-leasing certain space involving major tenants, except that such escrows are not required in certain circumstances, including, but not limited to, if (i) the tenant’s lease extends beyond the loan term, (ii) the rent for the space in question is considered below market, or (iii) if a sponsor, a key principal or an affiliate of the borrower delivers a guarantee agreeing to take responsibility and pay for the related costs and expenses.

 

Deferred Maintenance—A deferred maintenance reserve may be required to be funded at loan origination in an amount equal to 125% of the estimated cost of material immediate repairs or replacements identified in the property condition report, except that such escrows are not required in certain circumstances, including, but not limited to, (i) if the sponsor of the borrower delivers a guarantee to complete the immediate repairs in a specified amount of time, (ii) if the deferred maintenance amount does not materially impact the related mortgaged property’s function, performance or value, or (iii) if a single or major tenant (which may be a ground tenant) at the related mortgaged property is responsible for the repairs.

 

Environmental Remediation—An environmental remediation reserve may be required to be funded at loan origination in an amount equal to 100% to 125% of the estimated remediation cost identified in the environmental report, except that such escrows are not required in certain circumstances, including, but not limited to, (i) if the sponsor of the borrower delivers a guarantee wherein it agrees to take responsibility and pay for the identified environmental issues, (ii) if environmental insurance is obtained or already in place, or (iii) if a third party unrelated to the borrower is identified as the responsible party.

 

For a description of the escrows collected with respect to the NREC Mortgage Loans, please see Annex A-1.

 

Third Party Reports. In addition to, or as part of applicable origination guidelines or reviews described above, in the course of originating the NREC Mortgage Loans, NREC

 

 329

 

 

generally considered the results of third party reports as described below. In many instances, however, one or more provisions of the guidelines were waived or modified in light of the circumstances of the relevant loan or property.

 

Appraisals—NREC’s underwriting guidelines generally require an independent appraisal of the subject property in connection with the origination of a mortgage loan, and that such appraisal be performed by a certified appraiser who is certified within the state in which the property is located. In addition, the guidelines require that those appraisals comply with the requirements of the Federal Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989.

 

Environmental Assessments—NREC may require a Phase I environmental assessment with respect to the real property for a prospective multifamily or commercial mortgage loan. However, when circumstances warrant, NREC may utilize an update of a prior environmental assessment, a transaction screen or a desktop review. Alternatively, NREC might forego an environmental assessment in limited circumstances, such as when it has obtained the benefits of an environmental insurance policy or an environmental guarantee. Furthermore, an environmental assessment conducted at any particular real property will not necessarily cover all potential environmental issues. For example, an analysis for radon, lead-based paint and lead in drinking water may be conducted only at multifamily rental properties and only when NREC or the environmental consultant believes that special circumstances warrant such an analysis. Depending on the findings of the initial environmental assessment, NREC may require additional record searches or environmental testing, such as a Phase II environmental assessment with respect to the subject real property.

 

Engineering Assessment—In connection with the origination process, NREC may require that an engineering firm inspect the real property for any prospective multifamily or commercial mortgage loan to assess the structure, exterior walls, roofing, interior structure and/or mechanical and electrical systems. Based on the resulting report, NREC will determine the appropriate response, if any, to any recommended repairs, corrections or replacements and any identified deferred maintenance.

 

Seismic Report—Generally, a seismic report is required for all mortgaged properties located in seismic zones 3 or 4.

 

Zoning and Building Code Compliance. In connection with the origination process, NREC generally examines whether the use and operation of the subject properties are in material compliance with zoning and land-use related ordinances, rules, regulations and orders applicable to the use of the mortgaged property. Evidence of this compliance may be in the form of one or more of the following: legal opinions, surveys, recorded documents, temporary or permanent certificates of occupancy, letters from government officials or agencies, title insurance endorsements, engineering or consulting reports, and/or representations by the related borrower.

 

Where a mortgaged property as currently operated is a permitted non-conforming use and/or the structure and the improvements may not be rebuilt to the same dimensions or used in the same manner in the event of a major casualty, NREC will consider whether—

 

any major casualty that would prevent rebuilding has a sufficiently remote likelihood of occurring;

 

 330

 

 

casualty insurance proceeds together with the value of any additional collateral would be available in an amount estimated by NREC to be sufficient to pay off the related mortgage loan in full;

 

the real property collateral, if permitted to be repaired or restored in conformity with current law, would in NREC’s judgment constitute adequate security for the related mortgage loan;

 

whether a variance or other similar change in applicable zoning restrictions is potentially available, or whether the applicable governing entity is likely to enforce the related limitations; and/or

 

to require the related borrower to obtain law and ordinance insurance.

 

Exceptions. Except as set forth above under “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Exceptions to Underwriting Guidelines”, the NREC Mortgage Loans were originated in accordance with the underwriting guidelines set forth above.

 

Compliance with Rule 15Ga-1 under the Exchange Act

 

NREC most recently filed a Form ABS-15G with the SEC pursuant to Rule 15Ga-1 under the SEC on October 18, 2017. NREC’s Central Index Key number is 0001542256.

Société Générale

 

General

 

Société Générale, a French limited liability company (société anonyme) authorized as a bank, acting through its New York Branch (“Société Générale”), is a sponsor and mortgage loan seller in this transaction. The principal offices of Société Générale in the United States are located at 245 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10167, and its telephone number is (212) 278 6461. Société Générale is an affiliate of SG Americas Securities, LLC, one of the underwriters.

 

Société Générale’s Commercial Mortgage Securitization Program

 

Société Générale has been engaged in commercial mortgage securitization in the United States since January 2015, although it was also engaged in mortgage securitization businesses prior to 2009. The vast majority of mortgage loans originated by Société Générale’s commercial real estate securitization business line are intended to be either sold through securitization transactions in which Société Générale acts as a sponsor or sold to third parties in individual loan sale transactions. Other business lines within Société Générale may from time to time engage in the business of making commercial real estate loans that are not originated for the purposes of securitization and that may in fact be held by Société Générale through maturity. The following is a general description of the types of mortgage loans related to commercial real estate that Société Générale’s commercial real estate securitization team originates for securitization purposes:

 

Fixed rate mortgage loans generally having maturities between five and ten years and generally secured by commercial real estate such as office, retail, hospitality, multifamily, residential, healthcare, self storage and industrial properties. These loans are Société Générale’s commercial real estate securitization team’s principal loan product and are primarily originated for the purpose of securitization.

 

Floating rate loans generally having shorter maturities and secured by stabilized and non-stabilized commercial real estate properties. These loans are primarily originated for securitization, though in certain cases only a senior interest in the loan is intended to be securitized.

 

Subordinate mortgage loans and mezzanine loans. These loans are generally not originated for securitization by Société Générale and are sold in individual loan sale transactions.

 

In general, Société Générale does not hold the loans that its commercial real estate securitization team originates until maturity.

 

 333

 

 

Société Générale originates mortgage loans and initiates a securitization transaction by selecting the portfolio of mortgage loans to be securitized and transferring those mortgage loans to a securitization depositor who in turn transfers those mortgage loans to the issuing trust fund. In selecting a portfolio to be securitized, consideration is given to geographic concentration, property type concentration and rating agency models and criteria, such that the overall value and capital structure is maximized for the benefit of Société Générale.

 

Société Générale’s role may also include engaging third-party service providers such as the master servicer, the special servicer, the trustee and the certificate administrator, and engaging the rating agencies. In coordination with the underwriters for the related offering, Société Générale works with rating agencies, investors, mortgage loan sellers and servicers in structuring the securitization transaction.

 

Neither Société Générale nor any of its affiliates act as servicer of the mortgage loans in its securitization transactions it participates in. Instead, other entities will be contracted to service the mortgage loans in such securitization transactions.

 

Société Générale sold mortgage loans into securitizations until 2009 and resumed this activity with the WFCM 2015-SG1 transaction. For the period beginning in January 2015 through September 30, 2017, Société Générale has securitized 129 fixed rate commercial mortgage loans with an aggregate original principal balance of approximately $2.8 billion.

 

Société Générale’s Underwriting Standards

 

Each of the Mortgage Loans originated by Société Générale (“Société Générale Mortgage Loans”) was generally originated or co-originated in accordance with the underwriting criteria described below. Each lending situation is unique, however, and the facts and circumstances surrounding a particular mortgage loan, such as the quality and location of the real estate collateral, the sponsorship of the borrower and the tenancy of the collateral, will impact the extent to which the general guidelines below are applied to that specific loan. These underwriting criteria are general, and Société Générale cannot assure you that every loan will comply in all respects with the guidelines. Société Générale’s commercial real estate securitization business line originates mortgage loans principally for securitization. Commercial real estate loans originated by other business lines within Société Générale for purposes other than securitization are not required to be originated in accordance with the underwriting criteria described below.

 

General. Société Générale originates mortgage loans for securitization from its U.S. headquarters in New York, New York. Bankers within the origination group focus on sourcing, structuring, underwriting and performing due diligence on their loans. Bankers within the structured finance group work closely with the loans’ originators to ensure that the loans are suitable for securitization and satisfy rating agency criteria. All mortgage loans must be approved by at least one or more members of Société Générale’s credit committee, depending on the size of the mortgage loan.

 

Loan Analysis. Generally, Société Générale performs both a credit analysis and collateral analysis with respect to a loan applicant and the real estate that will secure a mortgage loan. In general, the analysis of a borrower includes a review of money laundering and background checks and the analysis of its sponsor includes a review of money laundering and background checks, third-party credit reports, bankruptcy and lien searches, general banking references and commercial mortgage related references. In general, the analysis of the collateral includes a site visit and a review of the property’s historical operating statements (if available), independent market research, an appraisal with an emphasis on rental and sales comparables, engineering and environmental reports,

 

 334

 

 

the property’s historic and current occupancy, financial strengths of tenants, the duration and terms of tenant leases and the use of the property. Each report is reviewed for acceptability by a real estate finance officer of Société Générale. The borrower’s and property manager’s experience and presence in the subject market are also reviewed. Consideration is also given to anticipated changes in cash flow that may result from changes in lease terms or market considerations.

 

Borrowers are generally required to be single purpose entities although they are generally not required to be structured to limit the possibility of becoming insolvent or bankrupt unless the loan has a principal balance of greater than $30 million, in which case additional limitations including the requirement that the borrower have at least one independent director are required.

 

Loan Approval. All mortgage loans originated by Société Générale must be approved by at least one real estate finance credit officer and the head of commercial real estate securitization. Prior to closing loans, a credit memorandum is produced and delivered to the credit committee. If deemed appropriate a member of the real estate credit department will visit the subject property. The credit committee may approve a mortgage loan as recommended, request additional due diligence, modify the loan terms or decline a loan transaction.

 

Property Analysis. Prior to origination of a loan, Société Générale typically performs, or causes to be performed, site inspections at each property. Depending on the property type, such inspections generally include an evaluation of one or more of the following: functionality, design, attractiveness, visibility and accessibility of the property as well as proximity to major thoroughfares, transportation centers, employment sources, retail areas, educational facilities and recreational areas. Such inspections generally assess the submarket in which the property is located, which may include evaluating competitive or comparable properties.

 

Appraisal and Loan-to-value Ratio. Société Générale typically obtains an appraisal that complies, or is certified by the appraiser to comply, with the real estate appraisal regulations issued jointly by the federal bank regulatory agencies under the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practices as amended from time to time. The loan-to-value ratio of the mortgage loan is generally based on the “as-is” value set forth in the appraisal. In certain cases, the loan-to-value ratio of the mortgage loan is based on the “as-complete” or “as-stabilized” value set forth in the appraisal. In certain cases, an updated appraisal is obtained.

 

Debt Service Coverage Ratio and Loan-to-value Ratio. Société Générale’s underwriting standards generally mandate minimum debt service coverage ratios and maximum loan-to-value ratios. A loan-to-value ratio generally based upon the appraiser’s determination of value as well as the value derived using a stressed capitalization rate is considered. The debt service coverage ratio is based upon the underwritten net cash flow and is given particular importance. However, notwithstanding such guidelines, in certain circumstances the actual debt service coverage ratios, loan-to-value ratios and amortization periods for the mortgage loans originated by Société Générale may vary from these guidelines.

 

Escrow Requirements. Generally, Société Générale requires most borrowers to fund various escrows for taxes and insurance, capital expenses and replacement reserves. In the case of certain hotel loans, FF&E reserves may be held by the franchisor or manager rather than the lender. Generally, the required escrows for mortgage loans originated by Société Générale are as follows (see Annex A-1 for instances in which reserves were not taken):

 

 335

 

 

Taxes—Typically an initial deposit and monthly escrow deposits equal to 1/12th of the annual property taxes (based on the most recent property assessment and the current millage rate) are required to provide the lender with sufficient funds to satisfy all taxes and assessments. Société Générale may waive this escrow requirement under appropriate circumstances including, but not limited to, (i) where a tenant is required to pay the taxes directly, (ii) where there is institutional sponsorship or a high net worth individual, or (iii) where there is a low loan-to-value ratio (i.e., less than 60%).

 

Insurance—If the property is insured under an individual policy (i.e., the property is not covered by a blanket policy), typically an initial deposit and monthly escrow deposits equal to 1/12th of the annual property insurance premium are required to provide the lender with sufficient funds to pay all insurance premiums. Société Générale may waive this escrow requirement under appropriate circumstances, including, but not limited to, (i) where a property is covered by a blanket insurance policy maintained by the borrower or sponsor, (ii) where there is institutional sponsorship or a high net worth individual, (iii) where an investment grade tenant is responsible for paying all insurance premiums, or (iv) where there is a low loan-to-value ratio (i.e., less than 60%).

 

Replacement Reserves—Replacement reserves are generally calculated in accordance with the expected useful life of the components of the property during the term of the mortgage loan plus two years. Société Générale relies on information provided by an independent engineer to make this determination. Société Générale may waive this escrow requirement under appropriate circumstances, including, but not limited to, (i) where an investment grade tenant is responsible for replacements under the terms of its lease, (ii) where there is institutional sponsorship or a high net worth individual, or (iii) where there is a low loan-to-value ratio (i.e., less than 60%).

 

Completion Repair/Environmental Remediation—Typically, a completion repair or remediation reserve is required where an environmental or engineering report suggests that such reserve is necessary. Upon funding of the related mortgage loan, Société Générale generally requires that at least 115%-125% of the estimated costs of repairs or replacements be reserved and generally requires that repairs or replacements be completed within a year after the funding of the related mortgage loan. Société Générale may waive this escrow requirement under appropriate circumstances, including, but not limited to, (i) where a secured creditor insurance policy or borrower insurance policy is in place, or (ii) where an investment grade party has agreed to take responsibility, and pay, for any required repair or remediation.

 

Tenant Improvement/Lease Commissions—In most cases, various tenants have lease expirations within the mortgage loan term. To mitigate this risk, special reserves may be required to be funded either at closing of the mortgage loan and/or during the mortgage loan term to cover certain anticipated leasing commissions or tenant improvement costs which might be associated with re leasing the space occupied by such tenants. Société Générale may waive this escrow requirement under appropriate circumstances, including, but not limited to, (i) where there is institutional sponsorship or a high net worth individual, (ii) where tenant improvement costs are the responsibility of investment grade tenants who do not have termination rights under their leases, (iii) where rents at the mortgaged property are considered to be significantly below market, (iv) where no material leases expire within the mortgage loan term, or (v) where there is a low loan-to-value ratio (i.e., less than 60%).

 

 336

 

 

Environmental Report. Société Générale generally obtains a Phase I ESA or an update of a previously obtained ESA for each mortgaged property prepared by an approved environmental consulting firm. Société Générale or its designated agent typically reviews the Phase I ESA to verify the presence or absence of potential adverse environmental conditions. In cases in which the Phase I ESA identifies any such conditions and no third party is identified as responsible for such condition, or the condition has not otherwise been satisfactorily mitigated, Société Générale generally requires the borrower to conduct remediation activities, or to establish an operations and maintenance plan or to place funds in escrow to be used to address any required remediation. In cases in which the Phase I ESA recommends that a Phase II ESA be obtained, Société Générale generally requires such Phase II ESA to be obtained.

 

Physical Condition Report. Société Générale generally obtains a current PCR for each mortgaged property prepared by an approved structural engineering firm. Société Générale, or an agent, typically reviews the PCR to determine the physical condition of the property, and to determine the anticipated costs of necessary repair, replacement and major maintenance or capital expenditure over the term of the mortgage loan. In cases in which the PCR identifies an immediate need for material repairs or replacements with an anticipated cost that is over a certain minimum threshold or percentage of loan balance, Société Générale often requires that funds be put in escrow at the time of origination of the mortgage loan to complete such repairs or replacements or obtains a guarantee from a sponsor of the borrower in lieu of reserves.

 

Title Insurance Policy. The borrower is required to provide, and Société Générale or its counsel typically will review, a title insurance policy for each property. The title insurance policies provided typically must meet the following requirements: (a) written by a title insurer licensed to do business in the jurisdiction where the mortgaged property is located, (b) in an amount at least equal to the original principal balance of the mortgage loan, (c) protection and benefits run to the mortgagee and its successors and assigns, (d) written on an American Land Title Association (“ALTA”) form or equivalent policy promulgated in the jurisdiction where the mortgaged property is located and (e) if a survey was prepared, the legal description of the mortgaged property in the title policy conforms to that shown on the survey.

 

Property Insurance. Société Générale typically requires the borrower to provide one or more of the following insurance policies: (1) commercial general liability insurance for bodily injury or death and property damage; (2) an “All Risk of Physical Loss” policy; (3) if applicable, boiler and machinery coverage; and (4) if the mortgaged property is located in a special flood hazard area where mandatory flood insurance purchase requirements apply, flood insurance. In some cases, a sole tenant is responsible for maintaining insurance and, subject to the satisfaction of rating conditions or net worth criteria, is allowed to self-insure against the risks.

 

Other Factors. Other factors that are considered by Société Générale in the origination of a commercial mortgage loan include current operations, occupancy and tenant base.

 

Exceptions. Notwithstanding the discussion under “—Société Générale’s Underwriting Standards” above, one or more of the Société Générale Mortgage Loans may vary from, or do not comply with, Société Générale’s underwriting guidelines described above. In addition, in the case of one or more of the Société Générale Mortgage Loans, Société Générale may not have strictly applied the underwriting guidelines described above as the result of a case by case permitted exception based upon other compensating factors. None of the Société Générale Mortgage Loans were originated with any material exceptions to Société Générale’s underwriting policies.

Review of the Mortgage Loans for Which Société Générale is the Sponsor

 

Overview. In connection with the securitization described in this prospectus, Société Générale, as a sponsor of this offering, has conducted a review of the Société Générale Mortgage Loans it is selling to the depositor designed and effected to provide reasonable assurance that the disclosure related to such Société Générale Mortgage Loans is accurate in all material respects. Société Générale determined the nature, extent and timing of the review and the level of assistance provided by any third parties. The review of the Société Générale Mortgage Loans was conducted as described below with respect to each of those Société Générale Mortgage Loans. The review of the Société Générale Mortgage Loans was performed by a deal team comprised of real estate and securitization professionals who are employees and contractors of Société Générale or its affiliates (collectively, the “Société Générale Deal Team”) with the assistance of certain third parties. Société Générale has ultimate authority and control over, and assumes all responsibility for and attributes to itself, the review of the Société Générale Mortgage Loans and the review’s findings and conclusions. The review procedures described below were employed with respect to all of the Société Générale Mortgage Loans (rather than relying on sampling procedures), except that certain review procedures were only relevant to the large loan disclosures in this prospectus, as further described below.

 

Database. To prepare for securitization, members of Société Générale Deal Team created a database of loan level and property level information, and prepared an asset summary report, regarding each of the Société Générale Mortgage Loans. The database and the respective asset summary reports were compiled from, among other sources, the related mortgage loan documents, appraisals, environmental reports, seismic reports, property condition reports, zoning reports, insurance review summaries, borrower supplied information (including, but not limited to, rent rolls, leases, operating statements and budgets) and information collected by Société Générale during the underwriting process. After origination of each of the Société Générale Mortgage Loans, Société Générale Deal Team may have updated the information in the database and the related asset summary report with respect to the Société Générale Mortgage Loans based on updates provided by the related servicer relating to loan payment status and escrows, updated operating statements, rent rolls and leasing activity, and information otherwise brought to the attention of Société Générale Deal Team. Such updates were not intended to be, and do not serve as, a re-underwriting of any Société Générale Mortgage Loan.

 

A data tape (the “Société Générale Data Tape”) containing detailed information regarding each of the Société Générale Mortgage Loans was created from the information in the database referred to in the prior paragraph. The Société Générale Data Tape was used by the Société Générale Deal Team to provide the numerical information regarding the Société Générale Mortgage Loans in this prospectus.

 

Data Comparisons and Recalculation. The depositor, on behalf of Société Générale, engaged a third party accounting firm to perform certain data comparison and recalculation procedures designed or provided by Société Générale, relating to information in this prospectus regarding the Société Générale Mortgage Loans. These procedures included:

 

comparing the information in the Société Générale Data Tape against various source documents provided by Société Générale;

 

comparing numerical information regarding the Société Générale Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgaged Properties disclosed in this prospectus against the information contained in the Société Générale Data Tape; and

 

 338

 

 

recalculating certain percentages, ratios and other formulae relating to the Société Générale Mortgage Loans disclosed in this prospectus.

 

Legal Review. Société Générale engaged various law firms to conduct certain legal reviews of the Société Générale Mortgage Loans for disclosure in this prospectus. In anticipation of the securitization of the Société Générale Mortgage Loans, origination counsel prepared a loan summary that sets forth salient loan terms and summarizes material deviations from Société Générale’s standard form loan documents. In addition, origination counsel for each Société Générale Mortgage Loan reviewed Société Générale’s representations and warranties set forth on Annex D-1 and, if applicable, identified exceptions to those representations and warranties.

 

Loan seller’s counsel was also engaged to assist in the review of the Société Générale Mortgage Loans. Such assistance included, among other things, (i) a review of sections of the Mortgage Loan documents that deviate materially from Société Générale’s standard form documents, as identified by Société Générale and origination counsel, (ii) a review of the asset summary reports and the loan summaries prepared by Société Générale relating to the Société Générale Mortgage Loans, and (iii) a review of a due diligence questionnaire completed by the origination counsel.

 

Société Générale prepared, and both originating counsel and loan seller’s counsel reviewed, the loan summaries for the Société Générale Mortgage Loans included in the 15 largest Mortgage Loans in the Mortgage Pool, and the abbreviated loan summaries for the Société Générale Mortgage Loans included in the next 5 largest Mortgage Loans in the Mortgage Pool, which loan summaries and abbreviated loan summaries are incorporated in “Summaries of the Fifteen Largest Mortgage Loans” in the attached Annex A-3.

 

Other Review Procedures. With respect to any pending litigation that existed at the origination of any of the Société Générale Mortgage Loans, Société Générale requested updates from the related borrower, origination counsel and/or borrower’s litigation counsel. In connection with the origination of each Société Générale Mortgage Loan, Société Générale, together with origination counsel, conducted a search with respect to each borrower under the related Société Générale Mortgage Loan to determine whether it filed for bankruptcy. If Société Générale became aware of a significant natural disaster in the vicinity of any Mortgaged Property securing one of the Société Générale Mortgage Loans, Société Générale obtained information on the status of the Mortgaged Property from the related borrower to confirm that there was no material damage to the Mortgaged Property.

 

Additionally, with respect to each Société Générale Mortgage Loan, the Société Générale Deal Team also consulted with the applicable Société Générale mortgage loan origination team to confirm that each of the Société Générale Mortgage Loans was originated in compliance with the origination and underwriting criteria described above under “—Société Générale’s Underwriting Standards”, as well as to identify any material deviations from those origination and underwriting criteria. See “Description of the Mortgage PoolExceptions to Underwriting Guidelines” in this prospectus.

 

Review Procedures in the Event of a Mortgage Loan Substitution. Société Générale will perform a review of any Société Générale Mortgage Loan that it elects to substitute for a Société Générale Mortgage Loan in the pool in connection with a material breach of a representation or warranty or a material document defect. Société Générale, and if appropriate its legal counsel, will review the mortgage loan documents and servicing history of the substitute mortgage loan to confirm it meets each of the criteria required under the terms of the related MLPA and the PSA (the “Qualification Criteria”). Société Générale may engage a third party to compare the Qualification Criteria against the underlying source

 

 339

 

 

documentation to verify the accuracy of the review by Société Générale and to confirm any numerical and/or statistical information to be disclosed in any required filings under the Exchange Act. Legal counsel will also be engaged by Société Générale to render any tax opinion required in connection with the substitution.

 

Findings and Conclusions. Société Générale found and concluded with reasonable assurance that the disclosure regarding the Société Générale Mortgage Loans in this prospectus is accurate in all material respects. Société Générale also found and concluded with reasonable assurance that the Société Générale Mortgage Loans were originated in accordance with Société Générale’s origination procedures and underwriting criteria.

Rialto Mortgage’s Underwriting Standards and Loan Analysis

 

Each of the Mortgage Loans originated by Rialto Mortgage was generally originated in accordance with the underwriting criteria described below. Each lending situation is unique, however, and the facts and circumstances surrounding a particular mortgage loan, such as the quality and location of the real estate collateral, the sponsorship of the borrower and the tenancy of the collateral, will impact the extent to which the general guidelines below are applied to that specific loan. These underwriting criteria are general, and we cannot assure you that every loan will comply in all respects with the guidelines.

 

Loan Analysis. Generally, Rialto Mortgage performs both a credit analysis and collateral analysis with respect to a loan applicant and the real estate that will secure a mortgage loan. In general, the analysis of a borrower includes a review of money laundering and background checks and the analysis of its sponsor includes a review of money laundering and background checks, third-party credit reports, bankruptcy and lien searches, general banking references and commercial mortgage related references. In general, the analysis of the collateral includes a site visit and a review of the property’s historical operating statements (if available), independent market research, an appraisal with an emphasis on rental and sales comparables, engineering and environmental reports, the property’s historic and current occupancy, financial strengths of tenants, the duration and terms of tenant leases and the use of the property. Each report is reviewed for acceptability by a real estate finance credit officer of Rialto Mortgage. The borrower’s and property manager’s experience and presence in the subject market are also reviewed. Consideration is also given to anticipated changes in cash flow that may result from changes in lease terms or market considerations.

 

Borrowers are generally required to be single-purpose entities although they are generally not required to be structured to limit the possibility of becoming insolvent or bankrupt unless the loan has a principal balance of greater than $30 million, in which case additional limitations including the requirement that the borrower have at least one independent director are required.

 

Loan Approval. All mortgage loans must be approved by a credit committee that includes two officers of Rialto Mortgage and one officer of Lennar Corporation. If deemed appropriate, a member of the real estate team will visit the subject property. The credit committee may approve a mortgage loan as recommended, request additional due diligence, modify the loan terms or decline a loan transaction.

 

Property Analysis. Prior to origination of a loan, Rialto Mortgage typically performs, or causes to be performed, site inspections at each property. Depending on the property type, such inspections generally include an evaluation of one or more of the following:

 

 341

 

 

functionality, design, attractiveness, visibility and accessibility of the property as well as proximity to major thoroughfares, transportation centers, employment sources, retail areas, educational facilities and recreational areas. Such inspections generally assess the submarket in which the property is located, which may include evaluating competitive or comparable properties.

 

Appraisal and Loan-to-Value Ratio. Rialto Mortgage typically obtains an appraisal that complies, or is certified by the appraiser to comply, with the real estate appraisal regulations issued jointly by the federal bank regulatory agencies under the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989, as amended. The loan-to-value ratio of the mortgage loan is generally based on the “as-is” value set forth in the appraisal. In certain cases, an updated appraisal is obtained.

 

Debt Service Coverage Ratio. In connection with the origination of an asset, Rialto Mortgage will analyze whether cash flow expected to be derived from the related real property will be sufficient to make the required payments under that transaction over its expected term, taking into account, among other things, revenues and expenses for, and other debt currently secured directly or indirectly by, or that in the future may be secured directly or indirectly by, the related real property. The debt service coverage ratio is an important measure of the likelihood of default on a particular asset. In general, the debt service coverage ratio at any given time is the ratio of —

 

the amount of income, net of expenses and required reserves, derived or expected to be derived from the related real property for a given period, to

 

the scheduled payments of principal and interest during that given period on the subject asset and any other loans that are secured by liens of senior or equal priority on, or otherwise have a senior or equal entitlement to be repaid from the income generated by, the related real property.

 

However, the amount described in the first bullet of the preceding sentence is often a highly subjective number based on a variety of assumptions regarding, and adjustments to, revenues and expenses with respect to the related real property. Accordingly, based on such subjective assumptions and analysis, we cannot assure you that the underwriting analysis of any particular asset will conform to the foregoing in every respect or to any similar analysis which may be performed by other persons or entities. For example, when calculating the debt service coverage ratio for a particular asset, Rialto Mortgage may utilize net cash flow that was calculated based on assumptions regarding projected rental income, expenses and/or occupancy. There is no assurance that such assumptions made with respect to any asset or the related real property will, in fact, be consistent with actual property performance.

 

Generally, the debt service coverage ratio for assets originated by Rialto Mortgage, calculated as described above, will be subject to a minimum standard at origination (generally equal to or greater than 1.20x); however, exceptions may be made when consideration is given to circumstances particular to the asset, the related real property, the associated loan-to-value ratio (as described below), reserves or other factors. For example, Rialto Mortgage may originate an asset with a debt service coverage ratio below the minimum standard at origination based on, among other things, the amortization features of the overall debt structure, the type of tenants and leases at the related real property, the taking of additional collateral such as reserves, letters of credit and/or guarantees, the profile of the borrower and its owners, Rialto Mortgage’s judgment of improved property and/or market performance in the future and/or other relevant factors.

 

 342

 

 

Loan-to-Value Ratio. Rialto Mortgage also looks at the loan-to-value ratio of a prospective investment related to multi-family or commercial real estate as one of the factors it takes into consideration in evaluating the likelihood of recovery if a property is liquidated following a default. In general, the loan-to-value ratio of an asset related to multi-family or commercial real estate at any given time is the ratio, expressed as a percentage, of:

 

the then-outstanding principal balance of the asset and any other loans that are secured (directly or indirectly) by liens of senior or equal priority on the related real property, to

 

the estimated value of the related real property based on an appraisal, a cash flow analysis, a recent sales price or another method or benchmark of valuation.

 

Generally, the loan-to-value ratio for assets originated by Rialto Mortgage, calculated as described above, will be subject to a maximum standard at origination (generally less than or equal to 80%); however, exceptions may be made when consideration is given to circumstances particular to the asset, the related real property, debt service coverage, reserves or other factors. For example, Rialto Mortgage may originate a multifamily or commercial real estate loan with a loan-to-value ratio above the maximum standard at origination based on, among other things, the amortization features of the overall debt structure, the type of tenants and leases at the related real property, the taking of additional collateral such as reserves, letters of credit and/or guarantees, the profile of the borrower and its owners, Rialto Mortgage’s judgment of improved property and/or market performance in the future and/or other relevant factors.

 

Additional Debt. When underwriting an asset, Rialto Mortgage will take into account whether the related real property and/or direct or indirect interest in a related borrower are encumbered by additional debt and will analyze the likely effect of that additional debt on repayment of the subject asset. It is possible that Rialto Mortgage or an affiliate will be the lender on that additional debt, and may either sell such debt to an unaffiliated third party or hold it for investment or future sale.

 

The debt service coverage ratios at origination described above under “—Debt Service Coverage Ratio” and the loan-to-value ratios at origination described above under “—Loan-to-Value Ratio” may be significantly below the minimum standard and/or significantly above the maximum standard, respectively, when calculated taking into account the existence of additional debt secured directly or indirectly by equity interests in the related borrower.

 

Assessments of Property Condition. As part of the origination and underwriting process, Rialto Mortgage will analyze the condition of the real property for a prospective asset. To aid in that analysis, Rialto Mortgage may, subject to certain exceptions, inspect or retain a third party to inspect the property and will in most cases obtain the property reports described below.

 

Appraisal Report. Rialto Mortgage will in most cases obtain an appraisal or an update of an existing appraisal from an independent appraiser that is state-certified, belonging to the Appraisal Institute, a membership association of professional real estate appraisers, or an otherwise qualified appraiser. The appraisal reports are conducted in accordance with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practices and the appraisal report (or a separate letter accompanying the report) will include a statement by the appraiser that the guidelines in Title XI of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989, as amended, were followed in preparing the appraisal report.

 

 343

 

 

Environmental Report. Rialto Mortgage requires that an environmental consultant prepare a Phase I environmental report or that an update of a prior environmental report, a transaction screen or a desktop review is prepared with respect to the real property related to the asset. Alternatively, Rialto Mortgage may forego an environmental report in limited circumstances, such as when it has obtained the benefits of an environmental insurance policy or an environmental guarantee. Depending on the findings of the initial environmental report, Rialto Mortgage may require additional record searches or environmental testing, such as a Phase II environmental report with respect to the subject real property. In certain cases where an environmental report discloses the existence of, or potential for, adverse environmental conditions, including as a result of the activities of identified tenants, adjacent property owners or previous owners of the subject real property, the related borrower may be required to establish operations and maintenance plans, monitor the real property, abate or remediate the condition and/or provide additional security such as letters of credit, reserves or environmental insurance policies.

 

Engineering Report. Rialto Mortgage generally requires that an engineering firm inspect the real property related to the asset to assess and prepare a report regarding the structure, exterior walls, roofing, interior structure, mechanical systems and/or electrical systems. In some cases, engineering reports are based on, and limited to, information available through visual inspection. Rialto Mortgage will consider the engineering report in connection with determining whether to address any recommended repairs, corrections or replacements in connection with origination and whether any identified deferred maintenance should be addressed in connection with origination. In some cases, Rialto Mortgage uses conclusions in the engineering reports in connection with making a determination about the necessity for escrows related to repairs and the continued maintenance of the real property.

 

Seismic Report. If the real property related to an asset consists of improvements located in seismic zones 3 or 4, Rialto Mortgage generally requires a seismic report from an engineering firm to establish the probable maximum or bounded loss for the improvements at the property as a result of an earthquake. Generally, if a seismic report concludes that the related real property is estimated to have a probably maximum loss or scenario expected loss in excess of 20%, Rialto Mortgage may require retrofitting of the improvements or that the borrower obtain earthquake insurance if available at a commercially reasonable price.

 

Zoning and Building Code Compliance. In connection with the origination of an asset related to multifamily or commercial real estate, Rialto Mortgage will generally obtain one or more of the following to consider whether the use and occupancy of the related real property is in material compliance with zoning, land use, building rules, regulations and orders then applicable to that property: zoning reports, legal opinions, surveys, recorded documents, temporary or permanent certificates of occupancy, letters from government officials or agencies, title insurance endorsements, engineering or consulting reports and/or representations by the related borrower. In cases where the real property constitutes a legal nonconforming use or structure, Rialto Mortgage may require an endorsement to the title insurance policy and/or the acquisition of law and ordinance insurance with respect to the particular non-conformity unless it determines that: (i) the non-conformity should not have a material adverse effect on the ability of the borrower to rebuild, (ii) the real property, if permitted to be repaired or restored in conformity with current law, would in Rialto Mortgage’s judgment constitute adequate security, (iii) any major casualty that would prevent rebuilding has a sufficiently remote likelihood of occurring, (iv) a variance or other similar change in applicable zoning restrictions is potentially available, or the applicable governing entity is unlikely to enforce the related limitations, (v) casualty insurance

proceeds together with the value of any additional collateral are expected to be available in an amount estimated by Rialto Mortgage to be sufficient to pay off all relevant indebtedness in full, and/or (vi) a cash reserve, a letter of credit or an agreement imposing recourse liability from a principal of the borrower is provided to cover losses.

 

Escrow Requirements. Based on its analysis of the related real property, the borrower and the principals of the borrower, Rialto Mortgage may require a borrower to fund various escrows for taxes, insurance, capital expenses, replacement reserves, re-tenanting reserves, environmental remediation and/or other matters. Rialto Mortgage conducts a case-by-case analysis to determine the need for a particular escrow or reserve. Consequently, the underlying documents for some assets do not contain provisions requiring the establishment of escrows and reserves, or only require the establishment of escrows and reserves in limited amounts and/or circumstances. Furthermore, where escrows or reserves are required, Rialto Mortgage may accept an alternative to a cash escrow or reserve from a borrower, such as a letter of credit or a guarantee from the borrower or an affiliate of the borrower or periodic evidence that the items for which the escrow or reserve would have been established are being paid or addressed. In some cases, Rialto Mortgage may determine that establishing an escrow or reserve is not warranted given the amounts that would be involved and Rialto Mortgage’s evaluation of the ability of the real property, the borrower or a holder of direct or indirect ownership interests in the borrower to bear the subject expense or cost absent creation of an escrow or reserve.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing discussion, Rialto Mortgage may originate or acquire, and may have originated or acquired, real estate related loans and other investments that vary from, or do not comply with, Rialto Mortgage’s underwriting guidelines as described herein and/or such underwriting guidelines may not have been in place or may have been in place in a modified version at the time Rialto Mortgage or its affiliates originated or acquired certain assets. In addition, in some cases, Rialto Mortgage may not have strictly applied these underwriting guidelines as the result of a case-by-case permitted exception based upon other compensating factors.

 

Exceptions. Notwithstanding the discussion under “—Rialto Mortgage’s Underwriting Standards and Loan Analysis” above, one or more of the Rialto Mortgage Loans may vary from, or not comply with, Rialto Mortgage’s underwriting policies and guidelines described above. In addition, in the case of one or more of the Rialto Mortgage Loans, Rialto Mortgage or another originator may not have strictly applied the underwriting policies and guidelines described above as the result of a case-by-case permitted exception based upon other compensating factors. None of the Rialto Mortgage Loans were originated with any material exceptions to Rialto Mortgage’s underwriting policies, guidelines and procedures described above.

 

Review of Mortgage Loans for Which Rialto Mortgage is the Sponsor

 

Overview. Rialto Mortgage has conducted a review of each of the Rialto Mortgage Loans. This review was performed by a team comprised of real estate and securitization professionals who are employees of Rialto Mortgage or one or more of its affiliates (the “Rialto Mortgage Review Team“). The review procedures described below were employed with respect to the Rialto Mortgage Loans. No sampling procedures were used in the review process. Rialto Mortgage is the mortgage loan seller with respect to six (6) Mortgage Loans.

 

Set forth below is a discussion of certain current general guidelines of Rialto Mortgage generally applicable with respect to Rialto Mortgage’s underwriting analysis of multi-family and commercial real estate properties which serve as the direct or indirect source of repayment for commercial real estate debt originated by Rialto Mortgage. All or a portion of

 

 345

 

 

the underwriting guidelines described below may not be applied exactly as described below at the time a particular asset is originated by Rialto Mortgage.

 

Database. To prepare for securitization, members of the Rialto Mortgage Review Team reviewed a database of loan-level and property-level information relating to the Rialto Mortgage Loans. The database was compiled from, among other sources, the related mortgage loan documents, appraisals, environmental assessment reports, property condition reports, zoning reports, insurance review summaries, borrower-supplied information (including, but not limited to, rent rolls, leases, operating statements and budgets) and information collected by the Rialto Mortgage Review Team during the underwriting process. Prior to securitization of the Rialto Mortgage Loans, the Rialto Mortgage Review Team may have updated the information in the database with respect to the Rialto Mortgage Loans based on updates provided by the related servicer which may include information relating to loan payment status and escrows, updated operating statements, rent rolls and leasing activity, and information otherwise brought to the attention of the Rialto Mortgage Review Team, to the extent such updates were provided to, and deemed material by, the Rialto Mortgage Review Team. Such updates, if any, were not intended to be, and do not serve as, a re-underwriting of the Rialto Mortgage Loans. A data tape (the “Rialto Mortgage Data Tape“) containing detailed information regarding the Rialto Mortgage Loans was created from the information in the database referred to above. The Rialto Mortgage Data Tape was used to provide the numerical information regarding the Rialto Mortgage Loans in this prospectus.

 

Data Comparison and Recalculation. The depositor, on behalf of Rialto Mortgage, engaged a third party accounting firm to perform certain data comparison and recalculation procedures designed by Rialto Mortgage and relating to information in this prospectus regarding the Rialto Mortgage Loans. These procedures included:

 

comparing the information in the Rialto Mortgage Data Tape against various source documents provided by Rialto Mortgage;

 

comparing numerical information regarding the Rialto Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgaged Properties disclosed in this prospectus against the information contained in the Rialto Mortgage Data Tape; and

 

recalculating certain percentages, ratios and other formulae relating to the Rialto Mortgage Loans disclosed in this prospectus.

 

Legal Review. Rialto Mortgage engaged legal counsel to conduct certain legal reviews of the Rialto Mortgage Loans for disclosure in this prospectus. In anticipation of the securitization described in this prospectus, Rialto Mortgage’s origination counsel reviewed a form of securitization representations and warranties at origination and, if applicable, identified exceptions to those representations and warranties. Rialto Mortgage’s origination and underwriting staff also performed a review of the representations and warranties.

 

Legal counsel was also engaged in connection with this securitization to assist in the review of the Rialto Mortgage Loans. Such assistance included, among other things, (i) a review of certain of Rialto Mortgage’s asset summary reports, (ii) the review of the representations and warranties and exception reports referred to above relating to the Rialto Mortgage Loans prepared by origination counsel, (iii) the review of, and assistance in the completion by the Rialto Mortgage Review Team of, a due diligence questionnaire relating to the Rialto Mortgage Loans and (iv) the review of certain provisions in loan documents with respect to the Rialto Mortgage Loans.

 

 346

 

 

Other Review Procedures. The Rialto Mortgage Review Team, with the assistance of counsel engaged in connection with this securitization, also reviewed each Rialto Mortgage Loan to determine whether it materially deviated from the underwriting guidelines set forth under “—Rialto Mortgage’s Underwriting Standards and Loan Analysis” above.

 

Findings and Conclusions. Based on the foregoing review procedures, Rialto Mortgage determined that the disclosure regarding the Rialto Mortgage Loans in this prospectus is accurate in all material respects. Rialto Mortgage also determined that the Rialto Mortgage Loans were not originated with any material exceptions from Rialto Mortgage’s underwriting guidelines and procedures, except as described above under “—Rialto Mortgage’s Underwriting Standards and Loan Analysis—Exceptions” above. Rialto Mortgage attributes to itself all findings and conclusions resulting from the foregoing review procedures.

 

Review Procedures in the Event of a Mortgage Loan Substitution. Rialto Mortgage will perform a review of any Rialto Mortgage Loan that it elects to substitute for a Rialto Mortgage Loan in the pool in connection with material breach of a representation or warranty or a material document defect. Rialto Mortgage, and if appropriate its legal counsel, will review the mortgage loan documents and servicing history of the substitute mortgage loan to confirm it meets each of the criteria required under the terms of the related MLPA and the PSA (the “Rialto Qualification Criteria“). Rialto Mortgage will engage a third party accounting firm to compare the Rialto Qualification Criteria against the underlying source documentation to verify the accuracy of the review by Rialto Mortgage and to confirm any numerical and/or statistical information to be disclosed in any required filings under the Exchange Act. Legal counsel will also be engaged by Rialto Mortgage to render any tax opinion required in connection with the substitution.

 

Compliance with Rule 15Ga-1 under the Exchange Act

 

Rialto Mortgage most recently filed a Form ABS-15G on February 1, 2017. Rialto Mortgage’s Central Index Key number is 0001592182.

These duties will include, without limitation, (i) appointing a successor trustee or custodian in the event of the resignation or removal of the trustee or custodian, as applicable, (ii) providing information in its possession with respect to the certificates to the certificate administrator to the extent necessary to perform REMIC tax administration and preparing disclosure required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), (iii) indemnifying the trustee, the custodian, the certificate administrator and the issuing entity for any liability, assessment or costs arising from the depositor’s willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence in providing such information, (iv) indemnifying the trustee, the custodian and the certificate administrator against certain securities laws liabilities and (v) signing any distribution report on Form 10-D, current report on Form 8-K or annual report on Form 10-K, including the required certification therein under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, required to be filed by the issuing entity and reviewing filings pursuant to the Exchange Act prepared by the certificate administrator on behalf of the issuing entity. The depositor is also required under the Underwriting Agreement to indemnify the underwriters for, or to contribute to losses in respect of, certain securities law liabilities.

 

The depositor purchases commercial mortgage loans and interests in commercial mortgage loans for the purpose of selling those assets to trusts created in connection with the securitization of pools of assets and does not engage in any activities unrelated to those securitizations. On the Closing Date, the depositor will acquire the Mortgage Loans from each mortgage loan seller and will simultaneously transfer them, without recourse, to the trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The depositor does not have, nor is it expected in the future to have, any significant assets and is not engaged in activities unrelated to the securitization of mortgage loans. The depositor will not have any business operations other than securitizing mortgage loans and related activities.

 

The depositor remains responsible under the PSA for providing the master servicer, special servicer, certificate administrator and trustee with certain information and other assistance requested by those parties and reasonably necessary to performing their duties under the PSA. The depositor also remains responsible for mailing notices to the Certificateholders upon the appointment of certain successor entities under the PSA.

 

The Issuing Entity

 

The issuing entity, UBS Commercial Mortgage Trust 2017-C5 (the “Trust”), will be a New York common law trust, formed on the Closing Date pursuant to the PSA.

The issuing entity may not lend or borrow money, except that the master servicer, the special servicer and the trustee may make Advances of delinquent monthly debt service payments and Servicing Advances to the issuing entity, but only to the extent it does not deem such Advances to be nonrecoverable from the related mortgage loan; such Advances are intended to provide liquidity, rather than credit support. The PSA may be amended as

 

 348

 

 

set forth under “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Amendment”. The issuing entity administers the Mortgage Loans through the trustee, the certificate administrator, the master servicer and the special servicer.

Wells Fargo Bank is a national banking association and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo & Company. A diversified financial services company, Wells Fargo & Company is a U.S. bank holding company with approximately $2 trillion in assets and approximately 273,000 employees as of March 31, 2017, which provides banking, insurance, trust, mortgage and consumer finance services throughout the United States and internationally.

As of March 31, 2017, Wells Fargo Bank was acting as trustee on approximately 368 series of commercial mortgage-backed securities with an aggregate principal balance of approximately $140 billion.

 

In its capacity as trustee on commercial mortgage securitizations, Wells Fargo Bank is generally required to make an advance if the related master servicer or special servicer fails to make a required advance. In the past three years, Wells Fargo Bank has not been required to make an advance on a commercial mortgage-backed securities transaction.

 

 349

 

 

Under the terms of the PSA, Wells Fargo Bank is responsible for securities administration, which includes pool performance calculations, distribution calculations and the preparation of monthly distribution reports. As certificate administrator, Wells Fargo Bank is responsible for the preparation and filing of all REMIC and grantor trust tax returns on behalf of the issuing entity and to the extent required under the PSA, the preparation of monthly reports on Form 10-D, certain current reports on Form 8-K and annual reports on Form 10-K that are required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on behalf of the issuing entity. Wells Fargo Bank has been engaged in the business of securities administration since June 30, 1995, and in connection with commercial mortgage-backed securities since 1997. As of March 31, 2017, Wells Fargo Bank was acting as securities administrator with respect to more than $414 billion of outstanding commercial mortgage-backed securities.

 

Wells Fargo Bank is acting as custodian of the mortgage loan files pursuant to the PSA. In that capacity, Wells Fargo Bank is responsible to hold and safeguard the mortgage notes and other contents of the mortgage files on behalf of the Trustee and the Certificateholders. Wells Fargo Bank maintains each mortgage loan file in a separate file folder marked with a unique bar code to assure loan-level file integrity and to assist in inventory management. Files are segregated by transaction or investor. Wells Fargo Bank has been engaged in the mortgage document custody business for more than 25 years. Wells Fargo Bank maintains its commercial document custody facilities in Minneapolis, Minnesota. As of March 31, 2017, Wells Fargo Bank was acting as custodian of more than 223,000 commercial mortgage loan files.

 

Wells Fargo Bank serves or may have served within the past two years as loan file custodian for various mortgage loans owned by the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor one or more of those mortgage loans may be included in the Trust. The terms of any custodial agreement under which those services are provided by Wells Fargo Bank are customary for the mortgage-backed securitization industry and provide for the delivery, receipt, review and safekeeping of mortgage loan files.

 

For three CMBS transactions in its portfolio, Wells Fargo Bank disclosed material noncompliance on its related 2016 Annual Statement of Compliance furnished pursuant to Item 1123 of Regulation AB to the required recipients for the transactions. For one CMBS transaction, an administrative error caused an overpayment to a certain class and a correlating underpayment to a certain class for two consecutive distributions. Each of the affected distributions was revised the next month to correct the error. For two CMBS transactions, distributions for one month were paid one day late as a result of an inadvertent payment systems error that occurred in connection with a conversion to a new payment system. For one of these two CMBS transactions, distributions were one day late for the next month due to an unrelated delay in posting funds received from the servicer to the appropriate account.

 

On June 18, 2014, a group of institutional investors filed a civil complaint in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, against Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., in its capacity as trustee under 276 residential mortgage backed securities (“RMBS”) trusts, which was later amended on July 18, 2014, to increase the number of trusts to 284 RMBS trusts. On November 24, 2014, the plaintiffs filed a motion to voluntarily dismiss the state court action without prejudice. That same day, a group of institutional investors filed a putative class action complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “District Court” ) against Wells Fargo Bank, alleging claims against the bank in its capacity as trustee for 274 RMBS trusts (the “Federal Court Complaint”). In December 2014, the plaintiffs’ motion to voluntarily dismiss their original state court action was granted. As with the prior state court action, the Federal Court Complaint is one of six

 

 350

 

 

similar complaints filed contemporaneously against RMBS trustees (Deutsche Bank, Citibank, HSBC, Bank of New York Mellon and U.S. Bank) by a group of institutional investor plaintiffs. The Federal Court Complaint against Wells Fargo Bank alleges that the trustee caused losses to investors and asserts causes of action based upon, among other things, the trustee’s alleged failure to: (i) notify and enforce repurchase obligations of mortgage loan sellers for purported breaches of representations and warranties, (ii) notify investors of alleged events of default, and (iii) abide by appropriate standards of care following alleged events of default. Relief sought includes money damages in an unspecified amount, reimbursement of expenses, and equitable relief. Other cases alleging similar causes of action have been filed against Wells Fargo Bank and other trustees in the District Court by RMBS investors in these and other transactions, and these cases against Wells Fargo Bank are proceeding before the same District Court judge. A similar complaint was also filed May 27, 2016 in New York state court by a different plaintiff investor. On January 19, 2016, an order was entered in connection with the Federal Court Complaint in which the District Court declined to exercise jurisdiction over 261 trusts at issue in the Federal Court Complaint; the District Court also allowed plaintiffs to file amended complaints as to the remaining, non-dismissed trusts, if they so chose, and three amended complaints have been filed. On December 17, 2016, the investor plaintiffs in the 261 trusts dismissed from the Federal Court Complaint filed a new complaint in New York state court (the “State Court Complaint”). On July 11, 2017, certain PIMCO investment funds filed a civil complaint relating to Wells Fargo Bank’s setting aside reserves for legal fees and expenses in connection with the liquidation of 11 RMBS trusts at issue in the State Court Complaint. The complaint seeks, among other relief, declarations that Wells Fargo Bank is not entitled to (i) indemnification from, (ii) advancement of funds from, or (iii) taking reserves from trust funds for legal fees and expenses it incurs in defending the claims in the State Court Complaint. With respect to the foregoing litigations, Wells Fargo Bank believes plaintiffs’ claims are without merit and intends to contest the claims vigorously, but there can be no assurances as to the outcome of the litigations or the possible impact of the litigations on Wells Fargo Bank or the RMBS trusts.

 

Neither Wells Fargo Bank nor any of its affiliates intends to retain any economic interest in this securitization, including without limitation any certificates issued by the issuing entity. However, each of Wells Fargo Bank and its affiliates will be entitled at their discretion to acquire certificates issued by the issuing entity, and in each such case will have the right to dispose of any such certificates at any time.

 

The foregoing information regarding Wells Fargo Bank set forth under this heading “—The Trustee and the Certificate Administrator” has been provided by Wells Fargo Bank.

 

For a description of any material affiliations, relationships and related transactions between the certificate administrator and the other transaction parties, see “Certain Affiliations, Relationships and Related Transactions Involving Transaction Parties”.

 

The trustee and the certificate administrator will only be liable under the PSA to the extent of the obligations specifically imposed by the PSA. For further information regarding the duties, responsibilities, rights and obligations of the trustee under the PSA, including those related to indemnification, see “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Limitation on Liability; Indemnification”. Certain terms of the PSA regarding the trustee’s removal, replacement or resignation are described under “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Resignation and Removal of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator”.

The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer

 

Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, a national banking association (“Midland“), is expected to be the master servicer and in this capacity will initially be responsible for the master servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans and any Serviced Companion Loans pursuant to the PSA. Certain servicing and administrative functions may also be provided by one or more primary servicers that previously serviced the mortgage loans for the mortgage loan seller. Midland is also expected to be appointed to act as an initial special servicer under the PSA and in this capacity is expected to be responsible for the servicing and administration of the applicable Specially Serviced Loans and any associated REO Properties, and generally, will review, evaluate and provide or withhold consent as to certain Major Decisions and all Special Servicer Non-Major Decisions. Generally, Midland will process Major Decisions and Special Servicer Non-Major Decisions, and will perform certain enforcement actions relating to the Mortgage Loans (other than any Excluded Special Servicer Loan or Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and Serviced Companion Loans that are non-Specially Serviced Loans, pursuant to the PSA. Midland’s principal servicing office is located at 10851 Mastin Street, Building 82, Suite 300, Overland Park, Kansas 66210.

 

Midland is a real estate financial services company that provides loan servicing, asset management and technology solutions for large pools of commercial and multifamily real estate assets. Midland is approved as a master servicer, special servicer and primary servicer for investment-grade commercial and multifamily mortgage-backed securities (“CMMBS”) by S&P Global Ratings, a Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC business, Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., Fitch Ratings, Inc., Morningstar Credit Ratings, LLC, DBRS, Inc. and Kroll Bond Rating Agency, Inc.

For each category, S&P Global Ratings, a Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC business ranks Midland as “Strong” and Morningstar Credit Ratings, LLC ranks Midland as “CS1”. Fitch Ratings, Inc. rates Midland as “CMS1” for master servicer, “CPS1” for primary servicer, and “CSS2+” for special servicer.

Midland has detailed operating procedures across the various servicing functions to maintain compliance with its servicing obligations and the servicing standards under Midland’s servicing agreements, including procedures for managing delinquent and specially serviced loans. The policies and procedures are reviewed annually and centrally managed. Furthermore, Midland’s disaster recovery plan is reviewed annually.

 

Midland will not have primary responsibility for custody services of original documents evidencing the underlying Mortgage Loans or the Serviced Companion Loans. Midland may from time to time have custody of certain of such documents as necessary for enforcement actions involving particular Mortgage Loans or the Serviced Companion Loans or otherwise. To the extent that Midland has custody of any such documents for any such servicing purposes, such documents will be maintained in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard.

 

No securitization transaction involving commercial or multifamily mortgage loans in which Midland was acting as master servicer, primary servicer or special servicer has experienced a servicer event of default or servicer termination event as a result of any

 

 352

 

 

action or inaction of Midland as master servicer, primary servicer or special servicer, as applicable, including as a result of Midland’s failure to comply with the applicable servicing criteria in connection with any securitization transaction. Midland has made all advances required to be made by it under the servicing agreements on the commercial and multifamily mortgage loans serviced by Midland in securitization transactions.

 

From time to time Midland is a party to lawsuits and other legal proceedings as part of its duties as a loan servicer (e.g., enforcement of loan obligations) and/or arising in the ordinary course of business. Midland does not believe that any such lawsuits or legal proceedings would, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on its business or its ability to service loans pursuant to the PSA.

 

Midland currently maintains an Internet-based investor reporting system, CMBS Investor Insight®, that contains performance information at the portfolio, loan and property levels on the various commercial mortgage backed securities transactions that it services. Certificateholders, prospective transferees of the certificates and other appropriate parties may obtain access to CMBS Investor Insight® through Midland’s website at www.pnc.com/midland. Midland may require registration and execution of an access agreement in connection with providing access to CMBS Investor Insight®.

 

As of September 30, 2017, Midland was master and/or primary servicing approximately 31,721 commercial and multifamily mortgage loans with a principal balance of approximately $429 billion.

In its capacity as (i) the GSMS 2017-GS7 Special Servicer, (ii) the UBS 2017-C4 Special Servicer and (iii) the CD 2017-CD5 Special Servicer, Rialto will not have primary responsibility for custody services of original documents evidencing, (i) the Marriott Grand Cayman Whole Loan, (ii) the DoubleTree Berkeley Marina Whole Loan and The District Whole Loan and (iii) the IGT Reno Whole Loan (collectively, the “Rialto Outside Serviced Whole Loans”) respectively. Rialto may from time to time have custody of certain of such documents as necessary for enforcement actions involving certain of the Rialto Outside Serviced Whole Loans or otherwise. To the extent that Rialto has custody of any such documents for any such servicing purposes, such documents will be maintained in a manner consistent with the servicing standard as applicable under the GSMS 2017-GS7 PSA, the UBS 2017-C4 PSA and the CD 2017-CD5 PSA, respectively.

 

Rialto does not have any material advancing rights or obligations with respect to the commercial mortgage-backed securities pools as to which it acts as special servicer. In certain instances Rialto may have the right or be obligated to make property related servicing advances in emergency situations with respect to certain commercial mortgage-backed securities pools as to which it acts as special servicer.

 

There are, to the actual current knowledge of Rialto, no special or unique factors of a material nature involved in special servicing the Rialto Outside Serviced Whole Loans, as compared to the types of assets specially serviced by Rialto in other commercial mortgage-backed securitization pools generally, for which Rialto has developed processes and procedures which materially differ from the processes and procedures employed by Rialto in connection with its special servicing of commercial mortgage-backed securitization pools generally.

 

There have not been, during the past three years, any material changes to the policies or procedures of Rialto in the servicing function it will perform as applicable under the GSMS 2017-GS7 PSA, the UBS 2017-C4 PSA and the CD 2017-CD5 PSA, respectively for assets of

 

 364

 

 

the same type included in the GSMS 2017-GS7 securitization, the UBS 2017-C4 securitization and the CD 2017-CD5 securitization, including with respect to the Rialto Outside Serviced Whole Loans.

 

No securitization transaction in which Rialto was acting as special servicer has experienced a servicer event of default as a result of any action or inaction of Rialto as special servicer, including as a result of a failure by Rialto to comply with the applicable servicing criteria in connection with any securitization transaction. Rialto has not been terminated as special servicer in any securitization, either due to a servicing default or the application of a servicing performance test or trigger. Rialto has made all advances required to be made by it under the servicing agreements related to the securitization transactions in which Rialto is acting as special servicer. There has been no previous disclosure of material noncompliance with the applicable servicing criteria by Rialto in connection with any securitization in which Rialto was acting as special servicer.

 

Rialto does not believe that its financial condition will have any adverse effect on the performance as applicable of its duties under the GSMS 2017-GS7 PSA, the UBS 2017-C4 PSA and the CD 2017-CD5 PSA, respectively and, accordingly, Rialto believes that its financial condition will not have any material impact on the Rialto Outside Serviced Whole Loans performance or the performance of the Certificates.

 

From time to time Rialto is a party to lawsuits and other legal proceedings as part of its duties as a loan servicer (e.g., enforcement of loan obligations) and/or arising in the ordinary course of business. Rialto does not believe that any such lawsuits or legal proceedings would, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on its business or its ability to service the Rialto Outside Serviced Whole Loans as applicable pursuant to the GSMS 2017-GS7 PSA, the UBS 2017-C4 PSA and the CD 2017-CD5 PSA, respectively. There are currently no legal proceedings pending, and no legal proceedings known to be contemplated by governmental authorities, against Rialto or of which any of its property is the subject, that are material to the Certificateholders or the Retained Interest Owner.

 

Rialto occasionally engages consultants to perform property inspections and to provide surveillance on a property and its local market; it currently does not have any plans to engage sub-servicers to perform on its behalf any of its duties with respect to this transaction with the exception of some outsourced base servicing functions.

 

In the commercial mortgage-backed securitizations in which Rialto acts as special servicer, Rialto may enter into one or more arrangements with any party entitled to appoint or remove and replace the special servicer to provide for a discount and/or revenue sharing with respect to certain of the special servicer compensation in consideration of, among other things, Rialto’s appointment as special servicer under the applicable servicing agreement and limitations on such person’s right to replace Rialto as the special servicer.

 

Rialto is an affiliate of (i) the entity that (a) was appointed as the initial controlling class certificateholder and the initial controlling class representative under the GSMS 2017-GS7 PSA, (b) was appointed as the initial controlling class certificateholder and the initial controlling class representative under the UBS 2017-C4 PSA and (c) was appointed as the initial controlling class certificateholder and the initial controlling class representative under the CD 2017-CD5 PSA and (ii) Rialto Mortgage Finance, LLC, a sponsor, mortgage loan seller and originator.

 

As of the Closing Date, neither Rialto nor any of its affiliates will retain any certificates issued by the issuing entity or any other economic interest in this securitization. However,

 

 365

 

 

Rialto or its affiliates may, from time to time after the initial sale of the certificates to investors on the Closing Date, acquire certificates pursuant to secondary market transactions. Any such party will have the right to dispose of such certificates at any time.

The commercial real estate loans that BPC originates and for which BPC provides servicing may include mortgage loans secured by the same types of income producing properties as those securing the underlying mortgage loans backing the series UBS 2107-C5 certificates. Accordingly, the assets that BPC services as well as assets originated and/or owned by it or its affiliates may, depending upon the particular circumstances, including the nature and location of such assets, compete with the mortgaged real properties securing the underlying mortgage loans for tenants, purchasers, financing and so forth.

 

BPC has developed policies and procedures for the performance of its servicing obligations in compliance with applicable USAP and Reg AB servicing standards. BPC uses the Enterprise! Servicing system and generally utilizes technology infrastructure to bolster and facilitate controls for compliance with pooling and servicing agreements, loan administration and procedures in workout/resolution and commercially appropriate standardization and automation to provide for improved accuracy, efficiency, transparency, monitoring and controls. Through its web portal, Portfolio Investor Insight®, BPC provides its investors access to data and reports for the loans that it services. Borrowers may also access monthly statements as well as current and historical loan information through a password protected website, Borrower Insight®.

 

BPC may from time to time engage consultants to perform property inspections and to provide asset management on certain properties. BPC does not have any material primary advancing obligations with respect to the CMBS pools as to which it is a primary servicer, and accordingly BPC does not believe that its financial condition will have any adverse effect on the performance of its duties under the series UBS 2107-C5 pooling and servicing

 

 367

 

 

agreement nor any material impact on the mortgage pool performance or the performance of the series UBS 2107-C5 certificates.

 

BPC will not have primary responsibility for custody services of original documents evidencing the underlying mortgage loans. On occasion, BPC may have custody of certain of such documents as necessary for the performance of its duties with respect to underlying Mortgage Loans or otherwise. To the extent that BPC has custody of any such documents, such documents will be maintained in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard.

 

BPC is not an affiliate of any of the sponsors, the issuing entity, the depositor, the master servicer, the trustee or any originator other than CCRE Lending and is not an affiliate of any underwriter other than Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. Other than its relationship with CCRE Lending and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (and indirectly any relationships of those two entities disclosed elsewhere in this prospectus), there are no specific relationships involving or relating to this transaction or the securitized mortgage loans between BPC or any of its affiliates, on the one hand, and the depositor, the sponsors or the issuing entity, on the other hand, that currently exist or that existed during the past two (2) years. In addition, there are no business relationships, agreements, arrangements, transactions or understandings that have been entered into outside the ordinary course of business or on terms other than would be obtained in an arm’s length transaction with an unrelated third party -- apart from the subject securitization transaction -- between BPC or any of its affiliates, on the one hand, and the depositor, the sponsors or the issuing entity, on the other hand, that currently exist or that existed during the past two (2) years and that are material to an investor’s understanding of the series UBS 2107-C5 certificates.

 

No securitization transaction involving commercial or multifamily mortgage loans in which BPC is acting as primary or special servicer has experienced an event of default as a result of any action or inaction performed by BPC in such capacity. In addition, there has been no previous disclosure of material non-compliance with servicing criteria by BPC with respect to any other securitization transaction involving commercial or multifamily mortgage loans in which BPC was acting as primary servicer or special servicer.

 

From time to time, BPC and its affiliates are parties to lawsuits and other legal proceedings by governmental authorities or other entities arising in the ordinary course of business. BPC does not believe that any such current lawsuits or legal proceedings would, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on its business or its ability to serve as servicer or be material to a series UBS 2107-C5 certificateholder.

 

Neither BPC nor any of its affiliates intends to retain any certificates issued by the issuing entity or any other economic interest in this securitization.

Summary of BPC Primary Servicing Agreement

 

General. BPC has acquired the right to be appointed as the primary servicer of the Mortgage Loans secured by the Mortgaged Properties identified on Annex A-1 Loyalty and Hamilton and Holiday Inn Express Tallahassee (the “BPC Primary Serviced Mortgage Loans”). Accordingly, Midland, as master servicer, and BPC, as primary servicer, will enter

 

 368

 

 

into a primary servicing agreement, dated as of November 1, 2017 (the “BPC Primary Servicing Agreement”). The primary servicing of the BPC Primary Serviced Mortgage Loans will be governed by the BPC Primary Servicing Agreement. The following summary describes certain provisions of the BPC Primary Servicing Agreement relating to the primary servicing and administration of the BPC Primary Serviced Mortgage Loans. The summary does not purport to be complete and is subject, and qualified in its entirety, by reference to the provisions of the BPC Primary Servicing Agreement.

 

Summary of Duties. With respect to the BPC Primary Serviced Mortgage Loans, BPC, as primary servicer, will be responsible for performing the primary servicing of the BPC Primary Serviced Mortgage Loans in a manner consistent with the PSA and the Servicing Standard. Primary servicing will include:

 

maintaining the servicing file and releasing files upon borrower request or payoff of such mortgage loan as approved by the master servicer;

 

(i) within 5 business days of receipt of a repurchase demand, reporting any such repurchase demand to the master servicer and forwarding a copy of such repurchase demand to the master servicer, (ii) within 5 business days of discovery or notice of a document defect or breach, notifying the master servicer in writing of any discovered document defect or breach of a mortgage loan representation, (iii) promptly providing the master servicer with any documentation in BPC’s possession reasonably requested by the master servicer and (iv) cooperating with the master servicer in pursuing its obligations to make a repurchase claim against the related mortgage loan seller;

 

collecting monthly payments and escrow and reserve payments and maintaining a segregated primary servicer collection account and applicable escrow and reserve accounts to hold such collections;

 

remitting to the master servicer on a timely basis monthly payments less any primary servicing fees, escrow and reserve payments and payments in the nature of additional servicing compensation due to BPC, as primary servicer;

 

preparing such reports, including a day one report, monthly remittance report and such other reports as reasonably requested by the master servicer from time to time;

 

collecting monthly and quarterly borrower reports, rent rolls and operating statements;

 

performing annual inspections of the related mortgaged property and providing inspection reports to the master servicer;

 

monitoring borrower insurance obligations on such loans and related specially serviced loans and obtaining such property level insurance when the borrower fails to maintain such insurance;

 

maintaining errors and omissions insurance and an appropriate fidelity bond;

 

notifying the master servicer of any borrower requests or transactions; provided, however, that BPC will not approve or consummate any borrower request or transaction without obtaining the prior written consent of the master servicer;

 

 369

 

 

promptly notifying master servicer of any defaults under a BPC Primary Serviced Mortgage Loan, collection issues or customer issues; provided that BPC will not take any action with respect to enforcing such loans without the prior written approval of the master servicer;

 

in connection with any request for materials by the asset representations reviewer with respect to this PSA or any other asset representations reviewer, promptly providing master servicer with any documents requested by the master servicer and cooperating with the master servicer in connection with its obligations relating to such request; and

 

with respect to all servicing responsibilities of the master servicer under the PSA which are not being performed by BPC under the BPC Primary Servicing Agreement, BPC will reasonably cooperate with the master servicer to facilitate the timely performance of such servicing responsibilities.

 

BPC’s custodial responsibilities are limited to original letters of credit as long as it (i) has a vault or other adequate safety procedures in place satisfactory to the master servicer, in its sole discretion, or (ii) outsources such responsibility to a third party vendor satisfactory to the master servicer, who has a vault or other adequate safety procedures in place satisfactory to the master servicer, in its sole discretion.

 

BPC will provide to master servicer access to all the servicing files, mortgage loan files and servicing systems maintained by BPC with respect to the BPC Primary Serviced Mortgage Loans for audit and review. BPC will not take any action (whether or not authorized under the BPC Primary Servicing Agreement) that would result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the issuing entity or cause either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust. BPC will fully cooperate with the master servicer in connection with avoiding the imposition of a tax on any portion of the issuing entity or cause either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust.

 

BPC will also timely provide such certifications, reports and registered public accountant attestations required by the BPC Primary Servicing Agreement or by the master servicer to permit it to comply with the PSA and the depositor to comply with its Exchange Act reporting obligations.

 

The master servicer and BPC will each designate a portfolio manager and other appropriate personnel to receive documents and communications between each other such that BPC is able to perform its obligations under the BPC Primary Servicing Agreement and the master servicer is able to perform its supervisory authority over BPC. BPC will not communicate directly with the special servicer, the Directing Certificateholder or any Rating Agency except in very limited circumstances set forth in the BPC Primary Servicing Agreement.

 

BPC will have no obligation to make any principal and interest advance or any servicing advances. BPC will not make any Major Decisions, Special Servicer Non-Major Decisions or take any other action requiring the approval of the master servicer under the BPC Primary Servicing Agreement without the prior written approval of the master servicer.

 

Such consent may be subject to: (a) the prior approval of the special servicer, the Directing Certificateholder or any mezzanine loan lender, as applicable, if so required under the PSA or the related Mortgage Loan documents, which approval may be withheld in such

 

 370

 

 

person’s sole discretion, and (b) obtaining any Rating Agency Confirmation required under the PSA or the related Mortgage Loan documents, which confirmation may be withheld in such person’s sole discretion. The master servicer will request any such approvals or Rating Agency Confirmation.

 

Compensation. As compensation for its activities under the BPC Primary Servicing Agreement, the primary servicing fee will be paid only to the extent that the master servicer receives the Servicing Fee with respect to the BPC Primary Serviced Mortgage Loans under the PSA. BPC is not entitled to any Prepayment Interest Excess. BPC will be entitled to such additional servicing compensation as set forth in the BPC Primary Servicing Agreement. Generally, if received and the master servicer is entitled to retain such amounts under the PSA, BPC will also be entitled to retain, with respect to the BPC Primary Serviced Mortgage Loans, as additional primary servicing compensation (the “Additional Primary Servicing Compensation”), the following:

 

100% of the master servicer’s share of late payment charges, demand charges and default interest to the extent BPC is performing the related collection work and to the extent not required to offset (a) interest on Advances or (b) certain additional trust fund expenses incurred with respect to the related BPC Primary Serviced Mortgage Loan;

 

100% of the master servicer’s share of any charges for beneficiary statements to the extent such beneficiary statements were prepared by BPC and amounts collected for checks returned for insufficient funds relating to the accounts held by BPC;

 

50% of the master servicer’s share of any Excess Modification Fees, assumption application fees, assumption, waiver, consent and earnout fees, review fees and similar fees; and

 

subject to certain limitations set forth in the PSA, any interest or other income earned on deposits in the related accounts held by BPC.

 

BPC will not be entitled to any Additional Primary Servicing Compensation in the form of fees earned with respect to the processing of any Special Servicer Non-Major Decision performed by the special servicer; provided, however, if the master servicer and BPC mutually agree that BPC will process any Special Servicer Non-Major Decision following approval of such decision by the special servicer and BPC processes such Special Servicer Non-Major Decision, BPC will be entitled to the applicable fee as described above.

 

BPC will be required to promptly remit to the master servicer any additional servicing compensation or other amounts received by it which BPC is not entitled to retain. Except as otherwise provided, BPC will pay all its overhead and similar expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities under the BPC Primary Servicing Agreement.

 

Indemnification; Limitation of Liability. Neither BPC nor any partners, directors, officers, shareholders, members, managers, employees or agents of BPC (the “BPC Parties”) will be under any liability to the master servicer for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action, in good faith pursuant to the BPC Primary Servicing Agreement, or for errors in judgment. However, this will not protect the BPC Parties against any liability which would be imposed by reason of any breach of warranties or representations made in the BPC Primary Servicing Agreement, or against any liability that would otherwise be imposed on BPC by reason of its willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence (or by reason of any specific liability imposed under the BPC Primary Servicing Agreement for a breach of the

 

 371

 

 

accepted primary servicing practices) in the performance of its obligations and duties under the BPC Primary Servicing Agreement or by reason of its negligent disregard of its obligations and duties under the BPC Primary Servicing Agreement. The BPC Parties will be indemnified and held harmless by the master servicer against any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses incurred in connection with any actual or threatened legal or administrative action (whether in equity or at law) or claim relating to the BPC Primary Servicing Agreement (collectively, the “Losses“) incurred by BPC (1) by reason of the master servicer’s willful misconduct, bad faith, negligence in the performance of its obligations and duties under the BPC Primary Servicing Agreement or negligent disregard of its obligations and duties under the BPC Primary Servicing Agreement or (2) in connection with, or relating to, the BPC Primary Servicing Agreement, the BPC Primary Serviced Mortgage Loans or the Certificates, other than any Losses incurred by BPC (i) that are specifically required to be borne by BPC without right of reimbursement pursuant to the terms of the BPC Primary Servicing Agreement or (ii) incurred by reason of (A) a breach of any representation or warranty by BPC or (B) willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence of BPC in the performance of its respective obligations and duties under the BPC Primary Servicing Agreement or negligent disregard of its respective obligations and duties under the BPC Primary Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that the indemnification under clause (2) above will be strictly limited to any actual amount of indemnification received by the master servicer under the PSA as a result of pursuing the issuing entity on behalf of BPC for such indemnification.

 

BPC will indemnify and hold harmless the master servicer and its partners, directors, officers, shareholders, members, managers, employees or agents against any Losses incurred by the master servicer by reason of (1) any breach by BPC of a representation or warranty made by BPC in the BPC Primary Servicing Agreement or (2) any willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence by BPC in the performance of its respective obligations and duties under the BPC Primary Servicing Agreement or under the PSA or by reason of negligent disregard of such obligations and duties.

 

Resignation. The BPC Primary Servicing Agreement will generally provide that BPC may not resign from the obligations and duties imposed on it under the BPC Primary Servicing Agreement unless BPC provides to the master servicer sixty (60) days prior written notice of such resignation or such lesser notice as may be acceptable to the master servicer to enable the master servicer to assume all of BPC’s rights, powers, duties and obligations under the BPC Primary Servicing Agreement.

the master servicer elects to terminate BPC following a BPC Primary Servicer Termination Event (as defined below);

Credit Risk Retention

 

General

 

This transaction is required to comply with the credit risk retention regulations promulgated pursuant to Section 15G of the Exchange Act, as such regulations relate to commercial mortgage-backed securities (the “Credit Risk Retention Rules”). UBS AG, New York Branch has been designated by the sponsors to act as the risk-retaining sponsor (in such capacity, the “Retaining Sponsor”) under the Credit Risk Retention Rules and UBS AG, New York Branch will elect to satisfy its risk retention requirements through the purchase by a “third-party purchaser” of an “eligible horizontal residual interest” (each as defined in the Credit Risk Retention Rules). It is expected that KKR Real Estate Credit Opportunity Partners Aggregator I L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Third Party Purchaser”), will act as the “third-party purchaser” by purchasing the Yield-Priced Principal Balance Certificates set forth in the table below under “—Material Terms of the Yield-Priced Principal Balance Certificates”, and will agree to hedging, transfer, financing and other restrictions applicable to a “third-party purchaser” (and its affiliates) under the Credit Risk Retention Rules.

 

Notwithstanding any references in this prospectus to the Credit Risk Retention Rules, the Retaining Sponsor, the Third Party Purchaser and other risk retention related matters, in the event the Credit Risk Retention Rules (or any relevant

 

 376

 

 

portion thereof) are repealed or determined by applicable regulatory agencies to be no longer applicable to this securitization transaction, none of the Retaining Sponsor, the Third Party Purchaser or any other party will be required to comply with or act in accordance with the Credit Risk Retention Rules (or such relevant portion thereof).

 

Qualifying CRE Loans; Required Credit Risk Retention Percentage

 

The sponsors have determined that for purposes of this transaction 0.0% of the Initial Pool Balance (the “Qualifying CRE Loan Percentage”) is comprised of Mortgage Loans that are “qualifying CRE loans” as such term is described in the Credit Risk Retention Rules.

 

The total required credit risk retention percentage (the “Required Credit Risk Retention Percentage”) for this transaction is 5.0%. The Required Credit Risk Retention Percentage is equal to the product of (i) 1 minus the Qualifying CRE Loan Percentage (expressed as a decimal) and (ii) 5.0%; subject to a minimum Required Credit Risk Retention Percentage of no less than 2.50% if the issuing entity includes any non-qualifying CRE loans.

 

Material Terms of the Yield-Priced Principal Balance Certificates

 

CMBS such as the Yield-Priced Principal Balance Certificates are typically priced based relative to either the swap yield curve or to a targeted yield. The method of pricing used is primarily a function of the rating, but can also be determined by prevailing market conditions or investor preference. For this transaction, the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-S, Class B, Class C and Class D certificates (the “Swap-Priced Principal Balance Certificates”) are anticipated to be priced based on the swap yield curve, and the Class D-RR, Class E-RR, Class F-RR, Class G-RR and Class NR-RR certificates (the “Yield-Priced Principal Balance Certificates”) are anticipated to be priced based on a targeted yield. The Retaining Sponsor calculated the expected scheduled principal payments (the “Scheduled Certificate Principal Payments”) on each class of Swap-Priced Principal Balance Certificates and each class of Yield Priced Principal Balance Certificates as described below. CMBS such as the Class X-A and Class X-B certificates (the “Interest-Only Certificates”) are typically priced relative to the treasury yield curve. The Retaining Sponsor made its determination of the fair value of the Swap-Priced Principal Balance Certificates and the Interest-Only Certificates based on a number of inputs and assumptions consistent with these typical pricing methodologies in the manner described below for the applicable class of Certificates. It should be noted in reviewing the fair value discussion below, that certain of the inputs and assumptions, such as yields, credit spreads, prices and coupons, are not directionally correlated. Variations from the base case in the direction of the high or low estimates will not necessarily occur in the same manner, in the same direction or to the same degree for each applicable input or assumption at any given point in time or as a result of any particular market condition. For example, with respect to any particular class of certificates, swap yields may widen in the direction of the high estimate provided, while credit spreads and/or prices move in the direction of the low estimate provided. The Third Party Purchaser is expected to purchase the Yield–Priced Principal Balance Certificates identified in the table below that collectively comprise the eligible horizontal residual interest for cash on the Closing Date.

(1)The approximate initial Certificate Balance of the Class D-RR certificates are estimated based in part on the estimated ranges of Certificate Balances and estimated fair values described herein under “Credit Risk Retention”. The Class D-RR Certificate Balance is expected to fall within a range of $13,154,000 and $16,599,000.

 

(2)The estimated fair value of the applicable Certificate Balance of the indicated class of certificates expressed as a percentage of the estimated fair value of all of the certificates issued by the issuing entity and as a dollar amount. For a description of the manner in which the Retaining Sponsor determined the estimated fair value of the certificates, see “—Determination of Amount of Required Credit Risk Retention” below.

 

(3)The fair value dollar amount of the Yield-Priced Principal Balance Certificates is not subject to a range, but is based on a targeted discount yield, and has been determined as described under “—Yield-Priced Principal Balance Certificates” and “—Calculation of Estimated Fair Value”. The fair value of the other Regular Certificates is unknown and has been determined by the Retaining Sponsor as described under “—Swap-Priced Principal Balance CertificatesDetermination of Swap-Priced Expected Price” below.

 

(4)Expressed as a percentage of the expected initial Certificate Balance of each class of Yield-Priced Principal Balance Certificates, excluding accrued interest. The aggregate purchase price expected to be paid for the Yield-Priced Principal Balance Certificates to be acquired by the Third Party Purchaser is approximately $38,105,466 excluding accrued interest.

 

(5)The Class D-RR Certificates are expected to have an estimated fair value that falls within a range of $6,426,751 and $8,109,901.

 

The aggregate estimated fair value of the Yield-Priced Principal Balance Certificates in the above table is equal to at least 5% of the estimated fair value of all of the Classes of Regular Certificates issued by the issuing entity.

 

Material Terms of the Eligible Horizontal Residual Interest

 

On any Distribution Date, the aggregate amount available for distributions from the Mortgage Loans, net of specified servicing and administrative costs and expenses, will be distributed to the Certificates in sequential order in accordance with their respective principal and interest entitlements (beginning with the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class X-A and Class X-B Certificates), in each case as set forth under “Description of the Certificates—Distributions—Priority of Distributions”. On any Distribution Date, Realized Losses on the Mortgage Loans will be allocated first, to the Yield-Priced Principal Balance Certificates (in reverse sequential order), second, to the Class C Certificates, third, to the Class B Certificates, fourth, to the Class A-S Certificates, and fifth, to the Senior Certificates (other than the Class X Certificates), in each case until the Certificate Balance of that Class has been reduced to zero. See “Description of the Certificates—Distributions—Priority of Distributions”.

The Third Party Purchaser

 

It is anticipated that KKR Real Estate Credit Opportunity Partners Aggregator I L.P. (the “Third Party Purchaser”), will act as the “third-party purchaser” by purchasing the Yield-Priced Principal Balance Certificates set forth in the table above under “—Qualifying CRE Loans; Required Credit Risk Retention Percentage”, and will agree to hedging, transfer, financing and other restrictions applicable to a “third-party purchaser” (and its affiliates) under the Credit Risk Retention Rules.

 

KKR Real Estate Credit Opportunity Partners Aggregator I L.P. (“KKR Opportunity Partners”), a Delaware limited partnership, is expected, (i) to purchase the Class D-RR, Class E-RR, Class F-RR, Class G-RR, Class NR-RR and Class Z Certificates and (ii) to act as the Third Party Purchaser. KKR Opportunity Partners was formed primarily to invest in junior tranches of commercial mortgaged-backed securities (“CMBS B-Piece Securities”). The Class D-RR, Class E-RR, Class F-RR, Class G-RR and Class NR-RR Certificates will represent KKR Opportunity Partners’ tenth purchase of CMBS B-Piece Securities, each of which has occurred subsequent to the implementation of the Credit Risk Retention Rules. KKR Opportunity Partners is advised by Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. (“KKR”). KKR is an experienced commercial real estate debt investor. Certain senior members of KKR’s real estate credit team have over 20 years of CMBS experience as of June 30, 2017. Funds advised by KKR have made investments in floating-rate whole loans on transitional properties, subordinate debt, preferred equity and CMBS B-Piece Securities. As of June 30, 2017, funds advised by KKR own 27 separate real estate credit investments. As of June 30, 2017, KKR is responsible for approximately $148.5 billion in client or limited partner assets under management. KKR is registered as an investment adviser under the U.S. Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended.

 

The Third Party Purchaser has represented to the depositor that solely for its own purposes and benefit, it has completed an independent review of the credit risk of each mortgage loan. The review consisted of a review of the sponsors’ underwriting standards as provided by the sponsors, the collateral securing each mortgage loan and expected cash flows related to the mortgage loans. Such review was based on the mortgage loan files and information regarding the mortgage loans provided by or on behalf of the sponsors and was not independently verified by the Third Party Purchaser. The Third Party Purchaser performed its due diligence solely for its own benefit. The Third Party Purchaser has no liability to any person or entity for the manner in which it conducted its due diligence or the extent of such due diligence. Third Party Purchaser’s review and conclusions may not be relied upon by anyone else and may not be construed as an approval or endorsement of the sponsors’ underwriting standards or of any mortgage loan or any loan level disclosure in this prospectus. The Third Party Purchaser makes no representations or warranties with respect to any such underwriting standards, information or disclosure and has not independently verified the truth or accuracy of any representations and warranties made by the sponsors or any other party to the transaction or any related documents.

 

The Third Party Purchaser is not required to take into account the interests of any other investor in the certificates or any other party in conducting its due diligence or in exercising remedies or voting or other rights in its capacity as owner of its certificates or in making requests or recommendations to the sponsors as to the selection of the mortgage loans and the establishment of other transaction terms. Investors and other third parties are not entitled to rely on in any way the Third Party Purchaser’s due diligence or acceptance of a mortgage loan. The Third Party Purchaser’s acceptance of a mortgage loan does not constitute, and may not be construed as, an endorsement or approval of any such mortgage loan, the underwriting for such mortgage loan or of the originator of such mortgage loan.

 

 379

 

 

The Third Party Purchaser will have no liability to any certificateholder for any actions taken by it and the pooling and servicing agreement will provide that each certificateholder, by its acceptance of a certificate, forever waives and releases any claims against Third Party Purchaser and such buyers, and their respective affiliates, in respect of such actions.

Determination of Amount of Required Credit Risk Retention

 

General

 

A number of inputs factored into the Retaining Sponsor’s determination of the range of estimated fair values of the classes of certificates presented above. The Retaining Sponsor computed the range of estimated fair values for the Swap-Priced Principal Balance Certificates and the Interest-Only Certificates and the fair value of the Yield-Priced Principal Balance Certificates in the manner described below for the applicable class of certificates.

 

Swap-Priced Principal Balance Certificates

 

Based on the Structuring Assumptions and assuming a 0% CPR prepayment rate, the Retaining Sponsor calculated what the Scheduled Certificate Principal Payments on each Class of Swap-Priced Principal Balance Certificates would be over the course of this securitization transaction based on when principal payments were required to be made under the terms of the underlying mortgage loan documents during each Collection Period and which classes of Swap-Priced Principal Balance Certificates would be entitled to receive principal payments based on the certificate payment priorities described in “Description of CertificatesDistributionsPriority of Distributions”. On the basis of the Scheduled Certificate Principal Payments, the Retaining Sponsor calculated the weighted average life for each class of Swap-Priced Principal Balance Certificates.

 

Swap Yield Curve

 

The Retaining Sponsor utilized the assumed swap yield curve in the table below in determining the range of estimated fair values of the Swap-Priced Principal Balance Certificates. The actual swap yield curve that will be used as a basis for determining the price of the Swap-Priced Principal Balance Certificates is not known at this time and differences in the swap yield curve will ultimately result in higher or lower fair value calculations. For an expected range of values at specified points along the swap yield curve, see the table below titled “Range of Swap Yields for the Swap-Priced Principal Balance Certificates”. The Retaining Sponsor identified the range presented in the table below at each maturity on the swap yield curve, which represents the Retaining Sponsor’s estimate of the largest increase or decrease in the swap yield at that maturity reasonably expected to occur prior to pricing of the Swap-Priced Principal Balance Certificates, based on 10 business day rolling periods over the past 6 months.

10YR  2.1435%  2.3783%  2.6131%

 

Based on the swap yield curve, the Retaining Sponsor will determine for each class of Swap-Priced Principal Balance Certificates the swap yield reflected on the swap yield curve (the “Interpolated Yield”) that corresponds to that class’s weighted average life, by using a linear interpolation using the swap yield curve with 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 year maturities if the weighted average life does not correspond to a specified maturity on the swap yield curve.

 

Credit Spread Determination

 

The Retaining Sponsor determined the credit spread for each class of Swap-Priced Principal Balance Certificates on the basis of market bids obtained for similar CMBS with similar credit ratings, pool composition and asset quality, payment priority and weighted average lives of the related class of Swap Priced Principal Balance Certificates as of the date of this prospectus. The actual credit spread for a particular class of Swap Priced Principal Balance Certificates at the time of pricing is not known at this time and differences in the then-current credit spread demanded by investors for similar CMBS will ultimately result in higher or lower fair values. The Retaining Sponsor identified the range presented in the table below from the base case credit spread percentage, which represents the Retaining Sponsor’s estimate of the largest increase or decrease in the credit spread for newly issued CMBS reasonably expected to occur prior to pricing of the Swap Priced Principal Balance Certificates based on the Retaining Sponsor’s observation and experience in the placement of CMBS with similar characteristics.

Discount Yield Determination

 

The discount yield (the “Discount Yield”) for each class of Swap-Priced Principal Balance Certificates is the sum of the Interpolated Yield for such class and the related credit spread established at pricing. For an expected range of estimated values for each class of Swap-Priced Principal Balance Certificates, see the table titled “Range of Discount Yields for the Swap-Priced Principal Balance Certificates” below. The Retaining Sponsor identified the range presented in the table below for each such class of Swap-Priced Principal Balance Certificates as the range from (i) the sum of the lowest estimated Interpolated Yield for that class and the lowest estimated credit spread to (ii) the sum of the highest estimated Interpolated Yield for that class and the highest estimated credit spread.

Class C  3.5434%  4.2282%  4.9130%
Class D  4.3934%  5.3782%  6.3630%

 

Determination of Class Sizes

 

The sponsors were provided credit support levels for each class of Swap-Priced Principal Balance Certificates by each Rating Agency. A credit support level for a particular class of Swap-Priced Principal Balance Certificates reflects the Rating Agency’s assessment of the aggregate principal balance of Swap-Priced Principal Balance Certificates that would be required to be subordinate to that class of Swap-Priced Principal Balance Certificates in order to satisfy that Rating Agency’s internal ratings criteria to permit it to issue a particular credit rating. Based on the individual credit support levels (expressed as a percentage) provided by the Rating Agencies, the sponsors determined the highest required credit support level of the Rating Agencies selected to rate a particular class of Swap-Priced Principal Balance Certificates (the “Constraining Level”). In certain circumstances the sponsors may have elected not to engage an NRSRO for particular Classes of Yield-Priced Principal Balance Certificates, based in part on the credit support levels provided by that NRSRO. See “Risk FactorsOther Risks Relating to the CertificatesNationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations May Assign Different Ratings to the Certificates; Ratings of the Certificates Reflect Only the Views of the Applicable Rating Agencies as of the Dates Such Ratings Were Issued; Ratings May Affect ERISA Eligibility; Ratings May Be Downgraded”. The Certificate Balances of the Senior Certificates were also based in part on anticipated investor demand for such classes. The Certificate Balance for the class of Swap-Priced Principal Balance Certificates with the highest credit rating was determined by multiplying the Initial Pool Balance by a percentage equal to 1.0 minus that class’s Constraining Level. For each other subordinate class of Swap-Priced Principal Balance Certificates, that class’s Certificate Balance was determined by multiplying the Initial Pool Balance by a percentage equal to the difference of the Constraining Level for the immediately senior class of Swap-Priced Principal Balance Certificates minus such subordinate class’s Constraining Level.

 

 382

 

 

Target Price Determination

 

The Retaining Sponsor determined a target price (the “Target Price”) for each class of Swap-Priced Principal Balance Certificates on the basis of the price (expressed as a percentage of the certificate balance of that class) that similar CMBS with similar credit ratings and similar average lives have priced at in recent securitization transactions. The Target Price was utilized for each class of Swap-Priced Principal Balance Certificates is set forth in the table below. The Target Prices utilized by the Retaining Sponsor have not changed materially during the prior year.

 

Class of Certificates(1)

  Target Price
Class A-1  100.00%
Class A-2  103.00%
Class A-SB  103.00%

Class A-4  101.00%
Class A-5  103.00%
Class A-S  103.00%
Class B  103.00%
Class C  103.00%
 
(1)The Target Price may not be realized with respect to Class B and Class C if such classes accrue interest at the WAC Rate.

 

Determination of Assumed Certificate Coupon

 

Based on the Target Price, the Discount Yield and the Scheduled Certificate Principal Payments for each class of Swap-Priced Principal Balance Certificates, the Retaining Sponsor determined the assumed certificate coupon (the “Assumed Certificate Coupon”) by calculating what coupon would be required to be used based on the Scheduled Certificate Principal Payments for such class of Swap-Priced Principal Balance Certificates in order to achieve the related Target Price for that class of Swap-Priced Principal Balance Certificates when utilizing the related Discount Yield in determining that Target Price. The Assumed Certificate Coupon for each class of Swap-Priced Principal Balance Certificates and Range of Assumed Certificate Coupons generated as a result of the estimated range of Discount Yields as of the Closing Date is set forth in the table below.

Determination of Swap-Priced Expected Price

 

Based on the Assumed Certificate Coupons, the Discount Yield and the Scheduled Certificate Principal Payments for each class of Swap-Priced Principal Balance Certificates, the Retaining Sponsor determined the price (the “Swap-Priced Expected Price”) expressed as a percent of the certificate balance of that class by determining the net present value of the Scheduled Certificate Principal Payments accruing at the related Assumed Certificate Coupon discounted at the related Discount Yield. However, if the Assumed Certificate Coupon for any class of Swap-Priced Principal Balance Certificates is greater than or equal to the WAC Rate, then the WAC Rate was used for the foregoing calculation. The Retaining Sponsor determined the range of Swap-Priced Expected Prices for each class of Swap-Priced Principal Balance Certificates based on the low estimate of the Assumed Certificate Coupons and the high estimate of the Assumed Certificate Coupons. The lower the Assumed Certificate Coupon, the higher the corresponding Swap-Priced Expected Price for a class of Swap-Priced Principal Balance Certificates will be. Therefore, the low range of estimated fair values for the Swap-Priced Principal Balance Certificates will correspond to the high range of the estimate of potential Assumed Certificate Coupons and correspondingly, the high range of estimated fair values for the Swap-Priced Principal Balance Certificates will correspond to the low range of the estimate of potential Assumed Certificate Coupons.

 

Interest-Only Certificates

 

Based on the Structuring Assumptions and assuming a 100% CPY prepayment rate, the Retaining Sponsor calculated what the expected scheduled interest payments on each class of Interest-Only Certificates would be over the course of the transaction (for each class of certificates, the “Scheduled Certificate Interest Payments”) based on what the Notional Amount of the related class of Interest-Only Certificates would be during each Collection Period as a result of the application of the expected principal payments during such Collection Period under the terms of the underlying Mortgage Loan documents assuming a 100% CPY prepayment rate and the classes of certificates that would be entitled to those principal payments based on the payment priorities described in “Description of CertificatesDistributionsPriority of Distributions”. On the basis of the periodic reduction in the Notional Amount of each Class of Interest-Only Certificates, the Retaining Sponsor calculated the weighted average life for each such class of Interest-Only Certificates.

 

Treasury Yield Curve

 

The Retaining Sponsor utilized the assumed treasury yield curve in the table below in determining the range of estimated fair value for the Interest-Only Certificates. The actual treasury yield curve that will be used as a basis for determining the price of the Interest-Only Certificates is not known at this time and differences in the treasury yield curve will ultimately result in higher or lower fair value calculations. For an expected range of values at specified points along the treasury yield curve, see the table below titled “Range of Treasury Yield Curve Values”. The Retaining Sponsor identified the range presented in the table below at each maturity on the treasury yield curve, which represents the Retaining Sponsor’s estimate of the largest increase or decrease in the treasury yield at that maturity reasonably expected to occur prior to pricing of the Interest-Only Certificates, based on 10 business day rolling periods over the past 6 months.

Range of Treasury Yield Curve Values

 

Tenor  Low Estimate of Treasury Yield  Base Case Treasury Yield  High Estimate of Treasury Yield
7YR  1.997%  2.244%  2.491%
10YR  2.156%  2.404%  2.652%

 

Based on the treasury yield curve, the Retaining Sponsor will determine for each class of Interest-Only Certificates the yield reflected on the treasury yield curve (the “Interpolated Yield”) that corresponds to that class’s weighted average life, by using a linear interpolation using treasury yield curves with 7 and 10 year maturity if the weighted average life does not correspond to a specified maturity on the treasury yield curve.

 

Credit Spread Determination

 

The Retaining Sponsor determined the credit spread for each class of Interest-Only Certificates on the basis of market bids obtained for similar CMBS with similar credit ratings, pool composition and asset quality, payment priority and weighted average lives of such class of Interest-Only Certificates as of the date of this prospectus. The actual credit spread for a particular class of Interest-Only Certificates at the time of pricing is not known at this time and differences in the then current credit spread demanded by investors for similar CMBS will ultimately result in higher or lower fair values. The Retaining Sponsor identified the range presented in the table below from the base case credit spread percentage, which is the Retaining Sponsor’s estimate of the largest percentage increase or decrease in the credit spread for newly issued CMBS reasonably expected to occur prior to pricing of the Certificates.

