Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

Credit Suisse Commercial Mortgage Securities Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Depositor”), proposes to sell to Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Mischler Financial Group, Inc., Drexel Hamilton, LLC and Jefferies LLC (each, an “Underwriter” and, collectively, the “Underwriters”) those classes of the CSAIL 2016-C5 Commercial Mortgage Trust, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2016-C5, and in the respective aggregate principal and notional amounts, as set forth in Schedule I hereto (the “Offered Certificates”), in accordance with the terms of this underwriting agreement (this “Agreement”). The Offered Certificates, together with the CSAIL 2016-C5 Commercial Mortgage Trust, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2016-C5, Class X-E, Class X-F, Class X-NR, Class D, Class X-D, Class E, Class F, Class NR, Class Z and Class R (the “Private Certificates”), are collectively referred to herein as the “Certificates.” The initial purchasers of certain Private Certificates and the Underwriters are referred to herein collectively as the “Dealers.” The Certificates will represent beneficial interests in a trust primarily consisting of a segregated pool of fixed-rate mortgage loans secured by commercial properties, as described in the Prospectus referred to below (the “Mortgage Loans”), and certain moneys received under each Mortgage Loan, after the cut-off date for such Mortgage Loan, which shall be: (i) the related due date of such Mortgage Loan in February 2016 or (ii) with respect to any Mortgage Loan that has its first due date in March 2016, the date that would have otherwise been the related due date in February 2016. The Certificates will be issued pursuant to the provisions of a pooling and servicing agreement to be dated as of February 1, 2016 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), between the Depositor, KeyBank National Association, as master servicer (the “Master Servicer”), Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer (the “Special Servicer”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as certificate administrator and trustee (the “Certificate Administrator and Trustee”), and Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as operating advisor and asset representations reviewer (the “Operating Advisor and Asset Representations

 

 

 

 

Reviewer”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as in effect on the Closing Date (as defined below).

 

The Depositor hereby confirms its agreement with the several Underwriters concerning the purchase and sale of the Offered Certificates, as follows:

 

1.             Registration Statement.

 

The Depositor has prepared and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (collectively, the “Securities Act”), a registration statement on Form SF-3 (No. 333-207361), as amended, relating to the Offered Certificates. The Depositor also has prepared and filed with the Commission a preliminary prospectus dated January 19, 2016 (the “Preliminary Prospectus”), specifically relating to the Offered Certificates, in accordance with Rule 424(h) and Rule 430(D) under the Securities Act. The Depositor also has filed with, or proposes to file with, the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act a prospectus specifically relating to the Offered Certificates (the “Prospectus”). The registration statement as amended at the time when it became effective, or, if a post-effective amendment is filed with respect thereto, as amended by such post-effective amendment at the time of its effectiveness, is referred to in this Agreement as the “Registration Statement.” Any reference in this Agreement to the Registration Statement used in connection with the offering of the Offered Certificates, the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include any exhibits thereto and the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 10(d) of Form SF-3 under the Securities Act, as of the effective date of the Registration Statement or the date of the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be, and any reference to “amend,” “amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include any documents filed after the date the Registration Statement became effective, or the date of the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be, under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (collectively, the “Exchange Act”) that are deemed to be incorporated by reference therein.

 

At or prior to the time when sales to investors of the Offered Certificates were first made (the “Time of Sale”), the Depositor had prepared the following information (collectively, the “Time of Sale Information”): (i) a structural and collateral term sheet dated January 19, 2016 (the cover page of which is attached hereto as Annex A) (the “Term Sheet”), constituting a “free writing prospectus” (as defined pursuant to Rule 405 under the Securities Act) (a “Free Writing Prospectus”), and (ii) the Preliminary Prospectus. If, subsequent to the date of this Agreement, the Depositor and the Underwriters have determined that such information included an untrue statement of material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and the applicable Underwriters have terminated their old purchase contracts and entered into new purchase contracts with investors in the Offered Certificates, then “Time of Sale Information” will refer to the information available to investors at the time of entry into the first such new purchase contract, including any information that corrects such material

 

 -2-

Each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, its directors, its officers who signed the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Depositor within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in paragraph (a) above, but only with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission contained in (i) any Underwriters’ Information specifically relating to such indemnifying Underwriter in the Registration Statement, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any Time of Sale Information or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or (ii) any Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus prepared by or on behalf of such indemnifying Underwriter (in the case of an omission or an alleged omission, when read in conjunction with the Time of Sale Information); provided that, with respect to the foregoing clause (ii), no Underwriter shall be obligated to so indemnify and hold harmless (x) to the extent that the Depositor is entitled to indemnification or contribution therefor under the terms of the indemnity of any Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and Trustee or the Operating Advisor and Asset Representations Reviewer, as applicable, set forth in the applicable Indemnification Agreement, (y) with respect to information that is also contained in or otherwise made in reliance on or in conformity with the Time of Sale Information or the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or (z) to the extent such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by a misstatement or omission resulting from an error or omission in the Issuer Information which was not corrected by Corrective Information subsequently supplied by the Depositor, any Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and Trustee or the Operating Advisor and Asset Representations Reviewer, as applicable, to the Underwriters at any time prior to the Time of Sale.

 

(c)            Underwriter Indemnification. Each Underwriter (the “Indemnifying Underwriter”) agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless each other Underwriter, its affiliates, directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls such other Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Non-Indemnifying Underwriter”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, legal fees and other expenses incurred in connection with any suit, action or proceeding or any claim asserted as such fees and expenses are incurred), joint or several, that arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (in the case of clauses (A) and (C) when read in conjunction with all of the

 

 -23-

 

 

Time of Sale Information) contained in (A) any Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus prepared by the Indemnifying Underwriter, or any member of its selling group, in connection with the offer or sale of the Offered Certificates or in any revision or amendment thereof or supplement thereto, (B) any Underwriters’ Information specifically relating to the Indemnifying Underwriter set forth in the Registration Statement, any Time of Sale Information or the Prospectus and (C) any and all other summaries, reports, documents and written or electronic materials relating to the Certificates, prepared by the Indemnifying Underwriter or otherwise furnished or made available by the Indemnifying Underwriter for review by, prospective investors in the Offered Certificates, or (ii) the failure of such Indemnifying Underwriter, or any member of its selling group, to comply with any provision of Section 8, and agrees to reimburse such Non-Indemnifying Underwriter, as incurred for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, except to the extent (1) the Non-Indemnifying Underwriters are entitled to indemnification or contribution therefor under the terms of the indemnity from any Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and Trustee, or the Operating Advisor and Asset Representations Reviewer, as applicable, set forth in the applicable Indemnification Agreement or under the terms of the indemnity from the Depositor set forth in Section 7(a) hereof or (2) such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are caused by a misstatement or omission resulting from an error or omission in the Issuer Information which was not corrected by Corrective Information subsequently supplied by the Depositor, any Seller, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and Trustee, or the Operating Advisor and Asset Representations Reviewer, as applicable, to the Underwriters at any time prior to the Time of Sale; provided, further, that no Underwriter shall be liable to another Underwriter under this Section 7(c) for any losses, liabilities, claims or damages arising out of or based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission in any such document prepared by such other Underwriter. This agreement will be in addition to any liability that any Underwriter may otherwise have.

 

(d)             Notice and Procedures. If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against any person that may seek indemnification pursuant to paragraph (a), (b) or (c) above, such person (the “Indemnified Person”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnification may be sought (the “Indemnifying Person”) in writing; provided that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under Section 7(a), (b) or (c) except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided, further, that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under Section 7(a), (b) or (c). If any such proceeding shall be brought or asserted against an Indemnified Person and it shall have notified the Indemnifying Person thereof, the Indemnifying Person shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person and any others entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 7 that the Indemnifying Person may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel related to such proceeding, as incurred. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless (i) the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the contrary; (ii) the Indemnifying Person has failed within a reasonable time to retain

 -24-

 

 

counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person; (iii) the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Person; or (iv) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood and agreed that the Indemnifying Person shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all Indemnified Persons, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate firm for any Underwriter, its affiliates, directors, officers and any control persons of such Underwriter shall be designated in writing by such Underwriter and any such separate firm for the Depositor, its directors and officers who signed the Registration Statement and any control persons of the Depositor shall be designated in writing by the Depositor. The Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Person agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an Indemnified Person shall have requested that an Indemnifying Person reimburse the Indemnified Person for fees and expenses of counsel for which the Indemnifying Person is responsible under this Section 7(d), the Indemnifying Person shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than forty-five (45) days after receipt by the Indemnifying Person of such request and (ii) the Indemnifying Person shall not have reimbursed the Indemnified Person in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No Indemnifying Person shall, without the written consent of the applicable Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person, in form and substance satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person.

 

(e)             Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Sections 7(a), (b) or (c) above is unavailable to an Indemnified Person or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Person under such paragraph shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities and not otherwise covered by the indemnification provided for under such paragraph (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Indemnifying Person on the one hand and Indemnified Person on the other from the offering of the Offered Certificates or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) but also the relative fault of the Indemnifying Person on the one hand and the Indemnified Person on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Depositor on the one hand and each Underwriter on the other shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net

 

 -25-

 

 

proceeds (before deducting expenses) received by the Depositor from the sale of the Offered Certificates and the total fees, discounts and commissions received by such Underwriter in connection therewith bear to the aggregate offering price of the Offered Certificates. The relative benefits received by a Non-Indemnifying Underwriter on the one hand and an Indemnifying Underwriter on the other shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total fees, discounts and commissions received by each such party in connection therewith bear to the aggregate offering price of the Offered Certificates. The relative fault of the Indemnifying Person on the one hand and the Indemnified Person on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information was supplied by the Indemnifying Person or the Indemnified Person and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

 

(f)             Limitation on Liability. The Depositor and each Underwriter agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in paragraph (e) above. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in paragraph (e) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, in no event shall any Underwriter (except for an Indemnifying Underwriter under Section 7(c) above) be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total fees, discounts and commissions received by it with respect to the offering of the Offered Certificates exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 7 are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations hereunder and not joint.

 

(g)             Non-Exclusive Remedies. The remedies provided for in this Section 7 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any Indemnified Person at law or in equity.

 

8.            Offering Communications; Free Writing Prospectuses; Preliminary Prospectus and Corrected Supplement.

 

(a)             Unless preceded or accompanied by a prospectus satisfying the requirements of Section 10(a) of the Securities Act, no Underwriter shall convey or deliver any written communication to any person in connection with the initial offering of the Offered Certificates, unless such written communication (1) is made in reliance on Rule 134 under the Securities Act, (2) is made in reliance on Rule 172 under the Securities Act, (3) is the Time of Sale Information or the Prospectus or (4) constitutes a Free Writing Prospectus. Without limitation thereby, without the prior written consent of the Depositor (which consent may be

 

 -26-

 

 

withheld for any reason) no Underwriter shall convey or deliver in connection with the initial offering of the Certificates any “ABS informational and computational material,” as defined in Item 1101(a) of Regulation AB under the Securities Act (“ABS Informational and Computational Material”), in reliance upon Rules 167 and 426 under the Securities Act other than materials provided to it by Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC or the Depositor.

 

(b)          Each Underwriter shall deliver to the Depositor, no later than two (2) business days prior to the date of first use thereof, (a) any Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus prepared by or on behalf of such Underwriter that contains any “issuer information,” as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act1 (“Issuer Information”) (which the parties hereto agree includes, without limitation, the Sellers’ Information) and (b) any Free Writing Prospectus prepared by or on behalf of such Underwriter or any portion thereof that contains only a description of the final terms of the Certificates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such Free Writing Prospectus that contains only ABS Informational and Computational Materials may be delivered by the Underwriters to the Depositor not later than the later of (a) two (2) business days prior to the due date for filing of the Prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act or (b) the date of first use of such Free Writing Prospectus.

 

(c)          Each Underwriter represents and warrants to the Depositor that the Free Writing Prospectuses to be furnished to the Depositor by the Underwriter pursuant to Section 8(b) will constitute all Free Writing Prospectuses of the type described therein that were furnished to prospective investors of Offered Certificates by the Underwriter in connection with its offer and sale of the Offered Certificates.

 

(d)          Each Underwriter represents and warrants to the Depositor that each Free Writing Prospectus required to be provided by it to the Depositor pursuant to Section 8(b), when read together with the Time of Sale Information, did not, as of the Time of Sale, and will not as of the Closing Date, include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit any material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the Underwriter makes no representation to the extent such misstatements or omissions were the result of any inaccurate Issuer Information, Sellers’ Information or Transaction Parties’ Information, which information was not corrected by Corrective Information subsequently supplied by the Depositor or any Seller to the Underwriter within a reasonable period prior to the Time of Sale.

 

(e)          The Depositor agrees to file with the Commission the following:

 

(i)          Any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus;

 

(ii)         Any Free Writing Prospectus or portion thereof delivered by the Underwriter to the Depositor pursuant to Section 8(b);

 

(iii)        Any Free Writing Prospectus for which the Depositor or any person acting on its behalf provided, authorized or approved information that is prepared

 

 

 

1 Such definition of “issuer information” is further clarified by footnote 271 to SEC Release No. 33-8591.

See 70 Fed. Reg. 44,722, at 44,751 (August 3, 2005).

and published or disseminated by a person unaffiliated with the Depositor or any other offering participant that is in the business of publishing, radio or television broadcasting or otherwise disseminating communications; and

 

(iv)        Any ABS Informational and Computational Material that is not being treated as a Free Writing Prospectus.

 

(f)          Any Free Writing Prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Section 8(e) by the Depositor shall be filed with the Commission not later than the date of first use of the Free Writing Prospectus, except that:

 

(i)          Any Free Writing Prospectus or portion thereof required to be filed that contains only the description of the final terms of the Certificates shall be filed by the Depositor with the Commission within two (2) days of the later of the date such final terms have been established for all classes of Certificates and the date of first use;

 

(ii)         Any Free Writing Prospectus or portion thereof required to be filed that contains only ABS Informational and Computational Material shall be filed by the Depositor with the Commission not later than the later of the due date for filing the final Prospectus relating to the Offered Certificates pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act or two (2) business days after the first use of such Free Writing Prospectus;

 

(iii)        Any Free Writing Prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Section 8(e)(iii) shall, if no payment has been made or consideration has been given by or on behalf of the Depositor for the Free Writing Prospectus or its dissemination, be filed by the Depositor with the Commission not later than four (4) business days after the Depositor or any other offering participant becomes aware of the publication, radio or television broadcast or other dissemination of the Free Writing Prospectus; and

 

(iv)        The Depositor shall not be required to file (A) Issuer Information contained in any Free Writing Prospectus of an Underwriter or any other offering participant other than the Depositor, if such information is included or incorporated by reference in a prospectus or Free Writing Prospectus previously filed with the Commission that relates to the offering of the Certificates, or (B) any Free Writing Prospectus or portion thereof that contains a description of the Certificates or the offering of the Certificates which does not reflect the final terms thereof.

 

(g)          Each Underwriter shall provide to the Depositor any Free Writing Prospectus (other than an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus) that is used or referred to by it and distributed by or on behalf of such Underwriter in a manner reasonably designed to lead to its broad, unrestricted dissemination not later than the date of the first use of such Free Writing Prospectus and the Depositor shall file such Free Writing Prospectus with the Commission.

 

(h)         Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8(g), each Underwriter shall provide to the Depositor, who shall then file with the Commission, any Free Writing Prospectus for which the Underwriter or any person acting on its behalf provided, authorized or approved information that is prepared and published or disseminated by a person unaffiliated with the

 

 -28-

 

 

Depositor or any other offering participant that is in the business of publishing, radio or television broadcasting or otherwise disseminating written communications and for which no payment was made or consideration given by or on behalf of the Depositor or any other offering participant, not later than four (4) business days after the Underwriter becomes aware of the publication, radio or television broadcast or other dissemination of the Free Writing Prospectus.

 

(i)           Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 8(e) and 8(g), neither the Depositor nor the Underwriters shall be required to file any Free Writing Prospectus that does not contain substantive changes from or additions to a Free Writing Prospectus previously filed with the Commission.

 

(j)          The Depositor and the Underwriters each agree that any Free Writing Prospectuses prepared by it shall contain a legend substantially in the following form:

 

“The depositor has filed a registration statement (including a prospectus) with the SEC (SEC File Number 333-207361) for the offering to which this communication relates. Before you invest, you should read the prospectus in that registration statement and other documents the depositor has filed with the SEC for more complete information about the depositor, the issuing entity and this offering. You may get these documents for free by visiting EDGAR on the SEC Web site at www.sec.gov. Alternatively, the depositor, Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, any other underwriter or any dealer participating in the offering will arrange to send you the prospectus if you request it by calling [1-800-221-1037].”

 

(k)         In the event that the Depositor becomes aware that, as of the Time of Sale, the Preliminary Prospectus contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the Depositor shall (i) notify the Underwriters thereof within one business day after discovery, (ii) prepare and deliver to the Underwriters a supplement to the Preliminary Prospectus that corrects the material misstatement or omission in the Preliminary Prospectus and that meets the requirements of Rule 424(h)(2) under the Securities Act (such supplement, a “Corrected Supplement”) and (iii) subject to Section 4(c) of this Agreement, file such Corrected Supplement with the Commission in accordance with Rule 424(h) under the Securities Act. Upon receipt of such notice from the Depositor, the Underwriters shall:

 

(A)          Notify each investor in the Offered Certificates in a prompt fashion that any prior contract of sale with such investor has been terminated, and of such investor’s rights as a result of termination of such agreement;

 

(B)           Upon receipt of a copy of such Corrected Supplement from the Depositor, deliver, at least 48 hours prior to sending a new confirmation of sale to an investor in the Offered Certificates in accordance with Rule 15c2-8(b) under the Exchange Act, such Corrected Supplement to such investor;

 

 -29-

 

 

(C)           Provide such investor with an opportunity to enter into a new contract of sale on the terms described in the Time of Sale Information (as updated by such Corrected Supplement); and

 

(D)           Comply with any other requirements for reformation of the original contract of sale, as described in Section IV.2.c of the Commission’s Securities Offering Reform Release No. 33-8591.

 

(l)           (1) In the event that the Depositor becomes aware that, as of the Time of Sale, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, when read in conjunction with the Time of Sale Information (such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus a “Defective Issuer Free Writing Prospectus”), the Depositor shall notify the Underwriters thereof within one business day after discovery and the Depositor shall, if requested by the Underwriters, prepare and deliver to the Underwriters a Free Writing Prospectus that corrects the material misstatement or omission in the Defective Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (such corrected Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, a “Corrected Issuer Free Writing Prospectus”) and (2) in the event that any Underwriter becomes aware that, as of the Time of Sale, any Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, when read in conjunction with the Time of Sale Information (such Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus, a “Defective Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus” and, together with a Defective Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, a “Defective Free Writing Prospectus”), such Underwriter shall notify the Depositor thereof within one business day after discovery, and (in the case of either clause (1) or clause (2) above) the Underwriters shall, if requested by the Depositor:

 

(A)           If the Defective Free Writing Prospectus was an Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus, prepare a Free Writing Prospectus with Corrective Information that corrects the material misstatement in or omission from the Defective Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus (such corrected Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus, a “Corrected Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus” and, together with the Corrected Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, a “Corrected Free Writing Prospectus”);

 

(B)           Deliver the Corrected Free Writing Prospectus to each investor in an Offered Certificate which received the Defective Free Writing Prospectus prior to entering into a contract of sale with such investor;

 

(C)           Notify such investor in a prompt fashion that any prior contract of sale with such investor has been terminated, and of such investor’s rights as a result of termination of such agreement;

 -30-

 

 

  (E)           Comply with any other requirements for reformation of the original contract of sale, as described in Section IV.2.c of the Commission’s Securities Offering Reform Release No. 33-8591.

 

(m)           Each Underwriter covenants with the Depositor that after the final Prospectus is available the Underwriter shall not distribute any written information concerning the Offered Certificates that contains Issuer Information to a prospective investor in Offered Certificates unless such information is preceded or accompanied by the final Prospectus.

 

(n)            The Depositor and each Underwriter agree to retain all Free Writing Prospectuses that they have used and that are not required to be filed pursuant to this Section 8 for a period of three (3) years following the initial bona fide offering of the Offered Certificates.

 

9.            Effectiveness of Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.

 

10.          Termination.

 

(a)            Any Underwriter may terminate its obligations under this Agreement by notice to the Depositor at any time at or prior to the Closing Date if the sale of the Certificates provided for herein is not consummated because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Depositor to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason the Depositor shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

 

(b)            The obligations of the Underwriters to purchase the Certificates on the Closing Date shall be terminable by the Underwriters (and, solely with respect to any Underwriter’s obligation to purchase its respective allotment of the Certificates as specified in Schedule I, by such Underwriter) if at any time on or prior to the Closing Date: (i) any change, or any development or event involving a prospective change in the condition (financial or other), business, properties or results of operations of the Depositor or the Trust which, in the judgment of a majority in interest of the Underwriters, is material and adverse and makes it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with completion of the public offering or the sale of and payment for the Certificates; (ii) any downgrading in the rating of any of the Certificates by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” (as defined for purposes of Rule 436(g) under the Securities Act), or any public announcement that any such organization has under surveillance or review its rating of any of the Certificates (other than an announcement with positive implications of a possible upgrading, and no implication of a possible downgrading, of such rating); (iii) any change in U.S. or international financial, political or economic conditions or currency exchange rates or exchange controls as would, in the judgment of a majority in interest of the Underwriters, be likely to prejudice materially the success of the proposed issue, sale or distribution of the Certificates, whether in the primary market or in respect of dealings in the secondary market; (iv) any material suspension or material limitation of trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange or any over-the-counter market or any setting of minimum prices for trading on such exchange or market, or any suspension of trading of any Certificates on any relevant exchange or any over-the-counter market; (v) any general moratorium on commercial banking activities declared by any federal or New York State authorities; (vi) any major disruption of settlements of securities or clearance services in the

 

 -31-

 

 

United States; or (vii) any attack on, outbreak or escalation of hostilities or act of terrorism involving the United States, any declaration of war by Congress or any other national or international calamity or emergency if, in the judgment of a majority in interest of the Underwriters, the effect of any such attack, outbreak, escalation, act, declaration, calamity or emergency makes it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with completion of the offering or the sale of any payment for the Certificates.

 

(c)            If any Underwriter terminates its obligations under this Agreement in accordance with Section 10(a), the Depositor shall reimburse such Underwriter for all reasonable out-of pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that shall have been reasonably incurred by such Underwriter in connection with the proposed purchase and sale of the Certificates.

 

11.          Defaulting Underwriter.

 

(a)            If, on the Closing Date, any Underwriter defaults on its obligation to purchase the Offered Certificates that it has agreed to purchase hereunder, the non-defaulting Underwriters may in their discretion arrange for the purchase of such Offered Certificates by other persons satisfactory to the Depositor on the terms contained in this Agreement. If, within 36 hours after any such default by any Underwriter, the non-defaulting Underwriters do not arrange for the purchase of such Offered Certificates, then the Depositor shall be entitled to a further period of 36 hours within which to procure other persons satisfactory to the non-defaulting Underwriters to purchase such Offered Certificates on such terms. If other persons become obligated or agree to purchase the Offered Certificates of a defaulting Underwriter, either the non-defaulting Underwriters or the Depositor may postpone the Closing Date for up to five (5) full business days in order to effect any changes that in the opinion of counsel for the Depositor or counsel for the Underwriters may be necessary in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus or in any other document or arrangement, and the Depositor agrees to promptly prepare any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus that effects any such changes. As used in this Agreement, the term “Underwriter” includes, for all purposes of this Agreement unless the context otherwise requires, any person not otherwise identified as such in the first paragraph of this Agreement that, pursuant to this Section 11, purchases Offered Certificates that a defaulting Underwriter agreed but failed to purchase.

 

(b)            If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Offered Certificates of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the non-defaulting Underwriters and the Depositor as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Offered Certificates that remains unpurchased does not exceed one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Offered Certificates, then the Depositor shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase the principal amount of Offered Certificates that such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder plus such Underwriter’s pro rata share (based on the principal amount of Offered Certificates that such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder) of the Offered Certificates of such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters for which such arrangements have not been made.

 

(c)            If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Offered Certificates of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the non-defaulting Underwriters and

 

 -32-

 

 

the Depositor as provided in paragraph (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Offered Certificates that remains unpurchased exceeds one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Offered Certificates, or if the Depositor shall not exercise the right described in paragraph (b) above, then this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of the non-defaulting Underwriters or the Depositor, except that the Depositor will continue to be liable for the payment of expenses as set forth in Section 12 hereof and except that the provisions of Section 7 hereof shall not terminate and shall remain in effect.

You should carefully consider the risk factors beginning on page 49 of this prospectus. 

 

Neither the certificates nor the mortgage loans are insured or guaranteed by any governmental agency, instrumentality or private issuer or any other person or entity. 

 

The certificates will represent interests in the issuing entity only. They will not represent interests in or obligations of the sponsors, depositor, any of their affiliates or any other entity.

  The United States Securities and Exchange Commission and state regulators have not approved or disapproved of the offered certificates or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense. Credit Suisse Commercial Mortgage Securities Corp. will not list the offered certificates on any securities exchange or on any automated quotation system of any securities association.
   
  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 (both as defined in this prospectus).
   
 

The underwriters, Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Drexel Hamilton, LLC, Mischler Financial Group and Jefferies LLC, will purchase the offered certificates from Credit Suisse Commercial Mortgage Securities Corp. and will offer them to the public at negotiated prices, plus, in certain cases, accrued interest, determined at the time of sale.

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT:

 

The Depositor intends to sell commercial mortgage pass-through certificates (collectively, the “Certificates”), to be issued hereunder in multiple classes (each, a “Class”), which in the aggregate will evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust to be created hereunder, the primary assets of which will be a pool of commercial mortgage loans. As provided herein, the Certificate Administrator shall elect or shall cause an election to be made to treat designated portions of the Trust (exclusive of the Excess Interest and the proceeds thereof in the Excess Interest Distribution Account) for federal income tax purposes as two separate real estate mortgage investment conduits (the “Upper-Tier REMIC” and the “Lower-Tier REMIC”, and each a “Trust REMIC” as described herein).

 

In addition, the parties intend that the portion of the Trust Fund consisting of the Class Z Specific Grantor Trust Assets shall be treated as a grantor trust under subpart E, part I of subchapter J of the Code for federal income tax purposes (the “Grantor Trust”). The Class Z Certificates shall represent undivided beneficial interests in the Grantor Trust. As provided herein, the Certificate Administrator shall take all actions expressly required hereunder to ensure that the portion of the Trust Fund consisting of the Grantor Trust maintains its status as a grantor trust under federal income tax law and not be treated as part of the Trust REMICs.

 

The Depositor intends to sell the Certificates to the Underwriters and the Initial Purchasers.

 

LOWER-TIER REMIC

 

The Lower-Tier REMIC will hold the Mortgage Loans (exclusive of Excess Interest) and will issue the Class LA-1, Class LA-2, Class LA-3, Class LA-4, Class LA-5, Class LA-SB, Class LA-S, Class LB, Class LC, Class LD, Class LE, Class LF and Class LNR Uncertificated Interests (the “Lower-Tier Regular Interests”), which will evidence the “regular interests” in the Lower-Tier REMIC created hereunder. The Lower-Tier REMIC will also issue the uncertificated Class LR Interest, which is the sole Class of “residual interest” in the Lower-Tier REMIC and is represented by the Class R Certificates.

-67-
 

 

which the Master Servicer, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, or the Trustee, in its good faith business judgment, as applicable, determines would not be ultimately recoverable, together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate, from Late Collections or any other recovery on or in respect of such Mortgage Loan or REO Loan; provided, however, that the Special Servicer may, at its option, make a determination in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that any P&I Advance previously made or proposed to be made is a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance and shall deliver to the Master Servicer (and with respect to a Serviced Mortgage Loan, to any Other Servicer) and with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, to 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. Any such determination may be conclusively relied upon by, but shall not be binding upon, the Master Servicer and the Trustee, provided, however, that the Special Servicer shall have no such obligation to make an affirmative determination that any P&I Advance is or would be recoverable and in the absence of a determination by the Special Servicer that such P&I Advance is or would be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, such decision shall remain with the Master Servicer or 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 is a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall have the right to make its own subsequent determination that any remaining portion of any such previously made or proposed P&I Advance is a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance. With respect to any Non-Serviced Whole Loan, if any Non-Serviced Master Servicer or Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as applicable, in connection with a securitization of the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan determines that a P&I advance with respect to the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan, if made, would be a “nonrecoverable P&I advance”, such determination shall not be binding on the Master Servicer and the Trustee as it relates to any proposed P&I Advance with respect to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan. Similarly, with respect to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer determines that any P&I Advance with respect to a related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, such determination shall not be binding on the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer and related Non-Serviced Trustee as it relates to any proposed P&I Advance with respect to the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan (unless the related Non-Serviced PSA provides otherwise). In making such recoverability determination, the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Trustee, as applicable, will be entitled (a) to consider (among other things) (i) the obligations of the Mortgagor under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan 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 (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or in its good faith business judgment in the case of the Trustee, solely in its capacity as Trustee) regarding the possibility and effects of future adverse change with respect to such Mortgaged Properties, (b) to estimate and consider (among other things) future expenses, (c) to estimate and consider (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer or in its good faith business judgment in the case of the Trustee, solely in its capacity as Trustee) (among other things) the timing of recoveries and (d) to give due regard to 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, in light of the fact that related proceeds are a source of recovery not only for the Advance under consideration but also a

 

-68-
 

 

potential source of recovery for such delayed or deferred Advance. In addition, any Person, in considering whether a P&I Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, will be entitled to give due regard to the existence of any outstanding Nonrecoverable Advance or Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount with respect to other Mortgage Loans, the reimbursement of which, at the time of such consideration, is being deferred or delayed by the Master Servicer or the Trustee because there is insufficient principal available for such reimbursement, in light of the fact that proceeds on the related Mortgage Loan are a source of reimbursement not only for the P&I Advance under consideration, but also as a potential source of reimbursement of such Nonrecoverable Advance or Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts which are or may be being deferred or delayed. In addition, any such Person may update or change its recoverability determinations at any time (but not reverse any other Person’s determination that an Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance) and, consistent with the Servicing Standard, in the case of the Master Servicer or in its good faith business judgment in the case of the Trustee (solely in its capacity as Trustee), may obtain at the expense of the Trust any reasonably required analysis, Appraisals or market value estimates or other information for making a recoverability determination. Absent bad faith, the Master Servicer’s, Special Servicer’s or the Trustee’s determination as to the recoverability of any P&I Advance shall be conclusive and binding on the Certificateholders. The determination by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, that the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, has made a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, or any updated or changed recoverability determination, shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered by either the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer to the other and to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Certificateholder (but only prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event and only with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan) (and, in the case of a Serviced Mortgage Loan or Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, any Other Servicer or Non-Serviced Master Servicer, as applicable), the Operating Advisor (but only in the case of the Special Servicer), the Depositor, or by the Trustee to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor (and, in the case of a Serviced Mortgage Loan or Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, any Other Servicer or Non-Serviced Master Servicer, as applicable) and the Certificate Administrator. The Officer’s Certificate shall set forth such determination of nonrecoverability and the considerations of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, forming the basis of such determination (which shall be accompanied by, to the extent available, income and expense statements, rent rolls, occupancy status, property inspections and any other information used by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, to make such determination and shall include any existing Appraisal of the related Mortgage Loan, or the related Mortgaged Property). The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s determination that a P&I Advance is or would be nonrecoverable, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the Special Servicer’s determination that a P&I Advance is or would be nonrecoverable. In the case of a cross-collateralized Mortgage Loan (if any), such recoverability determination shall take into account the cross-collateralization of the related cross-collateralized Mortgage Loan.

 

Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance”: Any Servicing Advance previously made or proposed to be made in respect of a Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), Whole Loan or REO Property which the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, in each case in accordance with the Servicing Standard, or the Trustee, in its good faith business

 

-69-
 

 

judgment, as applicable, determines would not be ultimately recoverable, together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, at the Reimbursement Rate, from Late Collections or any other recovery on or in respect of such Mortgage Loan, Whole Loan or REO Property. In making such recoverability determination, such Person will be entitled (a) to consider (among other things) (i) the obligations of the Mortgagor 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 (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or in its good faith business judgment in the case of the Trustee, solely in its capacity as Trustee) regarding the possibility and effects of future adverse change with respect to such Mortgaged Properties, (b) to estimate and consider (among other things) future expenses and (c) to estimate and consider (consistent with the Servicing Standard in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or in its good faith business judgment in the case of the Trustee, solely in its capacity as Trustee) (among other things) the timing of recoveries. In addition, any Person, in considering whether a Servicing Advance is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, will be entitled to give due regard to the existence of any Nonrecoverable Advance or Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts with respect to other Mortgage Loans, the reimbursement of which, at the time of such consideration, is being deferred or delayed by the Master Servicer, in light of the fact that proceeds on the related Mortgage Loan are a source of recovery not only for the Servicing Advance under consideration, but also as a potential source of recovery of such Nonrecoverable Advance or Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts which are or may be being deferred or delayed. In addition, any such Person may update or change its recoverability determinations at any time (but not reverse any other Person’s determination that an Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance) and, consistent with the Servicing Standard, in the case of the Master Servicer, may obtain at the expense of the Trust any reasonably required analysis, Appraisals or market value estimates or other information for making a recoverability determination. The determination by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, that it has made a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance or that any proposed Servicing Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, or any updated or changed recoverability determination, shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered by either of the Special Servicer or Master Servicer to the other and to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Certificateholder (but only prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event and only with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan) (and in the case of a Serviced Mortgage Loan or Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, any Other Servicer or Non-Serviced Master Servicer, as applicable), the Operating Advisor (but only in the case of the Special Servicer) and the Depositor, or by the Trustee to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Certificate Administrator (and in the case of a Serviced Mortgage Loan or Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, any Other Servicer or Non-Serviced Master Servicer, as applicable); provided, however, that the Special Servicer may, at its option, make a determination in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that any Servicing Advance previously made or proposed to be made is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance and shall deliver to the Master Servicer (and with respect to a Serviced Mortgage Loan, to any Other Servicer), the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the 17g-5 Information Provider notice of such determination. Any such determination may be conclusively relied upon by, but shall not be binding upon, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee, provided, however, that

 

-70-
 

 

the Special Servicer shall have no such obligation to make an affirmative determination that any Servicing Advance is or would be recoverable and in the absence of a determination by the Special Servicer that such Servicing Advance is or would be a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, such decision shall 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 Servicing Advance is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall each have the right to make its own subsequent determination that any remaining portion of any such previously made or proposed Servicing Advance is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. The Officer’s Certificate shall set forth such determination of nonrecoverability and the considerations of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, forming the basis of such determination (which shall be accompanied by, to the extent available, related income and expense statements, rent rolls, occupancy status and property inspections, and shall include any existing Appraisal with respect to the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable, or related Mortgaged Property). The Special Servicer shall promptly furnish any party required to make Servicing Advances hereunder with any information in its possession regarding the Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties as such party required to make Servicing Advances may reasonably request for purposes of making recoverability determinations. The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s, as the case may be, determination that a Servicing Advance is or would be nonrecoverable, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the Special Servicer’s determination that a Servicing Advance is or would be nonrecoverable. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Special Servicer requests that the Master Servicer make a Servicing Advance, the Master Servicer may conclusively rely on such request as evidence that such advance is not a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance; provided, however, the Special Servicer shall not be entitled to make such a request more frequently than once per calendar month with respect to Servicing Advances other than emergency advances (although such request may relate to more than one Servicing Advance). In the case of a cross-collateralized Mortgage Loan (if any), such recoverability determination shall take into account the cross-collateralization of the related cross-collateralized Mortgage Loan. The determination as to the recoverability of any servicing advance previously made or proposed to be made in respect of a Non-Serviced Whole Loan shall be made by the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer, Non-Serviced Special Servicer or Non-Serviced Trustee, as the case may be, pursuant to the Non-Serviced PSA.

With respect to each Mortgage Loan listed on the Custodial Exception Report, the Custodian shall specifically identify such Mortgage Loan together with the nature of such exception (in the form reasonably acceptable to the Custodian and the related Mortgage Loan Seller and separating items required to be in the Mortgage File but never delivered from items which were delivered by the related Mortgage Loan Seller but are out for filing or recording and have not been returned by the filing office or the recorder’s office).

 

(c)         The Custodian shall review the Mortgage Loan documents received subsequent to the Closing Date; and, on or about the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Custodian shall, in the form attached as Exhibit Q, certify in writing to each of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Certificateholder and the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (as to each Mortgage Loan listed on the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any related Mortgage Loan as to which a Liquidation Event has occurred) or any related Mortgage Loan specifically identified in any exception report annexed to such writing) that, (i) subject to the final proviso of the definition of “Mortgage File” herein and Section 2.01 hereof, all documents specified in clauses (i) through (v), (viii), (ix)(xi), (xii) and (xiii), if any, of the definition of “Mortgage File”, as applicable, are in its possession,

 

-118-
 

 

(ii) the foregoing documents delivered or caused to be delivered by the Mortgage Loan Sellers have been reviewed by the Custodian and appear regular on their face and appear to be executed and relate to such Mortgage Loan and (iii) based on such examination and only as to the foregoing documents, the information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule with respect to the items specified in clauses (iv), (vi) and (viii)(c) in the definition of “Mortgage Loan Schedule” is correct.

 

(d)        Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 2.02 and Section 2.03(b) to the contrary, in the case of a Material Defect in any of the documents specified in clauses (ii) through (v), (vii), (viii) and (ix) in the definition of “Mortgage File”, which Material Defect results solely from a delay in the return of the related documents from the applicable filing or recording office and gives rise to a repurchase or substitution obligation on the part of the related Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to the subject Mortgage Loan pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the Directing Certificateholder, in its sole judgment, may (other than with respect to any Excluded Loan and, with respect to any other Mortgage Loan, only prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event), and the Special Servicer may, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, permit the related Mortgage Loan Seller in lieu of repurchasing or substituting for the related Mortgage Loan, to deposit with the Master Servicer an amount, to be held in trust in a segregated Eligible Account (which may be a sub-account of the Collection Account), equal to 25% of the Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan (in the alternative, the related Mortgage Loan Seller may deliver to the Master Servicer a letter of credit in such amount, with a copy to the Custodian). Such funds or letter of credit, as applicable, shall be held by the Master Servicer (i) until the date on which the Custodian determines and notifies the Master Servicer that such Material Defect has been cured or the related Mortgage Loan is no longer part of the Trust Fund, at which time the Master Servicer shall return such funds (or letter of credit) to the related Mortgage Loan Seller, or (ii) until same are applied to the Purchase Price (or the Substitution Shortfall Amount, if applicable) as set forth below in this Section 2.02(d) in the event of a repurchase or substitution by the related Mortgage Loan Seller. Notwithstanding the two immediately preceding sentences, if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer certifies to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Custodian that it has determined in the exercise of its reasonable judgment that the document with respect to which such Material Defect exists is required in connection with an imminent enforcement of the mortgagee’s rights or remedies under the related Mortgage Loan, defending any claim asserted by any Mortgagor or third party with respect to the related Mortgage Loan, establishing the validity or priority of any lien on collateral securing the related Mortgage Loan or for any immediate significant servicing obligation, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall be required to repurchase or substitute for the related Mortgage Loan in accordance with, and to the extent required by, the terms and conditions of Section 2.03(b) and Section 6 of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement; provided, however, that such Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be required to repurchase the Mortgage Loan for a period of ninety (90) days after receipt of a notice to repurchase (together with any applicable extension period) if it is attempting to recover the document from the applicable filing or recording office and provides an officer’s certificate setting forth what actions such Mortgage Loan Seller is pursuing in connection with such recovery. In the event of a repurchase or substitution, upon the date of such repurchase or substitution, and in the event that the related Mortgage Loan Seller has delivered a letter of credit to the Master Servicer in accordance with this Section 2.02(d), the

 

-119-
 

 

Master Servicer shall, to the extent necessary, draw on the letter of credit and deposit the proceeds of such draw, into the Collection Account to be applied to the Purchase Price (or the Substitution Shortfall Amount, if applicable, in which event, the amount of such funds or proceeds that exceed the Substitution Shortfall Amount shall be returned to the related Mortgage Loan Seller) in accordance with Section 2.03(b). All such funds deposited in the Collection Account shall be invested in Permitted Investments, at the direction and for the benefit of the related Mortgage Loan Seller. Such funds shall be treated as an “outside reserve fund” under the REMIC Provisions, which, together with any reimbursement from the Lower-Tier REMIC, is beneficially owned by the related Mortgage Loan Seller for federal income tax purposes, which Mortgage Loan Seller shall remain liable for any taxes payable on income or gain with respect thereto.

 

(e)         It is herein acknowledged that neither the Trustee nor any Custodian is under any duty or obligation (i) to determine whether any of the documents specified in clauses (vi), (vii) and (xii) through (xvii) of the definition of “Mortgage File” exist or are required to be delivered by the Depositor, the Mortgage Loan Sellers or any other Person (unless identified on the Mortgage Loan Checklist) or (ii) to inspect, review or examine any of the documents, instruments, certificates or other papers relating to the Mortgage Loans delivered to it to determine that the same are genuine, enforceable, duly authorized, sufficient to perfect and maintain the perfection of a security interest or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face and, with respect to the documents specified in clause (viii) of the definition of the “Mortgage File”, whether the insurance is effective as of the date of the recordation, whether all endorsements or riders issued are included in the file or if the policy has not been issued whether any acceptable replacement document has been dated the date of the related Mortgage Loan funding. Further, with respect to the UCC Financing Statements referenced in the Mortgage File, absent actual knowledge to the contrary or copies of UCC Financing Statements delivered to the Custodian as part of the Mortgage File indicating otherwise, the Custodian may assume, for the purposes of the filings and the certification to be delivered in accordance with this Section 2.02 that the related Mortgage File should include one state level UCC Financing Statement filing for each Mortgaged Property (or with respect to any Mortgage Loan that has two or more Mortgagors, for each Mortgagor, except to the extent multiple Mortgagors are named as debtors in the same UCC Financing Statement filing), or if the Custodian has received notice that a particular UCC Financing Statement was filed as a fixture filing, that the related Mortgage File should include only a local UCC Financing Statement filing for each Mortgaged Property (or with respect to any Mortgage Loan that has two or more Mortgagors, for each Mortgagor, except to the extent multiple Mortgagors are named as debtors in the same UCC Financing Statement filing). The assignments of the UCC Financing Statements to be assigned to the Trust will be delivered on the new national forms (or on such other form as may be acceptable for filing or recording in the applicable jurisdiction) and in a format suitable for filing or recording, as applicable, and will be filed or recorded in the jurisdiction(s) where such UCC Financing Statements were originally filed or recorded, as indicated in the documents provided, and in accordance with then-current laws.

 

(f)         If, in the process of reviewing the Mortgage Files or at any time thereafter, the Custodian finds any document or documents constituting a part of a Mortgage File (1) not to have been properly executed, (2) subject to the timing requirements of Sections 2.01(b) and 2.01(c), not to have been delivered, (3) to contain information that does not conform in any

 

-120-
 

 

material respect with the corresponding information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule or (4) to be defective on its face (each, a “Defect” in the related Mortgage File), the Custodian shall promptly so notify the Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Certificateholder, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (and in no event later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date and every calendar quarter thereafter until all Defects are corrected) by providing a Custodial Exception Report setting forth for each affected Mortgage Loan, with particularity, the nature of such Defect (in a form reasonably acceptable to the Custodian and such Mortgage Loan Seller and separating items required to be in the Mortgage File but never delivered from items which were delivered by such Mortgage Loan Seller but are out for recording or filing and have not been returned by the recorder’s office or filing office).

 

(g)        If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (i) receives any request or demand for repurchase or replacement of a Mortgage Loan because of a breach of or alleged breach of a representation or warranty or a Defect (any such request or demand for repurchase or replacement, a “Repurchase Request”, and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to the extent it receives a Repurchase Request, the “Repurchase Request Recipient” with respect to such Repurchase Request); or (ii) receives any withdrawal of a Repurchase Request by the Person making such Repurchase Request or any rejection of a Repurchase Request (or such a Repurchase Request is forwarded to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer by another party hereto), then the Repurchase Request Recipient shall deliver notice (which may be by electronic format so long as a “backup” hard copy of such notice is also delivered on or prior to the next Business Day) of such Repurchase Request or withdrawal or rejection of a Repurchase Request (each, a “15Ga-1 Notice”) to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (other than in the case of a rejection by such Mortgage Loan Seller) and the Depositor, in each case within ten (10) Business Days from such Repurchase Request Recipient’s receipt thereof.

 

Each 15Ga-1 Notice shall include (i) the identity of the related Mortgage Loan, (ii) the date the Repurchase Request is received by the Repurchase Request Recipient or the date any withdrawal of the Repurchase Request is received by the Repurchase Request Recipient, as applicable, (iii) if known, the basis for the Repurchase Request (as asserted in the Repurchase Request) and (iv) a statement from the Repurchase Request Recipient as to whether it currently plans to pursue such Repurchase Request.

 

A Repurchase Request Recipient shall not be required to provide any information in a 15Ga-1 Notice protected by the attorney-client privilege or attorney work product doctrines. The Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements will provide that (i) any 15Ga-1 Notice provided pursuant to this Section 2.02(g) is so provided only to assist the Mortgage Loan Sellers and Depositor or their respective Affiliates to comply with Rule 15Ga-1 under the Exchange Act, Items 1104 and 1121 of Regulation AB and any other requirement of law or regulation and (ii) (A) no action taken by, or inaction of, a Repurchase Request Recipient and (B) no information provided pursuant to this Section 2.02(g) by a Repurchase Request Recipient, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver or defense to the exercise of any legal right the Repurchase Request Recipient may have with respect to the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, including with respect to any Repurchase Request that is the subject of a 15Ga-1 Notice.

 

-121-
 

 

In the event that the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Custodian receives a Repurchase Request, such party shall promptly forward or otherwise provide written notice of such Repurchase Request to the Master Servicer, if relating to a Non-Specially Serviced Loan, or to the Special Servicer, if relating to a Specially Serviced Loan or REO Property, and include the following statement in the related correspondence: “This is a ‘Repurchase Request’ under Section 2.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to the CSAIL 2016-C5 Commercial Mortgage Trust, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2016-C5 requiring action by you as the ‘Repurchase Request Recipient’ thereunder.” Upon receipt of such Repurchase Request by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, such party shall be deemed to be the Repurchase Request Recipient in respect of such Repurchase Request, and such party shall comply with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.02(g) with respect to such Repurchase Request. In no event shall the Custodian, by virtue of this provision, be required to provide any notice other than as set forth in Section 2.02 of this Agreement in connection with its review of the Mortgage File.

 

If the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Custodian receives notice or has knowledge of a withdrawal or a rejection of a Repurchase Request of which notice has been previously received or given, and such notice was not received from or copied to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, then such party shall give notice of such withdrawal or rejection to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable. Any such notice received by the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Custodian shall also be provided to the Depositor and, in the case of a withdrawal notice, to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller.

 

In the event that a Mortgage Loan is repurchased or replaced pursuant to Section 2.03 of this Agreement, the Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans) or Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) shall promptly notify the Depositor of such repurchase or replacement.

 

   Section 2.03          Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Depositor; Mortgage Loan Sellers’ Repurchase or Substitution of Mortgage Loans for Defects in Mortgage Files and Breaches of Representations and Warranties. (a)  The Depositor hereby represents and warrants that:

 

(i)          The Depositor is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and the Depositor has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by it, and has the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and all the transactions contemplated hereby, including, but not limited to, the power and authority to sell, assign and transfer the Mortgage Loans in accordance with this Agreement;

 

(ii)         Assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement by each other party hereto, this Agreement and all of the obligations of the Depositor hereunder are the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Depositor, enforceable

 

-122-
 

 

against the Depositor in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law);

 

(iii)        The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance of its obligations hereunder by the Depositor will not conflict with any provisions of any law or regulations to which the Depositor is subject, or conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute a default under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of the certificate of incorporation or the by-laws of the Depositor or any indenture, agreement or instrument to which the Depositor is a party or by which it is bound, or any order or decree applicable to the Depositor, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien on any of the Depositor’s assets or property, which would materially and adversely affect the ability of the Depositor to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; the Depositor has obtained any consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or governmental agency or body required for the execution, delivery and performance by the Depositor of this Agreement, except those which, if not obtained, will not have a material adverse effect on the validity or enforceability against the Depositor of this Agreement or on the ability of the Depositor to perform its obligations under this Agreement;

 

(iv)        There is no action, suit or proceeding pending or, to the Depositor’s knowledge, threatened against the Depositor in any court or by or before any other governmental agency or instrumentality which would materially and adversely affect the validity of the Mortgage Loans or the ability of the Depositor to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and

 

(v)         The Depositor is the lawful owner of the Mortgage Loans with the full right to transfer the Mortgage Loans to the Trust, and the Mortgage Loans have been validly transferred to the Trust.

 

   (b)        If any Certificateholder, the Directing Certificateholder, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, Operating Advisor (solely in its capacity as Operating Advisor) or the Trustee discovers (without implying any duty of such person to make, or to attempt to make, such a discovery) or receives notice alleging a Material Defect in any Mortgage File, such Certificateholder, the Directing Certificateholder, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, Operating Advisor (solely in its capacity as Operating Advisor) or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, shall give prompt written notice of such Material Defect to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor (solely in its capacity as Operating Advisor) and, prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder, and the Master Servicer (if the related Mortgage Loan is a Non-Specially Serviced Loan) or Special Servicer (if the related Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan), as applicable, shall request in writing that the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, not later than ninety (90) days after (i) except in the case of the succeeding clause (ii), the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s discovery of the Material Defect or receipt of such notice or

 

-123-
 

 

(ii) in the case of a Material Defect relating to a Mortgage Loan not being a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, 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, the earlier of (x) the discovery by the Mortgage Loan Seller or any party to this Agreement of such Material Defect or (y) receipt of notice of a discovery of such Material Defect from any party to this Agreement by the Mortgage Loan Seller, (such ninety (90) day period, the “Initial Cure Period”), (A) cure such Material Defect in all material respects, at such Mortgage Loan Seller’s own expense, including reimbursement of any related reasonable additional expenses of the Trust reasonably incurred by any party to this Agreement, (B) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan at the applicable Purchase Price and in conformity with the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Agreement or (C) substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (other than with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, for which no substitution will be permitted) for such affected Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan, and pay any Substitution Shortfall Amount in connection with such substitution (provided that in no event shall any such substitution occur on or after the second anniversary of the Closing Date) and pay the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account, any Substitution Shortfall Amount in connection therewith and in conformity with the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Agreement; provided, however, that except with respect to a Material Defect resulting solely from the failure by the Mortgage Loan Seller to deliver to the Trustee or Custodian the actual policy of lender’s title insurance required pursuant to clause (viii) of the definition of Mortgage File by a date not later than eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date, if such Material Defect is capable of being cured but is not cured within the Initial Cure Period, and the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller has commenced and is diligently proceeding with the cure of such Material Defect within the Initial Cure Period, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall have an additional ninety (90) days commencing immediately upon the expiration of the Initial Cure Period (such additional ninety (90) day period, the “Extended Cure Period”) to complete such cure (or, failing such cure, to repurchase the related Mortgage Loan or REO Loan (excluding any related Serviced Companion Loan, if applicable) or substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (other than with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan, for which no substitution will be permitted) and pay any Substitution Shortfall Amount in connection with such substitution) and provided, further, that with respect to such Extended Cure Period the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall have delivered an officer’s certificate to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator (who shall promptly deliver a copy of such officer’s certificate to the 17g-5 Information Provider), the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and (with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan, prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event), the Directing Certificateholder, setting forth the reason such Material Defect is not capable of being cured within the Initial Cure Period and what actions the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller is pursuing in connection with the cure thereof and stating that the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller anticipates that such Material Defect will be cured within the Extended Cure Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Material Defect which causes any Mortgage Loan not to be a “qualified mortgage” (within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, 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) shall be deemed to materially and adversely affect the interests of Certificateholders therein, and (subject to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s right to cure such Material Defect

 

-124-
 

 

during the Initial Cure Period) such Mortgage Loan shall be repurchased or substituted for without regard to the Extended Cure Period described in the preceding sentence. If the affected Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased, the funds in the amount of the Purchase Price remitted by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller are to be remitted by wire transfer to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account.

 

If a Mortgage Loan Seller, in connection with a Material Defect (or an allegation of a Material Defect) pertaining to a Mortgage Loan, makes a cash payment pursuant to an agreement or a settlement between the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller and the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust and that such cash payment would be deemed sufficient to compensate the Trust for such Material Defect (and, 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) (each such payment, a “Loss of Value Payment”) with respect to such Mortgage Loan, the amount of such Loss of Value Payment shall be deposited into the Loss of Value Reserve Fund to be applied in accordance with Section 3.05(g) of this Agreement. The Loss of Value Payment shall include the portion of any Liquidation Fees payable to the Special Servicer in respect of such Loss of Value Payment and the portion of fees and reimbursable expenses of the Asset Representations Reviewer attributable to the Asset Review of such Mortgage Loan. If such Loss of Value Payment is made, the Loss of Value Payment shall serve as the sole remedy available to the Certificateholders and the Trustee on their behalf regarding any such Material Defect in lieu of any obligation of the Mortgage Loan Seller to otherwise cure such Material Defect or repurchase or substitute for the affected Mortgage Loan based on such Material Defect under any circumstances. This paragraph is intended to apply only to a mutual agreement or settlement between the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller and the Master Servicer (in the case of Non-Specially Serviced Loans) or the Special Servicer (in the case of Specially Serviced Loans) on behalf of the Trust, provided that (i) prior to any such agreement or settlement nothing in this paragraph shall preclude the Mortgage Loan Seller or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, from exercising any of its rights related to a Material Defect in the manner and timing set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or this Section 2.03 (excluding this paragraph) (including any right to cure, repurchase or substitute for such Mortgage Loan), (ii) such Loss of Value Payment shall not be greater than the Purchase Price of the affected Mortgage Loan; and (iii) a Material Defect as a result of a Mortgage Loan not constituting a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code (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) may not be cured by a Loss of Value Payment.

 

With respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, if any “Material Defect” (or analogous term) exists under the related Non-Serviced PSA, and if the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (or other responsibly party) repurchases the Non-Serviced Companion Loan securitized thereunder from the trust created pursuant to such Non-Serviced PSA, then the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall promptly repurchase such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan at the applicable Purchase Price; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to any Defect related solely to the promissory note for any related Non-Serviced Companion Loan.

 

If any Breach pertains to a representation or warranty that the related Mortgage Loan documents or any particular Mortgage Loan document requires the related Mortgagor to

 

-125-
 

 

bear the costs and expenses associated with any particular action or matter under such Mortgage Loan document(s), then the related Mortgage Loan Seller may cure such Breach within the applicable cure period (as the same may be extended) by reimbursing the Trust (by wire transfer of immediately available funds) for (i) the reasonable amount of any such costs and expenses incurred by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Trust that are incurred as a result of such Breach and have not been reimbursed by the related Mortgagor and (ii) the amount of any fees payable pursuant to Section 12.02(b) to the extent not previously paid by the Mortgage Loan Seller to the Asset Representations Reviewer attributable to the Asset Review of such Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that in the event any such costs and expenses exceed $10,000, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall have the option to either repurchase or substitute for the related Mortgage Loan as provided above or pay such costs and expenses. Except as provided in the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall remit the amount of such costs and expenses and upon its making such remittance, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall be deemed to have cured such Breach in all respects. To the extent any fees or expenses that are the subject of a cure by the related Mortgage Loan Seller are subsequently obtained from the related Mortgagor, the portion of the cure payment made by the related Mortgage Loan Seller equal to such fees or expenses obtained from the related Mortgagor shall promptly be returned to the related Mortgage Loan Seller. Periodic Payments due with respect to each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (if any) after the related Due Date in the month of substitution, and Periodic Payments due with respect to each Mortgage Loan being repurchased or replaced after the related Cut-off Date and received by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust on or prior to the related date of repurchase or substitution, shall be part of the Trust Fund. Periodic Payments due with respect to each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (if any) on or prior to the related Due Date in the month of substitution, and Periodic Payments due with respect to each Mortgage Loan being repurchased or replaced and received by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust after the related date of repurchase or substitution, shall not be part of the Trust Fund and are to be remitted by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller effecting the related repurchase or substitution promptly following receipt. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, no delay in either the discovery of a Material Defect shall relieve the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller of its obligation to repurchase if it is otherwise required to do so under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and/or this Article II unless (i) the related Mortgage Loan Seller did not otherwise discover or have knowledge of such Material Defect, (ii) such delay is a result of the failure by a party to the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, or this Agreement, to provide prompt notice as required by the terms of the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, or this Agreement, after such party has actual knowledge of such Material Defect (knowledge shall not be deemed to exist by reason of the Custodial Exception Report), (iii) such Material Defect does not relate to the applicable Mortgage Loan not being a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, 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 and (iv) such delay precludes such Mortgage Loan Seller from curing such Material Defect.

 

Pursuant to each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, if there is a Material Defect with respect to one or more Mortgaged Properties with respect to a Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall 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 Property(ies) satisfy the requirements, if any, set forth in the Mortgage Loan documents and the related Mortgage Loan Seller provides an opinion of counsel to the effect that such release would not (A) cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or (B) result in the imposition of a tax upon either Trust REMIC or the issuing entity and (iii) each applicable Rating Agency has provided a Rating Agency Confirmation.

 

(c)         Subject to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s right to cure as contemplated above in this Section 2.03, and further subject to Section 2.01(b) and Section 2.01(c), any of the following shall cause a document in the Mortgage File to be deemed to have a “Defect” and to be conclusively presumed to materially and adversely affect the interests of Certificateholders in a Mortgage Loan (but solely with respect to clause (a)) and to be deemed to materially and adversely affect the interest of the Certificateholders in and the value of a Mortgage Loan: (a) the absence from the Mortgage File of the original signed Mortgage Note, unless the Mortgage File contains a signed lost note affidavit and indemnity with a copy of the Mortgage Note that appears to be regular on its face; (b) the absence from the Mortgage File of the original signed Mortgage that appears to be regular on its face, unless there is included in the Mortgage File either a copy of the Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon or a copy of the Mortgage and a certificate from the related Mortgage Loan Seller stating that the original signed Mortgage was sent for recordation; (c) the absence from the Mortgage File of the item called for by clause (viii) of the definition of Mortgage File; (d) the absence from the Mortgage File of any intervening assignments required to create a complete chain of assignments to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust, unless there is included in the Mortgage File either a copy of the assignment with evidence of recording thereon or a copy of the intervening assignment and a certificate from the related Mortgage Loan Seller stating that the original intervening assignments were sent for filing or recordation, as applicable; (e) the absence from the Mortgage File of any required letter of credit (except as permitted under Section 2.01(b)); or (f) with respect to any related leasehold Mortgage Loan, the absence from the related Mortgage File of a copy (or an original, if available) of the related Ground Lease; provided, however, that no Defect (except the Defects previously described in subclauses (a) through (f) of this Section 2.03(c)) shall be considered to materially and adversely affect the value of the related Mortgage Loan, the value of the related Mortgaged Property or the interests of the Trustee or Certificateholders unless the document with respect to which the Defect exists is required in connection with an imminent enforcement of the mortgagee’s rights or remedies under the related Mortgage Loan, defending any claim asserted by any Mortgagor or third party with respect to the related Mortgage Loan, establishing the validity or priority of any lien on any collateral securing the related Mortgage Loan or for any immediate significant servicing obligation; provided, further, that no Defect relating to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan previously described in subclauses (b) through (f) of this Section 2.03(c) shall be considered to materially and adversely affect the value of such Mortgage Loan, the value of the related Mortgaged Property or the interests of the Trustee or Certificateholders unless the related Mortgage Loan Seller, after receipt of notice of such Defect, is unable to produce a copy of the document with respect to which the Defect exists within a reasonable period after receiving such notice or otherwise establish that the original or copy, as applicable, of such document has been delivered, in compliance with the terms of the related Non-Serviced PSA, to the custodian under the related Non-Serviced PSA.

or a binding commitment to issue a lender’s title insurance policy, as provided in clause (viii) of the definition of Mortgage File herein, in lieu of the delivery of the actual policy of lender’s title insurance, shall not be considered a Material Defect with respect to any Mortgage File if such actual policy is delivered to the Custodian not later than eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a Mortgage Loan Seller has otherwise complied with its document delivery requirements under this Agreement and the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, in the event that the Custodian has acknowledged receipt pursuant to Section 2.02 above of a document that is part of the Mortgage File or a Mortgage Loan Seller can otherwise prove delivery of the document, and the Custodian subsequently loses a document, the fact that such document is lost may not be utilized as the basis for a claim of a Material Defect against a Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to Section 6(e) of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and/or this Section 2.03 and the Custodian shall be liable for any such loss to the extent provided for in Section 8.01 hereof.

 

(d)        In connection with any repurchase of, or substitution of a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for a Mortgage Loan contemplated by this Section 2.03, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each tender to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, upon delivery to each of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer of a trust receipt executed by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller evidencing such repurchase or substitution, all portions of the Mortgage File and other documents pertaining to such Mortgage Loan possessed by each of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer (other than attorney-client communications that are privileged communications), and each document that constitutes a part of the Mortgage File that was endorsed or assigned to the Trustee shall be endorsed or assigned, as the case may be to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller in the same manner as provided in Section 6 of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and, if applicable, the definition of “Mortgage File” herein, so as to vest in such Mortgage Loan Seller the legal and beneficial ownership of such repurchased or substituted Mortgage Loan (including property acquired in respect thereof and proceeds of any insurance policy with respect thereto) and the related Mortgage Loan documents.

 

(e)         Section 6 of each of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements provides the sole remedy available to the Certificateholders (subject to the limitations on the rights of the Certificateholders under this Agreement), or the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, with respect to any Defect in a Mortgage File or any Breach of any representation or warranty with respect to a Mortgage Loan set forth in or required to be made pursuant to Section 6 of any of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements.

 

(f)          The Master Servicer (in the case of Non-Specially Serviced Loans) or the Special Servicer (in the case of Specially Serviced Loans) shall, for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Trustee (as holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests), enforce the obligations of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller under the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, if any, shall be carried out in accordance with the Servicing Standard. Any costs incurred by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer with respect to the enforcement of the obligations of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller under the applicable Mortgage Loan

Purchase Agreement shall, to the extent not recovered from the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, be deemed to be Servicing Advances to the extent not otherwise provided for herein. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be reimbursed for the reasonable costs of such enforcement: first, from a specific recovery, if any, of costs, expenses or attorneys’ fees against the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller; second, pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(vii) herein out of the related Purchase Price, to the extent that such expenses are a specific component thereof; and third, if at the conclusion of such enforcement action it is determined that the amounts described in clauses first and second are insufficient, then pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(viii) herein out of general collections on the Mortgage Loans on deposit in the Collection Account. Any costs, expenses or attorneys’ fees related to a repurchase of a Companion Loan shall be paid pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement or pursuant to the documents related to an Other Securitization, if applicable.

 

(g)         If a Mortgage Loan Seller incurs any expense in connection with the curing of a Breach, which also constitutes a default under the related Mortgage Loan and is reimbursable thereunder, such Mortgage Loan Seller shall have a right, and shall be subrogated to the rights of the Trustee and the Trust under the Mortgage Loan to recover the amount of such expenses from the related Mortgagor; provided, however, that such Mortgage Loan Seller’s rights pursuant to this Section 2.03(g) shall be junior, subject and subordinate to the rights of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Trust, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to recover amounts owed by the related Mortgagor under the terms of such Mortgage Loan including, without limitation, the rights to recover unreimbursed Advances, accrued and unpaid interest on Advances at the Reimbursement Rate, fees owed to the Special Servicer, and unpaid or unreimbursed expenses of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Trust, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer allocable to such Mortgage Loan. The Master Servicer or, with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer, shall use reasonable efforts to recover such expenses for such Mortgage Loan Seller to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard, but taking into account the subordinate nature of the reimbursement to the related Mortgage Loan Seller; provided, however, that the Master Servicer or, with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer, determines in the exercise of its sole discretion consistent with the Servicing Standard that such actions by it will not impair the Master Servicer’s and/or the Special Servicer’s collection or recovery of principal, interest and other sums due with respect to the related Mortgage Loan that would otherwise be payable to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Certificateholders pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; provided, further, that the Master Servicer or, with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer, may waive the collection of amounts due on behalf of such Mortgage Loan Seller in its sole discretion in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

(k)         (i)  In the event an Initial Requesting Certificateholder delivers a written request to a party to this Agreement that a Mortgage Loan be repurchased by the applicable

 

-129-
 

 

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”), such party shall promptly forward that Certificateholder Repurchase Request to the related Mortgage Loan Seller and each other party to this Agreement. Subject to Section 2.03(l), the Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans) and the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) (the “Enforcing Servicer”) shall be the Enforcing Party with respect to the Repurchase Request.

 

(ii)         In the event that the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Operating Advisor (solely in its capacity as Operating Advisor) obtains knowledge of a Material Defect with respect to a Mortgage Loan, that party shall deliver prompt written notice of such Material Defect to each other party to this Agreement identifying the applicable Mortgage Loan and setting forth the basis for such allegation (an “PSA Party Repurchase Request” and, either a Certificateholder Repurchase Request or a PSA Party Repurchase Request, the “Repurchase Request”) and the Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) will be required to promptly send the PSA Party Repurchase Request to the related Mortgage Loan Seller. Prior to the occurrence of a Resolution Failure, the Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) shall act as the Enforcing Party and enforce the rights of the Trust against the related Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to a PSA Party Repurchase Request.

 

(iii)        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 described in Section 2.03(l) below shall applyReceipt of the Repurchase Request shall be deemed to occur two (2) Business Days after the Repurchase Request is sent to the related Mortgage Loan Seller.

 

After the Dispute Resolution Cut-off Date, if no Certificateholder or Certificate Owner has become a Requesting Certificateholder, no Certificateholder or Certificate Owner shall have the right to elect to refer the Repurchase Request to mediation or arbitration and the Enforcing Servicer, as the Enforcing Party, shall be the sole party entitled to enforce the Trust’s rights against the related Mortgage Loan Seller, subject to the consent or consultation rights of the Directing Certificateholder pursuant to Section 6.08.

 

(l)          (i) 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 or by a party to this Agreement), 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 (which shall be delivered via electronic mail to trustadministrationgroup@wellsfargo.com) who shall 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 (the “Proposed Course of Action”). Such notice shall include (a) a request to Certificateholders to indicate their agreement with or dissent from such Proposed

 

-130-
 

 

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 in the event any Certificateholder disagrees with the Proposed Course of Action, the Enforcing Servicer shall be compelled to follow the course of action agreed to and/or proposed by the majority of the responding Certificateholders that involves referring the matter to mediation or arbitration, as the case may be, (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 applicable Enforcing Servicer and the Certificate Administrator. 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 applicable Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to the Repurchase Request but 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, or (b) the Enforcing Servicer’s intended course of action is to pursue further action to exercise rights against the applicable 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 any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner delivers a Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice, and the Enforcing Servicer has also received responses from other Certificateholders or Certificate Owners supporting the Enforcing Servicer’s initial Proposed Course of Action, such responses shall be considered Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notices supporting the Proposed Course of Action. The Certificate Administrator shall 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 shall only count responses timely received and clearly indicating agreement or dissent with the related Proposed Course of Action and additional verbiage or qualifying language shall 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 shall be under no obligation to answer any questions from Certificateholders regarding such Proposed Course of Action. For the avoidance of doubt, the Certificate Administrator’s obligations in connection with this Section 2.03(l) shall be limited solely to tabulating Certificateholder responses of “agree” or “disagree” to the Proposed Course of Action, and such obligation shall 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 majority of the responding Certificateholders.

 

(ii)         If neither the Initial Requesting Certificateholder, if any, nor any other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner delivers a Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice prior to the Dispute Resolution Cut-off Date, no Certificateholder or Certificate

 

-131-
 

 

Owner shall have the right to refer the Repurchase Request to mediation or arbitration, and the Enforcing Servicer shall be the sole party entitled to enforce the Trust’s rights against the related Mortgage Loan Seller, subject to the consent or consultation rights of the Directing Certificateholder pursuant to Section 6.08.

 

(iii)        Promptly and in any event within 10 Business Days following receipt of a Preliminary Dispute Resolution Election Notice from (a) the Initial Requesting Certificateholder, if any, or (b) any other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner (each of clauses (a) and (b), 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 shall 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”).

 

(iv)        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 will remain obligated under this Agreement to enforce the rights of the Trust with respect to the Repurchase Request and no Certificateholder or Certificate Owner shall have any further right to elect to refer the matter to mediation or arbitration.

 

(v)         If a Requesting Certificateholder timely delivers a Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice to the Enforcing Servicer, then such Requesting Certificateholder shall 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 this Agreement 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 shall terminate and no Certificateholder or Certificate Owner shall 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 shall take no further action with respect to the Repurchase Request, then the related Material Defect shall be deemed waived for all purposes under this Agreement and the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, and

 

-132-
 

 

(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 shall again become the Enforcing Party and, as such, shall be the sole party entitled to enforce the Trust’s rights against the related Mortgage Loan Seller.

 

(vi)       Notwithstanding the foregoing, the dispute resolution provisions described above under this Section 2.03(l) will not apply, and the Enforcing Servicer shall 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.

 

(vii)      In the event a Requesting Certificateholder becomes the Enforcing Party, the Enforcing Servicer, on behalf of the Trust, shall remain a party to any proceedings against the related Mortgage Loan Seller.

 

   (m)    If the Enforcing Party selects mediation (including nonbinding arbitration), the following provisions shall apply:

 

(i)          The mediation shall be administered by a nationally recognized mediation services provider selected by the related Mortgage Loan Seller (such provider, the “Mediation Services Provider”) in accordance with published mediation procedures (the “Mediation Rules”) promulgated by the Mediation Services Provider.

 

(ii)         The mediator shall be impartial, an attorney and have at least fifteen (15) years of experience in commercial litigation and either commercial real estate finance or commercial mortgage-backed securitization matters or other complex commercial transactions and who will be appointed from a list of neutrals maintained by the Mediation Services Provider. Upon being supplied a list of at least ten potential mediators by the Mediation Services Provider each party will have the right to exercise two peremptory challenges within fourteen (14) days and to rank the remaining potential mediators in order of preference. The Mediation Services Provider shall select the mediator from the remaining attorneys on the list respecting the preference choices of the parties to the extent possible.

 

(iii)        The parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to conduct an organizational conference to begin the mediation within 10 Business Days of the selection of the mediator and to conclude the mediation within 60 days thereafter.

 

(iv)        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.

 

   (n)      If the Enforcing Party selects third-party arbitration, the following provisions will apply:

 

(i)          The arbitration shall be administered by a nationally recognized arbitration services provider selected by the related Mortgage Loan Seller (such provider, the

 

-133-
 

 

Arbitration Services Provider”) in accordance with published arbitration procedures (the “Arbitration Rules”) promulgated by the Arbitration Services Provider.

 

(ii)         The arbitrator shall be impartial, an attorney and have at least fifteen (15) years of experience in commercial litigation and either commercial real estate finance or commercial mortgage-backed securitization matters or other complex commercial transactions and who will be appointed from a list of neutrals maintained by the Arbitration Services Provider. Upon being supplied a list of at least ten potential arbitrators by the Arbitration Services Provider each party will have the right to exercise two peremptory challenges within fourteen (14) days and to rank the remaining potential arbitrators in order of preference. The Arbitration Services Provider will select the arbitrator from the remaining attorneys on the list respecting the preference choices of the parties to the extent possible.

 

(iii)        Prior to accepting an appointment, the arbitrator must promptly disclose any circumstances likely to create a reasonable inference of bias or conflict of interest or likely to preclude completion of the hearings within the prescribed time schedule.

 

(iv)        After consulting with the parties at an organizational conference held not later than 10 Business Days after its appointment, the arbitrator shall devise procedures and deadlines for the arbitration, to the extent not already agreed to by the parties, with the goal of expediting the proceeding and completing the arbitration within 120 days. The arbitrator shall have the authority to schedule, hear, and determine any and all motions, including dispositive and discovery motions, in accordance with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure for non-jury matters (the “Rules”) (including summary judgment and other prehearing and post hearing motions), and will do so by reasoned decision on the motion of any party to the arbitration.

 

(v)         Notwithstanding whatever other discovery may be available under the Rules, unless otherwise agreed by the parties, each party to the arbitration will be presumptively limited to the following discovery in the arbitration: (A) the parties shall reasonably and in good faith voluntarily produce to all other parties all documents upon which they intend to rely and all documents they reasonably and in good faith believe to be relevant to the claims or defenses asserted by any of the parties, (B) party witness depositions (excluding Rule 30b-6 witnesses), and (C) expert witness depositions, provided that the arbitrator shall have the ability to grant the parties, or either of them, additional discovery to the extent that the arbitrator determines good cause is shown that such additional discovery is reasonable and necessary.

 

(vi)        The arbitrator shall make its final determination no later than 30 days after the conclusion of the hearings and submission of any post-hearing submissions. The arbitrator shall resolve the dispute in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Agreement, 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 damages or consequential damages in any arbitration conducted by them. Interest on any monetary award shall bear interest from the date of the Final Dispute Resolution Election Notice at the Prime Rate. In its

 

-134-
 

 

final determination, the arbitrator shall determine and award the costs of the arbitration (including the fees of the arbitrator, cost of any record or transcript of the arbitration, and administrative fees) and shall award reasonable attorneys’ fees to the parties to the arbitration as determined by the arbitrator in its reasonable discretion. The determination of the arbitrator shall be by a reasoned decision in writing and counterpart copies will be promptly delivered to the parties. The final determination of the arbitrator shall be final and non-appealable, except for actions to confirm or vacate the determination permitted under federal or state law, and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.

 

(vii)       By selecting arbitration, the selecting party is giving up the right to sue in court, including the right to a trial by jury.

 

(viii)      No person may bring a putative or certificated class action to arbitration.

 

   (o)      The following provisions will apply to both mediation and third-party arbitration:

 

(i)          Any mediation or arbitration will be held in New York, New York unless another location is agreed by all parties;

 

(ii)         If the dispute involves a matter that cannot effectively be remedied by the payment of damages, or if there be any dispute relating to arbitration or the arbitrators that cannot be resolved promptly by the arbitrators or the Arbitration Services Provider, then any party in such instance may during the pendency of the arbitration proceedings seek temporary equitable remedies, pending the final decision of the arbitration panel, solely by application in the Southern District of New York if such court shall have subject matter jurisdiction, or if the Southern District of New York has no jurisdiction, then in the Supreme Court of the State of New York for the County of New York. The arbitration proceedings shall not be stayed unless so ordered by the court.

 

(iii)        The details and/or existence of any Repurchase Request, any informal meetings, mediations or arbitration proceedings conducted under this Section 2.03, including all offers, promises, conduct and statements, whether oral or written, made in the course of the parties’ attempt to informally resolve any Repurchase Request, will be confidential, privileged and inadmissible for any purpose, including impeachment, in any mediation, arbitration or litigation, or other proceeding (including any proceeding under this Section 2.03). Such information will be kept strictly confidential and will not be disclosed or shared with any third party (other than a party’s attorneys, experts, accountants and other agents and representatives, as reasonably required in connection with any resolution procedure under this Section 2.03), except as otherwise required by law, regulatory requirement or court order. If any party to a resolution procedure receives a subpoena or other request for information from a third party (other than a governmental regulatory body) for such confidential information, the recipient will promptly notify the other party to the resolution procedure and will provide the other party with a reasonable opportunity to object to the production of its confidential information.

 

-135-
 

 

(iv)        In the event a Requesting Certificateholder is the Enforcing Party, the agreement with the arbitrator or mediator, as the case may be, shall be required to contain an acknowledgment that the Trust, or the Enforcing Servicer on its behalf, shall 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 shall 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 shall be paid to the Trust, 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 Trust nor the Enforcing Servicer acting on its behalf shall be responsible for any such costs and expenses allocated to the Requesting Certificateholder.

 

(v)         In the event a Requesting Certificateholder is the Enforcing Party, the Requesting Certificateholder is 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.

 

(vi)        The Trust (or the Enforcing Servicer or the Trustee, acting on its behalf), the Depositor or any Mortgage Loan Seller shall 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 shall be required to agree to keep confidential the details related to the Repurchase Request and the dispute resolution identified in connection with such procedures; provided, however, that the Certificateholders shall be permitted to communicate prior to the commencement of any such proceedings to the extent provided in Section 5.06.

 

(vii)       For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the exercise of any right of a Requesting Certificateholder to refer a Repurchase Request to mediation or arbitration affect in any manner the ability of the Enforcing Servicer to perform its obligations with respect to a Mortgage Loan or the exercise of any rights of a Directing Certificateholder.

 

(viii)      Any out-of-pocket expenses required to be borne by the Enforcing Servicer in a mediation or arbitration shall be reimbursable as trust fund expenses.

tenth, in the case of an ARD Loan after the related Anticipated Repayment Date, any accrued but unpaid Excess Interest;

 

provided that if a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Non-Serviced Companion Loan comprising a Non-Serviced Whole Loan becomes an REO Loan, the treatment of the foregoing amounts with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan shall be subject to the terms of the related Non-Serviced Intercreditor Agreement and Non-Serviced PSA, in that order; provided, further, that with respect to each Mortgage Loan related to a Serviced Whole Loan, amounts collected with respect to the related Serviced Whole Loan shall be allocated first pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement and then, any amounts allocated to the related Serviced Mortgage Loan shall be subject to application as described above.

 

(iii)          Notwithstanding clauses (i) and (ii) above, such provisions shall not be deemed to affect the priority of distributions of payments pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. To the extent that such amounts are paid by a party other than a Mortgagor, such amounts shall be deemed to have been paid in respect of a purchase of all or part of the Mortgaged Property (in the case of Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds) and then paid by the Mortgagor under the Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan, as applicable, in accordance with Section 3.02(b)(ii) above.

 

(c)           To the extent consistent with the terms of the Mortgage Loans (and, with respect to each Serviced Whole Loan, the related Serviced Companion Loan and the related Intercreditor Agreement) and applicable law, the Master Servicer shall apply all Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds it receives on a day other than the Due Date to amounts due and owing under the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan as if such Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds were received on the Due Date immediately succeeding the month in which Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds were received and otherwise in accordance with Section 3.02(b)(ii) above.

 

(d)           In the event that the Master Servicer or Special Servicer receives Excess Interest prior to the Determination Date for any Collection Period, or receives notice from the related Mortgagor that the Master Servicer or Special Servicer will be receiving Excess Interest prior to the Determination Date for any Collection Period, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall notify the Trustee and Certificate Administrator two (2) Business Days prior to the related Distribution Date in the CREFC® Loan Periodic Update File. None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee shall be responsible for any failure of the related Mortgagor to pay any such Excess Interest or prepayment penalty. The preceding statements shall not, however, be construed to limit the provisions of Section 3.02(a).

 

-148-
 

 

(e)           With respect to any Mortgage Loan in connection with which the Mortgagor was required to escrow funds or to post a letter of credit related to obtaining certain performance objectives described in the applicable Mortgage Loan documents, the Master Servicer shall, to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard, hold such escrows, letters of credit and proceeds thereof as additional collateral and not apply such items to reduce the principal balance of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan, unless otherwise required to do so pursuant to the applicable Mortgage Loan documents, applicable law or court order.

 

(f)            Promptly following the Closing Date, in the case of any Non-Serviced Whole Loan, the Certificate Administrator shall send written notice (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit T) to the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer (with a copy to any other applicable party set forth on the schedule of addresses to Exhibit T) stating that, as of such date, the Trustee is the holder of the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and directing such Non-Serviced Master Servicer to remit to the Master Servicer all amounts payable to, and to forward, deliver or otherwise make available, as the case may be, to the Master Servicer all reports, statements, documents, communications and other information that are to be forwarded, delivered or otherwise made available to, the holder of such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan under the related Non-Serviced Intercreditor Agreement and the related Non-Serviced PSA. The Master Servicer shall, within two (2) Business Days of receipt of properly identified funds, deposit into the Collection Account all amounts received with respect to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the related Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property or any related REO Property.

 

Section 3.03           Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Servicing Accounts. (a)  The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more accounts (the “Servicing Accounts”), into which all Escrow Payments shall be deposited and retained, and shall administer such Servicing Accounts in accordance with the Mortgage Loan documents and, if applicable, the Companion Loan documents, as the case may be. Any Servicing Account related to a Serviced Whole Loan shall be held for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the related Serviced Companion Noteholder collectively, but this shall not be construed to modify respective interests of either noteholder therein as set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement. Amounts on deposit in Servicing Accounts may only be invested in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents and Companion Loan documents, as applicable, or in Permitted Investments in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.06. Servicing Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts to the extent permitted by the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents. Withdrawals of amounts so deposited from a Servicing Account may be made only to: (i) effect payment of items for which Escrow Payments were collected and comparable items; (ii) reimburse the Trustee and then the Master Servicer, if applicable, for any Servicing Advances; (iii) refund to Mortgagors any sums as may be determined to be overages; (iv) pay interest to Mortgagors on balances in the Servicing Account, if required by applicable law or the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan and as described below or, if not so required, to the Master Servicer; (v) after the occurrence of an event of default under the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan, apply amounts to the indebtedness under the applicable Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan; (vi) withdraw amounts deposited in error; (vii) pay Penalty Charges to the extent permitted by the related Mortgage Loan documents; or (viii) clear and terminate the Servicing Account at the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.01. As part of its servicing duties, the Master Servicer

 

-149-
 

 

shall pay or cause to be paid to the Mortgagors interest on funds in Servicing Accounts, to the extent required by law or the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan; provided, however, that in no event shall the Master Servicer be required to remit to any Mortgagor any amounts in excess of actual net investment income or funds in the related Servicing Account. If allowed by the related Mortgage Loan documents and applicable law, the Master Servicer may charge the related Mortgagor an administrative fee for maintenance of the Servicing Accounts.

 

(b)           The Special Servicer, in the case of REO Loans (other than any REO Loan succeeding a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), and the Master Servicer, in the case of all other Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and each Serviced Companion Loan, shall maintain accurate records with respect to each related Mortgaged Property reflecting the status of real estate taxes, assessments and other similar items that are or may become a lien thereon and the status of insurance premiums and any ground rents payable in respect thereof. The Special Servicer, in the case of REO Loans (other than any REO Loan succeeding a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), and the Master Servicer, in the case of all other Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and each Serviced Companion Loan, shall use reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such items (including renewal premiums) and shall effect payment thereof from the REO Account or by the Master Servicer as Servicing Advances prior to the applicable penalty or termination date and, in any event, prior to the institution of foreclosure or similar proceedings with respect to the related Mortgaged Property for nonpayment of such items, employing for such purpose Escrow Payments (which shall be so applied by the Master Servicer at the written direction of the Special Servicer in the case of REO Loans) as allowed under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and Companion Loan. Other than with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall service and administer any reserve accounts (including monitoring, maintaining or changing the amounts of required escrows) in accordance with the terms of such Mortgage Loan and the related Serviced Companion Loan and the Servicing Standard. To the extent that a Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Companion Loan does not require a Mortgagor to escrow for the payment of real estate taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, ground rents (if applicable) and similar items, the Special Servicer, in the case of REO Loans, and the Master Servicer, in the case of all other Mortgage Loans or Companion Loan that it is responsible for servicing hereunder, shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the Mortgagor to comply with its obligation to make payments in respect of such items at the time they first become due and, in any event, prior to the institution of foreclosure or similar proceedings with respect to the related Mortgaged Property for nonpayment of such items.

 

(c)            In accordance with the Servicing Standard and for each Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans) and each Serviced Whole Loan, the Master Servicer shall advance all such funds as are necessary for the purpose of effecting the payment of (i) real estate taxes, assessments and other similar items that are or may become a lien thereon, (ii) ground rents (if applicable) and (iii) premiums on Insurance Policies, in each instance if and to the extent Escrow Payments collected from the related Mortgagor (or related REO Revenues, if applicable) are insufficient to pay such item when due and the related Mortgagor has failed to pay such item on a timely basis, and provided, however, that the particular advance would not, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance and provided, further, however, that with

 

-150-
 

 

respect to the payment of taxes and assessments, the Master Servicer shall not be required to make such advance until the later of five (5) Business Days after the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as the case may be, has received confirmation that such item has not been paid or the date prior to the date after which any penalty or interest would accrue in respect of such taxes or assessments. The Special Servicer shall give the Master Servicer and the Trustee no less than five (5) Business Days’ written (facsimile or electronic) notice before the date on which the Master Servicer is requested to make any Servicing Advance with respect to a given Specially Serviced Loan or REO Property; provided, however, that only two (2) Business Days’ written (facsimile or electronic) notice shall be required in respect of Servicing Advances required to be made on an emergency or urgent basis provided, further, that the Special Servicer shall not be entitled to make such a request (other than for Servicing Advances required to be made on an urgent or emergency basis) more frequently than once per calendar month (although such request may relate to more than one Servicing Advance). The Master Servicer may pay the aggregate amount of such Servicing Advances listed on a monthly request to the Special Servicer, in which case the Special Servicer shall remit such Servicing Advances to the ultimate payees. The Special Servicer shall have no obligation to make any Servicing Advances; provided that in an urgent or emergency situation requiring the making of a Servicing Advance, the Special Servicer may make a Servicing Advance. Within five (5) Business Days of making such a Servicing Advance, the Special Servicer shall deliver to the Master Servicer request for reimbursement for such Servicing Advance, along with all information and documentation in the Special Servicer’s possession regarding the subject Servicing Advance as the Master Servicer may reasonably request, and the Master Servicer shall be obligated, out of such Master Servicer’s own funds, to reimburse the Special Servicer for any unreimbursed Servicing Advances (other than Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances) made by the Special Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof), together with interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate from the date made to, but not including, the date of reimbursement. Such reimbursement and any accompanying payment of interest shall be made within five (5) Business Days of the written request therefor pursuant to the preceding sentence by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Special Servicer. Upon the Master Servicer’s reimbursement to the Special Servicer of any Servicing Advance and payment to the Special Servicer of interest thereon, all in accordance with this Section 3.03, the Master Servicer shall for all purposes of this Agreement be deemed to have made such Servicing Advance at the same time as the Special Servicer actually made such Servicing Advance, and accordingly, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such Servicing Advance, together with interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate, at the same time, in the same manner and to the same extent as the Master Servicer would otherwise have been entitled if it had actually made such Servicing Advance at the time the Special Servicer did. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.03, the Master Servicer shall not be required to reimburse the Special Servicer for any such Servicing Advance if the Master Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such Servicing Advance, although not characterized by the Special Servicer as a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, is in fact a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. The Master Servicer shall notify the Special Servicer in writing of such determination and, if applicable, such Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance shall be reimbursed to the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.05 of this Agreement.

 

Any request by the Special Servicer that the Master Servicer make a Servicing Advance shall be deemed to be a determination by the Special Servicer that such requested

 

-151-
 

 

Servicing Advance is not a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such determination, provided that the determination shall not be binding on the Master Servicer or Trustee. On the first Business Day after the Determination Date for the related Distribution Date, the Special Servicer shall report to the Master Servicer if the Special Servicer determines any Servicing Advance previously made by the Master Servicer with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan or REO Loan is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such a determination, but such determination shall not be binding upon the Master Servicer, and shall in no way limit the ability of the Master Servicer in the absence of such determination to make its own determination that any Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance. If the Special Servicer makes a determination that only a portion of, and not all of, any previously made or proposed Servicing Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Master Servicer shall have the right to make its own subsequent determination that any remaining portion of any such previously made or proposed Servicing Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance. All such Advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance from related collections from the Mortgagors and further as provided in Section 3.05(a). No costs incurred by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in effecting the payment of real estate taxes, assessments and, if applicable, ground rents on or in respect of the Mortgaged Properties shall, for purposes hereof, including, without limitation, the Certificate Administrator’s calculation of monthly distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid principal balances of the related Mortgage Loans or any related Serviced Companion Loan, if applicable, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loans or related Serviced Companion Loan, if applicable, so permit. If the Master Servicer fails to make any required Servicing Advance as and when due (including any applicable cure periods), to the extent the Trustee has actual knowledge of such failure, the Trustee shall make such Servicing Advance pursuant to Section 7.05. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Servicing Advance shall be required hereunder if such Servicing Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. In addition, the Master Servicer shall consider Unliquidated Advances in respect of prior Servicing Advances for purposes of nonrecoverability determinations. The Special Servicer shall have no obligation to make any Servicing Advances under this Agreement.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.03(c), the Master Servicer shall not be required to reimburse the Special Servicer out of its own funds for, or to make at the direction of the Special Servicer, any Servicing Advance if the Master Servicer determines that such Servicing Advance, although not characterized by the Special Servicer as a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. The Master Servicer shall notify the Special Servicer in writing of such determination and, if applicable, such Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance shall be reimbursed to the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.05(a).

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.03(c), the Master Servicer may in its good faith judgment elect (but shall not be required unless directed by the Special Servicer with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and REO Loans) to make a payment from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account (or any Companion Distribution Account maintained as a subaccount thereof by a Companion Paying Agent, if applicable) (which shall be deemed first made from amounts distributable as principal and then from all other amounts comprising general collections) to pay for certain expenses set forth below

 

-152-
 

 

notwithstanding that the Master Servicer (or Special Servicer, as applicable) has determined that a Servicing Advance with respect to such expenditure would be a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance (unless, with respect to Specially Serviced Loans or REO Loans, the Special Servicer has notified the Master Servicer to not make such expenditure), where making such expenditure would prevent (i) the related Mortgaged Property from being uninsured or being sold at a tax sale or (ii) any event that would cause a loss of the priority of the lien of the related Mortgage, or the loss of any security for the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan; provided that in each instance, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard (as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee) that making such expenditure is in the best interest of the Certificateholders (and, if applicable, the Companion Holders), all as a collective whole (taking into account the subordinate or pari passu nature of any Companion Loans, as the case may be). The Master Servicer or Trustee may elect to obtain reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances from the Trust pursuant to the terms of Section 3.17(c). The parties acknowledge that pursuant to the applicable Non-Serviced PSA, the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer is obligated to make servicing advances with respect to the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan. The applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan (with, in each case, any accrued and unpaid interest thereon provided for under the applicable Non-Serviced PSA) in the manner set forth in the applicable Non-Serviced PSA and the applicable Non-Serviced Intercreditor Agreement.

 

(d)           In connection with its recovery of any Servicing Advance out of the Collection Account (or any Companion Distribution Account maintained as a subaccount thereof by the Companion Paying Agent, if applicable) pursuant to Section 3.05(a), the Trustee, the Special Servicer and then the Master Servicer, as the case may be and in that order, shall be entitled to receive, out of any amounts then on deposit in the Collection Account interest at the Reimbursement Rate in effect from time to time, accrued on the amount of such Servicing Advance from the date made to, but not including, the date of reimbursement. Subject to Section 3.17(c), the Master Servicer shall reimburse itself, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, for any outstanding Servicing Advance as soon as practically possible after funds available for such purpose are deposited in the Collection Account (or any Companion Distribution Account maintained as a subaccount thereof by the Companion Paying Agent, if applicable) subject to the Master Servicer’s or the Trustee’s options and rights to defer recovery of such amounts as provided herein; provided, however, that such Master Servicer’s or Trustee’s options and rights to defer recovery of such amounts shall not alter the Master Servicer’s obligation to reimburse the Special Servicer for any outstanding Servicing Advance as provided for in this sentence. To the extent amounts on deposit in the Companion Distribution Account with respect to the related Companion Loan are insufficient for any such reimbursement, the Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to enforce the rights of the holder of the related Mortgage Loan under the related Intercreditor Agreement to obtain any reimbursement available from the holder of the related Companion Loan.

 

(e)          To the extent an operations and maintenance plan is required to be established and executed pursuant to the terms of a Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), the Master Servicer shall request from the Mortgagor written confirmation thereof within a reasonable time after the later of the Closing Date and the date as of which plan

 

-153-
 

 

is required to be established or completed. To the extent any repairs, capital improvements, actions or remediations are required to have been taken or completed pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), the Master Servicer shall request from the Mortgagor written confirmation of such actions and remediations within a reasonable time after the later of the Closing Date and the date as of which action or remediations are required to be or to have been taken or completed. To the extent a Mortgagor shall fail to promptly respond to any inquiry described in this Section 3.03(e), the Master Servicer shall report any such failure to the Special Servicer within a reasonable time after the date as of which actions or remediations are required to be or to have been taken or completed.

 

Section 3.04           The Collection Account, the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Companion Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account and the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account. (a)  The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain, or cause to be established and maintained, a Collection Account in which the Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited, in no event later than the second Business Day following receipt of available and properly identified funds (in the case of payments by Mortgagors or other collections on the Mortgage Loans or Companion Loans), except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the following payments and collections received or made by or on behalf of it subsequent to the Cut-off Date (other than in respect of principal and interest on the Mortgage Loans or Companion Loans due and payable on or before the Cut-off Date, which payments shall be delivered promptly to the appropriate Mortgage Loan Seller or its respective designee and other than any amounts received from Mortgagors which are received in connection with the purchase of defeasance collateral), or payments (other than Principal Prepayments) received by it on or prior to the Cut-off Date but allocable to a period subsequent thereto:

 

(i)            all payments on account of principal, including Principal Prepayments on the Mortgage Loans or principal prepayments on Serviced Companion Loans;

 

(ii)           all payments on account of interest on the Mortgage Loans or the Serviced Companion Loans, including Excess Interest, Yield Maintenance Charges and Default Interest;

 

(iii)          late payment charges and other Penalty Charges to the extent required to offset interest on Advances and additional expenses of the Trust (other than Special Servicing Fees, Workout Fees or Liquidation Fees) as required by Section 3.11(d);

 

(iv)         all Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds (other than Gain-on-Sale Proceeds or Non-Serviced Gain-on-Sale Proceeds) received in respect of any Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan or REO Property (other than (A) Liquidation Proceeds that are received in connection with the purchase by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, or the Holders of the Class R Certificates of all the Mortgage Loans and any REO Properties in the Trust Fund and that are to be deposited in the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account pursuant to Section 9.01 and (B) any proceeds that are received in connection with the purchase, if any, of a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan from a securitization by the related mortgage loan seller, which shall be paid directly to the servicer of such

 

-154-
 

 

securitization) together with any recovery of Unliquidated Advances in respect of the related Mortgage Loans;

 

(v)           any amounts required to be transferred from the REO Account pursuant to Section 3.14(c);

 

(vi)          any amounts required to be deposited by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.06 in connection with losses incurred with respect to Permitted Investments of funds held in the Collection Account; and

 

(vii)         any amounts required to be deposited by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.07(b) in connection with losses resulting from a deductible clause in a blanket hazard or master single interest policy.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing requirements, the Master Servicer need not deposit into the Collection Account any amount that the Master Servicer would be authorized to withdraw immediately from such account in accordance with the terms of Section 3.05 and shall be entitled to instead immediately pay such amount directly to the Person(s) entitled thereto; provided that such amounts shall be applied in accordance with the terms hereof and shall be reported as if deposited in such Collection Account and then withdrawn.

 

The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Collection Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, actual payments from Mortgagors in the nature of Escrow Payments, charges for beneficiary statements or demands, assumption fees, modification fees, extension fees, defeasance fees, amounts collected for Mortgagor checks returned for insufficient funds or other amounts the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer would be entitled to retain as additional servicing compensation need not be deposited by the Master Servicer in the Collection Account. If the Master Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from the Collection Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. Assumption, extension and modification fees actually received from Mortgagors on Specially Serviced Loans shall be promptly delivered to the Special Servicer as additional servicing compensation.

 

Upon receipt of any of the foregoing amounts in clauses (i) through (iv) above with respect to any Specially Serviced Loans, the Special Servicer shall remit within one (1) Business Day such amounts to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account, in accordance with this Section 3.04(a). Any such amounts received by the Special Servicer with respect to an REO Property shall be deposited by the Special Servicer into the REO Account and remitted to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account, pursuant to Section 3.14(c). With respect to any such amounts paid by check to the order of the Special Servicer, the Special Servicer shall endorse without recourse or warranty such check to the order of the Master Servicer and shall promptly deliver any such check to the Master Servicer by overnight courier. Funds in the Collection Account may only be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.06. As of the Closing Date, the Collection Account for the Master Servicer shall be located at the offices of KeyBank National Association. The Master Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee, the Special Servicer, the

Certificate Administrator and the Depositor of the new location of the Collection Account prior to any change thereof.

 

(b)          The Certificate Administrator, on behalf of the Trustee, shall establish and maintain (i) the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account and the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders (other than the Holders of Class Z Certificates) and the Trustee as Holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests, (ii) the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account for the benefit of the Certificateholders (other than the Holders of Class Z Certificates) and the Trustee as Holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and (iii) the Excess Interest Distribution Account for the benefit of the Holders of the Class Z Certificates. The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Certificate Administrator each month on or before the P&I Advance Date therein, for deposit (x) in the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, that portion of the Available Funds attributable to the Mortgage Loans (in each case, calculated without regard to clauses (a)(iii)(B), (a)(iv), (c) and (d) of the definition of Available Funds) for, and any Yield Maintenance Charges with respect to the Mortgage Loans distributable on, the related Distribution Date and (y) in the Excess Interest Distribution Account all Excess Interest for the related Distribution Date then on deposit in the Collection Account after giving effect to withdrawals of funds pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(ii). For the avoidance of doubt, so long as Wells Fargo Bank, National Association is the Certificate Administrator, all funds held in the Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account and the Excess Interest Distribution Account shall remain uninvested.

 

With respect to each Companion Loan (excluding any Non-Serviced Companion Loan), the Companion Paying Agent shall establish and maintain the Companion Distribution Account, which may be a subaccount of the Collection Account, for distributions to each Companion Holder, to be held for the benefit of the related Companion Holder and shall, promptly upon receipt, deposit in the Companion Distribution Account any and all amounts received by the Companion Paying Agent that are required by the terms of this Agreement or the applicable Intercreditor Agreement to be deposited therein; provided, however, that the Companion Paying Agent shall separately track for each Serviced Companion Loan all amounts deposited with respect to such Serviced Companion Loan. The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Companion Paying Agent each month, on or before the P&I Advance Date therein, for deposit in the Companion Distribution Account, an aggregate amount of immediately available funds, to the extent received with respect to the related Serviced Whole Loan, to the extent of available funds, equal to the amount to be distributed to the related Companion Holder pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the related Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding the preceding, the following provisions shall apply to remittances relating to the Serviced Companion Loans that have been deposited into an Other Securitization: (1) on each Serviced Whole Loan Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall withdraw from the Collection Account (or applicable portion thereof) an aggregate amount equal to all payments and/or collections actually received on, and payable to, such Serviced Companion Loans prior to such dates; provided, however, that in no event shall the Master Servicer be required to transfer to the Companion Distribution Account any portion thereof that is payable or reimbursable to or at the direction of any party to this Agreement under the other provisions of this Agreement and/or the related Intercreditor Agreement; and (2) on each Serviced Whole Loan Remittance Date, the Companion Paying Agent shall make the payments and remittance described in Section 4.01(k),

(iv)          any Yield Maintenance Charges with respect to the Mortgage Loans actually collected; and

 

(v)           any other amounts required to be so delivered for deposit in the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

(i)           The Companion Paying Agent may, from time to time, make withdrawals from the Companion Distribution Account to make distributions pursuant to Section 4.01(k).

 

Section 3.06           Investment of Funds in the Collection Account and the REO Account. (a)  The Master Servicer (or, in the case of a Servicing Account maintained by

 

-170-
 

 

or for it, the Special Servicer) may direct any depository institution maintaining the Collection Account, the Companion Distribution Account, or any Servicing Account (for purposes of this Section 3.06, an “Investment Account”), the Special Servicer may direct any depository institution maintaining the REO Account or Loss of Value Reserve Fund (also for purposes of this Section 3.06, an “Investment Account”) to invest or if it is such depository institution, may itself invest, the funds held therein, only in one or more Permitted Investments bearing interest or sold at a discount, and maturing, unless payable on demand, (i) no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the next succeeding date on which funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if a Person other than the depository institution maintaining such account is the obligor thereon and (ii) no later than the date on which funds are required to be withdrawn from such account pursuant to this Agreement, if the depository institution maintaining such account is the obligor thereon. All such Permitted Investments shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand. Any funds held in an Investment Account shall be held in the name of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, on behalf of the Trustee (in its capacity as such) for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Master Servicer (in the case of the Collection Account, the Companion Distribution Account or any Servicing Account maintained by or for the Master Servicer), the Special Servicer (in the case of the REO Account, Loss of Value Reserve Fund or any Servicing Account maintained by or for the Special Servicer) on behalf of the Trustee, shall maintain continuous physical possession of any Permitted Investment of amounts in the Collection Account, the Companion Distribution Account, the Servicing Accounts, Loss of Value Reserve Fund or REO Account, as applicable, that is either (i) a “certificated security,” as such term is defined in the UCC (such that the Trustee shall have control pursuant to Section 8-106 of the UCC) or (ii) other property in which a secured party may perfect its security interest by physical possession under the UCC or any other applicable law. In the case of any Permitted Investment held in the form of a “security entitlement” (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(17) of the UCC), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall take or cause to be taken such action as the Trustee deems reasonably necessary to cause the Trustee to have control over such security entitlement. In the event amounts on deposit in an Investment Account are at any time invested in a Permitted Investment payable on demand, the Master Servicer (in the case of the Collection Account, the Companion Distribution Account or any Servicing Account maintained by or for the Master Servicer) or the Special Servicer (in the case of the REO Account or any Servicing Account maintained by or for the Special Servicer) shall:

 

(i)            consistent with any notice required to be given thereunder, demand that payment thereon be made on the last day such Permitted Investment may otherwise mature hereunder in an amount equal to the lesser of (a) all amounts then payable thereunder and (b) the amount required to be withdrawn on such date; and

 

(ii)           demand payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly upon determination by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as the case may be, that such Permitted Investment would not constitute a Permitted Investment in respect of funds thereafter on deposit in the Investment Account.

 

(b)           Interest and investment income realized on funds deposited in the Collection Account, the Companion Distribution Account or any Servicing Account maintained by or for the Master Servicer to the extent of the Net Investment Earnings, if any, with respect to

 

-171-
 

 

such account for the period from and including the prior Distribution Date to and including the P&I Advance Date related to the current Distribution Date, shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Master Servicer to the extent (with respect to Servicing Accounts) not required to be paid to the related Mortgagor and shall be subject to its withdrawal, or withdrawal at its direction, in accordance with Section 3.03 or Section 3.05(a), as the case may be. Interest and investment income realized on funds deposited in the REO Account, Loss of Value Reserve Fund or any Servicing Account maintained by or for the Special Servicer, to the extent of the Net Investment Earnings, if any, with respect to such account for each period from and including any Distribution Date to and including the immediately succeeding P&I Advance Date, shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Special Servicer and shall be subject to its withdrawal in accordance with Section 3.14(c). In the event that any loss shall be incurred in respect of any Permitted Investment (as to which the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, would have been entitled to any Net Investment Earnings hereunder) directed to be made by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, and on deposit in any of the Collection Account, the Companion Distribution Account, the Servicing Account, Loss of Value Reserve Fund or the REO Account, the Master Servicer (in the case of the Collection Account, the Companion Distribution Account or any Servicing Account maintained by or for the Master Servicer), the Special Servicer (in the case of the REO Account, Loss of Value Reserve Fund or any Servicing Account maintained by or for the Special Servicer) shall deposit therein, no later than the P&I Advance Date, without right of reimbursement, the amount of Net Investment Loss, if any, with respect to such account for the period from and including the prior Distribution Date to and including the P&I Advance Date related to the current Distribution Date; provided that neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be required to deposit any loss on an investment of funds in an Investment Account if such loss is incurred solely as a result of the insolvency of the federal or state chartered depository institution or trust company that holds such Investment Account, so long as such depository institution or trust company satisfied the qualifications set forth in the definition of Eligible Account at the time such investment was made (and, with respect to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, such federal or state chartered depository institution or trust company is not an Affiliate of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer unless such depository institution or trust company satisfied the qualification set forth in the definition of Eligible Account both (x) at the time the investment was made and (y) thirty (30) days prior to such insolvency).

 

(c)           Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any default occurs in the making of a payment due under any Permitted Investment, or if a default occurs in any other performance required under any Permitted Investment, the Master Servicer may and, upon the request of Holders of Certificates entitled to a majority of the Voting Rights allocated to any Class shall, take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution and prosecution of appropriate proceedings.

 

Section 3.07           Maintenance of Insurance Policies; Errors and Omissions and Fidelity Coverage. (a)  The Master Servicer (with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Serviced Companion Loan) shall use its efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the Mortgagor to maintain (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), and the Special Servicer (with respect to REO Properties other than any Non-Serviced Mortgaged Properties) shall maintain, to the extent required by the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents, all insurance coverage as is

 

-172-
 

 

required under the related Mortgage Loan documents except to the extent that the failure of the related Mortgagor to do so is an Acceptable Insurance Default (and except as provided in the next sentence with respect to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable). If the Mortgagor does not so maintain such insurance coverage, subject to its recoverability determination with respect to any required Servicing Advance, the Master Servicer (with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Serviced Companion Loan) or the Special Servicer (with respect to REO Properties other than a Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) shall maintain all insurance coverage as is required under the related Mortgage, but only in the event the Trustee has an insurable interest therein and such insurance is available to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer and, if available, can be obtained at commercially reasonable rates, as determined ((i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan, any determination that such insurance coverage is not available or not available at commercially reasonable rates to be made with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder by the Master Servicer (with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Serviced Companion Loan) or the Special Servicer (with respect to REO Properties other than any Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) except to the extent that the failure of the related Mortgagor to do so is an Acceptable Insurance Default as determined by the Special Servicer ((i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan, with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder); provided, however, that if any Mortgage permits the holder thereof to dictate to the Mortgagor the insurance coverage to be maintained on such Mortgaged Property, the Master Servicer or, with respect to REO Property, the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall impose or maintain, as applicable, such insurance requirements as are consistent with the Servicing Standard taking into account the insurance in place at the closing of the Mortgage Loan, provided 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 Mortgagor to maintain (or to itself maintain) insurance against property damage resulting from terrorist or similar acts unless the Mortgagor’s failure is an Acceptable Insurance Default (as determined by the Special Servicer with ((i) unless a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and (ii) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan) the consent of the Directing Certificateholder) and only in the event the Trustee has an insurable interest therein and such insurance is available to the Master Servicer and, if available, can be obtained at commercially reasonable rates. The Master Servicer and Special Servicer shall be entitled to rely on insurance consultants (at the applicable servicer’s expense) in determining whether any insurance is available at commercially reasonable rates. Subject to Section 3.15(a) and the costs of such insurance being reimbursed or paid to the Special Servicer as provided in the third-to-last sentence of this paragraph, the Special Servicer shall maintain (except to the extent that the failure to maintain such insurance coverage is an Acceptable Insurance Default) for each REO Property (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) no less insurance coverage than was previously required of the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage Loan documents unless the Special Servicer determines ((i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan, with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder) that such insurance is not available at commercially reasonable rates or that the Trustee does not have an insurable interest, in which case the Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the Special Servicer’s determination. All Insurance Policies

 

-173-
 

 

maintained by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall (i) contain a “standard” mortgagee clause, with loss payable to the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee (in the case of insurance maintained in respect of Mortgage Loans (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), including any related Serviced Companion Loan, other than REO Properties) or to the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trustee (in the case of insurance maintained in respect of REO Properties), (ii) be in the name of the Trustee (in the case of insurance maintained in respect of REO Properties), (iii) include coverage in an amount not less than the lesser of (x) the full replacement cost of the improvements securing Mortgaged Property or the REO Property, as applicable, and (y) the outstanding principal balance owing on the related Mortgage Loan (including any related Serviced Companion Loan) or REO Loan, as applicable, and in any event, the amount necessary to avoid the operation of any co-insurance provisions, (iv) include a replacement cost endorsement providing no deduction for depreciation (unless such endorsement is not permitted under the related Mortgage Loan documents), (v) be noncancelable without thirty (30) days prior written notice to the insured party (except in the case of nonpayment, in which case such policy shall not be cancelled without ten (10) days prior notice) and (vi) subject to the first proviso in the second sentence of this Section 3.07(a), be issued by a Qualified Insurer authorized under applicable law to issue such Insurance Policies. Any amounts collected by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer under any such Insurance Policies (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property or amounts to be released to the related Mortgagor, in each case in accordance with the Servicing Standard and the provisions of the related Mortgage Loan documents) shall be deposited in the Collection Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.05(a). Any costs incurred by the Master Servicer in maintaining any such Insurance Policies in respect of Mortgage Loans (including any related Serviced Companion Loan) (other than REO Properties and other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) (i) if the Mortgagor defaults on its obligation to do so, shall be advanced by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance (so long as such Advance would not be a Nonrecoverable Advance and if such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance then such cost shall instead be paid out of the Collection Account) and will be charged to the related Mortgagor and (ii) shall not, for purposes of calculating monthly distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan and Serviced Companion Loan (if any), notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan so permit. Any cost incurred by the Special Servicer in maintaining any such Insurance Policies with respect to REO Properties shall be an expense of the Trust payable out of the related REO Account pursuant to Section 3.14(c) or, if the amount on deposit therein is insufficient therefor, advanced by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance (so long as such Advance would not be a Nonrecoverable Advance and if such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance then such cost shall instead be paid out of the Collection Account). The foregoing provisions of this Section 3.07 shall apply to any Serviced Whole Loan as if it were a single “Mortgage Loan”. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, 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 such insurance was required at the time of origination of the related Mortgage Loan and is currently available at commercially reasonable rates.

 

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 Mortgagor to maintain “all risk” property insurance (and do not expressly permit an

 

-174-
 

 

exclusion for terrorism) or (y) contain provisions generally requiring the applicable Mortgagor to maintain insurance in types and against such risks as the holder of such Mortgage Loan (including 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 Additional Exclusions, (B) request the Mortgagor 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) notify the Special Servicer if it has knowledge that any insurance policy contains Additional Exclusions or if it has knowledge (such knowledge to be based upon the Master Servicer’s compliance with the immediately preceding clauses (A) and (B) above) that any Mortgagor fails to purchase the insurance requested to be purchased by the Master Servicer pursuant to clause (B) above. If the Special Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such failure is not an Acceptable Insurance Default, the Special Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer and the Master Servicer shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause such insurance to be maintained. The Special Servicer (at the expense of the Trust) shall be entitled to rely on insurance consultants in making such determinations. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to rely on insurance consultants (at the expense of such Master Servicer) in determining whether Additional Exclusions exist. Furthermore, the Special Servicer shall 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 ten (10) highest outstanding Stated Principal Balances of all of the Mortgage Loans then included in the Trust or (ii) comprise more than 5% of the outstanding Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans then included in the Trust. During the period that the Special Servicer is evaluating the availability of such insurance or waiting for a response from the Directing Certificateholder, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be liable for any loss related to its failure to require the Mortgagor to maintain such insurance and will not be in default of its obligations as a result of such failure unless the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is required to take any immediate action pursuant to the Servicing Standard or other servicing requirements of this Agreement and the Master Servicer will not itself maintain such insurance or cause such insurance to be maintained.

 

(b)           (i)  If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall obtain and maintain a blanket Insurance Policy with a Qualified Insurer insuring against fire and hazard losses on all of the Mortgage Loans (including any related Serviced Companion Loan, but excluding any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or REO Properties (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property), as the case may be, required to be serviced and administered hereunder, then, to the extent such Insurance Policy provides protection equivalent to the individual policies otherwise required, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligation to cause fire and hazard insurance to be maintained on the related Mortgaged Properties or REO Properties. Such Insurance Policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall, if there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a fire and hazard Insurance Policy complying with the requirements of Section 3.07(a), and there shall have been one or more losses which would have been covered by such Insurance Policy, promptly deposit into the Collection Account from its own funds the amount of such loss or losses that would have been covered under the individual policy but are not covered under the blanket Insurance Policy

 

-175-
 

 

because of such deductible clause to the extent that any such deductible exceeds the deductible limitation that pertained to the related Mortgage Loan (including any related Serviced Companion Loan), or in the absence of such deductible limitation, the deductible limitation which is consistent with the Servicing Standard. In connection with its activities as administrator and Master Servicer of the Mortgage Loans or any Serviced Companion Loans, the Master Servicer agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and Certificateholders, claims under any such blanket Insurance Policy in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy. The Special Servicer, to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard, may maintain, earthquake insurance on REO Properties (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property), provided coverage is available at commercially reasonable rates, the cost of which shall be a Servicing Advance.

 

(ii)           If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall cause any Mortgaged Property or REO Property to be covered by a master single interest or force-placed insurance policy with a Qualified Insurer naming the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trustee as the loss payee, then to the extent such Insurance Policy provides protection equivalent to the individual policies otherwise required, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligation to cause such insurance to be maintained on the related Mortgaged Properties and REO Properties. In the event the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall cause any Mortgaged Property or REO Property to be covered by such master single interest or force-placed insurance policy, the incremental costs of such insurance applicable to such Mortgaged Property or REO Property (i.e., other than any minimum or standby premium payable for such policy whether or not any Mortgaged Property or REO Property is covered thereby) shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance. Such master single interest or force-placed policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy otherwise complying with the provisions of Section 3.07(a), and there shall have been one or more losses which would have been covered by such policy had it been maintained, deposit into the Collection Account from its own funds the amount not otherwise payable under the master single or force-placed interest policy because of such deductible clause, to the extent that any such deductible exceeds the deductible limitation that pertained to the related Mortgage Loan, including any related Serviced Companion Loan, or, in the absence of any such deductible limitation, the deductible limitation which is consistent with the Servicing Standard.

 

(c)           Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall obtain and maintain at its own expense and keep in full force and effect throughout the term of this Agreement a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions Insurance Policy with a Qualified Insurer covering the Master Servicer’s and the Special Servicer’s, as applicable, officers and employees acting on behalf of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer in connection with its activities under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the long-term debt or the deposit obligations or claims-paying ability of the Master Servicer (or its immediate or remote parent) or the Special Servicer (or its immediate or remote parent), as applicable, is rated at least “A3” by Moody’s and “A-” by Fitch, the Master Servicer (or its public parent) or the Special Servicer (or its public parent), as applicable, shall be allowed to provide self-insurance

 

-176-
 

 

with respect to a fidelity bond and an “errors and omissions” Insurance Policy. Such amount of coverage shall be in such form and amount as are consistent with the Servicing Standard. Coverage of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer under a policy or bond obtained by an Affiliate of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer and providing the coverage required by this Section 3.07(c) shall satisfy the requirements of this Section 3.07(c). The Special Servicer and the Master Servicer will promptly report in writing to the Trustee any material changes that may occur in their respective fidelity bonds, if any, and/or their respective errors and omissions Insurance Policies, as the case may be, and will furnish to the Trustee evidence that such bonds, if any, and insurance policies are in full force and effect.

 

(d)           At the time the Master Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that any Mortgaged Property (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) is in a federally designated special flood hazard area (and such flood insurance has been made available), the Master Servicer will use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the related Mortgagor (in accordance with applicable law and the terms of the Mortgage Loan and related Serviced Companion Loan documents) to maintain, and, if the related Mortgagor shall default in its obligation to so maintain, shall itself maintain to the extent available at commercially reasonable rates (as determined by the Master Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard) and to the extent the Trustee, as mortgagee, has an insurable interest therein, flood insurance in respect thereof. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan (and any related Serviced Companion Loan, if applicable), and (ii) 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, but only to the extent the related Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or related Serviced Companion Loan permits the mortgagee to require such coverage and the maintenance of such coverage is consistent with the Servicing Standard. If the cost of any insurance described above is not borne by the Mortgagor, the Master Servicer shall promptly make a Servicing Advance for such costs.

 

(e)           During all such times as any REO Property (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) shall be located in a federally designated special flood hazard area, the Special Servicer will cause to be maintained, to the extent available at commercially reasonable rates (as determined by the Special Servicer (with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan or prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder) 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 which is available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended. The cost of any such flood insurance with respect to an REO Property shall be an expense of the Trust payable out of the related REO Account pursuant to Section 3.14(c) or, if the amount on deposit therein is insufficient therefor, paid by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance.

 

Section 3.08           Enforcement of Due-on-Sale Clauses; Assumption Agreements. (a)  As to each Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and

 

-177-
 

 

any related Serviced Companion Loan that contains a provision in the nature of a “due-on-sale” clause, which by its terms:

 

(i)            provides that such Mortgage Loan and any related Companion Loan shall (or may at the mortgagee’s option) become due and payable upon the sale or other transfer of an interest in the related Mortgaged Property or equity interests in the Mortgagor or principals of the Mortgagor; or

 

(ii)           provides that such Mortgage Loan and any related Companion Loan may not be assumed without the consent of the mortgagee in connection with any such sale or other transfer,

 

then, for so long as such Mortgage Loan or related Serviced Companion Loan is being serviced under this Agreement, the Special Servicer (or, with respect to non-Specially Serviced Loans, if mutually agreed to by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer (in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard and subject to the consent of the Special Servicer)), on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of record, shall (a) exercise any right it may have with respect to such Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan (x) to accelerate the payments thereon or (y) to withhold its consent to any sale or transfer, consistent with the Servicing Standard or (b) waive any right to exercise such rights, provided that, (i)(A) if such Mortgage Loan is not an Excluded Loan and no Control Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall obtain the prior written consent of (x) in the case of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and (y) in the case of the Special Servicer, the Directing Certificateholder, and the Directing Certificateholder’s consent shall be deemed given ten (10) Business Days after receipt (unless earlier objected to by the Directing Certificateholder) of the Special Servicer’s written analysis and recommendation with respect to such waiver together with such other information reasonably required by the Directing Certificateholder and (B) if such Mortgage Loan is not an Excluded Loan, a Control Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing and no Consultation Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the Special Servicer shall consult with the Directing Certificateholder pursuant to Section 6.08(a) hereof and (ii) with respect to any Mortgage Loan (x) with a Stated Principal Balance greater than $35,000,000, (y) with a Stated Principal Balance greater than or equal to 5% of the aggregated Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans then outstanding or (z) together with all other Mortgage Loans with which it is cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted or together with all other Mortgage Loans with the same Mortgagor (or an affiliate thereof), that is one of the ten largest Mortgage Loans outstanding (by Stated Principal Balance), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, prior to consenting to any action, shall obtain, a Rating Agency Confirmation 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 Serviced Companion Loan 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 pursuant to Section 3.25), provided, however, that with respect to subclauses (y) and (z) of this subclause (ii), such Mortgage Loan shall also have a Stated Principal Balance of at least $10,000,000 for such Rating Agency Confirmation requirement to apply. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any Excluded Loan (regardless of whether a Control Termination Event has occurred and is

In connection with any request for a Rating Agency Confirmation from a Rating Agency (or, with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the related rating agencies) pursuant to this Section 3.08(a), the Special Servicer shall (if not already provided in accordance with Section 3.25 of this Agreement) deliver a Review Package to the 17g-5 Information Provider (or, with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the related 17g-5 information provider) in accordance with Section 3.25 of this Agreement.

 

If any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or related Serviced Companion Loan provides that such Mortgage Loan or related Serviced Companion Loan may be assumed or transferred without the consent of the mortgagee provided that certain conditions are satisfied, then for so long as such Mortgage Loan or related Serviced Companion Loan is being serviced under this Agreement, the Special Servicer, with respect to all Specially Serviced Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or related Serviced Companion Loans, on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of record, shall determine in accordance with the Servicing Standard whether such conditions have been satisfied, or, with respect to any Mortgage Loan which does not allow the mortgagee discretion in approving a transfer or assumption or does not allow for discretion in determining whether conditions to a transfer or assumption have been satisfied, the Master Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee as mortgagee of record, shall make such determination with respect to whether such conditions have been satisfied.

 

(b)           As to each Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Serviced Companion Loan that contains a provision in the nature of a “due-on-encumbrance” clause that by its terms:

 

(i)            provides that such Mortgage Loan and any related Companion Loan shall (or may at the mortgagee’s option) become due and payable upon the creation of any additional lien or other encumbrance on the related Mortgaged Property or equity interests in the Mortgagor or principals of the Mortgagor; or

 

(ii)           requires the consent of the mortgagee to the creation of any such additional lien or other encumbrance on the related Mortgaged Property or equity interests in the Mortgagor or principals of the Mortgagor;

 

then, for so long as such Mortgage Loan (and related Companion Loan, if applicable) is serviced under this Agreement, the Special Servicer (or, with respect to non-Specially Serviced Loans, if mutually agreed to by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer (in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard and subject to the consent of the Special Servicer)), on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of record, shall (a) exercise any right it may have with respect to such Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan (x) to accelerate the payments thereon or (y) to withhold its consent to the creation of any

additional lien or other encumbrance, consistent with the Servicing Standard or (b) waive its right to exercise such rights, provided that (i)(A) if such Mortgage Loan is not an Excluded Loan and no Control Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall obtain the prior written consent of (x) in the case of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and (y) in the case of the Special Servicer, the Directing Certificateholder, and the Directing Certificateholder’s consent shall be deemed given ten (10) Business Days after receipt (unless earlier objected to by the Directing Certificateholder) of the Special Servicer’s written analysis and recommendation with respect to such waiver together with such other information reasonably required by the Directing Certificateholder and (B) if such Mortgage Loan is not an Excluded Loan, a Control Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing, and no Consultation Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the Special Servicer shall consult with the Directing Certificateholder pursuant to Section 6.08(a) hereof and (ii) the Special Servicer has obtained Rating Agency Confirmation 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 Serviced Companion Loan 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 pursuant to Section 3.25) if such Mortgage Loan (A) has an outstanding principal balance that is greater than or equal to 2% of the Stated Principal Balance of the outstanding Mortgage Loans or (B) has an LTV Ratio greater than 85% (including any existing and proposed debt) or (C) has a Debt Service Coverage Ratio less than 1.20x (in each case, determined based upon the aggregate of the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan and related Companion Loan, if any, and the principal amount of the proposed additional lien) or (D) is one of the ten largest Mortgage Loans (by Stated Principal Balance) or (E) has a Stated Principal Balance greater than $20,000,000; provided, however, that with respect to subclauses (A), (B), (C) and (D) of this subclause (ii), such Mortgage Loan shall also have a Stated Principal Balance of at least $10,000,000 for such Rating Agency Confirmation requirement to apply. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any Excluded Loan (regardless of whether a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing), the Special Servicer shall consult with the Operating Advisor, on a non-binding basis, in connection with the related transactions involving proposed Major Decisions and consider alternative actions recommended by the Operating Advisor, in respect thereof, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6.08 for consulting with the Operating Advisor.

 

In connection with any request for a Rating Agency Confirmation from a Rating Agency (or, with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the related rating agencies) pursuant to this Section 3.08(b), the Special Servicer shall (if not already provided in accordance with Section 3.25 of this Agreement) deliver a Review Package to the 17g-5 Information Provider (or, with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the related 17g-5 information provider) in accordance with Section 3.25 of this Agreement.

 

To the extent permitted by the related Mortgage Loan documents, the Rating Agency Confirmation described in the immediately preceding paragraph or in Section 3.08(a) shall be an expense of the related Mortgagor; provided that if the Mortgage Loan documents are silent as to who bears the costs of obtaining any such Rating Agency Confirmation, the Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to make the related Mortgagor bear such costs and expenses.

 

-180-
 

 

Unless determined to be a Nonrecoverable Advance such costs not collected from the related Mortgagor shall be advanced as a Servicing Advance.

 

If any Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan provides that such Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan may be further encumbered without the consent of the mortgagee provided that certain conditions are satisfied and there is no lender discretion with respect to the satisfaction of such conditions, then for so long as such Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan is being serviced under this Agreement, the Special Servicer, with respect to all Mortgage Loans (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of record, shall determine whether such conditions have been satisfied.

 

(c)           Nothing in this Section 3.08 shall constitute a waiver of the Trustee’s right, as the mortgagee of record, to receive notice of any assumption of a Mortgage Loan, any sale or other transfer of the related Mortgaged Property or the creation of any additional lien or other encumbrance with respect to such Mortgaged Property.

 

(d)           Except as otherwise permitted by Section 3.08(a) and (b) and/or Section 3.18, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall agree to modify, waive or amend any term of any Mortgage Loan and related Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable, in connection with the taking of, or the failure to take, any action pursuant to this Section 3.08. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide copies of any final waivers (except with respect to provision of any such waivers to the 17g-5 Information Provider, exclusive of any Privileged Information) it effects pursuant to Section 3.08(a) or (b) to each other and to the 17g-5 Information Provider with respect to each Mortgage Loan, and shall notify the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, each other and, subject to the terms of this Agreement, the 17g-5 Information Provider (for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.25) and, with respect to a Whole Loan, the related Serviced Companion Noteholder, of any assumption or substitution agreement executed pursuant to Section 3.08(a) or (b) and shall forward thereto a copy of such agreement.

 

(e)          Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Special Servicer may not waive its rights or grant its consent under any “due-on-sale” or “due-on-encumbrance” clause relating to any Mortgage Loan without ((i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan) the consent of the Directing Certificateholder (or (i) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan, but prior to a Consultation Termination Event, upon consultation with the Directing Certificateholder pursuant to Section 6.08 hereof). The Directing Certificateholder shall have ten (10) Business Days after receipt of notice along with the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s recommendation and analysis with respect to such proposed waiver or proposed granting of consent and any additional information the Directing Certificateholder may reasonably request from the Special Servicer of a proposed waiver or consent under any “due on sale” or “due-on-encumbrance” clause in which to grant or withhold its consent (provided that if the Special Servicer fails to receive a response to such notice from the Directing Certificateholder in writing within such period, then the Directing Certificateholder shall be deemed to have consented to such proposed waiver or consent).

 

-181-
 

 

(f)           Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.08, if the Special Servicer makes a determination under Sections 3.08(a) or 3.08(b) hereof that the applicable conditions in the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan documents, as applicable, with respect to assumptions or encumbrances permitted without the consent of the mortgagee have been satisfied, the applicable assumptions and transfers may be subject to an assumption or other fee, unless such fees are otherwise prohibited pursuant to the Mortgage Loan documents; provided that any such fee not provided for in the Mortgage Loan documents does not constitute a “significant” change in yield pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.1001-3(e)(2).

 

(g)           Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.08, without any other approval or consent, the Master Servicer (for Mortgage Loans and Serviced Whole Loans other than Specially Serviced Loans) may grant and process a Mortgagor’s request for (i) consent to subject the related Mortgaged Property to an immaterial easement, a right of way or similar agreement for utilities, access, parking, public improvements or another purpose, (ii) consent to subordination of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan to such easement, right of way or similar agreement and (iii) consent to any other matter that is not a Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision; provided that the Master Servicer (a) shall have determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such easement, right of way or similar agreement or other matter will not materially and adversely affect the operation or value of such Mortgaged Property or the Trust Fund’s interest in the Mortgaged Property and (b) shall have determined that such easement, right of way or similar agreement or other matter will not cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding. The Master Servicer may rely on an Opinion of Counsel in making any such determination under clause (b) above.

 

Section 3.09           Realization Upon Defaulted Loans and Companion Loans. (a)  Upon an event of default under the Mortgage Loan documents related to a Serviced Whole Loan or a Mortgage Loan with mezzanine debt, the Master Servicer shall promptly provide written notice to the related Companion Holder or mezzanine lender, as applicable, with a copy of such notice to the Special Servicer. The Special Servicer shall, subject to subsections (b) through (d) of this Section 3.09, Section 3.24, subject to the Directing Certificateholders’ rights pursuant to Section 6.08, and any Companion Holder or mezzanine lender’s rights under the related Intercreditor Agreement (in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, on behalf of the holders of the beneficial interest of the related Companion Loan) or this Agreement, exercise reasonable efforts, consistent with the Servicing Standard, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert (which may include an REO Acquisition) the ownership of property securing any such Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and related Companion Loan, if any, as come into and continue in default as to which no satisfactory arrangements (including by way of a discounted pay-off) can be made for collection of delinquent payments, and which are not released from the Trust Fund pursuant to any other provision hereof. The foregoing is subject to the provision that, in any case in which a Mortgaged Property shall have suffered damage from an Uninsured Cause, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall not be required to make a Servicing Advance and expend funds toward the restoration of such property unless the Special Servicer has determined in its reasonable discretion that such restoration will increase the net proceeds of liquidation of such Mortgaged Property to Certificateholders after reimbursement to the Master Servicer for such Servicing Advance, and the Master Servicer or

 

-182-
 

 

Special Servicer has not determined that such Servicing Advance together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. The costs and expenses incurred by the Special Servicer in any such proceedings shall be advanced by the Master Servicer; provided that, in each case, such cost or expense would not, if incurred, constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. Nothing contained in this Section 3.09 shall be construed so as to require the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust, to make a bid on any Mortgaged Property at a foreclosure sale or similar proceeding that is in excess of the fair market value of such property, as determined by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in its reasonable judgment taking into account the factors described in Section 3.16(b) and the results of any Appraisal obtained pursuant to the following sentence, all such bids to be made in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard. If and when the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer deems it necessary and prudent for purposes of establishing the fair market value of any Mortgaged Property securing a Defaulted Loan or any related defaulted Companion Loan, whether for purposes of bidding at foreclosure or otherwise, the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, is authorized to have an Appraisal performed with respect to such property by an Independent MAI-designated appraiser the cost of which shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance.

 

(b)           The Special Servicer shall not acquire any personal property pursuant to this Section 3.09 unless either:

 

(i)            such personal property is incidental to real property (within the meaning of Section 856(e)(1) of the Code) so acquired by the Special Servicer; or

 

(ii)           the Special Servicer shall have obtained an Opinion of Counsel (the cost of which shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance) to the effect that the holding of such personal property by the Trust (to the extent not allocable to the related Companion Loan) will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur.

 

(c)           Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.09 and Section 3.24, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall, on behalf of the Trustee, obtain title to a Mortgaged Property in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, or take any other action with respect to any Mortgaged Property, if, as a result of any such action, the Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders and/or any related Companion Holder, would be considered to hold title to, to be a “mortgagee-in-possession” of, or to be an “owner” or “operator” of such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of CERCLA or any comparable law, unless (as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate to such effect delivered to the Trustee) the Special Servicer has previously determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard, based on an Environmental Assessment of such Mortgaged Property performed by an Independent Person who regularly conducts Environmental Assessments and performed within six (6) months prior to any such acquisition of title or other action, that:

 

(i)            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

 

-183-
 

 

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

 

(ii)           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 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.

 

The cost of any such Environmental Assessment shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance and the cost of any remedial, corrective or other further action contemplated by clause (i) and/or clause (ii) of the preceding sentence shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance, unless it is a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance (in which case it shall be an expense of the Trust and, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, shall be withdrawn in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement by the Master Servicer from the Collection Account, including from the Companion Distribution Account (such withdrawal to be made from amounts on deposit therein that are otherwise payable on or allocable to such Serviced Whole Loan)); and if any such Environmental Assessment so warrants, the Special Servicer shall, except with respect to any Companion Loan and any Environmental Assessment ordered after such Mortgage Loan has been paid in full, perform such additional environmental testing at the expense of the Trust as it deems necessary and prudent to determine whether the conditions described in clauses (i) and (ii) of the preceding sentence have been satisfied. With respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans, the Master Servicer and, with respect to Specially Serviced Loans, the Special Servicer (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) shall review and be familiar with the terms and conditions relating to enforcing claims and shall monitor the dates by which any claim or action must be taken (including delivering any notices to the insurer and using reasonable efforts to perform any actions required under such policy) under each environmental insurance policy in effect and obtained on behalf of the mortgagee to receive the maximum proceeds available under such policy for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Trustee (as holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests).

 

(d)           If (i) the environmental testing contemplated by subsection (c) above establishes that either of the conditions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of subsection (c) above of the first sentence thereof has not been satisfied with respect to any Mortgaged Property securing a Defaulted Loan and, in the case of a Serviced Mortgage Loan, any related Companion Loan, and (ii) there has been no breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in or required to be made pursuant to Section 6 of each of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements for which the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller could be required to repurchase such Defaulted Loan pursuant to Section 6 of the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, then the Special Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Trust (other than proceeding to acquire title to the Mortgaged Property) and is hereby authorized ((A) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event (or with respect to any

 

-184-
 

 

AB Mortgage Loan, after the occurrence and during the continuation of an AB Control Appraisal Period, but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event) and (B) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan), with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder at such time as it deems appropriate to release such Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage, provided that, if such Mortgage Loan has a then-outstanding principal balance of greater than $1,000,000, then prior to the release of the related Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage, (i) the Special Servicer shall have notified the Rating Agencies, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and ((A) prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event and (B) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan) the Directing Certificateholder, in writing of its intention to so release such Mortgaged Property and the bases for such intention, (ii) the Certificate Administrator shall have posted such notice of the Special Servicer’s intention to so release such Mortgaged Property to the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(b) and (iii) in addition to the prior written consent of the Directing Certificateholder as required above, the Holders of Certificates entitled to a majority of the Voting Rights shall have consented or have been deemed to have consented to such release within thirty (30) days of the Certificate Administrator’s posting such notice to the Certificate Administrator’s Website (failure to respond by the end of such 30-day period being deemed consent of the Holders of the Certificates). To the extent any fee charged by any Rating Agency in connection with rendering such written confirmation is not paid by the related Mortgagor, such fee is to be an expense of the Trust; provided that the Special Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect such fee from the Mortgagor to the extent permitted under the related Mortgage Loan documents.

 

(e)           The Special Servicer shall provide written reports and a copy of any Environmental Assessments in electronic format to the Directing Certificateholder (other than with respect to any Excluded Loan), the Master Servicer and the 17g-5 Information Provider monthly regarding any actions taken by the Special Servicer with respect to any Mortgaged Property securing a Defaulted Loan, or defaulted Companion Loan as to which the environmental testing contemplated in subsection (c) above has revealed that either of the conditions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of the first sentence thereof has not been satisfied, in each case until the earlier to occur of satisfaction of both such conditions, repurchase of the related Mortgage Loan by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller or release of the lien of the related Mortgage on such Mortgaged Property.

 

(f)            The Special Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer of any abandoned and/or foreclosed properties which require reporting to the Internal Revenue Service and shall provide the Master Servicer with all information regarding forgiveness of indebtedness and required to be reported with respect to any Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan that is abandoned or foreclosed and the Master Servicer shall report to the Internal Revenue Service and the related Mortgagor, in the manner required by applicable law, such information and the Master Servicer shall report, via Form 1099A or Form 1099C (or any successor form), all forgiveness of indebtedness and abandonment and foreclosure to the extent such information has been provided to the Master Servicer by the Special Servicer. Upon request, the Master Servicer shall deliver a copy of any such report to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator.

 

(g)           The Special Servicer shall have the right to determine, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, the advisability of the maintenance of an action to obtain a deficiency

 

-185-
 

 

judgment if the state in which the Mortgaged Property is located and the terms of the Mortgage Loan (and if applicable, the related Companion Loan) permit such an action.

 

(h)           The Special Servicer shall maintain accurate records, prepared by one of its Servicing Officers, of each Final Recovery Determination in respect of a Defaulted Loan (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or defaulted Companion Loan or any REO Property (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) and the basis thereof. Each Final Recovery Determination shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate promptly delivered to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Certificateholder (other than with respect to any Excluded Loan) and the Master Servicer and in no event later than the next succeeding P&I Advance Determination Date.

 

Section 3.10           Trustee and Custodian to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files. (a)  Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), or the receipt by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, of a notification that payment in full shall be escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, will promptly notify the Trustee and the Custodian and request delivery of the related Mortgage File. Any such notice and request shall be in the form of a Request for Release signed by a Servicing Officer and shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.04(a) or remitted to the Master Servicer to enable such deposit, have been or will be so deposited. Within three (3) Business Days (or within such shorter period as release can reasonably be accomplished if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer notifies the Custodian of an exigency) of receipt of such notice and request, the Custodian shall release the related Mortgage File to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be; provided that in the case of the payment in full of a Serviced Companion Loan or its related Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage File shall not be released by the Custodian unless the related Serviced Whole Loan is paid in full. No expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Collection Account.

 

(b)           From time to time as is appropriate for servicing or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) (and any related Companion Loan), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall deliver to the Custodian a Request for Release signed by a Servicing Officer. Upon receipt of the foregoing, the Custodian shall deliver the Mortgage File or any document therein to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (or a designee), as the case may be. Upon return of such Mortgage File or such document to the Custodian, or the delivery to the Trustee and the Custodian of a certificate of a Servicing Officer of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, stating that such Mortgage Loan (and, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Loan), was liquidated and that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such liquidation which are required to be deposited into the Collection Account (including amounts related to the related Companion Loan, if applicable) pursuant to Section 3.04(a) have been or will be so deposited, or that such Mortgage Loan has become an REO Property, a copy of the Request for Release shall be released by the Custodian to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (or a designee), as the case may be, with the original being released upon termination of the Trust.

 

-186-
 

 

(c)           Within three (3) Business Days (or within such shorter period as delivery can reasonably be accomplished if the Special Servicer notifies the Trustee of an exigency) of receipt thereof, the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Special Servicer any court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or other documents necessary to the foreclosure or trustee’s sale in respect of a Mortgaged Property or to any legal action brought to obtain judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Note (including any note evidencing a related Companion Loan) or Mortgage or to obtain a deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the Mortgage Note or Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in equity. The Special Servicer shall be responsible for the preparation of all such documents and pleadings. When submitted to the Trustee for signature, such documents or pleadings shall be accompanied by a certificate of a Servicing Officer requesting that such pleadings or documents be executed by the Trustee and certifying as to the reason such documents or pleadings are required and that the execution and delivery thereof by the Trustee will not invalidate or otherwise affect the lien of the Mortgage, except for the termination of such a lien upon completion of the foreclosure or trustee’s sale. The Trustee shall not be required to review such documents for their sufficiency or enforceability.

 

(d)           If, from time to time, pursuant to the terms of the applicable Non-Serviced Intercreditor Agreement and the applicable Non-Serviced PSA, and as appropriate for enforcing the terms of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer requests delivery to it of the original Mortgage Note for a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, then the Custodian shall release or cause the release of such original Mortgage Note to such Non-Serviced Master Servicer or its designee.

 

Section 3.11           Servicing Compensation. (a)  As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Servicing Fee with respect to each Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan and REO Loan (other than the portion of any REO Loan related to any Non-Serviced Companion Loan) (including Specially Serviced Loans and any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan constituting a “Specially Serviced Loan” under any related Non-Serviced PSA). As to each Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan and REO Loan, the Servicing Fee shall accrue from time to time at the Servicing Fee Rate and shall be computed on the basis of the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be, and in the same manner as interest is calculated on such Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be, and, in connection with any partial month interest payment, for the same period respecting which any related interest payment due on such Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan or deemed to be due on such REO Loan is computed. The Servicing Fee with respect to any Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan or REO Loan shall cease to accrue if a Liquidation Event occurs with respect to the related Mortgage Loan, except that if such Mortgage Loan is part of a Serviced Whole Loan and such Serviced Whole Loan continues to be serviced and administered under this Agreement notwithstanding such Liquidation Event, then the applicable Servicing Fee shall continue to accrue and be payable as if such Liquidation Event did not occur. The Servicing Fee shall be payable monthly, on a loan-by-loan basis, from payments of interest on each Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan and REO Revenues allocable as interest on each REO Loan, and as otherwise provided by Section 3.05(a). The Master Servicer shall be entitled to recover unpaid Servicing Fees in respect of any Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan or REO Loan out of that portion of related payments, Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds, Liquidation Proceeds and REO

Revenues (in the case of an REO Loan) allocable as recoveries of interest, to the extent permitted by Section 3.05(a). Except as set forth in the next two sentences, the third paragraph of this Section 3.11(a), Section 6.03, Section 6.05 and Section 7.01(c), the right to receive the Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part (except in connection with a transfer of all of the Master Servicer’s duties and obligations hereunder to a successor servicer in accordance with the terms hereof). With respect to each Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, the Servicing Fee shall be payable to the Master Servicer from amounts payable in respect of such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, subject to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement.

 

The Master Servicer shall be entitled to retain, and shall not be required to deposit in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.04(a), additional servicing compensation (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) in the form of the following amounts to the extent collected from the related Mortgagor: (i) 100% of Excess Modification Fees related to any modifications, waivers, extensions or amendments of any Non-Specially Serviced Loans (including any related Serviced Companion Loan, to the extent not prohibited by the related Intercreditor Agreement); provided that with respect to such transactions, the consent of, and/or processing by, the Special Servicer is not required to take such action and, in the event that the Special Servicer’s consent and/or processing is required, then the Master Servicer shall be entitled to 50% of such fees, (ii) 100% of all assumption application fees received on Non-Specially Serviced Loans (including any related Serviced Companion Loan, to the extent not prohibited by the related Intercreditor Agreement) (whether or not the consent of the Special Servicer is required) and any fee actually paid by a Mortgagor in connection with the defeasance of a Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Serviced Companion Loan (provided that 50% of the portion of any fees payable solely in connection with any modification, waiver, amendment or consent executed in connection with a defeasance transaction for which the consent, processing or approval of the Special Servicer is required (and specifically excluding any defeasance fees), must be paid by the Master Servicer to the Special Servicer); (iii) 100% of assumption, waiver, consent and earnout fees, and other processing fees pursuant to Section 3.08 and Section 3.18 or other actions performed in connection with this Agreement on the Non-Specially Serviced Loans (including any related Serviced Companion Loan, to the extent not prohibited by the related Intercreditor Agreement), provided the consent, processing or approval of the Special Servicer is not required to take such actions and (iv) 50% of all assumption, waiver, consent and earnout fees, and other processing fees (other than assumption application and defeasance fees), pursuant to Section 3.08 and Section 3.18 on any Non-Specially Serviced Loan (including any related Serviced Companion Loan, to the extent not prohibited by the related Intercreditor Agreement) for which the Special Servicer’s processing, consent or approval is required and only to the extent that all amounts then due and payable with respect to the related Mortgage Loan have been paid. In addition, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to retain as additional servicing compensation (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) any charges for processing Mortgagor requests, beneficiary statements or demands, fees in connection with defeasance, if any, and other customary charges, and amounts collected for checks returned for insufficient funds, in each case only to the extent actually paid by the related Mortgagor and shall not be required to deposit such amounts in the Collection Account or the Companion Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.04(a) or Section 3.04(b), respectively. Subject to Section 3.11(d), the Master Servicer shall also be entitled to additional servicing compensation in the form of: (i) Penalty Charges to the extent provided in Section 3.11(d), (ii) interest or other income earned on deposits relating to the Trust Fund in the

 

-188-
 

 

Collection Account or the Companion Distribution Account in accordance with Section 3.06(b) (but only to the extent of the Net Investment Earnings, if any, with respect to such account for the period from and including the prior Distribution Date to and including the P&I Advance Date related to the current Distribution Date), (iii) interest or other income earned on deposits in the Servicing Account which are not required by applicable law or the related Mortgage Loan to be paid to the Mortgagor and (iv) the difference, if positive, between Prepayment Interest Excess and Prepayment Interest Shortfalls collected on the Mortgage Loans and any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, during the related Collection Period to the extent not required to be paid as Compensating Interest Payments. The Master Servicer shall be required to pay out of its own funds all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder (including, without limitation, payment of any amounts due and owing to any of its Sub-Servicers and the premiums for any blanket Insurance Policy insuring against hazard losses pursuant to Section 3.07), if and to the extent such expenses are not payable directly out of the Collection Account and the Master Servicer shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Master Servicer may, at its option, assign or pledge to any third party or retain for itself the Transferable Servicing Interest; provided, however, that in the event of any resignation or termination of such Master Servicer, all or any portion of the Transferable Servicing Interest may be reduced by the Trustee to the extent reasonably necessary (in the sole discretion of the Trustee) for the Trustee to obtain a qualified successor master servicer that meets the requirements of Section 6.05 and who requires market-rate servicing compensation that accrues at a per annum rate in excess of the Retained Fee Rate, and any such assignment of the Transferable Servicing Interest shall, by its terms be expressly subject to the terms of this Agreement and such reduction. The Master Servicer shall pay the Transferable Servicing Interest to the holder of the Transferable Servicing Interest at such time and to the extent the Master Servicer is entitled to receive payment of its Servicing Fees hereunder, notwithstanding any resignation or termination of the Master Servicer hereunder (subject to reduction pursuant to the preceding sentence).

 

(b)           As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Special Servicing Fee with respect to each Specially Serviced Loan and REO Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and any REO Loan relating to a Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property). As to each Specially Serviced Loan and REO Loan, the Special Servicing Fee shall accrue from time to time at the Special Servicing Fee Rate and shall be computed on the basis of the Stated Principal Balance of such Specially Serviced Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be, and in the same manner as interest is calculated on the Specially Serviced Loans or REO Loans, as the case may be, and, in connection with any partial month interest payment, for the same period respecting which any related interest payment due on such Specially Serviced Loan or deemed to be due on such REO Loan is computed. The Special Servicing Fee with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan or REO Loan shall cease to accrue if a Liquidation Event occurs with respect to the related Mortgage Loan. The Special Servicing Fee shall be payable monthly, on a loan-by-loan basis, in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.05(a). The right to receive the Special Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of all of the Special Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement. The Special Servicer shall not be entitled to any Special Servicing Fees with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan.

(c)           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 and assumption fees and other related fees received on any Specially Serviced Loans, (iii) 50% of the portion of any fees payable solely in connection with any modification, waiver, amendment or consent executed in connection with a defeasance transaction for which the consent, processing or approval of the Special Servicer is required (and specifically excluding any defeasance fees), (iv) 100% of waiver, consent and earnout fees, pursuant to Section 3.08 and Section 3.18 or other actions performed in connection with this Agreement on the Specially Serviced Loans or certain other similar fees paid by the related Mortgagor and (v) 50% of all Excess Modification Fees and assumption and consent fees pursuant to Section 3.08 or Section 3.18 and 50% of all earnout fees received with respect to all Non-Specially Serviced Loans (including any related Serviced Companion Loan, to the extent not prohibited by the related Intercreditor Agreement) and, in all cases, for which the Special Servicer’s processing, consent or approval is required, shall be promptly paid to the Special Servicer by the Master Servicer (or directly from the related Mortgagor) to the extent such fees are paid by the Mortgagor and shall not be required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.04(a). Subject to Section 3.11(d), the Special Servicer shall also be entitled to additional servicing compensation in the form of: (i) Penalty Charges to the extent provided in Section 3.11(d) and (ii) interest or other income earned on deposits relating to the Trust Fund in the REO Account in accordance with Section 3.06(b) (but only to the extent of the Net Investment Earnings, if any, with respect to such account for the period from and including the prior Distribution Date to and including the P&I Advance Date related to such Distribution Date). The Special Servicer shall also be entitled to additional servicing compensation in the form of a Workout Fee with respect to each Corrected Loan at the Workout Fee Rate on such 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 shall be reduced by the Excess Modification Fee Amount; 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 shall be entitled to an amount from the final payment on the related Corrected Loan (including any related Serviced Companion Loan) that would result in the total Workout Fees payable to the Special Servicer in respect of that Corrected Loan (including any related Serviced Companion Loan) to be $25,000. The Workout Fee shall be reduced (but not below zero) pursuant to the preceding sentence with respect to each collection on such Corrected Loan from which fee would otherwise be payable until an amount equal to such Excess Modification Fee Amount has been deducted in full. The Workout Fee with respect to any Corrected Loan will cease to be payable if such loan again becomes a Specially Serviced Loan; provided that a new Workout Fee will become payable if and when such Specially Serviced Loan again becomes a Corrected Loan. The Special Servicer shall not be entitled to any Workout Fee with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan. If the Special Servicer is terminated (other than for cause) or resigns, it shall retain the right to receive any and all Workout Fees payable in respect of Mortgage Loans or any related Companion Loan that became Corrected Loans prior to the time of that termination or resignation except the Workout Fees will no longer be payable if the Corrected Loan subsequently becomes a Specially Serviced Loan. 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

 

-190-
 

 

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 Mortgagor had not had sufficient time to make three consecutive timely Periodic Payments and which subsequently becomes a Corrected Loan as a result of the Mortgagor making such three consecutive timely Periodic Payments except the Workout Fees will no longer be payable if the Corrected Loan subsequently becomes a Specially Serviced Loan. The successor special servicer will not be entitled to any portion of such Workout Fees. The Special Servicer will not be entitled to receive any Workout Fees after termination for cause. A Liquidation Fee will be payable with respect to each Specially Serviced Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or REO Property (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) as to which the Special Servicer receives any Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds subject to the exceptions set forth in the definition of Liquidation Fee (such Liquidation Fee to be paid out of such Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds). If, however, Liquidation Proceeds or Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds are received with respect to any Corrected Loan and the Special Servicer is properly entitled to a Workout Fee, such Workout Fee will be payable based on and out of the portion of such Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds that constitute principal and/or interest on such Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Special Servicer shall only be entitled to receive a Liquidation Fee or a Workout Fee, but not both, with respect to proceeds on any Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Companion Loan, the Liquidation Fee, Workout Fee and Special Servicing Fees, if any, will be computed as provided in the related Intercreditor Agreement or to the extent such Intercreditor Agreement is silent or refers to this Agreement or indicates such fees are paid in accordance with this Agreement, as provided herein as though such Companion Loan were a Mortgage Loan. Subject to Section 3.11(d), the Special Servicer will also be entitled to additional fees in the form of Penalty Charges. The Special Servicer shall be required to pay out of its own funds all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder (including, without limitation, payment of any amounts, other than management fees in respect of REO Properties, due and owing to any of its Sub-Servicers and the premiums for any blanket Insurance Policy obtained by it insuring against hazard losses pursuant to Section 3.07), if and to the extent such expenses are not expressly payable directly out of the Collection Account or the REO Account, and the Special Servicer shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

 

(d)          In determining the compensation of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, with respect to Penalty Charges, on any Distribution Date, the aggregate Penalty Charges collected on any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any related Companion Loan since the prior Distribution Date shall be applied (in such order) to reimburse (i) the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee for interest on Advances on such Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan, if applicable (and, in connection with a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer, the applicable Non-Serviced Special Servicer or the applicable Non-Serviced Trustee for interest on the Servicing Advances made by any such party with respect to a Non-Serviced Whole Loan pursuant to the applicable Non-Serviced PSA, to the extent not prohibited by the applicable Non-Serviced Intercreditor Agreement) due on such Distribution Date, (ii) the Trust for all

 

-191-
 

 

interest on Advances previously paid to the Master Servicer or the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(vi) hereof (and, in connection with a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the related trust for all interest on Servicing Advances reimbursed by such trust to any party under the applicable Non-Serviced PSA, which resulted in an additional expense for the Trust, to the extent not prohibited by the applicable Non-Serviced Intercreditor Agreement) with respect to such Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan, if applicable and (iii) the Trust for all additional expenses of the Trust (other than Special Servicing Fees, Workout Fees and Liquidation Fees), including without limitation, inspections by the Special Servicer and all unpaid Advances incurred since the Closing Date with respect to such Mortgage Loan. Penalty Charges (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, which shall be payable as additional servicing compensation under the related Non-Serviced PSA) remaining thereafter shall be distributed to the Master Servicer, if and to the extent accrued while such Mortgage Loan and any related Companion Loan was a Non-Specially Serviced Loan, and to the Special Servicer, if and to the extent accrued on such Mortgage Loan during the period such Mortgage Loan was a Specially Serviced Loan or REO Loan. Any Penalty Charges paid or payable as additional servicing compensation to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be distributed between the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, on a pro rata basis, based on the Master Servicer’s and Special Servicer’s respective entitlements to such compensation described in the previous sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Penalty Charges with respect to any Companion Loan will be allocated pursuant to the applicable Intercreditor Agreement after payment of all related Advances and interest thereon and additional expenses of the Trust in accordance with this Section 3.11(d).

 

(e)           With respect to each Distribution Date, the Special Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Master Servicer within two (2) Business Days following the Determination Date, and the Master Servicer shall deliver, to the extent it has received, to the Certificate Administrator, without charge and on the same day as the Master Servicer is required to deliver the CREFC® Investor Reporting Package for such Distribution Date, an electronic report (which may include HTML, word or excel compatible format, clean and searchable PDF format or such other format as mutually agreeable between the Certificate Administrator and the Special Servicer) that discloses and contains an itemized listing of any Disclosable Special Servicer Fees received by the Special Servicer or any of its Affiliates, if any, with respect to such Distribution Date; provided that no such report shall be due in any month during which no Disclosable Special Servicer Fees were received.

 

(f)            The Special Servicer and its Affiliates shall be prohibited from receiving or retaining any compensation or any other remuneration (including, without limitation, in the form of commissions, brokerage fees, rebates, or as a result of any other fee-sharing arrangement) from any Person (including, without limitation, the Trust, any Mortgagor, any property manager, any guarantor or indemnitor in respect of a Mortgage Loan and any purchaser of any Mortgage Loan or REO Property) in connection with the disposition, workout or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan, the management or disposition of any REO Property, or the performance of any other special servicing duties under this Agreement, other than as expressly provided in this Section 3.11; provided that such prohibition shall not apply to Permitted Special Servicer/Affiliate Fees.

(g)           Pursuant to the CREFC® License Agreement, CREFC® shall be paid (according to the payment instructions set forth on Exhibit JJ hereto or such other payment instructions as CREFC® may provide to the Master Servicer in writing at least two Business Days prior to the Remittance Date) the CREFC® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fee on a monthly basis. The Master Servicer shall withdraw from the Collection Account and, to the extent sufficient funds are on deposit therein, pay the CREFC® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fee to CREFC® in accordance with Section 3.05(a)(xii) on a monthly basis, from funds on deposit in the Collection Account.

(b)           The Special Servicer, in the case of any Specially Serviced Loan, and the Master Servicer, in the case of any Non-Specially Serviced Loan shall make efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect promptly and review from each related Mortgagor quarterly and annual operating statements, financial statements, budgets and rent rolls of the related Mortgaged Property, and the quarterly and annual financial statements of such Mortgagor, whether or not delivery of such items is required pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents and any other reports or documents required to be delivered under the terms of the Mortgage Loans (and each Serviced Companion Loan), if delivery of such items is required pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan (and each Serviced Companion Loan) documents. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall not be required to request such operating statements or rent rolls more than once if the related Mortgagor is not required to deliver such statements pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan documents.

In the case of information or reports to be furnished by the Master Servicer to the Certificate

 

-196-
 

Administrator pursuant to Section 3.12(d), to the extent that such information or reports are, in turn, based on information or reports to be provided by the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.12(b) or Section 3.12(c) and to the extent that such reports are to be prepared and delivered by the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.12(b) or Section 3.12(c), the Master Servicer shall have no obligation to provide such information or reports to the Certificate Administrator until it has received the requisite information or reports from the Special Servicer, and the Master Servicer shall not be in default hereunder due to a delay in providing the reports required by Section 3.12(d) caused by the Special Servicer’s failure to timely provide any information or report required under Section 3.12(b) or Section 3.12(c) of this Agreement.

(f)             Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, the failure of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer to disclose any information otherwise required to be disclosed by this Section 3.12 shall not constitute a breach of this Section 3.12 to the extent the Master Servicer or Special Servicer so fails because such disclosure, in the reasonable belief of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, would violate any applicable law or any provision of a Mortgage Loan document prohibiting disclosure of information with respect to the Mortgage Loans or Mortgaged Properties. The Master Servicer and Special Servicer may disclose any such information or any additional information to any Person so long as such disclosure is consistent with applicable law and the Servicing Standard. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may affix to any information provided by it any disclaimer it deems appropriate in its reasonable discretion (without suggesting liability on the part of any other party hereto).

(g)            Unless otherwise specifically stated herein, if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is required to deliver any statement, report or information under any provisions of this Agreement, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may satisfy such obligation by (x) physically delivering a paper copy of such statement, report or information, (y) delivering such statement, report or information in a commonly used electronic format or (z) except with respect to information to be provided to the Certificate Administrator or any Companion Holder and, prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder, making such statement, report or information available on the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s Internet website, unless this Agreement expressly specifies a particular method of delivery.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall deliver any required statements, reports or other information to the Certificate Administrator in an electronic format mutually agreeable to the Certificate Administrator and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may physically deliver a paper copy of any such statement, report or information as a temporary measure due to system problems, however, copies in electronic format shall follow upon the correction of such system problems.

Section 3.13          Access to Certain Information.  (a) Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall provide or cause to be provided to the Certificate Administrator, and the Certificate Administrator shall afford access to any Mortgage Loan Seller and to any Certificateholder that is a federally insured financial institution, the OCC, the FDIC, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the United States of America and the supervisory agents and examiners of such boards and such corporations, and any other federal or

 

-197-
 

state banking or insurance regulatory authority that may exercise authority over any such Certificateholder, and to each Holder of a Non-Registered Certificate, access to any documentation or information regarding the Mortgage Loans (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and, in the case of a Mortgage Loan that is a portion of a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Loan, and the Trust within its control which may be required by applicable law. At the election of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator, such access may be afforded to such Person identified above by the delivery of copies of information as requested by such Person and the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator shall be permitted to require payment (other than from the Directing Certificateholder (prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event) and the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator on its own behalf or on behalf of the Certificateholders, as applicable) of a sum sufficient to cover the reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by it in making such copies. Such access shall (except as described in the preceding sentence) be afforded without charge but only upon reasonable prior written request and during normal business hours at the offices of the Certificate Administrator or the Custodian.

The failure of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer to provide access as provided in this Section 3.13 as a result of a confidentiality obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section 3.13. In connection with providing information pursuant to this Section 3.13, the Master Servicer and Special Servicer may each (i) affix a reasonable disclaimer to any information provided by it for which it is not the original source (without suggesting liability on the part of any other party hereto); (ii) affix to any information provided by it a reasonable statement regarding securities law restrictions on such information and/or condition access to information on (x) the execution of a confidentiality agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit X, or (y) execution of a “click-through” confidentiality agreement if such information is being provided through the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s website; (iii) withhold access to confidential information or any intellectual property; and/or (iv) withhold access to items of information contained in the Servicing File for any Mortgage Loan if the disclosure of such items is prohibited by applicable law or the provisions of any related Mortgage Loan documents or would constitute a waiver of the attorney-client privilege. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the failure of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to disclose any information otherwise required to be disclosed by it pursuant to this Agreement shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement to the extent that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, determines, in its reasonable good faith judgment consistent with the applicable Servicing Standard, that such disclosure would violate applicable law or any provision of a Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan document prohibiting disclosure of information with respect to the Mortgage Loans or Companion Loans or the Mortgaged Properties, constitute a waiver of the attorney-client privilege on behalf of the Trust or the Trust or otherwise materially harm the Trust or the Trust. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer may refrain from disclosing information that it reasonably determines would prejudice the interest of the Certificateholders with respect to a workout or exercise of remedies as to any particular Mortgage Loan.

Upon the reasonable request of any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner (or with respect to any AB Subordinate Companion Loan, the holder of such AB Subordinate Companion Loan) that has delivered an Investor Certification, the Master Servicer (with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced

 

-198-
 

Loans), as applicable, may provide (or forward electronically) at the expense of such Certificateholder or holder of such AB Subordinate Companion Loan, as applicable, copies of any appraisals, operating statements, rent rolls and financial statements (in each case, solely relating to the related Serviced Whole Loan, if requested by the holder of an AB Subordinate Companion Loan) obtained by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be; provided that, in connection with such request, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer may require a written confirmation executed by the requesting Person substantially in such form as may be reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, generally to the effect that such Person will keep such information confidential and shall use such information only for the purpose of analyzing asset performance and evaluating any continuing rights the Certificateholder or holder of such AB Subordinate Companion Loan, as applicable, may have under this Agreement. In addition, upon the reasonable request of any Controlling Class Certificateholder identified to the Master Servicer (in the case of a Non-Specially Serviced Loan) or the Special Servicer (in the case of a Specially Serviced Loan) to the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s reasonable satisfaction and if the requested information is in the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s possession, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide or make available (or forward electronically) to such Controlling Class Certificateholder (at the expense of such Controlling Class Certificateholder) any Excluded Information (available to Privileged Persons through the Certificate Administrator’s Website but not accessible to such Controlling Class Certificateholder through the Certificate Administrator’s Website) relating to any Excluded Controlling Class Loan with respect to which such Controlling Class Certificateholder is not an Excluded Controlling Class Holder; provided that, in connection therewith, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may require a written confirmation executed by the requesting Person substantially in such form as may be reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, generally to the effect that such Person is a Controlling Class Certificateholder, will keep such Excluded Information confidential and is not a Borrower Party, upon which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may conclusively rely. In addition, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on delivery from a Controlling Class Certificateholder of an investor certification substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1E that such Controlling Class Certificateholder is not an Excluded Controlling Class Holder with respect to a particular Mortgage Loan.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (other than as permitted in the preceding paragraph with respect to any Certificateholder or as specifically provided for herein with respect to the Directing Certificateholder), unless required by applicable law or court order, no Certificateholder or beneficial owner shall be given access to, or be provided copies of, the Mortgage Files or Diligence Files.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Excluded Information shall be made available under a separate tab or heading designated “Excluded Information” on the Certificate Administrator’s Website (and not under any of the tabs or headings described in items (i) through (vii) above) and made available to Privileged Persons other than any Excluded Controlling Class Holder that is a Borrower Party (unless a loan-by-loan segregation is later performed by the Certificate Administrator in which case such access shall only be prohibited with respect to the related Excluded Controlling Class Loan(s)).

Any Person that is a Borrower Party shall only be entitled to access (a) the statements to Certificateholders, and the following items made available to the general public: the Prospectus, this Agreement, the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements and the SEC filings on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, and (b) in the case of the Directing Certificateholder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder, if any such Person becomes an Excluded Controlling Class Holder, upon delivery to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee in physical form of an investor certification substantially in the forms of Exhibit P-1D and Exhibit P-1B and upon delivery to the Certificate Administrator in physical form of an investor certification substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1F, which shall include each of the CTSLink User ID associated with such Excluded Controlling Class Holder, all information (other than the Excluded Information with respect to any Excluded Controlling Class Loans (unless a loan-by-loan segregation is later performed by the Certificate Administrator in which case such access shall only be prohibited with respect to the related Excluded Controlling Class Loans)) available on the Certificate Administrator’s Website.

With respect to any Excluded Information sent for posting on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor shall mark or label such information as “Excluded Information” prior to delivery to the Certificate Administrator, and the Certificate Administrator shall segregate on the Certificate Administrator’s Website such Excluded Information (and, if possible, on loan-by-loan basis) from information relating to other Mortgage Loans or Whole Loans, as applicable.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to conclusively assume that the Directing Certificateholder and all beneficial owners of the Certificates of the Controlling Class are not Excluded Controlling Class Holders except to the extent that the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, has received a notice substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1E from the Directing Certificateholder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder that it has become an Excluded Controlling Class Holder.

Each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to conclusively rely on delivery from the Directing Certificateholder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder of an investor certification substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1B that it is not or is no longer an Excluded Controlling Class Holder. To the extent the Directing Certificateholder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder receives access pursuant to this Agreement to any Excluded Information on the Certificate Administrator’s Website or otherwise receives access to such Excluded Information, such Directing Certificateholder or Controlling Class Certificateholder shall be deemed to have agreed that it (i) will not directly or indirectly provide any such Excluded Information to (A) the related Borrower Party, (B) any related Excluded Controlling Class Holder, (C) any employees or personnel of such Directing Certificateholder or Controlling Class Certificateholder or any of its Affiliate involved in the management of any investment in the related Borrower Party or the

In connection with providing access to or copies of the information described in this Section 3.13(e) to current or prospective Certificateholders the form of confidentiality agreement used by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be: (i) in the case of a Certificateholder, an Investor Certification executed by the requesting Person indicating that such Person is a Holder of Certificates and will keep such information confidential (except that such Certificateholder may provide such information (x) to its auditors, legal counsel and regulators and (y) to any other Person that holds or is contemplating the purchase of any Certificate or interest therein (provided that such other Person confirms in writing such ownership interest or prospective ownership interest and agrees to keep

 

-208-
 

such information confidential)); and (ii) in the case of a prospective purchaser of Certificates or interests therein or an investment advisor related thereto, an Investor Certification indicating that such Person is a prospective purchaser of a Certificate or an interest therein or an investment advisor related thereto and is requesting the information for use in evaluating a possible investment in Certificates and will otherwise keep such information confidential with no further dissemination (except that such Certificateholder may provide such information to its auditors, legal counsel and regulators). In the case of a licensed or registered investment advisor acting on behalf of a current or prospective Certificateholder, the Investor Certification shall be executed and delivered by both the investment advisor and such current or prospective Certificateholder.

Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be liable for its dissemination of information in accordance with this Agreement or by others in violation of the terms of this Agreement. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be responsible or have any liability for the completeness or accuracy of the information delivered, produced or otherwise made available pursuant to this Section 3.13 unless such information was produced by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable.

(f)             The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall be permitted (but not obligated) to orally communicate with the Rating Agencies regarding any of the Mortgage Loan documents and any other matter related to the Mortgage Loans, the related Mortgaged Properties, the related Mortgagors or any other matters relating to this Agreement or 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 in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.13(c) the same day such communication takes place; provided, further that the summary of such oral communications shall not identify which Rating Agency the communication was with. The 17g-5 Information Provider shall post such written summary on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.13(c).

In connection with the delivery by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to the 17g-5 Information Provider of any information, report, notice or document for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website, the 17g-5 Information Provider shall notify the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, of when such information, report, notice or document has been posted to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may, but is not obligated to, send such information, report, notice or other document to the applicable Rating Agency or Rating Agencies so long as such information, report, notice or document (i) was previously provided to the 17g-5 Information Provider or (ii) is simultaneously provided to the 17g-5 Information Provider.

(g)            The Special Servicer, subject to the limitations on delivery of Privileged Communications, shall deliver to the Operating Advisor such reports and other information produced or otherwise available to the Directing Certificateholder (other than, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, any Asset Status Reports that are not Final Asset Status Reports), or Certificateholders generally, requested by the Operating

 

-209-
 

Advisor in support of the performance of its obligations under this Agreement in electronic format.

(h)            None of the foregoing restrictions in this Section 3.13 or otherwise in this Agreement shall prohibit or restrict oral or written communications, or providing information, between the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Special Servicer, on the one hand, and any Rating Agency or NRSRO, on the other hand, with regard to (i) such Rating Agency’s or NRSRO’s review of the ratings it assigns to the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, (ii) such Rating Agency’s or NRSRO’s approval of the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, as a commercial mortgage master, special or primary servicer, or (iii) such Rating Agency’s or NRSRO’s evaluation of the Master Servicer’s, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as applicable, servicing operations in general; provided that the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall not provide any information relating to the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans to any Rating Agency or NRSRO in connection with such review and evaluation by such Rating Agency or NRSRO unless (x) Mortgagor, property and other deal specific identifiers are redacted; (y) such information has already been provided to the 17g-5 Information Provider and has been uploaded on to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website; or (z) such Rating Agency has confirmed in writing to the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, that it does not intend to use such information in undertaking credit rating surveillance for any Class of Certificates; provided, however, that the Rating Agencies may use information delivered in reliance on the certification provided in this clause (z) for any purpose to the extent it is publicly available (unless the availability results from a breach of this Agreement or any other confidentiality agreement to which such Rating Agency is subject) or comprised of information collected by the applicable Rating Agency from the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website (or another 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website that such Rating Agency has access to).

(i)              The costs and expenses of compliance with this Section 3.13 by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and any other party hereto shall not be additional expenses of the Trust, but shall be borne by the applicable party hereto.

Section 3.14          Title to REO Property; REO Account.  (a) If title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired (and thus becomes REO Property), the deed or certificate of sale shall be issued in the name of the Trust where permitted by applicable law or regulation and consistent with customary servicing procedures, and otherwise, in the name of the Trustee or its nominee on behalf of the Certificateholders and, if applicable, on behalf of the related Companion Holders, in the case of a Serviced Companion Loan. REO Property with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is excluded for all purposes of this Section 3.14. The Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Noteholder, shall sell any REO Property prior to the close of the third calendar year following the year in which the Trust acquires ownership of such REO Property, within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.856-6(b)(1), for purposes of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code, unless the Special Servicer either (i) applies for an extension of time no later than sixty (60) days prior to

 

-210-
 

the close of the third calendar year in which it acquired ownership (or the period provided in the then applicable REMIC Provisions) and such extension is granted or is not denied (an “REO Extension”) by the Internal Revenue Service to sell such REO Property or (ii) obtains for the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, to the effect that the holding by the Trust of such REO Property subsequent to the close of the third calendar year following the year in which acquisition occurred will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur. If the Special Servicer is granted or not denied the REO Extension contemplated by clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence or obtains the Opinion of Counsel contemplated by clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Special Servicer shall sell such REO Property within such longer period as is permitted by such REO Extension or such Opinion of Counsel, as the case may be. Any expense incurred by the Special Servicer in connection with its being granted the REO Extension contemplated by clause (i) of the second preceding sentence or its obtaining the Opinion of Counsel contemplated by clause (ii) of the second preceding sentence, shall be an expense of the Trust payable out of the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a).

(b)             The Special Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received in connection with any REO Property separate and apart from its own funds and general assets. If an REO Acquisition shall occur, the Special Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more REO Accounts, held on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders and, if applicable, on behalf of any related Companion Holder(s), as applicable, as their interest shall appear, and the Trustee (as holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests), for the retention of revenues and other proceeds derived from each REO Property. The REO Account shall be an Eligible Account. The Special Servicer shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, in the REO Account, within one (1) Business Day after receipt of properly identified funds, all REO Revenues, Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds received in respect of an REO Property. Funds in the REO Account may be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with Section 3.06. The Special Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, and the Master Servicer of the location of the REO Account when first established and of the new location of the REO Account prior to any change thereof.

(c)             The Special Servicer shall withdraw from the REO Account funds necessary for the proper operation, management, insuring, leasing, maintenance and disposition of any REO Property, but only to the extent of amounts on deposit in the REO Account relating to such REO Property. On or prior to each Determination Date (or with respect to a Serviced Companion Loan, on the Business Day preceding each Serviced Whole Loan Remittance Date), the Special Servicer shall withdraw from the REO Account and remit to the Master Servicer, which shall deposit into the Collection Account (or the Companion Distribution Account, as applicable), the aggregate of all amounts received in respect of each REO Property during the one-month period ending on such Determination Date, net of (i) any withdrawals made out of such amounts pursuant to the preceding sentence and (ii) Net Investment Earnings on amounts on deposit in the REO Account; provided, however, that the Special Servicer may retain in such REO Account, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, such portion of such balance as may be necessary to maintain a reasonable reserve for repairs, replacements, leasing, management and tenant improvements and other related expenses for the related REO Property. In addition, on or prior to each Determination Date (or with respect to a Serviced Companion Loan, on the Business Day preceding each Serviced Whole Loan Remittance Date), the Special Servicer shall

 

-211-
 

provide the Master Servicer with a written accounting of amounts remitted to the Master Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account, as applicable, on such date. The Master Servicer shall apply all such amounts as instructed by the Special Servicer on the Determination Date (or with respect to a Serviced Companion Loan, on each Serviced Whole Loan Remittance Date) for the related Distribution Date.

(d)             The Special Servicer shall keep and maintain separate records, on a property-by-property basis, for the purpose of accounting for all deposits to, and withdrawals from, the REO Account pursuant to Section 3.14(b) or Section 3.14(c).

Section 3.15          Management of REO Property.  (a) If title to any REO Property is acquired, the Special Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect, operate and lease such REO Property (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property) for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the related Companion Holders, as applicable, and the Trustee (as holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests) solely for the purpose of its timely disposition and sale in a manner that does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or result in the receipt by the Trust or any Serviced Companion Noteholder of any “income from non-permitted assets” within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code or result in an Adverse REMIC Event. Subject to the foregoing, however, the Special Servicer shall have full power and authority to do any and all things in connection therewith as are in the best interests of and for the benefit of the Certificateholders (and, in the case of each Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Holder(s)) and the Trustee (as holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests) all as a collective whole (taking into account the subordinate or pari passu nature of any Companion Loan, as the case may be) (as determined by the Special Servicer in its reasonable judgment in accordance with the Servicing Standard). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, REO Property with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is excluded for all purposes of this Section 3.15. Subject to this Section 3.15, the Special Servicer may allow the Trust or any commercial mortgage securitization that holds any Serviced Companion Loan to earn “net income from foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(d) of the Code if it determines that earning such income is in the best interests of Certificateholders and, if applicable, any related Companion Holder(s) on a net after-tax basis as compared with net leasing such REO Property or operating such REO Property on a different basis. In connection therewith, the Special Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited on a daily basis (and in no event later than one (1) Business Day following receipt of such properly identified funds) in the applicable REO Account all revenues received by it with respect to each REO Property and the related REO Loan, and shall withdraw from the REO Account, to the extent of amounts on deposit therein with respect to such REO Property, funds necessary for the proper operation, management, leasing and maintenance of such REO Property, including, without limitation:

(i)         all insurance premiums due and payable in respect of such REO Property;

(ii)        all real estate taxes and assessments in respect of such REO Property that may result in the imposition of a lien thereon;

(iii)       any ground rents in respect of such REO Property, if applicable; and

 

-212-
 

(iv)       all costs and expenses necessary to maintain and lease such REO Property.

To the extent that amounts on deposit in the REO Account in respect of any REO Property are insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above with respect to such REO Property, the Master Servicer (subject to receiving notice from the Special Servicer in accordance with the procedures set forth elsewhere in this Agreement) shall advance from its own funds such amount as is necessary for such purposes unless (as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator and (in respect of any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan and prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event) the Directing Certificateholder) such advances would, if made, constitute Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances.

(b)            Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Special Servicer shall not:

(i)         permit the Trust to enter into, renew or extend any New Lease with respect to any REO Property, if the New Lease by its terms will give rise to any income that does not constitute Rents from Real Property;

(ii)        permit any amount to be received or accrued under any New Lease other than amounts that will constitute Rents from Real Property;

(iii)       authorize or permit any construction on any REO Property, other than the completion of a building or other improvement thereon, and then only if more than 10% of the construction of such building or other improvement was completed before default on the related Mortgage Loan, if applicable, became imminent, all within the meaning of Section 856(e)(4)(B) of the Code; or

(iv)       Directly Operate, or allow any other Person, other than an Independent Contractor, to Directly Operate, any REO Property on any date more than ninety (90) days after its acquisition date;

unless, in any such case, the Special Servicer has obtained an Opinion of Counsel (the cost of which shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance) to the effect that such action will not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code at any time that it is held for the benefit of the Trust, in which case the Special Servicer may take such actions as are specified in such Opinion of Counsel.

(c)            The Special Servicer shall contract with any Independent Contractor for the operation and management of any REO Property within ninety (90) days of the acquisition date thereof, provided that:

(i)         the terms and conditions of any such contract may not be inconsistent herewith and shall reflect an agreement reached at arm’s length;

(ii)        the fees of such Independent Contractor (which shall be an expense of the Trust) shall be reasonable and customary in light of the nature and locality of the Mortgaged Property;

 

-213-
 

(iii)       any such contract shall require, or shall be administered to require, that the Independent Contractor (A) pay all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the operation and management of such REO Property, including, without limitation, those listed in subsection (a) hereof, and (B) remit all related revenues collected (net of its fees and such costs and expenses) to the Special Servicer upon receipt;

(iv)       none of the provisions of this Section 3.15(c) relating to any such contract or to actions taken through any such Independent Contractor shall be deemed to relieve the Special Servicer of any of its duties and obligations hereunder with respect to the operation and management of any such REO Property; and

(v)        the Special Servicer shall be obligated to manage and supervise such Independent Contractor in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

The Special Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with any Independent Contractor performing services for it related to its duties and obligations hereunder for indemnification of the Special Servicer by such Independent Contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.

(d)            When and as necessary, the Special Servicer shall send to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Master Servicer a statement prepared by the Special Servicer setting forth the amount of net income or net loss, as determined for federal income tax purposes, resulting from the operation and management of a trade or business on, the furnishing or rendering of a non-customary service to the tenants of, or the receipt of any other amount not constituting Rents from Real Property in respect of, any REO Property in accordance with Sections 3.15(a) and 3.15(b).

Section 3.16          Sale of Defaulted Loans and REO Properties.  (a) (i) Within thirty (30) days after a Defaulted Loan has become a Specially Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer shall order (but shall not be required to have received) an Appraisal and within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Appraisal shall determine the fair value of such Defaulted Loan in accordance with the Servicing Standard; provided, however, that if the Special Servicer is then in the process of obtaining an Appraisal with respect to the related Mortgaged Property, the Special Servicer shall make its fair value determination as soon as reasonably practicable (but in any event within thirty (30) days) after its receipt of such an Appraisal. The Special Servicer may, from time to time, adjust its fair value determination based upon changed circumstances, new information and other relevant factors, in each instance in accordance with a review of such circumstances and new information in accordance with the Servicing Standard; provided that the Special Servicer shall promptly notify the Master Servicer in writing of the initial fair value determination and any adjustment to its fair value determination.

(ii)        If any Mortgage Loan, Serviced Companion Loan subject to an Intercreditor Agreement is a Specially Serviced Loan or to the extent otherwise required pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement, then the Special Servicer shall promptly notify in writing the Master Servicer, any related Companion Holder and any related mezzanine lender, as applicable, of any events requiring notice under the Intercreditor Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof. Thereafter, any related

 

-214-
 

Companion Holder and related mezzanine lender, as applicable, will, notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.16 to the contrary, have the option to purchase the related Mortgage Loan and cure defaults relating thereto as and to the extent set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement.

(iii)       If any Mortgage Loan not subject to an Intercreditor Agreement becomes a Specially Serviced Loan, or if the related Companion Holder or related mezzanine lender, as applicable, for any such Mortgage Loan subject to an Intercreditor Agreement has not previously exercised the option to purchase the Mortgage Loan pursuant to the previous paragraph, the Special Servicer may offer to sell to any Person any Specially Serviced Loan (to the extent consistent with any related Intercreditor Agreement) or may offer to purchase any Specially Serviced Loan, if and when the Special Servicer determines, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that such a sale would be in the best economic interests of the Trust on a net present value basis. In the case of any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, under certain limited circumstances permitted under the related Intercreditor Agreement, to the extent that such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is not sold together with the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan by the Special Servicer for the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan, the Special Servicer will be entitled to sell (with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder if no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is not an Excluded Loan) 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. 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 Excluded Loan) the Directing Certificateholder not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice of its intention to sell any Specially Serviced Loan, in which case the Special Servicer is required to accept the highest offer received from any person for such Specially Serviced Loan in an amount at least equal to the Purchase Price or, at its option, if it has received no offer at least equal to the Purchase Price therefor, purchase such Specially Serviced Loan at such Purchase Price.

(iv)       (A) In the case of a Specially Serviced Loan as to which a default has occurred and is continuing, in the absence of any offer at least equal to the Purchase Price pursuant to clause (iii) above (or purchase by the Special Servicer for such price), the Special Servicer shall, subject to subclause (B) below, accept the highest offer received from any Person that is determined by the Special Servicer to be a fair price for such Specially Serviced Loan, if the highest offeror is a Person other than an Interested Person. If the offeror is an Interested Person, the Trustee (based upon updated Appraisals ordered by the Special Servicer and received by the Trustee (or ordered by the Trustee if the Special Servicer or any of its Affiliates is an Interested Person)) shall determine the fair price unless (i) the offer is equal to or greater than the applicable Purchase Price, (ii) the offer is the highest offer received and (iii) at least two other offers are received from independent third parties; provided, however, that 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, and any such determination by the Trustee shall be binding upon all parties. The Trustee shall act in a commercially reasonable manner in making such determination. In determining whether any offer

 

-215-
 

received from an Interested Person represents a fair price for any such Defaulted Loan, the Trustee shall rely on the most recent Appraisal (or update of such Appraisal) of the related Mortgaged Property conduced in accordance with this Agreement within the preceding 3-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.

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 may (at its option and 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 or investing in 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 shall 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 shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable, from the offering Interested Person and the Special Servicer shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect payment from such Interested Person. If such expense is not paid by the applicable Interested Person within thirty (30) days of demand for payment, such expense shall be reimbursable to the Trustee by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance but the Special Servicer shall continue to use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect such amounts from the applicable Interested Person. Neither the Trustee, in its individual capacity, nor any of its Affiliates may make an offer for or purchase any Specially Serviced Loan.

(B)          The Special Servicer will not be obligated to accept the highest offer if the Special Servicer determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard (and subject to the requirements of any related Intercreditor Agreement), that the rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the Holders of Certificates. In addition, the Special Servicer may accept a lower offer if it determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard (and subject to the requirements of any related Intercreditor Agreement), that the acceptance of such offer would be in the best interests of the Holders of Certificates (for example, if the prospective buyer making the lower offer is more likely to perform its obligations, or the terms offered by the prospective buyer making the lower offer are more favorable); provided that the offeror is not the Special Servicer or a Person that is an Affiliate of the Special Servicer. The Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to sell all Specially Serviced Loans prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee shall have no obligation to make any fair value determination, to the extent required to do so pursuant to this Section 3.16, on the basis of anything other than the related Appraisal.

 

-216-
 

(v)        Unless and until any Specially Serviced Loan is sold pursuant to this Section 3.16(a), the Special Servicer shall pursue such other resolution strategies with respect to such Specially Serviced Loan, including, without limitation, workout and foreclosure, as the Special Servicer may deem appropriate, consistent with the Asset Status Report and the Servicing Standard and the REMIC Provisions.

(b)            (i) (A) The Special Servicer may purchase any REO Property at the Purchase Price therefor (in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, such purchase shall be a purchase of the entire REO Property, including the portion relating to the related Companion Loan). The Special Servicer may also offer to sell to any Person any REO Property (in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, such sale shall be a sale of the entire REO Property, including the portion relating to the related Companion Loan), if and when the Special Servicer determines, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that such a sale would be in the best economic interest of the Trust and the related Companion Holders. The Special Servicer shall give the Trustee, the Master Servicer, each Companion Holder and the Certificate Administrator and, in respect of any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan and prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder, not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice of the Purchase Price and its intention to (i) purchase any REO Property at the Purchase Price therefor or (ii) sell any REO Property, in which case the Special Servicer shall accept the highest offer received from any Person for any REO Property in an amount at least equal to the Purchase Price therefor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, and subject to the Servicing Standard, the Master Servicer, an Affiliate of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or an Affiliate of the Special Servicer, or an employee of either of them may act as broker in connection with the sale of any REO Property and may retain from the proceeds of such sale a brokerage commission that does not exceed the commission that would have been earned by an independent broker pursuant to a brokerage agreement entered into at arm’s length.

(B)          In the absence of any such offer as set forth in subclause (A) above, the Special Servicer shall, subject to subclause (C) below, accept the highest offer for such REO Property received from any Person that is determined to be a fair price (1) by the Special Servicer, if the highest bidder is a Person other than an Interested Person, or (2) by the Trustee, if the highest bidder is an Interested Person unless (i) the offer is equal to or greater than the applicable Purchase Price, (ii) the offer is the highest offer received and (iii) at least two other offers are received from independent third parties; provided, however, that 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither the Trustee, in its individual capacity, nor any of its Affiliates may make an offer for or purchase any REO Property pursuant hereto.

(C)          The Special Servicer shall not be obligated by either of the foregoing paragraphs or otherwise to accept the highest offer if the Special Servicer determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan or the related Companion Holder, and in either case, as a collective whole (taking into account the subordinate or pari

 

-217-
 

passu nature of any Serviced Companion Loans). In addition, the Special Servicer may accept a lower offer if it determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that acceptance of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan or the related Companion Holder, and in either case, as a collective whole (taking into account the subordinate or pari passu nature of any Serviced Companion Loans) (for example, if the prospective buyer making the lower offer is more likely to perform its obligations, or the terms offered by the prospective buyer making the lower offer are more favorable); provided that the offeror is not the Special Servicer or a Person that is an Affiliate of the Special Servicer.

(D)          In determining whether any offer received from an Interested Person represents a fair price for any REO Property, the Trustee shall obtain and may conclusively rely on the opinion of an Independent appraiser or other Independent expert in real estate matters retained by the Trustee in connection with making such determination. The reasonable cost of such Independent appraiser or other Independent expert shall be an expense of the offering Interested Person purchaser. The reasonable fees of and the costs of all appraisals, inspection reports and broker opinions of value incurred by any such third party shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable, from the offering Interested Person and the Special Servicer shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect payment from such Interested Person. If such expense is not paid by the applicable Interested Person within thirty (30) days of demand for payment, such expense shall be reimbursable to the Trustee by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance but the Special Servicer shall continue to use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect such amounts from the applicable Interested Person. In determining whether any offer constitutes a fair price for any REO Property, the Special Servicer or the Trustee (or, if applicable, such appraiser) shall take into account, and any appraiser or other expert in real estate matters shall be instructed to take into account, as applicable, among other factors, the physical condition of such REO Property, the state of the local economy and the Trust’s obligation to comply with REMIC Provisions.

(ii)        Subject to the Servicing Standard, the Special Servicer shall act on behalf of the Trust and the related Companion Holders in negotiating and taking any other action necessary or appropriate in connection with the sale of any REO Property, including the collection of all amounts payable in connection therewith. A sale of any REO Property shall be without recourse to, or representation or warranty by, the Trustee, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor or the Trust (except that any contract of sale and assignment and conveyance documents may contain customary warranties of title, so long as the only recourse for breach thereof is to the Trust) and, if consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor nor the Trustee shall have any liability to the Trust or any Certificateholder or related Companion Holder (if applicable)

 

-218-
 

with respect to the purchase price therefor accepted by the Special Servicer or the Trustee.

(c)            Any sale of a Defaulted Loan or any REO Property shall be for cash only (unless changes in the REMIC Provisions or authoritative interpretations thereof made or issued subsequent to the Startup Day allow a sale for other consideration).

(d)            With respect to each Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan, pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, if the related Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan becomes a Defaulted Loan, and if the Special Servicer determines to sell the related Mortgage Loan that has become a Defaulted Loan in accordance with this Section 3.16, then the Special Servicer shall sell the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan together with such Mortgage Loan as one whole loan and shall require that all offers be submitted to the Special Servicer in writing. To the extent a determination is required to be made hereunder as to whether any cash offer constitutes a fair price for the Serviced Whole Loan, such determination shall be made by the Trustee if the offeror is an Interested Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Servicer will not be permitted to sell the related Mortgage Loan together with the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s) if it becomes a defaulted Whole Loan without the written consent of the holder of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (provided that such consent is not required if the holder of the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan is the Mortgagor or an affiliate of the Mortgagor) unless the Special Servicer has delivered to the holder of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan: (a) at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior written notice of any decision to attempt to sell such Serviced Whole Loan; (b) at least ten (10) days prior to the permitted sale date, a copy of each bid package (together with any material amendments to such bid packages) received by the Special Servicer in connection with any such proposed sale; (c) at least ten (10) days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of the most recent appraisal for such Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan, and any documents in the servicing file reasonably requested by the holder of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan that are material to the sale price of the Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan; and (d) 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 other documents being provided to other offerors and all leases or other documents that are approved by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in connection with the proposed sale. The holder of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (or its representative) will be permitted to submit an offer at any sale of such Whole Loan; however, the related Mortgagor and its agents and Affiliates shall not be permitted to submit an offer at such sale. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to each Serviced Whole Loan, the holder of the related Companion Loan may waive any of the delivery or timing requirements set forth in this paragraph with respect to the related Whole Loan. If the Trustee is required to determine whether a cash offer by an Interested Person constitutes a fair price, the Trustee may (at its option and at the expense of the offering Interested Person purchaser) designate an independent third party expert in real estate or commercial mortgage loan matters with at least 5 years’ experience in valuing or investing in loans similar to the subject Mortgage Loan, that has been selected with reasonable care by the Trustee to determine if such cash offer constitutes a fair price for such Mortgage Loan. The Trustee shall act in a commercially reasonable manner in making such determination. If the Trustee designates such a third party to make such determination, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon such third party’s

 

-219-
 

determination. The reasonable fees of, and the costs of all appraisals, inspection reports and broker opinions of value incurred by any such third party shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable, from the offering Interested Person and the Special Servicer shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect payment from such Interested Person. If such expense is not paid by the applicable Interested Person within thirty (30) days of demand for payment, such expense shall be reimbursable to the Trustee by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance but the Special Servicer shall continue to use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect such amounts from the applicable Interested Person.