Class X-B   1.25%  1.50%  1.75%

 

Discount Yield Determination

 

Discount Yield for each class of Interest-Only Certificates is the sum of the Interpolated Yield for such class and the related credit spread. For an expected range of values for each class of Interest-Only Certificates, see the table titled “Range of Discount Yields for the Interest-Only Certificates” below. The Retaining Sponsor identified the range presented in the table below for each such class of certificates as the range from (i) the sum of the lowest estimated Interpolated Yield for that class and the lowest estimated credit spread to (ii) the sum of the highest estimated Interpolated Yield for that class and the highest estimated credit spread.

 

Range of Discount Yields for the Interest-Only Certificates

 

Class of Certificates  Low Estimate of Discount Yield  Base Case Discount Yield  High Estimate of Discount Yield
Class X-A   3.2909%  3.7882%  4.2855%
Class X-B   3.3877%  3.8856%  4.3836%

 

 385

 

 

Determination of Scheduled Certificate Interest Payments

 

Based on the range of Assumed Certificate Coupons determined for the Principal Balance Certificates, the Retaining Sponsor determined the range of Scheduled Certificate Interest Payments for each scenario for each Class of Interest-Only Certificates based on the difference between the WAC Rate in effect from time to time, over the weighted average of the Pass-Through Rate(s) of the underlying Class(es) of Principal Balance Certificates upon which the Notional Amount of such Class of Interest-Only Certificates is based.

 

Determination of Interest–Only Expected Price

 

Based on the Discount Yield and the Scheduled Certificate Interest Payments for each class of Interest-Only Certificates, the Retaining Sponsor determined the price (the “Interest-Only Expected Price”) expressed as a percent of the Notional Amount of that class by determining the net present value of the Scheduled Certificate Interest Payments discounted at the related Discount Yield. The Retaining Sponsor determined the Interest-Only Expected Price for each class of Interest-Only Certificates based on the low estimate and high estimate of Assumed Certificate Coupons. The lower the Assumed Certificate Coupon for the Principal Balance Certificates, the higher the corresponding Interest-Only Expected Price for a class of certificates will be, therefore, the low range of estimated fair values of the Interest-Only Certificates will correspond to the high range of the estimate of Assumed Certificate Coupons for the Principal Balance Certificates and correspondingly, the high range of estimated fair values of the Interest-Only Certificates will correspond to the low range of the estimate of Assumed Certificate Coupons for the Principal Balance Certificates.

 

Yield-Priced Principal Balance Certificates

 

On the basis of the Scheduled Certificate Principal Payments, the Retaining Sponsor calculated the weighted average life for each such class of Yield-Priced Principal Balance Certificates. The Yield-Priced Principal Balance Certificates are anticipated to be acquired by the Third Party Purchaser based on a targeted discount yield of 14.25% (inclusive of agreed upon price adjustments) for each class of Yield-Priced Principal Balance Certificates, an Assumed Certificate Coupon equal to the WAC Rate for each class of Yield-Priced Principal Balance Certificates, the Structuring Assumptions and 0% CPY, each as agreed to among the Retaining Sponsor and the Third Party Purchaser.

 

Determination of Class Size

 

The Retaining Sponsor determined the Certificate Balance of each class of Yield-Priced Principal Balance Certificates in the same manner described above under “—Determination of Amount of Required Credit Risk RetentionSwap-Priced Principal Balance CertificatesDetermination of Class Sizes”.

 

Determination of Yield-Priced Expected Price

 

Based on the Assumed Certificate Coupons, the targeted discount yield and the Scheduled Certificate Principal Payments for each class of Yield-Priced Principal Balance Certificates, the Retaining Sponsor determined the price (the “Yield-Priced Expected Price”) expressed as a percent of the Certificate Balance of that class by determining the net present value of the Scheduled Certificate Principal Payments accruing at the related Assumed Certificate Coupon discounted at the related Discount Yield.

 

 386

 

 

Calculation of Estimated Fair Value of All Certificates

 

Based on the Swap-Priced Expected Prices, the Interest-Only Expected Prices and the Yield-Priced Expected Prices, as applicable, the Retaining Sponsor determined the estimated fair value of each class of certificates by multiplying the range of the Swap-Priced Expected Prices, the Interest-Only Expected Prices and the Yield-Priced Expected Prices, as applicable, by the related Certificate Balance or Notional Amount. The Retaining Sponsor determined the range of estimated fair values for each class of certificates based on the low estimate and high estimate of Expected Prices.

Hedging, Transfer and Financing Restrictions

 

The Third Party Purchaser will agree to hedging, transfer and financing restrictions related to its ownership of the Yield-Priced Principal Balance Certificates consistent with all applicable hedging, transfer and financing restrictions that apply to “third party purchasers” under the Credit Risk Retention Rules.

 

 387

 

 

These restrictions will include an agreement by the Third Party Purchaser not to transfer the Yield-Priced Principal Balance Certificates (which, in the aggregate, are an “eligible horizontal residual interest” for this securitization) until November 16, 2022. On and after that date, the Third Party Purchaser may transfer the eligible horizontal residual interest to a successor third-party purchaser as long as the Third Party Purchaser satisfies all applicable provisions of the Credit Risk Retention Rules, including providing the sponsors with complete identifying information for the successor third-party purchaser and the successor third-party purchaser agreeing to comply with the hedging, transfer, financing and other restrictions applicable to subsequent third-party purchasers (and its affiliates) under the Credit Risk Retention Rules.

 

The restrictions on hedging and transfer under the Credit Risk Retention Rules as in effect on the Closing Date of this transaction will expire on and after the date that is the latest of (i) the date on which the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans has been reduced to 33% of the aggregate principal balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the Cut-off Date; (ii) the date on which the total unpaid principal obligations under the certificates has been reduced to 33% of the aggregate total unpaid principal obligations under the certificates as of the Closing Date; or (iii) two years after the Closing Date.

(1)The approximate initial Certificate Balances of the Class C, Class D and Class D-RR certificates are estimated based in part on the estimated ranges of Certificate Balances and estimated fair values described in “Credit Risk Retention”. The (a) Class C Certificate Balances are expected to fall within a range of $20,480,000 and $24,016,000, (b) Class D Certificate Balances are expected to fall within a range of $11,151,000 and $11,242,000, and (c) Class D-RR

 

 393

 

 

Certificate Balances are expected to fall within a range of $13,154,000 and $16,599,000, with, in each case, the ultimate Certificate Balance determined such that the aggregate fair value of the Yield-Priced Principal Balance Certificates will equal at least 5% of the estimated fair value of all of the Classes of Regular Certificates issued by the issuing entity.

 

The “Certificate Balance” of any class of Principal Balance Certificates outstanding at any time represents the maximum amount that its holders are entitled to receive as distributions allocable to principal from the cash flow on the Mortgage Loans and the other assets in the issuing entity, all as described in this prospectus. On each Distribution Date, the Certificate Balance of each class of Principal Balance Certificates will be reduced by any distributions of principal actually made on, and by any Realized Losses actually allocated to, that class of Principal Balance Certificates on that Distribution Date. In the event that Realized Losses previously allocated to a class of Principal Balance Certificates in reduction of its Certificate Balance are recovered subsequent to such Certificate Balance being reduced to zero, holders of such class of Principal Balance Certificates may receive distributions in respect of such recoveries in accordance with the distribution priorities described under “—Distributions—Priority of Distributions” below.

 

The Residual Certificates will not have a Certificate Balance or entitle their holders to distributions of principal or interest.

 

The Class X Certificates will not have Certificate Balances, nor will they entitle their holders to distributions of principal, but the Class X Certificates will represent the right to receive distributions of interest in an amount equal to the aggregate interest accrued on their respective notional amounts (each, a “Notional Amount”). The Notional Amount of the Class X-A certificates will equal the aggregate of the Certificate Balances of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4 and Class A-5 certificates outstanding from time to time. The initial Notional Amount of the Class X-A certificates will be approximately $520,382,000. The Notional Amount of the Class X-B certificates will equal the aggregate of the Certificate Balances of the Class A-S, Class B and Class C certificates outstanding from time to time. The initial Notional Amount of the Class X-B certificates will be approximately $133,813,000.

 

The Class Z certificates will not have a Certificate Balance nor will they entitle their holders to distributions of principal, but the Class Z certificates will represent the right to receive Excess Interest received on the ARD Loan allocated as described under “—Available Funds—Excess Interest” below.

 

The Mortgage Loans (exclusive of Excess Interest) will be held by the lower-tier REMIC (the “Lower-Tier REMIC”). The certificates (other than the Class Z certificates) will be issued by the upper-tier REMIC (the “Upper-Tier REMIC”) (collectively with the Lower-Tier REMIC, the “Trust REMICs”). The Excess Interest will be held in a grantor trust (the “Grantor Trust”), beneficial ownership of which will be represented by the Class Z certificates.

 

Distributions

 

Method, Timing and Amount

 

Distributions on the certificates are required to be made by the certificate administrator, to the extent of available funds as described in this prospectus, on the 4th business day following each Determination Date (each, a “Distribution Date”). The “Determination Date” will be the 11th day of each calendar month (or, if the 11th calendar day of that month is not a business day, then the next business day) commencing in December 2017.

 

 394

 

 

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any certificate) are required to be made to the Certificateholders in whose names the certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date. With respect to any Distribution Date, the “Record Date” will be the last business day of the month immediately preceding the month in which that Distribution Date occurs. These distributions are required to be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account specified by the Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities to accept such funds, if the Certificateholder has provided the certificate administrator with written wiring instructions no less than 5 business days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent distributions) or otherwise by check mailed to the Certificateholder. The final distribution on any certificate is required to be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of the certificate at the location that will be specified in a notice of the pendency of the final distribution. All distributions made with respect to a class of certificates will be allocated pro rata among the outstanding certificates of that class based on their respective Percentage Interests.

 

The “Percentage Interest” evidenced by any certificate (other than a Class Z or Class R certificate) will equal its initial denomination as of the Closing Date divided by the initial Certificate Balance or Notional Amount, as applicable, of the related class.

 

The master servicer is authorized but not required to direct the investment of funds held in the Collection Account and any Companion Distribution Account maintained by it, in U.S. government securities and other obligations that satisfy criteria established by the Rating Agencies (“Permitted Investments”). The master servicer will be entitled to retain any interest or other income earned on such funds and the master servicer will be required to bear any losses resulting from the investment of such funds, as provided in the PSA. The certificate administrator (if such certificate administrator is not Wells Fargo Bank) is authorized but not required to direct the investment of funds held in the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account and the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account in Permitted Investments. The certificate administrator will be entitled to retain any interest or other income earned on such funds and the certificate administrator will be required to bear any losses resulting from the investment of such funds, as provided in the PSA.

 

Available Funds

 

The aggregate amount available for distribution to holders of the certificates on each Distribution Date (the “Available Funds”) will, in general, equal the sum of the following amounts (without duplication):

 

(a)       the aggregate amount of all cash received on the Mortgage Loans (in the case of each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, only to the extent received by the issuing entity pursuant to the related Non-Serviced PSA) and any REO Property that is on deposit in the Collection Account (in each case, exclusive of any amount on deposit in or credited to any portion of the Collection Account that is held for the benefit of the holder of any related Companion Loan), as of the related P&I Advance Date, exclusive of (without duplication):

 

all scheduled payments of principal and/or interest and any balloon payments paid by the borrowers of a Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan (such amounts other than any Excess Interest, the “Periodic Payments”), that are due on a Due Date after the end of the related Collection Period, excluding interest relating to periods prior to, but due after, the Cut-off Date;

 

 395

 

 

all unscheduled payments of principal (including prepayments), unscheduled interest, liquidation proceeds, insurance proceeds and condemnation proceeds and other unscheduled recoveries received subsequent to the related Determination Date (or, with respect to voluntary prepayments of principal of each Mortgage Loan with a Due Date occurring after the related Determination Date, subsequent to the related Due Date) allocable to the Mortgage Loans;

 

all amounts in the Collection Account that are due or reimbursable to any person other than the Certificateholders;

 

with respect to each Actual/360 Loan and any Distribution Date occurring in each February or in any January occurring in a year that is not a leap year (in each case, unless such Distribution Date is the final Distribution Date), the related Withheld Amount to the extent those funds are on deposit in the Collection Account;

 

all Excess Interest allocable to the Mortgage Loans (which is separately distributed to the Class Z certificates);

 

all Yield Maintenance Charges and Prepayment Premiums;

 

all amounts deposited in the Collection Account in error; and

 

any late payment charges or accrued interest on a Mortgage Loan actually collected thereon and allocable to the default interest rate for such Mortgage Loan, to the extent permitted by law, excluding any interest calculated at the Mortgage Rate for the related Mortgage Loan;

 

(b)       if and to the extent not already included in clause (a), the aggregate amount transferred from the REO Account allocable to the Mortgage Loans to the Collection Account for such Distribution Date;

 

(c)       all Compensating Interest Payments made by the master servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loans with respect to such Distribution Date and P&I Advances made by the master servicer or the trustee, as applicable, with respect to the Distribution Date (net of certain amounts that are due or reimbursable to persons other than the Certificateholders);

 

(d)       with respect to each Actual/360 Loan and any Distribution Date occurring in each March (or February, if such Distribution Date is the final Distribution Date), the related Withheld Amounts as required to be deposited in the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account pursuant to the PSA; and

 

(e)       the Gain-on-Sale Remittance Amount for such Distribution Date.

 

The “Collection Period” for each Distribution Date and any Mortgage Loan (including any Companion Loan) will be the period beginning with the day after the Determination Date in the month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs (or, in the case of the first Distribution Date, commencing immediately following the Cut-off Date) and ending with the Determination Date occurring in the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the last day of a Collection Period is not a business day, any Periodic Payments received with respect to Mortgage Loans (including any periodic payments for any Companion Loan) relating to such Collection Period on the business day immediately following such day will be deemed to have been received during such Collection Period and not during any other Collection Period.

 

 396

 

 

Due Date” means, with respect to each Mortgage Loan (including any Companion Loan), the date on which scheduled payments of principal, interest or both are required to be made by the related borrower.

 

The “Gain-on-Sale Entitlement Amount” for each Distribution Date will be equal to the aggregate amount of (i) the sum of (a) the aggregate portion of the Interest Distribution Amount for each Class of Regular Certificates that would remain unpaid as of the close of business on the related Distribution Date, and (b) the amount by which the Principal Distribution Amount exceeds the aggregate amount that would actually be distributed on the related Distribution Date in respect of such Principal Distribution Amount, and (ii) any Realized Losses outstanding immediately after such Distribution Date, to the extent such amounts would occur on such Distribution Date or would be outstanding immediately after such Distribution Date, as applicable, without the inclusion of the Gain-on-Sale Remittance Amount as part of the definition of Available Funds. The “Gain-on-Sale Remittance Amount” for each Distribution Date will be equal to the lesser of (i) the amount on deposit in the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account on such Distribution Date, and (ii) the Gain-on-Sale Entitlement Amount.

 

Priority of Distributions

 

On each Distribution Date, for so long as the Certificate Balances or Notional Amounts of the Regular Certificates have not been reduced to zero, the certificate administrator is required to apply amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account, to the extent of the Available Funds, in the following order of priority:

 

First, to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class X-A and Class X-B certificates, in respect of interest, up to an amount equal to, and pro rata in accordance with, the respective Interest Distribution Amounts for such classes;

The “Cross-Over Date” means the Distribution Date on which the Certificate Balances of the Subordinate Certificates have all previously been reduced to zero as a result of the allocation of Realized Losses to those certificates.

 

Reimbursement of previously allocated Realized Losses will not constitute distributions of principal for any purpose and will not result in an additional reduction in the Certificate Balance of the class of certificates in respect of which a reimbursement is made.

 

Pass-Through Rates

 

The interest rate (the “Pass-Through Rate”) applicable to each class of certificates (other than the Class R certificates) for any Distribution Date will equal the rates set forth below:

 

The Pass-Through Rate on the Class A-1 certificates will be a per annum rate equal to [__]%.

 

The Pass-Through Rate on the Class A-2 certificates will be a per annum rate equal to [__]%.

 

The Pass-Through Rate on the Class A-SB certificates will be a per annum rate equal to [__]%.

 

The Pass-Through Rate on the Class A-3 certificates will be a per annum rate equal to [__]%.

 

The Pass-Through Rate on the Class A-4 certificates will be a per annum rate equal to [__]%.

 

The Pass-Through Rate on the Class A-5 certificates will be a per annum rate equal to [__]%.

 

The Pass-Through Rate on the Class A-S certificates will be a per annum rate equal to [__]%.

 

The Pass-Through Rate on the Class B certificates will be a per annum rate equal to [__]%.

 

The Pass-Through Rate on the Class C certificates will be a per annum rate equal to [__]%.

 

The Pass-Through Rate on the Class D certificates will be a per annum rate equal to [__]%.

 

The Pass-Through Rate on the Class D-RR certificates will be a per annum rate equal to [__]%.

 

The Pass-Through Rate on the Class E-RR certificates will be a per annum rate equal to [__]%.

 

The Pass-Through Rate on the Class F-RR certificates will be a per annum rate equal to [__]%.

 

 401

 

 

The Pass-Through Rate on the Class G-RR certificates will be a per annum rate equal to [__]%.

 

The Pass-Through Rate on the Class NR-RR certificates will be a per annum rate equal to [__]%.

 

The Pass-Through Rate for the Class X-A certificates for any Distribution Date will be a per annum rate equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the WAC Rate for the related Distribution Date, over (b) the weighted average of the Pass-Through Rates on the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4 and Class A-5 certificates for such Distribution Date, weighted on the basis of their respective Certificate Balances immediately prior to that Distribution Date.

 

The Pass-Through Rate for the Class X-B certificates for any Distribution Date will be a per annum rate equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the WAC Rate for the related Distribution Date, over (b) the weighted average of the Pass-Through Rates on the Class A-S, Class B and Class C certificates for the related Distribution Date, weighted on the basis of their respective Certificate Balances immediately prior to that Distribution Date.

 

The “WAC Rate” with respect to any Distribution Date is equal to the weighted average of the applicable Net Mortgage Rates of the Mortgage Loans (including any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) as of the first day of the related Collection Period, weighted on the basis of their respective Stated Principal Balances immediately following the preceding Distribution Date (or, in the case of the initial Distribution Date, as of the Closing Date).

 

The “Net Mortgage Rate” for each Mortgage Loan (including any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any REO Loan (other than the portion of the REO Loan related to any Companion Loan) is equal to the related Mortgage Rate then in effect (without regard to any increase in the interest rate of any ARD Loan after the related Anticipated Repayment Date), minus the related Administrative Cost Rate; provided, however, that for purposes of calculating Pass-Through Rates, the Net Mortgage Rate for any Mortgage Loan will be determined without regard to any modification, waiver or amendment of the terms of the related Mortgage Loan, whether agreed to by the master servicer, the special servicer, a Non-Serviced Master Servicer or a Non-Serviced Special Servicer or resulting from a bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding involving the related borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for Mortgage Loans that do not accrue interest on a 30/360 Basis, then, solely for purposes of calculating the Pass-Through Rates and the WAC Rate, the Net Mortgage Rate of any Mortgage Loan for any one-month period preceding a related Due Date will be the annualized rate at which interest would have to accrue in respect of the Mortgage Loan on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months in order to produce the aggregate amount of interest actually required to be paid in respect of the Mortgage Loan during the one-month period at the related Net Mortgage Rate; provided, however, that with respect to each Actual/360 Loan, the Net Mortgage Rate for the one-month period (1) prior to the Due Dates in January and February in any year which is not a leap year or in February in any year which is a leap year (in either case, unless the related Distribution Date is the final Distribution Date) will be determined exclusive of Withheld Amounts, and (2) prior to the Due Date in March (or February, if the related Distribution Date is the final Distribution Date), will be determined inclusive of Withheld Amounts for the immediately preceding February and January, as applicable. With respect to any REO Loan, the Net Mortgage Rate will be calculated as described above, as if the predecessor Mortgage Loan had remained outstanding.

 

Administrative Cost Rate” as of any date of determination will be a per annum rate equal to the sum of the Servicing Fee Rate, the Certificate Administrator/Trustee Fee Rate,

 

 402

 

 

the Operating Advisor Fee Rate, the Asset Representations Reviewer Fee Rate and the CREFC® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fee Rate.

 

Mortgage Rate” with respect to any Mortgage Loan (including any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or any related Companion Loan is the per annum rate at which interest accrues on the Mortgage Loan or the related Companion Loan as stated in the related Mortgage Note or the promissory note evidencing such Companion Loan without giving effect to any default rate or Revised Rate.

 

Interest Distribution Amount

 

The “Interest Distribution Amount” with respect to any Distribution Date and each class of Regular Certificates will equal (A) the sum of (i) the Interest Accrual Amount with respect to such class for such Distribution Date and (ii) the Interest Shortfall, if any, with respect to such class for such Distribution Date, less (B) any Excess Prepayment Interest Shortfall allocated to such class on such Distribution Date.

 

The “Interest Accrual Amount” with respect to any Distribution Date and any class of Regular Certificates will be equal to the interest for the related Interest Accrual Period accrued at the Pass-Through Rate for such class on the Certificate Balance or Notional Amount, as applicable, for such class immediately prior to that Distribution Date. Calculations of interest for each Interest Accrual Period will be made on 30/360 Basis.

 

An “Interest Shortfall” with respect to any Distribution Date for any class of Regular Certificates will be equal to the sum of (a) the portion of the Interest Distribution Amount for such class remaining unpaid as of the close of business on the preceding Distribution Date, and (b) to the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) other than in the case of certificates with a Notional Amount, one month’s interest on that amount remaining unpaid at the Pass-Through Rate applicable to such class for the current Distribution Date and (ii) in the case of the certificates with a Notional Amount, one-month’s interest on that amount remaining unpaid at the WAC Rate for such Distribution Date.

 

The “Interest Accrual Period” for each Distribution Date will be the calendar month prior to the month in which that Distribution Date occurs. Interest on the offered certificates will be calculated assuming that each month has 30 days and each year has 360 days.

 

Principal Distribution Amount

 

The “Principal Distribution Amount” for any Distribution Date will be equal to the sum of the following amounts:

 

(a)       the Principal Shortfall for that Distribution Date,

 

(b)       the Scheduled Principal Distribution Amount for that Distribution Date, and

 

(c)       the Unscheduled Principal Distribution Amount for that Distribution Date;

 

provided that the Principal Distribution Amount for any Distribution Date will be reduced, to not less than zero, by the amount of any reimbursements of:

 

(A)       Nonrecoverable Advances (including any servicing advance with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan under the related Non-Serviced PSA reimbursed out of general collections on the Mortgage Loans), with interest on such Nonrecoverable Advances at the Reimbursement Rate, that are paid or reimbursed from principal collections on the Mortgage Loans in a period during which such principal collections

 

 403

 

 

would have otherwise been included in the Principal Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date, and

 

(B)       Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts paid or reimbursed from principal collections on the Mortgage Loans in a period during which such principal collections would have otherwise been included in the Principal Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date,

 

provided, further, that in the case of clauses (A) and (B) above, if any of the amounts that were reimbursed from principal collections on the Mortgage Loans (including REO Loans) are subsequently recovered on the related Mortgage Loan (or REO Loan), such recovery will increase the Principal Distribution Amount for the Distribution Date related to the period in which such recovery occurs.

 

The “Scheduled Principal Distribution Amount” for each Distribution Date will equal the aggregate of the principal portions of (a) all Periodic Payments (excluding balloon payments) with respect to the Mortgage Loans due during or, if and to the extent not previously received or advanced and distributed to Certificateholders on a preceding Distribution Date, prior to the related Collection Period and all Assumed Scheduled Payments with respect to the Mortgage Loans for the related Collection Period, in each case to the extent paid by the related borrower as of the related Determination Date (or, with respect to each Mortgage Loan with a Due Date occurring, or a grace period ending, after the related Determination Date, the related Due Date or, last day of such grace period, as applicable, to the extent received by the master servicer as of the business day preceding the P&I Advance Date) or advanced by the master servicer or the trustee, as applicable, and (b) all balloon payments with respect to the Mortgage Loans to the extent received on or prior to the related Determination Date (or, with respect to each Mortgage Loan with a Due Date occurring, or a grace period ending, after the related Determination Date, the related Due Date or, last day of such grace period, as applicable, to the extent received by the master servicer as of the business day preceding the P&I Advance Date), and to the extent not included in clause (a) above. The Scheduled Principal Distribution Amount from time to time will include all late payments of principal made by a borrower with respect to the Mortgage Loans, including late payments in respect of a delinquent balloon payment, received by the times described above in this definition, except to the extent those late payments are otherwise available to reimburse the master servicer or the trustee, as the case may be, for prior Advances, as described above.

 

The “Unscheduled Principal Distribution Amount” for each Distribution Date will equal the aggregate of the following: (a) all prepayments of principal received on the Mortgage Loans as of the Determination Date; and (b) any other collections (exclusive of payments by borrowers) received on the Mortgage Loans and any REO Properties on or prior to the related Determination Date whether in the form of Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds, net income, rents, and profits from REO Property or otherwise, that were identified and applied by the master servicer as recoveries of previously unadvanced principal of the related Mortgage Loan; provided that all such Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds will be reduced by any unpaid Special Servicing Fees, Liquidation Fees, any amount related to the Loss of Value Payments to the extent that such amount was transferred into the Collection Account during the related Collection Period, accrued interest on Advances and other additional trust fund expenses incurred in connection with the related Mortgage Loan, thus reducing the Unscheduled Principal Distribution Amount.

 

The “Assumed Scheduled Payment” for any Collection Period and with respect to any Mortgage Loan (including any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) that is delinquent in respect of

 

 404

 

 

its balloon payment or any REO Loan (excluding, for purposes of any P&I Advances, the portion allocable to any related Companion Loan), is an amount equal to the sum of (a) the principal portion of the Periodic Payment that would have been due on such Mortgage Loan or REO Loan on the related Due Date based on the constant payment required by such related Mortgage Note or the original amortization schedule of the Mortgage Loan, as the case may be (as calculated with interest at the related Mortgage Rate), if applicable, assuming the related balloon payment has not become due, after giving effect to any reduction in the principal balance occurring in connection with a modification of such Mortgage Loan in connection with a default or a bankruptcy (or similar proceeding), and (b) interest on the Stated Principal Balance of that Mortgage Loan or REO Loan (excluding, for purposes of any P&I Advances, the portion allocable to any related Companion Loan) at its Mortgage Rate (net of interest at the applicable rate at which the Servicing Fee is calculated).

 

The “Principal Shortfall” for any Distribution Date means the amount, if any, by which (1) the Principal Distribution Amount for the prior Distribution Date exceeds (2) the aggregate amount actually distributed on the preceding Distribution Date in respect of such Principal Distribution Amount.

 

The “Class A-SB Planned Principal Balance” for any Distribution Date is the balance shown for such Distribution Date in the table set forth in Annex E. Such balances were calculated using, among other things, certain weighted average life assumptions. See “Yield and Maturity Considerations—Weighted Average Life”. Based on such assumptions, the Certificate Balance of the Class A-SB certificates on each Distribution Date would be expected to be reduced to the balance indicated for such Distribution Date in the table set forth in Annex E. We cannot assure you, however, that the mortgage loans will perform in conformity with our assumptions. Therefore, we cannot assure you that the balance of the Class A-SB certificates on any Distribution Date will be equal to the balance that is specified for such Distribution Date in the table.

 

Certain Calculations with Respect to Individual Mortgage Loans

 

The “Stated Principal Balance” of each Mortgage Loan will be an amount equal to its unpaid principal balance as of the Cut-off Date or, in the case of a replacement Mortgage Loan, as of the date it is added to the trust, after application of all payments of principal due during or prior to the month of substitution, whether or not those payments have been received, minus the sum of:

 

(i)       the principal portion of each Periodic Payment due on such Mortgage Loan after the Cut-off Date (or in the case of a replacement Mortgage Loan, due after the Due Date in the related month of substitution), to the extent received from the borrower or advanced by the master servicer;

 

(ii)       all principal prepayments received with respect to such Mortgage Loan after the Cut-off Date (or in the case of a replacement Mortgage Loan, after the Due Date in the related month of substitution);

 

(iii)       the principal portion of all Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds (to the extent allocable to principal on such Mortgage Loan) and Liquidation Proceeds received with respect to such Mortgage Loan after the Cut-off Date (or in the case of a replacement Mortgage Loan, after the Due Date in the related month of substitution); and

 

 405

 

 

(iv)       any reduction in the outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan resulting from a valuation by a court in a bankruptcy proceeding that is less than the then outstanding principal amount of such Mortgage Loan or a modification of such Mortgage Loan pursuant to the terms and provisions of the PSA that occurred prior to the end of the Collection Period for the most recent Distribution Date.

 

The Stated Principal Balance of any REO Loan that is a successor to a Mortgage Loan, as of any date of determination, will be an amount equal to (x) the Stated Principal Balance of the predecessor Mortgage Loan as of the date of the related REO Property was acquired for U.S. federal tax purposes, minus (y) the sum of:

 

(i)       the principal portion of any P&I Advance made with respect to such REO Loan; and

 

(ii)       the principal portion of all Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds (to the extent allocable to principal on the related Mortgage Loan), Liquidation Proceeds and all income rents and profits received with respect to such REO Loan.

 

See “Certain Legal Aspects of Mortgage Loans” below.

 

With respect to any Companion Loan on any date of determination, the Stated Principal Balance will equal the unpaid principal balance of such Companion Loan as of such date. On any date of determination, the Stated Principal Balance of any Whole Loan will equal the sum of the Stated Principal Balances of the related Mortgage Loan and the related Companion Loan(s), as applicable, on such date.

 

With respect to any REO Loan that is a successor to a Companion Loan as of any date of determination, the Stated Principal Balance will equal (x) the Stated Principal Balance of the predecessor Companion Loan as of the date of the related REO acquisition, minus (y) the principal portion of any amounts allocable to the related Companion Loan in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement.

 

If any Mortgage Loan or REO Loan is paid in full or the Mortgage Loan or REO Loan (or any REO Property) is otherwise liquidated, then, as of the first Distribution Date that follows the end of the Collection Period in which that payment in full or liquidation occurred and notwithstanding that a loss may have occurred in connection with any liquidation, the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan or REO Loan will be zero.

 

For purposes of calculating allocations of, or recoveries in respect of, Realized Losses, as well as for purposes of calculating the Servicing Fee, Certificate Administrator/Trustee Fee, Operating Advisor Fee and Asset Representations Reviewer Fee payable each month, each REO Property (including any REO Property with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan held pursuant to the related Non-Serviced PSA) will be treated as if there exists with respect to such REO Property an outstanding Mortgage Loan and, if applicable, each related Companion Loan (an “REO Loan”), and all references to Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan and pool of Mortgage Loans in this prospectus, when used in that context, will be deemed to also be references to or to also include, as the case may be, any REO Loans. Each REO Loan will generally be deemed to have the same characteristics as its actual predecessor Mortgage Loan (or Companion Loan), including the same fixed Mortgage Rate (and, accordingly, the same Net Mortgage Rate) and the same unpaid principal balance and Stated Principal Balance. Amounts due on the predecessor Mortgage Loan (or Companion Loan) including any portion of it payable or reimbursable to the master servicer, the special servicer, the operating advisor, the asset representations reviewer, the certificate

 

 406

 

 

administrator or the trustee, as applicable, will continue to be “due” in respect of the REO Loan; and amounts received in respect of the related REO Property, net of payments to be made, or reimbursement to the master servicer or special servicer for payments previously advanced, in connection with the operation and management of that property, generally will be applied by the master servicer as if received on the predecessor Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan.

 

With respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, no amounts relating to the related REO Property or REO Loan allocable to any related Companion Loan will be available for amounts due to the Certificateholders or to reimburse the issuing entity, other than in the limited circumstances related to Servicing Advances, indemnification, Special Servicing Fees and other reimbursable expenses related to such Serviced Whole Loan incurred with respect to such Serviced Whole Loan in accordance with the PSA.

 

Excess Interest

 

On each Distribution Date, the certificate administrator is required to distribute any Excess Interest received with respect to the ARD Loan on or prior to the related Determination Date to the holders of the Class Z certificates. Excess Interest will not be available to make distributions to any other class of certificates or to provide credit support for other classes of certificates or offset any interest shortfalls or to pay any other amounts to any other party under the PSA.

 

Application Priority of Mortgage Loan Collections or Whole Loan Collections

 

Absent express provisions in the related Mortgage Loan documents (and, with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the related Intercreditor Agreement) or to the extent otherwise agreed to by the related borrower in connection with a workout of a Mortgage Loan, all amounts collected by or on behalf of the issuing entity in respect of any Mortgage Loan in the form of payments from the related borrower, Liquidation Proceeds, condemnation proceeds or insurance proceeds (excluding, if applicable, in the case of any Serviced Whole Loan, any amounts payable to the holder of the related Companion Loan(s) pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement) will be applied in the following order of priority:

 

First, as a recovery of any unreimbursed Advances (including any Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount) with respect to the related Mortgage Loan and unpaid interest at the Reimbursement Rate on such Advances and, if applicable, unreimbursed and unpaid additional trust fund expenses;

 

Second, as a recovery of Nonrecoverable Advances and any interest on those Nonrecoverable Advances at the Reimbursement Rate, to the extent previously paid or reimbursed from principal collections on the Mortgage Loans (as described in the first proviso in the definition of Principal Distribution Amount);

 

Third, to the extent not previously allocated pursuant to clause First or Second above, as a recovery of accrued and unpaid interest on such Mortgage Loan to the extent of the excess of (i) unpaid interest (exclusive of default interest and Excess Interest) accrued on such Mortgage Loan at the related Mortgage Rate in effect from time to time through the end of the applicable mortgage interest accrual period, over (ii) after taking into account any allocations pursuant to clause Fifth below on earlier dates, the aggregate portion of the accrued and unpaid interest described in subclause (i) of this clause Third that either (A) was not advanced because of the reductions (if any) in the amount of related P&I Advances for such Mortgage Loan that have occurred in connection with related Appraisal Reduction Amounts or (B) accrued at the related Net

 

 407

 

 

Mortgage Rate on the portion of the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan equal to any related Collateral Deficiency Amount in effect from time to time and as to which no P&I Advance was made;

 

Fourth, to the extent not previously allocated pursuant to clause First or Second, as a recovery of principal of such Mortgage Loan then due and owing, including by reason of acceleration of such Mortgage Loan following a default thereunder (or, if the Mortgage Loan has been liquidated, as a recovery of principal to the extent of its entire remaining unpaid principal balance);

 

Fifth, as a recovery of accrued and unpaid interest on such Mortgage Loan to the extent of the sum of (A) the cumulative amount of the reductions (if any) in the amount of related P&I Advances for such Mortgage Loan that have occurred in connection with related Appraisal Reduction Amounts, plus (B) any unpaid interest (exclusive of default interest and Excess Interest) that accrued at the related Net Mortgage Rate on the portion of the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan equal to any related Collateral Deficiency Amount in effect from time to time and as to which no P&I Advance was made (to the extent collections have not been allocated as recovery of such accrued and unpaid interest pursuant to this clause Fifth on earlier dates);

 

Sixth, as a recovery of amounts to be currently allocated to the payment of, or escrowed for the future payment of, real estate taxes, assessments and insurance premiums and similar items relating to such Mortgage Loan;

 

Seventh, as a recovery of any other reserves to the extent then required to be held in escrow with respect to such Mortgage Loan;

 

Eighth, as a recovery of any Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium then due and owing under such Mortgage Loan;

 

Ninth, as a recovery of any late payment charges and default interest then due and owing under such Mortgage Loan;

 

Tenth, as a recovery of any assumption fees and Modification Fees then due and owing under such Mortgage Loan;

 

Eleventh, as a recovery of any other amounts then due and owing under such Mortgage Loan other than remaining unpaid principal (if both consent fees and Operating Advisor Consulting Fees are due and owing, first, allocated to consent fees and then, allocated to Operating Advisor Consulting Fees);

 

Twelfth, as a recovery of any remaining principal of such Mortgage Loan to the extent of its entire remaining unpaid principal balance; and

 

Thirteenth, in the case of an ARD Loan after the related Anticipated Repayment Date, any accrued but unpaid Excess Interest;

 

provided that, to the extent required under the REMIC provisions of the Code, payments or proceeds received (or receivable by exercise of the lender’s rights under the related Mortgage Loan documents) with respect to any partial release of a Mortgaged Property (including in connection with a condemnation) at a time when the loan-to-value ratio of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan exceeds 125%, or would exceed 125% following any partial release (based solely on the value of real property and excluding personal property and going concern value, if any, unless otherwise permitted under the applicable REMIC rules as evidenced by an opinion of counsel provided to the trustee) must

 

 408

 

 

be collected and allocated to reduce the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan) in the manner required by such REMIC provisions.

 

Collections by or on behalf of the issuing entity in respect of any REO Property (exclusive of the amounts to be allocated to the payment of the costs of operating, managing, leasing, maintaining and disposing of such REO Property and, if applicable, in the case of any Serviced Whole Loan, exclusive of any amounts payable to the holder of the related Companion Loan(s), as applicable, pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement) will be applied in the following order of priority:

 

First, as a recovery of any unreimbursed Advances (including any Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount) with respect to the related Mortgage Loan and interest at the Reimbursement Rate on all Advances and, if applicable, unreimbursed and unpaid additional trust fund expenses with respect to the related Mortgage Loan;

 

Second, as a recovery of Nonrecoverable Advances and any interest on those Nonrecoverable Advances at the Reimbursement Rate, to the extent previously paid or reimbursed from principal collections on the Mortgage Loans (as described in the first proviso in the definition of Principal Distribution Amount);

 

Third, to the extent not previously so allocated pursuant to clause First or Second above, as a recovery of accrued and unpaid interest on such Mortgage Loan to the extent of the excess of (i) unpaid interest (exclusive of default interest) accrued on such Mortgage Loan at the related Mortgage Rate in effect from time to time through the end of the applicable mortgage interest accrual period, over (ii) after taking into account any allocations pursuant to clause Fifth below or clause Fifth of the prior paragraph on earlier dates, the aggregate portion of the accrued and unpaid interest described in subclause (i) of this clause Third that either (A) was not advanced because of the reductions (if any) in the amount of related P&I Advances for such Mortgage Loan that have occurred in connection with related Appraisal Reduction Amounts or (B) accrued at the related Net Mortgage Rate on the portion of the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan equal to any related Collateral Deficiency Amount in effect from time to time and as to which no P&I Advance was made;

 

Fourth, to the extent not previously allocated pursuant to clause First or Second, as a recovery of principal of such Mortgage Loan to the extent of its entire unpaid principal balance;

 

Fifth, as a recovery of accrued and unpaid interest on such Mortgage Loan to the extent of the sum of (A) the cumulative amount of the reductions (if any) in the amount of related P&I Advances for such Mortgage Loan that have occurred in connection with related Appraisal Reduction Amounts, plus (B) any unpaid interest (exclusive of default interest and Excess Interest) that accrued at the related Net Mortgage Rate on the portion of the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan equal to any related Collateral Deficiency Amount in effect from time to time and as to which no P&I Advance was made (to the extent collections have not been allocated as recovery of accrued and unpaid interest pursuant to this clause Fifth or clause Fifth of the prior paragraph on earlier dates);

 

Sixth, as a recovery of any Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium then due and owing under such Mortgage Loan;

Tenth, in the case of an ARD Loan after the related Anticipated Repayment Date, any accrued but unpaid Excess Interest.

 

Allocation of Yield Maintenance Charges and Prepayment Premiums

 

If any Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium is collected during any particular Collection Period with respect to any Mortgage Loan, then on the Distribution Date corresponding to that Collection Period, the certificate administrator will pay that Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium in the following manner: (1) to each of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-S, Class B, Class C and Class D certificates, the product of (a) such Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium, (b) the related Base Interest Fraction for such class, and (c) a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the amount of principal distributed to such class for that Distribution Date, and the denominator of which is the total amount of principal distributed to such Classes of Principal Balance Certificates for that Distribution Date, (2) to the Class X-A certificates, the excess, if any, of (a) the product of (i) such Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the amount of principal distributed to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5 certificates for that Distribution Date, and the denominator of which is the total amount of principal distributed to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-S, Class B, Class C and Class D certificates for that Distribution Date, over (b) the amount of such Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium distributed to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4 and Class A-5 certificates as described above, and (3) to the Class X-B certificates, any remaining portion of such Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium not distributed as described above.

 

Base Interest Fraction” means, with respect to any principal prepayment of any Mortgage Loan that provides for the payment of a Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium, and with respect to any class of Principal Balance Certificates, a fraction (A) the numerator of which is the greater of (x) zero and (y) the difference between (i) the pass-through rate on that class, and (ii) the applicable Discount Rate and (B) the denominator of which is the difference between (i) the mortgage interest rate on the related Mortgage Loan and (ii) the applicable Discount Rate; provided, however, that:

 

under no circumstances will the Base Interest Fraction be greater than one;

 

if the applicable Discount Rate is greater than or equal to the mortgage interest rate on the related Mortgage Loan and is greater than or equal to the pass-through rate on that class, then the Base Interest Fraction will equal zero; and

 

if the applicable Discount Rate is greater than or equal to the mortgage interest rate on the related Mortgage Loan and is less than the pass-through rate on that class, then the Base Interest Fraction will be equal to 1.0.

 

Discount Rate” means, with respect to any principal prepayment of any Mortgage Loan that provides for the payment of a Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium—

 

 410

 

 

if a discount rate was used in the calculation of the applicable Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan or REO Loan, that Discount Rate, converted (if necessary) to a monthly equivalent yield, or

 

if a discount rate was not used in the calculation of the applicable Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan, the yield calculated by the linear interpolation of the yields, as reported in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519)—Selected Interest Rates under the heading “U.S. government securities/Treasury constant maturities” for the week ending prior to the date of the relevant prepayment (or deemed prepayment), of U.S. Treasury constant maturities with a maturity date, one longer and one shorter, most nearly approximating the maturity date or Anticipated Repayment Date, as applicable, of that Mortgage Loan or REO Loan, such interpolated treasury yield converted to a monthly equivalent yield.

 

For purposes of the immediately preceding bullet, the certificate administrator or the master servicer will select a comparable publication as the source of the applicable yields of U.S. Treasury constant maturities if Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 is no longer published.

 

Prepayment Premium” means, with respect to any Mortgage Loan, any premium, fee or other additional amount (other than a Yield Maintenance Charge) paid or payable, as the context requires, by a borrower in connection with a principal prepayment on, or other early collection of principal of, that Mortgage Loan or any successor REO Loan with respect thereto (including any payoff of a Mortgage Loan by a mezzanine lender on behalf of the subject borrower if and as set forth in the related intercreditor agreement).

 

Yield Maintenance Charge” means, with respect to any Mortgage Loan, any premium, fee or other additional amount paid or payable, as the context requires, by a borrower in connection with a principal prepayment on, or other early collection of principal of, a Mortgage Loan, calculated, in whole or in part, pursuant to a yield maintenance formula or otherwise pursuant to a formula that reflects the lost interest, including any specified amount or specified percentage of the amount prepaid which constitutes the minimum amount that such Yield Maintenance Charge may be.

 

No Prepayment Premiums or Yield Maintenance Charges will be distributed to the holders of the Class D-RR, Class E-RR, Class F-RR, Class G-RR, Class NR-RR, Class Z or Class R certificates.

 

For a description of Yield Maintenance Charges, see “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Certain Terms of the Mortgage Loans” and “Certain Legal Aspects of Mortgage Loans—Default Interest and Limitations on Prepayments”.

Assumed Final Distribution Date; Rated Final Distribution Date

 

The “Assumed Final Distribution Date” with respect to any class of certificates is the Distribution Date on which the Certificate Balance of that class of certificates would be reduced to zero based on the assumptions set forth below. The Assumed Final Distribution Date with respect to each class of Offered Certificates will in each case be as follows:

 

Class

 

Assumed Final Distribution Date 

Class A-1   July 2022
Class A-2   October 2022
Class A-SB   June 2027
Class A-3   October 2024
Class A-4   September 2027
Class A-5   October 2027
Class X-A   NAP
Class X-B   NAP
Class A-S   October 2027
Class B   November 2027
Class C   November 2027

 

The Assumed Final Distribution Dates set forth above were calculated without regard to any delays in the collection of balloon payments and without regard to delinquencies, defaults or liquidations. Accordingly, in the event of defaults on the Mortgage Loans, the actual final Distribution Date for one or more classes of the Offered Certificates may be later, and could be substantially later, than the related Assumed Final Distribution Date(s).

 

In addition, the Assumed Final Distribution Dates set forth above were calculated on the basis of a 0% CPR prepayment rate and the Structuring Assumptions. Since the rate of payment (including prepayments) of the Mortgage Loans may exceed the scheduled rate of payments, and could exceed the scheduled rate by a substantial amount, the actual final Distribution Date for one or more classes of the Offered Certificates may be earlier, and could be substantially earlier, than the related Assumed Final Distribution Date(s). The rate of payments (including prepayments) on the Mortgage Loans will depend on the characteristics of the Mortgage Loans, as well as on the prevailing level of interest rates and other economic factors, and we cannot assure you as to actual payment experience.

 

The “Rated Final Distribution Date” for each class of Offered Certificates will be the Distribution Date in November 2050. See “Ratings”.

 

Prepayment Interest Shortfalls

 

If a borrower prepays a Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Whole Loan in whole or in part, after the due date but on or before the Determination Date in any calendar month, the amount of interest (net of related Servicing Fees and any Excess Interest) accrued on such prepayment from such due date to, but not including, the date of prepayment (or any later date through which interest accrues) will, to the extent actually collected (without regard to any Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge actually collected) constitute a “Prepayment Interest Excess”. Conversely, if a borrower prepays a Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Whole Loan (with such prepayment allocated between the related Mortgage Loan and Serviced Companion Loan in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement) in whole or in part after the Determination Date (or, with respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, as applicable, with a due date occurring after the related Determination

 

 412

 

 

Date, the related Due Date) in any calendar month and does not pay interest on such prepayment through the following Due Date, then the shortfall in a full month’s interest (net of related Servicing Fees and any Excess Interest) on such prepayment will constitute a “Prepayment Interest Shortfall”. Prepayment Interest Shortfalls for each Distribution Date with respect to a Serviced AB Whole Loan will generally be allocated first to the related Subordinate Companion Loan and then to the related Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loans on a pro rata basis. Prepayment Interest Excesses (to the extent not offset by Prepayment Interest Shortfalls or required to be paid as Compensating Interest Payments) collected on the Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, will be retained by the master servicer as additional servicing compensation.

 

The master servicer will be required to deliver to the certificate administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account (other than the portion of any Compensating Interest Payment described below that is allocable to a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) on the P&I Advance Date, without any right of reimbursement thereafter, a cash payment (a “Compensating Interest Payment”) in an aggregate amount, equal to the lesser of:

 

(i)       the aggregate amount of Prepayment Interest Shortfalls incurred in connection with voluntary principal prepayments received in respect of the Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (in each case other than a Specially Serviced Loan or a Mortgage Loan or any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan on which the special servicer allowed a prepayment on a date other than the applicable Due Date) for the related Distribution Date, and

 

(ii)       the aggregate of (A) that portion of the master servicer’s Servicing Fees for the related Distribution Date that is, in the case of each Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan and REO Loan for which such Servicing Fees are being paid in such Collection Period, calculated at a rate of 0.002500% per annum, (B) all Prepayment Interest Excesses received by the master servicer during such Collection Period with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) (and, so long as a Whole Loan is serviced under the PSA, any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) subject to such prepayment and (C) to the extent earned on voluntary principal prepayments, net investment earnings payable to the master servicer for such Collection Period received by the master servicer during such Collection Period with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, as applicable, subject to such prepayment. In no event will the rights of the Certificateholders to the offset of the aggregate Prepayment Interest Shortfalls be cumulative.

 

If a Prepayment Interest Shortfall occurs with respect to a Mortgage Loan as a result of the master servicer allowing the related borrower to deviate (a “Prohibited Prepayment”) from the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents regarding principal prepayments (other than (v) any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, (w) subsequent to a default under the related Mortgage Loan documents or if the Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan, (x) pursuant to applicable law or a court order or otherwise in such circumstances where the master servicer is required to accept such principal prepayment in accordance with the Servicing Standard, (y)(i) at the request or with the consent of the special servicer or, (ii) for so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred or is continuing and, other than with respect to an Excluded Loan, at the request or with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder or (z) in connection with the payment of any insurance proceeds or

 

 413

 

 

condemnation awards, unless the master servicer did not apply the proceeds thereof in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents and such failure causes the shortfall), then for purposes of calculating the Compensating Interest Payment for the related Distribution Date, the master servicer will pay, without regard to clause (ii) above, the aggregate amount of Prepayment Interest Shortfalls with respect to such Mortgage Loan otherwise described in clause (i) above in connection with such Prohibited Prepayments.

 

Compensating Interest Payments with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan will be allocated among the related Mortgage Loan and the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan in accordance with their respective principal amounts, and the master servicer will be required to pay the portion of such Compensating Interest Payments allocable to the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan to the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer.

 

The aggregate of any Prepayment Interest Shortfalls resulting from any principal prepayments made on the Mortgage Loans to be included in the Available Funds for any Distribution Date that are not covered by the master servicer’s Compensating Interest Payments for the related Distribution Date and the portion of the compensating interest payments allocable to each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan to the extent received from the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer (the aggregate of the covered, as to the related Distribution Date, the “Excess Prepayment Interest Shortfall”) will be allocated on that Distribution Date among each class of Regular Certificates, pro rata, in accordance with their respective Interest Accrual Amounts for that Distribution Date.

 

Subordination; Allocation of Realized Losses

 

The rights of holders of the Subordinate Certificates to receive distributions of amounts collected or advanced on the Mortgage Loans will be subordinated, to the extent described in this prospectus, to the rights of holders of the Senior Certificates. In particular, the rights of the holders of the Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class D-RR, Class E-RR, Class F-RR, Class G-RR and Class NR-RR certificates to receive distributions of interest and principal, as applicable, will be subordinated to such rights of the holders of the Senior Certificates. The Class A-S certificates will likewise be protected by the subordination of the Class B, Class C, Class D, Class D-RR, Class E-RR, Class F-RR, Class G-RR and Class NR-RR certificates. The Class B certificates will likewise be protected by the subordination of the Class C, Class D, Class D-RR, Class E-RR, Class F-RR, Class G-RR and Class NR-RR certificates. The Class C certificates will likewise be protected by the subordination of the Class D, Class D-RR, Class E-RR, Class F-RR, Class G-RR and Class NR-RR certificates.

 

This subordination will be effected in two ways: (i) by the preferential right of the holders of a class of certificates to receive on any Distribution Date the amounts of interest and/or principal distributable to them prior to any distribution being made on such Distribution Date in respect of any classes of certificates subordinate to that class (as described above under “—Distributions—Priority of Distributions”) and (ii) by the allocation of Realized Losses to classes of certificates that are subordinate to more senior classes, as described below.

 

No other form of credit support will be available for the benefit of the Offered Certificates.

 

Prior to the Cross-Over Date, allocation of principal on any Distribution Date will be made first, to the Class A-SB certificates, until their Certificate Balance has been reduced to the Class A-SB Planned Principal Balance for the related Distribution Date, second, to the Class A-1 certificates, until their Certificate Balance has been reduced to zero, third, to the Class A-2 certificates, until their Certificate Balance has been reduced to zero, fourth, to the

Class A-3 certificates, until their Certificate Balance has been reduced to zero, fifth, to the Class A-4 certificates, until their Certificate Balance has been reduced to zero, sixth, to the Class A-5 certificates, until their Certificate Balance has been reduced to zero, seventh, to the Class A-SB certificates, until their Certificate Balance has been reduced to zero. On or after the Cross-Over Date, allocation of principal will be made to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4 and Class A-5 certificates that are still outstanding, pro rata (based upon their respective Certificate Balances), without regard to the Class A-SB Planned Principal Balance, until their Certificate Balances have been reduced to zero. See “—Distributions—Priority of Distributions” above.

 

Allocation to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4 and Class A-5 certificates, for so long as they are outstanding, of the entire Principal Distribution Amount for each Distribution Date will have the effect of reducing the aggregate Certificate Balance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4 and Class A-5 certificates at a proportionately faster rate than the rate at which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the pool of Mortgage Loans will decline. Therefore, as principal is distributed to the holders of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4 and Class A-5 certificates, the percentage interest in the issuing entity evidenced by the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4 and Class A-5 certificates will be decreased (with a corresponding increase in the percentage interest in the issuing entity evidenced by the Subordinate Certificates), thereby increasing, relative to their respective Certificate Balances, the subordination afforded to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4 and Class A-5 certificates by the Subordinate Certificates.

 

Following retirement of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4 and Class A-5 certificates, the successive allocation on each Distribution Date of the remaining Principal Distribution Amount to the Class A-S certificates, the Class B certificates, the Class C certificates, the Class D certificates, the Class D-RR certificates, the Class E-RR certificates, the Class F-RR certificates, the Class G-RR certificates and the Class NR-RR certificates, in that order, for so long as they are outstanding, will provide a similar, but diminishing benefit to those certificates (other than to the Class NR-RR certificates) as to the relative amount of subordination afforded by the outstanding classes of certificates with later sequential designations.

 

On each Distribution Date, immediately following the distributions to be made to the Certificateholders on that date, the certificate administrator is required to calculate the amount, if any, by which the aggregate Stated Principal Balance (for purposes of this calculation only, the aggregate Stated Principal Balance will not be reduced by the amount of principal payments received on the Mortgage Loans that were used to reimburse the master servicer, the special servicer or the trustee from general collections of principal on the Mortgage Loans for Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts, to the extent those amounts are not otherwise determined to be Nonrecoverable Advances) of the Mortgage Loans, including any REO Loans (but in each case, excluding any Companion Loan) expected to be outstanding immediately following that Distribution Date is less than (ii) the then-aggregate Certificate Balance of the Principal Balance Certificates after giving effect to distributions of principal on that Distribution Date (any such deficit, a “Realized Loss”).

 

The certificate administrator will be required to allocate any Realized Losses among the respective classes of Principal Balance Certificates in the following order, until the Certificate Balance of each such class is reduced to zero:

 

first, to the Class NR-RR certificates;

 

second, to the Class G-RR certificates;

 

 415

 

 

third, to the Class F-RR certificates;

 

fourth, to the Class E-RR certificates;

 

fifth, to the Class D-RR certificates;

 

sixth, to the Class D certificates;

 

seventh, to the Class C certificates;

 

eighth, to the Class B certificates; and

 

ninth, to the Class A-S certificates.

 

Following the reduction of the Certificate Balances of all classes of Subordinate Certificates to zero, the certificate administrator will be required to allocate Realized Losses among the Senior Certificates (other than the applicable Class X Certificates), pro rata, based upon their respective Certificate Balances, until their respective Certificate Balances have been reduced to zero.

 

Realized Losses will not be allocated to the Class Z or Class R certificates and will not be directly allocated to the Class X Certificates. However, the Notional Amounts of the classes of Class X Certificates will be reduced if the related classes of Principal Balance Certificates are reduced by such Realized Losses.

 

In general, Realized Losses could result from the occurrence of: (1) losses and other shortfalls on or in respect of the Mortgage Loans, including as a result of defaults and delinquencies on the related Mortgage Loans, Nonrecoverable Advances made in respect of the Mortgage Loans, the payment to the special servicer of any compensation as described in “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Servicing and Other Compensation and Payment of Expenses”, and the payment of interest on Advances and certain servicing expenses; and (2) certain unanticipated, non-Mortgage Loan specific expenses of the issuing entity, including certain reimbursements to the certificate administrator or trustee as described under “Transaction Parties—The Trustee and the Certificate Administrator”, and certain federal, state and local taxes, and certain tax-related expenses, payable out of the issuing entity, as described under “Material Federal Income Tax Considerations”.

 

Losses on each Whole Loan will be allocated, pro rata, between the related Mortgage Loan and the related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s), based upon their respective principal balances. With respect to the AB Whole Loans, losses will be allocated first to each related Subordinate Companion Loan until each such Subordinate Companion Loan is reduced to zero and then to the related Mortgage Loan and the related Pari Passu Companion Loans (if any), pro rata, based upon their respective principal balances.

 

A class of Regular Certificates will be considered outstanding until its Certificate Balance or Notional Amount, as the case may be, is reduced to zero. However, notwithstanding a reduction of its Certificate Balance to zero, reimbursements of any previously allocated Realized Losses are required thereafter to be made to a class of Principal Balance Certificates in accordance with the payment priorities set forth in “—Distributions—Priority of Distributions” above.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Directing Certificateholder or any Controlling Class Certificateholder, as applicable, is an Excluded Controlling Class Holder, such Excluded Controlling Class Holder is required to promptly notify the master servicer, the special servicer, the operating advisor, the trustee and the certificate administrator pursuant to the PSA and provide an Investor Certification pursuant to the PSA and will not be entitled to access any Excluded Information (unless a loan-by-loan segregation is later performed by the certificate administrator in which case such access will only be prohibited with respect to the related Excluded Controlling Class Loan(s)) made available on the certificate administrator’s website for so long as it is an Excluded Controlling Class Holder. The PSA will require each Excluded Controlling Class Holder in such new Investor Certification to certify that it acknowledges and agrees that it is prohibited from accessing and reviewing (and it agrees not to access and review) any Excluded Information. In addition, if the Directing Certificateholder or any Controlling Class Certificateholder is not an Excluded Controlling Class Holder, such person will certify and agree that they will not share any Excluded Information with any Excluded Controlling Class Holder.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing set forth in the PSA will prohibit the Directing Certificateholder or any Controlling Class Certificateholder from receiving, requesting or reviewing any Excluded Information relating to any Excluded Controlling Class Loan with respect to which the Directing Certificateholder or such Controlling Class Certificateholder is not a Borrower Party and, if such Excluded Information is not available via the certificate administrator’s website, such Directing Certificateholder or Controlling Class Certificateholder that is not a Borrower Party with respect to the related Excluded Controlling Class Loan will be permitted to reasonably request and obtain such information in accordance with terms of the PSA, and each of the master servicer and the special servicer may require and rely on such certifications and other reasonable information prior to releasing any such information.

 

Any reports on Form 10-D filed by the certificate administrator will (i) contain the information required by Rule 15Ga-1(a) concerning all Mortgage Loans held by the issuing entity that were the subject of a demand to repurchase or replace due to a breach or alleged breach of one or more representations and warranties made by the related mortgage loan seller, (ii) contain a reference to the most recent Form ABS-15G filed by the depositor and the mortgage loan sellers, if applicable, and the SEC’s assigned “Central Index Key” for each such filer, (iii) contain certain account balances to the extent available to the certificate administrator, and (iv) incorporate the most recent Form ABS-EE filing by reference (which such Form ABS-EE will be filed on or prior to the filing of the applicable report on Form 10-D).

 

The certificate administrator will not make any representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of any report, document or other information made available on the certificate administrator’s website or its filing of such information pursuant to the PSA, including, but not limited to, filing via EDGAR, and will assume no responsibility for any such report, document or other information, other than with respect to such reports, documents or other information prepared by the certificate administrator. In addition, the certificate administrator may disclaim responsibility for any information distributed by it or filed by it, as applicable, for which it is not the original source.

 

In connection with providing access to the certificate administrator’s website (other than with respect to access provided to the general public in accordance with the PSA), the certificate administrator may require registration and the acceptance of a disclaimer, including an agreement to keep certain nonpublic information made available on the website confidential, as required under the PSA. The certificate administrator will not be liable for the dissemination of information in accordance with the PSA.

 

 426

 

 

The certificate administrator will make the “Investor Q&A Forum” available to Privileged Persons via the certificate administrator’s website under a tab or heading designated “Investor Q&A Forum”, where (i) Certificateholders and beneficial owners that are Privileged Persons may submit inquiries to (a) the certificate administrator relating to the Distribution Date Statements, (b) the master servicer or special servicer relating to servicing reports prepared by that party, the Mortgage Loans (excluding each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or the related Mortgaged Properties or (c) the operating advisor relating to annual or other reports prepared by the operating advisor or actions by the special servicer referenced in such reports, and (ii) Privileged Persons may view previously submitted inquiries and related answers. The certificate administrator will forward such inquiries to the appropriate person and, in the case of an inquiry relating to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the applicable party under the related Non-Serviced PSA. The certificate administrator, the master servicer, the special servicer or the operating advisor, as applicable, will be required to answer each inquiry, unless such party determines (i) the question is beyond the scope of the topics detailed above, (ii) that answering the inquiry would not be in the best interests of the issuing entity and/or the Certificateholders, (iii) that answering the inquiry would be in violation of applicable law, the PSA (including requirements in respect of non-disclosure of Privileged Information) or the Mortgage Loan documents, (iv) that answering the inquiry would materially increase the duties of, or result in significant additional cost or expense to, the certificate administrator, the master servicer, the special servicer or the operating advisor, as applicable, (v) that answering the inquiry would require the disclosure of Privileged Information (subject to the Privileged Information Exception), (vi) that answering the inquiry would or is reasonably expected to result in a waiver of an attorney-client privilege or the disclosure of attorney work product, or (vii) that answering the inquiry is otherwise, for any reason, not advisable. In addition, no party will post or otherwise disclose any direct communications with the Directing Certificateholder) as part of its responses to any inquiries. In the case of an inquiry relating to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the certificate administrator is required to make reasonable efforts to obtain an answer from the applicable party under the related Non-Serviced PSA; provided that the certificate administrator will not be responsible for the content of such answer, or any delay or failure to obtain such answer. The certificate administrator will be required to post the inquiries and related answers, if any, on the Investor Q&A Forum, subject to and in accordance with the PSA. The Investor Q&A Forum may not reflect questions, answers and other communications that are not submitted through the certificate administrator’s website. Answers posted on the Investor Q&A Forum will be attributable only to the respondent, and will not be deemed to be answers from any of the depositor, the underwriters or any of their respective affiliates. None of the underwriters, depositor, any of their respective affiliates or any other person will certify as to the accuracy of any of the information posted in the Investor Q&A Forum and no such person will have any responsibility or liability for the content of any such information.

 

The certificate administrator will make the “Investor Registry” available to any Certificateholder and beneficial owner that is a Privileged Person via the certificate administrator’s website. Certificateholders and beneficial owners may register on a voluntary basis for the “Investor Registry” and obtain contact information for any other Certificateholder or beneficial owner that has also registered, provided that they comply with certain requirements as provided for in the PSA.

 

The certificate administrator’s internet website will initially be located at www.ctslink.com. Access will be provided by the certificate administrator to such persons upon receipt by the certificate administrator from such person of an Investor Certification or NRSRO Certification in the form(s) attached to the PSA, which form(s) will also be located on and may be submitted electronically via the certificate administrator’s internet website.

 

 427

 

 

The parties to the PSA will not be required to provide that certification. In connection with providing access to the certificate administrator’s internet website, the certificate administrator may require registration and the acceptance of a disclaimer. The certificate administrator will not be liable for the dissemination of information in accordance with the terms of the PSA. The certificate administrator will make no representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of such documents and will assume no responsibility for them. In addition, the certificate administrator may disclaim responsibility for any information distributed by the certificate administrator for which it is not the original source. Assistance in using the certificate administrator’s internet website can be obtained by calling the certificate administrator’s customer service desk at 866-846-4526.

 

The certificate administrator is responsible for the preparation of tax returns on behalf of the issuing entity and the preparation of Distribution Reports on Form 10-D (based on information included in each monthly Distribution Date Statement and other information provided by other transaction parties) and Annual Reports on Form 10-K and certain other reports on Form 8-K that are required to be filed with the SEC on behalf of the issuing entity.

 

17g-5 Information Provider” means the certificate administrator.

 

The PSA will permit the master servicer and the special servicer, at their respective sole cost and expense, to make available by electronic media, bulletin board service or internet website any reports or other information the master servicer or the special servicer, as applicable, is required or permitted to provide to any party to the PSA, the Rating Agencies or any Certificateholder or any prospective Certificateholder that has provided the master servicer or the special servicer, as applicable, with an Investor Certification or has executed a “click-through” confidentiality agreement in accordance with the PSA to the extent such action does not conflict with the terms of the PSA (including, without limitation, any requirements to keep Privileged Information confidential), the terms of the Mortgage Loans or applicable law. However, the availability of such information or reports on the internet or similar electronic media will not be deemed to satisfy any specific delivery requirements in the PSA except as set forth therein.

 

Except as otherwise set forth in this paragraph, until the time definitive certificates are issued, notices and statements required to be mailed to holders of certificates will be available to Certificate Owners of certificates only to the extent they are forwarded by or otherwise available through DTC and its Participants. Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Participants, and by Participants to Certificate Owners, will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Except as otherwise set forth in this paragraph, the master servicer, the special servicer, the trustee, the certificate administrator and the depositor are required to recognize as Certificateholders only those persons in whose names the certificates are registered on the books and records of the certificate registrar. The initial registered holder of the certificates will be Cede & Co., as nominee for DTC.

 

Voting Rights

 

At all times during the term of the PSA, the voting rights for the certificates (the “Voting Rights”) will be allocated among the respective classes of Certificateholders as follows:

 

(1)       2% in the case of the Class X Certificates, allocated pro rata, based upon their respective Notional Amounts as of the date of determination, and

 

 428

 

 

(2)       in the case of any Principal Balance Certificates, a percentage equal to the product of 98% and a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the aggregate Certificate Balance (and solely in connection with certain votes relating to the replacement of the special servicer, the operating advisor or asset representations reviewer as described in this prospectus, taking into account any notional reduction in the Certificate Balance for Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts allocated to the certificates) of the class, in each case, determined as of the prior Distribution Date, and the denominator of which is equal to the aggregate Certificate Balance (and solely in connection with certain votes relating to the replacement of the special servicer, operating advisor or the asset representations reviewer as described in this prospectus, taking into account any notional reduction in the Certificate Balance for Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts allocated to the certificates) of the Principal Balance Certificates, each determined as of the prior Distribution Date.

 

The Voting Rights of any class of certificates are required to be allocated among Certificateholders of such class in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests.

 

Neither the Class Z nor the Class R certificates will be entitled to any Voting Rights.

 

Delivery, Form, Transfer and Denomination

 

The Offered Certificates (other than the Class X Certificates) will be issued, maintained and transferred in the book-entry form only in minimum denominations of $10,000 initial Certificate Balance, and in multiples of $1 in excess of $10,000. The Class X Certificates will be issued, maintained and transferred only in minimum denominations of authorized initial Notional Amounts of not less than $1,000,000 and in integral multiples of $1 in excess of $1,000,000.

 

Book-Entry Registration

 

The Offered Certificates will initially be represented by one or more global certificates for each such class registered in the name of a nominee of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”). The depositor has been informed by DTC that DTC’s nominee will be Cede & Co. No holder of an Offered Certificate will be entitled to receive a certificate issued in fully registered, certificated form (each, a “Definitive Certificate”) representing its interest in such class, except under the limited circumstances described under “―Definitive Certificates” below. Unless and until Definitive Certificates are issued, all references to actions by holders of the Offered Certificates will refer to actions taken by DTC upon instructions received from holders of Offered Certificates through its participating organizations (together with Clearstream Banking, société anonyme (“Clearstream”) and Euroclear Bank, as operator of the Euroclear System (“Euroclear”) participating organizations, the “Participants”), and all references in this prospectus to payments, notices, reports, statements and other information to holders of Offered Certificates will refer to payments, notices, reports and statements to DTC or Cede & Co., as the registered holder of the Offered Certificates, for distribution to holders of Offered Certificates through its Participants in accordance with DTC procedures; provided, however, that to the extent that the party to the PSA responsible for distributing any report, statement or other information has been provided in writing with the name of the Certificate Owner of such an Offered Certificate (or the prospective transferee of such Certificate Owner), such report, statement or other information will be provided to such Certificate Owner (or prospective transferee).

 

Until Definitive Certificates are issued in respect of the Offered Certificates, interests in the Offered Certificates will be transferred on the book-entry records of DTC and its Participants. The certificate administrator will initially serve as certificate registrar for

 

 429

 

 

purposes of recording and otherwise providing for the registration of the Offered Certificates.

 

Holders of Offered Certificates may hold their certificates through DTC (in the United States) or Clearstream or Euroclear (in Europe) if they are Participants of such system, or indirectly through organizations that are participants in such systems. Clearstream and Euroclear will hold omnibus positions on behalf of the Clearstream Participants and the Euroclear Participants, respectively, through customers’ securities accounts in Clearstream’s and Euroclear’s names on the books of their respective depositories (collectively, the “Depositories”), which in turn will hold such positions in customers’ securities accounts in the Depositories’ names on the books of DTC. DTC is a limited purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a “banking organization” within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code and a “clearing agency” registered pursuant to Section 17A of the Exchange Act. DTC was created to hold securities for its Participants and to facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between Participants through electronic computerized book-entries, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates. Participants (“DTC Participants”) include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies and clearing corporations. Indirect access to the DTC system also is available to others such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Participant, either directly or indirectly (“Indirect Participants”).

 

Transfers between DTC Participants will occur in accordance with DTC rules. Transfers between Clearstream Participants and Euroclear Participants will occur in accordance with the applicable rules and operating procedures of Clearstream and Euroclear.

 

Cross-market transfers between persons holding directly or indirectly through DTC, on the one hand, and directly through Clearstream Participants or Euroclear Participants, on the other, will be effected in DTC in accordance with DTC rules on behalf of the relevant European international clearing system by its Depository; however, such cross-market transactions will require delivery of instructions to the relevant European international clearing system by the counterparty in such system in accordance with its rules and procedures and within its established deadlines (European time). The relevant European international clearing system will, if the transaction meets its settlement requirements, deliver instructions to its Depository to take action to effect final settlement on its behalf by delivering or receiving securities in DTC, and making or receiving payment in accordance with normal procedures for same-day funds settlement applicable to DTC. Clearstream Participants and Euroclear Participants may not deliver instructions directly to the Depositories.

 

Because of time-zone differences, credits of securities in Clearstream or Euroclear as a result of a transaction with a DTC Participant will be made during the subsequent securities settlement processing, dated the business day following the DTC settlement date, and such credits or any transactions in such securities settled during such processing will be reported to the relevant Clearstream Participant or Euroclear Participant on such business day. Cash received in Clearstream or Euroclear as a result of sales of securities by or through a Clearstream Participant or a Euroclear Participant to a DTC Participant will be received with value on the DTC settlement date but will be available in the relevant Clearstream or Euroclear cash account only as of the business day following settlement in DTC.

 

The holders of Offered Certificates that are not Participants or Indirect Participants but desire to purchase, sell or otherwise transfer ownership of, or other interests in, such Offered Certificates may do so only through Participants and Indirect Participants. In

 

 430

 

 

addition, holders of Offered Certificates in global form (“Certificate Owners”) will receive all distributions of principal and interest through the Participants who in turn will receive them from DTC. Under a book-entry format, holders of such Offered Certificates may experience some delay in their receipt of payments, since such payments will be forwarded by the certificate administrator to Cede & Co., as nominee for DTC. DTC will forward such payments to its Participants, which thereafter will forward them to Indirect Participants or the applicable Certificate Owners. Certificate Owners will not be recognized by the trustee, the certificate administrator, the certificate registrar, the operating advisor, the special servicer or the master servicer as holders of record of certificates and Certificate Owners will be permitted to receive information furnished to Certificateholders and to exercise the rights of Certificateholders only indirectly through DTC and its Participants and Indirect Participants, except that Certificate Owners will be entitled to receive or have access to notices and information and to exercise certain rights as holders of beneficial interests in the certificates through the certificate administrator and the trustee to the extent described in “—Reports to Certificateholders; Certain Available Information”, “—Certificateholder Communication” and “—List of Certificateholders” and “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—The Operating Advisor”, “—The Asset Representations Reviewer”, “—Replacement of Special Servicer After Operating Advisor Recommendation and Certificateholder Vote”, “—Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders to Institute a Proceeding”, “—Termination; Retirement of Certificates” and “—Resignation and Removal of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator”.

 

Under the rules, regulations and procedures creating and affecting DTC and its operations (the “DTC Rules”), DTC is required to make book-entry transfers of Offered Certificates in global form among Participants on whose behalf it acts with respect to such Offered Certificates and to receive and transmit distributions of principal of, and interest on, such Offered Certificates. Participants and Indirect Participants with which the Certificate Owners have accounts with respect to the Offered Certificates similarly are required to make book-entry transfers and receive and transmit such payments on behalf of their respective Certificate Owners. Accordingly, although the Certificate Owners will not possess the Offered Certificates, the DTC Rules provide a mechanism by which Certificate Owners will receive payments on Offered Certificates and will be able to transfer their interest.

 

Because DTC can only act on behalf of Participants, who in turn act on behalf of Indirect Participants and certain banks, the ability of a holder of Offered Certificates in global form to pledge such Offered Certificates to persons or entities that do not participate in the DTC system, or to otherwise act with respect to such Offered Certificates, may be limited due to the lack of a physical certificate for such Offered Certificates.

 

DTC has advised the depositor that it will take any action permitted to be taken by a holder of an Offered Certificate under the PSA only at the direction of one or more Participants to whose accounts with DTC such certificate is credited. DTC may take conflicting actions with respect to other undivided interests to the extent that such actions are taken on behalf of Participants whose holdings include such undivided interests.

 

Clearstream is incorporated under the laws of Luxembourg and is a global securities settlement clearing house. Clearstream holds securities for its participating organizations (“Clearstream Participants”) and facilitates the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between Clearstream Participants through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of Clearstream Participants, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates. Transactions may be settled in Clearstream in numerous currencies, including United States dollars. Clearstream provides to its Clearstream Participants, among other things, services for safekeeping, administration, clearance and settlement of internationally traded securities and securities lending and borrowing. Clearstream

 

 431

 

 

interfaces with domestic markets in several countries. Clearstream is regulated as a bank by the Luxembourg Monetary Institute. Clearstream Participants are recognized financial institutions around the world, including underwriters, securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations and may include the underwriters. Indirect access to Clearstream is also available to others, such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Clearstream Participant, either directly or indirectly.

 

Euroclear was created in 1968 to hold securities for participants of the Euroclear system (“Euroclear Participants”) and to clear and settle transactions between Euroclear Participants through simultaneous electronic book-entry delivery against payment, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of certificates and any risk from lack of simultaneous transfers of securities and cash. Transactions may now be settled in any of numerous currencies, including United States dollars. The Euroclear system includes various other services, including securities lending and borrowing and interfaces with domestic markets in several countries generally similar to the arrangements for cross-market transfers with DTC described above. Euroclear is operated by Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. (the “Euroclear Operator”). All operations are conducted by the Euroclear Operator, and all Euroclear securities clearance accounts and Euroclear cash accounts are accounts with the Euroclear Operator. Euroclear Participants include banks (including central banks), securities brokers and dealers and other professional financial intermediaries and may include the underwriters. Indirect access to the Euroclear system is also available to other firms that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Euroclear Participant, either directly or indirectly.

 

Securities clearance accounts and cash accounts with the Euroclear Operator are governed by the Terms and Conditions Governing Use of Euroclear and the related operating procedures of the Euroclear System and applicable Belgian law (collectively, the “Terms and Conditions”). The Terms and Conditions govern transfers of securities and cash within the Euroclear system, withdrawal of securities and cash from the Euroclear system, and receipts of payments with respect to securities in the Euroclear system. All securities in the Euroclear system are held on a fungible basis without attribution of specific certificates to specific securities clearance accounts. The Euroclear Operator acts under the Terms and Conditions only on behalf of Euroclear Participants and has no record of or relationship with persons holding through Euroclear Participants.

 

Although DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream have implemented the foregoing procedures in order to facilitate transfers of interests in book-entry securities among Participants of DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream, they are under no obligation to perform or to continue to comply with such procedures, and such procedures may be discontinued at any time. None of the depositor, the trustee, the certificate administrator, the master servicer, the special servicer or the underwriters will have any responsibility for the performance by DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream or their respective direct or indirect Participants of their respective obligations under the rules and procedures governing their operations.

 

Definitive Certificates

 

Owners of beneficial interests in book-entry certificates of any class will not be entitled to receive physical delivery of Definitive Certificates unless: (i) DTC advises the certificate registrar in writing that DTC is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities as depository with respect to the book-entry certificates of such class or ceases to be a clearing agency, and the certificate administrator and the depositor are unable to locate a qualified successor within 90 days of such notice or (ii) the trustee has instituted or has been directed to institute any judicial proceeding to enforce the rights of

 

 432

 

 

the Certificateholders of such class and the trustee has been advised by counsel that in connection with such proceeding it is necessary or appropriate for the trustee to obtain possession of the certificates of such class.

 

Certificateholder Communication

 

Access to Certificateholders’ Names and Addresses

 

Upon the written request of any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner that has delivered an executed Investor Certification to the trustee or the certificate administrator (a “Certifying Certificateholder”), the certificate administrator (in its capacity as certificate registrar) will promptly furnish or cause to be furnished to such requesting party a list of the names and addresses of the certificateholders as of the most recent Record Date as they appear in the certificate register, at the expense of the requesting party.

 

Requests to Communicate

 

The PSA will require that the certificate administrator include on any Form 10–D any request received prior to the Distribution Date to which such Form 10-D relates (and on or after the Distribution Date preceding such Distribution Date) from a Certificateholder or Certificate Owner to communicate with other Certificateholders or Certificate Owners related to Certificateholders or Certificate Owners exercising their rights under the terms of the PSA. Any Form 10-D containing such disclosure regarding the request to communicate is required to include the following and no more than the following: (i) the name of the Certificateholder or Certificate Owner making the request, (ii) the date the request was received, (iii) a statement to the effect that the certificate administrator has received such request, stating that such Certificateholder or Certificate Owner is interested in communicating with other Certificateholders or Certificate Owners with regard to the possible exercise of rights under the PSA, and (iv) a description of the method other Certificateholders or Certificate Owners may use to contact the requesting Certificateholder or Certificate Owner.

 

Any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner wishing to communicate with other Certificateholders and Certificate Owners regarding the exercise of its rights under the terms of the PSA (such party, a “Requesting Investor”) should deliver a written request (a “Communication Request”) signed by an authorized representative of the Requesting Investor to the certificate administrator at the address below:

trustadministrationgroup@wellsfargo.com

 

Any Communication Request must contain the name of the Requesting Investor and the method other Certificateholders and Certificate Owners should use to contact the Requesting Investor, and, if the Requesting Investor is not the registered holder of a class of certificates, then the Communication Request must contain (i) a written certification from the Requesting Investor that it is a beneficial owner of a class of certificates, and (ii) one of the following forms of documentation evidencing its beneficial ownership in such class of certificates: (A) a trade confirmation, (B) an account statement, (C) a medallion stamp guaranteed letter from a broker or dealer stating the Requesting Investor is the beneficial

owner, or (D) a document acceptable to the certificate administrator that is similar to any of the documents identified in clauses (A) through (C). The certificate administrator will not be permitted to require any information other than the foregoing in verifying a certificateholder’s or certificate owner’s identity in connection with a Communication Request. Requesting Investors will be responsible for their own expenses in making any Communication Request, but will not be required to bear any expenses of the certificate administrator.

 

List of Certificateholders

 

Upon the written request of any Certificateholder, which is required to include a copy of the communication the Certificateholder proposes to transmit, that has provided an Investor Certification, which request is made for purposes of communicating with other holders of certificates of the same series with respect to their rights under the PSA or the certificates, the certificate registrar or other specified person will, within 10 business days after receipt of such request afford such Certificateholder (at such Certificateholder’s sole cost and expense) access during normal business hours to the most recent list of Certificateholders related to the class of certificates. In addition, upon written request to the certificate administrator of any Certificateholder or certificate owner (if applicable) that has provided an Investor Certification, the certificate administrator is required to promptly notify such Certificateholder or certificate owner of the identity of the then-current Directing Certificateholder.

In the event any of the items identified above were not included in connection with the origination of such Mortgage Loan (other than documents that would not be included in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan because such document is inapplicable to the origination of a Mortgage Loan of that structure or type), the Diligence File will be required to include a statement to that effect. No information that is proprietary to the related originator or mortgage loan seller or any draft documents or privileged or internal communications or credit underwriting analysis will constitute part of the Diligence File. It is generally not required to include any of the same items identified above again if such items have already been included under another clause of the definition of Diligence File, and the Diligence File will be required to include a statement to that effect. The mortgage loan seller may, without any obligation to do so, include such other documents as part of the Diligence File that such mortgage loan seller believes should be included to enable the asset representations reviewer to perform the Asset Review on such Mortgage Loan; provided that such documents are clearly labeled and identified.

 

Each MLPA will contain certain representations and warranties of the applicable mortgage loan seller with respect to each Mortgage Loan sold by that mortgage loan seller. Those representations and warranties are set forth in Annex D-1 and will be made as of the date set forth in the related MLPA, subject to certain exceptions to such representations and warranties as set forth in Annex D-2.

 

If any of the documents required to be included in the Mortgage File for any Mortgage Loan is missing from the Mortgage File or defective or if there is a breach of a representation or warranty relating to any Mortgage Loan, and, in either case, such omission, defect or breach materially and adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage Loan, the value of the related Mortgaged Property or the interests of any Certificateholders in the Mortgage Loan or Mortgaged Property or causes the Mortgage Loan to be other than a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(3), but without regard to the rule of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that causes a defective obligation to be treated as a “qualified mortgage” (a “Material Defect”), the applicable mortgage loan seller will be required to, no later than 90 days following:

 

(i)  such mortgage loan seller’s discovery of the Material Defect or receipt of notice of the Material Defect from any party to the PSA (a “Breach Notice”), except in the case of the following clause (y); or

 

(ii) in the case of such Material Defect that would cause the Mortgage Loan not to be a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(3), but without regard to the rule of Treasury regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that causes a defective obligation to be treated as a qualified mortgage, the earlier of

 

(x) discovery by the related mortgage loan seller or any party to the PSA of such Material Defect, or

 

(y) receipt of a Breach Notice by the mortgage loan seller,

 

(A) cure such Material Defect in all material respects, at its own expense,

 

(B) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or REO Loan at the Purchase Price, or

 

 439

 

 

(C) substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (other than with respect to any Whole Loans, as applicable, for which no substitution will be permitted) for such affected Mortgage Loan, and pay a shortfall amount in connection with such substitution;

 

provided that no such substitution may occur on or after the second anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, however, that the applicable mortgage loan seller will generally have an additional 90-day period to cure such Material Defect (or, failing such cure, to repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or REO Loan or, if applicable, substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (other than with respect to any related Whole Loan, for which no substitution will be permitted), if it is diligently proceeding toward that cure, and has delivered to the master servicer, the special servicer, the certificate administrator (who will promptly deliver a copy of such officer’s certificate to the 17g-5 Information Provider), the trustee, the operating advisor and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder, an officer’s certificate that describes the reasons that a cure was not effected within the initial 90-day period; provided that if any such Material Defect is not cured after the initial cure period and any such extended cure period solely due to the failure of the mortgage loan seller to have received the recorded document, then the mortgage loan seller will be entitled to continue to defer its cure, repurchase and/or substitution obligations in respect of such Material Defect until eighteen (18) months after the closing date so long as the mortgage loan seller certifies to the trustee, the master servicer, the special servicer and the certificate administrator no less than every ninety (90) days thereafter that the Material Defect is still in effect solely because of its failure to have received the recorded document and that the mortgage loan seller is diligently pursuing the cure of such Material Defect (specifying the actions being taken). Notwithstanding the foregoing, there will be no such 90-day extension if such Material Defect would cause the related Mortgage Loan not to be a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(3), but without regard to the rule of Treasury regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that causes a defective Mortgage Loan to be treated as a qualified mortgage.

 

A delay in either the discovery of a Material Defect or in providing notice of such Material Defect will relieve the applicable mortgage loan seller of its obligation to cure, repurchase or substitute for (or make a Loss of Value Payment with respect to) the related Mortgage Loan if (i) the mortgage loan seller did not otherwise discover or have knowledge of such Material Defect, (ii) such delay is the result of the failure by a party to the PSA to promptly provide a notice of such Material Defect as required by the terms of the MLPA or the PSA after such party has actual knowledge of such defect or breach (knowledge will not be deemed to exist by reason of the custodian’s exception report or possession of the Mortgage File), (iii) such delay precludes the mortgage loan seller from curing such Material Defect and (iv) such Material Defect does not relate to the applicable mortgage loan not being a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(3), but without regard to the rule of Treasury regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that causes a defective obligation to be treated as a qualified mortgage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Mortgage Loan is not secured by a Mortgaged Property that is, in whole or in part, a hotel, restaurant (operated by a borrower), healthcare facility, nursing home, assisted living facility, self storage facility, theater or fitness center (operated by a borrower), then the failure to deliver copies of the UCC financing statements with respect to such Mortgage Loan will not be a Material Defect.

 

If there is a Material Defect with respect to one or more Mortgaged Properties with respect to a Mortgage Loan, the applicable mortgage loan seller will not be obligated to repurchase the Mortgage Loan if (i) the affected Mortgaged Property may be released pursuant to the terms of any partial release provisions in the related Mortgage Loan documents (and such Mortgaged Property is, in fact, released), (ii) the remaining Mortgaged

 

 440

 

 

Property(ies) satisfy the requirements, if any, set forth in the Mortgage Loan documents and the applicable mortgage loan seller provides an opinion of counsel to the effect that such release in lieu of repurchase would not (A) cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust or (B) result in the imposition of a tax upon any Trust REMIC, the Grantor Trust or the issuing entity and (iii) each applicable Rating Agency has provided a Rating Agency Confirmation.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in lieu of a mortgage loan seller repurchasing, substituting or curing such Material Defect, to the extent that the mortgage loan seller and the special servicer (for so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and in respect of any Mortgage Loan that is not an Excluded Loan with respect to such Directing Certificateholder or, except in the case of a Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan, the holder of the majority of the Controlling Class, with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder) are able to agree upon a cash payment payable by the mortgage loan seller to the issuing entity that would be deemed sufficient to compensate the issuing entity for such Material Defect (a “Loss of Value Payment”), the mortgage loan seller may elect, in its sole discretion, to pay such Loss of Value Payment. The special servicer will determine the amount of any applicable Loss of Value Payment (with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder in respect of any Mortgage Loan that is not an Excluded Loan and for so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing) and, in the case of any PSA Party Repurchase Request with respect to non-Specially Serviced Loans prior to the occurrence of a Resolution Failure, will communicate such amount to the master servicer for its enforcement action with the mortgage loan seller. In connection with any such determination with respect to any non-Specially Serviced Loan, the master servicer will promptly provide the special servicer, but in any event within the time frame and in the manner provided in the PSA, with the servicing file and all information, documents and records (including records stored electronically on computer tapes, magnetic discs and the like) relating to such non-Specially Serviced Loan and, if applicable, any related Serviced Companion Loan, either in the master servicer’s possession or otherwise reasonably available to the master servicer without undue burden or expense, and reasonably requested by the special servicer to the extent set forth in the PSA in order to permit the special servicer to calculate the Loss of Value Payment as set forth in the PSA. Upon its making such payment, the mortgage loan seller will be deemed to have cured such Material Defect in all respects. A Loss of Value Payment may not be made with respect to any such Material Defect that would cause the applicable Mortgage Loan not to be a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(3), but without regard to the rule of Treasury regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that causes a defective Mortgage Loan to be treated as a qualified mortgage.

 

With respect to any Mortgage Loan, the “Purchase Price” is equal to the sum of (1) the outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan (or related REO Loan (excluding, for such purpose, the related Companion Loan, if applicable)), as of the date of purchase, (2) all accrued and unpaid interest on the Mortgage Loan (or any related REO Loan (excluding, for such purpose, the related Companion Loan, if applicable)) at the related Mortgage Rate in effect from time to time (excluding any portion of such interest that represents default interest or Excess Interest on an ARD Loan), to, but not including, the due date immediately preceding or coinciding with the Determination Date for the Collection Period of purchase, (3) all related unreimbursed Servicing Advances plus accrued and unpaid interest on all related Advances at the Reimbursement Rate, Special Servicing Fees (whether paid or unpaid) and any other additional trust fund expenses (except for Liquidation Fees) in respect of such Mortgage Loan or related REO Loan (excluding, for such purposes, any Companion Loan, if any), (4) solely in the case of a repurchase or substitution by a mortgage loan seller, all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred or to be

 

 441

 

 

incurred by the master servicer, the special servicer, the depositor, the certificate administrator or the trustee in respect of the omission, breach or defect giving rise to the repurchase or substitution obligation, including any expenses arising out of the enforcement of the repurchase or substitution obligation (or, in the case of LCF, enforcement of the payment guarantee obligations of Ladder Capital Finance Holdings LLLP, Series REIT of Ladder Capital Finance Holdings LLLP and Series TRS of Ladder Capital Finance Holdings LLLP pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to which LCF is a party), including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses and any additional trust fund expenses relating to such Mortgage Loan or related REO Loan; provided, however, that such out-of-pocket expenses will not include expenses incurred by investors in instituting an Asset Review Vote Election, in taking part in an Affirmative Asset Review Vote or in utilizing the dispute resolution provisions described below under “—Dispute Resolution Provisions”, (5) Liquidation Fees, if any, payable with respect to the affected Mortgage Loan or related REO Loan (which will not include any Liquidation Fees if such affected Mortgage Loan is repurchased prior to the expiration of the additional 90-day period immediately following the initial 90-day period) and (6) solely in the case of a repurchase or substitution by the related mortgage loan seller, any Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee for such Mortgage Loan, to the extent not previously paid by the related mortgage loan seller.

 

A “Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan” is a substitute mortgage loan (other than with respect to any Whole Loan, for which no substitution will be permitted) replacing a Mortgage Loan with respect to which a material breach or document defect exists that must, on the date of substitution:

 

(a)       have an outstanding principal balance, after application of all scheduled payments of principal and interest due during or prior to the month of substitution, whether or not received, not in excess of the Stated Principal Balance of the removed Mortgage Loan as of the due date in the calendar month during which the substitution occurs;

 

(b)       have a fixed Mortgage Rate not less than the Mortgage Rate of the removed Mortgage Loan (determined without regard to any prior modification, waiver or amendment of the terms of the removed Mortgage Loan);

 

(c)       have the same due date and a grace period no longer than that of the removed Mortgage Loan;

 

(d)       accrue interest on the same basis as the removed Mortgage Loan (for example, on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months);

 

(e)       have a remaining term to stated maturity not greater than, and not more than five years less than, the remaining term to stated maturity of the removed Mortgage Loan;

 

(f)       have a then-current loan-to-value ratio equal to or less than the lesser of (i) the loan-to-value ratio for the removed Mortgage Loan as of the Closing Date and (ii) 75%, in each case using a “value” for the Mortgaged Property as determined using an appraisal conducted by a member of the Appraisal Institute (“MAI”) prepared in accordance with the requirements of the FIRREA;

 

(g)       comply as of the date of substitution in all material respects with all of the representations and warranties set forth in the related MLPA;

 

 442

 

 

(h)       have an environmental report that indicates no material adverse environmental conditions with respect to the related Mortgaged Property and that will be delivered as a part of the related Mortgage File;

 

(i)       have a then-current debt service coverage ratio at least equal to the greater of (i) the original debt service coverage ratio of the removed Mortgage Loan as of the Closing Date and (ii) 1.25x;

 

(j)       constitute a “qualified replacement mortgage” within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(4) as evidenced by an opinion of counsel (provided at the related mortgage loan seller’s expense);

 

(k)       not have a maturity date or an amortization period that extends to a date that is after the date five years prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date;

 

(l)       have comparable prepayment restrictions to those of the removed Mortgage Loan;

 

(m)       not be substituted for a removed Mortgage Loan unless the trustee and the certificate administrator have received a Rating Agency Confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies (the cost, if any, of obtaining such Rating Agency Confirmation to be paid by the related mortgage loan seller);

 

(n)       have been approved, so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and the affected Mortgage Loan is not an Excluded Loan, by the Directing Certificateholder;

 

(o)       prohibit defeasance within two years of the Closing Date;

 

(p)       not be substituted for a removed Mortgage Loan if it would result in the termination of the REMIC status of any Trust REMIC or the grantor trust status of the Grantor Trust or the imposition of tax on the Trust, Grantor Trust or any Trust REMIC other than a tax on income expressly permitted or contemplated to be imposed by the terms of the PSA, as determined by an opinion of counsel at the cost of the related mortgage loan seller;

 

(q)       have an engineering report that indicates no material adverse property condition or deferred maintenance with respect to the related Mortgaged Property that will be delivered as a part of the related servicing file; and

 

(r)       be current in the payment of all scheduled payments of principal and interest then due.

 

In the event that more than one Mortgage Loan is substituted for a removed Mortgage Loan or Mortgage Loans, then (x) the amounts described in clause (a) are required to be determined on the basis of aggregate principal balances and (y) each such proposed Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan must individually satisfy each of the requirements specified in clauses (b) through (r) of the preceding sentence, except (z) the rates described in clause (b) above and the remaining term to stated maturity referred to in clause (e) above are required to be determined on a weighted average basis, provided that no individual Mortgage Rate (net of the Servicing Fee Rate, the Certificate Administrator/Trustee Fee Rate, the Operating Advisor Fee Rate, the Asset Representations Reviewer Fee Rate and the CREFC® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fee Rate) may be lower than the highest fixed Pass-Through Rate (not based on or subject to a cap equal to or based on the WAC Rate) of any class of Principal Balance Certificates having a principal

 

 443

 

 

balance then-outstanding. When a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan is substituted for a removed Mortgage Loan, the applicable mortgage loan seller will be required to certify that the Mortgage Loan meets all of the requirements of the above definition and send the certification to the trustee the certificate administrator and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder.

 

The foregoing repurchase or substitution obligation or, if the applicable mortgage loan seller elects to make a Loss of Value Payment, the obligation to pay the Loss of Value Payment will constitute the sole remedy available to the Certificateholders and the trustee under the PSA for any uncured breach of any mortgage loan seller’s representations and warranties regarding the Mortgage Loans or any uncured document defect; provided that with respect to the obligations of LCF, pursuant to the related MLPA, Ladder Capital Finance Holdings LLLP, Series REIT of Ladder Capital Finance Holdings LLLP and Series TRS of Ladder Capital Finance Holdings LLLP will agree to guarantee payment in connection with the performance of such obligations; provided, further, that if any breach pertains to a representation or warranty that the related Mortgage Loan documents or any particular Mortgage Loan document requires the related borrower to bear the costs and expenses associated with any particular action or matter under such Mortgage Loan document(s), then the applicable mortgage loan seller (or, in the case of LCF, any of that mortgage loan seller, Ladder Capital Finance Holdings LLLP, Series REIT of Ladder Capital Finance Holdings LLLP and Series TRS of Ladder Capital Finance Holdings LLLP) may cure such breach within the applicable cure period (as the same may be extended) by reimbursing the issuing entity (by wire transfer of immediately available funds) for (i) the reasonable amount of any such costs and expenses incurred by parties to the PSA or the issuing entity that are incurred as a result of such breach and have not been reimbursed by the related borrower and (ii) the amount of any fees of the asset representations reviewer attributable to the Asset Review of such Mortgage Loan; provided, further, that in the event any such costs and expenses exceed $10,000, the applicable mortgage loan seller (or, in the case of mortgage loans sold by LCF, each of that mortgage loan seller, Ladder Capital Finance Holdings LLLP, Series REIT of Ladder Capital Finance Holdings LLLP and Series TRS of Ladder Capital Finance Holdings LLLP) will have the option to either repurchase or substitute for the related Mortgage Loan as provided above or pay such costs and expenses. The applicable mortgage loan seller (or, in the case of LCF, that mortgage loan seller, Ladder Capital Finance Holdings LLLP, Series REIT of Ladder Capital Finance Holdings LLLP and/or Series TRS of Ladder Capital Finance Holdings LLLP) will remit the amount of these costs and expenses and upon its making such remittance, the applicable mortgage loan seller (or other applicable party) will be deemed to have cured the breach in all respects. The applicable mortgage loan seller will be the sole warranting party in respect of the Mortgage Loans sold by that mortgage loan seller to the depositor, and (subject to the discussion above regarding LCF) none of its affiliates and no other person will be obligated to repurchase or replace any affected Mortgage Loan or make a Loss of Value Payment in connection with a breach of any representation and warranty or in connection with a document defect if the applicable mortgage loan seller defaults on its obligation to do so.

 

Dispute Resolution Provisions

 

The mortgage loan seller will be subject to the dispute resolution provisions described under “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Dispute Resolution Provisions” to the extent those provisions are triggered with respect to any mortgage loan sold to the depositor by the mortgage loan seller and will be obligated under the related MLPA to comply with all applicable provisions and to take part in any mediation or arbitration proceedings that may result.

 

 444

 

 

Asset Review Obligations

 

The mortgage loan seller will be obligated to perform its obligations described under “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—The Asset Representations Reviewer—Asset Review” relating to any Asset Reviews performed by the asset representations reviewer, and the mortgage loan seller will have the rights described under that heading.