(e)            (i) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.16 to the contrary, pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement, the holder of the related AB Subordinate Companion Loan for each applicable Serviced Whole Loan will have the right to purchase the related Mortgage Loan or related REO Property, as applicable. Such right of the holder of the AB Subordinate Companion Loan shall be given priority over any provision described in this Section 3.16 as and to the extent set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement. If the related Mortgage Loan or related REO Property is purchased by the holder of such AB Subordinate Companion Loan, repurchased by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller or otherwise ceases to be subject to this Agreement, the related AB Subordinate Companion Loan will no longer be subject to this Agreement. In addition, with respect to the Serviced AB Whole Loan, pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, if the related Serviced AB Whole Loan becomes a Defaulted Loan, and if the Special Servicer determines to sell the related Mortgage Loan that has become a Defaulted Loan in accordance with this Section 3.16, then the Special Servicer will not be required to sell the related AB Subordinate Companion Loan together with such Mortgage Loan as one whole loan. If no AB Control Appraisal Period exists, the Special Servicer may not sell the AB Subordinate Companion Loan without the prior consent of the holder of the AB Subordinate Companion Loan. If an AB Control Appraisal Period has occurred and is continuing, the Special Servicer has the right (but not the obligation) to sell the AB Subordinate Companion Loan without the consent of the holder of the AB Subordinate Companion Loan,

(ii)        Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.16 to the contrary, any mezzanine lender will have the right to purchase the related Mortgage Loan or REO Property, as applicable, and cure defaults relating thereto, as and to the extent set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement.

(f)             Unless otherwise provided in an Intercreditor Agreement the sale of any Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 3.16 will be on a servicing released basis.

(g)            In the event the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer has the right to purchase any Companion Loan on behalf of the Trust pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall exercise such right.

Section 3.17          Additional Obligations of Master Servicer and Special Servicer.  (a) The Master Servicer shall deliver all Compensating Interest Payments (other than the portion of any Compensating Interest Payment allocated to a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) to the Certificate Administrator for deposit in the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account on each P&I Advance Date, without any right of reimbursement therefor.

 

-220-
 

The Master Servicer shall deliver the portion of any Compensating Interest Payment allocated to a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan to the Companion Paying Agent for deposit in the Companion Distribution Account on each P&I Advance Date, without any right of reimbursement therefor.

(b)            The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide to each Companion Holder any reports or notices required to be delivered to such Companion Holder pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement.

(c)            Upon the determination that a previously made Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, to the extent that the reimbursement thereof would exceed the full amount of the principal portion of general collections on the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account and available for distribution on the next Distribution Date, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, each at its own option and in its sole discretion, as applicable, instead of obtaining reimbursement for the remaining amount of such Nonrecoverable Advance pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(v) immediately, as an accommodation may elect to refrain from obtaining such reimbursement for such portion of the Nonrecoverable Advance during the one month collection period ending on the then-current Determination Date, for successive one-month periods for a total period not to exceed twelve (12) months (provided that, with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan, any such deferral exceeding six (6) months shall require, prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control Termination Event, the consent of the Directing Certificateholder), and any election to so defer or not to defer shall be deemed to be in accordance with the Servicing Standard. If the Master Servicer or the Trustee makes such an election at its sole option and in its sole discretion to defer reimbursement with respect to all or a portion of a Nonrecoverable Advance (together with interest thereon), then such Nonrecoverable Advance (together with interest thereon) or portion thereof shall continue to be fully reimbursable in the subsequent collection period (subject, again, to the same sole option to defer; it is acknowledged that, in such a subsequent period, such Nonrecoverable Advance shall again be payable first from principal collections as described above prior to payment from other collections). In connection with a potential election by the Master Servicer or the Trustee to refrain from the reimbursement of a particular Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof during the one month collection period ending on the related Determination Date for any Distribution Date, the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall further 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 a particular Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof); 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 one-month collection period will exceed the full amount of the principal portion of general collections on the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account for such Distribution Date, then the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall use its reasonable efforts to give the 17g-5 Information Provider fifteen (15) days’ notice of such determination for posting on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(c), unless extraordinary circumstances make such notice impractical, and thereafter will be required to deliver copies of such notice to the Rating Agencies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, failure to give notice as required by the preceding sentence shall in no way affect the Master Servicer’s or the Trustee’s election whether to refrain from obtaining such reimbursement

 

-221-
 

as described in this Section 3.17(c). Nothing herein shall give the Master Servicer or the Trustee the right to defer reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance to the extent of any principal collections then available in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(v).

The foregoing shall not, however, be construed to limit any liability that may otherwise be imposed on such Person for any failure by such Person to comply with the conditions to making such an election under this section or to comply with the terms of this section and the other provisions of this Agreement that apply once such an election, if any, has been made; provided, however, that the fact that a decision to recover such Nonrecoverable Advances over time, or not to do so, benefits some classes of Certificateholders to the detriment of other classes shall not, with respect to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, constitute a violation of the Servicing Standard and/or with respect to the Trustee (solely in its capacity as Trustee), constitute a violation of any fiduciary duty to Certificateholders or any contractual obligation hereunder. If the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, determines, in its sole discretion, that its ability to fully recover the Nonrecoverable Advances has been compromised, then the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to immediate reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances with interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate from all amounts in the Collection Account for such Distribution Date (deemed first from principal and then interest). Any such election by any such party to refrain from reimbursing itself or obtaining reimbursement for any Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof with respect to any one or more collection periods shall not limit the accrual of interest at the Reimbursement Rate on such Nonrecoverable Advance for the period prior to the actual reimbursement of such Nonrecoverable Advance. The Master Servicer’s or the Trustee’s, as applicable, agreement to defer reimbursement of such Nonrecoverable Advances as set forth above is an accommodation to the Certificateholders and shall not be construed as an obligation on the part of the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, or a right of the Certificateholders. Nothing herein shall be deemed to create in the Certificateholders a right to prior payment of distributions over the Master Servicer’s or the Trustee’s, as applicable, right to reimbursement for Advances (deferred or otherwise) and accrued interest thereon. In all events, the decision to defer reimbursement or to seek immediate reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances shall be deemed to be in accordance with the Servicing Standard and none of the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the other parties to this Agreement shall have any liability to one another or to any of the Certificateholders or any of the Companion Holders for any such election that such party makes as contemplated by this section or for any losses, damages or other adverse economic or other effects that may arise from such an election.

(d)        With respect to any Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole Loan), if the related loan documents permit the lender to (but do not require the lender to), at its option, prior to an event of default under the related Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole Loan), apply amounts held in any reserve account as a prepayment or hold such amounts in a reserve account, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, may not apply such amounts as a prepayment, and will instead continue to hold such amounts in the applicable reserve account, unless not applying those amounts as a prepayment would be a violation of the Servicing Standard. Such amount may be used, if permitted under the loan documents, to defease the loan, or may be used to prepay the Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole Loan) or for other purpose consistent with the Servicing Standard and the loan documents, upon a subsequent default.

 

-222-
 

(e)        With respect to any modification or amendment of any Intercreditor Agreement related to a Serviced Whole Loan (to the extent received), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide to the 17g-5 Information Provider a copy of any such modification or amendment, which the 17g-5 Information Provider shall promptly post on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(c).

Section 3.18          Modifications, Waivers, Amendments and Consents.  (a) Except as set forth in Section 3.08(a), Section 3.08(b), Section 3.08(g), this Section 3.18(a), Section 3.18(d), Section 3.18(h), Section 3.18(i) and Section 6.08, but subject to any other conditions set forth thereunder (including, without limitation, the Special Servicer’s processing and/or consent rights pursuant to this subsection (a) with respect to any modification, waiver or amendment that constitutes a Special Servicer Decision or Major Decision) and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or any Serviced Whole Loan, (and with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, subject to the rights of the related Companion Holder to advise or consult with the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, with respect to, or to consent to, a modification, waiver or amendment, in each case, pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement), the Master Servicer shall not modify, waive or amend the terms of a Mortgage Loan and/or Companion Loan that constitutes a Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision (unless, with respect to a Non-Specially Serviced Loan, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer mutually agree that the Master Servicer shall process such request). Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to the rights of the related Companion Holder to advise the Master Servicer with respect to, or consent to, such modification, waiver or amendment pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement, and subject to the Special Servicer’s processing and/or consent rights pursuant to this subsection (a), the Master Servicer, with respect to Non-Specially Serviced Loans, without the consent of the Special Servicer, may modify or amend the terms of any Mortgage Loan and/or related Serviced Companion Loan in order to (i) cure any ambiguity or mistake therein or (ii) correct or supplement any provisions therein which may be inconsistent with any other provisions therein or correct any error; provided that, if the Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and/or related Serviced Companion Loan is not in default or default with respect thereto is not reasonably foreseeable, such modification or amendment would not be a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan and/or related Serviced Companion Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b).

Subject to Section 6.08, applicable law and the Mortgage Loan and/or related Serviced Companion Loan documents, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall permit the substitution of any Mortgaged Property (or any portion thereof) for one or more other parcels of real property at any time the Mortgage Loan and/or related Serviced Companion Loan is not in default pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan and/or related Serviced Companion Loan documents or default with respect thereto is not reasonably foreseeable unless (i) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, obtains Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency (and delivers such Rating Agency Confirmation to the Directing Certificateholder, if permitted by the applicable Rating Agency) and a confirmation of any applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any class of Serviced Companion Loan 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

 

-223-
 

Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25)) and (ii) such substitution would not be a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan and/or related Serviced Companion Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) or otherwise cause an Adverse REMIC Event (and the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, may obtain and rely upon an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the related Mortgagor if not prohibited by the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents, and if so prohibited, at the expense of the Trust) with respect thereto).

In connection with (i) the release of a Mortgaged Property (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property), or any portion of such Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage or (ii) the taking of a Mortgaged Property (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgaged Property), or any portion of such Mortgaged Property by exercise of the power of eminent domain or condemnation, if the related Mortgage Loan documents require the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to calculate (or to approve the calculation of the related Mortgagor 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 shall, 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.

If, following any such release or taking, the loan-to-value ratio as so calculated is greater than 125%, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall require payment of principal by a “qualified amount” as determined under Revenue Procedure 2010-30 or successor provisions, unless the related borrower provides an Opinion of Counsel that if such amount is not paid the related Mortgage Loan will not fail to be a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code.

(b)            If the Special Servicer determines that a modification, waiver or amendment (including, without limitation, the forgiveness or deferral of interest or principal or the substitution of collateral pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and/or related Serviced Companion Loan or otherwise, the 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 (as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of the Special Servicer), is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery on a net present value basis (the relevant discounting to be performed at the related Mortgage Rate) to the Trust and, if applicable, the Companion Holders, as the holders of the related Serviced Companion Loan, than liquidation of such Specially Serviced Loan, then the Special Servicer may agree to a modification, waiver or amendment of such Specially Serviced Loan, subject to (x) the provisions of this Section 3.18(b) and Section 3.18(c), (y) with respect to any Mortgage Loan, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the approval of the Directing Certificateholder (or after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, but prior to a Consultation Termination Event, upon consultation with the Directing Certificateholder) as provided in Section 6.08; provided that with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, the rights of the related Serviced Companion Noteholder or with respect to a Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) with mezzanine debt, the

 

-224-
 

rights of the related mezzanine lender, 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 or mezzanine intercreditor agreement, as applicable; provided that in the case of any release or substitution of collateral (other than a defeasance), the Special Servicer shall have obtained an Opinion of Counsel that such release or substitution would not be a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) or otherwise cause an Adverse REMIC Event. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any Excluded Loan (regardless of whether a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing), the Special Servicer shall consult with the Operating Advisor, on a non-binding basis, in connection with the related transactions involving proposed Major Decisions and consider alternative actions recommended by the Operating Advisor, in respect thereof, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6.08 for consulting with the Operating Advisor.

With respect to non-Specially Serviced Loans, the Master Servicer, prior to taking any action with respect to any Major Decision (or making a determination not to take action with respect to a Major Decision) or any Special Servicer Decision (or making a determination not to take action with respect to a Special Servicer Decision) shall be required to refer the request to the Special Servicer. The Special Servicer shall process the request directly. However, if the Master Servicer and Special Servicer mutually agree that the Master Servicer shall process such request, the Master Servicer shall prepare and submit its written analysis and recommendation to the Special Servicer with all information reasonably available to 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 shall be entitled to approve or disapprove any modification, waiver or amendment that constitutes such a Major Decision or a Special Servicer Decision. In any case with respect to any Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision in connection with a non-Specially Serviced Loan, each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be entitled to 50% of any related fee whether or not the Master Servicer processes such request.

The Special Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to the extent possible to cause each Specially Serviced Loan to fully amortize prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date and shall not agree to a modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any Specially Serviced Loan if such modification, waiver or amendment would (1) extend the maturity date of any such Specially Serviced Loan to a date occurring later than the earlier of (a) five (5) years prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date and (b) if such Specially Serviced Loan is secured solely or primarily by a leasehold estate and not also the related fee interest, the date occurring twenty (20) years or, to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard giving due consideration to the remaining term of the ground lease and, ((i) prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan) with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder, ten (10) years prior to the expiration of such leasehold estate (including any options to extend such leasehold estate exercisable unilaterally by the related Mortgagor), or (2) provide for the deferral of interest unless interest accrues on the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan generally at the related Mortgage Rate.

(c)            Any provision of this Section 3.18 to the contrary notwithstanding, except when a Mortgage Loan and/or Companion Loan is in default or default with respect thereto is reasonably foreseeable, no fee described in this Section 3.18 shall be collected by any Master

 

-225-
 

Servicer or Special Servicer from a Mortgagor (or on behalf of the Mortgagor) in conjunction with any consent or any modification, waiver or amendment of a Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan, as applicable (unless the amount thereof is specified in the related Mortgage Note) if the collection of such fee would cause such consent, modification, waiver or amendment to be a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Note within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b).

(d)            To the extent consistent with this Agreement, the Master Servicer (subject to the Special Servicer’s consent rights pursuant to Section 3.18(a) if any such waiver, modification or amendment constitutes a Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision) or the Special Servicer may, consistent with the Servicing Standard, agree to any waiver, modification or amendment of a Mortgage Loan and/or Serviced Companion Loan that is not in default or as to which default is not reasonably foreseeable only if the contemplated waiver, modification or amendment (i) will not be a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) and (ii) will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur. In making this determination, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer may obtain and rely upon (and shall provide to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator if obtained) an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the related Mortgagor or such other Person requesting such modification or, if such expense cannot be collected from the related Mortgagor or such other Person, to be paid out of the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a); provided that the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall use its reasonable efforts to collect such fee from the Mortgagor or such other Person to the extent permitted under the related Mortgage Loan documents). Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer may waive the payment of any Yield Maintenance Charge or the requirement that any prepayment of a Mortgage Loan be made on a Due Date, or if not made on a Due Date, be accompanied by all interest that would be due on the next Due Date with respect to any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan that is not a Specially Serviced Loan.

(e)            Subject to Section 3.18(c), the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each may, as a condition to its granting any request by a Mortgagor for consent, modification (including extensions), waiver or indulgence or any other matter or thing, the granting of which is within the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as the case may be, discretion pursuant to the terms of the instruments evidencing or securing the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan and is permitted by the terms of this Agreement, require that such Mortgagor pay to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, as additional servicing compensation, a reasonable or customary fee, for the additional services performed in connection with such request; provided that the charging of such fee is not a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b).

(f)             All modifications (including extensions), waivers and amendments of the Mortgage Loans and/or Companion Loans entered into pursuant to this Section 3.18 shall be in writing, signed by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, and the related Mortgagor (and by any guarantor of the related Mortgage Loan, if such guarantor’s signature is required by the Special Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard).

(g)            With respect to any modification, waiver or amendment for which it is responsible for processing pursuant to Section 3.18 hereof, the Special Servicer shall notify the

 

-226-
 

Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor (after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event), the Directing Certificateholder (other than (i) following the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event and (ii) with respect to any Excluded Loan), the applicable Companion Holder, the related Mortgage Loan Seller (if such Mortgage Loan Seller is not a Master Servicer or Sub-Servicer of such Mortgage Loan or the Directing Certificateholder) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post such notice on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(c)) in writing of any modification, waiver or amendment (in each case, after it is finalized and executed) of any term of any Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan that is modified, waived or amended and the date thereof. With respect to any modification, waiver or amendment (in each case, after it is finalized and executed) for which it is responsible for processing pursuant to Section 3.18 hereof, the Master Servicer shall provide written notice of any such modification, waiver or amendment to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer (and the Special Servicer shall, prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, forward such notice to the Directing Certificateholder), the applicable Companion Holder and the related Mortgage Loan Seller (so long as such Mortgage Loan Seller is not a Master Servicer or Sub-Servicer of such Mortgage Loan or the Directing Certificateholder) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post such notice on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(c)). The party responsible for delivering notice shall deliver to the Custodian with a copy to the Master Servicer (if such notice is being delivered by the Special Servicer) for deposit in the related Mortgage File, an original counterpart of the agreement relating to such modification, waiver or amendment, promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days) following the execution thereof, with a copy to the applicable Companion Holder, if any. Following receipt of the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as applicable, delivery of the aforesaid modification, waiver or amendment to the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Administrator shall forward a copy thereof to each Holder of a Certificate (other than the Class R or Class Z Certificates) upon request. With respect to the processing of any modification, waiver or consent related to any Mortgagor incurring additional debt or mezzanine debt, the Special Servicer (if the Special Servicer processes such modification, waiver or consent pursuant to Section 3.18(a)) or the Master Servicer (if the Master Servicer processes such modification, waiver or consent pursuant to Section 3.18(a)) shall, on or before the later of (i) 3:00 p.m. on the related P&I Advance Date and (ii) five (5) Business Days immediately following the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, obtaining actual knowledge of the incurrence of such additional debt or mezzanine debt, deliver notice of the Mortgagor’s incurrence of such debt, substantially in the form of Exhibit KK, to cts.sec.notifications@wellsfargo.com and an Additional Disclosure Notification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit EE. The notice contemplated in the preceding sentence shall set forth, to the extent the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, has the requisite information or can reasonably obtain such information, (1) the amount of additional debt that was incurred in the related Collection Period, (2) the total debt service coverage ratio calculated on the basis of such Mortgage Loan and additional debt, and (3) the aggregate LTV Ratio calculated on the basis of such Mortgage Loan and additional debt. In the event that either (i) the CREFC® Investor Reporting Package is amended to include such information set forth above, in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer, Special Servicer and Certificate Administrator, as applicable, and the Master Servicer confirms with the Certificate Administrator that such amended CREFC® Investor Reporting Package enables the Certificate Administrator to

 

-227-
 

include such information on Form 10-D in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Certificate Administrator, or (ii) the Trust is no longer subject to the Exchange Act, the additional report in the form of Exhibit KK shall no longer be required hereunder. From time to time, the Master Servicer, Special Servicer and Certificate Administrator may agree on a different delivery time and format for the information set forth in this paragraph.

(h)            The Master Servicer shall process all defeasance transactions, subject to the Special Servicer’s consent with respect to any Special Servicer Decision relating to a defeasance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall not permit (or, with regard to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, take any act in furtherance of) the substitution of any Mortgaged Property pursuant to the defeasance provisions of any Mortgage Loan or a Serviced Whole Loan unless such defeasance complies with Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii) and the Master Servicer has received (i) replacement collateral consisting of government securities within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii), which satisfies the requirements of the applicable Mortgage Loan documents, in an amount sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the related Mortgage Loan (or defeased portion thereof) when due, (ii) a certificate of an Independent certified public accountant to the effect that such substituted property will provide cash flows sufficient to meet all payments of interest and principal (including payments at maturity) on such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan in compliance with the requirements of the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents and, if applicable, Companion Loan documents, (iii) one or more Opinions of Counsel (at the expense of the related Mortgagor) to the effect that the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, will have a first priority perfected security interest in such substituted Mortgaged Property; provided, however, that, to the extent consistent with the related Mortgage Loan documents and, if applicable, Companion Loan documents, the related Mortgagor shall pay the cost of any such opinion as a condition to granting such defeasance, (iv) to the extent consistent with the related Mortgage Loan documents and, if applicable, Companion Loan documents, the Mortgagor shall establish a single purpose entity to act as a successor Mortgagor, if so required by the Rating Agencies, (v) to the extent permissible under the related Mortgage Loan documents and, if applicable, Companion Loan documents, the Master Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to require the related Mortgagor to pay all costs of such defeasance, including but not limited to the cost of maintaining any successor Mortgagor, and (vi) to the extent permissible under the Mortgage Loan documents and, if applicable, Companion Loan documents, the Master Servicer shall obtain, at the expense of the related Mortgagor, Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and a confirmation of any applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any class of Serviced Companion Loan 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 pursuant to Section 3.25); provided, further, however, that no such confirmation from any Rating Agency shall be required to the extent that the Master Servicer has delivered a defeasance certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit U hereto for any Mortgage Loan that (together with any Mortgage Loans cross-collateralized with such Mortgage Loans) is: (i) a Mortgage Loan with a Cut-off Date Balance less than $20,000,000, (ii) a Mortgage Loan that represents less than 5% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of all Mortgage Loans and (iii) a Mortgage Loan that is not one of the ten largest Mortgage Loans by Stated Principal Balance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that requiring the Mortgagor to pay for the items specified in clauses (ii),

 

-228-
 

(iv) and (v) in the preceding sentence would be inconsistent with the related Mortgage Loan documents, such reasonable costs shall be paid by the related Mortgage Loan Seller as and to the extent set forth in the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.

(i)             Notwithstanding anything herein or in the related Mortgage Loan documents and, if applicable, Companion Loan documents, to the contrary, the Master Servicer may permit the substitution of “government securities,” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, that comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii) for any Mortgaged Property pursuant to the defeasance provisions of any Mortgage Loan or a Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable (or any portion thereof), in lieu of the defeasance collateral specified in the related Mortgage Loan documents or Serviced Whole Loan documents, as applicable; provided that such substitution is consistent with the Servicing Standard and the Master Servicer (subject to the Special Servicer’s processing and/or consent rights pursuant to Section 3.18(a) with respect to any such action that constitutes a Major Decision or a Special Servicer Decision) reasonably determines that allowing their use would not cause a default or event of default to become reasonably foreseeable and the Master Servicer receives an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the Mortgagor to the extent permitted under the Mortgage Loan documents and, if applicable, Companion Loan documents or otherwise as a Trust Fund expense) to the effect that such use would not be and would not constitute a “significant modification” of such Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) and would not otherwise constitute an Adverse REMIC Event with respect to either Trust REMIC; and provided, further, that the requirements set forth in Section 3.18(h) (including receipt of any Rating Agency Confirmation) are satisfied; and provided, further, that such securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government, or the Master Servicer shall obtain Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and a confirmation of any applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any class of Serviced Companion Loan 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 pursuant to Section 3.25).

(j)             If required under the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan documents or if otherwise consistent with the Servicing Standard, the Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more accounts (the “Defeasance Accounts”), which shall be Eligible Accounts, into which all payments received by the Master Servicer from any defeasance collateral substituted for any Mortgaged Property shall be deposited and retained, and shall administer such Defeasance Accounts in accordance with the Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Master Servicer permit such amounts to be maintained in the Defeasance Account for a period in excess of ninety (90) days, unless such amounts are reinvested by the Master Servicer in “government securities,” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, that comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii). To the extent not required or permitted to be placed in a separate account, the Master Servicer shall deposit all payments received by it from defeasance collateral substituted for any Mortgaged Property into the Collection Account and treat any such payments as payments made on the Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan in advance of its Due Date in accordance with clause (a)(i) of the definition of “Available Funds”, and not as a prepayment of the related Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan. Notwithstanding

 

-229-
 

anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Master Servicer permit such amounts to be maintained in the Collection Account for a period in excess of 365 days (or 366 days in the case of a leap year).

(k)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall, unless it has received Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and a confirmation of any applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any class of Serviced Companion Loan 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 pursuant to Section 3.25) (the cost of which shall be paid by the related Mortgagor, if so allowed by the terms of the related loan documents and otherwise paid out of general collections) grant or accept any consent, approval or direction regarding the termination of the related property manager or the designation of any replacement property manager, with respect to any Mortgaged Property that secures a Mortgage Loan that (i) is one of the ten largest Mortgage Loans a by Stated Principal Balance or (ii) has an unpaid principal balance that is at least equal to five percent (5%) of the then aggregate principal balance of all Mortgage Loans or $35,000,000.

(l)             Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in connection with any modification, waiver, consent or amendment in connection with any defeasance transaction contemplated in clause (vi)(E) in the definition of “Major Decision”, the Special Servicer shall not approve any such modification, waiver or amendment or consent thereto without first having received a copy of an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer that such modification, waiver, consent or amendment will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event.

Section 3.19          Transfer of Servicing Between Master Servicer and Special Servicer; Recordkeeping; Asset Status Report.  (a) Upon determining that a Servicing Transfer Event has occurred with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Companion Loan, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall promptly give notice to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, the Operating Advisor and ((i) prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan) the Directing Certificateholder thereof, and the Master Servicer shall deliver the related Mortgage File and Servicing File to the Special Servicer and concurrently provide a copy of such Servicing File, exclusive of all Privileged Communications, to the Operating Advisor. The Master Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to provide the Special Servicer with all information, documents and records (including records stored electronically on computer tapes, magnetic discs and the like) relating to such Mortgage Loan and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan, either in the Master Servicer’s possession or otherwise available to the Master Servicer without undue burden or expense, and reasonably requested by the Special Servicer to enable it to assume its functions hereunder with respect thereto. The Master Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to comply with the preceding sentence within five (5) Business Days of the occurrence of each related Servicing Transfer Event (or, in the case of clauses (viii), (ix) or (x) of the definition of Servicing Transfer Event, within five (5) Business Days of receiving notice from the Special Servicer of such Servicing Transfer Event when the Special Servicer makes the determination) and in any

 

-230-
 

event shall continue to act as Master Servicer and administrator of such Mortgage Loan and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan until the Special Servicer has commenced the servicing of such Mortgage Loan and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan. The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and ((i) prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan) the Directing Certificateholder, a copy of the notice of such Servicing Transfer Event provided by the Master Servicer to the Special Servicer, or by the Special Servicer to the Master Servicer, pursuant to this Section 3.19. Prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, the Certificate Administrator shall deliver to each Controlling Class Certificateholder a copy of the notice of such Servicing Transfer Event provided by the Master Servicer pursuant to this Section 3.19.

Upon determining that a Specially Serviced Loan (other than an REO Loan) has become current and has remained current for three consecutive Periodic Payments (provided that (i) no additional Servicing Transfer Event is foreseeable in the reasonable judgment of the Special Servicer, and (ii) for such purposes taking into account any modification or amendment of such Mortgage Loan and, if applicable, the related Companion Loan), and that no other Servicing Transfer Event is continuing with respect thereto, the Special Servicer shall immediately give notice thereof to the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the related Serviced Companion Noteholder and ((i) prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan) the Directing Certificateholder and shall return the related Mortgage File and Servicing File to the Master Servicer (or copies thereof if copies only were delivered to the Special Servicer) and upon giving such notice, and returning such Mortgage File and Servicing File to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer’s obligation to service such Corrected Loan shall terminate and the obligations of the Master Servicer to service and administer such Mortgage Loan and, if applicable, the related Companion Loan shall recommence.

(b)            In servicing any Specially Serviced Loans and Serviced Companion Loans, the Special Servicer will provide to the Custodian originals of documents included within the definition of “Mortgage File” for inclusion in the related Mortgage File to the extent within its possession (with a copy of each such original to the Master Servicer), and provide the Master Servicer with copies of any additional related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan information including correspondence with the related Mortgagor.

(c)            Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.12(c), the Master Servicer shall maintain ongoing payment records with respect to each of the Specially Serviced Loans, Serviced Companion Loans and REO Properties (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and shall provide the Special Servicer with any information in its possession with respect to such records to enable the Special Servicer to perform its duties under this Agreement; provided that this statement shall not be construed to require the Master Servicer to produce any additional reports.

(d)            The Special Servicer, at the earlier of (x) sixty (60) days after a Servicing Transfer Event, and (y) prior to taking action with respect to any Major Decision (or making a determination not to take action with respect to a Major Decision), for a Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and, if applicable, the related Companion Loan, shall

 

-231-
 

deliver in electronic format a report (the “Asset Status Report”) with respect to such Mortgage Loan and related Companion Loan and the related Mortgaged Property to the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Certificateholder (but only in respect of any Mortgage Loan other than any Excluded Loan and prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event), the Operating Advisor (but only after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post such report on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(c)) and, with respect to any related Serviced Companion Loan, to the extent the related Serviced Companion Loan has been included in an Other Securitization, to the master servicer of such Other Securitization into which the related Serviced Companion Loan has been sold or to the related Companion Holder. Such Asset Status Report shall set forth the following information to the extent reasonably determinable based on the information that was delivered to the Special Servicer in connection with the transfer of servicing pursuant to the Servicing Transfer Event:

(i)          summary of the status of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan and any negotiations with the related Mortgagors;

(ii)        if a Servicing Transfer Event has occurred and is continuing:

a)     a discussion of the legal and environmental considerations reasonably known at such time to the Special Servicer, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that are applicable to the exercise of remedies as aforesaid and to the enforcement of any related guaranties or other collateral for the related Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan and whether outside legal counsel has been retained;

b)    the most current rent roll and income or operating statement available for the related Mortgaged Properties;

c)    the Special Servicer’s recommendations on how the related Mortgage Loan might be returned to performing status or otherwise realized upon;

d)    a copy of the last obtained Appraisal of the Mortgaged Property;

e)    the status of any foreclosure actions or other proceedings undertaken with respect to the related Mortgage 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;

f)     a description of any amendment, modification or waiver of a material term of any ground lease; and

g)     if the Special Servicer elects to proceed with a non-judicial foreclosure, then a statement as to (A) whether there was a violation of a non-recourse carveout under the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole

 

-232-
 

 

Loan and (B) any determination not to pursue a deficiency judgment against the related Mortgagor or guarantor;

(iii)       the alternative courses of action that were or are being considered by the Special Servicer in connection with the proposed or taken actions;

(iv)       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;

(v)        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 (including the applicable calculation rate used) and all related assumptions; and

(vi)       such other information as the Special Servicer deems relevant in light of the proposed or taken action and the Servicing Standard.

If within ten (10) Business Days of receiving an Asset Status Report, the Directing Certificateholder does not disapprove such Asset Status Report in writing (or twenty (20) Business Days in the case of an Asset Status Report prepared prior to making a determination of an Acceptable Insurance Default), the Directing Certificateholder shall be deemed to have approved the Asset Status Report and the Special Servicer shall implement the recommended action as outlined in such Asset Status Report; provided, however, that the Special Servicer may not take any action that is contrary to applicable law, the Servicing Standard or the terms of the applicable Mortgage Loan documents. If, with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan, prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder disapproves such Asset Status Report within ten (10) Business Days (or twenty (20) Business Days in the case of an Asset Status Report prepared prior to making a determination of an Acceptable Insurance Default) of receipt and the Special Servicer has not made the affirmative determination described below, the Special Servicer shall revise such Asset Status Report and deliver a new Asset Status Report as soon as practicable, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after such disapproval, to the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Certificateholder (prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event and other than if an Excluded Loan is involved), the Operating Advisor (but only after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post such report on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(c)), and, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Serviced Companion Noteholder; provided, however, that, if the Special Servicer determines that emergency action is necessary to protect the related Mortgaged Property or the interests of the Certificateholders and any related Serviced Companion Noteholder, or if a failure to take any such action at such time would be inconsistent with the Servicing Standard, the Special Servicer may take actions with respect to the related Mortgaged Property before the expiration of the ten (10) Business Day period (or, in the case of an Asset Status Report prepared prior to making a determination of an Acceptable Insurance Default, twenty (20) Business Day period) if the Special Servicer reasonably determines in

 

-233-
 

accordance with the Servicing Standard that failure to take such actions before the expiration of the ten (10) Business Day period (or, in the case of an Asset Status Report prepared prior to making a determination of an Acceptable Insurance Default, twenty (20) Business Day period) would materially and adversely affect the interest of the Certificateholders and the related Serviced Companion Noteholder (if applicable) and the Special Servicer has made a reasonable effort, prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control Termination Event and other than if an Excluded Loan is involved, to contact the Directing Certificateholder. With respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan, prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control Termination Event, the Special Servicer shall revise such Asset Status Report as described above in this Section 3.19(d) until the Directing Certificateholder shall fail to disapprove such revised Asset Status Report in writing within ten (10) Business Days of receiving such revised Asset Status Report or until the Special Servicer makes a determination, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that such objection is not in the best interests of all the Certificateholders and, if applicable, any related Serviced Companion Noteholder(s) (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and/or Serviced Companion Noteholder(s), if applicable, constitute a single lender); provided that, if the Directing Certificateholder does not approve an Asset Status Report within sixty (60) Business Days from the first submission of an Asset Status Report, the Special Servicer shall take such action as set forth in the most recently submitted Asset Status Report, provided that such action does not violate the Servicing Standard. The Special Servicer may, from time to time, modify any Asset Status Report it has previously delivered and implement such report; provided that such report shall have been prepared, reviewed and approved or deemed approved pursuant to the terms of this Section 3.19(d). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any Excluded Loan (regardless of whether a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing), the Special Servicer shall consult with the Operating Advisor, on a non-binding basis, in connection with an Asset Status Report for an Excluded Loan which includes a Major Decision and consider alternative actions recommended by the Operating Advisor, in respect thereof, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6.08 for consulting with the Operating Advisor.

No direction or disapproval of the Directing Certificateholder hereunder or under a related Intercreditor Agreement or failure of the Directing Certificateholder to consent to or approve (including any deemed consents or approvals) any request of the Special Servicer, shall (a) require or cause the Special Servicer to violate the terms of a Specially Serviced Loan, applicable law or any provision of this Agreement, including the Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard and to maintain the REMIC status of each Trust REMIC and the grantor trust status of the Grantor Trust, (b) result in the imposition of a “prohibited transaction” or “prohibited contribution” tax under the REMIC Provisions, (c) expose the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Operating Advisor, the Mortgage Loan Sellers, the Trust, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or their respective officers, directors, members, employees or agents to any claim, suit or liability or (d) materially expand the scope of the Special Servicer’s, Trustee’s or the Master Servicer’s responsibilities under this Agreement.

After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, each of the Operating Advisor and (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event) the Directing Certificateholder shall be entitled to consult on a non-binding basis with the Special Servicer and propose alternative courses of action in respect of any Asset

 

-234-
 

Status Report. After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Special Servicer shall be obligated to consider such alternative courses of action and any other feedback provided by the Operating Advisor or the Directing Certificateholder, as applicable. At such times and for such durations as specified in the respective Intercreditor Agreements, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Serviced Companion Noteholder (or its representative) shall be entitled to consult on a non-binding basis with the Special Servicer and propose alternative courses of action in respect of any Asset Status Report. The Special Servicer may revise the Asset Status Reports as it deems reasonably necessary in accordance with the Servicing Standard to take into account any input and/or recommendations of the Operating Advisor, any related Serviced Companion Noteholder (or its representative) (and, during the continuance of such Control Termination Event but prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder).

The Asset Status Report is not intended to replace or satisfy any specific consent or approval right which the Directing Certificateholder may have.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Directing Certificateholder shall not have any consultation or approval rights with respect to an Asset Status Report that relates to an Excluded Loan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Servicer shall not be permitted to follow any advice, direction or consultation provided by the Operating Advisor, any Serviced Companion Noteholder (or its representative) or the Directing Certificateholder that would require or cause the Special Servicer to violate any applicable law, be inconsistent with the Servicing Standard or any Intercreditor Agreement, require or cause the Special Servicer to violate provisions of this Agreement, require or cause the Special Servicer to violate the terms of any Intercreditor Agreement or any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, expose any Certificateholder or any party to this Agreement or their affiliates, officers, directors or agents to any claim, suit or liability, cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes or the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes or result in the imposition of “prohibited transaction” or “prohibited contribution” tax under the REMIC Provisions, or materially expand the scope of the Special Servicer’s responsibilities under this Agreement or any Intercreditor Agreement.

(e)            (i) Upon receiving notice of the occurrence of the events described in clause (c) of the definition of Servicing Transfer Event (without regard to the 30-day period, respectively, set forth therein), the Master Servicer shall with reasonable promptness give notice thereof, and shall use its reasonable efforts to provide the Special Servicer with all information that the Master Servicer has in its possession relating to the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan and reasonably requested by the Special Servicer to enable it to negotiate with the related Mortgagor. The Master Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to comply with the preceding sentence within five (5) Business Days of the occurrence of each such event.

(ii)        After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, upon receiving notice of the occurrence of an event described in clause (c) of the definition of Servicing Transfer Event (without regard to the 30-day period set forth

 

-235-
 

therein), the Master Servicer shall deliver notice thereof to the Operating Advisor at the same time such notice is provided to the Special Servicer pursuant to clause (i) above.

(f)             Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, no later than two (2) Business Days following the establishment of a Final Asset Status Report with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan (other than any Excluded Loan), the Special Servicer shall deliver in electronic format to the Directing Certificateholder a draft notice that will include a draft summary of the Final Asset Status Report (which briefly summarizes such Final Asset Status Report, but shall not include any Privileged Information) (and shall deliver each Asset Status Report with respect to an AB Mortgage Loan, to the Directing Certificateholder). With respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan, if, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such draft summary, the Directing Certificateholder approves of, or does not disapprove of such draft summary, then the Special Servicer shall deliver in electronic format such notice and summary of the Final Asset Status Report to the Certificate Administrator for posting on the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(b). If the Directing Certificateholder affirmatively disapproves of such summary in writing, then within two (2) Business Days of receipt of such disapproval, the Special Servicer shall revise the summary and deliver such new summary to the Directing Certificateholder until the Directing Certificateholder approves such draft summary; provided, however, that if the Directing Certificateholder has not approved of the draft summary of the Final Asset Status Report within twenty (20) Business Days of receipt of the initial draft summary of the Final Asset Status Report, then the most recent draft summary of the Final Asset Status Report delivered by the Special Servicer prior to such 20th Business Day shall be deemed to be the final summary of the Final Asset Status Report; provided, further, however, that if at any time the Special Servicer determines that any affirmative disapproval of such draft summary by the Directing Certificateholder is not in the best interest of all the Certificateholders pursuant to the Servicing Standard, the Special Servicer shall deliver in electronic format such notice and summary of the Final Asset Status Report to the Certificate Administrator for posting on the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(b) notwithstanding such disapproval. The Special Servicer shall promptly deliver (but in any event no later than two (2) Business Days following its completion) a copy of each Final Asset Status Report to the Operating Advisor. The Special Servicer shall prepare a summary of any Final Asset Status Report related to any Serviced AB Whole Loan and deliver in electronic format notice of such final Asset Status Report and the summary of such Final Asset Status Report to the Certificate Administrator for posting on the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(b).

(g)            No provision of this Section 3.19 shall require the Special Servicer to take or to refrain from taking any action because of any proposal, objection or comment by the Operating Advisor or a recommendation of the Operating Advisor.

Section 3.20          Sub-Servicing Agreements.  (a) The Master Servicer and Special Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements to provide for the performance by third parties of any or all of its respective obligations hereunder; provided that the Sub-Servicing Agreement as amended or modified: (i) is consistent with this Agreement in all material respects and requires the Sub-Servicer to comply with all of the applicable conditions of this Agreement; (ii) provides that if the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall for any reason no

 

-236-
 

longer act in such capacity hereunder (including, without limitation, by reason of a Servicer Termination Event), the Trustee or its designee shall thereupon assume all of the rights and, except to the extent they arose prior to the date of assumption, obligations of such party under such agreement, or, alternatively, may act in accordance with Section 7.02 hereof under the circumstances described therein (subject to Section 3.20(g) hereof); (iii) provides that the Trustee (for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the related Companion Holder (if applicable) and the Trustee (as holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests) shall be a third party beneficiary under such Sub-Servicing Agreement, but that (except to the extent the Trustee or its designee assumes the obligations of such party thereunder as contemplated by the immediately preceding clause (ii)) none of the Trust, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, any successor master servicer or special servicer or any Certificateholder (or the related Companion Holder, if applicable) shall have any duties under such Sub-Servicing Agreement or any liabilities arising therefrom; (iv) permits any purchaser of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement to terminate such Sub-Servicing Agreement with respect to such purchased Mortgage Loan at its option and without penalty; provided, however, that the Initial Sub-Servicing Agreements may only be terminated by the Trustee or its designees as contemplated by Section 3.20(g) hereof and in such additional manner and by such other Persons as is provided in such Sub-Servicing Agreement; (v) does not permit the Sub-Servicer any direct rights of indemnification that may be satisfied out of assets of the Trust; (vi) does not permit the Sub-Servicer to modify any Mortgage Loan unless and to the extent the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, is permitted hereunder to modify such Mortgage Loan; (vii) with respect to any Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into after the Closing Date, if such Sub-Servicer is a Servicing Function Participant or an Additional Servicer, such Sub-Servicer, at the time the related Sub-Servicing Agreement is entered into, is not a Prohibited Party and (viii) provides that the Sub-Servicer shall be in default under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement and such Sub-Servicing Agreement shall 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, Certificate Administrator or Depositor under Article XI or under the 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 the Sub-Servicing Agreement regarding creating, obtaining or delivering any Exchange Act reporting items required for any party to this Agreement to perform its obligations under Article XI or under the Exchange Act reporting items required under any other pooling and servicing agreement that the Depositor is a party to. Any successor master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, hereunder shall, upon becoming successor master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, be assigned and may assume any Sub-Servicing Agreements from the predecessor Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable (subject to Section 3.20(g) hereof). In addition, each Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into by the Master Servicer may but need not provide that the obligations of the Sub-Servicer thereunder may terminate with respect to any Mortgage Loan serviced thereunder at the time such Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan; provided, however, that the Sub-Servicing Agreement may provide (if the Sub-Servicing Agreement provides for Advances by the Sub-Servicer, although it need not so provide) that the Sub-Servicer will continue to make all Advances and calculations and prepare all reports required under the Sub-Servicing Agreement with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and continue to collect its Primary Servicing Fees as if no Servicing Transfer Event had occurred

 

-237-
 

and with respect to REO Properties (and the related REO Loans) as if no REO Acquisition had occurred and to render such incidental services with respect to such Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties as are specifically provided for in such Sub-Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall deliver to the Trustee (i) copies of all Sub-Servicing Agreements entered into by it, in each case, promptly upon its execution and delivery of such documents and (ii) upon request of the Trustee, any amendments or modifications to such Sub-Servicing Agreements. References in this Agreement to actions taken or to be taken by the Master Servicer include actions taken or to be taken by a Sub-Servicer on behalf of the Master Servicer; and, in connection therewith, all amounts advanced by any Sub-Servicer (if the Sub-Servicing Agreement provides for Advances by the Sub-Servicer, although it need not so provide) to satisfy the obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder to make Advances shall be deemed to have been advanced by the Master Servicer out of its own funds and, accordingly, in such event, such Advances shall be recoverable by such Sub-Servicer in the same manner and out of the same funds as if such Sub-Servicer were the Master Servicer, and, for so long as they are outstanding, such Advances shall accrue interest in accordance with Section 3.03(d), such interest to be allocable between the Master Servicer and such Sub-Servicer as may be provided (if at all) pursuant to the terms of the Sub-Servicing Agreement.

The Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall notify the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, the Trustee and the Depositor (and the Special Servicer shall notify the Operating Advisor) in writing promptly of the appointment by it of any Sub-Servicer, except that the Master Servicer need not provide such notice as to the Initial Sub-Servicing Agreements.

(b)            Each Sub-Servicer shall be authorized to transact business in the state or states in which the related Mortgaged Properties it is to service are situated, if and to the extent required by applicable law to the extent necessary to ensure the enforceability of the related Mortgage Loans or the compliance with its obligations under the Sub-Servicing Agreement and the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s obligations, as applicable, under this Agreement.

(c)            As part of its servicing activities hereunder, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders, shall (at no expense to the Trustee, the Certificateholders or the Trust) monitor the performance and enforce the obligations of each Sub-Servicer under the related Sub-Servicing Agreement, except that the Master Servicer shall be required only to use reasonable efforts to cause any Initial Sub-Servicer to comply with the requirements of Article XI hereof. Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the legal prosecution of claims, termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements in accordance with their respective terms and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such time as is in accordance with the Servicing Standard. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall have the right to remove a Sub-Servicer retained by it in accordance with the terms of the related Sub-Servicing Agreement.

(d)            In the event the Trustee or its designee becomes successor master servicer and assumes the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under any Sub-Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer, at its expense, shall deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to such Sub-Servicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loans and, if

In no event shall the Trust bear any termination fee required to be paid to any Sub-Servicer as a result of such Sub-Servicer’s termination under any Sub-Servicing Agreement.

(f)             The Trustee, upon the request of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall furnish to any Sub-Servicer any documents necessary or appropriate to enable such Sub-Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under any Sub-Servicing Agreement.

(g)            Each Sub-Servicing Agreement shall provide that, in the event the Trustee or any other Person becomes successor master servicer, the Trustee or such successor master servicer shall have the right to terminate such Sub-Servicing Agreement with or without cause and without a fee. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other contrary provision in this Agreement, the Trustee and any successor master servicer shall assume each Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement and (i) the Initial Sub-Servicer’s rights and obligations under the Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement shall expressly survive a termination of the Master Servicer’s servicing rights under this Agreement; provided that the Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement has not been terminated in accordance with its provisions; (ii) any successor master servicer, including, without limitation, the Trustee (if it assumes the servicing obligations of the Master Servicer) shall be deemed to automatically assume and agree to the then-current Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement without further action upon becoming the successor master servicer and (iii) this Agreement may not be modified in any manner which would increase the obligations or limit the rights of the Initial Sub-Servicer hereunder and/or under the Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Initial Sub-Servicer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

(h)            With respect to Mortgage Loans subject to a Sub-Servicing Agreement with the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer shall, upon request (such request to be made reasonably in advance as appropriate to the circumstances surrounding such request) of the related Sub-Servicer, reasonably cooperate in delivering reports and information, including remittance information, and affording access to information to the related Sub-Servicer that would be required to be delivered or afforded, as the case may be, to the Master Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof.

(i)             Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall not enter into any Sub-Servicing Agreement which provides for the performance by third parties of any or all of its obligations herein, without, with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan, prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control Termination Event, the consent of the Directing Certificateholder, except to the extent necessary for the Special Servicer to comply with applicable regulatory requirements.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Sub-Servicer shall 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, as applicable, without the consent of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable.

Section 3.23          Controlling Class Certificateholders and Directing Certificateholder; Certain Rights and Powers of Directing Certificateholder.  (a) Each Controlling Class Certificateholder is hereby deemed to have agreed by virtue of its purchase of a Certificate to provide its name and address to the Certificate Administrator and to notify the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor of the transfer of any Certificate of a Controlling Class by delivering a notice to each such Person substantially in the form of Exhibit NN attached hereto, the selection of a Directing Certificateholder or the resignation or removal thereof. The Directing Certificateholder is hereby deemed to have agreed by virtue of its purchase of a Certificate to notify the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Operating Advisor when such Certificateholder is appointed Directing Certificateholder and when it is removed or resigns. To the extent there is only one Controlling Class Certificateholder and it is also the Special Servicer, it shall be the Directing Certificateholder.

            On the Closing Date, the initial Directing Certificateholder shall deliver a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1G to this Agreement. Upon the resignation or removal of the existing Directing Certificateholder, any successor Directing Certificateholder shall also deliver a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1G to this Agreement prior to being recognized as the new Directing Certificateholder.

(b)            Once a Directing Certificateholder has been selected, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and each other Certificateholder (or Certificate Owner, if applicable) shall be entitled to rely on such selection unless the Controlling Class Certificateholders entitled to appoint the Directing Certificateholder, by Certificate Balance, or such Directing Certificateholder shall have notified the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and each other Controlling Class Certificateholder, in writing, of the resignation of such Directing Certificateholder or the selection of a new Directing Certificateholder. Upon the resignation of a Directing Certificateholder, the Certificate Administrator shall request the Controlling Class Certificateholders to select a new Directing Certificateholder. In the event that (i) the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Operating Advisor receives written notice from a majority of the Controlling Class Certificateholders that a Directing Certificateholder is no longer designated and (ii) the Controlling Class Certificateholder that owns the largest aggregate Certificate Balance of the Controlling Class (or a representative thereof) becomes the Directing Certificateholder pursuant to the proviso of the definition of “Directing Certificateholder”, then the Controlling Class Certificateholder that owns the largest aggregate Certificate Balance of the Controlling Class (or its representative) shall provide its name and address to the Certificate Administrator and notify the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Operating Advisor that it is the new Directing Certificateholder; provided that the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Operating Advisor shall be entitled to rely on the written notification provided by the purported Controlling Class Certificateholder that owns the largest aggregate Certificate Balance of the Controlling Class without independently verifying that such Controlling Class Certificateholder actually owns the largest aggregate Certificate Balance of the Controlling Class.

(c)            Until it receives notice to the contrary, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the most recent notification with respect to the identity of the Controlling Class Certificateholder and the Directing Certificateholder.

(d)            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 the Special Servicer, as applicable, then until such time as the new Directing Certificateholder is identified, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall 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.

(e)            Upon request, the Certificate Administrator shall deliver to the Depositor, Trustee, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer and, prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder, a list of each Controlling Class Certificateholder as reflected in the Certificate Registrar, including names and addresses. In addition to the foregoing, within five (5) Business Days of receiving notice of the selection of a new Directing Certificateholder or the existence of a new Controlling Class Certificateholder, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Rialto CMBS VII, LLC shall be the initial Directing Certificateholder and shall remain so until a successor is appointed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or until a Consultation Termination Event occurs.

Until it receives notice to the contrary, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the preceding sentence with respect to the identity of the Directing Certificateholder.

(f)             If to the extent the Certificate Administrator determines that a Class of Book-Entry Certificates is the Controlling Class, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the related Certificateholders of such Class (through the Depository) of the Class becoming the Controlling Class.

(g)            Each Certificateholder acknowledges and agrees, by its acceptance of its Certificates, that: (i) the Directing Certificateholder may have special relationships and interests that conflict with those of Holders of one or more Classes of Certificates; (ii) the Directing Certificateholder may act solely in the interests of the Holders of the Controlling Class; (iii) the Directing Certificateholder does not have any liability or duties to the Holders of any Class of Certificates other than the Controlling Class; (iv) the Directing Certificateholder may take actions that favor interests of the Holders of the Controlling Class over the interests of the Holders of one or more other Classes of Certificates; and (v) the Directing Certificateholder shall have no liability whatsoever (other than to a Controlling Class Certificateholder) for having so acted, 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.

 

-242-
 

(h)            (i) All requirements of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to provide notices, reports, statements or other information (including the access to information on a website) to the Directing Certificateholder contained in this Agreement shall also apply to each Companion Holder with respect to information relating to the related Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable; provided, however, that nothing in this subsection (h) shall in any way eliminate the obligation to deliver any information required to be delivered under the related Intercreditor Agreement.

(i)             Until it receives notice to the contrary, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Operating Advisor shall be entitled to rely on the most recent notification with respect to the identity and contact information of the Controlling Class Certificateholder and the Directing Certificateholder.

(j)             With respect to a Serviced Whole Loan and any approval and consent rights in this Agreement with respect to such Serviced Whole Loan, the Directing Certificateholder shall exercise such rights in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement.

(k)            The Certificate Registrar shall determine which Class of Certificates is the then-current Controlling Class within two (2) Business Days of a request from the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, Certificate Administrator, Trustee, or any Certificateholder and provide such information to the requesting party.

(l)             At any time that the Controlling Class Certificateholder is the holder of a majority of the Class F Certificates and the Class F 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 under this Agreement by irrevocable written notice delivered to the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator (which shall be via email to trustadministrationgroup@wellsfargo.com), the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, during such time as a Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event is in existence solely as a result of the operation of clause (ii) of the definition of Control Termination Event and clause (ii) of the definition of Consultation Termination Event, such Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event shall be deemed to no longer be in existence and have not occurred with respect to any unaffiliated third party to whom the Controlling Class Certificateholder that irrevocably waived its right to exercise any of the rights of the Controlling Class Certificateholder has sold or transferred all or a portion of its interest in the Class F Certificates if such unaffiliated third party holds the majority of the Controlling Class after giving effect to such transfer (the “Non-Waiving Successor”). Following any such sale or transfer, the Non-Waiving Successor shall again have the rights of the Controlling Class Certificateholder as set forth herein (including the rights to appoint a Directing Certificateholder or cause the exercise of the rights of the Directing Certificateholder) without regard to any prior waiver by the predecessor Controlling Class Certificateholder. The Non-Waiving Successor shall also have the right to exercise any of the rights of the Controlling Class Certificateholder. No Non-Waiving Successor described above shall have any consent rights with respect to any Mortgage Loan that became a Specially Serviced Loan prior to the sale or transfer of the Class F

 

-243-
 

Certificates to the Non-Waiving Successor and had not also become a Corrected Loan prior to such sale or transfer until such time as such Mortgage Loan becomes a Corrected Loan.

(m)           Promptly upon its determination of a change in the Controlling Class, the Certificate Administrator shall (i) include on its statement made available pursuant to Section 4.02(a) of this Agreement the identity of the new Controlling Class and (ii) provide to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor notice of such event and the identity and contact information of the new Controlling Class Certificateholder (the cost of obtaining such information from DTC being an expense of the Trust). The Certificate Administrator shall notify the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer within ten (10) Business Days of the existence or cessation of (i) any Control Termination Event or (ii) any Consultation Termination Event. Upon the Certificate Administrator’s determination that a Control Termination Event or a Consultation Termination Event has occurred or is terminated, the Certificate Administrator shall, within ten (10) Business Days, post a “special notice” on the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to this provision.

In the event that a Control Termination Event has occurred due to a reduction of the Certificate Balance of the Class F Certificates (taking into account the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balance of such Class in accordance with Section 4.05(a) hereof) to less than 25% of the Original Certificate Balance thereof, such special notice shall state “A Control Termination Event has occurred due to the reduction of the Certificate Balance of the Class F Certificates to less than 25% of the Original Certificate Balance thereof.”

In the event that a Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event has occurred due to the irrevocable waiver by a Class F Certificateholder who has become the Controlling Class Certificateholder of its right to appoint a Directing Certificateholder or to exercise any of the rights of the Controlling Class Certificateholder, such special notice shall state “A Control Termination Event and a Consultation Termination Event has occurred due to the irrevocable waiver by the Controlling Class Certificateholder of its rights as Controlling Class Certificateholder.”

In the event that a Consultation Termination Event has occurred due to the reduction of each Class of Control Eligible Certificates below 25% of its Original Certificate Balance, in each case without regard to the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts, such special notice shall state: “A Consultation Termination Event has occurred because no Class of Control Eligible Certificates exists where such Class’s aggregate Certificate Balance is at least equal to 25% of the Original Certificate Balance of that Class, in each case without regard to the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts.”

In the event of any transfer of a Class F Certificate, and upon notice to the Certificate Administrator in the form of Exhibit NN that results in a termination of a Control Termination Event or a Consultation Termination Event, such “special notice” shall state: “A Consultation Termination Event or a Control Termination Event has been terminated and is no longer in effect due to a transfer of a majority interest of the Controlling Class Certificates to an unaffiliated third party which has terminated any waiver by the prior Holder.”

 

-244-
 

 

With respect to any Excluded Loan, the Directing Certificateholder or any Controlling Class Certificateholder shall not have any consent or consultation rights with respect to the servicing of such Excluded Loan and Control Termination Event and Consultation Termination Event shall be deemed to have occurred with respect to an Excluded Loan.

 

Section 3.24          Intercreditor Agreements. (a) Each of the Master Servicer and Special Servicer acknowledges and agrees that each Serviced Whole Loan being serviced under this Agreement and each Mortgage Loan with mezzanine debt is subject to the terms and provisions of the related Intercreditor Agreement and each agrees to service each such Serviced Whole Loan and each Mortgage Loan with mezzanine debt in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, including, without limitation, effecting distributions and allocating reimbursement of expenses in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement and, in the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the related Intercreditor Agreement, the related Intercreditor Agreement shall govern.

(b)      Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall have any liability for any cost, claim or damage that arises from any entitlement in favor of a Companion Holder or a mezzanine lender under the related Intercreditor Agreement or conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of such Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision of any Intercreditor Agreement that may otherwise require the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to abide by any instruction or direction of a Companion Holder or a mezzanine lender, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be required to comply with any instruction or direction the compliance with which requires an Advance that constitutes or would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. In no event shall any expense arising from compliance with an Intercreditor Agreement constitute an expense to be borne by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer for its own account without reimbursement. In no event shall the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer be required to consult with or obtain the consent of any Companion Holder or a mezzanine lender unless such Companion Holder or mezzanine lender has delivered notice of its identity and contact information to each of the parties to this Agreement (upon which notice each of the parties to this Agreement shall be conclusively entitled to rely). As of the Closing Date, the contact information for the Companion Holders and mezzanine lenders is as set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement. In no event shall the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, be required to consult with or obtain the consent of a new Directing Certificateholder or a new Controlling Class Certificateholder unless the Certificate Administrator has delivered notice to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, as required under Section 3.23(e) or the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as

(d)       With respect to any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, notwithstanding any rights the Operating Advisor or the Directing Certificateholder hereunder may have to consult with respect to any action or other matter with respect to the servicing of such Companion Loan, to the extent the related Intercreditor Agreement provides that such right is exercisable by the related Companion Holder or is exercisable in conjunction with any related Companion Holder, the Directing Certificateholder shall not be permitted to exercise such right or, to the extent provided in the related Intercreditor Agreement, shall be required to exercise such right in conjunction with the related Companion Holder, as applicable (except to the extent that the Directing Certificateholder is the related Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder). Additionally, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall consult, seek the approval or obtain the consent of the holder of any Serviced Companion Loan with respect to any matters with respect to the servicing of such Companion Loan to the extent required under related Intercreditor Agreement and shall not take such actions requiring consent of the related Companion Holder without such consent. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall deliver reports and notices to the related Companion Holder as required under the Intercreditor Agreement.

 

(e)       Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (a)(i) with respect to any non-Specially Serviced Loan the Special Servicer (with respect to any Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision, unless the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer mutually agree that, in connection with any modification, waiver or amendment that constitutes a Major Decision or a Special Servicer Decision, the Master Servicer shall process and determine whether to consent, subject to the consent of the Special Servicer, to such modification, waiver or amendment) or the Master Servicer (with respect to any modification, waiver or amendment that does not constitute a Major Decision or a Special Servicer Decision), or (ii) with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be required (1) to provide copies of any notice, information and report that it is required to provide to the Controlling Class Certificateholder pursuant to this Agreement with respect to any Major Decisions or Special Servicer Decisions or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report relating to a Serviced Whole Loan, to the related Companion Holder, within the same time frame it is required to provide to the Controlling Class Certificateholder (for this purpose, without regard to whether such items are actually required to be provided to the Controlling Class Certificateholder under this Agreement due to the occurrence of a Control

 

-246-
 

 

Termination Event or a Consultation Termination Event) and (2) to consult with any related Companion Holder on a strictly non-binding basis, to the extent having received such notices, information and reports, such related Companion Holder requests consultation with respect to any such Major Decisions or Special Servicer Decisions or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report relating to a Serviced Whole Loan, and consider alternative actions recommended by such related Companion Holder; provided that after the expiration of a period of ten (10) Business Days from the delivery to such related Companion Holder by the Special Servicer of written notice of a proposed action, together with copies of the notice, information and report required to be provided to the Controlling Class Certificateholder, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall no longer be obligated to consult with such related Companion Holder, whether or not such related Companion Holder has responded within such ten (10) Business Day period (unless, the Master Servicer or Special 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 shall be deemed to begin anew from the date of such proposal and delivery of all information relating thereto). Notwithstanding the consultation rights of the related Companion Holder set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, may make any Major Decision or take any action set forth in the Asset Status Report before the expiration of the aforementioned ten (10) Business Day period if the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, determines that immediate action with respect thereto is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders and the related Companion Holder. In no event shall the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, be obligated at any time to follow or take any alternative actions recommended by the related Companion Holder.

 

(f)       In addition to the consultation rights of the holder of a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan provided in the immediately preceding paragraph, such Companion Holder shall have the right to attend (in person or telephonically, in the discretion of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable) annual meetings with the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer at the offices of 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 Whole Loan are discussed.

 

(g)      With respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the Special Servicer shall not modify, waive or amend the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement such that the monthly remittance to the holder of the related Companion Loan is required earlier than 2 Business Days after receipt by the Master Servicer of the related Periodic Payment without the consent of the Master Servicer.

 

(h)      Any modification or amendment to an Intercreditor Agreement that would materially adversely affect the Master Servicer shall require the prior consent of the Master Servicer.

 

(i)        With respect to each Whole Loan, if any Serviced Companion Loan becomes the subject of an “asset review” (or such analogous term defined in the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement) pursuant to the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Custodian shall reasonably cooperate with the asset representations reviewer under the Other Pooling and

Servicing Agreement or any other party to the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement in connection with such Asset Review by providing the asset representations reviewer under the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement or such other requesting party with any documents reasonably requested by the asset representations reviewer under the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement or such other requesting party, but only to the extent such documents are in the possession of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Custodian, as the case may be.

 

Section 3.25          Rating Agency Confirmation. (a) Notwithstanding the terms of any related Mortgage Loan documents or other provisions of this Agreement, if any action under any Mortgage Loan documents or this Agreement requires Rating Agency Confirmation as a condition precedent to such action, if the party (the “RAC Requesting Party”) required to obtain such Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency has made a request to any Rating Agency for such Rating Agency Confirmation and, within ten (10) Business Days of the Rating Agency Confirmation 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 RAC Requesting Party shall 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, promptly request the related Rating Agency Confirmation again. The circumstances described in the preceding sentence are referred to in this Agreement as a “RAC No-Response Scenario.”

 

If there is no response to such Rating Agency Confirmation request within five (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 this Agreement 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 shall be deemed not to apply for such matter at such time (as if such requirement did not exist) with respect to such Rating Agency and the Master Servicer (with respect to non-Specially Serviced Loans, if the Master Servicer is processing the action requiring Rating Agency Confirmation) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans, REO Mortgage Loans and non-Specially Serviced Loans if the Special Servicer is processing the action requiring Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such non-Specially Serviced Loans), as the case may be, may then take such action if the Master Servicer (with respect to non-Specially Serviced Loans, if the Master Servicer is processing the action requiring Rating Agency Confirmation) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans, REO Mortgage Loans and non-Specially Serviced Loans if the Special Servicer is processing the action requiring Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such non-Specially Serviced Loans), as applicable, confirms its original determination (made prior to making such request) that 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 shall be deemed not to apply (as if such requirement did not exist) if (i) as certified in writing by the replacement master servicer or

Section 3.26          The Operating Advisor. (a) The Operating Advisor shall promptly review (i) all information made available to Privileged Persons on the Certificate Administrator’s Website (A) that relates to any Specially Serviced Loan, and (B) that is contained in the CREFC® Servicer Watch List prepared by the Master Servicer and (ii) each Final Asset Status Report delivered to the Operating Advisor by the Special Servicer.

 

(b)       The Operating Advisor and its Affiliates will be obligated to keep confidential any information appropriately labeled as “Privileged Information” received from the Special Servicer or Directing Certificateholder in connection with the Directing Certificateholder’s exercise of its rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, in connection with the review and/or approval of any Asset Status Report), subject to any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree requiring the disclosure of such labeled Privileged Information.

 

(c)       (i)    After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, based on the Operating Advisor’s review of any assessment of compliance report, attestation report, Asset Status Report and other information delivered to the Operating Advisor by the Special Servicer, including each Asset Status Report delivered during the prior calendar year, the Operating Advisor shall (if any Mortgage Loans were Specially Serviced Loans during the prior calendar year) deliver to the Certificate Administrator and the 17g-5 Information Provider within one hundred-twenty (120) days of the end of the prior calendar year for which a Control Termination Event was continuing as of December 31, an annual report (the “Operating Advisor Annual Report”), substantially in the form of Exhibit V (which form may be modified or altered as to either its organization or content by the Operating Advisor, subject to compliance of such form with the terms and provisions of this Agreement including, without limitation, provisions herein relating to Privileged Information; provided, however, that in no event shall the information or any other content included in the Operating Advisor Annual Report contravene any provision of this Agreement), setting forth the Operating Advisor’s assessment of the Special Servicer’s performance of its duties under this Agreement during the prior calendar year on a “platform-level basis” with respect to the resolution and liquidation of Specially Serviced Loans that the Special Servicer is responsible for servicing under this Agreement; provided, further, however, that in the event the Special Servicer is replaced, the Operating Advisor Annual Report shall only relate to the special servicer 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Serviced AB Whole Loan, no Operating Advisor Annual Report will be permitted to include an assessment of the Special Servicer’s performance in respect of such Serviced AB Whole Loan under the related Intercreditor Agreement. Subject to the restrictions in this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 3.26(d) hereof, each such Operating Advisor Annual Report shall (A) identify any material deviations (i) from the Servicing Standard and (ii) from the Special Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement with respect to the resolution or liquidation of Specially Serviced Loans or REO Properties that the Special Servicer is responsible for servicing under this Agreement (other than with respect to any REO Property related to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and (B) comply with all of the confidentiality requirements described in this Agreement regarding Privileged Information (subject to any permitted exceptions). Such Operating Advisor Annual Report shall be delivered to the Certificate Administrator (which shall promptly post such Operating Advisor Annual Report on

 

-250-
 

 

the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(b)) and the 17g-5 Information Provider (which shall promptly post such Operating Advisor Annual Report on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(c)); provided, however, that the Special Servicer shall be given an opportunity to review the Operating Advisor Annual Report at least ten (10) Business Days prior to its delivery to the Certificate Administrator and the 17g-5 Information Provider. The Operating Advisor shall have no obligation to adopt any comments to the Operating Advisor Annual Report that are provided by the Special Servicer. Only as used in this Section 3.26 in connection with the Operating Advisor Annual Report, the term “platform-level basis” refers to the Special Servicer’s performance of its duties as they relate to the resolution and/or liquidation of Specially Serviced Loans, taking into account the Special Servicer’s specific duties under this Agreement 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, Asset Status Report and 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 this Agreement.

 

(ii)     In the event the Operating Advisor’s ability to perform its obligations in respect of the Operating Advisor Annual Report is limited or prohibited due to the failure of a party hereto to timely deliver information required to be delivered to the Operating Advisor or because such information is inaccurate or incomplete, the Operating Advisor shall set forth such limitations or prohibitions in the related Operating Advisor Annual Report. The Operating Advisor shall be entitled to rely on the accuracy and completeness of any information it is provided without liability for any such reliance hereunder.

 

(iii)    The ability to perform the duties of the Operating Advisor and the quality and the depth of any Operating Advisor Annual Report shall 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. The Operating Advisor shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the accuracy and completeness of any information it is provided without liability for any such reliance thereunder.

 

(iv)    In the event a lack of access to Privileged Information limits or prohibits the Operating Advisor from performing its duties under this Agreement, the Operating Advisor shall set forth any such limitations or prohibitions in the related Operating Advisor Annual Report, and the Operating Advisor shall not be subject to any liability arising from such limitations or prohibitions.

 

    (d)      Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Special Servicer will forward any Appraisal Reduction Amount 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 to the Operating Advisor after such calculations have been finalized. The Operating Advisor shall review such

 

-251-
 

 

calculations but shall not opine on or take any affirmative action with respect to such Appraisal Reduction Amount calculations and/or net present value calculations.

 

    (e)     (i)  After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, after the calculation but prior to the utilization by the Special Servicer of any of the calculations related to (i) Appraisal Reduction Amounts or (ii) net present value in accordance with Section 1.02(iv), the Special Servicer shall forward such calculations, together with any supporting material or additional information necessary in support thereof (including such additional information reasonably requested by the Operating Advisor to confirm the mathematical accuracy of such calculations, but not including any Privileged Communications), to the Operating Advisor promptly, but in any event no later than two (2) Business Days after preparing such calculations, and the Operating Advisor shall promptly, but no later than three (3) Business Days after receipt of such calculations and any supporting or additional materials, recalculate and verify 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 any such calculation.

 

(ii)     In connection with this Section 3.26(e), in the event the Operating Advisor does not agree with the mathematical calculations of the Appraisal Reduction Amount (as calculated by the Special Servicer) or net present value or the application of the applicable non-discretionary portions of the formula required to be utilized for such calculation, the Operating Advisor and Special Servicer shall consult with each other in order 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 or any disagreement within five (5) Business Days of delivery of such calculations. The Master Servicer shall cooperate with the Special Servicer and provide any information reasonably requested by the Special Servicer necessary for the calculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount that is in the Master Servicer’s possession or reasonably obtainable by the Master Servicer. In the event the Operating Advisor and Special Servicer are not able to resolve such inaccuracies or disagreement prior to the end of such five (5) Business Day period, the Operating Advisor shall promptly notify the Certificate Administrator of such disagreement and the Certificate Administrator shall examine the calculations and supporting materials provided by the Operating Advisor and Special Servicer and determine which calculation is to apply. In making such determination, the Certificate Administrator may hire an independent third party to assist with any such calculation at the expense of the Trust. The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such third party calculation.

 

    (f)       Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to a Control Termination Event, the Operating Advisor shall have no specific involvement with respect to collateral substitutions, assignments, workouts, modifications, consents, waivers, insurance policies, mortgagor substitutions, lease changes or other similar actions that the Special Servicer may perform under this Agreement.

 

    (g)      The Operating Advisor and its Affiliates shall keep all information appropriately labeled as “Privileged Information” confidential and shall not disclose such information to any other Person (including any Certificateholders other than the Directing

 

-252-
 

 

Certificateholder), other than (1) to the extent expressly required by this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement with a notice indicating that such information is Privileged Information or (2) pursuant to a Privileged Information Exception. Each party to this Agreement 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 an Excluded Loan) other than pursuant to a Privileged Information Exception. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Operating Advisor shall be permitted to share Privileged Information with its Affiliates and any subcontractors of the Operating Advisor that agree in writing to be bound by the same confidentiality provisions applicable to the Operating Advisor.

 

(h)       Subject to the requirements of confidentiality imposed on the Operating Advisor herein (including without limitation in respect of Privileged Information), the Operating Advisor shall respond to Inquiries proposed by Privileged Persons from time to time in accordance with the terms of Section 4.07(a).

 

(i)        As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Operating Advisor shall be entitled to receive the Operating Advisor Fee on each Distribution Date with respect to each Mortgage Loan (including the Serviced Mortgage Loans and the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans but not any Companion Loan) or each REO Loan. As to each Mortgage Loan and each REO Loan, the Operating Advisor Fee shall accrue from time to time at the Operating Advisor Fee Rate and shall be computed on the basis of the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be, and in the same manner as interest is calculated on the related Mortgage Loan or REO Loan, as the case may be, and, in connection with any partial month interest payment, for the same period respecting which any related interest payment due on the related Mortgage Loan or deemed to be due on such REO Loan is computed.

 

The Operating Advisor shall be entitled to reimbursement of any Operating Advisor Expenses provided for pursuant to Section 6.04(a) and/or 6.04(b) hereof, such amounts to be reimbursed from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account as provided by Section 3.05(a). Each successor Operating Advisor shall be required to acknowledge and agree to the terms of the preceding sentence.

 

In addition, the Operating Advisor Consulting Fee shall be payable to the Operating Advisor with respect to each Major Decision for which the Operating Advisor has consultation obligations hereunder. The Operating Advisor Consulting Fee shall be payable from funds on deposit in the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.05(a)(ii) of this Agreement, but, with respect to the period when the outstanding Certificate Balances of the Control Eligible Certificates have not been reduced to zero as a result of the allocation of Realized Losses to such certificates, only to the extent such Operating Advisor Consulting Fee is actually received from the related Mortgagor; provided, 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 shall be payable in full to the Operating Advisor as a Trust Fund expense. When the Operating Advisor has consultation obligations with respect to a Major Decision under this Agreement, the

 

-253-
 

 

Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect the applicable Operating Advisor Consulting Fee from the related Mortgagor in connection with such Major Decision, but only to the extent not prohibited by the related Mortgage Loan documents. The Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, may waive or reduce the amount of any Operating Advisor Consulting Fee payable by the related Mortgagor if it determines that such full or partial waiver is in accordance with the Servicing Standard, but in no event shall the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer take any enforcement action with respect to the collection of such Operating Advisor Consulting Fee other than requests for collection; provided that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall consult, on a non-binding basis, with the Operating Advisor prior to any such waiver or reduction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Operating Advisor will have no obligations or consultation rights as Operating Advisor with respect to: (i) any Non-Serviced Whole Loan or any related REO Property or (ii) with respect to any AB Mortgage Loan, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event; provided, further, that the Operating Advisor shall not be entitled to an Operating Advisor Consulting Fee with respect to any Non-Serviced Whole Loan.

 

(j)        After the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, the Operating Advisor may be removed upon (i) the written direction of Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 15% of the aggregate Certificate Balance of all Classes of Principal Balance Certificates (taking into account the application of Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances of Classes to which such Appraisal Reduction Amounts are allocable) requesting a vote to replace the Operating Advisor with a replacement Operating Advisor selected by such Certificateholders (provided that the proposed replacement Operating Advisor is an Eligible Operating Advisor), (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 and the Certificate Administrator of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency (which confirmations will be obtained by the Certificate Administrator at the expense of such Holders and will not constitute an additional expense of the Trust). The Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice to all Certificateholders of such request by posting such notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(b), and concurrently 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 aggregate Certificate Balance of all Classes of Principal Balance Certificates (taking into account the application of Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances of Classes to which such Appraisal Reduction Amounts are allocable), the Trustee shall immediately replace the Operating Advisor with the replacement Operating Advisor.

  

(k)       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 Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balance of the Classes of Certificates), the Trustee shall promptly terminate the Operating Advisor for cause and appoint a replacement Operating Advisor that is an Eligible Operating Advisor; provided that no such termination shall be effective until a successor Operating Advisor has been appointed and has assumed all of the obligations of the Operating Advisor under this Agreement. The Trustee may rely on a

 

-254-
 

 

certification by the replacement Operating Advisor that it is an Eligible Operating Advisor. Upon any termination of the Operating Advisor and appointment of a successor to the 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 17g-5 Information Provider (for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website), the Depositor, the Directing Certificateholder (but only if no Consultation Termination Event has occurred), any Companion Holder and the Certificateholders.

 

(l)        The holders of certificates representing at least 25% of the Voting Rights affected by any Operating Advisor Termination Event hereunder may waive such Operating Advisor Termination Event within twenty (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 shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose hereunder. Upon any such waiver of an Operating Advisor 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 action taken with respect to such Operating Advisor Termination Event prior to such waiver from the Trust.

 

(m)      Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder shall have the right to consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, to the identity of any replacement Operating Advisor appointed pursuant to this Section 3.26; provided, further, that such consent will be deemed to have been granted if no objection is made within ten (10) Business Days following the Directing Certificateholder’s receipt of the request for consent and, if granted or deemed granted, such consent cannot thereafter be revoked or withdrawn.

 

(n)       The Operating Advisor may resign from its obligations and duties hereby imposed on it (a) upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Directing Certificateholder, if applicable, and (b) upon the appointment of, and the acceptance of such appointment by, a successor Operating Advisor that is an Eligible Operating Advisor and receipt by the Trustee of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency. No such resignation by the Operating Advisor shall become effective until the replacement Operating Advisor shall have assumed the resigning Operating Advisor’s responsibilities and obligations. The resigning Operating Advisor shall pay all costs and expenses (including costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator) associated with a transfer of its duties pursuant to this Section 3.26.

 

(o)       In the event there are no Classes of Certificates outstanding other than the Control Eligible Certificates, the Class X-F Certificates, the Class X-NR Certificates, the Class Z Certificates and the Class R Certificates, then all of the rights and obligations of the Operating Advisor shall terminate without payment of any 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). In connection with any termination pursuant to this Section 3.26(o), no successor Operating Advisor shall be appointed. Upon receipt of written notice of such acts by a

 

-255-
 

 

Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall provide the Operating Advisor with prompt notice upon its termination pursuant to this Section 3.26(o).

 

(p)       In the event the Operating Advisor resigns or is otherwise terminated for any reason it shall remain entitled to any accrued and unpaid Operating Advisor Fees and Operating Advisor Consulting Fees and reimbursement of accrued and unpaid Operating Advisor Expenses pursuant to Section 3.26(i) and shall also remain entitled to any rights of indemnification provided hereunder. 

 

(q)       The parties hereto agree, and the Certificateholders by their acceptance of their Certificates shall be deemed to have agreed, that (i) subject to Section 6.04, the Operating Advisor shall have no liability to any Certificateholder for any actions taken or for refraining from taking any actions under this Agreement, (ii) the Operating Advisor shall act solely as a contracting party to the extent set forth in this Agreement, (iii) the Operating Advisor shall have no (A) fiduciary duty, or (B) other duty except with respect to its specific obligations under this Agreement, and shall have no duty to any particular Class of Certificates or particular Certificateholders, and (iv) the Operating Advisor does not constitute an “investment adviser” within the meaning of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended.

 

(r)        Neither the Operating Advisor nor any of its Affiliates shall make any investment in any Class of Certificates; provided, however, that such prohibition shall not apply to (i) riskless principal transactions effected by a broker-dealer Affiliate of the Operating Advisor or (ii) investments by an Affiliate of the Operating Advisor if the Operating Advisor and such Affiliate maintain policies and procedures that (A) segregate personnel involved in the activities of the Operating Advisor under this Agreement from personnel involved in such Affiliate’s investment activities and (B) prevent such Affiliate and its personnel from gaining access to information regarding the Trust and the Operating Advisor and its personnel from gaining access to such Affiliate’s information regarding its investment activities.

 

(s)       The Operating Advisor shall at all times be an Eligible Operating Advisor and if the Operating Advisor ceases to be an Eligible Operating Advisor, the Operating Advisor shall immediately resign under Section 3.26(n) of this Agreement and the Trustee shall appoint a successor operating advisor subject to and in accordance with this Section 3.26. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Trustee is unable to find a successor operating advisor within 30 days of the termination of the Operating Advisor, the Depositor shall be permitted to find a replacement.

 

Section 3.27          Companion Paying Agent. (a)  With respect to each of the Serviced Companion Loans, the Master Servicer shall be the Companion Paying Agent hereunder. The Companion Paying Agent undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement.

 

(b)       No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Companion Paying Agent from liability for its negligent failure to act, bad faith or its own willful misfeasance; provided, however, that the duties and obligations of the Companion Paying Agent shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement. The Companion Paying Agent shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Companion

 

-256-
 

 

Paying Agent. In the absence of bad faith on the part of the Companion Paying Agent, the Companion Paying Agent may conclusively rely, as to the truth and correctness of the statements or conclusions expressed therein, upon any resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instrument furnished to the Companion Paying Agent by any Person and which on their face do not contradict the requirements of this Agreement.

 

(c)       In the case of each of the Serviced Companion Loans, upon the resignation or removal of the Master Servicer pursuant to Article VII of this Agreement, the Master Servicer, as the Companion Paying Agent, shall be deemed simultaneously to resign or be removed.

 

(d)       This Section 3.27 shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Companion Paying Agent, as regards to rights accrued prior to such resignation or removal.

 

Section 3.28          Companion Register. The Companion Paying Agent shall maintain a register (the “Companion Register”) with respect to each Serviced Companion Loan on which it will record the names and address of, and wire transfer instructions for, the Companion Holders from time to time, to the extent such information is provided in writing to it by each Companion Holder. The initial Companion Holders, along with their respective name and address, are listed on Exhibit S hereto. In the event a Companion Holder transfers a Companion Loan without notice to the Companion Paying Agent, the Companion Paying Agent shall have no liability for any misdirected payment in such Companion Loan and shall have no obligation to recover and redirect such payment.

 

The Companion Paying Agent shall promptly provide the name and address of the Companion Holder to any party hereto or any successor Companion Holder upon written request and any such Person may, without further investigation, conclusively rely upon such information. The Companion Paying Agent shall have no liability to any Person for the provision of any such name and address.

 

For the avoidance of doubt, any notices or information required to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement by any party hereto to a Companion Holder with respect to a Companion Loan that has been included in an Other Securitization shall be provided to the Other Servicer under the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Section 3.29          Certain Matters Relating to the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans. (a)  In the event that any of the applicable Non-Serviced Trustee, the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer or the applicable Non-Serviced Special Servicer shall be replaced in accordance with the terms of the applicable Non-Serviced PSA, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall acknowledge its successor as the successor to the applicable Non-Serviced Trustee, the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer or the applicable Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as the case may be.

 

(b)       If any of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Master Servicer receives notice from a Rating Agency that the Master Servicer is no longer an “approved” master servicer by any of the Rating Agencies rating the Certificates, then the Trustee, the Certificate

 

-257-
 

 

Administrator or the Master Servicer, as applicable, shall promptly notify each Non-Serviced Master Servicer of the same.

 

(c)       In connection with the securitization of each Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, (in each case, only while it is a Serviced Companion Loan), upon the request of (and at the expense of) the related Serviced Companion Noteholder (or its designee), each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, shall use reasonable efforts to cooperate with such Serviced Companion Noteholder in attempting to cause the related Mortgagor to provide information relating to such Whole Loan and the related notes, and that such holder reasonably determines to be necessary or appropriate, for inclusion in any disclosure document(s) relating to such Other Securitization.

 

(d)       In connection with the sale of any Non-Serviced Whole Loan by any Non-Serviced Special Servicer, upon receipt of any notices or materials required to be furnished by the Non-Serviced Special Servicer to the holder of the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement, the Special Servicer shall, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, forward such materials to the Directing Certificateholder for its consent, if such consent is required. The Special Servicer may (with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event) waive any timing or delivery requirements related to such sale to the extent set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement.

 

(e)       With respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Directing Certificateholder, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, or the Operating Advisor, following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, shall be entitled to exercise any consultation rights held by the holder of such Mortgage Loan in its capacity as a “Non-Controlling Note Holder” (or similar term identified in the related Intercreditor Agreement) under the related Intercreditor Agreement.

 

(f)        With respect to the servicing of each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, this Agreement is subject to the related Intercreditor Agreement and incorporates by reference all provisions required to be included herein pursuant to such Intercreditor Agreement.

Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable, the related Mortgaged Property or other collateral securing such Mortgage Loan or such Serviced Whole Loan, or otherwise with respect to the enforcement of the obligations of a Borrower-Related Party under the related Mortgage Loan documents (“Loan-Related Litigation”).

(d)       Notwithstanding Section 3.32(c) above, neither the Special Servicer nor the Master Servicer shall follow any advice, direction or consultation provided by the Directing Certificateholder that would require or cause the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, to violate any applicable law, be inconsistent with the Servicing Standard, require or cause the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, to violate provisions of this Agreement, require or cause the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, to violate the terms of any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, expose any Certificateholder or any party to this Agreement or their Affiliates, officers, directors or agents to any claim, suit or liability, cause an Adverse REMIC Event, or materially expand the scope of the Special Servicer’s, the Master Servicer’s, the Certificate Administrator’s or the Trustee’s, as applicable, responsibilities under this Agreement.

 

(e)       Notwithstanding the right of the Special Servicer provided in this Section to represent the interests of the Trust in Loan-Related Litigation, the Master Servicer shall retain the right at all times to make determinations in the Master Servicer’s sole discretion, relating to material and direct claims against the Master Servicer where a settlement by the Special Servicer has not otherwise been resolved pursuant to the terms of clause (g) below, including but not limited to the right to engage separate counsel, to make settlement decisions and to appear in any proceeding on its own behalf.

(g)       In the event where the Master Servicer or Special Servicer is a named party neither the Special Servicer nor the Master Servicer will settle on behalf of the other such party, any Loan-Related Litigation without such other party’s consent unless: (i) such settlement does not contain or require any admission of liability, wrongdoing or consent to injunctive relief on the part of such other party and such other party is fully released, (ii) the cost of such settlement or any resulting judgment is and shall be paid by the Trust and payment of such cost or judgment is provided for in this Agreement, (iii) such other party is and shall be indemnified as and to the extent provided in this Agreement for all costs and expenses incurred in defending and settling the Loan-Related Litigation and for any judgment, (iv) any such action taken by the Master Servicer at the direction of the Special Servicer shall be deemed (as to the Master Servicer) to be in compliance with the Servicing Standard and (v) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, provides such other party with assurance reasonably satisfactory to such other party, as to the items in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv).

 

(h)       In the event both the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer or the Trust are named in Loan-Related Litigation, to the extent that the Master Servicer and the Special

Servicer deem it appropriate, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall (i) use reasonable efforts to enter into a joint defense agreement and (ii) otherwise cooperate with each other to afford the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer the rights afforded to such party in this Section 3.32.

 

(i)        This Section 3.32 shall not apply in the event the Special Servicer authorizes the Master Servicer, and the Master Servicer agrees (both authority and agreement to be in writing), to make certain decisions or control certain Loan-Related Litigation on behalf of the Trust in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

 

(j)        Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to the requirements of the second sentence in the second paragraph of Section 3.01(a) of this Agreement, (i) in the event that any action, suit, litigation or proceeding names the Trustee, Certificate Administrator or Custodian, in its respective individual capacity, or in the event that any judgment is rendered against the Trustee, Certificate Administrator or Custodian, as applicable, in its individual capacity, the Trustee, Certificate Administrator or Custodian, as applicable, upon prior written notice to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may retain counsel and appear in any such proceeding on its own behalf in order to protect and represent its interests (but not to otherwise direct, manage or prosecute such litigation or claim); (ii) in the event of any action, suit, litigation or proceeding, other than an action, suit, litigation or proceeding relating to the enforcement of the obligations of a Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor under the related Mortgage Loan documents, or otherwise relating to one or more Mortgage Loans or Mortgaged Properties, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall, without the prior written consent of the Trustee, Certificate Administrator or Custodian, as applicable, (A) initiate an action, suit, litigation or proceeding in the name of the Trustee, Certificate Administrator or Custodian, as applicable, whether in such capacity or individually, (B) engage counsel to represent the Trustee, Certificate Administrator or Custodian, as applicable, (C) settle any claim giving rise to liability to the Trustee, Certificate Administrator or Custodian, as applicable, in its individual capacity, or (D) prepare, execute or deliver any government filings, forms, permits, registrations or other documents or take any other similar actions with the intent to cause, and that actually causes, the Trustee, Certificate Administrator or Custodian, as applicable, to be registered to do business in any state (provided that neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be responsible for any delay due to the unwillingness of the Trustee, Certificate Administrator or Custodian to grant such consent); and (iii) in the event that any court finds that the Trustee, Certificate Administrator or Custodian, as applicable, is a necessary party in respect of any action, suit, litigation or proceeding relating to or arising from this Agreement or any Mortgage Loan, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Custodian, as applicable, shall have the right to retain counsel and appear in any such proceeding on its own behalf in order to protect and represent its interests, whether as Trustee, Certificate Administrator or Custodian, as applicable, or individually (but not to otherwise direct, manage or prosecute such litigation or claim); provided, however, nothing in this subsection shall be interpreted to preclude the Special Servicer (with respect to any material Loan-Related Litigation, with the consent or consultation of the Directing Certificateholder prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event, respectively) from initiating any action, suit, litigation or proceeding in its name as representative of the Trust.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Section 3.32, this Section 3.32 shall not apply to any Loan-Related Litigation and shall have no force and effect with respect thereto, in the event that either (i) at the time such Loan-Related Litigation is commenced or at any time during the continuance of such Loan-Related Litigation, Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC is no longer the Special Servicer with respect to the related Mortgage Loan or related Whole Loan or has received notice of its replacement as Special Servicer with respect to the related Mortgage Loan or related Whole Loan whether or not such replacement is effective or (ii) the Depositor, any Sponsor, any Mortgage Loan Seller, any Initial Purchaser, or any of their respective affiliates is an adverse party (with respect to the Trust or the Special Servicer) to such Loan-Related Litigation or holds any interest which is adverse to the Trust or the Special Servicer in the related Mortgage Loan or related Whole Loan (or any portion thereof) or the related Mortgaged Property to which Loan-Related Litigation relates, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by each of the Depositor, Sponsor, Mortgage Loan Seller, Initial Purchaser, or affiliate that is such a party or holds such interest, and in each case under clauses (i) and (ii) above, the applicable party listed above shall provide notice of such occurrence to the Master Servicer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

   (b)       [Reserved]

 

   (c)       On each Distribution Date, each Lower-Tier Regular Interest shall be deemed to receive distributions in respect of principal or reimbursement of Realized Loss in an amount equal to the amount of principal or reimbursement of Realized Loss actually distributable to the Holders of the respective Related Certificates as provided in Sections 4.01(a), 4.01(d), 4.01(f) and 4.01(i) such that at all times the Lower-Tier Principal Amount of each Class of Lower-Tier Regular Interests is equal to the Certificate Balance of the Class of Related Certificates. On each Distribution Date, each Lower-Tier Regular Interest shall be deemed to receive distributions in respect of interest in an amount equal to the Interest Distribution Amount in respect of its Related Certificates plus a pro rata portion of the Interest Distribution Amount in respect of (i) in the case of the Class LA-1, Class LA-2, Class LA-3, Class LA-4, Class LA-5, Class LA-SB and Class LA-S Uncertificated Interests, the Class X-A Certificates, (ii) in the case of the Class LB Uncertificated Interest, the Class X-B Certificates, (iii) in the case of the Class LD Uncertificated Interest, the Class X-D Certificates, (iv) in the case of the Class LE Uncertificated Interest, the Class X-E Certificates, (v) in the case of the Class LF Uncertificated Interest, the Class X-F Certificates and (vi) in the case of the Class LNR Uncertificated Interests, the Class X-NR Certificates, in each case, computed based on an interest rate equal to the excess of the Weighted Average Net Mortgage Rate over the Pass-Through Rate of the Related Certificates and a notional amount equal to its related Lower-Tier Principal Amount, in each case to the extent actually distributable thereon as provided in Section 4.01(a). Amounts distributable pursuant to this paragraph are referred to herein collectively as the “Lower-Tier Distribution

 

-267-
 

 

Amount”, and shall be made by the Certificate Administrator by deeming such Lower-Tier Distribution Amount to be withdrawn from the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account to be deposited in the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account.

 

As of any date, the principal balance of each Lower-Tier Regular Interest shall equal the Certificate Balance of the Related Certificates with respect thereto, as adjusted for the allocation of Realized Losses, as provided in Sections 4.04(b) and 4.04(c). The initial principal balance of each Lower-Tier Regular Interest shall equal the respective Original Lower-Tier Principal Amount. The pass through rate with respect to each Lower-Tier Regular Interest shall be the rate per annum set forth in the Preliminary Statement hereto.

 

Any amount that remains in the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account on each Distribution Date after distribution of the Lower-Tier Distribution Amount, and distribution of Yield Maintenance Charges pursuant to Section 4.01(e)(iii) shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class R Certificates in respect of the Class LR Interest (but only to the extent of the Available Funds for such Distribution Date remaining in the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, if any).

 

(d)       After the Certificate Balance of any Class of Certificates has been reduced to zero, such Class shall not be entitled to any further distributions in respect of interest or principal other than reimbursement of Realized Losses and other amounts provided for in this Section 4.01.

 

(e)       (i)  On each Distribution Date, Yield Maintenance Charges payable with respect to the Mortgage Loans calculated by reference to a U.S. Treasury rate collected during the related Collection Period will be distributed by the Certificate Administrator to the Holders of each Class of Regular Certificates (excluding the Class X-E, Class X-F, Class X-NR, Class E, Class F and Class NR Certificates) in the following manner: (1) pro rata, between (x) the respective Classes of Certificates in YM Group A and (y) the respective Classes of Certificates in YM Group B, based upon the aggregate of principal distributed to the Classes of Principal Balance Certificates in each such YM Group on such Distribution Date, and (2) as among the Classes of Certificates in each YM Group, in the following manner: (A) the Holders of each Class of Principal Balance Certificates in such YM Group will be entitled to receive a portion of each such Yield Maintenance Charge allocated to such YM Group equal to the product of (a) a fraction whose numerator is the amount of principal distributed to such Class of Certificates on such Distribution Date and whose denominator is the total amount of principal distributed to all of the Principal Balance Certificates in that YM Group on such Distribution Date, (b) the Base Interest Fraction for the related Principal Prepayment and such Class of Regular Certificates, and (c) such portion of such Yield Maintenance Charges allocated to such YM Group, and (B) the portion of such Yield Maintenance Charges allocated to such YM Group remaining after such distributions on the Principal Balance Certificates in such YM Group will be distributed (X) in the case of amounts distributable to YM Group A, to the Class X-A Certificates and (Y) in the case of amounts distributable to YM Group B, on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective reductions in their Notional Amounts on such Distribution Date, to the Class X-B and Class X-D Certificates. If there is more than one such Class of Principal Balance Certificates in either YM Group entitled to distributions of principal on any particular Distribution Date on which Yield Maintenance Charges payable with respect to the Mortgage Loans are distributable,

 

-268-
 

 

the aggregate amount of such Yield Maintenance Charges allocated to such YM Group will be allocated among all such Classes of Principal Balance Certificates up to, and on a pro rata basis in accordance with, their respective entitlements thereto in accordance with the first sentence of this paragraph.

 

(ii)      No Yield Maintenance Charge shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class X-E Certificates, Class X-F Certificates, Class X-NR Certificates, Class E Certificates, Class F Certificates, Class NR Certificates, Class R Certificates or Class Z Certificates. After the Certificate Balances and Notional Amounts of the Class A-1 Certificates, Class A-2 Certificates, Class A-3 Certificates, Class A-4 Certificates, Class A-5 Certificates, Class A-SB Certificates, Class X-A Certificates, Class X-B Certificates, Class A-S Certificates, Class B Certificates, Class C Certificates, Class D Certificates and Class X-D Certificates have been reduced to zero, all Yield Maintenance Charges with respect to the Mortgage Loans shall be distributed to the Holder of the Class X-D Certificates.

 

(iii)     All distributions of Yield Maintenance Charges made in respect of the respective Classes of Regular Certificates on each Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01(e)(i) shall first be deemed to be distributed from the Lower-Tier REMIC to the Upper-Tier REMIC in respect of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests, pro rata based upon the amount of principal distributed in respect of each such Class of Lower-Tier Regular Interests for such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01(c) above.

 

   (f)        On each Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall withdraw amounts from the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account (other than amounts with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and shall distribute such amounts to reimburse the Holders of the Regular Certificates (in order of distribution priority) (first deeming such amounts to be distributed with respect to the Related Lower-Tier Regular Interests) up to an amount equal to all Realized Losses, if any, previously deemed allocated to them and unreimbursed after application of the Available Funds for such Distribution Date. Amounts paid from the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account will not reduce the Certificate Balances of the Classes of Certificates receiving such distributions. Any amounts remaining in the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account after such distributions shall be applied to offset future Realized Losses with respect to the Principal Balance Certificates and related Realized Losses in each case allocable to the Regular Certificates. Upon termination of the Trust, any amounts remaining in the Gain-on-Sale Reserve Account shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class R Certificates from the Lower-Tier REMIC in respect of the Class LR Interest.

 

   (g)       All distributions made with respect to each Class of Certificates on each Distribution Date shall be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates in such Class based on their respective Percentage Interests. Except as otherwise specifically provided in Sections 4.01(h), 4.01(i) and 9.01, all such distributions with respect to each Class on each Distribution Date shall be made to the Certificateholders of the respective Class of record at the close of business on the related Record Date and shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of any such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder shall have provided the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the related

 

-269-
 

 

Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent Distribution Dates), or otherwise by check mailed to such Certificateholder at its address in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to such Certificate) will be made in like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

 

Each distribution with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate shall be paid to the Depository, as Holder thereof, and the Depository shall be responsible for crediting the amount of such distribution to the accounts of its Depository Participants in accordance with its normal procedures. Each Depository Participant shall be responsible for disbursing such distribution to the Certificate Owners that it represents and to each indirect participating brokerage firm (a “brokerage firm” or “indirect participating firm”) for which it acts as agent. Each brokerage firm shall be responsible for disbursing funds to the Certificate Owners that it represents. None of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Underwriters shall have any responsibility therefor except as otherwise provided by this Agreement or applicable law.

 

   (h)       Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01, whenever the Certificate Administrator expects that the final distribution with respect to any Class of Certificates (determined without regard to any possible future reimbursement of any amount of Realized Losses previously allocated to such Class of Certificates) will be made on the next Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall, no later than the related P&I Advance Determination Date, post on the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(b) a notice in electronic format to the effect that:

 

(i)       the Certificate Administrator expects that the final distribution with respect to such Class of Certificates will be made on such Distribution Date but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificates at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location therein specified; and

 

(ii)      no interest shall accrue on such Certificates from and after such Distribution Date.

 

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or Holders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to this Section 4.01(h) shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six (6) months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate and subject to escheatment and other

 

-270-
 

 

applicable laws. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust hereunder by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with this Section 4.01(h).

 

    (i)        Distributions in reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to the Regular Certificates shall be made in the amounts and manner specified in Section 4.01(a) or Section 4.01(d), as applicable, to the Holders of the respective Class otherwise entitled to distributions of interest and principal on such Class on the relevant Distribution Date; provided that all distributions in reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated to a Class of Certificates which has since been retired shall be to the prior Holders that surrendered the Certificates of such Class upon retirement thereof and shall be made by check mailed to the address of each such prior Holder last shown in the Certificate Register. Notice of any such distribution to a prior Holder shall be made in accordance with Section 13.05 at such last address. The amount of the distribution to each such prior Holder shall be based upon the aggregate Percentage Interest evidenced by the Certificates surrendered thereby. If the check mailed to any such prior Holder is returned uncashed, then the amount thereof shall be set aside and held uninvested in trust for the benefit of such prior Holder, and the Certificate Administrator shall attempt to contact such prior Holder in the manner contemplated by Section 4.01(h) as if such Holder had failed to surrender its Certificates.

 

    (j)        On each Distribution Date, any Excess Interest received during the related Collection Period with respect to the Mortgage Loans shall be distributed solely to the Holders of the Class Z Certificates from the Excess Interest Distribution Account. Excess Interest will not be available to pay any other amounts except for distributions on Class Z Certificates set forth in the prior sentence.

 

   (k)       On the Serviced Whole Loan Remittance Date, with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan, the Companion Paying Agent shall make withdrawals and payments from the Companion Distribution Account for each Companion Loan in the following order of priority:

 

(i)       to pay to the Master Servicer any amounts deposited by the Master Servicer in the Companion Distribution Account not required to be deposited therein;

 

(ii)      to the extent permitted under the related Intercreditor Agreement and not otherwise previously reimbursed, to pay the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator or any of their directors, officers, employees and agents, as the case may be, any amounts payable or reimbursable to any such Person pursuant to Section 8.05, to the extent any such amounts relate solely to a Serviced Whole Loan related to such Companion Loan, and such amounts are to be paid by the related Companion Holder pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement;

(iii)     to pay all amounts remaining in the Companion Distribution Account related to such Serviced Companion Loan to the related Companion Holder, in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement; and

 

(iv)     to clear and terminate the Companion Distribution Account at the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01.

 

   All distributions from the Companion Distribution Account required hereunder shall be made by the Companion Paying Agent to the related Companion Holder by wire transfer in immediately available funds on the Serviced Whole Loan Remittance Date to the account of such Companion Holder or an agent therefor appearing on the Companion Register on the related Record Date (or, if no such account so appears or information relating thereto is not provided at least five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, by check sent by first class mail to the address of such Companion Holder or its agent appearing on the Companion Register). Any such account shall be located at a commercial bank in the United States.

 

   On the final Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall withdraw from the Collection Account and deliver to the Certificate Administrator who shall distribute to the Mortgage Loan Sellers, any Loss of Value Payments relating to the Mortgage Loans that it is servicing and that were transferred from the Loss of Value Reserve Fund to the Collection Account on the immediately preceding Remittance Date.

   Within a reasonable period of time after the end of each calendar year, the Certificate Administrator shall furnish to each Person who at any time during the calendar year was a Holder of a Certificate, a statement containing the information set forth in clauses (i) and

(b)       [Reserved]

 

(c)       Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer may, at its sole cost and expense, make available by electronic media, bulletin board service or Internet website (in addition to making information available as provided herein) any reports or other information the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, is required or permitted to provide to any party to this Agreement, the Rating Agencies or any Certificateholder or any prospective Certificateholder that has provided the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, with an Investor Certification or has executed a “click-through” confidentiality agreement in accordance with Section 3.13 hereof (which may be a licensed or registered investment advisor) to the extent such action does not conflict with the terms of this Agreement (including without limitation, any requirements to keep Privileged Information confidential), the terms of the Mortgage Loans or applicable law. Notwithstanding this paragraph, the availability of such information or reports on the Internet or similar electronic media shall not be deemed to satisfy any specific delivery requirements in this Agreement except as set forth herein. In connection with providing access to the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s Internet website, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall take reasonable measures to ensure that only such parties listed above may access such information including, without limitation, requiring registration, a confidentiality agreement and acceptance of a disclaimer. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall not be liable for dissemination of this information in accordance with this Agreement, and neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be responsible for any information delivered, produced, or made available pursuant to Sections 3.13 and 4.02(c), other than information produced by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable; provided that such information otherwise meets the requirements set forth herein with respect to the form and substance of such information or reports. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to attach to any report provided pursuant to this subsection, any reasonable disclaimer with respect to information provided, or any assumptions required to be made by such report.

 

The Special Servicer shall from time to time (and, in any event, as may be reasonably required by the Master Servicer) provide the Master Servicer with such information in its possession regarding the Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties as may be necessary for the Master Servicer to prepare each report and any supplemental information to be

 

-276-
 


provided by the Master Servicer to the Certificate Administrator. Neither the Certificate Administrator nor the Depositor shall have any obligation to recompute, verify or recalculate the information provided thereto by the Master Servicer. Unless the Certificate Administrator has actual knowledge that any report or file received from the Master Servicer contains erroneous information, the Certificate Administrator is authorized to rely thereon in calculating and making distributions to Certificateholders in accordance with Section 4.01, preparing the Statement to Certificateholders required by Section 4.02(a) and allocating Realized Losses to the Certificates in accordance with Section 4.04.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer to disclose any information otherwise required to be disclosed pursuant to this Section 4.02(c) or Section 4.02(d) shall not constitute a breach of this Section 4.02(c) or of Section 4.02(d) to the extent the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer so fails because such disclosure, in the reasonable belief of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, would violate any applicable law or any provision of a Mortgage Loan document prohibiting disclosure of information with respect to the Mortgage Loans or the Mortgaged Properties. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may affix to any information provided by it any disclaimer it deems appropriate in its reasonable discretion (without suggesting liability on the part of any other party hereto).

 

(d)       Upon the written request of a Certificateholder, any beneficial owner of a Certificate, or any prospective purchaser of a Certificate that is a Qualified Institutional Buyer and is designated by a Certificateholder or a beneficial owner of a Certificate as such and, in any case, has delivered an Investor Certification to the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator, as soon as reasonably practicable, at the expense of the requesting party, the Certificate Administrator shall make available to the requesting party such information that is in the Certificate Administrator’s possession or can reasonably be obtained by the Certificate Administrator as is requested by such person, for purposes of satisfying applicable reporting requirements under Rule 144A under the Securities Act. Neither the Certificate Registrar, nor the Certificate Administrator shall have any responsibility for the sufficiency under Rule 144A or any other securities laws of any available information so furnished to any person including any prospective purchaser of a Certificate or any interest therein, nor for the content or accuracy of any information so furnished which was prepared or delivered to them by another.

 

(e)       The information to which any Certificateholder is entitled is limited to the information gathered and provided to the Certificateholder by the parties hereto pursuant to this Agreement and by acceptance of any Certificate, each Certificateholder agrees that except as specifically provided herein, no Certificateholder shall contact any Mortgagor directly with respect to any Mortgage Loan.

 

(f)       Upon the reasonable request of any Excluded Controlling Class Holder identified to the Master Servicer (in the case of a Non-Specially Serviced Loan) or the Special Servicer (in the case of a Specially Serviced Loan) to the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s reasonable satisfaction (at the expense of such Excluded Controlling Class Holder) and if such information is in the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s possession, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall provide or make available (or forward electronically) to such Excluded Controlling Class Holder (at the expense of such Excluded Controlling Class Holder) any

 

-277-
 

 

Excluded Information (available to Privileged Persons through the Certificate Administrator’s Website but not accessible to such Excluded Controlling Class Holder through the Certificate Administrator’s Website) relating to any Excluded Controlling Class Loan with respect to which such Excluded Controlling Class Holder is not a Borrower Party; provided that, in connection therewith, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer may require a written confirmation executed by the requesting Person substantially in such form as may be reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, generally to the effect that such Person is the Directing Certificateholder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder, will keep such Excluded Information confidential and is not a Borrower Party, upon which the Master Servicer or Special Servicer may conclusively rely. In addition, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on delivery from the Directing Certificateholder or a Controlling Class Certificateholder, as applicable, of an Investor Certification substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1D that such Directing Certificateholder or Controlling Class Certificateholder is not an Excluded Controlling Class Holder with respect to a particular Mortgage Loan. For the avoidance of doubt, the Special Servicer referenced in this Section 4.02(f) shall include any applicable Excluded Special Servicer with respect to the related Excluded Special Servicer Loan(s).

 

Section 4.03          P&I Advances. (a)  On or before 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on each P&I Advance Date, the Master Servicer shall (i) remit to the Certificate Administrator for deposit from its own funds into the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account, an amount equal to the aggregate amount of P&I Advances, if any, with respect to the Mortgage Loans to be made in respect of the related Distribution Date or (ii) apply amounts held in the Collection Account, for future distribution to Certificateholders in subsequent months in discharge of any such obligation to make P&I Advances with respect to the Mortgage Loans aggregating the total amount of P&I Advances to be made. Any amounts held in the Collection Account for future distribution and so used to make P&I Advances with respect to the Mortgage Loans shall be appropriately reflected in the Master Servicer’s records and replaced by the Master Servicer by deposit in the Collection Account on or before the Business Day immediately preceding the next succeeding P&I Advance Date (to the extent not previously replaced through the deposit of Late Collections of the delinquent principal and/or interest in respect of which P&I Advances were made). The Master Servicer shall notify the Certificate Administrator of (i) the aggregate amount of P&I Advances with respect to the Mortgage Loans and any REO Mortgage Loans for a Distribution Date and (ii) the amount of any Nonrecoverable P&I Advances with respect to the Mortgage Loans and any REO Mortgage Loans for such Distribution Date. If the Master Servicer fails to make a required P&I Advance by 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on any P&I Advance Date, the Trustee shall make such P&I Advance pursuant to Section 7.05 by noon, New York City time, on the related Distribution Date, unless the Master Servicer shall have cured such failure (and provided written notice of such cure to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator) by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such Distribution Date. In the event that the Master Servicer fails to make a required P&I Advance hereunder, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Trustee of such circumstances by 4:30 p.m., New York City time, on the related P&I Advance Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the portion of any P&I Advance equal to the CREFC® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fee for the related Mortgage Loans and any REO Mortgage Loans shall not be remitted to the Certificate Administrator for deposit into the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account but shall be deposited into the Collection Account for payment to CREFC® on such Distribution Date.

 

-278-
 

 

(b)       Subject to Section 4.03(c) and Section 4.03(e) below, the amount of P&I Advances to be made by the Master Servicer with respect to any Distribution Date and all Mortgage Loans and REO Mortgage Loans, shall be equal to: (i) the Periodic Payments (net of related Servicing Fees and, in the case of any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, a fee accruing at the related Non-Serviced Primary Servicing Fee Rate) other than Balloon Payments, 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 delinquent as of the close of business on the Business Day preceding the related P&I Advance Date (or not advanced by any Sub-Servicer on behalf of the Master Servicer) and (ii) with respect to each Mortgage Loan delinquent in respect of its Balloon Payment as of the close of business on the Business Day preceding the related 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 related Balloon Payment would have been past due), an amount equal to the Assumed Scheduled Payment (net of any collections of previously unadvanced principal and interest (adjusted to the related Net Mortgage Rate) received with respect to such Mortgage Loan or REO Loan, as applicable, during the related Collection Period) therefor. Subject to subsection (c) below, the obligation of the Master Servicer to make such P&I Advances is mandatory, and with respect to 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), shall continue until the Distribution Date on which the proceeds, if any, received in connection with a Liquidation Event or the disposition of the REO Property, as the case may be, with respect thereto are to be distributed. No P&I Advances shall be made with respect to any Companion Loan.

 

(c)          Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no P&I Advance shall be required to be made hereunder if such P&I Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance. With respect to each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer will be required to make its determination (based on information provided by the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer and Non-Serviced Special Servicer) that it has made a P&I Advance on such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan that is a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance with respect to such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan independently of any determination made by the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer or the applicable Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as the case may be, under the applicable Non-Serviced PSA in respect of the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan. If the Master Servicer or Special Servicer determines that a proposed P&I Advance with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, if made, or any outstanding P&I Advance with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan previously made, would be, or is, as applicable, a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Master Servicer shall provide the applicable Non-Serviced Master Servicer and Non-Serviced Special Servicer written notice of such determination within two (2) Business Days of the date of such determination. If the Master Servicer receives written notice from the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer or the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as the case may be, that either has determined in accordance with the applicable Non-Serviced PSA with respect to a Non-Serviced Companion Loan, that any proposed advance under the applicable Non-Serviced PSA that is similar to a P&I Advance would be, or any outstanding advance under such Non-Serviced PSA that is similar to a P&I Advance is, a nonrecoverable advance, then the Master Servicer or the Trustee may, based upon such determination, determine that any P&I Advance previously made or proposed to be made with respect to the related

 

-279-
 

 

Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, will be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance. Thereafter, in either case, the Master Servicer shall not be required to make any additional P&I Advances with respect to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan unless and until the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, determines that any such additional P&I Advances with respect to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan would not be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, which determination may be as a result of consultation with the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer or the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as the case may be, or otherwise.

 

(d)       In connection with the recovery of any P&I Advance out of the Collection Account, pursuant to Section 3.05(a), the Master Servicer shall be entitled to pay the Trustee and itself (in that order of priority) as the case may be, out of any amounts then on deposit in the Collection Account (but in no event from any funds allocable to a Serviced Companion Noteholder (unless related thereto), except to the extent permitted pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement), interest at the Reimbursement Rate in effect from time to time, accrued on the amount of such P&I Advance from the date made to but not including the date of reimbursement; provided, however, that no interest will accrue on any P&I Advance (i) made with respect to a Mortgage Loan until after the related Due Date has passed and any applicable Grace Period has expired or (ii) if the related Periodic Payment is received after the Determination Date but on or prior to the related P&I Advance Date. The Master Servicer shall reimburse itself and/or the Trustee, as the case may be, for any outstanding P&I Advance, subject to Section 3.17 of this Agreement, as soon as practicably possible after funds available for such purpose are deposited in the Collection Account.

 

(e)       Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall make an advance for Excess Interest, Yield Maintenance Charges, Default Interest, late payment charges, prepayment premiums, Balloon Payment or any P&I Advance with respect to any Companion Loan and (ii) if an Appraisal Reduction Amount has been determined to exist with respect to any Mortgage Loan (or, in the case of a Non-Serviced Whole Loan, an Appraisal Reduction Amount has been made in accordance with the related Non-Serviced PSA and the Master Servicer has notice of such Appraisal Reduction Amount) then in the event of subsequent delinquencies thereon, the interest portion of the P&I Advance in respect of such Mortgage Loan for the related Distribution Date shall be reduced (it being herein acknowledged that there shall be no reduction in the principal portion of such P&I Advance) to equal the product of (x) the amount of the interest portion of such P&I Advance for such Mortgage Loan for such Distribution Date without regard to this clause (ii), and (y) a fraction, expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which is equal to the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan immediately prior to such Distribution Date, net of the related Appraisal Reduction Amount (or, in the case of a Serviced 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 such Mortgage Loan immediately prior to such Distribution Date. For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, the Periodic Payment due on the Maturity Date for a Balloon Mortgage Loan will be the Assumed Scheduled Payment for the related Distribution Date.

Section 4.04          Allocation of Realized Losses. (a)  On each Distribution Date, immediately following the distributions to be made on such date pursuant to Section 4.01, the Certificate Administrator shall calculate the amount, if any, by which (i) the aggregate Stated Principal Balance (for purposes of this calculation only, not giving effect to any reductions of the Stated Principal Balance for payments of principal collected on the Mortgage Loans that were used to reimburse any Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(v) to the extent such Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts are not otherwise determined to be Nonrecoverable Advances) of the Mortgage Loans and any REO Loans (excluding any portion allocable to any related Companion Loan, if applicable) expected to be outstanding immediately following such Distribution Date, is less than (ii) the then aggregate Certificate Balance of the Principal Balance Certificates after giving effect to distributions of principal on such Distribution Date (any such deficit, the “Realized Loss”). Any allocation of Realized Losses to a Class of Regular Certificates shall be made by reducing the Certificate Balance thereof by the amount so allocated. Any Realized Losses so allocated to a Class of Regular Certificates shall be allocated among the respective Certificates of such Class in proportion to the Percentage Interests evidenced thereby. The allocation of Realized Losses shall constitute an allocation of losses and other shortfalls experienced by the Trust. 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 any such reimbursement is made. With respect to any Class of Principal Balance Certificates, to the extent any Nonrecoverable Advances (plus interest thereon) that were reimbursed from principal collections on the Mortgage Loans and previously resulted in a reduction of the Principal Distribution Amount are subsequently recovered on the related Mortgage Loan, the amount of such recovery will be added to the Certificate Balance of the Class or Classes of Principal Balance Certificates that previously were allocated Realized Losses, in sequential order, in each case up to the amount of the unreimbursed Realized Losses allocated to such Class of Principal Balance Certificates.

 

(b)       On each Distribution Date, the Certificate Balance of any Class of Principal Balance Certificates will be reduced without distribution, as a write-off to the extent of any Realized Losses, if any, allocable to such Class of Certificates with respect to such Distribution Date. The Realized Loss, if any, for a Distribution Date shall be allocated first, to the Class NR Certificates, second, to the Class F Certificates, third, to the Class E Certificates, fourth, to the Class D Certificates, fifth, to the Class C Certificates, sixth, to the Class B Certificates; seventh, to the Class A-S Certificates and then, pro rata (based on their respective Certificate Balances), to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5 and Class A-SB Certificates, in each case until the remaining Certificate Balances of such Classes of Certificates have been reduced to zero.

 

(c)       With respect to any Distribution Date, any Realized Losses allocated to a Class of Principal Balance Certificates pursuant to Section 4.04(a) or Section 4.04(b), respectively, with respect to such Distribution Date shall reduce the Lower-Tier Principal Amount of the Related Lower-Tier Regular Interest with respect thereto as a write-off.

 

Section 4.05          Appraisal Reduction Amounts.     (a)  For purposes of (x) determining the Non-Reduced Certificates and the Controlling Class (and whether a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing) and (y) determining the Voting Rights of the

 

-281-
 

 

related Classes for purposes of removal of the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, Appraisal Reduction Amounts (with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, to the extent allocated to the related Mortgage Loan) will be allocated to the respective Classes of Principal Balance Certificates in reverse sequential order to notionally reduce the related Certificate Balances until the Certificate Balance of each such Class is reduced to zero (i.e., first, to Class NR Certificates, second, to the Class F Certificates, third, to the Class E Certificates, fourth, to the Class D Certificates, fifth, to the Class C Certificates, sixth, to the Class B Certificates, seventh, to the Class A-S Certificates and finally, pro rata based on their respective Certificate Balances, to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5 and Class A-SB Certificates). Following receipt from the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer shall notify the Certificate Administrator of the amount of any Appraisal Reduction Amount with respect to each Mortgage Loan (which notification may be satisfied through delivery of such information included in the CREFC® Loan Periodic Update File or the CREFC® Appraisal Reduction Amount Template included in the CREFC® Investor Reporting Package). Based on information in its possession, the Certificate Administrator shall determine from time to time which Class of Certificates is the Controlling Class. The Certificate Administrator shall provide notice of the identity of the Controlling Class as set forth in Section 3.23(m). With respect to any Appraisal Reduction Amount calculated for purposes of determining the Non-Reduced Certificates and the Controlling Class, the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property will be determined on an “as-is” basis.

 

   (b)         (i)  The Holders of the majority of Voting Rights of any Class of Control Eligible Certificates that is determined at any time of determination to no longer be the Controlling Class (any such Class, an “Appraised-Out Class”) as a result of an Appraisal Reduction Amount in respect of such Class shall have the right, at their sole expense, to require the Special Servicer to order a second Appraisal with respect to any Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole Loan) for which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred (such Holders, the “Requesting Holders”). The Special Servicer shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that such second Appraisal is delivered within thirty (30) days from receipt of the Requesting Holders’ written request and shall ensure that such Appraisal is prepared on an “as-is” basis by an MAI appraiser (provided that such MAI appraiser may not be the same MAI appraiser that provided the Appraisal in respect of which the Requesting Holders are requesting the Special Servicer to obtain an additional Appraisal).

 

(ii)        Upon receipt of any supplemental Appraisal pursuant to clause (i) above, the Special Servicer shall determine, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, whether, based on its assessment of such supplemental Appraisal, any recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount is warranted, and if so warranted, the Special Servicer shall recalculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount based on such supplemental appraisal. If required by such recalculation, the Appraised-Out Class shall be reinstated as the Controlling Class and each other Appraised-Out Class shall, if applicable, have its related Certificate Balance notionally restored to the extent required by such recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount. The Holders of an Appraised-Out Class requesting any supplemental Appraisal pursuant to clause (i) above shall refrain from exercising any direction, control, consent and/or similar rights of the Controlling Class until such time, if any, as the Class is reinstated as the Controlling Class (such period beginning upon receipt by the Special Servicer of any request to obtain a supplemental Appraisal

 

-282-
 

 

pursuant to clause (i) above to but excluding the date on which either (A) the Special Servicer determines that no recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount is warranted or (B) the Special Servicer recalculates the Appraisal Reduction Amount based on the supplemental Appraisal, the “Appraisal Review Period”). The rights of the Controlling Class during each Appraisal Review Period shall be exercised by the most senior Class of Control Eligible Certificates, if any.

 

(c)       With respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and each Serviced Whole Loan as to which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred (unless such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan has remained current for three consecutive Periodic Payments, and with respect to which no other Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred with respect to that Mortgage Loan during the preceding three months (for such purposes taking into account any amendment or modification of such Mortgage Loan, any related Companion Loan or Serviced Whole Loan)), the Special Servicer shall (1) within thirty (30) days of each anniversary of the related Appraisal Reduction Event, and (2) upon its determination that the value of the related Mortgaged Property has materially changed, notify the Master Servicer of the occurrence of such anniversary or determination and order an Appraisal (which may be an update of a prior Appraisal), the cost of which shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance or to the extent it would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, an expense of the Trust, or conduct an internal valuation, as applicable and, promptly following receipt of any such Appraisal or performance of such valuation (or receipt of any Appraisal obtained in accordance with Section 4.05(b) above), shall deliver a copy thereof to the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor and (i) prior to the occurrence of any Consultation Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan, the Directing Certificateholder. Based upon such Appraisal or internal valuation (or any Appraisal obtained in accordance with Section 4.05(b) above) and receipt of information reasonably requested by the Special Servicer from the Master Servicer necessary to calculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount that is either in the Master Servicer’s possession or reasonably obtainable by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer shall determine or redetermine, as applicable, and report to the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor and, ((i) prior to the occurrence of any Consultation Termination Event and (ii) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan), the Directing Certificateholder, the amount and calculation or recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount with respect to such Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable, and such report shall be delivered in the CREFC® Appraisal Reduction Amount Template format; provided, however, that the Special Servicer shall not be liable for failure to comply with such duties insofar as such failure results from a failure of the Master Servicer to provide sufficient information to the Special Servicer to comply with such duties or failure by the Master Servicer to otherwise comply with its obligations hereunder. Such report shall 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 Companion Loan has been included in an Other Securitization, to the Other Servicer of such Other Securitization into which the related Serviced Companion Loan has been sold, or to the holder of any related Serviced Companion Loan by the Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer if the related Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan). If the Special Servicer is required to redetermine the Appraisal Reduction Amount, such redetermined Appraisal Reduction Amount shall replace the prior Appraisal Reduction Amount with respect to such Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable. Prior to the

 

-283-
 

 

occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event and other than with respect to any Excluded Loan, the Special Servicer shall consult with the Directing Certificateholder with respect to any Appraisal, valuation or downward adjustment in connection with an Appraisal Reduction Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to Section 4.05(b), the Special Servicer will not be required to obtain an Appraisal or conduct an internal valuation, as applicable, with respect to a Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan or Serviced Whole Loan as to which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred to the extent the Special Servicer has obtained an Appraisal or conducted such a valuation (in accordance with requirements of this Agreement), as applicable, with respect to the related Mortgaged Property within the nine-month period immediately prior to the occurrence of such Appraisal Reduction Event. Instead, the Special Servicer may use such prior Appraisal or valuation, as applicable, in calculating any Appraisal Reduction Amount with respect to such Mortgage Loan or related Companion Loan or Serviced Whole Loan; provided that the Special Servicer is not aware of any material change to the related Mortgaged Property having occurred and affecting the validity of such Appraisal or valuation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no new or updated Appraisal shall be required if the Mortgage Loan, Serviced Whole Loan or REO Property is under contract to be sold within ninety (90) days of such Appraisal Reduction Event or anniversary thereof and the Special Servicer reasonably believes such sale is likely to close.

 

The Master Servicer shall deliver by electronic mail to the Special Servicer any information in its possession that is reasonably required to determine, calculate, redetermine or recalculate any Appraisal Reduction Amount, using reasonable efforts to deliver such information, within four (4) Business Days following the Special Servicer’s reasonable request therefor (which request shall be made promptly, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days, after the Special Servicer’s receipt of the applicable Appraisal or preparation of the applicable internal valuation); provided, the Special Servicer’s failure to timely make such request shall not relieve the Master Servicer of its obligation to use reasonable efforts to provide such information to the Special Servicer within four (4) Business Days following the Special Servicer’s reasonable request.

 

(d)       Any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), any related Serviced Companion Loan and any Serviced Whole Loan previously subject to an Appraisal Reduction Amount, which has become a Corrected Loan (for such purposes taking into account any amendment or modification of such Mortgage Loan, any related Serviced Companion Loan and any Serviced Whole Loan), and with respect to which no other Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred and is continuing, will no longer be subject to an Appraisal Reduction Amount. Any Appraisal Reduction Amount in respect of a Non-Serviced Whole Loan shall be calculated by the applicable party under and in accordance with and pursuant to the terms of the applicable Non-Serviced PSA.

 

(e)       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 Loan(s) that comprise such Serviced Whole Loan. Any Appraisal Reduction Amount in respect of a Serviced AB Whole Loan will be allocated in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement or, if no allocation is specified in the related Intercreditor Agreement, then, first, to the related AB Subordinate Companion Loan (until its principal balance is notionally reduced to zero by such Appraisal Reduction Amounts) and second, to the related AB

 

-284-
 

 

Mortgage Loan. Any Appraisal Reduction Amount in respect of any Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan will be allocated in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement or, if no allocation is specified in the related Intercreditor Agreement, then, pro rata, between the related Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan and the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, based upon their respective Stated Principal Balances.

 

Section 4.06          Grantor Trust Reporting.  (a)  The parties intend that the portion of the Trust Fund constituting the Grantor Trust shall constitute, and that the affairs of the Grantor Trust shall be conducted so as to qualify such portion as, a “grantor trust” under subpart E, part I of subchapter J of the Code, and the provisions hereof shall be interpreted consistently with this intention. In furtherance of such intention, neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall have the power to vary the investment of the Holders of the Class Z Certificates in the Grantor Trust so as to improve their rate of return. The Certificate Administrator shall prepare or cause to be prepared, submit to the Trustee for execution (and the Trustee shall timely execute and timely return to the Certificate Administrator) and timely file all Tax Returns in respect of the Grantor Trust. In addition, the Certificate Administrator shall (A) file, or cause to be filed, Internal Revenue Service Form 1041 (or, in the event the Grantor Trust is a WHFIT, Form 1099) or such other form as may be applicable with the Internal Revenue Service with copies of the statements in the following clause and (B) furnish, or cause to be furnished, to the Holders of the Class Z Certificates, their allocable share of income and expense with respect to the Excess Interest and Excess Interest Distribution Account in the time or times and in the manner required by the Code.

 

(b)       If the Certificate Administrator receives notice that any Class Z Certificate is held through a “middleman” as defined by the WHFIT Regulations, then the Grantor Trust will be treated as a WHFIT that is a WHMT. In such event, the Certificate Administrator will report as required under the WHFIT Regulations to the extent such information as is reasonably necessary to enable the Certificate Administrator to do so is provided to the Certificate Administrator on a timely basis. The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to rely on its receipt of notice in the first sentence of this Section 4.06(b) and shall be entitled to indemnification in accordance with the terms of this Agreement in the event that the Internal Revenue Service makes a determination that any notice received pursuant to the first sentence of this paragraph is incorrect. As of the Closing Date, no Class Z Certificate is held through a middleman.

 

(c)       The Certificate Administrator shall report required WHFIT information using the accrual method, except to the extent the WHFIT Regulations specifically require a different method. The Certificate Administrator shall be under no obligation to determine whether any Certificateholder uses the cash or accrual method. The Certificate Administrator shall make available (via its website) WHFIT information to Certificateholders annually. In addition, the Certificate Administrator shall not be responsible or liable for providing subsequently amended, revised or updated information to any Certificateholder, unless requested by the Certificateholder.

 

(d)       The Certificate Administrator shall not be liable for failure to meet the reporting requirements of the WHFIT Regulations nor for any penalties thereunder if such failure is due to: (i) the lack of reasonably necessary information being provided to the Certificate

 

-285-
 

 

Administrator or (ii) incomplete, inaccurate or untimely information being provided to the Certificate Administrator. Each Holder of Class Z Certificate, by acceptance of its interest in such class of securities, will be deemed to have agreed to provide the Certificate Administrator with information regarding any sale of such securities, including the price, amount of proceeds and date of sale. Absent receipt of information regarding any sale of Class Z Certificates, including the price, amount of proceeds and date of sale from the beneficial owner thereof or the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator shall assume there is no secondary market trading of WHFIT interests.

 

(e)       To the extent required by the WHFIT Regulations, the Certificate Administrator shall use reasonable efforts to publish on an appropriate website the CUSIP for the Class Z Certificates. The CUSIP so published will represent the Rule 144A CUSIP. The Certificate Administrator shall make reasonable good faith efforts to keep the website accurate and updated to the extent such CUSIP has been received. Absent the receipt of such CUSIP, the Certificate Administrator will use a reasonable identifier number in lieu of a CUSIP. The Certificate Administrator shall not be liable for investor reporting delays that result from the receipt of inaccurate or untimely CUSIP information.

 

Section 4.07          Investor Q&A Forum; Investor Registry; and Rating Agency Q&A Forum and Document Request Tool.  (a)  The Certificate Administrator shall make available, only to Privileged Persons, the Investor Q&A Forum. The “Investor Q&A Forum” shall be a service available on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, where (i) Certificateholders and beneficial owners of Certificates that are Privileged Persons may submit questions to (A) the Certificate Administrator relating to the Statement to Certificateholders, (B) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, relating to the reports being made available pursuant to Section 3.13(b), the Mortgage Loans (excluding any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or the related Mortgaged Properties or (C) the Operating Advisor relating to the Operating Advisor Annual Report or other reports prepared by the Operating Advisor or actions by the Special Servicer referenced in any Operating Advisor Annual Report (each an “Inquiry” and collectively, “Inquiries”), and (ii) Privileged Persons may view Inquiries that have been previously submitted and answered, together with the answers thereto. Upon receipt of an Inquiry for the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, Certificate Administrator or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, and in the case of any Inquiry relating to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer or related Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as applicable, the Certificate Administrator shall forward the Inquiry to the appropriate person (in the case of the Master Servicer to the following: REAM_InvestorRelations@wellsfargo.com), in each case within a commercially reasonable period of time following receipt thereof. Following receipt of an Inquiry, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, unless such party determines not to answer such Inquiry as provided below, shall reply to the Inquiry, which reply of the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, shall be delivered to the Certificate Administrator by electronic mail. In the case of an Inquiry relating to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Certificate Administrator shall make reasonable efforts to obtain an answer from the related Non-Serviced Master Servicer or the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer, as applicable; provided that the Certificate Administrator shall not be responsible for the content of such answer or any delay or failure to obtain such answer. The Certificate Administrator shall post (within a commercially reasonable period of

time following preparation or receipt of such answer, as the case may be) such Inquiry and the related answer to the Certificate Administrator’s Website. If the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor determines, in its respective sole discretion, that (i) any Inquiry is beyond the scope of the topics described above, (ii) answering any Inquiry would not be in the best interests of the Trust and/or the Certificateholders, (iii) answering any Inquiry would be in violation of applicable law, the applicable Mortgage Loan documents or this Agreement, (iv) answering any Inquiry would materially increase the duties of, or result in significant additional cost or expense to, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, (v) answering any Inquiry would require the disclosure of Privileged Information (subject to the Privileged Information Exception, or (vi) answering any Inquiry is otherwise, for any reason, not advisable, it shall not be required to answer such Inquiry and, in the case of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, shall promptly notify the Certificate Administrator of such determination. In addition, no party shall post or otherwise disclose any direct communications with the Directing Certificateholder as part of its response to any Inquiries. The Certificate Administrator shall notify the Person who submitted such Inquiry in the event that the Inquiry will not be answered. Any notice by the Certificate Administrator to the Person who submitted an Inquiry that will not be answered shall include the following statement: “Because the Pooling and Servicing Agreement provides that the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Operating Advisor shall not answer an Inquiry if it determines, in its respective sole discretion, that (i) any Inquiry is beyond the scope of the topics described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, (ii) answering any Inquiry would not be in the best interests of the Trust and/or the Certificateholders, (iii) answering any Inquiry would be in violation of applicable law or the applicable Mortgage Loan documents, (iv) answering any Inquiry would materially increase the duties of, or result in significant additional costs or expenses to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or Operating Advisor, as applicable, (v) answering any Inquiry would require the disclosure of Privileged Information, or (vi) answering any Inquiry is otherwise, for any reason, not advisable, no inference should or may be drawn from the fact that the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Operating Advisor has declined to answer the Inquiry.” Answers posted on the Investor Q&A Forum will be attributable only to the respondent, and shall not be deemed to be answers from any of the Depositor, the Underwriters or any of their respective Affiliates. None of the Underwriters, Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Operating Advisor or any of their respective Affiliates will certify to any of the information posted in the Investor Q&A Forum and no such party shall have any responsibility or liability for the content of any such information. The Certificate Administrator shall not be required to post to the Certificate Administrator’s Website any Inquiry or answer thereto that the Certificate Administrator determines, in its sole discretion, is administrative or ministerial in nature. The Investor Q&A Forum will not reflect questions, answers and other communications that are not submitted via the Certificate Administrator’s Website. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Operating Advisor shall not be required to respond to any Inquiries from Certificateholders for which its response would require the Operating Advisor to provide information to such inquiring Certificateholders that they are otherwise not entitled to receive under the terms of this Agreement.

 

(b)       The Certificate Administrator shall make available to any Certificateholder and any Certificate Owner that is a Privileged Person, the Investor Registry.

 

-287-
 

 

The “Investor Registry” shall be a voluntary service available on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, where Certificateholders and Certificate Owners that are Privileged Persons can register and thereafter obtain information with respect to any other Certificateholder or Certificate Owner that has so registered. Any person registering to use the Investor Registry will be required to certify that (a) it is a Certificateholder or a Certificate Owner and a Privileged Person and (b) it grants authorization to the Certificate Administrator to make its name and contact information available on the Investor Registry for at least forty-five (45) days from the date of such certification to persons entitled to access to the Investor Registry. Such Person shall then be asked to enter certain mandatory fields such as the individual’s name, the company name and email address, as well as certain optional fields such as address, phone, and Class(es) of Certificates owned. If any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner notifies the Certificate Administrator that it wishes to be removed from the Investor Registry (which notice may not be within forty-five (45) days of its registration), the Certificate Administrator shall promptly remove it from the Investor Registry. The Certificate Administrator will not be responsible for verifying or validating any information submitted on the Investor Registry, or for monitoring or otherwise maintaining the accuracy of any information thereon. The Certificate Administrator may require acceptance of a waiver and disclaimer for access to the Investor Registry.

 

(c)       The 17g-5 Information Provider shall make available, only to NRSROs, the Rating Agency Q&A Forum and Document Request Tool. The “Rating Agency Q&A Forum and Document Request Tool” shall be a service available on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website, where NRSROs may (i) submit questions to the Certificate Administrator relating to any Statements to Certificateholders, or submit questions to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, relating to the reports prepared by such parties (each such submission, a “Rating Agency Inquiry”), and (ii) view Rating Agency Inquiries that have been previously submitted and answered, together with the responses thereto. In addition, NRSROs may use the forum to submit requests (each such submission also, a “Rating Agency Inquiry”) to the Master Servicer for loan-level reports and other related information. Upon receipt of a Rating Agency Inquiry for the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, the 17g-5 Information Provider shall forward the Rating Agency Inquiry to the appropriate person (in the case of the Master Servicer to the following: RAInvRequests@wellsfargo.com), in each case within a commercially reasonable period of time following receipt thereof.

Any reports posted by the 17g-5 Information Provider in response to an inquiry may be posted on a separate website or web page accessible by a link on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website. If the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer determines, in its respective sole discretion, that (i) answering any Rating Agency Inquiry would be in violation of applicable law, the Servicing Standard, this Agreement or any Mortgage Loan documents, (ii) answering any Rating Agency Inquiry would or is reasonably expected to result in a waiver of an attorney-client privilege with, or the disclosure of attorney work product, or (iii) (A) answering any Rating Agency Inquiry would materially increase the duties of, or result in significant additional cost or expense to, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as

 

-288-
 

 

applicable, and (B) the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard (or in good faith, in the case of the Certificate Administrator) that the performance of such duties or the payment of such costs and expenses is beyond the scope of its duties in its capacity as Certificate Administrator, Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, under this Agreement, it shall not be required to answer such Rating Agency Inquiry and shall promptly notify the 17g-5 Information Provider by email of such determination. The 17g-5 Information Provider shall promptly thereafter post the Rating Agency Inquiry with the reason it was not answered to the Rating Agency Q&A Forum and Document Request Tool. The 17g-5 Information Provider will not be liable for the failure by any other such Person to so answer. Questions posted on the Rating Agency Q&A Forum and Document Request Tool shall not be attributed to the submitting NRSRO.

Section 4.08          Secure Data Room.  (a)       The Certificate Administrator shall create a Secure Data Room within 120 days following the Closing Date. The Depositor shall upon the receipt of each Mortgage Loan Seller’s Diligence File Certificate, deliver to the Certificate Administrator within 120 days following the Closing Date, an electronic copy of the Diligence Files for the Mortgage Loans that have been uploaded by the Mortgage Loan Sellers to the Designated Site. Upon receipt thereof, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly upload the contents of each Diligence File actually received by it to the Secure Data Room. Access to the Secure Data Room shall be granted by the Certificate Administrator to (i) the Asset Representations Reviewer and (ii) provided that the Certificate Administrator has received the Diligence File Certificate from each Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to Section 2.01(h), any other Person at the direction of the Depositor, in each case, upon the occurrence of an Affirmative Asset Review Vote and receipt by the Certificate Administrator of a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit RR hereto (which shall be sent via email to trustadministrationgroup@wellsfargo.com or submitted electronically via the Certificate Administrator’s website). In no case whatsoever shall Certificateholders be permitted to access the Secure Data Room.

(b)       The Certificate Administrator shall not have any obligation or duty to verify, review, confirm or otherwise determine whether the type, number or contents of any Diligence File delivered to the Certificate Administrator is accurate, complete, or relates to the transaction or confirm that all documents and information constituting any Diligence File have actually been delivered to the Certificate Administrator. In no case shall the Certificate Administrator be deemed to have obtained actual or constructive knowledge of the contents of,

 

-289-
 

 

or information contained in, any Diligence File by virtue of posting such Diligence File to the Secure Data Room. In the event that any document or information is posted in error, the Certificate Administrator may remove such document or information from the Secure Data Room. The Certificate Administrator shall not have any obligation to produce physical or electronic copies of any document or information provided to it for posting to the Secure Data Room. The Certificate Administrator shall not be responsible or held liable for any other Person’s use or dissemination of the documents or information contained on the Secure Data Room; provided that such event or occurrence is not also a result of its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

(c)          Upon the resignation or removal of the Certificate Administrator pursuant to Section 8.07, the Certificate Administrator shall transfer electronic copies of the Diligence Files to a successor certificate administrator designated in writing by the Depositor or the Master Servicer, and all costs and expenses associated with the transfer of the Diligence Files shall be payable as part of the costs and expenses associated with the transfer of its responsibilities upon the resignation or removal of the Certificate Administrator pursuant to Section 8.07. Following the date on which any Mortgage Loan is paid in full, liquidated, repurchased or otherwise removed from the Trust, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may direct the Certificate Administrator in writing to delete the Diligence File related to such Mortgage Loan from the Secure Data Room; provided that absent such direction, the Certificate Administrator shall not be obligated to delete any Diligence File from the Secure Data Room. Following the termination of the Trust pursuant to Section 9.01, the Certificate Administrator shall be permitted to delete all files from the Secure Data Room.

A Certificate shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Certificate Registrar (who may be the same officer who executed the Certificate) manually countersigns the Certificate. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Certificate has been executed and countersigned under this Agreement.

 

Section 5.02          Form and Registration. No transfer of any Non-Registered Certificate shall be made unless that transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, and effective registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction which does not require such registration or qualification.

After the expiration of the Restricted Period, a beneficial interest in a Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate may be exchanged for an interest in the related Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate in the applicable form set forth as an exhibit hereto in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 5.03(f). During the Restricted Period, distributions due in respect of a beneficial interest in a Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate shall only be made upon delivery to the Certificate Registrar by Euroclear or Clearstream, as applicable, of a Non-U.S. Beneficial Ownership Certification. After the expiration of the Restricted Period, distributions

due in respect of any beneficial interests in a Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate shall not be made to the holders of such beneficial interests unless exchange for a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate of the same Class is improperly withheld or refused. The aggregate Certificate Balance of a Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate or a Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for the Depository, as hereinafter provided.

 

On the Closing Date, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate, and the Certificate Administrator shall deliver to the Certificate Registrar the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificates, which shall be held by the Certificate Registrar for purposes of effecting the exchanges contemplated by the preceding paragraph.

If the Authenticating Agent is terminated, the Trustee shall appoint a successor authenticating agent, which may be the Trustee or an Affiliate thereof.

 

(b)       Certificates of each Class of Non-Registered Certificates offered and sold to Qualified Institutional Buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Act (“Rule 144A”) shall be represented by Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificates, which shall be deposited with the Certificate Registrar or an agent of the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for the Depository, and registered in the name of the Depository or a nominee of the Depository. The aggregate Certificate Balance of a Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for the Depository, as hereinafter provided.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Class R Certificates shall only be in the form of Definitive Certificates.

 

(d)       Owners of beneficial interests in Book-Entry Certificates of any Class shall not be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificated Certificates unless: (i) the Depository advises the Certificate Registrar in writing that the Depository 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 Registrar and the Depository are unable to locate a qualified successor within ninety (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 the Holders of such Class and the Trustee has been advised by counsel that in connection with such proceeding it is necessary or appropriate for the Certificate Registrar to

 

-292-
 

 

obtain possession of the Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that under no circumstances will certificated Non-Registered Certificates be issued to beneficial owners of a Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate. Upon notice of the occurrence of any of the events described in clause (i) or (ii) above with respect to any Certificates of a Class that are in the form of Book-Entry Certificates and upon surrender by the Depository of any Book-Entry Certificate of such Class and receipt from the Depository of instructions for re-registration, the Certificate Registrar shall issue Certificates of such Class in the form of Definitive Certificates (bearing, in the case of a Definitive Certificate issued for a Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate, the same legends regarding transfer restrictions borne by such Book-Entry Certificate), and thereafter the Certificate Registrar shall recognize the Holders of such Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders under this Agreement. Unless and until Definitive Certificates are issued in respect of a Class of Book-Entry Certificates, beneficial ownership interests in such Class of Certificates will be maintained and transferred on the book entry records of the Depository and Depository Participants, and all references to actions by Holders of such Class of Certificates will refer to action taken by the Depository upon instructions received from the related registered Holders of Certificates through the Depository Participants in accordance with the Depository’s procedures and, except as otherwise set forth herein, all references herein to payments, notices, reports and statements to Holders of such Class of Certificates will refer to payments, notices, reports and statements to the Depository or its nominee as the registered Holder thereof, for distribution to the related registered Holders of Certificates through the Depository Participants in accordance with the Depository’s procedures.

Upon any exchange of interests in the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate for interests in the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall endorse the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate to reflect the reduction in the Certificate Balance represented thereby by the amount so exchanged and shall endorse the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate to reflect the corresponding increase in the amount represented thereby. Until so exchanged in full and except as provided therein, the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate, and the Certificates evidenced thereby, shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate and Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate authenticated and delivered hereunder.

 

(g)       Non-Book Entry Certificate to Book-Entry Certificate. If a holder of a Non-Book Entry Certificate (other than a Class R Certificate) wishes at any time to exchange its interest in such Non-Book Entry Certificate for an interest in a Book-Entry Certificate of the same Class, or to transfer all or part of such Non-Book Entry Certificate to a Person who is entitled to take delivery thereof in the form of an interest in a Book-Entry Certificate, such holder may, subject to the rules and procedures of Euroclear or Clearstream, if applicable, and the Depository, cause the exchange of all or part of such Non-Book Entry Certificate for an equivalent beneficial interest in the appropriate Book-Entry Certificate of the same Class.

-296-
 

 

Exhibit N hereto (in the event that the applicable Book-Entry Certificate is the Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate) or in the form of Exhibit O hereto (in the event that the applicable Book-Entry Certificate is the Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate), then the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, shall cancel, or cause to be canceled, all or part of such Non-Book Entry Certificate, shall, if applicable, execute, authenticate and deliver to the transferor a new Non-Book Entry Certificate equal to the aggregate Certificate Balance of the portion retained by such transferor and shall instruct the Depository to increase, or cause to be increased, such Book-Entry Certificate by the aggregate Certificate Balance of the portion of the Non-Book Entry Certificate to be exchanged and to credit, or cause to be credited, to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the applicable Book-Entry Certificate equal to the Certificate Balance of the portion of the Non-Book Entry Certificate so canceled. Upon the written direction of the Depositor (which may be by email to cts.cmbs.bond.admin@wellsfargo.com) or its Affiliate, the Certificate Registrar shall execute any instrument as may be reasonably required by the Depository to effect such exchange.

 

(h)          Non-Book Entry Certificates on Initial Issuance Only. Subject to the issuance of Definitive Certificates, if and when permitted by Section 5.02(d), no Non-Book Entry Certificate shall be issued to a transferee of an interest in any Rule 144A Book-Entry Certificate, Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate or Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate or to a transferee of a Non-Book Entry Certificate (or any portion thereof).

 

(i)          Other Exchanges. In the event that a Book-Entry Certificate is exchanged for a Definitive Certificate, such Certificates may be exchanged only in accordance with such procedures as are substantially consistent with the provisions of subsections (c) through (f) above (including the certification requirements intended to ensure that such transfers comply with Rule 144A or Regulation S under the Act, at the case may be) and such other procedures as may from time to time be adopted by the Certificate Registrar.

 

(j)          Restricted Period. Prior to the termination of the Restricted Period with respect to the issuance of the Certificates, transfers of interests in the Temporary Regulation S Book-Entry Certificate to U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S) shall be limited to transfers made pursuant to the provisions of subsection (e) above.

 

(k)          If Non-Registered Certificates are issued upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Certificates bearing a restrictive legend relating to compliance with the Act, or if a request is made to remove such legend on Certificates, the Non-Registered Certificates so issued shall bear the restrictive legend, or such legend shall not be removed, as the case may be, unless there is delivered to the Certificate Registrar such satisfactory evidence, which may include an Opinion of Counsel that neither such legend nor the restrictions on transfer set forth therein are required to ensure that transfers thereof comply with the provisions of Rule 144A or Regulation S under the Act. Upon provision of such satisfactory evidence, the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver Certificates that do not bear such legend.

(m)          With respect to the ERISA Restricted Certificates, no sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition (other than any initial transfer to the Initial Purchasers) of any such Certificate shall be made unless the Trustee and Certificate Administrator shall have received either (i) a representation letter from the proposed purchaser or transferee of such Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1 attached hereto, to the effect that such proposed purchaser or transferee is not (A) an employee benefit plan subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA or a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code, or a governmental plan (as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA), a church plan (as defined in Section 3(33) of ERISA) for which no election has been made under Section 410(d) of the Code or any other plan subject to any federal, state or local law (“Similar Law”) which is, to a material extent, similar to the foregoing provisions of ERISA or the Code (each, a “Plan”) or (B) a person acting on behalf of or using the assets of any such Plan (including an entity whose underlying assets include Plan assets by reason of investment in the entity by such Plan and the application of Department of Labor Regulation § 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA), other than an insurance company using the assets of its general account under circumstances whereby the purchase and holding of such Certificates by such insurance company would be exempt from the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA and the Code under Sections I and III of Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 95-60 (or, in the case of a Plan subject to Similar Law, would not result in a non-exempt violation of Similar Law) or (ii) if such Certificate which may be held only by a person not described in clauses (A) or (B) above, is presented for registration in the name of a purchaser or transferee that is any of the foregoing, an Opinion of Counsel in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee and Certificate Administrator and the Depositor to the effect that the acquisition and holding of such Certificate by such purchaser or transferee will not constitute or result in a non-exempt “prohibited transaction” within the meaning of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or a non-exempt violation of any Similar Law, and will not subject the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Initial Purchasers, the Underwriters, the Operating Advisor or the Depositor to any obligation or liability (including obligations or liabilities under ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or any such Similar Law) in addition to those set forth in the Agreement. The Trustee and Certificate Administrator shall not register the sale, transfer, pledge or other disposition of any ERISA Restricted Certificate unless the Trustee and Certificate Administrator have received either the representation letter described in clause (i) above or the Opinion of Counsel described in clause (ii) above. The costs of any of the foregoing representation letters or Opinions of Counsel shall not be borne by any of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Initial Purchasers, the Underwriters, the Operating Advisor or the Trust. Each Certificate Owner of an ERISA Restricted Certificate shall be deemed to represent that it is not a Person specified in clauses (i)(A) or (i)(B) above. Any transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of any ERISA Restricted Certificates that would constitute or result in a prohibited transaction under ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code or any Similar Law, or would otherwise violate the provisions of this Section 5.03(m) shall be deemed absolutely null and void ab initio, to the extent permitted under applicable law.

(n)          No Class R or Class Z Certificate may be purchased by or transferred to any prospective purchaser or transferee that is or will be a Plan, or any person acting on behalf of a Plan or using the assets of a Plan (including an entity whose underlying assets include Plan assets by reason of investment in the entity by such Plan and the application of Department of Labor Regulation § 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA) to purchase such Class

Any attempted or purported transfer in violation of these transfer restrictions shall be null and void ab initio and shall vest no rights in any purported transferee and shall not relieve the transferor of any obligations with respect to the applicable Certificates.

Each Person who has or acquires any Residual Ownership Interest shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Residual Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions and the rights of each Person acquiring any Residual Ownership Interest are expressly subject to the following provisions:

(i)          Each Person acquiring or holding any Residual Ownership Interest shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall not acquire or hold such Residual Ownership Interest as agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) on behalf of any Person that is not a Permitted Transferee. Any such Person shall promptly notify the Certificate Registrar of any change or impending change in its status (or the status of the beneficial owner of such Residual Ownership Interest) as a Permitted Transferee. Any acquisition described in the first sentence of this Section 5.03(n) by a Person who is not a Permitted Transferee or by a Person who is acting as an agent of a Person who is not a Permitted Transferee shall be void ab initio and of no effect, and the immediately preceding owner who was a Permitted Transferee shall be restored to registered and beneficial ownership of the Residual Ownership Interest as soon and as fully as possible.

(ii)         No Residual Ownership Interest may be Transferred, and no such Transfer shall be registered in the Certificate Register, without the express written consent of the Certificate Registrar, and the Certificate Registrar shall not recognize the Transfer, and such proposed Transfer shall not be effective, without such consent with respect thereto. In connection with any proposed Transfer of any Residual Ownership Interest, the Certificate Registrar shall, as a condition to such consent, (x) require the proposed transferee to deliver, and the proposed transferee shall deliver to the Certificate Registrar and to the proposed transferor, an affidavit in substantially the form attached as Exhibit D-1 (a “Transferee Affidavit”) of the proposed transferee (A) that such proposed transferee is a Permitted Transferee and (B) stating that (1) the proposed transferee historically has paid its debts as they have come due and intends to do so in the future, (2) the proposed transferee understands that, as the holder of a Residual Ownership Interest, it may incur liabilities in excess of cash flows generated by the residual interest, (3) the proposed transferee intends to pay taxes associated with holding the Residual Ownership Interest as they become due, (4) the proposed transferee will not cause income with respect to the Residual Ownership Interest to be attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty, of such proposed transferee or any other U.S. Tax Person, (5) the proposed transferee will not transfer the Residual Ownership Interest to any Person that does not provide a Transferee Affidavit or as to which the proposed transferee has actual knowledge that such Person is not a Permitted Transferee or is acting as an agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) for a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, and (6) the

-299-
 

proposed transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and to abide by the provisions of this Section 5.03(n) and (y) other than in connection with the initial issuance of a Class R Certificate, require a statement from the proposed transferor substantially in the form attached as Exhibit D-2 (the “Transferor Letter”), that the proposed transferor has no actual knowledge that the proposed transferee is not a Permitted Transferee and has no actual knowledge or reason to know that the proposed transferee’s statements therein are false.

(iii)        Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transferee Affidavit by a proposed transferee under clause (ii) above, if a Responsible Officer of the Certificate Registrar has actual knowledge that the proposed transferee is not a Permitted Transferee, no Transfer to such proposed transferee shall be effected and such proposed Transfer shall not be registered on the Certificate Register; provided, however, the Certificate Registrar shall not be required to conduct any independent investigation to determine whether a proposed transferee is a Permitted Transferee. Upon notice to the Certificate Registrar that there has occurred a Transfer to any Person that is a Disqualified Organization or an agent thereof (including a broker, nominee or middleman) in contravention of the foregoing restrictions, and in any event not later than sixty (60) days after a request for information from the transferor of such Residual Ownership Interest or such agent, the Certificate Registrar agrees to furnish to the Internal Revenue Service and the transferor of such Residual Ownership Interest or such agent such information necessary to the application of Section 860E(e) of the Code as may be required by the Code, including, but not limited to, the present value of the total anticipated excess inclusions with respect to such Class R Certificate (or portion thereof) for periods after such Transfer. At the election of the Certificate Registrar, the Certificate Registrar may charge a reasonable fee for computing and furnishing such information to the transferor or to such agent referred to above; provided, however, that such Persons shall in no event be excused from furnishing such information.

(o)          The Class R Certificates may only be transferred to and owned by Qualified Institutional Buyers.

(p)          Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall comply with all federal withholding requirements respecting payments to Certificateholders and other payees of interest or original issue discount that the Certificate Administrator reasonably believes are applicable under the Code. The consent of Certificateholders or payees shall not be required for such withholding, and the Certificateholders shall be required to provide the Certificate Administrator with such forms and other such information reasonably required by the Certificate Administrator. If the Certificate Administrator does withhold any amount from interest or original issue discount payments or advances thereof to any Certificateholder or payee pursuant to federal withholding requirements, the Certificate Administrator shall indicate the amount withheld to such Person. Such amounts shall be deemed to have been distributed to such Persons for all purposes of this Agreement.

Section 5.04     Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If (a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate Registrar, or the Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and

The Certificate Administrator shall include in any Form 10-D any written request received in accordance with Section 11.04(a) prior to the Distribution Date to which the 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

The Certificate Administrator shall not have any obligation to verify the information provided by any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner in any request to communicate and may rely on such information conclusively. Additionally, any expenses the Certificate Administrator incurs in connection with any request to communicate will be paid by the Trust.

Section 5.09     [Reserved]

Section 5.10     Voting Procedures. With respect to any matters submitted to Certificateholders for a vote, the Certificate Administrator shall administer such vote through the Depository with respect to Book-Entry Certificates and directly with registered Holders by mail with respect to Definitive Certificates. In each case, such vote shall be administered in accordance with the following procedures, unless different procedures are otherwise described herein with respect to a specific vote:

(a)          Any matter submitted to Certificateholders for a vote shall be announced in a notice prepared by the Certificate Administrator. Such notice shall include the record date determined by the Certificate Administrator for purposes of the vote and a voting deadline which shall be no less than thirty (30) days and no later than sixty (60) days after the date such notice is distributed. The notice and related ballot shall be sent to Holders of Book-Entry Certificates through the Depository and by mail to the registered Holders of Definitive Certificates. In addition, the notice and related ballot shall be posted to the Certificate Administrator’s Website. Notices delivered in this manner shall be considered delivered to all Holders regardless of whether any Holder actually receives the notice and ballot.

(b)          In connection with any vote administered pursuant to this Agreement, voting Holders shall be required to certify their holdings in the manner set forth on the ballot, unless a specific manner is otherwise provided herein. Holders may only vote in accordance with their Voting Rights. Voting Rights with respect to any outstanding Class of Certificates shall be calculated by the Certificate Administrator in accordance with the definition of Voting Rights as of the record date for the vote. Only Classes with an outstanding Certificate Balance or Notional Amount greater than zero as of the record date of the vote shall be permitted to vote. Once a Holder has cast its vote, the vote may be changed or retracted on or before the vote

-303-
 

deadline. Any changes or retractions shall be communicated by the Certificateholder to the Certificate Administrator in writing on a ballot. After the vote deadline has passed, votes may not be changed or retracted by any Holder unless the Holder wishing to change or retract its vote holds a sufficient portion of the Voting Rights such that the Holder, by its vote alone, could approve or deny the proposition subject to a vote without taking into consideration the votes cast by any other Holder. Transferees or purchasers of any Class of Certificates are subject to and shall be bound by all votes of Holders initiated or conducted prior to its acquisition of such Certificate.

(c)          The Certificate Administrator may take up to fifteen (15) Business Days to tabulate the results of any vote. The Certificate Administrator shall use its reasonable efforts to resolve any illegible or incomplete ballots received prior to the voting deadline. Illegible or incomplete ballots that are received on the voting deadline or that cannot be resolved by the voting deadline shall not be counted. Promptly after the votes are tabulated, the Certificate Administrator shall prepare a notice announcing the results of the vote. Such notice shall include the percentage of Voting Rights in favor of the proposition, the percentage against the proposition and the percentage abstaining. In addition, the notice will announce whether the proposition has been adopted by Certificateholders. The notice shall be distributed in accordance with the methods described in Section 5.10(a) above. The Certificate Administrator shall also include such notice on the Form 10-D prepared in connection with the distribution period that corresponds with the date such notice is distributed. All vote tabulations shall be final and the Certificate Administrator shall not, absent manifest error, re-tabulate the votes or conduct a new vote for the same proposition.

(d)          Any and all reasonable expenses incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with administering any vote shall be borne by the Trust. The Certificate Administrator is under no obligation to advise Holders about the matter being voted on or answer questions other than process-related questions regarding the administration of the vote.

(e)          If any party to this Agreement believes a vote of Certificateholders is needed for some matter related to the administration of the Trust that is not specifically contemplated herein, such party may request the Certificate Administrator to conduct a vote and the Certificate Administrator will conduct the requested vote in accordance with these procedures. Unless specifically provided herein, all such votes require a majority of Certificateholders to carry a proposition.

(b)          The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Asset Representations Reviewer each may be merged or consolidated with or into any Person, or transfer all or substantially all of its assets (which may be limited to all or substantially all of its assets related to commercial mortgage loan servicing or commercial mortgage surveillance, as the case may be) to any Person, in which case any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, or the Asset Representations Reviewer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, or the Asset Representations Reviewer, shall be the successor of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, or the Asset Representations Reviewer (such Person, in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, in each of the foregoing cases, the “Surviving Entity”), as the case may be, hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper (other than an assumption agreement wherein the successor shall agree to perform the obligations of and serve as the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, or the Asset Representations Reviewer, as the case may be, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that with respect to such merger, consolidation or succession, Rating Agency Confirmation is received from each Rating Agency with respect to the Classes of Certificates and, with respect to any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities, a confirmation is received from each applicable rating agency that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings (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 Section 3.25); provided, further, that if the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor enters into a merger and the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, is the surviving entity under applicable law, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, shall not, as a result of the merger, be required to provide a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to ratings of the Classes of Certificates or, with respect to any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities, a confirmation of the rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings; provided, further, that for so long as the Trust, and, with respect to any Companion Loan included as part of the trust in a related Other Securitization, is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, if the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor notifies the Depositor in writing (a “Merger Notice”) of any such merger, consolidation, conversion or other change in form, and the Depositor or the depositor in such Other Securitization, as the case may be, notifies the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, in

-311-
 

writing that the Depositor or the depositor in such Other Securitization, as the case may be, has discovered that such successor entity has not complied with its Exchange Act reporting obligations under any other commercial mortgage loan securitization (and specifically identifying the instance of noncompliance), then it shall be an additional condition to such succession that the Depositor or the depositor in such Other Securitization, as the case may be, shall have consented (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to such successor entity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Operating Advisor may remain the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Operating Advisor, as applicable, under this Agreement after (x) being merged or consolidated with or into any Person that is a Prohibited Party, or (y) transferring all or substantially all of its assets to any Person if such Person is a Prohibited Party, except to the extent (i) the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or Operating Advisor, as applicable, is the surviving entity of such merger, consolidation or transfer and has been and continues to be in compliance with its Regulation AB reporting obligations hereunder or (ii) the Depositor consents to such merger, consolidation or transfer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If, within sixty (60) days following the date of delivery of the Merger Notice to the Depositor or the depositor in such Other Securitization, as the case may be, the Depositor or depositor in such Other Securitization, as the case may be, shall have failed to notify the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in writing of the Depositor’s determination, or depositor’s determination, in the case of an Other Securitization, to grant or withhold such consent, such failure shall be deemed to constitute a grant of such consent. If the conditions to the provisions in the second preceding sentence are not met, the Trustee may terminate, and if the conditions set forth in the third proviso of the second preceding sentence are not met the Trustee shall terminate, the applicable Surviving Entity’s servicing of the Mortgage Loans pursuant hereto, such termination to be effected in the manner set forth in Section 13.01.

managers, employees or agents of any of the foregoing shall be under any liability to the Trust, the Certificateholders or the Companion Holders for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that (i) this provision shall not protect the Depositor, the Master Servicer (including in its capacity as Companion Paying Agent), the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any such Person against any breach of warranties or representations made by it herein or any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence in the performance of such party’s obligations or duties or by reason of negligent disregard of such party’s obligations and duties hereunder. The Depositor, the Master Servicer (including in its capacity as Companion Paying Agent), the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and any partner, director, officer, shareholder, member, manager, employee or agent of the Depositor, the Master Servicer (including in its capacity as Companion Paying Agent), the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor or the Asset Representations Reviewer may rely on any document of any kind which, prima facie, is properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder.

In addition, absent actual fraud (as determined by a final non-appealable court order), neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator (including in its capacity as Custodian) shall 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. Each of the Master Servicer (including in its capacity as Companion Paying Agent), the Special Servicer, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Operating Advisor conclusively may rely on, and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon, any resolution, officer’s certificate, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, financial statement, agreement, appraisal, bond or other document (in electronic or paper format) as contemplated by and in accordance with this Agreement and reasonably believed or in good faith believed by the Master Servicer (including in its capacity as Companion Paying Agent), the Special Servicer, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Operating Advisor to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties and each of them may consult with counsel, in which case any written advice of counsel or Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection with respect to any action

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 Trust for any amounts advanced for the payment of such expenses, costs or liabilities. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such action, proceeding, hearing or examination and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust, and the Depositor, the Master Servicer (including in its capacity as Companion Paying Agent), the Special Servicer, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Operating Advisor shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of amounts attributable to the Mortgage Loans or the Companion Loan on deposit in the Collection Account (including, without duplication, any subaccount thereof), as provided by Section 3.05(a)(xii).

hereunder or by reason of breach of any representations or warranties made herein; provided that such indemnity shall not cover indirect or consequential damages. The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Asset Representations Reviewer or the Operating Advisor, as the case may be, shall immediately notify the Depositor if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement, whereupon the Depositor shall assume the defense of such claim (with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Master Servicer (including in its capacity as Companion Paying Agent) or the Special Servicer) and pay all expenses in connection therewith, including counsel fees, and promptly pay, discharge and satisfy any judgment or decree which may be entered against it or them in respect of such claim.

-317-
 

under applicable law or (b) in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, upon the appointment of, and the acceptance of such appointment by, a successor master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, and receipt by the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency and a confirmation of any applicable rating agencies that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings of any class of Serviced Companion Loan 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 pursuant to Section 3.25). Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to clause (a) above shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the resigning party) to such effect delivered to the Trustee and (prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event) the Directing Certificateholder.

The resigning party shall pay all costs and expenses (including costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator) associated with a transfer of its duties pursuant to this Section 6.05. Except as provided in Section 7.01(c), in no event shall the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer have the right to appoint any successor master servicer or special servicer if such Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, is terminated or removed pursuant to Section 7.01.

provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer and Special Servicer may mutually agree, as contemplated by Section 3.18(a) of this Agreement, that the Master Servicer will process and obtain the prior consent of the Special Servicer with respect to any of the foregoing matters with respect to any Non-Specially Serviced Loan, and, whether processed by the Master Servicer or not, with respect to a Major Decision in connection with a Non-Specially Serviced Loan, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each be entitled to 50% of any Excess Modification Fees and assumption, consent and earnout fees (other than the assumption application fees and defeasance fees) paid in connection with such matters; provided, further, that, in the event that the Special Servicer or Master Servicer (in the event the Master Servicer is otherwise authorized by this Agreement to take such action), as applicable, determines that immediate action, with respect to the foregoing matters, or any other matter requiring consent of the Directing Certificateholder prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event in this Agreement (or any matter requiring consultation with the Directing Certificateholder or the Operating Advisor), is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders (or, with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the interest of the Certificateholders and the holders of any related Serviced Companion Loan) (as a collective whole (taking into account the subordinate or pari passu nature of any Companion Loans, as the case may be)), the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, 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 therefor. The Special Servicer is not required to obtain the consent of the Directing Certificateholder for any of the foregoing actions after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event; provided, however, that, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event but, with respect to the Directing Certificateholder only, prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, the Special Servicer shall consult with the Directing Certificateholder in connection with any Major Decision not relating to any Excluded Loan (and any other actions which otherwise require consultation with the Directing Certificateholder prior to a Consultation Termination Event hereunder) and consider alternative actions recommended by the Directing Certificateholder, in respect thereof. 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 shall not be obligated to consult with the Directing Certificateholder on the specific matter; provided, however, that the failure of the Directing Certificateholder to respond shall not relieve the Special Servicer from consulting with

-321-
 

the Directing Certificateholder on any future matters with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan or any other Mortgage Loan. In addition, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event the Special Servicer will also be required to consult with the Operating Advisor in connection with any proposed Major Decision (and any other actions which otherwise require consultation with the Operating Advisor after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event hereunder) and consider alternative actions recommended by the Operating Advisor, in respect thereof, provided that such consultation is on a non-binding basis. In the event that the Special Servicer receives no response from the Operating Advisor within 10 Business Days following the later of (i) its written request for input 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 shall not be obligated to consult with the Operating Advisor on the specific matter; provided, however, that the failure of the Operating Advisor to respond on any specific matters shall not relieve the Special Servicer from its obligation to consult with the Operating Advisor on any future matter with respect to the applicable Mortgage Loan or any other Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any Excluded Loan (regardless of whether a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing), the Special Servicer shall consult with the Operating Advisor, on a non-binding basis, in connection with the related transactions involving proposed Major Decisions and consider alternative actions recommended by the Operating Advisor, in respect thereof, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 6.08 for consulting with the Operating Advisor.

In addition, with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than an Excluded Loan, for so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Directing Certificateholder subject to any rights, if any, of the related Companion Holder to advise the Special Servicer with respect to the related Serviced Whole Loan, pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement, may direct the Special Servicer to take, or to refrain from taking, such other actions with respect to a Mortgage Loan, as the Directing Certificateholder may deem advisable or as to which provision is otherwise made herein; provided that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no such direction or objection contemplated by the preceding paragraph or this paragraph, may require or cause the Master Servicer or Special Servicer to violate any provision of any Mortgage Loan or related Intercreditor Agreement or mezzanine intercreditor agreement, applicable law, this Agreement, or the REMIC Provisions (and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, subject to the rights of the holders of the related Companion Loan), including without limitation the obligation of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard, or expose the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trust or the Trustee to liability, or materially expand the scope of the responsibilities of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder or cause the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to act, or fail to act, in a manner which in the reasonable judgment of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, is not in the best interests of the Certificateholders.

In the event the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, determines that a refusal to consent by the Directing Certificateholder or any advice or direction from the Directing Certificateholder, would cause the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, to violate the terms of any Mortgage Loan, applicable law or this Agreement, including without

-322-
 

limitation, the Servicing Standard, the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, shall disregard such refusal to consent or advise and notify the Directing Certificateholder, the Trustee and the Rating Agencies of its determination, including a reasonably detailed explanation of the basis therefor. The taking of, or refraining from taking, any action by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer in accordance with the direction of or approval of the Directing Certificateholder that does not violate the terms of any Mortgage Loan, applicable law or the Servicing Standard or any other provisions of this Agreement, will not result in any liability on the part of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer.

The Directing Certificateholder shall have no liability to the Trust or the Certificateholders for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that the Directing Certificateholder shall not be protected against any liability to a Controlling Class Certificateholder that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties owed to the Controlling Class Certificateholders or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations or duties owed to the Controlling Class Certificateholders. By its acceptance of a Certificate, each Certificateholder acknowledges and agrees that the Directing Certificateholder may take actions that favor the interests of the Holders of the Controlling Class over other Classes of the Certificates, and that the Directing Certificateholder may have special relationships and interests that conflict with those of Holders of some Classes of the Certificates, that the Directing Certificateholder may act solely in the interests of the Holders of the Controlling Class, including the Holders of the Controlling Class, that the Directing Certificateholder does not have any duties or liability to the Holders of any Class of Certificates other than the Controlling Class, that the Directing Certificateholder shall not be liable to any Certificateholder, by reason of its having acted solely in the interests of the Holders of the Controlling Class, and that the Directing Certificateholder shall have no liability whatsoever for having so acted, and no Certificateholder may take any action whatsoever against the Directing Certificateholder or any director, officer, employee, agent or principal thereof for having so acted.

Any Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder, with respect to a Non-Serviced Whole Loan, shall have no liability to the Trust or the Certificateholders for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action, or for errors in judgment. By its acceptance of a Certificate, each Certificateholder acknowledges and agrees that any such Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder, with respect to the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan, may take actions that favor the interests of one or more classes of the certificates issued under the related Non-Serviced PSA including the Holders of the controlling class under such Non-Serviced PSA over other Classes of the Certificates, and that such Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder, with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan, may have special relationships and interests that conflict with those of Holders of some Classes of the Certificates, that such Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder, with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan, may act solely in the interests of the Holders of the controlling class under the related Non-Serviced PSA, that such Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder, shall not be liable to any Certificateholder, by reason of its having acted solely in the interests of the Holders of the controlling class under the related Non-Serviced PSA, and that such Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder, with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan, shall have no liability whatsoever for having so acted, and no Certificateholder may take any action whatsoever against

(b)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (i) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event (and at any time with respect to any Excluded Loan), the Directing Certificateholder shall have no right to consent to or direct any action taken or not taken by any party to this Agreement; (ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event but prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder shall remain entitled to receive any notices, reports or information to which it is entitled pursuant to this Agreement, and the Master Servicer, Special Servicer and any other applicable party shall consult with the Directing Certificateholder (other than with respect to any Excluded Loan) in connection with any action to be taken or refrained from taking to the extent set forth herein; and (iii) after the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event (and at any time with respect to any Excluded Loan), the Directing Certificateholder shall have no direction, consultation or consent rights hereunder 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.

(b)          If any Servicer Termination Event with respect to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (in either case, for purposes of this Section 7.01(b), the “Affected Party”) shall occur and be continuing, then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Servicer

-326-
 

Termination Event shall not have been remedied, the Trustee or the Depositor may, and at the written direction of ((i) for so long as a Control Termination Event has not occurred and is not continuing and (ii) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan) the Directing Certificateholder (solely with respect to the Special Servicer) or the Holders of Certificates entitled to more than 50% of the Voting Rights, the Trustee shall, terminate (and the Depositor may direct the Trustee to terminate each of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, upon five Business Days’ written notice if there is a Servicer Termination Event under clause (iii)(A) above), by notice in writing to the Affected Party, with a copy of such notice to the Depositor and the Operating Advisor, all of the rights (subject to Section 3.11 and Section 6.04) and obligations of the Affected Party under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and the proceeds thereof (other than as a Certificateholder or Companion Holder, if applicable); provided, however, that the Affected Party shall be entitled to the payment of accrued and unpaid compensation and reimbursement through the date of such termination as provided for under this Agreement for services rendered and expenses incurred. From and after the receipt by the Affected Party of such written notice except as otherwise provided in this Article VII, all authority and power of the Affected Party under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates (other than as a Holder of any Certificate) or the Mortgage Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee with respect to a termination of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to and under this Section 7.01, and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of and at the expense of the Affected Party, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise. The Master Servicer and Special Servicer each agree that if it is terminated pursuant to this Section 7.01(b), it shall promptly (and in any event no later than twenty (20) Business Days subsequent to its receipt of the notice of termination) provide the Trustee with all documents and records requested by it to enable it to assume the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as the case may be, functions hereunder, and shall cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination of the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as the case may be, responsibilities and rights (subject to Section 3.11 and Section 6.04) hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer within five (5) Business Days to the Trustee for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be or should have been credited by the Master Servicer to the Collection Account or any Servicing Account (if it is the Affected Party), by the Special Servicer to the REO Account (if it is the Affected Party) or thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans or any REO Property (provided, however, that the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each shall, if terminated pursuant to this Section 7.01(b) or pursuant to Section 7.01(d) (with respect to the Special Servicer), continue to be entitled to receive all amounts accrued or owing to it under this Agreement on or prior to the date of such termination, whether in respect of Advances (in the case of the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer) or otherwise, and it and its Affiliates and the directors, managers, officers, members, employees and agents of it and its Affiliates shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.11 and Section 6.04 notwithstanding any such termination).

(c)          If the Master Servicer receives notice of termination under Section 7.01(b) solely due to a Servicer Termination Event under Section 7.01(a)(vi) or (a)(vii), the Master Servicer shall have a forty-five (45) day period after such notice in which to find a successor

-327-
 

master servicer qualified to act as Master Servicer hereunder in accordance with Section 6.03 and Section 7.02 and to which the Master Servicer can sell its rights to service the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement. During such forty-five (45) day period the Master Servicer may continue to serve as Master Servicer hereunder. In the event that the Master Servicer is unable, within such forty-five (45) day period, to cause a qualified successor master servicer to assume the duties of the Master Servicer hereunder, then and in such event, the Trustee shall assume the obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder.

Notwithstanding Section 7.01(b), if any Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Special Servicer shall occur and be continuing that affects the Holder of a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, then, so long as the Special Servicer is not otherwise terminated, the Holder of such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan or the Other Trustee appointed under the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as applicable, shall be entitled to direct the Trustee to terminate the Special Servicer with respect to the related Serviced Pari Passu Whole Loan. Any Special Servicer appointed to replace the Special Servicer with respect to a Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan cannot at any time be (without the prior written consent of the holder of such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) the person (or Affiliate thereof) that was terminated at the direction of the holder of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan. Any such Special Servicer under this paragraph shall meet the eligibility requirements of Section 7.02 and the eligibility requirements of the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and the appointment thereof shall comply with the provisions of Section 7.02. Any appointment of a replacement Special Servicer in accordance with this paragraph shall be subject to the receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation and confirmation from the 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 Companion Loan Securities (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 pursuant to Section 3.25).

(d)          Subject to the rights of the holder of a related AB Subordinate Companion Loan pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement at any time prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event and other than with respect to any Excluded Loan, the Directing Certificateholder shall be entitled to terminate the rights (subject to Section 3.11 and Section 6.04) and obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement, with or without cause, upon ten (10) Business Days’ notice to the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Operating Advisor; such termination to be effective upon the appointment of a successor special servicer meeting the requirements of this Section 7.01(d). Upon a termination of such Special Servicer, the Directing Certificateholder (other than with respect to any Excluded Loan) shall designate a successor special servicer; provided, however, that (i) such successor will meet the requirements set forth in Section 7.02, (ii) each Rating Agency delivers Rating Agency Confirmation and, in the case of any class of any Serviced Companion Loan Securities the applicable rating agencies deliver a confirmation that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then-current ratings (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 pursuant to Section 3.25) and (iii) no replacement of the Special Servicer shall be effective until the Certificate Administrator shall have filed any required Form 8-K pursuant to

-328-
 

Section 11.07 hereof and any other Form 8-K filings have been completed with respect to any related Companion Loan.

After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event and upon (a) the written direction of Holders of Principal Balance Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights (taking into account the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances pursuant to Section 4.05 hereof) of the Principal Balance Certificates requesting a vote to replace the Special Servicer with a new special servicer designated in such written direction, (b) 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 and which will not be additional expenses of the Trust and (c) delivery by such Holders to the Certificate Administrator and Trustee of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency (which Rating Agency Confirmation shall be obtained at the expense of such Holders), the Certificate Administrator shall promptly post notice to all Certificateholders of such request on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(b) and concurrently by mail, and conduct the solicitation of votes of all Certificates in such regard, which vote shall occur within one hundred-eighty (180) days of the posting of such notice. Upon the written direction of (a) Holders of Certificates evidencing at least 66-2/3% of a Certificateholder Quorum of Certificates or (b) Holders of Non-Reduced Certificates evidencing more than 50% of the Voting Rights of each of Class of Non-Reduced Certificates, the Trustee shall terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement and appoint the successor special servicer (which must be a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer) designated by such Certificateholders. The Certificate Administrator shall include on each Statement to Certificateholders a statement that each Certificateholder may (i) access such notices via the Certificate Administrator’s Website and (ii) register to receive electronic mail notifications when such notices are posted thereon.

The parties hereto acknowledge that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this section, in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement, if a servicer termination event on the part of a Non-Serviced Special Servicer under a Non-Serviced PSA remains unremedied and affects the holder of the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, and the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer has not otherwise been terminated, the holder of the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan (or the Trustee, acting at the direction of the Directing Certificateholder) will be entitled to direct the related Non-Serviced Trustee to terminate the related Non-Serviced Special Servicer solely with respect to the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan. The appointment (or replacement) of a special servicer with respect to a Non-Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable, will in any event be subject to Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency. A replacement special servicer will be selected by the related Non-Serviced Trustee or, prior to a consultation termination event under the related Non-Serviced PSA, by the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder; provided, however, that any successor special servicer appointed to replace the special servicer with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan cannot at any time be the Person (or an Affiliate thereof) that was terminated at the direction of the holder of such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, without the prior written consent of the Directing Certificateholder.

 

-329-
 

Following the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event, subject to the immediately succeeding paragraph, if the Operating Advisor determines that the Special Servicer is not performing its duties as required hereunder or is otherwise not acting in accordance with the Servicing Standard, the Operating Advisor shall deliver to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, with a copy to the Special Servicer, a written report in the form of Exhibit W attached hereto (which form may be modified or supplemented from time to time to cure any ambiguity or error or to incorporate any additional information, subject to compliance of such form with the terms and provisions of this Agreement; provided, further, that in no event shall the information or any other content included in such written recommendation contravene any provision of this Agreement) detailing the reasons supporting its recommendation (along with relevant information justifying its recommendation) and recommending a suggested replacement special servicer, which shall be a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer. In such event, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly post notice to all Certificateholders of such recommendation and the related report on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 3.13(b), and by mail conduct the solicitation of votes of all Certificates in such regard. Upon (i) the affirmative vote of Holders of Principal Balance Certificates evidencing at least a majority of the aggregate Voting Rights (taking into account the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the respective Certificate Balances of such Certificates) of all Principal Balance Certificates on an aggregate basis and (ii) receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency by the Certificate Administrator following satisfaction of the foregoing clause (i), the Trustee shall (i) terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement and appoint a successor special servicer approved by the Certificateholders and (ii) promptly notify such outgoing Special Servicer of the effective date of such termination. The reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses of outside counsel) associated with obtaining such Rating Agency Confirmations and administering such vote and the Operating Advisor’s identification of a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer shall be an additional expense of the Trust. In the event that the Trustee does not receive at least a majority of the requested votes, then the Trustee shall have no obligation to remove the Special Servicer. Prior to the appointment of any replacement special servicer, such replacement special servicer shall have agreed to succeed to the obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement and to act as the Special Servicer’s successor hereunder.

No penalty or fee shall be payable to the terminated Special Servicer with respect to any termination pursuant to this Section 7.01(d). All costs of any such termination made by the Directing Certificateholder without cause shall be paid by the Holders of the Controlling Class.

For the avoidance of doubt, the indemnification of the Operating Advisor in Section 6.04 shall include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6.04, any action or claim arising from, or relating to, the Operating Advisor’s determination under this Section 7.01(d) (regarding removal of the Special Servicer), or the result of the vote of the Certificateholders (regarding removal of the Special Servicer).

(e)          The Master Servicer and Special Servicer shall, as the case may be, from time to time, take all such reasonable actions as are required by it in accordance with the related Servicing Standard in order to prevent the Certificates from being placed on “watch” status or

-330-
 

downgraded due to servicing or special servicing, as applicable, concerns by any Rating Agency. In no event shall the remedy for a breach of the foregoing covenant extend beyond termination pursuant to Section 7.01(a)(vi), (a)(vii) and (a)(viii) and the resulting operation of Section 7.01(b) and (c). The operation of this subsection (e) shall not be construed to limit the effect of Section 7.01(a)(vi), (a)(vii) and (a)(viii).

(f)          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 Companion Loan or the rating on any class of certificates backed, wholly or partially, by any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, and if the Master Servicer is not otherwise terminated, or (2) if a 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 class of certificates backed, wholly or partially, by 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 certificates backed, wholly or partially, by such Serviced Companion Loan, but upon the written direction of the related holder of such Serviced Companion Loan, the Master Servicer shall be required to appoint a sub-servicer that will be responsible for servicing the related Serviced Whole Loan.

(g)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 7.01, with respect to any Excluded Special Servicer Loan, if any, the Special Servicer shall 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 or the majority Controlling Class Certificateholder on its behalf shall select an Excluded Special Servicer, as successor to the resigning Special Servicer, for the related Excluded Special Servicer Loan in accordance with this Agreement. After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event or if the Directing Certificateholder or the majority Controlling Class Certificateholder on its behalf fails to make the selection contemplated by the prior sentence within ten (10) Business Days or if at any time the applicable Excluded Special Servicer Loan is also an Excluded Loan, the resigning Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to select the related Excluded Special Servicer. The Special Servicer shall 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 the selected Excluded Special Servicer is a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer. It shall be a condition to any such appointment that (i) the Rating Agencies confirm that the appointment would not result in a qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of any of their then-current ratings of the Certificates and each NRSRO hired to provide ratings with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan Securities makes the equivalent confirmation, (ii) the related Excluded Special Servicer is a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer and (iii) the related Excluded Special Servicer delivers to the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator and any applicable Other Depositor and Other Certificate Administrator, the information, if any, required under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K pursuant to the Exchange Act regarding itself in its role as Excluded Special Servicer.

If at any time the Special Servicer is no longer a Borrower Party (including, without limitation, as a result of the related Mortgaged Property becoming an REO Property) with respect to an Excluded Special Servicer Loan, (1) the related Excluded Special Servicer

-331-
 

shall resign, (2) the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan shall no longer be an Excluded Special Servicer Loan, (3) the Special Servicer shall become the Special Servicer again for such related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan and (4) the Special Servicer shall 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 shall perform all of the obligations of the Special Servicer for the related Excluded Special Servicer Loan and shall 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.

If a Servicing Officer of the Master Servicer, a related Excluded Special Servicer, or the Special Servicer, as applicable, has actual knowledge that a Mortgage Loan is no longer an Excluded Loan, an Excluded Controlling Class Loan or an Excluded Special Servicer Loan, as applicable, the Master Servicer, the related Excluded Special Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide prompt written notice thereof to each of the other parties to this Agreement.

Section 7.02     Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor. On and after the time the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, either resigns pursuant to subsection (a) of the first sentence of Section 6.05 or receives a notice of termination for cause pursuant to Section 7.01(b), and provided that no acceptable successor has been appointed within the time period specified in Section 7.01(c), the Trustee shall be the successor to such party, until such successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, is appointed as provided in this Section 7.02 or by the Directing Certificateholder as provided in Section 7.01(d), as applicable, in all respects in its capacity as Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to, and have the benefit of, all of the rights, (subject to Section 3.11 and Section 6.04) benefits, responsibilities, duties, liabilities and limitations on liability relating thereto and that arise thereafter placed on or for the benefit of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, by the terms and provisions hereof; provided, however, that any failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by the terminated party’s failure under Section 7.01 to provide information or moneys required hereunder shall not be considered a default by such successor hereunder. The appointment of a successor master servicer shall not affect any liability of the predecessor Master Servicer which may have arisen prior to its termination as Master Servicer, and the appointment of a successor special servicer shall not affect any liability of the predecessor Special Servicer which may have arisen prior to its termination as Special Servicer. The Trustee in its capacity as successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall not be liable for any of the representations and warranties of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, respectively, herein or in any related document or agreement, for any acts or omissions of the predecessor Master Servicer or Special Servicer or for any losses incurred by the predecessor Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.06 hereunder, nor shall the Trustee be required to purchase any Mortgage Loan hereunder solely as a result of its obligations as successor master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be. Subject to Section 3.11, as compensation therefor, the Trustee as successor master servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing

-332-
 

Fees and all fees relating to the Mortgage Loans, the Companion Loans which the Master Servicer would have been entitled to if the Master Servicer had continued to act hereunder, including but not limited to any income or other benefit from any Permitted Investment pursuant to Section 3.06, and subject to Section 3.11, and the Trustee as successor to the Special Servicer shall be entitled to the Special Servicing Fees to which the Special Servicer would have been entitled if the Special Servicer had continued to act hereunder. Should the Trustee succeed to the capacity of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, the Trustee shall be afforded the same standard of care and liability as the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder notwithstanding anything in Section 8.01 to the contrary, but only with respect to actions taken by it in its role as successor master servicer or successor special servicer, as the case may be, and not with respect to its role as Trustee hereunder. Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to act as successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, or shall, if it is unable to so act, or if the Trustee is not approved as a servicer by each Rating Agency, or if the Directing Certificateholder ((i) for so long as a Control Termination Event has not occurred and is not continuing and (ii) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan) or the Holders of Certificates entitled to more than 50% of the Voting Rights so request in writing to the Trustee, promptly appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established mortgage loan servicing institution or other entity which meets the criteria set forth in Section 6.05 and otherwise herein, as the successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer hereunder. No appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder shall be effective until (i) the assumption in writing by the successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer of all its responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder that arise thereafter, (ii) upon receipt of 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 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 pursuant to Section 3.25), (iii) which appointment has been approved (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event) by the Directing Certificateholder, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld and (iv) the Certificate Administrator shall have filed any required Form 8-K pursuant to Section 11.07 hereof and any other Form 8-K filings have been completed with respect to any related Companion Loan. Pending appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder, unless the Trustee shall be prohibited by law from so acting, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as herein above provided. In connection with such appointment and assumption of a successor to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer as described herein, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on the Mortgage Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation with respect to a successor master servicer or successor special servicer, as the case may be, shall be in excess of that permitted the terminated Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder. The Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (whichever is not the terminated party) and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. Any costs and expenses associated with the transfer of the servicing function (other than with respect to a termination without cause) under this Agreement

-333-
 

shall be borne by the predecessor Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable. If such predecessor Master Servicer or Special Servicer (as the case may be) has not reimbursed the party requesting such termination or the successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer for such expenses within 90 days after the presentation of reasonable documentation, such expense shall be reimbursed by the Trust; provided that the terminated Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of its liability for such expenses. If and to the extent that the terminated Master Servicer or Special Servicer has not reimbursed such costs and expenses, the party requesting such termination shall have an affirmative obligation to take all reasonable actions to collect such expenses on behalf of the Trust. In the event of a termination without cause, such costs and expenses shall be borne by the party requesting such termination, or as otherwise set forth herein; provided that the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall not bear any such costs and expenses. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Trustee is terminating the Master Servicer or Special Servicer in accordance with this Agreement at the direction of any party or parties permitted to direct the Trustee to so terminate the Master Servicer or Special Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, the Trustee shall not have any liability for such expenses pursuant to this paragraph.

Section 7.03     Notification to Certificateholders. (a) Upon any resignation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 6.05, any termination of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 7.01 or any appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02, the Certificate Administrator shall give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register.

(b)          Not later than the later of (i) sixty (60) days after the occurrence of any event which constitutes or, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a Servicer Termination Event and (ii) five (5) days after the Certificate Administrator would be deemed to have notice of the occurrence of such an event in accordance with Section 8.02(vii), the Certificate Administrator shall transmit by mail to the Depositor and all Certificateholders (and, if a Serviced Whole Loan is affected, the related Serviced Companion Noteholder) notice of such occurrence, unless such default shall have been cured.

Section 7.04     Waiver of Servicer Termination Events. The Holders of Certificates representing at least 66-2/3% of the Voting Rights allocated to each Class of Certificates affected by any Servicer Termination Event hereunder may waive such Servicer Termination Event within twenty (20) days of the receipt of notice from the Certificate Administrator of the occurrence of such Servicer Termination Event; provided, however, that (1) a Servicer Termination Event under clause (i) or (ii) of Section 7.01(a) may be waived only by all of the Certificateholders of the affected Classes and (2) a Servicer Termination Event under clause (iii) or (ix) of Section 7.01(a) relating to Exchange Act reporting may be waived only with the consent of the Depositor, together with (in the case of each of clauses (1) and (2) of this sentence) the consent of each Serviced Companion Noteholder, if any, that is affected by such Servicer Termination Event. Upon any such waiver of a Servicer Termination Event, such Servicer Termination Event shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose hereunder. Upon any such waiver of a Servicer Termination Event by Certificateholders, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to recover all costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with enforcement action taken with respect to

-334-
 

such Servicer Termination Event prior to such waiver from the Trust. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Servicer Termination Event or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, for purposes of waiving any Servicer Termination Event pursuant to this Section 7.04, Certificates registered in the name of the Depositor or any Affiliate of the Depositor shall be entitled to the same Voting Rights with respect to the matters described above as they would if any other Person held such Certificates.

Section 7.05     Trustee as Maker of Advances. In the event that the Master Servicer fails to fulfill its obligations hereunder to make any Advances and such failure remains uncured, the Trustee shall perform such obligations (x) within five (5) Business Days following such failure by the Master Servicer with respect to Servicing Advances resulting in a Servicer Termination Event under Section 7.01(a)(iii) hereof to the extent a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge of such failure with respect to such Servicing Advances and (y) by noon, New York City time, on the related Distribution Date with respect to P&I Advances pursuant to the Certificate Administrator’s notice of failure pursuant to Section 4.03(a) unless such failure has been cured. With respect to any such Advance made by the Trustee, the Trustee shall succeed to all of the Master Servicer’s rights with respect to Advances hereunder, including, without limitation, the Master Servicer’s rights of reimbursement and interest on each Advance at the Reimbursement Rate, and rights to determine that a proposed Advance is a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or Servicing Advance, as the case may be, (without regard to any impairment of any such rights of reimbursement caused by such Master Servicer’s default in its obligations hereunder); provided, however, that if Advances made by the Trustee and the Master Servicer shall at any time be outstanding, or any interest on any Advance shall be accrued and unpaid, all amounts available to repay such Advances and the interest thereon hereunder shall be applied entirely to the Advances outstanding to the Trustee, until such Advances shall have been repaid in full, together with all interest accrued thereon, prior to reimbursement of the Master Servicer for such Advances. The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any notice given with respect to a Nonrecoverable Advance hereunder.

The Trust shall pay all costs and expenses associated with such petition.

(b)          If at any time the Trustee or Certificate Administrator shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.06 (and in the case of the Certificate Administrator, Section 5.08) and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Depositor or the Master Servicer, or if at any time the Trustee or Certificate Administrator shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or Certificate Administrator or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, or if the Trustee or Certificate Administrator (if different than the Trustee) shall fail (other than by reason of the failure of either the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to timely perform its obligations hereunder or as a result of other circumstances beyond the Trustee’s or Certificate Administrator’s, as applicable, reasonable control) to timely publish any report to be delivered, published or otherwise made available by the Certificate Administrator pursuant to Section 4.02 and such failure shall continue unremedied for a period of five (5) days, or if the Certificate Administrator fails to make distributions required pursuant to Section 4.01 or Section 9.01, then

-342-
 

the Depositor may remove the Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, and appoint a successor trustee or certificate administrator acceptable to the Master Servicer, by written instrument, in duplicate, which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee or Certificate Administrator so removed and to the successor trustee or certificate administrator in the case of the removal of the Trustee or Certificate Administrator. A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificateholders by the Depositor. Except as described in the following sentence, the terminated or removed Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, shall bear all reasonable costs and expenses in connection with its termination or removal. If no successor trustee or certificate administrator shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within ninety (90) days after the giving of such notice of removal, the removed Trustee or Certificate Administrator may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee or certificate administrator, as applicable, at the expense of the Trust.