 

Pooling and Servicing Agreement

 

General

 

The servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), any related Serviced Companion Loan and any related REO Properties (including any interest of the holder of any Companion Loan in the REO Property acquired with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan) will be governed by the PSA and any related Intercreditor Agreement.

 

Each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the related Non-Serviced Companion Loans and any related REO Properties (including the issuing entity’s interest in REO Property acquired with respect to a Non-Serviced Whole Loan) will be serviced by the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer and the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer under the related Non-Serviced PSA in accordance with such Non-Serviced PSA and the related Intercreditor Agreement. Unless otherwise specifically stated and except where the context otherwise indicates (such as with respect to P&I Advances), discussions in this section or in any other section of this prospectus regarding the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans should be deemed to include the servicing and administration of the related Serviced Companion Loans but not to include any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, any Non-Serviced Companion Loan and any related REO Property.

 

The following summaries describe certain provisions of the PSA relating to the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans (excluding each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), any related Companion Loan and any related REO Properties. In the case of any Serviced Whole Loan, certain provisions of the related Intercreditor Agreement are described under “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Serviced Whole Loans”.

 

Certain provisions of each Non-Serviced PSA relating to the servicing and administration of the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the related Non-Serviced Companion Loans, the related REO Properties and the related Intercreditor Agreement are summarized under “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loans”, “—The Non-Serviced AB Whole Loans” and “—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans” below.

 

As to particular servicing matters, the discussion under this heading “Pooling and Servicing Agreement” is applicable to the Servicing Shift Whole Loans only while the PSA governs the servicing of the related Servicing Shift Whole Loan. As described in “Risk FactorsRisks Related to Conflicts of InterestThe Servicing of the Servicing Shift Whole Loans Will Shift to Other Servicers”, on and after the Servicing Shift Securitization Date, the Servicing Shift Whole Loan will be serviced pursuant to the Servicing Shift PSA, and the provisions of such Servicing Shift PSA may be different than the terms of the PSA, although such Servicing Shift Whole Loan will still need to be serviced in compliance with the requirements of the related Intercreditor Agreement, as described in “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans”.

 

 445

 

 

The PSA does not include an obligation for any party of the PSA to advise a Certificateholder with respect to its rights and protections relative to the trust.

 

Assignment of the Mortgage Loans

 

The depositor will purchase the Mortgage Loans to be included in the issuing entity on or before the Closing Date from each of the mortgage loan sellers pursuant to separate MLPAs. See “Transaction Parties—The Sponsors and Mortgage Loan Sellers” and “Description of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements”.

 

On the Closing Date, the depositor will sell, transfer or otherwise convey, assign or cause the assignment of the Mortgage Loans, without recourse, together with the depositor’s rights and remedies against the mortgage loan sellers under the MLPAs, to the trustee and Cayman agent for the benefit of the holders of the certificates. On or prior to the Closing Date, the depositor will require each mortgage loan seller to deliver to the certificate administrator, in its capacity as custodian, the Mortgage Notes and certain other documents and instruments with respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Whole Loan. The custodian will hold such documents in the name of the issuing entity for the benefit of the holders of the certificates. The custodian is obligated to review certain documents for each Mortgage Loan within 60 days of the Closing Date and report any missing documents or certain types of document defects to the parties to the PSA, the Directing Certificateholder (for so long as no Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and other than in respect of an Excluded Loan) and the related mortgage loan seller.

 

The mortgage loan seller will retain a third party vendor to complete the assignment and recording or filing of the Marriott Grand Cayman Mortgage Loan documents to the Cayman agent for the benefit of the Certificateholders. Wells Fargo Bank is also serving as the Cayman agent with respect to the Marriott Grand Cayman Mortgage Loan for the sole purpose of being the mortgagee of record with respect to the Marriott Grand Cayman Mortgage Loan following the transfer of such Mortgage Loan to the Issuing Entity. In its capacity as Cayman agent, Wells Fargo Bank will not take any action except upon direction of the trustee. The mortgage loan seller will be required to effect (at its expense) the assignment and recordation or filing of the Marriott Grand Cayman Mortgage Loan documents until the assignment and recordation or filing of all Marriott Grand Cayman Mortgage Loan documents has been completed.

 

In addition, pursuant to the related MLPA, each mortgage loan seller will be required to deliver the Diligence File for each of its Mortgage Loans to the depositor by uploading such Diligence File to the designated website within 60 days following the Closing Date, and the depositor will deliver to the certificate administrator an electronic copy of such Diligence Files to be posted to the secure data room.

 

Pursuant to the PSA, the depositor will assign to the trustee for the benefit of Certificateholders the representations and warranties made by the mortgage loan sellers to the depositor in the MLPAs and any rights and remedies that the depositor has against the mortgage loan sellers under the MLPAs with respect to any Material Defect. See “—Enforcement of Mortgage Loan Seller’s Obligations Under the MLPA” below and “Description of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements”.

 

Servicing Standard

 

The master servicer and the special servicer will be required to diligently service and administer the Mortgage Loans (excluding each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), any related

 

 446

 

 

Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan and the related REO Properties (other than any REO Property related to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) for which it is responsible in accordance with applicable law, the terms of the PSA, the Mortgage Loan documents, and the related Intercreditor Agreements and, to the extent consistent with the foregoing, in accordance with the higher of the following standards of care: (1) the same manner in which, and with the same care, skill, prudence and diligence with which the master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, services and administers similar mortgage loans for other third-party portfolios, and (2) the same care, skill, prudence and diligence with which the master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, services and administers similar mortgage loans owned by the master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, with a view to: (A) the timely recovery of all payments of principal and interest under the Mortgage Loans or any Serviced Whole Loan or (B) in the case of a Specially Serviced Loan or an REO Property, the maximization of recovery of principal and interest on a net present value basis on the Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, and the best interests of the issuing entity and the Certificateholders (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders constituted a single lender) (and, in the case of any Whole Loan, the best interests of the issuing entity, the Certificateholders and the holder of the related Companion Loan (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and the holder or holders of the related Companion Loan constituted a single lender), taking into account the pari passu nature of the related Companion Loan), as determined by the master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, in its reasonable judgment, in either case giving due consideration to the customary and usual standards of practice of prudent, institutional commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community mortgage loan servicers, but without regard to any conflict of interest arising from:

 

(A) any relationship that the master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, or any of their respective affiliates, may have with any of the underlying borrowers, the sponsors, the mortgage loan sellers, the originators, any party to the PSA or any affiliate of the foregoing;

 

(B) the ownership of any certificate (or any interest in any Companion Loan, mezzanine loan or subordinate debt relating to a Mortgage Loan) by the master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, or any of their respective affiliates;

 

(C) the obligation, if any, of the master servicer to make advances;

 

(D) the right of the master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, or any of its affiliates to receive compensation or reimbursement of costs under the PSA generally or with respect to any particular transaction;

 

(E) the ownership, servicing or management for others of (i) a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and a Non-Serviced Companion Loan or (ii) any other mortgage loans, subordinate debt, mezzanine loans or properties not covered by the PSA or held by the issuing entity by the master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, or any of its affiliates;

 

(F) any debt that the master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, or any of its affiliates, has extended to any underlying borrower or an affiliate of any borrower (including, without limitation, any mezzanine financing);

 

(G) any option to purchase any Mortgage Loan or the related Companion Loan the master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, or any of its affiliates, may have; and

 

 447

 

 

(H) any obligation of the master servicer or the special servicer, or any of their respective affiliates, to repurchase or substitute for a Mortgage Loan as a mortgage loan seller (if the master servicer or the special servicer or any of their respective affiliates is a mortgage loan seller) (the foregoing, collectively referred to as the “Servicing Standard”).

 

All net present value calculations and determinations made under the PSA with respect to any Mortgage Loan, Mortgaged Property or REO Property (including for purposes of the definition of “Servicing Standard” set forth above) will be made in accordance with the Mortgage Loan documents or, in the event the Mortgage Loan documents are silent, by using a discount rate (i) for principal and interest payments on the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan or sale by the special servicer of a Defaulted Loan, the highest of (1) the rate determined by the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, that approximates the market rate that would be obtainable by the related borrower on similar non-defaulted debt of such borrower as of such date of determination, (2) the Mortgage Rate and (3) the yield on 10-year U.S. treasuries as of such date of determination and (ii) for all other cash flows, including property cash flow, the “discount rate” set forth in the most recent appraisal (or updated appraisal) of the related Mortgaged Property.

 

In the case of each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the master servicer and the special servicer will be required to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard with respect to any action required to be taken regarding such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan pursuant to their respective obligations under the PSA.

 

Subservicing

 

The master servicer and the special servicer may delegate and/or assign some or all of its respective servicing obligations and duties with respect to some or all of the Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan for which it is responsible to one or more third-party sub-servicers, provided that the master servicer and the special servicer, as applicable, will remain obligated under the PSA. A sub-servicer may be an affiliate of the depositor, the master servicer or the special servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the special servicer may not enter into any sub-servicing agreement that provides for the performance by third parties of any or all of its obligations under the PSA without, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and other than with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is an Excluded Loan, the consent of the Directing Certificateholder, except to the extent necessary for the special servicer to comply with applicable regulatory requirements.

 

Each sub-servicing agreement between the master servicer or special servicer and a sub-servicer (a “Sub-Servicing Agreement”) will generally be required to provide that (i) if for any reason the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, is no longer acting in that capacity (including, without limitation, by reason of a Servicer Termination Event), the trustee or any successor master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, may, except with respect to certain initial Sub-Servicing Agreements, assume or terminate such party’s rights and obligations under such Sub-Servicing Agreement and (ii) the sub-servicer will be in default under such Sub-Servicing Agreement and such Sub-Servicing Agreement will be terminated (following the expiration of any applicable grace period) if the sub-servicer fails (A) to deliver by the due date any Exchange Act reporting items required to be delivered to the master servicer, the certificate administrator or the depositor pursuant to the PSA or such Sub-Servicing Agreement or to the master servicer under any other pooling and servicing agreement that the depositor is a party to, or (B) to perform in any material respect any of its covenants or obligations contained in such Sub-Servicing Agreement regarding creating, obtaining or delivering any Exchange Act reporting items required in

 

 448

 

 

order for any party to the PSA to perform its obligations under the PSA or under the Exchange Act reporting requirements of any other pooling and servicing agreement to which the depositor is a party. The master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, will be required to monitor the performance of sub-servicers retained by it and will have the right to remove a sub-servicer retained by it pursuant to the terms of the related Sub-Servicing Agreement. However, no sub-servicer will be permitted under any Sub-Servicing Agreement to make material servicing decisions, such as loan modifications or determinations as to the manner or timing of enforcing remedies under the Mortgage Loan documents, without the consent of the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable. The master servicer’s consent may also be required for certain other servicing decisions as provided in the related Sub-Servicing Agreement.

 

Generally, the master servicer will be solely liable for all fees owed by it to any sub-servicer retained by the master servicer, without regard to whether the master servicer’s compensation pursuant to the PSA is sufficient to pay those fees. Each sub-servicer will be required to be reimbursed by the master servicer for certain expenditures which such sub-servicer makes, only to the same extent the master servicer is reimbursed under the PSA.

 

Advances

 

P&I Advances

 

On the business day immediately preceding each Distribution Date (the “P&I Advance Date”), except as otherwise described below, the master servicer will be obligated, unless determined to be nonrecoverable as described below, to make advances (each, a “P&I Advance”) out of its own funds or, subject to the replacement of those funds as provided in the PSA, certain funds held in the Collection Account that are not required to be part of the Available Funds for that Distribution Date, in an amount equal to (but subject to reduction as described below) the aggregate of:

 

(1)       all Periodic Payments (other than balloon payments) (net of any applicable Servicing Fees) that were due on the Mortgage Loans (including any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any REO Loan (other than any portion of an REO Loan related to a Companion Loan) during the related Collection Period and not received as of the business day preceding the P&I Advance Date; and

 

(2)       in the case of each Mortgage Loan that is delinquent in respect of its balloon payment as of the P&I Advance Date (including any REO Loan (other than any portion of an REO Loan related to a Companion Loan) as to which the balloon payment would have been past due), an amount equal to its Assumed Scheduled Payment.

 

The master servicer’s obligations to make P&I Advances in respect of any Mortgage Loan (including any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or REO Loan (other than any portion of an REO Loan related to a Companion Loan) will continue, except if a determination as to non-recoverability is made, through and up to liquidation of the Mortgage Loan or disposition of the REO Property, as the case may be. To the extent that the master servicer fails to make a P&I Advance that it is required to make under the PSA, the trustee will be required to make the required P&I Advance in accordance with the terms of the PSA.

 

If an Appraisal Reduction Amount has been determined with respect to any Mortgage Loan (or, in the case of a Non-Serviced Whole Loan, an appraisal reduction has been made in accordance with the related Non-Serviced PSA and the master servicer has notice of such appraisal reduction amount) and such Mortgage Loan experiences subsequent

 

 449

 

 

delinquencies, then the interest portion of any P&I Advance in respect of that Mortgage Loan for the related Distribution Date will be reduced (there will be no reduction in the principal portion, if any, of such P&I Advance) to equal the product of (x) the amount of the interest portion of the P&I Advance for that Mortgage Loan for the related Distribution Date without regard to this sentence, and (y) a fraction, expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which is equal to the Stated Principal Balance of that Mortgage Loan immediately prior to the related Distribution Date, net of the related Appraisal Reduction Amount (or, in the case of any Whole Loan, the portion of such Appraisal Reduction Amount allocated to the related Mortgage Loan), if any, and the denominator of which is equal to the Stated Principal Balance of that Mortgage Loan immediately prior to the related Distribution Date.

 

Neither the master servicer nor the trustee will be required to make a P&I Advance for a balloon payment, default interest, late payment charges, Yield Maintenance Charges or Prepayment Premiums, Excess Interest or with respect to any Companion Loan or any cure payment payable by a holder of a Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan.

 

Servicing Advances

 

In addition to P&I Advances, except as otherwise described under “—Recovery of Advances” below and except in certain limited circumstances described below, the master servicer will also be obligated (subject to the limitations described in this prospectus), to make advances (“Servicing Advances” and, collectively with P&I Advances, “Advances”) in connection with the servicing and administration of any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Companion Loan, as applicable, in respect of which a default, delinquency or other unanticipated event has occurred or is reasonably foreseeable, or, in connection with the servicing and administration of any Mortgaged Property securing such Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or REO Property (other than REO Property related to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), in order to pay delinquent real estate taxes, assessments and hazard insurance premiums and to cover other similar costs and expenses necessary to preserve the priority of or enforce the related Mortgage Loan documents or to protect, lease, manage and maintain the related Mortgaged Property. To the extent that the master servicer fails to make a Servicing Advance that it is required to make under the PSA and the trustee has received notice or otherwise has actual knowledge of this failure, the trustee will be required to make the required Servicing Advance in accordance with the terms of the PSA.

 

However, none of the master servicer, the special servicer or the trustee will make any Servicing Advance in connection with the exercise of any cure rights or purchase rights granted to the holder of a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan under the related Intercreditor Agreement or the PSA.

 

The special servicer will have no obligation to make any Servicing Advances. However, in an urgent or emergency situation requiring the making of a Servicing Advance, the special servicer may make such Servicing Advance, and the master servicer will be required to reimburse the special servicer for such Advance (with interest on that Advance) within a specified number of days as set forth in the PSA, unless such Advance is determined to be nonrecoverable by the master servicer in its reasonable judgment (in which case it will be reimbursed out of the Collection Account). Once the special servicer is reimbursed, the master servicer will be deemed to have made the special servicer’s Servicing Advance as of the date made by the special servicer, and will be entitled to reimbursement with interest on that Advance in accordance with the terms of the PSA.

 

 450

 

 

No Servicing Advances will be made with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan if the related Mortgage Loan is no longer held by the issuing entity or if such Serviced Whole Loan is no longer serviced under the PSA and no Servicing Advances will be made for any Non-Serviced Whole Loans under the PSA. Any requirement of the master servicer or the trustee to make an Advance in the PSA is intended solely to provide liquidity for the benefit of the Certificateholders and not as credit support or otherwise to impose on any such person the risk of loss with respect to one or more Mortgage Loans or the related Companion Loan.

 

The master servicer will also be obligated to make Servicing Advances with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan. With respect to a Non-Serviced Whole Loan, the applicable servicer under the related Non-Serviced PSA will be obligated to make property protection advances with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan. See “—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans”, “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loans” and “—The Non-Serviced AB Whole Loans”.

 

Nonrecoverable Advances

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the master servicer, the special servicer or the trustee will be obligated to make any Advance that the master servicer or the special servicer, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, or the trustee, in its good faith business judgment, determines would, if made, not be recoverable (including recovery of interest on the Advance) out of Related Proceeds (a “Nonrecoverable Advance”). In addition, the special servicer may, at its option make a determination in accordance with the Servicing Standard that any P&I Advance or Servicing Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, and if it makes such a determination, must deliver to the master servicer (and, with respect to a Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan, to the master servicer or special servicer under the pooling and servicing agreement governing any securitization trust into which any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan is deposited, and, with respect to each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer and Non-Serviced Special Servicer), the certificate administrator, the trustee, the operating advisor and the 17g-5 Information Provider notice of such determination, which determination will be conclusive and binding on the master servicer and the trustee. The special servicer will have no such obligation to make an affirmative determination that any P&I Advance or Servicing Advance is, or would be, recoverable, and in the absence of a determination by the special servicer that such an Advance is non-recoverable, each such decision will remain with the master servicer or the trustee, as applicable. If the special servicer makes a determination that only a portion, and not all, of any previously made or proposed P&I Advance or Servicing Advance is non-recoverable, the master servicer and the trustee will have the right to make its own subsequent determination that any remaining portion of any such previously made or proposed P&I Advance or Servicing Advance is non-recoverable.

 

In making such non-recoverability determination, each person will be entitled to consider (among other things): (a) (i) the obligations of the borrower under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan, as applicable, as it may have been modified, and (ii) the related Mortgaged Properties in their “as-is” or then-current conditions and occupancies, as modified by such party’s assumptions regarding the possibility and effects of future adverse change with respect to such Mortgaged Properties, (b) estimated future expenses, (c) estimated timing of recoveries, and (d) the existence of any Nonrecoverable Advances which, at the time of such consideration, the recovery of which are being deferred or delayed by the master servicer or the trustee because there is insufficient principal available for such recovery, in light of the fact that Related Proceeds are a source of

 

 451

 

 

recovery not only for the Advance under consideration but also a potential source of recovery for such delayed or deferred Advance. In addition, any such person may update or change its recoverability determinations (but not reverse any other person’s determination that an Advance is non-recoverable) at any time and may obtain at the expense of the issuing entity any reasonably required analysis, appraisals or market value estimates or other information for such purposes. Absent bad faith, any non-recoverability determination described in this paragraph will be conclusive and binding on the Certificateholders, and may be conclusively relied upon by, but (other than a non-recoverability determination by the special servicer) is not binding upon, the master servicer and the trustee. The master servicer and the trustee will be entitled to rely conclusively on and will be bound by any non-recoverability determination of the special servicer. Nonrecoverable Advances will represent a portion of the losses to be borne by the Certificateholders.

 

With respect to a Non-Serviced Whole Loan, if any servicer under the related Non-Serviced PSA determines that a principal and interest advance with respect to the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan, if made, would be non-recoverable, such determination will not be binding on the master servicer and the trustee as it relates to any proposed P&I Advance with respect to such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that the master servicer and the trustee may rely on the non-recoverability determination of the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer or Non-Serviced Trustee under the related Non-Serviced PSA. Similarly, with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, if the master servicer or the special servicer determines that any P&I Advance with respect to such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, if made, would be non-recoverable, such determination will not be binding on the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer and Non-Serviced Trustee as such determination relates to any proposed P&I Advance with respect to the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan (unless the related Non-Serviced PSA provides otherwise).

 

Recovery of Advances

 

The master servicer, the special servicer and the trustee, as applicable, will be entitled to recover (a) any Servicing Advance made out of its own funds from any amounts collected in respect of a Mortgage Loan (or, consistent with the related Intercreditor Agreement, a Serviced Whole Loan) as to which such Servicing Advance was made, and (b) any P&I Advance made out of its own funds from any amounts collected in respect of the Mortgage Loan as to which such P&I Advance was made, whether in the form of late payments, insurance and condemnation proceeds, liquidation proceeds or otherwise from the related Mortgage Loan or Mortgaged Property (“Related Proceeds”). Each of the master servicer, the special servicer and the trustee will be entitled to recover any Advance by it that it subsequently determines to be a Nonrecoverable Advance out of general collections on or relating to the Mortgage Loans on deposit in the Collection Account (first from principal collections and then from any other collections). Amounts payable in respect of any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement will not be available for distributions on the certificates or for the reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances of principal or interest with respect to the related Mortgage Loan, but will be available, in accordance with the PSA and related Intercreditor Agreement, for the reimbursement of any Servicing Advances with respect to the related Serviced Whole Loan. If a Servicing Advance by the master servicer or the special servicer (or trustee, as applicable) on a Serviced Whole Loan becomes a Nonrecoverable Advance and the master servicer, the special servicer or the trustee, as applicable, is unable to recover such amounts from related proceeds or the related Companion Loan, as applicable, the master servicer, the special servicer or the trustee (as applicable) will be permitted to recover such Nonrecoverable Advance (including interest thereon) out of general collections on or relating to the Mortgage Loans on deposit in the Collection Account.

 

 452

 

 

If the funds in the Collection Account relating to the Mortgage Loans allocable to principal on the Mortgage Loans are insufficient to fully reimburse the party entitled to reimbursement, then such party as an accommodation may elect, on a monthly basis, at its sole option and discretion to defer reimbursement of the portion that exceeds such amount allocable to principal (in which case interest will continue to accrue on the unreimbursed portion of the advance) for a time as required to reimburse the excess portion from principal for a consecutive period up to 12 months (provided that, with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan, any such deferral exceeding 6 months will require, prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control Termination Event, the consent of the Directing Certificateholder) and any election to so defer will be deemed to be in accordance with the Servicing Standard; provided that no such deferral may occur at any time to the extent that amounts otherwise distributable as principal are available for such reimbursement.

 

In connection with a potential election by the master servicer or the trustee to refrain from the reimbursement of all or a portion of a particular Nonrecoverable Advance during the Collection Period for any Distribution Date, the master servicer or the trustee will be authorized to wait for principal collections on the Mortgage Loans to be received until the end of such Collection Period before making its determination of whether to refrain from the reimbursement of all or a portion of a particular Nonrecoverable Advance; provided, however, that if, at any time the master servicer or the trustee, as applicable, elects, in its sole discretion, not to refrain from obtaining such reimbursement or otherwise determines that the reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance during a Collection Period will exceed the full amount of the principal portion of general collections on or relating to the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account for such Distribution Date, then the master servicer or the trustee, as applicable, will be required to use its reasonable efforts to give the 17g-5 Information Provider 15 days’ notice of such determination for posting on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s website, unless extraordinary circumstances make such notice impractical, which means (1) that party determines in its sole discretion that waiting 15 days after such a notice could jeopardize its ability to recover such Nonrecoverable Advance, (2) changed circumstances or new or different information becomes known to that party that could affect or cause a determination or whether any Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance or whether to deter reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance or the determination in clause (1) above, or (3) in the case of the master servicer, it has not timely received from the trustee information required by the master servicer to consider in determining whether to defer reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance. If any of the circumstances described in clause (1), clause (2) or clause (3) above apply, the master servicer or trustee, as applicable, must give the 17g-5 Information Provider notice (in accordance with the procedures regarding Rule 17g-5 set forth in the PSA) of the anticipated reimbursement as soon as reasonably practicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, failure to give such notice will in no way affect the master servicer’s or the trustee’s election whether to refrain from obtaining such reimbursement or right to obtain reimbursement.

 

The master servicer, the special servicer and the trustee will be entitled to recover any Advance that is outstanding at the time that a Mortgage Loan is modified but is not repaid in full by the borrower in connection with such modification but becomes an obligation of the borrower to pay such amounts in the future (such Advance, together with interest on that Advance, a “Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount”) out of principal collections on the Mortgage Loans in the Collection Account.

 

Any amount that constitutes all or a portion of any Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount may in the future be determined to constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance and thereafter will be recoverable as any other Nonrecoverable Advance.

 

 453

 

 

In connection with its recovery of any Advance, each of the master servicer, the special servicer and the trustee will be entitled to be paid, out of any amounts relating to the Mortgage Loans then on deposit in the Collection Account, interest at the Prime Rate (the “Reimbursement Rate”) accrued on the amount of the Advance from the date made to, but not including, the date of reimbursement. Neither the master servicer nor the trustee will be entitled to interest on P&I Advances if the related Periodic Payment is received on or before the related Due Date and any applicable grace period has expired or if the related Periodic Payment is received after the Determination Date but on or prior to the P&I Advance Date. The “Prime Rate” will be the prime rate, for any day, set forth in The Wall Street Journal, New York City edition.

 

See “—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans” for reimbursements of servicing advances made in respect of a Non-Serviced Whole Loan under the related Non-Serviced PSA.

 

Accounts

 

The master servicer is required to establish and maintain, or cause to be established and maintained, one or more accounts and subaccounts (collectively, the “Collection Account”) in its own name on behalf of the trustee and for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The master servicer is required to deposit in the Collection Account on a daily basis (and in no event later than the 2nd business day following receipt in available and properly identified funds) all payments and collections due after the Cut-off Date and other amounts received or advanced with respect to the Mortgage Loans (including, without limitation, all proceeds (the “Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds”) received under any hazard, title or other insurance policy that provides coverage with respect to a Mortgaged Property or the related Mortgage Loan or in connection with the full or partial condemnation of a Mortgaged Property (other than proceeds applied to the restoration of the Mortgaged Property or released to the related borrower in accordance with the Servicing Standard (or, if applicable, the special servicer) and/or the terms and conditions of the related Mortgage) and all other amounts received and retained in connection with the liquidation of any Mortgage Loan that is defaulted and any related defaulted Companion Loan or property acquired by foreclosure or otherwise (the “Liquidation Proceeds”)) together with the net operating income (less reasonable reserves for future expenses) derived from the operation of any REO Properties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the collections on any Whole Loan will be limited to the portion of such amounts that are payable to the holder of the related Mortgage Loan pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement.

 

The master servicer will also be required to establish and maintain a segregated custodial account (each, a “Companion Distribution Account”) with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan, which may be a sub-account of the Collection Account, and deposit amounts collected in respect of such Serviced Companion Loan in such Companion Distribution Account. The issuing entity will only be entitled to amounts on deposit in any Companion Distribution Account to the extent these funds are not otherwise payable to the holder of a Serviced Companion Loan or payable or reimbursable to any party to the PSA. Any amounts in a Companion Distribution Account to which the issuing entity is entitled will be transferred on a monthly basis to the Collection Account.

 

With respect to each Distribution Date, the master servicer will be required to disburse from the Collection Account and remit to the certificate administrator for deposit into the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, to the extent of funds on deposit in the Collection Account, on the related P&I Advance Date, the Available Funds for such Distribution Date and any Yield Maintenance Charges or Prepayment Premiums received as of the related Determination Date. The certificate administrator is required to establish and maintain

 

 454

 

 

various accounts, including a “Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account” and a “Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account”, both of which may be sub-accounts of a single account, (collectively, the “Distribution Accounts”), in its own name on behalf of the trustee and for the benefit of the Certificateholders.

 

On each Distribution Date, the certificate administrator is required to apply amounts on deposit in the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account (which will include all funds that were remitted by the master servicer from the Collection Account, plus, among other things, any P&I Advances less amounts, if any, distributable to the Class R certificates) as set forth in the PSA generally to make distributions of interest and principal from Available Funds to the holders of the Regular Certificates, as described under “Description of the Certificates—Distributions”.

 

The certificate administrator is also required to establish and maintain an account (the “Interest Reserve Account”) which may be a sub-account of the Distribution Account, in its own name on behalf of the trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders. On the P&I Advance Date occurring each February and on any P&I Advance Date occurring in any January which occurs in a year that is not a leap year (in each case, unless the related Distribution Date is the final Distribution Date), the certificate administrator will be required to deposit amounts remitted by the master servicer or P&I Advances made on the related Mortgage Loans into the Interest Reserve Account during the related interest period, in respect of the Mortgage Loans that accrue interest on an Actual/360 Basis (collectively, the “Actual/360 Loans”), in an amount equal to one day’s interest at the Net Mortgage Rate for each such Actual/360 Loan on its Stated Principal Balance and as of the Distribution Date in the month preceding the month in which the P&I Advance Date occurs, to the extent a Periodic Payment or P&I Advance or other deposit is made in respect of the Mortgage Loans (all amounts so deposited in any consecutive January (if applicable) and February, “Withheld Amounts”). On the P&I Advance Date occurring each March (or February, if the related Distribution Date is the final Distribution Date), the certificate administrator will be required to withdraw from the Interest Reserve Account an amount equal to the Withheld Amounts from the preceding January (if applicable) and February, if any, and deposit that amount into the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account.

 

The certificate administrator will also be required to establish and maintain an account (the “Excess Interest Distribution Account”), which may, together with any other Securitization Account(s), be a sub-account of a single account. On the P&I Advance Date immediately preceding the applicable Distribution Date, the master servicer is required to remit to the certificate administrator for deposit into the Excess Interest Distribution Account an amount equal to any Excess Interest received by the master servicer during the related Collection Period.

 

The certificate administrator may be required to establish and maintain an account (the “Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account”), which may be a sub-account of the Distribution Account, in its own name on behalf of the trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders. To the extent that any gains are realized on sales of Mortgaged Properties (or, with respect to any Whole Loan, the portion of such amounts that are payable on the related Mortgage Loan pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement), such gains will be deposited into the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account and will be applied on the applicable Distribution Date as part of Available Funds to all amounts due and payable on the Regular Certificates including to reimburse for Realized Losses previously allocated to such certificates and to the extent not so applied, such gains will be held and applied to all amounts due and payable on the Regular Certificates and to offset future Realized Losses, if any (as determined by the special servicer). Any remaining amounts will be distributed on the Class R certificates on the final Distribution Date.

 

 455

 

 

The special servicer will also be required to establish one or more segregated custodial accounts (each, an “REO Account”) for collections from REO Properties. Each REO Account will be maintained by the special servicer in either its own name or in the name of the limited liability company wholly owned by the Trust and which is managed by the special servicer formed to hold title to the foreclosure property on behalf of the trustee and for the benefit of the Certificateholders.

 

The Collection Account, the Distribution Accounts, the Interest Reserve Account, the Companion Distribution Account, Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account and the REO Account are collectively referred to as the “Securitization Accounts” (but with respect to any Whole Loan, only to the extent of the issuing entity’s interest in the Whole Loan). Each of the foregoing accounts will be held at a depository institution or trust company meeting the requirements of the PSA.

 

Amounts on deposit in the foregoing accounts may be invested in certain United States government securities and other investments meeting the requirements of the PSA (“Permitted Investments”). Interest or other income earned on funds in the accounts maintained by the master servicer, the certificate administrator or the special servicer will be payable to each of them as additional compensation, and each of them will be required to bear any losses resulting from its investment of such funds.

 

Withdrawals from the Collection Account

 

The master servicer may, from time to time, make withdrawals from the Collection Account (or the applicable subaccount of the Collection Account, exclusive of the applicable Companion Distribution Account that may be a subaccount of the Collection Account) for any of the following purposes, in each case only to the extent permitted under the PSA and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, subject to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement, without duplication (the order set forth below not constituting an order of priority for such withdrawals):

Similarly, if the special servicer decides not to charge any fee, the master servicer will nevertheless be entitled to charge its portion of the related fee to which the master servicer would have been entitled if the special servicer had charged a fee and the special servicer will not be entitled to any portion of such fee charged by the master servicer.

 

In addition, the master servicer also is authorized but not required to invest or direct the investment of funds held in the Collection Account and Companion Distribution Account in Permitted Investments, and the master servicer will be entitled to retain any interest or other income earned on those funds and will bear any losses resulting from the investment of these funds, except as set forth in the PSA.

The “Workout Fee” will generally be payable with respect to each Corrected Loan and will be calculated by application of a “Workout Fee Rate” of 1.00% to each collection (other than penalty charges and Excess Interest) of interest and principal (other than any amount for which a Liquidation Fee would be paid) (including scheduled payments, prepayments, balloon payments, and payments at the maturity date or at the Anticipated Repayment Date) received on the Corrected Loan for so long as it remains a Corrected Loan; provided, however, that after receipt by the special servicer of Workout Fees with respect to such Corrected Loan in an amount equal to $25,000, any Workout Fees in excess of such amount will be reduced by the Excess Modification Fee Amount received by the special servicer; provided, further, however, that in the event the Workout Fee collected over the course of such workout calculated at the Workout Fee Rate is less than $25,000, then the special servicer will be entitled to an amount from the final payment on the related Corrected Loan (including any related Serviced Companion Loan) that would result in total Workout Fees payable to the special servicer in respect of that Corrected Loan (including any related Serviced Companion Loan) equal to $25,000. The “Excess Modification Fee Amount” with respect to the master servicer or special servicer, any Corrected Loan and any particular modification, waiver, extension or amendment with respect to such Corrected Loan that gives rise to the payment of a Workout Fee, is an amount equal to the aggregate of any Excess Modification Fees paid by or on behalf of the related borrower with respect to the related Mortgage Loan (including the related Serviced Companion Loan, if applicable, unless prohibited under the related Intercreditor Agreement) and received and retained by the master servicer or the special servicer, as applicable, as compensation within the prior 12 months of such modification, waiver, extension or amendment, but only to the extent those fees have not previously been deducted from a Workout Fee or Liquidation Fee. The Non-Serviced Whole Loan will be subject to a similar workout fee pursuant to the related Non-Serviced PSA. For further details, see “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loans”, “—The Non-Serviced AB Whole Loans” and “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans”.

 

The Workout Fee with respect to any Corrected Loan will cease to be payable if the Corrected Loan again becomes a Specially Serviced Loan but will become payable again if and when the Mortgage Loan (including a Serviced Companion Loan) again becomes a Corrected Loan. The Workout Fee with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan that becomes a Corrected Loan will be reduced by any Excess Modification Fees paid by or on behalf of the related borrower with respect to a related Mortgage Loan or REO Loan and received by the special servicer as compensation within the prior 12 months, but only to the extent those fees have not previously been deducted from a Workout Fee or Liquidation Fee.

 

The special servicer will not be entitled to any Workout Fee with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan or if a Mortgage Loan or the Serviced Whole Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan solely because of an event described in clause (1) of the definition of “Specially Serviced Loan” under the heading “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Special Servicing Transfer Event” and such payoff thereafter timely occurs within the specified timeframe.

 

If the special servicer is terminated (other than for cause) or resigns, it will retain the right to receive any and all Workout Fees payable with respect to a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan that became a Corrected Loan during the period that it acted as special servicer and remained a Corrected Loan at the time of that termination or resignation, except that such Workout Fees will cease to be payable if the Corrected Loan again becomes a Specially Serviced Loan. The successor special servicer will not be entitled

 

 469

 

 

to any portion of those Workout Fees. If the special servicer resigns or is terminated (other than for cause), it will receive any Workout Fees payable on Specially Serviced Loans for which the resigning or terminated special servicer had determined to grant a forbearance or cured the event of default through a modification, restructuring or workout negotiated by the special servicer and evidenced by a signed writing, but which had not as of the time the special servicer resigned or was terminated become a Corrected Loan solely because the borrower had not made 3 consecutive timely Periodic Payments and which subsequently becomes a Corrected Loan as a result of the borrower making such 3 consecutive timely Periodic Payments.

 

A “Liquidation Fee” will be payable to the special servicer with respect to (a) each Specially Serviced Loan or REO Property (except with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) as to which the special servicer receives (i) a full, partial or discounted payoff from the related borrower, or (ii) any Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds (including with respect to the related Companion Loan, if applicable) or (b) any Loss of Value Payment or Purchase Price paid by a mortgage loan seller with respect to any Mortgage Loan. The Liquidation Fee for each Specially Serviced Loan (and each related Serviced Companion Loan) and REO Property will be payable from, and will be calculated by application of a “Liquidation Fee Rate” of 1.00% to the related payment or proceeds (or, if such rate would result in an aggregate liquidation fee less than $25,000, then the Liquidation Fee Rate will be equal to such rate as would result in an aggregate liquidation fee equal to $25,000); provided that the Liquidation Fee with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan will be reduced by the amount of any Excess Modification Fees paid by or on behalf of the related borrower with respect to the related Mortgage Loan (including a Serviced Companion Loan) or REO Property and received by the special servicer as compensation within the prior 12 months, but only to the extent those fees have not previously been deducted from a Workout Fee or Liquidation Fee.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary described above, no Liquidation Fee will be payable based upon, or out of, Liquidation Proceeds or a Loss of Value Payment received in connection with:

 

(i)   (A) the repurchase of, or substitution for, any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan by a mortgage loan seller for a breach of representation or warranty or for defective or deficient Mortgage Loan documentation within the time period (or extension of such time period, if applicable) provided for such repurchase or substitution if such repurchase or substitution occurs prior to the termination of such time period (or extension of such time period, if applicable), or (B) the payment of a Loss of Value Payment in connection with any such breach or document defect if the applicable mortgage loan seller makes such Loss of Value Payment within the 90-day initial cure period or, if applicable, within the subsequent 90-day extended cure period,

 

(ii)   the purchase of any (A) any Specially Serviced Loan that is part of a Serviced AB Whole Loan or related REO Property by the holder of the related Subordinate Companion Loan or (b) any Specially Serviced Loan or an REO Property that is subject to mezzanine indebtedness by the holder of the related mezzanine loan, in each case, within 90 days of such holder’s purchase option first becoming exercisable during the period prior to such Mortgage Loan becoming a Corrected Loan,

 

(iii)  the purchase of all of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties in connection with any termination of the issuing entity,

 

 470

 

 

(iv)   with respect to a Serviced Companion Loan, (A) a repurchase of such Serviced Companion Loan by the related mortgage loan seller for a breach of representation or warranty or for defective or deficient Mortgage Loan documentation under the pooling and servicing agreement for the securitization trust that owns such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan within the time period (or extension of such time period) provided for such repurchase if such repurchase occurs prior to the termination of such extended period provided in such pooling and servicing agreement or (B) a purchase of such Serviced Companion Loan (if any) by an applicable party to a pooling and servicing agreement pursuant to a clean-up call or similar liquidation of another securitization entity,

 

(v)   the purchase of any Specially Serviced Loan by the special servicer or its affiliate (except if such affiliate purchaser is the Directing Certificateholder or its affiliate; provided, however, that if no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, and such affiliated Directing Certificateholder or its affiliate purchases any Specially Serviced Loan within 90 days after the special servicer delivers to the Directing Certificateholder for approval the initial asset status report with respect to such Specially Serviced Loan, the special servicer will not be entitled to a liquidation fee in connection with such purchase by the Directing Certificateholder or its affiliates), or

 

(vi)   if a Mortgage Loan or the Serviced Whole Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan only because of an event described in clause (1) of the definition of “Specially Serviced Loan” under the heading “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Special Servicing Transfer Event” and the related Liquidation Proceeds are received within 120 days following the related maturity date as a result of the related Mortgage Loan or the Serviced Whole Loan being refinanced or otherwise repaid in full provided such Specially Serviced Loan only became a Specially Serviced Loan on or after its maturity date.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a liquidation fee is not payable due to the application of any of clauses (i) through (vi) above, the special servicer may still collect and retain a liquidation fee and similar fees from the related borrower to the extent provided for in, or not prohibited by, the related Mortgage Loan documents. Each Non-Serviced Whole Loan will be subject to a similar liquidation fee pursuant to the related Non-Serviced PSA. For further detail, see “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loans” and “—The Non-Serviced AB Whole Loans”.

 

The special servicer will also be entitled to additional servicing compensation in the form of:

 

(i)   100% of all Excess Modification Fees related to modifications, waivers, extensions or amendments of any Specially Serviced Loans;

 

(ii)  100% of all assumption application fees received on any Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Companion Loan (to the extent not prohibited by the related Intercreditor Agreement), only for which the special servicer is processing the underlying assumption related transaction;

 

(iii)  100% of all assumption fees and other related fees as further described in the PSA, received with respect to the Specially Serviced Loans;

 

 471

 

 

(iv)  100% of waiver, consent and earnout fees and similar fees on any Specially Serviced Loan or certain other similar fees paid by the related borrower;

 

(v)   50% of all Excess Modification Fees and assumption fees, consent fees, earnout fees, review fees and similar fees received with respect to all Mortgage Loans (including any Serviced Companion Loan, to the extent not prohibited by the related Intercreditor Agreements, if applicable) (excluding any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) that are not Specially Serviced Loans that involve one or more Major Decisions or Special Servicer Non-Major Decisions;

 

(vi)   (A) 50% of all fees (other than assumption application fees) related to Major Decisions and Special Servicer Non-Major Decisions with respect to Mortgage Loans and Serviced Companion Loans that are not Specially Serviced Loans (and, solely with respect to clause (xviii) of the definition of “Major Decision”, Specially Serviced Loans) regardless of whether the master servicer or the special servicer processes such Major Decision or Special Servicer Non-Major Decision and (B) 100% of all fees related to Major Decisions and Special Servicer Non-Major Decisions with respect to Specially Serviced Loans, except only 50% of such fees solely with respect to clause (xviii) of the definition of “Major Decision”;

 

(vii)  100% of charges by the special servicer collected for checks returned for insufficient funds with respect to the accounts held by the special servicer;

 

(viii)  100% of charges for beneficiary statements actually paid by the borrowers to the extent such beneficiary statements are prepared by the special servicer; and

 

(ix)   late payment charges, demand charges and default interest paid by the borrowers and accrued while the related Mortgage Loans (including the related Companion Loan, if applicable, and to the extent not prohibited by the related Intercreditor Agreement) were Specially Serviced Loans and that are not needed to pay interest on Advances or certain additional trust fund expenses with respect to the related Mortgage Loan (including the related Companion Loan, if applicable, to the extent not prohibited by the related Intercreditor Agreement) since the Closing Date.

 

The special servicer also is authorized but not required to invest or direct the investment of funds held in the REO Account and the Loss of Value Payment reserve account in Permitted Investments, and the special servicer will be entitled to retain any interest or other income earned on those funds and will bear any losses resulting from the investment of these funds, except as set forth in the PSA.

 

With respect to any of the preceding fees as to which both the master servicer and the special servicer are entitled to receive a portion thereof, the master servicer and the special servicer will each have the right in their sole discretion, but not any obligation, to reduce or elect not to charge its respective portion of such fee; provided that (A) neither the master servicer nor the special servicer will have the right to reduce or elect not to charge the portion of any such fee due to the other and (B) to the extent either the master servicer or the special servicer exercises its right to reduce or elect not to charge its respective portion in any such fee, the party that reduced or elected not to charge its respective portion of such fee will not have any right to share in any part of the other party’s portion of such fee. If the master servicer decides not to charge any fee, the special servicer will nevertheless be entitled to charge its portion of the related fee to which the special servicer would have

 

 472

 

 

been entitled if the master servicer had charged a fee and the master servicer will not be entitled to any of such fee charged by the special servicer. Similarly if the special servicer decides not to charge any fee, the master servicer will nevertheless be entitled to charge its portion of the related fee to which the master servicer would have been entitled if the special servicer had charged a fee and the special servicer will not be entitled to any portion of such fee charged by the master servicer.

 

Each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is serviced under the related Non-Serviced PSA (including on those occasions under such Non-Serviced PSA when the servicing of such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan has been transferred from the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer to the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer). Accordingly, in its capacity as the special servicer under the PSA, the special servicer will not be entitled to receive any special servicing compensation for any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan. Only the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer will be entitled to special servicing compensation on any such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and only the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer will be entitled to special servicing compensation on any related Non-Serviced Whole Loan.

 

Disclosable Special Servicer Fees

 

The PSA will provide that the special servicer and its affiliates will be prohibited from receiving or retaining any Disclosable Special Servicer Fees in connection with the disposition, workout or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan and Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, the management or disposition of any REO Property, or the performance of any other special servicing duties under the PSA. The PSA will also provide that, with respect to each Distribution Date, the special servicer must deliver or cause to be delivered to the master servicer within two business days following the Determination Date, and the master servicer must deliver, to the extent it has received, to the certificate administrator, without charge and on the P&I Advance Date, an electronic report which discloses and contains an itemized listing of any Disclosable Special Servicer Fees received by the special servicer or any of its affiliates with respect to such Distribution Date, provided that no such report will be due in any month during which no Disclosable Special Servicer Fees were received.

 

Disclosable Special Servicer Fees” means, with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and related Serviced Companion Loan (including any related REO Property), any compensation and other remuneration (including, without limitation, in the form of commissions, brokerage fees, rebates, or as a result of any other fee-sharing arrangement) received or retained by the special servicer or any of its affiliates that is paid by any person (including, without limitation, the issuing entity, any mortgagor, any manager, any guarantor or indemnitor in respect of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan and any purchaser of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan or REO Property) in connection with the disposition, workout or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan or related Serviced Companion Loan, the management or disposition of any REO Property, and the performance by the special servicer or any such affiliate of any other special servicing duties under the PSA, other than (1) any Permitted Special Servicer/Affiliate Fees and (2) any compensation to which the special servicer is entitled pursuant to the PSA or any Non-Serviced PSA.

 

Permitted Special Servicer/Affiliate Fees” means any commercially reasonable treasury management fees, banking fees, title agency fees, insurance commissions or fees and appraisal fees received or retained by the special servicer or any of its affiliates in connection with any services performed by such party with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and Serviced Companion Loan (including any related REO Property) in accordance with the PSA.

 

 473

 

 

The special servicer will be required to pay its overhead and any general and administrative expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities under the PSA. The special servicer will not be entitled to reimbursement for any expenses incurred by it except as expressly provided in the PSA. See “Description of the Certificates—Distributions—Method, Timing and Amount”.

 

Certificate Administrator and Trustee Compensation

 

As compensation for the performance of its routine duties, the trustee and the certificate administrator will be paid a fee (collectively, the “Certificate Administrator/Trustee Fee”); provided that the Certificate Administrator/Trustee Fee includes the trustee fee. The Certificate Administrator/Trustee Fee will be payable monthly from amounts received in respect of the Mortgage Loans and will be equal to the product of a rate equal to 0.00908% per annum (the “Certificate Administrator/Trustee Fee Rate”) and the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and any REO Loans and will be calculated in the same manner as interest is calculated on such Mortgage Loans or REO Loans.

 

Operating Advisor Compensation

 

The fee of the operating advisor (the “Operating Advisor Fee”) will be payable monthly from amounts received in respect of each Mortgage Loan and REO Loan, and will be equal to (i) 0.00200% with respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than the Mortgage Loans identified on Annex A-1 as DoubleTree Wilmington, 50 Varick Street, Manchester Financial Building, and Atrisco Plaza Shopping Center) and REO Loan, (ii) 0.00408% with respect to the Mortgage Loan identified on Annex A-1 as DoubleTree Wilmington, (iii) 0.00488% with respect to the Mortgage Loan identified on Annex A-1 as 50 Varick Street, (iv) 0.00533% with respect to the Mortgage Loan identified on Annex A-1 as Manchester Financial Building, and (v) 0.00539% with respect to the Mortgage Loan identified on Annex A-1 as Atrisco Plaza Shopping Center (the “Operating Advisor Fee Rate”) and the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and any REO Loans and will be calculated in the same manner as interest is calculated on such Mortgage Loans and REO Loans.

The Operating Advisor Consulting Fee will be a fee for each such Major Decision equal to $10,000 (or such lesser amount as the related borrower agrees to pay) with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan or Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan); provided that the operating advisor may in its sole discretion reduce the Operating Advisor Consulting Fee with respect to any Major Decision; provided, further, however, that to the extent such fee is incurred after the outstanding Certificate Balances of the Control Eligible Certificates have been reduced to zero as a result of the allocation of Realized Losses to such certificates, such fee will be payable in full to the operating advisor as a trust fund expense.

 

Each of the Operating Advisor Fee and the Operating Advisor Consulting Fee will be payable from funds on deposit in the Collection Account out of amounts otherwise available to make distributions on the certificates as described above in “—Withdrawals from the Collection Account”, but with respect to the Operating Advisor Consulting Fee, only as and to the extent that such fee is actually received from the related borrower (other than as described above). If the operating advisor has consultation rights with respect to a Major Decision, the PSA will require the master servicer or the special servicer, as applicable, to use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect the applicable Operating Advisor Consulting Fee from the related borrower in connection with such Major Decision that are consistent with the efforts in accordance with the Servicing

 

 474

 

 

Standard that the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, would use to collect any fee owed to it by a borrower, but only to the extent not prohibited by the related Mortgage Loan documents, and in no event will it take any enforcement action with respect to the collection of such Operating Advisor Consulting Fee other than requests for collection. The master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, will each be permitted to waive or reduce the amount of any such Operating Advisor Consulting Fee payable by the related borrower if it determines that such full or partial waiver is in accordance with the Servicing Standard; provided that the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, will be required to consult, on a non-binding basis, with the operating advisor prior to any such waiver or reduction.

 

In addition to the Operating Advisor Fee and the Operating Advisor Consulting Fee, the operating advisor will be entitled to reimbursement of Operating Advisor Expenses in accordance with the terms of the PSA. “Operating Advisor Expenses” for each Distribution Date will equal any unreimbursed indemnification amounts or additional trust fund expenses payable to the operating advisor pursuant to the PSA (other than the Operating Advisor Fee and the Operating Advisor Consulting Fee).

 

Asset Representations Reviewer Compensation

 

The asset representations reviewer will be paid a fee of $5,000 (the “Asset Representations Reviewer Upfront Fee”) on the Closing Date. As compensation for the performance of its routine duties, the asset representations reviewer will be paid a fee (the “Asset Representations Reviewer Fee”). The Asset Representations Reviewer Fee will be payable monthly from amounts received in respect of each Mortgage Loan (including each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, but excluding any Companion Loan) and REO Loan, will be equal to the product of a rate equal to 0.00067% per annum (the “Asset Representations Reviewer Fee Rate”) and the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and any REO Loans and will be calculated in the same manner as interest is calculated on such Mortgage Loans.

The Asset Representations Reviewer Fee will be payable from funds on deposit in the Collection Account out of amounts otherwise available to make distributions on the certificates as described above in “—Withdrawals from the Collection Account”. The Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee with respect to each Delinquent Loan will be required to be paid by the related mortgage loan seller; provided, however, that if (i) the related mortgage loan seller is insolvent or (ii) at any time after the outstanding Certificate Balances of the Control Eligible Certificates have been reduced to zero as a result of the application of realized losses to such Certificates and the related mortgage loan seller fails to pay such amount within 90 days of written request by the asset representations reviewer, such fee will be paid by the trust following delivery by the asset representations reviewer of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the master servicer of such insolvency or failure to pay such amount (which evidence may be an officer’s certificate of the asset

The Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee with respect to a Delinquent Loan is required to be included in the Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan that was the subject of a completed Asset Review and that is repurchased by the related mortgage loan seller, and such portion of the Purchase Price received will be used to reimburse the trust for any such fees paid to the asset representations reviewer pursuant to the terms of the PSA.

Appraisal Reduction Amounts

 

After an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred with respect to a Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or a Serviced Whole Loan, an Appraisal Reduction Amount is required to be calculated. An “Appraisal Reduction Event” will occur on the earliest of:

 

(1)       120 days after an uncured delinquency (without regard to the application of any grace period), other than any uncured delinquency in respect of a balloon payment, occurs in respect of the Mortgage Loan or a related Companion Loan, as applicable;

 

(2)       the date on which a reduction in the amount of Periodic Payments on the Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan, as applicable, or a change in any other material economic term of the Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan, as applicable (other than an extension of its maturity), becomes effective as a result of a modification of the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan, as applicable, by the special servicer;

 

(3)       30 days after the date on which a receiver has been appointed for the Mortgaged Property;

 

 476

 

 

(4)       30 days after the date on which a borrower or the tenant at a single tenant property declares bankruptcy (and the bankruptcy petition is not otherwise dismissed within such time);

 

(5)       60 days after the date on which an involuntary petition of bankruptcy is filed with respect to the borrower if not dismissed within such time;

 

(6)       90 days after an uncured delinquency occurs in respect of a balloon payment with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan, except where a refinancing is anticipated within 120 days after the maturity date of the Mortgage Loan and related Companion Loan in which case 120 days after such uncured delinquency; and

 

(7)       immediately after a Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan becomes an REO Loan;

 

provided, however, that the 30-day period referenced in clauses (3) and (4) above will not apply if the related Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan.

 

No Appraisal Reduction Event may occur at any time when the Certificate Balances of all classes of Subordinate Certificates have been reduced to zero.

 

The “Appraisal Reduction Amount” for any Distribution Date and for any Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), Serviced Companion Loan or Serviced Whole Loan as to which any Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred, will be an amount, calculated by the special servicer (and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, in consultation with the Directing Certificateholder and, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, in consultation with the Directing Certificateholder (except with respect to any such Excluded Loan) and the operating advisor and, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, in consultation with the operating advisor), as of the first Determination Date that is at least 10 business days following the later of (i) the date on which the special servicer receives an appraisal (together with information requested by the special servicer from the master servicer in accordance with the PSA) or conducts a valuation described below and (ii) the occurrence of such Appraisal Reduction Event, equal to the excess of

 

(a)       the Stated Principal Balance of that Mortgage Loan or the Stated Principal Balance of the applicable Serviced Whole Loan, as the case may be, over

 

(b)       the excess of

 

1.   the sum of

 

a)90% of the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property as determined (A) by one or more MAI appraisals obtained by the special servicer with respect to that Mortgage Loan (together with any other Mortgage Loan cross-collateralized with such Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Whole Loan with an outstanding principal balance equal to or in excess of $2,000,000 (the costs of which will be paid by the master servicer as an Advance), or (B) by an internal valuation performed by the special servicer (or at the special servicer’s election, by one or more MAI appraisals obtained by the special servicer) with respect to any Mortgage Loan (together with any other Mortgage Loan cross-collateralized with such Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Whole Loan with an outstanding principal balance less than $2,000,000, minus with respect to any MAI appraisals such downward adjustments as the special servicer may make (without implying any

 

 477

 

 

obligation to do so) based upon its review of the appraisals and any other information it deems relevant; and

 

b)all escrows, letters of credit and reserves in respect of that Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan as of the date of calculation; over

 

2.   the sum as of the Due Date occurring in the month of the date of determination of

 

a)to the extent not previously advanced by the master servicer or the trustee, all unpaid interest due on that Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan at a per annum rate equal to the Mortgage Rate,

 

b)all P&I Advances on the related Mortgage Loan and all Servicing Advances on the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan not reimbursed from the proceeds of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan and interest on those Advances at the Reimbursement Rate in respect of that Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, and

 

c)all currently due and unpaid real estate taxes and assessments, insurance premiums and ground rents, unpaid Special Servicing Fees and all other amounts due and unpaid (including any capitalized interest whether or not then due and payable) with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan (which taxes, premiums, ground rents and other amounts have not been the subject of an Advance by the master servicer, the special servicer or the trustee, as applicable).

 

Each Serviced Whole Loan will be treated as a single mortgage loan for purposes of calculating an Appraisal Reduction Amount with respect to the Mortgage Loan and Companion Loans, as applicable, that comprise such Serviced Whole Loan. Any Appraisal Reduction Amount in respect of a Serviced Whole Loan will be allocated, first, to any related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan (until its principal balance is notionally reduced to zero by such related Appraisal Reduction Amounts) and second, pro rata, to the related Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loans based upon their respective outstanding principal balances.

 

The special servicer will be required to use reasonable efforts to order an appraisal or conduct a valuation promptly upon the occurrence of an Appraisal Reduction Event (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Whole Loan). On the first Determination Date occurring on or after the tenth business day following the later of (a) receipt of the MAI appraisal or the completion of the valuation and (b) the occurrence of such Appraisal Reduction Event, the special servicer will be required to calculate and report to the master servicer, the trustee, the certificate administrator, the operating advisor and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder, the Appraisal Reduction Amount, taking into account the results of such appraisal or valuation and receipt of information requested by the special servicer from the master servicer reasonably necessary to calculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount.

 

Following the master servicer’s receipt from the special servicer of the calculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amounts, the master servicer will be required to provide such information to the certificate administrator in the form of the CREFC® loan periodic update file.

 

Each such report of the Appraisal Reduction Amount will also be forwarded by the master servicer (or the special servicer if the related Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced

Loan), to the extent the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan has been included in a securitization transaction, to the master servicer of such securitization into which the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan has been sold, or to the holder of any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan by the master servicer (or the special servicer if the related Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan).

 

In the event that the special servicer has not received any required MAI appraisal within 60 days after the Appraisal Reduction Event (or, in the case of an appraisal in connection with an Appraisal Reduction Event described in clauses (1) and (6) of the definition of Appraisal Reduction Event above, within 120 days (in the case of clause (1)) or 90 or 120 days (in the case of clause (6)), respectively, after the initial delinquency for the related Appraisal Reduction Event), the Appraisal Reduction Amount will be deemed to be an amount equal to 25% of the current Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole Loan) until an MAI appraisal or valuation is received (together with information requested by the special servicer from the master servicer in accordance with the PSA) or performed by the special servicer and the Appraisal Reduction Amount is calculated by the special servicer as of the first Determination Date that is at least 10 business days after the later of (a) the special servicer’s receipt of such MAI appraisal or the completion of the valuation and (b) the occurrence of such Appraisal Reduction Event. The master servicer will provide (via electronic delivery) the special servicer with any information in its possession that is reasonably required to determine, redetermine, calculate or recalculate any Appraisal Reduction Amount pursuant to its definition using reasonable efforts to deliver such information within four business days of the special servicer’s reasonable request; provided that the special servicer’s failure to timely make such a request will not relieve the master servicer of its obligation to use reasonable efforts to provide such information to the special servicer within 4 business days following the special servicer’s reasonable request. The master servicer will not calculate Appraisal Reduction Amounts.

 

With respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any Serviced Whole Loan as to which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred (unless the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan has remained current for 3 consecutive Periodic Payments, and with respect to which no other Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred with respect to that Mortgage Loan during the preceding 3 months (for such purposes taking into account any amendment or modification of such Mortgage Loan, any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan or Serviced Whole Loan)), the special servicer is required (i) within 30 days of each anniversary of the related Appraisal Reduction Event and (ii) upon its determination that the value of the related Mortgaged Property has materially changed, to notify the master servicer of the occurrence of such anniversary or determination and to order an appraisal (which may be an update of a prior appraisal), the cost of which will be paid by the master servicer as a Servicing Advance (or to the extent it would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, an expense of the issuing entity paid out of the Collection Account), or to conduct an internal valuation, as applicable. Based upon the appraisal or valuation and receipt of information reasonably requested by the special servicer from the master servicer necessary to calculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount, the special servicer is required to determine or redetermine, as applicable, and report to the master servicer, the trustee, the certificate administrator, the operating advisor and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event and other than with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is an Excluded Loan, to the Directing Certificateholder, the amount and calculation or recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount with respect to the Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable. Such report will also be forwarded to the holder of any related Companion Loan by the master servicer (or the special servicer if the related Mortgage Loan is a Specially 

 

 479

 

 

Serviced Loan). Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event (and unless the related Mortgage Loan is an Excluded Loan), the special servicer will consult with the Directing Certificateholder with respect to any appraisal, valuation or downward adjustment in connection with an Appraisal Reduction Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the special servicer will not be required to obtain an appraisal or valuation with respect to a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan that is the subject of an Appraisal Reduction Event to the extent the special servicer has obtained an appraisal or valuation with respect to the related Mortgaged Property within the 12-month period prior to the occurrence of the Appraisal Reduction Event. Instead, the special servicer may use the prior appraisal or valuation in calculating any Appraisal Reduction Amount with respect to the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, provided that the special servicer is not aware of any material change to the Mortgaged Property that has occurred that would affect the validity of the appraisal or valuation.

 

Each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is subject to provisions in the related Non-Serviced PSA relating to appraisal reductions that are similar, but not necessarily identical, to the provisions described above. The existence of an appraisal reduction under a Non-Serviced PSA in respect of the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan will proportionately reduce the master servicer’s or the trustee’s, as the case may be, obligation to make P&I Advances on the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and will generally have the effect of reducing the amount otherwise available for distributions to the Certificateholders. Pursuant to such Non-Serviced PSA, the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan will be treated, together with each related Non-Serviced Companion Loan, as a single mortgage loan for purposes of calculating an appraisal reduction amount with respect to the loans that comprise a Non-Serviced Whole Loan. Any appraisal reduction calculated with respect to a Non-Serviced Whole Loan will generally be allocated to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan, on a pro rata basis based upon their respective Stated Principal Balances (although, in the case of the Burbank Office Portfolio Whole Loan and the 237 Park Avenue Whole Loan, any calculation of an Appraisal Reduction Amount will first be allocated to the related Subordinate Companion Loans). Any appraisal reduction amount determined under such Non-Serviced PSA and allocable to such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan pursuant to the related intercreditor agreement will constitute an “Appraisal Reduction Amount” under the terms of the PSA with respect to the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan.

 

If any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or any Serviced Whole Loan previously subject to an Appraisal Reduction Amount becomes a Corrected Loan, and no other Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred and is continuing with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, the Appraisal Reduction Amount and the related Appraisal Reduction Event will cease to exist.

 

As a result of calculating one or more Appraisal Reduction Amounts (and, in the case of any Whole Loan, to the extent allocated in the related Mortgage Loan), the amount of any required P&I Advance will be reduced, which will have the effect of reducing the allocable amount of interest available to the most subordinate class of certificates then-outstanding (i.e., first, to Class NR-RR certificates, second, to the Class G-RR certificates, third, to the Class F-RR certificates, fourth, to the Class E-RR certificates, fifth, to the Class D-RR certificates, sixth, to the Class D certificates, seventh, to the Class C certificates, eighth, to the Class C certificates, ninth, to the Class B certificates, tenth, to the Class A-S, and finally, pro rata based on their respective interest entitlements, to the Senior Certificates). See “—Advances”.

 

As of the first Determination Date following a Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) becoming an AB Modified Loan, the special servicer will be required to

 

 480

 

 

calculate whether a Collateral Deficiency Amount exists with respect to such AB Modified Loan, taking into account the most recent appraisal obtained by the special servicer with respect to such Mortgage Loan, and all other information relevant to a Collateral Deficiency Amount determination. The master servicer will be required to provide (via electronic delivery) the special servicer with any information in its possession that is reasonably required to determine, redetermine, calculate or recalculate any Collateral Deficiency Amount for any Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan using reasonable efforts to deliver such information within 4 business days of the special servicer’s reasonable request. Upon obtaining knowledge or receipt of notice by the master servicer that a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan has become an AB Modified Loan, the master servicer will be required to (i) promptly request from the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer, Non-Serviced Special Servicer and Non-Serviced Trustee the most recent appraisal with respect to such AB Modified Loan, in addition to all other information reasonably required by the master servicer to calculate whether a Collateral Deficiency Amount exists with respect to such AB Modified Loan, and (ii) as of the first Determination Date following receipt by the master servicer of the appraisal and any other information set forth in the immediately preceding clause (i) that the master servicer reasonably expects to receive, calculate whether a Collateral Deficiency Amount exists with respect to such AB Modified Loan, taking into account the most recent appraisal obtained by the Non-Serviced Special Servicer with respect to such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, and all other information in its possession relevant to a Collateral Deficiency Amount determination. Upon obtaining actual knowledge or receipt of notice by any other party to the PSA that a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan has become an AB Modified Loan, such party will be required to promptly notify the master servicer thereof. None of the master servicer (with respect to Mortgage Loans other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), the special servicer (with respect to Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans), the trustee, the operating advisor or the certificate administrator will calculate or verify any Collateral Deficiency Amount.

 

A “Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amount“ as of any date of determination for any Mortgage Loan, is equal to the sum of (i) all Appraisal Reduction Amounts then in effect, and (ii) with respect to any AB Modified Loan, any Collateral Deficiency Amount then in effect. The master servicer and the certificate administrator will be entitled to conclusively rely on the special servicer’s calculation or determination of any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amount with respect to a Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan). With respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the special servicer and the certificate administrator will be entitled to conclusively rely on the applicable Non-Serviced Special Servicer’s calculation of any Appraisal Reduction Amount with respect to such Mortgage Loan and on the master servicer’s calculation or determination of any Collateral Deficiency Amount with respect to such Mortgage Loan.

 

AB Modified Loan“ means any Corrected Loan (1) that became a Corrected Loan (which includes for purposes of this definition any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan that became a “corrected loan” (or any term substantially similar thereto) pursuant to the related Non-Serviced PSA) due to a modification thereto that resulted in the creation of an A/B note structure (or similar structure) and as to which the new junior note(s) did not previously exist or the principal amount of the new junior note(s) was previously part of either an A note held by the issuing entity or the original unmodified Mortgage Loan and (2) as to which an Appraisal Reduction Amount is not in effect.

 

Collateral Deficiency Amount“ means, with respect to any AB Modified Loan as of any date of determination, the excess of (i) the Stated Principal Balance of such AB Modified Loan (taking into account the related junior note(s) and any pari passu notes included

 

 481

 

 

therein), over (ii) the sum of (in the case of a Whole Loan, solely to the extent allocable to the subject Mortgage Loan) (x) the most recent appraised value for the related Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties, plus (y) solely to the extent not reflected or taken into account in such appraised value (or in the calculation of any related Appraisal Reduction Amount) and to the extent on deposit with, or otherwise under the control of, the lender as of the date of such determination, any capital or additional collateral contributed by the related borrower at the time the Mortgage Loan became (and as part of the modification related to) such AB Modified Loan for the benefit of the related Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties (provided that in the case of an Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the amounts set forth in this clause (y) will be taken into account solely to the extent relevant information is received by the master servicer), plus (z) any other escrows or reserves (in addition to any amounts set forth in the immediately preceding clause (y) and solely to the extent not reflected or taken into account in the calculation of any related Appraisal Reduction Amount) held by the lender in respect of such AB Modified Loan as of the date of such determination, which such excess, for the avoidance of doubt, will be determined separately from and exclude any related Appraisal Reduction Amounts. The master servicer and the certificate administrator will be entitled to conclusively rely on the special servicer’s calculation or determination of any Collateral Deficiency Amount (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan). The special servicer and the operating advisor will be entitled to conclusively rely on the master servicer’s calculation of any Collateral Deficiency Amount with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan.

 

For purposes of determining the Controlling Class, the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and the occurrence and continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, Appraisal Reduction Amounts allocated to a related Mortgage Loan will be allocated to each class of Principal Balance Certificates in reverse sequential order to notionally reduce the Certificate Balance thereof until the related Certificate Balance of each such class is reduced to zero (i.e., first, to the Class NR-RR certificates, second, to the Class G-RR certificates, third, to the Class F-RR certificates, fourth, to the Class E-RR certificates, fifth, to the Class D-RR certificates, sixth, to the Class D certificates, seventh, to the Class C certificates, eighth, to the Class B certificates and finally, to the Class A-S certificates). In addition, for purposes of determining the Controlling Class and the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, Collateral Deficiency Amounts allocated to a related AB Modified Loan will be allocated to each class of Control Eligible Certificates in reverse sequential order to notionally reduce the Certificate Balance thereof until the related Certificate Balance of each such class is reduced to zero (i.e., first, to the Class NR-RR certificates, second, to the Class G-RR certificates, third, to the Class F-RR certificates, fourth, to the Class E-RR certificates, and fifth, to the Class D-RR certificates). For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of determining the Controlling Class and the occurrence of a Control Termination Event or Operating Advisor Consultation Event, any Class of Control Eligible Certificates will be allocated both applicable Appraisal Reduction Amounts and applicable Collateral Deficiency Amounts (the sum of which will constitute the applicable “Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amount”), as described in this paragraph.

 

With respect to any Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount calculated for purposes of determining the Controlling Class and the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property will be determined on an “as-is” basis. The special servicer (in the case of a Mortgage Loan other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or the master servicer (in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) will be required to promptly notify the master servicer or the special servicer, as the case may be, and the master servicer will be required to notify the certificate administrator of (i) any Appraisal Reduction Amount, (ii) any Collateral Deficiency Amount, and (iii) any resulting Cumulative Appraisal Reduction

 

 482

 

 

Amount, and the certificate administrator will be required to promptly post notice of such Appraisal Reduction Amount, Collateral Deficiency Amount and/or Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amount, as applicable, to the certificate administrator’s website.

 

Any class of Control Eligible Certificates, the Certificate Balance of which (taking into account the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts or Collateral Deficiency Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balance of such class) has been reduced to less than 25% of its initial Certificate Balance, is referred to as an “Appraised-Out Class”. Any Appraised-Out Class will no longer be the Controlling Class; provided, however, that if at any time, the Certificate Balances of the certificates other than the Control Eligible Certificates have been reduced to zero as a result of principal payments on the Mortgage Loans, then the Controlling Class will be the most subordinate class of Control Eligible Certificates that has an aggregate Certificate Balance greater than zero without regard to any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts. The holder of the majority (by Certificate Balance) of an Appraised-Out Class will have the right, at their sole expense, to require the special servicer to order (or, with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, require the master servicer to request from the applicable Non-Serviced Special Servicer) a second appraisal of any Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole Loan) for which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred or as to which there exists a Collateral Deficiency Amount (such holders, the “Requesting Holders”). The special servicer will use its reasonable efforts to cause such appraisal to be (i) delivered within 30 days from receipt of the Requesting Holders’ written request and (ii) prepared on an “as-is” basis by an MAI appraiser. With respect to any such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the master servicer will be required to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such second appraisal from the applicable Non-Serviced Special Servicer and to forward such second appraisal to the special servicer. Upon receipt of such supplemental appraisal, the master servicer (for Collateral Deficiency Amounts on Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans), the Non-Serviced Special Servicer (for Appraisal Reduction Amounts on Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans to extent provided for in the applicable Non-Serviced PSA and applicable Intercreditor Agreement) and the special servicer (for any Mortgage Loan other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) will be required to determine, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, whether, based on its assessment of such supplemental appraisal, any recalculation of the applicable Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount, as applicable, is warranted and, if so warranted, such person will be required to recalculate such Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount, as applicable, based upon such supplemental appraisal and (for any Mortgage Loan other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) receipt of information requested by the special servicer from the master servicer as described above. If required by any such recalculation, the applicable Appraised-Out Class will be reinstated as the Controlling Class and each Appraised-Out Class will, if applicable, have its related Certificate Balance notionally restored to the extent required by such recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount or Collateral Deficiency Amount, if applicable. The certificate administrator, the operating advisor and the special servicer will be entitled to conclusively rely on the master servicer’s calculation or determination of any Collateral Deficiency Amount with respect to Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans.

 

Any Appraised-Out Class may not exercise any direction, control, consent and/or similar rights of the Controlling Class until such time, if any, as such class is reinstated as the Controlling Class; the rights of the Controlling Class will be exercised by the next most senior class of Control Eligible Certificates that is not an Appraised-Out Class, if any, during such period.

 

With respect to each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the related Non-Serviced Directing Certificateholder will or is expected to be subject to provisions similar to those described

 

 483

 

 

above. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loans”, “—The Non-Serviced AB Whole Loans” and “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans”.

 

With respect to a Serviced AB Whole Loan, the holder of the related Subordinate Companion Loan may in certain circumstances post collateral to avoid a change of control as described in “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Serviced AB Whole Loans—Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Whole Loan” and “—Centre 425 Bellevue Whole Loan”.

 

Maintenance of Insurance

 

To the extent permitted by the related Mortgage Loan and required by the Servicing Standard, the master servicer (with respect to the Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Companion Loan, but excluding any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) will be required to use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause each borrower to maintain, and the special servicer (with respect to REO Properties other than a Mortgaged Property securing a Non-Serviced Whole Loan and subject to the conditions set forth in the following sentence) will maintain, for the related Mortgaged Property all insurance coverage required by the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents; provided, however, that the master servicer (with respect to Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Companion Loan) will not be required to cause the borrower to maintain and the special servicer (with respect to REO Properties) will not be required to maintain terrorism insurance to the extent that the failure of the related borrower to do so is an Acceptable Insurance Default (as defined below) or if the trustee does not have an insurable interest. Insurance coverage is required to be in the amounts (which, in the case of casualty insurance, is generally equal to the lesser of the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan and the replacement cost of the related Mortgaged Property), and from an insurer meeting the requirements, set forth in the related Mortgage Loan documents. If the borrower does not maintain such coverage, the master servicer (with respect to such Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Companion Loan) or the special servicer (with respect to REO Properties other than a Mortgaged Property securing a Non-Serviced Whole Loan), as the case may be, will be required to maintain such coverage to the extent such coverage is available at commercially reasonable rates and the trustee has an insurable interest, as determined by the master servicer (with respect to the Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Companion Loan) or the special servicer (with respect to REO Properties other than a Mortgaged Property securing a Non-Serviced Whole Loan), as applicable, in accordance with the Servicing Standard; provided that if any Mortgage Loan documents permit the holder thereof to dictate to the borrower the insurance coverage to be maintained on such Mortgaged Property, the master servicer or, with respect to REO Property, the special servicer will impose or maintain such insurance requirements as are consistent with the Servicing Standard taking into account the insurance in place at the origination of the Mortgage Loan; provided, further, that with respect to the immediately preceding proviso the master servicer will be obligated to use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the borrower to maintain (or to itself maintain) insurance against property damage resulting from terrorist or similar acts unless the borrower’s failure is an Acceptable Insurance Default as determined by the master servicer with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder (unless a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and other than with respect to any Excluded Loan) or, with respect to a Serviced AB Whole Loan, the holder of the related Subordinate Companion Loan prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Appraisal Period. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Certain Terms of the Mortgage Loans” and “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Terrorism Insurance May Not Be Available for All Mortgaged Properties”.

 

 484

 

 

Notwithstanding any contrary provision above, the master servicer will not be required to maintain, and will not be in default for failing to obtain, any earthquake or environmental insurance on any Mortgaged Property unless (other than with respect to a Mortgaged Property securing a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) such insurance was required at the time of origination of the related Mortgage Loan, the trustee has an insurable interest and such insurance is currently available at commercially reasonable rates. In addition, the master servicer and special servicer will be entitled to rely on insurance consultants (at the applicable servicer’s expense) in determining whether any insurance is available at commercially reasonable rates. After the master servicer determines that a Mortgaged Property (other than a Mortgaged Property securing a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) is located in an area identified as a federally designated special flood hazard area (and flood insurance has been made available), the master servicer will be required to use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard (1) to cause the borrower to maintain (to the extent required by the related Mortgage Loan documents), and (2) if the borrower does not so maintain, to itself maintain to the extent the trustee, as mortgagee, has an insurable interest in the Mortgaged Property and such insurance is available at commercially reasonable rates (as determined by the master servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard but only to the extent that the related Mortgage Loan permits the lender to require the coverage) a flood insurance policy in an amount representing coverage not less than the lesser of (x) the outstanding principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan (and any related Serviced Companion Loan) and (y) the maximum amount of insurance which is available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, plus such additional excess flood coverage with respect to the Mortgaged Property, if any, in an amount consistent with the Servicing Standard.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Serviced Companion Loan that either (x) require the borrower to maintain “all-risk” property insurance (and do not expressly permit an exclusion for terrorism) or (y) contain provisions generally requiring the applicable borrower to maintain insurance in types and against such risks as the holder of such Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan reasonably requires from time to time in order to protect its interests, the master servicer will be required to, consistent with the Servicing Standard, (A) monitor in accordance with the Servicing Standard whether the insurance policies for the related Mortgaged Property contain exclusions in addition to those customarily found in insurance policies for mortgaged properties similar to the Mortgaged Properties on or prior to September 11, 2001 (“Additional Exclusions”) (provided that the master servicer and the special servicer will be entitled to conclusively rely upon certificates of insurance in determining whether such policies contain Additional Exclusions), (B) request the borrower to either purchase insurance against the risks specified in the Additional Exclusions or provide an explanation as to its reasons for failing to purchase such insurance, and (C) if the related Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan, notify the special servicer if it has knowledge that any insurance policy contains Additional Exclusions or if it has knowledge that any borrower fails to purchase the insurance requested to be purchased by the master servicer pursuant to clause (B) above. If the master servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such failure is not an Acceptable Insurance Default, the master servicer will be required to notify the special servicer and the master servicer will be required to use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause such insurance to be maintained. If the master servicer determines that such failure is an Acceptable Insurance Default, it will be required to promptly deliver such conclusions in writing to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s website for those Mortgage Loans that (i) have one of the 10 highest outstanding principal balances of the Mortgage Loans

 

 485

 

 

then included in the issuing entity or (ii) comprise more than 5% of the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loans then included in the issuing entity.

 

Acceptable Insurance Default” means, with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Whole Loan, a default under the related Mortgage Loan documents arising by reason of (i) any failure on the part of the related borrower to maintain with respect to the related Mortgaged Property specific insurance coverage with respect to, or an all-risk casualty insurance policy that does not specifically exclude, terrorist or similar acts, and/or (ii) any failure on the part of the related borrower to maintain with respect to the related Mortgaged Property insurance coverage with respect to damages or casualties caused by terrorist or similar acts upon terms not materially less favorable than those in place as of the Closing Date, in each case, as to which default the master servicer and the special servicer may forbear taking any enforcement action; provided that, subject to the consent or consultation rights of the Directing Certificateholder or the holder of any Companion Loan as described under “—The Directing Certificateholder—Major Decisions” and “—Modifications, Waivers and Amendments”, the master servicer has determined in its reasonable judgment based on inquiry consistent with the Servicing Standard that either (a) such insurance is not available at commercially reasonable rates and that such hazards are not at the time commonly insured against for properties similar to the related Mortgaged Property and located in or around the region in which such related Mortgaged Property is located, or (b) such insurance is not available at any rate.

 

During the period that the master servicer is evaluating the availability of such insurance, or waiting for a response from the Directing Certificateholder (or, with respect to a Serviced AB Whole Loan, the holder of the related Subordinate Companion Loan), neither the master servicer nor the special servicer will be liable for any loss related to its failure to require the borrower to maintain (or its failure to maintain) such insurance and neither will be in default of its obligations as a result of such failure.

 

The special servicer will be required to maintain (or cause to be maintained) fire and hazard insurance on each REO Property (other than any REO Property with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) for which it is acting as special servicer, to the extent obtainable at commercially reasonable rates and the trustee has an insurable interest, in an amount that is at least equal to the lesser of (1) the full replacement cost of the improvements on the REO Property, and (2) the outstanding principal balance owing on the related Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan or REO Loan, as applicable, and in any event, the amount necessary to avoid the operation of any co-insurance provisions. In addition, if the REO Property is located in an area identified as a federally designated special flood hazard area, the special servicer will be required to cause to be maintained, to the extent available at commercially reasonable rates (as determined by the special servicer (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder (other than with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is an Excluded Loan and any Serviced AB Whole Loan prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Appraisal Period)) in accordance with the Servicing Standard), a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration in an amount representing coverage not less than the maximum amount of insurance that is available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, plus such additional excess flood insurance with respect to the Mortgaged Property, if any, in an amount consistent with the Servicing Standard.

 

The PSA provides that the master servicer may satisfy its obligation to cause each borrower to maintain a hazard insurance policy and the master servicer or special servicer may satisfy its obligation to maintain hazard insurance by maintaining a blanket or master single interest or force-placed policy insuring against hazard losses on the Mortgage Loans

 

 486

 

 

and related Serviced Companion Loan and REO Properties (other than a Mortgaged Property securing a Non-Serviced Whole Loan), as applicable. Any losses incurred with respect to Mortgage Loans (and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) or REO Properties due to uninsured risks (including earthquakes, mudflows and floods) or insufficient hazard insurance proceeds may adversely affect payments to Certificateholders. Any cost incurred by the master servicer or special servicer in maintaining a hazard insurance policy, if the borrower defaults on its obligation to do so, will be advanced by the master servicer as a Servicing Advance and will be charged to the related borrower. Generally, no borrower is required by the Mortgage Loan documents to maintain earthquake insurance on any Mortgaged Property and the special servicer will not be required to maintain earthquake insurance on any REO Properties. Any cost of maintaining that kind of required insurance or other earthquake insurance obtained by the special servicer will be paid out of the REO Account or advanced by the master servicer as a Servicing Advance.

 

The costs of the insurance may be recovered by the master servicer or the trustee, as the case may be, from reimbursements received from the borrower or, if the borrower does not pay those amounts, as a Servicing Advance as set forth in the PSA. All costs and expenses incurred by the special servicer in maintaining the insurance described above on REO Properties will be paid out of the related REO Account or, if the amount in such account is insufficient, such costs and expenses will be advanced by the master servicer to the special servicer as a Servicing Advance to the extent that such Servicing Advance is not determined to be a Nonrecoverable Advance.

 

No pool insurance policy, special hazard insurance policy, bankruptcy bond, repurchase bond or certificate guarantee insurance will be maintained with respect to the Mortgage Loans, nor will any Mortgage Loan be subject to FHA insurance.

 

Modifications, Waivers and Amendments

 

Subject to the immediately succeeding paragraph, (i) the special servicer will be responsible for processing waivers, modifications, amendments and consents with respect to (a) any Specially Serviced Loan and (b) any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Whole Loan with respect to which the matter involves a Special Servicer Non-Major Decision (other than the items listed in clauses (i), (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (iv) of “Special Servicer Non-Major Decision”, which the master servicer will process with respect to non-Specially Serviced Loans, subject to special servicer consent or deemed consent as provided in the PSA) or a Special Servicer Major Decision, and (ii) the master servicer will be responsible for processing waivers, modifications, amendments and consents with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Whole Loan that is not a Specially Serviced Loan and does not involve a Special Servicer Major Decision or Special Servicer Non-Major Decision (other than the items listed in clauses (i), (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (iv) of “Special Servicer Non-Major Decision”, which the master servicer will process, subject to special servicer consent or deemed consent as provided in the PSA); provided that, except as otherwise set forth in this paragraph, neither the special servicer nor the master servicer may waive, modify or amend (or consent to waive, modify or amend) any provision of a Mortgage Loan and Serviced Companion Loan that is not in default or as to which default is not reasonably foreseeable except for (1) the waiver of any due-on-sale clause or due-on-encumbrance clause to the extent permitted in the PSA, and (2) any waiver, modification or amendment more than three months after the Closing Date that would not be a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan and/or Serviced Companion Loan within the meaning of Treasury regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) or otherwise cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in the imposition of a tax upon any Trust REMIC or the issuing entity. Subject to the immediately succeeding

paragraph, the master servicer will not be permitted under the PSA to agree to any modifications, waivers and amendments that constitute Special Servicer Major Decisions without the consent of the special servicer (which consent may be deemed received by the master servicer if the special servicer does not respond within 10 business days of delivery to the special servicer of the analysis and all information in the master servicer’s possession that is reasonably requested by the special servicer in order to grant or withhold such consent, plus, if applicable, any time provided to the Directing Certificateholder or other relevant party under the PSA and, if applicable, any time period provided to a holder of a Companion Loan under a related Intercreditor Agreement) (or, with respect to a Serviced AB Whole Loan prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Appraisal Period, the prior written consent of the holder of the related Subordinate Companion Loan, to the extent required by the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement), except certain non-material consents and waivers described in the PSA and as permitted under the Mortgage Loan documents.

 

With respect to non-Specially Serviced Loans, the master servicer, prior to taking any action with respect to any Special Servicer Major Decision (or making a determination not to take action with respect to a Special Servicer Major Decision) and prior to taking any action with respect to any Special Servicer Non-Major Decision (other than the items listed in clauses (i), (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (iv) of “Special Servicer Non-Major Decision”) (or making a determination not to take action with respect to the Special Servicer Non-Major Decision (other than the items listed in clauses (i), (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (iv) of “Special Servicer Non-Major Decision”)), will be required to refer any request with respect to such Special Servicer Major Decision or Special Servicer Non-Major Decision to the special servicer, which will process the request directly, or if mutually agreed to by the special servicer and the master servicer, the master servicer will be required to process such request, and if the master servicer processes such request and is recommending approval of such request, the master servicer will be required to prepare and submit its written analysis and recommendation to the special servicer with all information in the possession of the master servicer that the special servicer may reasonably request in order to withhold or grant its consent, and in all cases the special servicer will be entitled (subject to the discussion under “—The Directing Certificateholder” below) to approve or disapprove any modification, waiver, amendment or other action that constitutes a Special Servicer Major Decision or a Special Servicer Non-Major Decision. In addition, the master servicer will be required to provide the special servicer with any notice that it receives relating to a default by the borrower under a ground lease where all or any portion of the collateral for the Mortgage Loan is the ground lease, and the special servicer will determine (subject to the discussion under “—The Directing Certificateholder” below) in accordance with the Servicing Standard whether the Special Servicer, on behalf of the issuing entity as lender, should cure any borrower defaults relating to ground leases. Any costs relating to any such cure of a borrower default relating to a ground lease shall be paid by the master servicer as a Servicing Advance.

 

If, and only if, the special servicer determines that a modification, waiver or amendment (including the forgiveness or deferral of interest or principal or the substitution or release of collateral or the pledge of additional collateral) of the terms of a Specially Serviced Loan with respect to which a payment default or other material default has occurred or a payment default or other material default is, in the special servicer’s judgment, reasonably foreseeable, is reasonably likely to produce a greater (or equivalent) recovery on a net present value basis (the relevant discounting to be performed at the related Mortgage Rate) to the issuing entity and, if applicable, the holders of any applicable Companion Loan, than liquidation of such Specially Serviced Loan, then the special servicer may, but is not required to, agree to a modification, waiver or amendment of the Specially Serviced Loan, subject to (w) the restrictions and limitations described below, (x) with respect to any Major

Decision, other than with respect to any Excluded Loan, the approval of the Directing Certificateholder (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event or after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, upon consultation with the Directing Certificateholder) as provided in the PSA and described in this prospectus, (y) with respect to a Serviced AB Whole Loan, subject to any rights of the related holder of the Subordinate Companion Loan to consent to such modification, waiver or amendment and (z) with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, the rights of the holder of the related Companion Loan, as applicable, to advise or consult with the special servicer with respect to, or consent to, such modification, waiver or amendment, in each case, pursuant to the terms of the related intercreditor agreement and, with respect to a Mortgage Loan that has mezzanine debt, the rights of the mezzanine lender to consent to such modification, waiver or amendment, in each case, pursuant to the terms of the related intercreditor agreement.

 

In connection with (i) the release of a Mortgaged Property (other than a Mortgaged Property securing a Non-Serviced Whole Loan) or any portion of such a Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage or (ii) the taking of a Mortgaged Property (other than a Mortgaged Property securing a Non-Serviced Whole Loan) or any portion of such a Mortgaged Property by exercise of the power of eminent domain or condemnation, if the related Mortgage Loan documents require the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, to calculate (or to approve the calculation of the related borrower of) the loan-to-value ratio of the remaining Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties or the fair market value of the real property constituting the remaining Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties, for purposes of REMIC qualification of the related Mortgage Loan, then such calculation will, unless then permitted by the REMIC provisions, exclude the value of personal property and going concern value, if any, as determined by an appropriate third party.

 

The special servicer is required to use its reasonable efforts to the extent reasonably possible to fully amortize a modified Mortgage Loan prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date. The special servicer may not agree to a modification, waiver or amendment if that modification, waiver or amendment would:

 

(1)     extend the maturity date of the Specially Serviced Loan to a date occurring later than the earlier of (A) 5 years prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date and (B) if the Specially Serviced Loan is secured solely or primarily by a leasehold estate and not the related fee interest, the date occurring 20 years or, to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard giving due consideration to the remaining term of the ground lease and, other than with respect to any Excluded Loan prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder, 10 years, prior to the end of the current term of the ground lease, plus any options to extend exercisable unilaterally by the borrower; or

 

(2)     provide for the deferral of interest unless interest accrues on the Mortgage Loan or any Serviced Whole Loan, generally, at the related Mortgage Rate.

 

If the special servicer agrees to any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Whole Loan) or related Companion Loan, the special servicer will be required to notify the master servicer, the holder of any related Serviced Companion Loan (or, to the extent the related Serviced Companion Loan has been included in a securitization transaction, to the master servicer of such securitization transaction), the related mortgage loan seller (so long as such mortgage loan seller is not the master servicer or sub-servicer of such Mortgage Loan, the Directing Certificateholder), the operating advisor (after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating

Advisor Consultation Event), the certificate administrator, the trustee, the Directing Certificateholder (other than with respect to any Excluded Loan, and unless a Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing) and the 17g-5 Information Provider, who will thereafter post any such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s website. If the master servicer agrees to any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any such Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan, the master servicer will be required to notify the certificate administrator, the trustee, the special servicer (and the special servicer will forward such notice to the Directing Certificateholder (other than with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is an Excluded Loan, and unless a Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing)), the related mortgage loan seller (so long as such mortgage loan seller is not the master servicer or sub-servicer of such Mortgage Loan, the Directing Certificateholder), the holder of any related Serviced Companion Loan (or, to the extent the related Serviced Companion Loan has been included in a securitization transaction, the master servicer of such securitization transaction) and the 17g-5 Information Provider, who will be required to thereafter post any such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s website. The party providing notice will be required to deliver to the custodian for deposit in the related Mortgage File, an original counterpart of the agreement related to the modification, waiver or amendment, promptly following the execution of that agreement, and if required, a copy to the master servicer and to the holder of any related Serviced Companion Loan (or, to the extent the related Serviced Companion Loan has been included in a securitization transaction, to the master servicer of such securitization transaction), all as set forth in the PSA. Copies of each agreement whereby the modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan is effected are required to be available for review during normal business hours at the offices of the custodian. See “Description of the Certificates—Reports to Certificateholders; Certain Available Information”.

 

In addition, with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan, so long as no Control Appraisal Period under the related Intercreditor Agreement has occurred and is continuing, no modification, waiver or amendment of the related Whole Loan that would be a “major decision” (or analogous term) under the related Intercreditor Agreement may be made without the consent of the holder of the related Control Note, which must be obtained by the master servicer or the special servicer, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Serviced AB Whole Loans—Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Whole Loan—Consultation and Control” and “—Centre 425 Bellevue Whole Loan—Consultation and Control”.

 

The modification, waiver or amendment of a Serviced Whole Loan or a Mortgage Loan that has a related mezzanine loan will be subject to certain limitations set forth in the related intercreditor agreement. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Other Financings or Ability to Incur Other Indebtedness Entails Risk”.

 

Special Servicer Non-Major Decision” means each of the following to the extent such actions do not constitute Major Decisions:

 

(i)   approving any waiver regarding the receipt of financial statements (other than immaterial timing waivers);

 

(ii)  agreeing to any modification, waiver, consent or amendment of the related Mortgage Loan in connection with a defeasance if such proposed modification, waiver, consent or amendment is with respect to (A) a waiver of a mortgage loan event of default (but excluding non-monetary events of default other than defaults relating to transfers of interests in the borrower or the existing collateral or material modifications of the existing collateral), (B) a

 

 490

 

 

modification of the type of defeasance collateral required under the related Mortgage Loan documents such that defeasance collateral other than direct, non-callable obligations of the United States of America would be permitted, or (C) a modification that would permit a principal prepayment instead of defeasance if the related Mortgage Loan documents do not otherwise permit such principal prepayment; provided that the foregoing is not otherwise a Major Decision or another Special Servicer Non-Major Decision;

 

(iii)  any requests for the funding or disbursement of amounts from any escrow accounts, reserve funds or letters of credit held, as “performance”, “earn-out”, “holdback” or similar escrows or reserves with respect to any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, but excluding (subject to clause (vi) below) as to Mortgage Loans or Serviced Whole Loan which are non-Specially Serviced Loans, (A) any routine and/or customary escrow and reserve fundings or disbursements for which the satisfaction of performance-related criteria or lender discretion is not required or permitted pursuant to the terms of the related loan documents, (B) any request with respect to a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan that is a non-Specially Serviced Loan for the funding or disbursement of ordinary course impounds, repair and replacement reserves, lender approved budget and operating expenses, and tenant improvements pursuant to an approved lease, each in accordance with the loan documents or (C) any other funding or disbursement as mutually agreed upon by the master servicer and special servicer;

 

(iv)  any requests for the funding or disbursement of amounts from any escrow accounts, reserve funds or letters of credit in the case of certain Mortgage Loans whose escrows, reserves, holdbacks and related letters of credit exceed, in the aggregate (but excluding tax and insurance escrows), at the related origination date, 10% of the initial principal balance of such Mortgage Loan (which Mortgage Loans are identified on a schedule to the PSA), except for the routine funding of tax payments and insurance premiums when due and payable (provided the Mortgage Loan is not a Specially Serviced Loan; provided that the foregoing is not otherwise a Major Decision);

 

(v)   in circumstances where no lender discretion is permitted other than confirming that the conditions in the related Mortgage Loan documents have been satisfied (including determining whether any applicable terms or tests are satisfied), any request to incur additional debt in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents; and

 

(vi)  in circumstances where no lender discretion is required other than confirming the satisfaction of the applicable terms of the Mortgage Loan documents (including determining whether any applicable terms or tests are satisfied), processing requests for any release of collateral or any acceptance of substitute or additional collateral for a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan; provided that, in any case, Special Servicer Non-Major Decisions will not include (i) the release, substitution or addition of collateral securing any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan in connection with a defeasance of such collateral; or (ii) requests that are related to any condemnation action that is pending, or threatened in writing, and would affect a non-material portion of the Mortgaged Property; provided that such release or substitution or addition of collateral is not otherwise a Major Decision;

 

 491

 

 

provided, however, that with respect to clauses (i), (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (iv) of this definition, the master servicer will be required to process such request with respect to non-Specially Serviced Loans and obtain the consent or deemed consent of the special servicer as provided in the PSA.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the master servicer and the special servicer may mutually agree as contemplated in the PSA that the master servicer will process any of the foregoing matters with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Whole Loan that is a non-Specially Serviced Loan in accordance with the terms and conditions reasonably agreed to by the master servicer and the special servicer, including the special servicer’s consent. If the master servicer and special servicer mutually agree that the master servicer will process a Special Servicer Non-Major Decision with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Whole Loan that is a non-Specially Serviced Loan, the Master Servicer will be required to obtain the special servicer’s prior consent (or deemed consent) to the Special Servicer Non-Major Decision.

 

Enforcement of “Due-on-Sale” and “Due-on-Encumbrance” Provisions

 

The special servicer will be required to determine (with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan or, to the extent such action is a Special Servicer Major Decision or Special Servicer Non-Major Decision (other than the items listed in clauses (i), (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (iv) of “Special Servicer Non-Major Decision”), with respect to any non-Specially Serviced Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Serviced Companion Loan) and the master servicer will be required to determine (with respect to any non-Specially Serviced Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), to the extent such action is not a Special Servicer Major Decision or Special Servicer Non-Major Decision (other than the items listed in clauses (i), (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (iv) of “Special Servicer Non-Major Decision” which items the master servicer will be required to determine)), in each case, in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard, whether to (a) exercise any right it may have with respect to such Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Companion Loan containing a “due-on-sale” clause (1) to accelerate the payments on such Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan, as applicable, or (2) to grant or withhold its consent to any sale or transfer, consistent with the Servicing Standard or to (b) waive its right to exercise such rights; provided, however, that (i) with respect to such consent or waiver of rights that is a Major Decision, (x) prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control Termination Event and other than with respect to an applicable Excluded Loan or, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a related Control Appraisal Period, a Serviced AB Whole Loan, the master servicer or the special servicer, as applicable, has obtained the prior written consent (or deemed consent) of the Directing Certificateholder (or after the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, but prior to a Consultation Termination Event and other than with respect to an applicable Excluded Loan, upon consultation with the Directing Certificateholder) and (y) with respect to a Serviced AB Whole Loan prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Appraisal Period, the master servicer or the special servicer, as applicable, has obtained the prior consent of the holder of the related Control Note, to the extent required by the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement and (ii) with respect to any Mortgage Loan that (A) represents at least 5.0% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans then outstanding and has a Stated Principal Balance of at least $10,000,000, (B) represents one of the 10 largest Mortgage Loans based on Stated Principal Balance and has a Stated Principal Balance of at least $10,000,000, (C) has a Stated Principal Balance that is more than $35,000,000, or (D) is a Mortgage Loan as to which the related Serviced Companion Loan represents one of the 10 largest mortgage loans in the related other securitization

 

 492

 

 

(provided that the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, will be entitled to reasonably rely upon the written notification provided by the master servicer, special servicer, trustee or certificate administrator of such other securitization as to whether such Serviced Companion Loan is one of the 10 largest mortgage loans in such other securitization, or if no timely response is received, permitted to rely upon the most recent CREFC® Reports from such other securitization), a Rating Agency Confirmation is received by the master servicer or the special servicer, as the case may be, from each Rating Agency and a confirmation of any applicable rating agency that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any class of securities backed, wholly or partially, by any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (if any).

 

The special servicer will be required to determine (with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan or, to the extent such action is a Special Servicer Major Decision or Special Servicer Non-Major Decision (other than the items listed in clauses (i), (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (iv) of “Special Servicer Non-Major Decision”), with respect to any non-Specially Serviced Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Serviced Companion Loan with a “due-on-encumbrance” clause) and the master servicer will be required to determine (with respect to any non-Specially Serviced Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), to the extent such action is not a Special Servicer Major Decision or Special Servicer Non-Major Decision (other than the items listed in clauses (i), (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (iv) of “Special Servicer Non-Major Decision” which items the master servicer will be required to determine)), in each case, in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard, whether to (a) exercise any right it may have with respect to such Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Companion Loan containing a “due-on-encumbrance” clause (1) to accelerate the payments thereon, or (2) to grant or withhold its consent to the creation of any additional lien or other encumbrance, consistent with the Servicing Standard or to (b) waive its right to exercise such rights, provided, however, (i) with respect to such consent or waiver of rights that is a Major Decision, (x) prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control Termination Event and other than with respect to an applicable Excluded Loan or, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a related Control Appraisal Period, a Serviced AB Whole Loan, the master servicer or the special servicer, as applicable, has obtained the prior written consent (or deemed consent) of the Directing Certificateholder (or after the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, but prior to a Consultation Termination Event and other than with respect to an applicable Excluded Loan, upon consultation with the Directing Certificateholder) and (y) with respect to a Serviced AB Whole Loan prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Appraisal Period, the master servicer or the special servicer, as applicable, has obtained the prior consent of the holder of the related Subordinate Companion Loan, to the extent required by the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement and (ii) with respect to any Mortgage Loan that (A) represents at least 2.0% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans then outstanding and has a Stated Principal Balance of at least $10,000,000, (B) represents one of the 10 largest Mortgage Loans based on Stated Principal Balance and has a Stated Principal Balance of at least $10,000,000, (C) has a Stated Principal Balance that is more than $20,000,000, (D) has a loan-to-value ratio that is equal to or greater than 85% (including any existing and proposed debt) and has a Stated Principal Balance of at least $10,000,000, (E) has a debt service coverage ratio that is less than 1.20x (in each case, determined based upon the aggregate of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole Loan, if applicable) and the principal amount of the proposed additional lien) and has a Stated Principal Balance of at least $10,000,000, or (F) is a Mortgage Loan as to which the related Serviced Companion Loan represents one of the 10 largest mortgage loans in the related other securitization (provided that the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, will be entitled to reasonably rely upon the written notification provided by the master servicer, special servicer, trustee or certificate administrator of such

 

 493

 

 

other securitization as to whether such Serviced Companion Loan is one of the 10 largest mortgage loans in such other securitization, or if no timely response is received, permitted to rely upon the most recent CREFC® Reports from such other securitization), a Rating Agency Confirmation is received by the master servicer or the special servicer, as the case may be, from each Rating Agency and a confirmation of any applicable rating agency that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any class of securities backed, wholly or partially, by any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (if any).

 

With respect to any matter described in the preceding two paragraphs, with respect to any non-Specially Serviced Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) as to which such action is a Special Servicer Major Decision or Special Servicer Non-Major Decision, the special servicer and the master servicer may mutually agree that the master servicer will process such action in accordance with the terms and conditions reasonably agreed to by the master servicer and the special servicer, including the special servicer’s consent and subject to the rights of the Directing Certificateholder discussed under “—The Directing Certificateholder” and any Controlling Holder of a Serviced AB Whole Loan; provided, however, that with respect to clauses (i), (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (iv) of this definition, the master servicer will be required to process such request with respect to non-Specially Serviced Loans (other than Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans) and obtain the consent or deemed consent of the special servicer as provided in the PSA.

 

It is expected that any modification, extension, waiver or amendment of the payment terms of a Non-Serviced Whole Loan will be required to be structured so as to be consistent with the servicing standard under the related Non-Serviced PSA and the allocation and payment priorities in the related Mortgage Loan documents and the related Intercreditor Agreement, such that neither the issuing entity as holder of such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan nor any holder of the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan gains a priority over the other holder that is not reflected in the related Mortgage Loan documents and the related Intercreditor Agreement.

 

Inspections

 

The master servicer will be required to perform (at its own expense) or cause to be performed (at its own expense) physical inspections of each Mortgaged Property relating to a Mortgage Loan (other than a Mortgaged Property securing a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, which is subject to inspection pursuant to the related Non-Serviced PSA, and other than a Specially Serviced Loan) with a Stated Principal Balance of (A) $2,000,000 or more at least once every 12 months and (B) less than $2,000,000 at least once every 24 months, in each case commencing in the calendar year 2018 unless a physical inspection has been performed by the special servicer within the previous 12 months; provided, further, however, that if any scheduled payment becomes more than 60 days delinquent on the related Mortgage Loan, the special servicer is required to inspect or cause to be inspected the related Mortgaged Property as soon as practicable after the Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan and annually thereafter for so long as the Mortgage Loan remains a Specially Serviced Loan (the cost of which inspection, to the extent not paid by the related borrower, will be reimbursed first from default interest and late charges constituting additional compensation of the special servicer on the related Mortgage Loan (but with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, only amounts available for such purpose under the related Intercreditor Agreement) and then from the Collection Account as an expense of the issuing entity, and in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, as an expense of the holders of the related Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan and Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, pro rata and pari passu, to the extent provided in the related Intercreditor Agreement. With

 

 494

 

 

respect to a Serviced AB Whole Loan, the costs will be allocated, first, as an expense of the holder of the related Subordinate Companion Loan, and second, as an expense of the holder of the related Mortgage Loan to the extent provided in the related Intercreditor Agreement. The special servicer or master servicer, as applicable, will be required to prepare or cause to be prepared a written report of the inspection describing, among other things, the condition of and any damage to the Mortgaged Property to the extent evident from the inspection and specifying the existence of any vacancies at the Mortgaged Property of which the preparer of such report has knowledge and the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, deems material, of any sale, transfer or abandonment of the Mortgaged Property of which the preparer of such report has knowledge or that is evident from the inspection, of any adverse change in the condition of the Mortgaged Property of which the preparer of such report has knowledge or that is evident from the inspection, and that the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, deems material, or of any material waste committed on the Mortgaged Property to the extent evident from the inspection.

 

Copies of the inspection reports referred to above that are delivered to the certificate administrator will be posted to the certificate administrator’s website for review by Privileged Persons pursuant to the PSA. See “Description of the Certificates—Reports to Certificateholders; Certain Available Information”.

 

Collection of Operating Information

 

With respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), the special servicer or the master servicer, as applicable, will be required to use reasonable efforts to collect and review quarterly and annual operating statements, financial statements, budgets and rent rolls of the related Mortgaged Property commencing with the calendar quarter ending on March 31, 2018 and the calendar year ending on December 31, 2017. Most of the Mortgage Loan documents obligate the related borrower to deliver annual property operating statements. However, we cannot assure you that any operating statements required to be delivered will in fact be delivered, nor is the special servicer or the master servicer likely to have any practical means of compelling the delivery in the case of an otherwise performing Mortgage Loan. In addition, the special servicer will be required to cause quarterly and annual operating statements, budgets and rent rolls to be regularly prepared in respect of each REO Property and to collect all such items promptly following their preparation.

 

Special Servicing Transfer Event

 

The Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), any related Companion Loan and any related REO Properties will be serviced by the special servicer under the PSA in the event that the servicing responsibilities of the master servicer are transferred to the special servicer as described below. Such Mortgage Loans and related Companion Loan (including those loans that have become REO Properties) serviced by the special servicer are referred to in this prospectus collectively as the “Specially Serviced Loans”. The master servicer will be required to transfer its servicing responsibilities to the special servicer with respect to any Mortgage Loan (including any related Companion Loan) for which the master servicer is responsible for servicing if:

 

(1)  as to which a payment default has occurred at its original maturity date, or, if the original maturity date has been extended, at its extended maturity date; and in the case of a balloon payment, if the balloon payment is delinquent and the related borrower has not provided the master servicer (and the master servicer will promptly forward a copy of such document to the special servicer), within 60 days after the related maturity date, with a written and fully executed (subject only to customary final closing conditions)

 

 495

 

 

commitment, letter of intent, or otherwise binding application for refinancing or similar document that is, in each case, binding upon an acceptable lender or signed purchase agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the master servicer (and the master servicer will promptly forward a copy of such document to the special servicer, if it is not evident that a copy has been delivered to such other party), which provides that such refinancing or purchase will occur within 120 days of such related maturity date, provided that such Mortgage Loan and any related Companion Loan will become a Specially Serviced Loan immediately if the related borrower fails to diligently pursue such financing or to pay any Assumed Scheduled Payment on the related due date (subject to any applicable grace period) at any time before the refinancing or, if such refinancing does not occur, such Mortgage Loan and any related Companion Loan at the end of such 120-day period (or for such shorter period beyond the date on which the related balloon payment was due within which the refinancing is scheduled to occur pursuant to the commitment for refinancing or on which such commitment terminates);

 

(2) as to which any Periodic Payment is more than 60 days delinquent;

 

(3) as to which (i) the borrower has entered into or consented to bankruptcy, appointment of a receiver or conservator or a similar insolvency proceeding, (ii) the borrower has become the subject of a decree or order for that proceeding and it has not been stayed or discharged or dismissed within 60 days (or a shorter period if the master servicer or the special servicer (and, in the case of the special servicer, with the consent of the controlling class representative, unless a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing) determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that the circumstances warrant that the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan (or REO Loan) be transferred to special servicing), or (iii) the related borrower has admitted in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors or voluntarily suspends payment of its obligations;

 

(4) as to which the master servicer or special servicer has received notice of the commencement of foreclosure or foreclosure or proposed foreclosure or similar proceedings of any lien other than the Mortgage on the Mortgaged Property;

 

(5) as to which, in the judgment of the master servicer, a payment default is imminent or reasonably foreseeable and is not likely to be cured by the borrower within 30 days;

 

(6) as to which a default that the master servicer or special servicer has notice (other than a failure by the related borrower to pay principal or interest) and which the master servicer determines, in its good faith reasonable judgment, may materially and adversely affect the interests of the Certificateholders (and, with respect to any Whole Loan, the holders of any related Companion Loan, as a collective whole (taking into account the subordinate or pari passu or subordinate nature of any Companion Loan, as applicable)), has occurred and remains unremediated for the applicable grace period specified in the Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan documents, other than in certain circumstances the failure to maintain terrorism insurance (or if no grace period is specified for events of default that are capable of cure, 30 days); or

 

(7) as to which the master servicer determines that (i) a default (other than as described in clause (5) above) under the Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan is imminent or reasonably foreseeable, (ii) such default will materially impair the value of the corresponding Mortgaged Property as security for the Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan or otherwise materially adversely affect the interests of Certificateholders (and, with respect to a Whole Loan, the holders of any related

 

 496

 

 

Companion Loan as a collective whole (taking into account the pari passu or subordinate nature of any Companion Loans)), and (iii) the default will continue unremedied for the applicable cure period under the terms of the Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan, or, if no cure period is specified and the default is capable of being cured, for 30 days (provided that such 30-day grace period does not apply to a default that gives rise to immediate acceleration without application of a grace period under the terms of the Mortgage Loan or related Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable; provided that, any determination that a special servicing transfer event has occurred under this clause (7) with respect to any Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan solely by reason of the failure (or imminent failure) of the related borrower to maintain or cause to be maintained insurance coverage against damages or losses arising from acts of terrorism may only be made by the master servicer (and with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an applicable Excluded Loan, prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control Termination Event, with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder)) as described under “—Maintenance of Insurance” above.

 

However, the master servicer will be required to continue to (x) receive payments on the Mortgage Loans (and any related Serviced Companion Loan) (including amounts collected by the special servicer), (y) make certain calculations with respect to the Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Companion Loan and (z) make remittances and prepare certain reports to the Certificateholders with respect to the Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Companion Loan. Additionally, the master servicer will continue to receive the Servicing Fee in respect of the Mortgage Loans (and any related Serviced Companion Loan) at the Servicing Fee Rate. Prior to a Consultation Termination Event, promptly upon a determination by the master servicer pursuant to clauses (5), (6) or (7) above, the master servicer will notify the Directing Certificateholder of such determination.

 

If the related Mortgaged Property is acquired in respect of any Mortgage Loan (and any related Serviced Companion Loan) (upon acquisition, an “REO Property”) whether through foreclosure, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, the special servicer will continue to be responsible for its operation and management. If any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan becomes specially serviced, then the related Mortgage Loan will also become a Specially Serviced Loan. If any Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan, then the related Serviced Companion Loan will also become a Specially Serviced Loan. Neither the master servicer nor the special servicer will have any responsibility for the performance by such other party of its duties under the PSA. Any Mortgage Loan (excluding any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) that is or becomes a cross-collateralized Mortgage Loan and is cross-collateralized with a Specially Serviced Loan will become a Specially Serviced Loan.

 

If any Specially Serviced Loan, in accordance with its original terms or as modified in accordance with the PSA, becomes performing for at least 3 consecutive Periodic Payments (provided that no additional event of default is foreseeable in the reasonable judgment of the special servicer and no other event or circumstance exists that causes such Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan to otherwise constitute a Specially Serviced Loan), the special servicer will be required to transfer servicing of such Specially Serviced Loan (a “Corrected Loan”) to the master servicer.

 

Asset Status Report

 

The special servicer will be required to prepare a report (an “Asset Status Report”) for each Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and, if applicable, any Serviced Whole Loan that becomes a Specially Serviced Loan not later than 60 days after the servicing of such Mortgage Loan is transferred to the special servicer (the “Initial Delivery Date”) and will be required to amend, update or create a new Asset Status Report

 

 497

 

 

to the extent that during the course of the resolution of such Specially Serviced Loan material changes in the circumstances and strategy reflected in any current Final Asset Status Report are necessary to reflect the then current circumstances and recommendation as to how the Specially Serviced Loan might be returned to performing status or otherwise liquidated in accordance with the Servicing Standard (each such report a “Subsequent Asset Status Report”). Each Asset Status Report will be required to be delivered in electronic form to:

 

the Directing Certificateholder (but only with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan and prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event and, in the case of a Serviced AB Whole Loan, only prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event and during a Control Appraisal Period with respect to the related Subordinate Companion Loan);

 

with respect to a Serviced AB Whole Loan, to the extent the related Subordinate Companion Loan is not subject to a Control Appraisal Period, the holder of the related Subordinate Companion Loan;

 

with respect to any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, the holder of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan or, to the extent the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan has been included in a securitization transaction, the master servicer of such securitization into which the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan has been sold;

 

the operating advisor (but, other than with respect to an Excluded Loan, only after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event and, with respect to a Serviced AB Whole Loan, only to the extent that it is subject to a Control Appraisal Period);

 

the master servicer; and

 

the 17g-5 Information Provider, which will be required to post such report to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s website.

 

A summary of each Final Asset Status Report will be provided to the certificate administrator and the certificate administrator will be required to post the summary of the Final Asset Status Report to the certificate administrator’s website.

 

An Asset Status Report prepared for each Specially Serviced Loan will be required to include, among other things, the following information:

 

a summary of the status of such Specially Serviced Loan and any negotiations with the related borrower;

 

a discussion of the legal and environmental considerations reasonably known to the special servicer, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that are applicable to the exercise of remedies and to the enforcement of any related guaranties or other collateral for the related Specially Serviced Loan and whether outside legal counsel has been retained;

 

the most current rent roll and income or operating statement available for the related Mortgaged Property;

 

 498

 

 

(A) the special servicer’s recommendations on how such Specially Serviced Loan might be returned to performing status (including the modification of a monetary term, and any workout, restructure or debt forgiveness) and returned to the master servicer for regular servicing or foreclosed or otherwise realized upon (including any proposed sale of a Defaulted Loan or REO Property), (B) a description of any such proposed or taken actions, and (C) the alternative courses of action that were or are being considered by the special servicer in connection with the proposed or taken actions;

 

the status of any foreclosure actions or other proceedings undertaken with respect to the Specially Serviced Loan, any proposed workouts and the status of any negotiations with respect to such workouts, and an assessment of the likelihood of additional defaults under the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan;

 

a description of any amendment, modification or waiver of a material term of any ground lease (or any space lease or air rights lease, if applicable) or franchise agreement;

 

the decision that the special servicer made, or intends or proposes to make, including a narrative analysis setting forth the special servicer’s rationale for its proposed decision, including its rejection of the alternatives;

 

an analysis of whether or not taking such proposed action is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery on a present value basis than not taking such action, setting forth (x) the basis on which the special servicer made such determination and (y) the net present value calculation and all related assumptions;

 

the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property (and a copy of the last obtained appraisal of such Mortgaged Property) together with a description of any adjustments to the valuation of such Mortgaged Property made by the special servicer together with an explanation of those adjustments; and

 

such other information as the special servicer deems relevant in light of the Servicing Standard.

 

With respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan, if no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Directing Certificateholder will have the right to disapprove the Asset Status Report prepared by the special servicer with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan within 10 business days after receipt of the Asset Status Report. If the Directing Certificateholder does not disapprove an Asset Status Report within 10 business days or if the special servicer makes a determination, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that the disapproval by the Directing Certificateholder (communicated to the special servicer within 10 business days) is not in the best interest of all the Certificateholders and the holder of any related Companion Loan, as a collective whole, the special servicer will be required to implement the recommended action as outlined in the Asset Status Report. If the Directing Certificateholder disapproves the Asset Status Report within the 10 business day period and the special servicer has not made the affirmative determination described above, the special servicer will be required to revise the Asset Status Report as soon as practicable thereafter, but in no event later than 30 days after the disapproval. The special servicer will be required to continue to revise the Asset Status Report until the Directing Certificateholder (or, with respect to a Serviced AB Whole Loan prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Appraisal Period, the prior consent of the holder of the related Subordinate Companion Loan, to the extent required by the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement) fails to disapprove the revised Asset

 

 499

 

 

Status Report or until the special servicer makes a determination, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that the disapproval is not in the best interests of the Certificateholders and the holder of any related Companion Loan, as a collective whole; provided that, if the Directing Certificateholder has not approved the Asset Status Report for a period of 60 business days following the first submission of an Asset Status Report, the special servicer may act upon the most recently submitted form of Asset Status Report, if consistent with the Servicing Standard; provided, however, that if the Directing Certificateholder’s direction would cause the special servicer to violate the Servicing Standard, the special servicer may act upon the most recently submitted form of Asset Status Report. The procedures described in this paragraph are collectively referred to as the “Directing Certificateholder Approval Process“.

 

A “Final Asset Status Report” means, with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan, the initial Asset Status Report (together with such other data or supporting information provided by the special servicer to the Directing Certificateholder or the Controlling Holder with respect to an AB Whole Loan that does not include any communication (other than the related Asset Status Report) between the special servicer and the Directing Certificateholder or between the special servicer and the Controlling Holder with respect to an AB Whole Loan with respect to such Specially Serviced Loan) required to be delivered by the special servicer by the Initial Delivery Date and any Subsequent Asset Status Report, in each case, in the form fully approved or deemed approved, if applicable, by the Directing Certificateholder pursuant to the Directing Certificateholder Approval Process or following completion of the ASR Consultation Process, as applicable, or by the Controlling Holder with respect to an AB Whole Loan (to the extent required by the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement). For the avoidance of doubt, the special servicer may issue more than one Final Asset Status Report with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan in accordance with the procedures described above.

 

Prior to an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, the special servicer will be required to deliver each Final Asset Status Report to the operating advisor following completion of the Directing Certificateholder Approval Process. See “—The Directing Certificateholder—Major Decisions—Control Termination Event, Consultation Termination Event and Operating Advisor Consultation Event” below for a discussion of the operating advisor’s ability to ask the special servicer reasonable questions with respect to such Final Asset Status Report.

 

If an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing (or, with respect to a Serviced AB Whole Loan, if both an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing and a Control Appraisal Period is in effect), the special servicer will be required to deliver each Asset Status Report prepared in connection with a Specially Serviced Loan to the operating advisor and, other than with respect to any Excluded Loan and for so long as no Consultation Termination Event has occurred, the Directing Certificateholder. The operating advisor will be required to provide comments to the special servicer in respect of each Asset Status Report, if any, within 10 business days following the later of receipt of (i) such Asset Status Report or (ii) such related additional information reasonably requested by the operating advisor, and propose possible alternative courses of action to the extent it determines such alternatives to be in the best interest of the Certificateholders (including any Certificateholders that are holders of the Control Eligible Certificates), as a collective whole. The special servicer will be obligated to consider such alternative courses of action and any other feedback provided by the operating advisor (and the Directing Certificateholder (if no Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and other than with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is an Excluded Loan)) in connection with the special servicer’s preparation of any Asset Status Report. The special servicer may revise the Asset Status Report as it deems necessary to take into account any

 

 500

 

 

input and/or comments from the operating advisor and the Directing Certificateholder (if no Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and other than with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is an Excluded Loan), to the extent the special servicer determines that the operating advisor’s and/or Directing Certificateholder’s input and/or recommendations are consistent with the Servicing Standard and in the best interest of the Certificateholders as a collective whole (or, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, the best interest of the Certificateholders and the holders of the related Companion Loan, as a collective whole (taking into account the pari passu nature of such Companion Loan)). Upon determining whether or not to revise any Asset Status Report to take into account any input and/or comments from the operating advisor or the Directing Certificateholder, the special servicer will be required to revise the Asset Status Report, if applicable, and deliver to the operating advisor and the Directing Certificateholder the revised Asset Status Report (until a Final Asset Status Report is issued). The procedures described in this paragraph are collectively referred to as the “ASR Consultation Process”. For additional information, see “—The Operating Advisor—Additional Duties of Operating Advisor While an Operating Advisor Consultation Event Has Occurred and Is Continuing”.

 

The special servicer will not be required to take or to refrain from taking any action because of an objection or comment by the operating advisor or a recommendation of the operating advisor.

 

After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, each of the Directing Certificateholder (other than with respect to an Excluded Loan or a Serviced AB Whole Loan (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Appraisal Period)) and the operating advisor will be entitled to consult with the special servicer and propose alternative courses of action and provide other feedback in respect of any Asset Status Report. After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder will not have any right to consult with the special servicer with respect to Asset Status Reports and the special servicer will only be obligated to consult with the operating advisor with respect to any Asset Status Report as described above. The special servicer may choose to revise the Asset Status Report as it deems reasonably necessary in accordance with the Servicing Standard to take into account any input and/or recommendations of the operating advisor or the Directing Certificateholder during the applicable periods described above, but is under no obligation to follow any particular recommendation of the operating advisor or the Directing Certificateholder.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to a Serviced AB Whole Loan and prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Appraisal Period, the special servicer will prepare an Asset Status Report for such Serviced AB Whole Loan within 60 days after it becomes a Specially Serviced Loan in accordance with the terms of the PSA and any applicable provisions of the related Intercreditor Agreement and the holder of the Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan will have the same rights as the Directing Certificateholder described hereunder with respect thereto, and the Directing Certificateholder will have no approval rights over any such Asset Status Report unless a Control Appraisal Period exists. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Serviced AB Whole Loans—Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Whole Loan” and “—Centre 425 Bellevue Whole Loan”.

 

With respect to each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the related Non-Serviced Directing Certificateholder will or is expected to have approval and consultation rights with respect to any asset status report prepared by the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer with respect to the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan under the related Non-Serviced PSA that are substantially similar, but not identical, to the approval and consultation rights of the Directing Certificateholder with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Serviced Whole

 

 501

 

 

Loans. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loans” and “—The Non-Serviced AB Whole Loans”. See also “—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans” below.

 

Realization Upon Mortgage Loans

 

If a payment default or material non-monetary default on a Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) has occurred, then, pursuant to the PSA, the special servicer, on behalf of the trustee, may, in accordance with the terms and provisions of the PSA, at any time institute foreclosure proceedings, exercise any power of sale contained in the related Mortgage, obtain a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, or otherwise acquire title to the related Mortgaged Property, by operation of law or otherwise. The special servicer is not permitted, however, to cause the trustee to acquire title to any Mortgaged Property, have a receiver of rents appointed with respect to any Mortgaged Property or take any other action with respect to any Mortgaged Property that would cause the trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, or any other specified person to be considered to hold title to, to be a “mortgagee-in-possession” of, or to be an “owner” or an “operator” of such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of certain federal environmental laws, unless the special servicer has determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard, based on an updated environmental assessment report prepared by a person who regularly conducts environmental audits and performed within six months prior to any such acquisition of title or other action (which report will be an expense of the issuing entity subject to the terms of the PSA) that:

 

(a)  such Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable environmental laws or, if not, after consultation with an environmental consultant, that it would be in the best economic interest of the Certificateholders (and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holders), as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, Companion Holders constituted a single lender, to take such actions as are necessary to bring such Mortgaged Property in compliance with such laws, and

 

(b)  there are no circumstances present at such Mortgaged Property relating to the use, management or disposal of any hazardous materials for which investigation, testing, monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation could be required under any currently effective federal, state or local law or regulation, or that, if any such hazardous materials are present for which such action could be required, after consultation with an environmental consultant, it would be in the best economic interest of the Certificateholders (and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holders), as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, Companion Holders constituted a single lender, to take such actions with respect to the affected Mortgaged Property.

 

Such requirement precludes enforcement of the security for the related Mortgage Loan until a satisfactory environmental site assessment is obtained (or until any required remedial action is taken), but will decrease the likelihood that the issuing entity will become liable for a material adverse environmental condition at the Mortgaged Property. However, we cannot assure you that the requirements of the PSA will effectively insulate the issuing entity from potential liability for a materially adverse environmental condition at any Mortgaged Property.

 

If title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired by the issuing entity (directly or through a single member limited liability company established for that purpose), the special servicer will be required to sell the Mortgaged Property prior to the close of the third calendar year beginning after the year of acquisition, unless (1) the IRS grants (or has not denied) a

 

 502

 

 

qualifying extension of time to sell the Mortgaged Property or (2) the special servicer, the certificate administrator and the trustee receive an opinion of independent counsel to the effect that the holding of the Mortgaged Property by the Lower-Tier REMIC longer than the above-referenced 3 year period will not result in the imposition of a tax on any Trust REMIC or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code at any time that any certificate is outstanding. Subject to the foregoing and any other tax-related limitations, pursuant to the PSA, the special servicer will generally be required to attempt to sell any Mortgaged Property so acquired in accordance with the Servicing Standard. The special servicer will also be required to ensure that any Mortgaged Property acquired by the issuing entity is administered so that it constitutes “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(8) at all times, and that the sale of the Mortgaged Property does not result in the receipt by the issuing entity of any income from nonpermitted assets as described in Code Section 860F(a)(2)(B). If the Lower-Tier REMIC acquires title to any Mortgaged Property, the special servicer, on behalf of the Lower-Tier REMIC, will retain, at the expense of the issuing entity, an independent contractor to manage and operate the property. The independent contractor generally will be permitted to perform construction (including renovation) on a foreclosed property only if the construction was more than 10% completed at the time default on the related Mortgage Loan became imminent. The retention of an independent contractor, however, will not relieve the special servicer of its obligation to manage the Mortgaged Property as required under the PSA.

 

In general, the special servicer will be obligated to cause any Mortgaged Property acquired as an REO Property to be operated and managed in a manner that would, in its reasonable judgment and in accordance with the Servicing Standard, maximize the issuing entity’s net after-tax proceeds from such property. Generally, no Trust REMIC will be taxable on income received with respect to a Mortgaged Property acquired by the issuing entity to the extent that it constitutes “rents from real property”, within the meaning of Code Section 856(c)(3)(A) and Treasury regulations under the Code. Rents from real property include fixed rents and rents based on the gross receipts or sales of a tenant but do not include the portion of any rental based on the net income or profit of any tenant or sub-tenant. No determination has been made whether rent on any of the Mortgaged Properties meets this requirement. Rents from real property include charges for services customarily furnished or rendered in connection with the rental of real property, whether or not the charges are separately stated. Services furnished to the tenants of a particular building will be considered as customary if, in the geographic market in which the building is located, tenants in buildings which are of similar class are customarily provided with the service. No determination has been made whether the services furnished to the tenants of the Mortgaged Properties are “customary” within the meaning of applicable regulations. It is therefore possible that a portion of the rental income with respect to a Mortgaged Property owned by the issuing entity would not constitute rents from real property. In addition, it is possible that none of the income with respect to a Mortgaged Property would qualify if a separate charge is not stated for non-customary services provided to tenants or if such services are not performed by an independent contractor. Rents from real property also do not include income from the operation of a trade or business on the Mortgaged Property, such as a hotel property, or rental income attributable to personal property leased in connection with a lease of real property if the rent attributable to personal property exceeds 15% of the total net rent for the taxable year. Any of the foregoing types of income may instead constitute “net income from foreclosure property”, which would be taxable to a REMIC at the highest marginal federal corporate rate (currently 35%) and may also be subject to state or local taxes. The PSA provides that the special servicer will be permitted to cause the Lower-Tier REMIC to earn “net income from foreclosure property” that is subject to tax if it determines that the net after-tax benefit to Certificateholders is greater than another method of operating or net leasing the Mortgaged Property. Because

 

 503

 

 

these sources of income, if they exist, are already in place with respect to the Mortgaged Properties, it is generally viewed as beneficial to Certificateholders to permit the issuing entity to continue to earn them if it acquires a Mortgaged Property, even at the cost of this tax. These taxes would be chargeable against the related income for purposes of determining the proceeds available for distribution to holders of certificates. See “Material Federal Income Tax Considerations—Taxes That May Be Imposed on a REMIC—Prohibited Transactions”.

 

Under the PSA, the special servicer is required to establish and maintain one or more REO Accounts, to be held on behalf of the trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders and with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holder, for the retention of revenues and insurance proceeds derived from each REO Property. The special servicer is required to use the funds in the REO Account to pay for the proper operation, management, maintenance and disposition of any REO Property, but only to the extent that amounts on deposit in the REO Account relate to such REO Property. To the extent that amounts in the REO Account in respect of any REO Property are insufficient to make such payments, the master servicer is required to make a Servicing Advance, unless it determines such Servicing Advance would be nonrecoverable. On the later of the date that is (x) on or prior to each Determination Date or (y) two (2) business days after such amounts are received and properly identified, the special servicer is required to deposit all amounts received in respect of each REO Property during the most recently ended Collection Period, net of any amounts withdrawn to make any permitted disbursements, into the Collection Account; provided that the special servicer may retain in the REO Account permitted reserves.

 

Sale of Defaulted Loans and REO Properties

 

If the special servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that no satisfactory arrangements (including by way of discounted payoff) can be made for collection of delinquent payments thereon and such sale would be in the best economic interests of the Certificateholders or, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, Certificateholders and any holder of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan or any holder of a related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and Companion Holder constituted a single lender and, with respect to a Serviced AB Whole Loan, taking into account the subordinate nature of the related Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan) to attempt to sell a Defaulted Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Serviced Companion Loan as described below, the special servicer will be required to use reasonable efforts to solicit offers for each Defaulted Loan on behalf of the Certificateholders and the holder of any related Serviced Companion Loan in such manner as will be reasonably likely to realize a fair price. To the extent that a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is not sold together with the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan by the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer, the special servicer will, under certain limited circumstances specified in the related Intercreditor Agreement, be entitled to sell (with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan, with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder if no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing) such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan if it determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such action would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders. In the absence of a cash offer at least equal to its outstanding principal balance plus all accrued and unpaid interest and outstanding costs and expenses and certain other amounts under the PSA (a “Par Purchase Price”), the special servicer may purchase the Defaulted Loan for the Par Purchase Price or may accept the first cash offer received from any person that constitutes a fair price for the Defaulted Loan. If multiple offers are received during the period designated by the special servicer for receipt of offers,

 

 504

 

 

the special servicer is generally required to select the highest offer. The special servicer is required to give the trustee, the certificate administrator, the master servicer, the operating advisor and (other than in respect of any applicable Excluded Loan) the Directing Certificateholder (or, with respect to the Serviced AB Whole Loan, if applicable, prior to the occurrence of a Control Appraisal Period, the holder of the related Subordinate Companion Loan) 10 business days’ prior written notice of its intention to sell any such Defaulted Loan. Neither the trustee nor any of its affiliates may make an offer for or purchase any Defaulted Loan. “Defaulted Loan” means a Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Whole Loan (i) that is delinquent at least 60 days in respect of its Periodic Payments (other than a balloon payment) or delinquent in respect of its balloon payment, if any; provided that in respect of a balloon payment, such period will be 120 days if the related borrower has provided the special servicer with a written and fully executed commitment for refinancing of the related Mortgage Loan from an acceptable lender reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the special servicer; and, in either case, such delinquency is to be determined without giving effect to any grace period permitted by the related Mortgage or Mortgage Note and without regard to any acceleration of payments under the related Mortgage and Mortgage Note or (ii) as to which the special servicer has, by written notice to the related borrower, accelerated the maturity of the indebtedness evidenced by the related Mortgage Note.

 

The special servicer will be required to determine whether any cash offer constitutes a fair price for any Defaulted Loan if the highest offeror is a person other than an Interested Person. In determining whether any offer from a person other than an Interested Person constitutes a fair price for any Defaulted Loan, the special servicer will be required to take into account (in addition to the results of any appraisal, updated appraisal or narrative appraisal that it may have obtained pursuant to the PSA within the prior 9 months), among other factors, the period and amount of the occupancy level and physical condition of the related Mortgaged Property and the state of the local economy.

 

If the offeror is an Interested Person (provided that the trustee may not be a offeror), then the trustee will be required to determine whether the cash offer constitutes a fair price unless (i) the offer is equal to or greater than the applicable Par Purchase Price and (ii) the offer is the highest offer received. Absent an offer at least equal to the Par Purchase Price, no offer from an Interested Person will constitute a fair price unless (A) it is the highest offer received and (B) at least two other offers are received from independent third parties. In determining whether any offer received from an Interested Person represents a fair price for any such Defaulted Loan, the trustee will be supplied with and will be required to rely on the most recent appraisal or updated appraisal conducted in accordance with the PSA within the preceding 9-month period or, in the absence of any such appraisal, on a new appraisal. Except as provided in the following paragraph, the cost of any appraisal will be covered by, and will be reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance by the master servicer.

 

Notwithstanding anything contained in the preceding paragraph to the contrary, if the trustee is required to determine whether a cash offer by an Interested Person constitutes a fair price, the trustee will be required to (at the expense of the Interested Person) designate an independent third party expert in real estate or commercial mortgage loan matters with at least 5 years’ experience in valuing loans similar to the subject Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as the case may be, that has been selected with reasonable care by the trustee to determine if such cash offer constitutes a fair price for such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan. If the trustee designates such a third party to make such determination, the trustee will be entitled to rely conclusively upon such third party’s determination. The reasonable fees of, and the costs of all appraisals, inspection reports and broker opinions of value incurred by any such third party pursuant to this paragraph will

 

 505

 

 

be covered by, and will be reimbursable by, the Interested Person, and to the extent not collected from such Interested Person within 30 days of request therefor, by the master servicer as a Servicing Advance; provided that the trustee will not engage a third party expert whose fees exceed a commercially reasonable amount as determined by the trustee.

 

The special servicer is required to use reasonable efforts to solicit offers for each REO Property on behalf of the Certificateholders and the related Companion Holder(s) (if applicable) and to sell each REO Property in the same manner as with respect to a Defaulted Loan.

 

Notwithstanding any of the foregoing paragraphs, the special servicer will not be required to accept the highest cash offer for a Defaulted Loan or REO Property if the special servicer determines, in consultation with the Directing Certificateholder (unless a Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and other than with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is an Excluded Loan) and, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan or an REO Property related to a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holder(s)), in accordance with the Servicing Standard (and subject to the requirements of any related Intercreditor Agreement), that rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, in the case of a sale of a Serviced Whole Loan or an REO Property related to a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holder(s) (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Companion Holder(s) constituted a single lender (and with respect to a Serviced AB Whole Loan, taking into account the subordinate nature of the related Subordinate Companion Loan)). In addition, the special servicer may accept a lower offer (from any person other than itself or an affiliate) if it determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that acceptance of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan or an REO Property related to a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holder(s) (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Companion Holder(s) constituted a single lender (and with respect to a Serviced AB Whole Loan, taking into account the subordinate nature of the related Subordinate Companion Loan)). The special servicer will be required to use reasonable efforts to sell all Defaulted Loans prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date.

 

An “Interested Person”, as of the date of any determination, is the depositor, the master servicer, the special servicer, the operating advisor, the asset representations reviewer, the certificate administrator, the trustee, the Directing Certificateholder, any sponsor, any Borrower Party, any independent contractor engaged by the special servicer or any known affiliate of any of the preceding entities. With respect to a Whole Loan if it is a Defaulted Loan, the depositor, the master servicer, the special servicer (or any independent contractor engaged by the special servicer), or the trustee for the securitization of a Companion Loan, and each related Companion Holder or its representative, any holder of a related mezzanine loan, or any known affiliate of any such party described above.

 

With respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement(s), if such Serviced Whole Loan becomes a Defaulted Loan, and if the special servicer determines to sell the related Mortgage Loan in accordance with the discussion in this “—Sale of Defaulted Loans and REO Properties” section, then the special servicer (other than with respect to a sale involving a Serviced AB Whole Loan) will be required to sell the related Companion Loan together with such Mortgage Loan as one whole loan and will be required to require that all offers be submitted to the special servicer in writing. The special servicer will not be permitted to sell the related Mortgage Loan together with the related Companion Loan if such Serviced Whole Loan becomes a Defaulted Loan without the consent of the holder of the related Companion Loan, unless the special servicer complies with certain notice and delivery requirements set forth in the PSA and the

 

 506

 

 

related Intercreditor Agreement. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loans” and “—The Serviced AB Whole Loans”.

 

In connection with any such sale involving a Serviced AB Whole Loan, the special servicer will also have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase or sell the related Subordinate Companion Loan if the special servicer determines that such purchase or sale is in accordance with the Servicing Standard (taking into account the subordinate nature of the applicable Subordinate Companion Loan) and subject to any rights of the holder of the related Control Note pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Serviced AB Whole Loans—Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Whole Loan” and “—Centre 425 Bellevue Whole Loan”.

 

In addition, with respect to each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, if such Mortgage Loan has become a defaulted loan under the related Non-Serviced PSA, the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer will generally have the right to sell such Mortgage Loan together with the related Companion Loan(s) as notes evidencing one whole loan. The issuing entity, as the holder of such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, will have the right to consent to such sale, provided that such Non-Serviced Special Servicer may sell the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan without such consent if the required notices and information regarding such sale are provided to the issuing entity in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement. The Directing Certificateholder will be entitled to exercise such consent right so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, and if a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the special servicer will be entitled to exercise such consent rights. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loans” and “—The Non-Serviced AB Whole Loans”.

 

To the extent that Liquidation Proceeds collected with respect to any Mortgage Loan are less than the sum of (1) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (2) interest accrued on the Mortgage Loan and (3) the aggregate amount of outstanding reimbursable expenses (including any (i) unpaid servicing compensation, (ii) unreimbursed Servicing Advances, (iii) accrued and unpaid interest on all Advances and (iv) additional expenses of the issuing entity) incurred with respect to the Mortgage Loan, the issuing entity will realize a loss in the amount of the shortfall. The trustee, the master servicer and/or the special servicer will be entitled to reimbursement out of the Liquidation Proceeds recovered on any Mortgage Loan, prior to the distribution of those Liquidation Proceeds to Certificateholders, of any and all amounts that represent unpaid servicing compensation in respect of the related Mortgage Loan, certain unreimbursed expenses incurred with respect to the Mortgage Loan and any unreimbursed Advances (including interest on Advances) made with respect to the Mortgage Loan. In addition, amounts otherwise distributable on the certificates will be further reduced by interest payable to the master servicer, the special servicer or trustee on these Advances.

 

The Directing Certificateholder

 

General

 

Subject to the rights of the holder of any related Companion Loan under the related Intercreditor Agreements as described in the second succeeding paragraph and under “—Rights of the Directing Certificateholder with respect to Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans or the Servicing Shift Whole Loans” below, for so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Directing Certificateholder will be entitled to advise (1) the special servicer, with respect to Specially Serviced Loans (other than any Excluded Loan), and will have the right to replace the special servicer with or without cause and have certain other rights under the PSA, each as described below, (2) the special servicer, with respect

 

 507

 

 

to all non-Specially Serviced Loans (other than any Excluded Loan), as to all Special Servicer Major Decisions and (3) the master servicer, with respect to the applicable non-Specially Serviced Loans other than any applicable Excluded Loan, as to all Master Servicer Major Decisions. With respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan, upon the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder will have certain consultation rights only, and upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholders will not have any consent or consultation rights, as further described below.

 

With respect to any matter for which the consent of the Directing Certificateholder is required, to the extent no specific time period for deemed consent is expressly stated, in the event no response from the Directing Certificateholder is received within ten (10) business days following written request for consent and its receipt of all reasonably requested information on any required consent, the Directing Certificateholder will be deemed to have consented to or approved the specific matter; provided that the failure of the Directing Certificateholder to respond will not affect any future matters with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan.

 

With respect to a Serviced AB Whole Loan, prior to the occurrence of a Control Appraisal Period with respect to the related Subordinate Companion Loan, the Directing Certificateholder will not be entitled to exercise the above-described rights, and those rights will be held by the holder of the related Subordinate Companion Loan in accordance with the PSA and the related Intercreditor Agreement. However, during a Control Appraisal Period with respect to a Serviced AB Whole Loan, the Directing Certificateholder will have generally similar (although not necessarily identical) rights (including the rights described above) with respect to such Serviced AB Whole Loan as it does for the other Mortgage Loans in the issuing entity. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Serviced AB Whole Loans—Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Whole Loan” and “—Centre 425 Bellevue Whole Loan”.

 

The “Directing Certificateholder” will be (i) with respect to a Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan, the related Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder, and (ii) with respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than the Servicing Shift Mortgage Loans), the Controlling Class Certificateholder (or its representative) selected by more than 50% of the Controlling Class Certificateholders, by Certificate Balance, as determined by the certificate registrar from time to time; provided, however, that (for purposes of clause (ii)) above in this definition)

 

(1)       absent that selection, or

 

(2)       until a Directing Certificateholder is so selected, or

 

(3)       upon receipt of a notice from a majority of the Controlling Class Certificateholders, by Certificate Balance, that a Directing Certificateholder is no longer designated, the Controlling Class Certificateholder that owns the largest aggregate Certificate Balance of the Controlling Class (or its representative) will be the Directing Certificateholder;

 

provided, however, that (i) in the case of this clause (3), in the event no one holder owns the largest aggregate Certificate Balance of the Controlling Class, then there will be no Directing Certificateholder until appointed in accordance with the terms of the PSA, and (ii) the certificate administrator and the other parties to the PSA will be entitled to assume that the identity of the Directing Certificateholder has not changed until such parties receive written notice of a replacement of the Directing Certificateholder from a party holding the

 

 508

 

 

requisite interest in the Controlling Class (as confirmed by the certificate registrar), or the resignation of the then-current Directing Certificateholder.

 

The initial Directing Certificateholder is expected to be KKR Real Estate Credit Opportunity Partners Aggregator I L.P., or its affiliate.

 

In no event will the master servicer or the special servicer be required to consult with or obtain the consent of the holder of a Subordinate Companion Loan unless the holder of such Subordinate Companion Loan has delivered notice of its identity and contact information in accordance with the terms of the applicable Intercreditor Agreement (upon which notice the master servicer and the special servicer will be conclusively entitled to rely). The identity of and contact information for the holder of each Subordinate Companion Loan, as of the Closing Date, will be set forth in an exhibit to the PSA (each, an “Initial Subordinate Companion Loan Holder”). The master servicer and the special servicer will be required to consult with or obtain the consent of the applicable Initial Subordinate Companion Loan Holder, in accordance with the terms of the PSA and the applicable Intercreditor Agreement, and will be entitled to assume that the identity of the holder of the applicable Subordinate Companion Loan has not changed until written notice of the transfer of such Subordinate Companion Loan, including the identity of and contact information for the new holder thereof, is provided in accordance with the terms of the applicable Intercreditor Agreement.

 

Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder” means, with respect to the Servicing Shift Mortgage Loans, the “controlling holder”, the “directing certificateholder”, the “directing holder”, “directing lender” or any analogous concept under the related Intercreditor Agreement. Prior to the Servicing Shift Securitization Date, the Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder with respect to the Servicing Shift Mortgage Loans will be the holder of the related Controlling Companion Loan, which, in the case of the National Office Portfolio Whole Loan, is currently LCF or an affiliate and, in the case of the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Whole Loan is currently Natixis Real Estate Capital LLC, in the case of the Centre 425 Bellevue Whole Loan is currently Natixis Real Estate Capital LLC, in the case of the National Office Portfolio Whole Loan is currently LCF or an affiliate, in the case of the Totowa Commerce Center Whole Loan is currently Natixis Real Estate Capital LLC, in the case of the Bass Pro & Cabela’s Portfolio Whole Loan is currently Goldman Sachs Mortgage Company, in the case of the Hyatt Regency Princeton Whole Loan is currently Cantor Commercial Real Estate Lending, L.P., in the case of the At Home Portfolio Whole Loan is currently UBS AG, New York Branch and in the case of the Murrieta Plaza Whole Loan is currently Regions Bank. On and after the Servicing Shift Securitization Date, there will be no Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder under the PSA with respect to such Servicing Shift Whole Loan.

 

A “Controlling Class Certificateholder” is each holder (or Certificate Owner, if applicable) of a certificate of the Controlling Class as determined by the certificate registrar from time to time, upon request by any party to the PSA.

 

The “Controlling Class” will be, as of any time of determination, the most subordinate class of Control Eligible Certificates then-outstanding that has an aggregate Certificate Balance (as notionally reduced by any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts allocable to such class) at least equal to 25% of the initial Certificate Balance of that class; provided, however, that if at any time the Certificate Balances of the certificates other than the Control Eligible Certificates have been reduced to zero as a result of principal payments on the Mortgage Loans, then the Controlling Class will be the most subordinate class of Control Eligible Certificates that has a Certificate Balance greater than zero without regard to any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts. The Controlling Class as of the Closing Date will be the Class NR-RR certificates.

 

 509

 

 

The “Control Eligible Certificates” will be either of the Class D-RR, Class E-RR, Class F-RR, Class G-RR or Class NR-RR certificates.

 

The master servicer, the special servicer, the operating advisor, the certificate administrator, the trustee or any certificateholder may request that the certificate registrar determine which class of certificates is the then-current Controlling Class and the certificate registrar must thereafter provide such information to the requesting party. The depositor, the trustee, the master servicer, the special servicer, the operating advisor and, for so long as no Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Directing Certificateholder, may request that the certificate administrator provide, and the certificate administrator must so provide, a list of the holders (or Certificate Owners, if applicable) of the Controlling Class at the expense of the issuing entity. The trustee, the certificate administrator, the master servicer, the special servicer and the operating advisor may each rely on any such list so provided.

 

In the event that no Directing Certificateholder has been appointed or identified to the master servicer or the special servicer, as applicable, and the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, has attempted to obtain such information from the certificate administrator and no such entity has been identified to the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, then until such time as the new Directing Certificateholder is identified to the master servicer and special servicer, the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, will have no duty to consult with, provide notice to, or seek the approval or consent of any such Directing Certificateholder, as the case may be.

 

The Class D-RR certificateholders that are the Controlling Class Certificateholders may waive their rights as the Controlling Class Certificateholders as described in “—Control Termination Event and Consultation Termination Event” below.

 

Major Decisions

 

Except as otherwise described under “—Control Termination Event, Consultation Termination Event and Operating Advisor Consultation Event” and “—Servicing Override” below and subject to the rights of the holder of the related Companion Loan under the related Intercreditor Agreement as described under “—Rights of the Directing Certificateholder with respect to Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans or the Servicing Shift Whole Loans” below, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, neither the master servicer nor the special servicer will be permitted to take any of the following actions, as to which the Directing Certificateholder has objected in writing within ten business days (or thirty (30) days with respect to clause (xviii) of the definition of “Major Decision” below) after receipt of the related Major Decision Reporting Package (provided that if such written objection has not been received by the master servicer or the special servicer, as applicable, within such ten-business-day (or 30-day) period, the Directing Certificateholder will be deemed to have approved such action) (each of the following, a “Major Decision”):

(ix)  following a default or an event of default with respect to a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, any acceleration of the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as the case may be, or initiation of judicial, bankruptcy or similar proceedings or other exercise of remedies under the related Mortgage Loan documents or with respect to the related borrower or Mortgaged Property;

(xi) the voting on any plan of reorganization, restructuring or similar plan in the bankruptcy of a borrower;

(xv)  any approval of or consent to a grant of an easement or right of way that materially affects the use or value of a Mortgaged Property or a borrower’s ability to make payments with respect to the related Mortgage Loan or any related Companion Loan or subordination of the lien of the Mortgage Loan to such easement or right of way;

 512

 

 

Subject to the terms and conditions of this section, (a) the special servicer will process all requests for any matter that constitutes a Major Decision with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan (except for clause (xviii) of the definition of “Major Decision” which will be processed by the master servicer), (b) the special servicer will process all requests for any matter that constitutes a Special Servicer Major Decision with respect to any non-Specially Serviced Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) unless the master servicer and the special servicer have mutually agreed to have the master servicer process such request in accordance with the terms and conditions reasonably agreed to by the master servicer and special servicer, including the special servicer’s consent, (c) the master servicer will process all requests for any matter that constitutes a Master Servicer Major Decision with respect to any non-Specially Serviced Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and with respect to Specially Serviced Loans solely with respect to clause (xviii) of the definition of “Major Decision” and (d) the master servicer will process all requests for any matter that constitutes a Special Servicer Major Decision with respect to any non-Specially Serviced Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) if the master servicer and the special servicer have mutually agreed to have the master servicer process such request in accordance with the terms and conditions reasonably agreed to by the master servicer and special servicer, including the special servicer’s consent. For the avoidance of doubt, the master servicer and the special servicer have mutually agreed that the master servicer will process the items listed in clauses (i), (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (iv) of “Special Servicer Non-Major Decision” with respect to non-Specially Serviced Loans, subject to special servicer consent or deemed consent as provided in the PSA.

 

Upon receiving a request for any matter that constitutes a Special Servicer Major Decision, the master servicer will be required to forward such request to the special servicer and, unless the master servicer and the special servicer mutually agree that the master servicer will process such request in accordance with the terms and conditions reasonably agreed to by the master servicer and special servicer, including the special servicer’s consent, the special servicer will be required to process such request and the master servicer will have no further obligation with respect to such request or the related Special Servicer Major Decision.

 

With respect to any borrower request or other action on non-Specially Serviced Loans that is not a Special Servicer Non-Major Decision or a Major Decision, the master servicer will not be required to obtain the consent of or consult with the special servicer, any Directing Certificateholder or the operating advisor.

 

Prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, the master servicer or the special servicer, as applicable, will be required to provide each Major Decision Reporting Package to the operating advisor promptly after the master servicer or the special servicer, as applicable, receives the Directing Certificateholder’s approval or deemed approval of such Major Decision Reporting Package; provided, however, that with respect to any non-Specially Serviced Loan no Major Decision Reporting Package will be required to be delivered prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event (whether or not a Control Termination Event is continuing), the master servicer or the special servicer, as applicable, will be required to provide each Major Decision Reporting Package to the operating advisor simultaneously with the master servicer’s or the special servicer’s written request, as applicable, for the operating advisor’s input regarding the related Major Decision (which written request and Major Decision Reporting Package may be delivered in one notice), as set forth under “—Control Termination Event, Consultation Termination Event and Operating Advisor Consultation Event” below. With respect to any particular Major Decision and/or related Major Decision

 

 513

 

 

Reporting Package or any Asset Status Report required to be delivered by the master servicer or special servicer to the operating advisor, the master servicer or the special servicer, as applicable, will be required to make available to the operating advisor a servicing officer with the relevant knowledge regarding the applicable Mortgage Loan and such Major Decision and/or Asset Status Report in order to address reasonable questions that the operating advisor may have relating to, among other things, such Major Decision and/or Asset Status Report.

 

Major Decision Reporting Package” means, with respect to any Major Decision for which it is processing, a written report by the master servicer or the special servicer, as applicable, describing in reasonable detail (i) the background and circumstances requiring action of the master servicer or the special servicer, as applicable, and (ii) the proposed course of action recommended.

 

Master Servicer Major Decision” means any Major Decision under clauses (xvi) through (xxi) of the definition of “Major Decision”.

 

Special Servicer Major Decision” means any Major Decision under clauses (i) through (xv) of the definition of “Major Decision”.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to a Serviced AB Whole Loan, prior to the occurrence of a Control Appraisal Period with respect to the related Subordinate Companion Loan, the Directing Certificateholder will not be entitled to exercise the rights described in this section, and the rights to exercise any Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Major Decision or Centre 425 Bellevue Major Decision, as applicable with respect to the related Whole Loan will be held by the holder of the related Subordinate Companion Loan in accordance with the PSA and the related Intercreditor Agreement. However, during a Control Appraisal Period with respect to a Serviced AB Whole Loan, the Directing Certificateholder will have generally similar (although not necessarily identical) rights (including the rights described above) with respect to such Serviced AB Whole Loan as it does for the other Mortgage Loans in the issuing entity. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Serviced AB Whole Loans—Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Whole Loan” and “—Centre 425 Bellevue Whole Loan”.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder will remain entitled to receive any notices, reports or information to which it is entitled, and the special servicer and any other applicable party will consult (on a non-binding basis) with the Directing Certificateholder in connection with any Major Decision in accordance with the PSA. After the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder (other than the Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder) will have no direction, consultation or consent rights in connection with any Major Decision and no right to receive any notices, reports or information (other than notices, reports or information required to be delivered to all Certificateholders) or any other rights as Directing Certificateholder.

 

Asset Status Report

 

So long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Directing Certificateholder will have the right to disapprove the Asset Status Report prepared by the special servicer with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan (other than with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is an Excluded Loan or, with respect to a Serviced AB Whole Loan, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Appraisal Period). If a Consultation

 

 514

 

 

Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Directing Certificateholder will have no right to consult with the special servicer with respect to the Asset Status Reports. See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Asset Status Report” above.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to a Serviced AB Whole Loan, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Appraisal Period with respect to the related Subordinate Companion Loan, the Directing Certificateholder will not be entitled to exercise the control and consent rights described in this section, and those rights will be held by the holder of the related Subordinate Companion Loan in accordance with the PSA and the related Intercreditor Agreement. However, during a Control Appraisal Period with respect to a Serviced AB Whole Loan, the Directing Certificateholder will have generally similar (although not necessarily identical) rights (including the rights described above) with respect to such Serviced AB Whole Loan as it does for the other Mortgage Loans in the issuing entity. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Serviced AB Whole Loans—Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Whole Loan” and “—Centre 425 Bellevue Whole Loan”.

 

Replacement of the Special Servicer

 

With respect to any Mortgage Loan other than (i) a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, (ii) an Excluded Loan or (iii) a Serviced AB Whole Loan (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Appraisal Period under the related Intercreditor Agreement) and for so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Directing Certificateholder will have the right to replace the special servicer with or without cause as described under “—Replacement of the Special Servicer Without Cause” and “—Termination of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer for Cause—Servicer Termination Events” below.

 

Control Termination Event, Consultation Termination Event and Operating Advisor Consultation Event

 

With respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan or an Excluded Loan) or Serviced Whole Loan and subject to the rights of any Companion Holder under an Intercreditor Agreement, if a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, but for so long as no Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the special servicer will not be required to obtain the consent of the Directing Certificateholder with respect to any of the Major Decisions or Asset Status Reports, but will be required to consult with the Directing Certificateholder in connection with any Major Decision or Asset Status Report (or any other matter for which the consent of the Directing Certificateholder would have been required or for which the Directing Certificateholder would have the right to direct the special servicer if no Control Termination Event had occurred and was continuing) and to consider alternative actions recommended by the Directing Certificateholder, in respect of such Major Decision or Asset Status Report (or such other matter). Such consultation will not be binding on the special servicer. In the event the special servicer receives no response from the Directing Certificateholder within 10 business days following its written request for input on any required consultation, the special servicer will not be obligated to consult with the Directing Certificateholder on the specific matter; provided, however, that the failure of the Directing Certificateholder to respond will not relieve the special servicer from consulting with the Directing Certificateholder on any future matters with respect to the related Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan or any Excluded Loan) or Serviced Whole Loan. With respect to any Excluded Special Servicer Loan (that is not also an Excluded Loan), if any, the Directing Certificateholder (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event) will be required to select an Excluded Special Servicer with respect to

 

 515

 

 

such Excluded Special Servicer Loan. After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, if at any time the applicable Excluded Special Servicer Loan is also an Excluded Loan or if the Directing Certificateholder is entitled to appoint the Excluded Special Servicer but does not so appoint within 30 days of notice of such resignation, the resigning special servicer will be required to select the related Excluded Special Servicer. The resigning special servicer will not have any liability with respect to the actions or inactions of the applicable Excluded Special Servicer or with respect to the identity of the applicable Excluded Special Servicer. The special servicer will be required to provide each Major Decision Reporting Package to the operating advisor (a) prior to the occurrence of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, promptly after the special servicer receives the Directing Certificateholder’s approval or deemed approval with respect to such Major Decision or (b) following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, simultaneously upon providing such Major Decision Reporting Package to the Directing Certificateholder; provided, however, that with respect to any non-Specially Serviced Loan no Major Decision Reporting Package will be required to be delivered prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event. With respect to any particular Major Decision and/or related Major Decision Reporting Package or any Asset Status Report required to be delivered by the special servicer to the operating advisor, the special servicer will be required to make available to the operating advisor a servicing officer with the relevant knowledge regarding any Mortgage Loan and such Major Decision and/or Asset Status Report in order to address reasonable questions that the operating advisor may have relating to, among other things, such Major Decision and/or Asset Status Report and potential conflicts of interest with respect to such Major Decision and/or Asset Status Report.

 

In addition, if an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing, the special servicer will also be required to consult with the operating advisor in connection with any Major Decision processed by the special servicer and for which it has delivered to the operating advisor a Major Decision Reporting Package (and such other matters that are subject to consultation rights of the operating advisor pursuant to the PSA) and to consider alternative actions recommended by the operating advisor in respect of such Major Decision; provided that such consultation is on a non-binding basis. In the event the special servicer receives no response from the operating advisor within 10 business days following the later of (i) its written request for input (which request is required to include the related Major Decision Reporting Package) on any required consultation and (ii) delivery of all such additional information reasonably requested by the operating advisor related to the subject matter of such consultation, the special servicer will not be obligated to consult with the operating advisor on the specific matter; provided, however, that the failure of the operating advisor to respond will not relieve the special servicer from consulting with the operating advisor on any future matters with respect to the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan or any other Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this prospectus, with respect to any applicable Excluded Loan (regardless of whether an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing), the special servicer or the related Excluded Special Servicer, as applicable, will be required to consult with the operating advisor, on a non-binding basis, in connection with the related transactions involving proposed Major Decisions that it is processing and consider alternative actions recommended by the operating advisor, in respect thereof, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the PSA for consulting with the operating advisor.

 

If a Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, no class of certificates will act as the Controlling Class, and the Directing Certificateholder will not have any consultation or consent rights under the PSA or any right to receive any notices, reports or information (other than notices, reports or information required to be delivered to all

 

 516

 

 

Certificateholders) or any other rights as Directing Certificateholder under the PSA. The special servicer will nonetheless be required to consult with only the operating advisor in connection with Major Decisions, asset status reports and other material special servicing actions to the extent set forth in the PSA, and no Controlling Class Certificateholder will be recognized or have any right to approve or be consulted with respect to asset status reports or material special servicer actions.

 

A “Control Termination Event” will occur when (i) the Class D-RR certificates have a Certificate Balance (taking into account the application of any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balance of such class) of less than 25% of the initial Certificate Balance of that class or (ii) a holder of the Class D-RR certificates is the majority Controlling Class Certificateholder and has irrevocably waived its right, in writing, to exercise any of the rights of the Controlling Class Certificateholder and such rights have not been reinstated to a successor controlling class certificateholder as described below; provided that no Control Termination Event may occur with respect to a Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder and the term “Control Termination Event” will not be applicable to a Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder; provided, however, that a Control Termination Event will not be deemed continuing in the event that the Certificate Balances of the certificates other than the Control Eligible Certificates have been reduced to zero as a result of principal payments on the Mortgage Loans.

 

A “Consultation Termination Event” will occur when (i) there is no class of Control Eligible Certificates that has a then-outstanding Certificate Balance at least equal to 25% of the initial Certificate Balance of that class, in each case, without regard to the application of any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts; or (ii) a holder of the Class D-RR certificates is the majority Controlling Class Certificateholder and has irrevocably waived its right, in writing, to exercise any of the rights of the Controlling Class Certificateholder and such rights have not been reinstated to a successor controlling class certificateholder pursuant to the terms of the PSA; provided that no Consultation Termination Event resulting solely from the operation of clause (ii) will be deemed to have existed or be in continuance with respect to a successor holder of the Class D-RR certificates that has not irrevocably waived its right to exercise any of the rights of the Controlling Class Certificateholder; provided that no Consultation Termination Event may occur with respect to a Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder and the term “Consultation Termination Event” will not be applicable to a Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder; provided, however, that a Consultation Termination Event will not be deemed continuing in the event that the Certificate Balances of the certificates other than the Control Eligible Certificates have been reduced to zero as a result of principal payments on the Mortgage Loans.

 

The Directing Certificateholder will not have any consent or consultation rights with respect to any Mortgage Loan determined to be an Excluded Loan. Notwithstanding the proviso to each of the definitions of “Control Termination Event” and “Consultation Termination Event”, in respect of the servicing of any such Excluded Loan, a Control Termination Event will be deemed to have occurred and be continuing and Consultation Termination Event will be deemed to have occurred with respect to such Excluded Loan.

 

With respect to a Serviced AB Whole Loan, prior to the occurrence of a Control Appraisal Period with respect to the related Subordinate Companion Loan, the Directing Certificateholder will not be entitled to exercise the control and consent rights described in this section, and those rights will be held by holder of the related Subordinate Companion Loan in accordance with the PSA and the related Intercreditor Agreement. However, during a Control Appraisal Period with respect to a Serviced AB Whole Loan, the Directing Certificateholder will have generally similar (although not necessarily identical) rights (including the rights described above) with respect to such Serviced AB Whole Loan as it

 

 517

 

 

does for the other Mortgage Loans in the issuing entity. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Serviced AB Whole Loans—Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Whole Loan” and “—Centre 425 Bellevue Whole Loan”.

 

At any time that the Controlling Class Certificateholder is the holder of a majority of the Class D-RR certificates and the Class D-RR certificates are the Controlling Class, it may waive its right (a) to appoint the Directing Certificateholder and (b) to exercise any of the Directing Certificateholder’s rights set forth in the PSA by irrevocable written notice delivered to the depositor, certificate administrator, master servicer, special servicer and operating advisor. During such time, the special servicer will be required to consult with only the operating advisor in connection with asset status reports and material special servicing actions to the extent set forth in the PSA, and no Controlling Class Certificateholder will be recognized or have any right to replace the special servicer or approve or be consulted with respect to asset status reports or material special servicer actions. Any such waiver will remain effective until such time as the majority Controlling Class Certificateholder sells or transfers all or a portion of its interest in the certificates to an unaffiliated third party if such unaffiliated third party then holds the majority of the Controlling Class after giving effect to such transfer. Following any such sale or transfer of Class D-RR certificates, the successor Class D-RR certificateholder that is the majority Controlling Class Certificateholder will be reinstated as, and will again have the rights of, the Controlling Class Certificateholder without regard to any prior waiver by the predecessor certificateholder that was the majority Controlling Class Certificateholder. The successor Class D-RR certificateholder that is the Controlling Class Certificateholder will also have the right to irrevocably waive its right to appoint the Directing Certificateholder and to exercise any of the rights of the Controlling Class Certificateholder. In the event of any transfer of the Class D-RR certificates by a Controlling Class Certificateholder that had irrevocably waived its rights as described in this paragraph, the successor Controlling Class Certificateholder that purchased such Class D-RR certificates, even if it does not waive its rights as described in the preceding sentence, will not have any consent rights with respect to any Mortgage Loan that became a Specially Serviced Loan prior to such successor Controlling Class Certificateholder’s purchase of such Class D-RR certificates and had not become a Corrected Loan prior to such purchase until such Mortgage Loan becomes a Corrected Loan.

 

An “Operating Advisor Consultation Event” will occur when the Certificate Balances of the Class D-RR, Class E-RR, Class F-RR, Class G-RR and Class NR-RR certificates in the aggregate (taking into account the application of any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances of such classes) is 25% or less of the initial Certificate Balances of such classes in the aggregate.

 

For a description of certain restrictions on any modification, waiver or amendment to the Mortgage Loan documents, see “—Modifications, Waivers and Amendments” above.

 

Servicing Override

 

In the event that the master servicer or the special servicer, as applicable, determines that immediate action with respect to any Major Decision (or any other matter requiring consent of the Directing Certificateholder with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event in the PSA (or any matter requiring consultation with the Directing Certificateholder or the operating advisor)) is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders (and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, the interest of the Certificateholders and the holders of any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan), as a collective whole (taking into account the pari passu nature of any Companion Loan), the master servicer or special servicer, as

 

 518

 

 

the case may be, may take any such action without waiting for the Directing Certificateholder’s response (or without waiting to consult with the Directing Certificateholder or the operating advisor, as the case may be); provided that the special servicer or master servicer, as applicable, provides the Directing Certificateholder (or the operating advisor, if applicable) with prompt written notice following such action including a reasonably detailed explanation of the basis for such action.

 

Similarly, with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan, in the event that the master servicer or the special servicer, as applicable, determines that immediate action with respect to any Major Decision (or any other matter requiring consent of the related Subordinate Companion Loan Holder prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Appraisal Period (or any matter requiring consultation with the related Subordinate Companion Loan Holder)) is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders, as a collective whole (taking into account the subordinate nature of the related Subordinate Companion Loan), the master servicer or the special servicer, as the case may be, may take any such action without waiting for the related Companion Holder’s response (or without waiting to consult with the related Companion Holder); provided that the special servicer or master servicer, as applicable, provides the related Subordinate Companion Loan Holder with prompt written notice following such action including a reasonably detailed explanation of the basis for such action.

 

In addition, neither the master servicer nor the special servicer (i) will be required to take or refrain from taking any action pursuant to instructions or objections from the Directing Certificateholder, or, in the case of a Serviced AB Whole Loan, the holder of the related Subordinate Companion Loan or (ii) may follow any advice or consultation provided by the Directing Certificateholder or the holder of a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (or its representative), or, in the case of a Serviced AB Whole Loan, the holder of the related Subordinate Companion Loan that would (1) cause it to violate any applicable law, the related Mortgage Loan documents, any related Intercreditor Agreement, the PSA, including the Servicing Standard, or the REMIC provisions, (2) expose the master servicer, the special servicer, the certificate administrator, the operating advisor, the asset representations reviewer, the issuing entity or the trustee to liability, (3) materially expand the scope of responsibilities of the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, under the PSA or (4) cause the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, to act, or fail to act, in a manner which in the reasonable judgment of the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, is not in the best interests of the Certificateholders.

 

Rights of the Directing Certificateholder appointed by the Controlling Class with respect to Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans or the Servicing Shift Whole Loans

 

With respect to any Non-Serviced Whole Loan or Servicing Shift Whole Loan, the Directing Certificateholder appointed by the Controlling Class will not be entitled to exercise the rights described above, but such rights, or rights substantially similar to those rights, will be exercisable by the related Non-Serviced Directing Certificateholder or Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder, as applicable. The issuing entity, as the holder of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan or Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan, has consultation rights with respect to certain major decisions relating to the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan and, other than in respect of an Excluded Loan, so long as no Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Directing Certificateholder appointed by the Controlling Class will be entitled to exercise such consultation rights of the issuing entity pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement. In addition, other than in respect of an applicable Excluded Loan, so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Directing Certificateholder appointed by the Controlling Class may have

 

 519

 

 

certain consent rights in connection with a sale of a Non-Serviced Whole Loan or Servicing Shift Whole Loan that has become a defaulted loan under the related Non-Serviced PSA. See also “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loans”, “—The Non-Serviced AB Whole Loans” and “—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans”.

 

Rights of the Holders of Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loans

 

With respect to a Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan that has a related Pari Passu Companion Loan, the holder of the related Pari Passu Companion Loan has consultation rights with respect to certain Major Decisions and notice and information rights in connection with the sale of the related Serviced Whole Loan if it has become a Defaulted Loan to the extent described in “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loans”, “—The Serviced AB Whole Loans” and “—Sale of Defaulted Loans and REO Properties”.

 

Limitation on Liability of Directing Certificateholder

 

The Directing Certificateholder will not be liable to the issuing entity or the Certificateholders for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action, or for errors in judgment. However, the Directing Certificateholder will not be protected against any liability to the Controlling Class Certificateholders that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations or duties owed to the Controlling Class Certificateholders.

 

Each Certificateholder will acknowledge and agree, by its acceptance of its certificates, that the Directing Certificateholder appointed by the Controlling Class:

 

(a) may have special relationships and interests that conflict with those of holders of one or more classes of certificates;

 

(b) may act solely in the interests of the holders of the Controlling Class;

 

(c) does not have any liability or duties to the holders of any class of certificates other than the Controlling Class;

 

(d) may take actions that favor the interests of the holders of one or more classes including the Controlling Class over the interests of the holders of one or more other classes of certificates; and

 

(e) will have no liability whatsoever for having so acted as set forth in (a) – (d) above, and no Certificateholder may take any action whatsoever against the Directing Certificateholder or any director, officer, employee, agent or principal of the Directing Certificateholder for having so acted.

 

The taking of, or refraining from taking, any action by the master servicer or the special servicer in accordance with the direction of or approval of the Directing Certificateholder, which does not violate the terms of any Mortgage Loan, any law, the Servicing Standard or the provisions of the PSA or the related Intercreditor Agreement, will not result in any liability on the part of the master servicer or special servicer.

 

Each Certificateholder will acknowledge and agree, by its acceptance of its certificates, that the holders of a Non-Serviced Companion Loan or a Companion Loan that is part of the Servicing Shift Whole Loan (or Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan, prior to the

 

 520

 

 

occurrence and continuance of a Control Appraisal Period) or their respective designees (e.g., the related Non-Serviced Directing Certificateholder) will have limitations on liability with respect to actions taken in connection with the related Mortgage Loan similar to the limitations of the Directing Certificateholder described above pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement and the related Non-Serviced PSA. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loans” and “—The Non-Serviced AB Whole Loans”.

 

The Operating Advisor

 

General

 

The operating advisor will act solely as a contracting party to the extent set forth in the PSA, and in accordance with the Operating Advisor Standard, and will have no fiduciary duty to any party. The operating advisor’s duties will be limited to its specific duties under the PSA, and the operating advisor will have no duty or liability to any particular class of certificates or any Certificateholder. The operating advisor is not the special servicer or a sub-servicer and will not be charged with changing the outcome on any particular Specially Serviced Loan. By purchasing a certificate, potential investors acknowledge and agree that there could be a variety of activities or decisions made with respect to, or multiple strategies to resolve any Specially Serviced Loan and that the goal of the operating advisor’s participation is to provide additional input relating to the special servicer’s compliance with the Servicing Standard in making its determinations as to which strategy to execute.

 

Potential investors should note that the operating advisor is not an “advisor” for any purpose other than as specifically set forth in the PSA and is not an advisor to any person, including without limitation any Certificateholder. For the avoidance of doubt, the operating advisor is not an “investment adviser” within the meaning of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. See “Risk Factors—Other Risks Relating to the Certificates—Your Lack of Control Over the Issuing Entity and the Mortgage Loans Can Impact Your Investment”.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the operating advisor will generally have no obligations or consultation rights as operating advisor under the PSA for this transaction with respect to any Non-Serviced Whole Loan (which will be serviced pursuant to the related Non-Serviced PSA), Servicing Shift Whole Loan or any related REO Properties. Furthermore, the operating advisor will have no obligation or responsibility at any time to review or assess the actions of the master servicer for compliance with the Servicing Standard, and the operating advisor will not be required to consider such master servicer actions in connection with any Operating Advisor Annual Report.

 

Duties of Operating Advisor at All Times

 

With respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan or Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Whole Loan (other than a Servicing Shift Whole Loan), the operating advisor’s obligations will generally consist of the following:

 

(a) reviewing the actions of the special servicer with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan to the extent described in this prospectus and required under the PSA;

 

(b) reviewing (i) all reports by the special servicer made available to Privileged Persons that are posted on the certificate administrator’s website and (ii) each Asset Status Report (after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event) and Final Asset Status Report;

 

 521

 

 

(c) recalculating and verifying the accuracy of the mathematical calculations and the corresponding application of the non-discretionary portion of the applicable formulas required to be utilized in connection with Appraisal Reduction Amounts, Collateral Deficiency Amounts and net present value calculations used in the special servicer’s determination of what course of action to take in connection with the workout or liquidation of a Specially Serviced Loan, as described below; and

 

(d) preparing an annual report (if any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan or Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Whole Loan (other than a Servicing Shift Whole Loan) was a Specially Serviced Loan at any time during the prior calendar year or if the operating advisor was entitled to consult with the special servicer with respect to any Major Decision during the prior calendar year) generally in the form attached to this prospectus as Annex C, to be provided to the certificate administrator (and made available through the certificate administrator’s website) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (and made available through the 17g-5 Information Provider’s website), as described below under “—Annual Report”; below.

 

In connection with the performance of the duties described in clause (c) above:

 

(i) after the calculation has been finalized (and, if an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing, prior to the utilization by the special servicer, the special servicer will be required to deliver the foregoing calculations together with information and support materials (including such additional information reasonably requested by the operating advisor to confirm the mathematical accuracy of such calculations, but not including any Privileged Information) to the operating advisor;

 

(ii) if the operating advisor does not agree with the mathematical calculations or the application of the applicable non-discretionary portions of the formula required to be utilized for such calculation, the operating advisor and the special servicer will be required to consult with each other in order to resolve any material inaccuracy in the mathematical calculations or the application of the non-discretionary portions of the related formula in arriving at those mathematical calculations or any disagreement; and

 

(iii) if the operating advisor and the special servicer are not able to resolve such matters, the operating advisor will be required to promptly notify the certificate administrator and the certificate administrator will be required to examine the calculations and supporting materials provided by the special servicer and the operating advisor and determine which calculation is to apply.

 

Prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, the operating advisor’s review will be limited to an after-the-action review of the reports, calculations and materials described above (together with any additional information and material reviewed by the operating advisor), and, therefore, it will have no involvement with respect to the determination and execution of Major Decisions and other similar actions that the special servicer may perform under the PSA and will have no obligations at any time with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan. In addition, with respect to the operating advisor’s review of net present value calculations as described above, the operating advisor’s recalculation will not take into account the reasonableness of special servicer’s property and borrower performance assumptions or other similar discretionary portions of the net present value calculation.

 

 522

 

 

The “Operating Advisor Standard” means the requirement that the operating advisor must act solely on behalf of the issuing entity and in the best interest of, and for the benefit of, the Certificateholders and, with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan (other than a Servicing Shift Whole Loan) for the benefit of the holders of the related Companion Loan (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and Companion Holders constituted a single lender), and not to holders of any particular class of certificates (as determined by the operating advisor in the exercise of its good faith and reasonable judgment), but without regard to any conflict of interest arising from any relationship that the operating advisor or any of its affiliates may have with any of the underlying borrowers, any sponsor, any mortgage loan seller, the depositor, the master servicer, the special servicer, the asset representations reviewer, the Directing Certificateholder, any Certificateholder or any of their affiliates. The operating advisor will perform all of its duties under the PSA in accordance with the Operating Advisor Standard.

 

Annual Report

 

Based on the operating advisor’s review of (i) any assessment of compliance report, any Attestation Report and other information delivered to the operating advisor by the special servicer or made available to Privileged Persons that are posted on the certificate administrator’s website during the prior calendar year, (ii) prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan, any related Final Asset Status Report or any approved or deemed approved Major Decision Reporting Package provided to the operating advisor with respect to any Mortgage Loan and (iii) after the occurrence and continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, any Asset Status Report and any Major Decision Reporting Package provided to the operating advisor, the operating advisor will ((i) if any Mortgage Loans (other than a Servicing Shift Whole Loan) were Specially Serviced Loans at any time during the prior calendar year or (ii) if the operating advisor was entitled to consult with the special servicer with respect to any Major Decision) prepare an annual report generally in the form attached to this prospectus as Annex C (the “Operating Advisor Annual Report”) to be provided to the 17g-5 Information Provider (and made available through the 17g-5 Information Provider’s website) and the certificate administrator for the benefit of the Certificateholders (and made available through the certificate administrator’s website) within 120 days of the end of the prior calendar year that (a) sets forth whether the operating advisor believes, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that the special servicer is operating in compliance with the Servicing Standard with respect to its performance of its duties under the PSA with respect to Specially Serviced Loans (and, after the occurrence and continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, with respect to Major Decisions on non-Specially Serviced Loans) during the prior calendar year on an “asset-level basis” and (b) identifies (1) which, if any, standards the operating advisor believes, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, the special servicer has failed to comply and (2) any material deviations from the special servicer’s obligations under the PSA with respect to the resolution or liquidation of any Specially Serviced Loan or REO Property (other than with respect to any REO Property related to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan or any Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that in the event the special servicer is replaced, the Operating Advisor Annual Report will only relate to the entity that was acting as special servicer as of December 31 in the prior calendar year and is continuing in such capacity through the date of such Operating Advisor Annual Report. In preparing any Operating Advisor Annual Report, the operating advisor will not be required to report on instances of non-compliance with, or deviations from, the Servicing Standard or the special servicer’s obligations under the PSA that the operating advisor determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, to be immaterial.

 

 523

 

 

Only as used in connection with the Operating Advisor Annual Report, the term “asset-level basis” refers to the special servicer’s performance of its duties with respect to the resolution or liquidation of Specially Serviced Loans (and, after the occurrence and continuance of an Operating Advisor Consultation Event, with respect to Major Decisions on non-Specially Serviced Loans) under the PSA, taking into account the special servicer’s specific duties under the PSA as well as the extent to which those duties were performed in accordance with the Servicing Standard, with reasonable consideration by the operating advisor of any assessment of compliance report, Attestation Report, Major Decision Reporting Package, Asset Status Report, Final Asset Status Report and any other information delivered to the operating advisor by the special servicer (other than any communications between the Directing Certificateholder and the special servicer that would be Privileged Information) pursuant to the PSA.

 

The special servicer must be given an opportunity to review any annual report produced by the operating advisor at least 5 business days prior to its delivery to the certificate administrator and the 17g-5 Information Provider; provided that the operating advisor will have no obligation to adopt any comments to such annual report that are provided by the special servicer.

 

In each Operating Advisor Annual Report, the operating advisor will identify any material deviations (i) from the Servicing Standard and (ii) from the special servicer’s obligations under the PSA with respect to the resolution or liquidation of Specially Serviced Loans or REO Properties that the special servicer is responsible for servicing under the PSA (other than with respect to any REO Property related to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan or Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan) based on the limited review required in the PSA. Each Operating Advisor Annual Report will be required to comply with the confidentiality requirements, subject to certain exceptions, each as described in this prospectus and as provided in the PSA regarding Privileged Information.

 

The ability to perform the duties of the operating advisor and the quality and the depth of any Operating Advisor Annual Report will be dependent upon the timely receipt of information prepared or made available by others and the accuracy and the completeness of such information. In addition, in no event will the operating advisor have the power to compel any transaction party to take, or refrain from taking, any action. It is possible that the lack of access to Privileged Information may limit or prohibit the operating advisor from performing its duties under the PSA, in which case any Operating Advisor Annual Report will describe any resulting limitations, and the operating advisor will not be subject to any liability arising from such limitations or prohibitions. The operating advisor will be entitled to conclusively rely on the accuracy and completeness of any information it is provided without liability for any such reliance thereunder.

 

Additional Duties of Operating Advisor While an Operating Advisor Consultation Event Has Occurred and Is Continuing

 

With respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Whole Loan, after the operating advisor has received notice that an Operating Advisor Consultation Event has occurred and is continuing, in addition to the duties described above, the operating advisor will be required to perform the following additional duties:

 

to consult (on a non-binding basis) with the special servicer (in person or remotely via electronic, telephonic or other mutually agreeable communication) in respect of the Asset Status Reports in accordance with the Operating Advisor Standard, as described under “—Asset Status Report”; and

 

 524

 

 

to consult (on a non-binding basis) with the special servicer to the extent it has received a Major Decision Reporting Package (in person or remotely via electronic, telephonic or other mutually agreeable communication) in accordance with the Operating Advisor Standard with respect to Major Decisions processed by the special servicer as described under “—The Directing Certificateholder—Major Decisions”.

 

Recommendation of the Replacement of the Special Servicer

 

If at any time the operating advisor determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that (1) the special servicer is not performing its duties as required under the PSA or is otherwise not acting in accordance with the Servicing Standard, and (2) the replacement of the special servicer would be in the best interest of the Certificateholders as a collective whole, then the operating advisor may recommend the replacement of the special servicer and deliver a report supporting such recommendation in the manner described in “—Replacement of Special Servicer After Operating Advisor Recommendation and Certificateholder Vote”.

 

Eligibility of Operating Advisor

 

The operating advisor will be required to be an Eligible Operating Advisor at all times during the term of the PSA. “Eligible Operating Advisor” means an institution:

 

(i) that is a special servicer or operating advisor on a commercial mortgage-backed securities transaction rated by the Rating Agencies (including, in the case of the operating advisor, this transaction) but has not been a special servicer or operating advisor on a transaction for which any Rating Agency has qualified, downgraded or withdrawn its rating or ratings of one or more classes of certificates for such transaction citing servicing or other relevant concerns with the operating advisor in its capacity as the special servicer or operating advisor, as applicable, as the sole or a material factor in such rating action;

 

(ii) that can and will make the representations and warranties of the operating advisor set forth in the PSA;

 

(iii) that is not (and is not affiliated with) the depositor, the trustee, the certificate administrator, the master servicer, the special servicer, a mortgage loan seller, a Borrower Party, the Directing Certificateholder or a depositor, a trustee, a certificate administrator, the master servicer or the special servicer with respect to the securitization of a Companion Loan, or any of their respective affiliates;

 

(iv) that has not been paid by the special servicer or successor special servicer any fees, compensation or other remuneration (x) in respect of its obligations under the PSA or (y) for the appointment or recommendation for replacement of a successor special servicer to become the special servicer;

 

(v) that (x) has been regularly engaged in the business of analyzing and advising clients in commercial mortgage-backed securities matters and has at least five years of experience in collateral analysis and loss projections, and (y) has at least five years of experience in commercial real estate asset management and experience in the workout and management of distressed commercial real estate assets; and

 

 525

 

 

(vi) that does not directly or indirectly, through one or more affiliates or otherwise, own or have derivative exposure in any interest in any certificates, any Mortgage Loans, any Companion Loan or any securities backed by a Companion Loan or otherwise have any financial interest in the securitization transaction to which the PSA relates, other than in fees from its role as operating advisor and asset representations reviewer (to the extent it also acts as the asset representations reviewer).

 

Other Obligations of Operating Advisor

 

At all times, subject to the Privileged Information Exception, the operating advisor and its affiliates will be obligated to keep confidential any information appropriately labeled “Privileged Information” received from the special servicer or the Directing Certificateholder in connection with the Directing Certificateholder’s exercise of any rights under the PSA (including, without limitation, in connection with any Asset Status Report) or otherwise in connection with the transaction, except under the circumstances described below. As used in this prospectus, “Privileged Information” means any (i) correspondence between the Directing Certificateholder and the special servicer related to any Specially Serviced Loan (other than with respect to an Excluded Loan) or the exercise of the Directing Certificateholder’s consent or consultation rights under the PSA, (ii) strategically sensitive information (including any such information contained within an Asset Status Report) that the special servicer has reasonably determined could compromise the issuing entity’s position in any ongoing or future negotiations with the related borrower or other interested party and that is labeled or otherwise identified as Privileged Information by the special servicer and (iii) information subject to attorney-client privilege.

 

The operating advisor is required to keep all such labeled Privileged Information confidential and may not disclose such labeled Privileged Information to any person (including Certificateholders other than the Directing Certificateholder), other than (1) to the extent expressly required by the PSA, to the other parties to the PSA with a notice indicating that such information is Privileged Information (2) pursuant to a Privileged Information Exception, or (3) where necessary to support specific findings or conclusions concerning allegations of deviations from the Servicing Standard (i) in the Operating Advisor Annual Report or (ii) in connection with a recommendation by the operating advisor to replace the special servicer. Each party to the PSA that receives Privileged Information from the operating advisor with a notice stating that such information is Privileged Information may not disclose such Privileged Information to any person without the prior written consent of the special servicer and, unless a Control Termination Event has occurred, the Directing Certificateholder (with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than a Non-Serviced Whole Loan and other than any applicable Excluded Loan) other than pursuant to a Privileged Information Exception. In addition and for the avoidance of doubt, while the operating advisor may serve in a similar capacity with respect to other securitizations that involve the same parties or borrowers involved in this securitization, the knowledge of the operating advisor gained from such other securitizations will not be imputed to the operating advisor in its role in this securitization.

 

Privileged Information Exception” means, with respect to any Privileged Information, at any time (a) such Privileged Information becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure directly or indirectly by the party restricted from disclosing such Privileged Information (the “Restricted Party”), (b) it is reasonable and necessary for the Restricted Party to disclose such Privileged Information in working with legal counsel, auditors, taxing authorities or other governmental agencies, (c) such Privileged Information was already known to such Restricted Party and not otherwise subject to a confidentiality

  

 526

 

 

obligation and/or (d) the Restricted Party is (in the case of the master servicer, the special servicer, the operating advisor, the asset representations reviewer, the certificate administrator and the trustee, as evidenced by evidence as set forth in the PSA (which will be an additional expense of the issuing entity) delivered to each of the master servicer, the special servicer, the Directing Certificateholder, the operating advisor, the asset representations reviewer, the certificate administrator and the trustee) required by law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree to disclose such information.

 

Neither the operating advisor nor any of its affiliates may make any investment in any class of certificates.

 

Delegation of Operating Advisor’s Duties

 

The operating advisor may delegate its duties to agents or subcontractors in accordance with the PSA to the extent such agents or subcontractors satisfy clauses (iii), (iv) and (vi) of the definition of “Eligible Operating Advisor”; however, the operating advisor will remain obligated and primarily liable for any actions required to be performed by it under the PSA without diminution of such obligation or liability or related obligation or liability by virtue of such delegation or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from any person acting as its agents or subcontractor to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the operating advisor alone were performing its obligations under the PSA.

 

Termination of the Operating Advisor With Cause

 

The following constitute operating advisor termination events under the PSA (each, an “Operating Advisor Termination Event”), whether any such event is voluntary or involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body:

 

(a) any failure by the operating advisor to observe or perform in any material respect any of its covenants or agreements or the material breach of any of its representations or warranties under the PSA, which failure continues unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, is given to the operating advisor by any party to the PSA or to the operating advisor, the certificate administrator and the trustee by the holders of certificates having greater than 25% of the aggregate Voting Rights; provided that with respect to any such failure which is not curable within such 30 day period, the operating advisor will have an additional cure period of 30 days to effect such cure so long as it has commenced to cure such failure within the initial 30 day period and has provided the trustee and the certificate administrator with an officer’s certificate certifying that it has diligently pursued, and is continuing to pursue, such cure;

 

(b) any failure by the operating advisor to perform in accordance with the Operating Advisor Standard which failure continues unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, is given to the operating advisor by any party to the PSA;

 

(c) any failure by the operating advisor to be an Eligible Operating Advisor, which failure continues unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, is given to the operating advisor by any party to the PSA;

 

(d) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary case under any present or future federal or state

 

 527

 

 

bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law for the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, was entered against the operating advisor, and such decree or order remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days;

 

(e) the operating advisor consents to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator or liquidation committee in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities, voluntary liquidation, or similar proceedings of or relating to the operating advisor or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property; or

 

(f)  the operating advisor admits in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, files a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspends payment of its obligations.

 

Upon receipt by the certificate administrator of notice of the occurrence of any Operating Advisor Termination Event, the certificate administrator will be required to promptly provide written notice to all Certificateholders electronically by posting such notice on its internet website and by mail, unless the certificate administrator has received notice that such Operating Advisor Termination Event has been remedied.

 

Rights Upon Operating Advisor Termination Event

 

After the occurrence of an Operating Advisor Termination Event, the trustee may, and upon the written direction of Certificateholders representing at least 25% of the Voting Rights (taking into account the application of any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balance of the classes of certificates), the trustee will, promptly terminate the operating advisor for cause and appoint a replacement operating advisor that is an Eligible Operating Advisor; provided that no such termination will be effective until a successor operating advisor has been appointed and has assumed all of the obligations of the operating advisor under the PSA. The trustee may rely on a certification by the replacement operating advisor that it is an Eligible Operating Advisor. If the trustee is unable to find a replacement operating advisor that is an Eligible Operating Advisor within 30 days of the termination of the operating advisor, the depositor will be permitted to find a replacement.

 

Upon any termination of the operating advisor and appointment of a successor operating advisor, the trustee will, as soon as possible, be required to give written notice of the termination and appointment to the special servicer, the master servicer, the certificate administrator, the depositor, the Directing Certificateholder (for any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan and only for so long as no Consultation Termination Event has occurred), any Companion Loan holder, the Certificateholders and the 17g-5 Information Provider (and made available through the 17g-5 Information Provider’s website).

 

Waiver of Operating Advisor Termination Event

 

The holders of certificates representing at least 25% of the Voting Rights affected by any Operating Advisor Termination Event may waive such Operating Advisor Termination Event within 20 days of the receipt of notice from the trustee of the occurrence of such Operating Advisor Termination Event. Upon any such waiver of an Operating Advisor Termination Event, such Operating Advisor Termination Event will cease to exist and will be deemed to have been remedied. Upon any such waiver of an Operating Advisor Termination Event by Certificateholders, the trustee and the certificate administrator will be entitled to recover all

 

 528

 

 

costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with enforcement action taken with respect to such Operating Advisor Termination Event prior to such waiver from the issuing entity.

 

Termination of the Operating Advisor Without Cause

 

After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the operating advisor may be removed upon (i) the written direction of Certificateholders evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights (taking into account the application of Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances of classes to which such Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts are allocable) requesting a vote to replace the operating advisor with a replacement operating advisor that is an Eligible Operating Advisor selected by such Certificateholders, (ii) payment by such requesting holders to the certificate administrator of all reasonable fees and expenses to be incurred by the certificate administrator in connection with administering such vote and (iii) receipt by the trustee of the Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such removal.

 

The certificate administrator will be required to promptly provide written notice to all Certificateholders of such request by posting such notice on its internet website, and by mail, and conduct the solicitation of votes of all certificates in such regard.

 

Upon the vote or written direction of holders of at least 75% of the Voting Rights (taking into account the application of Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances of classes to which such Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts are allocable), the trustee will immediately replace the operating advisor with the replacement operating advisor.

 

In addition, in the event there are no classes of certificates outstanding other than the Control Eligible Certificates and the Class Z certificates and the Class R certificates, then all of the rights and obligations of the operating advisor under the PSA will terminate without payment of any penalty or termination fee (other than any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such termination (including accrued and unpaid compensation) and other than indemnification rights arising out of events occurring prior to such termination). If the operating advisor is terminated pursuant to the foregoing sentence, then no replacement operating advisor will be appointed.

 

Resignation of the Operating Advisor

 

The operating advisor may resign upon 30 days’ prior written notice to the depositor, the master servicer, the special servicer, the trustee, the certificate administrator, the asset representations reviewer, the Directing Certificateholder if the operating advisor has secured a replacement operating advisor that is an Eligible Operating Advisor and such replacement operating advisor has accepted its appointment as the replacement operating advisor and receipt by the trustee of a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency. If no successor operating advisor has been so appointed and accepted the appointment within 30 days after the notice of resignation, the resigning operating advisor may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor operating advisor that is an Eligible Operating Advisor. The resigning operating advisor must pay all costs and expenses associated with the transfer of its duties.

 

Operating Advisor Compensation

 

Certain fees will be payable to the operating advisor, and the operating advisor will be entitled to be reimbursed for certain expenses, as described under “Transaction Parties—The Operating Advisor and Asset Representations Reviewer”.

 

 529

 

 

In the event the operating advisor resigns or is terminated for any reason it will remain entitled to any accrued and unpaid fees and reimbursement of Operating Advisor Expenses and any rights to indemnification provided under the PSA with respect to the period for which it acted as operating advisor.

 

The operating advisor will be entitled to reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by the operating advisor in the event that the operating advisor is terminated without cause. See “—Termination of the Operating Advisor Without Cause” above.

 

The Asset Representations Reviewer

 

Asset Review

 

Asset Review Trigger

 

On or prior to each Distribution Date, based on the CREFC® delinquent loan status report and/or the CREFC® loan periodic update file delivered by the master servicer for such Distribution Date, the certificate administrator will be required to determine if an Asset Review Trigger has occurred. If an Asset Review Trigger is determined to have occurred, the certificate administrator will be required to promptly provide notice to the asset representations reviewer and to provide notice to all Certificateholders by posting a notice of its determination on its internet website and by mailing such notice to the Certificateholders’ addresses appearing in the certificate register. On each Distribution Date after providing such notice to the Certificateholders, the certificate administrator, based on information provided to it by the master servicer or the special servicer, will be required to determine whether (1) any additional Mortgage Loan has become a Delinquent Loan, (2) any Mortgage Loan has ceased to be a Delinquent Loan and (3) an Asset Review Trigger has ceased to exist, and, if there is an occurrence of any of the events or circumstances identified in clauses (1), (2) and/or (3), deliver such information in a written notice (which may be via email) within 2 business days to the master servicer, the special servicer, the operating advisor and the asset representations reviewer.

 

An “Asset Review Trigger” will occur when either (1) Mortgage Loans with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of 25.0% or more of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all of the Mortgage Loans (including any successor REO Loans (or a portion of any REO Loan corresponding to the predecessor Mortgage Loan, in the case of a Whole Loan)) held by the issuing entity as of the end of the applicable Collection Period are Delinquent Loans or (2)(A) prior to and including the second (2nd) anniversary of the Closing Date, at least ten (10) Mortgage Loans are Delinquent Loans as of the end of the applicable Collection Period and the outstanding principal balance of such Delinquent Loans in the aggregate constitutes at least 15.0% of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all of the Mortgage Loans (including any successor REO Loans (or a portion of any REO Loan corresponding to the predecessor Mortgage Loan, in the case of a Whole Loan)) held by the issuing entity as of the end of the applicable Collection Period, or (B) after the second (2nd) anniversary of the Closing Date, at least fifteen (15) Mortgage Loans are Delinquent Loans as of the end of the applicable Collection Period and the outstanding principal balance of such Delinquent Loans in the aggregate constitutes at least 20.0% of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all of the Mortgage Loans (including any successor REO Loans (or a portion of any REO Loan corresponding to the predecessor Mortgage Loan, in the case of a Whole Loan)) held by the issuing entity as of the end of the applicable Collection Period. The PSA will require that the certificate administrator include in the Distribution Report on Form 10-D relating to the distribution period in which the Asset Review Trigger occurred a description of the events that caused the Asset Review Trigger to occur.

 

 530

 

 

We believe this Asset Review Trigger is appropriate considering the unique characteristics of pools of Mortgage Loans underlying CMBS. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Static Pool Data Would Not Be Indicative of the Performance of this Pool”. While we do not believe static pool information is relevant to CMBS transactions as a general matter, as a point of relative context, with respect to the fifty-two (52) prior pools of commercial mortgage loans for which UBS AG, New York Branch (or its predecessors and affiliates) was a sponsor in a public offering of CMBS with a securitization closing date on or after January 1, 2007, the highest percentage of loans that were delinquent at least sixty (60) days at the end of any reporting period between January 1, 2011 and September 30, 2017 was approximately 98.55%; however, the average of the delinquency percentages based on the number of mortgage loans in the reviewed transactions was 5.65%.