(c)          The Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 50% of the Voting Rights may upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice, with or without cause, remove the Trustee or Certificate Administrator and appoint a successor trustee or certificate administrator by written instrument or instruments, in triplicate, signed by such Holders or their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of which instruments shall be delivered to the Master Servicer, one complete set to the Trustee or Certificate Administrator so removed and one complete set to the successor so appointed. A copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the Depositor, the Special Servicer and the remaining Certificateholders by the Master Servicer. In the event of any such termination without cause pursuant to this Section 8.07(c), the successor trustee or certificate administrator, as applicable, shall be responsible for all costs and expenses necessary to effect the transfer of responsibilities from its predecessor.

(d)          Any resignation or removal of the Trustee or Certificate Administrator and appointment of a successor trustee or certificate administrator pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.07 shall not become effective until (i) acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee or certificate administrator as provided in Section 8.08 and (ii) the Certificate Administrator shall have filed any required Form 8-K pursuant to Section 11.07 hereof and any other Form 8-K filings have been completed with respect to any related Companion Loan.

If the Master Servicer shall not have joined in

-345-
 

such appointment within fifteen (15) days after the receipt by it of a request to do so, or in case a Servicer Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment.

All co-trustee fees shall be payable out of the Trust Fund.

(b)          In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee pursuant to this Section 8.10, all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee or co-trustee at the direction of the Trustee.

(c)          Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then-separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee.

(d)          Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.

(e)          The appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee under this Section 8.10 shall not relieve the Trustee of its duties and responsibilities hereunder.

The Custodian shall be a depository institution subject to supervision by federal or state authority, shall have combined capital and surplus of at least $15,000,000 and shall be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which it holds any Mortgage File. The Custodian shall be subject to the same obligations and standard of care as would be imposed on the Certificate Administrator hereunder in connection with the retention of Mortgage Files directly by the Certificate Administrator. Upon termination or resignation of the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator may appoint another Custodian meeting the foregoing requirements. The

-346-
 

appointment of one or more Custodians by the Certificate Administrator shall not relieve the Certificate Administrator from any of its obligations hereunder, and the Certificate Administrator shall remain responsible for all acts and omissions of any Custodian. Any Custodian appointed hereunder must maintain a fidelity bond and errors and omissions policy in an amount customary for Custodians which serve in such capacity in commercial mortgage loan securitization transactions, or may self-insure.

Section 8.12     Representations and Warranties of the Trustee. The Trustee hereby represents and warrants to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, each Serviced Companion Noteholder and the Certificate Administrator for the benefit of the Certificateholders, as of the Closing Date, that:

-350-
 

twenty-one (21) years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James’s, living on the date hereof.

Following the date on which the Certificate Balances and Notional Amounts, as applicable, of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class X-D Certificates have been reduced to zero (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then outstanding Certificates (other than the Class Z and Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right, with the consent of the Master Servicer, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class Z and Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by clause (iii) of the first paragraph of this Section 9.01 by giving written notice to all the parties hereto no later than sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated date of exchange. In the event that the Sole Certificateholder elects to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class Z and Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust in accordance with the preceding sentence, such Sole Certificateholder, not later than the Distribution Date on which the final distribution on the Certificates is to occur, shall deposit in the Collection Account an amount in immediately available funds equal to all amounts due and owing to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator hereunder through the date of the liquidation of the Trust that may be withdrawn from the Collection Account, or an escrow account acceptable to the respective parties hereto, pursuant to Section 3.05(a) or that may be withdrawn from the Distribution Account pursuant to Section 3.05(a), but only to the extent that such amounts are not already on deposit in the Collection Account. In addition, the Master Servicer shall transfer all amounts required to be transferred to the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account and Excess Interest Distribution Account on the P&I Advance Date related to such Distribution Date in which the final distribution on the Certificates is to occur from the Collection Account pursuant to the first paragraph of Section 3.04(b) (provided, however, that if a Serviced Whole Loan is secured by REO Property, the portion of the above-described purchase price allocable to such Trust’s portion of REO Property shall initially be deposited into the related REO Account). Upon confirmation that such final deposits have been made and following the surrender of all its Certificates (other than the Class Z and Class R Certificates) on the applicable Distribution Date, the Custodian shall, upon receipt of a Request for Release from the Master Servicer, release or cause to be released to the Sole Certificateholder or any designee thereof, the Mortgage Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans and shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other instruments furnished to it by the Sole Certificateholder as shall be necessary to effectuate transfer of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties remaining in the Trust Fund, and the Trust shall be liquidated in accordance with Section 9.02.

The obligations and responsibilities under this Agreement of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the

-351-
 

Companion Paying Agent shall terminate with respect to any Companion Loan to the extent (i) its related Serviced Mortgage Loan has been paid in full or is no longer part of the Trust Fund and (ii) no amounts payable by the related Companion Holder to or for the benefit of the Trust or any party hereto in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement remain due and owing.

The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates, in that order of priority, may, at their option, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by clause (ii) of the first paragraph of this Section 9.01 by giving written notice to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, and the other parties hereto no later than sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated date of purchase; provided, however, that the Holders of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may so elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund only on or after the first Distribution Date on which (A) the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and any REO Mortgage Loans held by the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance of the Mortgage Loans as set forth in the Preliminary Statement. This purchase shall terminate the Trust and retire the then-outstanding Certificates. In the event that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer purchases, or the Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class or the Holders of the Class R Certificates purchase, all of the Mortgage Loans and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class or the Holders of the Class R Certificates, as applicable, shall deposit in the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account not later than the P&I Advance Date relating to the Distribution Date on which the final distribution on the Certificates is to occur, an amount in immediately available funds equal to the above-described purchase price (exclusive of any portion thereof payable to any Person other than the Certificateholders pursuant to Section 3.05(a), which portion shall be deposited in the Collection Account). In addition, the Master Servicer shall transfer to the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account all amounts required to be transferred thereto on such P&I Advance Date from the Collection Account pursuant to the first paragraph of Section 3.04(b), together with any other amounts on deposit in the Collection Account that would otherwise be held for future distribution. Upon confirmation that such final deposits and payments have been made, the Custodian shall release or cause to be released to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class or the Holders of the Class R Certificates, as applicable, the Mortgage Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans and shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other instruments furnished to it by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class or the Holders of the Class R Certificates, as applicable, as shall be necessary to effectuate transfer of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties remaining in the Trust Fund.

For purposes of this Section 9.01, the Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class shall have the first option to terminate the Upper-Tier REMIC and Lower-Tier REMIC, then the Special Servicer, then the Master Servicer, and then the Holders of the Class R Certificates.

of the Holders of the Controlling Class, shall act on behalf of the Holders of the Controlling Class in purchasing the assets of the Trust and terminating the Trust.

For the purposes of the REMIC election in respect of the Upper-Tier REMIC, each Class of the Regular Certificates shall be designated as the “regular interests” and the Class UR Interest shall be designated as the sole class of “residual interests” in the Upper-Tier REMIC. For purposes of the REMIC election in respect of the Lower-Tier REMIC, each Class of Lower-Tier Regular Interests shall be designated as a class of “regular interests” and the Class LR Interest shall be designated as the sole class of “residual interests” in the Lower-Tier REMIC. None of the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall permit the creation of any “interests” (within the meaning of Section 860G of the Code) in either Trust REMIC other than the foregoing interests.

(b)          The Closing Date is hereby designated as the “startup day” (“Startup Day”) of each Trust REMIC within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.

(c)          The Certificate Administrator shall act on behalf of each Trust REMIC in relation to any tax matter or controversy involving either such REMIC and shall represent each such REMIC in any administrative or judicial proceeding relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority with respect thereto. The legal expenses, including without

-354-
 

limitation attorneys’ or accountants’ fees, and costs of any such proceeding and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses of the Trust and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor out of amounts attributable to the Mortgage Loans and any REO Properties on deposit in the Collection Account as provided by Section 3.05(a) unless such legal expenses and costs are incurred by reason of the Certificate Administrator’s willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence. The Holder of the largest Percentage Interest in the Class R Certificates shall be designated, in the manner provided under Treasury Regulations Section 1.860F-4(d) and Treasury Regulations Section 301.6231(a)(7)-1, as the “tax matters person” of each Trust REMIC. By their acceptance thereof, (i) the Holders of the Class R Certificates hereby agree to the irrevocable designation of the Certificate Administrator as the “representative” of each Trust REMIC within the meaning of Section 6223 of the Code, to the extent such provision is applicable to the Trust REMICs and (ii) the Holders of the largest Percentage Interest in the Class R Certificates hereby agrees to irrevocably appoint the Certificate Administrator as their agent to perform all of the duties of the “tax matters person” for the Trust REMICs.

(d)          The Certificate Administrator shall prepare or cause to be prepared and shall file, or cause to be filed, all of the Tax Returns that it determines are required with respect to each Trust REMIC created hereunder, and shall cause the Trustee to sign (and the Trustee shall timely sign) such Tax Returns in a timely manner. The ordinary expenses of preparing such returns shall be borne by the Certificate Administrator without any right of reimbursement therefor.

(e)          The Certificate Administrator shall provide or cause to be provided (i) to any Transferor of a Class R Certificate such information as is necessary for the application of any tax relating to the transfer of such Class R Certificate to any Person who is a Disqualified Organization, or in the case of a Transfer to an agent thereof, to such agent, (ii) to the Certificateholders such information or reports as are required by the Code or the REMIC Provisions including reports relating to interest, original issue discount and market discount or premium (using the Prepayment Assumption) and (iii) to the Internal Revenue Service on Form 8811, within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, the name, title, address and telephone number of the “tax matters person” who will serve as the representative of each of the Trust REMICs created hereunder.

(f)          The Certificate Administrator shall take such actions and shall cause the Trust to take such actions as are reasonably within the Certificate Administrator’s control and the scope of its duties more specifically set forth herein as shall be necessary to maintain the status of each Trust REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions and the Trustee shall assist the Certificate Administrator to the extent reasonably requested by the Certificate Administrator to do so. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall knowingly or intentionally take any action, cause the Trust to take any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action reasonably within its control and the scope of duties more specifically set forth herein, that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (i) cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon either Trust REMIC or the Trust (including but not limited to the tax on “prohibited transactions” as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code, but not including the tax on “net income from foreclosure

-355-
 

property”) (either such event, an “Adverse REMIC Event”) unless the Certificate Administrator receives an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action or, if such party fails to pay such expense, and the Certificate Administrator determines that taking such action is in the best interest of the Trust and the Certificateholders, at the expense of the Trust, but in no event at the expense of the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee) to the effect that the contemplated action will not, with respect to the Trust, either Trust REMIC created hereunder, endanger such status or, unless the Certificate Administrator determines in its sole discretion to indemnify the Trust against such tax, result in the imposition of such a tax (not including a tax on “net income from foreclosure property”). The Trustee shall not take or fail to take any action (whether or not authorized hereunder) as to which the Certificate Administrator has advised it in writing that it has received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur with respect to such action. The Certificate Administrator may consult with counsel to make such written advice, and the cost of same shall be borne by the party seeking to take the action not expressly permitted by this Agreement, but in no event at the expense of the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee. At all times as may be required by the Code, the Certificate Administrator will to the extent within its control and the scope of its duties more specifically set forth herein, maintain substantially all of the assets of each Trust REMIC as “qualified mortgages” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code and “permitted investments” as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.

(g)          In the event that any applicable federal, state or local tax, including interest, penalties or assessments, additional amounts or additions to tax, is imposed on either Trust REMIC, such tax shall be charged against amounts otherwise distributable to the Holders of the Certificates, except as provided in the last sentence of this Section 10.01(g); provided that with respect to the estimated amount of tax imposed on any “net income from foreclosure property” pursuant to Section 860G(c) of the Code or any similar tax imposed by a state or local tax authority, the Special Servicer shall retain in the related REO Account a reserve for the payment of such taxes in such amounts and at such times as it shall deem appropriate (or as advised by the Certificate Administrator in writing), and shall remit to the Master Servicer such reserved amounts as the Master Servicer shall request in order to pay such taxes. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, the Master Servicer shall withdraw from the Collection Account sufficient funds to pay or provide for the payment of, and to actually pay, such tax as is estimated to be legally owed by either Trust REMIC (but such authorization shall not prevent the Certificate Administrator from contesting, at the expense of the Trust (other than as a consequence of a breach of its obligations under this Agreement), any such tax in appropriate proceedings, and withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings). The Certificate Administrator is hereby authorized to and shall segregate, into a separate non-interest bearing account, the net income from any “prohibited transaction” under Section 860F(a) of the Code or the amount of any taxable contribution to either Trust REMIC after the Startup Day that is subject to tax under Section 860G(d) of the Code and use such income or amount, to the extent necessary, to pay such prohibited transactions tax. To the extent that any such tax (other than any such tax paid in respect of “net income from foreclosure property”) is paid to the Internal Revenue Service or applicable state or local tax authorities, the Certificate Administrator shall retain an equal amount from future amounts otherwise distributable to the Holders of Class R Certificates (as applicable) and shall distribute such retained amounts, (x) in the case of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests, to the Upper-Tier REMIC to the extent they are fully reimbursed for any Realized Losses arising therefrom and then to the

-356-
 

Holders of the Class R Certificates in respect of the Class LR Interest in the manner specified in Section 4.01(c) and (y) in the case of the Upper-Tier REMIC, to the Holders of the Principal Balance Certificates in the manner specified in Section 4.01(a), to the extent they are fully reimbursed for any Realized Losses arising therefrom and then to the Holders of the Class R Certificates in respect of the Class UR Interest. None of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be responsible for any taxes imposed on either Trust REMIC except to the extent such taxes arise as a consequence of a breach of their respective obligations under this Agreement which breach constitutes willful misconduct, bad faith, or negligence by such party.

(h)          The Certificate Administrator shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain or cause to be maintained books and records with respect to each Trust REMIC on a calendar year and on an accrual basis or as otherwise may be required by the REMIC Provisions.

(i)          Following the Startup Day, neither the Certificate Administrator nor the Trustee shall accept any contributions of assets to either Trust REMIC unless the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to make such contribution) to the effect that the inclusion of such assets in such Trust REMIC will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur.

(j)          Neither the Certificate Administrator nor the Trustee shall enter into any arrangement by which the Trust or either Trust REMIC will receive a fee or other compensation for services nor permit the Trust or either Trust REMIC to receive any income from assets other than “qualified mortgages” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code or “permitted investments” as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.

(k)          Solely for the purposes of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii), the “latest possible maturity date” by which the Certificate Balance or Notional Amount of each Class of Regular Certificates representing a “regular interest” in the Upper-Tier REMIC and by which the Lower-Tier Principal Amount of each Class of Lower-Tier Regular Interests representing a “regular interest” in the Lower-Tier REMIC would be reduced to zero is the date that is the Rated Final Distribution Date.

(l)          None of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall sell, dispose of or substitute for any of the Mortgage Loans (except in connection with (i) the default, imminent default or foreclosure of a Mortgage Loan, including but not limited to, the acquisition or sale of a Mortgaged Property acquired by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, (ii) the bankruptcy of the Trust, (iii) the termination of the Trust pursuant to Article IX of this Agreement or (iv) a purchase of Mortgage Loans pursuant to Article II or Article III of this Agreement) or acquire any assets for the Trust or either Trust REMIC or sell or dispose of any investments in the Collection Account or the REO Account for gain unless it has received an Opinion of Counsel that such sale, disposition or substitution will not (a) affect adversely the status of either Trust REMIC as a REMIC or (b) unless the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, has determined in its sole discretion to indemnify the Trust against such tax, cause the Trust or either Trust REMIC to be subject to a tax on “prohibited transactions” pursuant to the REMIC Provisions.

-357-
 

(m)          The Certificate Administrator’s authority under this Agreement includes the authority to make, and the Certificate Administrator is hereby directed to make, any elections allowed under the Code (i) to avoid the application of Section 6221 of the Code (or successor provisions) to any Trust REMIC and (ii) to avoid payment by any Trust REMIC under Section 6225 of the Code (or successor provisions) of any tax, penalty, interest or other amount imposed under the Code that would otherwise be imposed on any Holder of Class R Certificate, past or present. Each Holder of Class R Certificate agrees, by acquiring such Certificate, to any such elections.

Section 10.02      Use of Agents. (a) The Trustee shall execute all of its obligations and duties under this Article X through its Corporate Trust Office.

(b)          The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each furnish such reports, certifications and information, and upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours, access to such books and records maintained thereby, as may relate to the Certificates or the Trust and as shall be reasonably requested by the Certificate Administrator in order to enable it to perform its duties hereunder.

Section 10.04      Appointment of REMIC Administrators. (a) The Certificate Administrator may appoint at the Certificate Administrator’s expense, one or more REMIC Administrators, which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Certificate Administrator in performing the functions set forth in Section 10.01 herein. The Certificate Administrator shall cause any such REMIC Administrator to execute and deliver to the Certificate Administrator an instrument in which REMIC Administrator shall agree to act in such capacity, with the obligations and responsibilities herein. The appointment of a REMIC Administrator shall not relieve the Certificate Administrator from any of its obligations hereunder, and the Certificate Administrator shall remain responsible and liable for all acts and omissions of the REMIC Administrator. Each REMIC Administrator must be acceptable to the Certificate Administrator and must be organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any State and be subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities. In the absence of any other Person appointed in accordance herewith acting as

Section 11.01      Intent of the Parties; Reasonableness. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the purpose of Article XI of this Agreement is to facilitate compliance by the Depositor with the provisions of Regulation AB and the related rules and regulations of the Commission. The Depositor shall not exercise its rights to request delivery of information or other performance under these provisions other than in reasonable good faith, or for purposes other than compliance with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and, in each case, the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. The parties hereto acknowledge that interpretations of the requirements of Regulation AB may change over time, due to interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff, and agree to comply with requests made by the Depositor in good faith for delivery of information under these provisions on the basis of such evolving interpretations of Regulation AB (to the

-359-
 

extent such interpretations require compliance and are not “grandfathered”). In connection with the CSAIL 2016-C5 Commercial Mortgage Trust, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2016-C5, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator shall cooperate fully with the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, to deliver or make available to the Depositor or the Certificate Administrator (including any of its assignees or designees), any and all statements, reports, certifications, records and any other information (in its possession or reasonably attainable) necessary in the reasonable good faith determination of the Depositor to permit the Depositor to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB, together with such disclosures relating to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, and any Sub-Servicer, or the servicing of the Mortgage Loans, reasonably believed by the Depositor to be necessary in order to effect such compliance. Each party to this Agreement shall have a reasonable period of time to comply with any written request made under this Section 11.01, but in any event, shall, upon reasonable advance written request, provide information in sufficient time to allow the Depositor to satisfy any related filing requirements. For purposes of this Article XI, to the extent any party has an obligation to exercise commercially reasonable efforts to cause a third party to perform, such party hereunder shall not be required to bring any legal action against such third party in connection with such obligation.

Section 11.02      Succession; Subcontractors. (a) As a condition to the succession to the Master Servicer and Special Servicer or to any Sub-Servicer (but only if such Sub-Servicer is a Servicing Function Participant and a servicer as contemplated by Item 1108(a)(2)) as servicer or sub-servicer under this Agreement by any Person (i) into which the Master Servicer and Special Servicer or such Sub-Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or (ii) which may be appointed as a successor to the Master Servicer and Special Servicer or to any such Sub-Servicer, the person removing and replacing the Master Servicer and Special Servicer shall provide to the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator, at least fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the effective date of such succession or appointment (or such shorter period as is agreed to by the Depositor), (x) written notice to the Depositor of such succession or appointment and (y) in writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor, all information relating to such successor reasonably requested by the Depositor in order to comply with its reporting obligation under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K pursuant to the Exchange Act (if such reports under the Exchange Act are required to be filed under the Exchange Act); provided, however that if disclosing such information prior to such effective date would violate any applicable law or confidentiality agreement, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or any Additional Servicer, as the case may be, shall submit such disclosure to the Depositor no later than the first Business Day after the effective date of such succession or appointment.

(b)          Each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Sub-Servicer, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Certificate Administrator (each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Certificate Administrator and each Sub-Servicer, for purposes of this Section 11.02, a “Servicer”) is permitted to utilize one or more Subcontractors to perform certain of its obligations hereunder. If such Subcontractor will be a

-360-
 

Servicing Function Participant, such Servicer shall promptly upon written request provide to the Depositor or any Mortgage Loan Seller a written description (in form and substance satisfactory to the Depositor or such Mortgage Loan Seller, as applicable) of the role and function of each Subcontractor utilized by such Servicer, specifying (i) the identity of such Subcontractor and (ii) the elements of the Servicing Criteria that will be addressed in assessments of compliance provided by each such Subcontractor. As a condition to the utilization by such Servicer of any Subcontractor determined to be a Servicing Function Participant, such Servicer shall (i) with respect to any such Subcontractor engaged by such Servicer that is an Initial Sub-Servicer, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause, and (ii) with respect to any other subcontractor with which it has entered into a servicing relationship, cause such Subcontractor used by such Servicer for the benefit of the Depositor and the Trustee to comply with the provisions of Section 11.10 and Section 11.11 of this Agreement to the same extent as if such Subcontractor were such Servicer. With respect to any Servicing Function Participant engaged by such Servicer that is an Initial Sub-Servicer, such Servicer shall be responsible for using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, and with respect to each other Servicing Function Participant engaged by such Servicer, such Servicer shall obtain from each such Servicing Function Participant and deliver to the applicable Persons any assessment of compliance report and related accountant’s attestation required to be delivered by such Subcontractor under Section 11.10 and Section 11.11, in each case, as and when required to be delivered. For the avoidance of doubt, the Custodian shall not be permitted to utilize any Subcontractor to perform any of its obligations hereunder.

(c)          Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Servicer engages a Subcontractor, other than an Initial Sub-Servicer in connection with the performance of any of its duties under this Agreement, such Servicer shall be responsible for determining whether such Subcontractor is a “servicer” within the meaning of Item 1101 of Regulation AB and whether any such Subcontractor meets the criteria in Item 1108(a)(2)(i), (ii) or (iii) of Regulation AB. If a Servicer determines, pursuant to the preceding sentence, that such Subcontractor is a “servicer” within the meaning of Item 1101 of Regulation AB and meets the criteria in Item 1108(a)(2)(i), (ii) or (iii) of Regulation AB, then such Subcontractor shall be deemed to be a Sub-Servicer for purposes of this Agreement, the engagement of such Sub-Servicer shall not be effective unless and until notice is given to the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator of any such Sub-Servicer and Sub-Servicing Agreement. Other than with respect to the Initial Sub-Servicer, no Sub-Servicing Agreement shall be effective until fifteen (15) days after such written notice is received by the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator (or such shorter period as is agreed to by the Depositor). Such notice shall contain all information reasonably necessary to enable the Certificate Administrator to accurately and timely report the event under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K pursuant to the Exchange Act (if such reports under the Exchange Act are required to be filed under the Exchange Act).

(d)          In connection with the succession to the Trustee under this Agreement by any Person (i) into which the Trustee may be merged or consolidated, or (ii) which may be appointed as a successor to the Trustee, the Trustee shall deliver written notice to the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator and the 17g-5 Information Provider, which shall promptly post such notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(c), in each case at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to the effective date of such succession or appointment (or if such prior notice is violative of applicable law or any applicable confidentiality agreement, no

-361-
 

later than one (1) Business Day after such effective date of succession) and shall furnish to the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator, in writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator, all information reasonably necessary for the Certificate Administrator to accurately and timely report, pursuant to Section 11.07, the event under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K pursuant to the Exchange Act (if such reports under the Exchange Act are required to be filed under the Exchange Act).

(e)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article XI, in connection with any Sub-Servicer and/or any Mortgage Loan that is the subject of an Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement, with respect to all matters related to Regulation AB, the Master Servicer shall not have any obligation other than to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Sub-Servicer to comply with its obligations under such Initial Sub-Servicing Agreement.

(f)          Any information furnished pursuant to this Section 11.02 shall also be provided to each Other Depositor and each Other Certificate Administrator (to the extent the information relates to a party that services, specially services or is trustee for a Serviced Companion Loan) in the same time frame as set forth in this Section 11.02.

Section 11.03      Filing Obligations. (a) The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Trustee shall reasonably cooperate with the Depositor in connection with the satisfaction of the Trust’s reporting requirements under the Exchange Act. Pursuant to Sections 11.04, 11.05, 11.06 and 11.07 of this Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall prepare for execution by the Depositor any Forms 8-K, 10-D and 10-K required by the Exchange Act, in order to permit the timely filing thereof, and the Certificate Administrator shall file (via the Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval System (“EDGAR”)) such Forms executed by the Depositor.

Each party hereto shall be entitled to rely on the information in the Prospectus or this Agreement with respect to the identity of any “sponsor”, credit enhancer, derivative provider or “significant obligor” as of the Closing Date other than with respect to itself or any information required to be provided by it or indemnified for by it pursuant to any separate agreement.

(b)          In the event that the Certificate Administrator is unable to timely file with the Commission all or any required portion of any Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K required to be filed by this Agreement because required disclosure information was either not delivered to it or delivered to it after the delivery deadlines set forth in this Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will promptly notify the Depositor. In the case of Forms 10-D and 10-K, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor and the Trustee will thereupon cooperate to prepare and file a Form 12b-25 and a Form 10-D/A or Form 10-K/A, as applicable, pursuant to Rule 12b-25 of the Exchange Act. In the case of Form 8-K, the Certificate Administrator will, upon receipt of all required Form 8-K Disclosure Information and upon the approval and direction of the Depositor, include such disclosure information on the next succeeding Form 10-D to be filed for the Trust. In the event that any previously filed Form 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K needs to be amended, the Certificate Administrator will notify the Depositor, and such other parties as needed and the parties hereto will cooperate with the Certificate Administrator to prepare any necessary Form 8-K/A,

-362-
 

Form 10-D/A or Form 10-K/A. Any Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendment to Form 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K shall be signed by an officer of the Depositor. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the performance by the Certificate Administrator of its duties under this Section 11.03 related to the timely preparation and filing of Form 15, a Form 12b-25 or any amendment to Form 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K is contingent upon the parties observing all applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties under Sections 11.03, 11.04, 11.05, 11.06, 11.07, 11.08, 11.09, 11.10 and 11.11 of this Agreement. The Certificate Administrator shall have no liability for any loss, expense, damage, claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare, arrange for execution and/or timely file any such Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Form 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K, where such failure results from the Certificate Administrator’s inability or failure to receive, on a timely basis, any information from any other party hereto needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 15, Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Forms 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

Section 11.04      Form 10-D Filings. (a) Within fifteen (15) days after each Distribution Date (subject to permitted extensions under the Exchange Act), the Certificate Administrator shall prepare and file on behalf of the Trust any Form 10-D required by the Exchange Act, in form and substance as required by the Exchange Act. The Certificate Administrator shall file each Form 10-D with a copy of the related Statement to Certificateholders attached thereto.

(g)          With respect to any Mortgaged Property that secures a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan that the Other Depositor has notified the Master Servicer in writing is a “significant obligor” (within the meaning of Item 1101(k) of Regulation AB) with respect to an Other Securitization that includes such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, the Master Servicer shall, after receipt of updated net operating income information, (x) upon request, deliver or make available the financial statements of such “significant obligor” to the Other Servicer of such Other Securitization and (y) update the columns of the CREFC® Loan Periodic Update File related to such “significant obligor” and forward such updates to the Other Servicer.

If the Master Servicer does not receive such financial information of any such “significant obligor” (identified to it as such by the Other Depositor in accordance with the preceding paragraph) within five (5) Business Days after the date such financial information is required to be delivered under the related Mortgage Loan documents, the Master Servicer shall notify the Other Depositor with respect to such Other Securitization that includes the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (and shall cause any related Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into after receipt of written notice from the Other Depositor that such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan is a significant obligor to require the related Sub-Servicer to notify such Other Depositor) that it has not received them. The Master Servicer shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard (taking into account, in addition, the ongoing reporting obligations of such Other Depositor under the Exchange Act) to obtain the periodic financial statements required to be delivered by the related Mortgagor under the related Mortgage Loan documents.

The Master Servicer shall (and shall cause any related Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into after receipt of written notice from the Other Depositor that such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan is a significant obligor to require the related Sub-Servicer to) retain written evidence of each instance in which it (or a Sub-Servicer) attempts to contact the related Mortgagor related to any such “significant obligor” (identified to it as such by the Other Depositor in accordance with the second preceding paragraph) to obtain the required financial information and is unsuccessful and, within five (5) Business Days prior to the date in which a Form 10-D or Form 10-K, as applicable, is required to be filed by the Other Securitization, shall forward an Officer’s Certificate evidencing its attempts to obtain this information to the certificate administrator and Other Depositor related to such Other Securitization. This Officer’s Certificate should be addressed to the certificate administrator at its corporate trust office, as specified in the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be subject to a Servicer Termination Event pursuant to clause (iii) of the definition thereof prior to the expiration of the grace period applicable to such party’s obligations

-383-
 

under this Article XI as provided for in such clause (iii) nor shall any such party be deemed to not be in compliance under this Agreement, for failing to deliver any item required under this Article XI by the time required hereunder with respect to any reporting period for which the Trust is not required to file Exchange Act reports.

the asset representations reviewer

Section 12.01      Asset Review.

(a)          On or prior to each Distribution Date, based on either the CREFC® Delinquent Mortgage Loan Status Report or the CREFC® Loan Periodic Update File, the Certificate Administrator shall determine if an Asset Review Trigger has occurred. If an Asset Review Trigger is determined to have occurred, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice to all Certificateholders and each other party to this Agreement. Any notice required to be delivered to the Certificateholders pursuant to this Section 12.01 shall be delivered by the Certificate Administrator by posting such notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, by mailing to their addresses appearing in the Certificate Register and by delivering such notice via the Depository. The Certificate Administrator shall include in the 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. On each Distribution Date after providing such notice to Certificateholders, the Certificate Administrator, based on information provided to it by the Master Servicer, shall 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 written notice of such information (which may be via email) in the form of Exhibit SS within two (2) Business Days to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Asset Representations Reviewer.

If Certificateholders evidencing not less than 5% of the Voting Rights of the Certificates 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 (such written direction, the “Asset Review Vote Election”), then the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice thereof to all Certificateholders and conduct a solicitation of votes to authorize an Asset Review. Upon the affirmative vote to authorize an Asset Review of Holders of Certificates evidencing at least a majority of an Asset Review Quorum within 150 days of receipt of the Asset Review Vote Election (an “Affirmative Asset Review Vote”), the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice thereof to all parties to this Agreement, the Underwriters, the Mortgage Loan Sellers, the Directing Certificateholder and the Certificateholders (the “Asset Review Notice”). Upon receipt of an Asset Review Notice, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall request access to the Secure Data Room. Upon receipt of such request, the Certificate Administrator shall grant the Asset Representations Reviewer access to the Secure Data Room in

-384-
 

the form attached hereto as Exhibit RR. 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 (A) an additional Mortgage Loan has become a Delinquent Loan after the expiration of such 150-day period, (B) an additional Asset Review Trigger has occurred as a result or otherwise is 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) in this sentence and (D) an Affirmative Asset Review Vote has occurred within 150 days after the Asset Review Vote Election described in clause (C) in this sentence. 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 Trust from the Collection Account. The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to administer any vote in connection with the foregoing through an agent.

(b)          (i) If an Affirmative Asset Review Vote has occurred, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice thereof to all parties to this Agreement, the Underwriters, Sponsors, the Directing Certificateholder and all Certificateholders. Upon receipt of an Asset Review Notice, the Custodian (with respect to clauses (1)-(5) for non-Specially Serviced Loans), the Master Servicer (with respect to clauses (6) and (7) for non-Specially Serviced Loans) and the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans), in each case to the extent in such party’s possession, shall promptly, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days (except with respect to clause (7)) after receipt of such notice from the Certificate Administrator, provide the following materials to the Asset Representations Reviewer (collectively, with the Diligence Files, a copy of the Prospectus, a copy of each related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and a copy of this Agreement posted to the Secure Data Room by the Certificate Administrator pursuant to Section 4.08 or to the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(b), as applicable, the “Review Materials”):

(1)          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;

(2)          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;

(3)          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 (1) or (2) above;

(4)          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;

-385-
 

(5)          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;

(6)          copies of all Asset Status Reports and Final Asset Status Reports related to each Delinquent Loan to the extent previously prepared by the Special Servicer; and

(7)          any other related documents or agreements that are reasonably requested by the Asset Representations Reviewer to be delivered by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in the time frames as otherwise described below.

    (ii)        In addition, in the event that, as part of an Asset Review of any Mortgage Loan, the Asset Representations Reviewer determines that the Review Materials provided to it with respect to such Mortgage Loan are missing any document or agreement entered into or delivered in connection with the origination of such Mortgage Loan that are necessary to review and assess one or more documents comprising the Diligence File in connection with its completion of any Test, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall promptly, but in no event later than ten (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 documents and agreements, and request the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, promptly, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such notification from the Asset Representations Reviewer, to deliver to the Asset Representations Reviewer such missing documents and agreements to the extent in its possession. In the event any missing documents or agreements are not provided by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, within such ten (10) Business Day period, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall contact the related Mortgage Loan Seller to request such documents or agreements from the Mortgage Loan Seller. The Mortgage Loan Seller will be required to deliver such additional documents and agreements only to the extent in the possession of such Mortgage Loan Seller.

    (iii)       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 this Agreement or the related Mortgage Loan Seller, and shall 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”) conducted pursuant to this Section 12.01 hereof.

    (iv)        Upon receipt by the Asset Representations Reviewer of the Asset Review Notice and access to the Review Materials with respect to a Delinquent Loan, the Asset Representations Reviewer, as an independent contractor, shall 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”). The Asset Representations Reviewer shall perform an Asset Review with respect to each representation and warranty made by the related Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to such Delinquent Loan in accordance with the Asset Review Standard and the procedures set forth on Exhibit QQ (each such procedure, a “Test”). Once an Asset Review of a Mortgage Loan is completed, no further Asset Review shall be

-386-
 

required in respect of, or performed on, such Mortgage Loan notwithstanding that such Mortgage Loan may continue to be a Delinquent Loan or again become a Delinquent Loan at a time when a new Asset Review Trigger occurs and a new Affirmative Asset Review Vote is obtained subsequent to the occurrence of such new Asset Review Trigger.

    (v)          No Certificateholder shall have the right to change the scope of the Asset Review, and the Asset Representations Reviewer shall not be required to review any information other than (x) the Review Materials and (y) if applicable, Unsolicited Information.

    (vi)        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.

    (vii)       In the event that the Asset Representations Reviewer determines that the Review Materials are insufficient to complete a Test and such missing information and 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) or by the related Mortgage Loan Seller upon request by the Special Servicer to the related Mortgage Loan Seller, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall list such missing information and documents in a preliminary report setting forth the preliminary results of the application of the Tests and the reasons why such missing information and documents are necessary to complete a Test and (if the Asset Representations Reviewer has so concluded) that the absence of such information and documents will be deemed to be a failure of such Test. The Asset Representations Reviewer shall provide such preliminary report to the Master Servicer (with respect to non-Specially Serviced Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans) and the related Mortgage Loan Seller. If the preliminary report indicates that any of the representations and warranties fails or is deemed to fail any Test, the related Mortgage Loan Seller shall have ninety (90) days (the “Cure/Contest Period”) to remedy or otherwise refute the failure. Any information and documents provided or explanations given to support the Mortgage Loan Seller’s claim that the representation and warranty has not failed a Test or that any missing information or documents in the Review Materials are not required to complete a Test shall be promptly delivered by the related Mortgage Loan Seller to the Asset Representations Reviewer.

    (viii)      The Asset Representations Reviewer shall, within sixty (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 ten (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 this Agreement and the related Mortgage Loan Seller for each Delinquent Loan, 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

-387-
 

must be completed and delivered may be extended by up to an additional thirty (30) days, upon written notice to the parties to this Agreement 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 may the Asset Representations Reviewer determine whether any Test failure constitutes a Material Defect, or whether the Trust should enforce any rights it may have against the related Mortgage Loan Seller, which, in each such case, will be the responsibility of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable.

    (ix)        In addition, in the event that the Asset Representations Reviewer does not receive any information or documentation that it requested from the Master Servicer (with respect to non-Specially Serviced Loans) or 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 shall prepare the Asset Review Report solely based on the information received by the Asset Representations Reviewer with respect to the related Delinquent Loan, and the Asset Representations Reviewer shall have no responsibility to independently obtain any such information from any party to this Agreement.

    (x)          Within forty-five (45) days after receipt of an Asset Review Report with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall determine, based on the Servicing Standard, whether there exists a Material Defect with respect to such Mortgage Loan. If the Special Servicer determines that a Material Defect exists, the Special Servicer shall enforce the obligations of the related Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to such Material Defect in accordance with Section 2.03(b).

(c)          The Asset Representations Reviewer and its Affiliates shall keep all information appropriately labeled as “Privileged Information” confidential and shall not disclose such Privileged Information to any Person (including Certificateholders), other than (1) to the extent expressly required by this Agreement in an Asset Review Report or otherwise, to the other parties to this Agreement with a notice indicating that such information is Privileged Information or (2) pursuant to a Privileged Information Exception. Each party to this Agreement that receives Privileged Information from the Asset Representations Reviewer with a notice stating that such information is Privileged Information shall not disclose such Privileged Information to any Person without the prior written consent of the applicable Special Servicer other than pursuant to a Privileged Information Exception.

(d)          The Asset Representations Reviewer may delegate its duties to agents or subcontractors so long as the related agreements or arrangements with such agents or subcontractors are consistent with the provisions of this Section 12.01; provided that no agent or subcontractor may (1) be affiliated with a Sponsor, Master Servicer, Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Directing Certificateholder or any of their respective Affiliates or (ii) have been paid any fees, compensation or other remuneration by an Underwriter, Master Servicer, Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Directing Certificateholder or any of their respective Affiliates in connection with due diligence or other services with respect to any Mortgage Loan prior to the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall remain

-388-
 

obligated and primarily liable for any Asset Review required hereunder in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement 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 Asset Representations Reviewer alone were performing its obligations under this Agreement. The Asset Representations Reviewer shall be entitled to enter into an agreement with any agent or subcontractor providing for indemnification of the Asset Representations Reviewer by such agent or subcontractor, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.

Section 12.02      Payment of Asset Representations Reviewer Fees and Expenses; Limitation of Liability.

(a)          The Asset Representations Reviewer shall 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 shall be paid a fee (the “Asset Representations Reviewer Fee”), payable monthly from amounts received in respect of each Mortgage Loan and REO Mortgage Loan and shall be equal to the product of a rate equal to 0.00083% per annum (the “Asset Representations Reviewer Fee Rate”) and the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans and any REO Loans (including any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, but not any Companion Loan) and shall be calculated in the same manner as interest is calculated on such Mortgage Loans.

(b)          Upon the completion of any Asset Review with respect to a Delinquent Loan, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall be paid a fee of (i) $15,000 plus $1,000 per additional Mortgaged Property with respect to a Delinquent Loan with a Cut-off Date Balance less than $15,000,000, (ii) $20,000 plus $1,000 per additional Mortgaged Property with respect to a Delinquent Loan with a Cut-off Date Balance greater than or equal to $15,000,000, but less than $30,000,000 or (iii) $25,000 plus $1,000 per additional Mortgaged Property with respect to a Delinquent Loan with a Cut-off Date Balance greater than or equal to $30,000,000 (the “Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee”), which shall cover recurring and otherwise reasonably anticipated expenses of the Asset Representations Reviewer. The Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee with respect to each Delinquent Loan shall be paid by the related Mortgage Loan Seller within ninety (90) days of receipt by the related Mortgage Loan Seller of a written request from the Asset Representations Reviewer; provided, however, that if the related Mortgage Loan Seller is insolvent or fails to pay such amount within ninety (90) days of written request by the Asset Representations Reviewer, such fee shall be paid by the Trust following delivery by the Asset Representations Reviewer of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, of such insolvency or failure to pay such amount; provided, however, that a statement of non-payment by the Asset Representations Reviewer ninety (90) days after an itemized invoice is delivered by registered mail to the address listed in this Agreement for the related Mortgage Loan Seller, or to such other address as shall be provided by such Mortgage Loan Seller for delivery of notice in accordance with this Agreement, together with evidence of delivery or attempted delivery of such invoice and reasonable follow up by phone or email, shall constitute satisfactory evidence delivered by the Asset Representations Reviewer of such failure to pay such amount; and provided, further, that notwithstanding any payment of such fee by the Trust to the Asset Representations

-389-
 

Reviewer, such fee will remain an obligation of the related Mortgage Loan Seller and the Special Servicer shall reasonably pursue remedies against such Mortgage Loan Seller to recover any such amounts to the extent paid by the Trust, provided that the costs of doing so will be a cost of the Trust.

(c)          Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Asset Representations Reviewer Asset Review Fee with respect to a Delinquent Loan shall be included in the Purchase Price for any Mortgage Loan that was the subject of a completed Asset Review and that is repurchased by a Mortgage Loan Seller, and such portion of the Purchase Price received shall be used to reimburse the Trust for such fees paid to the Asset Representations Reviewer pursuant to Section 12.02(b).

(d)          The Asset Representations Reviewer shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically imposed by this Agreement.

Section 12.03      Resignation of the Asset Representations Reviewer. The Asset Representations Reviewer may resign and be discharged from its obligations hereunder by giving written notice thereof to the other parties to this Agreement and each Rating Agency. Upon such notice of resignation, the Depositor shall promptly appoint a successor Asset Representations Reviewer that is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer. No resignation of the Asset Representations Reviewer shall 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 shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such 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 Asset Representations Reviewer will bear all costs and expenses of each other party hereto and each Rating Agency in connection with its resignation.

Section 12.04      Restrictions of the Asset Representations Reviewer. Neither the Asset Representations Reviewer nor any of its Affiliates shall make any investment in any Class of Certificates; provided, however, that such prohibition shall 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 this Agreement from personnel involved in such Affiliate’s investment activities and (B) prevent such Affiliate and its personnel from gaining access to information regarding the Trust and the Asset Representations Reviewer and its personnel from gaining access to such Affiliate’s information regarding its investment activities.

Section 12.05      Termination of the Asset Representations Reviewer.

(a)          An “Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event” means any one of the following events whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be 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:

-390-
 

 

(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 this Agreement, which failure shall continue unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Asset Representations Reviewer by the Trustee or to the Asset Representations Reviewer and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates having at least 25% of the aggregate Voting Rights of all then outstanding Certificates;

(ii)         any failure by the Asset Representations Reviewer to perform in accordance with the Asset Review Standard which failure shall continue unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date of written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, is given to the Asset Representations Reviewer by any party to this Agreement;

(iii)        any failure by the Asset Representations Reviewer to be an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer, which failure shall continue unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date of written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, is given to the Asset Representations Reviewer by any party to this Agreement;

(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, shall have been entered against the Asset Representations Reviewer, and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days;

(v)         the Asset Representations Reviewer shall consent 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

(vi)        the Asset Representations Reviewer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend 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 shall promptly provide written notice to all Certificateholders in accordance with the notice distribution procedures described in Section 12.01(a), unless the Certificate Administrator has received written notice that such Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event has been remedied. If an Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event shall occur then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event shall not have been remedied, either the Trustee (i) may or (ii) upon the written direction of holders of

-391-
 

 

Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights (without regard to the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts), the Trustee shall, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Asset Representations Reviewer under this Agreement, other than rights and obligations accrued prior to such termination (including the right to receive all amounts accrued and owing to it under this Agreement) and other than indemnification rights (arising out of events occurring prior to such termination), by notice in writing to the Asset Representations Reviewer. The Asset Representations Reviewer is required to bear all reasonable costs and expenses of each other party to this Agreement in connection with its termination for cause. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Depositor and each Sponsor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to notify the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee of any Asset Representations Reviewer Termination Event of which it becomes aware.

(b)          Upon (i) the written direction of holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights (without regard to the application of any 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 shall promptly provide written notice thereof to the Asset Representations Reviewer and to all Certificateholders by (i) posting such notice on its internet website, and (ii) mailing such notice to all Certificateholders at their addresses appearing in the Certificate Register and to the Asset Representations Reviewer. Upon the written direction of holders of Certificates evidencing more than 75% of a Certificateholder Quorum (without regard to the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts), the Trustee shall terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Asset Representations Reviewer under this Agreement (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 notice in writing to the Asset Representations Reviewer. As between the Asset Representations Reviewer, on the one hand, and the Certificateholders, on the other, the Certificateholders shall be entitled in their sole discretion to vote for the termination or not vote for the termination of the Asset Representations Reviewer. 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.

(c)          On or after the receipt by the Asset Representations Reviewer of written notice of termination, subject to this Section 12.05, all of its authority and power under this Agreement shall be terminated and, without limitation, the terminated Asset Representations Reviewer shall execute any and all documents and other instruments, and do or accomplish all other acts or things reasonably necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination. As soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 Business Days after (1) the Asset Representations Reviewer resigns pursuant to Section 12.03 of this Agreement or (2) the Trustee delivers such written notice of termination to the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee shall appoint a successor Asset Representations Reviewer that is an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer. The Trustee shall provide written notice of the appointment of an Asset Representations Reviewer to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating

 

-392-
 

Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Directing Certificateholder and each Certificateholder within one Business Day of such appointment.

The Asset Representations Reviewer shall be at all times an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer and if the Asset Representations Reviewer ceases to be an Eligible Asset Representations Reviewer, the Asset Representations Reviewer shall 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 Section 12.03 of this Agreement and the Trustee shall appoint a successor Asset Representations Reviewer subject to and in accordance with this Section 12.05. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Trustee is unable to find a successor Asset Representations Reviewer within 30 days of the termination of the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Depositor shall be permitted to find a replacement. The Trustee shall not be liable for any failure to identify and appoint a successor asset representations reviewer for so long as the Trustee uses commercially reasonable efforts to conduct a search for a successor asset representations reviewer and such failure is not a result of the Trustee’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in the performance of its obligations hereunder.

(d)          Upon any termination of the Asset Representations Reviewer and appointment of a successor to the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee shall, as soon as possible, give written notice thereof to the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator (who shall, as soon as possible, give written notice thereof to the Certificateholders), the Operating Advisor, the Sponsors, the Depositor and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Directing Certificateholder and each Rating Agency. In the event that the Asset Representations Reviewer is terminated, all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement shall terminate, other than any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such termination (including the right to receive all amounts accrued and owing to it under this Agreement) and other than indemnification rights (arising out of events occurring prior to such termination).

Each Mortgage Loan Seller (and its respective agents), each Companion Holder (and its respective agents), each Underwriter, each depositor of a Regulation AB Companion Loan Securitization and each Initial Purchaser is an intended third-party beneficiary to this Agreement in respect of the respective rights afforded it hereunder. No other person, including, without limitation, any Mortgagor, shall be entitled to any benefit or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Agreement.

(b)          Each Serviced Companion Noteholder shall be a third-party beneficiary to this Agreement in respect to the rights afforded it hereunder. Each of the Other Servicers and the Other Trustees shall be a third-party beneficiary to this Agreement in respect to all provisions herein expressly relating to compensation, reimbursement or indemnification of such Other Servicer and Other Trustee, and any provisions regarding reimbursement or advances or interest thereon to such Other Servicer or Other Trustee.

(c)          Each of the applicable Non-Serviced Trustee, Non-Serviced Master Servicer, Non-Serviced Special Servicer and any Non-Serviced Trust holding a related Non-Serviced Companion Loan, shall be a third-party beneficiary to this Agreement in respect to its rights as specifically provided for herein and under the applicable Non-Serviced Intercreditor Agreement.

(d)          Subject to Section 2.03(k)(ii), Section 2.03(l)(iv) and Section 2.03(l)(v), any Requesting Certificateholder shall be an express third-party beneficiary to this Agreement for purposes of exercising rights under Section 2.03(k) through Section 2.03(o).

This certifies that [           ] is the registered owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect to the Class A-1 Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-

 

A-1-3
 

 

SB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class X-E, Class X-F, Class X-NR, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class NR, Class R and Class Z Certificates (together with the Class A-1 Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

 

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of February 1, 2016 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Credit Suisse Commercial Mortgage Securities Corp., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer, KeyBank National Association, as Master Servicer, and Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

 

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the determination date of each month, commencing in March 2016 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class A-1 Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class A-1 Certificates is the calendar month prior to the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

 

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provided the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in

 

A-1-4
 

 

the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent Distribution Dates), or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder at its address in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

 

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (including any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan replacing a removed Mortgage Loan), together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto (subject to, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the interests of the related Serviced Companion Noteholder in the related Mortgage File); (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut off Date (or with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of substitution); (iii) any REO Property (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein) or the Trust’s beneficial interest in the Mortgaged Property securing a Non Serviced Whole Loan acquired under the related Non-Serviced PSA; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (v) the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s, the Certificate Administrator’s and the Trustee’s rights under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (vi) any Assignment of Leases and any security agreements (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (vii) any letters of credit, indemnities, guaranties or lease enhancement policies given as additional security for any related Mortgage Loans (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (viii) all assets deposited in the Loss of Value Reserve Fund and the Servicing Accounts (to the

 

A-1-5
 

 

extent of the Trust’s interest therein), amounts on deposit in the Collection Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein), the Lower Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Upper Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Gain on Sale Reserve Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest in such Gain on Sale Reserve Account) and any REO Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest in such REO Account), including any reinvestment income, as applicable; (ix) any Environmental Indemnity Agreements (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (x) the rights and remedies of the Depositor under each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (to the extent transferred to the Trustee); (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; (xii) the Interest Deposit Amount; and (xiii) the proceeds of the foregoing (other than any interest earned on deposits in the lock box accounts, cash collateral accounts, escrow accounts and any reserve accounts, to the extent such interest belongs to the related Mortgagor).

 

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator and Trustee.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.

 

Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, or any agent of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

 

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or, as applicable, any Companion Loan Holder:

 

(i)to correct any defect or ambiguity in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;

 

(ii)to cause the provisions in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to conform or be consistent with or in furtherance of the statements made in the Prospectus (or in an offering document for any related non-offered certificates) with respect to the Certificates, the Trust or the Pooling and

 

A-1-6
 

 

Servicing Agreement or to correct or supplement any of its provisions which may be inconsistent with any other provisions therein or to correct any error;

 

(iii)to change the timing and/or nature of deposits in the Collection Account, the Distribution Accounts or any REO Account; provided that (a) the P&I Advance Date shall in no event be later than the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date and (b) such change shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, 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 Rating Agency with respect to such amendment;

 

(iv)to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to such extent as shall 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 Trust or 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 such amendment) to the effect that (a) such action is necessary or desirable to maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any such tax and (b) such action will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or Companion Holder;

 

(v)to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of Section 5.03(n) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement restricting transfer of the Class R Certificates; provided the Depositor has determined that such change shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, cause the Trust, Trust REMIC or any of the Certificateholders (other than the Transferor) to be subject to a federal tax caused by a Transfer to a Person that is a Disqualified Organization or a Non-U.S. Tax Person;

 

(vi)to revise or add any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other change; provided that the required action shall 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

 

A-1-7
 

 

may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement);

 

(vii)to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the then-current ratings assigned to each Class of 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 pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement); provided that such amendment or supplement shall 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;

 

(viii)to modify the provisions of Sections 3.05 and 3.17 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (with respect to reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances and Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts) if (a) the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and, for so long as a Control Termination Event has not occurred and is not continuing and with respect to any Mortgage Loans other than any Excluded Loan, 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) each Rating Agency has delivered a Rating Agency Confirmation and, with regard to any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the applicable rating agencies have delivered a confirmation that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then current ratings (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 pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement);

 

(ix)to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that such amendment shall not adversely affect in any material respects the interests of any Certificateholders, as evidenced by (x) an Opinion of Counsel or (y) 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 shall give notice of any such amendment

 

A-1-8
 

 

to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Certificate Administrator shall post such notice to the Certificate Administrator’s Website; or

 

(x)to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to such extent as would 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).

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment (A) may change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller or (B) may materially and adversely affect the holders of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent.

 

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than 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 Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

 

(i)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 the Certificate or which are required to be distributed to a Companion Holder without the consent of such Companion Holder; or

 

(ii)reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or remove the requirement to obtain consent of any Companion Holder without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding or such Companion Holders, as applicable; or

 

(iii)adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of Certificates without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or

 

(iv)change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller; or

(v)amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of 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 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 pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the holder of any AB Subordinate Companion Loan for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Trust Fund or any Trust REMIC, 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.

 

The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon no less than 60 days’ prior written notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class X-D Certificates are retired (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right, with the consent of the Master Servicer, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon

 

A-1-10
 

 

reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.

 

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose. The Certificate Registrar has executed this Certificate on behalf of the Trust as Certificate Registrar under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans.

This certifies that [           ] is the registered owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect to the Class A-2 Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class

 

A-2-3
 

 

X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class X-E, Class X-F, Class X-NR, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class NR, Class R and Class Z Certificates (together with the Class A-2 Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

 

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of February 1, 2016 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Credit Suisse Commercial Mortgage Securities Corp., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer, KeyBank National Association, as Master Servicer, and Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

 

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the determination date of each month, commencing in March 2016 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class A-2 Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class A-2 Certificates is the calendar month prior to the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

 

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provided the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in

 

A-2-4
 

 

the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent Distribution Dates), or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder at its address in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

 

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (including any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan replacing a removed Mortgage Loan), together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto (subject to, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the interests of the related Serviced Companion Noteholder in the related Mortgage File); (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut off Date (or with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of substitution); (iii) any REO Property (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein) or the Trust’s beneficial interest in the Mortgaged Property securing a Non Serviced Whole Loan acquired under the related Non-Serviced PSA; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (v) the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s, the Certificate Administrator’s and the Trustee’s rights under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (vi) any Assignment of Leases and any security agreements (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (vii) any letters of credit, indemnities, guaranties or lease enhancement policies given as additional security for any related Mortgage Loans (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (viii) all assets deposited in the Loss of Value Reserve Fund and the Servicing Accounts (to the

 

A-2-5
 

 

extent of the Trust’s interest therein), amounts on deposit in the Collection Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein), the Lower Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Upper Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Gain on Sale Reserve Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest in such Gain on Sale Reserve Account) and any REO Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest in such REO Account), including any reinvestment income, as applicable; (ix) any Environmental Indemnity Agreements (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (x) the rights and remedies of the Depositor under each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (to the extent transferred to the Trustee); (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; (xii) the Interest Deposit Amount; and (xiii) the proceeds of the foregoing (other than any interest earned on deposits in the lock box accounts, cash collateral accounts, escrow accounts and any reserve accounts, to the extent such interest belongs to the related Mortgagor).

 

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator and Trustee.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.

 

Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, or any agent of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

 

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or, as applicable, any Companion Loan Holder:

 

(i)to correct any defect or ambiguity in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;

 

(ii)to cause the provisions in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to conform or be consistent with or in furtherance of the statements made in the Prospectus (or in an offering document for any related non-offered certificates) with respect to the Certificates, the Trust or the Pooling and

 

A-2-6
 

 

Servicing Agreement or to correct or supplement any of its provisions which may be inconsistent with any other provisions therein or to correct any error;

 

(iii)to change the timing and/or nature of deposits in the Collection Account, the Distribution Accounts or any REO Account; provided that (a) the P&I Advance Date shall in no event be later than the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date and (b) such change shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, 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 Rating Agency with respect to such amendment;

 

(iv)to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to such extent as shall 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 Trust or 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 such amendment) to the effect that (a) such action is necessary or desirable to maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any such tax and (b) such action will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or Companion Holder;

 

(v)to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of Section 5.03(n) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement restricting transfer of the Class R Certificates; provided the Depositor has determined that such change shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, cause the Trust, Trust REMIC or any of the Certificateholders (other than the Transferor) to be subject to a federal tax caused by a Transfer to a Person that is a Disqualified Organization or a Non-U.S. Tax Person;

 

(vi)to revise or add any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other change; provided that the required action shall 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

 

A-2-7
 

 

may be considered satisfied in the same manner as any Rating Agency Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement);

 

(vii)to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the then-current ratings assigned to each Class of 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 pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement); provided that such amendment or supplement shall 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;

 

(viii)to modify the provisions of Sections 3.05 and 3.17 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (with respect to reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances and Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts) if (a) the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and, for so long as a Control Termination Event has not occurred and is not continuing and with respect to any Mortgage Loans other than any Excluded Loan, 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) each Rating Agency has delivered a Rating Agency Confirmation and, with regard to any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the applicable rating agencies have delivered a confirmation that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then current ratings (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 pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement);

 

(ix)to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that such amendment shall not adversely affect in any material respects the interests of any Certificateholders, as evidenced by (x) an Opinion of Counsel or (y) 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 shall give notice of any such amendment

 

A-2-8
 

 

to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Certificate Administrator shall post such notice to the Certificate Administrator’s Website; or

 

(x)to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to such extent as would 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).

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment (A) may change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller or (B) may materially and adversely affect the holders of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent.

 

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than 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 Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

 

(i)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 the Certificate or which are required to be distributed to a Companion Holder without the consent of such Companion Holder; or

 

(ii)reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or remove the requirement to obtain consent of any Companion Holder without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding or such Companion Holders, as applicable; or

 

(iii)adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of Certificates without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or

 

(iv)change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller; or

 

A-2-9
 

 

(v)amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of 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 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 pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the holder of any AB Subordinate Companion Loan for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Trust Fund or any Trust REMIC, 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.

 

The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon no less than 60 days’ prior written notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class X-D Certificates are retired (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right, with the consent of the Master Servicer, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon

 

A-2-10
 

 

reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.

 

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose. The Certificate Registrar has executed this Certificate on behalf of the Trust as Certificate Registrar under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans.

This certifies that [           ] is the registered owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect to the Class A-3 Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class X-E, Class X-F, Class X-NR, Class A-S, Class B,

 

A-3-3
 

 

Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class NR, Class R and Class Z Certificates (together with the Class A-3 Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

 

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of February 1, 2016 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Credit Suisse Commercial Mortgage Securities Corp., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer, KeyBank National Association, as Master Servicer, and Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

 

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the determination date of each month, commencing in March 2016 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class A-3 Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class A-3 Certificates is the calendar month prior to the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

 

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provided the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent Distribution Dates), or otherwise (b) by

 

A-3-4
 

 

check mailed to such Certificateholder at its address in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

 

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (including any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan replacing a removed Mortgage Loan), together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto (subject to, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the interests of the related Serviced Companion Noteholder in the related Mortgage File); (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut off Date (or with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of substitution); (iii) any REO Property (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein) or the Trust’s beneficial interest in the Mortgaged Property securing a Non Serviced Whole Loan acquired under the related Non-Serviced PSA; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (v) the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s, the Certificate Administrator’s and the Trustee’s rights under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (vi) any Assignment of Leases and any security agreements (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (vii) any letters of credit, indemnities, guaranties or lease enhancement policies given as additional security for any related Mortgage Loans (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (viii) all assets deposited in the Loss of Value Reserve Fund and the Servicing Accounts (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein), amounts on deposit in the Collection Account (to the extent

 

A-3-5
 

 

of the Trust’s interest therein), the Lower Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Upper Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Gain on Sale Reserve Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest in such Gain on Sale Reserve Account) and any REO Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest in such REO Account), including any reinvestment income, as applicable; (ix) any Environmental Indemnity Agreements (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (x) the rights and remedies of the Depositor under each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (to the extent transferred to the Trustee); (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; (xii) the Interest Deposit Amount; and (xiii) the proceeds of the foregoing (other than any interest earned on deposits in the lock box accounts, cash collateral accounts, escrow accounts and any reserve accounts, to the extent such interest belongs to the related Mortgagor).

 

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator and Trustee.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.

 

Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, or any agent of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

 

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or, as applicable, any Companion Loan Holder:

 

(i)to correct any defect or ambiguity in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;

 

(ii)to cause the provisions in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to conform or be consistent with or in furtherance of the statements made in the Prospectus (or in an offering document for any related non-offered certificates) with respect to the Certificates, the Trust or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or to correct or supplement any of its provisions

 

A-3-6
 

 

  which may be inconsistent with any other provisions therein or to correct any error;

 

(iii)to change the timing and/or nature of deposits in the Collection Account, the Distribution Accounts or any REO Account; provided that (a) the P&I Advance Date shall in no event be later than the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date and (b) such change shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, 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 Rating Agency with respect to such amendment;

 

(iv)to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to such extent as shall 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 Trust or 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 such amendment) to the effect that (a) such action is necessary or desirable to maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any such tax and (b) such action will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or Companion Holder;

 

(v)to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of Section 5.03(n) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement restricting transfer of the Class R Certificates; provided the Depositor has determined that such change shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, cause the Trust, Trust REMIC or any of the Certificateholders (other than the Transferor) to be subject to a federal tax caused by a Transfer to a Person that is a Disqualified Organization or a Non-U.S. Tax Person;

 

(vi)to revise or add any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other change; provided that the required action shall 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

 

A-3-7
 

 

Confirmation may be considered satisfied with respect to the Certificates pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement);

 

(vii)to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the then-current ratings assigned to each Class of 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 pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement); provided that such amendment or supplement shall 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;

 

(viii)to modify the provisions of Sections 3.05 and 3.17 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (with respect to reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances and Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts) if (a) the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and, for so long as a Control Termination Event has not occurred and is not continuing and with respect to any Mortgage Loans other than any Excluded Loan, 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) each Rating Agency has delivered a Rating Agency Confirmation and, with regard to any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the applicable rating agencies have delivered a confirmation that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then current ratings (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 pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement);

 

(ix)to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that such amendment shall not adversely affect in any material respects the interests of any Certificateholders, as evidenced by (x) an Opinion of Counsel or (y) 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 shall give notice of any such amendment to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the 17g-5 Information

 

A-3-8
 

 

  Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Certificate Administrator shall post such notice to the Certificate Administrator’s Website; or

  

(x)to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to such extent as would 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).

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment (A) may change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller or (B) may materially and adversely affect the holders of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent.

 

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than 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 Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

 

(i)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 the Certificate or which are required to be distributed to a Companion Holder without the consent of such Companion Holder; or

 

(ii)reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or remove the requirement to obtain consent of any Companion Holder without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding or such Companion Holders, as applicable; or

 

(iii)adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of Certificates without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or

 

(iv)change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller; or

 

A-3-9
 

 

(v)amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of 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 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 pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the holder of any AB Subordinate Companion Loan for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Trust Fund or any Trust REMIC, 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.

 

The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon no less than 60 days’ prior written notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class X-D Certificates are retired (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right, with the consent of the Master Servicer, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon

 

A-3-10
 

 

reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.

 

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose. The Certificate Registrar has executed this Certificate on behalf of the Trust as Certificate Registrar under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans.

This certifies that [           ] is the registered owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect to the Class A-4 Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class X-E, Class X-F, Class X-NR, Class A-S, Class B,

Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class NR, Class R and Class Z Certificates (together with the Class A-4 Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

 

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of February 1, 2016 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Credit Suisse Commercial Mortgage Securities Corp., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer, KeyBank National Association, as Master Servicer, and Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

 

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the determination date of each month, commencing in March 2016 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class A-4 Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class A-4 Certificates is the calendar month prior to the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

 

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provided the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent Distribution Dates), or otherwise (b) by

 

A-4-4
 

 

check mailed to such Certificateholder at its address in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

 

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (including any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan replacing a removed Mortgage Loan), together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto (subject to, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the interests of the related Serviced Companion Noteholder in the related Mortgage File); (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut off Date (or with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of substitution); (iii) any REO Property (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein) or the Trust’s beneficial interest in the Mortgaged Property securing a Non Serviced Whole Loan acquired under the related Non-Serviced PSA; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (v) the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s, the Certificate Administrator’s and the Trustee’s rights under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (vi) any Assignment of Leases and any security agreements (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (vii) any letters of credit, indemnities, guaranties or lease enhancement policies given as additional security for any related Mortgage Loans (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (viii) all assets deposited in the Loss of Value Reserve Fund and the Servicing Accounts (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein), amounts on deposit in the Collection Account (to the extent

of the Trust’s interest therein), the Lower Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Upper Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Gain on Sale Reserve Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest in such Gain on Sale Reserve Account) and any REO Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest in such REO Account), including any reinvestment income, as applicable; (ix) any Environmental Indemnity Agreements (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (x) the rights and remedies of the Depositor under each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (to the extent transferred to the Trustee); (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; (xii) the Interest Deposit Amount; and (xiii) the proceeds of the foregoing (other than any interest earned on deposits in the lock box accounts, cash collateral accounts, escrow accounts and any reserve accounts, to the extent such interest belongs to the related Mortgagor).This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator and Trustee.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or, as applicable, any Companion Loan Holder:

(v)to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of Section 5.03(n) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement restricting transfer of the Class R Certificates; provided the Depositor has determined that such change shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, cause the Trust, Trust REMIC or any of the Certificateholders (other than the Transferor) to be subject to a federal tax caused by a Transfer to a Person that is a Disqualified Organization or a Non-U.S. Tax Person;

 

(vi)to revise or add any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other change; provided that the required action shall 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 pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement);

(viii)to modify the provisions of Sections 3.05 and 3.17 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (with respect to reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances and Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts) if (a) the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and, for so long as a Control Termination Event has not occurred and is not continuing and with respect to any Mortgage Loans other than any Excluded Loan, 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) each Rating Agency has delivered a Rating Agency Confirmation and, with regard to any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the applicable rating agencies have delivered a confirmation that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then current ratings (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 pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement);

 

(ix)to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that such amendment shall not adversely affect in any material respects the interests of any Certificateholders, as evidenced by (x) an Opinion of Counsel or (y) 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 shall give notice of any such amendment to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Certificate Administrator shall post such notice to the Certificate Administrator’s Website; or

 

A-4-8
 

 

(x)to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to such extent as would 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).

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment (A) may change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller or (B) may materially and adversely affect the holders of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent.

 

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than 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 Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

 

(i)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 the Certificate or which are required to be distributed to a Companion Holder without the consent of such Companion Holder; or

 

(ii)reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or remove the requirement to obtain consent of any Companion Holder without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding or such Companion Holders, as applicable; or

 

(iii)adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of Certificates without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or

 

(iv)change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller; or

 

(v)amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of 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

 

A-4-9
 

 

 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 pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the holder of any AB Subordinate Companion Loan for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Trust Fund or any Trust REMIC, 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.

 

The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon no less than 60 days’ prior written notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class X-D Certificates are retired (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right, with the consent of the Master Servicer, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21

years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.

 

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

This certifies that [           ] is the registered owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect to the Class A-5 Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-SB,

 

A-5-3
 

 

Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class X-E, Class X-F, Class X-NR, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class NR, Class R and Class Z Certificates (together with the Class A-4 Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

 

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of February 1, 2016 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Credit Suisse Commercial Mortgage Securities Corp., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer, KeyBank National Association, as Master Servicer, and Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

 

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the determination date of each month, commencing in March 2016 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class A-5 Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class A-5 Certificates is the calendar month prior to the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

 

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provided the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in

 

A-5-4
 

 

the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent Distribution Dates), or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder at its address in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

 

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (including any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan replacing a removed Mortgage Loan), together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto (subject to, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the interests of the related Serviced Companion Noteholder in the related Mortgage File); (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut off Date (or with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of substitution); (iii) any REO Property (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein) or the Trust’s beneficial interest in the Mortgaged Property securing a Non Serviced Whole Loan acquired under the related Non-Serviced PSA; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (v) the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s, the Certificate Administrator’s and the Trustee’s rights under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (vi) any Assignment of Leases and any security agreements (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (vii) any letters of credit, indemnities, guaranties or lease enhancement policies given as additional security for any related Mortgage Loans (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (viii) all assets deposited in the Loss of Value Reserve Fund and the Servicing Accounts (to the

 

A-5-5
 

 

extent of the Trust’s interest therein), amounts on deposit in the Collection Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein), the Lower Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Upper Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Gain on Sale Reserve Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest in such Gain on Sale Reserve Account) and any REO Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest in such REO Account), including any reinvestment income, as applicable; (ix) any Environmental Indemnity Agreements (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (x) the rights and remedies of the Depositor under each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (to the extent transferred to the Trustee); (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; (xii) the Interest Deposit Amount; and (xiii) the proceeds of the foregoing (other than any interest earned on deposits in the lock box accounts, cash collateral accounts, escrow accounts and any reserve accounts, to the extent such interest belongs to the related Mortgagor).

 

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator and Trustee.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or, as applicable, any Companion Loan Holder:

(vi)to revise or add any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other change; provided that the required action shall 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

(vii)to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the then-current ratings assigned to each Class of 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 pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement); provided that such amendment or supplement shall 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;

 

(viii)to modify the provisions of Sections 3.05 and 3.17 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (with respect to reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances and Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts) if (a) the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and, for so long as a Control Termination Event has not occurred and is not continuing and with respect to any Mortgage Loans other than any Excluded Loan, 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) each Rating Agency has delivered a Rating Agency Confirmation and, with regard to any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the applicable rating agencies have delivered a confirmation that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then current ratings (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 pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement);

 

(ix)to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that such amendment shall not adversely affect in any material respects the interests of any Certificateholders, as evidenced by (x) an Opinion of Counsel or (y) 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 shall give notice of any such amendment

 

A-5-8
 

 

to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Certificate Administrator shall post such notice to the Certificate Administrator’s Website; or

 

(x)to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to such extent as would 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).

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment (A) may change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller or (B) may materially and adversely affect the holders of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent.

 

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than 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 Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

 

(i)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 the Certificate or which are required to be distributed to a Companion Holder without the consent of such Companion Holder; or

 

(ii)reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or remove the requirement to obtain consent of any Companion Holder without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding or such Companion Holders, as applicable; or

 

(iii)adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of Certificates without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or

 

(iv)change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller; or

 

A-5-9
 

 

(v)amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of 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 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 pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the holder of any AB Subordinate Companion Loan for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Trust Fund or any Trust REMIC, 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.

 

The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon no less than 60 days’ prior written notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class X-D Certificates are retired (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right, with the consent of the Master Servicer, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon

 

A-5-10
 

 

reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.

 

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose. The Certificate Registrar has executed this Certificate on behalf of the Trust as Certificate Registrar under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans.

This certifies that [           ] is the registered owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect to the Class A-SB Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5,

 

A-6-3
 

 

Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class X-E, Class X-F, Class X-NR, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class NR, Class R and Class Z Certificates (together with the Class A-SB Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

 

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of February 1, 2016 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Credit Suisse Commercial Mortgage Securities Corp., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer, KeyBank National Association, as Master Servicer, and Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

 

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the determination date of each month, commencing in March 2016 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class A-SB Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class A-SB Certificates is the calendar month prior to the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

 

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provided the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in

 

A-6-4
 

 

the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent Distribution Dates), or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder at its address in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

 

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (including any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan replacing a removed Mortgage Loan), together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto (subject to, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the interests of the related Serviced Companion Noteholder in the related Mortgage File); (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut off Date (or with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of substitution); (iii) any REO Property (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein) or the Trust’s beneficial interest in the Mortgaged Property securing a Non Serviced Whole Loan acquired under the related Non-Serviced PSA; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (v) the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s, the Certificate Administrator’s and the Trustee’s rights under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (vi) any Assignment of Leases and any security agreements (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (vii) any letters of credit, indemnities, guaranties or lease enhancement policies given as additional security for any related Mortgage Loans (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (viii) all assets deposited in the Loss of Value Reserve Fund and the Servicing Accounts (to the

 

A-6-5
 

 

extent of the Trust’s interest therein), amounts on deposit in the Collection Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein), the Lower Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Upper Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Gain on Sale Reserve Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest in such Gain on Sale Reserve Account) and any REO Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest in such REO Account), including any reinvestment income, as applicable; (ix) any Environmental Indemnity Agreements (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (x) the rights and remedies of the Depositor under each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (to the extent transferred to the Trustee); (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; (xii) the Interest Deposit Amount; and (xiii) the proceeds of the foregoing (other than any interest earned on deposits in the lock box accounts, cash collateral accounts, escrow accounts and any reserve accounts, to the extent such interest belongs to the related Mortgagor).

 

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator and Trustee.

(x)to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to such extent as would 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).

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment (A) may change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller or (B) may materially and adversely affect the holders of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent.

 

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than 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 Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

 

(i)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 the Certificate or which are required to be distributed to a Companion Holder without the consent of such Companion Holder; or

 

(ii)reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or remove the requirement to obtain consent of any Companion Holder without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding or such Companion Holders, as applicable; or

(iv)change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller; or

 

A-6-9
 

 

(v)amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of 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 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 pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the holder of any AB Subordinate Companion Loan for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Trust Fund or any Trust REMIC, 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.

 

The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon no less than 60 days’ prior written notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class X-D Certificates are retired (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right, with the consent of the Master Servicer, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon

 

A-6-10
 

 

reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.

 

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose. The Certificate Registrar has executed this Certificate on behalf of the Trust as Certificate Registrar under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans.

This certifies that [           ] is the registered owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect to the Class X-A Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class X-E, Class X-F, Class X-NR, Class A-S, Class B, Class C,

A-7-3
 

 

Class D, Class E, Class F, Class NR, Class R and Class Z Certificates (together with the Class X-A Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

 

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of February 1, 2016 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Credit Suisse Commercial Mortgage Securities Corp., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer, KeyBank National Association, as Master Servicer, and Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

 

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the determination date of each month, commencing in March 2016 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class X-A Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class X-A Certificates is the calendar month prior to the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

 

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provided the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent Distribution Dates), or otherwise (b) by

 

A-7-4
 

 

check mailed to such Certificateholder at its address in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

 

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (including any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan replacing a removed Mortgage Loan), together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto (subject to, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the interests of the related Serviced Companion Noteholder in the related Mortgage File); (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut off Date (or with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of substitution); (iii) any REO Property (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein) or the Trust’s beneficial interest in the Mortgaged Property securing a Non Serviced Whole Loan acquired under the related Non-Serviced PSA; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (v) the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s, the Certificate Administrator’s and the Trustee’s rights under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (vi) any Assignment of Leases and any security agreements (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (vii) any letters of credit, indemnities, guaranties or lease enhancement policies given as additional security for any related Mortgage Loans (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (viii) all assets deposited in the Loss of Value Reserve Fund and the Servicing Accounts (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein), amounts on deposit in the Collection Account (to the extent

 

A-7-5
 

 

of the Trust’s interest therein), the Lower Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Upper Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Gain on Sale Reserve Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest in such Gain on Sale Reserve Account) and any REO Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest in such REO Account), including any reinvestment income, as applicable; (ix) any Environmental Indemnity Agreements (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (x) the rights and remedies of the Depositor under each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (to the extent transferred to the Trustee); (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; (xii) the Interest Deposit Amount; and (xiii) the proceeds of the foregoing (other than any interest earned on deposits in the lock box accounts, cash collateral accounts, escrow accounts and any reserve accounts, to the extent such interest belongs to the related Mortgagor).

 

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator and Trustee.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.

 

Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, or any agent of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

 

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or, as applicable, any Companion Loan Holder:

 

(i)to correct any defect or ambiguity in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;

 

(ii)to cause the provisions in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to conform or be consistent with or in furtherance of the statements made in the Prospectus (or in an offering document for any related non-offered certificates) with respect to the Certificates, the Trust or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or to correct or supplement any of its provisions

 

A-7-6
 

 

 which may be inconsistent with any other provisions therein or to correct any error;

 

(iii)to change the timing and/or nature of deposits in the Collection Account, the Distribution Accounts or any REO Account; provided that (a) the P&I Advance Date shall in no event be later than the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date and (b) such change shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, 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 Rating Agency with respect to such amendment;

 

(iv)to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to such extent as shall 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 Trust or 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 such amendment) to the effect that (a) such action is necessary or desirable to maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any such tax and (b) such action will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or Companion Holder;

 

(v)to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of Section 5.03(n) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement restricting transfer of the Class R Certificates; provided the Depositor has determined that such change shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, cause the Trust, Trust REMIC or any of the Certificateholders (other than the Transferor) to be subject to a federal tax caused by a Transfer to a Person that is a Disqualified Organization or a Non-U.S. Tax Person;

 

(vi)to revise or add any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other change; provided that the required action shall 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

 Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Certificate Administrator shall post such notice to the Certificate Administrator’s Website; or

 

(x)to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to such extent as would 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).

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment (A) may change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller or (B) may materially and adversely affect the holders of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent.

 

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than 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 Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

 

(i)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 the Certificate or which are required to be distributed to a Companion Holder without the consent of such Companion Holder; or

 

(ii)reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or remove the requirement to obtain consent of any Companion Holder without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding or such Companion Holders, as applicable; or

(iv)change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller; or

 

A-7-9
 

 

(v)amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of 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 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 pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the holder of any AB Subordinate Companion Loan for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Trust Fund or any Trust REMIC, 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.

 

The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon no less than 60 days’ prior written notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class X-D Certificates are retired (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right, with the consent of the Master Servicer, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon

 

A-7-10
 

 

reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.

 

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose. The Certificate Registrar has executed this Certificate on behalf of the Trust as Certificate Registrar under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans.

This certifies that [           ] is the registered owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect to the Class X-B Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency.

A-8-3
 

 

B Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

 

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of February 1, 2016 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Credit Suisse Commercial Mortgage Securities Corp., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer, KeyBank National Association, as Master Servicer, and Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

 

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the determination date of each month, commencing in March 2016 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class X-B Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class X-B Certificates is the calendar month prior to the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

 

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provided the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent Distribution Dates), or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder at its address in the Certificate Register. The final

 

A-8-4
 

 

distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

 

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (including any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan replacing a removed Mortgage Loan), together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto (subject to, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the interests of the related Serviced Companion Noteholder in the related Mortgage File); (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut off Date (or with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of substitution); (iii) any REO Property (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein) or the Trust’s beneficial interest in the Mortgaged Property securing a Non Serviced Whole Loan acquired under the related Non-Serviced PSA; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (v) the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s, the Certificate Administrator’s and the Trustee’s rights under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (vi) any Assignment of Leases and any security agreements (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (vii) any letters of credit, indemnities, guaranties or lease enhancement policies given as additional security for any related Mortgage Loans (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (viii) all assets deposited in the Loss of Value Reserve Fund and the Servicing Accounts (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein), amounts on deposit in the Collection Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein), the Lower Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Upper Tier

 

A-8-5
 

 

REMIC Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Gain on Sale Reserve Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest in such Gain on Sale Reserve Account) and any REO Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest in such REO Account), including any reinvestment income, as applicable; (ix) any Environmental Indemnity Agreements (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (x) the rights and remedies of the Depositor under each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (to the extent transferred to the Trustee); (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; (xii) the Interest Deposit Amount; and (xiii) the proceeds of the foregoing (other than any interest earned on deposits in the lock box accounts, cash collateral accounts, escrow accounts and any reserve accounts, to the extent such interest belongs to the related Mortgagor).

 

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator and Trustee.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.

 

Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, or any agent of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

 

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or, as applicable, any Companion Loan Holder:

 

(i)to correct any defect or ambiguity in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;

 

(ii)to cause the provisions in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to conform or be consistent with or in furtherance of the statements made in the Prospectus (or in an offering document for any related non-offered certificates) with respect to the Certificates, the Trust or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or to correct or supplement any of its provisions which may be inconsistent with any other provisions therein or to correct

(v)to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of Section 5.03(n) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement restricting transfer of the Class R Certificates; provided the Depositor has determined that such change shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, cause the Trust, Trust REMIC or any of the Certificateholders (other than the Transferor) to be subject to a federal tax caused by a Transfer to a Person that is a Disqualified Organization or a Non-U.S. Tax Person;

 

(vi)to revise or add any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other change; provided that the required action shall 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

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment (A) may change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller or (B) may materially and adversely affect the holders of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent.

 

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than 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 Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

(v)amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of 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 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 pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the holder of any AB Subordinate Companion Loan for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Trust Fund or any Trust REMIC, 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.

 

The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon no less than 60 days’ prior written notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class X-D Certificates are retired (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right, with the consent of the Master Servicer, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon

 

A-8-10
 

 

reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.

 

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose. The Certificate Registrar has executed this Certificate on behalf of the Trust as Certificate Registrar under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans.

This certifies that [           ] is the registered owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect to the Class X-D Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-E, Class X-F, Class X-NR, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class NR, Class R and Class Z Certificates (together with the Class X-D Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

 

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of February 1, 2016 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Credit Suisse Commercial Mortgage Securities Corp., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer, KeyBank National Association, as Master Servicer, and Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

 

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the determination date of each month, commencing in March 2016 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class X-D Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest

 

A-8-4 

 

 

Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class X-D Certificates is the calendar month prior to the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

 

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provided the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent Distribution Dates), or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder at its address in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

 

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (including any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan replacing a removed Mortgage Loan), together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto (subject to, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the interests of the related Serviced Companion Noteholder in the related Mortgage File); (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut off Date (or with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date

 

A-8-5 

 

 

in the month of substitution); (iii) any REO Property (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein) or the Trust’s beneficial interest in the Mortgaged Property securing a Non Serviced Whole Loan acquired under the related Non-Serviced PSA; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (v) the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s, the Certificate Administrator’s and the Trustee’s rights under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (vi) any Assignment of Leases and any security agreements (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (vii) any letters of credit, indemnities, guaranties or lease enhancement policies given as additional security for any related Mortgage Loans (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (viii) all assets deposited in the Loss of Value Reserve Fund and the Servicing Accounts (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein), amounts on deposit in the Collection Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein), the Lower Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Upper Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Gain on Sale Reserve Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest in such Gain on Sale Reserve Account) and any REO Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest in such REO Account), including any reinvestment income, as applicable; (ix) any Environmental Indemnity Agreements (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (x) the rights and remedies of the Depositor under each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (to the extent transferred to the Trustee); (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; (xii) the Interest Deposit Amount; and (xiii) the proceeds of the foregoing (other than any interest earned on deposits in the lock box accounts, cash collateral accounts, escrow accounts and any reserve accounts, to the extent such interest belongs to the related Mortgagor).

 

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator and Trustee.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.

 

Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, or any agent of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

(v)to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of Section 5.03(n) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement restricting transfer of the Class R Certificates; provided the Depositor has determined that such change shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, cause the Trust, Trust REMIC or any of the Certificateholders (other than the Transferor) to be subject to a federal tax caused by a Transfer to a Person that is a Disqualified Organization or a Non-U.S. Tax Person;

A-8-9 

 

 

(ix)to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that such amendment shall not adversely affect in any material respects the interests of any Certificateholders, as evidenced by (x) an Opinion of Counsel or (y) 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 shall give notice of any such amendment to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Certificate Administrator shall post such notice to the Certificate Administrator’s Website; or

 

(x)to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to such extent as would 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).

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment (A) may change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller or (B) may materially and adversely affect the holders of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent.

 

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than 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 Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

 

(i)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 the Certificate or which are required to be distributed to a Companion Holder without the consent of such Companion Holder; or

 

(ii)reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or remove the requirement to obtain consent of any Companion Holder without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding or such Companion Holders, as applicable; or

 

(iii)adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of Certificates without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or

 

A-8-10 

 

 

(iv)change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller; or

 

(v)amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of 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 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 pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the holder of any AB Subordinate Companion Loan for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Trust Fund or any Trust REMIC, 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.

 

The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon no less than 60 days’ prior written notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class X-D Certificates are retired (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right, with the consent of the Master Servicer, to exchange all of

 

A-8-11 

 

 

its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.

 

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose. The Certificate Registrar has executed this Certificate on behalf of the Trust as Certificate Registrar under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans.

This certifies that [           ] is the registered owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect to the Class X-E Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class X-F, Class X-NR, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class NR, Class R and Class Z Certificates (together with the Class X-E Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

 

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of February 1, 2016 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Credit Suisse Commercial Mortgage Securities Corp., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer, KeyBank National Association, as Master Servicer, and Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

 

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the determination date of each month, commencing in March 2016 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class X-E Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related

 

A-10-4 

 

 

Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class X-E Certificates is the calendar month prior to the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

 

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provided the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent Distribution Dates), or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder at its address in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

 

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (including any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan replacing a removed Mortgage Loan), together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto (subject to, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the interests of the related Serviced Companion Noteholder in the related Mortgage File); (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans

 

A-10-5 

 

 

due after the Cut off Date (or with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of substitution); (iii) any REO Property (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein) or the Trust’s beneficial interest in the Mortgaged Property securing a Non Serviced Whole Loan acquired under the related Non-Serviced PSA; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (v) the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s, the Certificate Administrator’s and the Trustee’s rights under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (vi) any Assignment of Leases and any security agreements (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (vii) any letters of credit, indemnities, guaranties or lease enhancement policies given as additional security for any related Mortgage Loans (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (viii) all assets deposited in the Loss of Value Reserve Fund and the Servicing Accounts (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein), amounts on deposit in the Collection Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein), the Lower Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Upper Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Gain on Sale Reserve Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest in such Gain on Sale Reserve Account) and any REO Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest in such REO Account), including any reinvestment income, as applicable; (ix) any Environmental Indemnity Agreements (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (x) the rights and remedies of the Depositor under each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (to the extent transferred to the Trustee); (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; (xii) the Interest Deposit Amount; and (xiii) the proceeds of the foregoing (other than any interest earned on deposits in the lock box accounts, cash collateral accounts, escrow accounts and any reserve accounts, to the extent such interest belongs to the related Mortgagor).

 

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator and Trustee.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.

 

Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, or any agent of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

 

A-10-6 

 

 

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or, as applicable, any Companion Loan Holder:

 

(i)to correct any defect or ambiguity in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;

 

(ii)to cause the provisions in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to conform or be consistent with or in furtherance of the statements made in the Prospectus (or in an offering document for any related non-offered certificates) with respect to the Certificates, the Trust or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or to correct or supplement any of its provisions which may be inconsistent with any other provisions therein or to correct any error;

 

(iii)to change the timing and/or nature of deposits in the Collection Account, the Distribution Accounts or any REO Account; provided that (a) the P&I Advance Date shall in no event be later than the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date and (b) such change shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, 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 Rating Agency with respect to such amendment;

 

(iv)to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to such extent as shall 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 Trust or 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 such amendment) to the effect that (a) such action is necessary or desirable to maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any such tax and (b) such action will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or Companion Holder;

 

(v)to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of Section 5.03(n) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement restricting transfer of the Class R Certificates; provided the Depositor has determined that such change shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, cause the Trust, Trust REMIC or any of the Certificateholders (other than the Transferor) to be subject to a federal tax caused by a Transfer to a Person that is a Disqualified Organization or a Non-U.S. Tax Person;

 

A-10-7

(vii)to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the then-current ratings assigned to each Class of 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 pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement); provided that such amendment or supplement shall 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;

 

(viii)to modify the provisions of Sections 3.05 and 3.17 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (with respect to reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances and Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts) if (a) the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and, for so long as a Control Termination Event has not occurred and is not continuing and with respect to any Mortgage Loans other than any Excluded Loan, 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) each Rating Agency has delivered a Rating Agency Confirmation and, with regard to any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the applicable rating agencies have delivered a confirmation that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then current ratings

 

A-10-8 

 

 

  (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 pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement);

 

(ix)to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that such amendment shall not adversely affect in any material respects the interests of any Certificateholders, as evidenced by (x) an Opinion of Counsel or (y) 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 shall give notice of any such amendment to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Certificate Administrator shall post such notice to the Certificate Administrator’s Website; or

 

(x)to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to such extent as would 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).

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment (A) may change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller or (B) may materially and adversely affect the holders of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent.

 

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than 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 Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

 

(i)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 the Certificate or which are required to be distributed to a Companion Holder without the consent of such Companion Holder; or

 

(ii)reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or remove the requirement to obtain consent of any Companion Holder without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding or

 

A-10-9 

 

 

 such Companion Holders, as applicable; or

 

(iii)adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of Certificates without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or

 

(iv)change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller; or

 

(v)amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of 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 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 pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the holder of any AB Subordinate Companion Loan for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Trust Fund or any Trust REMIC, 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.

 

The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon no less than 60 days’ prior written notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This certifies that [           ] is the registered owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect to the Class X-F Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class X-E, Class X-NR, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class NR, Class R and Class Z Certificates (together with the Class X-F Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

 

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of February 1, 2016 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Credit Suisse Commercial Mortgage Securities Corp., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer, KeyBank National Association, as Master Servicer, and Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

 

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the determination date of each month, commencing in March 2016 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class X-F Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related

 

A-11-4
 

 

Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class X-F Certificates is the calendar month prior to the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

 

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provided the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent Distribution Dates), or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder at its address in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

 

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (including any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan replacing a removed Mortgage Loan), together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto (subject to, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the interests of the related Serviced Companion Noteholder in the related Mortgage File); (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans

 

A-11-5
 

 

due after the Cut off Date (or with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of substitution); (iii) any REO Property (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein) or the Trust’s beneficial interest in the Mortgaged Property securing a Non Serviced Whole Loan acquired under the related Non-Serviced PSA; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (v) the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s, the Certificate Administrator’s and the Trustee’s rights under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (vi) any Assignment of Leases and any security agreements (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (vii) any letters of credit, indemnities, guaranties or lease enhancement policies given as additional security for any related Mortgage Loans (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (viii) all assets deposited in the Loss of Value Reserve Fund and the Servicing Accounts (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein), amounts on deposit in the Collection Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein), the Lower Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Upper Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Gain on Sale Reserve Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest in such Gain on Sale Reserve Account) and any REO Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest in such REO Account), including any reinvestment income, as applicable; (ix) any Environmental Indemnity Agreements (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (x) the rights and remedies of the Depositor under each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (to the extent transferred to the Trustee); (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; (xii) the Interest Deposit Amount; and (xiii) the proceeds of the foregoing (other than any interest earned on deposits in the lock box accounts, cash collateral accounts, escrow accounts and any reserve accounts, to the extent such interest belongs to the related Mortgagor).

 

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator and Trustee.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.

 

Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, or any agent of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

 

A-11-6
 

 

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or, as applicable, any Companion Loan Holder:

 

(i)to correct any defect or ambiguity in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;

 

(ii)to cause the provisions in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to conform or be consistent with or in furtherance of the statements made in the Prospectus (or in an offering document for any related non-offered certificates) with respect to the Certificates, the Trust or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or to correct or supplement any of its provisions which may be inconsistent with any other provisions therein or to correct any error;

 

(iii)to change the timing and/or nature of deposits in the Collection Account, the Distribution Accounts or any REO Account; provided that (a) the P&I Advance Date shall in no event be later than the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date and (b) such change shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, 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 Rating Agency with respect to such amendment;

 

(iv)to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to such extent as shall 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 Trust or 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 such amendment) to the effect that (a) such action is necessary or desirable to maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any such tax and (b) such action will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or Companion Holder;

 

(v)to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of Section 5.03(n) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement restricting transfer of the Class R Certificates; provided the Depositor has determined that such change shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, cause the Trust, Trust REMIC or any of the Certificateholders (other than the Transferor) to be subject to a federal tax caused by a Transfer to a Person that is a Disqualified Organization or a Non-U.S. Tax Person;

 

A-11-7
 

 

(vi)to revise or add any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other change; provided that the required action shall 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 pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement);

 

(vii)to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the then-current ratings assigned to each Class of 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 pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement); provided that such amendment or supplement shall 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;

 

(viii)to modify the provisions of Sections 3.05 and 3.17 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (with respect to reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances and Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts) if (a) the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and, for so long as a Control Termination Event has not occurred and is not continuing and with respect to any Mortgage Loans other than any Excluded Loan, 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) each Rating Agency has delivered a Rating Agency Confirmation and, with regard to any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the applicable rating agencies have delivered a confirmation that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then current ratings

 

A-11-8
 

 

(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 pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement);

 

(ix)to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that such amendment shall not adversely affect in any material respects the interests of any Certificateholders, as evidenced by (x) an Opinion of Counsel or (y) 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 shall give notice of any such amendment to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Certificate Administrator shall post such notice to the Certificate Administrator’s Website; or

 

(x)to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to such extent as would 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).

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment (A) may change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller or (B) may materially and adversely affect the holders of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent.

 

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than 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 Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

 

(i)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 the Certificate or which are required to be distributed to a Companion Holder without the consent of such Companion Holder; or

 

(ii)reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or remove the requirement to obtain consent of any Companion Holder without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding or

 

A-11-9
 

 

such Companion Holders, as applicable; or

 

(iii)adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of Certificates without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or

 

(iv)change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller; or

 

(v)amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of 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 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 pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the holder of any AB Subordinate Companion Loan for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Trust Fund or any Trust REMIC, 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.

 

The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon no less than 60 days’ prior written notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

A-11-10
 

 

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class X-D Certificates are retired (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right, with the consent of the Master Servicer, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This certifies that [           ] is the registered owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect to the Class X-NR Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class X-E, Class X-F, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class NR, Class R and Class Z Certificates (together with the Class X-NR Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

 

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of February 1, 2016 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Credit Suisse Commercial Mortgage Securities Corp., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer, KeyBank National Association, as Master Servicer, and Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

 

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the determination date of each month, commencing in March 2016 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class X-NR Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related

 

A-12-4
 

 

Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class X-NR Certificates is the calendar month prior to the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

 

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provided the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent Distribution Dates), or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder at its address in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

 

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (including any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan replacing a removed Mortgage Loan), together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto (subject to, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the interests of the related Serviced Companion Noteholder in the related Mortgage File); (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans

 

A-12-5
 

 

due after the Cut off Date (or with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of substitution); (iii) any REO Property (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein) or the Trust’s beneficial interest in the Mortgaged Property securing a Non Serviced Whole Loan acquired under the related Non-Serviced PSA; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (v) the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s, the Certificate Administrator’s and the Trustee’s rights under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (vi) any Assignment of Leases and any security agreements (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (vii) any letters of credit, indemnities, guaranties or lease enhancement policies given as additional security for any related Mortgage Loans (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (viii) all assets deposited in the Loss of Value Reserve Fund and the Servicing Accounts (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein), amounts on deposit in the Collection Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein), the Lower Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Upper Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Gain on Sale Reserve Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest in such Gain on Sale Reserve Account) and any REO Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest in such REO Account), including any reinvestment income, as applicable; (ix) any Environmental Indemnity Agreements (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (x) the rights and remedies of the Depositor under each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (to the extent transferred to the Trustee); (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; (xii) the Interest Deposit Amount; and (xiii) the proceeds of the foregoing (other than any interest earned on deposits in the lock box accounts, cash collateral accounts, escrow accounts and any reserve accounts, to the extent such interest belongs to the related Mortgagor).