 

This pool of Mortgage Loans is not homogeneous or granular, and there are individual Mortgage Loans that each represent a significant percentage, by outstanding principal balance, of the Mortgage Pool. For example, the three (3) largest Mortgage Loans in the Mortgage Pool represent approximately 16.1% of the Initial Pool Balance. Given this Mortgage Pool composition and the fact that CMBS pools as a general matter include a small relative number of larger mortgage loans, we believe it would not be appropriate for the delinquency of the three (3) largest Mortgage Loans, in the case of this Mortgage Pool, to cause the Asset Review Trigger to be met, as that would not necessarily be indicative of the overall quality of the Mortgage Pool. On the other hand, a significant number of delinquent Mortgage Loans by loan count could indicate an issue with the quality of the Mortgage Pool. As a result, we believe it would be appropriate to have the alternative test as set forth in clause (2) of the definition of “Asset Review Trigger”, namely to have the Asset Review Trigger be met if Mortgage Loans representing a specified percentage of the Mortgage Loans (by loan count) are Delinquent Loans, assuming those mortgage loans still meet a minimum principal balance threshold. However, given the nature of commercial mortgage loans and the inherent risks of a delinquency based solely on market conditions, a static trigger based on the number of delinquent loans would reflect a lower relative risk of an Asset Review Trigger being triggered earlier in the transaction’s lifecycle for delinquencies that are based on issues unrelated to breaches or representations and warranties and would reflect a higher relative risk later in the transaction’s lifecycle. To address this, we believe the specified percentage should increase during the life of the transaction, as provided for in clause (2) of the definition of “Asset Review Trigger”. CMBS as an asset class has historically not had a large number of claims for, or repurchases based on, breaches of representations and warranties. While the Asset Review Trigger we have selected is less than this historical peak, we feel it remains at a level that avoids a trigger based on market variability while providing an appropriate threshold to capture delinquencies that may have resulted from an underlying deficiency in one or more mortgage loan seller’s Mortgage Loans that could be the basis for claims against those mortgage loan sellers based on breaches of the representations and warranties.

 

Delinquent Loan” means a Mortgage Loan that is delinquent at least 60 days in respect of its Periodic Payments or balloon payment, if any, in either case such delinquency to be determined without giving effect to any grace period.

 

Asset Review Vote

 

If Certificateholders evidencing not less than 5.0% of the Voting Rights deliver to the certificate administrator, within 90 days after the filing of the Form 10-D reporting the occurrence of an Asset Review Trigger, a written direction requesting a vote to commence an Asset Review (an “Asset Review Vote Election”), the certificate administrator will be required to promptly provide written notice of such direction to all Certificateholders (with a

 

 531

 

 

copy to the asset representations reviewer), and to conduct a solicitation of votes of Certificateholders to authorize an Asset Review. Upon the affirmative vote to authorize an Asset Review by Certificateholders evidencing at least (i) a majority of those Certificateholders who cast votes and (ii) a majority of an Asset Review Quorum within 150 days of the receipt of the Asset Review Vote Election (an “Affirmative Asset Review Vote”), the certificate administrator will be required to promptly provide written notice of such Affirmative Asset Review Vote to all parties to the PSA, the underwriters, the mortgage loan sellers, the Directing Certificateholder and the Certificateholders. In the event an Affirmative Asset Review Vote has not occurred within such 150-day period following the receipt of the Asset Review Vote Election, no Certificateholder may request a vote or cast a vote for an Asset Review and the asset representations reviewer will not be required to review any Delinquent Loan unless and until, as applicable, (A) an additional Mortgage Loan has become a Delinquent Loan after the expiration of such 150-day period, (B) a new Asset Review Trigger has occurred as a result or an Asset Review Trigger is otherwise in effect, (C) the certificate administrator has timely received an Asset Review Vote Election after the occurrence of the events described in clauses (A) and (B) above and (D) an Affirmative Asset Review Vote has occurred within 150 days after the Asset Review Vote Election described in clause (C) above. After the occurrence of any Asset Review Vote Election or an Affirmative Asset Review Vote, no Certificateholder may make any additional Asset Review Vote Election except as described in the immediately preceding sentence. Any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the certificate administrator in connection with administering such vote will be paid as an expense of the issuing entity from the Collection Account.

 

An “Asset Review Quorum” means, in connection with any solicitation of votes to authorize an Asset Review as described above, the holders of certificates evidencing at least 5.0% of the aggregate Voting Rights represented by all certificates that have Voting Rights.

 

Review Materials

 

Upon receipt of notice from the certificate administrator of an Affirmative Asset Review Vote (the “Asset Review Notice”), the custodian (with respect to clauses (i) – (v) for all Mortgage Loans), the master servicer (with respect to clause (vi) for non-Specially Serviced Loans) and the special servicer (with respect to clause (vi) for Specially Serviced Loans), in each case to the extent in such party’s possession, will be required to promptly, but in no event later than within 10 business days, provide the following materials in electronic format to the asset representations reviewer (collectively, with the Diligence Files posted to the secure data room by the certificate administrator, a copy of the prospectus, a copy of each related MLPA and a copy of the PSA, the “Review Materials”):

 

(i)  a copy of an assignment of the Mortgage in favor of the trustee, with evidence of recording thereon, for each Delinquent Loan that is subject to an Asset Review;

 

(ii) a copy of an assignment of any related assignment of leases (if such item is a document separate from the Mortgage) in favor of the trustee, with evidence of recording thereon, related to each Delinquent Loan that is subject to an Asset Review;

 

(iii) a copy of the assignment of all unrecorded documents relating to each Delinquent Loan that is subject to an Asset Review, if not already covered pursuant to items (i) or (ii) above;

 

 532

 

 

(iv) a copy of all filed copies (bearing evidence of filing) or evidence of filing of any UCC financing statements related to each Delinquent Loan that is subject to an Asset Review;

 

(v)  a copy of an assignment in favor of the trustee of any financing statement executed and filed in the relevant jurisdiction related to each Delinquent Loan that is subject to an Asset Review; and

 

(vi) any other related documents that were entered into or delivered in connection with the origination of such Mortgage Loan that the asset representations reviewer has determined are necessary in connection with its completion of any Asset Review and that are requested by the asset representations reviewer, in the time frames and as otherwise described below.

 

In the event that, as part of an Asset Review of a Mortgage Loan, the asset representations reviewer determines that it is missing any document that is required to be part of the Review Materials for such Mortgage Loan and that is necessary in connection with its completion of the Asset Review, the asset representations reviewer will promptly, but in no event later than 10 business days after receipt of the Review Materials, notify the master servicer (with respect to non-Specially Serviced Loans) or the special servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans), as applicable, of such missing document(s), and request the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, promptly, but in no event later than 10 business days after receipt of notification from the asset representations reviewer, deliver to the asset representations reviewer such missing document(s) to the extent in its possession. In the event any missing documents are not provided by the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, within such 10 business day period, the asset representations reviewer will be required to request such documents from the related mortgage loan seller. The mortgage loan seller will be required under the related MLPA to deliver such additional documents only to the extent such documents are in the possession of such party but in any event excluding any documents that contain information that is proprietary to the related originator or mortgage loan seller or any draft documents or privileged or internal communications.

 

The asset representations reviewer may, but is under no obligation to, consider and rely upon information furnished to it by a person that is not a party to the PSA or the related mortgage loan seller, and will do so only if such information can be independently verified (without unreasonable effort or expense to the asset representations reviewer) and is determined by the asset representations reviewer in its good faith and sole discretion to be relevant to the Asset Review (any such information, “Unsolicited Information”), as described below.

 

Asset Review

 

Upon its receipt of the Asset Review Notice and access to the Diligence Files posted to the secure data room with respect to a Delinquent Loan, the asset representations reviewer, as an independent contractor, will be required to commence a review of the compliance of each Delinquent Loan with the representations and warranties related to that Delinquent Loan (such review, the “Asset Review”). An Asset Review of each Delinquent Loan will consist of the application of a set of pre-determined review procedures (the “Tests”) for each representation and warranty made by the applicable mortgage loan seller with respect to such Delinquent Loan; provided, however, that the asset representations reviewer may, but is under no obligation to, modify any Test and/or associated Review Materials if, and only to the extent, the asset representations reviewer determines pursuant to the Asset Review Standard that it is necessary to modify such Test and/or such associated Review

 

 533

 

 

Materials in order to facilitate its Asset Review in accordance with the Asset Review Standard. Once an Asset Review of a Mortgage Loan is completed, no further Asset Review will be required of or performed on that Mortgage Loan notwithstanding that such Mortgage Loan may continue to be a Delinquent Loan or become a Delinquent Loan again at the time when a new Asset Review Trigger occurs and a new Affirmative Asset Review Vote is obtained subsequent to the occurrence of such Asset Review Trigger.

 

Asset Review Standard” means the performance by the asset representations reviewer of its duties under the PSA in good faith subject to the express terms of the PSA. All determinations or assumptions made by the asset representations reviewer in connection with an Asset Review are required to be made in the asset representations reviewer’s good faith discretion and judgment based on the facts and circumstances known to it at the time of such determination or assumption.

 

No Certificateholder will have the right to change the scope of the asset representations reviewer’s review, and the asset representations reviewer will not be required to review any information other than (i) the Review Materials and (ii) if applicable, Unsolicited Information.

 

The asset representations reviewer may, absent manifest error and subject to the Asset Review Standard, (i) assume, without independent investigation or verification, that the Review Materials are accurate and complete in all material respects and (ii) conclusively rely on such Review Materials.

 

The asset representations reviewer must prepare a preliminary report with respect to each delinquent loan within 56 days after the date on which access to the secure data room is provided by the certificate administrator. In the event that the asset representations reviewer determines that the Review Materials are insufficient to complete a Test and such missing documentation is not delivered to the asset representations reviewer by the master servicer (with respect to non-Specially Serviced Loans) or the special servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans), to the extent in the master servicer’s or the special servicer’s possession, or from the related mortgage loan seller within 10 business days following the request by the asset representations reviewer to the master servicer, the special servicer or the related mortgage loan seller, as the case may be, as described above, the asset representations reviewer will list such missing documents in a preliminary report setting forth the preliminary results of the application of the Tests and the reasons why such missing documents are necessary to complete a Test and (if the asset representations reviewer has so concluded) that the absence of such documents will be deemed to be a failure of such Test. The asset representations reviewer will be required to provide such preliminary report to the master servicer (with respect to non-Specially Serviced Loans) or the special servicer (with respect to all Mortgage Loans), and the related mortgage loan seller. The special servicer, if applicable, may review such preliminary report and determine whether any information contained in such preliminary report shall be labeled as “Privileged Information” and thus be excluded from the Asset Review Report and Asset Review Report Summary. If the preliminary report indicates that any of the representations and warranties fails or is deemed to fail any Test, the mortgage loan seller will have 90 days (the “Cure/Contest Period”) to remedy or otherwise refute the failure. Any documents or explanations to support the related mortgage loan seller’s claim that the representation and warranty has not failed a Test or that any missing documents in the Review Materials are not required to complete a Test will be sent by the related mortgage loan seller to the asset representations reviewer. For the avoidance of doubt, the asset representations reviewer will not be required to prepare a preliminary report in the event the asset representations reviewer determines that there is no Test failure with respect to the related Delinquent Loan.

 

 534

 

 

The asset representations reviewer will be required, within 60 days after the date on which access to the secure data room is provided to the asset representations reviewer by the certificate administrator or within 10 days after the expiration of the Cure/Contest Period (whichever is later), to complete an Asset Review with respect to each Delinquent Loan and deliver (i) a report setting forth the asset representations reviewer’s findings and conclusions as to whether or not it has determined there is any evidence of a failure of any Test based on the Asset Review and a statement that the asset representations reviewer’s findings and conclusions set forth in such report were not influenced by any third party (an “Asset Review Report”) to each party to the PSA, the related mortgage loan seller for each Delinquent Loan and the Directing Certificateholder, and (ii) a summary of the asset representations reviewer’s conclusions included in such Asset Review Report (an “Asset Review Report Summary”) to the trustee and certificate administrator. The period of time by which the Asset Review Report must be completed and delivered may be extended by up to an additional 30 days, upon written notice to the parties to the PSA and the related mortgage loan seller, if the asset representations reviewer determines pursuant to the Asset Review Standard that such additional time is required due to the characteristics of the Mortgage Loans and/or the Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties. In no event will the asset representations reviewer be required to determine whether any Test failure constitutes a Material Defect, or whether the issuing entity should enforce any rights it may have against the related mortgage loan seller (or, in the case of LCF, against Ladder Capital Finance Holdings LLLP, Series REIT of Ladder Capital Finance Holdings LLLP and Series TRS of Ladder Capital Finance Holdings LLLP in respect of their respective payment guaranties), which, in each such case, will be the responsibility of the Enforcing Servicer. See “—Enforcement of Mortgage Loan Seller’s Obligations Under the MLPA” below. In addition, in the event that the asset representations reviewer does not receive any documentation that it requested from the master servicer (with respect to non-Specially Serviced Loans), the special servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) or the related mortgage loan seller in sufficient time to allow the asset representations reviewer to complete its Asset Review and deliver an Asset Review Report, the asset representations reviewer will be required to prepare the Asset Review Report solely based on the documentation received by the asset representations reviewer with respect to the related Delinquent Loan, and the asset representations reviewer will have no responsibility to independently obtain any such documentation from any party to the PSA or otherwise. The PSA will require that the certificate administrator (i) include the Asset Review Report Summary in the Distribution Report on Form 10–D relating to the distribution period in which the Asset Review Report Summary was received, and (ii) post such Asset Review Report Summary to the certificate administrator’s website not later than two business days after receipt of such Asset Review Report Summary from the asset representations reviewer.

 

Eligibility of Asset Representations Reviewer

 

The asset representations reviewer will be required to represent and warrant in the PSA that it is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer. The asset representations reviewer is required to be at all times an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer. If the asset representations reviewer ceases to be an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer, the asset representations reviewer is required to immediately notify the master servicer, the special servicer, the trustee, the operating advisor, the certificate administrator and the Directing Certificateholder of such disqualification and immediately resign under the PSA as described under the “—Resignation of Asset Representations Reviewer” below.

 

An “Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer” is an institution that (i) is the special servicer, operating advisor or asset representations reviewer on a transaction rated by any of DBRS, Inc., Fitch, KBRA, Moody’s, Morningstar Credit Ratings, LLC or S&P and that has

 

 535

 

 

not been the special servicer, operating advisor or asset representations reviewer on a transaction for which DBRS, Inc., Fitch, KBRA, Moody’s, Morningstar Credit Ratings, LLC or S&P has qualified, downgraded or withdrawn its rating or ratings of one or more classes of certificates for such transaction citing servicing or other relevant concerns with the special servicer, operating advisor or asset representations reviewer, as applicable, as the sole or material factor in such rating action, (ii) can and will make the representations and warranties of the asset representations reviewer set forth in the PSA, (iii) is not (and is not affiliated with) any sponsor, any mortgage loan seller, any originator, the master servicer, the special servicer, the depositor, the certificate administrator, the trustee, the Directing Certificateholder or any of their respective affiliates, (iv) has not performed (and is not affiliated with any party hired to perform) any due diligence, loan underwriting, brokerage, borrower advisory or similar services with respect to any Mortgage Loan or any related Companion Loan prior to the Closing Date for or on behalf of any sponsor, any mortgage loan seller, any underwriter, any party to the PSA, the Directing Certificateholder or any of their respective affiliates, or have been paid any fees, compensation or other remuneration by any of them in connection with any such services and (v) that does not directly or indirectly, through one or more affiliates or otherwise, own any interest in any certificates, any Mortgage Loans, any Companion Loan or any securities backed by a Companion Loan or otherwise have any financial interest in the securitization transaction to which the PSA relates, other than in fees from its role as asset representations reviewer (or as operating advisor, if applicable) and except as otherwise set forth in the PSA.

 

Other Obligations of Asset Representations Reviewer

 

The asset representations reviewer and its affiliates are required to keep confidential any information appropriately labeled as “Privileged Information” received from any party to the PSA or any sponsor under the PSA (including, without limitation, in connection with the review of the Mortgage Loans) and not disclose such Privileged Information to any person (including Certificateholders), other than (1) to the extent expressly required by the PSA in an Asset Review Report or otherwise, to the other parties to the PSA with a notice indicating that such information is Privileged Information or (2) pursuant to a Privileged Information Exception. Each party to the PSA that receives such Privileged Information from the asset representations reviewer with a notice stating that such information is Privileged Information may not disclose such Privileged Information to any person without the prior written consent of the special servicer other than pursuant to a Privileged Information Exception.

 

Neither the asset representations reviewer nor any of its affiliates may make any investment in any class of certificates; provided, however, that such prohibition will not apply to (i) riskless principal transactions effected by a broker dealer affiliate of the asset representations reviewer or (ii) investments by an affiliate of the asset representations reviewer if the asset representations reviewer and such affiliate maintain policies and procedures that (A) segregate personnel involved in the activities of the asset representations reviewer under the PSA from personnel involved in such affiliate’s investment activities and (B) prevent such affiliate and its personnel from gaining access to information regarding the issuing entity and the asset representations reviewer and its personnel from gaining access to such affiliate’s information regarding its investment activities.

 

Delegation of Asset Representations Reviewer’s Duties

 

The asset representations reviewer may delegate its duties to agents or subcontractors in accordance with the PSA, however, the asset representations reviewer will remain

 

 536

 

 

obligated and primarily liable for any Asset Review required in accordance with the provisions of the PSA without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such delegation or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from any person acting as its agents or subcontractor to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the asset representations reviewer alone were performing its obligations under the PSA.

 

Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Events

 

The following constitute asset representations reviewer termination events under the PSA (each, an “Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event”) whether any such event is voluntary or involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body:

 

(i) any failure by the asset representations reviewer to observe or perform in any material respect any of its covenants or agreements or the material breach of any of its representations or warranties under the PSA, which failure continues unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, is given to the asset representations reviewer by the trustee or to the asset representations reviewer and the trustee by the holders of certificates having greater than 25% of the Voting Rights; provided that with respect to any such failure that is not curable within such 30-day period, the asset representations reviewer will have an additional cure period of 30 days to effect such cure so long as it has commenced to cure such failure within the initial 30-day period and has provided the trustee and the certificate administrator with an officer’s certificate certifying that it has diligently pursued, and is continuing to pursue, such cure;

 

(ii) any failure by the asset representations reviewer to perform its obligations set forth in the PSA in accordance with the Asset Review Standard in any material respect, which failure continues unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, is given to the asset representations reviewer by any party to the PSA;

 

(iii) any failure by the asset representations reviewer to be an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer, which failure continues unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, is given to the asset representations reviewer by any party to the PSA;

 

(iv) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary case under any present or future federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law for the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, has been entered against the asset representations reviewer, and such decree or order has remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days;

 

(v) the asset representations reviewer consents to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator or liquidation committee in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities, voluntary liquidation, or similar proceedings of or relating to the asset representations reviewer or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property; or

 

 537

 

 

(vi) the asset representations reviewer admits in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, files a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspends payment of its obligations.

 

Upon receipt by the certificate administrator of written notice of the occurrence of any Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event, the certificate administrator will be required to promptly provide written notice to all Certificateholders (which is required to be simultaneously delivered to the asset representations reviewer) electronically by posting such notice on its internet website and by mail, unless the certificate administrator has received notice that such Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event has been remedied.

 

Rights Upon Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event

 

If an Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event occurs, and in each and every such case, so long as such Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event has not been remedied, then either the trustee (i) may or (ii) upon the written direction of Certificateholders evidencing at least 25% of the Voting Rights (without regard to the application of any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts) will be required to, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the asset representations reviewer under the PSA, other than rights and obligations accrued prior to such termination and other than indemnification rights (arising out of events occurring prior to such termination), by written notice to the asset representations reviewer. The asset representations reviewer is required to bear all reasonable costs and expenses of each other party to the PSA in connection with its termination for cause.

 

Termination of the Asset Representations Reviewer Without Cause

 

Upon (i) the written direction of Certificateholders evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights (without regard to the application of any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts) requesting a vote to terminate and replace the asset representations reviewer with a proposed successor asset representations reviewer that is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer, and (ii) payment by such holders to the certificate administrator of the reasonable fees and expenses to be incurred by the certificate administrator in connection with administering such vote, the certificate administrator will promptly provide notice to all Certificateholders and the asset representations reviewer of such request by posting such notice on its internet website, and by mailing to all Certificateholders and the asset representations reviewer. Upon the written direction of Certificateholders evidencing at least 75% of a Certificateholder Quorum (without regard to the application of any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts), the trustee will terminate all of the rights and obligations of the asset representations reviewer under the PSA (other than any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such termination and other than indemnification rights (arising out of events occurring prior to such termination)) by written notice to the asset representations reviewer, and the proposed successor asset representations reviewer will be appointed.

 

In the event that holders of the certificates entitled to at least 75% of the Voting Rights elect to remove the asset representations reviewer without cause and appoint a successor, the successor asset representations reviewer will be responsible for all expenses necessary to effect the transfer of responsibilities from its predecessor.

 

 538

 

 

Resignation of Asset Representations Reviewer

 

The asset representations reviewer may at any time resign by giving written notice to the other parties to the PSA. In addition, the asset representations reviewer will at all times be, and will be required to resign if it fails to be, an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer by giving written notice to the other parties. Upon such notice of resignation, the depositor will be required to promptly appoint a successor asset representations reviewer that is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer. No resignation of the asset representations reviewer will be effective until a successor asset representations reviewer that is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer has been appointed and accepted the appointment. If no successor asset representations reviewer has been so appointed and accepted the appointment within 30 days after the notice of resignation, the resigning asset representations reviewer may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor asset representations reviewer that is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer. The resigning asset representations reviewer must pay all costs and expenses associated with the transfer of its duties.

 

Asset Representations Reviewer Compensation

 

Certain fees will be payable to the asset representations reviewer, and the asset representations reviewer will be entitled to be reimbursed for certain expenses, as described under “—Servicing and Other Compensation and Payment of Expenses”.

 

Replacement of the Special Servicer Without Cause

 

Except as limited by certain conditions described in this prospectus and subject to the rights of the holder of the related Companion Loan under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the special servicer may generally be replaced, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, at any time and without cause, by the Directing Certificateholder so long as, among other things, the Directing Certificateholder appoints a replacement special servicer that meets the requirements of the PSA, including that the trustee and the certificate administrator receive a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and confirmation from the applicable rating agencies that such replacement will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the then-current ratings of any class of any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Securities and that such replacement special servicer may not be the asset representations reviewer or any of its affiliates. The reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of any such termination incurred by the Directing Certificateholder (other than a Loan-Specific Directing Certificateholder) without cause (including the costs of obtaining a Rating Agency Confirmation) will be paid by the holders of the Controlling Class. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to a Serviced AB Whole Loan, prior to the occurrence of a Control Appraisal Period with respect to the related Subordinate Companion Loan, the Directing Certificateholder will not be entitled to exercise the above-described rights and the holder of such Subordinate Companion Loan will be entitled to replace the special servicer with or without cause in accordance with the PSA and the related Intercreditor Agreement. However, during a Control Appraisal Period with respect to a Serviced AB Whole Loan, the Directing Certificateholder will have generally similar (although not necessarily identical) rights (including the rights described above) with respect to such Serviced AB Whole Loan as it does for the other Mortgage Loans in the issuing entity. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Serviced AB Whole Loans—Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Whole Loan” and “—Centre 425 Bellevue Whole Loan.

 

After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, upon (i) the written direction of holders of Principal Balance Certificates evidencing not less than

 

 539

 

 

25% of the Voting Rights (taking into account the application of any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances) of the Principal Balance Certificates requesting a vote to replace the special servicer with a new special servicer, (ii) payment by such holders to the certificate administrator of the reasonable fees and expenses (including any legal fees and any Rating Agency fees and expenses) to be incurred by the certificate administrator in connection with administering such vote (which fees and expenses will not be additional trust fund expenses), and (iii) delivery by such holders to the certificate administrator and the trustee of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency (such Rating Agency Confirmation will be obtained at the expense of those holders of certificates requesting such vote) and confirmation from the applicable rating agencies that the contemplated appointment or replacement will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the then-current ratings of any class of any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Securities, the certificate administrator will be required to post notice of the same on the certificate administrator’s website and concurrently by mail and conduct the solicitation of votes of all certificates in such regard, which requisite affirmative votes must be received within 180 days of the posting of such notice. Upon the written direction of holders of Principal Balance Certificates evidencing at least 66-2/3% of a Certificateholder Quorum, the trustee will be required to terminate all of the rights and obligations of the special servicer under the PSA and appoint the successor special servicer (which must be a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer) designated by such Certificateholders, subject to indemnification, right to outstanding fees, reimbursement of Advances and other rights set forth in the PSA, which survive such termination. The certificate administrator will include on each Distribution Date Statement a statement that each Certificateholder may access such notices via the certificate administrator’s website and that each Certificateholder may register to receive electronic mail notifications when such notices are posted thereon.

 

A “Certificateholder Quorum” means, in connection with any solicitation of votes in connection with the replacement of the special servicer or the asset representations reviewer described above, the holders of certificates evidencing at least 50% of the aggregate Voting Rights (taking into account the application of Realized Losses and, other than with respect to the termination of the asset representations reviewer, the application of any Cumulative Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balance of the certificates) of all Principal Balance Certificates on an aggregate basis.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the special servicer obtains knowledge that it has become a Borrower Party with respect to any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan (any such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, an “Excluded Special Servicer Loan”), the special servicer will be required to resign as special servicer of that Excluded Special Servicer Loan. Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, if the applicable Excluded Special Servicer Loan is not also an Excluded Loan, the Directing Certificateholder will be required to select a successor special servicer that is not a Borrower Party in accordance with the terms of the PSA (the “Excluded Special Servicer”) for the related Excluded Special Servicer Loan. After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, if at any time the applicable Excluded Special Servicer Loan is also an Excluded Loan or if the Directing Certificateholder is entitled to appoint the Excluded Special Servicer but does not so appoint within 30 days of notice of such resignation, the resigning special servicer will be required to use reasonable efforts to select the related Excluded Special Servicer. The special servicer will not have any liability with respect to the actions or inactions of the applicable Excluded Special Servicer or with respect to the identity of the applicable Excluded Special Servicer so long as, on the date of the appointment, the selected Excluded Special Servicer is a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer. It will be a condition to any such appointment that (i) the Rating Agencies confirm

 

 540

 

 

that the appointment would not result in a qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of any of their then-current ratings of the certificates and the equivalent from each NRSRO hired to provide ratings with respect to any class of securities backed, wholly or partially, by any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, (ii) the applicable Excluded Special Servicer is a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer and (iii) the applicable Excluded Special Servicer delivers to the depositor and the certificate administrator and any applicable depositor and certificate administrator of any other securitization, if applicable, that contains a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, the information, if any, required pursuant to Item 6.02 of the Form 8-K regarding itself in its role as Excluded Special Servicer.

 

If at any time the special servicer is no longer a Borrower Party with respect to an Excluded Special Servicer Loan (including, without limitation, as a result of the related Mortgaged Property becoming REO Property), (1) the related Excluded Special Servicer will be required to resign, (2) the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan will no longer be an Excluded Special Servicer Loan, (3) the special servicer will become the special servicer again for such related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan and (4) the special servicer will be entitled to all special servicing compensation with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan earned during such time on and after such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan is no longer an Excluded Special Servicer Loan.

 

The applicable Excluded Special Servicer will be required to perform all of the obligations of the special servicer for the related Excluded Special Servicer Loan and will be entitled to all special servicing compensation with respect to such Excluded Special Servicer Loan earned during such time as the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan is an Excluded Special Servicer Loan (provided that the special servicer will remain entitled to all other special servicing compensation with respect to all Mortgage Loans and Serviced Whole Loans that are not Excluded Special Servicer Loans during such time).

 

A “Qualified Replacement Special Servicer” is a replacement special servicer that (i) satisfies all of the eligibility requirements applicable to the special servicer in the PSA, (ii) is not the operating advisor, the asset representations reviewer or an affiliate of the operating advisor or the asset representations reviewer (and, if appointed by the Directing Certificateholder or with the approval of the requisite vote of certificateholders following the operating advisor’s recommendation to replace the special servicer as described in “—Replacement of Special Servicer After Operating Advisor Recommendation and Certificateholder Vote” below, is not the originally replaced special servicer or its affiliate), (iii) is not obligated to pay the operating advisor (x) any fees or otherwise compensate the operating advisor in respect of its obligations under the PSA, or (y) for the appointment of the successor special servicer or the recommendation by the operating advisor for the replacement special servicer to become the special servicer, (iv) is not entitled to receive any compensation from the operating advisor other than compensation that is not material and is unrelated to the operating advisor’s recommendation that such party be appointed as the replacement special servicer, (v) is not entitled to receive any fee from the operating advisor for its appointment as successor special servicer, in each case, unless expressly approved by 100% of the Certificateholders, (vi) currently has a special servicer rating of at least “CSS3” from Fitch, (vii) (A) that confirms in writing that it was appointed to act as, and currently serves as, special servicer on a transaction level basis on the closing date of a commercial mortgage loan securitization with respect to which Moody’s rated one or more classes of certificates and one or more of such classes of certificates are still outstanding and rated by Moody’s and (B) with respect to which Moody’s has not cited servicing concerns of such replacement special servicer as the sole or a material factor in any qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of the ratings (or placement on “watch status” in contemplation of a ratings downgrade or withdrawal) of securities rated by Moody’s in any

 

 541

 

 

other commercial mortgage-backed securities transaction serviced by the replacement special servicer prior to the time of determination, and (viii) is not a special servicer that has been cited by Moody’s or KBRA as having servicing concerns as the sole or a material factor in any qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of the ratings (or placement on “watch status” in contemplation of a ratings downgrade or withdrawal) of securities in a transaction serviced by the applicable servicer prior to the time of determination.

 

Replacement of the Special Servicer After Operating Advisor Recommendation and Certificateholder Vote

 

If the operating advisor determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that (1) the special servicer is not performing its duties as required under the PSA or is otherwise not acting in accordance with the Servicing Standard and (2) the replacement of the special servicer would be in the best interest of the certificateholders as a collective whole, then the operating advisor will have the right to recommend the replacement of the special servicer. In such event, the operating advisor will be required to deliver to the trustee and the certificate administrator, with a copy to the special servicer, a written report detailing the reasons supporting its recommendation (along with relevant information justifying its recommendation) and recommending a suggested replacement special servicer (which must be a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer). The certificate administrator will be required to notify each Certificateholder of the recommendation and post the related report on the certificate administrator’s internet website, and to conduct the solicitation of votes with respect to such recommendation. Approval by the Certificateholders of such Qualified Replacement Special Servicer will not preclude the Directing Certificateholder from appointing a replacement, so long as such replacement is a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer and is not the originally replaced special servicer or its affiliate.

 

The operating advisor’s recommendation to replace the special servicer must be confirmed within 180 days of the report being posted to the certificate administrator’s internet website by an affirmative vote of holders of Certificates evidencing at least a majority of a quorum of Certificateholders (which, for this purpose, is the holders of Certificates that (i) evidence at least 20% of the Voting Rights (taking into account the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the respective Certificate Balances) of all Principal Balance Certificates on an aggregate basis, and (ii) consist of at least three Certificateholders or Certificate Owners that are not affiliated with each other). In the event the holders of Principal Balance Certificates evidencing at least a majority of a quorum of Certificateholders elect to remove and replace the special servicer (which requisite affirmative votes must be received within 180 days of the posting of the notice of the operating advisor’s recommendation to replace the special servicer to the certificate administrator’s website), the certificate administrator will be required to receive a Rating Agency Confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies at that time, and confirmation from the applicable rating agencies that such replacement will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the then-current ratings of any class of any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Securities. In the event the certificate administrator receives a Rating Agency Confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies (and the successor special servicer agrees to be bound by the terms of the PSA), the trustee will then be required to terminate all of the rights and obligations of the special servicer under the PSA and to appoint the successor special servicer approved by the holders of Certificates evidencing at least a majority of a quorum of Certificateholders, provided such successor special servicer is a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer, subject to the terminated special servicer’s rights to indemnification, payment of outstanding fees, reimbursement of Advances and other rights set forth in the PSA that survive termination. The reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses of outside

 

 542

 

 

counsel) associated with obtaining such Rating Agency Confirmations and administering the vote of the applicable holders of the Certificates and the operating advisor’s identification of a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer will be an additional trust fund expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the operating advisor will not be permitted to recommend the replacement of the special servicer with respect to a Serviced AB Whole Loan unless a Control Appraisal Period has occurred and is continuing with respect to such Serviced AB Whole Loan under the related Intercreditor Agreement and a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing.

 

In any case, the trustee will notify the outgoing special servicer promptly of the effective date of its termination. Any replacement special servicer recommended by the operating advisor must be a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer.

 

No appointment of the special servicer will be effective until the depositor or the depositor for the securitization of a Companion Loan has filed any required Exchange Act filings related to the removal and replacement of the special servicer.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Certificateholders’ direction to replace the special servicer will not apply to any Serviced AB Whole Loan unless a Control Appraisal Period has occurred and is continuing with respect to such Serviced AB Whole Loan under the related Intercreditor Agreement.

 

With respect to any Non-Serviced Whole Loans, the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer may be removed, and a successor special servicer appointed at any time by the related Non-Serviced Directing Certificateholder (and not by the Directing Certificateholder for this transaction) to the extent set forth in the related Non-Serviced PSA and the related Intercreditor Agreement for such Non-Serviced Whole Loan. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loans”, “—The Non-Serviced AB Whole Loans” and “—Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans” below.

 

The terms of the PSA described above under “—Replacement of the Special Servicer Without Cause” and this “—Replacement of the Special Servicer After Operating Advisor Recommendation and Certificateholder Vote” regarding the replacement of the special servicer without cause will not apply with respect to a Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan. Rather, with respect to the Servicing Shift Whole Loans: (i) prior to the related Servicing Shift Securitization Date, the holder of the related Controlling Companion Loan will have the right to replace the special servicer then acting with respect to the Servicing Shift Whole Loan and appoint a replacement special servicer, solely with respect to such Servicing Shift Whole Loan; and (ii) on and after the related Servicing Shift Securitization Date, pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement, the “directing holder” (or analogous term) under the related Servicing Shift PSA will have the right, with or without cause, to replace the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer then acting with respect to such Servicing Shift Whole Loan and appoint a replacement special servicer without the consent of the holder of such Servicing Shift Mortgage Loan.

 

Termination of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer for Cause

 

Servicer Termination Events

 

A “Servicer Termination Event” under the PSA with respect to the master servicer or the special servicer, as the case may be, will include, without limitation:

 

(a)  (i) any failure by the master servicer to make any deposit required to be made by the master servicer to the Collection Account or remit to the companion paying agent for

 

 543

 

 

deposit into the Companion Distribution Account on the day and by the time such deposit or remittance is first required to be made, which failure is not remedied within one business day, or (ii) any failure by the master servicer to deposit into, or remit to the certificate administrator for deposit into, the Distribution Account any amount required to be so deposited or remitted, which failure is not remedied by 11:00 a.m. New York City time on the relevant Distribution Date;

 

(b) any failure by the special servicer to deposit into the REO Account within one business day after the day such deposit is required to be made, or to remit to the master servicer for deposit in the Collection Account, or any other account required under the PSA, any amount required to be so deposited or remitted by the special servicer pursuant to, and at the time specified by, the PSA;

 

(c) any failure on the part of the master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, duly to observe or perform in any material respect any of its other covenants or obligations under the PSA, which failure continues unremedied for 30 days (or (i) with respect to any year that a report on Form 10-K is required to be filed, 5 business days in the case of the master servicer’s or special servicer’s obligations, as the case may be, under the PSA in respect of Exchange Act reporting items (after any applicable grace periods), (ii) 15 days in the case of the master servicer’s failure to make a Servicing Advance or (iii) 15 days in the case of a failure to pay the premium for any property insurance policy required to be maintained under the PSA) after written notice of the failure has been given (A) to the master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, by any other party to the PSA, or (B) to the master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, with a copy to each other party to the related PSA, by Certificateholders evidencing not less than 25% of all Voting Rights or, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan if affected by that failure, by the holder of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan; provided, however, that if that failure is capable of being cured and the master servicer or the special servicer, as the case may be, is diligently pursuing that cure, such period will be extended an additional 30 days; provided, further, however, that such extended period will not apply to the obligations regarding Exchange Act reporting;

 

(d) any breach on the part of the master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, of any representation or warranty in the PSA that materially and adversely affects the interests of any class of Certificateholders or holders of any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan and that continues unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which notice of that breach, requiring the same to be remedied, will have been given to the master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, by the depositor, the certificate administrator or the trustee, or to the master servicer, the special servicer, the depositor, the certificate administrator and the trustee by the Certificateholders evidencing not less than 25% of Voting Rights or, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan affected by such breach, by the holder of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan; provided, however, that if that breach is capable of being cured and the master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, is diligently pursuing that cure, that 30-day period will be extended an additional 30 days;

 

(e) certain events of insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings in respect of or relating to the master servicer or special servicer, and certain actions by or on behalf of the master servicer or special servicer indicating its insolvency or inability to pay its obligations;

 

(f) either Moody’s or KBRA (or, in the case of a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, any Companion Loan Rating Agency) (i) has qualified, downgraded or withdrawn its

 

 544

 

 

rating or ratings of one or more classes of certificates (or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Securities, as applicable), or (ii) has placed one or more classes of certificates (or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Securities, as applicable) on “watch status” in contemplation of a ratings downgrade or withdrawal (and in the case of clause (i) or (ii), such action has not been withdrawn by Moody’s or KBRA within 60 days of such rating action) and, in the case of either of clauses (i) or (ii), such Rating Agency publicly cited servicing concerns with the master servicer or the special servicer, as the case may be, as the sole or a material factor in such rating action; or

 

(g) the master servicer or the special servicer, as the case may be, is no longer rated at least “CMS3” or “CSS3”, respectively, by Fitch and such master servicer or special servicer is not reinstated to at least that rating within 60 days of the delisting.

 

Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Securities” means, for so long as the related Mortgage Loan or any successor REO Loan is part of the Mortgage Pool, any class of securities issued by another securitization and backed by a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan.

 

Rights Upon Servicer Termination Event

 

If a Servicer Termination Event occurs with respect to the master servicer or the special servicer under the PSA, then, so long as the Servicer Termination Event remains unremedied, the depositor or the trustee will be authorized, and at the written direction of Certificateholders entitled to a majority of the Voting Rights or, for so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Directing Certificateholder (solely with respect to the special servicer and other than with respect to an Excluded Loan), the trustee will be required to terminate all of the rights and obligations of the defaulting party as master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be (other than certain rights in respect of indemnification and certain items of servicing compensation), under the PSA. The trustee will then succeed to all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the defaulting party as master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, under the PSA and will be entitled to similar compensation arrangements. If the trustee is unwilling or unable to so act, it may (or, at the written request of Certificateholders entitled to a majority of the Voting Rights, or, for so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and other than in respect of an applicable Excluded Loan, the Directing Certificateholder, it will be required to) appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, a mortgage loan servicing institution, subject to the trustee’s receipt of a Rating Agency Confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies and confirmation from the applicable rating agencies that such appointment (or replacement) will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the then-current ratings of any class of any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Securities and, with respect to a successor special servicer, for so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and other than with respect to an Excluded Loan, that has been approved by the Directing Certificateholder, which approval may not be unreasonably withheld. In addition, none of the asset representations reviewer, the operating advisor and their respective affiliates may be appointed as a successor master servicer or special servicer.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the section above, if a Servicer Termination Event on the part of the special servicer remains unremedied and affects the holder of a Serviced Companion Loan, and the special servicer has not otherwise been terminated, the holder of such Serviced Companion Loan (or, if applicable, the related trustee, acting at the direction of the related directing certificateholder (or similar entity)) will be entitled to direct the trustee to terminate the special servicer solely with respect to the related Serviced Whole Loan. The appointment (or replacement) of the special servicer

 

 545

 

 

with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan will in any event be subject to Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and confirmation from the applicable rating agencies that such appointment (or replacement) will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the then-current ratings of any class of any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Securities. A replacement special servicer will be selected by the trustee or, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, by the Directing Certificateholder; provided, however, that any successor special servicer appointed to replace the special servicer with respect to a Serviced Mortgage Loan cannot at any time be the person (or an affiliate of such person) that was terminated at the direction of the holder of the related Serviced Companion Loan, without the prior written consent of such holder of the related Serviced Companion Loan.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the section above, if a servicer termination event on the part of a Non-Serviced Special Servicer remains unremedied and affects the issuing entity, and such Non-Serviced Special Servicer has not otherwise been terminated, the trustee, acting at the direction of the Directing Certificateholder, will generally be entitled to direct the related Non-Serviced Trustee to terminate such Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as applicable, solely with respect to the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan(s), and a successor will be appointed in accordance with the related Non-Serviced PSA.

 

In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the section described above, if the master servicer receives notice of termination solely due to a Servicer Termination Event described in clause (f) or (g) under “—Termination of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer for Cause—Servicer Termination Events” above, and prior to being replaced as described in the third preceding paragraph, the master servicer will have 45 days after receipt of the notice of termination to find, and sell its rights and obligations to, a successor master servicer that meets the requirements of the master servicer under the PSA; provided that the Rating Agencies have each provided a Rating Agency Confirmation and the Companion Loan Securities Rating Agencies have provided a confirmation from the applicable rating agencies that such sale will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the then-current ratings of any class of any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Securities. The termination of the master servicer will be effective when such successor master servicer has succeeded the terminated master servicer, as successor master servicer and such successor master servicer has assumed the terminated master servicer’s servicing obligations and responsibilities under the PSA. If a successor has not entered into the PSA as successor master servicer within 45 days after notice of the termination of the master servicer, the master servicer will be replaced by the trustee as described above.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) if any Servicer Termination Event on the part of the master servicer affects a Serviced Companion Loan, the related holder of a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan or the rating on any class of securities backed, wholly or partially, by any Serviced Companion Loan (“Serviced Companion Loan Securities”), and if the master servicer is not otherwise terminated, or (2) if any Servicer Termination Event on the part of the master servicer affects only a Serviced Companion Loan, the related holder of a Serviced Companion Loan or the rating on any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, then the master servicer may not be terminated by or at the direction of the related holder of such Serviced Companion Loan or the holders of any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, but upon the written direction of the related holder of such Serviced Companion Loan, the master servicer will be required to appoint a sub-servicer that will be responsible for servicing the related Serviced Whole Loan.

 

 546

 

 

Further, if replaced as a result of a Servicer Termination Event, the master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, will be responsible for the costs and expenses associated with the transfer of its duties.

 

Waiver of Servicer Termination Event

 

The Certificateholders representing at least 66-2/3% of the Voting Rights allocated to certificates affected by any Servicer Termination Event may waive such Servicer Termination Event; provided, however, that a Servicer Termination Event under clause (a), (b) or (f) of the definition of “Servicer Termination Event” may be waived only with the consent of all of the Certificateholders of the affected classes and a Servicer Termination Event under clause (c) of the definition of “Servicer Termination Event” relating to Exchange Act reporting may be waived only with the consent of the depositor. Upon any such waiver of a Servicer Termination Event, such Servicer Termination Event will cease to exist and will be deemed to have been remedied. Upon any such waiver of a Servicer Termination Event by Certificateholders, the trustee and the certificate administrator will be entitled to recover all costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with enforcement actions taken with respect to such Servicer Termination Event prior to such waiver from the issuing entity.

 

Resignation of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer

 

The PSA permits the master servicer and the special servicer to resign from their respective obligations only upon (a) the appointment of, and the acceptance of the appointment by, a successor (which may be appointed by the resigning master servicer or special servicer, as applicable) and receipt by the certificate administrator and the trustee of a Rating Agency Confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies and confirmation of the applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Securities (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation required under the PSA may be considered satisfied with respect to the certificates as described in this prospectus); and, as to the special servicer only, for so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the approval of such successor by the Directing Certificateholder, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or (b) a determination that their respective obligations are no longer permissible with respect to the master servicer or the special servicer, as the case may be, under applicable law. In the event that the master servicer or special servicer resigns as a result of the determination that their respective obligations are no longer permissible under applicable law, the trustee will then succeed to all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the defaulting party as master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, under the PSA and will be entitled to similar compensation arrangements. If the trustee is unwilling or unable to so act, it may appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, a mortgage loan servicing institution, subject to the trustee’s receipt of a Rating Agency Confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies and confirmation of the applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Securities (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation required under the PSA may be considered satisfied with respect to the certificates as described in this prospectus) and, with respect to a successor special servicer, for so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, which has been approved by the Directing Certificateholder, which approval may not be unreasonably withheld.

 

 547

 

 

No resignation will become effective until the trustee or other successor has assumed the obligations and duties of the resigning master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, under the PSA. Further, the resigning master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, must pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses associated with the transfer of its duties. Other than as described under “—Termination of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer for Cause—Servicer Termination Events” above, in no event will the master servicer or the special servicer have the right to appoint any successor master servicer or special servicer if the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, is terminated or removed pursuant to the PSA. In addition, the PSA will prohibit the appointment of the asset representations reviewer, the operating advisor or one of their respective affiliates as successor to the master servicer or special servicer.

 

Limitation on Liability; Indemnification

 

The PSA will provide that none of the master servicer (including in any capacity as the paying agent for any Companion Loan), the special servicer, the depositor, the operating advisor, the asset representations reviewer or any partner, shareholder, member, manager, director, officer, employee or agent of any of them will be under any liability to the issuing entity, Certificateholders or holders of the related Companion Loan, as applicable, for any action taken, or not taken, in good faith pursuant to the PSA or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that none of the master servicer (including in any capacity as the paying agent for any Serviced Companion Loan), the special servicer, the depositor, the operating advisor, the asset representations reviewer or similar person will be protected against any breach of a representation or warranty made by such party, as applicable, in the PSA or any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence in the performance of obligations or duties under the PSA or by reason of negligent disregard of such obligations and duties. For the purposes of indemnification of the master servicer or the special servicer and limitation of liability, the master servicer or special servicer will be deemed not to have engaged in willful misconduct or committed bad faith or negligence in the performance of its respective obligations and duties under the PSA or acted in negligent disregard of such obligations and duties if the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, fails to follow the terms of the Mortgage Loan documents because the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, determines that compliance with any Mortgage Loan documents would or potentially would cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust or cause a tax to be imposed on the trust or any Trust REMIC or the Grantor Trust under the relevant provisions of the Code (for which determination, the master servicer and special servicer will be entitled to rely on advice of counsel, the cost of which will be reimbursed as an additional trust fund expense). The PSA will also provide that the master servicer (including in any capacity as the paying agent for any Serviced Companion Loan), the special servicer, the depositor, the operating advisor, the asset representations reviewer and their respective affiliates and any partner, shareholder, member, manager, director, officer, employee or agent of any of them will be entitled to indemnification by the issuing entity against any claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments, and other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses incurred in connection with any actual or threatened legal or administrative action or claim that relates to the PSA, the Mortgage Loans, any related Serviced Companion Loan, the issuing entity or the certificates; provided, however, that the indemnification will not extend to any loss, liability or expense specifically required to be borne by such party pursuant to the terms the PSA, incurred in connection with any breach of a representation or warranty made by such party, as applicable, in the PSA or incurred by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence in the performance of obligations or duties under the PSA, by reason of negligent disregard of such party’s obligations or duties,

 

 548

 

 

or in the case of the depositor and any of its partners, shareholders, directors, officers, members, managers, employees and agents, any violation by any of them of any state or federal securities law. In addition, absent actual fraud (as determined by a final non-appealable court order), neither the trustee nor the certificate administrator (including its capacity as custodian) will be liable for special, punitive, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the trustee or the certificate administrator has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

 

The PSA will also provide that any master servicer, depositor, special servicer, operating advisor (or the equivalent), asset representations reviewer, paying agent or trustee under any Non-Serviced PSA with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and any partner, director, officer, shareholder, member, manager, employee or agent of any of them, will be entitled to indemnification by the issuing entity and held harmless against the issuing entity’s pro rata share (subject to the applicable Intercreditor Agreement) of any and all claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses incurred in connection with servicing and administration of such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and the related Mortgaged Property (as and to the same extent the securitization trust formed under the related Non-Serviced PSA is required to indemnify such parties in respect of other mortgage loans in the securitization trust formed under the related Non-Serviced PSA pursuant to the terms of such Non-Serviced PSA).

 

In addition, the PSA will provide that none of the master servicer (including in any capacity as the paying agent for any Companion Loan), the special servicer, the depositor, operating advisor or asset representations reviewer will be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal or administrative action, proceeding, hearing or examination that is not incidental to its respective responsibilities under the PSA or that in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability not recoverable from the issuing entity. However, each of the master servicer, the special servicer, the depositor, the operating advisor and the asset representations reviewer will be permitted, in the exercise of its discretion, to undertake any action, proceeding, hearing or examination that it may deem necessary or desirable with respect to the enforcement and/or protection of the rights and duties of the parties to the PSA and the interests of the Certificateholders (and, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the rights of the Certificateholders and the holders of the related Serviced Companion Loan (as a collective whole), taking into account the pari passu nature of such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) under the PSA; provided, however, that if a Serviced Whole Loan and/or the holder of the related Companion Loan are involved, such expenses, costs and liabilities will be payable out of funds related to such Serviced Whole Loan in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement and will also be payable out of the other funds in the Collection Account if amounts on deposit with respect to such Serviced Whole Loan are insufficient therefor. If any such expenses, costs or liabilities relate to a Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan, then any subsequent recovery on that Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan, as applicable, will be used to reimburse the issuing entity for any amounts advanced for the payment of such expenses, costs or liabilities. In that event, the legal expenses and costs of the action, proceeding, hearing or examination and any liability resulting therefrom, will be expenses, costs and liabilities of the issuing entity, and the master servicer (including in its capacity as the paying agent for any Companion Loan), the special servicer, the depositor, the asset representations reviewer or the operating advisor, as the case may be, will be entitled to be reimbursed out of the Collection Account for the expenses.

 

 549

 

 

Pursuant to the PSA, the master servicer and the special servicer will each be required to maintain a fidelity bond and errors and omissions policy or their equivalent with a qualified insurer that provides coverage against losses that may be sustained as a result of an officer’s or employee’s misappropriation of funds or errors and omissions, subject to certain limitations as to amount of coverage, deductible amounts, conditions, exclusions and exceptions permitted by the PSA. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the master servicer and special servicer will be allowed to self-insure with respect to an errors and omissions policy and a fidelity bond so long as certain conditions set forth in the PSA are met.

 

Any person into which the master servicer, the special servicer, the depositor, operating advisor, or asset representations reviewer may be merged or consolidated, or any person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the master servicer, the special servicer, the depositor, operating advisor or asset representations reviewer is a party, or any person succeeding to the business of the master servicer, the special servicer, the depositor, operating advisor or asset representations reviewer, will be the successor of the master servicer, the special servicer, the depositor, operating advisor or asset representations reviewer, as the case may be, under the PSA, subject to certain conditions set forth in the PSA. The master servicer, the special servicer, the operating advisor and the asset representations reviewer may have other normal business relationships with the depositor or the depositor’s affiliates.

 

The trustee and the certificate administrator make no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of the PSA (other than as to it being a valid obligation of the trustee and the certificate administrator), the certificates, the Mortgage Loans, this prospectus (other than as to the accuracy of the information provided by the trustee and the certificate administrator as set forth above) or any related documents and will not be accountable for the use or application by the depositor of any of the certificates issued to it or of the proceeds of such certificates, or for the use or application of any funds paid to the depositor in respect of the assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the issuing entity, or any funds deposited in or withdrawn from the Collection Account or any other account by or on behalf of the depositor, either the master servicer, the special servicer or, in the case of the trustee, the certificate administrator. The PSA provides that no provision of such agreement will be construed to relieve the trustee and the certificate administrator from liability for their own negligent action, their own negligent failure to act or their own willful misconduct or bad faith.

 

The PSA provides that neither the trustee nor the certificate administrator, as applicable, will be liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by a responsible officer of the trustee or the certificate administrator, unless it is proven that the trustee or the certificate administrator, as applicable, was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts. In addition, neither the trustee nor the certificate administrator, as applicable, will be liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of holders of certificates entitled to greater than 25% of the percentage interest of each affected class, or of the aggregate Voting Rights of the certificates, relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee and the certificate administrator, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the trustee and the certificate administrator, under the PSA (unless a higher percentage of Voting Rights is required for such action).

 

The trustee and the certificate administrator and any director, officer, employee, representative or agent of the trustee and the certificate administrator, will be entitled to indemnification by the issuing entity, to the extent of amounts held in the Collection Account or the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account from time to time, for any loss, liability, damages, claims or unanticipated expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees

 

 550

 

 

and expenses) arising out of or incurred by the trustee or the certificate administrator in connection with their participation in the transaction and any act or omission of the trustee or the certificate administrator relating to the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties of the trustee and the certificate administrator (including in any capacities in which they serve, e.g., paying agent, REMIC administrator, authenticating agent, custodian, certificate registrar and 17g-5 Information Provider) under the PSA. However, the indemnification will not extend to any loss, liability or expense that constitutes a specific liability imposed on the trustee or the certificate administrator pursuant to the PSA, or to any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence on the part of the trustee or the certificate administrator in the performance of their obligations and duties under the PSA, or by reason of their negligent disregard of those obligations or duties, or as may arise from a breach of any representation or warranty of the trustee or the certificate administrator made in the PSA.

 

For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any indemnification provisions in the PSA providing that the issuing entity or a party to the PSA is required to indemnify another party to the PSA for costs, fees and expenses, such costs, fees and expenses are intended to include costs (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) of the enforcement of such indemnity.

 

The rights and protections afforded to the trustee and the certificate administrator as set forth above and under the PSA will also apply to the custodian.

 

Enforcement of Mortgage Loan Seller’s Obligations Under the MLPA

 

In the event any party to the PSA receives a request or demand from a Requesting Certificateholder to the effect that a Mortgage Loan should be repurchased or replaced due to a Material Defect, or if such party to the PSA determines that a Mortgage Loan should be repurchased or replaced due to a Material Defect, that party to the PSA will be required to promptly forward such request or demand to the master servicer and special servicer, and the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, will be required to promptly forward it to the related mortgage loan seller. The Enforcing Servicer will be required to enforce the obligations of the mortgage loan sellers under the MLPAs pursuant to the terms of the PSA and the MLPAs. These obligations include obligations resulting from a Material Defect. Subject to the provisions of the applicable MLPA relating to the dispute resolutions as described under “Description of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements—Dispute Resolution Provisions”, such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, if any, will be required to be carried out in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

 

Within 45 days after receipt of an Asset Review Report with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the master servicer (with respect to non-Specially Serviced Loans) or the special servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) will be required to determine whether at that time, based on the Servicing Standard, there exists a Material Defect with respect to such Mortgage Loan. If the master servicer (with respect to non-Specially Serviced Loans) or the special servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) determines that a Material Defect exists, the master servicer or the special servicer, as applicable, will be required to enforce the obligations of the applicable mortgage loan seller under the MLPA with respect to such Material Defect as discussed in the preceding paragraph. See “—The Asset Representations Reviewer—Asset Review” above.

 

Any costs incurred by the master servicer or the special servicer with respect to the enforcement of the obligations of a mortgage loan seller under the applicable MLPA will be deemed to be Servicing Advances, to the extent not recovered from the mortgage loan

seller or the Requesting Certificateholder. See “Description of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements—Dispute Resolution Provisions”.

 

Dispute Resolution Provisions

 

Certificateholder’s Rights When a Repurchase Request Is Initially Delivered by a Certificateholder

 

In the event an Initial Requesting Certificateholder delivers a written request to a party to the PSA that a Mortgage Loan be repurchased by the applicable mortgage loan seller alleging the existence of a Material Defect with respect to such Mortgage Loan and setting forth the basis for such allegation (a “Certificateholder Repurchase Request”), the receiving party will be required to promptly forward that Certificateholder Repurchase Request to the master servicer and the special servicer, and the Enforcing Servicer will be required to promptly forward it to the applicable mortgage loan seller and each other party to the PSA. An “Initial Requesting Certificateholder” is the first Certificateholder or Certificate Owner to deliver a Certificateholder Repurchase Request as described above with respect to a Mortgage Loan, and there may not be more than one Initial Requesting Certificateholder with respect to any Mortgage Loan. Subject to the provisions described below under this heading “—Dispute Resolution Provisions”, the Enforcing Servicer will be the Enforcing Party with respect to the Certificateholder Repurchase Request.

 

The “Enforcing Servicer” will be (a) with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan, the special servicer, and (b) with respect to a non-Specially Serviced Loan, (i) in the case of a Repurchase Request made by the special servicer, the Directing Certificateholder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder, the master servicer, and (ii) in the case of a Repurchase Request made by any person other than the special servicer, the Directing Certificateholder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder, (A) prior to the Resolution Failure relating to such non-Specially Serviced Loan, the master servicer, and (B) from and after a Resolution Failure relating to such non-Specially Serviced Loan, the special servicer.

 

An “Enforcing Party” is the person obligated to or that elects pursuant to the terms of the PSA to enforce the rights of the issuing entity against the related mortgage loan seller with respect to a Repurchase Request.

 

Repurchase Request Delivered by a Party to the PSA

 

In the event that the depositor, the master servicer, the special servicer, the trustee, the certificate administrator, the operating advisor (solely in its capacity as operating advisor) or the Directing Certificateholder identifies a Material Defect with respect to a Mortgage Loan, that party will be required to deliver prompt written notice of such Material Defect to each other party to the PSA and the applicable mortgage loan seller, identifying the applicable Mortgage Loan and setting forth the basis for such allegation (a “PSA Party Repurchase Request” and, each of a Certificateholder Repurchase Request or a PSA Party Repurchase Request, a “Repurchase Request”), and the Enforcing Servicer will be required to promptly send the PSA Party Repurchase Request to the mortgage loan seller. The Enforcing Servicer will be required to act as the Enforcing Party and enforce the rights of the issuing entity against the related mortgage loan seller with respect to the PSA Party Repurchase Request. However, if a Resolution Failure occurs with respect to the PSA Party Repurchase Request, the provisions described below under “—Resolution of a Repurchase Request” will apply.

 

In the event the Repurchase Request is not Resolved within 180 days after the mortgage loan seller receives the Repurchase Request (a “Resolution Failure”), then the provisions

 

 552

 

 

described below under “—Resolution of a Repurchase Request” will apply. Receipt of the Repurchase Request will be deemed to occur 2 business days after the Repurchase Request is sent to the related mortgage loan seller. A Resolved Repurchase Request will not preclude the master servicer (in the case of non-Specially Serviced Loans) or the special servicer (in the case of Specially Serviced Loans) from exercising any of their respective rights related to a Material Defect in the manner and timing otherwise set forth in the PSA, in the related MLPA or as provided by law. “Resolved” means, with respect to a Repurchase Request, (i) that the related Material Defect has been cured, (ii) the related Mortgage Loan has been repurchased in accordance with the related MLPA, (iii) a mortgage loan has been substituted for the related Mortgage Loan in accordance with the related MLPA, (iv) the applicable mortgage loan seller has made a Loss of Value Payment, (v) a contractually binding agreement is entered into between the Enforcing Servicer, on behalf of the issuing entity, and the related mortgage loan seller that settles the related mortgage loan seller’s obligations under the related MLPA or (vi) the related Mortgage Loan is no longer property of the issuing entity as a result of a sale or other disposition in accordance with the PSA.

 

Within 2 business days after a Resolution Failure occurs with respect to a Repurchase Request made by any person other than the special servicer, the Directing Certificateholder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder relating to a non-Specially Serviced Loan, the master servicer will be required to send a written notice (a “Master Servicer Proposed Course of Action Notice”) to the special servicer, indicating the master servicer’s analysis and recommended course of action with respect to such Repurchase Request, along with the servicing file and all information, documents and records (including records stored electronically on computer tapes, magnetic discs and the like) relating to such non-Specially Serviced Loan and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan, either in the master servicer’s possession or otherwise reasonably available to the master servicer without undue burden or expense, and reasonably requested by the special servicer to the extent set forth in the PSA for such non-Specially Serviced Loan. Upon receipt of such Master Servicer Proposed Course of Action Notice and such servicing file, the special servicer will become the Enforcing Servicer with respect to such Repurchase Request.

 

Resolution of a Repurchase Request

 

After a Resolution Failure occurs with respect to a Repurchase Request regarding a Mortgage Loan (whether the Repurchase Request was initiated by an Initial Requesting Certificateholder, a party to the PSA or the Directing Certificateholder), the Enforcing Servicer will be required to send a notice (a “Proposed Course of Action Notice”) to the Initial Requesting Certificateholder, if any, to the address specified in the Initial Requesting Certificateholder’s Repurchase Request, and to the certificate administrator who will make such notice available to all other Certificateholders and Certificate Owners (by posting such notice on the certificate administrator’s website) indicating the Enforcing Servicer’s intended course of action with respect to the Repurchase Request (a “Proposed Course of Action”). If the master servicer is the enforcing servicer, the master servicer may (but will not be obligated to) consult with the special servicer and (for so long as no Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing) the Directing Certificateholder regarding any Proposed Course of Action. Such notice will be required to include (a) a request to Certificateholders to indicate their agreement with or dissent from such Proposed Course of Action by clearly marking “agree” or “disagree” to the Proposed Course of Action on such notice within 30 days of the date of such notice and a disclaimer that responses received after such 30-day period will not be taken into consideration, (b) a statement that if any Requesting Certificateholder disagrees with the Proposed Course of Action, the Enforcing Servicer will be compelled to follow (either as the Enforcing Party or as the Enforcing Servicer in circumstances where a Certificateholder is acting as the Enforcing Party) the

  

 553

 

 

course of action agreed to and/or proposed by the majority of Requesting Certificateholders that involves referring the matter to mediation or arbitration, as the case may be, in accordance with the procedures relating to the delivery of Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notices and Final Dispute Resolution Election Notices described in this prospectus, (c) a statement that responding Certificateholders will be required to certify their holdings in connection with such response, (d) a statement that only responses clearly marked “agree” or “disagree” with such Proposed Course of Action will be taken into consideration and (e) instructions for responding Certificateholders to send their responses to the Enforcing Servicer and the certificate administrator. The certificate administrator will within three (3) business days after the expiration of the 30-day response period, tabulate the responses received from the Certificateholders and share the results with the Enforcing Servicer. The certificate administrator will only count responses timely received that clearly indicate agreement or dissent with the related Proposed Course of Action and additional verbiage or qualifying language will not be taken into consideration for purposes of determining whether the related Certificateholder agrees or disagrees with the Proposed Course of Action. The certificate administrator will be under no obligation to answer questions from Certificateholders regarding such Proposed Course of Action. For the avoidance of doubt, the certificate administrator’s obligations in connection with this heading “—Resolution of a Repurchase Request” will be limited solely to tabulating Certificateholder responses of “agree” or “disagree” to the Proposed Course of Action, and such obligation will not be construed to impose any enforcement obligation on the certificate administrator. The Enforcing Servicer may conclusively rely (without investigation) on the certificate administrator’s tabulation of the responses of the responding Certificateholders. If (a) the Enforcing Servicer’s intended course of action with respect to the Repurchase Request does not involve pursuing further action to exercise rights against the related mortgage loan seller with respect to the Repurchase Request and the Initial Requesting Certificateholder, if any, or any other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner wishes to exercise its right to refer the matter to mediation (including nonbinding arbitration) or arbitration, as discussed below under “—Mediation and Arbitration Provisions”, or (b) the Enforcing Servicer’s intended course of action is to pursue further action to exercise rights against the related mortgage loan seller with respect to the Repurchase Request but the Initial Requesting Certificateholder, if any, or any other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner does not agree with the dispute resolution method selected by the Enforcing Servicer, then the Initial Requesting Certificateholder, if any, or such other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner may deliver to the Enforcing Servicer a written notice (a “Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice”) within 30 days from the date the Proposed Course of Action Notice is posted on the certificate administrator’s website (the “Dispute Resolution Cut-off Date”) indicating its intent to exercise its right to refer the matter to either mediation or arbitration. In the event that (a) the Enforcing Servicer’s initial Proposed Course of Action indicated a recommendation to undertake mediation or arbitration, (b) any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner delivers a Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice and (c) the Enforcing Servicer also received responses from other Certificateholders or Certificate Owners supporting the Enforcing Servicer’s initial Proposed Course of Action, such additional responses from other Certificateholders or Certificate Owners will also be considered Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notices supporting such Proposed Course of Action for purposes of determining the course of action that involves referring the matter to mediation or arbitration, as the case may be, that is approved by the majority of Certificateholders.

 

If neither the Initial Requesting Certificateholder, if any, nor any other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner entitled to do so delivers a Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice prior to the Dispute Resolution Cut-off Date, no Certificateholder or Certificate Owner otherwise entitled to do so will have the right to refer the Repurchase Request to mediation

 

 554

 

 

or arbitration, and the Enforcing Servicer, as the Enforcing Party, will be the sole party entitled to determine a course of action, including, but not limited to, enforcing the issuing entity’s rights against the related mortgage loan seller, subject to any consent or consultation rights of the Directing Certificateholder.

 

Promptly and in any event within 10 business days following receipt of a Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice from (i) the Initial Requesting Certificateholder, if any, or (ii) any other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner (each of clauses (i) and (ii), a “Requesting Certificateholder”), the Enforcing Servicer will be required to consult with each Requesting Certificateholder regarding such Requesting Certificateholder’s intention to elect either mediation (including nonbinding arbitration) or arbitration as the dispute resolution method with respect to the Repurchase Request (the “Dispute Resolution Consultation”) so that such Requesting Certificateholder may consider the views of the Enforcing Servicer as to the claims underlying the Repurchase Request and possible dispute resolution methods, such discussions to occur and be completed no later than 10 business days following the Dispute Resolution Cut-off Date. The Enforcing Servicer will be entitled to establish procedures the Enforcing Servicer deems in good faith to be in accordance with the Servicing Standard relating to the timing and extent of such consultations. No later than 5 business days after completion of the Dispute Resolution Consultation, a Requesting Certificateholder may provide a final notice to the Enforcing Servicer indicating its decision to exercise its right to refer the matter to either mediation or arbitration (“Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice”).

 

If, following the Dispute Resolution Consultation, no Requesting Certificateholder timely delivers a Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice to the Enforcing Servicer, then the Enforcing Servicer will continue to act as the Enforcing Party and remain obligated under the PSA to determine a course of action, including, but not limited to, enforcing the rights of the issuing entity with respect to the Repurchase Request and no Certificateholder or Certificate Owner will have any further right to elect to refer the matter to mediation or arbitration.

 

If a Requesting Certificateholder timely delivers a Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice to the Enforcing Servicer, then such Requesting Certificateholder will become the Enforcing Party and must promptly submit the matter to mediation (including nonbinding arbitration) or arbitration. If there are more than one Requesting Certificateholder that timely deliver a Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice, then such Requesting Certificateholders will collectively become the Enforcing Party, and the holder or holders of a majority of the Voting Rights among such Requesting Certificateholders will be entitled to make all decisions relating to such mediation or arbitration. If, however, no Requesting Certificateholder commences arbitration or mediation pursuant to the terms of the PSA within 30 days after delivery of its Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice to the Enforcing Servicer, then (i) the rights of a Requesting Certificateholder to act as the Enforcing Party will terminate and no Certificateholder or Certificate Owner will have any further right to elect to refer the matter to mediation or arbitration, (ii) if the Proposed Course of Action Notice indicated that the Enforcing Servicer will take no further action with respect to the Repurchase Request, then the related Material Defect will be deemed waived for all purposes under the PSA and related MLPA; provided, however, that such Material Defect will not be deemed waived with respect to a Requesting Certificateholder, any other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner or the Enforcing Servicer to the extent there is a material change in the facts and circumstances known to such party at the time when the Proposed Course of Action Notice was posted on the certificate administrator’s website and (iii) if the Proposed Course of Action Notice had indicated a course of action other than the course of action under clause (ii), then the Enforcing Servicer will again become the

 

 555

 

 

Enforcing Party and, as such, will be the sole party entitled to enforce the issuing entity’s rights against the related mortgage loan seller.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the dispute resolution provisions described under this heading “—Resolution of a Repurchase Request” will not apply, and the Enforcing Servicer will remain the Enforcing Party, if the Enforcing Servicer has commenced litigation with respect to the Repurchase Request, or determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that it is in the best interest of Certificateholders to commence litigation with respect to the Repurchase Request to avoid the running of any applicable statute of limitations.

 

In the event a Requesting Certificateholder becomes the Enforcing Party, the Enforcing Servicer, on behalf of the issuing entity, will remain a party to any proceedings against the related mortgage loan seller as further described below. For the avoidance of doubt, the depositor, any mortgage loan seller with respect to the subject mortgage loan and any of their respective affiliates will not be entitled to be an Initial Requesting Certificateholder or a Requesting Certificateholder, to act as a Certificateholder for purposes of delivering any Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice or Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice or otherwise to vote Certificates owned by it or such affiliate(s) with respect to a course of action proposed or undertaken pursuant to the procedures described under this “—Dispute Resolution Provisions” heading.

 

The Requesting Certificateholder is entitled to elect either mediation or arbitration in its sole discretion; however, the Requesting Certificateholder may not elect to then utilize the alternative method in the event that the initial method is unsuccessful.

 

Mediation and Arbitration Provisions

 

If the Enforcing Party elects mediation (including nonbinding arbitration) or arbitration, the mediation or arbitration will be administered by a nationally recognized arbitration or mediation organization selected by the related mortgage loan seller. A single mediator or arbitrator will be selected by the mediation or arbitration organization from a list of neutrals maintained by it according to its mediation or arbitration rules then in effect. The mediator or arbitrator must be impartial, an attorney admitted to practice in the State of New York and have at least 15 years of experience in commercial litigation and, if possible, commercial real estate finance or commercial mortgage-backed securitization matters.

 

The expenses of any mediation will be allocated among the parties to the mediation, including, if applicable, between the Enforcing Party and Enforcing Servicer, as mutually agreed by the parties as part of the mediation.

 

In any arbitration, the arbitrator will be required to resolve the dispute in accordance with the MLPA and PSA, and may not modify or change those agreements in any way or award remedies not consistent with those agreements. The arbitrator will not have the power to award punitive or consequential damages. In its final determination, the arbitrator will determine and award the costs of the arbitration to the parties to the arbitration in its reasonable discretion. In the event a Requesting Certificateholder is the Enforcing Party, the Requesting Certificateholder will be required to pay any expenses allocated to the Enforcing Party in the arbitration proceedings or any expenses that the Enforcing Party agrees to bear in the mediation proceedings.

 

The final determination of the arbitrator will be final and non-appealable, except for actions to confirm or vacate the determination permitted under federal or state law, and may be entered and enforced in any court with jurisdiction over the parties and the matter.

By selecting arbitration, the Enforcing Party would be waiving its right to sue in court, including the right to a trial by jury.

 

In the event a Requesting Certificateholder is the Enforcing Party, the agreement with the arbitrator or mediator, as the case may be, will be required under the PSA to contain an acknowledgment that the issuing entity, or the Enforcing Servicer on its behalf, will be a party to any arbitration or mediation proceedings solely for the purpose of being the beneficiary of any award in favor of the Enforcing Party; provided that the degree and extent to which the Enforcing Servicer actively prepares for and participates in such proceeding will be determined by such Enforcing Servicer in consultation with the Directing Certificateholder (provided that no Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing), and in accordance with the Servicing Standard. All amounts recovered by the Enforcing Party will be required to be paid to the issuing entity, or the Enforcing Servicer on its behalf, and deposited in the Collection Account. The agreement with the arbitrator or mediator, as the case may be, will provide that in the event a Requesting Certificateholder is allocated any related costs and expenses pursuant to the terms of the arbitrator’s decision or the agreement reached in mediation, neither the issuing entity nor the Enforcing Servicer acting on its behalf will be responsible for any such costs and expenses allocated to the Requesting Certificateholder.

 

The issuing entity (or the Enforcing Servicer or the trustee, acting on its behalf), the depositor or any mortgage loan seller will be permitted to redact any personally identifiable customer information included in any information provided for purposes of any mediation or arbitration. Each party to the proceedings will be required to agree to keep confidential the details related to the Repurchase Request and the dispute resolution identified in connection with such proceedings; provided, however, that the Certificateholders will be permitted to communicate prior to the commencement of any such proceedings to the extent described under “Description of the Certificates—Certificateholder Communication”.

 

For avoidance of doubt, in no event will the exercise of any right of a Requesting Certificateholder to refer a Repurchase Request to mediation or arbitration or participation in such mediation or arbitration affect in any manner the ability of the special servicer to perform its obligations with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan (including without limitation, a liquidation, foreclosure, negotiation of a loan modification or workout, acceptance of a discounted pay off or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, or bankruptcy or other litigation) or the exercise of any rights of a Directing Certificateholder.

 

Any expenses required to be borne by or allocated to the Enforcing Servicer in mediation or arbitration or related responsibilities under the PSA will be reimbursable as additional trust fund expenses.

 

Servicing of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans

 

The master servicer, the special servicer, the certificate administrator and the trustee under the PSA have no obligation or authority to (a) supervise any related Non-Serviced Master Servicer, Non-Serviced Special Servicer, Non-Serviced Certificate Administrator or Non-Serviced Trustee or (b) make servicing advances with respect to any Non-Serviced Whole Loan. The obligation of the master servicer to provide information and collections and make P&I Advances to the certificate administrator for the benefit of the Certificateholders with respect to each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is dependent on its receipt of the corresponding information and/or collections from the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer or Non-Serviced Special Servicer.

 

 557

 

 

General

 

Each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan will be serviced pursuant to the related Non-Serviced PSA and the related Intercreditor Agreement. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loans” and “—The Non-Serviced AB Whole Loans”.

 

The servicing terms of each such Non-Serviced PSA as it relates to the servicing of the related Non-Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loans will or are expected to be similar in all material respects to the servicing terms of the PSA applicable to the Serviced Mortgage Loans; however, the servicing arrangements under such agreements will differ in certain respects. For example:

 

Each Non-Serviced Master Servicer and Non-Serviced Special Servicer will be required to service the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan pursuant to a servicing standard set forth in the related Non-Serviced PSA that is substantially similar to, but may not be identical to, the Servicing Standard.

 

Any party to the related Non-Serviced PSA that makes a property protection advance with respect to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan will be entitled to reimbursement for that advance, with interest at the prime rate, in a manner substantially similar to the reimbursement of Servicing Advances under the PSA. The Trust, as holder of the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, will be responsible for its pro rata share of any such advance reimbursement amounts (including out of general collections on the UBS 2017-C5 mortgage pool, if necessary).

 

Pursuant to the related Non-Serviced PSA, the liquidation fee, the special servicing fee and the workout fee with respect to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan are similar to the corresponding fees payable under the PSA.

 

The extent to which modification fees or other fee items with respect to the related Whole Loan may be applied to offset interest on advances, servicer expenses and servicing compensation may, in certain circumstances, be less than is the case under the PSA.

 

Items with respect to the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan that are the equivalent of assumption application fees, defeasance fees, assumption, waiver, consent and earnout fees, late payment charges, default interest and/or modification fees and that constitute additional servicing compensation under the related Non-Serviced PSA will not be payable to the master servicer or special servicer under the PSA and one or more of such items will be allocated between the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer and the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer under the related Non-Serviced PSA in proportions that may be different than the allocation of similar fees under the PSA between the master servicer and special servicer for this transaction.

 

The Non-Serviced Directing Certificateholder under the related Non-Serviced PSA will have or is expected to have rights substantially similar to the Directing Certificateholder under the PSA with respect to the servicing and administration of the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan, including consenting to the substantial equivalent of Major Decisions under such Non-Serviced PSA proposed by the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer or Non-Serviced Master Servicer, as applicable, and reviewing and consenting to asset status reports prepared by such Non-Serviced Special Servicer in respect of the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan.

 

 558

 

 

“Major Decisions” under the related Non-Serviced PSA may differ in certain respects from those actions that constitute Major Decisions under the PSA, and therefore the specific types of servicer actions with respect to which the applicable Non-Serviced Directing Certificateholder will be permitted to consent may correspondingly differ. The related Non-Serviced PSA also provides or is expected to provide for the removal of the applicable Non-Serviced Special Servicer by the related Non-Serviced Directing Certificateholder under such Non-Serviced PSA under certain conditions that are similar to the conditions under which the Directing Certificateholder is permitted to replace the special servicer under the PSA.

 

The termination events that will result in the termination of the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer or Non-Serviced Special Servicer are or are expected to be substantially similar to, but not necessarily identical to, the Servicer Termination Events under the PSA applicable to the master servicer and special servicer, as applicable.

 

Servicing transfer events under the related Non-Serviced PSA that would cause the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan to become specially serviced will be or are expected to be substantially similar to, but not necessarily identical to, the corresponding provisions under the PSA.

 

The servicing decisions which the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer will perform, and in certain cases for which the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer must obtain the related Non-Serviced Directing Certificateholder’s or Non-Serviced Special Servicer’s consent, may differ in certain respects from those decisions that constitute Master Servicer Major Decisions under the PSA.

 

The related Non-Serviced Special Servicer will be required to take actions with respect to the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan if it becomes the equivalent of a defaulted mortgage loan, which actions are or are expected to be substantially similar, but not necessarily identical, to the actions described under “—Sale of Defaulted Loans and REO Properties”.

 

Appraisal reduction amounts in respect of the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan will be calculated by the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer under the related Non-Serviced PSA in a manner substantially similar to, but not necessarily identical to, calculations of such amounts by the special servicer under the PSA in respect of Serviced Mortgage Loans.

 

The requirement of the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer to make compensating interest payments in respect of the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is similar, but not necessarily identical, to the requirement of the master servicer to make Compensating Interest Payments in respect of the Serviced Mortgage Loans under the PSA (although the portion of the servicing fee to be applied to make such payments may be less).

 

The servicing provisions under the related Non-Serviced PSA relating to performing inspections and collecting operating information are or are expected to be substantially similar, but not necessarily identical, to those of the PSA.

 

While the special servicer under the PSA and the Non-Serviced Special Servicer under the related Non-Serviced PSA must each resign as special servicer with respect to a mortgage loan if it obtains knowledge that it has become affiliated with the related borrower under such mortgage loan, the particular types of affiliations

 

 559

 

 

that trigger such resignation obligation, as well as the parties that are entitled to appoint a successor special servicer, may differ as between the PSA and the related Non-Serviced PSA.

 

The parties to the related Non-Serviced PSA (and their related directors, officers and other agents) will be entitled to reimbursement and/or indemnification for losses, liabilities, costs and expenses associated with the servicing of the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan under such Non-Serviced PSA to the same extent that parties to the PSA performing similar functions (and their related directors, officers and other agents) are entitled to reimbursement and/or indemnification for losses, liabilities, costs and expenses associated with their obligations under the PSA. The Trust, as holder of the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, will be responsible for its pro rata share of any such indemnification amounts (including out of general collections on the UBS 2017-C5 mortgage pool, if necessary).

 

The matters as to which notice or rating agency confirmation with respect to the rating agencies under the related Non-Serviced PSA are required are or are expected to be similar, but not necessarily identical to, similar matters with respect to the Rating Agencies under the PSA (and such agreements may differ as to whether it is notice or rating agency confirmation that is required).

 

With respect to non-specially serviced mortgage loans, the related Non-Serviced PSA may differ with respect to whether the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer or related Non-Serviced Special Servicer will be responsible for conducting or managing certain litigation related to such mortgage loans.

 

Each of the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer and related Non-Serviced Special Servicer will be liable in accordance with the related Non-Serviced PSA only to the extent of its obligations specifically imposed by that agreement. Accordingly, in general, each of the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer and related Non-Serviced Special Servicer will not be liable for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action, in good faith pursuant to the related Non-Serviced PSA or for errors in judgment; provided that neither such party will be protected against any breach of representations or warranties made by it in the related Non-Serviced PSA or against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of negligent disregard of obligations and duties under the related Non-Serviced PSA.

 

The provisions of the related Non-Serviced PSA may also vary from the PSA with respect to one or more of the following: timing, control or consultation triggers or thresholds, terminology, allocation of ministerial duties between multiple servicers or other service providers or certificateholder or investor voting or consent thresholds, master servicer and special servicer termination events, rating requirements for accounts and permitted investments, eligibility requirements applicable to servicers and other service providers, and the circumstances under which approvals, consents, consultation, notices or rating agency confirmations may be required.

 

The master servicer, the special servicer, the certificate administrator and the trustee under the PSA have no obligation or authority to (a) supervise any related Non-Serviced Master Servicer, Non-Serviced Special Servicer, Non-Serviced Certificate Administrator or Non-Serviced Trustee or (b) make servicing advances with respect to any Non-Serviced Whole Loan. The obligation of the master servicer to provide information and collections

 

 560

 

 

and make P&I Advances to the certificate administrator for the benefit of the Certificateholders with respect to each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is dependent on its receipt of the corresponding information and/or collections from the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer or Non-Serviced Special Servicer.

 

Prospective investors are encouraged to review the full provisions of each of the Non-Serviced PSAs, which are available online at www.sec.gov or by requesting copies from the underwriters.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the servicing of a Servicing Shift Whole Loan is expected to be governed by the PSA only temporarily, until the securitization of the related controlling Pari Passu Companion Loan. Thereafter, such Servicing Shift Whole Loan will be serviced by the related master servicer and, if and to the extent necessary, the related special servicer under and pursuant to the terms of the related Servicing Shift PSA governing such future securitization. Although, in the case of each Servicing Shift Whole Loan, the related Intercreditor Agreement imposes some requirements regarding the terms of the related Servicing Shift PSA governing such future securitization, the securitization to which the related controlling Pari Passu Companion Loan is to be contributed has not been determined, and accordingly, the servicing terms of such future Servicing Shift PSA are unknown and may not be consistent with the description of Non-Serviced PSAs above.

 

Servicing of the Burbank Office Portfolio Mortgage Loan

 

The Burbank Office Portfolio Whole Loan, which includes the Burbank Office Portfolio Mortgage Loan and any related REO Property, is serviced and administered under the DBUBS 2017-BRBK TSA. Accordingly, the DBUBS 2017-BRBK Servicer (or, if it fails to do so, the DBUBS 2017-BRBK Trustee) will generally make property protection advances, unless it is determined in accordance with the DBUBS 2017-BRBK TSA that such property protection advance would not be recoverable from related collections. However, no such party will make a P&I Advance with respect to the Burbank Office Portfolio Mortgage Loan. The DBUBS 2017-BRBK Servicer will generally also remit collections on the Burbank Office Portfolio Mortgage Loan to or on behalf of the trust for this securitization. However, the master servicer for this securitization will generally be obligated to compile reports that include information on the Burbank Office Portfolio Mortgage Loan, and, to the extent required by the Servicing Standard, to enforce the rights of the trust as the holder for this securitization of the Burbank Office Portfolio Mortgage Loan under the terms of the related co-lender agreement and make P&I Advances with respect to the Burbank Office Portfolio Mortgage Loan, subject to any non-recoverability determination.

 

The servicing terms of the DBUBS 2017-BRBK TSA are substantially similar to the servicing terms of the PSA applicable to the Serviced Mortgage Loans; however, the servicing arrangements under such agreements differ in certain respects, including the items set forth above under “—General” and the following:

 

The master servicer, the special servicer, the certificate administrator and the trustee under the PSA will have no obligation or authority to (a) supervise the actions of the DBUBS 2017-BRBK Servicer, the DBUBS 2017-BRBK Special Servicer, the DBUBS 2017-BRBK Trustee or the DBUBS 2017-BRBK Certificate Administrator or (b) make Servicing Advances with respect to the Burbank Office Portfolio Mortgage Loan. The obligation of the master servicer for this securitization to provide information and collections and make P&I Advances to the certificate administrator for the benefit of the Certificateholders with respect to the Burbank Office Portfolio Mortgage Loan is dependent on its receipt of the corresponding information and/or

 

 561

 

 

collections from the DBUBS 2017-BRBK Servicer or the DBUBS 2017-BRBK Special Servicer.

 

The DBUBS 2017-BRBK Servicer will earn a primary servicing fee with respect to the Burbank Office Portfolio Mortgage Loan at a rate equal to 0.00125% per annum. The DBUBS 2017-BRBK Special Servicer will earn a special servicing fee with respect to the Burbank Office Portfolio Mortgage Loan at a rate equal to 0.25% per annum.

 

Pursuant to the DBUBS 2017-BRBK TSA, the liquidation fee and the workout fee with respect to the Burbank Office Portfolio Mortgage Loan are expected to be generally similar to the corresponding fee payable under the PSA, except that the liquidation fee and the workout fee payable under the DBUBS 2017-BRBK TSA each have a fixed fee rate of 0.50% and the liquidation fee is not subject to a $25,000 minimum fee.

 

The DBUBS 2017-BRBK TSA does not provide for any asset representations review procedures or for any dispute resolution procedures similar to those described under “—Dispute Resolution Provisions”. There is no asset representations reviewer (or equivalent party) with respect to the securitization trust created pursuant to DBUBS 2017-BRBK TSA.

 

The DBUBS 2017-BRBK TSA does not require the DBUBS 2017-BRBK Servicer to make the equivalent of compensating interest payments in respect of the Burbank Office Portfolio Whole Loan.

 

The DBUBS 2017-BRBK TSA and the PSA vary as regards to the extent to which late payment charges, default interest, modification fees, assumption fees, consent fees, defeasance fees and other ancillary fees are allocated to (i) cover or offset expenses, (ii) pay master servicing compensation and (iii) pay special servicing compensation, and such items will not be passed through to the trust for this securitization transaction.

 

Property protection advances with respect to the Burbank Office Portfolio Whole Loan are reimbursable out of related collections, together with interest thereon at a prime rate. If the DBUBS 2017-BRBK Servicer determines that a property protection advance it made with respect to the Burbank Office Portfolio Whole Loan or the related Mortgaged Property is nonrecoverable, such property protection advance will be reimbursed in full from any collections on the Burbank Office Portfolio Whole Loan before any allocation or distribution is made in respect of the principal and interest payments on the Burbank Office Portfolio Whole Loan. In the event that collections received after the final liquidation of the Burbank Office Portfolio Whole Loan or the related Mortgaged Property are not sufficient to reimburse such property protection advances in full or pay other fees and trust fund expenses in full, the issuing entity will be required to pay its pro rata share of such fees and expenses as described above.

 

In the event that the DBUBS 2017-BRBK Servicer determines that the monthly debt service advances on the Burbank Office Portfolio Companion Loans are nonrecoverable, and the master servicer also determines that any P&I Advances on the Burbank Office Portfolio Mortgage Loan are nonrecoverable, such advances will be reimbursed first in the following order before any amounts are allocated or distributed in respect of the interest or principal payment on the Burbank Office Portfolio Mortgage Loan or the Burbank Office Portfolio Pari Passu Companion Loans.

 

 562

 

 

The DBUBS 2017-BRBK Servicer is generally responsible for servicing and administration of the Burbank Office Portfolio Mortgage Loan prior to the occurrence of, and after the correction of, any special servicing loan event with respect to the Burbank Office Portfolio Mortgage Loan, and the DBUBS 2017-BRBK Special Servicer is generally responsible for servicing and administration of the Burbank Office Portfolio Mortgage Loan while a special servicing loan event exists with respect thereto or if the related Mortgaged Property becomes an REO Property. However, the consent (or deemed consent) of the DBUBS 2017-BRBK Special Servicer (subject to the rights of the Burbank Office Portfolio Directing Certificateholder) will generally be required for all major decisions with respect to the Burbank Office Portfolio Whole Loan even if no special servicing loan event exists with respect thereto. The major decisions and special servicing loan events under the DBUBS 2017-BRBK TSA vary, in some respects, from Major Decisions and servicing transfer events under the PSA.

 

The DBUBS 2017-BRBK Trustee is the mortgagee of record with respect to the Burbank Office Portfolio Whole Loan.

 

The custodian under the DBUBS 2017-BRBK TSA is generally responsible for holding the loan documents with respect to the Burbank Office Portfolio Whole Loan (other than the original promissory note for the Burbank Office Portfolio Mortgage Loan and any allonges thereto). However, from time to time to the extent necessary for the servicing and administration of the Burbank Office Portfolio Whole Loan, related loan documents will be released to the DBUBS 2017-BRBK Servicer or the DBUBS 2017-BRBK Special Servicer.

 

The DBUBS 2017-BRBK Servicer (if the Burbank Office Portfolio Whole Loan is not subject to special servicing) or the DBUBS 2017-BRBK Special Servicer (if the Burbank Office Portfolio Whole Loan is subject to special servicing) (subject to, if and when applicable, the consent/consultation rights of the Burbank Office Portfolio Directing Certificateholder and the Burbank Office Portfolio Operating Advisor), are able agree to modify, waive or amend any term of the Burbank Office Portfolio Whole Loan if such modification, waiver or amendment (i) is consistent with the related servicing standard and (ii) would not (A) cause any REMIC created under the DBUBS 2017-BRBK TSA to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or (B) result in the imposition of a tax upon any such REMIC. However, neither the DBUBS 2017-BRBK Servicer nor the DBUBS 2017-BRBK Special Servicer may extend the maturity date of the Burbank Office Portfolio Whole Loan beyond 7 years prior to the latest rated final distribution date.

 

Each of the DBUBS 2017-BRBK Servicer and the DBUBS 2017-BRBK Special Servicer are liable in accordance with the DBUBS 2017-BRBK TSA only to the extent of their obligations specifically imposed by that agreement. Accordingly, in general, each of the DBUBS 2017-BRBK Servicer and the DBUBS 2017-BRBK Special Servicer will not be liable for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to the DBUBS 2017-BRBK TSA or for errors in judgment; provided that neither such party will be protected against any breach or representations or warranties made by it in the DBUBS 2017-BRBK TSA or against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of negligent disregard of obligations and duties under the DBUBS 2017-BRBK TSA.

 

The DBUBS 2017-BRBK TSA provides that each of the DBUBS 2017-BRBK Servicer and the DBUBS 2017-BRBK Special Servicer (and, in each case, certain related persons) will be entitled to indemnification for all losses, liabilities and expenses

 

 563

 

 

(including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred in connection with any legal action or other claims, losses, penalties, fines, foreclosures, judgments or liabilities relating to the DBUBS 2017-BRBK TSA, the Burbank Office Portfolio Whole Loan, the Burbank Office Portfolio Intercreditor Agreement, the related Mortgaged Property or certificates issued under the DBUBS 2017-BRBK TSA (other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by such party by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence by it in the performance of its duties or by reason of negligent disregard of its obligations and duties under the DBUBS 2017-BRBK TSA). The Burbank Office Portfolio Intercreditor Agreement requires that the PSA provide that the DBUBS 2017-BRBK Servicer, the DBUBS 2017-BRBK Special Servicer, the DBUBS 2017-BRBK Certificate Administrator, the DBUBS 2017-BRBK Trustee or depositor under the DBUBS 2017-BRBK TSA and any director, officer, employee or agent of any of them will be entitled to indemnification by the trust fund for this securitization transaction against such trust fund’s pro rata share of any loss, liability, claim, cost or expense incurred in connection with the servicing and administration of the Burbank Office Portfolio Whole Loan or the related Mortgaged Property (or with respect to such operating advisor, incurred in connection with the provision of services for the Burbank Office Portfolio Whole Loan).

 

Prospective investors are encouraged to review the full provisions of the DBUBS 2017-BRBK TSA, which is expected to be available on the Closing Date, by requesting a copy from the underwriters.

Servicing of the 237 Park Avenue Mortgage Loan

 

The 237 Park Avenue Whole Loan, which includes the 237 Park Avenue Mortgage Loan and any related REO Property, is serviced and administered under the MSSG 2017-237P TSA. Accordingly, the 237 Park Avenue Servicer (or, if it fails to do so, the trustee under the MSSG 2017-237P TSA) will generally make property protection advances, unless it is determined in accordance with the MSSG 2017-237P TSA that such property protection advance would not be recoverable from related collections. However, no such party will make a P&I Advance with respect to the 237 Park Avenue Mortgage Loan. The 237 Park Avenue Servicer will generally also remit collections on the 237 Park Avenue Mortgage Loan to or on behalf of the trust for this securitization. However, the master servicer for this securitization will generally be obligated to compile reports that include information on the 237 Park Avenue Mortgage Loan, and, to the extent required by the Servicing Standard, to enforce the rights of the trust as the holder for this securitization of the 237 Park Avenue Mortgage Loan under the terms of the related co-lender agreement and make P&I Advances with respect to the 237 Park Avenue Mortgage Loan, subject to any non-recoverability determination.

 

The servicing terms of the MSSG 2017-237P TSA are substantially similar to the servicing terms of the PSA applicable to the Serviced Mortgage Loans; however, the servicing arrangements under such agreements differ in certain respects, including the items set forth above under “—General” and the following:

 

The master servicer, the special servicer, the certificate administrator and the trustee under the PSA will have no obligation or authority to (a) supervise the actions of the 237 Park Avenue Servicer, the 237 Park Avenue Special Servicer or the trustee or the certificate administrator under the MSSG 2017-237P TSA or (b) make Servicing Advances with respect to the 237 Park Avenue Mortgage Loan. The

 

 564

 

 

obligation of the master servicer for this securitization to provide information and collections and make P&I Advances to the certificate administrator for the benefit of the Certificateholders with respect to the 237 Park Avenue Mortgage Loan is dependent on its receipt of the corresponding information and/or collections from the 237 Park Avenue Servicer or the 237 Park Avenue Special Servicer.

 

The 237 Park Avenue Servicer will earn a primary servicing fee with respect to the 237 Park Avenue Mortgage Loan at a rate equal to 0.00125% per annum.

 

Pursuant to the MSSG 2017-237P TSA, the liquidation fee, the special servicing fee and the workout fee with respect to the 237 Park Avenue Mortgage Loan are expected to be generally similar to the corresponding fee payable under the PSA, except that the liquidation fee and the workout fee payable under the MSSG 2017-237P TSA each have a fixed fee rate of 0.50% and the liquidation fee is not subject to a $25,000 minimum fee.

 

The MSSG 2017-237P TSA does not provide for any asset representations review procedures or for any dispute resolution procedures similar to those described under “—Dispute Resolution Provisions”. There is no asset representations reviewer (or equivalent party) with respect to the securitization trust created pursuant to MSSG 2017-237P TSA.

 

The MSSG 2017-237P TSA does not require the 237 Park Avenue Servicer to make the equivalent of compensating interest payments in respect of the 237 Park Avenue Whole Loan.

 

The MSSG 2017-237P TSA and the PSA vary as regards to the extent to which late payment charges, default interest, modification fees, assumption fees, consent fees, defeasance fees and other ancillary fees are allocated to (i) cover or offset expenses, (ii) pay master servicing compensation and (iii) pay special servicing compensation, and such items will not be passed through to the trust for this securitization transaction.

 

Property protection advances with respect to the 237 Park Avenue Whole Loan are reimbursable out of related collections, together with interest thereon at a prime rate. If the 237 Park Avenue Servicer determines that a property protection advance it made with respect to the 237 Park Avenue Whole Loan or the related Mortgaged Property is nonrecoverable, such property protection advance will be reimbursed in full from any collections on the 237 Park Avenue Whole Loan before any allocation or distribution is made in respect of the principal and interest payments on the 237 Park Avenue Whole Loan. In the event that collections received after the final liquidation of the 237 Park Avenue Whole Loan or the related Mortgaged Property are not sufficient to reimburse such property protection advances in full or pay other fees and trust fund expenses in full, the issuing entity will be required to pay its pro rata share of such fees and expenses as described above.

 

In the event that the 237 Park Avenue Servicer determines that the monthly debt service advances on the 237 Park Avenue Companion Loans are nonrecoverable, and the master servicer also determines that any P&I Advances on the 237 Park Avenue Mortgage Loan are nonrecoverable, such advances will be reimbursed first in the following order before any amounts are allocated or distributed in respect of the interest or principal payment on the 237 Park Avenue Mortgage Loan or the 237 Park Avenue Pari Passu Companion Loans: first such advances on the 237 Park Avenue Mortgage Loan and the 237 Park Avenue Pari Passu Companion Loans will be

 

 565

 

 

reimbursed on a pro rata and pari passu basis, and then such advances on the 237 Park Avenue Subordinate Companion Loans will be reimbursed.

 

The 237 Park Avenue Servicer is generally responsible for servicing and administration of the 237 Park Avenue Mortgage Loan prior to the occurrence of, and after the correction of, any special servicing loan event with respect to the 237 Park Avenue Mortgage Loan, and the 237 Park Avenue Special Servicer is generally responsible for servicing and administration of the 237 Park Avenue Mortgage Loan while a special servicing loan event exists with respect thereto or if the related Mortgaged Property becomes an REO Property. However, the consent (or deemed consent) of the 237 Park Avenue Special Servicer (subject to the rights of the 237 Park Avenue Directing Certificateholder) will generally be required for all major decisions with respect to the 237 Park Avenue Whole Loan even if no special servicing loan event exists with respect thereto. The major decisions and special servicing loan events under the MSSG 2017-237P TSA vary, in some respects, from Major Decisions and servicing transfer events under the PSA.

 

The 237 Park Avenue Trustee is the mortgagee of record with respect to the 237 Park Avenue Whole Loan.

 

The custodian under the MSSG 2017-237P TSA is generally responsible for holding the loan documents with respect to the 237 Park Avenue Whole Loan (other than the original promissory note for the 237 Park Avenue Mortgage Loan and any allonges thereto). However, from time to time to the extent necessary for the servicing and administration of the 237 Park Avenue Whole Loan, related loan documents will be released to the 237 Park Avenue Servicer or the 237 Park Avenue Special Servicer.

 

The 237 Park Avenue Servicer (if the 237 Park Avenue Whole Loan is not subject to special servicing) or the 237 Park Avenue Special Servicer (if the 237 Park Avenue Whole Loan is subject to special servicing) (subject to, if and when applicable, the consent/consultation rights of the 237 Park Avenue Directing Certificateholder and the 237 Park Avenue Operating Advisor), are able agree to modify, waive or amend any term of the 237 Park Avenue Whole Loan if such modification, waiver or amendment (i) is consistent with the related servicing standard and (ii) would not (A) cause any REMIC created under the MSSG 2017-237P TSA to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or (B) result in the imposition of a tax upon any such REMIC. However, neither the 237 Park Avenue Servicer nor the 237 Park Avenue Special Servicer may extend the maturity date of the 237 Park Avenue Whole Loan beyond 5 years prior to the latest rated final distribution date.

 

Each of the 237 Park Avenue Servicer and the 237 Park Avenue Special Servicer are liable in accordance with the MSSG 2017-237P TSA only to the extent of their obligations specifically imposed by that agreement. Accordingly, in general, each of the 237 Park Avenue Servicer and the 237 Park Avenue Special Servicer will not be liable for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to the MSSG 2017-237P TSA or for errors in judgment; provided that neither such party will be protected against any breach or representations or warranties made by it in the MSSG 2017-237P TSA or against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of negligent disregard of obligations and duties under the MSSG 2017-237P TSA.

 

The MSSG 2017-237P TSA provides that each of the 237 Park Avenue Trust 2017-245P Master Servicer and the 237 Park Avenue Trust 2017-245P Special Servicer

(and, in each case, certain related persons) will be entitled to indemnification for all losses, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred in connection with any legal action or other claims, losses, penalties, fines, foreclosures, judgments or liabilities relating to the MSSG 2017-237P TSA, the 237 Park Avenue Whole Loan, the 237 Park Avenue Intercreditor Agreement, the related Mortgaged Property or certificates issued under the MSSG 2017-237P TSA (other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by such party by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence by it in the performance of its duties or by reason of negligent disregard of its obligations and duties under the MSSG 2017-237P TSA). The 237 Park Avenue Intercreditor Agreement requires that the PSA provide that any master servicer, special servicer, certificate administrator, trustee, operating advisor or depositor under the MSSG 2017-237P TSA and any director, officer, employee or agent of any of them will be entitled to indemnification by the trust fund for this securitization transaction against such trust fund’s pro rata share of any loss, liability, claim, cost or expense incurred in connection with the servicing and administration of the 237 Park Avenue Whole Loan or the related Mortgaged Property (or with respect to such operating advisor, incurred in connection with the provision of services for the 237 Park Avenue Whole Loan).

 

Prospective investors are encouraged to review the full provisions of the MSSG 2017-237P TSA, which is available by requesting a copy from the underwriters.

Rating Agency Confirmations

 

The PSA will provide that, notwithstanding the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents or other provisions of the PSA, if any action under such Mortgage Loan documents or the PSA requires a Rating Agency Confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies as a condition precedent to such action, if the party (the “Requesting Party”) required to obtain such Rating Agency Confirmations has made a request to any Rating Agency for such Rating Agency Confirmation and, within 10 business days of such request being posted to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s website, such Rating Agency has not replied to such request or has responded in a manner that indicates that such Rating Agency is neither reviewing such request nor waiving the requirement for Rating Agency Confirmation, then such Requesting Party will be required to confirm (through direct communication and not by posting any confirmation on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s website) that the applicable Rating Agency has received the Rating Agency Confirmation request, and, if it has not, promptly request the related Rating Agency Confirmation again. The circumstances described in the preceding sentence are referred to in this prospectus as a “RAC No-Response Scenario”.

 

If there is no response to either such Rating Agency Confirmation request within 5 business days of such second request in a RAC No-Response Scenario or if such Rating Agency has responded in a manner that indicates such Rating Agency is neither reviewing such request nor waiving the requirement for Rating Agency Confirmation, then (x) with respect to any condition in any Mortgage Loan document requiring such Rating Agency Confirmation, or with respect to any other matter under the PSA relating to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans (other than as set forth in clause (y) below), the requirement to obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation will be deemed not to apply (as if such requirement did not exist) with respect to such Rating Agency, and the master servicer or the special servicer, as the case may be, may then take such action if the master servicer or the special servicer, as applicable, confirms its original determination (made prior to making such request) that

 

 567

 

 

taking the action with respect to which it requested the Rating Agency Confirmation would still be consistent with the Servicing Standard, and (y) with respect to a replacement of the master servicer or special servicer, such condition will be deemed not to apply (as if such requirement did not exist) if (i) the applicable replacement master servicer or special servicer has been appointed and currently serves as a master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, on a transaction-level basis on a transaction currently rated by Moody’s that currently has securities outstanding and for which Moody’s has not cited servicing concerns with respect to the applicable replacement master servicer or special servicer as the sole or material factor in any qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of the ratings (or placement on “watch status” in contemplation of a ratings downgrade or withdrawal) of securities in a CMBS transaction serviced by the applicable replacement master servicer or special servicer prior to the time of determination, if Moody’s is the non-responding Rating Agency, (ii) the applicable replacement master servicer or special servicer is rated at least “CMS3” (in the case of the master servicer) or “CSS3” (in the case of the special servicer), if Fitch is the non-responding Rating Agency, (iii) KBRA has not publicly cited servicing concerns of the applicable replacement master servicer or special servicer as the sole or a material factor in any qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of the ratings (or placement on “watch status” in contemplation of a ratings downgrade or withdrawal) of securities in any other commercial mortgage-backed securitization transaction serviced by such master servicer or special servicer prior to the time of determination, if KBRA is the non-responding Rating Agency or (iv) the replacement master servicer or special servicer is on S&P’s Select Servicer List as a U.S. Commercial Mortgage Master Servicer or U.S. Commercial Mortgage Special Servicer, as applicable, if S&P is the non-responding Rating Agency. Promptly following the master servicer’s or special servicer’s determination to take any action discussed above following any requirement to obtain Rating Agency Confirmation being deemed not to apply (as if such requirement did not exist) as described in clause (x) above, the master servicer or special servicer will be required to provide electronic written notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider, who will promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s website pursuant to the PSA, of the action taken.

 

For all other matters or actions not specifically discussed above, the applicable Requesting Party will be required to obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies. In the event an action otherwise requires a Rating Agency Confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies, in absence of such Rating Agency Confirmation, we cannot assure you that any Rating Agency will not downgrade, qualify or withdraw its ratings as a result of any such action taken by the master servicer or the special servicer in accordance with the procedures discussed above.

 

As used above, “Rating Agency Confirmation” means, with respect to any matter, confirmation in writing (which may be in electronic form) by each applicable Rating Agency that a proposed action, failure to act or other event specified in this prospectus will not, in and of itself, result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the then-current rating assigned to any class of certificates (if then rated by the Rating Agency); provided that a written waiver or acknowledgment from the Rating Agency indicating its decision not to review the matter for which the Rating Agency Confirmation is sought will be deemed to satisfy the requirement for the Rating Agency Confirmation from the Rating Agency with respect to such matter. The “Rating Agencies” mean Kroll Bond Rating Agency, Inc. (“KBRA”), Fitch Ratings, Inc. (“Fitch”) and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”).

 

Any Rating Agency Confirmation requests made by the master servicer, the special servicer, the certificate administrator, or the trustee, as applicable, pursuant to the PSA, will be required to be made in writing, which writing must contain a cover page indicating the nature of the Rating Agency Confirmation request, and must contain all back-up material

 

 568

 

 

necessary for the Rating Agency to process such request. Such written Rating Agency Confirmation requests must be provided in electronic format to the 17g-5 Information Provider (who will be required to post such request on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s website in accordance with the PSA).

 

The master servicer, the special servicer, the certificate administrator and the trustee will be permitted (but not obligated) to orally communicate with the Rating Agencies regarding any of the Mortgage Loan documents or any matter related to the Mortgage Loans, the related Mortgaged Properties, the related borrowers or any other matters relating to the PSA or any related Intercreditor Agreement; provided that such party summarizes the information provided to the Rating Agencies in such communication in writing and provides the 17g-5 Information Provider with such written summary the same day such communication takes place; provided, further, that the summary of such oral communications will not identify with which Rating Agency the communication was. The 17g-5 Information Provider will be required to post such written summary on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s website in accordance with the provisions of the PSA. All other information required to be delivered to the Rating Agencies pursuant to the PSA or requested by the Rating Agencies, will first be provided in electronic format to the 17g-5 Information Provider, who will be required to post such information to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s website in accordance with the PSA.

 

The PSA will provide that the PSA may be amended to change the procedures regarding compliance with Rule 17g-5 without any Certificateholder consent; provided that notice of any such amendment must be provided to the 17g-5 Information Provider (who will post such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s website) and to the certificate administrator (which will post such report to the certificate administrator’s website).

 

To the extent a rating agency confirmation is required under the PSA in connection with any servicing action involving a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Serviced Whole Loan, a rating agency confirmation will generally be required from the applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of any such rating agency’s then-current ratings of any affected Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Securities, provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as described above with respect to any Rating Agency Confirmation from a Rating Agency.

 

Evidence as to Compliance

 

The master servicer, the special servicer (regardless of whether the special servicer has commenced special servicing of a Mortgage Loan), the custodian, the trustee (provided, however, that the trustee will not be required to deliver an assessment of compliance with respect to any period during which there was no relevant servicing criteria applicable to it) and the certificate administrator will be required to furnish (and each such party will be required, with respect to each servicing function participant with which it has entered into a servicing relationship with respect to the Mortgage Loans, to cause (or, in the case of a sub-servicer that is also a servicing function participant that a mortgage loan seller requires the master servicer to retain, to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause) such servicing function participant to furnish), to the depositor, the certificate administrator, the trustee and the 17g-5 Information Provider, an officer’s certificate of the officer responsible for the servicing activities of such party stating, among other things, that (i) a review of that party’s activities during the preceding calendar year or portion of that year and of performance under the PSA or any sub-servicing agreement in the case of an additional master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, has been made under such officer’s supervision and (ii) to the best of such officer’s knowledge, based on the review, such party

 

 569

 

 

has fulfilled all of its obligations under the PSA or the sub-servicing agreement in the case of an additional master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, in all material respects throughout the preceding calendar year or portion of such year, or, if there has been a failure to fulfill any such obligation in any material respect, specifying each such failure known to such officer and the nature and status of the failure.

 

In addition, the master servicer, the special servicer (regardless of whether the special servicer has commenced special servicing of any Mortgage Loan), the trustee (but only if an advance was made by the trustee in the calendar year), the custodian, the certificate administrator and the operating advisor, each at its own expense, will be required to furnish (and each such party will be required, with respect to each servicing function participant with which it has entered into a servicing relationship with respect to the Mortgage Loans, to cause (or, in the case of a sub-servicer that is also a servicing function participant that a mortgage loan seller requires the master servicer to retain, to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause) such servicing function participant to furnish) to the trustee, the certificate administrator, the 17g-5 Information Provider and the depositor (and, with respect to the special servicer, also to the operating advisor) a report (an “Assessment of Compliance”) assessing compliance by that party with the servicing criteria set forth in Item 1122(d) of Regulation AB (as described below) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) that contains the following:

 

a statement of the party’s responsibility for assessing compliance with the servicing criteria set forth in Item 1122 of Regulation AB applicable to it;

 

a statement that the party used the criteria in Item 1122(d) of Regulation AB to assess compliance with the applicable servicing criteria;

 

the party’s assessment of compliance with the applicable servicing criteria during and as of the end of the fiscal year, covered by the Form 10-K required to be filed pursuant to the PSA setting forth any material instance of noncompliance identified by the party, a discussion of each such failure and the nature and status of such failure; and

 

a statement that a registered public accounting firm has issued an attestation report (an “Attestation Report”) on the party’s assessment of compliance with the applicable servicing criteria during and as of the end of the prior fiscal year.

 

Each party that is required to deliver an Assessment of Compliance will also be required to simultaneously deliver an Attestation Report of a registered public accounting firm, prepared in accordance with the standards for attestation engagements issued or adopted by the public company accounting oversight board, that expresses an opinion, or states that an opinion cannot be expressed (and the reasons for this), concerning the party’s assessment of compliance with the applicable servicing criteria set forth in Item 1122(d) of Regulation AB.

 

With respect to each Non-Serviced Whole Loan, each of the Non-Serviced Master Servicer, the Non-Serviced Special Servicer, the Non-Serviced Trustee and the Non-Serviced Certificate Administrator will have obligations under the related Non-Serviced PSA similar to those described above.

 

Regulation AB” means subpart 229.1100 – Asset Backed Securities (Regulation AB), 17 C.F.R. §§229.1100–229.1125, as such may be amended from time to time, and subject to such clarification and interpretation as have been provided by the SEC or by the staff of the SEC, or as may be provided by the SEC or its staff from time to time.

Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders to Institute a Proceeding

 

Other than with respect to any rights to deliver a Certificateholder Repurchase Request and exercise the rights described under “—Dispute Resolution Provisions”, no Certificateholder will have any right under the PSA to institute any proceeding with respect to the PSA or with respect to the certificates, unless the holder previously has given to the trustee and the certificate administrator written notice of default and the continuance of the default and unless (except in the case of a default by the trustee) the holders of certificates of any class evidencing not less than 25% of the aggregate Percentage Interests constituting the class have made written request upon the trustee to institute a proceeding in its own name (as trustee) and have offered to the trustee reasonable indemnity satisfactory to it, and the trustee for 60 days after receipt of the request and indemnity has neglected or refused to institute the proceeding. However, the trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by the PSA or the certificates or to institute, conduct or defend any related litigation at the request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders, unless the Certificateholders have offered to the trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred as a result.

 

Each Certificateholder will be deemed under the PSA to have expressly covenanted with every other Certificateholder and the trustee, that no one or more Certificateholders will have any right in any manner whatsoever by virtue of any provision of the PSA or the certificates to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the holders of any other certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other Certificateholder, or to enforce any right under the PSA or the certificates, except in the manner provided in the PSA or the certificates and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Certificateholders.

 

Termination; Retirement of Certificates

 

The obligations created by the PSA will terminate upon payment (or provision for payment) to all Certificateholders of all amounts held by the certificate administrator on behalf of the trustee and required to be paid on the Distribution Date following the earlier of (1) the final payment (or related Advance) or other liquidation of the last Mortgage Loan and REO Property (as applicable) subject to the PSA, (2) the voluntary exchange of all the then-outstanding certificates (other than the Class Z and Class R certificates) for the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties remaining in the issuing entity (provided, however, that (A) the aggregate certificate balance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-S, Class B, Class C and Class D certificates is reduced to zero, (B) there is only one holder (or multiple holders acting unanimously) of the then-outstanding certificates (other than the Class Z and Class R certificates) and (C) the master servicer consents to the exchange) or (3) the purchase or other liquidation of all of the assets of the issuing entity as described below by the holders of the Controlling Class, the special servicer, the master servicer or the holders of the Class R certificates, in that order of priority. Written notice of termination of the PSA will be given by the certificate administrator to each Certificateholder, each holder of a Serviced Companion Loan and the 17g-5 Information Provider (who will promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s website). The final distribution will be made only upon surrender and cancellation of the certificates at the office of the certificate registrar or other location specified in the notice of termination.

 

The holders of the Controlling Class, the special servicer, the master servicer and the holders of the Class R certificates (in that order) will have the right to purchase all of the assets of the issuing entity. This purchase of all the Mortgage Loans and other assets in the

 

 571

 

 

issuing entity is required to be made at a price equal to (a) the sum of (1) the aggregate Purchase Price of all the Mortgage Loans (exclusive of REO Loans) then included in the issuing entity, (2) the appraised value of the issuing entity’s portion of all REO Properties then included in the issuing entity (which fair market value for any REO Property may be less than the Purchase Price for the corresponding REO Loan), as determined by an appraiser selected by the special servicer and approved by the master servicer and the Controlling Class and (3) if the Mortgaged Property secures a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and is an REO Property under the terms of the related Non-Serviced PSA, the pro rata portion of the fair market value of the related property, as determined by the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer in accordance with clause (2) above., less (b) solely in the case where the master servicer is exercising such purchase right, the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Advances and unpaid Servicing Fees remaining outstanding and payable solely to the master servicer (which items will be deemed to have been paid or reimbursed to the master servicer in connection with such purchase). This purchase will effect early retirement of the then-outstanding certificates, but the rights of the holders of the Controlling Class, the special servicer, the master servicer or the holders of the Class R certificates to effect the termination is subject to the requirements that the then aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the pool of Mortgage Loans be less than 1.0% of the Initial Pool Balance. The voluntary exchange of certificates (other than the Class Z and Class R certificates), for the remaining Mortgage Loans is not subject to the above described percentage limits but is limited to each such class of outstanding certificates being held by one Certificateholder (or group of Certificateholders acting unanimously) who must voluntarily participate.

 

On the applicable Distribution Date, the aggregate amount paid by the holders of the Controlling Class, the special servicer, the master servicer or the holders of the Class R certificates, as the case may be, for the Mortgage Loans and other applicable assets in the issuing entity, together with all other amounts on deposit in the Collection Account and not otherwise payable to a person other than the Certificateholders, will be applied generally as described above under “Description of the Certificates—Distributions—Priority of Distributions”.

(d)   to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions to the extent as will be necessary to maintain the qualification of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC or the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code at all times that any certificate is outstanding, or to avoid or minimize the risk of imposition of any tax on the issuing entity, any Trust REMIC or the Grantor Trust; provided that the trustee and the certificate administrator have received an opinion of counsel (at the expense of the party requesting the amendment) to the effect that (1) the action is necessary or desirable to maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize the risk of imposition of any such tax and (2) the action will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any holder of the certificates or holder of a Companion Loan;

 

(e)   to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions to restrict (or to remove any existing restrictions with respect to) the transfer of the Residual Certificates; provided that the depositor has determined that the amendment will not, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel, give rise to any tax with respect to the transfer of the Residual Certificates to a non-permitted transferee;

 

(f)    to revise or add any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the PSA or any other change, provided that the required action will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or any holder of a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan not consenting to such revision or addition, as evidenced in writing by an opinion of counsel at the expense of the party requesting such amendment or as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies with respect to such amendment or supplement and confirmation of the applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any securities related to a Companion Loan, if any (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the certificates as described in this prospectus);

 

(g)   to amend or supplement any provision of the PSA to the extent necessary to maintain the then-current ratings assigned to each class of Offered Certificates by each Rating Agency, as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies and confirmation of the applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any securities related to a Companion Loan, if any (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the certificates as described in this prospectus); provided that such amendment or supplement would not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder not consenting to such amendment or supplement, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel;

 

(h)   to modify the provisions of the PSA with respect to reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances and Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts if (a) the depositor, the master servicer, the trustee and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan and for so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Directing Certificateholder, determine that the commercial mortgage-backed securities industry standard for such provisions has changed, in order to conform to such industry standard, (b) such modification does not adversely affect the status of any Trust REMIC as a REMIC or the status of the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel and (c) a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and confirmation of the applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan

 

 573

 

 

Securities, if any (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the certificates as described in this prospectus);

 

(i)    to modify the procedures set forth in the PSA relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5, provided that the change would not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, as evidenced by (A) an opinion of counsel or (B) if any certificate is then rated, receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency rating such certificates; and provided, further, that the certificate administrator must give notice of any such amendment to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s website and the certificate administration must post such notice to its website;

 

(j)    in the event the Credit Risk Retention Rules or any other regulations applicable to the risk retention requirements for this securitization transaction are amended or repealed, to the extent required to comply with any such amendment or to modify or eliminate the risk retention requirements in the event of such repeal; or

 

(k)   to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions to such extent as will be necessary to comply with the requirements for use of Form SF-3 in registered offerings to the extent provided in CFR 239.45(b)(1)(ii), (iii) or (iv).

 

The PSA may also be amended by the parties to the PSA with the consent of the holders of certificates of each class affected by such amendment evidencing, in each case, a majority of the aggregate Percentage Interests constituting the class for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the PSA or of modifying in any manner the rights of the holders of the certificates, except that the amendment may not directly (1) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the Mortgage Loans that are required to be distributed on a certificate of any class without the consent of the holder of such certificate or which are required to be distributed to a holder of a Companion Loan without the consent of such holder, (2) reduce the aforesaid percentage of certificates of any class the holders of which are required to consent to the amendment or remove the requirement to obtain consent of any holder of a Companion Loan, without the consent of the holders of all certificates of that class then-outstanding or such holder of the related Companion Loan, (3) adversely affect the Voting Rights of any class of certificates, without the consent of the holders of all certificates of that class then-outstanding, (4) change in any manner any defined term used in any MLPA or the obligations or rights of any mortgage loan seller under any MLPA or change any rights of any mortgage loan seller as third party beneficiary under the PSA without the consent of the related mortgage loan seller, or (5) amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the holders of certificates or a Rating Agency Confirmation by each Rating Agency and confirmation of the applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any securities related to a Companion Loan, if any (provided that such rating agency confirmation may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the certificates as described in this prospectus).

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment to the PSA may be made that changes in any manner the obligations or rights of any mortgage loan seller under any MLPA or the rights of any mortgage loan seller, including as a third party beneficiary, under the PSA, without the consent of such mortgage loan seller. In addition, no amendment to the PSA may be made that changes any provisions specifically required to be included in the PSA by the related Intercreditor Agreement or that otherwise materially and adversely affects the

 

 574

 

 

holder of a Companion Loan without the consent of the holder of the related Companion Loan.

 

Also, notwithstanding the foregoing, no party will be required to consent to any amendment to the PSA without the trustee, the certificate administrator, the master servicer, the special servicer, the asset representations reviewer and the operating advisor having first received an opinion of counsel (at the issuing entity’s expense) to the effect that the amendment does not conflict with the terms of the PSA, and that the amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the master servicer, the special servicer, the depositor, the certificate administrator, the trustee, the operating advisor, the asset representations reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with the amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the issuing entity or cause any Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust under the relevant provisions of the Code.

 

Resignation and Removal of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator

 

Each of the trustee and the certificate administrator will at all times be, and will be required to resign if it fails to be, (i) a corporation, national bank, national banking association or a trust company, organized and doing business under the laws of any state or the United States of America, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and to accept the trust conferred under the PSA, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority and, in the case of the trustee, will not be an affiliate of the master servicer or special servicer (except during any period when the trustee is acting as, or has become successor to, the master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be), (ii) an institution insured by the FDIC, (iii) an institution whose long-term senior unsecured debt is rated at least “A2” by Moody’s, “A-” by Fitch and, if rated by KBRA, “A” by KBRA; provided that the trustee will not become ineligible to serve based on a failure to satisfy such rating requirements as long as (a) it maintains a long-term unsecured debt rating of no less than “Baa2” by Moody’s and “A-” by Fitch, (b) its short-term debt obligations have a short-term rating of not less than “P-2” from Moody’s and “F1” by Fitch and (c) the master servicer maintains a rating of at least “A2” by Moody’s and “A+” by Fitch, or such other rating with respect to which the Rating Agencies have provided a Rating Agency Confirmation, and (iv) an entity that is not a prohibited party under the PSA.

 

The trustee and the certificate administrator will be also permitted at any time to resign from their obligations and duties under the PSA by giving written notice (which notice will be posted to the certificate administrator’s website pursuant to the PSA) to the depositor, the master servicer, the special servicer, the trustee or the certificate administrator, as applicable, all Certificateholders, the operating advisor, the asset representations reviewer and the 17g-5 Information Provider (who will promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s website). Upon receiving this notice of resignation, the depositor will be required to use its reasonable best efforts to promptly appoint a successor trustee or certificate administrator acceptable to the master servicer and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder. If no successor trustee or certificate administrator has accepted an appointment within 90 days after the giving of notice of resignation, the resigning trustee or certificate administrator, as applicable, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor trustee or certificate administrator, as applicable, and such petition will be an expense of the issuing entity.

 

If at any time the trustee or certificate administrator ceases to be eligible to continue as trustee or certificate administrator, as applicable, under the PSA, and fails to resign after

 

 575

 

 

written request therefor by the depositor or the master servicer, or if at any time the trustee or certificate administrator becomes incapable of acting, or if certain events of, or proceedings in respect of, bankruptcy or insolvency occur with respect to the trustee or certificate administrator, or if the trustee or certificate administrator fails to timely publish any report to be delivered, published, or otherwise made available by the certificate administrator pursuant to the PSA, and such failure continues unremedied for a period of 5 days, or if the certificate administrator fails to make distributions required pursuant to the PSA, the depositor will be authorized to remove the trustee or certificate administrator, as applicable, and appoint a successor trustee or certificate administrator acceptable to the master servicer. If no successor trustee or certificate administrator has accepted an appointment within 90 days after the giving of notice of removal, the removed trustee or certificate administrator, as applicable, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor trustee or certificate administrator, as applicable, and such petition will be an expense of the issuing entity.

 

At any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the issuing entity or mortgaged property securing the same is located, the trustee will have the power to appoint one or more persons or entities approved by the trustee to act (at the expense of the issuing entity) as Cayman agent, jointly with the trustee, of all or any part of the issuing entity, and to vest in such agent such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the trustee may consider necessary or desirable. Except as required by applicable law, the appointment of a Cayman agent will not relieve the trustee of its responsibilities, obligations and liabilities under the PSA to the extent set forth in the PSA.

 

In addition, holders of the certificates entitled to at least 75% of the Voting Rights may upon 30 days prior written notice, with or without cause, remove the trustee or certificate administrator under the PSA and appoint a successor trustee or certificate administrator. In the event that holders of the certificates entitled to at least 75% of the Voting Rights elect to remove the trustee or certificate administrator without cause and appoint a successor, the successor trustee or certificate administrator, as applicable, will be responsible for all expenses necessary to effect the transfer of responsibilities from its predecessor.

 

Any resignation or removal of the trustee or certificate administrator and appointment of a successor trustee or certificate administrator will not become effective until (i) acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee or certificate administrator, as applicable, and (ii) the certificate administrator files any required Form 8-K. Further, the resigning trustee or certificate administrator, as the case may be, must pay all costs and expenses associated with the transfer of its duties.

 

The PSA will prohibit the appointment of the asset representations reviewer or one of its affiliates as successor to the trustee or certificate administrator.

 

Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial; and Consent to Jurisdiction

 

The PSA will be governed by the laws of the State of New York. Each party to the PSA will waive its respective right to a jury trial for any claim or cause of action based upon or arising out of or related to the PSA or certificates. Additionally, each party to the PSA will consent to the jurisdiction of any New York State and Federal courts sitting in New York City with respect to matters arising out of or related to the PSA.

Certain Legal Aspects of Mortgage Loans

 

The following discussion contains general summaries of certain legal aspects of mortgage loans secured by commercial and multifamily residential properties. Because such legal aspects are governed by applicable local law (which laws may differ substantially), the summaries do not purport to be complete, to reflect the laws of any particular jurisdiction, or to encompass the laws of all jurisdictions in which the security for the mortgage loans is situated.

 

New York

 

Mortgage loans in New York are generally secured by mortgages on the related real estate. Foreclosure of a mortgage is usually accomplished in judicial proceedings. After an action for foreclosure is commenced, and if the lender secures a ruling that is entitled to foreclosure ordinarily by motion for summary judgment, the court then appoints a referee to compute the amount owed together with certain costs, expenses and legal fees of the action. The lender then moves to confirm the referee’s report and enter a final judgment of foreclosure and sale. Public notice of the foreclosure sale, including the amount of the judgment, is given for a statutory period of time, after which the mortgaged real estate is sold by a referee at public auction. There is no right of redemption after the foreclosure of sale. In certain circumstances, deficiency judgments may be obtained. Under mortgages containing a statutorily sanctioned covenant, the lender has a right to have a receiver appointed without notice and without regard to the adequacy of the mortgaged real estate as security for the amount owed.

 

California

 

Mortgage loans in California are generally secured by deeds of trust on the related real estate. Foreclosure of a deed of trust in California may be accomplished by a non-judicial trustee’s sale (so long as it is permitted under a specific provision in the deed of trust) or by judicial foreclosure, in each case subject to and accordance with the applicable procedures and requirements of California law. Public notice of either the trustee’s sale or the judgment of foreclosure is given for a statutory period of time after which the mortgaged real estate may be sold by the trustee, if foreclosed pursuant to the trustee’s power of sale, or by court appointed sheriff under a judicial foreclosure. Following a judicial foreclosure sale, the borrower or its successor-in-interest may, for a period of up to one year, redeem the property; however, there is no redemption following a trustee’s power of sale. California’s “security first” and “one action” rules require the lender to complete foreclosure of all real estate provided as security under the deed of trust in a single action in an attempt to satisfy the full debt before bringing a personal action (if otherwise permitted) against the borrower for recovery of the debt, except in certain cases involving environmentally impaired real property where foreclosure of the real property is not required before making a claim under the indemnity. This restriction may apply to property which is not located in California if a single promissory note is secured by property located in California and other jurisdictions. California case law has held that acts such as (but not limited to) an offset of an unpledged account constitute violations of such statutes. Violations of such statutes may result in the loss of some or all of the security under the mortgage loan and a loss of the ability to sue for the debt. A sale by the trustee under the deed of trust does not constitute an “action” for purposes of the “one action rule”. Other statutory provisions in California limit any deficiency judgment (if otherwise permitted) against the borrower following a judicial foreclosure to the amount by which the indebtedness exceeds the fair value at the time of the public sale and in no event greater than the difference between the foreclosure sale price and the amount of the indebtedness. Further, under California law, once a property has been sold pursuant to a power of sale clause contained in a deed of trust (and in the

 

 577

 

 

case of certain types of purchase money acquisition financings, under all circumstances), the lender is precluded from seeking a deficiency judgment from the borrower or, under certain circumstances, guarantors.

 

On the other hand, under certain circumstances, California law permits separate and even contemporaneous actions against both the borrower (as to the enforcement of the interests in the collateral securing the loan) and any guarantors. California statutory provisions regarding assignments of rents and leases require that a lender whose loan is secured by such an assignment must exercise a remedy with respect to rents as authorized by statute in order to establish its right to receive the rents after an event of default. Among the remedies authorized by statute is the lender’s right to have a receiver appointed under certain circumstances.

 

Certain Aspects of Cayman Islands Law

 

One (1) Mortgaged Property, securing one mortgage loan in whole or in part representing approximately 2.8% of the Initial Pool Balance by allocated loan amount is located in the Cayman Islands. The Cayman Islands is administered as a British Overseas Territory but under its 1972 Constitution has a significant degree of internal self-government. The Cayman Islands has a combined common law and statute based legal system. English Law is of persuasive authority.

 

The Cayman Islands adheres to the Basel Core Principles for effective Banking Supervision, the IAIS principles for insurance regulation, the IOSCO principles for regulation of investments business, the FATF Forty Recommendations on anti-money laundering and best practices in the area of trust and corporate services regulation.

 

The relevant legislation in relation to the registration of interests in land and taking security over land in the Cayman Islands is the Registered Land Law (“RLL”). The RLL creates a “Torrens”-style “title by registration” system of land registration. The RLL creates the land register maintained by the Registrar of Lands (a government official) in respect of every parcel of land located in the Cayman Islands. The principle underlying the Cayman Islands system of land registration is a guarantee by the Government of the Cayman Islands as to the correctness of the register. Under Section 141 of the RLL, persons suffering damage by reason of any mistake or omission in the register or any rectification in the register have a statutory right to be indemnified by the Cayman Islands government. Generally, registered interests will defeat unregistered interests, regardless of the time the unregistered interest was granted or whether there notice of the same was given. As amongst registered interests, priority depends on the order of registration. Pursuant to Section 28 of the RLL, all registered land is deemed to be subject to the following limited “overriding interests” that apply without being noted on the register: (a) rights of way, rights of water and any easement or profit subsisting at the time of first registration under the law; (b) natural rights of light, air, water and support; (c) rights of compulsory acquisition, resumption, entry, search, user or limitation of user conferred by any other law; (d) leases or agreements for leases for a term not exceeding two (2) years and periodic tenancies; (e) any unpaid monies that, without reference to registration under the RLL, are expressly declared by any law to be a charge on the land; (f) rights acquired or in the process of being acquired by virtue of any law relating to the limitation or actions or by prescription; (g) the rights of a person in actual occupation of the land or in receipt of the rents and profits from the land, except in the event that inquiry is made and such person or such rights are not disclosed and (h) electric supply lines, telephone, telegraph lines or poles, pipelines, aqueducts, canals, weirs and dams erected, constructed or laid in pursuance of by virtue of any power conferred by any law. No assurances can be given that

 

 578

 

 

“overriding interests” will not apply to the registered mortgage on the related mortgaged property.

 

A security interest in real property in the Cayman Islands is created by way of a registered “charge” (which is equivalent to a mortgage), which interest is noted on the land register for that particular property. Section 78 of the RLL provides that a secured creditor shall not be entitled to foreclose, nor enter into possession of the charged real property or to receive the rents and profits thereof unless default has been made in the payment of the principal sum or of any interest or other periodic payment or of any part thereof, or in the performance or observance of any agreement expressed or implied in the charge document. The RLL permits the secured creditor to exercise the following remedies to enforce its security with respect to the charged real property:

 

(i)     appointing a receiver of the income of the charged real property;

 

(ii)    selling the charged real property; or

 

(iii)    in certain specific circumstances, suing for the monies secured by the charge.

 

These remedies and the mechanics by which they are executed may be varied in the charge documents relating to the property, however, such varied remedies may not be acted upon without first obtaining an order of a Cayman court. The charge documents related to the Marriott Grand Cayman mortgage loan are varied to provide for immediate enforcement on default and sale by private treaty, and, thus, must be court approved before exercised in such manner.

 

Before a secured party (or “chargee”) is able to exercise any of the above remedies he must first give the mortgagor (or “chargor”) written notice. Section 72(1) of the RLL provides that if default is made in payment of the principal sum or of any interest or any other periodical payment or part thereof, or the performance or observance of any agreement expressed or implied in any charge, and continues for one month, the chargee may serve on the chargor notice in writing to pay the money owing or to perform and observe the agreement as the case may be. Section 72(2) of the RLL provides that if the chargor does not comply within three months of the date of service of the written notice described above, the chargee may commence the exercise of the remedies described above. There are no other requirements for declaring an event of default or acceleration under Section 72(1) of the RLL.

 

If after the four-month period, the chargee appoints a receiver over the charged real property, it would have to wait for an additional period of three months after the time the receiver is appointed before it could sell the charged real property. This decision to sell the property would have to be set out in a second notice to the borrower chargor. Any sale of charged property must be exercised in good faith and with regard to the interests of the chargor, and must be made through one or more public auctions for a sum payable in one amount or in installments, subject to such reserve price and conditions of sale as the chargee deems acceptable. A chargor has the right to redeem the charged property at any time before it is sold by paying all monies due under the charge at the time of repayment. The chargee would not be permitted to “credit bid” at a public auction of the charged property, although a sale to an affiliate of the chargee may be effected. If such a sale were challenged, the chargee would carry the burden of proving that the purchase price for the property was not under value. The likelihood of the success of a challenge to a sale is almost entirely dependent on valuation issues and the process used in identifying potential buyers.

 

 579

 

 

When the charged property is sold, Cayman Islands law requires that a stamp duty based on the market value of the property or the purchase price (whichever is greater) be paid by the purchaser to the Cayman Islands government. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Risks Related to Mortgage Loans Secured by Mortgaged Properties Located in the Cayman Islands” in this prospectus.

 

There are no specific statutory or regulatory constraints on the investment policies and strategies that may be adopted by a company established in the Cayman Islands, or on other commercial matters such as the appointment of local service providers. There are no exchange control or currency regulations in the Cayman Islands. There are no restrictions on foreign shareholders, limited partners or holders of unit trust investments; provided, however, that pursuant to the RLL and the Companies Law (2016 Revision) unless a company is (i) registered as an existing company, (ii) formed and registered under the Companies Law (2016 Revision), or (iii) in the case of a foreign company, is registered under Part IX of the Companies Law (2016 Revision), such company has no power to be registered as a proprietor or in any other manner to hold land in the Cayman Islands. If a foreign company ceases to carry on or have a place of business in the Cayman Islands, ceases to be a foreign company or fails to comply with Part IX of the Companies Law (2016 Revision), the Governor in Cabinet may, whenever it appears to him to be necessary in the public interest, order the corporate body or company to transfer any lands held by, vested in or belonging to it to a person capable of holding such lands and of being registered as a proprietor thereof under the RLL. If a company fails to comply with such orders, the Governor in Cabinet is permitted to seek the assistance of the courts to accomplish this directive. There are no direct or indirect taxes payable by companies in the Cayman Islands although annual registration fees are payable by all companies.

 

General

 

Each mortgage loan will be evidenced by a promissory note and secured by an instrument granting a security interest in real property, which may be a mortgage, deed of trust or a deed to secure debt, depending upon the prevailing practice and law in the state in which the related mortgaged property is located. Mortgages, deeds of trust and deeds to secure debt are in this prospectus collectively referred to as “mortgages”. A mortgage creates a lien upon, or grants a title interest in, the real property covered thereby, and represents the security for the repayment of the indebtedness customarily evidenced by a promissory note. The priority of the lien created or interest granted will depend on the terms of the mortgage and, in some cases, on the terms of separate subordination agreements or intercreditor agreements with others that hold interests in the real property, the knowledge of the parties to the mortgage and, generally, the order of recordation of the mortgage in the appropriate public recording office. However, the lien of a recorded mortgage will generally be subordinate to later-arising liens for real estate taxes and assessments and other charges imposed under governmental police powers.

 

Types of Mortgage Instruments

 

There are two parties to a mortgage: a mortgagor (the borrower and usually the owner of the applicable property) and a mortgagee (the lender). In contrast, a deed of trust is a three-party instrument, among a trustor (the equivalent of a borrower), a trustee to whom the real property is conveyed, and a beneficiary (the lender) for whose benefit the conveyance is made. Under a deed of trust, the trustor grants the property, irrevocably until the debt is paid, in trust and generally with a power of sale, to the trustee to secure repayment of the indebtedness evidenced by the related note. A deed to secure debt typically has two parties, pursuant to which the borrower, or grantor, conveys title to the

 

 580

 

 

real property to the grantee, or lender generally with a power of sale, until such time as the debt is repaid. In a case where the borrower is a land trust, there would be an additional party because legal title to the property is held by a land trustee under a land trust agreement for the benefit of the borrower. At origination of a mortgage loan involving a land trust, the borrower may execute a separate undertaking to make payments on the promissory note. The land trustee would not be personally liable for the promissory note obligation. The mortgagee’s authority under a mortgage, the trustee’s authority under a deed of trust and the grantee’s authority under a deed to secure debt are governed by the express provisions of the related instrument, the law of the state in which the real property is located, certain federal laws and, in some deed of trust transactions, the directions of the beneficiary.

 

Leases and Rents

 

Mortgages that encumber income-producing property often contain an assignment of rents and leases, and/or may be accompanied by a separate assignment of rents and leases, pursuant to which the borrower assigns to the lender the borrower’s right, title and interest as landlord under each lease and the income derived from the lease, while (unless rents are to be paid directly to the lender) retaining a revocable license to collect the rents for so long as there is no default. If the borrower defaults, the license terminates and the lender is entitled to collect the rents. Local law may require that the lender take possession of the property and/or obtain a court-appointed receiver before becoming entitled to collect the rents.

 

In most states, hotel property and motel room rates are considered accounts receivable under the Uniform Commercial Code (“UCC”). In cases where hotel properties or motels constitute loan security, the revenues are generally pledged by the borrower as additional security for the loan. In general, the lender must file financing statements in order to perfect its security interest in the room revenues and must file continuation statements, generally every 5 years, to maintain perfection of such security interest. In certain cases, mortgage loans secured by hotel properties or motels may be included in the issuing entity even if the security interest in the room revenues was not perfected. Even if the lender’s security interest in room revenues is perfected under applicable nonbankruptcy law, it will generally be required to commence a foreclosure action or otherwise take possession of the property in order to enforce its rights to collect the room revenues following a default. In the bankruptcy setting, however, the lender will be stayed from enforcing its rights to collect room revenues, but those room revenues constitute “cash collateral” and therefore generally cannot be used by the bankruptcy debtor without a hearing or lender’s consent or unless the lender’s interest in the room revenues is given adequate protection (e.g., cash payment for otherwise encumbered funds or a replacement lien on unencumbered property, in either case in value equivalent to the amount of room revenues that the debtor proposes to use, or other similar relief). See “—Bankruptcy Laws” below.

 

Personalty

 

In the case of certain types of mortgaged properties, such as hotel properties, motels, nursing homes and manufactured housing, personal property (to the extent owned by the borrower and not previously pledged) may constitute a significant portion of the property’s value as security. The creation and enforcement of liens on personal property are governed by the UCC. Accordingly, if a borrower pledges personal property as security for a mortgage loan, the lender generally must file UCC financing statements in order to perfect its security interest in that personal property, and must file continuation statements, generally every five years, to maintain that perfection. Certain mortgage loans secured in

 

 581

 

 

part by personal property may be included in the issuing entity even if the security interest in such personal property was not perfected.

 

Foreclosure

 

General

 

Foreclosure is a legal procedure that allows the lender to recover its mortgage debt by enforcing its rights and available legal remedies under the mortgage. If the borrower defaults in payment or performance of its obligations under the promissory note or mortgage, the lender has the right to institute foreclosure proceedings to sell the real property at public auction to satisfy the indebtedness.

 

Foreclosure Procedures Vary from State to State

 

Two primary methods of foreclosing a mortgage are judicial foreclosure, involving court proceedings, and nonjudicial foreclosure pursuant to a power of sale granted in the mortgage instrument. Other foreclosure procedures are available in some states, but they are either infrequently used or available only in limited circumstances.

 

A foreclosure action is subject to most of the delays and expenses of other lawsuits if defenses are raised or counterclaims are interposed, and sometimes requires several years to complete.

 

See also “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Mortgage Loans—Risks Associated with One Action Rules”.

 

Judicial Foreclosure

 

A judicial foreclosure proceeding is conducted in a court having jurisdiction over the mortgaged property. Generally, the action is initiated by the service of legal pleadings upon all parties having a subordinate interest of record in the real property and all parties in possession of the property, under leases or otherwise, whose interests are subordinate to the mortgage. Delays in completion of the foreclosure may occasionally result from difficulties in locating defendants. When the lender’s right to foreclose is contested, the legal proceedings can be time-consuming. Upon successful completion of a judicial foreclosure proceeding, the court generally issues a judgment of foreclosure and appoints a referee or other officer to conduct a public sale of the mortgaged property, the proceeds of which are used to satisfy the judgment. Such sales are made in accordance with procedures that vary from state to state.

 

Equitable and Other Limitations on Enforceability of Certain Provisions

 

United States courts have traditionally imposed general equitable principles to limit the remedies available to lenders in foreclosure actions. These principles are generally designed to relieve borrowers from the effects of mortgage defaults perceived as harsh or unfair. Relying on such principles, a court may alter the specific terms of a loan to the extent it considers necessary to prevent or remedy an injustice, undue oppression or overreaching, or may require the lender to undertake affirmative actions to determine the cause of the borrower’s default and the likelihood that the borrower will be able to reinstate the loan. In some cases, courts have substituted their judgment for the lender’s and have required that lenders reinstate loans or recast payment schedules in order to accommodate borrowers who are suffering from a temporary financial disability. In other cases, courts have limited the right of the lender to foreclose in the case of a nonmonetary default, such as a failure to

  

 582

 

 

adequately maintain the mortgaged property or an impermissible further encumbrance of the mortgaged property. Finally, some courts have addressed the issue of whether federal or state constitutional provisions reflecting due process concerns for adequate notice require that a borrower receive notice in addition to statutorily-prescribed minimum notice. For the most part, these cases have upheld the reasonableness of the notice provisions or have found that a public sale under a mortgage providing for a power of sale does not involve sufficient state action to trigger constitutional protections.

 

In addition, some states may have statutory protection such as the right of the borrower to reinstate a mortgage loan after commencement of foreclosure proceedings but prior to a foreclosure sale.

 

Nonjudicial Foreclosure/Power of Sale

 

In states permitting nonjudicial foreclosure proceedings, foreclosure of a deed of trust is generally accomplished by a nonjudicial trustee’s sale pursuant to a power of sale typically granted in the deed of trust. A power of sale may also be contained in any other type of mortgage instrument if applicable law so permits. A power of sale under a deed of trust allows a nonjudicial public sale to be conducted generally following a request from the beneficiary/lender to the trustee to sell the property upon default by the borrower and after notice of sale is given in accordance with the terms of the deed of trust and applicable state law. In some states, prior to such sale, the trustee under the deed of trust must record a notice of default and notice of sale and send a copy to the borrower and to any other party who has recorded a request for a copy of a notice of default and notice of sale. In addition, in some states the trustee must provide notice to any other party having an interest of record in the real property, including junior lienholders. A notice of sale must be posted in a public place and, in most states, published for a specified period of time in one or more newspapers. The borrower or junior lienholder may then have the right, during a reinstatement period required in some states, to cure the default by paying the entire actual amount in arrears (without regard to the acceleration of the indebtedness), plus the lender’s expenses incurred in enforcing the obligation. In other states, the borrower or the junior lienholder is not provided a period to reinstate the loan, but has only the right to pay off the entire debt to prevent the foreclosure sale. Generally, state law governs the procedure for public sale, the parties entitled to notice, the method of giving notice and the applicable time periods.

 

Public Sale

 

A third party may be unwilling to purchase a mortgaged property at a public sale because of the difficulty in determining the exact status of title to the property (due to, among other things, redemption rights that may exist) and because of the possibility that physical deterioration of the mortgaged property may have occurred during the foreclosure proceedings. Potential buyers may also be reluctant to purchase mortgaged property at a foreclosure sale as a result of the 1980 decision of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit in Durrett v. Washington National Insurance Co., 621 F.2d 2001 (5th Cir. 1980) and other decisions that have followed its reasoning. The court in Durrett held that even a non-collusive, regularly conducted foreclosure sale was a fraudulent transfer under the Bankruptcy Code and, thus, could be rescinded in favor of the bankrupt’s estate, if (1) the foreclosure sale was held while the debtor was insolvent and not more than one year prior to the filing of the bankruptcy petition and (2) the price paid for the foreclosed property did not represent “fair consideration”, which is “reasonably equivalent value” under the Bankruptcy Code. Although the reasoning and result of Durrett in respect of the Bankruptcy Code was rejected by the United States Supreme Court in BFP v. Resolution

 

 583

 

 

Trust Corp., 511 U.S. 531 (1994), the case could nonetheless be persuasive to a court applying a state fraudulent conveyance law which has provisions similar to those construed in Durrett. Therefore, it is common for the lender to purchase the mortgaged property for an amount equal to the secured indebtedness and accrued and unpaid interest plus the expenses of foreclosure, in which event the borrower’s debt will be extinguished, or for a lesser amount in order to preserve its right to seek a deficiency judgment if such is available under state law and under the terms of the mortgage loan documents. Thereafter, subject to the borrower’s right in some states to remain in possession during a redemption period, the lender will become the owner of the property and have both the benefits and burdens of ownership, including the obligation to pay debt service on any senior mortgages, to pay taxes, to obtain casualty insurance and to make such repairs as are necessary to render the property suitable for sale. Frequently, the lender employs a third-party management company to manage and operate the property. The costs of operating and maintaining a property may be significant and may be greater than the income derived from that property. The costs of management and operation of those mortgaged properties which are hotels, motels, restaurants, nursing or convalescent homes, hospitals or casinos may be particularly significant because of the expertise, knowledge and, with respect to certain property types, regulatory compliance, required to run those operations and the effect which foreclosure and a change in ownership may have on the public’s and the industry’s, including franchisors’, perception of the quality of those operations. The lender also will commonly obtain the services of a real estate broker and pay the broker’s commission in connection with the sale or lease of the property. Depending upon market conditions, the ultimate proceeds of the sale of a property may not equal the lender’s investment in the property. Moreover, a lender commonly incurs substantial legal fees and court costs in acquiring a mortgaged property through contested foreclosure and/or bankruptcy proceedings. Because of the expenses associated with acquiring, owning and selling a mortgaged property, a lender could realize an overall loss on a mortgage loan even if the mortgaged property is sold at foreclosure, or resold after it is acquired through foreclosure, for an amount equal to the full outstanding principal amount of the loan plus accrued interest.

 

Furthermore, an increasing number of states require that any environmental contamination at certain types of properties be cleaned up before a property may be resold. In addition, a lender may be responsible under federal or state law for the cost of cleaning up a mortgaged property that is environmentally contaminated. See “—Environmental Considerations” below.

 

The holder of a junior mortgage that forecloses on a mortgaged property does so subject to senior mortgages and any other prior liens, and may be obliged to keep senior mortgage loans current in order to avoid foreclosure of its interest in the property. In addition, if the foreclosure of a junior mortgage triggers the enforcement of a “due-on-sale” clause contained in a senior mortgage, the junior mortgagee could be required to pay the full amount of the senior mortgage indebtedness or face foreclosure.

 

Rights of Redemption

 

The purposes of a foreclosure action are to enable the lender to realize upon its security and to bar the borrower, and all persons who have interests in the property that are subordinate to that of the foreclosing lender, from exercise of their “equity of redemption”. The doctrine of equity of redemption provides that, until the property encumbered by a mortgage has been sold in accordance with a properly conducted foreclosure and foreclosure sale, those having interests that are subordinate to that of the foreclosing lender have an equity of redemption and may redeem the property by paying the entire debt with

 

 584

 

 

interest. Those having an equity of redemption must generally be made parties and joined in the foreclosure proceeding in order for their equity of redemption to be terminated.

 

The equity of redemption is a common-law (nonstatutory) right which should be distinguished from post-sale statutory rights of redemption. In some states, after sale pursuant to a deed of trust or foreclosure of a mortgage, the borrower and foreclosed junior lienors are given a statutory period in which to redeem the property. In some states, statutory redemption may occur only upon payment of the foreclosure sale price. In other states, redemption may be permitted if the former borrower pays only a portion of the sums due. The effect of a statutory right of redemption is to diminish the ability of the lender to sell the foreclosed property because the exercise of a right of redemption would defeat the title of any purchaser through a foreclosure. Consequently, the practical effect of the redemption right is to force the lender to maintain the property and pay the expenses of ownership until the redemption period has expired. In some states, a post-sale statutory right of redemption may exist following a judicial foreclosure, but not following a trustee’s sale under a deed of trust.

 

Anti-Deficiency Legislation

 

Some or all of the mortgage loans are non-recourse loans, as to which recourse in the case of default will be limited to the mortgaged property and such other assets, if any, that were pledged to secure the mortgage loan. However, even if a mortgage loan by its terms provides for recourse to the borrower’s other assets, a lender’s ability to realize upon those assets may be limited by state law. For example, in some states a lender cannot obtain a deficiency judgment against the borrower following foreclosure or sale under a deed of trust.

 

A deficiency judgment is a personal judgment against the former borrower equal to the difference between the net amount realized upon the public sale of the real property and the amount due to the lender. Other statutes may require the lender to exhaust the security afforded under a mortgage before bringing a personal action against the borrower. In certain other states, the lender has the option of bringing a personal action against the borrower on the debt without first exhausting that security; however, in some of those states, the lender, following judgment on that personal action, may be deemed to have elected a remedy and thus may be precluded from foreclosing upon the security. Consequently, lenders in those states where such an election of remedy provision exists will usually proceed first against the security. Finally, other statutory provisions, designed to protect borrowers from exposure to large deficiency judgments that might result from bidding at below-market values at the foreclosure sale, limit any deficiency judgment to the excess of the outstanding debt over the fair market value of the property at the time of the sale.

 

Leasehold Considerations

 

Mortgage loans may be secured by a mortgage on the borrower’s leasehold interest in a ground lease. Leasehold mortgage loans are subject to certain risks not associated with mortgage loans secured by a lien on the fee estate of the borrower. The most significant of these risks is that if the borrower’s leasehold were to be terminated upon a lease default, the leasehold mortgagee would lose its security. This risk may be lessened if the ground lease requires the lessor to give the leasehold mortgagee notices of lessee defaults and an opportunity to cure them, permits the leasehold estate to be assigned to and by the leasehold mortgagee or the purchaser at a foreclosure sale, and contains certain other protective provisions typically included in a “mortgageable” ground lease. Certain mortgage loans, however, may be secured by ground leases which do not contain these provisions.

 

 585

 

 

In addition, where a lender has as its security both the fee and leasehold interest in the same property, the grant of a mortgage lien on its fee interest by the land owner/ground lessor to secure the debt of a borrower/ground lessee may be subject to challenge as a fraudulent conveyance. Among other things, a legal challenge to the granting of the liens may focus on the benefits realized by the land owner/ground lessor from the loan. If a court concluded that the granting of the mortgage lien was an avoidable fraudulent conveyance, it might take actions detrimental to the holders of the offered certificates, including, under certain circumstances, invalidating the mortgage lien on the fee interest of the land owner/ground lessor.

 

Cooperative Shares

 

Mortgage loans may be secured by a security interest on the borrower’s ownership interest in shares, and the related proprietary leases, allocable to cooperative dwelling units that may be vacant or occupied by non-owner tenants. Such loans are subject to certain risks not associated with mortgage loans secured by a lien on the fee estate of a borrower in real property. Such a loan typically is subordinate to the mortgage, if any, on the cooperative’s building which, if foreclosed, could extinguish the equity in the building and the proprietary leases of the dwelling units derived from ownership of the shares of the cooperative. Further, transfer of shares in a cooperative are subject to various regulations as well as to restrictions under the governing documents of the cooperative, and the shares may be cancelled in the event that associated maintenance charges due under the related proprietary leases are not paid. Typically, a recognition agreement between the lender and the cooperative provides, among other things, the lender with an opportunity to cure a default under a proprietary lease.

 

Under the laws applicable in many states, “foreclosure” on cooperative shares is accomplished by a sale in accordance with the provisions of Article 9 of the UCC and the security agreement relating to the shares. Article 9 of the UCC requires that a sale be conducted in a “commercially reasonable” manner, which may be dependent upon, among other things, the notice given the debtor and the method, manner, time, place and terms of the sale. Article 9 of the UCC provides that the proceeds of the sale will be applied first to pay the costs and expenses of the sale and then to satisfy the indebtedness secured by the lender’s security interest. A recognition agreement, however, generally provides that the lender’s right to reimbursement is subject to the right of the cooperative to receive sums due under the proprietary leases.

 

Bankruptcy Laws

 

Operation of the federal Bankruptcy Code in Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended from time to time (“Bankruptcy Code”) and related state laws may interfere with or affect the ability of a lender to obtain payment of a loan, realize upon collateral and/or to enforce a deficiency judgment. For example, under the Bankruptcy Code, virtually all actions (including foreclosure actions and deficiency judgment proceedings) are automatically stayed upon the filing of the bankruptcy petition, and, usually, no interest or principal payments are made during the course of the bankruptcy case. The delay and the consequences of a delay caused by an automatic stay can be significant. For example, the filing of a petition in bankruptcy by or on behalf of a junior mortgage lien holder may stay the senior lender from taking action to foreclose out such junior lien. At a minimum, the senior lender would suffer delay due to its need to seek bankruptcy court approval before taking any foreclosure or other action that could be deemed in violation of the automatic stay under the Bankruptcy Code.

Under the Bankruptcy Code, a bankruptcy trustee, or a borrower as debtor-in-possession, may under certain circumstances sell the related mortgaged property or other collateral free and clear of all liens, claims, encumbrances and interests, which liens would then attach to the proceeds of such sale, despite the provisions of the related mortgage or other security agreement to the contrary. Such a sale may be approved by a bankruptcy court even if the proceeds are insufficient to pay the secured debt in full.

 

Under the Bankruptcy Code, provided certain substantive and procedural safeguards for a lender are met, the amount and terms of a mortgage or other security agreement secured by property of a debtor may be modified under certain circumstances. Pursuant to a confirmed plan of reorganization, lien avoidance or claim objection proceeding, the secured claim arising from a loan secured by real property or other collateral may be reduced to the then-current value of the property (with a corresponding partial reduction of the amount of lender’s security interest), thus leaving the lender a secured creditor to the extent of the then current value of the property and a general unsecured creditor for the difference between such value and the outstanding balance of the loan. Such general unsecured claims may be paid less than 100% of the amount of the debt or not at all, depending upon the circumstances. Other modifications may include the reduction in the amount of each scheduled payment, which reduction may result from a reduction in the rate of interest and/or the alteration of the repayment schedule (with or without affecting the unpaid principal balance of the loan), and/or an extension (or reduction) of the final maturity date. Some courts have approved bankruptcy plans, based on the particular facts of the reorganization case, that effected the curing of a mortgage loan default by paying arrearages over a number of years. Also, under the Bankruptcy Code, a bankruptcy court may permit a debtor through its plan of reorganization to reinstate the loan even though the lender accelerated the mortgage loan and final judgment of foreclosure had been entered in state court (provided that no sale of the property had yet occurred) prior to the filing of the debtor’s petition. This may be done even if the plan of reorganization does not provide for payment of the full amount due under the original loan. Thus, the full amount due under the original loan may never be repaid. Other types of significant modifications to the terms of a mortgage loan may be acceptable to the bankruptcy court, such as making distributions to the mortgage holder of property other than cash, or the substitution of collateral which is the “indubitable equivalent” of the real property subject to the mortgage, or the subordination of the mortgage to liens securing new debt (provided that the lender’s secured claim is “adequately protected” as such term is defined and interpreted under the Bankruptcy Code), often depending on the particular facts and circumstances of the specific case.

 

Federal bankruptcy law may also interfere with or otherwise adversely affect the ability of a secured mortgage lender to enforce an assignment by a borrower of rents and leases (which “rents” may include revenues from hotels and other lodging facilities specified in the Bankruptcy Code) related to a mortgaged property if the related borrower is in a bankruptcy proceeding. Under the Bankruptcy Code, a lender may be stayed from enforcing the assignment, and the legal proceedings necessary to resolve the issue can be time consuming and may result in significant delays in the receipt of the rents. Rents (including applicable hotel and other lodging revenues) and leases may also escape such an assignment, among other things, (i) if the assignment is not fully perfected under state law prior to commencement of the bankruptcy proceeding, (ii) to the extent such rents and leases are used by the borrower to maintain the mortgaged property, or for other court authorized expenses, (iii) to the extent other collateral may be substituted for the rents and leases, (iv) to the extent the bankruptcy court determines that the lender is adequately protected, or (v) to the extent the court determines based on the equities of the case that the post-petition rents are not subject to the lender’s pre-petition security interest.

 

 587

 

 

Under the Bankruptcy Code, a security interest in real property acquired before the commencement of the bankruptcy case does not extend to income received after the commencement of the bankruptcy case unless such income is a proceed, product or rent of such property. Therefore, to the extent a business conducted on the mortgaged property creates accounts receivable rather than rents or results from payments under a license rather than payments under a lease, a valid and perfected pre-bankruptcy lien on such accounts receivable or license income generally would not continue as to post-bankruptcy accounts receivable or license income.

 

The Bankruptcy Code provides that a lender’s perfected pre-petition security interest in leases, rents and hotel revenues continues in the post-petition leases, rents and hotel revenues, unless a bankruptcy court orders to the contrary “based on the equities of the case”. The equities of a particular case may permit the discontinuance of security interests in pre-petition leases and rents. Thus, unless a court orders otherwise, revenues from a mortgaged property generated after the date the bankruptcy petition is filed will constitute “cash collateral” under the Bankruptcy Code. Debtors may only use cash collateral upon obtaining the lender’s consent or a prior court order finding that the lender’s interest in the mortgaged hotel, motel or other lodging property and the cash collateral is “adequately protected” as the term is defined and interpreted under the Bankruptcy Code. In addition to post-petition rents, any cash held by a lender in a lockbox or reserve account generally would also constitute “cash collateral” under the Bankruptcy Code. So long as the lender is adequately protected, a debtor’s use of cash collateral may be for its own benefit or for the benefit of any affiliated entity group that is also subject to bankruptcy proceedings, including use as collateral for new debt. It should be noted, however, that the court may find that the lender has no security interest in either pre-petition or post-petition revenues if the court finds that the loan documents do not contain language covering accounts, room rents, or other forms of personalty necessary for a security interest to attach to such revenues.

 

The Bankruptcy Code provides generally that rights and obligations under an unexpired lease of the debtor/lessee may not be terminated or modified at any time after the commencement of a case under the Bankruptcy Code solely because of a provision in the lease to that effect or because of certain other similar events. This prohibition on so-called “ipso facto” clauses could limit the ability of a lender to exercise certain contractual remedies with respect to the leases on any mortgaged property. In addition, section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code operates as an automatic stay of, among other things, any act to obtain possession of property from a debtor’s estate, which may delay a lender’s exercise of those remedies, including foreclosure, in the event that a lessee becomes the subject of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code. Thus, the filing of a petition in bankruptcy by or on behalf of a lessee of a mortgaged property would result in a stay against the commencement or continuation of any state court proceeding for past due rent, for accelerated rent, for damages or for a summary eviction order with respect to a default under the related lease that occurred prior to the filing of the lessee’s petition. While relief from the automatic stay to enforce remedies may be requested, it can be denied for a number of reasons, including where the collateral is “necessary to an effective reorganization” for the debtor, and if a debtor’s case has been administratively consolidated with those of its affiliates, the court may also consider whether the property is “necessary to an effective reorganization” of the debtor and its affiliates, taken as a whole.

 

The Bankruptcy Code generally provides that a trustee in bankruptcy or debtor-in-possession may, with respect to an unexpired lease of non-residential real property, before the earlier of (i) 120 days after the filing of a bankruptcy case or (ii) the entry of an order confirming a plan, subject to approval of the court, (a) assume the lease

 

 588

 

 

and retain it or assign it to a third party or (b) reject the lease. If the trustee or debtor-in-possession fails to assume or reject the lease within the time specified in the preceding sentence, subject to any extensions by the bankruptcy court, the lease will be deemed rejected and the property will be surrendered to the lessor. The bankruptcy court may for cause shown extend the 120-day period up to 90 days for a total of 210 days. If the lease is assumed, the trustee in bankruptcy on behalf of the lessee, or the lessee as debtor-in-possession, or the assignee, if applicable, must cure any defaults under the lease, compensate the lessor for its losses and provide the lessor with “adequate assurance” of future performance. These remedies may be insufficient, however, as the lessor may be forced to continue under the lease with a lessee that is a poor credit risk or an unfamiliar tenant (if the lease was assigned), and any assurances provided to the lessor may, in fact, be inadequate. If the lease is rejected, the rejection generally constitutes a breach of the executory contract or unexpired lease as of the date immediately preceding the filing date of the bankruptcy petition. As a consequence, the other party or parties to the lease, such as the borrower, as lessor under a lease, generally would have only an unsecured claim against the debtor, as lessee, for damages resulting from the breach, which could adversely affect the security for the related mortgage loan. In addition, under the Bankruptcy Code, a lease rejection damages claim is limited to the “(a) rent reserved by the lease, without acceleration, for the greater of one year, or 15 percent, not to exceed 3 years, of the remaining term of such lease, following the earlier of the date of the bankruptcy petition and the date on which the lessor regained possession of the real property, (b) plus any unpaid rent due under such lease, without acceleration, on the earlier of such dates”.

 

If a trustee in bankruptcy on behalf of a lessor, or a lessor as debtor-in-possession, rejects an unexpired lease of real property, the lessee may treat the lease as terminated by the rejection or, in the alternative, the lessee may remain in possession of the leasehold for the balance of the term and for any renewal or extension of the term that is enforceable by the lessee under applicable non-bankruptcy law. The Bankruptcy Code provides that if a lessee elects to remain in possession after a rejection of a lease, the lessee may offset against rents reserved under the lease for the balance of the term after the date of rejection of the lease, and the related renewal or extension of the lease, any damages occurring after that date caused by the nonperformance of any obligation of the lessor under the lease after that date.

 

Similarly, bankruptcy risk is associated with an insolvency proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code of either a borrower ground lessee or a ground lessor. In general, upon the bankruptcy of a lessor or a lessee under a lease of nonresidential real property, including a ground lease, that has not been terminated prior to the bankruptcy filing date, the debtor entity has the statutory right to assume or reject the lease. Given that the Bankruptcy Code generally invalidates clauses that terminate contracts automatically upon the filing by one of the parties of a bankruptcy petition or that are conditioned on a party’s insolvency, following the filing of a bankruptcy petition, a debtor would ordinarily be required to perform its obligations under such lease until the debtor decides whether to assume or reject the lease. The Bankruptcy Code provides certain additional protections with respect to non-residential real property leases, such as establishing a specific timeframe in which a debtor must determine whether to assume or reject the lease. The bankruptcy court may extend the time to perform for up to 60 days for cause shown. Even if the agreements were terminated prior to bankruptcy, a bankruptcy court may determine that the agreement was improperly terminated and therefore remains part of the debtor’s bankruptcy estate. The debtor also can seek bankruptcy court approval to assume and assign the lease to a third party, and to modify the lease in connection with such assignment. In order to assume the lease, the debtor or assignee generally will have to cure outstanding defaults and provide “adequate assurance of future performance” in

 

 589

 

 

addition to satisfying other requirements imposed under the Bankruptcy Code. Under the Bankruptcy Code, subject to certain exceptions, once a lease is rejected by a debtor lessee, it is deemed breached, and the non-debtor lessor will have a claim for lease rejection damages, as described above.

 

If the ground lessor files for bankruptcy, it may determine until the confirmation of its plan of reorganization whether to reject the ground lease. On request of any party to the lease, the bankruptcy court may order the debtor to determine within a specific period of time whether to assume or reject the lease or to comply with the terms of the lease pending its decision to assume or reject. In the event of rejection, the non-debtor lessee will have the right to treat the lease as terminated by virtue of its terms, applicable nonbankruptcy law, or any agreement made by the lessee. The non-debtor lessee may also, if the lease term has begun, retain its rights under the lease, including its rights to remain in possession of the leased premises under the rent reserved in the lease for the balance of the term of the lease (including renewals). The term “lessee” includes any “successor, assign or mortgagee permitted under the terms of such lease”. If, pre-petition, the ground lessor had specifically granted the leasehold mortgagee such right, the leasehold mortgagee may have the right to succeed to the lessee/borrower’s position under the lease.

 

In the event of concurrent bankruptcy proceedings involving the ground lessor and the lessee/borrower, actions by creditors against the borrower/lessee debtor would be subject to the automatic stay, and a lender may be unable to enforce both the bankrupt lessee/borrower’s pre-petition agreement to refuse to treat a ground lease rejected by a bankrupt lessor as terminated and any agreement by the ground lessor to grant the lender a new lease upon such termination. In such circumstances, a lease could be terminated notwithstanding lender protection provisions contained in that lease or in the mortgage. A lender could lose its security unless the lender holds a fee mortgage or the bankruptcy court, as a court of equity, allows the mortgagee to assume the ground lessee’s obligations under the ground lease and succeed to the ground lessee’s position. Although consistent with the Bankruptcy Code, such position may not be adopted by the bankruptcy court.

 

Further, in an appellate decision by the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit (Precision Indus. v. Qualitech Steel SBQ, LLC, 327 F.3d 537 (7th Cir, 2003)), the court ruled with respect to an unrecorded lease of real property that where a statutory sale of leased property occurs under the Bankruptcy Code upon the bankruptcy of a landlord, that sale terminates a lessee’s possessory interest in the property, and the purchaser assumes title free and clear of any interest, including any leasehold estates. Pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, a lessee may request the bankruptcy court to prohibit or condition the statutory sale of the property so as to provide adequate protection of the leasehold interest; however, the court ruled that, at least where a memorandum of lease had not been recorded, this provision does not ensure continued possession of the property, but rather entitles the lessee to compensation for the value of its leasehold interest, typically from the sale proceeds. As a result, we cannot assure you that, in the event of a statutory sale of leased property pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, the lessee would be able to maintain possession of the property under the ground lease. In addition, we cannot assure you that a leasehold mortgagor and/or a leasehold mortgagee (to the extent it has standing to intervene) would be able to recover the full value of the leasehold interest in bankruptcy court.

 

Because of the possible termination of the related ground lease, whether arising from a bankruptcy, the expiration of a lease term or an uncured defect under the related ground lease, lending on a leasehold interest in a real property is riskier than lending on the fee interest in the property.

 

 590

 

 

In a bankruptcy or similar proceeding involving a borrower, action may be taken seeking the recovery as a preferential transfer of any payments made by such borrower, or made directly by the related lessee, under the related mortgage loan to the issuing entity. Payments on long term debt may be protected from recovery as preferences if they qualify for the “ordinary course” exception under the Bankruptcy Code or if certain other defenses in the Bankruptcy Code are applicable. Whether any particular payment would be protected depends upon the facts specific to a particular transaction.

 

In addition, in a bankruptcy or similar proceeding involving any borrower or an affiliate, an action may be taken to avoid the transaction (or any component of the transaction, such as joint and several liability on the related mortgage loan) as an actual or constructive fraudulent conveyance under state or federal law. Any payment by a borrower in excess of its allocated share of the loan could be challenged as a fraudulent conveyance by creditors of that borrower in an action outside a bankruptcy case or by the representative of the borrower’s bankruptcy estate in a bankruptcy case. Generally, under federal and most state fraudulent conveyance statutes, the incurrence of an obligation or the transfer of property by a person will be subject to avoidance under certain circumstances if the person transferred such property with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud its creditors or the person did not receive fair consideration or reasonably equivalent value in exchange for such obligation or transfer and (i) was insolvent or was rendered insolvent by such obligation or transfer, (ii) was engaged in business or a transaction, or was about to engage in business or a transaction, for which any property remaining with the person constituted unreasonably small capital, or (iii) intended to, or believed that it would, incur debts that would be beyond the person’s ability to pay as such debts matured. The measure of insolvency will vary depending on the law of the applicable jurisdiction. However, an entity will generally be considered insolvent if the present fair salable value of its assets is less than (x) the sum of its debts or (y) the amount that would be required to pay its probable liabilities on its existing debts as they become absolute and matured. Accordingly, a lien granted by a borrower to secure repayment of the loan in excess of its allocated share could be avoided if a court were to determine that (i) such borrower was insolvent at the time of granting the lien, was rendered insolvent by the granting of the lien, was left with inadequate capital, or was not able to pay its debts as they matured and (ii) the borrower did not, when it allowed its property to be encumbered by a lien securing the entire indebtedness represented by the loan, receive fair consideration or reasonably equivalent value for pledging such property for the equal benefit of each other borrower.

 

A bankruptcy court may, under certain circumstances, authorize a debtor to obtain credit after the commencement of a bankruptcy case, secured among other things, by senior, equal or junior liens on property that is already subject to a lien. In the bankruptcy case of General Growth Properties filed on April 16, 2009, the debtors initially sought approval of a debtor-in-possession loan to the corporate parent entities guaranteed by the property-level single purpose entities and secured by second liens on their properties. Although the debtor-in-possession loan subsequently was modified to eliminate the subsidiary guarantees and second liens, we cannot assure you that, in the event of a bankruptcy of the borrower sponsor, the borrower sponsor would not seek approval of a similar debtor-in-possession loan, or that a bankruptcy court would not approve a debtor-in-possession loan that included such subsidiary guarantees and second liens on such subsidiaries’ properties.

 

Certain of the borrowers may be partnerships. The laws governing limited partnerships in certain states provide that the commencement of a case under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to a general partner will cause a person to cease to be a general partner of the limited partnership, unless otherwise provided in writing in the limited partnership

 

 591

 

 

agreement. This provision may be construed as an “ipso facto” clause and, in the event of the general partner’s bankruptcy, may not be enforceable. Certain limited partnership agreements of the borrowers may provide that the commencement of a case under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the related general partner constitutes an event of withdrawal (assuming the enforceability of the clause is not challenged in bankruptcy proceedings or, if challenged, is upheld) that might trigger the dissolution of the limited partnership, the winding up of its affairs and the distribution of its assets, unless (i) at the time there was at least one other general partner and the written provisions of the limited partnership permit the business of the limited partnership to be carried on by the remaining general partner and that general partner does so or (ii) the written provisions of the limited partnership agreement permit the limited partners to agree within a specified time frame (often 60 days) after the withdrawal to continue the business of the limited partnership and to the appointment of one or more general partners and the limited partners do so. In addition, the laws governing general partnerships in certain states provide that the commencement of a case under the Bankruptcy Code or state bankruptcy laws with respect to a general partner of the partnerships triggers the dissolution of the partnership, the winding up of its affairs and the distribution of its assets. Those state laws, however, may not be enforceable or effective in a bankruptcy case. Limited liability companies may be subjected to similar treatment as that described in this prospectus with respect to limited partnerships. The dissolution of a borrower, the winding up of its affairs and the distribution of its assets could result in an acceleration of its payment obligation under the borrower’s mortgage loan, which may reduce the yield on the Offered Certificates in the same manner as a principal prepayment.

 

In addition, the bankruptcy of the general or limited partner of a borrower that is a partnership, or the bankruptcy of a member of a borrower that is a limited liability company or the bankruptcy of a shareholder of a borrower that is a corporation may provide the opportunity in the bankruptcy case of the partner, member or shareholder to obtain an order from a court consolidating the assets and liabilities of the partner, member or shareholder with those of the mortgagor pursuant to the doctrines of substantive consolidation or piercing the corporate veil. In such a case, the respective mortgaged property, for example, would become property of the estate of the bankrupt partner, member or shareholder. Not only would the mortgaged property be available to satisfy the claims of creditors of the partner, member or shareholder, but an automatic stay would apply to any attempt by the trustee to exercise remedies with respect to the mortgaged property. However, such an occurrence should not affect a lender’s status as a secured creditor with respect to the mortgagor or its security interest in the mortgaged property.

 

A borrower that is a limited partnership, in many cases, may be required by the loan documents to have a single purpose entity as its sole general partner, and a borrower that is a general partnership, in many cases, may be required by the loan documents to have as its general partners only entities that are single purpose entities. A borrower that is a limited liability company may be required by the loan documents to have a single purpose member or a springing member. All borrowers that are tenants-in-common may be required by the loan documents to be single purpose entities. These provisions are designed to mitigate the risk of the dissolution or bankruptcy of the borrower partnership or its general partner, a borrower limited liability company or its member (if applicable), or a borrower that is a tenant-in-common. However, we cannot assure you that any borrower partnership or its general partner, or any borrower limited liability company or its member (if applicable), or a borrower that is a tenant-in-common, will not dissolve or become a debtor under the Bankruptcy Code.

Cayman Islands Bankruptcy Laws

 

The related borrower under the Marriott Grand Cayman Mortgage Loan is a company organized and existing under the laws of the Cayman Islands. The bankruptcy of a member of the related borrower may provide the opportunity in the bankruptcy case of the member to obtain an order from a court consolidating the assets and liabilities of the member with those of the related borrower pursuant to the doctrine of alter ego/piercing the corporate veil. In such a case, the related Mortgaged Property, for example, would become property of the estate of the bankrupt member. Not only would the Mortgaged Property be available to satisfy the claims of creditors of the member, but an automatic stay would apply to any attempt by the trustee to exercise remedies with respect to the Mortgaged Property.

 

In addition, the concept of “bankruptcy” applies to individuals in the Cayman Islands. The corresponding concept as it applies to limited companies is referred to as “liquidation” or “winding up”. In connection with a liquidation, a liquidator will be appointed with the role of realizing unsecured assets belonging to the company, agreeing claims of unsecured creditors against the company, and distributing the proceeds of realization of the company’s assets to the appropriate parties. There is no vesting of assets in the liquidator. The assets remain vested in the company and the liquidator deals with the company’s assets on behalf of the company. Dissolution occurs at the culmination of winding up proceedings.

 

When a court order has been made for the winding up of a company, no proceedings against the company may be proceeded with or commenced except with leave of the court. This prevents unsecured creditors from pursuing their usual remedies to enforce payment of debts. Unsecured creditors are entitled to seek relief from the court and to participate in the liquidation process. Secured creditors may realize their security outside the liquidation process and participate in the liquidation process in respect of any balance of their debt remaining after realization of their security.

 

Environmental Considerations

 

General

 

A lender may be subject to environmental risks when taking a security interest in real property. Of particular concern may be properties that are or have been used for industrial, manufacturing, military or disposal activity. Such environmental risks include the possible diminution of the value of a contaminated property or, as discussed below, potential liability for clean-up costs or other remedial actions that could exceed the value of the property or the amount of the lender’s loan. In certain circumstances, a lender may decide to abandon a contaminated mortgaged property as collateral for its loan rather than foreclose and risk liability for clean-up costs.

 

Superlien Laws

 

Under the laws of many states, contamination on a property may give rise to a lien on the property for clean-up costs. In several states, such a lien has priority over all existing liens, including those of existing mortgages. In these states, the lien of a mortgage may lose its priority to such a “superlien”.

 

CERCLA

 

The federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended (“CERCLA”), imposes strict liability on present and past “owners” and “operators” of contaminated real property for the costs of clean-up. A secured lender may

 

 593

 

 

be liable as an “owner” or “operator” of a contaminated mortgaged property if agents or employees of the lender have participated in the management or operation of such mortgaged property. Such liability may exist even if the lender did not cause or contribute to the contamination and regardless of whether the lender has actually taken possession of a mortgaged property through foreclosure, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or otherwise. Moreover, such liability is not limited to the original or unamortized principal balance of a loan or to the value of the property securing a loan. Excluded from CERCLA’s definition of “owner” or “operator,” however, is a person “who, without participating in the management of the facility, holds indicia of ownership primarily to protect his security interest”. This is the so called “secured creditor exemption”.

 

The Asset Conservation, Lender Liability and Deposit Insurance Protection Act of 1996 (the “1996 Act”) amended, among other things, the provisions of CERCLA with respect to lender liability and the secured creditor exemption. The 1996 Act offers protection to lenders by defining the activities in which a lender can engage and still have the benefit of the secured creditor exemption. In order for a lender to be deemed to have participated in the management of a mortgaged property, the lender must actually participate in the operational affairs of the property of the borrower. The 1996 Act provides that “merely having the capacity to influence, or unexercised right to control” operations does not constitute participation in management. A lender will lose the protection of the secured creditor exemption if it exercises decision-making control over the borrower’s environmental compliance and hazardous substance handling or disposal practices, or assumes day-to-day management of environmental or substantially all other operational functions of the mortgaged property. The 1996 Act also provides that a lender will continue to have the benefit of the secured creditor exemption even if it forecloses on a mortgaged property, purchases it at a foreclosure sale or accepts a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, provided that the lender seeks to sell the mortgaged property at the earliest practicable commercially reasonable time on commercially reasonable terms.

 

Certain Other Federal and State Laws

 

Many states have statutes similar to CERCLA, and not all of those statutes provide for a secured creditor exemption. In addition, under federal law, there is potential liability relating to hazardous wastes and underground storage tanks under the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act.

 

Some federal, state and local laws, regulations and ordinances govern the management, removal, encapsulation or disturbance of asbestos-containing materials. These laws, as well as common law standards, may impose liability for releases of or exposure to asbestos-containing materials, and provide for third parties to seek recovery from owners or operators of real properties for personal injuries associated with those releases.

 

Federal legislation requires owners of residential housing constructed prior to 1978 to disclose to potential residents or purchasers any known lead-based paint hazards and will impose treble damages for any failure to disclose. In addition, the ingestion of lead-based paint chips or dust particles by children can result in lead poisoning. If lead-based paint hazards exist at a property, then the owner of that property may be held liable for injuries and for the costs of removal or encapsulation of the lead-based paint.

 

In a few states, transfers of some types of properties are conditioned upon clean-up of contamination prior to transfer. In these cases, a lender that becomes the owner of a property through foreclosure, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, may be required to clean up the contamination before selling or otherwise transferring the property.

 

 594

 

 

Beyond statute-based environmental liability, there exist common law causes of action (for example, actions based on nuisance or on toxic tort resulting in death, personal injury or damage to property) related to hazardous environmental conditions on a property. While it may be more difficult to hold a lender liable under common law causes of action, unanticipated or uninsured liabilities of the borrower may jeopardize the borrower’s ability to meet its loan obligations or may decrease the re-sale value of the collateral.

 

Additional Considerations

 

The cost of remediating hazardous substance contamination at a property can be substantial. If a lender becomes liable, it can bring an action for contribution against the owner or operator who created the environmental hazard, but that individual or entity may be without substantial assets. Accordingly, it is possible that such costs could become a liability of the issuing entity and occasion a loss to the certificateholders.

 

If a lender forecloses on a mortgage secured by a property, the operations on which are subject to environmental laws and regulations, the lender will be required to operate the property in accordance with those laws and regulations. Such compliance may entail substantial expense, especially in the case of industrial or manufacturing properties.

 

In addition, a lender may be obligated to disclose environmental conditions on a property to government entities and/or to prospective buyers (including prospective buyers at a foreclosure sale or following foreclosure). Such disclosure may decrease the amount that prospective buyers are willing to pay for the affected property, sometimes substantially, and thereby decrease the ability of the lender to recover its investment in a loan upon foreclosure.

 

Due-on-Sale and Due-on-Encumbrance Provisions

 

Certain of the mortgage loans may contain “due-on-sale” and “due-on-encumbrance” clauses that purport to permit the lender to accelerate the maturity of the loan if the borrower transfers or encumbers the related mortgaged property. The Garn-St Germain Depository Institutions Act of 1982 (the “Garn Act”) generally preempts state laws that prohibit the enforcement of due-on-sale clauses and permits lenders to enforce these clauses in accordance with their terms, subject to certain limitations as set forth in the Garn Act and related regulations. Accordingly, a lender may nevertheless have the right to accelerate the maturity of a mortgage loan that contains a “due-on-sale” provision upon transfer of an interest in the property, without regard to the lender’s ability to demonstrate that a sale threatens its legitimate security interest.

 

Subordinate Financing

 

The terms of certain of the mortgage loans may not restrict the ability of the borrower to use the mortgaged property as security for one or more additional loans, or such restrictions may be unenforceable. Where a borrower encumbers a mortgaged property with one or more junior liens, the senior lender is subjected to additional risk. First, the borrower may have difficulty servicing and repaying multiple loans. Moreover, if the subordinate financing permits recourse to the borrower (as-is frequently the case) and the senior loan does not, a borrower may have more incentive to repay sums due on the subordinate loan. Second, acts of the senior lender that prejudice the junior lender or impair the junior lender’s security may create a superior equity in favor of the junior lender. For example, if the borrower and the senior lender agree to an increase in the principal amount of or the interest rate payable on the senior loan, the senior lender may lose its priority to the extent any existing junior lender is harmed or the borrower is additionally

 

 595

 

 

burdened. Third, if the borrower defaults on the senior loan and/or any junior loan or loans, the existence of junior loans and actions taken by junior lenders can impair the security available to the senior lender and can interfere with or delay the taking of action by the senior lender. Moreover, the bankruptcy of a junior lender may operate to stay foreclosure or similar proceedings by the senior lender.

 

Default Interest and Limitations on Prepayments

 

Promissory notes and mortgages may contain provisions that obligate the borrower to pay a late charge or additional interest if payments are not timely made, and in some circumstances, may prohibit prepayments for a specified period and/or condition prepayments upon the borrower’s payment of prepayment fees or yield maintenance penalties. In certain states, there are or may be specific limitations upon the late charges which a lender may collect from a borrower for delinquent payments. Certain states also limit the amounts that a lender may collect from a borrower as an additional charge if the loan is prepaid. In addition, the enforceability of provisions that provide for prepayment fees or penalties upon an involuntary prepayment is unclear under the laws of many states.

 

Applicability of Usury Laws

 

Title V of the Depository Institutions Deregulation and Monetary Control Act of 1980 (“Title V”) provides that state usury limitations will not apply to certain types of residential (including multifamily) first mortgage loans originated by certain lenders after March 31, 1980. Title V authorized any state to reimpose interest rate limits by adopting, before April 1, 1983, a law or constitutional provision that expressly rejects application of the federal law. In addition, even where Title V is not so rejected, any state is authorized by the law to adopt a provision limiting discount points or other charges on mortgage loans covered by Title V. Certain states have taken action to reimpose interest rate limits and/or to limit discount points or other charges.

 

Statutes differ in their provisions as to the consequences of a usurious loan. One group of statutes requires the lender to forfeit the interest due above the applicable limit or impose a specified penalty. Under this statutory scheme, the borrower may cancel the recorded mortgage or deed of trust upon paying its debt with lawful interest, and the lender may foreclose, but only for the debt plus lawful interest. A second group of statutes is more severe. A violation of this type of usury law results in the invalidation of the transaction, thereby permitting the borrower to cancel the recorded mortgage or deed of trust without any payment or prohibiting the lender from foreclosing.

 

Americans with Disabilities Act

 

Under Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and related regulations (collectively, the “ADA”), in order to protect individuals with disabilities, public accommodations (such as hotel properties, restaurants, shopping centers, hospitals, schools and social service center establishments) must remove architectural and communication barriers which are structural in nature from existing places of public accommodation to the extent “readily achievable”. In addition, under the ADA, alterations to a place of public accommodation or a commercial facility are to be made so that, to the maximum extent feasible, such altered portions are readily accessible to and usable by disabled individuals. The “readily achievable” standard takes into account, among other factors, the financial resources of the affected site, owner, landlord or other applicable person. In addition to imposing a possible financial burden on the borrower in its capacity as owner or landlord, the ADA may also impose such requirements on a foreclosing lender who succeeds to the interest of the borrower as owner or landlord. Furthermore, since the “readily achievable”

 

 596

 

 

standard may vary depending on the financial condition of the owner or landlord, a foreclosing lender who is financially more capable than the borrower of complying with the requirements of the ADA may be subject to more stringent requirements than those to which the borrower is subject.

 

Servicemembers Civil Relief Act

 

Under the terms of the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act as amended (the “Relief Act”), a borrower who enters military service after the origination of such borrower’s mortgage loan (including a borrower who was in reserve status and is called to active duty after origination of the mortgage loan), upon notification by such borrower, will not be charged interest, including fees and charges, in excess of 6% per annum during the period of such borrower’s active duty status. In addition to adjusting the interest, the lender must forgive any such interest in excess of 6% unless a court or administrative agency orders otherwise upon application of the lender. The Relief Act applies to individuals who are members of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, National Guard, Reserves, Coast Guard and officers of the U.S. Public Health Service or the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration assigned to duty with the military. Because the Relief Act applies to individuals who enter military service (including reservists who are called to active duty) after origination of the related mortgage loan, no information can be provided as to the number of loans with individuals as borrowers that may be affected by the Relief Act. Application of the Relief Act would adversely affect, for an indeterminate period of time, the ability of the master servicer or special servicer to collect full amounts of interest on certain of the mortgage loans. Any shortfalls in interest collections resulting from the application of the Relief Act would result in a reduction of the amounts distributable to the holders of certificates, and would not be covered by advances or, any form of credit support provided in connection with the certificates. In addition, the Relief Act imposes limitations that would impair the ability of a lender to foreclose on an affected mortgage loan during the borrower’s period of active duty status, and, under certain circumstances, during an additional three-month period thereafter.

 

Anti-Money Laundering, Economic Sanctions and Bribery

 

Many jurisdictions have adopted wide-ranging anti-money laundering, economic and trade sanctions, and anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws, and regulations (collectively, the “Requirements”). Any of the depositor, the issuing entity, the underwriters or other party to the PSA could be requested or required to obtain certain assurances from prospective investors intending to purchase certificates and to retain such information or to disclose information pertaining to them to governmental, regulatory or other authorities or to financial intermediaries or engage in due diligence or take other related actions in the future. Failure to honor any request by the depositor, the issuing entity, the underwriters or other party to the PSA to provide requested information or take such other actions as may be necessary or advisable for the depositor, the issuing entity, the underwriters or other party to the PSA to comply with any Requirements, related legal process or appropriate requests (whether formal or informal) may result in, among other things, a forced sale to another investor of such investor’s certificates. In addition, it is expected that each of the depositor, the issuing entity, the underwriters and the other parties to the PSA will comply with the U.S. Bank Secrecy Act, U.S. Bank Secrecy Act, the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (also known as the “Patriot Act”) and any other anti-money laundering and anti-terrorism, economic and trade sanctions, and anti-corruption or anti-bribery laws, and regulations of the United States and other countries, and will disclose any information required or requested by authorities in connection with such compliance.

 

 597

 

 

Potential Forfeiture of Assets

 

Federal law provides that assets (including property purchased or improved with assets) derived from criminal activity or otherwise tainted, or used in the commission of certain offenses, is subject to the blocking requirements of economic sanctions laws and regulations, and can be blocked and/or seized and ordered forfeited to the United States of America. The offenses that can trigger such a blocking and/or seizure and forfeiture include, among others, violations of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, the U.S. Bank Secrecy Act, the anti-money laundering, anti-terrorism, economic sanctions, and anti-bribery laws and regulations, including the Patriot Act and the regulations issued pursuant to that act, as well as the narcotic drug laws. In many instances, the United States may seize the property even before a conviction occurs.

 

In the event of a forfeiture proceeding, a lender may be able to establish its interest in the property by proving that (a) its mortgage was executed and recorded before the commission of the illegal conduct from which the assets used to purchase or improve the property were derived or before the commission of any other crime upon which the forfeiture is based, or (b) the lender, at the time of the execution of the mortgage, “did not know or was reasonably without cause to believe that the property was subject to forfeiture”. However, there is no assurance that such a defense will be successful.

Yield and Maturity Considerations

 

Yield Considerations

 

General

 

The yield to maturity on the Offered Certificates will depend upon the price paid by the investors, the rate and timing of the distributions in reduction of the Certificate Balance or Notional Amount of the applicable class of Offered Certificates, the extent to which Yield Maintenance Charges and Prepayment Premiums allocated to the class of Offered Certificates are collected, and the rate, timing and severity of losses on the Mortgage Loans and the extent to which such losses are allocable in reduction of the Certificate Balance or Notional Amount of the class of Offered Certificates, as well as prevailing interest rates at the time of payment or loss realization.

 

Rate and Timing of Principal Payments

 

The rate and amount of distributions in reduction of the Certificate Balance of any class of Offered Certificates that are also Principal Balance Certificates and the yield to maturity of any class of Offered Certificates will be directly related to the rate of payments of principal (both scheduled and unscheduled) on the Mortgage Loans, as well as borrower defaults and the severity of losses occurring upon a default and the resulting rate and timing of collections made in connection with liquidations of Mortgage Loans due to these defaults. Principal payments on the Mortgage Loans will be affected by their amortization schedules, lockout periods, defeasance provisions, provisions relating to the release and/or application of earnout reserves, provisions requiring prepayments in connection with the release of real property collateral, requirements to pay Yield Maintenance Charges or Prepayment Premiums in connection with principal payments, the dates on which balloon payments are due, incentives for a borrower to repay an ARD Loan by the related Anticipated Repayment Date, property release provisions, provisions relating to the application of earnout reserve funds, and any extensions of maturity dates by the master servicer or special servicer. While voluntary prepayments of some Mortgage Loans are generally prohibited during applicable prepayment lockout periods, effective prepayments may occur if a sufficiently significant portion of a mortgaged property is lost due to casualty or condemnation (including full repayment of the loan without yield maintenance following partial casualty and the lender’s application of available proceeds to the debt). In addition, such distributions in reduction of Certificate Balances of the respective classes of Offered Certificates that are also Principal Balance Certificates may result from repurchases of, or substitutions for, Mortgage Loans made by the sponsors due to missing or defective documentation or breaches of representations and warranties with respect to the Mortgage Loans as described under “Description of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements” or purchases of the Mortgage Loans in the manner described under “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Termination; Retirement of Certificates”, and the exercise of purchase options by the holder of a Serviced Subordinate Companion Loan or a mezzanine loan, if any. To the extent a Mortgage Loan requires payment of a Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium in connection with a voluntary prepayment, any such Yield Maintenance Charge or

 

 602

 

 

Prepayment Premium generally is not due in connection with a prepayment due to casualty or condemnation, is not included in the purchase price of a Mortgage Loan purchased or repurchased due to a breach of a representation or warranty or otherwise, and may not be enforceable or collectible upon a default.

 

Because the certificates with Notional Amounts are not entitled to distributions of principal, the yield on such certificates will be extremely sensitive to prepayments received in respect of the Mortgage Loans to the extent distributed to reduce the related Notional Amount of the applicable class of certificates. In addition, although the borrower under an ARD Loan may have certain incentives to prepay such ARD Loan on its Anticipated Repayment Date, we cannot assure you that the borrower will be able to prepay such ARD Loan on its related Anticipated Repayment Date. The failure of the borrower to prepay an ARD Loan on its Anticipated Repayment Date will not be an event of default under the terms of such ARD Loan, and pursuant to the terms of the PSA, neither the master servicer nor the special servicer will be permitted to take any enforcement action with respect to the borrower’s failure to pay Excess Interest until the scheduled maturity of such ARD Loan; provided that the master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, may take action to enforce the issuing entity’s right to apply excess cash flow to principal in accordance with the terms of the respective ARD Loan documents. With respect to the Class A-SB certificates, the extent to which the planned balances are achieved and the sensitivity of the Class A-SB certificates to principal prepayments on the mortgage loans will depend in part on the period of time during which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4 and Class A-5 certificates remain outstanding. As such, the Class A-SB certificates will become more sensitive to the rate of prepayments on the mortgage loans than they were when the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4 and Class A-5 certificates were outstanding.

 

The extent to which the yield to maturity of any class of Offered Certificates may vary from the anticipated yield will depend upon the degree to which the certificates are purchased at a discount or premium and when, and to what degree, payments of principal on the Mortgage Loans are in turn distributed on the certificates or, in the case of the Class X-A or Class X-B certificates with a Notional Amount, applied to reduce their Notional Amounts. An investor should consider, in the case of any certificate (other than a certificate with a Notional Amount) purchased at a discount, the risk that a slower than anticipated rate of principal payments on the Mortgage Loans could result in an actual yield to such investor that is lower than the anticipated yield and, in the case of any certificate purchased at a premium (including certificates with Notional Amounts), the risk that a faster than anticipated rate of principal payments could result in an actual yield to such investor that is lower than the anticipated yield. In general, the earlier a payment of principal on the Mortgage Loans is distributed or otherwise results in reduction of the Certificate Balance of a certificate purchased at a discount or premium, the greater will be the effect on an investor’s yield to maturity. As a result, the effect on an investor’s yield of principal payments distributed on an investor’s certificates occurring at a rate higher (or lower) than the rate anticipated by the investor during any particular period would not be fully offset by a subsequent like reduction (or increase) in the rate of principal payments.

 

The yield on each of the classes of certificates that have a Pass-Through Rate equal to, limited by, or based on, the WAC Rate could (or in the case of any class of certificates with a Pass-Through Rate equal to, or based on, the WAC Rate, would) be adversely affected if Mortgage Loans with higher Mortgage Rates prepay faster than Mortgage Loans with lower Mortgage Rates. The Pass-Through Rates on these classes of certificates may be adversely affected by a decrease in the WAC Rate even if principal prepayments do not occur.

 

 603

 

 

Losses and Shortfalls

 

The Certificate Balance or Notional Amount of any class of Offered Certificates may be reduced without distributions of principal as a result of the occurrence and allocation of Realized Losses, reducing the maximum amount distributable in respect of principal on the Offered Certificates that are Principal Balance Certificates as well as the amount of interest that would have otherwise been payable on the Offered Certificates in the absence of such reduction. In general, a Realized Loss occurs when the principal balance of a Mortgage Loan is reduced without an equal distribution to applicable Certificateholders in reduction of the Certificate Balances of the certificates. Realized Losses may occur in connection with a default on a Mortgage Loan, acceptance of a discounted pay-off, the liquidation of the related Mortgaged Properties, a reduction in the principal balance of a Mortgage Loan by a bankruptcy court or pursuant to a modification, a recovery by the master servicer or trustee of a Nonrecoverable Advance on a Distribution Date or the incurrence of certain unanticipated or default-related costs and expenses (such as interest on Advances, Workout Fees, Liquidation Fees and Special Servicing Fees). Any reduction of the Certificate Balances of the classes of certificates indicated in the table below as a result of the application of Realized Losses will also reduce the Notional Amount of the related certificates.