 

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator and Trustee.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.

 

Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, or any agent of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

 

A-12-6
 

 

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or, as applicable, any Companion Loan Holder:

 

(i)to correct any defect or ambiguity in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;

 

(ii)to cause the provisions in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to conform or be consistent with or in furtherance of the statements made in the Prospectus (or in an offering document for any related non-offered certificates) with respect to the Certificates, the Trust or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or to correct or supplement any of its provisions which may be inconsistent with any other provisions therein or to correct any error;

 

(iii)to change the timing and/or nature of deposits in the Collection Account, the Distribution Accounts or any REO Account; provided that (a) the P&I Advance Date shall in no event be later than the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date and (b) such change shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, 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 Rating Agency with respect to such amendment;

 

(iv)to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to such extent as shall 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 Trust or 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 such amendment) to the effect that (a) such action is necessary or desirable to maintain such qualification or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any such tax and (b) such action will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or Companion Holder;

 

(v)to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of Section 5.03(n) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement restricting transfer of the Class R Certificates; provided the Depositor has determined that such change shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, cause the Trust, Trust REMIC or any of the Certificateholders (other than the Transferor) to be subject to a federal tax caused by a Transfer to a Person that is a Disqualified Organization or a Non-U.S. Tax Person;

 

A-12-7
 

 

(vi)to revise or add any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other change; provided that the required action shall 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 pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement);

 

(vii)to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the then-current ratings assigned to each Class of 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 pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement); provided that such amendment or supplement shall 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;

 

(viii)to modify the provisions of Sections 3.05 and 3.17 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (with respect to reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances and Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts) if (a) the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and, for so long as a Control Termination Event has not occurred and is not continuing and with respect to any Mortgage Loans other than any Excluded Loan, 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) each Rating Agency has delivered a Rating Agency Confirmation and, with regard to any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the applicable rating agencies have delivered a confirmation that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then current ratings

 

A-12-8
 

 

(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 pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement);

 

(ix)to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that such amendment shall not adversely affect in any material respects the interests of any Certificateholders, as evidenced by (x) an Opinion of Counsel or (y) 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 shall give notice of any such amendment to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Certificate Administrator shall post such notice to the Certificate Administrator’s Website; or

 

(x)to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to such extent as would 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).

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment (A) may change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller or (B) may materially and adversely affect the holders of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent.

 

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than 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 Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

 

(i)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 the Certificate or which are required to be distributed to a Companion Holder without the consent of such Companion Holder; or

 

(ii)reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or remove the requirement to obtain consent of any Companion Holder without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding or

 

A-12-9
 

 

such Companion Holders, as applicable; or

 

(iii)adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of Certificates without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or

 

(iv)change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller; or

 

(v)amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of 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 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 pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the holder of any AB Subordinate Companion Loan for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Trust Fund or any Trust REMIC, 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.

 

The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon no less than 60 days’ prior written notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

A-12-10
 

 

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class X-D Certificates are retired (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right, with the consent of the Master Servicer, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.

 

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose. The Certificate Registrar has executed this Certificate on behalf of the Trust as Certificate Registrar under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans.

This certifies that [           ] is the registered owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect to the Class A-S Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class X-E, Class X-F, Class X-NR, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class NR, Class R and Class Z Certificates (together with the

 

A-13-3
 

 

Class A-S Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

 

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of February 1, 2016 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Credit Suisse Commercial Mortgage Securities Corp., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer, KeyBank National Association, as Master Servicer, and Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

 

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the determination date of each month, commencing in March 2016 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class A-S Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class A-S Certificates is the calendar month prior to the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

 

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provided the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent Distribution Dates), or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder at its address in the Certificate Register. The final

 

A-13-4
 

 

distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

 

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (including any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan replacing a removed Mortgage Loan), together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto (subject to, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the interests of the related Serviced Companion Noteholder in the related Mortgage File); (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut off Date (or with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of substitution); (iii) any REO Property (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein) or the Trust’s beneficial interest in the Mortgaged Property securing a Non Serviced Whole Loan acquired under the related Non-Serviced PSA; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (v) the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s, the Certificate Administrator’s and the Trustee’s rights under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (vi) any Assignment of Leases and any security agreements (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (vii) any letters of credit, indemnities, guaranties or lease enhancement policies given as additional security for any related Mortgage Loans (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (viii) all assets deposited in the Loss of Value Reserve Fund and the Servicing Accounts (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein), amounts on deposit in the Collection Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein), the Lower Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Upper Tier

 

A-13-5
 

 

REMIC Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Gain on Sale Reserve Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest in such Gain on Sale Reserve Account) and any REO Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest in such REO Account), including any reinvestment income, as applicable; (ix) any Environmental Indemnity Agreements (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (x) the rights and remedies of the Depositor under each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (to the extent transferred to the Trustee); (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; (xii) the Interest Deposit Amount; and (xiii) the proceeds of the foregoing (other than any interest earned on deposits in the lock box accounts, cash collateral accounts, escrow accounts and any reserve accounts, to the extent such interest belongs to the related Mortgagor).

 

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator and Trustee.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.

 

Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, or any agent of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

 

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or, as applicable, any Companion Loan Holder:

 

(i)to correct any defect or ambiguity in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;

 

(ii)to cause the provisions in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to conform or be consistent with or in furtherance of the statements made in the Prospectus (or in an offering document for any related non-offered certificates) with respect to the Certificates, the Trust or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or to correct or supplement any of its provisions which may be inconsistent with any other provisions therein or to correct

any error;

 

(iii)to change the timing and/or nature of deposits in the Collection Account, the Distribution Accounts or any REO Account; provided that (a) the P&I Advance Date shall in no event be later than the Business Day prior to the related Distribution Date and (b) such change shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder, 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 Rating Agency with respect to such amendment;

(v)to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of Section 5.03(n) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement restricting transfer of the Class R Certificates; provided the Depositor has determined that such change shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, cause the Trust, Trust REMIC or any of the Certificateholders (other than the Transferor) to be subject to a federal tax caused by a Transfer to a Person that is a Disqualified Organization or a Non-U.S. Tax Person;

 

(vi)to revise or add any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other change; provided that the required action shall 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

pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement);

(viii)to modify the provisions of Sections 3.05 and 3.17 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (with respect to reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances and Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts) if (a) the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and, for so long as a Control Termination Event has not occurred and is not continuing and with respect to any Mortgage Loans other than any Excluded Loan, 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) each Rating Agency has delivered a Rating Agency Confirmation and, with regard to any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the applicable rating agencies have delivered a confirmation that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then current ratings (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 pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement);

 

(ix)to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that such amendment shall not adversely affect in any material respects the interests of any Certificateholders, as evidenced by (x) an Opinion of Counsel or (y) 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 shall give notice of any such amendment to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(c) of the Pooling and

 

A-13-8
 

 

Servicing Agreement and the Certificate Administrator shall post such notice to the Certificate Administrator’s Website; or

 

(x)to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to such extent as would 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).

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment (A) may change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller or (B) may materially and adversely affect the holders of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent.

 

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than 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 Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

 

(i)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 the Certificate or which are required to be distributed to a Companion Holder without the consent of such Companion Holder; or

 

(ii)reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or remove the requirement to obtain consent of any Companion Holder without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding or such Companion Holders, as applicable; or

 

(iii)adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of Certificates without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or

 

(iv)change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller; or

 

(v)amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each

 

A-13-9
 

 

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 pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the holder of any AB Subordinate Companion Loan for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Trust Fund or any Trust REMIC, 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.

 

The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon no less than 60 days’ prior written notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class X-D Certificates are retired (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right, with the consent of the Master Servicer, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust due to a sale of its property)

 

A-13-10
 

 

pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.

 

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose. The Certificate Registrar has executed this Certificate on behalf of the Trust as Certificate Registrar under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans.

The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class X-E, Class X-F, Class X-NR, Class A-S, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class NR, Class R and Class Z Certificates (together with the Class B Certificates, the

 

A-14-3
 

 

Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

 

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of February 1, 2016 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Credit Suisse Commercial Mortgage Securities Corp., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer, KeyBank National Association, as Master Servicer, and Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

 

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the determination date of each month, commencing in March 2016 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class B Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class B Certificates is the calendar month prior to the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

 

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provided the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent Distribution Dates), or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder at its address in the Certificate Register. The final

 

A-14-4
 

 

distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

 

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (including any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan replacing a removed Mortgage Loan), together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto (subject to, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the interests of the related Serviced Companion Noteholder in the related Mortgage File); (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut off Date (or with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of substitution); (iii) any REO Property (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein) or the Trust’s beneficial interest in the Mortgaged Property securing a Non Serviced Whole Loan acquired under the related Non-Serviced PSA; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (v) the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s, the Certificate Administrator’s and the Trustee’s rights under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (vi) any Assignment of Leases and any security agreements (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (vii) any letters of credit, indemnities, guaranties or lease enhancement policies given as additional security for any related Mortgage Loans (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (viii) all assets deposited in the Loss of Value Reserve Fund and the Servicing Accounts (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein), amounts on deposit in the Collection Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein), the Lower Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Upper Tier

 

A-14-5
 

 

REMIC Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Gain on Sale Reserve Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest in such Gain on Sale Reserve Account) and any REO Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest in such REO Account), including any reinvestment income, as applicable; (ix) any Environmental Indemnity Agreements (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (x) the rights and remedies of the Depositor under each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (to the extent transferred to the Trustee); (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; (xii) the Interest Deposit Amount; and (xiii) the proceeds of the foregoing (other than any interest earned on deposits in the lock box accounts, cash collateral accounts, escrow accounts and any reserve accounts, to the extent such interest belongs to the related Mortgagor).

 

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator and Trustee.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.

 

Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, or any agent of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

 

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or, as applicable, any Companion Loan Holder:

(viii)to modify the provisions of Sections 3.05 and 3.17 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (with respect to reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances and Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts) if (a) the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and, for so long as a Control Termination Event has not occurred and is not continuing and with respect to any Mortgage Loans other than any Excluded Loan, 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) each Rating Agency has delivered a Rating Agency Confirmation and, with regard to any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the applicable rating agencies have delivered a confirmation that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then current ratings (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 pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement);

 

(ix)to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that such amendment shall not adversely affect in any material respects the interests of any Certificateholders, as evidenced by (x) an Opinion of Counsel or (y) 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 shall give notice of any such amendment to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the 17g-5 Information

 

A-14-8
 

 

Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Certificate Administrator shall post such notice to the Certificate Administrator’s Website; or

 

(x)to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to such extent as would 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).

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment (A) may change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller or (B) may materially and adversely affect the holders of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent.

 

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than 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 Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

 

(i)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 the Certificate or which are required to be distributed to a Companion Holder without the consent of such Companion Holder; or

 

(ii)reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or remove the requirement to obtain consent of any Companion Holder without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding or such Companion Holders, as applicable; or

 

(iii)adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of Certificates without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or

 

(iv)change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller; or

 

A-14-9
 

 

(v)amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of 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 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 pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the holder of any AB Subordinate Companion Loan for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Trust Fund or any Trust REMIC, 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.

 

The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon no less than 60 days’ prior written notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class X-D Certificates are retired (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right, with the consent of the Master Servicer, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon

 

A-14-10
 

 

reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.

 

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose. The Certificate Registrar has executed this Certificate on behalf of the Trust as Certificate Registrar under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans.

A-15-3
 

 

Class NR, Class R and Class Z Certificates (together with the Class C Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

 

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of February 1, 2016 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Credit Suisse Commercial Mortgage Securities Corp., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer, KeyBank National Association, as Master Servicer, and Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

 

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the determination date of each month, commencing in March 2016 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class C Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class C Certificates is the calendar month prior to the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

 

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provided the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent Distribution Dates), or otherwise (b) by

 

A-15-4
 

 

check mailed to such Certificateholder at its address in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

 

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

of the Trust’s interest therein), the Lower Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Upper Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Gain on Sale Reserve Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest in such Gain on Sale Reserve Account) and any REO Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest in such REO Account), including any reinvestment income, as applicable; (ix) any Environmental Indemnity Agreements (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (x) the rights and remedies of the Depositor under each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (to the extent transferred to the Trustee); (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; (xii) the Interest Deposit Amount; and (xiii) the proceeds of the foregoing (other than any interest earned on deposits in the lock box accounts, cash collateral accounts, escrow accounts and any reserve accounts, to the extent such interest belongs to the related Mortgagor).

 

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator and Trustee.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.

 

Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, or any agent of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

 

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or, as applicable, any Companion Loan Holder:

A-15-6
 

 

which may be inconsistent with any other provisions therein or to correct any error;

(vi)to revise or add any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other change; provided that the required action shall 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

(viii)to modify the provisions of Sections 3.05 and 3.17 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (with respect to reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances and Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts) if (a) the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and, for so long as a Control Termination Event has not occurred and is not continuing and with respect to any Mortgage Loans other than any Excluded Loan, 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) each Rating Agency has delivered a Rating Agency Confirmation and, with regard to any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the applicable rating agencies have delivered a confirmation that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then current ratings (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 pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement);

 

(ix)to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that such amendment shall not adversely affect in any material respects the interests of any Certificateholders, as evidenced by (x) an Opinion of Counsel or (y) 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 shall give notice of any such amendment to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the 17g-5 Information

 

A-15-8
 

 

Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Certificate Administrator shall post such notice to the Certificate Administrator’s Website; or

 

(x)to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to such extent as would 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).

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment (A) may change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller or (B) may materially and adversely affect the holders of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent.

 

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than 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 Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

 

(i)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 the Certificate or which are required to be distributed to a Companion Holder without the consent of such Companion Holder; or

 

(ii)reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or remove the requirement to obtain consent of any Companion Holder without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding or such Companion Holders, as applicable; or

 

(iii)adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of Certificates without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or

 

(iv)change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller; or

 

A-15-9
 

 

(v)amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of 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 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 pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the holder of any AB Subordinate Companion Loan for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Trust Fund or any Trust REMIC, 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.

 

The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon no less than 60 days’ prior written notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class X-D Certificates are retired (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right, with the consent of the Master Servicer, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon

 

A-15-10
 

 

reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.

 

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose. The Certificate Registrar has executed this Certificate on behalf of the Trust as Certificate Registrar under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans.

This certifies that [           ] is the registered owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect to the Class D Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class X-E, Class X-F, Class X-NR, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class E, Class F, Class NR, Class R and Class Z Certificates (together with the Class D Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

 

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of February 1, 2016 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Credit Suisse Commercial Mortgage Securities Corp., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer, KeyBank National Association, as Master Servicer, and Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

 

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the determination date of each month, commencing in March 2016 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class D Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

A-16-4
 

 

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class D Certificates is the calendar month prior to the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

 

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provided the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent Distribution Dates), or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder at its address in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

 

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

A-16-8
 

 

of Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the applicable rating agencies have delivered a confirmation that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then current ratings (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 pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement);

 

(ix)to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that such amendment shall not adversely affect in any material respects the interests of any Certificateholders, as evidenced by (x) an Opinion of Counsel or (y) 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 shall give notice of any such amendment to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Certificate Administrator shall post such notice to the Certificate Administrator’s Website; or

 

(x)to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to such extent as would 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).

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment (A) may change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller or (B) may materially and adversely affect the holders of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent.

 

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than 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 Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

 

(i)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 the Certificate or which are required to be distributed to a Companion Holder without the consent of such Companion Holder; or

 

(ii)reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of

 

A-16-9
 

 

which are required to consent to any such amendment or remove the requirement to obtain consent of any Companion Holder without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding or such Companion Holders, as applicable; or

 

(iii)adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of Certificates without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or

 

(iv)change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller; or

 

(v)amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of 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 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 pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the holder of any AB Subordinate Companion Loan for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Trust Fund or any Trust REMIC, 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.

 

The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon no less than 60 days’ prior written notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of

 

A-16-10
 

 

the Mortgage Loans and the portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class X-D Certificates are retired (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right, with the consent of the Master Servicer, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.

 

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose. The Certificate Registrar has executed this Certificate on behalf of the Trust as Certificate Registrar under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans.

This certifies that [           ] is the registered owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect to the Class E Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class X-E, Class X-F, Class X-NR, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class F, Class NR, Class R and Class Z Certificates (together with the Class E Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

 

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of February 1, 2016 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Credit Suisse Commercial Mortgage Securities Corp., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer, KeyBank National Association, as Master Servicer, and Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

 

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the determination date of each month, commencing in March 2016 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class E Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related

 

A-17-5
 

 

Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class E Certificates is the calendar month prior to the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

 

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provided the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent Distribution Dates), or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder at its address in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

 

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

(ix)to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that such amendment shall not adversely affect in any material respects the interests of any Certificateholders, as evidenced by (x) an Opinion of Counsel or (y) 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 shall give notice of any such amendment to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Certificate Administrator shall post such notice to the Certificate Administrator’s Website; or

 

(x)to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to such extent as would 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).

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment (A) may change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller or (B) may materially and adversely affect the holders of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent.

 

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than 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 Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

 

(i)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 the Certificate or which are required to be distributed to a Companion Holder without the consent of such Companion Holder; or

 

(ii)reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or remove the requirement to obtain consent of any Companion Holder without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding or

 

A-17-10
 

 

such Companion Holders, as applicable; or

 

(iii)adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of Certificates without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or

 

(iv)change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller; or

 

(v)amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of 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 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 pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the holder of any AB Subordinate Companion Loan for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Trust Fund or any Trust REMIC, 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.

 

The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon no less than 60 days’ prior written notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

A-17-11
 

 

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class X-D Certificates are retired (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right, with the consent of the Master Servicer, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.

 

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose. The Certificate Registrar has executed this Certificate on behalf of the Trust as Certificate Registrar under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans.

This certifies that [           ] is the registered owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect to the Class F Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class X-E, Class X-F, Class X-NR, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class NR, Class R and Class Z Certificates (together with the Class F Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

 

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of February 1, 2016 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Credit Suisse Commercial Mortgage Securities Corp., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer, KeyBank National Association, as Master Servicer, and Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

 

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the determination date of each month, commencing in March 2016 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class F Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

A-18-5
 

 

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class F Certificates is the calendar month prior to the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

 

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provided the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent Distribution Dates), or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder at its address in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

 

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

A-18-9
 

 

of Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the applicable rating agencies have delivered a confirmation that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then current ratings (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 pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement);

 

(ix)to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that such amendment shall not adversely affect in any material respects the interests of any Certificateholders, as evidenced by (x) an Opinion of Counsel or (y) 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 shall give notice of any such amendment to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Certificate Administrator shall post such notice to the Certificate Administrator’s Website; or

 

(x)to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to such extent as would 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).

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment (A) may change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller or (B) may materially and adversely affect the holders of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent.

 

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than 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 Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

 

(i)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 the Certificate or which are required to be distributed to a Companion Holder without the consent of such Companion Holder; or

 

(ii)reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of

 

A-18-10
 

 

which are required to consent to any such amendment or remove the requirement to obtain consent of any Companion Holder without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding or such Companion Holders, as applicable; or

 

(iii)adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of Certificates without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or

 

(iv)change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller; or

 

(v)amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of 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 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 pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the holder of any AB Subordinate Companion Loan for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Trust Fund or any Trust REMIC, 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.

 

The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon no less than 60 days’ prior written notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of

 

A-18-11
 

 

the Mortgage Loans and the portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class X-D Certificates are retired (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right, with the consent of the Master Servicer, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.

 

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose. The Certificate Registrar has executed this Certificate on behalf of the Trust as Certificate Registrar under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans.

This certifies that [           ] is the registered owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect to the Class NR Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class X-E, Class X-F, Class X-NR, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class R and Class Z Certificates (together with the Class NR Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

 

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of February 1, 2016 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Credit Suisse Commercial Mortgage Securities Corp., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer, KeyBank National Association, as Master Servicer, and Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

 

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the determination date of each month, commencing in March 2016 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class NR Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

A-19-5
 

 

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class NR Certificates is the calendar month prior to the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

 

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provided the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent Distribution Dates), or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder at its address in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

 

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

A-19-9
 

 

of Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the applicable rating agencies have delivered a confirmation that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then current ratings (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 pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement);

 

(ix)to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that such amendment shall not adversely affect in any material respects the interests of any Certificateholders, as evidenced by (x) an Opinion of Counsel or (y) 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 shall give notice of any such amendment to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Certificate Administrator shall post such notice to the Certificate Administrator’s Website; or

 

(x)to modify, eliminate or add to any provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to such extent as would 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).

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment (A) may change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller or (B) may materially and adversely affect the holders of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent.

 

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than 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 Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

 

(i)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 the Certificate or which are required to be distributed to a Companion Holder without the consent of such Companion Holder; or

 

(ii)reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of

 

A-19-10
 

 

which are required to consent to any such amendment or remove the requirement to obtain consent of any Companion Holder without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding or such Companion Holders, as applicable; or

 

(iii)adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of Certificates without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or

 

(iv)change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller; or

 

(v)amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of 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 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 pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the holder of any AB Subordinate Companion Loan for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Trust Fund or any Trust REMIC, 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.

 

The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon no less than 60 days’ prior written notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of

 

A-19-11
 

 

the Mortgage Loans and the portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class X-D Certificates are retired (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right, with the consent of the Master Servicer, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.

 

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose. The Certificate Registrar has executed this Certificate on behalf of the Trust as Certificate Registrar under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans.

The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below).

there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class X-E, Class X-F, Class X-NR, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F and Class NR Certificates (together with the Class R Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

 

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of February 1, 2016 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Credit Suisse Commercial Mortgage Securities Corp., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset Representations Reviewer, KeyBank National Association, as Master Servicer, and Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate represents the “residual interest” in two “real estate mortgage investment conduits,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(2) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

 

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the determination date of each month, commencing in March 2016 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of the aggregate amount, if any, allocable to the Class R Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provided the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent Distribution Dates), or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder at its address in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

 

A-20-4
 

 

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (including any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan replacing a removed Mortgage Loan), together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto (subject to, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the interests of the related Serviced Companion Noteholder in the related Mortgage File); (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut off Date (or with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of substitution); (iii) any REO Property (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein) or the Trust’s beneficial interest in the Mortgaged Property securing a Non Serviced Whole Loan acquired under the related Non-Serviced PSA; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (v) the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s, the Certificate Administrator’s and the Trustee’s rights under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (vi) any Assignment of Leases and any security agreements (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (vii) any letters of credit, indemnities, guaranties or lease enhancement policies given as additional security for any related Mortgage Loans (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (viii) all assets deposited in the Loss of Value Reserve Fund and the Servicing Accounts (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein), amounts on deposit in the Collection Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein), the Lower Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Upper Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Gain on Sale Reserve Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest in such Gain on Sale Reserve Account) and any REO Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest in such REO Account), including any reinvestment income, as applicable; (ix) any Environmental Indemnity

Agreements (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (x) the rights and remedies of the Depositor under each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (to the extent transferred to the Trustee); (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; (xii) the Interest Deposit Amount; and (xiii) the proceeds of the foregoing (other than any interest earned on deposits in the lock box accounts, cash collateral accounts, escrow accounts and any reserve accounts, to the extent such interest belongs to the related Mortgagor).

Agreement to such extent as would 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).

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment (A) may change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller or (B) may materially and adversely affect the holders of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent.

 

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than 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 Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

 

(i)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 the Certificate or which are required to be distributed to a Companion Holder without the consent of such Companion Holder; or

 

(ii)reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or remove the requirement to obtain consent of any Companion Holder without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding or such Companion Holders, as applicable; or

(iv)change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller; or

 

(v)amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of 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 securities related to a Companion Loan, if

 

A-20-9
 

 

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 pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the holder of any AB Subordinate Companion Loan for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Trust Fund or any Trust REMIC, 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.

 

The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon no less than 60 days’ prior written notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class X-D Certificates are retired (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right, with the consent of the Master Servicer, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21

The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class X-E, Class X-F, Class X-NR, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class R and Class NR Certificates (together with the Class Z Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

 

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of February 1, 2016 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Credit Suisse Commercial Mortgage Securities Corp., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor and as Asset

Representations Reviewer, KeyBank National Association, as Master Servicer, and Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate represents a beneficial ownership of Excess Interest and the Excess Interest Distribution Account. Each Holder of this Certificate, by acceptance hereof, agrees to treat, and take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, this Certificate in accordance with the preceding sentence for purposes of federal income taxes, state and local income and franchise taxes and other taxes imposed on or measured by income.

 

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the determination date of each month, commencing in March 2016 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount, if any, allocable to the Class Z Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provided the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date (which wiring instructions may be in the form of a standing order applicable to all subsequent Distribution Dates), or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder at its address in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

 

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or

 

A-21-3
 

 

through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, Excess Interest actually collected in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (including any Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan replacing a removed Mortgage Loan), together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto (subject to, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the interests of the related Serviced Companion Noteholder in the related Mortgage File); (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut off Date (or with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of substitution); (iii) any REO Property (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein) or the Trust’s beneficial interest in the Mortgaged Property securing a Non Serviced Whole Loan acquired under the related Non-Serviced PSA; (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (v) the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s, the Certificate Administrator’s and the Trustee’s rights under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (vi) any Assignment of Leases and any security agreements (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (vii) any letters of credit, indemnities, guaranties or lease enhancement policies given as additional security for any related Mortgage Loans (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (viii) all assets deposited in the Loss of Value Reserve Fund and the Servicing Accounts (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein), amounts on deposit in the Collection Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein), the Lower Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Upper Tier REMIC Distribution Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Gain on Sale Reserve Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest in such Gain on Sale Reserve Account) and any REO Account (to the extent of the Trust’s interest in such REO Account), including any reinvestment income, as applicable; (ix) any Environmental Indemnity Agreements (to the extent of the Trust’s interest therein); (x) the rights and remedies of the Depositor under each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (to the extent transferred to the Trustee); (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests; (xii) the Interest Deposit Amount; and (xiii) the proceeds of the foregoing (other than any interest earned on deposits in the lock box accounts, cash collateral accounts, escrow accounts and any reserve accounts, to the extent such interest belongs to the related Mortgagor).

A-21-4
 

 

obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator and Trustee.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.

(vi)to revise or add any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other change; provided that the required action shall 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 pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement);

 

(vii)to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the then-current ratings assigned to each Class of 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 pursuant to Section

3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement); provided that such amendment or supplement shall 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;

 

(viii)to modify the provisions of Sections 3.05 and 3.17 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (with respect to reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances and Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts) if (a) the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Trustee and, for so long as a Control Termination Event has not occurred and is not continuing and with respect to any Mortgage Loans other than any Excluded Loan, 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) each Rating Agency has delivered a Rating Agency Confirmation and, with regard to any class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities, the applicable rating agencies have delivered a confirmation that such action will not result in the downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of its then current ratings (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 pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement);

 

(ix)to modify the procedures of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to compliance with Rule 17g-5 of the Exchange Act; provided that such amendment shall not adversely affect in any material respects the interests of any Certificateholders, as evidenced by (x) an Opinion of Counsel or (y) 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 shall give notice of any such amendment to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 3.13(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Certificate Administrator shall post such notice to the Certificate Administrator’s Website; or

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment (A) may change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller or (B) may materially

and adversely affect the holders of a Companion Loan without such Companion Holder’s consent.

 

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the parties thereto with the consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class affected by such amendment evidencing in the aggregate not less than 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 Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Certificates of such Class; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

 

(i)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 the Certificate or which are required to be distributed to a Companion Holder without the consent of such Companion Holder; or

 

(ii)reduce the aforesaid percentage of Certificates of any Class the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or remove the requirement to obtain consent of any Companion Holder without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding or such Companion Holders, as applicable; or

 

(iii)adversely affect the Voting Rights of any Class of Certificates without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of such Class then outstanding; or

 

(iv)change in any manner any defined term used in any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or the obligations of any Mortgage Loan Seller under such Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or otherwise or change any rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller as a third party beneficiary under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without the consent of such Mortgage Loan Seller; or

 

(v)amend the Servicing Standard without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders or receipt of 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 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 pursuant to Section 3.25 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and, if required under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the consent of the holder of any AB Subordinate Companion Loan for each Serviced AB Whole Loan.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer nor the

 

A-21-8
 

 

Special Servicer will be required to consent to any amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement without having first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the Trust’s expense) to the effect that such amendment is permitted under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and that such amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Asset Representations Reviewer or any other specified person in accordance with such amendment will not result in the imposition of a tax on any portion of the Trust Fund or any Trust REMIC, 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.

 

The Holders of the majority of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates may, in that order of priority, at their option, upon no less than 60 days’ prior written notice given to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and each of the other parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, elect to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans (and all property acquired through exercise of remedies in respect of any related Mortgage Loan) and the Trust’s portion of each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund, and thereby effect termination of the Trust and early retirement of the then-outstanding Certificates, only on or after the first Distribution Date on which the aggregate Stated Principal Balances of the Mortgage Loans and the portion of any REO Loans held by the Trust is less than 1.0% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Following the date on which the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class X-D Certificates are retired (and provided that there is only one Holder (or multiple Holders acting in unanimity) of the then-outstanding Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates)), the Sole Certificateholder shall have the right, with the consent of the Master Servicer, to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

The obligations created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust created thereby (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make payments to Certificateholders as provided for in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), shall terminate upon reduction of the Certificate Balances of all the Certificates to zero (including, without limitation, any such final payment resulting from a termination of the Trust due to a sale of its property) pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event, however, will the Trust created by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date hereof.

 

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose. The Certificate Registrar has executed this Certificate on behalf of the Trust as Certificate Registrar under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans.

Re:Transfer of CSAIL 2016-C5 Commercial Mortgage Trust, Commercial Mortgage Pass Through Certificates, Series 2016-C5

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

This letter is delivered pursuant to Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of February 1, 2016 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Credit Suisse Commercial Mortgage Securities Corp., as Depositor, KeyBank National Association, as Master Servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Asset Representations Reviewer and as Operating Advisor, on behalf of the holders of CSAIL 2016-C5 Commercial Mortgage Trust, Commercial Mortgage Pass Through Certificates, Series 2016-C5 (the “Certificates”) in connection with the transfer by _________________ (the “Seller”) to the undersigned (the “Purchaser”) of $_______________ aggregate Certificate Balance of Class ___ Certificates (the “Certificate”). Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

In connection with such transfer, the Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to you and the addressees hereof as follows:

 

1.          Check one of the following:*

 

          The Purchaser is not purchasing a Class R Certificate and the Purchaser is an institution that is an “accredited investor” (an “Institutional Accredited Investor”) within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or any entity in which all of the equity owners come within such paragraphs and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the

 

 

 

* Purchaser must include one of the following two certifications. 

 

Exhibit C-1 

 

 

merits and risks of its investment in the Certificates, and the Purchaser and any accounts for which it is acting are each able to bear the economic risk of the Purchaser’s or such account’s investment. The Purchaser is acquiring the Certificates purchased by it for its own account or for one or more accounts, each of which is an Institutional Accredited Investor, as to each of which the Purchaser exercises sole investment discretion. The Purchaser hereby undertakes to reimburse the Trust Fund for any costs incurred by it in connection with this transfer.

 

          The Purchaser is a “qualified institutional buyer” (a “QIB”) within the meaning of Rule 144A (“Rule 144A”) under the Securities Act. The Purchaser is aware that the transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, and the Purchaser has had the opportunity to obtain the information required to be provided pursuant to paragraph (d)(4)(i) of Rule 144A.

 

2.          The Purchaser’s intention is to acquire the Certificate (a) for investment for the Purchaser’s own account or (b) for reoffer, resale, pledge or other transfer (i) to QIBs in transactions under Rule 144A, and not in any event with the view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof, or (ii) (other than with respect to a Class R Certificate) to Institutional Accredited Investors, subject in the case of clause (ii) above to (w) the receipt by the Certificate Registrar of a letter substantially in the form hereof, (x) the receipt by the Certificate Registrar of an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Trustee and Certificate Registrar that such reoffer, resale, pledge or transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act, (y) the receipt by the Certificate Registrar of such other evidence acceptable to the Certificate Registrar that such reoffer, resale, pledge or transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act and other applicable laws and (z) a written undertaking to reimburse the Trust Fund for any costs incurred by it in connection with the proposed transfer. The Purchaser understands that the Certificate (and any subsequent Certificate) has not been registered under the Securities Act, by reason of a specified exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the Purchaser’s investment intent (or intent to reoffer, resell, pledge or transfer the Certificate only to certain investors in certain exempted transactions) as expressed herein.

 

3.          The Purchaser has reviewed the Prospectus relating to the Offered Certificates (collectively, the “Prospectus”) (and, with respect to Offered Private Certificates, the Preliminary Private Placement Memorandum and the Final Private Placement Memorandum related to such Offered Private Certificates) and the agreements and other materials referred to therein and has had the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Prospectus.

 

4.          The Purchaser acknowledges that the Certificate (and any Certificate issued on transfer or exchange thereof) has not been registered or qualified under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any State or any other jurisdiction, and that the Certificate cannot be reoffered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred unless it is registered or qualified thereunder or unless an exemption from such registration or qualification is available.

 

Exhibit C-2 

 

 

5.          The Purchaser hereby undertakes to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in its capacity as an owner of a Certificate or Certificates, as the case may be (each, a “Certificateholder”), in all respects as if it were a signatory thereto. This undertaking is made for the benefit of the Trust, the Certificate Registrar and all Certificateholders present and future.

 

6.          The Purchaser will not sell or otherwise transfer any portion of the Certificate or Certificates, except in compliance with Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

7.          Check one of the following:**

 

          The Purchaser is a U.S. Tax Person (as defined below) and it has attached hereto an Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-9 (or successor form).

 

          The Purchaser is not a U.S. Tax Person and under applicable law in effect on the date hereof, no taxes will be required to be withheld by the Certificate Registrar (or its agent) with respect to distributions to be made on the Certificate. The Purchaser has attached hereto [(i) a duly executed IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or successor form, as applicable), which identifies such Purchaser as the beneficial owner of the Certificate and states that such Purchaser is not a U.S. Tax Person, (ii) IRS Form W-8IMY (with all appropriate attachments) or (iii)]*** two duly executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI (or successor form), which identify such Purchaser as the beneficial owner of the Certificate and state that interest and original issue discount on the Certificate and Permitted Investments is, or is expected to be, effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business. The Purchaser agrees to provide to the Certificate Registrar updated [IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, IRS Form W-8IMY or]*** IRS Form W-8ECI, [as the case may be,]*** any applicable successor IRS forms, or such other certifications as the Certificate Registrar may reasonably request, on or before the date that any such IRS form or certification expires or becomes obsolete, or promptly after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent IRS form of certification furnished by it to the Certificate Registrar.

 

For purposes of this paragraph 7, “U.S. Tax Person” means a citizen or resident of the United States, a corporation or partnership (except to the extent provided in applicable Treasury Regulations) or other entity created or organized in, or under the laws of, the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, including any entity treated as a corporation or partnership for federal income tax purposes, an estate whose income is subject to United States federal income tax regardless of its source 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. Tax Persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of such trust (or, to the extent provided in applicable Treasury Regulations, certain trusts in existence on August 20, 1996 that have elected to be treated as U.S. Tax Persons).

 

 

 

** Each Purchaser must include one of the two alternative certifications.

 

*** Does not apply to a transfer of Class R Certificates.

  )          ss.:  
COUNTY OF )  

 

I, [______], under penalties of perjury, declare that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, the following representations are true, correct and complete, and being first sworn, depose and say that:

 

1.          I am a [______] of [______] (the “Purchaser”), on behalf of which I have the authority to make this affidavit.

 

2.          The Purchaser is acquiring Class R Certificates representing [__]% of the residual interest in each of the real estate mortgage investment conduits (each, a “REMIC”) designated as the (i)  “Lower-Tier REMIC” and (ii) “Upper-Tier REMIC”, respectively, relating to the Certificates for which an election is to be made under Section 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”).

 

3.          The Purchaser is not a Disqualified Organization (as defined below), and that the Purchaser is not acquiring the Class R Certificates for the account of, or as agent or nominee of, or with a view to the transfer of direct or indirect record or beneficial ownership thereof, to a Disqualified Organization. For the purposes hereof, a “Disqualified Organization” is any of the following: (i) the United States, any State or political subdivision thereof, any possession of the United States or any agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing (other than an instrumentality which is a corporation if all of its activities are subject to tax and a majority of its board of directors is not selected by such governmental unit), (ii) a foreign

government, any international organization or any agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing, (iii) any organization (other than certain farmers’ cooperatives described in Section 521 of the Code) which is exempt from the tax imposed by Chapter 1 of the Code (including the tax imposed by Section 511 of the Code on unrelated business taxable income) on any excess inclusions (as defined in Section 860E(c)(1) of the Code) with respect to the Class R Certificates (except certain farmers’ cooperatives described in Section 521 of the Code), (iv) rural electric and telephone cooperatives described in Section 1381(a)(2)(C) of the Code, (v) an “electing large partnership”, as defined in Section 775 of the Code and (vi) any other Person so designated by the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator based upon an Opinion of Counsel as provided to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator (at no expense to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator) that the holding of an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate by such Person may cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Certificates are outstanding or any Person having an Ownership Interest in any Class of Certificates (other than such Person) to incur a liability for any federal tax imposed under the Code that would not otherwise be imposed but for the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate to such Person. The terms “United States,” “State” and “international organization” shall have the meanings set forth in Section 7701 of the Code or successor provisions.

 

4.          The Purchaser acknowledges that Section 860E(e) of the Code would impose a substantial tax on the transferor or, in certain circumstances, on an agent for the transferee, with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Class R Certificates to a Disqualified Organization.

 

5.          The Purchaser is a Permitted Transferee and, to the extent applicable, the Purchaser’s U.S. taxpayer identification number is [__________].

 

6.          No purpose of the acquisition of the Class R Certificates is to impede the assessment or collection of tax.

 

7.          The Purchaser will not cause income from the Class R Certificate to be attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty, of the Purchaser or any other person.

 

8.          Check the applicable paragraph:

 

☐         The present value of the anticipated tax liabilities associated with holding the Class R Certificate, as applicable, does not exceed the sum of:

 

(i)         the present value of any consideration given to the Purchaser to acquire such Class R Certificate;

 

(ii)        the present value of the expected future distributions on such Class R Certificate; and

 

(iii)       the present value of the anticipated tax savings associated with holding such Class R Certificate as the related REMIC generates losses.

 

Exhibit D-1-2 

 

 

For purposes of this calculation, (i) the Purchaser is assumed to pay tax at the highest rate currently specified in Section 11(b) of the Code (but the tax rate in Section 55(b)(1)(B) of the Code may be used in lieu of the highest rate specified in Section 11(b) of the Code if the Purchaser has been subject to the alternative minimum tax under Section 55 of the Code in the preceding two years and will compute its taxable income in the current taxable year using the alternative minimum tax rate) and (ii) present values are computed using a discount rate equal to the short-term Federal rate prescribed by Section 1274(d) of the Code for the month of the transfer and the compounding period used by the Purchaser.

 

☐         The transfer of the Class R Certificate complies with U.S. Treasury Regulations Sections 1.860E-1(c)(5) and (6) and, accordingly,

 

(i)         the Purchaser is an “eligible corporation,” as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), as to which income from the Class R Certificate will only be taxed in the United States;

 

(ii)        at the time of the transfer, and at the close of the Purchaser’s two fiscal years preceding the year of the transfer, the Purchaser had gross assets for financial reporting purposes (excluding any obligation of a person related to the Purchaser within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(ii)) in excess of $100 million and net assets in excess of $10 million;

 

(iii)       the Purchaser will transfer the Class R Certificate only to another “eligible corporation,” as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), in a transaction that satisfies the requirements of Sections 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i), (ii) and (iii) and Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(5); and

 

(iv)       the Purchaser determined the consideration paid to it to acquire the Class R Certificate based on reasonable market assumptions (including, but not limited to, borrowing and investment rates, prepayment and loss assumptions, expense and reinvestment assumptions, tax rates and other factors specific to the Purchaser) that it has determined in good faith.

 

☐         None of the above.

Re:          CSAIL 2016-C5 Commercial Mortgage Trust, Commercial Mortgage Pass Through Certificates, Series 2016-C5 (the “Certificates”)          

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

This letter is delivered to you in connection with the transfer by [______] (the “Transferor”) to [______] (the “Transferee”) of Class R Certificates evidencing a [__]% Percentage Interest in such Class (the “Residual Certificates”). The Certificates, including the Residual Certificates, were issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of February 1, 2016 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Credit Suisse Commercial Mortgage Securities Corp., as Depositor, KeyBank National Association, as Master Servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Asset Representations Reviewer and as Operating Advisor. All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Transferor hereby certifies, represents and warrants to you, as Certificate Registrar, that:

 

(1)          No purpose of the Transferor relating to the transfer of the Residual Certificates by the Transferor to the Transferee is or will be to impede the assessment or collection of any tax.

 

(2)          The Transferor understands that the Transferee has delivered to you a Transferee Affidavit and Agreement in the form attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as Exhibit D-1. The Transferor does not know or believe that any representation contained therein is false.

 

(3)          The Transferor has at the time of this transfer conducted a reasonable investigation of the financial condition of the Transferee as contemplated by Treasury regulation Section 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i) and, as a result of that investigation, the Transferor has determined that the Transferee has historically paid its debts as they became due and has found no significant evidence to indicate that the Transferee will not continue to pay its debts as they become due in the future. The Transferor understands that the transfer of the Residual Certificates may not be respected for United States income tax purposes (and the Transferor may continue to be liable

for United States income taxes associated therewith) unless the Transferor has conducted such an investigation.

     ____________________

 

Exhibit U-1
 

 

Reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement described above. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

As Servicer under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, we hereby:

 

(a)         Notify you that the Mortgagor has consummated a defeasance of the Mortgage Loan pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan, of the type checked below:

 

____ a full defeasance of the entire principal balance of the Mortgage Loan; or

 

____ a partial defeasance of a portion of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan that represents and, an allocated loan amount of $____________ or _______% of the entire principal balance of the Mortgage Loan;

 

(b)         Certify that each of the following is true, subject to those exceptions set forth with explanatory notes on Exhibit A hereto, which exceptions the Master Servicer has determined, consistent with the Servicing Standards, will have no material adverse effect on the Mortgage Loan or the defeasance transaction:

 

(i)          The Mortgage Loan documents permit the defeasance, and the terms and conditions for defeasance specified therein were satisfied in all material respects in completing the defeasance.

 

(ii)         The defeasance was consummated on __________, 20__.

 

(iii)        The defeasance collateral consists of securities that (i) constitute “government securities” as defined in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 as amended (15 U.S.C. 80A1), (ii) are listed as “Qualified Investments for ‘AAA’ Financings” under Paragraphs 1, 2 or 3 of “Cash Flow Approach” in Standard & Poor’s Public Finance Criteria 2000, as amended to the date of the defeasance, (iii) if they include a principal obligation, the principal due at maturity cannot vary or change, and (iv) are not subject to prepayment, call or early redemption.

 

(iv)        The Master Servicer received an opinion of counsel (from counsel approved by the Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard) that the defeasance will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event.

 

(v)         The Master Servicer determined that the defeasance collateral will be owned by an entity (the “Defeasance Obligor”) that is a Single-Purpose Entity (as defined in Standard & Poor’s Structured Finance Ratings Real Estate Finance Criteria, as amended to the date of the defeasance (the “S&P Criteria”)) or is subject to restrictions in its organizational documents substantially similar to those contained in the organization documents of the original Borrower with respect to bankruptcy remoteness and single purpose as of the date of the defeasance, and after the defeasance owns no assets other than the defeasance collateral and real property securing Mortgage Loans included in the pool.

 

Exhibit U-2
 

 

(vi)        The defeasance documents require the crediting of the defeasance collateral to an Eligible Account (as defined in the S&P Criteria) in the name of the Trustee on behalf of the Trust, which account is maintained as a securities account by a securities intermediary and has been pledged to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust.

 

(vii)       The agreements executed in connection with the defeasance (i) grant control of the pledged securities account to Trustee on behalf of the Trust, (ii) require the securities intermediary to make the scheduled payments on the Mortgage Loan from the proceeds of the defeasance collateral directly to the Master Servicer’s collection account in the amounts and on the dates specified in the Mortgage Loan documents or, in a partial defeasance, the portion of such scheduled payments attributed to the allocated loan amount for the real property defeased, increased by any defeasance premium specified in the Mortgage Loan documents (the “Scheduled Payments”), (iii) permit reinvestment of proceeds of the defeasance collateral only in Permitted Investments (as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or as defined in the documents evidencing the defeasance), (iv) permit release of surplus defeasance collateral and earnings on reinvestment from the pledged securities account only after the Mortgage Loan has been paid in full, if any such release is permitted, (v) prohibit transfers by the Defeasance Obligor of the defeasance collateral and subordinate liens against the defeasance collateral, and (vi) provide for payment from sources other than the defeasance collateral or other assets of the Defeasance Obligor of all fees and expenses of the securities intermediary for administering the defeasance and the securities account and all fees and expenses of maintaining the existence of the Defeasance Obligor.

 

(viii)      The Master Servicer received written confirmation from a firm of independent certified public accountants, who were approved by the Master Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard stating that (i) revenues from the defeasance collateral (without taking into account any earnings on reinvestment of such revenues) will be sufficient to timely pay each of the Scheduled Payments after the defeasance including the payment in full of the Mortgage Loan (or the allocated portion thereof in connection with a partial defeasance) on its Maturity Date (or, in the case of an ARD Loan, on its Anticipated Repayment Date), (ii) the revenues received in any month from the defeasance collateral will be applied to make Scheduled Payments within four (4) months after the date of receipt, and (iii) interest income from the defeasance collateral to the Defeasance Obligor in any calendar or fiscal year will not exceed such Defeasance Obligor’s interest expense for the Mortgage Loan (or the allocated portion thereof in a partial defeasance) for such year.

 

(ix)         The Mortgage Loan is not among the ten (10) largest loans in the pool as of the date of the Current Report (as defined below). The entire principal balance of the Mortgage Loan as of the date of defeasance was less than both $[______] and five percent of pool balance, which is less than [__]% of the aggregate Certificate Balance of the Certificates as of the date of the most recent Statement to Certificateholders received by us (the “Current Report”).

 

Exhibit U-3
 

 

(x)         The Master Servicer has received opinions of counsel stating that the Trustee on behalf of the Trust possesses a valid, perfected first priority security interest in the defeasance collateral and that the documents executed in connection with the defeasance are enforceable in accordance with their respective terms.

 

(c)         Certify that Exhibit B hereto is a list of the material agreements, instruments, organizational documents for the Defeasance Obligor, and opinions of counsel and independent accountants executed and delivered in connection with the defeasance.

 

(d)         Certify that the individual under whose hand the Master Servicer has caused this Notice and Certification to be executed did constitute a Servicing Officer as of the date of the defeasance described above.

 

(e)         Agree to provide copies of all items listed in Exhibit B to you upon request.

The Special Servicer has notified the Operating Advisor that [·] Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans were transferred to special servicing in the prior calendar year [INSERT YEAR].

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 operational activities to service certain Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans in accordance with the Servicing Standard. Based on such limited review, the Operating Advisor [does, does not] believe there are material violations of the Special Servicer’s compliance with its obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In addition, the Operating Advisor notes the following: [PROVIDE SUMMARY OF ANY ADDITIONAL MATERIAL INFORMATION].

 

 

 

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.

 

Exhibit V-1
 

 

In connection with the assessment set forth in this report, the Operating Advisor:

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 calculations) related to the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans should be considered a limited investigation and not be considered a full or limited audit. For instance, we did not review each page of the Special Servicer’s policy and procedure manuals (including amendments and appendices), 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 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.

 

Specific Items of Review

 

The Operating Advisor reviewed the following items in connection with the generation of this report: [LIST MATERIAL ITEMS].

 

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 Mortgage Loans: [LIST].

Re:Access to Certain Information Regarding CSAIL 2016-C5 Commercial Mortgage Trust, Commercial Mortgage Pass Through Certificates, Series 2016-C5

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

Reference is hereby made to that certain Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of February 1, 2016 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among the Credit Suisse Commercial Mortgage Securities Corp., as Depositor, KeyBank National Association, as Master Servicer, Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Asset Representations Reviewer, and Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor. Defined terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

KeyBank National Association (“_____”)/ Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC (“_____”)] understands that [____] (the “Company”) is requesting certain confidential or non-public information relating to the Mortgage Loans to which the Company has continuing rights as a Certificateholder. The

 

Exhibit X-1
 

 

[_____] [__], 20[__]
Page 2

  

Company is requesting such information for the purpose of analyzing asset performance and evaluating any continuing rights the Company may have under the Trust (the “Permitted Purpose”). The Company agrees that the Permitted Purpose shall not include the use or disclosure of the Confidential Information (as defined below) in any manner that violates any applicable law, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the related mortgage loan documents.

 

(“_____”) will provide the Company with certain confidential, non-public servicing information (the “Confidential Information”) pertaining to the Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgaged Properties and borrowers. The Company acknowledges that the Confidential Information (a) includes or may be based upon information provided to (“_____”) by third parties, (b) may not have been verified by (“_____”), and (c) may be incomplete or contain inaccuracies. The Company agrees that (“_____”), the [“Master Servicer”/”Special Servicer”] (as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and their respective Representatives (as defined below) shall not have any liability to the Company or its Representatives resulting from (x) any inaccuracies or omissions in the Confidential Information, (y) any use of the Confidential Information, or (z) (“_____”)’s failure or inability to provide the Confidential Information to the Company for any reason. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following will not constitute “Confidential Information” for purposes of this letter agreement: (a) information that was already in Company’s possession prior to its receipt from (“_____”); (b) information that is obtained by Company from a third person who, insofar as is known to Company, is not prohibited from transmitting the information to Company by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation to (“_____”); (c) information that is or becomes publicly available through no fault of Company; and (d) information that is independently developed by Company. The term “Representatives” with respect to any entity shall mean the officers, directors, general partners, employees, agents, affiliates, auditors and legal counsel (which may be internal counsel) of that entity.

 

The Company may have access to the Confidential Information through (at (“_____”)’s election): (i) responses to reasonable written inquiries received from the Company, (ii) conference calls conducted on a reasonably scheduled basis with (“_____”)’s surveillance group, or (iii) direct on-line access (read-only capacity) to the information available on the applicable [____] system or any successor or replacement system (“System”). (“_____”) may cease or defer providing the Company with Confidential Information in the event that (a) the Company or its Representatives violate any provision hereof, or (b) (“_____”) determines (in its sole discretion) that such termination is necessary for any reason, including its determination that such action is required pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the related Mortgage Loan documents, or any applicable law. (“_____”) shall cease to provide the Company with Confidential Information if (“_____”) has actual knowledge that the Company or its Representatives are affiliates of any borrower under the Mortgage Loan documents and (“_____”) determines that the provision, notice or access to such Confidential Information would violate the accepted servicing practices or servicing standards as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Company’s obligations and the restrictions applicable to the protection of the Confidential Information hereunder shall survive the termination of the Company’s access to the Confidential Information. (“_____”)’s remedies hereunder, at law or at equity, are cumulative and may be combined.

 

The Company agrees that it will not, and it shall not permit its Representatives, to disclose the Confidential Information in any manner whatsoever to any other person or entity, other than its

 

Exhibit X-2
 

 

[_____] [__], 20[__]
Page 3

  

Representatives (but only to the extent necessary to accomplish the Permitted Purpose) who have a need to know the information, or as otherwise required by applicable law, court order or any governmental agency or regulator. The Company acknowledges (i) its obligations under the U.S. federal securities laws, and (ii) that any disclosure of the Confidential Information by it or its Representatives for any purpose other than a Permitted Purpose, in addition to being a breach of this letter agreement, may constitute a violation of federal and state securities laws. The Company will take reasonable measures to ensure that each Representative is advised of this letter agreement and agrees to keep the Confidential Information confidential. The Company shall be liable for any breach of this letter agreement by its Representatives. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may subsequently provide all or any part of such Confidential Information to any other person or entity that holds or is contemplating the purchase of any Certificate or interest therein, but only if such person or entity confirms such ownership interest or prospective ownership interest and provided that, prior to the delivery of such Confidential Information, such persons shall have executed and delivered to the Company an agreement that is substantially similar in form and substance to this Agreement.

 

This letter agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without the application of conflict of laws principles. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (“_____”) intends at all times to comply with the terms and provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and nothing in this letter agreement should be construed to limit or qualify any of (“_____”)’s rights or obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. This letter agreement may be executed in counterparts and by facsimile/Portable Document Format (PDF); each such counterpart shall be deemed to be an original instrument, and all such counterparts together shall constitute one agreement.

 

This agreement shall terminate with respect to the information received by the Company one year after the Company receives such information or ceases to be a Certificateholder. Company agrees that this letter agreement supersedes and replaces and survives any click-through agreement regarding confidentiality of Confidential Information agreed to in connection with accessing the System whether agreed to in accessing the System before or after signing this letter agreement.

ASSET REVIEW PROCEDURES

 

This Exhibit sets forth Asset Reviewer’s review procedures for each Delinquent Mortgage Loan [item/representation category] listed below based on the Servicing File delivered by the Master Servicer and/or Special Servicer as applicable for an Asset Review. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement. [Review Procedures to be Negotiated with Operating Advisor for Securitization Transaction]

 

Exhibit QQ-1
 

ASSET REVIEW PROCEDURES

 

Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Asset Representations Reviewer (“ARR”) shall perform an Asset Review with respect to each representation and warranty made by the related Mortgage Loan Seller only with respect to each Delinquent Loan in accordance with the procedures set forth below (each such procedure, a “Test”). Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein have the meaning set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or, solely with respect to a representation and warranty, the meaning set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, in connection with the performance of the following Tests:

 

(A)With respect to any representation and warranty that includes a knowledge qualifier (e.g., to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, etc.), the ARR shall not be responsible for any investigation or review beyond that set forth in the applicable Test related to such representation and warranty;

 

(B)With respect to any representation and warranty that includes the examination of an insurance policy or Title Policy, the ARR will be permitted to engage a qualified consultant (at the ARR’s own expense) to perform a review of the applicable policy, and will be allowed to rely upon the conclusions of the consultant when making a determination as to whether there is a Test pass.

 

(C)The ARR shall be under no duty to provide or obtain a legal opinion, legal review or legal conclusion;

 

(D)Unless otherwise provided in the Test, the “as of” date for the testing of a representation is as of the Closing Date;

 

(E)Unless otherwise provided in the Test, if there is more than one version of the same document with respect to a particular Mortgage Loan or Mortgaged Property, the document that will be used by the ARR in testing is the document that is dated as of the Closing Date or, if none, the document closest prior to the Closing Date;

 

(F)With respect to each representation and warranty and its related Test(s), the ARR shall take into account any exceptions to such representation and warranty described in a Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement with respect to a Mortgage Loan, and a Test pass shall be deemed to have occurred with respect to such Test if the sole reason for not satisfying the applicable Test is caused by such exception(s); and

 

(G)A failure of a Test could result from (i) an affirmative determination by the ARR that the Test failed to achieve a Test pass, or (ii) a determination by the ARR that the documentation included in the Review Materials is not sufficient to perform the Test after the application of [Section 12.01(b)(vii)], if applicable.

 

(H)A determination by the ARR of a Test pass or a Test failure shall not constitute a determination by the ARR of (i) the existence or nonexistence of a Material Defect, or (ii) whether the Trust should enforce any rights it may have against the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller.

 

The ARR will only be required to perform the Tests described in this Exhibit QQ, and will not be obligated to perform additional procedures on any Delinquent Loan. Notwithstanding the required Tests, the ARR will not be required to review any information other than (1) Review Materials specified in the related Test and (2) if applicable, Unsolicited Information. The ARR may, but is under no obligation to, consider Unsolicited Information relevant to the Tests subject to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. If the ARR considers Unsolicited Information, the ARR shall take into account such Unsolicited Information, in addition to the Review Materials referred to in the applicable Test(s) procedure when making a determination as to whether there is a Test pass.

Representations and Warranties          Test Review Materials
1. Complete Servicing File. All documents comprising the Servicing File will be or have been delivered to the Master Servicer with respect to each Mortgage Loan by the deadlines set forth in the PSA and/or MLPA. 1 Review the Servicing File to determine if it includes a signed custodian certification that does not contain any exceptions reported. If so determined, it will be a Test pass. Servicing File; Custodian certification
2. 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 an interest in a mortgage loan. Each Mortgage Loan is a senior portion (or a pari passu portion of a senior portion) of a whole mortgage loan evidenced by a senior note. Immediately prior to the sale, transfer and assignment to depositor, no Mortgage Note or Mortgage was subject to any assignment (other than assignments to the mortgage loan seller), participation (other than a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan) or pledge, and the mortgage loan seller had good and marketable title to, and was the sole owner of, each Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all liens, charges, pledges, encumbrances, participations (other than with respect to agreements among noteholders with respect to a Whole Loan) (subject to certain agreements regarding servicing and/or defeasance successor borrower rights as provided in the PSA, subservicing agreements permitted thereunder and that certain Servicing Rights Purchase Agreement, dated as of the Closing Date between the Master Servicer and the mortgage loan seller), any other ownership interests and other interests on, in or to such Mortgage Loan (subject to certain agreements regarding servicing and/or defeasance successor borrower rights as provided in the PSA, subservicing agreements permitted thereunder and that certain Servicing Rights Purchase Agreement, dated as of the Closing Date between the Master Servicer and the mortgage loan seller). The mortgage loan seller has full right and authority to sell, assign and transfer each Mortgage Loan, and the assignment to depositor 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 (subject to certain agreements regarding servicing and/or defeasance successor borrower rights as provided in the PSA, subservicing agreements permitted thereunder and that certain Servicing Rights Purchase Agreement, dated as of the Closing Date between the Master Servicer and the mortgage loan seller). 2a Except with regard to each Whole Loan and Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, review the amounts listed on the original Mortgage Note and Mortgage to determine if they match the amounts listed on the Mortgage Loan Schedule.  If the amounts are the same, then such Mortgage Loan would be considered a whole loan. If there is more than one property then the Mortgage for each property would be need to be aggregated. If so determined, it will be a Test pass.  Mortgage Note; Mortgage; Mortgage Loan Schedule
2b If the Mortgage Loan is a Serviced Mortgage Loan or Non- Serviced Mortgage Loan, review the Mortgage(s), Mortgage Note, loan agreement related to the Mortgage Loan (“Loan Agreement”), Mortgage Loan guaranty, Assignment of Leases, and Environmental Indemnification Agreement (collectively, the “Mortgage Loan Documents”) or intercreditor agreement to determine if it is a senior portion (or a pari passu portion of a senior portion) of a whole mortgage loan. If so determined, it will be a Test pass. Mortgage Loan Documents; Intercreditor agreement
2c Review any Asset Status Report or Final Asset Status Report (collectively referred to herein as “Collective Asset Status Reports”) for a notation or other indication of any claim or assertion regarding the Mortgage Loan Seller not having good and marketable title to, or not being the sole owner of, the Mortgage Loan, free and clear of any and all liens, charges, pledges, encumbrances, participations (other than with respect to agreements among Mortgage Noteholders with respect to a Whole Loan), any other ownership interests and other interests on, in or to such Mortgage Loan (subject to certain agreements regarding servicing and/or defeasance successor borrower rights as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subservicing agreements permitted thereunder and that certain Servicing Rights Purchase Agreement, dated as of the Closing Date between the Master Servicer and the Mortgage Loan Seller). If such a notation or other indication is not found, it will be a Test pass. Collective Asset Status Reports

Representations and Warranties          Test Review Materials
  2d Review the Collective Asset Status Reports for a notation or other indication of any claim or assertion regarding the Mortgage Loan Seller not having the full right and authority to sell, assign and transfer the Mortgage Loan. If such a notation or other indication is not found, it will be a Test pass. Collective Asset Status Reports
2e Review the Collective Asset Status Reports for a notation or other indication of any claim or assertion regarding the assignment to the Depositor not constituting a legal, valid and binding assignment of such Mortgage Loan as described in the last sentence of representation and warranty 2. If such a notation or other indication is not found, it will be a Test pass. Collective Asset Status Reports
3. 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 as such enforcement may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law and except that certain provisions in such Mortgage Loan documents (including, without limitation, provisions requiring the payment of default interest, 3a Review the opinion of Mortgagor’s counsel (“Mortgagor’s Counsel Opinion”) to determine if it contains language indicating that the 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 as specified in representation and warranty 3.

late fees or prepayment/yield maintenance premiums) may be further limited or rendered unenforceable by applicable law, but (subject to the limitations set forth above) such limitations or unenforceability will not render such Mortgage Loan documents invalid as a whole or materially interfere with the mortgagee’s realization of the principal benefits and/or security provided thereby) (clauses (i) and (ii) collectively, the “Insolvency 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 the mortgage loan 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. 3b Review the Collective Asset Status Reports for a notation or other indication of any claim or assertion regarding rights of offset, defenses, counterclaims or rights of rescission available to the related Mortgagor with respect to any of the related Mortgage Notes, Mortgages or other Mortgage Loan documents, except with respect to any Insolvency Qualifications. If such a notation or other indication is not found, it will be a Test pass. Collective Asset Status Reports
4. 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 Insolvency Qualifications. 4 Review the Mortgage Loan Documents and Mortgagor’s Counsel Opinion to determine if the Mortgage Loan Documents 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 Insolvency Qualifications.

coverage for property damage, contractual damage and personal injury (including bodily injury and death) in amounts as are generally required by the mortgage loan seller for loans originated 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 (“PML”) for the Mortgaged Property in the event of an earthquake. In such instance, the PML or equivalent 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 or equivalent 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 Investors Service, Inc. or “A-” by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services in an amount not less than 100% of the PML or the equivalent.
The Mortgage Loan documents require 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, 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 together with any accrued interest thereon. All premiums on all insurance policies referred to in this section required 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 general liability insurance policy, as named or additional insured. Such insurance policies will inure to the benefit of the trustee or the Non-Serviced Trustee for Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans. 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’

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 Treasury regulations Section 1.860G 2(b)(2) and (ii) would not cause the subject Mortgage Loan to fail to be a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(3)(A); 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), for any Mortgage Loan originated after December 6, 2010, if the fair market value of the real property constituting such Mortgaged Property after the release (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 the real property that is in parity with the Mortgage Loan) is not equal to at least 80% of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan or related Whole Loan 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 of the Code. In the case of any Mortgage Loan originated after December 6, 2010, 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 related Whole Loan in an amount not less than the amount required by the REMIC provisions of the Code and, to such extent, such amount may not be required to be applied to the restoration of the Mortgaged Property or 29a Review the Mortgage Loan Documents to determine if the only conditions under which a property may be released during the life of the loan are as set forth in clauses (a) through (e) of the first sentence of representation and warranty 29. If so determined, it will be a Test pass. Mortgage Loan Documents
29b Review the Mortgage Loan Documents to determine if any partial release described in clauses (a) or (d) of the first sentence of representation and warranty 29 (i) for Mortgage Loans originated on or before December 6, 2010, is pursuant to a unilateral option of the Mortgagor within the meaning of Treasury regulations Section 1.1001-3 or (ii) for Mortgage Loans originated after December 6, 2010, is prohibited if the ratio of the value of the remaining Mortgaged Property to the outstanding principal amount of the Mortgage Loan or related Whole Loan, as applicable, is less than 80% (based solely on the value of the real property securing such Mortgage Loan) without a “qualified paydown” as such term is defined in Revenue Procedure 2010-30. If so determined, it will be a Test pass. Mortgage Loan Documents
29c Review the Mortgage Loan Documents to determine if there are provisions that provide that, for any Mortgage Loan originated after December 6, 2010, 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 in an amount not less than the amount required by the REMIC Provisions and, to such extent, 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 the 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 related Whole Loan. If so determined, it will be a Test pass. Mortgage Loan Documents

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 the 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 related Whole Loan.
In the case of any Mortgage Loan originated after December 6, 2010, no such Mortgage Loan that is secured by more than one Mortgaged Property or that is cross-collateralized with another 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 the loan-to-value ratio and other requirements of the REMIC provisions of the Code.
29d Review the Mortgage Loan Documents to determine if, for any Mortgage Loan originated after December 6, 2010 and is secured by more than one Mortgaged Property or that is cross- collateralized with another Mortgage Loan, the Mortgage Loan does not permit the release of cross-collateralization of the related Mortgaged Properties or a portion thereof, including due to a partial condemnation, if the ratio of the value of the remaining Mortgaged Property to the outstanding principal amount of the Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan, as applicable, is less than 80% (based solely on the value of the real property securing such Mortgage Loan) without a “qualified paydown” as such term is defined in Revenue Procedure 2010-30. If so determined, it will be a Test pass. Mortgage Loan Documents
30. Financial Reporting and Rent Rolls. Each Mortgage requires the Mortgagor to provide the owner or holder of the Mortgage 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 an annual combined balance sheet of the Mortgagor entities (and no other entities), together with the related combined statements of operations, members’ capital and cash flows, including a combining balance sheet and statement of income for the Mortgaged Properties on a combined basis and (ii) for 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. 30a Review the Mortgage Loan Documents to determine if they require the Mortgagor to provide the owner or holder of the Mortgage with quarterly (other than for single-tenant properties) and annual operating statements.

31. Acts of Terrorism Exclusion. With respect to each Mortgage Loan over $20 million, the related special-form all-risk insurance policy and business interruption policy (issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements) do not specifically 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 (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 other Mortgage Loan, the related special all-risk insurance policy and business interruption policy (issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements) did not, as of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, and, to the mortgage loan seller’s knowledge, do not, as of the Cut-off Date, specifically exclude Acts of Terrorism, as defined in 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 availability on commercially reasonable terms. 31a Review the Mortgage Loan Documents to determine if the original principal balance was greater than $20 million.

33. Single-Purpose Entity. Each Mortgage Loan requires 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 $20 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 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 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 Mortgage Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross- defaulted with the related Mortgage Loan), and that it holds itself out as a legal entity, separate and apart from any other person or entity. 33a Review the Mortgage Loan Documents to determine if they require that the Mortgagor to be a Single-Purpose Entity (as defined in representation and warranty 33) for at least as long as any Mortgage Loan is outstanding.

38. ARD Loan. Each Mortgage Loan identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule as an ARD Loan starts to amortize no later than the Due Date of the calendar month immediately after the calendar month in which such ARD Loan closed and substantially fully amortizes over its stated term, which term is at least 60 months after the related Anticipated Repayment Date. Each ARD Loan has an Anticipated Repayment Date not less than five years following the origination of such Mortgage Loan. If the related Mortgagor elects not to prepay its ARD Loan in full on or prior to the Anticipated Repayment Date pursuant to the existing terms of the Mortgage Loan or a unilateral option (as defined in Treasury regulations under Section 1001 of the Code) in the Mortgage Loan exercisable during the term of the Mortgage Loan, (i) the Mortgage Loan’s interest rate will step up to  an interest rate per annum as specified in the related Mortgage Loan documents; provided, however, that payment of such Excess Interest shall be deferred until the principal of such ARD Loan has been paid in full; (ii) all or a substantial portion of the excess cash flow (which  is net of certain costs associated with owning, managing and operating the related Mortgaged Property) collected after the Anticipated Repayment Date shall be applied towards the prepayment of such ARD Loan and once the principal balance of an ARD Loan has been reduced to zero all excess cash flow will be applied to the payment of accrued Excess Interest; and (iii) if the property manager for the related Mortgaged Property can be removed by or at the direction of the mortgagee on the basis of a debt service coverage test, the subject debt service coverage ratio shall be calculated without taking account of any increase in the related Mortgage Interest Rate on such Mortgage Loan’s Anticipated Repayment Date. No ARD Loan provides that the property manager for the related Mortgaged Property can be removed by or at the direction of the mortgagee solely because of the passage of the related Anticipated Repayment Date. 38a Review the Mortgage Loan Schedule to determine if the Mortgage Loan is an ARD Loan. If so determined, review the Mortgage Loan Documents to determine if the Mortgage Loan has the provisions described in the first two sentences of the representation and warranty. If so determined with respect to each part of this Test, it will be a Test pass. Mortgage Loan Schedule; Mortgage Loan Documents

Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of August 1, 2015, among Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Securities Corp., as Depositor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer, Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee.

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT:

(Terms used but not defined in this Preliminary
Statement shall have the meanings
specified in Article I hereof)

The Depositor intends to sell pass-through certificates to be issued hereunder in multiple classes which in the aggregate will evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Trust Fund consisting primarily of the Mortgage Loans. As provided herein, the Certificate Administrator will elect that two segregated portions of the Trust Fund (other than the Excess Interest, the Excess Interest Distribution Amount and the proceeds thereof) be treated for federal income tax purposes as two separate REMICs (each, a “Trust REMIC” or, in the alternative, the “Upper-Tier REMIC” and the “Lower-Tier REMIC”, respectively). The Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class NR, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class X-E, Class X-F and Class X-NR Certificates will represent “regular interests” in the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier Residual Interest will represent the sole class of “residual interests” in the Upper-Tier REMIC.

There are also (i) 12 classes of uncertificated Lower-Tier Regular Interests issued under this Agreement (the Class LA-1, Class LA-2, Class LA-3, Class LA-4, Class LA-SB, Class LA-S, Class LB, Class LC, Class LD, Class LE, Class LF and Class LNR Interests), each of which will constitute a class of “regular interests” in the Lower-Tier REMIC, and (ii) the Lower-Tier Residual Interest, which will represent the sole class of “residual interests” in the Lower-Tier REMIC.

The Lower-Tier Regular Interests will be held by the Trustee as assets of the Upper-Tier REMIC. The Class R Certificates will represent both the Lower-Tier Residual Interest and the Upper-Tier Residual Interest.

For the avoidance of doubt, any cash collateral posted by the holder of the Charles River Plaza North Subordinate Companion Loan (as described in Section 3.10(a) of this Agreement) will not be an asset of either Trust REMIC but will be an “outside reserve fund” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.860G-2(h) beneficially owned by such holder.

UPPER-TIER REMIC

The following table sets forth the Class designation, the approximate initial pass-through rate (the “Pass-Through Rate”), the aggregate initial principal balance (the “Original Certificate Principal Balance”) or, in the case of the Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D,

 
 

 

Class X-E, Class X-F and Class X-NR Certificates, notional amount (the “Original Notional Amount”), as applicable, and the initial ratings given each Class by the Rating Agencies (the “Original Ratings”) for each Class of Certificates comprising or evidencing the interests in the Upper-Tier REMIC created hereunder:

per annum rate equal to its Mortgage Loan Rate (and with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, interest on the related Serviced Companion Loan(s) at the related Mortgage Loan Rate), (B) all unreimbursed Advances (which shall include, without limitation, (1) any Advances as to which the advancing party was reimbursed from a source other than the related Mortgagor and (2) any Unliquidated Advances), with interest thereon at the Advance Rate in respect of such 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 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 or the Trustee, as applicable, and/or for which funds have not been escrowed). Promptly upon the occurrence of an Appraisal Reduction Event (or a longer period so long as the Special Servicer is (as certified thereby to the Trustee in writing) diligently and in good faith proceeding to obtain such), if an Appraisal has not been obtained within the immediately preceding nine (9) months (or if the Special Servicer has determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard such Appraisal to be materially inaccurate), the Special Servicer shall obtain an Appraisal, the costs of which shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Property Advance (or as an expense of the Trust Fund and paid by the Master Servicer out of the Collection Account if such Property Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance). The Master Servicer shall provide (via electronic delivery) the Special Servicer with information in its possession that the Special Servicer reasonably requires to calculate or recalculate any Appraisal Reduction Amount pursuant to the definition thereof using reasonable efforts to deliver such information within four (4) Business Days of the Special Servicer’s reasonable written request. None of the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall calculate or verify Appraisal Reduction Amounts. On the first Determination Date occurring on or after the receipt of such Appraisal, the Special Servicer shall calculate or adjust, as applicable, the Appraisal Reduction Amount to take into account such Appraisal and such information, if any, reasonably requested by the Special Servicer from the Master Servicer reasonably required to calculate or recalculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Appraisal is required to be obtained in accordance with Section 3.10(a) of this Agreement but is not obtained within 120 days following the events described in the applicable clause of the definition “Appraisal Reduction Event” (without regard to the time periods stated therein), then, until such Appraisal is obtained and solely for purposes of determining the amounts of P&I Advances, the Appraisal Reduction Amount will equal 25% of the Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan; provided that, upon receipt of an Appraisal by the Special Servicer, however, the Appraisal Reduction Amount for such Mortgage Loan (or the related Serviced Whole Loan, if applicable) will be recalculated in accordance with this definition without regard to this sentence. With respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Whole Loan as to which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred (unless the Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole Loan) has become a Corrected Mortgage Loan (if a Servicing Transfer Event had occurred with respect to the related Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole Loan)) and has remained current for three consecutive Monthly Payments, and with respect to which no other Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred with respect thereto during the preceding three months), the Special Servicer shall, within 30 days of each anniversary of such Appraisal Reduction Event, order an Appraisal (which may be an update of the prior Appraisal) (the cost of which will be covered by, and reimbursable as, a Property Advance by the Master Servicer or as an expense of the Trust Fund and paid by the Master Servicer out of the Collection Account if such

 

-9-
 

 

Property Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance), provided, however, that no new or updated Appraisal will be required if the Mortgage Loan, Serviced Whole Loan or REO Property is under contract to be sold within 90 days of such Appraisal Reduction Event or anniversary thereof and the Special Servicer reasonably believes such sale is likely to close. Based upon such Appraisal or letter updates thereto, the Special Servicer shall determine and report to the Master Servicer and the Certificate Administrator the Appraisal Reduction Amount, if any, with respect to such Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Whole Loan and, in the case of a Whole Loan, determined in accordance with the Co-Lender Agreement, and each of the Master Servicer and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to rely conclusively on such determination by the Special Servicer. Upon completion, the Special Servicer shall deliver a copy of any such Appraisal to the Master Servicer and the Certificate Administrator, which shall be in electronic format. Each Appraisal Reduction Amount shall also be adjusted with respect to the next Distribution Date to take into account any subsequent Appraisal and annual letter updates, as of the date of each such subsequent Appraisal or letter update.

Upon payment in full or liquidation of any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Whole Loan for which an Appraisal Reduction Amount has been determined, such Appraisal Reduction Amount will be eliminated. In addition, with respect to any Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole Loan, but not including the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans), as to which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred, such Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole Loan) shall no longer be subject to the Appraisal Reduction Amount if (a) such Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole Loan) has become a Corrected Mortgage Loan (if a Servicing Transfer Event had occurred with respect to the related Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole Loan)) and such Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole Loan) becomes and remains current for three consecutive Monthly Payments and (b) no other Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred and is continuing.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Appraisal Reduction Amount with respect to the related Mortgage Loan and each related Pari Passu Companion Loan shall be the pro rata portion of the “Appraisal Reduction Amount” relating to such Mortgage Loan and each related Pari Passu Companion Loan; provided that Appraisal Reduction Amounts with respect to any Whole Loan with a Subordinate Companion Loan will be allocated first to the related Subordinate Companion Loan until the outstanding principal balance of the Subordinate Companion Loan has been notionally reduced to zero, and then to the related Mortgage Loan and Pari Passu Companion Loan(s) on a pro rata and pari passu basis in accordance with the respective outstanding principal balances of such related Mortgage Loan and the related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s), and calculated pursuant to the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the applicable Other Master Servicer or Other Special Servicer (or the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan’s pro rata share thereof). The parties hereto shall be entitled to rely on such calculations as reported to them by the applicable Other Special Servicer or Other Master Servicer. By their acceptance of their Certificates, the Certificateholders will be deemed to have acknowledged that each applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the related Co-Lender Agreement taken together, provide that any such “Appraisal Reduction Amount” will be calculated by the applicable Other Special Servicer or Other Master Servicer under the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Appraisal Reduction Amounts with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan shall be allocated to the related Mortgage Loan and each related Pari Passu Companion Loan on a pro rata and pari passu basis in accordance with the respective outstanding principal balances of such related Mortgage Loan and each related Pari Passu Companion Loan; provided that Appraisal Reduction Amounts with respect to the AB Whole Loan shall be allocated first to the related Subordinate Companion Loan until the outstanding principal balance of the Subordinate Companion Loan has been notionally reduced to zero, and then to the related Mortgage Loan and Pari Passu Companion Loan(s) on a pro rata and pari passu basis in accordance with the respective outstanding principal balances of such related Mortgage Loan and the related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s).

If an Appraisal Reduction Event occurs with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is part of a Serviced Whole Loan, then an Appraisal Reduction Event shall be deemed to also have occurred with respect to each related Serviced Companion Loan. If an Appraisal Reduction Event occurs with respect to any Serviced Companion Loan, then an Appraisal Reduction Event shall be deemed to also have occurred with respect to the related Mortgage Loan that is part of a Serviced Whole Loan. No Appraisal Reduction Event may occur at any time when the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of all Classes of Principal Balance Certificates (other than the Class A Certificates) has been reduced to zero. The Special Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer and the Master Servicer shall notify the Special Servicer, as applicable, promptly upon the occurrence of any of the foregoing events.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to letters of credit (exclusive of those relating to Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans), the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall deliver to the Master Servicer and the Master Servicer shall hold the original (or copy, if such original has been submitted by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller to the issuing bank to effect an assignment or amendment of such letter of credit (changing the beneficiary thereof to the Trust (in care of the Master Servicer) that may be required in order for the Master Servicer to draw on such letter of credit on behalf of the Trust in accordance with the applicable terms thereof and/or of the related Mortgage Loan Documents) and the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall be deemed to have satisfied any delivery requirements of the related Loan Purchase Agreement and this Section 2.01(b) by delivering with respect to any letter(s) of credit a copy thereof to the Custodian together with an Officer’s Certificate of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller certifying that such document has been delivered to the Master Servicer or an Officer’s Certificate from the Master Servicer certifying that it holds the letter(s) of credit pursuant to this Section 2.01(b).

-116-
 

 

Mortgage Loan Seller has submitted the originals to the related issuer of such letter of credit for processing) to the Master Servicer within 90 days of the Closing Date; provided that with respect to the WPC Department Store Portfolio Mortgage Loan, no such assignments shall be made until the earlier of (i) the WPC Department Store Portfolio Securitization Date, in which case such assignments shall be made in accordance with the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and (ii) the earlier of (A) 180 days after the Closing Date and (B) such time as any such letter of credit is required to be drawn upon by the Master Servicer, in which case such assignments shall be made in favor of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders and for the benefit of the holder of the related Companion Loan, until the occurrence of the WPC Department Store Portfolio Securitization Date, as the case may be. Contemporaneous with the WPC Department Store Portfolio Securitization Date, any such letter of credit shall be assigned to the related Other Master Servicer or related Other Trustee, as applicable, as provided in the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall pay any costs of assignment or amendment of such letter(s) of credit required in order for the Master Servicer to draw on such letter(s) of credit on behalf of the Trust and shall cooperate with the reasonable requests of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in connection with effectuating a draw under any such letter of credit prior to the date such letter of credit is assigned or amended in order that it may be drawn by the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trust.

(c)          The Depositor hereby represents and warrants that each Mortgage Loan Seller has covenanted in the applicable Loan Purchase Agreement that it shall record and file, or, in the case of Column, UBSRES, BSPCC, Bancorp and Bank of New York Mellon, shall cause AMO to record and file, at the related Mortgage Loan Seller’s expense, in the appropriate public office for real property records or UCC financing statements, as appropriate, each related assignment of Mortgage and assignment of Assignment of Leases, in favor of the Trustee referred to in clause (4) of the definition of “Mortgage File” and each related UCC-3 assignment referred to in clause (15) of the definition of “Mortgage File” and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan to which the Custodian has agreed to record and file such documents, the Custodian shall promptly undertake to record or file any such document upon its receipt thereof. This subsection (c) shall not apply to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan because the documents referred to herein have been assigned to the Other Trustee.

filing office where such document or instrument has been delivered for recordation or filing, as applicable, a copy of the original certified by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller to be a true and complete copy of the original thereof submitted for recording, shall be forwarded to the Custodian. Each assignment referred to in the prior paragraph that is recorded and the file copy of each UCC-3 assignment referred to in the previous paragraph shall reflect that it should be returned by the public recording or filing office to the Custodian or its agent following recording (or, alternatively, to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee, in which case the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller shall deliver or cause the delivery of the recorded/filed original to the Custodian promptly following receipt); provided that, in those instances where the public recording office retains the original assignment of Mortgage or assignment of Assignment of Leases, the Custodian shall obtain therefrom a certified copy of the recorded original. On a monthly basis, at the expense of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, the Custodian shall forward to the Master Servicer a copy of each of the aforementioned assignments following the Custodian’s receipt thereof.

If the Custodian has received written notice that any of the aforementioned assignments is lost or returned unrecorded or unfiled, as the case may be, because of a defect therein, then the Custodian shall direct the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (pursuant to the Loan Purchase Agreement) promptly to prepare or cause the preparation of a substitute therefor or to cure such defect, as the case may be, and the Mortgage Loan Seller shall record or file, or cause AMO to record or file, or with respect to any assignments the Custodian has agreed to file as described above, to deliver to the Custodian the substitute or corrected document. The Custodian shall upon receipt from the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller cause the same to be duly recorded or filed, as appropriate.

Section 2.02     Acceptance by the Trustee, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator.

(a)          The Trustee, by its execution and delivery of this Agreement, hereby accepts receipt, directly or through the Custodian on its behalf, of (i) the Mortgage Loans and all documents delivered to it that constitute portions of the related Mortgage Files and (ii) all other assets delivered to it and included in the Trust Fund, in good faith and without notice of any adverse claim, and declares that it or the Custodian on its behalf holds and will hold such documents and any other documents subsequently received by it that constitute portions of the Mortgage Files, and that the Custodian on behalf of the Trustee holds and will hold the Mortgage

With respect to each Serviced Whole Loan, the Custodian shall also hold the portion of such Mortgage File that relates to the Companion Loan in such Serviced Whole Loan in trust for the use and benefit of the related Companion Loan Holder. In connection with the foregoing, the Custodian hereby certifies to each of the other parties hereto, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, each Underwriter and each Initial Purchaser that, as to each Mortgage Loan, (i) all documents specified in clause (l) of the definition of “Mortgage File” are in its possession or the possession of the Custodian on its behalf, and (ii) the original Note(s) (or, if accompanied by a lost note affidavit, the copy of such Note(s)) received by it or the Custodian with respect to such Mortgage Loan has been reviewed by it or by the Custodian on its behalf and (A) appears regular on its face (handwritten additions, changes or corrections shall not constitute irregularities if initialed by the Mortgagor), (B) appears to have been executed (where appropriate) and (C) purports to relate to such Mortgage Loan.

(b)          On or about the 60th day following the Closing Date (and, if any exceptions are noted, again on or about the 90th day following the Closing Date and monthly thereafter until the earliest of (i) the second anniversary of the Closing Date, (ii) the day on which all material exceptions have been removed and (iii) the day on which the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller has repurchased or substituted for the last affected Mortgage Loan), the Custodian shall review the documents delivered to it with respect to each Mortgage Loan, and the Custodian shall, subject to Section 2.01(c), Section 2.02(c) and Section 2.02(d) of this Agreement and the terms of the respective Loan Purchase Agreements, certify in writing (substantially in the form of Exhibit N to this Agreement) to each of the other parties hereto, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, each Underwriter and each Initial Purchaser (and upon request, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, to the related Companion Loan Holder) that, as to each Mortgage Loan then subject to this Agreement (except as specifically identified in any exception report annexed to such certification, which exception report (and any updates thereto) shall also be electronically delivered in Excel-compatible format): (i) all documents specified in clauses (1), (2), (3), (4) (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), (5), (7), (15) and (20) (for any Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan) of the definition of “Mortgage File” are in its possession or the related Mortgage Loan Seller has otherwise satisfied the delivery requirements in accordance with the related Loan Purchase Agreement; (ii) the recordation/filing contemplated by Section 2.01(c) of this Agreement has been completed (based solely on receipt by the Custodian of the particular recorded/filed documents); (iii) all documents received by it or the Custodian with respect to such Mortgage Loan have been reviewed by it or the Custodian on its behalf and (A) appear regular on their face (handwritten additions, changes or corrections shall not constitute irregularities if initialed by the Mortgagor), (B) appear to have been executed (where appropriate) and (C) purport to relate to such Mortgage Loan; and (iv) based on the examinations referred to in Section 2.02(a) of this Agreement and this Section 2.02(b) and only as to the foregoing documents (together with any Loan Agreement that has been delivered by the related Mortgage Loan Seller), the information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule with respect to the items specified in clauses (iv) and (v)(B) of the definition of “Mortgage Loan Schedule” accurately reflects the information set forth in the Mortgage File. With respect to the items listed in clauses (2), (3), (4) and (6) of the definition of “Mortgage File” if the original of such document is not in the Custodian’s possession because it has not

-120-
 

 

 

been returned from the applicable recording office, then the Custodian’s certification prepared pursuant to this Section 2.02(b) should indicate the absence of such original. If the Custodian’s obligation to deliver the certifications contemplated in this subsection terminates because two years have elapsed since the Closing Date, the Custodian shall deliver a comparable certification to any party hereto, the related Companion Loan Holder and any Underwriter and any Initial Purchaser on request.

(c)          It is acknowledged that none of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Custodian is under any duty or obligation to inspect, review or examine any of the documents, instruments, certificates or other papers relating to the Loans delivered to it to determine that the same are valid, legal, effective, genuine, binding, enforceable, sufficient or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face. Furthermore, none of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Custodian shall have any responsibility for determining whether the text of any assignment or endorsement is in proper or recordable form, whether the requisite recording of any document is in accordance with the requirements of any applicable jurisdiction, or whether a blanket assignment is permitted in any applicable jurisdiction.

(d)          It is understood that the scope of the Custodian’s review of the Mortgage Files is limited solely to confirming that the documents specified in clauses (1), (2), (3), (4) (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), (5), (7), (15) and (20) (for any Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan) of the definition of “Mortgage File” have been received, appear regular on their face and such additional information as will be necessary for delivering the certifications required by Section 2.02(a) and 2.02(b) of this Agreement.

(e)          If, after the Closing Date, the Depositor comes into possession of any documents or records that constitute part of the Mortgage File or Servicing File for any Mortgage Loan, the Depositor shall promptly deliver such document to the Custodian with a copy to the Master Servicer (if it constitutes part of the Servicing File).

Section 2.03     Mortgage Loan Sellers’ Repurchase, Substitution or Cures of Mortgage Loans for Document Defects in Mortgage Files and Breaches of Representations and Warranties.

(a)          If (i) any party hereto (A) discovers or receives notice alleging that any document constituting a part of a Mortgage File has not been properly executed, is missing, contains information that does not conform in any material respect with the corresponding information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule, or does not appear to be regular on its face (each, a “Document Defect”), or (B) discovers or receives notice alleging a breach of any representation or warranty of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller made pursuant to Section 6(c) of the related Loan Purchase Agreement with respect to any Mortgage Loan (a “Breach”), or (ii) the Special Servicer or the Depositor receives a Repurchase Communication of a request or demand for repurchase or replacement of any Mortgage Loan alleging a Document Defect or Breach (any such request or demand, a “Repurchase Request”), then such Person shall give prompt written notice thereof to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event),

-121-
 

 

the other parties hereto, any related Companion Loan Holder (if applicable) and, for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 11.13 of this Agreement, the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider (to the extent notice has not previously been delivered to such Persons pursuant to this sentence). If any such Document Defect or Breach materially and adversely affects, or any such Document Defect is deemed in accordance with Section 2.03(b) of this Agreement to materially and adversely affect, the value of the related Mortgage Loan (or any related REO Property) or the interests of the Certificateholders therein or causes any Mortgage Loan to fail to be a Qualified Mortgage, (then such Document Defect shall constitute a “Material Document Defect” or such Breach shall constitute a “Material Breach”), as the case may be. The Special Servicer shall determine in its reasonable, good faith discretion and in accordance with the Servicing Standard, with respect to any affected Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan, whether a Document Defect is a Material Document Defect or a Breach is a Material Breach. If such Document Defect or Breach has been determined to be a Material Document Defect or Material Breach, then the Special Servicer shall give prompt written notice thereof to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, the other parties hereto and the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event). Promptly upon becoming aware of any Material Document Defect or Material Breach (including through a written notice given by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as provided above), the Master Servicer, if relating to a Non-Specially Serviced Loan, or the Special Servicer, if relating to a Specially Serviced Loan, shall require the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, not later than 90 days from the earlier of the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s discovery or receipt of notice of, and receipt of a demand to take action with respect to, such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be (or, in the case of a Material Document Defect or Material Breach relating to a Mortgage Loan not being a Qualified Mortgage, not later than 90 days from any party discovering such Material Document Defect or Material Breach), to cure the same in all material respects (which cure shall include payment of losses and any Additional Trust Fund Expenses associated therewith) or, if such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, cannot be cured within such 90 day period, either to (before the end of such 90 day period) (i) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or any related REO Property (or the Trust’s interest therein with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is part of a Whole Loan) at the applicable Purchase Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Collection Account or (ii) substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for such affected Mortgage Loan (provided that in no event shall any such substitution occur on or after the second anniversary of the Closing Date) and pay the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account, any Substitution Shortfall Amount in connection therewith, all in conformity with the applicable Loan Purchase Agreement and this Agreement; provided, however, that if (i) such Material Document Defect or Material Breach is capable of being cured but not within such 90 day period, (ii) such Material Document Defect or Material Breach is not related to any Mortgage Loan’s not being a Qualified Mortgage and (iii) the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller has commenced and is diligently proceeding with the cure of such Material Document Defect or Material Breach within such 90 day period, then such Mortgage Loan Seller shall have an additional 90 days to complete such cure or, in the event of a failure to so cure, to complete such repurchase or substitution (it being understood and agreed that, in connection with such Mortgage Loan Seller’s receiving such additional 90 day period, such Mortgage Loan Seller shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator setting forth the reasons such Material Document Defect or

-122-
 

 

Material Breach is not capable of being cured within the initial 90 day period and what actions such Mortgage Loan Seller is pursuing in connection with the cure thereof and stating that such Mortgage Loan Seller anticipates that such Material Document Defect or Material Breach will be cured within such additional 90 day period); and provided, further, that, if any such Material Document Defect is still not cured after the initial 90 day period and any such additional 90 day period solely due to the failure of such Mortgage Loan Seller to have received the recorded document, then such Mortgage Loan Seller shall be entitled to continue to defer its cure, repurchase and substitution obligations in respect of such Document Defect so long as such Mortgage Loan Seller certifies to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator every 30 days thereafter that the Document Defect is still in effect solely because of its failure to have received the recorded document and that such Mortgage Loan Seller is diligently pursuing the cure of such defect (specifying the actions being taken), except that no such deferral of cure, repurchase or substitution may continue beyond the date that is 18 months following the Closing Date. If the affected Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased, the Master Servicer shall designate the Collection Account as the account to which funds in the amount of the Purchase Price are to be wired. If the affected Mortgage Loan is to be substituted for, the Master Servicer shall designate the Collection Account as the account to which funds in the amount of the Substitution Shortfall Amount are to be wired. Any such repurchase or substitution of a Mortgage Loan shall be on a whole loan, servicing released basis. Monthly Payments due with respect to each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (if any) after the related Due Date in the month of substitution, and Monthly Payments due with respect to each Mortgage Loan being repurchased or replaced after the related Cut-Off Date and received by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust on or prior to the related date of repurchase or substitution, shall be part of the Trust Fund. Monthly Payments due with respect to each Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan (if any) on or prior to the related Due Date in the month of substitution, and Monthly Payments due with respect to each Mortgage Loan being repurchased or replaced and received by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust after the related date of repurchase or substitution, shall not be part of the Trust Fund and are to be remitted by the Master Servicer to the Mortgage Loan Seller effecting the related repurchase or substitution promptly following receipt.

If the Special Servicer or the Depositor receives a Repurchase Communication of a withdrawal of a Repurchase Request of which notice has been previously received or given and which withdrawal is by the Person making such Repurchase Request (a “Repurchase Request Withdrawal”), such party shall give written notice of such Repurchase Request Withdrawal to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, the other parties hereto, the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event), any Companion Loan Holder (if applicable) and, for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 11.13 of this Agreement, the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider (to the extent notice has not previously been delivered to such Persons pursuant to this sentence). If the Special Servicer receives a Repurchase Communication that any Mortgage Loan that was subject of a Repurchase Request has been repurchased or replaced (a “Repurchase”), or that such Repurchase Request has been rejected (a “Repurchase Request Rejection”), then the Special Servicer shall (in accordance with the following paragraph) give written notice of such Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection to the Depositor, the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller unless it is the entity that has repurchased or replaced the

-123-
 

 

subject Mortgage Loan or rejected such Repurchase Request, and unless it is the party that notified the Special Servicer thereof, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee.

Each notice of a Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection required to be given by a party pursuant to this Section 2.03(a) (each, a “15Ga-1 Notice”) shall be given no later than ten (10) Business Days after receipt of a Repurchase Communication of such Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection, as applicable, and shall include (i) the identity of the related Mortgage Loan, (ii) the date that the Repurchase Communication regarding the Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection was received, as applicable, (iii) if known, the basis for the Repurchase Request (as asserted in the Repurchase Request) and (iv) in the case of 15Ga-1 Notices provided by the Special Servicer with respect to a Repurchase Request, a statement as to whether the Special Servicer currently plans to pursue such Repurchase Request.

If the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor or the Custodian receives a Repurchase Communication of a Repurchase Request, a Repurchase Request Withdrawal, a Repurchase or a Repurchase Request Rejection, then such party shall promptly forward such Repurchase Communication of such Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection to the Special Servicer (with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan) and, with respect to any Mortgage Loan, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative, and include the following statement in the related correspondence: “This is a Repurchase Communication regarding [a “Repurchase Request”] [a “Repurchase Request Withdrawal”] [a “Repurchase”] [a “Repurchase Request Rejection”] under Section 2.03(a) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to the CSAIL 2015-C3 Commercial Mortgage Trust, Commercial Mortgage Pass Through Certificates, Series 2015-C3, requiring action by you as the recipient of such [Repurchase Request] [Repurchase Request Withdrawal] [Repurchase] [Repurchase Request Rejection] thereunder”. Upon receipt of any Repurchase Communication of a Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection by the Special Servicer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, the Special Servicer shall be deemed to be the recipient of such Repurchase Communication of such Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection, and the Special Servicer shall comply with the notice procedures set forth in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 2.03(a) with respect to such Repurchase Communication of such Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection.