 

Interest-Only
Class of Certificates

 

Class Notional Amount

 

Underlying Classes

Class X-A     $ 520,382,000   Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4 and Class A-5 certificates
Class X-B     $ 133,813,000   Class A-S, Class B and Class C certificates

 

Certificateholders are not entitled to receive distributions of Periodic Payments when due except to the extent they are either covered by a P&I Advance or actually received. Consequently, any defaulted Periodic Payment for which no such P&I Advance is made will tend to extend the weighted average lives of the Offered Certificates, whether or not a permitted extension of the due date of the related Mortgage Loan has been completed.

 

Certain Relevant Factors Affecting Loan Payments and Defaults

 

The rate and timing of principal payments and defaults and the severity of losses on the Mortgage Loans may be affected by a number of factors, including, without limitation, the availability of credit for commercial or multifamily real estate, prevailing interest rates, the terms of the Mortgage Loans (e.g., due-on-sale clauses, lockout periods or Yield Maintenance Charges, release of property provisions, provisions relating to the application of earnout reserve funds, amortization terms that require balloon payments and incentives for a borrower to repay its mortgage loan by an anticipated repayment date), the exercise of a purchase option by the holder of a mezzanine loan, the demographics and relative economic vitality of the areas in which the Mortgaged Properties are located and the general supply and demand for rental properties in those areas, the quality of management of the Mortgaged Properties, the servicing of the Mortgage Loans, possible changes in tax laws and other opportunities for investment. See “Risk Factors” and “Description of the Mortgage Pool”.

 

The rate of prepayment on the pool of Mortgage Loans is likely to be affected by prevailing market interest rates for Mortgage Loans of a comparable type, term and risk level as the Mortgage Loans. When the prevailing market interest rate is below a mortgage interest rate, a borrower may have an increased incentive to refinance its Mortgage Loan.

 

 604

 

 

Although the Mortgage Loans contain provisions designed to mitigate the likelihood of an early loan repayment, we cannot assure you that the related borrowers will refrain from prepaying their Mortgage Loans due to the existence of these provisions, or that involuntary prepayments will not occur. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Certain Terms of the Mortgage Loans”.

 

With respect to certain Mortgage Loans, the related Mortgage Loan documents allow for the sale of individual properties and the severance of the related debt and the assumption by the transferee of such portion of the Mortgage Loan as-is allocable to the individual property acquired by that transferee, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. In addition, with respect to certain Mortgage Loans, the related Mortgage Loan documents allow for partial releases of individual Mortgaged Properties during a lockout period or during such time as a Yield Maintenance Charge would otherwise be payable, which could result in a prepayment of a portion of the initial principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan without payment of a Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium. Additionally, in the case of a partial release of an individual Mortgaged Property, the related release amount in many cases is greater than the allocated loan amount for the Mortgaged Property being released, which would result in a greater than proportionate paydown of the Mortgage Loan. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Certain Terms of the Mortgage Loans— Releases; Partial Releases”.

 

Depending on prevailing market interest rates, the outlook for market interest rates and economic conditions generally, some borrowers may sell Mortgaged Properties in order to realize their equity in the Mortgaged Property, to meet cash flow needs or to make other investments. In addition, some borrowers may be motivated by federal and state tax laws (which are subject to change) to sell Mortgaged Properties prior to the exhaustion of tax depreciation benefits.

 

We make no representation as to the particular factors that will affect the rate and timing of prepayments and defaults on the Mortgage Loans, as to the relative importance of those factors, as to the percentage of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loans that will be prepaid or as to which a default will have occurred as of any date or as to the overall rate of prepayment or default on the Mortgage Loans.

 

Delay in Payment of Distributions

 

Because each monthly distribution is made on each Distribution Date, which is at least 15 days after the end of the related Interest Accrual Period for the certificates, the effective yield to the holders of such certificates will be lower than the yield that would otherwise be produced by the applicable Pass-Through Rates and purchase prices (assuming the prices did not account for the delay).

 

 605

 

 

Yield on the Certificates with Notional Amounts

 

The yield to maturity of the certificates with a Notional Amount will be highly sensitive to the rate and timing of reductions made to the Certificate Balances of the classes of certificates indicated in the table below, including by reason of prepayments and principal losses on the Mortgage Loans and other factors described above.

 

Interest-Only
Class of Certificates

 

Class Notional Amount

 

Underlying Classes

Class X-A     $ 520,382,000   Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4 and Class A-5 certificates
Class X-B     $ 133,813,000   Class A-S, Class B and Class C certificates

 

Any optional termination by the holders of the Controlling Class, the special servicer, the master servicer or the holders of the Class R certificates would result in prepayment in full of the Offered Certificates and would have an adverse effect on the yield of a class of the certificates with a Notional Amount because a termination would have an effect similar to a principal prepayment in full of the Mortgage Loans and, as a result, investors in these certificates and any other Offered Certificates purchased at premium might not fully recoup their initial investment. See “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Termination; Retirement of Certificates”.

 

Investors in the certificates with a Notional Amount should fully consider the associated risks, including the risk that an extremely rapid rate of prepayment or other liquidation of the Mortgage Loans could result in the failure of such investors to recoup fully their initial investments.

 

Weighted Average Life

 

The weighted average life of a Principal Balance Certificate refers to the average amount of time that will elapse from the date of its issuance until each dollar to be applied in reduction of the aggregate certificate balance of those certificates is paid to the related investor. The weighted average life of a Principal Balance Certificate will be influenced by, among other things, the rate at which principal on the Mortgage Loans is paid or otherwise received, which may be in the form of scheduled amortization, voluntary prepayments, Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds. Distributions among the various classes of certificates will be made as set forth under “Description of the Certificates—Distributions—Priority of Distributions”.

 

Prepayments on Mortgage Loans may be measured by a prepayment standard or model. The “Constant Prepayment Rate” or “CPR” model represents an assumed constant annual rate of prepayment (or, with respect to a Serviced AB Whole Loan, allocation of principal payments to the related Mortgage Loan) each month, expressed as a per annum percentage of the then-scheduled principal balance of the pool of Mortgage Loans. The “CPY” model represents an assumed CPR prepayment rate after any applicable lockout period, any applicable period in which defeasance is permitted and any applicable yield maintenance period. The depositor also may utilize the “CPP” model, which represents an assumed CPR prepayment rate after any applicable lockout period, any applicable period in which defeasance is permitted, any applicable yield maintenance period and after any fixed penalty period. The model used in this prospectus is the CPP model. As used in each of the following tables, the column headed “0% CPP” assumes that none of the Mortgage Loans is prepaid before its maturity date or Anticipated Repayment Date, as the case may be. The columns headed “25% CPP”, “50% CPP”, “75% CPP” and “100% CPP” assume that

prepayments on the Mortgage Loans (or, with respect to a Serviced AB Whole Loan, principal payments are allocated to the related Mortgage Loan) are made at those levels of CPP. We cannot assure you, however, that prepayments of the Mortgage Loans (or, with respect to a Serviced AB Whole Loan, allocation of principal payments to the related Mortgage Loan) will conform to any level of CPP, and we make no representation that the Mortgage Loans will prepay (or, with respect to a Serviced AB Whole Loan, principal payments will be allocated to the related Mortgage Loan) at the levels of CPP shown or at any other prepayment rate.

 

The following tables indicate the percentage of the initial Certificate Balance of each class of the Offered Certificates that are also Principal Balance Certificates that would be outstanding after each of the dates shown at various CPPs and the corresponding weighted average life of each such class of Offered Certificates. The tables have been prepared on the basis of the following assumptions (the “Structuring Assumptions”), among others:

 

except as otherwise set forth below, the Mortgage Loans have the characteristics set forth on Annex A-1 and the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of the Mortgage Loans is as described in this prospectus;

 

the initial aggregate certificate balance or notional amount, as the case may be, of each interest-bearing class of certificates is as described in this prospectus;

 

the pass-through rate for each interest-bearing class of certificates is as described in this prospectus;

 

no delinquencies, defaults or losses occur with respect to any of the Mortgage Loans;

 

no additional trust fund expenses (including Operating Advisor Expenses) arise, no Servicing Advances are made under the PSA and the only expenses of the issuing entity consist of the Certificate Administrator/Trustee Fees, the Servicing Fees, the CREFC® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fees, the Asset Representations Reviewer Fees and the Operating Advisor fees, each as set forth on Annex A-1;

 

there are no modifications, extensions, waivers or amendments affecting the monthly debt service payments by borrowers on the Mortgage Loans;

 

each of the Mortgage Loans provides for monthly debt service payments to be due on the first day of each month, regardless of the actual day of the month on which those payments are otherwise due and regardless of whether the subject date is a business day or not;

 

all monthly debt service or balloon payments on the Mortgage Loans are timely received by the master servicer on behalf of the issuing entity on the day on which they are assumed to be due or paid as described in the immediately preceding bullet;

 

each ARD Loan, if any, in the trust fund is paid in full on its Anticipated Repayment Date;

 

no involuntary prepayments are received as to any Mortgage Loan at any time (including, without limitation, as a result of any application of escrows, reserve or holdback amounts if performance criteria are not satisfied);

 

 607

 

 

except as described in the next two succeeding bullets, no voluntary prepayments are received as to any Mortgage Loan during that Mortgage Loan’s prepayment lockout period, any period when defeasance is permitted, or during any period when principal prepayments on that Mortgage Loan are required to be accompanied by a Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge;

 

except as otherwise assumed in the immediately preceding two bullets, prepayments are made on each of the Mortgage Loans at the indicated CPPs set forth in the subject tables or other relevant part of this prospectus, without regard to any limitations in those Mortgage Loans on partial voluntary principal prepayments;

 

all prepayments on the Mortgage Loans are assumed to be accompanied by a full month’s interest and no Prepayment Interest Shortfalls occur;

 

no Yield Maintenance Charges or Prepayment Premiums are collected;

 

no person or entity entitled thereto exercises its right of optional termination as described in this prospectus;

 

no Mortgage Loan is required to be repurchased, and none of the holders of the Controlling Class (or any other Certificateholder), the special servicer, the master servicer or the holders of the Class R certificates will exercise its option to purchase all the Mortgage Loans and thereby cause an early termination of the issuing entity and no holder of any Subordinate Companion Loan, mezzanine debt or other indebtedness will exercise its option to purchase the related Mortgage Loan;

 

distributions on the Offered Certificates are made on the 15th day of each month, commencing in December 2017; and

 

the Offered Certificates are settled with investors on November 16, 2017.

 

To the extent that the Mortgage Loans have characteristics that differ from those assumed in preparing the tables set forth below, a class of the Offered Certificates that are also Principal Balance Certificates may mature earlier or later than indicated by the tables. The tables set forth below are for illustrative purposes only and it is highly unlikely that the Mortgage Loans will actually prepay at any constant rate until maturity or that all the Mortgage Loans will prepay at the same rate. In addition, variations in the actual prepayment experience and the balance of the Mortgage Loans that prepay may increase or decrease the percentages of initial Certificate Balances (and weighted average lives) shown in the following tables. These variations may occur even if the average prepayment experience of the Mortgage Loans were to equal any of the specified CPP percentages. Investors should not rely on the prepayment assumptions set forth in this prospectus and are urged to conduct their own analyses of the rates at which the Mortgage Loans may be expected to prepay, based on their own assumptions. Based on the foregoing assumptions, the following tables indicate the resulting weighted average lives of each class of Offered Certificates and set forth the percentage of the initial Certificate Balance of the class of the certificate that would be outstanding after each of the dates shown at the indicated CPPs.

Pre-Tax Yield to Maturity Tables

 

The following tables indicate the approximate pre-tax yield to maturity on a corporate bond equivalent basis on the Offered Certificates for the specified CPPs based on the assumptions set forth under “—Weighted Average Life” above. It was further assumed that the purchase price of the Offered Certificates is as specified in the tables below, expressed as a percentage of the initial Certificate Balance or Notional Amount, as applicable, plus accrued interest from November 1, 2017 to the Closing Date.

 

The yields set forth in the following tables were calculated by determining the monthly discount rates that, when applied to the assumed streams of cash flows to be paid on the applicable class of Offered Certificates, would cause the discounted present value of such assumed stream of cash flows to equal the assumed purchase price of such class plus accrued interest, and by converting such monthly rates to semi-annual corporate bond equivalent rates. Such calculations do not take into account shortfalls in collection of interest due to prepayments (or other liquidations) of the Mortgage Loans or the interest rates at which investors may be able to reinvest funds received by them as distributions on the applicable class of certificates (and, accordingly, do not purport to reflect the return on any investment in the applicable class of Offered Certificates when such reinvestment rates are considered).

 

The characteristics of the Mortgage Loans may differ from those assumed in preparing the tables below. In addition, we cannot assure you that the Mortgage Loans will prepay in accordance with the above assumptions (or, with respect to a Serviced AB Whole Loan, amounts will be allocated to the related Mortgage Loan in accordance with the above assumptions) at any of the rates shown in the tables or at any other particular rate, that the cash flows on the applicable class of Offered Certificates will correspond to the cash flows shown in this prospectus or that the aggregate purchase price of such class of Offered Certificates will be as assumed. In addition, it is unlikely that the Mortgage Loans will prepay in accordance with the above assumptions at any of the specified CPPs until maturity or that all the Mortgage Loans will so prepay at the same rate. Timing of changes in the rate of prepayments may significantly affect the actual yield to maturity to investors, even if the average rate of principal prepayments is consistent with the expectations of investors. Investors must make their own decisions as to the appropriate prepayment assumption to be used in deciding whether to purchase any class of Offered Certificates.

 

For purposes of this prospectus, prepayment assumptions with respect to the Mortgage Loans are presented in terms of the CPP model described under “—Weighted Average Life” above.

Material Federal Income Tax Considerations

 

General

 

The following is a general discussion of the anticipated material federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the certificates. The discussion below does not purport to address all federal income tax consequences that may be applicable to particular categories of investors (such as banks, insurance companies, securities dealers, foreign persons, investors whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, and investors that hold the certificates as part of a “straddle” or “conversion transaction”), some of which may be subject to special rules. The authorities on which this discussion is based are subject to change or differing interpretations, and any such change or interpretation could apply retroactively. This discussion reflects the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), as well as regulations (the “REMIC Regulations”) promulgated by the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the IRS. Investors are encouraged to consult their tax advisors in determining the federal, state, local or any other tax consequences to them of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the certificates.

 

Two separate real estate mortgage investment conduit (“REMIC”) elections will be made with respect to designated portions of the issuing entity (the “Lower-Tier REMIC” and the “Upper-Tier REMIC”, and, together, the “Trust REMICs”). The Lower-Tier REMIC will hold the Mortgage Loans (excluding Excess Interest) and certain other assets and will issue (i) certain classes of regular interests (the “Lower-Tier Regular Interests”) to the Upper-Tier REMIC and (ii) an uncertificated interest represented by the Class R certificates as the sole class of “residual interests” in the Lower-Tier REMIC.

 

The Upper-Tier REMIC will hold the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and will issue (i) the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-SB, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class D-RR, Class E-RR, Class F-RR, Class G-RR and Class NR-RR certificates (the “Regular Interests”), each representing a regular interest in the Upper-Tier REMIC and (ii) an uncertificated interest represented by the Class R certificates as the sole class of “residual interests” in the Upper-Tier REMIC.

 

Qualification as a REMIC requires ongoing compliance with certain conditions. Assuming (i) the making of appropriate elections, (ii) compliance with the PSA and any Intercreditor Agreement, (iii) compliance with the provisions of any Non-Serviced PSA and any amendments thereto and the continued qualification of the REMICs formed under any Non-Serviced PSA and (iv) compliance with any changes in the law, including any amendments to the Code or applicable Treasury regulations thereunder, in the opinion of Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP, special tax counsel to the depositor, (a) each Trust REMIC will qualify as a REMIC on the Closing Date and thereafter, (b) each of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests will constitute a “regular interest” in the Lower-Tier REMIC, (c) each of the Regular Interests will constitute a “regular interest” in the Upper-Tier REMIC and (d) the Class R certificates will evidence the sole class of “residual interests” in each Trust REMIC.

 

In addition, in the opinion of Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP, special tax counsel to the depositor, the Excess Interest and the Excess Interest Distribution Account will be treated as a grantor trust (the “Grantor Trust”) for federal income tax purposes under subpart E, part I of subchapter J of the Code. Accordingly, the Class Z certificates will represent undivided beneficial interests in the Grantor Trust.

 

 616

 

 

Qualification as a REMIC

 

In order for each Trust REMIC to qualify as a REMIC, there must be ongoing compliance on the part of such Trust REMIC with the requirements set forth in the Code. Each Trust REMIC must fulfill an asset test, which requires that no more than a de minimis portion of the assets of such Trust REMIC, as of the close of the third calendar month beginning after the Closing Date (which for purposes of this discussion is the date of the issuance of the Regular Interests, the “Startup Day”) and at all times thereafter, may consist of assets other than “qualified mortgages” and “permitted investments”. The REMIC Regulations provide a safe harbor pursuant to which the de minimis requirements will be met if at all times the aggregate adjusted basis of the nonqualified assets is less than 1% of the aggregate adjusted basis of all such Trust REMIC’s assets. Each Trust REMIC also must provide “reasonable arrangements” to prevent its residual interest from being held by “disqualified organizations” or their agents and must furnish applicable tax information to transferors or agents that violate this restriction. The PSA will provide that no legal or beneficial interest in the Class R certificates may be transferred or registered unless certain conditions, designed to prevent violation of this restriction, are met. Consequently, it is expected that each Trust REMIC will qualify as a REMIC at all times that any of its regular interests are outstanding.

 

A qualified mortgage is any obligation that is principally secured by an interest in real property and that is either transferred to a REMIC on the Startup Day or is purchased by a REMIC within a 3 month period thereafter pursuant to a fixed price contract in effect on the Startup Day. Qualified mortgages include (i) whole mortgage loans or split-note interests in such mortgage loans, such as the Mortgage Loans; provided that, in general, (a) the fair market value of the real property security (including buildings and structural components of the real property security) (reduced by (1) the amount of any lien on the real property security that is senior to the Mortgage Loan and (2) a proportionate amount of any lien on the real property security that is in parity with the Mortgage Loan) is at least 80% of the aggregate principal balance of such Mortgage Loan either at origination or as of the Startup Day (a loan-to-value ratio of not more than 125% with respect to the real property security) or (b) substantially all the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan were used to acquire, improve or protect an interest in real property that, at the date of origination, was the only security for the Mortgage Loan, and (ii) regular interests in another REMIC, such as the Lower-Tier Regular Interests that will be held by the Upper-Tier REMIC. If a Mortgage Loan was not in fact principally secured by real property or is otherwise not a qualified mortgage, it must be disposed of within 90 days of discovery of such defect, or otherwise ceases to be a qualified mortgage after such 90-day period.

 

Permitted investments include “cash flow investments”, “qualified reserve assets” and “foreclosure property”. A cash flow investment is an investment, earning a return in the nature of interest, of amounts received on or with respect to qualified mortgages for a temporary period, not exceeding 13 months, until the next scheduled distribution to holders of interests in the REMIC. A qualified reserve asset is any intangible property held for investment that is part of any reasonably required reserve maintained by the REMIC to provide for payments of expenses of the REMIC or amounts due on its regular or residual interests in the event of defaults (including delinquencies) on the qualified mortgages, lower than expected reinvestment returns, Prepayment Interest Shortfalls and certain other contingencies. The Trust REMICs will not hold any qualified reserve assets. Foreclosure property is real property acquired by a REMIC in connection with the default or imminent default of a qualified mortgage and maintained by the REMIC in compliance with applicable rules and personal property that is incidental to such real property; provided that the mortgage loan sellers had no knowledge or reason to know, as of the Startup Day, that such

 

 617

 

 

a default had occurred or would occur. Foreclosure property may generally not be held after the close of the third calendar year beginning after the date the issuing entity acquires such property, with one extension that may be granted by the IRS.

 

A mortgage loan held by a REMIC will fail to be a qualified mortgage if it is “significantly modified” unless default is “reasonably foreseeable” or where the servicer believes there is a “significant risk of default” upon maturity of the mortgage loan or at an earlier date, and that by making such modification the risk of default is substantially reduced. A mortgage loan held by a REMIC will not be considered to have been “significantly modified” following the release of the lien on a portion of the real property collateral if (a) the release is pursuant to a defeasance permitted under the Mortgage Loan documents that occurs more than two years after the startup day of the REMIC or (b) following the release the loan-to-value ratio for the mortgage loan is not more than 125% with respect to the real property security. Furthermore, if the release is not pursuant to a defeasance and following the release the loan-to-value ratio for the mortgage loan is greater than 125%, the mortgage loan will continue to be a qualified mortgage if the release is part of a “qualified paydown transaction” in accordance with Revenue Procedure 2010-30.

 

In addition to the foregoing requirements, the various interests in a REMIC also must meet certain requirements. All of the interests in a REMIC must be either of the following: (i) one or more classes of regular interests or (ii) a single class of residual interests on which distributions, if any, are made pro rata. A regular interest is an interest in a REMIC that is issued on the Startup Day with fixed terms, is designated as a regular interest, and unconditionally entitles the holder to receive a specified principal amount (or other similar amount), and provides that interest payments (or other similar amounts), if any, at or before maturity either are payable based on a fixed rate or a qualified variable rate, or consist of a specified, nonvarying portion of the interest payments on the qualified mortgages. The rate on the specified portion may be a fixed rate, a variable rate, or the difference between one fixed or qualified variable rate and another fixed or qualified variable rate. The specified principal amount of a regular interest that provides for interest payments consisting of a specified, nonvarying portion of interest payments on qualified mortgages may be zero. An interest in a REMIC may be treated as a regular interest even if payments of principal with respect to such interest are subordinated to payments on other regular interests or the residual interest in the REMIC, and are dependent on the absence of defaults or delinquencies on qualified mortgages or permitted investments, lower than reasonably expected returns on permitted investments, expenses incurred by the REMIC or Prepayment Interest Shortfalls. A residual interest is an interest in a REMIC other than a regular interest that is issued on the Startup Day that is designated as a residual interest. Accordingly, each of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests will constitute a class of regular interests in the Lower-Tier REMIC, each class of the Regular Interests will constitute a class of regular interests in the Upper-Tier REMIC, and the Class R certificates will represent the sole class of residual interests in each Trust REMIC.

 

If an entity fails to comply with one or more of the ongoing requirements of the Code for status as a REMIC during any taxable year, the Code provides that the entity or applicable portion of it will not be treated as a REMIC for such year and thereafter. In this event, any entity with debt obligations with two or more maturities, such as the Trust REMICs, may be treated as a separate association taxable as a corporation under Treasury regulations, and the certificates may be treated as equity interests in such an association. The Code, however, authorizes the Treasury Department to issue regulations that address situations where failure to meet one or more of the requirements for REMIC status occurs inadvertently and in good faith. Investors should be aware, however, that the Conference Committee Report to the Tax Reform Act of 1986 (the “1986 Act”) indicates that the relief

 

 618

 

 

may be accompanied by sanctions, such as the imposition of a corporate tax on all or a portion of a REMIC’s income for the period of time in which the requirements for REMIC status are not satisfied.

 

Status of Offered Certificates

 

Offered Certificates held by a real estate investment trust will constitute “real estate assets” within the meaning of Code Section 856(c)(5)(B), and interest (including original issue discount) on the Offered Certificates will be considered “interest on obligations secured by mortgages on real property or on interests in real property” within the meaning of Code Section 856(c)(3)(B) in the same proportion that, for both purposes, the assets of the issuing entity would be so treated. For purposes of Code Section 856(c)(5)(B), payments of principal and interest on the Mortgage Loans that are reinvested pending distribution to holders of Offered Certificates qualify for such treatment. Offered Certificates held by a domestic building and loan association will be treated as “loans . . . secured by an interest in real property which is . . . residential real property” within the meaning of Code Section 7701(a)(19)(C)(v) or as other assets described in Code Section 7701(a)(19)(C) only to the extent the Mortgage Loans are secured by residential real property. As of the Cut-off Date, five (5) Mortgaged Properties representing 8.4% of the Initial Pool Balance, are multifamily properties. Holders of Offered Certificates should consult their tax advisors whether the foregoing percentage or some other percentage applies to their Offered Certificates. If at all times 95% or more of the assets of the issuing entity qualify for each of the foregoing treatments, the Offered Certificates will qualify for the corresponding status in their entirety. For the purposes of the foregoing determinations, the Trust REMICs will be treated as a single REMIC. In addition, Mortgage Loans that have been defeased with government securities will not qualify for such treatment. Offered Certificates will be “qualified mortgages” within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(3) for another REMIC if transferred to that REMIC within a prescribed time period in exchange for regular or residual interests in that REMIC. Moreover, Offered Certificates held by certain financial institutions will constitute an “evidence of indebtedness” within the meaning of Code Section 582(c)(1).

 

Taxation of Regular Interests

 

General

 

Each class of Regular Interests represents a regular interest in the Upper-Tier REMIC. The Regular Interests will represent newly originated debt instruments for federal income tax purposes. In general, interest, original issue discount and market discount on a Regular Interest will be treated as ordinary income to the holder of a Regular Interest (a “Regular Interestholder”), and principal payments on a Regular Interest will be treated as a return of capital to the extent of the Regular Interestholder’s basis in the Regular Interest. Regular Interestholders must use the accrual method of accounting with regard to the Regular Interests, regardless of the method of accounting otherwise used by such Regular Interestholders.

 

Original Issue Discount

 

Holders of Regular Interests issued with original issue discount generally must include original issue discount in ordinary income for federal income tax purposes as it accrues in accordance with the constant yield method, which takes into account the compounding of interest, in advance of receipt of the cash attributable to such income. The following discussion is based on temporary and final Treasury regulations (the “OID Regulations”) under Code Sections 1271 through 1273 and 1275 and in part on the provisions of the 1986

 

 619

 

 

Act. Regular Interestholders should be aware, however, that the OID Regulations do not adequately address certain issues relevant to prepayable securities, such as the Regular Interests. To the extent such issues are not addressed in the OID Regulations, the certificate administrator will apply the methodology described in the Conference Committee Report to the 1986 Act. No assurance can be provided that the IRS will not take a different position as to those matters not currently addressed by the OID Regulations. Moreover, the OID Regulations include an anti-abuse rule allowing the IRS to apply or depart from the OID Regulations if necessary or appropriate to ensure a reasonable tax result in light of the applicable statutory provisions. A tax result will not be considered unreasonable under the anti-abuse rule, however, in the absence of a substantial effect on the present value of a taxpayer’s tax liability. Investors are advised to consult their own tax advisors as to the discussion in this prospectus and the appropriate method for reporting interest and original issue discount with respect to the Regular Interests.

 

Each Regular Interest will be treated as an installment obligation for purposes of determining the original issue discount includible in a Regular Interestholder’s income. The total amount of original issue discount on a Regular Interest is the excess of the “stated redemption price at maturity” of the Regular Interest over its “issue price”. The issue price of a class of Regular Interests is the first price at which a substantial amount of Regular Interests of such class is sold to investors (excluding bond houses, brokers and underwriters). Although unclear under the OID Regulations, the certificate administrator will treat the issue price of Regular Interests for which there is no substantial sale as of the issue date as the fair market value of such Regular Interests as of the issue date. The issue price of the Regular Interests also includes the amount paid by an initial Regular Interestholder for accrued interest that relates to a period prior to the issue date of such class of Regular Interests. The stated redemption price at maturity of a Regular Interest is the sum of all payments provided by the debt instrument other than any qualified stated interest payments. Under the OID Regulations, qualified stated interest generally means interest payable at a single fixed rate or a qualified variable rate; provided that such interest payments are unconditionally payable at intervals of one year or less during the entire term of the obligation. Because there is no penalty or default remedy in the case of nonpayment of interest with respect to a Regular Interest, it is possible that no interest on any class of Regular Interests will be treated as qualified stated interest. However, because the Mortgage Loans provide for remedies in the event of default, the certificate administrator will treat all payments of stated interest on the Regular Interests (other than the Class X Certificates) as qualified stated interest (other than accrued interest distributed on the first Distribution Date for the number of days that exceed the interval between the Closing Date and the first Distribution Date). Based upon the anticipated issue price of each such class and a stated redemption price equal to the par amount of each such class (plus such excess interest accrued thereon), it is anticipated that the Class [__] certificates will be issued with original issue discount for federal income tax purposes.

 

It is anticipated that the certificate administrator will treat the Class X-A and Class X-B certificates as having no qualified stated interest. Accordingly, such classes will be considered to be issued with original issue discount in an amount equal to the excess of all distributions of interest expected to be received on such classes over their respective issue prices (including interest accrued prior to the Closing Date). Any “negative” amounts of original issue discount on such classes attributable to rapid prepayments with respect to the Mortgage Loans will not be deductible currently. The holder of a Class X-A or Class X-B certificate may be entitled to a deduction for a loss, which may be a capital loss, to the extent it becomes certain that such holder will not recover a portion of its basis in such class, assuming no further prepayments. In the alternative, it is possible that rules similar to the “noncontingent bond method” of the contingent interest rules of the OID Regulations

 

 620

 

 

may be promulgated with respect to such classes. Unless and until required otherwise by applicable authority, it is not anticipated that the contingent interest rules will apply.

 

Under a de minimis rule, original issue discount on a Regular Interest will be considered to be zero if such original issue discount is less than 0.25% of the stated redemption price at maturity of the Regular Interest multiplied by the weighted average maturity of the Regular Interest. For this purpose, the weighted average maturity of the Regular Interest is computed as the sum of the amounts determined by multiplying the number of full years (i.e., rounding down partial years) from the issue date until each distribution in reduction of stated redemption price at maturity is scheduled to be made by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of each distribution included in the stated redemption price at maturity of the Regular Interest and the denominator of which is the stated redemption price at maturity of the Regular Interest. The Conference Committee Report to the 1986 Act provides that the schedule of such distributions should be determined in accordance with the assumed rate of prepayment on the Mortgage Loans used in pricing the transaction, i.e., 0% CPR; provided that it is assumed that any ARD Loan prepays on its anticipated repayment date (the “Prepayment Assumption”). See “Yield and Maturity Considerations—Weighted Average Life” above. Holders generally must report de minimis original issue discount pro rata as principal payments are received, and such income will be capital gain if the Regular Interest is held as a capital asset. Under the OID Regulations, however, Regular Interestholders may elect to accrue all de minimis original issue discount, as well as market discount and premium, under the constant yield method. See “—Election To Treat All Interest Under the Constant Yield Method” below. Based on the foregoing, it is anticipated that the Class [__] certificates will be issued with de minimis original issue discount for federal income tax purposes.

 

A holder of a Regular Interest issued with original issue discount generally must include in gross income for any taxable year the sum of the “daily portions”, as defined below, of the original issue discount on the Regular Interest accrued during an accrual period for each day on which it holds the Regular Interest, including the date of purchase but excluding the date of disposition. With respect to each such Regular Interest, a calculation will be made of the original issue discount that accrues during each successive full accrual period that ends on the day prior to each Distribution Date with respect to the Regular Interests, assuming that prepayments and extensions with respect to the Mortgage Loans will be made in accordance with the Prepayment Assumption. The original issue discount accruing in a full accrual period will be the excess, if any, of (i) the sum of (a) the present value of all of the remaining distributions to be made on the Regular Interest as of the end of that accrual period and (b) the distributions made on the Regular Interest during the accrual period that are included in the Regular Interest’s stated redemption price at maturity, over (ii) the adjusted issue price of the Regular Interest at the beginning of the accrual period. The present value of the remaining distributions referred to in the preceding sentence is calculated based on (i) the yield to maturity of the Regular Interest as of the Startup Day, (ii) events (including actual prepayments) that have occurred prior to the end of the accrual period and (iii) the assumption that the remaining payments will be made in accordance with the original Prepayment Assumption. For these purposes, the adjusted issue price of a Regular Interest at the beginning of any accrual period equals the issue price of the Regular Interest, increased by the aggregate amount of original issue discount with respect to the Regular Interest that accrued in all prior accrual periods and reduced by the amount of distributions included in the Regular Interest’s stated redemption price at maturity that were made on the Regular Interest that were attributable to such prior periods. The original issue discount accruing during any accrual period (as determined in this paragraph) will then be divided by the number of days in the period to determine the daily portion of original issue discount for each day in the period.

 

 621

 

 

Under the method described above, the daily portions of original issue discount required to be included as ordinary income by a Regular Interestholder (other than a holder of a Class X-A or Class X-B certificate) generally will increase to take into account prepayments on the Regular Interests as a result of prepayments on the Mortgage Loans that exceed the Prepayment Assumption, and generally will decrease (but not below zero for any period) if the prepayments are slower than the Prepayment Assumption. Due to the unique nature of interest-only certificates, the preceding sentence may not apply in the case of the Class X-A or Class X-B certificates.

 

Acquisition Premium

 

A purchaser of a Regular Interest at a price greater than its adjusted issue price and less than its remaining stated redemption price at maturity will be required to include in gross income the daily portions of the original issue discount on the Regular Interest reduced pro rata by a fraction, the numerator of which is the excess of its purchase price over such adjusted issue price and the denominator of which is the excess of the remaining stated redemption price at maturity over the adjusted issue price. Alternatively, such a purchaser may elect to treat all such acquisition premium under the constant yield method, as described under the heading “—Election To Treat All Interest Under the Constant Yield Method” below.

 

Market Discount

 

A purchaser of a Regular Interest also may be subject to the market discount rules of Code Sections 1276 through 1278. Under these Code sections and the principles applied by the OID Regulations in the context of original issue discount, “market discount” is the amount by which the purchaser’s original basis in the Regular Interest (i) is exceeded by the remaining outstanding principal payments and non-qualified stated interest payments due on the Regular Interest, or (ii) in the case of a Regular Interest having original issue discount, is exceeded by the adjusted issue price of such Regular Interest at the time of purchase. Such purchaser generally will be required to recognize ordinary income to the extent of accrued market discount on such Regular Interest as distributions includible in its stated redemption price at maturity are received, in an amount not exceeding any such distribution. Such market discount would accrue in a manner to be provided in Treasury regulations and should take into account the Prepayment Assumption. The Conference Committee Report to the 1986 Act provides that until such regulations are issued, such market discount would accrue, at the election of the holder, either (i) on the basis of a constant interest rate or (ii) in the ratio of interest accrued for the relevant period to the sum of the interest accrued for such period plus the remaining interest after the end of such period, or, in the case of classes issued with original issue discount, in the ratio of original issue discount accrued for the relevant period to the sum of the original issue discount accrued for such period plus the remaining original issue discount after the end of such period. Such purchaser also generally will be required to treat a portion of any gain on a sale or exchange of the Regular Interest as ordinary income to the extent of the market discount accrued to the date of disposition under one of the foregoing methods, less any accrued market discount previously reported as ordinary income as partial distributions in reduction of the stated redemption price at maturity were received. Such purchaser will be required to defer deduction of a portion of the excess of the interest paid or accrued on indebtedness incurred to purchase or carry the Regular Interest over the interest (including original issue discount) distributable on the Regular Interest. The deferred portion of such interest expense in any taxable year generally will not exceed the accrued market discount on the Regular Interest for such year. Any such deferred interest expense is, in general, allowed as a deduction not later than the year in which the related market discount income

 

 622

 

 

is recognized or the Regular Interest is disposed of. As an alternative to the inclusion of market discount in income on the foregoing basis, the Regular Interestholder may elect to include market discount in income currently as it accrues on all market discount instruments acquired by such Regular Interestholder in that taxable year or thereafter, in which case the interest deferral rule will not apply. See “—Election To Treat All Interest Under the Constant Yield Method” below regarding making the election under Code Section 171 and an alternative manner in which such election may be deemed to be made.

 

Market discount with respect to a Regular Interest will be considered to be zero if such market discount is less than 0.25% of the remaining stated redemption price at maturity of such Regular Interest multiplied by the weighted average maturity of the Regular Interest remaining after the date of purchase. For this purpose, the weighted average maturity is determined by multiplying the number of full years (i.e., rounding down partial years) from the issue date until each distribution in reduction of stated redemption price at maturity is scheduled to be made by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of each such distribution included in the stated redemption price at maturity of the Regular Interest and the denominator of which is the total stated redemption price at maturity of the Regular Interest. It appears that de minimis market discount would be reported pro rata as principal payments are received. Treasury regulations implementing the market discount rules have not yet been proposed, and investors should therefore consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of these rules as well as the advisability of making any of the elections with respect to such rules. Investors should also consult Revenue Procedure 92-67 concerning the elections to include market discount in income currently and to accrue market discount on the basis of the constant yield method.

 

Premium

 

A Regular Interest purchased upon initial issuance or in the secondary market at a cost greater than its remaining stated redemption price at maturity generally is considered to be purchased at a premium. If the Regular Interestholder holds such Regular Interest as a “capital asset” within the meaning of Code Section 1221, the Regular Interestholder may elect under Code Section 171 to amortize such premium under the constant yield method. See “—Election To Treat All Interest Under the Constant Yield Method” below regarding making the election under Code Section 171 and an alternative manner in which the Code Section 171 election may be deemed to be made. Final Treasury regulations under Code Section 171 do not, by their terms, apply to prepayable obligations such as the Regular Interests. The Conference Committee Report to the 1986 Act indicates a Congressional intent that the same rules that will apply to the accrual of market discount on installment obligations will also apply to amortizing bond premium under Code Section 171 on installment obligations such as the Regular Interests, although it is unclear whether the alternatives to the constant interest method described above under “—Market Discount” are available. Amortizable bond premium will be treated as an offset to interest income on a Regular Interest rather than as a separate deduction item. It is anticipated that the [__] certificates will be issued at a premium for federal income tax purposes.

 

Election To Treat All Interest Under the Constant Yield Method

 

A holder of a debt instrument such as a Regular Interest may elect to treat all interest that accrues on the instrument using the constant yield method, with none of the interest being treated as qualified stated interest. For purposes of applying the constant yield method to a debt instrument subject to such an election, (i) “interest” includes stated interest, original issue discount, de minimis original issue discount, market discount and de minimis market discount, as adjusted by any amortizable bond premium or acquisition

 

 623

 

 

premium and (ii) the debt instrument is treated as if the instrument were issued on the holder’s acquisition date in the amount of the holder’s adjusted basis immediately after acquisition. It is unclear whether, for this purpose, the initial Prepayment Assumption would continue to apply or if a new prepayment assumption as of the date of the holder’s acquisition would apply. A holder generally may make such an election on an instrument by instrument basis or for a class or group of debt instruments. However, if the holder makes such an election with respect to a debt instrument with amortizable bond premium or with market discount, the holder is deemed to have made elections to amortize bond premium or to report market discount income currently as it accrues under the constant yield method, respectively, for all premium bonds held or acquired or market discount bonds acquired by the holder on the first day of the year of the election or thereafter. The election is made on the holder’s federal income tax return for the year in which the debt instrument is acquired and is irrevocable except with the approval of the IRS. Investors are encouraged to consult their tax advisors regarding the advisability of making such an election.

 

Treatment of Losses

 

Holders of the Regular Interests will be required to report income with respect to the Regular Interests on the accrual method of accounting, without giving effect to delays or reductions in distributions attributable to defaults or delinquencies on the Mortgage Loans, except to the extent it can be established that such losses are uncollectible. Accordingly, a Regular Interestholder may have income, or may incur a diminution in cash flow as a result of a default or delinquency, but may not be able to take a deduction (subject to the discussion below) for the corresponding loss until a subsequent taxable year. In this regard, investors are cautioned that while they generally may cease to accrue interest income if it reasonably appears that the interest will be uncollectible, the IRS may take the position that original issue discount must continue to be accrued in spite of its uncollectibility until the debt instrument is disposed of in a taxable transaction or becomes worthless in accordance with the rules of Code Section 166. The following discussion does not apply to holders of Class X Certificates. Under Code Section 166, it appears that the holders of Regular Interests that are corporations or that otherwise hold the Regular Interests in connection with a trade or business should in general be allowed to deduct as an ordinary loss any such loss sustained (and not previously deducted) during the taxable year on account of any such Regular Interests becoming wholly or partially worthless, and that, in general, the Regular Interestholders that are not corporations and do not hold the Regular Interests in connection with a trade or business will be allowed to deduct as a short term capital loss any loss with respect to principal sustained during the taxable year on account of such Regular Interests becoming wholly worthless. Although the matter is not free from doubt, such non-corporate holders of Regular Interests should be allowed a bad debt deduction at such time as the certificate balance of any class of such Regular Interests is reduced to reflect losses on the Mortgage Loans below such holder’s basis in the Regular Interests. The IRS, however, could take the position that non-corporate holders will be allowed a bad debt deduction to reflect such losses only after the classes of Regular Interests have been otherwise retired. The IRS could also assert that losses on a class of Regular Interests are deductible based on some other method that may defer such deductions for all holders, such as reducing future cash flow for purposes of computing original issue discount. This may have the effect of creating “negative” original issue discount that, with the possible exception of the method discussed in the following sentence, would be deductible only against future positive original issue discount or otherwise upon termination of the applicable class. Although not free from doubt, a holder of Regular Interests with negative original issue discount may be entitled to deduct a loss to the extent that its remaining basis would exceed the maximum amount of future payments to which such holder was entitled, assuming no further prepayments. No bad debt losses

will be allowed with respect to the Class X Certificates. Regular Interestholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the appropriate timing, amount and character of any loss sustained with respect to such Regular Interests. Special loss rules are applicable to banks and thrift institutions, including rules regarding reserves for bad debts. Such taxpayers are advised to consult their tax advisors regarding the treatment of losses on the Regular Interests.

 

Yield Maintenance Charges and Prepayment Premiums

 

Yield Maintenance Charges and Prepayment Premiums actually collected on the Mortgage Loans will be distributed as described in “Description of the Certificates—Allocation of Yield Maintenance Charges and Prepayment Premiums”. It is not entirely clear under the Code when the amount of Yield Maintenance Charges and Prepayment Premiums so allocated should be taxed to the holders of such classes of certificates, but it is not expected, for federal income tax reporting purposes, that Yield Maintenance Charges and Prepayment Premiums will be treated as giving rise to any income to the holder of such class of certificates prior to the certificate administrator’s actual receipt of Yield Maintenance Charges and Prepayment Premiums. Yield Maintenance Charges and Prepayment Premiums, if any, may be treated as paid upon the retirement or partial retirement of such classes of certificates. The IRS may disagree with these positions. Certificateholders should consult their own tax advisors concerning the treatment of Yield Maintenance Charges and Prepayment Premiums.

 

Sale or Exchange of Regular Interests

 

If a Regular Interestholder sells or exchanges a Regular Interest, such Regular Interestholder will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference, if any, between the amount received and its adjusted basis in the Regular Interest. The adjusted basis of a Regular Interest generally will equal the cost of the Regular Interest to the seller, increased by any original issue discount or market discount previously included in the seller’s gross income with respect to the Regular Interest and reduced by amounts included in the stated redemption price at maturity of the Regular Interest that were previously received by the seller, by any amortized premium, and by any deductible losses on the Regular Interest.

 

Except as described above with respect to market discount, and except as provided in this paragraph, any gain or loss on the sale or exchange of a Regular Interest realized by an investor that holds the Regular Interest as a capital asset will be capital gain or loss and will be long term or short term depending on whether the Regular Interest has been held for the long term capital gain holding period (more than one year). Such gain will be treated as ordinary income: (i) if the Regular Interest is held as part of a “conversion transaction” as defined in Code Section 1258(c), up to the amount of interest that would have accrued on the Regular Interestholder’s net investment in the conversion transaction at 120% of the appropriate applicable federal rate under Code Section 1274(d) in effect at the time the taxpayer entered into the transaction minus any amount previously treated as ordinary income with respect to any prior disposition of property that was held as part of such transaction; (ii) in the case of a non-corporate taxpayer, to the extent such taxpayer has made an election under Code Section 163(d)(4) to have net capital gains taxed as investment income at ordinary income rates; or (iii) to the extent that such gain does not exceed the excess, if any, of (a) the amount that would have been includible in the gross income of the Regular Interestholder if his yield on such Regular Interest were 110% of the applicable federal rate as of the date of purchase, over (b) the amount of income actually includible in the gross income of such Regular Interestholder with respect to the Regular Interest. In addition, gain or loss recognized from the sale of a Regular Interest by certain

 

 625

 

 

banks or thrift institutions will be treated as ordinary income or loss pursuant to Code Section 582(c). Long-term capital gains of certain non-corporate taxpayers generally are subject to a lower maximum tax rate than ordinary income of such taxpayers for property held for more than one year. The maximum tax rate for corporations is the same with respect to both ordinary income and capital gains.

 

Taxes That May Be Imposed on a REMIC

 

Prohibited Transactions

 

Income from certain transactions by either Trust REMIC, called prohibited transactions, will not be part of the calculation of income or loss includible in the federal income tax returns of holders of the Class R certificates, but rather will be taxed directly to the Trust REMIC at a 100% rate. Prohibited transactions generally include (i) the disposition of a qualified mortgage other than for (a) substitution within two years of the Startup Day for a defective (including a defaulted) obligation (or repurchase in lieu of substitution of a defective (including a defaulted) obligation at any time) or for any qualified mortgage within 3 months of the Startup Day, (b) foreclosure, default or imminent default of a qualified mortgage, (c) bankruptcy or insolvency of the REMIC, or (d) a qualified (complete) liquidation, (ii) the receipt of income from assets that are not the type of mortgages or investments that the REMIC is permitted to hold, (iii) the receipt of compensation for services or (iv) the receipt of gain from disposition of cash flow investments other than pursuant to a qualified liquidation. Notwithstanding (i) and (iv), it is not a prohibited transaction to sell REMIC property to prevent a default on regular interests as a result of a default on qualified mortgages or to facilitate a qualified liquidation or a clean-up call. The REMIC Regulations indicate that the modification of a mortgage loan generally will not be treated as a disposition if it is occasioned by a default or reasonably foreseeable default, an assumption of a mortgage loan or the waiver of a “due-on-sale” or “due-on-encumbrance” clause. It is not anticipated that the Trust REMICs will engage in any prohibited transactions.

 

Contributions to a REMIC After the Startup Day

 

In general, a REMIC will be subject to a tax at a 100% rate on the value of any property contributed to the REMIC after the Startup Day. Exceptions are provided for cash contributions to the REMIC (i) during the 3 months following the Startup Day, (ii) made to a qualified reserve fund by a holder of a Class R certificate, (iii) in the nature of a guarantee, (iv) made to facilitate a qualified liquidation or clean-up call, and (v) as otherwise permitted in Treasury regulations yet to be issued. It is not anticipated that there will be any taxable contributions to the Trust REMICs.

 

Net Income from Foreclosure Property

 

The Lower-Tier REMIC will be subject to federal income tax at the highest corporate rate on “net income from foreclosure property”, determined by reference to the rules applicable to real estate investment trusts. Generally, property acquired by foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure would be treated as “foreclosure property” until the close of the third calendar year beginning after the Lower-Tier REMIC’s acquisition of an REO Property, with a possible extension. Net income from foreclosure property generally means gain from the sale of a foreclosure property that is inventory property and gross income from foreclosure property other than qualifying rents and other qualifying income for a real estate investment trust.

 

In order for a foreclosed property to qualify as foreclosure property, any operation of the foreclosed property by the Lower-Tier REMIC generally must be conducted through an

 

 626

 

 

independent contractor. Further, such operation, even if conducted through an independent contractor, may give rise to “net income from foreclosure property”, taxable at the highest corporate rate. Payment of such tax by the Lower-Tier REMIC would reduce amounts available for distribution to Certificateholders.

 

The special servicer will be required to determine generally whether the operation of foreclosed property in a manner that would subject the Lower-Tier REMIC to such tax would be expected to result in higher after-tax proceeds than an alternative method of operating such property that would not subject the Lower-Tier REMIC to such tax.

 

Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015

 

The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 (the “2015 Budget Act”), which was enacted on November 2, 2015, includes new audit rules affecting entities treated as partnerships, their partners and the persons that are authorized to represent entities treated as partnerships in IRS audits and related procedures. Under the 2015 Budget Act, these rules will also apply to REMICs, the holders of their residual interests and the trustees authorized to represent REMICs in IRS audits and related procedures (“tax matters persons” or “TMPs”). These new audit rules are scheduled to become effective for taxable years beginning with 2018 and will apply to both new and existing REMICs.

 

In addition to other changes, under the 2015 Budget Act, (1) unless a REMIC elects otherwise, taxes arising from IRS audit adjustments are required to be paid by the REMIC rather than by its residual interest holders, (2) a REMIC appoints one person to act as its sole representative in connection with IRS audits and related procedures and that representative’s actions, including agreeing to adjustments to REMIC taxable income, will be binding on residual interest holders more so than a tax matters person’s actions under the current rules and (3) if the IRS makes an adjustment to a REMIC’s taxable year, the holders of residual interests for the audited taxable year may have to take the adjustment into account for the taxable year in which the adjustment is made rather than for the audited taxable year.

 

The certificate administrator will have the authority to utilize, and will be directed to utilize, any exceptions available under the new provisions (including any changes) and IRS regulations so that holders of the Class R certificates, to the fullest extent possible, rather than either Trust REMIC itself, will be liable for any taxes arising from audit adjustments to either Trust REMIC’s taxable income. It is unclear how any such exceptions may affect the procedural rules available to challenge any audit adjustment that would otherwise be available in the absence of any such exceptions. Investors should discuss with their own tax advisors the possible effect of the new rules on them.

 

Taxation of Certain Foreign Investors

 

Interest, including original issue discount, distributable to the Regular Interestholders that are nonresident aliens, foreign corporations or other Non-U.S. Persons will be considered “portfolio interest” and, therefore, generally will not be subject to a 30% United States withholding tax; provided that such Non-U.S. Person (i) is not a “10 percent shareholder” within the meaning of Code Section 871(h)(3)(B) or a controlled foreign corporation described in Code Section 881(c)(3)(C) with respect to the Trust REMICs and (ii) provides the certificate administrator, or the person that would otherwise be required to withhold tax from such distributions under Code Section 1441 or 1442, with an appropriate statement, signed under penalties of perjury, identifying the beneficial owner and stating, among other things, that the beneficial owner of the Regular Interest is a Non-U.S. Person. The appropriate documentation includes IRS Form W-8BEN-E or W-8BEN, if the Non-U.S.

 

 627

 

 

Person is an entity (such as a corporation) or individual, respectively, eligible for the benefits of the portfolio interest exemption or an exemption based on a treaty; IRS Form W-8ECI if the Non-U.S. Person is eligible for an exemption on the basis of its income from the Regular Interest being effectively connected to a United States trade or business; IRS Form W-8BEN-E or W-8IMY if the Non-U.S. Person is a trust, depending on whether such trust is classified as the beneficial owner of the Regular Interest; and Form W-8IMY, with supporting documentation as specified in the Treasury regulations, required to substantiate exemptions from withholding on behalf of its partners, if the Non-U.S. Person is a partnership. With respect to IRS Forms W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8IMY and W-8ECI, each (other than IRS Form W-8IMY) expires after 3 full calendar years or as otherwise provided by applicable law. An intermediary (other than a partnership) must provide IRS Form W-8IMY, revealing all required information, including its name, address, taxpayer identification number, the country under the laws of which it is created, and certification that it is not acting for its own account. A “qualified intermediary” must certify that it has provided, or will provide, a withholding statement as required under Treasury regulations Section 1.1441-1(e)(5)(v), but need not disclose the identity of its account holders on its IRS Form W-8IMY, and may certify its account holders’ status without including each beneficial owner’s certification. A “non-qualified intermediary” must additionally certify that it has provided, or will provide, a withholding statement that is associated with the appropriate IRS Forms W-8 and W-9 required to substantiate exemptions from withholding on behalf of its beneficial owners. The term “intermediary” means a person acting as a custodian, a broker, nominee or otherwise as an agent for the beneficial owner of a Regular Interest. A “qualified intermediary” is generally a foreign financial institution or clearing organization or a non-U.S. branch or office of a U.S. financial institution or clearing organization that is a party to a withholding agreement with the IRS.

 

If such statement, or any other required statement, is not provided, 30% withholding will apply unless reduced or eliminated pursuant to an applicable tax treaty or unless the interest on the Regular Interest is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States by such Non-U.S. Person. In the latter case, such Non-U.S. Person will be subject to United States federal income tax at regular rates. Investors that are Non-U.S. Persons should consult their own tax advisors regarding the specific tax consequences to them of owning a Regular Interest.

 

A “U.S. Person” is a citizen or resident of the United States, a corporation, partnership (except to the extent provided in the applicable Treasury regulations) or other entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any State or the District of Columbia, including any entity treated as a corporation or partnership for federal income tax purposes, an estate that is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of the source of income, or a trust if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of such trust, and one or more such U.S. Persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of such trust (or, to the extent provided in the applicable Treasury regulations, certain trusts in existence on August 20, 1996 that have elected to be treated as U.S. Persons). The term “Non-U.S. Person” means a person other than a U.S. Person.

 

FATCA

 

Under the “Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act” (“FATCA”) provisions of the Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment Act, a 30% withholding tax is generally imposed on certain payments, including U.S.-source interest and, beginning on January 1, 2019, gross proceeds from the disposition of debt obligations that give rise to U.S.-source interest to “foreign financial institutions” and certain other foreign financial entities if those foreign

 

 628

 

 

entities fail to comply with the requirements of FATCA. The certificate administrator will be required to withhold amounts under FATCA on payments made to holders who are subject to the FATCA requirements and who fail to provide the certificate administrator with proof that they have complied with such requirements. Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the applicability of FATCA to their certificates.

 

Backup Withholding

 

Distributions made on the certificates, and proceeds from the sale of the certificates to or through certain brokers, may be subject to a “backup” withholding tax under Code Section 3406 at the rate of 28% on “reportable payments” (including interest distributions, original issue discount and, under certain circumstances, principal distributions) unless the Certificateholder is a U.S. Person and provides IRS Form W-9 with the correct taxpayer identification number; in the case of the Regular Interests, is a Non-U.S. Person and provides IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, identifying the Non-U.S. Person and stating that the beneficial owner is not a U.S. Person; or can be treated as an exempt recipient within the meaning of Treasury regulations Section 1.6049-4(c)(1)(ii). Any amounts to be withheld from distribution on the certificates would be refunded by the IRS or allowed as a credit against the Certificateholder’s federal income tax liability. Information reporting requirements may also apply regardless of whether withholding is required. Holders are urged to contact their own tax advisors regarding the application to them of backup withholding and information reporting.

 

Information Reporting

 

Holders who are individuals (and certain domestic entities that are formed or availed of for purposes of holding, directly or indirectly, “specified foreign financial assets”) may be subject to certain foreign financial asset reporting obligations with respect to their certificates held through a financial account maintained by a foreign financial institution if the aggregate value of their certificates and their other “specified foreign financial assets” exceeds $50,000. Significant penalties can apply if a holder fails to disclose its specified foreign financial assets. We urge you to consult your tax advisor with respect to this and other reporting obligations with respect to your certificates.

 

3.8% Medicare Tax on “Net Investment Income”

 

Certain non-corporate U.S. holders will be subject to an additional 3.8% tax on all or a portion of their “net investment income”, which may include the interest payments and any gain realized with respect to the certificates, to the extent of their net investment income that, when added to their other modified adjusted gross income, exceeds $200,000 for an unmarried individual, $250,000 for a married taxpayer filing a joint return (or a surviving spouse), or $125,000 for a married individual filing a separate return. The 3.8% Medicare tax is determined in a different manner than the regular income tax. U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors with respect to their consequences with respect to the 3.8% Medicare tax.

 

Reporting Requirements

 

Each Trust REMIC will be required to maintain its books on a calendar year basis and to file federal income tax returns in a manner similar to a partnership. The form for such returns is IRS Form 1066, U.S. Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit (REMIC) Income Tax Return. The trustee will be required to sign each Trust REMIC’s returns.

 

 629

 

 

Reports of accrued interest, original issue discount, if any, and information necessary to compute the accrual of any market discount on the Regular Interests will be made annually to the IRS and to individuals, estates, non-exempt and non-charitable trusts, and partnerships that are either Regular Interestholders or beneficial owners that own Regular Interests through a broker or middleman as nominee. All brokers, nominees and all other nonexempt Regular Interestholders (including corporations, non-calendar year taxpayers, securities or commodities dealers, placement agents, real estate investment trusts, investment companies, common trusts, thrift institutions and charitable trusts) may request such information for any calendar quarter by telephone or in writing by contacting the person designated in IRS Publication 938 with respect to the REMIC. Holders through nominees must request such information from the nominee.

 

Treasury regulations require that, in addition to the foregoing requirements, information must be furnished annually to the Regular Interestholders and filed annually with the IRS concerning the percentage of each Trust REMIC’s assets meeting the qualified asset tests described under “—Qualification as a REMIC” above.

 

In addition, the Grantor Trust may be subject to Treasury regulations providing specific reporting rules for “widely-held fixed investment trusts”. Under these regulations, the certificate administrator will be required to file IRS Form 1099 (or any successor form) with the IRS with respect to holders of Class Z certificates who are not “exempt recipients” (a term that includes corporations, trusts, securities dealers, middlemen and certain other non-individuals) and do not hold such certificates through a middleman, to report the issuing entity’s gross income and, in certain circumstances, unless the certificate administrator reports under the safe harbor as described in the last sentence of this paragraph, if any assets of the issuing entity were disposed of or certificates are sold in secondary market sales, the portion of the gross proceeds relating to the assets of the issuing entity that are attributable to such holder. The same requirements would be imposed on middlemen holding such certificates on behalf of the related holders. Under certain circumstances, the certificate administrator may report under the safe harbor for widely-held mortgage trusts, as such term is defined under Treasury regulations Section 1.671-5.

 

These regulations also require that the certificate administrator make available information regarding interest income and information necessary to compute any original issue discount to (i) exempt recipients (including middlemen) and non-calendar year taxpayers, upon request, in accordance with the requirements of the regulations and (ii) Certificateholders who do not hold their certificates through a middleman. The information must be provided to parties specified in clause (i) on or before the later of the 30th day after the close of the calendar year to which the request relates and 14 days after the receipt of the request. The information must be provided to parties specified in clause (ii) on or before March 15 of the calendar year for which the statement is being furnished.

 

DUE TO THE COMPLEXITY OF THESE RULES AND THE CURRENT UNCERTAINTY AS TO THE MANNER OF THEIR APPLICATION TO THE ISSUING ENTITY AND CERTIFICATEHOLDERS, IT IS PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT THAT POTENTIAL INVESTORS CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE TAX TREATMENT OF THEIR ACQUISITION, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF THE CERTIFICATES.

 

 630

 

 

Certain State and Local Tax Considerations

 

In addition to the federal income tax consequences described in “Material Federal Income Tax Considerations” above, purchasers of Offered Certificates should consider the state and local income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of the Offered Certificates. State and local income tax law may differ substantially from the corresponding federal law, and this discussion does not purport to describe any aspect of the income tax laws of any state or locality.

 

It is possible that one or more jurisdictions may attempt to tax nonresident holders of offered certificates solely by reason of the location in that jurisdiction of the depositor, the trustee, the certificate administrator, the sponsors, a related borrower or a mortgaged property or on some other basis, may require nonresident holders of certificates to file returns in such jurisdiction or may attempt to impose penalties for failure to file such returns; and it is possible that any such jurisdiction will ultimately succeed in collecting such taxes or penalties from nonresident holders of offered certificates. We cannot assure you that holders of offered certificates will not be subject to tax in any particular state, local or other taxing jurisdiction.

 

You should consult with your tax advisor with respect to the various state and local, and any other, tax consequences of an investment in the Offered Certificates.

 

Method of Distribution (Underwriter)

 

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”), among the depositor and the underwriters, the depositor has agreed to sell to the underwriters, and the underwriters have severally, but not jointly, agreed to purchase from the depositor the respective Certificate Balance or the Notional Amount, as applicable, of each class of Offered Certificates set forth below subject in each case to a variance of 5% (the sum of any column of the below table may not equal the indicated total due to rounding).

The Underwriting Agreement provides that the obligations of the underwriters will be subject to certain conditions precedent and that the underwriters will be obligated to

 

 631

 

 

purchase all Offered Certificates if any are purchased. In the event of a default by any underwriter, the Underwriting Agreement provides that, in certain circumstances, purchase commitments of the non-defaulting underwriter(s) may be increased or the Underwriting Agreement may be terminated.

 

Additionally, the parties to the PSA have severally agreed to indemnify the underwriters, and the underwriters have agreed to indemnify the depositor and controlling persons of the depositor, against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and have agreed, if required, to contribute to payments required to be made in respect of these liabilities.

 

The depositor has been advised by the underwriters that they propose to offer the Offered Certificates to the public from time to time in one or more negotiated transactions, or otherwise, at varying prices to be determined at the time of sale. Proceeds to the depositor from the sale of Offered Certificates will be approximately [__]% of the initial aggregate Certificate Balance of the Offered Certificates, plus accrued interest on the Offered Certificates from November 1, 2017, before deducting expenses payable by the depositor (estimated at $[__], excluding underwriting discounts and commissions). The underwriters may affect the transactions by selling the Offered Certificates to or through dealers, and the dealers may receive compensation in the form of underwriting discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters. In connection with the purchase and sale of the Offered Certificates offered by this prospectus, the underwriters may be deemed to have received compensation from the depositor in the form of underwriting discounts.

 

We anticipate that the Offered Certificates will be sold primarily to institutional investors. Purchasers of Offered Certificates, including dealers, may, depending on the facts and circumstances of those purchases, be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with reoffers and resales by them of Offered Certificates. If you purchase Offered Certificates, you should consult with your legal advisors in this regard prior to any reoffer or resale. The underwriters expect to make, but are not obligated to make, a secondary market in the Offered Certificates. See “Risk Factors—Other Risks Relating to the Certificates—The Certificates May Have Limited Liquidity and the Market Value of the Certificates May Decline”.

 

The primary source of ongoing information available to investors concerning the Offered Certificates will be the monthly statements discussed under “Description of the Certificates—Reports to Certificateholders; Certain Available Information”. We cannot assure you that any additional information regarding the Offered Certificates will be available through any other source. In addition, we are not aware of any source through which price information about the Offered Certificates will be generally available on an ongoing basis. The limited nature of that information regarding the Offered Certificates may adversely affect the liquidity of the Offered Certificates, even if a secondary market for the Offered Certificates becomes available.

 

UBS Securities LLC, one of the underwriters, is an affiliate of UBS AG, New York Branch, which is a sponsor, an originator, a mortgage loan seller, an affiliate of the depositor and the holder of certain of the Burbank Office Portfolio Pari Passu Companion Loans, the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Pari Passu Companion Loans, the Griffin Portfolio Pari Passu Companion Loans, the Bass Pro & Cabela’s Portfolio Pari Passu Companion Loans and the At Home Portfolio Pari Passu Companion Loan.

 

A portion of the net proceeds of this offering (after the payment of underwriting compensation and transaction expenses) is intended to be directed to affiliates of UBS Securities LLC, which is one of the underwriters, a co-lead manager and joint bookrunner

 

 632

 

 

for this offering, affiliates of Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., which is one of the underwriters and a co-lead manager and joint bookrunner for this offering, affiliates of SG Americas Securities, LLC, which is one of the underwriters and a co-lead manager and joint bookrunner for this offering, and affiliates of Natixis Securities Americas LLC, which is one of the underwriters and a joint bookrunner and co-manager for this offering. That direction will occur by means of the collective effect of the payment by the underwriters to the depositor, an affiliate of UBS Securities LLC, of the purchase price for the Offered Certificates and the following payments:

 

(1)the payment by the depositor to UBS AG, New York Branch, an affiliate of UBS Securities LLC, in that affiliate’s capacity as a mortgage loan seller, of the purchase price for the Mortgage Loans to be sold to the depositor by UBS AG, New York Branch;

 

(2)the payment by the depositor to CCRE Lending, an affiliate of Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., in that affiliate’s capacity as a mortgage loan seller, of the purchase price for the Mortgage Loans to be sold to the depositor by CCRE Lending.

 

(3)the payment by the depositor to Société Générale, an affiliate of SG Americas Securities, LLC, in that affiliate’s capacity as a mortgage loan seller, of the purchase price for the Mortgage Loans to be sold to the depositor by Société Générale; and

 

(4)the payment by the depositor to NREC, an affiliate of Natixis Securities Americas LLC, in that affiliate’s capacity as a mortgage loan seller, of the purchase price for the Mortgage Loans to be sold to the depositor by NREC.

 

As a result of the circumstances described above in this paragraph and the prior paragraph, each of UBS Securities LLC, Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., SG Americas Securities, LLC and Natixis Securities Americas LLC have a “conflict of interest” within the meaning of Rule 5121 of the consolidated rules of The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. In addition, other circumstances exist that result in the underwriters or their affiliates having conflicts of interest, notwithstanding that such circumstances may not constitute a “conflict of interest” within the meaning of such Rule 5121. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Conflicts of Interest—Interests and Incentives of the Underwriter Entities May Not Be Aligned With Your Interests” and “Certain Affiliations, Relationships and Related Transactions Involving Transaction Parties”.

 

In relation to each Relevant Member State, each underwriter has represented and agreed that, with effect from and including the date on which the Prospectus Directive is implemented in that Relevant Member State, it has not made and will not make an offer of the Offered Certificates which are the subject of the offering contemplated by this prospectus (and any supplement hereto) to the public in that Relevant Member State other than:

 

(a)   to any legal entity which is a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Directive;

 

(b)   to fewer than 150 natural or legal persons (other than qualified investors as defined in the Prospectus Directive) subject to obtaining the prior consent of the relevant underwriter or underwriters nominated by the depositor for any such offer; or

 

(c)   in any other circumstances falling within Article 3(2) of the Prospectus Directive;

 

 633

 

 

provided that no such offer of the Offered Certificates will require the depositor, the issuing entity or any underwriter to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive.

 

For the purposes of this provision, the expression an “offer of the Offered Certificates to the public” in relation to any Offered Certificates in any Relevant Member State means the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the Offered Certificates to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe to the Offered Certificates, as the same may be varied in that Relevant Member State by any measure implementing the Prospectus Directive in that Relevant Member State, and the expression “Prospectus Directive” means Directive 2003/71/EC (as amended, including by Directive 2010/73/EU), and includes any relevant implementing measure in the Relevant Member State.

 

Each underwriter has represented and agreed that:

 

(a) it has only communicated or caused to be communicated and will only communicate or cause to be communicated an invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity (within the meaning of Section 21 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (“FSMA”) received by it in connection with the issue or sale of the Offered Certificates in circumstances in which Section 21(1) of the FSMA does not apply to the issuing entity or the depositor; and

 

(b) it has complied and will comply with all applicable provisions of the FSMA with respect to anything done by it in relation to the Offered Certificates in, from or otherwise involving the United Kingdom.

 

Incorporation of Certain Information by Reference

 

All reports filed or caused to be filed by the depositor with respect to the issuing entity before the termination of this offering pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that relate to the Offered Certificates (other than Annual Reports on Form 10-K) will be deemed to be incorporated by reference into this prospectus, except that if a Non-Serviced PSA is entered into after termination of this offering, any Current Report on Form 8-K filed after termination of this offering that includes as an exhibit such Non-Serviced PSA will be deemed to be incorporated by reference into this prospectus.

The depositor has filed a Registration Statement on Form SF-3 (SEC File No. 333-207340) (the “Registration Statement”) relating to multiple series of CMBS, including the Offered Certificates, with the SEC. This prospectus will form a part of the Registration Statement, but the Registration Statement includes additional information. Copies of the Registration Statement and other materials filed with or furnished to the SEC, including Distribution Reports on Form 10-D, Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Current Reports on Form 8-K, Forms ABS-15G, and any amendments to these reports may be read and copied at the Public Reference Section of the SEC, 100 F Street N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549, on official business days between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. Information regarding the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC also maintains an internet site at “http://www.sec.gov” at which you can view and download copies of reports, proxy and information statements and other information filed or furnished electronically through the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval (“EDGAR”) system. The SEC maintains computer terminals providing access to the EDGAR system at each of the offices referred to above.

 

The depositor has met the registrant requirements of Section I.A.1. of the General Instructions to the Registration Statement.

 

Copies of all reports of the issuing entity on Forms ABS-EE, 10-D, 10-K and 8-K will also be made available on the website of the certificate administrator as soon as reasonably practicable after these materials are electronically filed with or furnished to the SEC through the EDGAR system.

 

Financial Information

 

The issuing entity will be newly formed and will not have engaged in any business activities or have any assets or obligations prior to the issuance of the Offered Certificates. Accordingly, no financial statements with respect to the issuing entity are included in this prospectus.

 

The depositor has determined that its financial statements will not be material to the offering of the Offered Certificates.

 

Certain ERISA Considerations

 

General

 

The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or ERISA, and Code Section 4975 impose certain requirements on retirement plans, and on certain other employee benefit plans and arrangements, including individual retirement accounts and annuities, Keogh plans, collective investment funds, insurance company separate accounts and some insurance company general accounts in which those plans, accounts or arrangements are invested that are subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA or Code Section 4975 (all of which are referred to as “Plans”), and on persons who are fiduciaries with respect to Plans, in connection with the investment of Plan assets. Certain employee benefit plans, such as governmental plans (as defined in ERISA Section 3(32)), and, if no election has been made under Code Section 410(d), church plans (as defined in Section 3(33) of ERISA) are not subject to ERISA requirements. However, those plans may be subject to the provisions of other applicable federal, state or local law (“Similar Law”) materially similar to the foregoing provisions of ERISA or the Code.

 

 635

 

 

Moreover, those plans, if qualified and exempt from taxation under Code Sections 401(a) and 501(a), are subject to the prohibited transaction rules set forth in Code Section 503.

 

ERISA generally imposes on Plan fiduciaries certain general fiduciary requirements, including those of investment prudence and diversification and the requirement that a Plan’s investments be made in accordance with the documents governing the Plan. In addition, ERISA and the Code prohibit a broad range of transactions involving assets of a Plan and persons (“Parties in Interest”) who have certain specified relationships to the Plan, unless a statutory, regulatory or administrative exemption is available. Certain Parties in Interest that participate in a prohibited transaction may be subject to an excise tax imposed pursuant to Code Section 4975, unless a statutory, regulatory or administrative exemption is available. These prohibited transactions generally are set forth in Section 406 of ERISA and Code Section 4975. Special caution should be exercised before the assets of a Plan are used to purchase an Offered Certificate if, with respect to those assets, the depositor, any servicer or the trustee or any of their affiliates, either: (a) has investment discretion with respect to the investment of those assets of that Plan; or (b) has authority or responsibility to give, or regularly gives, investment advice with respect to those assets for a fee and pursuant to an agreement or understanding that the advice will serve as a primary basis for investment decisions with respect to those assets and that the advice will be based on the particular investment needs of the Plan; or (c) is an employer maintaining or contributing to the Plan.

 

Before purchasing any Offered Certificates with Plan assets, a Plan fiduciary should consult with its counsel and determine whether there exists any prohibition to that purchase under the requirements of ERISA or Code Section 4975, whether any prohibited transaction class exemption or any individual administrative prohibited transaction exemption (as described below) applies, including whether the appropriate conditions set forth in those exemptions would be met, or whether any statutory prohibited transaction exemption is applicable. Fiduciaries of plans subject to a Similar Law should consider the need for, and the availability of, an exemption under such applicable Similar Law.

 

Plan Asset Regulations

 

A Plan’s investment in Offered Certificates may cause the assets of the issuing entity to be deemed Plan assets. Section 2510.3-101 of the regulations of the United States Department of Labor (“DOL”), as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA, provides that when a Plan acquires an equity interest in an entity, the Plan’s assets include both the equity interest and an undivided interest in each of the underlying assets of the entity, unless certain exceptions not applicable to this discussion apply, or unless the equity participation in the entity by “benefit plan investors” (that is, Plans and entities whose underlying assets include plan assets) is not “significant”. For this purpose, in general, equity participation in an entity will be “significant” on any date if, immediately after the most recent acquisition of any certificate, 25% or more of any class of certificates is held by benefit plan investors.

 

In general, any person who has discretionary authority or control respecting the management or disposition of Plan assets, and any person who provides investment advice with respect to those assets for a fee, is a fiduciary of the investing Plan. If the assets of the issuing entity constitute Plan assets, then any party exercising management or discretionary control regarding those assets, such as the master servicer, the special servicer or any sub-servicer, may be deemed to be a Plan “fiduciary” with respect to the investing Plan, and thus subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions and prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA and Code Section 4975. In addition, if the assets of the issuing entity constitute Plan assets, the purchase of Offered Certificates by a Plan, as well

 

 636

 

 

as the operation of the issuing entity, may constitute or involve a prohibited transaction under ERISA or the Code.

 

Administrative Exemptions

 

The U.S. Department of Labor has issued to the predecessor of UBS Securities LLC, Prohibited Transaction Exemption (“PTE”) 91-22, 56 Fed. Reg. 15933 (April 18, 1991), as amended by PTE 2013-08, 78 Fed. Reg. 41090 (July 9, 2013) (the “Exemption”). The Exemption generally exempts from the application of the prohibited transaction provisions of Sections 406 and 407 of ERISA, and the excise taxes imposed on prohibited transactions pursuant to Code Sections 4975(a) and (b), certain transactions, among others, relating to the servicing and operation of pools of mortgage loans, such as the pool of mortgage loans held by the issuing entity, and the purchase, sale and holding of mortgage pass-through certificates, such as the Offered Certificates, underwritten by UBS Securities LLC, provided that certain conditions set forth in the Exemption are satisfied. The depositor expects that the Exemption generally will apply to the Offered Certificates.

 

The Exemption sets forth 5 general conditions that must be satisfied for a transaction involving the purchase, sale and holding of the Offered Certificates to be eligible for exemptive relief. First, the acquisition of the Offered Certificates by a Plan must be on terms (including the price paid for the Offered Certificates) that are at least as favorable to the Plan as they would be in an arm’s-length transaction with an unrelated party. Second, the Offered Certificates at the time of acquisition by the Plan must be rated in one of the four highest generic rating categories by at least one NRSRO that meets the requirements of the Exemption (an “Exemption Rating Agency”). Third, the trustee cannot be an affiliate of any other member of the Restricted Group other than an underwriter. The “Restricted Group” consists of any underwriter, the depositor, the trustee, the master servicer, the special servicer, any sub-servicer, any entity that provides insurance or other credit support to the issuing entity and any borrower with respect to mortgage loans constituting more than 5% of the aggregate unamortized principal balance of the mortgage loans as of the date of initial issuance of the Offered Certificates, and any affiliate of any of the foregoing entities. Fourth, the sum of all payments made to and retained by the underwriters must represent not more than reasonable compensation for underwriting the Offered Certificates, the sum of all payments made to and retained by the depositor pursuant to the assignment of the mortgage loans to the issuing entity must represent not more than the fair market value of the mortgage loans and the sum of all payments made to and retained by the master servicer, the special servicer and any sub-servicer must represent not more than reasonable compensation for that person’s services under the PSA and reimbursement of the person’s reasonable expenses in connection therewith. Fifth, the investing Plan must be an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a)(1) of Regulation D under the Securities Act.

 

It is a condition of the issuance of the Offered Certificates that they have the ratings described above required by the Exemption and the depositor believes that each of the Rating Agencies qualifies as an Exemption Rating Agency. Consequently, the second general condition set forth above will be satisfied with respect to the Offered Certificates as of the Closing Date. As of the Closing Date, the third general condition set forth above will be satisfied with respect to the Offered Certificates. In addition, the depositor believes that the fourth general condition set forth above will be satisfied with respect to the Offered Certificates. A fiduciary of a Plan contemplating purchasing an Offered Certificate in the secondary market must make its own determination that, at the time of purchase, the Offered Certificates continue to satisfy the second general condition set forth above. A fiduciary of a Plan contemplating purchasing an Offered Certificate, whether in the initial issuance of the Offered Certificates or in the secondary market, must make its own

 

 637

 

 

determination that the first and fifth general conditions set forth above will be satisfied with respect to the related Offered Certificate.

 

The Exemption also requires that the issuing entity meet the following requirements: (1) the issuing entity must consist solely of assets of the type that have been included in other investment pools; (2) certificates in those other investment pools must have been rated in one of the four highest categories by at least one of the Exemption Rating Agencies for at least one year prior to the Plan’s acquisition of Offered Certificates; and (3) certificates in those other investment pools must have been purchased by investors other than Plans for at least one year prior to any Plan’s acquisition of Offered Certificates.

 

The depositor believes that the conditions to the applicability of the Exemption will generally be met with respect to the Offered Certificates, other than those conditions which are dependent on facts unknown to the depositor or which it cannot control, such as those relating to the circumstances of the Plan purchaser or the Plan fiduciary making the decision to purchase any such Offered Certificates.

 

If the general conditions of the Exemption are satisfied, the Exemption may provide an exemption from the restrictions imposed by Sections 406(a) and 407(a) of ERISA (as well as the excise taxes imposed by Code Sections 4975(a) and (b) by reason of Code Sections 4975(c)(1)(A) through (D)) in connection with (1) the direct or indirect sale, exchange or transfer of Offered Certificates in the initial issuance of certificates between the depositor or the underwriters and a Plan when the depositor, any of the underwriters, the trustee, the master servicer, the special servicer, a sub-servicer or a borrower is a party in interest with respect to the investing Plan, (2) the direct or indirect acquisition or disposition in the secondary market of the Offered Certificates by a Plan and (3) the holding of Offered Certificates by a Plan. However, no exemption is provided from the restrictions of Sections 406(a)(1)(E), 406(a)(2) and 407 of ERISA for the acquisition or holding of an Offered Certificate on behalf of an “Excluded Plan” by any person who has discretionary authority or renders investment advice with respect to the assets of the Excluded Plan. For purposes of this prospectus, an “Excluded Plan” is a Plan sponsored by any member of the Restricted Group.

 

If certain specific conditions of the Exemption are also satisfied, the Exemption may provide an exemption from the restrictions imposed by Sections 406(b)(1) and (b)(2) of ERISA and the taxes imposed by Code Section 4975(c)(1)(E) in connection with (1) the direct or indirect sale, exchange or transfer of Offered Certificates in the initial issuance of certificates between the depositor or the underwriters and a Plan when the person who has discretionary authority or renders investment advice with respect to the investment of Plan assets in those certificates is (a) a borrower with respect to 5% or less of the fair market value of the mortgage loans or (b) an affiliate of that person, (2) the direct or indirect acquisition or disposition in the secondary market of Offered Certificates by a Plan and (3) the holding of Offered Certificates by a Plan.

 

Further, if certain specific conditions of the Exemption are satisfied, the Exemption may provide an exemption from the restrictions imposed by Sections 406(a), 406(b) and 407(a) of ERISA, and the taxes imposed by Code Sections 4975(a) and (b) by reason of Code Section 4975(c) for transactions in connection with the servicing, management and operation of the pool of mortgage loans.

 

A fiduciary of a Plan should consult with its counsel with respect to the applicability of the Exemption. The fiduciary of a plan not subject to ERISA or Code Section 4975, such as a governmental plan, should determine the need for and availability of exemptive relief under applicable Similar Law. In particular, Plan fiduciaries should note that one of the

 

 638

 

 

Mortgage Loans is secured by a Mortgaged Property located in the Cayman Islands. Fiduciaries should consult with their advisors regarding a Plan’s continued ability to hold Offered Certificates if the Mortgaged Property securing this Mortgage Loan were acquired by the issuing entity as a result of foreclosure or otherwise. A purchaser of an Offered Certificate should be aware, however, that even if the conditions specified in one or more exemptions are satisfied, the scope of relief provided by an exemption may not cover all acts which might be construed as prohibited transactions.

 

In addition, each beneficial owner of an Offered Certificate or any interest therein that is a Plan, including any fiduciary purchasing Offered Certificates on behalf of a Plan (“Plan Fiduciary”), will be deemed to have represented by its acquisition of such Offered Certificates that:

 

(1) none of the depositor, any of the underwriters, the trustee, the certificate administrator, the operating advisor, the asset representations reviewer, the master servicer, the special servicer, or any of their respective affiliated entities (the “Transaction Parties”), has provided or will provide advice with respect to the acquisition of Offered Certificates by the Plan, other than to the Plan Fiduciary which is independent of the Transaction Parties, and the Plan Fiduciary either: (a) is a bank as defined in Section 202 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the “Advisers Act”), or similar institution that is regulated and supervised and subject to periodic examination by a State or Federal agency; (b) is an insurance carrier which is qualified under the laws of more than one state to perform the services of managing, acquiring or disposing of assets of a Plan; (c) is an investment adviser registered under the Advisers Act, or, if not registered an as investment adviser under the Advisers Act by reason of paragraph (1) of Section 203A of the Advisers Act, is registered as an investment adviser under the laws of the state in which it maintains its principal office and place of business; (d) is a broker-dealer registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; or (e) has, and at all times that the Plan is invested in the Offered Certificates will have, total assets of at least U.S. $50,000,000 under its management or control (provided that this clause (e) shall not be satisfied if the Plan Fiduciary is either (i) the owner or a relative of the owner of an investing individual retirement account or (ii) a participant or beneficiary of the Plan investing in the Offered Certificates in such capacity);

 

(2) the Plan Fiduciary is capable of evaluating investment risks independently, both in general and with respect to particular transactions and investment strategies, including the acquisition by the Plan of Offered Certificates;

 

(3) the Plan Fiduciary is a “fiduciary” with respect to the Plan within the meaning of Section 3(21) of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code, or both, and is responsible for exercising independent judgment in evaluating the Plan’s acquisition of the Offered Certificates;

 

(4) none of the Transaction Parties has exercised any authority to cause the Plan to invest in the Offered Certificates or to negotiate the terms of the Plan’s investment in the Offered Certificates or receives a fee or other compensation from the Plan or Plan Fiduciary for the provision of investment advice in connection with the acquisition by the Plan of the Offered Certificates; and

 

(5) the Plan Fiduciary has been informed by the Transaction Parties: (a) that none of the Transaction Parties is undertaking to provide impartial investment advice or to give advice in a fiduciary capacity, and that no such entity has given investment advice or otherwise made a recommendation, in connection with the Plan’s acquisition of the Offered Certificates; and (b) of the existence and nature of the Transaction Parties’ financial interests in the Plan’s acquisition of the Offered Certificates, as described in this prospectus.

 

 639

 

 

The above representations are intended to comply with the DOL’s Reg. Sections 29 C.F.R. 2510.3-21(a) and (c)(1) as promulgated on April 8, 2016 (81 Fed. Reg. 20,997). If these regulations are revoked, repealed or no longer effective, these representations shall be deemed to be no longer in effect.

 

None of the Transaction Parties is undertaking to provide impartial investment advice, or to give advice in a fiduciary capacity, in connection with the acquisition of any Offered Certificates by any Plan.

 

Insurance Company General Accounts

 

Sections I and III of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption (“PTCE”) 95-60 exempt from the application of the prohibited transaction provisions of Sections 406(a), 406(b) and 407(a) of ERISA and Code Section 4975 transactions in connection with the acquisition of a security (such as a certificate issued by the issuing entity) as well as the servicing, management and operation of a trust (such as the issuing entity) in which an insurance company general account has an interest as a result of its acquisition of certificates issued by the issuing entity, provided that certain conditions are satisfied. If these conditions are met, insurance company general accounts investing assets that are treated as assets of Plans would be allowed to purchase certain classes of certificates which do not meet the ratings requirements of the Exemption. All other conditions of the Exemption would have to be satisfied in order for PTCE 95-60 to be available. Before purchasing any class of Offered Certificates, an insurance company general account seeking to rely on Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 should itself confirm that all applicable conditions and other requirements have been satisfied.

 

Section 401(c) of ERISA provides certain exemptive relief from the provisions of Part 4 of Title I of ERISA and Code Section 4975, including the prohibited transaction restrictions imposed by ERISA and the related excise taxes imposed by the Code, for transactions involving an insurance company general account. Pursuant to Section 401(c) of ERISA, the DOL issued regulations (“401(c) Regulations”), generally effective July 5, 2001, to provide guidance for the purpose of determining, in cases where insurance policies supported by an insurance company’s general account are issued to or for the benefit of a Plan on or before December 31, 1998, which general account assets constitute Plan assets. Any assets of an insurance company general account which support insurance policies issued to a Plan after December 31, 1998 or issued to Plans on or before December 31, 1998 for which the insurance company does not comply with the 401(c) Regulations may be treated as Plan assets. In addition, because Section 401(c) of ERISA does not relate to insurance company separate accounts, separate account assets are still generally treated as Plan assets of any Plan invested in that separate account. Insurance companies contemplating the investment of general account assets in the Offered Certificates should consult with their counsel with respect to the applicability of Section 401(c) of ERISA.

 

Due to the complexity of these rules and the penalties imposed upon persons involved in prohibited transactions, it is particularly important that potential investors who are Plan fiduciaries or who are investing Plan assets consult with their counsel regarding the consequences under ERISA and the Code of their acquisition and ownership of certificates.

 

THE SALE OF OFFERED CERTIFICATES TO A PLAN IS IN NO RESPECT A REPRESENTATION BY THE DEPOSITOR OR ANY OF THE UNDERWRITERS THAT THIS INVESTMENT MEETS ANY RELEVANT LEGAL REQUIREMENTS WITH RESPECT TO INVESTMENTS BY PLANS GENERALLY OR ANY PARTICULAR PLAN, OR THAT THIS INVESTMENT IS APPROPRIATE FOR PLANS GENERALLY OR ANY PARTICULAR PLAN.

Legal Investment

 

None of the classes of Offered Certificates will constitute “mortgage related securities” for purposes of the Secondary Mortgage Market Enhancement Act of 1984, as amended (“SMMEA”). Generally, the only classes of Offered Certificates which will qualify as “mortgage related securities” will be those that (1) are rated in one of the two highest rating categories by at least one NRSRO and (2) are part of a series evidencing interests in a trust consisting of loans originated by certain types of originators specified in SMMEA and secured by first liens on real estate.

 

Although Section 939(e) of the Dodd-Frank Act amended SMMEA, effective July 21, 2012, so as to require the SEC to establish creditworthiness standards by that date in substitution for the foregoing ratings test, the SEC has neither proposed nor adopted a rule establishing new creditworthiness standards for purposes of SMMEA as of the date of this prospectus. However, the SEC has issued a transitional interpretation (Release No. 34-67448 (effective July 20, 2012)), which provides that, until such time as final rules establishing new standards of creditworthiness become effective, the standard of creditworthiness for purposes of the definition of the term “mortgage related security” is a security that is rated in one of the two highest rating categories by at least one NRSRO. Depending on the standards of creditworthiness that are ultimately established by the SEC, it is possible that certain classes of Offered Certificates specified to be “mortgage related securities” for purposes of SMMEA may no longer qualify as such as of the time such new standards are effective.

 

The appropriate characterization of the Offered Certificates under various legal investment restrictions, and thus the ability of investors subject to those restrictions to purchase the Offered Certificates, are subject to significant interpretive uncertainties.

 

We make no representation as to the proper characterization of the Offered Certificates for legal investment, financial institution regulatory, or other purposes, or as to the ability of particular investors to purchase any Offered Certificates under applicable legal investment restrictions. Further, any rating of a class of certificates below an “investment grade” rating (i.e., lower than the top four rating categories) by a Rating Agency or another NRSRO, whether initially or as a result of a ratings downgrade, may adversely affect the ability of an investor to purchase or retain, or otherwise impact the liquidity, market value, and regulatory characteristics of, that class. The uncertainties described above (and any unfavorable future determinations concerning the legal investment or financial institution regulatory characteristics of the Offered Certificates) may adversely affect the liquidity and market value of the Offered Certificates.

 

Accordingly, all investors whose investment activities are subject to legal investment laws and regulations, regulatory capital requirements, or review by regulatory authorities, should consult with their own legal advisors in determining whether and to what extent the Offered Certificates constitute legal investments or are subject to investment, capital, or other regulatory restrictions.

 

The issuing entity will not be registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The issuing entity will be relying on an exclusion or exemption from the definition of “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended contained in Section 3(c)(5) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or Rule 3a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, although there may be additional exclusions or exemptions available to the issuing entity. The issuing entity is being structured so as not to constitute a “covered fund” for purposes of the Volcker Rule under the Dodd-Frank Act.

 

 641

 

 

Legal Matters

 

The validity of the Offered Certificates and certain federal income tax matters will be passed upon for the depositor by Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft LLP, New York, New York, and certain other legal matters will be passed upon for the underwriters by Sidley Austin LLP, New York, New York.

 

Ratings

 

It is a condition to their issuance that the Offered Certificates (other than the Class X-B, Class A-S, Class B and Class C certificates) receive investment grade credit ratings from the three (3) Rating Agencies engaged by the depositor to rate the Offered Certificates, and it is a condition to their issuance that the Class X-B, Class A-S, Class B and Class C certificates receive investment grade credit ratings from the two (2) Rating Agencies engaged by the depositor to rate such Offered Certificates.

 

We are not obligated to maintain any particular rating with respect to any class of Offered Certificates. Changes affecting the Mortgaged Properties, the parties to the PSA or another person may have an adverse effect on the ratings of the Offered Certificates, and thus on the liquidity, market value and regulatory characteristics of the Offered Certificates, although such adverse changes would not necessarily be an event of default under the related Mortgage Loan.

 

The ratings address the likelihood of full and timely receipt by the Certificateholders of all distributions of interest at the applicable Pass-Through Rate on the Offered Certificates to which they are entitled on each Distribution Date and the ultimate payment in full of the Certificate Balance of each class of Offered Certificates on a date that it not later than the Rated Final Distribution Date with respect to such class of certificates. The Rated Final Distribution Date will be the Distribution Date in November 2050. See “Yield and Maturity Considerations” and “Pooling and Servicing Agreement—Advances”. Any ratings of each Offered Certificates should be evaluated independently from similar ratings on other types of securities.

 

The ratings are not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities, a measure of asset value or an indication of the suitability of an investment, and may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by any Rating Agency. In addition, these ratings do not address: (a) the likelihood, timing, or frequency of prepayments (both voluntary and involuntary) and their impact on interest payments or the degree to which such prepayments might differ from those originally anticipated, (b) the possibility that a Certificateholder might suffer a lower than anticipated yield, (c) the likelihood of receipt of Yield Maintenance Charges, prepayment charges, Prepayment Premiums, prepayment fees or penalties, default interest or Excess Interest, (d) the likelihood of experiencing any Prepayment Interest Shortfalls, an assessment of whether or to what extent the interest payable on any class of Offered Certificates may be reduced in connection with any Prepayment Interest Shortfalls, or of receiving Compensating Interest Payments, (e) the tax treatment of the Offered Certificates or effect of taxes on the payments received, (f) the likelihood or willingness of the parties to the respective documents to meet their contractual obligations or the likelihood or willingness of any party or court to enforce, or hold enforceable, the documents in whole or in part, (g) an assessment of the yield to maturity that investors may experience, (h) the likelihood, timing or receipt of any payments of interest to the holders of the Offered Certificates resulting from an increase in the interest rate on any Mortgage Loan in connection with a Mortgage Loan modification, waiver or amendment,

 

 642

 

 

(i) Excess Interest or (ii) other non-credit risks, including, without limitation, market risks or liquidity.

 

The ratings take into consideration the credit quality of the underlying Mortgaged Properties and the Mortgage Loans, structural and legal aspects associated with the Offered Certificates, and the extent to which the payment stream of the Mortgage Loans is adequate to make payments required under the Offered Certificates. However, as noted above, the ratings do not represent an assessment of the likelihood, timing or frequency of principal prepayments (both voluntary and involuntary) by the borrowers, or the degree to which such prepayments might differ from those originally anticipated. In general, the ratings address credit risk and not prepayment risk. Ratings are forward-looking opinions about credit risk and express an agency’s opinion about the ability and willingness of an issuer of securities to meet its financial obligations in full and on time. Ratings are not indications of investment merit. In addition, the ratings do not represent an assessment of the yield to maturity that investors may experience or the possibility that investors might not fully recover their initial investment in the event of delinquencies or defaults or rapid prepayments on the Mortgage Loans (including both voluntary and involuntary prepayments) or the application of any Realized Losses. In the event that holders of such certificates do not fully recover their investment as a result of rapid principal prepayments on the Mortgage Loans, all amounts “due” to such holders will nevertheless have been paid, and such result is consistent with the ratings assigned to such certificates. As indicated in this prospectus, holders of the certificates with Notional Amounts are entitled only to payments of interest on the related Mortgage Loans. If the Mortgage Loans were to prepay in the initial month, with the result that the holders of the certificates with Notional Amounts receive only a single month’s interest and therefore, suffer a nearly complete loss of their investment, all amounts “due” to such holders will nevertheless have been paid, and such result is consistent with the rating received on those certificates. The Notional Amounts of the certificates with Notional Amounts on which interest is calculated may be reduced by the allocation of Realized Losses and prepayments, whether voluntary or involuntary. The ratings do not address the timing or magnitude of reductions of such Notional Amount, but only the obligation to pay interest timely on the Notional Amount, as so reduced from time to time. Therefore, the ratings of the certificates with Notional Amounts should be evaluated independently from similar ratings on other types of securities. See “Risk Factors—Other Risks Relating to the Certificates—Your Yield May Be Affected by Defaults, Prepayments and Other Factors” and “Yield and Maturity Considerations”.

 

Although the depositor will prepay fees for ongoing rating surveillance by certain of the Rating Agencies, the depositor has no obligation or ability to ensure that any Rating Agency performs ratings surveillance. In addition, a Rating Agency may cease ratings surveillance if the information furnished to that Rating Agency is insufficient to allow it to perform surveillance.

 

Any of the four (4) NRSROs that we hired may issue unsolicited credit ratings on one or more classes of certificates that we did not hire it to rate. Additionally, other NRSROs that we have not engaged to rate the Offered Certificates may nevertheless issue unsolicited credit ratings on one or more classes of Offered Certificates relying on information they receive pursuant to Rule 17g-5 or otherwise. If any such unsolicited ratings are issued, we cannot assure you that they will not be different from those ratings assigned by the Rating Agencies. The issuance of unsolicited ratings of a class of the Offered Certificates that are lower than the ratings assigned by the Rating Agencies may adversely impact the liquidity, market value and regulatory characteristics of that class. As part of the process of obtaining ratings for the Offered Certificates, the depositor had initial discussions with and submitted certain materials to six NRSROs. Based on final feedback from those six NRSROs

 

 643

 

 

at that time, the depositor hired the Rating Agencies to rate the Offered Certificates and not the other three NRSROs due, in part, to those NRSROs’ initial subordination levels for the various classes of Offered Certificates. Had the depositor selected such other NRSROs to rate the Offered Certificates, we cannot assure you as to the ratings that such other NRSROs would ultimately have assigned to the Certificates. In the case of one NRSRO hired by the depositor, the depositor only requested ratings for certain classes of rated Offered Certificates, due in part to the final subordination levels provided by that NRSRO for the classes of Offered Certificates. If the depositor had selected that NRSRO to rate those other classes of certificates not rated by it, its ratings of those other certificates may have been different, and potentially lower, than those ratings ultimately assigned to those certificates by the other three NRSROs hired by the depositor. Although unsolicited ratings may be issued by any NRSRO, an NRSRO might be more likely to issue an unsolicited rating if it was not selected after having provided preliminary feedback to the depositor.

 FOOTNOTES TO ANNEX A-2

(1)All numerical information concerning the mortgage loans is approximate and, in the case of mortgage loans secured by multiple properties, is based on allocated loan amounts with respect to such properties. All weighted average information regarding the mortgage loans reflects the weighting of the mortgage loans based on their outstanding principal balances as of the Cut-off Date or, in the case of mortgage loans secured by multiple properties, allocated loan amounts. The sum of numbers and percentages in columns may not match the “Total” due to rounding. With respect to any mortgage loan that is part of a whole loan, unless otherwise indicated, all Balance per Unit/Room/NRA, LTV Ratio, U/W NCF DSCR and Debt Yield calculations include any related pari passu companion loans and exclude any related subordinate companion loans, as applicable.

 

(2)With respect to any mortgage loan that is part of a whole loan, unless otherwise indicated, LTV, DSCR and Debt Yield calculations in this prospectus include any related pari passu companion loans and exclude any subordinate companion loans, as applicable. Additionally, LTV, DSCR and Debt Yield figures in this prospectust are calculated for mortgage loans without regard to any additional indebtedness that may be incurred at a future date.

 

(3)With respect to mortgage loan secured by the mortgaged property identified on Annex A-1 as the 237 Park Avenue, the Cut-off Date LTV and Maturity Date LTV has been calculated based on the “As-Is Assuming Reserves” value of $1.31 billion as of May 22, 2017, which assumes upfront reserves of $81,365,605 for capital expenditures and tenant improvements and leasing costs for recently signed leases in addition to a $7.5 million escrow and letters of credit in an aggregate amount of $8.5 billion to cover interest and free rent payments, specifically for a portion of the free rent provided to The New York and Presbyterian Hospital and Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Canada spaces.

(1)The increase in UW NOI over historical periods is primarily driven by the expiration of rent abatements, recently executed leases and leases going into effect. The 3800 Alameda Property had rent abatements of $10.4 million, $11.2 million and $11.4 million in 2014, 2015 and 2016, respectively. UW NOI does not include a deduction for base rent abatements because base rent abatements for the underwritten leases either do not have any base rent abatements or the remaining abated rent amounts were substantially reserved at origination in the unfunded obligations reserve.

(2)6/30/2017 TTM Gross Potential Rent is shown net of rent rebates.

(3)UW Gross Potential Rent is based on the underwritten rent roll and includes (i) for non-investment grade tenants, rent steps through October 1, 2018 of $2,480,650, (ii) for investment grade tenants, the average base rent over their respective lease terms of $3,397,039, and (iii) vacancy gross up of $6,813,889.

(4)Other Income includes parking revenue and other miscellaneous income.

(5)2014 Occupancy excludes The Pointe Property, which was developed in 2009 but in a lease up until 2015.

(6)Debt service coverage ratios and debt yields are based on the Burbank Office Portfolio Senior Loan totaling $379,000,000 and exclude the Burbank Office Portfolio Subordinate Companion Loans.

Escrows and Reserves. The Burbank Office Portfolio Borrower deposited in escrow $18,000,000 for window repairs, $14,151,048 for outstanding tenant allowances and $3,617,000 for outstanding free rent and during the continuance of a Cash Sweep Period (as defined below), is required to escrow monthly (i) 1/12 of the annual estimated tax payments, (ii) 1/12 of the annual insurance premiums, (iii) 1/12 of the amount equal to the aggregate net rentable square footage of the Burbank Office Portfolio Properties (if applicable, excluding the net rentable square footage of any released property) times $0.25 for capital expenditures (the “Monthly Replacement Reserve Deposit”), subject to a cap of an amount equal to the Monthly Replacement Reserve Deposit times 12 and (iv) 1/12 of the amount equal to the aggregate net rentable square footage of the Burbank Office Portfolio Properties (if applicable, excluding the net rentable square footage of any released property) times $1.25 for tenant improvements and leasing commissions (the “Monthly Rollover Reserve Deposit”), subject to a cap of an amount equal to the Monthly Rollover Reserve Deposit times 12. Upon the cure of a Cash Sweep Period, such monthly deposits for tax, insurance, capital expenditures and tenant improvements and leasing commissions will be waived and the amounts in such reserve accounts will be released to the Burbank Office Portfolio Borrower.

 

Lockbox and Cash Management. A hard lockbox is in place with respect to the Burbank Office Portfolio Whole Loan. The Burbank Office Portfolio Whole Loan has springing cash management during the continuance of a Cash Sweep Period (as defined below). During the continuance of a Cash Sweep Period, funds in the lockbox account are required to be transferred to the cash management account up to two times per week and such funds in the cash management account are required to be applied on each monthly payment date to fund the required reserves deposits as described above under “Escrows and Reserves,” pay debt service on the Burbank Office Portfolio Whole Loan, pay operating expenses for the Burbank Office Portfolio and disburse the remainder to an account to be held by the lender as additional security for the Burbank Office Portfolio Whole Loan (or upon the cure of a Cash Sweep Period, provided that no event of default has occurred and is continuing, to the Burbank Office Portfolio Borrower).

 

A “Cash Sweep Period” will occur upon (i) an event of default, (ii) any bankruptcy action involving the Burbank Office Portfolio Borrower, the guarantor or any TRS Entity (as defined below), or (iii) the debt yield for the Burbank Office Portfolio Whole Loan falling below 7.0% for two consecutive calendar quarters. A Cash Sweep Period will continue until, in regard to clause (i) above, the cure of such event of default and acceptance of such cure by the lender, in regard to clause (ii) above, in the event of an involuntary bankruptcy action, upon the filing being discharged, stayed or dismissed within 90 days of such filing, or in regard to clause (iii) above, (a) the debt yield for the Burbank Office Portfolio Whole Loan is equal to or greater than 7.0% for two consecutive calendar quarters or (b) the Burbank Office Portfolio Borrower prepays the Burbank Office Portfolio Whole Loan in an amount sufficient to achieve a debt yield equal to or greater than 7.0%.

 

Additional Secured Indebtedness (not including trade debts). In addition to the Burbank Office Portfolio Mortgage Loan, the Burbank Office Portfolio Properties also secure seven additional pari passu senior notes, which combined with the Burbank Office Portfolio Mortgage Loan comprise the Burbank Office Portfolio Senior Loan in the aggregate principal amount of $379,000,000, and two subordinate notes with an aggregate principal balance of $281,000,000 comprising the Burbank Office Portfolio Subordinate Companion Loans. The Burbank Office Portfolio Subordinate Companion Loans are coterminous with the Burbank Office Portfolio Senior Loan and accrue interest at 3.5410%. The Burbank Office Portfolio Mortgage Loan along with the other notes that comprise the Burbank Office Portfolio Senior Loan are each pari passu in right of payment and the Burbank Office Portfolio Senior Loan is senior in right of payment to the Burbank Office Portfolio Subordinate Companion Loans. The holders of the Burbank Office Portfolio Mortgage Loan, the other notes that comprise the Burbank Office Portfolio Senior Loan and the Burbank Office Portfolio Subordinate Companion Loans have entered into a co-lender agreement which sets forth the allocation of collections on the Burbank Office Portfolio Whole Loan. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Non-Serviced AB Whole Loans”.

 

Mezzanine Loan and Preferred Equity. Not permitted.

 

Release of Property. The Burbank Office Portfolio Borrower may obtain the release of any Burbank Office Portfolio Property, provided that, among other things, (i) no event of default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) the Burbank Office Portfolio Borrower pays the Release Amount (as defined below) along with any yield maintenance premium, (iii) the debt yield with respect to the remaining Burbank Office Portfolio Properties is no less than the greater of (a) the debt yield at origination of the Burbank Office Portfolio Whole Loan and (b) the debt yield immediately prior to the release, provided, however, that the debt yield is not required to be greater than 10.0%. In the event that such debt yield requirement is not satisfied and the release of such property is in connection with a sale of such property to a third party, the Burbank Office Portfolio Borrower will be permitted to obtain the release of such property upon the payment of an amount equal to the greater (i) of the Release Amount and (ii) the lesser of (a) lender’s allocation of 100% of the net sales proceeds for such property and (b) an amount necessary to, after giving effect to such release, satisfy the debt yield requirement set forth above, along with any yield maintenance premium required. For the purposes of calculating the debt yield relating to the release of one or more properties, the Burbank Office Portfolio Borrower may elect to deliver a letter of credit in the maximum aggregate amount of $15,000,000 as additional collateral for the Burbank Office Portfolio Whole Loan to be counted against the outstanding principal balance of the Burbank Office Portfolio Whole Loan.

 

The “Release Amount” is an amount equal to (i) for The Pointe Property, 110%, and (ii) for the Media Studios Property, 3800 Alameda Property and Central Park Property, 105%, of the Allocated Cut-off Date Balance of such property (identified in the “Portfolio Summary” chart above).

 

Release of Parcel. The Burbank Office Portfolio Borrower may obtain the release of any unimproved non-income producing land located at any Burbank Office Portfolio Property, for which no value was attributed to such unimproved non-income producing land in the applicable appraisal, without any requirements to pay any portion of any allocated loan amount, Release Amount, prepayment fees or yield maintenance premium, provided that certain terms and conditions as specified in the loan agreement are satisfied.

 

TRS Entities. The Central Park Property, The Pointe Property and two parcels of the Media Studios Property have taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) structures in place with respect to certain café, fitness and transportation elements of the applicable parcels (individually, a “TRS Entity”, and collectively, the “TRS Entities”). Each TRS Entity is a special purpose, bankruptcy remote, Delaware limited liability company. The TRS Entities have mortgaged their respective interests and are non-borrower parties to the loan agreement and other loan documents with respect to all applicable representations, warranties and covenants. The TRS Entities are not, however, obligors under the notes.

 

Terrorism Insurance. The Burbank Office Portfolio Borrower is required to obtain insurance against acts of terrorism for loss resulting from perils and acts of terrorism in amounts and with terms and conditions applicable to commercial property, general liability, business income and umbrella liability insurance required pursuant to the Burbank Office Portfolio Whole Loan documents.

(1)The Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Properties were acquired in 2014. As such, historical information is not available.

(2)Appraisal Stabilized Year 4 information is based on the appraisal, forecasting operating performance for September 1, 2020 to September 1, 2021 under the following assumptions: annual rent growth rates of 1.5% for Years 1 and 2 and 3.0% for Years 3 and 4 for rent stabilized units, and 0.0% for Year 1 and 4.0% in Years 2 to 4 for free market units, stabilized occupancy rate of 97.0%, real estate tax expenses at 5.75% annually, and operating expenses growing at 3.5% annually.

(3)Stabilized UW Year 4 information is projected based on the following assumptions: annual rent growth rates of 1.5% for Years 1 and 2 and 3.0% for Years 3 and 4 for rent stabilized units, and 0.0% for Year 1 and 4.0% in Years 2 to 4 for free market units, rent-regulated units are converted to free market status at a rate of 10% per annum (32 units in the first year and 220 units over holding period), stabilized occupancy rate of 97.0%, rent regulated units are converted to free market status at a recapture rate of 10% per annum (25 units for Year 1 and 170 units over the holding period at the Yorkshire Towers Property and seven units for Year 1 and 50 units over the holding period at the Lexington Towers Property), real estate tax expenses growing at 5.75% annually at the Yorkshire Towers Property and 8.00% annually at the Lexington Towers Property, and operating expenses growing at 3.5% annually. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Litigation and Other Considerations”.

(4)Gross Potential Rent has been increasing due to higher asking rents for 69 rent regulated units that have been converted and renovated into free market units over the last 35 months ending August 2017 in combination with property-wide improvements, unit reconfigurations, and renovations of existing free market rents with new finishes.

(5)UW Gross Potential Rent is underwritten to the September 24, 2017 rent roll, which reflects physical occupancy of 92.0% and includes the gross up of vacant space based on the appraisal’s concluded market rents of $4,683,815 and credit loss of ($253,990). UW Gross Potential Rent excludes four management units and two employee units with assumed rental rates of $1 per month.

(6)Total Other Income includes contractual rent paid by the laundry operator of $234,000 at the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Properties, contractual rent paid by six commercial tenants at the Yorkshire Towers Property of $5,278,134, contractual rent paid by six commercial tenants at the Lexington Towers Property of $1,127,432, eight storage leases at the Yorkshire Towers Property of $12,000, straight-line rent of $414,930 for CVS Pharmacy at the Yorkshire Towers Property and other non-rental income such as late fees, and pet fees. Total Other Rental Income was lower in 2015, 2016, and 6/30/2017 TTM primarily due to the CVS Pharmacy lease commencing May 2017 and A&P, a previous retail tenant, vacating in 2015.

(7)Vacancy & Concessions increased in 2016 over 2015 due to leasing incentives offered while the lobbies, hallways, roofs, and apartment units underwent renovation and construction.

(8)Debt service coverage ratios and debt yields are based on the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Senior Loan.

 

Escrows and Reserves. The Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Borrower deposited $2,724,408 upfront in escrow for annual real estate taxes, $89,787 upfront in escrow for annual insurance premiums, $2,000,000 upfront for debt service, $3,500,000 upfront for unit renovations and tenant buyouts relating to renovations to residential units in connection with the deregulation of such units from rent regulatory laws and units not subject to rent regulation laws, and $4,102,064 upfront for the holdback reserve funds. The Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Borrower will be required to escrow monthly (a) 1/12 of the annual estimated tax payments, (b) 1/12 of the annual estimated insurance premiums, (c) 1/12 of $0.15 PSF of retail and garage space (excluding CVS so long as (i) no event of default exists under the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Whole Loan, (ii) the CVS lease is in full force and effect and (iii) no default exists under the CVS lease beyond all applicable notice and cure periods) for commercial replacement reserves, (d) 1/12 of $250 per free market residential unit for residential replacement reserves subject to a cap calculated on a quarterly basis equal to the product of (x) $750 and (y) the number of free market residential units at the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Properties at the time of calculation, and (e) $1.00 PSF of retail space (excluding garage space and CVS (with respect to CVS, so long as (i) no event of default exists under the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Whole Loan, (ii) the CVS lease is in full force and effect and (iii) no default exists under the CVS lease beyond all applicable notice and cure periods)) for tenant improvements and leasing commissions.

 

During any period that amounts on deposit in the holdback reserve funds exceed an amount equal to five times the difference of (x) $38,000,000 and (y) the gross income from operations of the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Properties, in the aggregate, at the time of calculation (the “Holdback Threshold Amount”), and provided that no event of default has occurred or is continuing, funds on deposit in the holdback reserve funds in excess of the Holdback Threshold Amount, if any, will be (i) during a Cash Management Trigger Event (as defined below), transferred to the cash management account or (ii) returned to the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Borrower. The lenders will not be required to disburse holdback reserve funds more than once each calendar month and each disbursement must be at least $250,000 (or a lesser amount if the total remaining balance in the holdback reserve funds is less than $250,000, in which case only one disbursement of the amount remaining in the holdback reserve funds will be made). As of October 24, 2017, one disbursement in the amount of $1,540,192 was made to the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Borrower from the holdback reserve funds account.

Loans) based on the trailing twelve-month period of greater than 1.10x (the “Debt Service Shortfall Reserve Transfer Date”), all funds remaining on deposit in the debt service reserve will be transferred to the renovation and tenant buyout reserve.

During the continuance of an event of default under the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Mezzanine Loans, funds on deposit in the Excess Cash Flow Account will be allocated to the applicable mezzanine loan subaccount.

A “DSCR Trigger Cure Deposit” means a deposit with the lenders in the form of cash or a letter of credit equal to (A) an amount that if used to repay the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Whole Loan and Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Mezzanine Loans, pro-rata, results in a debt service coverage ratio greater than the DSCR Cash Management Trigger Event Threshold for two consecutive quarters or (B) the positive difference between (x) the amount of net operating income necessary to achieve a debt service coverage ratio over a twelve month period equal to the DSCR Cash Management Trigger Event Threshold and (y) the lesser of (i) the amount of net operating income necessary to achieve a debt service coverage ratio of 1.00x and (ii) the net operating income over a twelve month period.

 

A “Cash Sweep Trigger Event” will occur upon (i) an event of default under the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Whole Loan, (ii) any bankruptcy action involving the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Borrower, the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Borrower Sponsors, the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Guarantors, or the property manager, or (iii) the date (a) following the Debt Service Shortfall Reserve Transfer Date but prior to the second anniversary of the first payment date, the debt service coverage ratio (in the aggregate taking into account both the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Whole Loan and the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Mezzanine Loans) based on the trailing twelve-month period falling below 1.05x and (b) after the second anniversary of the first payment date, the debt service coverage ratio based on the trailing twelve-month period falling below 1.10x. A Cash Sweep Trigger Event will continue until, in regard to clause (i) above, the cure of such event of default and acceptance of such cure by the lenders, in regard to clause (ii) above, the filing being discharged, stayed or dismissed within 60 days for the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Borrower, the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Borrower Sponsors, or the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Guarantors, or within 120 days for the property manager, and lenders’ determination that such filing does not materially affect the monetary obligations of the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Borrower, the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Borrower Sponsors, the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Guarantors, or the property manager, or in regard to clause (iii) above, a DSCR Cure Event.

The Mortgage Loan. The fifth largest mortgage loan (the “ExchangeRight Net Leased Portfolio Mortgage Loan”) is evidenced by a single promissory note with an original principal balance of $36,860,000 and is secured by first priority fee mortgages encumbering 16 cross-collateralized, single tenant retail properties located in South Carolina, Wisconsin, Ohio, Louisiana, Illinois, and Virginia (collectively, the “ExchangeRight Net Leased Portfolio Properties”). The ExchangeRight Net Leased Portfolio Mortgage Loan was originated on August 10, 2017 by Société Générale. The ExchangeRight Net Leased Portfolio Mortgage Loan accrues interest at an interest rate of 3.9930% per annum. The ExchangeRight Net Leased Portfolio Mortgage Loan had an initial term of 120 months, has a remaining term of 118 months as of the Cut-off Date and requires payments of interest only through the ExchangeRight Net Leased Portfolio Mortgage Loan term. The ExchangeRight Net Leased Portfolio Mortgage Loan matures on September 1, 2027.

The Borrower and the Borrower Sponsors. The borrower is ExchangeRight Net Leased Portfolio 17 DST (the “ExchangeRight Net Leased Portfolio Borrower”), a Delaware statutory trust. At origination of the ExchangeRight Net Leased Portfolio Mortgage Loan, the ExchangeRight Net Leased Portfolio Properties were conveyed and assumed from ExchangeRight Net Leased Portfolio 17, LLC to and by the ExchangeRight Net Leased Portfolio Borrower. The ExchangeRight Net Leased Portfolio Borrower has master leased the ExchangeRight Net Leased Portfolio Properties to ExchangeRight NLP 17 Master Lessee, LLC (the “Master Lessee”), a Delaware limited liability company, which is an affiliate of the borrower sponsors. The Master Lessee is structured as a special purpose entity in which the borrower sponsors have a 100% ownership interest. The Master Lessee’s interest in the master lease and all tenant rents are collaterally assigned to the lender. The master lease is subordinate to the ExchangeRight Net Leased Portfolio Mortgage Loan. There is one independent trustee for the ExchangeRight Net Leased Portfolio Borrower and one independent manager for the Master Lessee. Legal counsel to the ExchangeRight Net Leased Portfolio Borrower delivered a non-consolidation opinion in connection with the origination of the ExchangeRight Net Leased Portfolio Mortgage Loan. ExchangeRight Real Estate, LLC (“ExchangeRight”), David Fisher, Joshua Ungerecht and Warren Thomas are the guarantors of certain nonrecourse carveouts under the ExchangeRight Net Leased Portfolio Mortgage Loan. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Mortgage Pool Characteristics—Tenancies-in-Common or Diversified Ownership” .

 

The borrower sponsors are ExchangeRight, David Fisher, Joshua Ungerecht and Warren Thomas.

Built between 1989 and 2017, the ExchangeRight Net Leased Portfolio Properties range in size from 5,342 SF to 63,133 SF.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the ExchangeRight Net Leased Portfolio Borrower will not be required to provide monthly real estate taxes and insurance premiums, which are solely the obligation of such tenant and paid directly to the relevant taxing authority or insurance company by such tenant in accordance with such tenant’s lease, for so long as (i) no event of default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) the ExchangeRight Net Leased Portfolio Borrower provides proof of payment by the tenant (or the ExchangeRight Net Leased Portfolio Borrower) directly to the taxing authority or the applicable insurance company on or before 15 days prior to the delinquency date of such taxes, (iii) the lease(s) with the applicable tenant(s) will be and continue to be in full force and effect and will not be subject to any default beyond any applicable grace or notice and cure period by either the ExchangeRight Net Leased Portfolio Borrower or the tenant, and (iv) no material adverse change has, in the lender’s reasonable determination, occurred with respect to the applicable tenant such that the ability to timely pay the taxes or insurance premiums that the applicable tenant is required to pay pursuant to its lease has, been materially jeopardized. In addition, the ExchangeRight Net Leased Portfolio Borrower is not required to make deposits into a capital reserve subaccount with respect to the aggregate number of rentable SF at the ExchangeRight Net Leased Portfolio Properties for which the tenants are obligated under their applicable leases to pay capital expenses for their respective premises, for so long as (i) no event of default has occurred and be continuing, (ii) the ExchangeRight Net Leased Portfolio Borrower provides proof of payment by all applicable tenants of the payment of all such capital expenses promptly following request by the lender, (iii) the leases with the applicable tenants are and continue to be in full force and effect and are not be subject to any default beyond any applicable grace or notice and cure period, and (iv) no material adverse change has, in the lender’s reasonable determination, occurred with respect to the applicable tenant such that the ability to timely pay the capital expenses for its respective premises pursuant to its lease has been materially jeopardized.

Lockbox and Cash Management. The ExchangeRight Net Leased Portfolio Mortgage Loan is structured with a hard lockbox and springing cash management. All rents are required to be paid directly into an eligible account maintained by the ExchangeRight Net Leased Portfolio Borrower at a local bank selected by the ExchangeRight Net Leased Portfolio Borrower, which is required at all times to be an eligible institution. Without in any way limiting the foregoing, if the ExchangeRight Net Leased Portfolio Borrower, Master Lessee or manager receive any rents, then (i) such amounts will be deemed to be collateral for the ExchangeRight Net Leased Portfolio Mortgage Loan and will be held in trust by the ExchangeRight Net Leased Portfolio Borrower, Master Lessee or the manager, as applicable, for the benefit, and as the property, of the lender, (ii) such amounts may not be commingled with any other funds or property of the ExchangeRight Net Leased Portfolio Borrower, Master Lessee, or manager, and (iii) the ExchangeRight Net Leased Portfolio Borrower, Master Lessee, or manager, as applicable, is required to deposit such amounts into a clearing account within two business days of receipt. Funds deposited into the clearing account will be swept by the clearing bank on a daily basis into the Master Lessee’s operating account at the clearing bank, unless a Cash Management Period (as defined below) is continuing, in which event such funds will be swept on a daily basis into an eligible account at a deposit bank controlled by the lender. To the extent any Cash Management Period expires or terminates, any funds deposited into the clearing account will be swept by the clearing bank on a daily basis into Master Lessee’s operating account by the lender’s delivery of a notice to the clearing bank, with the lender being entitled to send a subsequent notice to the clearing bank upon the occurrence of a subsequent Cash Management Period to redirect all amounts from the clearing account to the deposit account.

 

A “Cash Management Period” will commence upon the lender giving notice to the clearing bank of the occurrence of any of the following: (i) the maturity date, (ii) a default or an event of default, (iii) if, as of the last day of any calendar quarter during the term, the debt service coverage ratio is less than 1.50x or (iv) on September 1, 2024, to the extent a qualified transfer (i.e., the transfer of all outstanding ownership interest in the ExchangeRight Net Leased Portfolio Borrower to an approved transferee (that is not Delaware statutory trust) and the replacement of a guarantor with an acceptable replacement guarantor) has not occurred as of such date; and will end upon the lender giving notice to the clearing bank that the sweeping of funds into the deposit account may cease, which notice the lender will only be required to give if (1) the ExchangeRight Net Leased Portfolio Mortgage Loan and all other obligations under the loan documents have been repaid in full or (2) the maturity date has not occurred and (A) with respect to the matters described in clause (ii) above, such event of default has been cured and no other event of default has occurred and is continuing, (B) with respect to the matter described in clause (iii) above, the lender has determined that the ExchangeRight Net Leased Portfolio Properties have achieved a debt service coverage ratio of at least 1.55x for two consecutive calendar quarters, or (C) with respect to the matter described in clause (iv) above, a qualified transfer has occurred.

 

Right of First Refusal. Each sole tenant at the Walgreens - Waukesha, WI property, the Walgreens - Blacklick, OH property and Tractor Supply - Conway, SC property has a right of first refusal to purchase the related property in the event of a proposed sale of such property to an unaffiliated third party. Each right of first refusal has been subordinated to the ExchangeRight Net Leased Portfolio Mortgage Loan and does not apply to a transfer in connection with a foreclosure, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or other enforcement action under the ExchangeRight Net Leased Portfolio Mortgage Loan documents.

 

Additional Secured Indebtedness (not including trade debts). Not permitted.

 

Mezzanine Loan and Preferred Equity. Not permitted.

 

Release of Property. Not permitted.

 

Terrorism Insurance. The ExchangeRight Net Leased Portfolio Mortgage Loan documents require that an “all risk” insurance policy be maintained by the ExchangeRight Net Leased Portfolio Borrower and such policy must provide coverage for terrorism in an amount equal to the full replacement cost of the ExchangeRight Net Leased Portfolio Properties, provided that such coverage is available. The ExchangeRight Net Leased Portfolio Mortgage Loan documents also require business interruption insurance covering no less than the 12-month period following the occurrence of a casualty event, together with a 90-day extended period of indemnity.

(1)The increase in Net Operating Income from TTM 8/31/2017 to UW is primarily due to an increase in portfolio-wide occupancy from 72.1% as of 12/31/2016 to 77.5% as of 8/31/2017.

(2)UW Gross Potential Rent is based on the underwritten rent roll as of August 31, 2017.

(3)UW Total Recoveries represent utility reimbursement due from tenants under their leases. The increase in UW Total Recoveries when compared to the TTM is due to the gross up of vacant spaces on the rent roll. On a net basis, LCF has underwritten reimbursements of approximately $2.25 million, consistent with the TTM Utility Reimbursements of $2.0 million.

(4)Debt service coverage ratios and debt yields are based on the National Office Portfolio Whole Loan.

 

Escrows and Reserves. The National Office Portfolio Whole Loan documents provide for escrows in the amount of $2,076,255 for upfront tax reserves and $337,483 to be collected on a monthly basis. The National Office Portfolio Whole Loan documents also provide for upfront insurance premium reserves of $271,808 and $20,908 to be collected on a monthly basis. At origination, a replacement reserve was established in the amount of $150,000. Throughout the loan term $53,598 per month ($0.02 PSF) will be collected on an ongoing basis. Such reserve is capped at $1,157,715 ($0.45 PSF), however, collections will resume if the reserve is drawn down upon. In addition, every four years the National Office Portfolio Borrower will be required to provide a summary of the capital expenditures for the prior four-year period, and if such expenditures exceeded $0.45 PSF, the National Office Portfolio Borrower will be required to make additional deposits into the replacement reserve during the following 24 months equal to 1/24th of such excess. At origination, $196,044 was collected to complete all deferred maintenance items identified by the engineer. The National Office Portfolio Borrower has covenanted to complete all repairs within 180 days of origination with the exception of the fire/life safety/ADA items which are to be completed within 60 days of origination.

 

At origination, $7,176,724 ($2.79 PSF) was collected upfront for future TI / LCs in connection with new leases at the National Office Portfolio Properties. If such reserve falls below $3,859,050 ($1.50 PSF), the National Office Portfolio Borrower is required to replenish such reserve at a rate of $0.50 PSF per year ($1,286,350) to the cap of $3,859,050 ($1.50 PSF). The National Office Portfolio Borrower is permitted to use TI/LC reserve funds to renovate vacant space without having a tenant for a cost up to $10 PSF for a cumulative square footage not to exceed the aggregate cap of 150,000 SF during the loan term. At origination, $2,575,793 was collected in connection with outstanding obligations owed by the National Office Portfolio Borrower to tenants and $1,656,704 was collected in connection with free rent owed tenants. Funds will be disbursed based on the schedule within the related National Office Portfolio Properties Loan agreement.

 

Lockbox and Cash Management. A hard lockbox is in place with respect to the National Office Portfolio Whole Loan. The National Office Portfolio Whole Loan has springing cash management during the continuance of a Cash Flow Sweep Event (as defined below). On a daily basis, funds on deposit in the lockbox account will be transferred to the National Office Portfolio Borrower’s operating account, provided that during the continuance of a Cash Flow Sweep Event, funds deposited into the lockbox account are required to be swept on a daily basis into a cash management account controlled by the lender and applied and disbursed in accordance with the National Office Portfolio Whole Loan documents, with any excess cash held by the lender as additional collateral for the National Office Portfolio Whole Loan. Upon the termination of any Cash Flow Sweep Event, excess cash will no longer be held by the lender and, provided that no other Cash Flow Sweep Event is then in effect, all amounts then on deposit in the lockbox account will be disbursed to the National Office Portfolio Borrower.

 

A “Cash Flow Sweep Event” will occur if (i) an event of default occurs under the loan documents, (ii) an event of default occurs under the management agreement, or (iii) the debt service coverage ratio falls below 1.15x, based on trailing three-month income (a “DSCR Sweep Event”). A Cash Flow Sweep Event will continue until, in regard to clause (i) above, the cure of such event of default, or in regard to clause (ii) above, a replacement manager acceptable to the lender is put in place, or in regard to clause (iii) above, the debt service coverage ratio is in excess of 1.25x for two consecutive quarters.

 

In the event a DSCR Sweep Event occurs, in lieu of establishing the clearing management account, the National Office Portfolio Borrower may elect to post cash collateral in the sum of $209,000 per month during the DSCR Sweep Event with the lender (such deposit, the “Sweep Event Deposit”), to be held as additional collateral for the National Office Portfolio Whole Loan and applied in accordance with the loan documents; provided that if the National Office Portfolio Borrower makes such election, upon the National Office Portfolio Borrower’s failure to make any monthly Sweep Event Deposit, the National Office Portfolio Borrower will be required to establish the cash management account and the National Office Portfolio will be subject to in-place cash

management. Provided that another Cash Flow Sweep Event is not then occurring, upon the date that the DSCR Sweep Event is cured (by the debt service coverage ratio being in excess of 1.25x for two consecutive quarters) the Sweep Event Deposit will be returned in full to the National Office Portfolio Borrower, and provided that no other Cash Flow Sweep Event then exists, any amounts in the cash management account will be returned to the National Office Portfolio Borrower.

 

Beal Bank Pledge. The National Office Portfolio Properties were collateral under a large corporate facility that Boxer F2, L.P. has with Beal Bank USA, a Nevada Thrift (“Beal Bank”), in the amount of $464,000,000 (the “Beal Bank Facility”). In connection with funding of the National Office Portfolio Whole Loan, each National Office Portfolio Property was released from the Beal Bank Facility and dropped into a newly-formed SPE subsidiary of the Beal Bank Facility borrower. The Beal Bank Facility will continue to provide that the parent of the National Office Portfolio Borrower (i.e. the Beal Bank Facility borrower) will be required to submit any and all distributions received from the National Office Portfolio Whole Loan borrower to Beal Bank, including periodic distributions and net proceeds of any sale or refinancing. These remaining obligations of the parent company are secured by a pledge to Beal Bank of ownership interests in the National Office Portfolio Whole Loan borrower (the “Beal Pledge”). The Beal Pledge does not secure any principal amount or regular payments and may only be foreclosed upon in the event of the failure of the parent to make the required payments of distributions to Beal Bank (the parent is only obligated to make distributions to Beal Bank if it receives distributions from the property owner) or upon the occurrence of an event of default under the National Office Portfolio Whole Loan. The Beal Pledge is subject to an intercreditor agreement with the National Office Portfolio Whole Loan lender which will permit Beal Bank to foreclose upon the equity in the National Office Portfolio Whole Loan borrower as long as the foreclosing party is Beal Bank or another qualified transferee (provided that Beal Bank or such other qualified transferee has assets (in name or under management or advisement in excess) of $1 billion and capital surplus/equity or market capitalization of at least $400 million). Beal Bank also has additional cure rights beyond the National Office Portfolio Borrower cure periods and consistent with customary intercreditor provisions. Beal Bank has an option to purchase the National Office Portfolio Properties in the event that (i) the National Office Portfolio Whole Loan has been accelerated or (ii) the lender under the National Office Portfolio Whole Loan has received written notice from the National Office Portfolio Borrower that it will no longer perform under the loan. Beal Bank is pre-approved as an assuming National Office Portfolio Borrower pursuant to the National Office Portfolio Whole Loan documents as long as it is a qualified transferee at the time of the assumption (and meets the required net worth and capital surplus/equity or market capitalization test); Beal Bank is otherwise required to satisfy all of the assumption requirements in the National Office Portfolio Whole Loan documents in connection with an exercise of its purchase option for the National Office Portfolio Properties.

 

Mezzanine Loan and Preferred Equity. In connection with a sale of the properties and assumption of the loan by the purchaser, the loan documents permit mezzanine financing from an institutional lender subject to: (i) no event of default under the related loan documents has occurred and is continuing, (ii) a maximum combined loan-to-value ratio up to 70%, (iii) a minimum combined net operating income debt yield of 11.12%, (iv) the lender’s review and approval of (a) the terms and conditions of the mezzanine loan and the mezzanine loan documents and (b) the structure of the mezzanine borrower, (v) the receipt of a rating agency confirmation from each of the applicable rating agencies that the mezzanine financing will not result in a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the respective ratings assigned to the Series 2017-C5 certificates or any other securities evidencing an interest in a National Office Portfolio companion loan, and (vi) the execution of an intercreditor agreement acceptable to the lender.

 

Release of Property. Not permitted.

 

Release of Parcel. Not permitted.

 

Terrorism Insurance. The National Office Portfolio Borrower is required to obtain insurance against acts of terrorism for loss resulting from perils and acts of terrorism in amounts and with terms and conditions applicable to commercial property, general liability, business income and umbrella liability insurance required pursuant to the National Office Portfolio Whole Loan documents.

The Market. The 237 Park Avenue Property is situated on the entire city block bounded by Park Avenue, Lexington Avenue, East 45th Street and East 46th Street in the Plaza District neighborhood of Midtown Manhattan (the “Neighborhood”), which is home to the headquarters of 28 Fortune 500 companies. The Neighborhood is comprised of many of New York’s well-known landmarks, restaurants, hotels, retail shops and tourist attractions including Grand Central Terminal, Fifth Avenue, St. Patrick’s Cathedral, and Rockefeller Center, and is within short walking distance to the United Nations, Radio City Music Hall, the Museum of Modern Art, the New York Public Library, and Central Park. The Neighborhood is accessible via several transportation hubs, contributing to the appeal for a diverse array of businesses including domestic and international banking, legal services, manufacturing, securities/holdings, printing and publishing, advertising, and communications.

 

According to the appraisal, the 237 Park Avenue Property is located within the Park Avenue submarket of the larger Midtown Manhattan office market and is considered to be one of the premier office corridors in the United States due to its central location, strength of its tenant base, proximity to Grand Central Terminal and other amenities. As of the first quarter 2017, the Class A office space in the Neighborhood had a direct vacancy rate of 9.4% and average asking rents of $99.69 PSF, above the direct primary Midtown Manhattan average of $88.93 PSF. According to the appraisal, as of the first quarter 2017, the Park Avenue submarket consisted of approximately 21.8 million SF of Class A office space and had a direct vacancy rate of 9.2% and overall direct weighted average asking rents of $101.41 PSF.

 

The appraisal identified 10 comparable recent office leases ranging in tenant size from 13,389 SF to 219,000 SF. The comparable leases are all located in buildings similar in class to the 237 Park Avenue Property, and are in the 237 Park Avenue Property’s general competitive market according to the appraisal. The comparable leases have terms ranging from 5.5 to 15 years and exhibit a range of rents from $72.50 PSF to $108.50 PSF, with an average of $82.20 PSF, prior to adjustments.

Tenant improvement allowances ranged from $30.00 PSF to $115.00 PSF.

 

The appraisal identified 35 comparable office properties totaling approximately 32.5 million SF that exhibited a gross rental range of $55.00 PSF to $185.00 PSF and a weighted average occupancy rate of approximately 91.7% for direct space. Of the 35 buildings surveyed, six are considered directly competitive with the 237 Park Avenue Property in terms of building classification, asking rents, rentable office area and current occupancy.

in an amount equal to $60.00 PSF of the JPM premises (“JPM Reserve Cap”) as adjusted pursuant to the 237 Park Avenue Whole Loan documents) upon the occurrence of a JPM Reserve Period, (iv) to the extent the 237 Park Avenue Property generates sufficient cash flow, $20,862 for annual replacements and alterations to the 237 Park Avenue Property (in the case of (i) through (iv) such amounts will be reserved during a Cash Sweep Period (as defined below)) and (v) springing Supplemental Interest Reserve Funds (as defined below) if the 237 Park Avenue Borrower incurs additional mezzanine debt or preferred equity. In addition, in the event the 237 Park Avenue Borrower receives a lease termination fee in excess of $1,000,000, the 237 Park Avenue Borrower is required to immediately deposit such lease termination fee with the Lenders to be utilized for tenant improvements, tenant improvement allowances, leasing commissions and legal costs reasonably approved by the Lenders associated with re-leasing the terminated space.

 

“Supplemental Interest Reserve Funds” equals an amount determined by multiplying (i) the number of monthly payment dates occurring from the date of such deposit until such time that NYP begins making rent payments by (ii) the quotient of (A) $2,000,000 if the additional mezzanine debt or preferred equity equals $69,000,000 (or, in the event the additional mezzanine debt or preferred equity is less than $69,000,000, a prorated deposit amount based on multiplying (x) the actual balance of the mezzanine debt or preferred equity by (y) the quotient obtained by dividing $2,000,000 by $69,000,000) divided by (B) eighteen.

 

Lockbox and Cash Management. The 237 Park Avenue Whole Loan is structured with a hard lockbox and springing cash management. The 237 Park Avenue Borrower was required to send tenant direction letters to all tenants instructing them to deposit all rents and other payments into the lockbox account controlled by the Lenders. So long as no Cash Sweep Period or JPM Reserve Period exists, funds deposited into the lockbox account will be disbursed to the 237 Park Avenue Borrower’s operating account on each business day. During a Cash Sweep Period or JPM Reserve Period, the funds in the lockbox account will be transferred to a lender-controlled cash management account to be disbursed in accordance with the 237 Park Avenue Whole Loan documents.

 

A “Cash Sweep Period” means a period (A) commencing upon the earliest, whether or not any Cash Sweep Period has previously occurred and ended, of (i) the occurrence of an event of default or a mezzanine event of default, or (ii) the occurrence of a Debt Yield Threshold Event (as defined below); and (B) expiring upon (x) with regard to any Cash Sweep Period commenced in connection with clause (A)(i) above, the cure (if applicable) of such event of default and/or mezzanine event of default, as the case may be, and (y) with regard to any Cash Sweep Period commenced in connection with clause (A)(ii) above, (1) the date on which the debt yield cure condition is satisfied, (2) the delivery to the Lenders and the mezzanine lenders of letters of credit in pro rata amounts which, if applied to reduce the outstanding principle balance of the 237 Park Avenue Whole Loan and the 237 Park Avenue Mezzanine Loan, respectively, would cause the debt yield cure condition to be satisfied or (3) with respect to a Debt Yield Threshold Event that resulted from a failure to satisfy the Debt Yield Threshold with respect to the cumulative mezzanine debt yield, the delivery to the mezzanine lenders of cash prepayment in the amount which, if applied to the outstanding principal balance of the 237 Park Avenue Mezzanine Loan, would cause the debt yield cure condition to be satisfied.

 

A “JPM Reserve Period” will commence upon the date that is 15 months prior to the expiration of the JPM lease assuming no replacement leases have been executed and delivered by the 237 Park Avenue Borrower and will terminate upon the earlier to occur of (a) the amount of JPM Reserve Funds on deposit being equal to JPM Reserve Cap, (b) the 237 Park Avenue Borrower entering into one or more replacement leases for the entire JPM premises, or (c) JPM renewing its lease for its entire leased premises.

 

A “Debt Yield Threshold Event” will commence upon the debt yield falling below the Debt Yield Threshold as of the last day of the calendar quarter immediately preceding the applicable date of determination. Commencing with the third quarter of calendar year 2017, within 45 days following the end of each calendar quarter, the 237 Park Avenue Borrower will calculate each debt yield specified by the Debt Yield Threshold for purposes of determining whether a Debt Yield Threshold Event has occurred and will submit such calculations to the Lenders, and such calculation will be subject to the Lenders’ reasonable approval.

 

The “Debt Yield Threshold” is equal to (a) 7.464% with respect to the debt yield, and (b) 6.625% with respect to the cumulative senior mezzanine debt yield.

 

Additional Secured Indebtedness (not including trade debts). In addition to the 237 Park Avenue Mortgage Loan, the 237 Park Avenue Property also secures the 237 Park Avenue Pari Passu Companion Loan and 237 Park Avenue Subordinate Companion Loan. The 237 Park Avenue Whole Loan is comprised of 18 pari passu notes, with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $693.2 million. The 237 Park Avenue Subordinate Companion Loan is comprised of four pari passu notes, with an aggregate outstanding principal balance as of the Cut-off Date of $345.2 million. The controlling senior Note A-1-S, along with three other senior 237 Park Avenue Pari Passu Companion Loan notes and the 237 Park Avenue Subordinate Companion Loan, were contributed to the MSSG 2017-237P transaction, which governs the servicing and administration of the 237 Park Avenue Whole Loan and is the controlling note under the related intercreditor agreement, the rights of which will be exercised by the related trustee (or, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a control termination event under the MSSG 2017-237P Trust and Servicing Agreement, the directing certificate holder under the MSSG 2017-237P Trust and Servicing Agreement). See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Non-Serviced AB Whole Loans”.

 

Mezzanine Loan and Preferred Equity. The 237 Park Avenue Mezzanine Loan is secured by the equity in the 237 Park Avenue Fee Borrower pledged by the direct equity owners of the 237 Park Avenue Fee Borrower. The 237 Park Avenue Mezzanine Loan has an aggregate outstanding principal balance $87.8 million, has an interest-only coupon of 5.25% throughout the full term, and is coterminous with the 237 Park Avenue Whole Loan. Including the 237 Park Avenue Subordinate Companion Loan and the 237 Park Avenue Mezzanine Loan, the cumulative Cut-off Date LTV, cumulative UW NCF DSCR and cumulative UW NOI Debt Yield are 59.6%, 1.75x and 7.3%, respectively. The Lenders and the mezzanine lenders have entered into an intercreditor agreement. In addition, the 237 Park Avenue Borrower is permitted to incur additional indebtedness in the form of one mezzanine loan or preferred equity transaction in the maximum aggregate principal amount of not more than $69,000,000, contingent on the satisfaction of requirements described in the 237 Park Avenue Whole Loan documents.

 

Release of Property. The NYP tenant has a right of first offer to purchase any space that becomes available in the other condominium units at the 237 Park Avenue Property. If NYP exercises its right of first offer to purchase available space, the 237 Park Avenue Borrower will obtain a release of the lien of the mortgage on the applicable accepted offer space subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the loan agreement, including, without limitation, satisfaction of the closing conditions under the NYP purchase and sale agreement and the delivery of a collateral assignment of the purchase money note and purchase money mortgage relating to the accepted offer space in substantially the same form as the collateral assignment delivered to lenders at loan origination. The 237 Park Avenue Borrower is not required to pay any release price in connection with any such release as the collateral

Escrows and Reserves. At origination, the Totowa Commerce Center Borrowers deposited $13,553 upfront in escrow for annual insurance premiums, $15,438 upfront in escrow for deferred maintenance, $702,638 upfront for outstanding tenant improvements and leasing commissions (“TI/LC”) and $83,262 for a free rent reserve.

 

On a monthly basis, the Totowa Commerce Center Borrowers are required to escrow (i) 1/12 of annual estimated tax payments, currently equal to $117,676, (ii) 1/12 of annual estimated insurance premiums, currently equal to $13,553, (iii) $7,061 for a replacement reserve and (iv) $21,157 for a TI/LC reserve. The aggregate balance of the TI/LC reserve and the replacement reserve is subject to a cap in an amount of $500,000. If the aggregate balance of the TI/LC reserve and the replacement reserve falls below $250,000, the Totowa Commerce Center Borrowers are required to escrow on a monthly basis $21,157 until the cap is met. The upfront reserve for TI/LCs is not included in the $500,000 cap.

 

Lockbox and Cash Management. The Totowa Commerce Center Whole Loan is structured with a hard lockbox and springing cash management. The Totowa Commerce Center Whole Loan requires all rents to be directly deposited by tenants of the Totowa Commerce Center Properties into a clearing account. Prior to the occurrence of a Cash Management Period (as defined below), all funds in the lockbox account are swept to the Totowa Commerce Center Borrowers’ operating account. During a Cash Management Period, all funds in the lockbox account will be swept to a lender-controlled cash management account.

 

A “Cash Management Period” will commence upon the occurrence of any of the following: (i) an event of default, (ii) the failure by the Totowa Commerce Center Borrowers, after the end of a calendar quarter, to maintain a debt service coverage ratio of at least 1.05x, or (iii) an Atlantic Inertial Sweep Period (as defined below). A Cash Management Period will end, with respect to clause (ii) above, if for three consecutive months (a) no event of default has occurred, (b) no event that would trigger another Cash Management Period has occurred, and (c) the debt service coverage ratio is at least equal to 1.05x, or with respect to clause (iii) above, an Atlantic Inertial Sweep Period Cure (as defined below) has occurred and no other event that would trigger another Cash Management Period has occurred.

 

An “Atlantic Inertial Sweep Period” will commence upon the receipt by the lender of notice that Commercenter Realty Associates L.L.C. (“Commercenter Realty”) has objected to a requested disbursement from the Atlantic improvement escrow.

 

An “Atlantic Inertial Sweep Period Cure” means the receipt by the lender of evidence wholly satisfactory to the lender of the deposit of funds into the Atlantic Inertial reserve subaccount that when added to the total amount of disbursements made from the Atlantic improvement escrow equals $297,810.

The Mortgage Loan. The fourteenth largest mortgage loan (the “Bass Pro & Cabela’s Portfolio Mortgage Loan”) is part of a whole loan (the “Bass Pro & Cabela’s Portfolio Whole Loan”) with an aggregate original principal balance of $194,900,000. The Bass Pro & Cabela’s Portfolio Whole Loan is secured by a first priority fee mortgage encumbering a 1,896,527 SF 16-property portfolio of single tenant retail properties located in 10 states (collectively, the “Bass Pro & Cabela’s Portfolio Properties”). Promissory Note A-3(A-CP), with an original principal balance of $20,000,000, represents the Bass Pro & Cabela’s Portfolio Mortgage Loan and will be included in the UBS 2017-C5 Trust. Promissory Notes A-1, A-2, A-3(B-CP), A-3(C-CP), A-3(D-NCP), A-3(E-NCP) and A-3(F-NCP), with an aggregate original principal balance of $174,900,000, collectively represent the pari passu companion loans (collectively, the “Bass Pro & Cabela’s Portfolio Pari Passu Companion Loans”) and are currently held by GSMC, WFB and UBS AG, as further described in the Bass Pro & Cabela’s Portfolio Whole Loan Summary table below. The lenders provide no assurances that any of the non-securitized notes will not be split further. The Bass Pro & Cabela’s Portfolio Whole Loan will initially be serviced pursuant to the pooling and servicing agreement for the UBS 2017-C5 Trust, and from and after the securitization of Promissory Note A-1, will be serviced pursuant to the pooling and servicing agreement of such securitization trust. See “Description of the Mortgage Pool—The Whole Loans—The Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loans” and “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”.

 

Promissory Notes A-3(A-CP), A-3(B-CP), A-3(C-CP), A-3(D-NCP), A-3(E-NCP) and A-3(F-NCP) are collectively referred to herein as the “A-3 Notes”. Any prepayment made of the Permittp1ed Free Prepayment Amount will be allocated among Promissory Notes A-1, A-2 and the A-3 Notes in the aggregate, on a pro rata and pari passu basis. However, any such prepayments of the Permitted Free Prepayment Amount (including any prepayments made in connection with the release of any of the Bass Pro & Cabela’s Portfolio Properties) that are allocated to the A-3 Notes in the aggregate will not be allocated among the individual A-3 Notes on a pro rata and pari passu basis, but instead will generally be allocated first to Promissory Notes A-3(D-NCP), A 3(E NCP) and A-3(F-NCP), on pro rata and pari passu basis, until the principal balance of such notes has been reduced to zero, and then to Promissory Notes A 3(A-CP), A-3(B-CP) and A-3(C-CP), on pro rata and pari passu basis, until the principal balance of such notes has been reduced to zero. The maximum Permitted Free Prepayment Amount that may be allocated to the A-3 Notes in the aggregate is $7,500,000. The aggregate of the principal balances of Note A-3(D-NCP), Note A-3(E-NCP) and Note A-3(F-NCP) (collectively, the “Non-Call Protected A-3 Notes”) is also $7,500,000. As a result, it is expected that any Permitted Free Prepayment Amounts allocated to the A-3 Notes in the aggregate will generally be allocated to the Non-Call Protected A-3 Notes and will not be allocated to the Mortgage Loan (Note A-3(A-CP)), Note A-3(B-CP), or Note A-3(C-CP), unless the aggregate principal balance of the Non-Call Protected A-3 Notes was previously reduced to an amount that is less than the amount of any Permitted Free Prepayment Amount.

The property is in year 6 of the PILOT program, with the most recent tax liability equal to $8,929. According to the appraisal, the property’s tax liability will remain the same until the final tax year of the schedule, which ends November 30, 2021, at which point the appraisal estimates the tax expense will increase to $520,711.

(2)Ground rent for the Fairfield Inn & Suites Baltimore – White Marsh property was underwritten based on the average annual ground rent over the loan term of $177,710.

(3)Debt service coverage ratios and debt yields are based on the AHIP Northeast Portfolio III Whole Loan.

(1) Debt Service Coverage Ratios are updated periodically as new NOI figures become available from borrowers on an asset level. In all cases the most current DSCR provided by the Servicer is used. To the extent that no DSCR is provided by the Servicer, information from the offering document is used. The Trustee makes no representations as to the accuracy of the data provided by the borrower for this calculation.

 
     
 

(2) Anticipated Remaining Term and WAM are each calculated based upon the term from the current month to the earlier of the Anticipated Repayment Date, if applicable, and the Maturity Date.

 
     
 

(3) Data in this table was calculated by allocating pro-rata the current loan information to the properties based upon the Cut-Off Date balance of each property as disclosed in the offering document.

 
     
  The Scheduled Balance Totals reflect the aggregate balances of all pooled loans as reported in the CREFC Loan Periodic Update File. To the extent that the Scheduled Balance Total figure for the “State” and “Property” stratification tables is not equal to the sum of the scheduled balance figures for each state or property, the difference is explained by loans that have been modified into a split loan structure. The “State” and “Property” stratification tables do not include the balance of the subordinate note (sometimes called the B-piece or a “hope note”) of a loan that has been modified into a split-loan structure. Rather, the scheduled balance for each state or property only reflects the balance of the senior note (sometimes called the A-piece) of a loan that has been modified into a split-loan structure.  
     
  Note: There are no Hyper-Amortization Loans included in the Mortgage Pool.

I.Population of Mortgage Loans that Were Considered in Compiling this Report

 

1.The Special Servicer has notified the Operating Advisor that [●] Specially Serviced Loans were transferred to special servicing in the prior calendar year [INSERT YEAR].

 

(a)[●] of those Specially Serviced Loans are still being analyzed by the Special Servicer as part of the development of an Asset Status Report.

 

(b)Asset Status Reports were issued with respect to [●] of such Specially Serviced Loans. This report is based only on the Specially Serviced Loans in respect of which an Asset Status Report has been issued. The Asset Status Reports may not yet be fully implemented.

 

2.[●] non-Specially Serviced Loans were the subject of a Major Decision as to which the operating advisor has consultation rights pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

II.Executive Summary

 

Based on the requirements and qualifications set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as well as the items listed below, the Operating Advisor (in accordance with the Operating Advisor’s analysis requirements outlined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) has undertaken a limited review of the Special Servicer’s reported actions on the loans identified in this report. Based solely on such limited review and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications set forth herein, the Operating Advisor believes, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that the Special Servicer [is/is not] operating in compliance with the Servicing Standard with respect to its performance of its duties under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement during the prior calendar year on an “asset-level basis”. [The Operating Advisor believes, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that the Special Servicer has failed to materially comply with the Servicing Standard as a result of the following material deviations.]

 

[LIST OF MATERIAL DEVIATION ITEMS]

 

 

 

1       This report is an indicative report and does not reflect the final form of annual report to be used in any particular year. The Operating Advisor will have the ability to modify or alter the organization and content of any particular report, subject to the compliance with the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, including, without limitation, provisions relating to Privileged Information.

 

C-1

 

 

In addition, the Operating Advisor notes the following: [PROVIDE SUMMARY OF ANY ADDITIONAL MATERIAL INFORMATION].

 

[ADD RECOMMENDATION OF REPLACEMENT OF SPECIAL SERVICER, IF APPLICABLE]

 

In connection with the assessment set forth in this report, the Operating Advisor:

 

1.Reviewed the Asset Status Reports, the Special Servicer’s assessment of compliance report, attestation report by a third party regarding the Special Servicer’s compliance with its obligations and net present value calculations and Appraisal Reduction Amount calculations and [LIST OTHER REVIEWED INFORMATION] for the following [●] Specially Serviced Loans: [List related mortgage loans]

 

2.Consulted with the Special Servicer as provided under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Operating Advisor’s analysis of the Asset Status Reports (including related net present value calculations and Appraisal Reduction Amount calculations) related to the Specially Serviced Loans should be considered a limited investigation and not be considered a full or limited audit. For instance, we did not re-engineer the quantitative aspects of their net present value calculator, visit any property, visit the Special Servicer, visit the Directing Certificateholder or interact with any borrower. In addition, our review of the net present value calculations and Appraisal Reduction Amount calculations is limited to the mathematical accuracy of the calculations and the corresponding application of the non-discretionary portions of the applicable formulas, and as such, does not take into account the reasonableness of the discretionary portions of such formulas.

 

III.Specific Items of Review

 

In rendering our assessment herein, we examined and relied upon the accuracy and completeness of the items listed below:

 

1.The Operating Advisor reviewed the following items in connection with the generation of this report: [LIST MATERIAL ITEMS].

 

2.During the prior year, the Operating Advisor consulted with the Special Servicer regarding its strategy plan for a limited number of issues related to the following Specially Serviced Loans: [LIST]. The Operating Advisor participated in discussions and made strategic observations and recommended alternative courses of action to the extent it deemed such observations and recommendations appropriate. The Special Servicer [agreed with/did not agree with] the material recommendations made by the Operating Advisor. Such recommendations generally included the following: [LIST].

 

3.Appraisal Reduction Amount calculations and net present value calculations.

 

4.The Operating Advisor [received/did not receive] information necessary to recalculate and verify the accuracy of the mathematical calculations and the corresponding application of the non-discretionary portions of the applicable formulas required to be utilized in connection with any Appraisal Reduction Amount or net present value calculations used in the special servicer’s determination of what course of action to take in connection with the workout or liquidation of a Specially Serviced Loan prior to the utilization by the special servicer.

 

C-2

 

 

(a)The operating advisor [agrees/does not agree] with the [mathematical calculations] [and/or] [the application of the applicable non-discretionary portions of the formula] required to be utilized for such calculation.

 

(b)After consultation with the special servicer to resolve any inaccuracy in the mathematical calculations or the application of the non-discretionary portions of the related formula in arriving at those mathematical calculations, such inaccuracy [has been/ has not been] resolved.

 

5.The following is a general discussion of certain concerns raised by the Operating Advisor discussed in this report: [LIST CONCERNS].

 

6.In addition to the other information presented herein, the Operating Advisor notes the following additional items, if any: [LIST ADDITIONAL ITEMS].

 

NOTE: The Operating Advisor’s review of the above materials should be considered a limited review and not be considered a full or limited audit. For instance, we did not review underlying lease agreements or similar underlying documents, re-engineer the quantitative aspects of their net present value calculation, visit any related property, visit the Special Servicer, visit the Directing Certificateholder or interact with any borrower. In addition, our review of the net present value calculations and the corresponding application of the non-discretionary portions of the applicable formulas, and as such, does not take into account the reasonableness of the discretionary portions of such formulas.

 

IV.Qualifications and Disclaimers Related to the Work Product Undertaken and Opinions Related to this Report

 

1.As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Operating Advisor is not required to report on instances of non-compliance with, or deviations from, the Servicing Standard or the special servicer’s obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement that the Operating Advisor determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, to be immaterial.

 

2.In rendering our assessment herein, we have assumed that all executed factual statements, instruments, and other documents that we have relied upon in rendering this assessment have been executed by persons with legal capacity to execute such documents.

The Operating Advisor does not have authority to speak with the Directing Certificateholder or borrower directly. As such, the Operating Advisor relied upon the information delivered to it by the Special Servicer as well as its interaction with the Special Servicer, if any, in gathering the relevant information to generate this report. The services that we perform are not designed and cannot be relied upon to detect fraud or illegal acts should any exist.

As a result, this report may not reflect all the relevant information that the Operating Advisor is given access to by the Special Servicer.

 

6.There are many tasks that the Special Servicer undertakes on an ongoing basis related to Specially Serviced Loans. These include, but are not limited to, assumptions, ownership changes, collateral substitutions, capital reserve changes, etc. The Operating Advisor does not participate in any discussions regarding such actions. As such, Operating Advisor has not assessed the Special Servicer’s operational compliance with respect to those types of actions.

 

7.The Operating Advisor is not empowered to speak with any investors directly. If the investors have questions regarding this report, they should address such questions to the certificate administrator through the certificate administrator’s website.

Nothing is intended to or should be construed as creating a fiduciary relationship between the Operating Advisor and any Certificateholder, party or individual.

ANNEX D-1

 

MORTGAGE LOAN REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

 

As of the date specified in the MLPA or such other date as set forth below, each mortgage loan seller will make, with respect to each mortgage loan sold by it that we include in the issuing entity, representations and warranties generally to the effect set forth below in this Annex D-1. Solely for purposes of this Annex D-1 and Annex D-2, the term “Mortgage Loans” will refer to such mortgage loans sold by the applicable mortgage loan seller. The exceptions to the representations and warranties set forth below are set forth in Annex D-2 attached to this prospectus. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Annex D-1 will have the meanings set forth in this prospectus or, if not defined in this prospectus, in the applicable MLPA or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Each MLPA, together with the related representations and warranties, serves to contractually allocate risk between the mortgage loan seller, on the one hand, and the issuing entity, on the other. Disclosure regarding the representations and warranties is set forth below for the sole purpose of describing some of the terms and conditions of that risk allocation. The presentation of representations and warranties below is not intended as statements regarding the actual characteristics of the mortgage loans, the mortgaged properties or other matters. We cannot assure you that the mortgage loans actually conform to the statements made in the representations and warranties that we present below.

 

1.    Whole Loan; Ownership of Mortgage Loans. Except with respect to a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, each Mortgage Loan is a whole loan and not a participation interest in a Mortgage Loan. At the time of the sale, transfer and assignment to Purchaser, no Mortgage Note or Mortgage was subject to any assignment (other than assignments to Seller), participation or pledge, and Seller had good title to, and was the sole owner of, each Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all liens, charges, pledges, encumbrances, participations, any other ownership interests on, in or to such Mortgage Loan other than any servicing rights appointment or similar agreement. Seller has full right and authority to sell, assign and transfer each Mortgage Loan, and the assignment to Purchaser constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment of such Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all liens, pledges, charges or security interests of any nature encumbering such Mortgage Loan.

 

2.    Mortgage Loan Document Status. Each related Mortgage Note, Mortgage, Assignment of Leases (if a separate instrument), guaranty and other agreement executed by or on behalf of the related Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor in connection with such Mortgage Loan is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the related Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor (subject to any non-recourse provisions contained in any of the foregoing agreements and any applicable state anti-deficiency or market value limit deficiency legislation), as applicable, and is enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (i) as such enforcement may be limited by (a) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (b) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and (ii) that certain provisions in such Mortgage Loan documents (including, without limitation, provisions requiring the payment of default interest, late fees or prepayment/yield maintenance fees, charges and/or premiums) are, or may be, further limited or rendered unenforceable by or under applicable law, but (subject to the limitations set forth in clause (i) above) such limitations or unenforceability will not render such Mortgage Loan documents invalid as a

 

D-1-1

 

 

whole or materially interfere with the Mortgagee’s realization of the principal benefits and/or security provided thereby (clauses (i) and (ii) collectively, the “Standard Qualifications”).

 

Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentences, there is no valid offset, defense, counterclaim or right of rescission available to the related Mortgagor with respect to any of the related Mortgage Notes, Mortgages or other Mortgage Loan documents, including, without limitation, any such valid offset, defense, counterclaim or right based on intentional fraud by Seller in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan, that would deny the Mortgagee the principal benefits intended to be provided by the Mortgage Note, Mortgage or other Mortgage Loan documents.

 

3.    Mortgage Provisions. The Mortgage Loan documents for each Mortgage Loan contain provisions that render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the practical realization against the Mortgaged Property of the principal benefits of the security intended to be provided thereby, including realization by judicial or, if applicable, nonjudicial foreclosure subject to the limitations set forth in the Standard Qualifications.

 

4.    Mortgage Status; Waivers and Modifications. Since origination and except by written instruments set forth in the related Mortgage File (a) the material terms of such Mortgage, Mortgage Note, Mortgage Loan guaranty, and related Mortgage Loan documents have not been waived, impaired, modified, altered, satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded in any respect which materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage; (b) no related Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof has been released from the lien of the related Mortgage in any manner which materially interferes with the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or the use or operation of the remaining portion of such Mortgaged Property; and (c) neither the related Mortgagor nor the related guarantor has been released from its material obligations under the Mortgage Loan. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, except as contained in a written document included in the Mortgage File, there have been no modifications, amendments or waivers consented to by Seller on or after the Cut-off Date that could be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on such Mortgage Loan.

 

5.    Lien; Valid Assignment. Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each assignment of Mortgage and assignment of Assignment of Leases from Seller constitutes a legal, valid and binding assignment from Seller. Each related Mortgage and Assignment of Leases is freely assignable without the consent of the related Mortgagor. Each related Mortgage is a legal, valid and enforceable first lien on the related Mortgagor’s fee (or with respect to those Mortgage Loans described in paragraph (34) hereof, leasehold) interest in the Mortgaged Property in the principal amount of such Mortgage Loan or allocated loan amount (subject only to Permitted Encumbrances (as defined below) and the exceptions to paragraph (6) set forth in Annex D-2 attached to this prospectus (each such exception, a “Title Exception”)), except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Standard Qualifications. Such Mortgaged Property (subject to and excepting Permitted Encumbrances and the Title Exceptions) as of origination was, and as of the Cut-off Date, to Seller’s knowledge, is free and clear of any recorded mechanics’ liens, recorded materialmen’s liens and other recorded encumbrances which are prior to or equal with the lien of the related Mortgage, except those which are bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by a lender’s title insurance policy (as described below), and, to Seller’s knowledge and subject to the rights of tenants (as tenants only) (subject to and excepting Permitted Encumbrances and the Title Exceptions), no rights exist which under law could give rise to any such lien or encumbrance that would be prior to or equal with the lien of the related Mortgage, except those which are bonded over, escrowed for or insured against by a lender’s title insurance policy (as described below). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in rents or other personal property to the

 

D-1-2

 

 

extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of UCC financing statements is required in order to effect such perfection.

 

6.    Permitted Liens; Title Insurance. Each Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan is covered by an American Land Title Association loan title insurance policy or a comparable form of loan title insurance policy approved for use in the applicable jurisdiction (or, if such policy is yet to be issued, by a pro forma policy, a preliminary title policy with escrow instructions or a “marked up” commitment, in each case binding on the title insurer) (the “Title Policy”) in the original principal amount of such Mortgage Loan (or with respect to a Mortgage Loan secured by multiple properties, an amount equal to at least the allocated loan amount with respect to the Title Policy for each such property) after all advances of principal (including any advances held in escrow or reserves), that insures for the benefit of the owner of the indebtedness secured by the Mortgage, the first priority lien of the Mortgage, which lien is subject only to (a) the lien of current real property taxes, water charges, sewer rents and assessments not yet due and payable; (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters of public record; (c) the exceptions (general and specific) and exclusions set forth in such Title Policy; (d) other matters to which like properties are commonly subject; (e) the rights of tenants (as tenants only) under leases (including subleases) pertaining to the related Mortgaged Property and condominium declarations; and (f) if the related Mortgage Loan constitutes a Crossed Mortgage Loan, the lien of the Mortgage for the related Crossed Mortgage Loan or Crossed Mortgage Loans; provided that none of such items (a) through (f), individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely interfere with the value or current use of the Mortgaged Property, the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage, or the current ability of the related Mortgaged Property to generate net cash flow sufficient to service the related Mortgage Loan, or the Mortgagor’s ability to pay its obligations when they become due (collectively, the “Permitted Encumbrances”). For purposes of clause (a) of the immediately preceding sentence, any such taxes, assessments and other charges shall not be considered due and payable until the date on which interest and/or penalties would be payable thereon. Except as contemplated by clause (f) of the preceding sentence none of the Permitted Encumbrances are mortgage liens that are senior to or coordinate and co-equal with the lien of the related Mortgage. Such Title Policy (or, if it has yet to be issued, the coverage to be provided thereby) is in full force and effect, all premiums thereon have been paid, no claims have been made by Seller thereunder and no claims have been paid thereunder. Neither Seller nor, to Seller’s knowledge, any other holder of the Mortgage Loan, has done, by act or omission, anything that would materially impair the coverage under such Title Policy.

 

7.    Junior Liens. It being understood that Subordinate Companion Loans secured by the same Mortgage as a Mortgage Loan are not subordinate mortgages or junior liens, except for any Crossed Mortgage Loans, there are, as of origination, and to Seller’s knowledge, as of the Cut-off Date, no subordinate mortgages or junior liens securing the payment of money encumbering the related Mortgaged Property (other than Permitted Encumbrances and the Title Exceptions, taxes and assessments, mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens (which are the subject of the representation in paragraph (5) above), and equipment and other personal property financing). Except as set forth in Annex D-2 attached to this prospectus, Seller has no knowledge of any mezzanine debt secured directly by interests in the related Mortgagor.

 

8.    Assignment of Leases and Rents. There exists as part of the related Mortgage File an Assignment of Leases (either as a separate instrument or incorporated into the related Mortgage). Subject to the Permitted Encumbrances and the Title Exceptions, each related Assignment of Leases creates a valid first-priority collateral assignment of, or a valid first-priority lien or security interest in, rents and certain rights under the related lease or leases,

 

D-1-3

 

 

subject only to a license granted to the related Mortgagor to exercise certain rights and to perform certain obligations of the lessor under such lease or leases, including the right to operate the related leased property, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Standard Qualifications. The related Mortgage or related Assignment of Leases, subject to applicable law and the Standard Qualifications, provides that, upon an event of default under the Mortgage Loan, a receiver is permitted to be appointed for the collection of rents or for the related Mortgagee to enter into possession to collect the rents or for rents to be paid directly to the Mortgagee.

 

9.    UCC Filings. If the related Mortgaged Property is operated as a hospitality property, Seller has filed and/or recorded or caused to be filed and/or recorded (or, if not filed and/or recorded, has submitted or caused to be submitted in proper form for filing and/or recording), UCC financing statements in the appropriate public filing and/or recording offices necessary at the time of the origination of the Mortgage Loan to perfect a valid security interest in all items of physical personal property reasonably necessary to operate such Mortgaged Property owned by such Mortgagor and located on the related Mortgaged Property (other than any non-material personal property, any personal property subject to a purchase money security interest, a sale and leaseback financing arrangement as permitted under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents or any other personal property leases applicable to such personal property), to the extent perfection may be effected pursuant to applicable law by recording or filing, as the case may be. Subject to the Standard Qualifications, each related Mortgage (or equivalent document) creates a valid and enforceable lien and security interest on the items of personalty described above. No representation is made as to the perfection of any security interest in rents or other personal property to the extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of UCC financing statements are required in order to effect such perfection.

 

10. Condition of Property. Seller or the originator of the Mortgage Loan inspected or caused to be inspected each related Mortgaged Property within six months of origination of the Mortgage Loan and within twelve months of the Cut-off Date.

 

An engineering report or property condition assessment was prepared in connection with the origination of each Mortgage Loan no more than twelve months prior to the Cut-off Date. To Seller’s knowledge, based solely upon due diligence customarily performed in connection with the origination of comparable mortgage loans, as of the Closing Date, each related Mortgaged Property was free and clear of any material damage (other than (i) deferred maintenance for which escrows were established at origination and (ii) any damage fully covered by insurance) that would affect materially and adversely the use or value of such Mortgaged Property as security for the Mortgage Loan.

 

11. Taxes and Assessments. All taxes, governmental assessments and other outstanding governmental charges (including, without limitation, water and sewage charges), or installments thereof, which could be a lien on the related Mortgaged Property that would be of equal or superior priority to the lien of the Mortgage and that prior to the Cut-off Date have become delinquent in respect of each related Mortgaged Property have been paid, or an escrow of funds has been established in an amount sufficient to cover such payments and reasonably estimated interest and penalties, if any, thereon. For purposes of this representation and warranty, real estate taxes and governmental assessments and other outstanding governmental charges and installments thereof shall not be considered delinquent until the earlier of (a) the date on which interest and/or penalties would first be payable thereon and (b) the date on which enforcement action is entitled to be taken by the related taxing authority.

12. Condemnation. As of the date of origination and to Seller’s knowledge as of the Cut-off Date, there is no proceeding pending, and, to Seller’s knowledge as of the date of origination and as of the Cut-off Date, there is no proceeding threatened, for the total or partial condemnation of such Mortgaged Property that would have a material adverse effect on the value, use or operation of the Mortgaged Property.

 

13. Actions Concerning Mortgage Loan. As of the date of origination and to Seller’s knowledge as of the Cut-off Date, there was no pending or filed action, suit or proceeding, arbitration or governmental investigation involving any Mortgagor, guarantor or Mortgagor’s interest in the Mortgaged Property, an adverse outcome of which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect (a) such Mortgagor’s title to the Mortgaged Property, (b) the validity or enforceability of the Mortgage, (c) such Mortgagor’s ability to perform under the related Mortgage Loan, (d) such guarantor’s ability to perform under the related guaranty, (e) the principal benefit of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage Loan documents or (f) the current principal use of the Mortgaged Property.

 

14. Escrow Deposits. All escrow deposits and escrow payments required to be escrowed with lender pursuant to each Mortgage Loan (including any capital improvements and environmental remediation reserves) are in the possession, or under the control, of Seller or its servicer, and there are no deficiencies or delinquencies (subject to any applicable grace or cure periods) in connection therewith, and all such escrows and deposits (or the right thereto) that are required to be escrowed with lender under the related Mortgage Loan documents are being conveyed by Seller to Purchaser or its servicer.

 

15. No Holdbacks. The principal amount of the Mortgage Loan stated on the Mortgage Loan Schedule has been fully disbursed as of the Closing Date and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder (except in those cases where the full amount of the Mortgage Loan has been disbursed but a portion thereof is being held in escrow or reserve accounts pending the satisfaction of certain conditions relating to leasing, repairs, occupancy, performance or other matters with respect to the related Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagor or other considerations determined by Seller to merit such holdback).

 

16. Insurance. Each related Mortgaged Property is, and is required pursuant to the related Mortgage to be, insured by a property insurance policy providing coverage for loss in accordance with coverage found under a “special cause of loss form” or “all risk form” that includes replacement cost valuation issued by an insurer meeting the requirements of the related Mortgage Loan documents and having a claims-paying or financial strength rating of at least “A-:VIII” from A.M. Best Company or “A3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s or “A-” from S&P (collectively the “Insurance Rating Requirements”), in an amount (subject to a customary deductible) not less than the lesser of (1) the original principal balance of the Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, as applicable, and (2) the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of the improvements, furniture, furnishings, fixtures and equipment owned by the Mortgagor and included in the Mortgaged Property (with no deduction for physical depreciation), but, in any event, not less than the amount necessary, or containing such endorsements as are necessary, to avoid the operation of any coinsurance provisions with respect to the related Mortgaged Property.

 

Each related Mortgaged Property is also covered, and required to be covered pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan documents, by business interruption or rental loss insurance which (subject to a customary deductible) covers a period of not less than 12 months (or with respect to each Mortgage Loan on a single asset with a principal balance of $50 million or more, 18 months).

 

D-1-5

 

 

If any material part of the improvements, exclusive of a parking lot, located on a Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards, the related Mortgagor is required to maintain insurance in an amount at least equal to the least of (A) the maximum amount available under the National Flood Insurance Program plus any such additional excess flood coverage in an amount as is generally required by prudent institutional commercial mortgage lenders originating mortgage loans for securitization, (B) the outstanding principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and (C) the insurable value of the Mortgaged Property.

 

If the Mortgaged Property is located within 25 miles of the coast of the Gulf of Mexico or the Atlantic coast of Florida, Georgia, South Carolina or North Carolina, the related Mortgagor is required to maintain coverage for windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or “named storms” issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements or endorsement covering damage from windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or named storms by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements, in an amount not less than the lesser of (1) the original principal balance of the Mortgage Loan and (2) the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of the improvements, furniture, furnishings, fixtures and equipment owned by the Mortgagor and included in the Mortgaged Property (with no deduction for physical depreciation), but, in any event, not less than the amount necessary or containing such endorsements as are necessary to avoid the operation of any coinsurance provisions with respect to the related Mortgaged Property.

 

The Mortgaged Property is covered, and required to be covered pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan documents, by a commercial general liability insurance policy issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements including coverage for property damage, contractual damage and personal injury (including bodily injury and death) in amounts as are generally required by Seller for similar commercial and multifamily loans intended for securitization, and in any event not less than $1 million per occurrence and $2 million in the aggregate.

 

An architectural or engineering consultant has performed an analysis of each of the Mortgaged Properties located in seismic zones 3 or 4 in order to evaluate the structural and seismic condition of such property, for the sole purpose of assessing the probable maximum loss or scenario expected loss (“PML”) for the Mortgaged Property in the event of an earthquake. In such instance, the PML was based on a 475-year return period, an exposure period of 50 years and a 10% probability of exceedance. If the resulting report concluded that the PML would exceed 20% of the amount of the replacement costs of the improvements, earthquake insurance on such Mortgaged Property was obtained by an insurer rated at least “A:VIII” by A.M. Best Company or “A3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s or “A-” by S&P in an amount not less than 100% of the PML.

 

The Mortgage Loan documents require insurance proceeds (or an amount equal to such insurance proceeds) in respect of a property loss to be applied either (a) to the repair or restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property, with respect to all property losses in excess of 5% of the then outstanding principal amount of the related Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, as applicable, the lender (or a trustee appointed by it) having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as the repair or restoration progresses, or (b) to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of such Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, as applicable, together with any accrued interest thereon.

 

All premiums on all insurance policies referred to in this section that are required by the related Mortgage Loan documents to be paid as of the Cut-off Date have been paid, and such insurance policies name the lender under the Mortgage Loan and its successors and assigns as a loss payee under a mortgagee endorsement clause or, in the case of the

 

D-1-6

 

 

general liability insurance policy, as named or additional insured. Such insurance policies will inure to the benefit of the Trustee. Each related Mortgage Loan obligates the related Mortgagor to maintain all such insurance and, at such Mortgagor’s failure to do so, authorizes the lender to maintain such insurance at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense and to charge such Mortgagor for related premiums. All such insurance policies (other than commercial liability policies) require at least 10 days’ prior notice to the lender of termination or cancellation arising because of nonpayment of a premium and at least 30 days prior notice to the lender of termination or cancellation (or such lesser period, not less than 10 days, as may be required by applicable law) arising for any reason other than non-payment of a premium and no such notice has been received by Seller.

 

17. Access; Utilities; Separate Tax Lots. Each Mortgaged Property (a) is located on or adjacent to a public road and has direct legal access to such road, or has access via an irrevocable easement or irrevocable right of way permitting ingress and egress to/from a public road, (b) is served by or has uninhibited access rights to public or private water and sewer (or well and septic) and all required utilities, all of which are adequate for the current use of the Mortgaged Property, and (c) constitutes one or more separate tax parcels which do not include any property which is not part of the Mortgaged Property or is subject to an endorsement under the related Title Policy insuring the Mortgaged Property, or in certain cases, an application has been, or will be, made to the applicable governing authority for creation of separate tax lots, in which case the Mortgage Loan requires the Mortgagor to escrow an amount sufficient to pay taxes for the existing tax parcel of which the Mortgaged Property is a part until the separate tax lots are created.

 

18. No Encroachments. To Seller’s knowledge based solely on surveys obtained in connection with origination and the lender’s Title Policy (or, if such policy is not yet issued, a pro forma title policy, a preliminary title policy with escrow instructions or a “marked up” commitment) obtained in connection with the origination of each Mortgage Loan, all material improvements that were included for the purpose of determining the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property at the time of the origination of such Mortgage Loan are within the boundaries of the related Mortgaged Property, except encroachments that do not materially and adversely affect the value or current use of such Mortgaged Property or for which insurance or endorsements were obtained under the Title Policy. No improvements on adjoining parcels encroach onto the related Mortgaged Property except for encroachments that do not materially and adversely affect the value or current use of such Mortgaged Property or for which insurance or endorsements were obtained under the Title Policy. No improvements encroach upon any easements except for encroachments the removal of which would not materially and adversely affect the value or current use of such Mortgaged Property or for which insurance or endorsements obtained with respect to the Title Policy.

 

19. No Contingent Interest or Equity Participation. No Mortgage Loan has a shared appreciation feature, any other contingent interest feature or a negative amortization feature (except that an ARD Loan may provide for the accrual of the portion of interest in excess of the rate in effect prior to the Anticipated Repayment Date) or an equity participation by Seller.

 

20. REMIC. The Mortgage Loan is a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code (but determined without regard to the rule in the U.S. Department of Treasury regulations (the “Treasury Regulations”) Section 1.860G-2(f)(2) that treats certain defective mortgage loans as qualified mortgages), and, accordingly, (A) the issue price of the Mortgage Loan to the related Mortgagor at origination did not exceed the non-contingent principal amount of the Mortgage Loan and (B) either: (a) such Mortgage Loan is secured by an interest in real property (including permanently affixed buildings and distinct

 

D-1-7

 

 

structural components, such as wiring, plumbing systems and central heating and air-conditioning systems, that are integrated into such buildings, serve such buildings in their passive functions and do not produce or contribute to the production of income other than consideration for the use or occupancy of space, but excluding personal property) having a fair market value (i) at the date the Mortgage Loan (or related Whole Loan) was originated at least equal to 80% of the adjusted issue price of the Mortgage Loan (or related Whole Loan) on such date or (ii) at the Closing Date at least equal to 80% of the adjusted issue price of the Mortgage Loan (or related Whole Loan) on such date, provided that for purposes hereof, the fair market value of the real property interest must first be reduced by (A) the amount of any lien on the real property interest that is senior to the Mortgage Loan and (B) a proportionate amount of any lien that is in parity with the Mortgage Loan; or (b) substantially all of the proceeds of such Mortgage Loan were used to acquire, improve or protect the real property which served as the only security for such Mortgage Loan (other than a recourse feature or other third-party credit enhancement within the meaning of Section 1.860G-2(a)(1)(ii) of the Treasury Regulations). If the Mortgage Loan was “significantly modified” prior to the Closing Date so as to result in a taxable exchange under Section 1001 of the Code, it either (x) was modified as a result of the default or reasonably foreseeable default of such Mortgage Loan or (y) satisfies the provisions of either sub-clause (B)(a)(i) above (substituting the date of the last such modification for the date the Mortgage Loan was originated) or sub-clause (B)(a)(ii), including the proviso thereto. Any prepayment premium and yield maintenance charges applicable to the Mortgage Loan constitute “customary prepayment penalties” within the meaning of Section 1.860G-1(b)(2) of the Treasury Regulations. All terms used in this paragraph shall have the same meanings as set forth in the related Treasury Regulations.

 

21. Compliance with Certain Laws. The Mortgage Rate (exclusive of any default interest, late charges, yield maintenance charge, or prepayment premiums) of such Mortgage Loan complied as of the date of origination with, or was exempt from, applicable state or federal laws, regulations and other requirements pertaining to usury.

 

22. Authorized to do Business. To the extent required under applicable law, as of the Cut-off Date or as of the date that such entity held the Mortgage Note, each holder of the Mortgage Note was authorized to transact and do business in the jurisdiction in which each related Mortgaged Property is located, or the failure to be so authorized does not materially and adversely affect the enforceability of such Mortgage Loan by the Trust.

 

23. Trustee under Deed of Trust. With respect to each Mortgage which is a deed of trust, as of the date of origination and, to Seller’s knowledge, as of the Closing Date, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, currently so serves and is named in the deed of trust or has been substituted in accordance with the Mortgage and applicable law or may be substituted in accordance with the Mortgage and applicable law by the related Mortgagee, and, except in connection with a trustee’s sale after a default by the related Mortgagor or in connection with any full or partial release of the related Mortgaged Property or security for the related Mortgage Loan, no fees are payable to such trustee except for de minimis fees paid or such fees as required by the applicable jurisdiction which are to be paid by such Mortgagor in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan documents.

 

24. Local Law Compliance. To Seller’s knowledge, based upon any of a letter from any governmental authorities, a legal opinion, an architect’s letter, a zoning consultant’s report, an endorsement to the related Title Policy, or other affirmative investigation of local law compliance consistent with the investigation conducted by Seller for similar commercial and multifamily mortgage loans intended for securitization, the improvements located on or forming part of each Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan as of the date of origination of such Mortgage Loan and as of the Cut-off Date, there are no material

 

D-1-8

 

 

violations of applicable zoning ordinances, building codes and land laws (collectively “Zoning Regulations”) other than those which (i) are insured by the Title Policy or a law and ordinance insurance policy or (ii) would not have a material adverse effect on the Mortgage Loan. The terms of the Mortgage Loan documents require the Mortgagor to comply in all material respects with all applicable governmental regulations, zoning and building laws.

 

25. Licenses and Permits. Each Mortgagor covenants in the Mortgage Loan documents that it shall keep all material licenses, permits and applicable governmental authorizations necessary for its operation of the Mortgaged Property in full force and effect, and to Seller’s knowledge based upon a letter from any government authorities or other affirmative investigation of local law compliance consistent with the investigation conducted by Seller for similar commercial and multifamily mortgage loans intended for securitization, all such material licenses, permits and applicable governmental authorizations are in effect. The Mortgage Loan requires the related Mortgagor to be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged Property is located.

 

26. Recourse Obligations. The Mortgage Loan documents for each Mortgage Loan provide that such Mortgage Loan (a) becomes full recourse to the Mortgagor and guarantor (which is a natural person or persons, or an entity distinct from the Mortgagor (but may be affiliated with the Mortgagor) that has assets other than equity in the related Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis) in any of the following events (or negotiated provisions of substantially similar effect): (i) if any voluntary petition for bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or liquidation pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law, shall be filed by the Mortgagor; (ii) the Mortgagor or guarantor shall have colluded with (or, alternatively, solicited or caused to be solicited) other creditors to cause an involuntary bankruptcy filing with respect to the Mortgagor or (iii) voluntary transfers of either the Mortgaged Property or equity interests in the Mortgagor made in violation of the Mortgage Loan documents; and (b) contains provisions providing for recourse against the Mortgagor and guarantor (which is a natural person or persons, or an entity distinct from the Mortgagor (but may be affiliated with the Mortgagor) that has assets other than equity in the related Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis), for losses and damages sustained by reason of the following (or negotiated provisions of substantially similar effect): (i) the Mortgagor’s misappropriation of rents during the continuation of an event of default under the Mortgage Loan; (ii) the Mortgagor’s misappropriation of (A) insurance proceeds or condemnation awards or (B) security deposits or, alternatively, the failure of any security deposits to be delivered to lender upon foreclosure or action in lieu thereof (except to the extent applied in accordance with leases prior to a Mortgage Loan event of default); (iii) the Mortgagor’s fraud or intentional material misrepresentation; (iv) breaches of the environmental covenants in the Mortgage Loan documents; or (v) the Mortgagor’s commission of intentional material physical waste at the Mortgaged Property.

 

27. Mortgage Releases. The terms of the related Mortgage or related Mortgage Loan documents do not provide for release of any material portion of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage except (a) a partial release, accompanied by principal repayment, or partial Defeasance (as defined in paragraph (32) below), of not less than a specified percentage at least equal to the lesser of (i) 110% of the related allocated loan amount of such portion of the Mortgaged Property and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, as applicable, (b) upon payment in full of such Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, as applicable, (c) upon a Defeasance (as defined in paragraph (32) below), (d) releases of out-parcels that are unimproved or other portions of the Mortgaged Property which will not have a material adverse effect on the underwritten value of the Mortgaged Property and which were not afforded any material value in the appraisal obtained at the origination of the Mortgage Loan and are not necessary for

 

D-1-9

 

 

physical access to the Mortgaged Property or compliance with zoning requirements, or (e) as required pursuant to an order of condemnation. With respect to any partial release under the preceding clauses (a) or (d), either: (x) such release of collateral (I) would not constitute a “significant modification” of the subject Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Section 1.860G-2(b)(2) of the Treasury Regulations and (II) would not cause the subject Mortgage Loan to fail to be a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3)(A) of the Code; or (y) the Mortgagee or servicer can, in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan documents, condition such release of collateral on the related Mortgagor’s delivery of an opinion of tax counsel to the effect specified in the immediately preceding clause (x). For purposes of the preceding clause (x), if the fair market value of the real property constituting such Mortgaged Property (reduced by (1) the amount of any lien on the real property that is senior to the Mortgage Loan and (2) a proportionate amount of any lien on real property that is in parity with the Mortgage Loan) after the release is not equal to at least 80% of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, as applicable, outstanding after the release, the Mortgagor is required to make a payment of principal in an amount not less than the amount required by the REMIC Provisions.

 

In the case of any Mortgage Loan, in the event of a taking of any portion of a Mortgaged Property by a State or any political subdivision or authority thereof, whether by legal proceeding or by agreement, the Mortgagor can be required to pay down the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, as applicable, in an amount not less than the amount required by the loan-to-value ratio and other requirements of the REMIC Provisions and, to such extent, condemnation awards may not be required to be applied to the restoration of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgagor, if, immediately after the release of such portion of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of the Mortgage (but taking into account the planned restoration) the fair market value of the real property constituting the remaining Mortgaged Property (reduced by (1) the amount of any lien on the real property that is senior to the Mortgage Loan and (2) a proportionate amount of any lien on real property that is in parity with the Mortgage Loan) is not equal to at least 80% of the remaining principal balance of the Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, as applicable.

 

No Mortgage Loan that is secured by more than one Mortgaged Property or that is a Crossed Mortgage Loan permits the release of cross-collateralization of the related Mortgaged Properties or a portion thereof, including due to a partial condemnation, other than in compliance with loan-to-value ratio and other requirements of the REMIC Provisions.

 

28. Financial Reporting and Rent Rolls. The Mortgage Loan documents require the Mortgagor to provide the owner or holder of the Mortgage Loan with quarterly (other than for single-tenant properties) and annual operating statements, and quarterly (other than for single-tenant properties) rent rolls for properties that have leases contributing more than 5% of the in-place base rent and annual financial statements, which annual financial statements (i) with respect to each Mortgage Loan with more than one Mortgagor are in the form of either an individual or combined annual balance sheet of the Mortgagor entities (and no other entities), together with the related combined or individual statements of operations, members’ capital and cash flows, including a combined or individual balance sheet and statement of income for the Mortgaged Properties on a combined or individual basis and (ii) with respect to each Mortgage Loan with an original principal balance greater than $50 million shall be audited by an independent certified public accountant upon the request of the owner or holder of the Mortgage Loan.

 

29. Acts of Terrorism Exclusion. With respect to each Mortgage Loan over $20 million, and to Seller’s knowledge with respect to each Mortgage Loan of $20 million or less, as of origination, the related special-form all-risk insurance policy and business interruption policy (issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements) do not specifically

 

D-1-10

 

 

exclude Acts of Terrorism, as defined in the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as amended by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2007 and the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2015 (collectively referred to as “TRIA”), from coverage, or if such coverage is excluded, it is covered by a separate terrorism insurance policy. With respect to each Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage Loan documents do not expressly waive or prohibit the Mortgagee from requiring coverage for Acts of Terrorism, as defined in TRIA, or damages related thereto except to the extent that any right to require such coverage may be limited by commercial availability on commercially reasonable terms; provided that if TRIA or a similar or subsequent statute is not in effect, then, provided that terrorism insurance is commercially available, the Mortgagor under each Mortgage Loan is required to carry terrorism insurance, but in such event the Mortgagor shall not be required to spend on terrorism insurance coverage more than two times the amount of the insurance premium that is payable in respect of the property and business interruption/rental loss insurance required under the related Mortgage Loan documents (without giving effect to the cost of terrorism and earthquake components of such casualty and business interruption/rental loss insurance) at the time of the origination of the Mortgage Loan, and if the cost of terrorism insurance exceeds such amount, the Mortgagor is required to purchase the maximum amount of terrorism insurance available with funds equal to such amount.

 

30. Due-on-Sale or Encumbrance. Subject to specific exceptions set forth below, each Mortgage Loan contains a “due-on-sale” or other such provision for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan if, without the consent of the holder of the Mortgage (which consent, in some cases, may not be unreasonably withheld) and/or complying with the requirements of the related Mortgage Loan documents (which provide for transfers without the consent of the lender which are customarily acceptable to Seller lending on the security of property comparable to the related Mortgaged Property, including, without limitation, transfers of worn-out or obsolete furnishings, fixtures, or equipment promptly replaced with property of equivalent value and functionality and transfers by leases entered into in accordance with the Mortgage Loan documents), (a) the related Mortgaged Property, or any equity interest of greater than 50% in the related Mortgagor, is directly or indirectly pledged, transferred or sold, other than as related to (i) family and estate planning transfers or transfers upon death or legal incapacity, (ii) transfers to certain affiliates as defined in the related Mortgage Loan documents, (iii) transfers of less than, or other than, a controlling interest in the related Mortgagor, (iv) transfers to another holder of direct or indirect equity in the Mortgagor, a specific Person designated in the related Mortgage Loan documents or a Person satisfying specific criteria identified in the related Mortgage Loan documents, such as a qualified equityholder, (v) transfers of stock or similar equity units in publicly traded companies or (vi) a substitution or release of collateral within the parameters of paragraphs (27) and (32) herein or the exceptions thereto set forth in Annex D-2 attached to this prospectus, or (vii) by reason of any mezzanine debt that existed at the origination of the related Mortgage Loan, or future permitted mezzanine debt, in any event as set forth on the applicable tables under “Description of the Mortgage Pool—Additional Indebtedness—Mezzanine Indebtedness” or (b) the related Mortgaged Property is encumbered with a subordinate lien or security interest against the related Mortgaged Property, other than (i) any Serviced Companion Loan or Non-Serviced Companion Loan or any subordinate debt that existed at origination and is permitted under the related Mortgage Loan documents, (ii) purchase money security interests, (iii) any Crossed Mortgage Loan, as set forth on Annex A-1 to the prospectus or (iv) Permitted Encumbrances. The Mortgage or other Mortgage Loan documents provide that to the extent any Rating Agency fees are incurred in connection with the review of and consent to any transfer or encumbrance, the Mortgagor is

 

D-1-11

 

 

responsible for such payment along with all other reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Mortgagee relative to such transfer or encumbrance.

 

31. Single-Purpose Entity. The Mortgage Loan documents require the Mortgagor to be a Single-Purpose Entity for at least as long as the Mortgage Loan is outstanding. Both the Mortgage Loan documents and the organizational documents of the Mortgagor with respect to each Mortgage Loan with a Cut-off Date Balance in excess of $5 million provide that the Mortgagor is a Single-Purpose Entity, and each Mortgage Loan with a Cut-off Date Balance of $30 million or more has a counsel’s opinion regarding non-consolidation of the Mortgagor. For this purpose, a “Single-Purpose Entity” shall mean an entity, other than an individual, whose organizational documents (or if the Mortgage Loan has a Cut-off Date Balance equal to $5 million or less, its organizational documents or the related Mortgage Loan documents) provide substantially to the effect that it was formed or organized solely for the purpose of owning and operating one or more of the Mortgaged Properties securing the Mortgage Loans and prohibit it from engaging in any business unrelated to such Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties, and whose organizational documents further provide, or which entity represented in the related Mortgage Loan documents, substantially to the effect that it does not have any assets other than those related to its interest in and operation of such Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties, or any indebtedness other than as permitted by the related Mortgage(s) or the other related Mortgage Loan documents, that it has its own books and records and accounts separate and apart from those of any other person (other than a Mortgagor for a Crossed Mortgage Loan), and that it holds itself out as a legal entity, separate and apart from any other person or entity.

 

32. Defeasance. With respect to any Mortgage Loan that, pursuant to the Mortgage Loan documents, can be defeased (a “Defeasance”), (i) the Mortgage Loan documents provide for Defeasance as a unilateral right of the Mortgagor, subject to satisfaction of conditions specified in the Mortgage Loan documents; (ii) the Mortgage Loan cannot be defeased within two years after the Closing Date; (iii) the Mortgagor is permitted to pledge only United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii) of the Treasury Regulations, the revenues from which will, in the case of a full Defeasance, be sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the Mortgage Loan when due, including the entire remaining principal balance on the maturity date (or on or after the first date on which payment may be made without payment of a yield maintenance charge or prepayment penalty) or, if the Mortgage Loan is an ARD Loan, the entire principal balance outstanding on the Anticipated Repayment Date (or on or after the first date on which payment may be made without payment of a yield maintenance charge or prepayment penalty), and if the Mortgage Loan permits partial releases of real property in connection with partial Defeasance, the revenues from the collateral will be sufficient to pay all such scheduled payments calculated on a principal amount equal to a specified percentage at least equal to the lesser of (a) 110% of the allocated loan amount for the real property to be released and (b) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, as applicable; (iv) the defeasance collateral is not permitted to be subject to prepayment, call, or early redemption that results in revenues from such collateral that are insufficient to pay all applicable payments described in clause (iii) above; (v) the Mortgagor is required to provide a certification from an independent certified public accountant that the defeasance collateral is sufficient to make all applicable payments described in clause (iii) above; (vi) if the Mortgagor would continue to own assets in addition to the defeasance collateral, the portion of the Mortgage Loan secured by defeasance collateral is required to be assumed (or the Mortgagee may require such assumption) by a Single-Purpose Entity; (vii) the Mortgagor is required to provide an opinion of counsel that the Mortgagee has a perfected security interest in such collateral prior to any other claim or interest; and (viii) the Mortgagor is required to pay all rating agency fees associated with Defeasance (if rating

 

D-1-12

 

 

confirmation is a specific condition precedent thereto) and all other reasonable expenses associated with Defeasance, including, but not limited to, accountant’s fees and opinions of counsel.

 

33. Fixed Interest Rates. Each Mortgage Loan bears interest at a rate that remains fixed throughout the remaining term of such Mortgage Loan, except in the case of ARD loans and situations where default interest is imposed.

 

34. Ground Leases. For purposes of this Annex D-1, a “Ground Lease” shall mean a lease creating a leasehold estate in real property where the fee owner as the ground lessor conveys for a term or terms of years its entire interest in the land (or, with respect to air rights leases, the air) and buildings and other improvements, if any, comprising the premises demised under such lease to the ground lessee (who may, in certain circumstances, own the building and improvements on the land), subject to the reversionary interest of the ground lessor as fee owner and does not include industrial development agency or similar leases for purposes of conferring a tax abatement or other benefit.

 

With respect to any Mortgage Loan where the Mortgage Loan is secured by a leasehold estate under a Ground Lease in whole or in part, and the related Mortgage does not also encumber the related lessor’s fee interest in such Mortgaged Property, based upon the terms of the Ground Lease and any estoppel or other agreement received from the ground lessor in favor of Seller, its successors and assigns, Seller represents and warrants that:

 

(a)  The Ground Lease or a memorandum regarding such Ground Lease has been duly recorded or submitted for recordation in a form that is acceptable for recording in the applicable jurisdiction. The Ground Lease or an estoppel or other agreement received from the ground lessor permits the interest of the lessee to be encumbered by the related Mortgage and does not restrict the use of the related Mortgaged Property by such lessee, its successors or assigns in a manner that would materially adversely affect the security provided by the related Mortgage. No material change in the terms of the Ground Lease had occurred since its recordation, except by any written instruments which are included in the related Mortgage File;

 

(b)  The lessor under such Ground Lease has agreed in a writing included in the related Mortgage File (or in such Ground Lease or an estoppel or other agreement received from the ground lessor) that the Ground Lease may not be amended or modified, or canceled or terminated by agreement of lessor and lessee, without the prior written consent of the lender, and no such consent has been granted by Seller since the origination of the Mortgage Loan except as reflected in any written instruments which are included in the related Mortgage File;

 

(c)  The Ground Lease has an original term (or an original term plus one or more optional renewal terms, which, under all circumstances, may be exercised, and will be enforceable, by either Mortgagor or the Mortgagee) that extends not less than 20 years beyond the stated maturity of the related Mortgage Loan, or 10 years past the stated maturity if such Mortgage Loan fully amortizes by the stated maturity (or with respect to a Mortgage Loan that accrues on an actual 360 basis, substantially amortizes);

In addition, subject to the other exceptions to Representation and Warranty No. 16, even where terrorism insurance is required, the related borrower may not be required to pay more for terrorism insurance coverage than a specified percentage (at least equal to 200%) of the amount of the insurance premium for the property insurance policy required under the related loan documents (excluding such terrorism coverage and coverage for other catastrophe perils such as flood, windstorm and earthquake), and if the cost of such terrorism insurance exceeds such amount, then the related borrower is required to purchase the maximum amount of terrorism insurance available with funds equal to such amount.

 

Even if any material part of the improvements, exclusive of a parking lot, located on the related Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards, the related loan documents do not require “any such additional excess flood coverage in an amount as is generally required by prudent institutional commercial mortgage lenders originating mortgage loans for securitization”, provided, however, that the related loan documents do require “such greater amount as Lender shall