No Person that is required to provide a 15Ga-1 Notice pursuant to this Section 2.03(a) (a “15Ga-1 Notice Provider”) shall be required to provide any information in a 15Ga-1 Notice protected by the attorney-client privilege or attorney work product doctrines. Each Loan Purchase Agreement will provide that (i) any 15Ga-1 Notice provided pursuant to this Section 2.03(a) is so provided only to assist the related Mortgage Loan Seller, the Depositor and their respective Affiliates to comply with Rule 15Ga-1, Items 1104 and 1121 of Regulation AB and any other requirement of law or regulation and (ii)(A) no action taken by, or inaction of, a 15Ga-1 Notice Provider and (B) no information provided pursuant to this Section 2.03(a) by a 15Ga-1 Notice Provider in a 15Ga-1 Notice shall be deemed to constitute a waiver or defense to

-124-
 

 

the exercise of any legal right the 15Ga-1 Notice Provider may have with respect to the related Loan Purchase Agreement, including with respect to any Repurchase Request that is the subject of a 15Ga-1 Notice.

On or before the Closing Date, the Depositor shall deliver to the Master Servicer a copy of each Loan Purchase Agreement, which the Master Servicer shall provide to each Sub-Servicer.

With respect to each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the parties to this Agreement agree that if a “material document defect” exists with respect to the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan under the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement that governs servicing of the related Whole Loan and the related Mortgage Loan Seller (or other responsible repurchasing entity) repurchases such related Companion Loan pursuant to or as contemplated by such Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, then such Mortgage Loan Seller shall also repurchase such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that such repurchase obligation does not apply to any “material document defect” related solely to the promissory note for such Companion Loan.

(b)          Subject to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller’s right to cure as contemplated in this Section 2.03, and further subject to Section 2.01(b) and Section 2.01(c) of this Agreement, failure of such Mortgage Loan Seller to deliver the documents referred to in clauses (1), (2), (7), (8), (18) and (19) in the definition of “Mortgage File” in accordance with this Agreement and the applicable Loan Purchase Agreement for any Mortgage Loan shall be deemed a Material Document Defect; provided, however, that no Document Defect (except a deemed Material Document Defect described above) shall be considered to be a Material Document Defect unless the document with respect to which the Document Defect exists is required in connection with an imminent enforcement of the lender’s rights or remedies under the related Mortgage Loan, defending any claim asserted by any Mortgagor or third party with respect to the Mortgage Loan, establishing the validity or priority of any lien on any collateral securing the Mortgage Loan or for any immediate significant servicing obligation.

(c)          In connection with any repurchase of, or substitution of a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for, a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 2.03, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each tender to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller, upon delivery to each of them of a receipt executed by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller evidencing such repurchase or substitution, all portions of the Mortgage File and other documents (including, without limitation, the Servicing File), and all escrows and reserve funds, pertaining to such Mortgage Loan possessed by it, and each document that constitutes a part of the Mortgage File shall be endorsed or assigned to the extent necessary or appropriate to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee in the same manner, but only if the respective documents have been previously assigned or endorsed to the Trustee, and pursuant to appropriate forms of assignment, substantially similar to the manner and forms pursuant to which such documents were previously assigned to the Trustee or as otherwise reasonably requested to effect the retransfer and reconveyance of the Mortgage Loan and the security thereof to the Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee; provided that such tender by the Trustee and the Custodian shall be conditioned upon its receipt (and such receipt shall be deemed to be the Master Servicer’s direction to the Trustee and the Custodian to so tender) from

-125-
 

 

the Master Servicer of a Request for Release and an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that the requirements for repurchase or substitution have been satisfied. The Master Servicer shall, and is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee to, prepare, execute and deliver in its own name, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee or any of them, the endorsements and assignments contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), and such other instruments as may be necessary or appropriate to transfer title to an REO Property (including with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) in connection with the repurchase of, or substitution for, an REO Mortgage Loan and the Trustee shall execute and deliver any powers of attorney necessary to permit the Master Servicer to do so; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not be held liable for any misuse of any such power of attorney by the Master Servicer or any of its agents or subcontractors.

(d)         The related Loan Purchase Agreement provides the sole remedies available to the Certificateholders, or the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders, respecting any Document Defect or Breach with respect to any Mortgage Loan.

If with respect to any Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole Loan) the related Mortgage Loan Documents permit the lender to (but do not require the lender to), at its option, prior to an event of default under the related Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole Loan), apply amounts held in any reserve account as a prepayment or hold such amounts in a reserve account, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall not apply such amounts as prepayment, and instead shall hold such amounts in the applicable reserve account and may not apply such amounts as a prepayment until the occurrence of an event of default under the related Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole Loan); provided that any such amounts may be used, if permitted under the related Mortgage Loan Documents, to defease the related Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole Loan) or, upon an event of default under the related Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole Loan), to prepay the Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole Loan).

 

(c)          The Master Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements with third parties with respect to any of its obligations hereunder, provided that (i) any such agreement shall be consistent with the provisions of this Agreement, (ii) any such agreement shall be consistent with the Servicing Standard, (iii) the Depositor has consented to the related Sub-Servicer, (iv) any such agreement shall provide that, following receipt of the applicable Loan Purchase Agreement from the Depositor, the Master Servicer shall provide a copy of the applicable Loan Purchase Agreement to the related Sub-Servicer, and that such Sub-Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer in writing within five (5) Business Days after such Sub-Servicer discovers or receives notice alleging a Document Defect or a Breach or receives a Repurchase Communication of a Repurchase Request, a Repurchase Request Withdrawal, a Repurchase or a Repurchase Request Rejection, (v) with respect to any Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into after the Closing Date, if such Sub-Servicer is a Servicing Function Participant or an Additional

 

-139-
 

 

Servicer, such Sub-Servicer, at the time the related Sub-Servicing Agreement is entered into, is not a Prohibited Party and (vi) the Master Servicer shall notify the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller of any such agreement. Any such Sub-Servicing Agreement may permit the Sub-Servicer to delegate its duties to agents or subcontractors so long as the related agreements or arrangements with such agents or subcontractors are consistent with the provisions of this Section 3.01(c). The Master Servicer shall pay the servicing fees of any Sub-Servicer and shall provide a copy of each Sub-Servicing Agreement (and any assignment thereof) to the Trustee. Any Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into by the Master Servicer shall provide that it may be assumed by the Trustee, if the Trustee has assumed the duties of the Master Servicer or by any successor Master Servicer without cost or obligation to the assuming party or the Trust Fund, upon the assumption by such party of the obligations of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02. The Special Servicer may not enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements; provided that, if and to the extent Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC or its successor-in-interest is terminated as Special Servicer by the Controlling Class Representative without cause (i.e., not as a result of a Servicer Termination Event) and Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC or its successor-in-interest otherwise satisfies all of the eligibility requirements applicable to special servicers contained in this Agreement, Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC or its successor-in-interest may be appointed as a sub-special servicer of a successor Special Servicer appointed by the Controlling Class Representative, subject to the consent of the Controlling Class Representative.

 

Any Sub-Servicing Agreement, and any other transactions or services relating to the Mortgage Loans and/or Serviced Whole Loans involving a Sub-Servicer, shall be deemed to be between the Master Servicer and such Sub-Servicer alone, and the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Operating Advisor, the Trust Fund and the Certificateholders shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the Sub-Servicer, except as set forth in Section 3.01(d) of this Agreement and no provision herein may be construed so as to require the Trust Fund to indemnify any such Sub-Servicer. 

 

(d)          If the Trustee or any successor Master Servicer assumes the obligations of the Master Servicer in accordance with Section 7.02, the Trustee or such successor, as applicable, to the extent necessary to permit the Trustee or such successor, as applicable, to carry out the provisions of Section 7.02, shall, without act or deed on the part of the Trustee or such successor, as applicable, succeed to all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer under any Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.01(c) of this Agreement. In such event, the Trustee or the successor Master Servicer, as applicable, shall be deemed to have assumed all of the Master Servicer’s interest therein (but not any liabilities or obligations in respect of acts or omissions of the Master Servicer prior to such deemed assumption) and to have replaced the Master Servicer as a party to such Sub-Servicing Agreement to the same extent as if such Sub-Servicing Agreement had been assigned to the Trustee or such successor Master Servicer, as applicable, except that the Master Servicer shall not thereby be relieved of any liability or obligations under such Sub-Servicing Agreement that accrued prior to the succession of the Trustee or the successor Master Servicer, as applicable.

 

In the event that the Trustee or any successor Master Servicer, assumes the servicing obligations of the Master Servicer, upon request of the Trustee, or such successor Master Servicer, as applicable, the Master Servicer shall at its own expense deliver or cause to be

 

-140-
 

 

delivered to the Trustee or such successor Master Servicer all documents and records relating to any Sub-Servicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced thereunder and an accounting of amounts collected and held by it, if any, and will otherwise use its reasonable efforts to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of any Sub-Servicing Agreement to the Trustee or the successor Master Servicer, as applicable.

 

(e)          The parties hereto acknowledge that each Serviced Whole Loan is subject to the terms and conditions of the related Co-Lender Agreement and recognize the respective rights and obligations of the Trust, as holder of the related Mortgage Loan, and of the related Companion Loan Holder, including: (i) with respect to the allocation of collections on or in respect of such Whole Loan, and the making of remittances, to the Trust, as holder of the related Mortgage Loan, and to the related Companion Loan Holder(s); (ii) the right of any related Subordinate Companion Loan Holder to purchase the related Mortgage Loan; (iii) with respect to the allocation of expenses and losses relating to such Whole Loan to the Trust, as holder of the related Mortgage Loan, and to the related Companion Loan Holders; (iv) the right of any related Subordinate Companion Loan Holder to cure certain defaults; (v) any and all consent, appointment and approval rights of any related Subordinate Companion Loan Holder prior to a Whole Loan Control Appraisal Event (if applicable, as further set forth in the terms and provisions of the related Co-Lender Agreement); (vi) the consultation rights of the related Companion Loan Holder or its Companion Loan Holder Representative; and (vii) the right of any related Subordinate Companion Loan Holder to post collateral to offset any Appraisal Reduction Amount with respect to the related Whole Loan. With respect to any Serviced Whole Loan, the Master Servicer (if such Serviced Whole Loan is a non-Specially Serviced Loan) or the Special Servicer (if such Serviced Whole Loan has become a Specially Serviced Loan or the related Mortgaged Property has been converted to an REO Property) shall (i) prepare and provide to such Companion Loan Holder all notices, reports, statements and communications to be delivered by the holder of the related Mortgage Loan under the related Co-Lender Agreement; and (ii) perform all duties and obligations to be performed by a servicer and perform all servicing-related duties and obligations to be performed by the holder of the related Mortgage Loan pursuant to the related Co-Lender Agreement and/or as set forth herein. All provisions required to be included herein by the related Co-Lender Agreement are deemed included and shall be enforceable to the same extent as if set forth herein. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and a Co-Lender Agreement, the terms of such Co-Lender Agreement shall control with respect to the related Serviced Whole Loan.

 

(f)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (a) at no time shall the Master Servicer or the Trustee be required to make any P&I Advance on any Companion Loan and (b) if the Mortgage Loan (or the related REO Property) that is part of a Serviced Whole Loan is no longer part of the Trust Fund, neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee, as the case may be, shall have any obligation to make any Property Advance on such Serviced Whole Loan. If pursuant to the foregoing sentence, the Master Servicer or the Trustee does not intend to make a Property Advance with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan that the Master Servicer or the Trustee would have made if the related Mortgage Loan or REO Property were still part of the Trust Fund, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall promptly notify the holder of the related Companion Loan of its intention to no longer make such Property Advances and shall additionally promptly notify such holder of any required Property Advance it would have otherwise made upon becoming aware of the need for such Property Advance. Additionally, at

 

-141-
 

 

the time the Mortgage Loan relating to a Serviced Whole Loan is removed from the Trust Fund, the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall deliver to the related Companion Loan Holder (or the master servicer of any securitization of the related Companion Loan) (i) a copy of the most recent inspection report and the inspection report for the prior calendar year, (ii) copies of all financial statements collected from the related Mortgagor for the most recent calendar year and the prior calendar year, (iii) a copy of the most recent Appraisal and any other Appraisal done in the prior year and (iv) a copy of all tax and insurance bills for the current calendar year and the prior calendar year.

 

(g)          With respect to the Mortgage Loans set forth on Exhibit HH, to the extent required under any Mortgage Loan Documents, the Master Servicer shall, on behalf of the related lender, maintain a Note register for the related Mortgage Loan in accordance with such Mortgage Loan Documents.

 

(h)          Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Master Servicer’s and the Special Servicer’s obligations and responsibilities hereunder and the Master Servicer’s and the Special Servicer’s authority with respect to each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and each Non-Serviced Companion Loan related to the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans are limited by and subject to the terms of each Co-Lender Agreement and this Agreement and the rights of an Other Master Servicer and an Other Special Servicer with respect thereto under the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The parties further recognize the respective rights and obligations of an Other Trustee and/or the related Companion Loan Holders (or the representatives thereof) under each respective Co-Lender Agreement including with respect to (i) the allocation of collections on or in respect of a Non-Serviced Whole Loan in accordance with the related Co-Lender Agreement, (ii) the purchase of a Non-Serviced Whole Loan or related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan by the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan Holder or their designees in accordance with the respective Co-Lender Agreement to the extent provided therein and (iii) any cure rights that a Non-Serviced Companion Loan Holder may exercise, if applicable, in accordance with the related Co-Lender Agreement. The Trustee shall cooperate with the Master Servicer in connection with the enforcement of the rights by the Trustee on behalf of the Trust (as holder of each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) under each related Co-Lender Agreement and each applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer (with the cooperation of and under the power of attorney granted by, the Trustee) shall take such actions as it shall deem reasonably necessary to facilitate the servicing of each Non-Serviced Companion Loan by the related Other Master Servicer and the related Other Special Servicer, including, but not limited to, delivering appropriate requests for release to the custodian (if any) in order to deliver any portion of the related Mortgage Files to the related Other Master Servicer or Other Special Servicer under the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

To the extent that the Trust, as holder of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan for the benefit of the Certificateholders, is entitled to consult regarding, to consent to or approve any modification, waiver or amendment of, or other loan level action related to, such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, such consultation, consent or approval rights shall be exercised by the Controlling Class Representative or Operating Advisor, as applicable, as provided in Section 3.01(j) and Section 3.24(i), subject to the consent and/or consultation rights any other applicable Person, as provided in such Sections.

 

-142-
 

 

In addition to such consultation, consent or approval rights, the Controlling Class Representative (if no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing) and the Operating Advisor (if a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing), on behalf of the Trust, as holder of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan for the benefit of the Certificateholders, will have the right (exercisable in its sole discretion), to the extent provided in the related Co-Lender Agreement and/or the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to attend (in-person or telephonically) annual meetings with the related Other Master Servicer or Other Special Servicer, as applicable, upon reasonable notice and at times reasonably acceptable to the related Other Master Servicer or Other Special Servicer, as applicable, for the purpose of discussing servicing issues related to the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan.

 

None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee shall have any obligation or authority to supervise any Other Master Servicer, any Other Special Servicer, any Other Operating Advisor, any Other Certificate Administrator, any Other Trustee or any other party to the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement or to make Property Advances with respect to any of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans or a Non-Serviced Companion Loan related to the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans. The obligation of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to provide information to the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or any other Person with respect to each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and any Non-Serviced Companion Loan related to each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is dependent on their receipt of the corresponding information from an Other Master Servicer or an Other Special Servicer, as applicable.

 

(i)          The parties hereto acknowledge that each Non-Serviced Whole Loan is subject to the terms and conditions of the respective Co-Lender Agreement and further acknowledge that, pursuant to the respective Co-Lender Agreement, (i) the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and Non-Serviced Companion Loan are to be serviced and administered by an Other Master Servicer and Other Special Servicer in accordance with the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and (ii) in the event that the applicable Non-Serviced Companion Loan is no longer part of the trust fund created by the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan remains an asset of the Trust Fund, then, as set forth in the related Co-Lender Agreement, the related Whole Loan shall be serviced in accordance with the applicable provisions of the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement as if such agreement was still in full force and effect with respect to the related Whole Loan, until such time as a new servicing agreement has been agreed to by the parties to the related Co-Lender Agreement in accordance with the provisions of such agreement and confirmation has been obtained from the Rating Agencies that such new servicing agreement would not result in a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the then-current ratings of any Class of Certificates then-outstanding and any other requirements applicable to the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan.

 

(j)          The parties hereto acknowledge that each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is subject to the terms and conditions of the related Co-Lender Agreement. The parties hereto recognize the respective rights and obligations of the “Initial Note Holders” and “Note Holders” under the Co-Lender Agreements for such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans, including with respect to the allocation of collections and losses on or in respect of such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans and the related Non-Serviced Companion Loans and the making of payments to the “Initial Note

 

-143-
 

 

Holders” and “Note Holders” in accordance with each such Co-Lender Agreement and the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The parties hereto further acknowledge that, pursuant to the related Co-Lender Agreement(s), each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan are to be serviced and administered by the related Other Master Servicer and the related Other Special Servicer in accordance with the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Although each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is not serviced and administered hereunder, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer hereunder for each such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan shall have certain duties as set forth herein and shall constitute the “Master Servicer” and “Special Servicer” hereunder with respect to each such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan.

 

If there are at any time amounts due from the Trust, as holder of each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, to any party under the related Co-Lender Agreement or the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer shall pay such amounts out of the Collection Account. If a party to the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement related to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan requests the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, Trustee, Certificate Administrator or Custodian to consult regarding, consent to or approve a modification, waiver or amendment of, or other loan-level action related to, such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan (and a modification, waiver or amendment of the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement and/or the related Co-Lender Agreement shall not be subject to the operation of this sentence but shall instead be subject to the operation of the second succeeding sentence), then the Master Servicer shall promptly forward any such request it receives to the Special Servicer and the Special Servicer shall promptly deliver a copy of such request it receives (from the Master Servicer or directly from a party to the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement) to the Controlling Class Representative (with respect to any consent rights, if no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, and with respect to any consultation rights, if no Consultation Termination Event has occurred) or the Operating Advisor (with respect to any consultation rights, if a Consultation Termination Event has occurred), and the Controlling Class Representative or Operating Advisor (as applicable) shall exercise such right of consultation or consent, as applicable, as provided in Section 3.24(i); provided, however, that (i) insofar as any other Person (including without limitation the Controlling Class Representative or the Operating Advisor) would have consent and/or consultation rights hereunder with respect to a similar modification, waiver or amendment of, or other loan level action related to, a Mortgage Loan that is a Serviced Mortgage Loan, such Person shall likewise have the same consent and/or consultation rights, subject to the same procedures, conditions and/or restrictions, with respect to such modification, waiver or amendment of, or other loan level action related to, such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan as set forth in this Agreement and (ii) if such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan were serviced hereunder and such action would not be permitted without Rating Agency Confirmation, then the Controlling Class Representative shall not exercise such right of consent without first having received such Rating Agency Confirmation (payable at the expense of the party requesting such approval, if a Certificateholder or a party to this Agreement, otherwise from the Collection Account). If a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives actual notice of a “servicer termination event” under the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, then the Trustee shall notify the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Controlling Class Representative (in writing), and the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall act in

 

-144-
 

 

accordance with the instructions of (prior to the occurrence of a Control Termination Event) the Controlling Class Representative in accordance with the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement with respect to such termination event (provided that the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall only be required to comply with such instructions if such instructions are in accordance with the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement and not inconsistent with this Agreement); provided that, if such instructions are not provided within a reasonable time period (not to exceed ten (10) Business Days or such lesser response time as is afforded under the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement) or if the Master Servicer is not permitted by the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement to follow such instructions or if a Control Termination Event has occurred, then the Master Servicer shall take such action or inaction (to the extent permitted by the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement), as directed in writing by the Holders of the Certificates entitled to a majority of the Voting Rights (such direction communicated to the Master Servicer by the Certificate Administrator upon receipt) within a reasonable period of time that does not exceed such response time as is afforded under the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement. If the Trustee receives a request from any party to the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement for consent to or approval of a modification, waiver or amendment of the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement and/or the related Co-Lender Agreement, or the adoption of any servicing agreement that is the successor to and/or in replacement of the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement in effect as of the Closing Date or a change in servicer under the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, then the Trustee (if it shall have received a prior Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency (at the expense of the party requesting such approval of the Trustee, if a Certificateholder or a party to this Agreement, otherwise from the Collection Account) with respect to such consent or approval) shall grant or withhold such consent or approval at the written direction of the Other Master Servicer or Other Special Servicer under the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement; provided that unless a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Other Master Servicer or Other Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide such written direction only with the consent of the Controlling Class Representative, and the written direction shall only be valid upon receipt of such consent. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely without investigation on the written direction it receives from the Other Master Servicer or the Other Special Servicer, as applicable. Prior to granting or withholding any such consent, the Trustee shall not take any action and shall not be liable for failing to take any action except upon obtaining such consent and direction. During the continuation of any termination event under the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, each of the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall have the right (but not the obligation) to take all actions to enforce its rights and remedies and to protect the interests, and enforce the rights and remedies, of the Trust (including the institution and prosecution of all judicial, administrative and other proceedings and the filings of proofs of claim and debt in connection therewith). The reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or the Trustee in connection with such enforcement shall be paid by the Master Servicer out of the Collection Account. The Trustee, the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer shall each promptly forward all material notices or other communications delivered to it in connection with the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the other such party, the Depositor and (prior to the occurrence of a Consultation Termination Event) the Controlling Class Representative and, if such notice or communication is in the nature of a notice or communication that would be required to be delivered to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider (for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 11.13) if the related Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan were a Mortgage Loan that is serviced and administered under this Agreement,

 

-145-
 

 

to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such notice to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 11.13). Any obligation of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, to provide information and collections to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Controlling Class Representative and the Certificateholders with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan shall be dependent on its receipt of the corresponding information and collections from the applicable Other Master Servicer or the applicable Other Special Servicer. Each of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall reasonably cooperate with the Controlling Class Representative or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, to facilitate the exercise by the Controlling Class Representative or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, of any consent, approval or consultation rights set forth in this Section 3.01(j); provided, however, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and Special Servicer shall have no right or obligation to exercise any consent or consultation rights or obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation on behalf of the Controlling Class Representative.

 

(k)          With respect to each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the parties to this Agreement agree as follows:

 

(i)           pursuant to the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the related Other Master Servicer is obligated to make “Property Advances” and incur “Additional Trust Fund Expenses” (or such other similar term, each as defined in the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement) with respect to each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan; the Trust shall be responsible for its pro rata share of any “Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances” (and accrued and unpaid interest thereon) and any “Additional Trust Fund Expenses” (but not any interest on “P&I Advances”) (each as defined in the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement), but only to the extent that they relate to servicing and administration of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, including without limitation, any unpaid “Special Servicing Fees”, “Liquidation Fees” and “Workout Fees” (each as defined in the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement) relating to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan; and in the event that the funds received with respect to each Non-Serviced Whole Loan are insufficient to cover “Property Advances” or “Additional Trust Fund Expenses” (each as defined in the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement), (i) the Master Servicer shall, promptly following notice from the Other Master Servicer or the Other Special Servicer, pay or reimburse the Other Master Servicer, the Other Special Servicer, the Other Certificate Administrator or an Other Trustee, as applicable (such reimbursement, to the extent owed to an Other Special Servicer, an Other Certificate Administrator or an Other Trustee, may be paid by the Master Servicer to an Other Master Servicer, who shall pay such amounts to an Other Special Servicer, an Other Certificate Administrator or an Other Trustee, as applicable), out of general funds in the Collection Account for the Trust’s pro rata share of any such “Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances” (together with advance interest thereon) and/or “Additional Trust Fund Expenses”), and (ii) if the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement permits the Other Master Servicer, the Other Special Servicer, the Other Certificate Administrator or the Other Trustee to reimburse itself from the Other Securitization Trust’s general collections, then the parties to this Agreement hereby acknowledge and agree that the Other Master Servicer, the Other Special Servicer, the Other Certificate Administrator or the Other Trustee, as

 

-146-
 

 

applicable, may do so and the Master Servicer shall be required to, promptly following notice from the Other Master Servicer, the Other Special Servicer or the Other Trustee, reimburse the Other Securitization Trust out of general funds in the Collection Account for the Trust’s pro rata share of any such “Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances” (together with advance interest thereon) and/or “Additional Trust Fund Expenses” (each as defined in the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement);

 

(ii)          each Other Securitization Trust and each of the parties to the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be indemnified with respect to losses, costs and expenses relating to the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans as and to the same extent the Other Trust is required to indemnify each of such Persons in respect of other mortgage loans in the Other Trust pursuant to the terms of Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Trust to the extent of the Trust’s pro rata share 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 the servicing and administration of each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and the related Mortgaged Property under the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and to the extent amounts on deposit in the “Serviced Whole Loan Custodial Account” (or such other similar term, as defined in the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement) are insufficient for reimbursement of such amounts, the Master Servicer shall, promptly following notice from the related Other Master Servicer, reimburse each of such applicable Persons for the Trust’s pro rata share of the insufficiency out of general funds in the Collection Account;

 

(iii)         in the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the related Co-Lender Agreement, the related Co-Lender Agreement shall prevail; provided that in no event shall the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, take any action or omit to take any action in accordance with the terms of any Co-Lender Agreement, that would cause the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to violate the Servicing Standard or REMIC provisions;

 

(iv)         any provisions required to be included herein pursuant to the related Co-Lender Agreement are deemed included and shall be enforceable to the same extent as if set forth herein; and

 

(v)          the Other Master Servicer, the Other Special Servicer, the Other Trustee and the Other Securitization Trust shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 3.01(k).

 

Section 3.02     Liability of the Master Servicer. Notwithstanding any Sub-Servicing Agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Master Servicer and any Person acting as Sub-Servicer (or its agents or subcontractors) or any reference to actions taken through any Person acting as Sub-Servicer or otherwise, the Master Servicer shall remain obligated and primarily liable for the servicing and administering of the Mortgage Loans (other than with respect to the primary servicing of any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans) and the Serviced Companion Loans in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such Sub-Servicing Agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from any Person

 

-147-
 

 

acting as Sub-Servicer (or its agents or subcontractors) to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Master Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans (other than with respect to the primary servicing of any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans) and the Serviced Companion Loans. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to enter into an agreement with any Sub-Servicer providing for indemnification of the Master Servicer by such Sub-Servicer, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification, but no such agreement for indemnification shall be deemed to limit or modify this Agreement.

 

Section 3.03     Collection of Certain Mortgage Loan Payments.

 

(a)          The Master Servicer (with respect to non-Specially Serviced Loans) or the Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans), as applicable, shall use commercially reasonable efforts in accordance with the Servicing Standard to collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loans (excluding the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans) (and the Serviced Companion Loans) it is obligated to service hereunder (including Special Servicing Fees (in the case of the Special Servicer only), Workout Fees, Liquidation Fees (in the case of the Special Servicer only) and any other fees payable to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer if and to the extent the related Mortgage Loan Documents require the related Mortgagor to pay such fees), and shall follow the Servicing Standard with respect to such collection procedures; provided that with respect to each ARD Loan, so long as the related Mortgagor is in compliance with each provision of the related Loan Documents, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall not take any enforcement action with respect to the failure of the related Mortgagor to make any payment of Excess Interest, other than requests for collection, until the Maturity Date of the related ARD Loan or until the outstanding principal balance of such ARD Loan (exclusive of any portion representing accrued Excess Interest) has been paid in full); provided, further, that, with respect to any ARD Loan, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, may take action to enforce the Trust Fund’s right to apply excess cash flow to principal in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents. For clarification, no obligation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to use commercially reasonable efforts to collect fees from the related Mortgagor will change the obligation of the Master Servicer to pay such fees from general collections or other proceeds in accordance with Section 3.06(a) and 3.06A as applicable, of this Agreement, whether or not such Special Servicing Fees, Workout Fees or Liquidation Fees are collected from or paid by the related Mortgagor. The Master Servicer, with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other than Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans) other than Specially Serviced Loans, and Special Servicer, with respect to the Specially Serviced Loans, shall use its reasonable efforts to collect operating statements, rent rolls and other reporting information from Mortgagors (as required under the related Mortgage Loan Documents). Consistent with the foregoing, the Master Servicer (with respect to non-Specially Serviced Loans) or Special Servicer (with respect to Specially Serviced Loans), as applicable, may in its discretion waive any Penalty Charges in connection with any delinquent Monthly Payment with respect to any Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan. In addition, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to take such actions with respect to the collection of payments on the Mortgage Loans and the Serviced Companion Loans as are permitted or required under this Section 3.03.

 

-148-
 

 

(b)          In the event that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer receives Excess Interest and is aware that it has received Excess Interest on or prior to the Determination Date for any Distribution Date, or receives notice from the related Mortgagor that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer will be receiving Excess Interest on or prior to the Determination Date for any Distribution Date, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall notify the Certificate Administrator no later than two Business Days prior to such Distribution Date in the CREFC® Loan Periodic Update File. None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee shall be responsible for any failure of the related Mortgagor to pay any such Excess Interest. The preceding statements shall not, however, be construed to limit the provisions of Section 3.03(a) of this Agreement.

 

(c)          The Certificate Administrator shall deliver to the related Other Depositor, the related Other Trustee, the related Other Certificate Administrator, the related Other Special Servicer, the related Other Master Servicer and the related Other Operating Advisor (A) promptly following the Closing Date written notice in the form of Exhibit EE attached hereto stating that, as of the Closing Date (or, in the case of the WPC Department Store Portfolio Mortgage Loan, as applicable, promptly upon the Certificate Administrator’s receipt of notice of the WPC Department Store Portfolio Securitization Date), the Trust is the holder of such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and directing each such recipient to remit to the Master Servicer all amounts payable to, and to forward, deliver or otherwise make available, as the case may be, to the Master Servicer all reports, statements, documents, communications and other information that are to be forwarded, delivered or otherwise made available to, the holder of such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan under the related Co-Lender Agreement and the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement (which notice shall also provide contact information for the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the party designated to exercise the rights of the “Non-Controlling Note Holder” under each Co-Lender Agreement), accompanied by a statement that a copy of an executed version of this Agreement is available upon request, and (B) notice of any subsequent change in the identity of the Master Servicer or the party designated to exercise the rights of the “Non-Controlling Note Holder” under each Co-Lender Agreement (together with the relevant contact information). The Master Servicer shall, within two (2) Business Days of receipt of properly identified funds, deposit into the Collection Account all amounts received with respect to each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Mortgaged Property related to each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan or any related REO Property.

 

(d)          With respect to each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, if the Master Servicer does not receive from the related Other Master Servicer any Monthly Payment or other amounts known by the Master Servicer to be owing on a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms of the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement and/or the related Co-Lender Agreement, then the Master Servicer shall provide notice of such failure to the related Other Master Servicer, the related Other Trustee and the related Other Certificate Administrator.

 

Section 3.04     Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Escrow Accounts.

 

(a)          With respect to each Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Whole Loan, the Master Servicer shall

 

-149-
 

 

maintain accurate records with respect to each related Mortgaged Property reflecting the status of taxes, assessments, ground rents and other similar items that are or may become a lien on the related Mortgaged Property and the status of insurance premiums payable with respect thereto. From time to time, to the extent such payments are to be made from escrowed funds, the Master Servicer shall (i) obtain all bills for the payment of such items (including renewal premiums), and (ii) effect payment of all such bills with respect to such Mortgaged Properties prior to the applicable penalty or termination date, in each case employing for such purpose Escrow Payments as allowed under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Whole Loan. With respect to non-escrowed payments, when the Master Servicer becomes aware in accordance with the Servicing Standard that a Mortgagor (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) has failed to make any such payment or, with respect to escrowed loans, collections from the Mortgagor are insufficient to pay any such item before the applicable penalty or termination date, the Master Servicer shall advance the amount of any shortfall as a Property Advance unless the Master Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Master Servicer may in accordance with the Servicing Standard elect (but is not required) to make (and in the case of a Specially Serviced Loan, at the direction of the Special Servicer will be required to make) a payment from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account that would otherwise be a Property Advance with respect to a Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) notwithstanding that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer has determined that such a Property Advance would, if advanced, be a Nonrecoverable Property Advance, if making the payment would prevent (i) the related Mortgaged Property from being uninsured or being sold at a tax sale or (ii) any event that would cause a loss of the priority of the lien of the related Mortgage, or the loss of any security for the related Mortgage Loan, or would remediate any adverse environmental condition or circumstance at the related Mortgaged Property, if, in each instance, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that making the payment is in the best interest of the Certificateholders and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) (as a collective whole as if the Certificateholders and/or the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) constituted a single lender) (and with respect to the Charles River Plaza North Whole Loan, taking into account the subordinate nature of the Charles River Plaza North Subordinate Companion Loan). If the Special Servicer makes such a determination, it shall notify the Master Servicer and the Master Servicer shall make such payment from the Collection Account. No costs incurred by the Master Servicer in effecting the payment of taxes and assessments on the Mortgaged Properties shall, for the purpose of calculating distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the amount owing under the related Mortgage Loans, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loans so permit.

 

(b)          The Master Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received pursuant to any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan constituting Escrow Payments separate and apart from any of its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more segregated custodial accounts (each, an “Escrow Account”) into which all Escrow Payments shall be deposited within two (2) Business Days after receipt of properly identified funds. The Master Servicer shall also deposit into each applicable Escrow Account any amounts representing losses on Permitted Investments to the extent required by Section 3.07(b) of this Agreement and any Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds which are required to be

 

-150-
 

 

applied to the restoration or repair of any Mortgaged Property pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan. Escrow Accounts shall be Eligible Accounts (except to the extent the related Mortgage Loan requires or permits it to be held in an account that is not an Eligible Account) and shall be entitled, “Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, on behalf of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee for the benefit of the registered Holders of CSAIL 2015-C3 Commercial Mortgage Trust, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2015-C3, any related Companion Loan Holders, and Various Mortgagors.” Withdrawals from an Escrow Account may be made by the Master Servicer only:

 

(i)           to effect timely payments of items constituting Escrow Payments for the related Mortgage Loan Documents and in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable;

 

(ii)          to transfer funds to the Collection Account and/or the applicable Serviced Whole Loan Custodial Account to reimburse the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, for any Property Advance (with interest thereon at the Advance Rate) relating to Escrow Payments, but only from amounts received with respect to the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable, which represent late collections of Escrow Payments thereunder;

 

(iii)         for application to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable, and the Servicing Standard;

 

(iv)         to clear and terminate such Escrow Account upon the termination of this Agreement;

 

(v)          to pay from time to time to the related Mortgagor (a) any interest or investment income earned on funds deposited in the Escrow Account if such income is required to be paid to the related Mortgagor under law or by the terms of the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable, or otherwise to the Master Servicer and (b) any other funds required to be released to the related Mortgagors pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan Documents; and

 

(vi)         to remove any funds deposited in an Escrow Account that were not required to be deposited therein.

 

In the event any Mortgage Loan Documents permit the lender, at the discretion of the lender, to use letters of credit and/or cash reserves to prepay the related Mortgage Loan prior to the Maturity Date and in the absence of an event of default or acceleration of the Mortgage Loan, then the Master Servicer shall hold such amounts in an Escrow Account for so long as the Mortgage Loan Documents permit such discretion.

 

(c)          [Reserved.]

 

(d)          To the extent that (i) an operations and maintenance plan is required to be established and executed pursuant to the terms of a Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or a Serviced Whole Loan, or (ii) any repairs, capital improvements, actions or

 

-151-
 

 

remediations are required to have been taken or completed pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Whole Loan, the Master Servicer shall determine in accordance with the Servicing Standard (which determination may be made on the basis of inquiry to the Mortgagor and this sentence shall in no event be construed to require a physical inspection other than inspections described in Section 3.18 of this Agreement; provided that all deliveries required to be made to Master Servicer under the related Mortgage Loan Documents of supporting documentation have been made; then the Master Servicer shall report the then-current status as a failure) whether the related Mortgagor has failed to perform such obligations under the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan as of the date required under the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan and report any such failure to the Special Servicer, the Companion Loan Holders and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative within a reasonable time after the date as of which such actions or remediations are required to be or to have been taken or completed.

 

Section 3.05     Collection Account; Distribution Accounts; Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account; and Excess Interest Distribution Account.

 

(a)          The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain the Collection Account in the Master Servicer’s name on behalf of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Trustee as the Holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests. The Collection Account shall be established and maintained as an Eligible Account. As and when required under this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall transfer to the Collection Account any amounts to be transferred thereto from a Serviced Whole Loan Custodial Account as contemplated by Section 3.06A(a)(i) of this Agreement. In addition, the Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the Collection Account within two (2) Business Days following receipt of properly identified funds the following payments and collections received or made by it on or with respect to the Mortgage Loans (other than any Mortgage Loan related to a Serviced Whole Loan):

 

(i)           all payments on account of principal on such Mortgage Loans, including the principal component of Unscheduled Payments;

 

(ii)          all payments on account of interest on such Mortgage Loans (including Excess Interest);

 

(iii)         all Yield Maintenance Charges on such Mortgage Loans;

 

(iv)         any amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 3.07(b) of this Agreement in connection with net losses realized on Permitted Investments with respect to funds held in the Collection Account;

 

(v)          all Net REO Proceeds withdrawn from an REO Account pursuant to Section 3.16(a) of this Agreement and all Net Insurance Proceeds, Net Condemnation and Net Liquidation Proceeds with respect to such Mortgage Loans;

 

(vi)         any amounts received from Mortgagors under such Mortgage Loans that represent (A) recoveries of Property Protection Expenses, (B) any recovery of

 

-152-
 

 

Unliquidated Advances with respect to such Mortgage Loans, or (C) any other reimbursements in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan Documents, in each case to the extent not permitted to be retained by the Master Servicer as provided herein; and

 

(vii)       any other amounts required by the provisions of this Agreement to be deposited into the Collection Account by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, including pursuant to Section 2.03 of this Agreement.

 

The foregoing requirements for deposits in the Collection Account shall be exclusive, it being understood and agreed that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent provided herein, Ancillary Fees, Consent Fees, Assumption Fees, assumption application fees and defeasance fees need not be deposited in the Collection Account by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be entitled to retain any such Ancillary Fees, Consent Fees, Assumption Fees, assumption application fees and/or defeasance fees received with respect to such Mortgage Loans in accordance with Section 3.12 of this Agreement; provided that if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, receives any such Ancillary Fees, Consent Fees, Assumption Fees, assumption application fees and/or defeasance fees in excess of the percentage of such fees to which it is entitled pursuant to Section 3.12(a) (in the case of the Master Servicer) or Section 3.12(c) (in the case of the Special Servicer), then it shall remit to the other party (i.e., the Special Servicer (if Master Servicer has received the excess percentage of such fees) or the Master Servicer (if Special Servicer has received the excess percentage of such fees), as applicable) the percentage of such fees to which such other party is entitled pursuant to Section 3.12(a) or Section 3.12(c), as applicable. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall not deposit any Penalty Charges or Modification Fees received by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, with respect to any Mortgage Loan into the Collection Account and shall instead apply such fees in accordance with Section 3.14 of this Agreement. In the event that the Master Servicer deposits in the Collection Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from the Collection Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. The Master Servicer shall give written notice to the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Special Servicer of the location and account number of the Collection Account and shall notify the Certificate Administrator and the Special Servicer in writing of any subsequent change thereof.

 

Upon receipt of any of the amounts described in clauses (i) through (vii) above with respect to a Mortgage Loan (other than a Mortgage Loan related to a Serviced Whole Loan), the Special Servicer shall promptly, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day after receipt, remit such amounts to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account in accordance with the second preceding paragraph, unless the Special Servicer determines, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that a particular item should not be deposited because of a restrictive endorsement or other appropriate reason. With respect to any such amounts paid by check to the order of the Special Servicer, the Special Servicer shall endorse such check to the order of the Master Servicer, unless the Special Servicer determines, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that a particular item cannot be so endorsed and delivered because of a restrictive endorsement or other appropriate reason. Any such amounts received by the Special Servicer with respect to an REO Property that relates to any Mortgage Loan (other than a

 

-153-
 

 

Mortgage Loan related to a Serviced Whole Loan) shall initially be deposited by the Special Servicer into the related REO Account (or, at the option of the Special Servicer, remitted by the applicable property manager directly to the Master Servicer) and thereafter remitted to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account, all in accordance with Section 3.16 of this Agreement.

 

(b)          The Certificate Administrator shall establish and maintain the Lower-Tier Distribution Account and the Upper-Tier Distribution Account in the name of the Certificate Administrator, in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders. Each of the Distribution Accounts shall be established and maintained as Eligible Accounts or as sub-accounts of a single Eligible Account. With respect to each Distribution Date, on or before such Distribution Date the Certificate Administrator shall be deemed to make or shall make the withdrawals from the Lower-Tier Distribution Account, as set forth in Section 4.01 of this Agreement, shall be deemed to make the deposits into the Lower-Tier Distribution Account and the Upper-Tier Distribution Account, as set forth in Section 4.01 hereof, and shall cause the amount of Available Funds (including P&I Advances) and Yield Maintenance Charges to be distributed in respect of the Certificates, pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof on such date.

 

(c)          The Certificate Administrator shall establish (upon receipt of written notice that an event that generates Excess Liquidation Proceeds has occurred) and maintain the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account shall be maintained separate and apart from trust funds for mortgage pass-through certificates of other series administered by the Certificate Administrator and other accounts of the Certificate Administrator. None of the amounts on deposit in Distribution Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account, the Excess Interest Distribution Account or the Interest Reserve Account may be invested by the Certificate Administrator.

 

Upon the disposition of any REO Property in accordance with Section 3.17 of this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall calculate the Excess Liquidation Proceeds, if any, realized in connection with such sale and remit to the Certificate Administrator such amount for deposit in the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account. Amounts held in the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account on each Distribution Date that exceed amounts reasonably anticipated to be required to offset possible future Realized Losses, as determined by the Special Servicer, and all amounts held in the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account on the final Distribution Date, in each case after application in accordance with Section 4.01(d)(i) of this Agreement, shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class R Certificates in respect of the Lower-Tier Residual Interest.

 

(d)          At any time prior to any Determination Date for the first Prepayment Period during which Excess Interest is received on any ARD Loan, and upon notification from the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.03(a) of this Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall establish and maintain the Excess Interest Distribution Account in the name of the Certificate Administrator for the benefit of the Class Z Certificateholders. The Excess Interest Distribution Account shall be established and maintained as an Eligible Account (or as a subaccount of an Eligible Account). Prior to the applicable Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall withdraw from the Collection Account and remit to the Certificate Administrator

 

-154-
 

 

on the applicable Master Servicer Remittance Date for deposit in the Excess Interest Distribution Account an amount equal to the Excess Interest received prior to the Determination Date for the applicable Prepayment Period.

 

The Certificate Administrator shall, on any Distribution Date, make withdrawals from the Excess Interest Distribution Account to the extent required to make the distributions of Excess Interest required by Section 4.01(k) of this Agreement.

 

Following the distribution of Excess Interest to Class Z Certificateholders on the first Distribution Date after which there are no longer any ARD Loans outstanding, the Certificate Administrator shall terminate the Excess Interest Distribution Account.

 

(e)          [Reserved]

 

(f)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each Distribution Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account and the Interest Reserve Account may all be sub-accounts of a single Eligible Account. For the avoidance of doubt, the Collection Account, the Lower-Tier Distribution Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account and the Interest Reserve Account (including interest, if any, earned on the investment of funds in such accounts) will be owned by the Lower-Tier REMIC, the Upper-Tier Distribution Account (including interest, if any, earned on the investor of funds in such account) will be owned by the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Excess Interest Distribution Account (including interest, if any, earned on the investment in such accounts) will be owned by the Grantor Trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Class Z Certificates, each, for federal income tax purposes.

The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall not deposit any Penalty Charges and Modification Fees received by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan into the related Serviced Whole Loan Custodial Account and shall instead apply such fees (except to the extent not permitted under the related Co-Lender Agreement) in accordance with Section 3.14 of this Agreement. In the event that the Master Servicer deposits in a Serviced Whole Loan Custodial Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from such Serviced Whole Loan Custodial Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. The Master Servicer shall give written notice to the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the related Companion Loan Holders and the Special Servicer of the location and account number of each Serviced Whole Loan Custodial Account and shall notify the Certificate

The Master Servicer shall also deposit from its own funds in any Mortgagor Account the amount of any loss incurred in respect of Permitted Investments, except to the extent that amounts are invested for the benefit of the Mortgagor under the terms of the Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole Loan) or applicable law, provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator (in their respective capacities as Master Servicer, Special Servicer and Certificate Administrator, respectively) shall be required to deposit any loss on an investment of funds in an Investment Account if such loss is incurred solely as a result of the insolvency of the federal or state chartered depository institution or trust company that holds such Investment Account, so long as such depository institution or trust company is not the Person or an Affiliate of the Person

In the event the Trustee takes any such action, the Trust Fund shall pay or reimburse the Trustee for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in connection therewith. In the event that the Trustee does not take any such action, the Master Servicer may, but is not obligated to, take such action at its own cost and expense.

(with respect to the Charles River Plaza North Whole Loan, for so long as the related Subordinate Companion Loan Holder is the related Whole Loan Directing Holder) or (C) with the consent of the WPC Department Store Portfolio Directing Holder (with respect to the WPC Department Store Portfolio Whole Loan), as applicable), shall cause to be maintained for each REO Property no less insurance coverage than was previously required of the Mortgagor under the related Mortgage Loan Documents (except to the extent that the failure to maintain such insurance coverage is an Acceptable Insurance Default); provided that to the extent the Mortgage Loan Documents require the related Mortgagor to maintain insurance with an insurer rated better than as indicated in the definition of “Qualified Insurer”, the Master Servicer may, without a Rating Agency Confirmation or the approval of the Special Servicer, to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard, permit the related Mortgagor to maintain insurance with an insurer that does not meet the requirements of the Mortgage Loan Documents so long as the related Mortgagor maintains insurance with an insurer rated at least as indicated in the definition of “Qualified Insurer”. All insurance for an REO Property shall be from a Qualified Insurer, if available from a Qualified Insurer, and if not available from a Qualified Insurer, from an insurance provider that is rated the next highest available rating who is offering such insurance at commercially reasonable rates. Any amounts collected by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer under any such policies (other than amounts required to be applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property or amounts to be released to the Mortgagor in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents) shall be deposited into the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05 of this Agreement or the Serviced Whole Loan Custodial Account pursuant to Section 3.05A of this Agreement, as applicable, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.05, Section 3.05A, Section 3.06 or Section 3.06A of this Agreement. Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in maintaining any such insurance shall not, for the purpose of calculating distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan so permit. It is understood and agreed that no other additional insurance other than flood insurance or earthquake insurance subject to the conditions set forth below is to be required of any Mortgagor or to be maintained by the Master Servicer other than pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents and pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. If the Mortgaged Property (other than an REO Property and other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) is located in a federally designated special flood hazard area, the Master Servicer will use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the related Mortgagor to maintain, to the extent required by each Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, and if the related Mortgagor does not so maintain, shall itself obtain (subject to the provisions of this Agreement concerning Nonrecoverable Advances) and maintain flood insurance in respect thereof. Such flood insurance shall be in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan and the related Companion Loan and (ii) the maximum amount of such insurance required by the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan and as is available for the related property under the national flood insurance program (assuming that the area in which such property is located is participating in such program). If a Mortgaged Property (other than an REO Property) is related to a Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Whole Loan pursuant to which earthquake insurance is required to be maintained pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, the Master Servicer shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the

 

-170-
 

 

related Mortgagor to maintain, and if the related Mortgagor does not so maintain will itself obtain (subject to the provisions of this Agreement concerning Nonrecoverable Advances and for so long as such insurance continues to be available at commercially reasonable rates) and maintain earthquake insurance in respect thereof, in the amount required by the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan or, if not specified, in-place at origination. If an REO Property (i) is located in a federally designated special flood hazard area or (ii) is related to a Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Whole Loan with respect to which earthquake insurance would be appropriate in accordance with the Servicing Standard and such insurance is available at commercially reasonable rates, the Special Servicer will obtain (subject to the provisions of this Agreement concerning Nonrecoverable Advances) and maintain flood insurance and/or earthquake insurance in respect thereof providing the same coverage as described in this Section 3.08(a). Out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer in maintaining insurance policies pursuant to this Section 3.08 shall be advanced by the Master Servicer as a Property Advance and shall be reimbursable to the Master Servicer with interest at the Advance Rate. The Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer, with respect to the REO Mortgage Loans) agrees to prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders, claims under each related insurance policy maintained by it pursuant to this Section 3.08(a) in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy and to take such reasonable steps as are necessary to receive payment or to permit recovery thereunder. All insurance policies required to be maintained by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer hereunder shall name the Trustee or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee, as loss payee, and shall be issued by Qualified Insurers, if available from a Qualified Insurer, and if not available from a Qualified Insurer, from an insurance provider that is rated the next highest available rating who is offering such insurance at commercially reasonable rates. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (A) the Master Servicer shall not be required to maintain any earthquake or environmental insurance policy on any Mortgaged Property and the Special Servicer shall not be required to maintain any earthquake or environmental insurance policy on any REO Property, in each case unless such insurance is required to be maintained under the related Mortgage Loan Documents and is available at commercially reasonable rates; provided, however, that neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall have any obligation to maintain such earthquake or environmental insurance policy required under the related Mortgage Loan Documents if the originator of the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan waived compliance with such insurance requirements (and if the applicable Master Servicer does not cause the Mortgagor to maintain or does not itself maintain such earthquake or environmental insurance policy on any Mortgaged Property, the Special Servicer shall have the right, but not the duty, to obtain, at the Trust’s expense, earthquake or environmental insurance on any Mortgaged Property securing a Specially Serviced Loan or an REO Property so long as such insurance is available at commercially reasonable rates); (B) with respect to the Master Servicer’s obligation to cause the related Mortgagor to maintain such insurance, the Master Servicer shall have no obligation beyond using its efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause any Mortgagor to maintain the insurance required to be maintained or that the lender is entitled to reasonably require, subject to applicable law, under the related Mortgage Loan Documents; and (C) in making determinations as to the availability of insurance at commercially reasonable rates or otherwise, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall, to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard, be entitled to rely, at its own expense, on

 

-171-
 

 

insurance consultants in making such determination and any such determinations by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, need not be made more frequently than annually but in any event shall be made at the approximate date on which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, receives notice of the renewal, replacement or cancellation of coverage.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall not be required to maintain, and shall not cause a Mortgagor to be in default with respect to the failure of the related Mortgagor to obtain, all risk casualty insurance which does not contain any carve out for terrorist or similar acts, if, and only if, the Special Servicer has determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard that the failure to maintain such insurance is an Acceptable Insurance Default; provided that, during the period that the Special Servicer is evaluating such insurance hereunder, the Master Servicer shall not be liable for any loss related to its failure to require the Mortgagor to maintain terrorism insurance and shall not be in default of its obligations hereunder as a result of such failure. The Special Servicer shall promptly notify the Master Servicer of each determination under this paragraph.

 

(b)          (i) If the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer obtains and maintains a blanket insurance policy insuring against fire and hazard losses on all of the Mortgaged Properties (other than REO Properties and other than with respect to the Mortgaged Properties that secure the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans) as to which the related Mortgagor has not maintained insurance required by the related Mortgage Loan or, if applicable, related Serviced Whole Loan (other than any Mortgagor that is required under the related Mortgage Loan Documents to maintain insurance with an insurer rated better than as indicated in the definition of “Qualified Insurer” that maintains insurance with an insurer rated at least as indicated in the definition of “Qualified Insurer”)) or the Special Servicer obtains and maintains a blanket insurance policy insuring against fire and hazard losses on all of the REO Properties (other than REO Properties acquired in respect of any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), as required under this Agreement, as the case may be, then the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its respective obligations concerning the maintenance of insurance coverage set forth in Section 3.08(a) of this Agreement. Any such blanket insurance policy shall be maintained with a Qualified Insurer. A blanket insurance policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall, in the event that (i) there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property a policy otherwise complying with the provisions of Section 3.08(a) of this Agreement, and (ii) there shall have been one or more losses which would have been covered by such a policy had it been maintained, immediately deposit into the Collection Account or, if applicable, related Serviced Whole Loan Custodial Account from its own funds the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible clause to the extent that any such deductible exceeds the deductible limitation that pertained to the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, or, in the absence of any such deductible limitation, the deductible limitation which is consistent with the Servicing Standard. In connection with its activities as Master Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder, as applicable, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, respectively, agree to prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and Certificateholder and any related Companion Loan Holder, claims under any such blanket policy which it maintains in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy

 

-172-
 

 

and to take such reasonable steps as are necessary to receive payment or permit recovery thereunder.

 

(ii)          If the Master Servicer causes any Mortgaged Property (other than any REO Property and other than with respect to the Mortgaged Property that secures a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or the Special Servicer causes any REO Property (other than an REO Property acquired in respect of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) to be covered by a master force placed insurance policy and such policy shall be issued by a Qualified Insurer and provide no less coverage in scope and amount for such Mortgaged Property or REO Property than the insurance required to be maintained pursuant to Section 3.08(a) of this Agreement, then the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its respective obligations to maintain insurance pursuant to Section 3.08(a) of this Agreement. Such policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall, in the event that (i) there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property a policy otherwise complying with the provisions of Section 3.08(a), and (ii) there shall have been one or more losses which would have been covered by such a policy had it been maintained, immediately deposit into the Collection Account or, if applicable, related Serviced Whole Loan Custodial Account from its own funds the amount not otherwise payable under such policy because of such deductible to the extent that any such deductible exceeds the deductible limitation that pertained to the related Mortgage Loan and/or related Companion Loan(s) related thereto, or, in the absence of any such deductible limitation, the deductible limitation which is consistent with the Servicing Standard.

 

(iii)         In either case, if the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, causes any Mortgaged Property or REO Property to be covered by such “force-placed” insurance policy, the incremental costs of such insurance applicable to such Mortgaged Property or REO Property (i.e., other than any minimum or standby premium payable for such policy whether or not any Mortgaged Property or REO Property is covered thereby) shall be paid as a Property Advance. Any legal fees or other out-of-pocket costs incurred in accordance with the Servicing Standard in connection with any claim under an insurance policy described above (whether by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer) shall be paid by, and reimbursable to, the Master Servicer as a Property Advance.

 

(c)          The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each maintain a fidelity bond in such form as is consistent with the Servicing Standard and in such amounts that are consistent with the Servicing Standard. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each shall be deemed to have complied with this provision if one of its respective Affiliates has such fidelity bond coverage and, by the terms of such fidelity bond, the coverage afforded thereunder extends to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable. In addition, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each keep in force during the term of this Agreement a policy or policies of insurance covering loss occasioned by the errors and omissions of its officers and employees in connection with its obligations to service the Mortgage Loans and Serviced Companion Loans hereunder in such form as is consistent with the Servicing Standard and in such amounts as are consistent with the Servicing Standard. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the long-term unsecured debt rating of the Master Servicer (or its corporate

 

-173-
 

 

parent) or the Special Servicer (or its corporate parent) is not in any event less than “A3” as rated by Moody’s and “A-” as rated by Fitch, respectively, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may self-insure for the fidelity bond and errors and omissions coverage otherwise required above. The Master Servicer shall cause each and every Sub-Servicer for it to maintain or cause to be maintained by an agent or contractor servicing any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan on behalf of such Sub-Servicer, a fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy which satisfy the requirements for the fidelity bond and the errors and omissions policy to be maintained by the Master Servicer to comply with the foregoing. All fidelity bonds and policies of errors and omissions insurance obtained under this Section 3.08(c) shall be issued by a Qualified Insurer.

 

Section 3.09     Enforcement of Due-On-Sale and Due-On-Encumbrance Clauses; Assumption Agreements; Defeasance Provisions.

 

(a)          Upon receipt of any request of a consent or waiver in respect of a due-on-sale or due-on encumbrance provision, the Special Servicer shall (a) with respect to Specially Serviced Loans, determine, in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard, or (b) with respect to non-Specially Serviced Loans, determine, in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard (or, if mutually agreed to by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer shall determine, in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard and subject to the consent of the Special Servicer), whether to grant such waiver request and, if granted, shall promptly process such consent or waiver (including the preparation of written materials). The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall close the related transaction and, subject to the consultation and/or consent rights (if any) of the Controlling Class Representative, any related Whole Loan Directing Holder or the WPC Department Store Portfolio Directing Holder or the consultation rights of any related Companion Loan Holder (or its Companion Loan Holder Representative) as provided in this Section 3.09(a) and as otherwise provided in the related Co-Lender Agreement and this Agreement, and subject to Section 3.09(b), 3.21, 3.24, 3.25 and Section 3.27; provided, however, that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall not enter into any such agreement to the extent that any terms thereof would result in (i) the imposition of a tax on a Trust REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes at any time that any Certificate is outstanding or (ii) create any lien on a Mortgaged Property that is senior to, or on parity with, the lien of the related Mortgage. With respect to (i) non-Specially Serviced Loans, the Special Servicer or, if mutually agreed to by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer (subject to the Special Servicer’s consent) or (ii) Specially Serviced Loans, the Special Servicer, each in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard and each on behalf of the Trustee as the mortgagee of record, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, enforce the restrictions contained in the related Mortgage on transfers or further encumbrances of the related Mortgaged Property and on transfers or further encumbrances of interests in the related Mortgagor, unless following its receipt of a request of a consent or waiver in respect of a due-on-sale or due-on-encumbrance provision, the Special Servicer (or, with respect to non-Specially Serviced Loans, if mutually agreed to by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, subject to the Special Servicer’s consent) has determined, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that the waiver of such restrictions would be in accordance with the Servicing Standard. Promptly after the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer has made any such determination to waive enforcement of a due-on-sale or due-on-encumbrance provision, the

 

-174-
 

 

Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, shall deliver to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, each other party to this Agreement and, for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 11.13 of this Agreement, the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the basis for such determination; provided that, with respect to all Mortgage Loans and Serviced Whole Loans, the Special Servicer shall, prior to taking such an action or consenting to the Master Servicer’s taking of such an action, (A) obtain the written consent of the Controlling Class Representative (unless a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing), (B) if a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, consult with the Controlling Class Representative (unless a Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing), or (C) with respect to the Charles River Plaza North Whole Loan or the WPC Department Store Portfolio Whole Loan, obtain the written consent of the related Whole Loan Directing Holder (with respect to the Charles River Plaza North Whole Loan, for so long as the related Subordinate Companion Loan Holder or its designee is the related Whole Loan Directing Holder) or the WPC Department Store Portfolio Directing Holder (with respect to the WPC Department Store Portfolio Whole Loan), which consent shall be deemed given ten (10) Business Days after receipt (unless earlier objected to) by the Controlling Class Representative or related Whole Loan Directing Holder, as applicable, of the written recommendation of the Special Servicer for such action and any additional information the Controlling Class Representative or the related Whole Loan Directing Holder, as applicable, may reasonably request for the analysis of such request, which recommendation and information may be delivered in an electronic format reasonably acceptable to Controlling Class Representative or the related Whole Loan Directing Holder, as applicable, and the Special Servicer. In addition, the Special Servicer or (if mutually agreed to by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer that the Master Servicer will determine whether to grant such waiver and, if granted, will process, subject to the consent of the Special Servicer, such transaction) the Master Servicer, as applicable, may not grant its consent with respect to or waive any “due-on-encumbrance” provision unless (1) the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, shall have received a prior written Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such action or (2) the related Mortgage Loan (including a Mortgage Loan related to a Serviced Whole Loan) (A) represents less than 2% the principal balance of all of the Mortgage Loans in the Trust Fund, (B) has a principal balance that is equal to or less than $20,000,000, (C) has a Loan-to-Value Ratio equal to or less than 85% (including any existing and proposed debt), (D) has a Debt Service Coverage Ratio equal to or greater than 1.20x (in each case, determined based upon the aggregate of the Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable, and the principal balance of the proposed additional lien) and (E) is not one of the 10 largest Mortgage Loans in the Mortgage Pool based on principal balance (although no such Rating Agency Confirmation will be required if such Mortgage Loan has a principal balance less than $10,000,000). Further, the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, may not grant its consent with respect to or waive any “due-on-sale” provision unless the Special Servicer or (in the case of a non-Specially Serviced Loan, if mutually agreed to by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer that the Master Servicer will determine and process, subject to the consent of the Special Servicer, such waiver and transaction) the Master Servicer, as applicable, shall have received a prior written Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such action unless the related Mortgage Loan (including a Mortgage Loan related to a Serviced Whole Loan) (A) represents less than 5% the principal balance of all of the Mortgage Loans in the Trust Fund, (B) has a principal balance that is equal to or less than $35,000,000 and (C) is not one of the 10

 

-175-
 

 

largest Mortgage Loans in the Mortgage Pool based on principal balance (although no such Rating Agency Confirmation will be required if such Mortgage Loan has a principal balance less than $10,000,000). For the purposes of this Agreement, due-on-sale provisions shall include, without limitation, any rights arising out of sales or transfers of Mortgaged Properties, in full or in part, or the sale, transfer, pledge or hypothecation of direct or indirect interests in any Mortgagor or its owner, to the extent prohibited under the related Mortgage Loan Documents, and due on encumbrance provisions shall include, without limitation, any rights arising out of any mezzanine/subordinate financing of any Mortgagor or any Mortgaged Property or any sale or transfer of preferred equity in any Mortgagor or its owners, to the extent prohibited under the related Mortgage Loan Documents.

 

The Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable (in each case, if it is the party processing the related request pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 3.09(a)), shall notify in writing the other party, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider (for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 11.13 of this Agreement), the Operating Advisor (only after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event) and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Loan Holder, of any assumption or substitution agreement executed pursuant to this Section 3.09(a) and shall forward thereto a copy of such agreement.

 

In connection with any request for a Rating Agency Confirmation from a Rating Agency pursuant to this Section 3.09(a), the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable (in each case, if it is the party processing the related request pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 3.09(a)), shall deliver a Review Package to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 11.13 of this Agreement.

 

Further, subject to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents and applicable law, the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable (in each case, if it is the party processing the related request pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 3.09(a)), shall use reasonable efforts to ensure that all costs in connection with any assumption or encumbrance, including any arising from seeking a Rating Agency Confirmation, are paid by the related Mortgagor. To the extent not collected from the related Mortgagor after the use of such efforts, any rating agency charges in connection with the foregoing shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Property Advance (or as an Additional Trust Fund Expense if such Property Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance).

 

To the extent not prohibited by the applicable Mortgage Loan Documents and applicable law, the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, may charge the related Mortgagor a fee in connection with any enforcement or waiver contemplated in this subsection (a); provided that any such fee shall be applied as if it were a Modification Fee and/or Assumption Fee, as applicable, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

 

(b)          Nothing in this Section 3.09 shall constitute a waiver of the Trustee’s right, as the mortgagee of record, to receive notice of any assumption of a Mortgage Loan, any sale or other transfer of the related Mortgaged Property or the creation of any lien or other encumbrance with respect to such Mortgaged Property.

 

-176-
 

 

(c)          In connection with the taking of, or the failure to take, any action pursuant to this Section 3.09, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall agree to modify, waive or amend, and no assumption or substitution agreement entered into pursuant to Section 3.09(a) of this Agreement shall contain any terms that are different from, any term of any Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan or the related Note(s), other than pursuant to Section 3.24 of this Agreement.

 

(d)          With respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Whole Loan which permits release of Mortgaged Properties through defeasance and to the extent consistent with the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents:

 

(i)           In the event such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan requires that the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee purchase the required “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, or any other securities that comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii), the Master Servicer, an accommodation Mortgagor pursuant to clause (v) below or the Mortgagor shall, at the Mortgagor’s expense (to the extent consistent with the Mortgage Loan Documents), purchase or cause the purchase of such obligations in accordance with the terms of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan and deliver to the Master Servicer, in the case of the Mortgagor, or in the case of the Master Servicer, hold the same on behalf of the Trust Fund and, if applicable, the related Companion Loan Holder; provided that, subject to the related Mortgage Loan Documents, the Master Servicer shall not accept the amounts paid by the related Mortgagor to effect defeasance until acceptable “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, or any other securities that comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii) have been identified, in each case which are acceptable as defeasance collateral under the then most recently published current guidelines of the Rating Agencies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to certain Mortgage Loans originated or acquired by Column, UBSRES, BSPCC, Bancorp and Bank of New York Mellon that are subject to defeasance, (i) each of Column, UBSRES, BSPCC, Bancorp and Bank of New York Mellon has retained on behalf of itself or its affiliate the right, if any, to establish or designate the successor borrower and (ii) each of Column, UBSRES, BSPCC and Bank of New York Mellon has retained on behalf of itself or its affiliate the right, if any, to purchase or cause to be purchased the related defeasance collateral (collectively, the “Loan Seller Defeasance Rights and Obligations”). In the event the Master Servicer receives notice of a defeasance request with respect to a Mortgage Loan that provides for Loan Seller Defeasance Rights and Obligations in the related Mortgage Loan Documents, the Master Servicer shall provide, within five (5) business days of receipt of such notice, written notice of such defeasance request to Column, UBSRES, BSPCC, Bancorp and Bank of New York Mellon, as applicable, in the case of the Mortgage Loans for which Column, UBSRES, BSPCC, Bancorp and Bank of New York Mellon, as applicable is the related Mortgage Loan Seller. Until such time as Column, UBSRES, BSPCC, Bancorp and Bank of New York Mellon, as applicable, provides written notice to the contrary, notice of a defeasance of a Mortgage Loan with Loan Seller Defeasance Rights and Obligations shall be delivered to Column, UBSRES, BSPCC, Bancorp and Bank of New York Mellon, as applicable, pursuant to the notice provisions hereof.

 

-177-
 

 

(ii)          The Master Servicer shall require, to the extent the Mortgage Loan Documents grant the mortgagee discretion to so require, delivery of an Opinion of Counsel (which shall be an expense of the related Mortgagor to the extent consistent with the related Mortgage Loan Documents) to the effect that the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders has a first priority security interest in the defeasance deposit and the “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, or any other securities that comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii), and the assignment thereof is valid and enforceable; such opinion, together with any other certificates or documents to be required in connection with such defeasance shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Master Servicer.

 

(iii)         The Master Servicer shall obtain, to the extent the Mortgage Loan Documents grant the mortgagee discretion to so obtain, a certificate (which shall be an expense of the related Mortgagor to the extent consistent with the related Mortgage Loan Documents) from an Independent certified public accountant certifying that the “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, or any other securities that comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii), comply with the requirements of the related Loan Agreement or Mortgage.

 

(iv)          To the extent consistent with the related Mortgage Loan Documents, prior to permitting release of any Mortgaged Properties through defeasance, the Master Servicer shall (at the Mortgagor’s expense) obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation; provided that the Master Servicer shall not be required to obtain such Rating Agency Confirmation from any Rating Agency to the extent that the Master Servicer has delivered a defeasance certificate to each Rating Agency substantially in the form of Exhibit DD to this Agreement for any Mortgage Loan that, at the time of such defeasance, is (x) not one of the ten largest Mortgage Loans by Stated Principal Balance, (y) a Mortgage Loan with a Stated Principal Balance equal to or less than $35,000,000 and (z) a Mortgage Loan that represents less than 5% of the Stated Principal Balance of all Mortgage Loans.

 

(v)          If the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan permits the related Mortgagor or the lender or its designee to cause an accommodation Mortgagor to assume such defeased obligations, the Master Servicer shall, or shall cause the Mortgagor to, establish at the Mortgagor’s cost and expense (and shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the related Mortgagor to consent to such assumption) a special purpose bankruptcy-remote entity to assume such obligations, as to which the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator has received a Rating Agency Confirmation (if such confirmation is required pursuant to the then most recently published guidelines of the Rating Agencies).

 

(vi)         To the extent consistent with the related Mortgage Loan Documents, the Master Servicer shall require the related Mortgagor to pay all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the defeasance of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan. In the event that the Mortgagor is not required to pay any such costs and expenses under

 

-178-
 

 

the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents, such costs and expenses shall be Additional Trust Fund Expenses.

 

(vii)        In no event shall the Master Servicer have liability to any party hereto or beneficiary hereof for obtaining a Rating Agency Confirmation (or conditioning approval of defeasance on the delivery of a Rating Agency Confirmation) or for imposing conditions to approval of a defeasance on the satisfaction of conditions that are consistent with the Servicing Standard but are not required under Rating Agency guidelines (provided that this shall not protect the Master Servicer from any liability that may be imposed as a result of the violation of applicable law or the Mortgage Loan Documents).

 

(viii)       The Master Servicer may accept as defeasance collateral of any “government security,” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation’s Section 1.860G-(2)(a)(8)(ii), notwithstanding any more restrictive requirements in the Mortgage Loan Documents; provided that the Master Servicer has received an Opinion of Counsel that acceptance of such defeasance collateral will not endanger the status of either Trust REMIC as a REMIC or result in the imposition of a tax upon either Trust REMIC or the Trust Fund (including but not limited to the tax on “prohibited transactions” as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860G(d) of the Code, but not including the tax on “net income from foreclosure property” as set forth in Section 860G(c) of the Code).

 

(e)          Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.09, without any other approval or consent, the Master Servicer (for Mortgage Loans and Serviced Whole Loans other than Specially Serviced Loans) or the Special Servicer (for Specially Serviced Loans) may grant and process a Mortgagor’s request for (i) consent to subject the related Mortgaged Property to an immaterial easement, a right of way or similar agreement for utilities, access, parking, public improvements or another purpose, (ii) consent to subordination of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan to such easement, right of way or similar agreement and (iii) consent to any other matter that is not a Major Decision or (other than in the case of the Special Servicer) Special Servicer Decision; provided that the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, (a) shall have determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such easement, right of way or similar agreement or other matter will not materially and adversely affect the operation or value of such Mortgaged Property or the Trust Fund’s interest in the Mortgaged Property and (b) shall have determined that such easement, right of way or similar agreement or other matter will not cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may rely on an Opinion of Counsel in making any such determination under clause (b) above.

 

Section 3.10     Appraisal Reductions; Realization Upon Defaulted Mortgage Loans.

 

(a)          Promptly upon the occurrence of an Appraisal Reduction Event (other than with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), the Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to obtain an updated Appraisal of the Mortgaged Property or REO Property, as the case may be, the costs of which shall be advanced by, and reimbursable to the Master Servicer, as a

 

-179-
 

 

Property Advance (or as an expense of the Trust Fund and paid by the Master Servicer out of the Collection Account if such Property Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance); provided, however, that the Special Servicer shall not be required to obtain an updated Appraisal of any Mortgaged Property with respect to which there exists an Appraisal which is less than nine months old unless the Special Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that such previously obtained Appraisal is materially inaccurate. With respect to Mortgage Loans for which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred and still exists, the Special Servicer shall obtain annual letter updates to any updated Appraisal. Any Appraisal prepared in order to determine the Appraisal Reduction Amount with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan shall be delivered by the Special Servicer, upon request, to each related Companion Loan Holder.

 

The Certificate Principal Balance of each of the Certificates shall be notionally reduced (solely for purposes of determining the identity of the Non-Reduced Certificates and the Controlling Class as well as the occurrence of a Control Termination Event) as of any date of determination to the extent of the Appraisal Reduction Amount(s) allocated to such Class on the preceding Distribution Date. The aggregate Appraisal Reduction Amount for any Distribution Date shall be applied to notionally reduce the Certificate Principal Balances of the following Classes of Certificates in the following order of priority: first, to the Class NR Certificates; second, to the Class F Certificates; third, to the Class E Certificates; fourth, to the Class D Certificates; fifth, to the Class C Certificates; sixth, to the Class B Certificates; seventh, to the Class A-S Certificates; and finally, pro rata to the (i) Class A-1 Certificates, (ii) Class A-2 Certificates, (iii) Class A-3 Certificates, (iv) Class A-4 Certificates and (v) Class A-SB Certificates, based on their respective Certificate Principal Balances (provided in each case that no Certificate Principal Balance in respect of any such Class may be notionally reduced below zero). With respect to any Appraisal Reduction Amount calculated for the purposes of determining the Non-Reduced Certificates or the Controlling Class, as well as the occurrence of a Control Termination Event, the appraised value of the related Mortgaged Property shall be determined on an “as-is” basis.

 

The Special Servicer shall promptly notify the Certificate Administrator and Master Servicer in writing of the determination of any such Appraisal Reduction Amount, and the Certificate Administrator upon receipt of such notice shall promptly post notice of such determination of any such Appraisal Reduction Amount to the Certificate Administrator’s website.

 

Any Appraisal Reduction Amounts with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan (other than the Charles River Plaza North Whole Loan) shall be allocated to the related Mortgage Loan and each related Serviced Companion Loan on a pro rata and pari passu basis in accordance with the respective outstanding principal balances of such related Mortgage Loan and the related Serviced Companion Loan(s). Any Appraisal Reduction Amounts with respect to the Charles River Plaza North Whole Loan shall be allocated first to the related Subordinate Companion Loan, up to its principal balance, and then to the related Mortgage Loan and the related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s) on a pro rata and pari passu basis in accordance with the respective outstanding principal balances of such related Mortgage Loan and the related Pari Passu Companion Loan(s).

 

-180-
 

 

The Holders of Certificates representing the majority of the Certificate Principal Balance of any Class of Control Eligible Certificates that is or would be determined to no longer be the Controlling Class (such Class, an “Appraised-Out Class”) as a result of an allocation of an Appraisal Reduction Amount in respect of such Class shall have the right to challenge the Special Servicer’s Appraisal Reduction Amount determination and, at their sole expense, obtain a second Appraisal of any Mortgage Loan for which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred (such Holders, the “Requesting Holders”). The Requesting Holders shall cause the Appraisal to be prepared on an “as-is” basis by an MAI Appraiser in accordance with Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (as confirmed by the Special Servicer), and the Appraisal scope and analysis (but not the valuation) shall be reasonably acceptable to the Special Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard. The Requesting Holders shall provide the Special Servicer with notice of their intent to challenge the Special Servicer’s Appraisal Reduction Amount determination within 10 days of the Requesting Holders’ receipt of written notice of the determination of such Appraisal Reduction Amount.

 

In addition to the foregoing, the Holders of Certificates representing the majority of the Certificate Principal Balance of any Appraised-Out Class shall have the right, at their sole expense, to require the Special Servicer to order an additional Appraisal of any Mortgage Loan for which an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred if an event has occurred at or with regard to the related Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties (including, without limitation, a material change in market values) that would have a material effect on its Appraised Value, and the Special Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to ensure that such Appraisal is delivered within 30 days from receipt of such Holders’ written request and shall ensure that such Appraisal is prepared on an “as-is” basis by an Appraiser in accordance with MAI standards; provided that the Special Servicer shall not be required to obtain such Appraisal if the Special Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that no events at or with regard to the related Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties (including, without limitation, a material change in market values) have occurred that would have a material effect on such Appraised Value of the related Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties.

 

Upon receipt of an Appraisal provided by, or requested by, Holders of an Appraised-Out Class pursuant to this Section and any other information reasonably requested by the Special Servicer from the Master Servicer reasonably required to calculate or recalculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount, the Special Servicer shall determine, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, whether, based on its assessment of such additional Appraisal, any recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount is warranted and, if so warranted, shall recalculate such Appraisal Reduction Amount based upon such additional Appraisal. If required by any such recalculation, the Appraised-Out Class shall be reinstated as the Controlling Class. The Special Servicer shall promptly deliver notice to the Certificate Administrator of any such determination and recalculation, and the Certificate Administrator shall promptly post such notice to the Certificate Administrator’s Website. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the holder of the Charles River Plaza North Subordinate Companion Loan shall be entitled to post cash collateral or a letter of credit pursuant to the Charles River Plaza North Co-Lender Agreement to offset any Appraisal Reduction Amount with respect to the Charles River Plaza North Whole Loan and/or to require the Special Servicer to order a new appraisal to recalculate any appraisal reductions, all in accordance with and subject to the conditions of the Charles River Plaza North Co-Lender Agreement. If the holder of the Charles River Plaza North Subordinate Companion

 

-181-
 

 

Loan delivers any “Threshold Event Collateral” (as defined in the Charles River Plaza North Co-Lender Agreement), then such Threshold Event Collateral shall be held and maintained by the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, and the Charles River Plaza North Companion Loan Holders, as their interests may appear, all in accordance with the Charles River Plaza North Co-Lender Agreement. If such Threshold Event Collateral is delivered in the form of cash, then the Master Servicer shall deposit such cash in a separate segregated Eligible Account (or a sub-account of an Eligible Account, provided that for purposes of calculations hereunder such sub-account shall be treated as a separate account) maintained in its name on behalf of the beneficiaries contemplated by the prior sentence, and shall invest such funds in Permitted Investments, at the direction and for the benefit of the holder of the Charles River Plaza North Subordinate Companion Loan. Such funds (or, alternatively, any letter of credit and draws thereon) shall be treated as an “outside reserve fund” under the REMIC Provisions, which, together with any reimbursement from the Lower Tier REMIC, is beneficially owned by the holder of the Charles River Plaza North Subordinate Companion Loan for federal income tax purposes, which holder of the Charles River Plaza North Subordinate Companion Loan shall remain liable for any taxes payable on income or gain with respect thereto. The Master Servicer shall apply any Threshold Event Collateral held in the form of cash, and shall draw upon any Threshold Event Collateral held in the form of a letter of credit and apply such draws, to make such payments and reimbursements as are contemplated by the Charles River Plaza North Co-Lender Agreement, including (to the maximum extent permitted) to pay and/or reimburse any and all losses, costs and expenses incurred by the Trust and intended by the Charles River Plaza North Co-Lender Agreement to be paid or reimbursed out of such Threshold Event Collateral.

 

Appraisals that are permitted to be presented by, or obtained by the Special Servicer at the request of, Holders of an Appraised-Out Class shall be in addition to any Appraisals that the Special Servicer may otherwise be required to obtain in accordance with the Servicing Standard or this Agreement without regard to any appraisal requests made by any Holder of an Appraised-Out Class.

 

(b)          In connection with any foreclosure, enforcement of the Mortgage Loan Documents or other acquisition, the Master Servicer in accordance with Section 3.20 of this Agreement shall pay the out-of-pocket costs and expenses in any such proceedings as a Property Advance unless the Master Servicer or Special Servicer determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance (in which case such costs shall be an expense of the Trust Fund and paid by the Master Servicer out of the Collection Account). The Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of Advances (with interest at the Advance Rate) made pursuant to the preceding sentence to the extent permitted by Section 3.06(a)(ii) of this Agreement.

 

Subject to Section 3.21 of this Agreement, if the Special Servicer elects to proceed with a non-judicial foreclosure in accordance with the laws of the state where the Mortgaged Property is located, the Special Servicer shall not be required to pursue a deficiency judgment against the related Mortgagor, if available, or any other liable party if the laws of the state do not permit such a deficiency judgment after a non-judicial foreclosure or if the Special Servicer determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that the likely recovery if a deficiency judgment is obtained will not be sufficient to warrant the cost, time, expense and/or

 

-182-
 

 

exposure of pursuing the deficiency judgment and such determination is evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event) and any related Companion Loan Holder; provided that to the extent the related Serviced Companion Loan has been included in a securitization transaction, all notices and documentation required to be provided to the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder shall be provided to the Other Master Servicer under such securitization transaction.

 

In the event that title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be issued to the Trustee, to a co-trustee or to its nominee (which shall not include the Master Servicer but may be a single member limited liability company owned by the Trust and managed by the Special Servicer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement) or a separate trustee or co-trustee on behalf of the Trustee as holder of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and on behalf of the holders of the Certificates and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holders. Notwithstanding any such acquisition of title and cancellation of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, such Mortgage Loan shall (except for purposes of Section 9.01) be considered to be an REO Mortgage Loan held in the Trust Fund until such time as the related REO Property shall be sold by the Trust and shall be reduced only by collections net of expenses.

 

(c)          Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, the Special Servicer shall not acquire for the benefit of the Trust Fund any personal property pursuant to this Section 3.10 unless either:

 

(i)           such personal property is (in the good faith judgment of the Special Servicer) incident to real property (within the meaning of Code Section 856(e)(1)) so acquired by the Special Servicer for the benefit of the Trust Fund; or

 

(ii)          the Special Servicer shall have requested and received an Opinion of Counsel (which opinion shall be an expense of the Trust Fund) to the effect that the holding of such personal property by the Trust Fund will not cause the imposition of a tax on a Trust REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or cause a Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes at any time that any Certificate is outstanding.

 

(d)          Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, neither the Special Servicer nor the Master Servicer shall, on behalf of the Trust Fund or, if applicable, the related Companion Loan Holder, obtain title to any direct or indirect partnership or membership interest or other equity interest in any Mortgagor pledged pursuant to any pledge agreement, unless the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall have requested and received an Opinion of Counsel (which opinion shall be an expense of the Trust Fund) to the effect that the holding of such partnership or membership interest or other equity interest by the Trust Fund will not cause the imposition of a tax on a Trust REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust at any time that any Certificate is outstanding.

 

-183-
 

 

(e)          Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall not, on behalf of the Trust Fund, or, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holders, obtain title to a Mortgaged Property as a result of foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, or obtain title to any direct or indirect partnership or membership interest in any Mortgagor pledged pursuant to a pledge agreement and thereby be the beneficial owner of a Mortgaged Property, and shall not otherwise acquire possession of, or take any other action with respect to, any Mortgaged Property if, as a result of any such action, the Custodian, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders or, if applicable, the related Companion Loan Holders, would be considered to hold title to, or be a mortgagee-in-possession of, or to be an “owner” or “operator” of, such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended from time to time, or any comparable law, unless the Special Servicer has previously determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard, based on an updated environmental assessment report prepared by an Independent Person who regularly conducts environmental audits, that:

 

(i)           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 Trust Fund and, if applicable, any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder (as a collective whole) to take such actions as are necessary to bring such Mortgaged Property in compliance therewith; and

 

(ii)          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 Trust Fund and, if applicable, any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) (as a collective whole as if the Trust Fund and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) constituted a single lender (and, in the case of the Charles River Plaza North Whole Loan, taking into account the subordinate nature of any related Subordinate Companion Loan) to take such actions with respect to the affected Mortgaged Property as could be required by such law or regulation. In the event that the environmental assessment first obtained by the Special Servicer with respect to a Mortgaged Property indicates that such Mortgaged Property may not be in compliance with applicable environmental laws or that Hazardous Materials may be present but does not definitively establish such fact, the Special Servicer shall cause such further environmental tests to be conducted by an Independent Person who regularly conducts such tests as the Special Servicer shall deem prudent to protect the interests of Certificateholders and any related Companion Loan Holder. Any such tests shall be deemed part of the environmental assessment obtained by the Special Servicer for purposes of this Section 3.10.

 

In the event that the Special Servicer seeks to obtain title to a Mortgaged Property on behalf of the Trust Fund and any related Companion Loan Holder, the Special Servicer may, in its discretion, establish a single member limited liability company with the Trust Fund and, if

 

-184-
 

 

applicable, any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder, as the sole owner to hold title to such Mortgaged Property.

 

(f)          The environmental assessment contemplated by Section 3.10(e) of this Agreement shall be prepared within three months of the determination that such assessment is required by any Independent Person who regularly conducts environmental audits for purchasers of commercial property where the Mortgaged Property is located, as determined by the Special Servicer in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard and, if applicable, any secured creditor impaired property policy issued on or prior to the Closing Date with respect to any Mortgage Loan (including that the environmental assessment identify any potential pollution conditions (as defined in the environmental insurance policy) with respect to the related Mortgaged Property). The Master Servicer shall advance the cost of preparation of such environmental assessments unless the Master Servicer determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance (in which case such costs shall be an expense of the Trust Fund and paid by the Master Servicer out of the Collection Account). The Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of Advances (with interest at the Advance Rate) made pursuant to the preceding sentence in the manner set forth in Section 3.06 of this Agreement. Copies of any environmental assessment prepared pursuant to Section 3.10(e) of this Agreement shall be provided to the Certificateholder of any Regular Certificates and any related Companion Loan Holder upon written request to the Special Servicer.

 

(g)          If the Special Servicer determines pursuant to Section 3.10(e)(i) of this Agreement that a Mortgaged Property is not in compliance with applicable environmental laws but that it is in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund and any related Companion Loan Holder(s), as a collective whole as if the Trust Fund and any related Companion Loan Holder constituted a single lender, to take such actions as are necessary to bring such Mortgaged Property in compliance therewith, or if the Special Servicer determines pursuant to Section 3.10(e)(ii) of this Agreement that the circumstances referred to therein relating to Hazardous Materials are present but that it is in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund and any related Companion Loan Holder(s), as a collective whole as if the Trust Fund and any related Companion Loan Holder(s) constituted a single lender, to take such action with respect to the containment, clean-up or remediation of Hazardous Materials affecting such Mortgaged Property as is required by law or regulation, the Special Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Trust Fund and any related Companion Loan Holder(s), as a collective whole as if the Trust Fund and any related Companion Loan Holder(s) constituted a single lender. The Master Servicer shall pay the cost of any such compliance, containment, clean-up or remediation from the Collection Account.

 

(h)          The Special Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer of any abandoned and/or foreclosed properties which require reporting to the IRS and shall provide the Master Servicer with all information regarding forgiveness of indebtedness and required to be reported with respect to any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Companion Loan which is abandoned or foreclosed and the Master Servicer shall report to the IRS and the related Mortgagor, in the manner required by applicable law, such information and the Master Servicer shall report, via IRS Form 1099C, all forgiveness of indebtedness to the extent such information has been provided to the Master Servicer by the Special Servicer. Upon request, the Master Servicer shall

 

-185-
 

 

deliver a copy of any such report to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and, if affected, to any related Companion Loan Holder.

 

Section 3.11     Trustee and Certificate Administrator to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files. Upon the payment in full of any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan or the receipt by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer of a notification that payment in full has been escrowed in a manner customary for such purposes, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall immediately notify the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Custodian and, if affected, the related Companion Loan Holder by delivery of a certification (which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05 of this Agreement have been or will be so deposited) of a Servicing Officer and shall request delivery to it of the Mortgage File. No expenses incurred in connection with any instrument of satisfaction or deed of reconveyance shall be chargeable to the Trust Fund.

 

From time to time upon request of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer and delivery to the Custodian of a Request for Release, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly cause the Custodian to release the Mortgage File (or any portion thereof) designated in such Request for Release to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable. Upon return of the foregoing to the Custodian, or in the event of a liquidation or conversion of the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan into an REO Property, receipt by the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator of a certificate of a Servicing Officer stating that such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan was liquidated and that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such liquidation which are required to be deposited into the Collection Account have been so deposited, or that such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan has become an REO Property, the Custodian shall deliver a copy of the Request for Release to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable.

 

Within three (3) Business Days, after receipt of written certification of a Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Special Servicer any court pleadings, requests for trustee’s sale or other documents prepared by the Special Servicer, its agents or attorneys and reasonably acceptable to the Trustee, necessary to the foreclosure or trustee’s sale in respect of a Mortgaged Property or to any legal action brought to obtain judgment against any Mortgagor on the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, or to obtain a deficiency judgment, or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the Mortgage Loan Documents or otherwise available at law or in equity. Each such certification shall include a request that such pleadings or documents be executed by the Trustee and a statement as to the reason such documents or pleadings are required, and that the execution and delivery thereof by the Trustee will not invalidate or otherwise affect the lien of the Mortgage or other security agreement, except for the termination of such a lien upon completion of the foreclosure or trustee’s sale.

 

If from time to time, pursuant to the terms of the Co-Lender Agreement and the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement related to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, and as appropriate for enforcing the terms of, or otherwise properly servicing, such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the applicable Other Master Servicer, the applicable Other Special Servicer or other similar party requests delivery to it of the original Note(s) for such Non-

 

-186-
 

 

Serviced Mortgage Loan, then such party shall deliver a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto to the Custodian, and the Custodian shall release or cause the release of such original Note(s) to the requesting party or its designee. In connection with the release of the original Note(s) for a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Custodian shall obtain such documentation as is appropriate to evidence the holding by the applicable Other Master Servicer, the applicable Other Special Servicer or such other similar party, as the case may be, of such original Note(s) as custodian on behalf of and for the benefit of the Trustee.

 

Section 3.12     Servicing Fees, Trustee/Certificate Administrator Fees and Special Servicing Compensation.

 

(a)          As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be entitled, with respect to each Mortgage Loan and REO Mortgage Loan (including the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans) and each Companion Loan and REO Companion Loan that is included as part of a Serviced Whole Loan and each Collection Period, to the Servicing Fee, which shall be payable from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account and/or, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan or portion thereof, the related Serviced Whole Loan Custodial Account as set forth in Section 3.06(a)(iii) and Section 3.06(a)(vi) and/or Section 3.06A of this Agreement, as applicable. In addition, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive, as additional servicing compensation, (i) 100% of any Excess Modification Fees with respect to a modification, waiver, extension or amendment of a non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan agreed to by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.24 of this Agreement that did not require the approval of the Special Servicer, (ii) 50% of any Excess Modification Fees with respect to a modification, waiver, extension or amendment of a non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan consented to by the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.24 of this Agreement (whether or not the Special Servicer elects to handle all related processing), (iii) 100% of any fee actually paid by a Mortgagor in connection with a defeasance of a Serviced Loan as contemplated under Section 3.09 of this Agreement (provided, however, that 50% of the portion of any fees payable solely in connection with any modification, waiver, amendment or consent executed in connection with a defeasance transaction for which the consent of the Special Servicer is required under this Agreement, shall be paid by the Master Servicer to the Special Servicer), (iv) 100% of any Assumption Fees with respect to a non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan consented to by the Master Servicer that did not require the approval of the Special Servicer, (v) 50% of any Assumption Fees with respect to a non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan consented to by the Special Servicer (whether or not the Special Servicer elects to handle all related processing), (vi) the aggregate Prepayment Interest Excess (exclusive of any portion thereof attributable to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), but only to the extent such amount is not required to be included in any Compensating Interest Payment, in each case to the extent received and not required to be deposited or retained in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05 of this Agreement, (vii) 100% of Ancillary Fees (other than fees for insufficient or returned checks) and assumption application fees actually received from Mortgagors on non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, (viii) 100% of Consent Fees with respect to a non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan that did not require the approval of the Special Servicer, (ix) 50% of any Consent Fees with respect to a non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan consented to by the Special Servicer (whether or not the Special Servicer elects to handle all related processing), (x) 100% of Excess Penalty Charges paid by the Mortgagors with respect to any Mortgage Loan

Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association and any successor holder of the Excess Servicing Fee Rights shall be entitled, at any time, at its own expense, to transfer, sell, pledge or otherwise assign such Excess Servicing Fee Rights in whole (but not in part), in either case, to any Qualified Institutional Buyer or Institutional Accredited Investor (other than a Plan); provided that no such transfer, sale, pledge or other assignment shall be made unless (i) that transfer, sale, pledge or other assignment is exempt from the registration and/or qualification requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws and is otherwise made in accordance with the Securities Act and such state securities laws, (ii) the prospective transferor shall have delivered to the Depositor a certificate substantially in the form attached as Exhibit CC-1 to this Agreement, and (iii) the prospective transferee shall have delivered to Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association and the Depositor a certificate substantially in the form attached as Exhibit CC-2 to this Agreement.

Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association and each holder of an Excess Servicing Fee Right desiring to effect a transfer, sale, pledge or other assignment of such Excess Servicing Fee Right shall, and Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association hereby agrees, and each such holder of an Excess Servicing Fee Right by its acceptance of such Excess Servicing Fee Right shall be

 

-188-
 

 

deemed to have agreed, in connection with any transfer of such Excess Servicing Fee Right effected by such Person, to indemnify the Certificateholders, the Trust, the Depositor, the Underwriters, the Initial Purchasers, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Registrar and the Special Servicer against any liability that may result if such transfer is not exempt from registration and/or qualification under the Securities Act or other applicable federal and state securities laws or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws or in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this paragraph. By its acceptance of an Excess Servicing Fee Right, the holder thereof shall be deemed to have agreed not to use or disclose any information received in connection with its acquisition and holding of such Excess Servicing Fee Right in any manner that could result in a violation of any provision of the Securities Act or other applicable securities laws or that would require registration of such Excess Servicing Fee Right or any Certificate pursuant to the Securities Act. From time to time following any transfer, sale, pledge or assignment of an Excess Servicing Fee Right, the Person then acting as the Master Servicer shall pay, out of each amount paid to such Master Servicer as Servicing Fees with respect to each related Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan, as the case may be, the related Excess Servicing Fees to the holder of such Excess Servicing Fee Right within one (1) Business Day following the payment of such Servicing Fees to the Master Servicer, in each case in accordance with payment instructions provided by such holder in writing to the Master Servicer. The holder of an Excess Servicing Fee Right shall not have any rights under this Agreement except as set forth in the preceding sentences of this paragraph. None of the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, the Operating Advisor, the Depositor, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Custodian shall have any obligation whatsoever regarding payment of the Excess Servicing Fee or the assignment or transfer of the Excess Servicing Fee Right.

 

Except as otherwise provided herein, the Master Servicer shall pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder, including all fees of any Sub-Servicers retained by it.

The Certificate Administrator shall pay the Trustee the Trustee’s portion of the Trustee/Certificate Administrator Fee. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Trustee/Certificate Administrator Fee includes all routine expenses of the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Paying Agent, the Certificate Administrator and the Authenticating Agent. Each of the Trustee’s and Certificate Administrator’s rights to the Trustee/Certificate Administrator Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of all of the Trustee’s or Certificate Administrator’s, as applicable, responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement.

 

(c)          As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Special Servicer shall be entitled with respect to each Specially Serviced Loan (including each Companion Loan that is included as part of each Serviced Whole Loan) and each Interest Accrual Period, to the Special Servicing Fee, which shall be payable from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account and/or, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan or portion thereof, the related Serviced Whole Loan Custodial Account as set forth in Section 3.06(a)(iv) and Section 3.06(a)(vi) and 3.06A. The Special Servicer’s rights to the Special Servicing Fee may not be transferred in whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of all of the Special Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement. The Special Servicer shall not be entitled to any Special Servicing Fee with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan. In addition, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to receive, as additional servicing compensation, (i) 50% of any Excess Modification Fees with respect to a modification, waiver, extension or amendment of a non-Specially Serviced Loan and/or any Serviced Companion Loan consented to by the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.24 of this Agreement (whether or not the Special Servicer elects to handle all related processing), (ii) 100% of any Excess Modification Fees with respect to a modification, waiver, extension or amendment of a Specially Serviced Loan consented to by the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.24 of this Agreement, (iii) 100% of any Assumption Fees with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan, (iv) 50% of any Assumption Fees with respect to a non-Specially Serviced Loan and/or any Serviced Companion Loan consented to by the Special Servicer (whether or not the Special Servicer elects to handle all related processing), (v) 100% of Ancillary Fees (other than fees for insufficient or returned checks) and assumption application fees actually received from Mortgagors on Specially Serviced Loans, (vi) 100% of Consent Fees with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan, (vii) 50% of any Consent Fees with respect to a non-Specially Serviced Loan and/or any Serviced Companion Loan consented to by the Special Servicer (whether or not the Special Servicer elects to handle all related processing), (viii) 100% of Excess Penalty Charges paid by the Mortgagors with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and/or Serviced Whole Loan accrued during the period any such Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan, (ix) any interest or other income earned on deposits in the REO Accounts for any REO Mortgage Loan (other than the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans). The Special Servicer shall not be entitled to any Special Servicing Fees, Liquidation Fees or Workout Fees, with respect to the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans, (x) in the case of an ARD Loan that is a Specially Serviced Loan (other than the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans) for which it is the Special Servicer, 100% of any extension fee actually paid by the related Mortgagor in connection with the Mortgagor’s option to exercise the related Anticipated Repayment Date option pursuant to the related Loan Documents and (xi) in the case of an ARD Loan that is a non-Specially Serviced Loan (other than the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans) for which it is the Special Servicer, 50% of any extension fee actually paid by the related Mortgagor

 

-190-
 

 

in connection with the Mortgagor’s option to exercise the related Anticipated Repayment Date option pursuant to the related Loan Documents consented to by the Special Servicer (whether or not the Special Servicer elects to handle all related processing).

 

Except as otherwise provided herein, the Special Servicer shall pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder.

 

The Special Servicer shall also be entitled to additional servicing compensation in the form of a Workout Fee with respect to each Corrected Mortgage Loan at the Workout Fee Rate on such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan for so long as it remains a Corrected Mortgage Loan. The Special Servicer shall not be entitled to any Workout Fee with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan. The Workout Fee with respect to any Corrected Mortgage Loan will cease to be payable if such loan again becomes a Specially Serviced Loan; provided that a new Workout Fee will become payable if and when such Specially Serviced Loan again becomes a Corrected Mortgage Loan. If the Special Servicer is terminated (other than for cause) or resigns it shall retain the right to receive any and all Workout Fees payable in respect of Mortgage Loans or Serviced Whole Loans (1) that became Corrected Mortgage Loans prior to the time of that termination or resignation (except the Workout Fees will no longer be payable if any such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan subsequently becomes a Specially Serviced Loan); and (2) for which the resigning or terminated Special Servicer had 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 Mortgage Loan solely because the Mortgagor had not had sufficient time to make three consecutive timely Monthly Payments and which subsequently becomes a Corrected Mortgage Loan as a result of the Mortgagor making such three consecutive timely Monthly Payments. In either case, the successor special servicer will not be entitled to any portion of such Workout Fees. The Special Servicer shall also be entitled to additional servicing compensation in the form of a Liquidation Fee (other than with respect to the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans) payable out of the Liquidation Proceeds prior to the deposit of the Net Liquidation Proceeds in the Collection Account or the Serviced Whole Loan Custodial Account, as applicable. However, no Liquidation Fee will be payable in connection with, or out of, Liquidation Proceeds as set forth in the final two provisos of the definition of “Liquidation Fee” herein. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Special Servicer shall only be entitled to receive a Liquidation Fee or a Workout Fee, but not both, with respect to any specific collections or proceeds on any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan. For purposes of the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.12(c), a termination and removal of the Special Servicer under Section 6.08 of this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a termination without cause.

 

If at any time a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to collect the amount of any Special Servicing Fee, Liquidation Fee and/or Workout Fee from the related Mortgagor pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan Documents, including exercising all remedies available under such Mortgage Loan Documents that would be in accordance with the Servicing Standard, specifically taking into account the costs or likelihood of success of any such collection efforts and the Realized Loss that would be incurred by Certificateholders in connection therewith as opposed to the Realized Loss that would be incurred as a result of not collecting such amounts from the related Mortgagor.

 

-191-
 

 

The Special Servicer shall not be entitled to any Liquidation Fee with respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan or any Non-Serviced Companion Loan.

 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, in no event shall Special Servicing Compensation with respect to the related Mortgage Loan (including an REO Mortgage Loan) be payable out of payments and other collections with respect to the related Pari Passu Companion Loan, and in no event shall Special Servicing Compensation with respect to the related Pari Passu Companion Loan (including an REO Companion Loan) be payable out of payments and other collections with respect to the related Mortgage Loan or the Mortgage Pool. In addition, with respect to the Charles River Plaza North Subordinate Companion Loan, in no event shall Special Servicing Compensation with respect to such Companion Loan (including an REO Companion Loan) be payable out of payments and other collections with respect to the related Mortgage Loan or the Mortgage Pool. This paragraph is in no way intended to limit the rights of the Special Servicer under the related Co-Lender Agreement to seek payment of unpaid Special Servicing Compensation with respect to any Companion Loan from the related Companion Loan Holder.

 

(d)          The Master Servicer, Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Trust Fund for the costs and expenses incurred by them in the performance of their duties under this Agreement which are “unanticipated expenses incurred by the REMIC” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(iii). Such expenses shall include, by way of example and not by way of limitation, environmental assessments, Appraisals in connection with foreclosure, the fees and expenses of any administrative or judicial proceeding and expenses expressly identified as reimbursable in Section 3.06(a)(vi) of this Agreement.

 

(e)          No provision of this Agreement or of the Certificates shall require the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee to expend or risk their own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of their duties hereunder or thereunder, or in the exercise of any of their rights or powers, if, in the good faith business judgment of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as the case may be, repayment of such funds would not be ultimately recoverable from late payments, Net Insurance Proceeds, Net Condemnation Proceeds, Net Liquidation Proceeds and other collections on or in respect of the Mortgage Loans or Serviced Whole Loan, (to the extent recovery is permitted from a Serviced Whole Loan hereunder) or from adequate indemnity from other assets comprising the Trust Fund against such risk or liability.

 

If the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee receives a request or inquiry from a Mortgagor, any Certificateholder or any other Person the response to which would, as determined by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard or by the Operating Advisor in its commercially reasonable judgment or the Certificate Administrator’s or the Trustee’s in its good faith business judgment require the assistance of Independent legal counsel or other consultant to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee the cost of which would not be an expense of the Trust Fund hereunder, then the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the

 

-192-
 

 

 

Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall not be required to take any action in response to such request or inquiry unless the Mortgagor or such Certificateholder or such other Person, as applicable, makes arrangements for the payment of the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s, the Operating Advisor’s, the Certificate Administrator’s or the Trustee’s expenses associated with such counsel (including, without limitation, posting an advance payment for such expenses) satisfactory to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee as the case may be, in its sole discretion. Unless such arrangements have been made, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee as the case may be, shall have no liability to any Person for the failure to respond to such request or inquiry.

 

(f)          With respect to each Collection Period, the Special Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Master Servicer, without charge, and within 2 Business Days following the related Determination Date, and the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Certificate Administrator, if and to the extent received thereby, without charge on the same day as the Master Servicer is required to deliver the CREFC® Investor Reporting Package for such Collection Period, an electronic report that discloses and contains an itemized listing of any Disclosable Special Servicer Fees received by the Special Servicer or any of its Affiliates during the related Collection Period; provided that no such report shall be due in any month during which no Disclosable Special Servicer Fees were received.

 

(g)          The Special Servicer and its Affiliates shall be prohibited from receiving or retaining any compensation or any other remuneration (including, without limitation, in the form of commissions, brokerage fees or rebates) from any Person (including, without limitation, the Trust, any Mortgagor, any Manager, any guarantor or indemnitor in respect of a Mortgage Loan or Companion Loan and any purchaser of any Mortgage Loan, Companion Loan or REO Property) in connection with the disposition, workout or foreclosure of any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, the management or disposition of any REO Property, or the performance of any other special servicing duties under this Agreement, other than as expressly provided in this Section 3.12; provided that such prohibition shall not apply to Permitted Special Servicer/Affiliate Fees. For the avoidance of doubt, the Special Servicer is entitled to receive any Permitted Special Servicer/Affiliated Fees under this Agreement.

 

(h)          If the WPC Department Store Portfolio Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan prior to the WPC Department Store Portfolio Securitization Date, the Special Servicer shall service and administer the related Whole Loan and any related REO Property in the same manner as any other Specially Serviced Loan or REO Property and shall be entitled to all rights and compensation earned with respect to such Serviced Whole Loan during the period for which it acts as Special Servicer of such Serviced Whole Loan. With respect to the WPC Department Store Portfolio Mortgage Loan, prior to the WPC Department Store Portfolio Securitization Date, no other special servicer will be entitled to any such compensation or have such rights and obligations. If the WPC Department Store Portfolio Mortgage Loan is still a Specially Serviced Loan on the WPC Department Store Portfolio Securitization Date, the related Other Special Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be entitled to compensation with respect to the related Whole Loan as if the Special Servicer were being terminated as Special Servicer and the related Other Special Servicer were replacing it as the successor special servicer. Upon receipt of notice of its termination as Special Servicer with respect to the WPC Department Store

No Compensating Interest Payments shall be made by the Master Servicer for the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans. Any Compensating Interest Payments made with respect to a Serviced Companion Loan shall be paid to the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder.

Nothing in this Section 3.15 shall detract from the obligation of the Master Servicer and Special Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information with respect to the Mortgagors, and the failure of the Master Servicer and Special Servicer to provide access as provided in this Section 3.15 as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section 3.15.

 

In connection with providing or granting any information or access pursuant to the prior paragraph to a Certificateholder, a Companion Loan Holder or any regulatory authority that may exercise authority over a Certificateholder or Companion Loan Holder, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer may each require payment from such Certificateholder or Companion Loan Holder of a sum sufficient to cover the reasonable costs and expenses of providing such information or access, including copy charges and reasonable fees for employee time and for space; provided that no charge may be made if such information or access was required to be given or made available without charge under applicable law. In connection with providing Certificateholders or beneficial owners of Certificates access to the information described in the preceding paragraph, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall require (prior to affording such access) a written confirmation executed by the requesting Person substantially in such form as may be reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, generally to the effect that such Person is a Holder of Certificates or a beneficial holder of book entry Certificates and will keep such information confidential.

In addition, in connection with providing access to information pursuant to this Section 3.15, each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer may (i) affix a reasonable disclaimer to any information provided by it for which it is not the original source (without suggesting liability on the part of any other party hereto); (ii) affix to any information provided by it a reasonable statement regarding securities law restrictions on such information and/or condition access to information on the execution of a reasonable confidentiality agreement; (iii) withhold access to confidential information or any intellectual property; and (iv) withhold access to items of information contained in the Servicing File for any Mortgage Loan or

 

-196-
 

 

Companion Loan if the disclosure of such items would constitute a waiver of the attorney-client privilege.

 

Each of the Master Servicer and Special Servicer, as appropriate, shall, without charge, make a knowledgeable Servicing Officer available via telephone to verbally answer questions from the Operating Advisor (after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event) and the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event), on a monthly basis, during regular business hours at such time and for such duration as the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative shall reasonably agree, regarding the performance and servicing of the Mortgage Loans and Serviced Whole Loans and/or related REO Properties for which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, is responsible. With respect to each AB Whole Loan where the Subordinate Companion Loan Holder or its designee is the related Whole Loan Directing Holder, upon request of such Whole Loan Directing Holder, the Special Servicer shall make a knowledgeable Servicing Officer available via telephone conference during regular business hours to verbally answer questions from such Whole Loan Directing Holder on a Business Day that is reasonably convenient to the Special Servicer and such Whole Loan Directing Holder. In the event the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer receives a request from the Controlling Class Representative to have a telephone conversation with respect to the AB Whole Loan at a time when the Trust is not the related Whole Loan Directing Holder, then the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall refer the Controlling Class Representative to the related Whole Loan Directing Holder. In connection with clause (ii) above, the related Whole Loan Directing Holder shall be entitled but not obligated to be present and otherwise participate in such telephone conference, and shall not have any obligation to answer questions. In connection with clause (ii) above, the Special Servicer shall have no duty to the Trust Fund, the holders of the Controlling Class, the Controlling Class Representative or any other Person to receive, consider or accept any advice from the Controlling Class Representative. The Special Servicer shall not take any action, or alter any proposed action, in response to a communication from the Controlling Class Representative with respect to the Charles River Plaza North Whole Loan or related Mortgage Loan (prior to a Whole Loan Control Appraisal Event) unless the related Whole Loan Directing Holder has approved the same pursuant to the related Co-Lender Agreement or the Special Servicer determines that the proposed action by the related Whole Loan Directing Holder does not comply with the Servicing Standard. In any event, the Operating Advisor and the Controlling Class Representative agree to identify for the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer in advance (but at least two (2) Business Days prior to the related monthly conference) the applicable Mortgage Loans (or Serviced Whole Loans) and/or REO Properties it intends to discuss. As a condition to such disclosure, the Controlling Class Representative shall execute a confidentiality agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit M-4 to this Agreement and an Investor Certification.

 

The Master Servicer may (but shall not be required to), in accordance with such rules and procedures as it may adopt in its sole discretion, make available through the Master Servicer’s website or otherwise, any additional information relating to the Mortgage Loans, the Serviced Companion Loans, the related Mortgaged Properties and/or the related Mortgagor that

 

-197-
 

 

is not Privileged Information, for review by the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor.

 

After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Special Servicer shall deliver to the Operating Advisor such reports and other information produced or otherwise available to the Controlling Class Representative or Certificateholders generally, as requested by the Operating Advisor in support of the performance of the Operating Advisor’s obligations under this Agreement in electronic format.

 

The Operating Advisor hereby agrees that it shall use the information provided to it by the Special Servicer solely for purposes of performing its duties as Operating Advisor under this Agreement and shall not disclose such information to any other Person or entity unless (i) with respect to Privileged Information, pursuant to a Privileged Information Exception, or (ii) to the extent necessary to support its conclusions in its Operating Advisor Annual Report required under Section 3.28 of this Agreement or to discharge its other duties under this Agreement.

 

If any of the parties to this Agreement receives a Form ABS Due Diligence-15E from any party in connection with any third-party due diligence services such party may have provided with respect to the Trust Loan (“Due Diligence Service Provider”), such receiving party shall promptly forward such Form ABS Due Diligence-15E to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website. The 17g-5 Information Provider shall post on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website any Form ABS Due Diligence-15E it receives directly from a Due Diligence Service Provider or from another party to this Agreement, promptly upon receipt thereof.

 

Section 3.16     Title and Management of REO Properties.

 

(a)          In the event that title to any Mortgaged Property (other than a Mortgaged Property with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) is acquired for the benefit of Certificateholders (or, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s)) (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) constituted a single lender) (either by the Trust Fund or by a single member limited liability company established for that purpose) in foreclosure, by deed in lieu of foreclosure or upon abandonment or reclamation from bankruptcy, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of a nominee of the Trustee (which shall not include the Master Servicer), or a separate trustee or co-trustee, on behalf of the Trust Fund and the related Companion Loan Holders. The Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund, shall sell any REO Property prior to the close of the third calendar year following the year in which the Lower-Tier REMIC acquires ownership of such REO Property, within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.856-6(b)(1), for purposes of Code Section 860G(a)(8), unless (i) the IRS grants (or does not deny) an extension of time (an “REO Extension”) to sell such REO Property or (ii) the Special Servicer obtains an Opinion of Counsel for the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, addressed to the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, to the effect that the holding by the Lower-Tier REMIC of such REO Property subsequent to the close of the third calendar year following the year in which such acquisition occurred will not result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” (as defined in Code Section 860F) of either Trust REMIC, or cause

 

-198-
 

 

either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code for federal income tax purposes at any time that any Certificate is outstanding. If the Special Servicer is granted (or is not denied) the REO Extension contemplated by clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence or obtains the Opinion of Counsel contemplated by clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Special Servicer shall sell such REO Property within such longer period as is permitted by such REO Extension or such Opinion of Counsel, as the case may be. Any expense incurred by the Special Servicer in connection with its receiving the REO Extension contemplated by clause (i) of the second preceding sentence or its obtaining the Opinion of Counsel contemplated by clause (ii) of the second preceding sentence shall be an expense of the Trust Fund payable out of the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.06(a) of this Agreement. The Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund and any related Companion Loan Holder, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, shall dispose of any REO Property held by the Trust Fund (i) prior to the last day of such period (taking into account extensions) by which such REO Property is required to be disposed of pursuant to the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence in a manner provided under Section 3.17 of this Agreement and (ii) on the same terms and conditions as if it were the owner of such REO Property. The Special Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property for the Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Companion Loan Holder, solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in a manner which does not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(8) or result in the receipt by the Trust Fund of any “income from non-permitted assets” within the meaning of Code Section 860F(a)(2)(B) or (i) endanger the status of either Trust REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of a tax upon either Trust REMIC or the Trust Fund. The Special Servicer shall have full power and authority, subject only to the specific requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, to do any and all things in connection with any REO Property (other than with respect to the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans) as are consistent with the Servicing Standard and the terms of this Agreement, all on such terms and for such period as the Special Servicer deems to be in the best interests of Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Companion Loan Holder(s) (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Companion Loan Holder constituted a single lender), and, in connection therewith, the Special Servicer shall only agree to the payment of management fees that it determines in its reasonable business judgment to be substantially consistent with general market standards or to terms that are more favorable. Consistent with the foregoing, the Special Servicer shall cause or permit to be earned with respect to such REO Property any “net income from foreclosure property,” within the meaning of Code Section 860G(c), which is subject to tax under the REMIC Provisions only if it has determined, and has so advised the Certificate Administrator in writing, that the earning of such income on a net after-tax basis could reasonably be expected to result in a greater recovery on behalf of Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Companion Loan Holder(s) (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Companion Loan Holder(s) constituted a single lender) than an alternative method of operation or rental of such REO Property that would not be subject to such a tax. The Special Servicer shall segregate and hold all revenues received by it with respect to any REO Property separate and apart from its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain with respect to any REO Property a segregated custodial account (each, an “REO Account”), each of which shall be an Eligible Account and (subject to any changes in the identities of the Special Servicer or the Trustee) shall be entitled “Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer, on behalf of Wells Fargo Bank,

National Association, as Trustee, for the registered Holders of CSAIL 2015-C3 Commercial Mortgage Trust, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2015-C3 [in the case of an REO Property related to a Whole Loan: and the related Companion Loan Holder, as their interests may appear], REO Account.” The Special Servicer shall be entitled to withdraw for its account any interest or investment income earned on funds deposited in an REO Account to the extent provided in Section 3.07(b) of this Agreement. The Special Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the REO Account within one Business Day after receipt all revenues received by it with respect to any REO Property (other than Liquidation Proceeds, which shall be remitted to the Collection Account), and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of such REO Property and for other Property Protection Expenses with respect to such REO Property, including:

 

(i)          all insurance premiums due and payable in respect of any REO Property;

 

(ii)         all real estate taxes and assessments in respect of any REO Property that may result in the imposition of a lien thereon;

 

(iii)        all costs and expenses reasonable and necessary to protect, maintain, manage, operate, repair and restore any REO Property including, if applicable, the payments of any ground rents in respect of such REO Property; and

 

(iv)        any taxes imposed on either Trust REMIC in respect of net income from foreclosure property in accordance with Section 4.05 of this Agreement.

 

To the extent that such REO Proceeds are insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above and the Special Servicer has provided written notice of such shortfall to the Master Servicer at least five (5) Business Days (or, in an emergency situation or on an urgent basis, two (2) Business Days, provided that the written notice sets forth the nature of the emergency or the basis of the urgency) prior to the date that such amounts are due, the Master Servicer shall advance the amount of such shortfall unless the Master Servicer determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance (in which case such costs shall be an expense of the Trust Fund and paid by the Master Servicer out of the Collection Account). If the Master Servicer does not make any such Advance in violation of the immediately preceding sentence, the Trustee shall make such Advance unless the Trustee determines that such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any determination by the Master Servicer that an Advance, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The Trustee, in determining whether or not a proposed Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall use its good faith business judgment. The Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to reimbursement of such Advances (with interest at the Advance Rate) made pursuant to the preceding sentence, to the extent set forth in Section 3.06 and/or, if applicable, Section 3.06A of this Agreement. The Special Servicer shall withdraw from each REO Account and remit to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account, or, for a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Serviced Whole Loan Custodial Account, on a monthly basis prior to the related Master Servicer Remittance Date the Net REO Proceeds

received or collected from each REO Property during the related Prepayment Period, except that in determining the amount of such Net REO Proceeds, the Special Servicer may retain in each REO Account reasonable reserves for repairs, replacements and necessary capital improvements and other related expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Servicer shall not:

 

(i)          permit the Trust Fund to enter into, renew or extend any New Lease, if the New Lease by its terms will give rise to any income that does not constitute Rents from Real Property;

 

(ii)         permit any amount to be received or accrued under any New Lease, other than amounts that will constitute Rents from Real Property;

 

(iii)        authorize or permit any construction on any REO Property, other than the repair or maintenance thereof or the completion of a building or other improvement thereon, and then only if more than ten percent of the construction of such building or other improvement was completed before default on the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan became imminent, all within the meaning of Code Section 856(e)(4)(B); or

 

(iv)        Directly Operate or allow any Person to Directly Operate any REO Property on any date more than 90 days after its date of acquisition by the Trust Fund, unless such Person is an Independent Contractor;

 

unless, in any such case, the Special Servicer has requested and received an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Special Servicer, the related Companion Loan Holder, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee (which opinion shall be an expense of the Trust Fund and, if the related Companion Loan is part of a REMIC, the related Companion Loan Holder) to the effect that such action will not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(8) (determined without regard to the exception applicable for purposes of Code Section 860D(a)) at any time that it is held by the Trust Fund, in which case the Special Servicer may take such actions as are specified in such Opinion of Counsel.

 

The Special Servicer shall be required to contract with an Independent Contractor, the fees and expenses of which shall be an expense of the Trust Fund and payable out of REO Proceeds, for the operation and management of any REO Property, within 90 days of the Trust Fund’s acquisition thereof (unless the Special Servicer shall have provided the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator with an Opinion of Counsel that the operation and management of any REO Property other than through an Independent Contractor shall not cause such REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Code Section 860G(a)(8)) (which opinion shall be an expense of the Trust Fund), provided that:

 

(i)          the terms and conditions of any such contract shall be reasonable and customary for the area and type of property and shall not be inconsistent herewith;

 

(ii)         any such contract shall require, or shall be administered to require, that the Independent Contractor pay all costs and expenses incurred in connection

with the operation and management of such REO Property, including those listed above, and remit all related revenues (net of such costs and expenses) to the Special Servicer as soon as practicable, but in no event later than thirty days following the receipt thereof by such Independent Contractor;

 

 (iii)        none of the provisions of this Section 3.16(a) relating to any such contract or to actions taken through any such Independent Contractor shall be deemed to relieve the Special Servicer of any of its duties and obligations to the Trust Fund or the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Companion Loan Holder with respect to the operation and management of any such REO Property; and

 

 (iv)        the Special Servicer shall be obligated with respect thereto to the same extent as if it alone were performing all duties and obligations in connection with the operation and management of such REO Property.

 

The Special Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with any Independent Contractor performing services for it related to its duties and obligations hereunder for indemnification of the Special Servicer by such Independent Contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification.

 

(b)           When and as necessary, the Special Servicer shall send to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator and the related Companion Loan Holder a statement prepared by the Special Servicer setting forth the amount of net income or net loss, as determined for federal income tax purposes, resulting from the operation and management of a trade or business on, the furnishing or rendering of a non-customary service to the tenants of, or the receipt of any other amount not constituting Rents from Real Property in respect of, any REO Property in accordance with Section 3.16(a) of this Agreement.

 

(c)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Section 3.16 shall not apply to any REO Property related to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan.

 

Section 3.17     Sale of Defaulted Mortgage Loans and REO Properties; Sale of Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans.

 

(a)           The parties hereto may sell or purchase, or permit the sale or purchase of, a Mortgage Loan (excluding a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) only (i) on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 3.17, (ii) as otherwise expressly provided in or contemplated by Section 2.03 and Section 9.01 of this Agreement, or (iii) (A) in the case of a Mortgage Loan related to a Serviced Whole Loan in accordance with and subject to the provisions of the related Co-Lender Agreement and Section 3.27 of this Agreement and (B) in the case of a Mortgage Loan with a related mezzanine loan or subordinate mortgage loan, in accordance with and subject to the provisions of the related intercreditor agreement.

 

(b)          Promptly upon a Mortgage Loan (excluding a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Whole Loan becoming a Defaulted Mortgage Loan and if the Special Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that it would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, in the case of a Defaulted Serviced Whole Loan, the related Serviced

Companion Loan Holder(s) (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, in the case of a Defaulted Serviced Whole Loan, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s), constituted a single lender (and with respect to the Charles River Plaza North Whole Loan, taking into account (i) the subordinate nature of the Charles River Plaza North Subordinate Companion Loan and (ii) that the related Mortgage Loan may be sold without the related Subordinate Companion Loan pursuant to the related Co-Lender Agreement)) to attempt to sell such Defaulted Mortgage Loan (which, in the case of the Charles River Plaza North Whole Loan, may exclude the related Subordinate Companion Loan pursuant to the related Co-Lender Agreement), the Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to solicit offers for such Defaulted Mortgage Loan (which, in the case of the Charles River Plaza North Whole Loan, may exclude the related Subordinate Companion Loan pursuant to the related Co-Lender Agreement) on behalf of the Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) in such manner as will be reasonably likely to realize a fair price; provided that, in the case of the Charles River Plaza North Whole Loan, the Special Servicer is permitted (with the consent of the related Subordinate Companion Loan Holder), but not required, to include the Charles River Plaza North Subordinate Companion Loan as part of any such sale of such Whole Loan provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, in the event that the Charles River Plaza North Subordinate Companion Loan is not included in any such sale, the references in this Section 3.17 to “Defaulted Mortgage Loan” shall exclude such Subordinate Companion Loan. Subject to the other subsections of this Section 3.17, the Special Servicer shall accept the first (and, if multiple offers are contemporaneously received, the highest) cash offer received from any Person that constitutes a fair price for such Defaulted Mortgage Loan. The Special Servicer shall notify the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event), the Operating Advisor (after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event) and any affected Serviced Companion Loan Holder of any inquiries or offers received regarding the sale of any Defaulted Mortgage Loan. Any Companion Loan that is part of a Defaulted Serviced Whole Loan is to be sold together with the related Mortgage Loan, subject to this Section 3.17 and any additional requirements set forth in the related Co-Lender Agreement.

 

(c)          The Special Servicer shall give the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the related Companion Loan Holder, the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event) and the Operating Advisor (after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event), not less than five (5) Business Days’ (but subject to paragraph (p) below with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan) prior written notice of its intention to sell any Defaulted Mortgage Loan. No Interested Person shall be obligated to submit an offer to purchase any Defaulted Mortgage Loan, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither the Trustee, in its individual capacity, nor any of its Affiliates may offer to purchase or purchase any Defaulted Mortgage Loan pursuant hereto.

 

(d)          Whether any cash offer constitutes a fair price for any Defaulted Mortgage Loan for purposes of Section 3.17(b) of this Agreement shall be determined by the Special Servicer, if the highest offeror is a Person other than an Interested Person, and by the Trustee, if the highest offeror is an Interested Person (provided that the Trustee may not be an offeror) unless (i) the offer is equal to or greater than the applicable Purchase Price, (ii) the offer is the highest offer received and (iii) at least two other offers are received from independent third

parties; provided, however, that no offer from an Interested Person shall constitute a fair price unless (i) it is the highest offer received and (ii) at least two other offers are received from independent third parties. In all cases under this Agreement (except to the extent the Trustee is not required to determine whether any cash offer constitutes a fair price for any Defaulted Mortgage Loan pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence), in determining whether any offer received from an Interested Person represents a fair price for any Defaulted Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall be supplied with and shall rely on the most recent Appraisal or updated Appraisal conducted in accordance with this Agreement within the preceding 9-month period or, in the absence of any such Appraisal, on a new Appraisal. The appraiser conducting any such new Appraisal shall be an Appraiser selected by (i) the Special Servicer if no Interested Person is offering with respect to a Defaulted Mortgage Loan and (ii) the Trustee if an Interested Person is so offering. The cost of any such Appraisal shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable as, a Property Advance. In determining whether any such offer from a Person other than an Interested Person constitutes a fair price for any such Defaulted Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall take into account (in addition to the results of any Appraisal, updated Appraisal or narrative Appraisal that it may have obtained pursuant to this Agreement within the prior 9 months), and in determining whether any offer from an Interested Person constitutes a fair price for any such Defaulted Mortgage Loan, any Appraiser shall be instructed to take into account, as applicable, among other factors, the period and amount of any delinquency on the affected Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, the occupancy level and physical condition of the related Mortgaged Property and the state of the local economy. The Purchase Price for any Defaulted Mortgage Loan (and any equivalent amount for any related Companion Loan) shall in all cases be deemed a fair price and the Trustee will not be required to make a fair price determination if such offeror is an Interested Person; provided, however, that with respect to an Interested Person, the requirements of the first sentence of this Section 3.17(d) must be satisfied. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 3.17(d) to the contrary, if the Trustee is required to determine whether a cash offer by an Interested Person constitutes a fair price, the Trustee may (at its option and 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 or investing in properties similar to the subject REO Property that has been selected with reasonable care by the Trustee to determine if such cash offer constitutes a fair price for such REO Property. 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 costs of all appraisals, inspection reports and broker opinions of value incurred by any such third party pursuant to this paragraph will be covered by, and will be reimbursable by the Interested Person and if not paid, shall be reimbursed by the Trust; provided that the Trustee may not engage a third party expert whose fees exceed a commercially reasonable amount as determined by the Trustee.

 

(e)          Subject to Section 3.17(a) through Section 3.17(d), Section 3.17(f), Section 3.17(g) and Section 3.17(m), the Special Servicer shall act on behalf of the Trust Fund and any affected Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder in negotiating and taking any other action necessary or appropriate in connection with the sale of any Defaulted Mortgage Loan, and the collection of all amounts payable in connection therewith. In connection therewith, the Special Servicer may charge prospective offerors, and may retain, fees that approximate the Special Servicer’s actual costs in the preparation and delivery of information pertaining to such sales or exchanging offers without obligation to deposit such amounts into the Collection Account or, if

applicable, the Serviced Whole Loan Custodial Account. Any sale of any Defaulted Mortgage Loan shall be final and without recourse to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Trust Fund (except such recourse to the Trust Fund imposed by those representations and warranties typically given in such transactions, any appropriations applied thereto and any customary closing matters), and if such sale is consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, none of the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor or the Trustee shall have any liability to any Certificateholder with respect to the purchase price therefor accepted by the Special Servicer or the Trustee.

 

(f)           Subject to the rights of a holder of a mezzanine or companion loan, under the respective intercreditor or co-lender agreement, respectively, to purchase a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, unless and until a Defaulted Mortgage Loan is sold pursuant to this Section, the Special Servicer shall continue to service and administer the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the Servicing Standard and this Agreement and shall pursue such other resolutions or recovery strategies including workout, foreclosure or sale of a Mortgage Loan, as is consistent with this Agreement and the Servicing Standard.

 

(g)          Any sale of a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan pursuant to this Section 3.17 shall be for cash only. The purchase price for any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan purchased under this Section 3.17 or any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan sold in accordance with the related Co-Lender Agreement or Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be deposited into the Collection Account or the related Serviced Whole Loan Custodial Account, as applicable, and the Certificate Administrator, upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate from the Master Servicer to the effect that such deposit has been made, shall release or cause to be released to the purchaser of the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan the related Mortgage File, and shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in such purchaser ownership of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan. In connection with any such purchase, the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer shall deliver the related Servicing File (to the extent either has possession of such file) to such purchaser.

 

(h)          The parties hereto may sell or purchase, or permit the sale or purchase of, an REO Property only on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 3.17.

 

(i)           The Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to solicit offers for each REO Property (other than an REO Property related to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) on behalf of the Certificateholders and the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder (if applicable) in such manner as will be reasonably likely to realize a fair price within the time period specified by Section 3.16 of this Agreement. Subject to Section 3.17(m) of this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall accept the first (and, if multiple offers are contemporaneously received, highest) cash offer received from any Person that constitutes a fair price for such REO Property. If the Special Servicer determines, in its good faith and reasonable judgment, that it will be unable to realize a fair price for any REO Property within the time constraints imposed by Section 3.16 of this Agreement, then the Special Servicer shall dispose of such REO Property upon such terms and conditions as the Special Servicer shall deem necessary and desirable to maximize the recovery thereon under the circumstances and, in connection therewith, shall

 

-205-
 

 

accept the highest outstanding cash offer, regardless from whom received. The Liquidation Proceeds (net of related Liquidation Expenses) for any REO Property purchased hereunder shall be deposited in the Collection Account or, if applicable, the related Serviced Whole Loan Custodial Account. The Special Servicer shall notify the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event) and the Operating Advisor (after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event) of any inquiries or offers received regarding the sale of any REO Property.

 

(j)           The Special Servicer shall give the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the related Companion Loan Holder, the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event) and the Operating Advisor (after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event), not less than three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to sell any REO Property. No Interested Person shall be obligated to submit an offer to purchase any REO Property, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither the Trustee, in its individual capacity, nor any of its Affiliates may offer to purchase, or purchase, any REO Property pursuant hereto.

 

(k)          Whether any cash offer constitutes a fair price for any REO Property for purposes of Section 3.17(i) of this Agreement shall be determined by the Special Servicer, if the highest offeror is a Person other than an Interested Person, and by the Trustee, if the highest offeror is an Interested Person (provided that the Trustee may not be an offeror); provided, however, that no offer from an Interested Person shall constitute a fair price unless (i) it is the highest offer received and (ii) 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 REO Property, the Trustee shall be supplied with and shall rely on the most recent Appraisal or updated Appraisal conducted in accordance with this Agreement within the preceding 9-month period or, in the absence of any such Appraisal, on a new Appraisal. The appraiser conducting any such new Appraisal shall be an Appraiser selected by the Special Servicer if no Interested Person is offering with respect to an REO Property and selected by the Trustee if an Interested Person is so offering. The cost of any such Appraisal shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable as, a Property Advance. For the avoidance of doubt, an offer equivalent to the Repurchase Price shall be deemed a fair price and the Trustee shall not be required to make a fair price determination if such offeror is an Interested Person. In determining whether any such offer from a Person other than an Interested Person constitutes a fair price for any such REO Property, the Special Servicer shall take into account (in addition to the results of any Appraisal, updated Appraisal or narrative Appraisal that it may have obtained pursuant to this Agreement within the prior 9 months), and in determining whether any offer from an Interested Person constitutes a fair price for any such REO Property, any Appraiser shall be instructed to take into account, as applicable, among other factors, the period and amount of any delinquency on the affected Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, the occupancy level and physical condition of the REO Property, the state of the local economy and the obligation to dispose of any REO Property within the time period specified in Section 3.16 of this Agreement. The Purchase Price for any REO Property shall in all cases be deemed a fair price; provided, however, that with respect to an Interested Person, the requirements of the first sentence of this Section 3.17(k) must be satisfied. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 3.17(k) to the contrary, if the Trustee is required to determine whether a cash offer by an Interested Person

 

-206-
 

 

constitutes a fair price, the Trustee may (at its option and 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 or investing in properties similar to the subject REO Property that has been selected with reasonable care by the Trustee to determine if such cash offer constitutes a fair price for such REO Property. 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 costs of all appraisals, inspection reports and broker opinions of value incurred by any such third party pursuant to this paragraph will be covered by, and will be reimbursable by the Interested Person; provided that the Trustee will not engage a third party expert whose fees exceed a commercially reasonable amount as determined by the Trustee.

 

(l)           Subject to Section 3.17(a) through Section 3.17(k) and Section 3.17(m) of this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall act on behalf of the Trust Fund and any affected Companion Loan Holder in negotiating and taking any other action necessary or appropriate in connection with the sale of any Defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Property, and the collection of all amounts payable in connection therewith. In connection therewith, the Special Servicer may charge prospective offerors, and may retain, fees that approximate the Special Servicer’s actual costs in the preparation and delivery of information pertaining to such sales or exchanging offers without obligation to deposit such amounts into the Collection Account or, if applicable, the related Serviced Whole Loan Custodial Account. Any sale of any Defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Property shall be final and without recourse to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Trust Fund or any related Companion Loan Holder (except such recourse to the Trust Fund and the related Companion Loan Holder imposed by those representations and warranties typically given in such transactions, any appropriations applied thereto and any customary closing matters), and if such sale is consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, none of the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor or the Trustee shall have any liability to any Certificateholder with respect to the purchase price therefor accepted by the Special Servicer or the Trustee.

 

(m)         Notwithstanding any of the foregoing paragraphs of this Section 3.17, the Special Servicer shall not be obligated to accept the highest cash offer for a Defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Property if the Special Servicer determines (in consultation with the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event) and, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan or an REO Property related to a Serviced Whole Loan, the related affected Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s)), in accordance with the Servicing Standard, 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 that corresponds to a Serviced Whole Loan, the related affected Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related affected Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) constituted a single lender) and the Special Servicer may accept a lower cash offer (from any Person other than itself or an Affiliate) if it determines, in its reasonable and good faith judgment, 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 that corresponds to a Serviced Whole Loan, the related affected Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related affected

 

-207-
 

 

Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) constituted a single lender) (for example, if the prospective buyer making the lower offer is more likely to perform its obligations or the terms offered by the prospective buyer making the lower offer are more favorable).

 

(n)          In no event shall the Trust Fund or the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer on the Trustee’s behalf purchase, or pay or advance costs to purchase, any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, any Companion Loan or any Mortgage Loan.

 

(o)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any purchase or sale of a Specially Serviced Loan pursuant to this Section 3.17 will remain subject to the cure, purchase and other rights of, in each case if applicable, any related Subordinate Companion Loan Holder as set forth in the related Co-Lender Agreement and any holder of a related mezzanine loan as set forth in the related intercreditor agreement. The Special Servicer shall determine the price to be paid in accordance with the terms of the related Co-Lender Agreement or the related mezzanine loan intercreditor agreement in connection with any such purchase rights in favor of any related Subordinate Companion Loan Holder or an appropriate mezzanine loan holder and shall provide such notices to a related Subordinate Companion Loan Holder or the holder of a related mezzanine loan as are required by the related Co-Lender Agreement or the related mezzanine loan intercreditor agreement in connection with each such holders’ purchase rights.

 

(p)          With respect to each Serviced Whole Loan, the parties hereto acknowledge that the related Co-Lender Agreement provides that if such Serviced Whole Loan becomes a Defaulted Serviced Whole Loan, and if the Special Servicer determines to sell the related Mortgage Loan in accordance with this Section 3.17, then the Special Servicer will be required to sell the related Serviced Companion Loan(s) together with the related Mortgage Loan as one whole loan in accordance with this Agreement and subject to any rights of the related holder of such Serviced Companion Loan(s) under the related Co-Lender Agreement; provided that, in connection with any such sale involving the Charles River Plaza North Whole Loan, the Special Servicer will have the right (with the consent of the related Subordinate Companion Loan Holder), but not the obligation, to sell the Charles River Plaza North Subordinate Companion Loan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Special Servicer shall not sell the Pari Passu Companion Loans of a Defaulted Serviced Whole Loan without the written consent of the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder (provided that such consent is not required if such Serviced Companion Loan Holder is the related Mortgagor or an Affiliate of the related Mortgagor or (in the case of the Charles River Plaza North Portfolio Whole Loan, in the event the related Mortgage Loan is sold without the related Subordinate Companion Loan) the holder of the Charles River Plaza North Subordinate Companion Loan) unless the Special Servicer has delivered to such Serviced Companion Loan Holder: (a) at least 15 Business Days prior written notice of any decision to attempt to sell such Defaulted Serviced Whole Loan; (b) at least 10 days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of each bid package (together with any material amendments to such bid packages) received by the Special Servicer in connection with any such proposed sale; (c) at least 10 days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of the most recent appraisal for such Defaulted Serviced Whole Loan, and any documents in the Servicing File reasonably requested by the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder that are material to the price of such Serviced Whole Loan; and (d) until the sale is completed, and a reasonable period of time (but no less time than is afforded to other offerors and the Controlling Class Representative) prior to the proposed sale date, all information and other documents being

 

-208-
 

 

provided to other offerors and all leases or other documents that are approved by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in connection with the proposed sale; provided that such Serviced Companion Loan Holder may waive as to itself any of the delivery or timing requirements set forth in this sentence. The related Serviced Companion Loan Holder and its Companion Loan Holder Representative will each be permitted to make offers to purchase, and either such party is permitted to be the purchaser at any sale of, a Defaulted Serviced Whole Loan.

 

(q)          Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any party identified in the related Co-Lender Agreement or Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement (which, if the identified party is the holder of the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, shall mean the Controlling Class Certificateholder for so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing), in its individual capacity and not on behalf of the Trust, shall be entitled to purchase a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in such Co-Lender Agreement and Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In no event shall the Trust Fund or the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer on its behalf purchase, or pay or advance costs to purchase, the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan or the related Companion Loan or any Mortgage Loan.

 

(r)           With respect to any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan that becomes a “Defaulted Mortgage Loan” (as such term is defined pursuant to the terms of the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement), and with respect to any REO Property related to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the liquidation of such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan or such REO Property shall be administered by the applicable Other Special Servicer in accordance with the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the related Co-Lender Agreement. Any such sale of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan or any related REO Property pursuant to the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement and/or the related Co-Lender Agreement shall be final and without recourse to the Trustee or the Trust, and none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee shall have any liability to any Certificateholder with respect to the purchase price for such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan or such REO Property accepted on behalf of the Trust.

 

Section 3.18     Additional Obligations of the Master Servicer; Inspections Obligation to Notify Ground Lessors; Delivery of Certain Reports to the Companion Loan Holder.

 

(a)          The Master Servicer (or, with respect to Specially Serviced Loans and REO Properties, the Special Servicer) shall inspect or cause to be inspected each Mortgaged Property that secures a Mortgage Loan (but not a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Whole Loan at such times and in such manner as are consistent with the Servicing Standard, but in any event at least once every calendar year with respect to such Mortgaged Property relating to Mortgage Loans with an outstanding principal balance of $2,000,000 (commencing in 2016) or more and at least once every other calendar year with respect to such Mortgaged Property relating to Mortgage Loans with an outstanding principal balance of less than $2,000,000 (commencing in 2017); provided that the Master Servicer is not required to inspect any Mortgaged Property that has been inspected by the Special Servicer during the preceding 12 months. If any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan, the

 

-209-
 

 

related Mortgaged Property shall be inspected by the Special Servicer as soon as practicable and thereafter at least every calendar year for so long as such condition exists. The cost of any annual inspection, or bi-annual inspection, as the case may be, shall be borne by the Master Servicer unless the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan. The Master Servicer shall reimburse the Special Servicer for the cost of any inspection of a Specially Serviced Loan as a Property Advance (or as an expense of the Trust Fund and paid by the Master Servicer from amounts in the Collection Account if such Property Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance) and any out-of-pocket costs incurred with respect to such inspection shall be borne by the Trust Fund.

 

(b)          The Master Servicer shall, as to each Mortgage Loan (excluding the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans) which is secured by the interest of the related Mortgagor under a Ground Lease, even if the corresponding fee interest is encumbered, promptly (and in any event within 60 days following the later of the Closing Date or its receipt of a copy of the Ground Lease) notify the related ground lessor of the transfer of such Mortgage Loan to the Trust Fund pursuant to this Agreement and inform such ground lessor that any notices of default under the related Ground Lease should thereafter be forwarded to the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall forward to the Special Servicer any written notice of default under a ground lease, and the Special Servicer shall determine in accordance with the servicing standard whether to cure any borrower defaults relating to such Ground Lease.

 

(c)          The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each promptly prepare or cause to be prepared and deliver to each Companion Loan Holder a written report, prepared in the manner set forth in Section 4.02, of each inspection performed by it with respect to the related Mortgaged Property and Companion Loan related thereto.

 

(d)          If required under the Co-Lender Agreement, the Master Servicer shall promptly deliver to each Companion Loan Holder or provide electronically: (i) copies of operating statements and rent rolls; (ii) annual CREFC® NOI Adjustment Worksheets (with annual operating statements as exhibits); and (iii) annual CREFC® Operating Statement Analysis Reports, in each case prepared, received or obtained by it pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Mortgaged Properties securing the related Companion Loan.

 

(e)          The Master Servicer is hereby authorized to exercise any rights granted under an Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement in favor of the Trust (or a party on its behalf) as the holder of each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan to obtain information from the related Other Master Servicer (or other similar parties with an obligation to make advances) in connection with making nonrecoverability determinations. The Master Servicer shall promptly deliver to any Other Master Servicer, upon request, such information in the Master Servicer’s possession as the Other Master Servicer reasonably requests in order to determine whether an advance similar to a P&I Advance would be “nonrecoverable.”

 

Section 3.19     Lockbox Accounts, Escrow Accounts.  The Master Servicer shall administer each Lockbox Account and Escrow Account in accordance with the related Mortgage or Loan Agreement or Lockbox Agreement, if any, and administer any letters of credit pursuant to the related letter of credit agreement and the Mortgage Loan Documents.

 

-210-
 

  

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any cash amounts are held in an Escrow Account or other cash collateral account and the mortgagee under the related Mortgage Loan Documents is permitted, but not required, to apply such amounts to prepay the related Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole Loan), neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall apply such amounts to prepay the Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Whole Loan) until after the occurrence of an event of default under the Mortgage Loan that may result in the Mortgage Loan (or Whole Loan) being accelerated or becoming a Specially Serviced Loan.

 

Section 3.20     Property Advances.

 

(a)          Except with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer (or, to the extent provided in Section 3.20(b) of this Agreement, the Trustee) shall make any Property Advances as and to the extent incidental to the performance of its duties under this Agreement or otherwise required pursuant to the terms hereof. The Special Servicer shall give the Master Servicer, the Trustee and any affected Companion Loan Holder not less than five (or, in the case of emergency advances pursuant to Section 3.20(e) of this Agreement, two) Business Days’ written notice before the date on which the Master Servicer is requested to make any Property Advance with respect to a given Specially Serviced Loan or REO Property. In addition, the Special Servicer shall provide the Master Servicer, the Trustee and any affected Companion Loan Holder with such information in its possession as the Master Servicer, the Trustee or such Companion Loan Holder, as applicable, may reasonably request to enable the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, to determine whether a requested Property Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. Any such notice by the Special Servicer (or, if appropriate, any party under the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) to the Master Servicer of a required Property Advance shall be deemed to be a determination by the Special Servicer (or such other party under the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement) that such requested Property Advance is not a Nonrecoverable Advance, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such determination. Although the Special Servicer (or, if appropriate, any party under the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) may determine whether a Property Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Special Servicer will have no right to make an affirmative determination that any Property Advance to be made (or contemplated to be made) by the Master Servicer or the Trustee is, or would be, recoverable; provided that this sentence shall not be construed to limit the Special Servicer’s right to make a determination that a Property Advance to be made (or contemplated to be made), will not be ultimately recoverable. In the absence of a determination by the Special Servicer (or, if appropriate, a party under the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) that a Property Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, all determinations of recoverability with respect to Property Advances to be made (or contemplated to be made) by the Master Servicer or the Trustee will remain with the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable. On the fourth Business Day before each Distribution Date, the Special Servicer shall report to the Master Servicer the Special Servicer’s determination as to whether any Property Advance previously made with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan is a Nonrecoverable Advance promptly after making such determination. The Master Servicer and the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on and shall be bound by such a determination and shall be bound by a determination by the Special Servicer (or, if appropriate, a party under the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) that a Property

 

-211-
 

 

Advance previously made or contemplated to be made with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan is or would be a Nonrecoverable Advance (but this statement shall not be construed to entitle the Special Servicer to reverse any determination that may have been made by the Master Servicer or the Trustee or to prohibit the Master Servicer or the Trustee from making a determination, that any Property Advance constitutes or would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance). The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall consider Unliquidated Advances in respect of prior Property Advances for the purposes of non-recoverability determinations as if such amounts were unreimbursed Property Advances.

 

For purposes of distributions to Certificateholders and Companion Loan Holders and compensation to the Master Servicer or the Trustee, Property Advances shall not be considered to increase the principal balance of any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan so provide.

 

(b)          The Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee, the Special Servicer and any related Companion Loan Holder in writing promptly upon, and in any event within one (1) Business Day after, becoming aware that it will be unable to make any Property Advance required to be made pursuant to the terms hereof, and in connection therewith, shall set forth in such notice the amount of such Property Advance, the Person to whom it will be paid, and the circumstances and purpose of such Property Advance, and shall set forth therein information and instructions for the payment of such Property Advance, and, on the date specified in such notice for the payment of such Property Advance, or, if the date for payment has passed or if no such date is specified, then within five (5) Business Days following such notice, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 3.20(c) of this Agreement, shall pay the amount of such Property Advance in accordance with such information and instructions. Any notice to the Trustee pursuant to this Section shall be deemed to be given to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee if made in accordance with Section 11.04 of this Agreement.

 

(c)          None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee shall be permitted to make a Property Advance as to any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan or REO Property if the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee determines that such Advance will be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The determination by the Master Servicer or the Trustee that it has made (or, the determination by the Special Servicer that the Master Servicer or the Trustee has made) a Nonrecoverable Advance or the determination by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee that any proposed Property Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be made by such Person (i) in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, in accordance with the Servicing Standard and (ii) in the case of the Trustee, in accordance with its good faith business judgment, and, shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate as set forth in this Section 3.20(c). In making such recoverability determination, such Person will be entitled to consider (among other things) the obligations of the Mortgagor under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan as it may have been modified, to consider (among other things) 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, to estimate and consider (among other things) future expenses and to estimate and consider (among other things) the timing of recoveries. In addition, any such Person may update or change its recoverability determinations at any time (but not reverse any other Person’s

 

-212-
 

 

determination that an Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance) and may obtain at the expense of the Trust Fund any analysis, Appraisals or market value estimates or other information as reasonably may be required for such purposes.

 

The determination by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer that a Property Advance has become a Nonrecoverable Property Advance or that any proposed Property Advance, if made pursuant to this Section 3.20 with respect to any Mortgage Loan (or with respect to any successor REO Mortgage Loan with respect to any of the foregoing), would constitute a Nonrecoverable Property Advance, shall be conclusive and binding on the Master Servicer (in the case of such a determination by the Special Servicer) and the Trustee; provided that this sentence shall not be construed to entitle the Special Servicer to reverse any other authorized Person’s determination, or to prohibit any such other authorized Person from making a determination, that a Property Advance constitutes or would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.

 

The determination by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee that a Property Advance has become a Nonrecoverable Property Advance or that any proposed Property Advance, if made pursuant to this Section 3.20 with respect to any Mortgage Loan (or with respect to any successor REO Mortgage Loan with respect to any of the foregoing), would constitute a Nonrecoverable Property Advance, shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered on or prior to the next Master Servicer Remittance Date to the Companion Loan Holders (and the related Other Master Servicer and Other Special Servicer, if applicable), in the case of any Serviced Whole Loan, the Trustee (unless it is the Person making the determination), the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event), the Master Servicer (unless it is the Person making the determination), the Special Servicer (unless it is the Person making the determination) and, if the Trustee is making the determination, the Depositor, setting forth the basis for such determination, together with any other information that supports such determination together with a copy of any Appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property, as the case may be (which Appraisal shall be an expense of the Trust Fund, shall take into account any material change in circumstances of which such Person is aware or such Person has received new information, either of which has a material effect on the value and shall have been conducted in accordance with the standards of the Appraisal Institute within the twelve months preceding such determination of nonrecoverability), and further accompanied by related Mortgagor operating statements and financial statements, budgets and rent rolls of the related Mortgaged Property (to the extent available and/or in such Person’s possession) and any engineers’ reports, environmental surveys or similar reports that such Person may have obtained and that support such determination. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely, conclusively, on any determination by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer that a Property Advance is or, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to rely, conclusively, on any determination by the Special Servicer or the Trustee that a Property Advance is or, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The Trustee, in determining whether or not a Property Advance previously made is, or a proposed Property Advance, if made, would be, a Nonrecoverable Advance shall use its good faith business judgment.

 

(d)          The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and/or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to the reimbursement of Property Advances made by any of them to

 

-213-
 

 

the extent permitted pursuant to Section 3.06(a)(ii) or Section 3.06A of this Agreement, together with any related Advance Interest Amount in respect of such Property Advances, and the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, hereby covenant and agree to use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to obtain the reimbursement of such Property Advances from the related Mortgagors to the extent permitted by applicable law and the related Mortgage Loan Documents.

 

(e)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if a Property Advance is required to be made under this Agreement with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan or REO Property (other than an REO Property related to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), the Special Servicer shall request that the Master Servicer make such Property Advance, such request to be made, in writing, at least five (5) Business Days (or, in the case of an Emergency Advance, two (2) Business Days, provided that the written request sets forth the nature of the emergency or the basis of the urgency) in advance of the date on which such Property Advance is required to be made hereunder and to be accompanied by such information and documentation regarding the subject Property Advance as the Master Servicer may reasonably request, subject to the Master Servicer’s right to determine that such Property Advance does not constitute or would not constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. The Master Servicer shall have the obligation to make any such Property Advance that it is so requested by the Special Servicer to make, within five (5) Business Days (or, in the case of an Emergency Advance, two (2) Business Days) of the Master Servicer’s receipt of such request. The Special Servicer shall have no obligation to make any Property Advance; provided that the Special Servicer may in its sole discretion elect to make an Emergency Advance, and the Master Servicer shall reimburse the Special Servicer for such Advance (with interest thereon), provided that such Advance is not determined by the Master Servicer, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, to be nonrecoverable. Once reimbursed, the Master Servicer shall be deemed to have made such Property Advance as of the date made by the Special Servicer, and shall be entitled to reimbursement with interest thereon. Any such Advance made by the Special Servicer, but not reimbursed by the Master Servicer, shall be reimbursable out of the Collection Account in the same manner as are Advances made by the Master Servicer.

 

(f)           Within five (5) Business Days of making an Emergency Advance, the Special Servicer shall deliver to the Master Servicer request for reimbursement for such Emergency Advance, along with all information and documentation regarding the subject Emergency Advance as the Master Servicer may reasonably request, and the Master Servicer shall be obligated, out of such Master Servicer’s own funds, to reimburse the Special Servicer for any unreimbursed Emergency Advances (other than Nonrecoverable Property Advances) made by the Special Servicer pursuant to the proviso to the penultimate sentence of Section 3.20(e), together with interest thereon at the Advance Rate from the date made to, but not including, the date of reimbursement. Such reimbursement and any accompanying payment of interest shall be made within five (5) Business Days of the written request therefor pursuant to the preceding sentence by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Special Servicer. Upon the Master Servicer’s reimbursement to the Special Servicer of any Emergency Advance and payment to the Special Servicer of interest thereon, all in accordance with this Section 3.20(f), the Master Servicer shall for all purposes of this Agreement be deemed to have made such Emergency Advance at the same time as the Special Servicer actually made such Emergency Advance, and accordingly, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to be

 

-214-
 

 

reimbursed for such Emergency Advance, together with interest thereon at the Advance Rate, at the same time, in the same manner and to the same extent as the Master Servicer would otherwise have been entitled if it had actually made such Emergency Advance at the time the Special Servicer did. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.20(f), the Master Servicer shall not be required to reimburse the Special Servicer for any Emergency Advance if the Master Servicer determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that such Emergency Advance, although not characterized by the Special Servicer as a Nonrecoverable Property Advance, is in fact a Nonrecoverable Property Advance. The Master Servicer shall notify the Special Servicer in writing of such determination and, if applicable, such Nonrecoverable Property Advance shall be reimbursed to the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.06(a) of this Agreement.

 

Section 3.21     Appointment of Special Servicer; Asset Status Reports.

 

(a)           Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC is hereby appointed as the initial Special Servicer to specially service each of the Mortgage Loans (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and the Serviced Whole Loans.

 

(b)           The Special Servicer, at the earlier of (x) within 60 days after a Servicing Transfer Event occurs and (y) prior to taking action with respect to any Major Decision or, if applicable, AB Whole Loan Major Decision (or making a determination not to take action with respect to a Major Decision or, if applicable, AB Whole Loan Major Decision with respect to a Specially Serviced Loan, shall prepare a report (the “Asset Status Report”) for the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan.

(F)          a description of any amendment, modification or waiver of a material term of any ground lease; and

 

(G)          if the Special Servicer elects to proceed with a non-judicial foreclosure, then a statement as to (i) whether there was a violation of a non-recourse carve-out under the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan and (ii) any determination not to pursue a deficiency judgment against the related Mortgagor or guarantor;

 

(iii)         a description of any such proposed or taken actions;

 

(iv)         the alternative courses of action that were or are being considered by the Special Servicer in connection with the proposed or taken actions;

 

(v)          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;

 

(vi)         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 (including the applicable Calculation Rate used) and all related assumptions; and

 

(vii)        such other information as the Special Servicer deems relevant in light of the proposed or taken action and the Servicing Standard.

 

For so long as there is no continuing Control Termination Event, if within 10 Business Days (or, in the case of an Asset Status Report prepared prior to making a determination of an Acceptable Insurance Default, 20 Business Days) of receiving an Asset

 

-216-
 

 

Status Report, the Controlling Class Representative does not disapprove such Asset Status Report in writing, then the Controlling Class Representative shall be deemed to have approved such Asset Status Report and the Special Servicer shall implement the recommended action as outlined in such Asset Status Report; provided, however, that the Special Servicer may not take any action that is contrary to applicable law, the Servicing Standard or the terms of the applicable Mortgage Loan Documents. If, prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative disapproves such Asset Status Report within 10 Business Days (or, in the case of an Asset Status Report prepared prior to making a determination of an Acceptable Insurance Default, 20 Business Days) of receipt, the Special Servicer will revise such Asset Status Report and deliver to the Operating Advisor (after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event), the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event), the Certificate Administrator, the related Companion Loan Holders (other than the Charles River Plaza North Whole Loan, if applicable, prior to any Whole Loan Control Appraisal Event or the WPC Department Store Portfolio Whole Loan, if applicable, prior to the WPC Department Store Portfolio Securitization Date) and, for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant Section 11.13 of this Agreement, the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider a new Asset Status Report as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 30 days after such disapproval. Prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control Termination Event, the Special Servicer shall revise such Asset Status Report as described above until the Controlling Class Representative shall fail to disapprove such revised Asset Status Report in writing within 10 Business Days (or, in the case of an Asset Status Report prepared prior to making a determination of an Acceptable Insurance Default, 20 Business Days) of receiving such revised Asset Status Report or until the Special Servicer makes a determination, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that such objection is not in the best interests of all the Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders, and/or Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s), if applicable, constitute a single lender). The Special Servicer may, from time to time, modify any Asset Status Report it has previously delivered and implement such report, provided such report shall have been prepared, reviewed and approved or deemed approved pursuant to the terms of this Section. In any event, for so long as a Control Termination Event has not occurred and is not continuing, if the Controlling Class Representative does not approve an Asset Status Report within 60 Business Days from the first submission thereof, the Special Servicer shall take such action as set forth in the most recently submitted Asset Status Report; provided such action does not violate the Servicing Standard. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Special Servicer determines that emergency action is necessary to protect the related Mortgaged Property or the interests of the Certificateholders and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holders, or if a failure to take any such action at such time would be inconsistent with the Servicing Standard, the Special Servicer may take actions with respect to the related Mortgaged Property before the expiration of a 10 Business Day period (or 20 Business Day period, if applicable) if the Special Servicer reasonably determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that failure to take such actions before the expiration of a 10 Business Day period (or 20 Business Day period, if applicable) would materially and adversely affect the interest of the Certificateholders and the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder (if applicable) and the Special Servicer has made a reasonable effort, prior to the occurrence and continuance of any Control Termination Event, to

 

-217-
 

 

contact the Controlling Class Representative. The foregoing shall not relieve the Special Servicer of its duties to comply with the Servicing Standard.

 

After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Special Servicer shall consult on a non-binding basis with the Operating Advisor in connection with each Asset Status Report prior to finalizing and executing such Asset Status Report and the Operating Advisor shall propose, by written notice, alternative courses of action within 10 days of receipt of each Asset Status Report to the extent the Operating Advisor determines such alternatives to be in the best interest of the Certificateholders (including any Certificateholders of Certificates that were previously included in the Control Eligible Certificates), as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders constituted a single lender. In addition, 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 Special Servicer shall also consult on a non-binding basis with the Controlling Class Representative in connection with each Asset Status Report prior to finalizing and executing such Asset Status Report and the Controlling Class Representative shall be permitted to propose alternative courses of action within 10 days of receipt of each Asset Status Report. The Special Servicer shall consider any such proposals from the Operating Advisor and/or the Controlling Class Representative and determine whether any changes to its proposed Asset Status Report should be made, such determination being made in accordance with the Servicing Standard and the other terms of this Agreement. In the event that the Operating Advisor or the Controlling Class Representative does not propose alternative courses of action within 10 days after receipt of such Asset Status Report, the Special Servicer shall implement the Asset Status Report as proposed by the Special Servicer.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative shall have no right to receive any Asset Status Report or otherwise consult with the Special Servicer with respect to any matter set forth therein. After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative shall have no right to consent to any Asset Status Report under this Section 3.21(b).

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder (or its Companion Loan Holder Representative) shall, at all times contemplated by the related Co-Lender Agreement, be entitled to consult on a non-binding basis with the Special Servicer and propose alternative courses of action in respect of any Asset Status Report as set forth in Section 3.27(d) of this Agreement.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, for as long as the related Subordinate Companion Loan Holder is the Whole Loan Directing Holder for the Charles River Plaza North Whole Loan, no request for approval of the Controlling Class Representative shall be made on any matter related to such AB Whole Loan, nor shall the Operating Advisor have the right to consult on any matter related to such AB Whole Loan, nor shall the Controlling Class Representative have the right to consent on any matter related to such AB Whole Loan, except that the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event) shall have the rights set forth

 

-218-
 

 

in the applicable Co-Lender Agreement. With respect to the Charles River Plaza North Whole Loan and any related REO Property, for so long as the related Subordinate Companion Loan Holder is the applicable Whole Loan Directing Holder, the related Subordinate Companion Loan Holder or its designee shall exercise all approval rights regarding any Asset Status Report in respect of such AB Whole Loan or REO Property set forth in the first and second paragraphs of this Section 3.21(b) without regard to the occurrence of any Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, prior to the WPC Department Store Portfolio Securitization Date, no request for approval of the Controlling Class Representative shall be made on any matter related to the WPC Department Store Portfolio Whole Loan, nor shall the Operating Advisor have the right to consult on any matter related to the WPC Department Store Portfolio Whole Loan, nor shall the Controlling Class Representative have the right to consent on any matter related to the WPC Department Store Portfolio Whole Loan, except that the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event) shall have the rights set forth in the applicable Co-Lender Agreement. With respect to the WPC Department Store Portfolio Whole Loan and any related REO Property, prior to the WPC Department Store Portfolio Securitization Date, the WPC Department Store Portfolio Directing Holder shall exercise all approval rights regarding any Asset Status Report in respect of WPC Department Store Portfolio Whole Loan or REO Property set forth in the second paragraph of this Section 3.21(b) without regard to the occurrence of any Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event.

 

The Special Servicer shall deliver (i) any Final Asset Status report to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting on its Website, and (ii) a summary of the Final Asset Status Report (which such summary shall be prepared on a loan-by-loan basis) to the Certificate Administrator for posting on its website.

 

(c)          Subject to Section 3.21(b) of this Agreement, during the continuance of a Servicing Transfer Event, the Special Servicer shall have the authority to meet with the related Mortgagors and take any actions consistent with the Servicing Standard and the most recent Asset Status Report for the related Mortgage Loan.

 

(d)          Upon request of any Certificateholder (or any Beneficial Owner, if applicable, which shall have provided the Certificate Administrator with an Investor Certification), the Certificate Administrator shall mail, without charge, to the address specified in such request a copy of the Final Asset Status Report for each Specially Serviced Loan.

 

(e)          Prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Special Servicer shall deliver to the Operating Advisor only each Final Asset Status Report.

In addition, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer is under any obligation to act upon any recommendation of the Operating Advisor.

 

Section 3.22     Transfer of Servicing Between Master Servicer and Special Servicer; Record Keeping.

 

(a)          Upon determining that any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan has become a Specially Serviced Loan, the Master Servicer shall promptly give written notice thereof to the Special Servicer, any related Companion Loan Holder (in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan), the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative, and, for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 11.13 of this Agreement, the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider and shall deliver a copy of the Servicing File to the Special Servicer and concurrently provide a copy of such Servicing File to the Operating Advisor and shall use its reasonable efforts to provide the Special Servicer with all information, documents (but excluding the original documents constituting the Mortgage File, but including copies thereof) and records (including records stored electronically on computer tapes, magnetic discs and the like) relating to the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan and reasonably requested by the Special Servicer to enable it to assume its duties hereunder with respect thereto without acting through a Sub-Servicer. The Master Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to comply with the preceding sentence within five (5) Business Days of the date such Mortgage Loan and/or Serviced Companion Loan became a Specially Serviced Loan and in any event shall continue to act as Master Servicer and administrator of such Mortgage Loan and/or Serviced Companion Loan until the Special Servicer has commenced the servicing of such Mortgage Loan and/or Serviced Companion Loan, which shall occur upon the receipt by the Special Servicer of the Servicing File. With respect to each such Mortgage Loan and/or Serviced Companion Loan that becomes a Specially Serviced Loan, the Master Servicer shall instruct the related Mortgagor to continue to remit all payments in respect of such Mortgage Loan and/or Serviced Companion Loan to the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall forward any notices it would otherwise send to the Mortgagor of such a Specially Serviced Loan to the Special Servicer who shall send such notice to the related Mortgagor.

 

Upon determining that a Specially Serviced Loan has become a Corrected Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall immediately give written notice thereof to the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, any related Companion Loan Holder and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative, and, for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 11.13 of this Agreement, the Rule 17g-5

Information Provider and, upon giving such notice and the return of the Servicing File to the Master Servicer, such Mortgage Loan and/or Serviced Companion Loan shall cease to be a Specially Serviced Loan in accordance with the first proviso of the definition of Specially Serviced Loans, the Special Servicer’s obligation to service such Mortgage Loan and/or Serviced Companion Loan shall terminate and the obligations of the Master Servicer to service and administer such Mortgage Loan and/or Serviced Companion Loan as a Mortgage Loan and/or Serviced Companion Loan that is not a Specially Serviced Loan shall resume. In addition, if the related Mortgagor has been instructed, pursuant to the preceding paragraph, to make payments to the Special Servicer, upon such determination, the Special Servicer shall instruct the related Mortgagor to remit all payments in respect of such Specially Serviced Loan directly to the Master Servicer.

 

(b)          In servicing any Specially Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer shall provide to the Custodian originals of documents included within the definition of “Mortgage File” for inclusion in the related Mortgage File (to the extent such documents are in the possession of the Special Servicer) and copies of any additional related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan information, including correspondence with the related Mortgagor, and the Special Servicer shall promptly provide copies of all of the foregoing to the Master Servicer as well as copies of any analysis or internal review prepared by or for the benefit of the Special Servicer.

 

(c)          Notwithstanding the provisions of subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 3.22, the Master Servicer shall maintain ongoing payment records with respect to each of the Specially Serviced Loans and, upon request, shall provide the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor with any information reasonably required by the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor to perform its duties under this Agreement to the extent such information is within its possession.

Section 3.23     Interest Reserve Account. The Certificate Administrator shall establish and maintain the Interest Reserve Account. The Interest Reserve Account shall be established and maintained as an Eligible Account. On each Master Servicer Remittance Date occurring in February and on any Master Servicer Remittance Date occurring in January which occurs in a year that is not a leap year (commencing in 2016) (unless, in either such case, the related Distribution Date is the final Distribution Date), the Master Servicer shall remit to the Certificate Administrator for deposit into the Interest Reserve Account, in respect of each Mortgage Loan that accrues interest on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days in the related month, an amount equal to one day’s interest at the related Net Mortgage Loan Rate, on the respective Stated Principal Balance, as of the close of business on the Distribution Date in the month preceding the month in which such Master Servicer Remittance Date occurs, to the extent the applicable Monthly Payment or P&I Advance is made in respect thereof (all amounts so deposited in any consecutive January (if applicable) and February, “Withheld Amounts”). On or prior to the Master Servicer Remittance Date occurring in March (or February, if such Distribution Date is the final Distribution Date) of each calendar year, the

Certificate Administrator shall transfer to the Lower-Tier Distribution Account the aggregate of all Withheld Amounts on deposit in the Interest Reserve Account.

 

Section 3.24     Modifications, Waivers and Amendments.

 

(a)          (i) With respect to non Specially Serviced Loans, the Special Servicer (with respect to any Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision, unless the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer mutually agree that, in connection with any modification, waiver or amendment that constitutes a Major Decision or a Special Servicer Decision, the Master Servicer shall process and determine whether to consent to, subject to the consent of the Special Servicer, such modification, waiver or amendment) or the Master Servicer (with respect to any modification, waiver or amendment that does not constitute a Major Decision or a Special Servicer Decision) or (ii) with respect to any Specially Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer, in each case subject to any applicable consent or consultation rights (if any) of the Operating Advisor, the consent or consultation rights (if any) of the Controlling Class Representative, the Charles River Plaza North Directing Holder, the WPC Department Store Portfolio Directing Holder and the consultation rights (if any) of any related holder of a Pari Passu Companion Loan or its Companion Loan Holder Representative (as applicable), may modify, waive or amend any term of any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan if such modification, waiver or amendment (A) is consistent with the Servicing Standard and (B) would not constitute a “significant modification” of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b) and would not otherwise (1) cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes or (2) result in the imposition of a tax upon either Trust REMIC or the Trust (including but not limited to the tax on “prohibited transactions” as defined in Code Section 860F(a)(2) and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Code Section 860G(d), but not including the tax on “net income from foreclosure property” under Code Section 860G(c)). The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer may rely on an Opinion of Counsel with respect to such determination.

 

In addition, subject to the next sentence, with respect to non-Specially Serviced Loans, the Master Servicer, prior to taking any action with respect to any Major Decision (or making a determination not to take action with respect to a Major Decision) and prior to taking any action with respect to a Special Servicer Decision (or making a determination not to take action with respect to a Special Servicer Decision), shall refer any request with respect to such Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision to the Special Servicer and the Special Servicer shall process the request directly or, if mutually agreed to by the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer shall (subject to the consent of the Special Servicer) process such request. If the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer mutually agree that the Master Servicer shall (subject to the consent of the Special Servicer) process a request with respect to a Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision, the Master Servicer shall prepare and submit its written analysis and recommendation to the Special Servicer with all information reasonably available to 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 shall be entitled (subject to the consultation rights of the Operating Advisor, the consent or consultation rights of the Controlling Class Representative or any related Whole Loan Directing Holder, or the consultation rights of any related Companion Loan Holder or its Companion Loan Holder Representative (as

 

-222-
 

 

applicable)) to approve or disapprove any modification, waiver or amendment or other action that constitutes a Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision. Subject to Section 3.10 of this Agreement, if the Master Servicer is processing the request for a Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision, the Special Servicer shall have 15 Business Days (or, (a) with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan (other than the Charles River Plaza North Whole Loan), such longer period as required by the related Co-Lender Agreement for review by any related Companion Loan Holder or its Companion Loan Holder Representative and (b) with respect to the Charles River Plaza North Whole Loan, such longer period as required by the related Co-Lender Agreement for review by any related Whole Loan Directing Holder or its designee) (or 30 days with respect to an Acceptable Insurance Default) (from the date that the Special Servicer receives the Master Servicer’s written analysis and recommendation and any supporting information it requested from the Master Servicer) to analyze and approve such Major Decision or Special Servicer Decision and, prior to the end of such 15 Business Day period or such longer period if required by the applicable Co-Lender Agreement or 30-day period, as applicable, for so long as a Control Termination Event has not occurred and is not continuing with respect to a Major Decision, is required to notify the Controlling Class Representative, in the case of the Charles River Plaza North Whole Loan for so long as the related Subordinate Companion Loan Holder is the related Whole Loan Directing Holder, the related Whole Loan Directing Holder or, in the case of the WPC Department Store Portfolio Whole Loan, the WPC Department Store Portfolio Directing Holder, as applicable, of such request for approval and provide its written analysis and recommendation with respect thereto. Following such notice, the Controlling Class Representative, related Whole Loan Directing Holder or the WPC Department Store Portfolio Directing Holder, as applicable, shall have 10 Business Days (or, in the case of a determination of an Acceptable Insurance Default, 20 days) from the date it receives from the Special Servicer the recommendation and analysis of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and any other information it may reasonably request (or, with respect to the AB Whole Loan, such longer time period as may be provided in the related Co-Lender Agreement) to approve any recommendation of the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer relating to any request for approval. In any event, subject to the Co-Lender Agreement for any Whole Loan, if the Controlling Class Representative, Whole Loan Directing Holder or WPC Department Store Portfolio Directing Holder, if required, does not respond to a request for approval by 5:00 p.m. on the 10th Business Day or such longer period if required by the applicable Co-Lender Agreement or 20th day, as applicable, after receipt of the applicable recommendation and analysis and other requested information as set forth in the preceding sentence, the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, may deem its recommendation approved by the Controlling Class Representative and if the Master Servicer processes such request and the Special Servicer does not respond to a request for approval within the required 15 Business Days or such longer period if required by the applicable Co-Lender Agreement or 30 days, as applicable, the Master Servicer may deem its recommendation approved by the Special Servicer. With respect to any non-Specially Serviced Loan, the Master Servicer, without the consent of the Special Servicer, shall be responsible to determine whether to consent to or approve any request by the related Mortgagor with respect to any action that is neither a Major Decision nor a Special Servicer Decision.

 

No modification, waiver or amendment of any Co-Lender Agreement related to a Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and any Serviced Companion Loan, or an action to enforce rights with respect thereto, in each case, in a manner that materially and

 

-223-
 

 

adversely affects the rights, duties and obligations of the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, shall be permitted without the prior written consent of the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable.

 

(b)          All modifications, waivers or amendments of any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan shall be in writing and shall be effected in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall notify in writing the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) (in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan which, for so long as any Serviced Companion Loan has been included in an Other Securitization Trust, shall be deemed to be the related master servicer under the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, unless the notifying party has received written notice otherwise), the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event), the Operating Advisor (after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event) and, for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 11.13 of this Agreement, the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider, of any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan and the date thereof, and shall deliver a copy to the Trustee, any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) (in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan which, for so long as any Serviced Companion Loan has been included in an Other Securitization Trust, shall be deemed to be the related Other Master Servicer under the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, unless the notifying party has received written notice otherwise), the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event) and the Operating Advisor (after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event) and an original to the Custodian of the recorded agreement relating to such modification, waiver or amendment within 15 Business Days following the execution and recordation thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the requirements with respect to delivery of an assumption agreement shall be governed by Section 3.09.

 

(c)          Any modification of any Mortgage Loan Documents that requires obtaining a Rating Agency Confirmation pursuant to such Mortgage Loan Documents, or any modification that would eliminate, modify or alter the requirement of obtaining a Rating Agency Confirmation in such Mortgage Loan Documents, shall not be made without obtaining a Rating Agency Confirmation. The Rating Agency Confirmation shall be obtained at the related Mortgagor’s expense in accordance with the related Loan Agreement or, if not so provided in such Loan Agreement or if such Mortgagor does not pay, at the expense of the Trust Fund.

 

(d)          Promptly after any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer shall request from the Certificate Administrator the name of the current Controlling Class Representative and shall request from the Master Servicer the name of the current related Companion Loan Holder(s). Upon receipt of the name of such current Controlling Class Representative from the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer shall notify the Controlling Class Representative that such Mortgage Loan became a Specially Serviced Loan. Upon receipt of the name(s) of such current related Companion Loan Holder from the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer shall notify the related Companion Loan Holder that the related Serviced Whole Loan became a Specially Serviced Loan. The Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for providing the name of the current Controlling Class

 

-224-
 

 

Representative only to the extent the Controlling Class Representative has identified itself as such to the Certificate Administrator; provided that if the Controlling Class Representative is determined pursuant to the proviso in the definition of “Controlling Class Representative”, then (i) the Certificate Administrator shall determine which Class is the Controlling Class and (ii) the Special Servicer shall request from the Certificate Administrator, and the Certificate Administrator shall request from the Depository at the expense of the Trust, the list of Beneficial Holders of the Controlling Class, and the Certificate Administrator shall provide (on a reasonably prompt basis) such list to the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer at the expense of the Trust Fund.

 

(e)          [Reserved.]

 

(f)          The Special Servicer or Master Servicer may, as a condition to granting any request by a Mortgagor for consent to a modification, extension, waiver or indulgence or any other matter or thing, the granting of which is within its discretion pursuant to the terms of the instruments evidencing or securing the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan and, further, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and applicable law, require that such Mortgagor pay to it a reasonable or customary fee for the additional services performed in connection with such request and any related costs and expenses incurred by it; provided that the charging of such fee would not be a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b).

 

(g)          Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Agreement, in no event shall the Special Servicer be permitted to:

 

(i)           extend the Maturity Date of a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan beyond a date that is three (3) years prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date; or

 

(ii)          if the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan is secured by a ground lease, extend the Maturity Date of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan beyond a date which is 20 years or, to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard, giving due consideration to the remaining term of the ground lease, 10 years prior to the end of the current term of such ground lease, plus any options to extend exercisable unilaterally by the related Mortgagor.

 

(h)          In connection with (i) the release of a Mortgaged Property or any portion of a Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage or (ii) the taking of a Mortgaged Property or any portion of a Mortgaged Property by exercise of the power of eminent domain or condemnation, if the Mortgage Loan Documents require the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to calculate (or require the related Mortgagor to provide such calculation to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable) 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, unless then permitted by the REMIC Provisions, such calculation shall exclude the value of personal property and going concern value, if any. If, following any such release or taking, the loan-to-value ratio as so calculated is greater than 125%, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, will require a payment

 

-225-
 

 

of principal by a “qualified amount” as determined under Revenue Procedure 2010-30 or successor provisions unless the related Mortgagor provides an Opinion of Counsel that if such amount is not paid the related Mortgage Loan will not fail to be a Qualified Mortgage.

 

(i)           If and to the extent that the Trust, as holder of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, is entitled to exercise any consent and/or consultation rights with respect to modifications, waivers and amendments or certain other major decisions under the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such rights shall be exercised by the Controlling Class Representative or, following a Consultation Termination Event, the Operating Advisor, in accordance with Section 3.01(j). The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall only be obligated to forward any requests received from the related Other Master Servicer or the related Other Special Servicer, as applicable, for such consent and/or consultation to the Controlling Class Representative (unless, with respect to consent rights, a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing or, with respect to consultation rights, a Consultation Termination Event has occurred) or, following a Consultation Termination Event with respect to any consultation rights, to the Operating Advisor, and shall have no right or obligation to exercise any such consent or consultation rights. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing provisions of this paragraph shall not impose any consent rights on the Operating Advisor with respect to the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan.

 

Section 3.25     Additional Obligations with Respect to Certain Mortgage Loans.

 

(a)          With respect to each Mortgage Loan (other than the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans) with a Stated Principal Balance in excess of $35,000,000, with respect to any replacement of the Manager for the related Mortgaged Property, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, to the extent permitted by the related Mortgage Loan Documents, shall require a Rating Agency Confirmation and shall condition its consent to such replacement on the Mortgagor paying for such Rating Agency Confirmation.

 

With respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan), if any mezzanine loan is directly or indirectly secured by any equity interest of the related Mortgagor, the Master Servicer (if (i) the related Mortgage Loan is a non-Specially Serviced Loan and (ii) the performance of the particular obligation would not constitute a Special Servicer Decision or a Major Decision) or the Special Servicer (if (i) the related Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Loan or (ii) the performance of an obligation would constitute a Special Servicer Decision or a Major Decision) shall perform the obligations of the Trust, as holder of the related Mortgage Loan, or its servicer under the related mezzanine loan intercreditor agreement.

 

Section 3.26     Additional Matters Regarding Advance Reimbursement.

 

(a)          Upon the determination that a previously made Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, to the extent that the reimbursement thereof would exceed the full amount of the principal portion of general collections on the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, at its own option and in its sole discretion, as applicable, instead of obtaining reimbursement for the remaining amount of such Nonrecoverable Advance pursuant to Section 3.06(a)(ii)(B) of this Agreement

 

-226-
 

 

immediately, may elect to refrain from obtaining such reimbursement for some or all such portion of the Nonrecoverable Advance during the one-month Prepayment Period ending on the then-current Determination Date, for successive one-month periods for a total not to exceed 12 months; provided that any deferral in excess of 6 months shall be subject to the consent of the Controlling Class Representative (unless a Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, in which case the Controlling Class Representative shall be consulted with unless a Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing). If the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee makes such an election in its sole discretion to defer reimbursement with respect to all or a portion of a Nonrecoverable Advance (together with interest thereon), then such Nonrecoverable Advance (together with interest thereon) or portion thereof shall continue to be fully reimbursable in the subsequent Collection Period (subject, again, to the same sole discretion option to defer; it is acknowledged that, in such a subsequent period, such Nonrecoverable Advance shall again be reimbursable pursuant to Section 3.06(a)(ii)(B) of this Agreement). In connection with a potential election by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee to refrain from the reimbursement of a particular Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof during the one-month Prepayment Period ending on the related Determination Date for any Distribution Date, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee shall further be authorized to wait for principal collections to be received before making its determination of whether to refrain from the reimbursement of a particular Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof) until the end of such Prepayment Period; provided, however, that if, at any time the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, determines that the reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance during a one-month Prepayment Period will exceed the full amount of the principal portion of general collections deposited in the Collection Account for such Distribution Date, then the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall, through a posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 11.13 of this Agreement, give the Rating Agencies at least 15 days’ notice prior to any reimbursement to it of Nonrecoverable Advances from amounts in the Collection Account allocable to interest on the Mortgage Loans unless (1) the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, determines in its sole discretion that waiting 15 days after such a notice could jeopardize the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s or the Trustee’s, as applicable, ability to recover such Nonrecoverable Advances, (2) changed circumstances or new or different information becomes known to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, that could affect or cause a determination of whether any Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, whether to defer reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance or the determination in clause (1) above, or (3) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, has not timely received from the Trustee information requested by the Master Servicer to consider in determining whether to defer reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance; provided that, if clause (1), (2) or (3) apply, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall, through a posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 11.13 of this Agreement, give Rating Agencies notice of an anticipated reimbursement to it of Nonrecoverable Advances from amounts in the Collection Account allocable to interest on the Mortgage Loans as soon as reasonably practicable in such circumstances. Subject to Section 11.13 of this Agreement, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall have no liability for any loss, liability or expense resulting from any notice provided to Rating Agencies contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence. Any election by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer

 

-227-
 

 

or the Trustee to refrain from reimbursing itself for any Nonrecoverable Advance (together with interest thereon) or portion thereof with respect to any Collection Period shall not be construed to impose on the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee any obligation to make such an election (or any entitlement in favor of any Certificateholder or any other Person to such an election) with respect to any subsequent Collection Period or to constitute a waiver or limitation on the right of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee to otherwise be reimbursed for such Nonrecoverable Advance immediately (together with interest thereon). Any such election by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee shall not be construed to impose any duty on the other such party to make such an election (or any entitlement in favor of any Certificateholder or any other Person to such an election). Any such election by any such party to refrain from reimbursing itself or obtaining reimbursement for any Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof with respect to any one or more Prepayment Periods shall not limit the accrual of interest on such Nonrecoverable Advance for the period prior to the actual reimbursement of such Nonrecoverable Advance. None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the other parties to this Agreement will have any liability to one another or to any of the Certificateholders for any such election that such party makes to refrain or not to refrain from reimbursing itself as contemplated by this paragraph or for any losses, damages or other adverse economic or other effects that may arise from such an election nor will such election constitute a violation of the Servicing Standard or any duty under this Agreement. The Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s or the Trustee’s, as applicable, election, if any, to defer reimbursement of such Nonrecoverable Advances as set forth above is an accommodation to the Certificateholders and shall not be construed as an obligation on the part of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, or a right of the Certificateholders. Nothing herein shall give the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee the right to defer reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance if there are principal collections then available in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.06 of this Agreement or to defer reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance for an aggregate period exceeding 12 months.

 

(b)          If the Master Servicer is required to make a Property Advance, but does not do so within 15 days after the Property Advance is required to be made, then the Trustee will be required: (i) if a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge of the failure, to give the Master Servicer notice of its failure; and (ii) if the failure continues for three more Business Days, to make the Property Advance unless the Trustee determines such Property Advance to be a Nonrecoverable Advance.

 

Section 3.27     Companion Loan Co-Lender Matters.

 

(a)          If, pursuant to Section 2.03, Section 3.17 or Section 9.01 of this Agreement, any Mortgage Loan that relates to a Serviced Whole Loan is purchased from, repurchased from or substituted out of, the Trust Fund, the subsequent holder thereof shall be bound by the terms of the Co-Lender Agreement and shall assume the rights and obligations of the holder of the note(s) that represent the related Mortgage Loan under such Co-Lender Agreement. All portions of the related Mortgage File and (to the extent provided under the related Loan Purchase Agreement) other documents pertaining to such Mortgage Loan shall be endorsed or assigned to the extent necessary or appropriate to the purchaser of such Mortgage Loan in its capacity as the holder of the Note(s) that represent the related Mortgage Loan (as a result of such purchase, repurchase or substitution) and (except for the actual Note(s)) on behalf

 

-228-
 

 

of the holder of the Note(s) that represent the Companion Loan. Thereafter, such Mortgage File shall be held by the holder of the Note(s) that represent the related Mortgage Loan or a custodian appointed thereby for the benefit thereof, on behalf of itself and the holder of the related Companion Loan as their interests appear under the Co-Lender Agreement. If the related Servicing File is not already in the possession of such party, it shall be delivered to the master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, under any separate servicing agreement for the Whole Loans.

 

(b)          With respect to each Companion Loan that is part of a Serviced Whole Loan, notwithstanding any rights the Operating Advisor or the Controlling Class Representative hereunder may have to consult with respect to any action or other matter with respect to the servicing of such Companion Loan, to the extent the related Co-Lender Agreement provides that such right is exercisable by the related Companion Loan Holder or is exercisable in conjunction with any related Companion Loan Holder or its Companion Loan Holder Representative, then (i) neither the Operating Advisor nor the Controlling Class Representative shall be permitted to exercise such right or, (ii) to the extent provided in the related Co-Lender Agreement, the Operating Advisor or the Controlling Class Representative, as applicable, shall be required to exercise such right in conjunction with any related Companion Loan Holder or its Companion Loan Holder Representative, as applicable. Additionally, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary but subject to Section 3.17(p) (as to consent rights) and Section 3.27(d) below (as to consultation rights), the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall consult with, seek the approval of, or obtain the consent of the holder of any Companion Loan or its Companion Loan Holder Representative with respect to any matters with respect to the servicing of such Companion Loan to the extent required under related Co-Lender Agreement and shall not take such actions requiring consent of or consultation with the Companion Loan Holder or its Companion Loan Holder Representative without such consent or consultation. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall deliver reports and notices to the Companion Loan Holder as required under the Co-Lender Agreement.

 

(c)          With respect to each Serviced Whole Loan, the Master Servicer shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, on an ongoing basis a statement setting forth, to the extent applicable to such Serviced Whole Loan:

Servicer’s performance of its duties as they relate to the resolution or liquidation of Specially Serviced Loans, taking into account the Special Servicer’s specific duties under this Agreement 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 the items required to be reviewed by it pursuant to this Agreement.

 

Subject to the restrictions in this Agreement, including, without limitation, this Section 3.28, each such Operating Advisor Annual Report shall (A) identify any material deviations (i) from the Servicing Standard and (ii) from the Special Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement with respect to the resolution or liquidation of Specially Serviced Loans, (B) comply with all of the confidentiality requirements regarding Privileged Information applicable to the Operating Advisor described in this Agreement and, (C) in the event a lack of access to Privileged Information limits or prohibits the Operating Advisor from performing its duties under this Agreement, the Operating Advisor shall describe any such limitations in the Operating Advisor Annual Report, and the Operating Advisor shall not be subject to any liability arising from its lack of access to Privileged Information. Such Operating Advisor Annual Report shall be delivered to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider and the Depositor, and the Certificate Administrator and the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider shall promptly, upon receipt, post such Operating Advisor Annual Report on the Certificate Administrator’s Website and the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website, respectively; provided, however, that the Operating Advisor shall deliver to (a) the Special Servicer, (b) for so long as a Consultation Termination Event does not exist, the Controlling Class Representative, (c) with respect to the Charles River Plaza North Whole Loan, the Charles River Plaza North Directing Holder (for so long as the holder of the Charles River Plaza North Subordinate Companion Loan is the Charles River Plaza North Directing Holder) and (d) with respect to the WPC Department Store Portfolio Whole Loan, the WPC Department Store Portfolio Directing Holder any annual report produced by the Operating Advisor at least ten (10) calendar days prior to its delivery to the Depositor, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator.

calculations but may not opine on, or otherwise call into question such Appraisal Reduction Amount and/or net present value calculations; provided, however, that if the Operating Advisor discovers a mathematical error contained in such calculations, then the Operating Advisor shall notify the Special Servicer and the Controlling Class Representative of such error.

 

(f)          After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, after the calculation but prior to the utilization by the Special Servicer of any of the calculations related to (i) Appraisal Reduction Amounts or (ii) net present value used in the Special Servicer’s determination of the course of action to be taken in connection with the workout or liquidation of a Specially Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer shall forward such calculations, together with any supporting material or additional information necessary in support thereof (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 promptly, but in any event no later than two (2) Business Days after preparing such calculations, and the Operating Advisor shall promptly, but no later than three (3) Business Days after receipt of such calculations and any supporting or additional materials, recalculate and verify 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 any such calculation.

 

In connection with this Section 3.28, in the event the Operating Advisor does not agree with the mathematical calculations or the application of the applicable non-discretionary portions of the formulas required to be utilized for such calculation, the Operating Advisor and the Special Servicer shall consult with each other in order to resolve any inaccuracy in the mathematical calculations or the application of the non-discretionary portions of the related formulas in arriving at those mathematical calculations or any disagreement within five (5) Business Days of delivery of such calculations to the Operating Advisor. In the event the Operating Advisor and Special Servicer are not able to resolve such inaccuracies or disagreement prior to the end of such five (5) Business Day period, the Operating Advisor shall promptly notify the Certificate Administrator of such disagreement and the Certificate Administrator shall determine which calculation is to apply. In making such determination, the Certificate Administrator may hire an independent third-party to assist with any such calculation at the expense of the Trust Fund. The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such third-party calculation.

 

(g)          After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Special Servicer shall consult (on a non-binding basis) with the Operating Advisor in connection with any Major Decision and consider alternative actions recommended by the Operating Advisor, but only to the extent consultation with, or consent of, the Controlling Class Representative would have been required prior to the occurrence and continuance of such Control Termination Event. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of the Charles River Plaza North Whole Loan, for so long as the holder of the Charles River Plaza North Subordinate Companion Loan is the Charles River Plaza North Directing Holder, and in the case of the WPC Department Store Portfolio Whole Loan, the Operating Advisor shall not have any of the above described consultation or other rights with respect the Charles River Plaza North Whole Loan or the WPC Department Store Portfolio Whole Loan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Operating Advisor will be permitted to share Privileged Information with its affiliates and any subcontractors of the Operating Advisor that agree in writing to be bound by the same confidentiality provisions applicable to the Operating Advisor. Each party to this Agreement that receives Privileged Information from the Operating Advisor with a notice stating that such information is Privileged Information shall not disclose such Privileged Information to any Person without the prior written consent of the Special Servicer, the Charles River Plaza North Directing Holder (with respect to the Charles River Plaza North Whole Loan for so long as the holder of the Charles River Plaza North Subordinate Companion Loan is the Charles River Plaza North Directing Holder) and, unless a Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Controlling Class Representative (with respect to any Mortgage Loan other than (a) the Charles River Plaza North Mortgage Loan for so long as the holder of the Charles River Plaza North Subordinate Companion Loan is the Charles River Plaza North Directing Holder or (b) any Non-Serviced Whole Loan) other than pursuant to a Privileged Information Exception.

When the Operating Advisor has consultation rights with respect to a Major Decision under this Agreement, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect the applicable Operating Advisor Consulting Fee from the related Mortgagor in connection with such Major Decision, but only to the extent not prohibited by the Mortgage Loan Documents. The Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, may waive or reduce the amount of any Operating Advisor Consulting Fee payable by the related Mortgagor if it determines that such full or partial waiver is in accordance with the Servicing Standard, but in no event shall the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer take any enforcement action with respect to the collection of such Operating Advisor Consulting Fee other than requests for collection; provided that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall consult with the Operating Advisor prior to any such waiver or reduction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Operating Advisor, as and to the extent set forth herein, shall have limited obligations or consultation rights with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Serviced Whole Loan as of the Closing Date or any related REO Property and the WPC Department Store Portfolio Whole Loan, and in each case, no Operating Advisor Consulting Fee shall be payable with respect thereto.

The Special Servicer may (with the consent of the Controlling Class Representative prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event or after consultation with the Controlling Class Representative prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event) waive any timing or delivery requirements related to such sale to the extent set forth in the related Co-Lender Agreement.

-242-
 

 

and/or defend any action brought by a Mortgagor, guarantor, other obligor on the related Note or any affiliates thereof (each a “Borrower-Related Party”) against the Trust (including, without limitation, any action in which both the Trust and the Master Servicer are named), and/or the Special Servicer or any predecessor master servicer or special servicer, and represent the interests of the Trust in any litigation relating to the rights of the Trust, or of the Mortgagor or other Borrower-Related Party under the related Mortgage Loan documents or with respect to a Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable, the related Mortgaged Property or other collateral securing such Mortgage Loan or such Serviced Whole Loan, or otherwise with respect to the enforcement of the obligations of a Borrower-Related Party under the related Mortgage Loan documents (“Loan-Related Litigation”). In the event that the Master Servicer is named in any Loan-Related Litigation but the Special Servicer is not named in such Loan-Related Litigation (and regardless of whether the Trust is named in such Loan-Related Litigation), the Master Servicer shall notify the Special Servicer of such litigation as soon as reasonably practicable but in any event no later than within ten (10) Business Days of the Master Servicer receiving service of such Loan-Related Litigation.

 

(b)           To the extent the Master Servicer is named in Loan-Related Litigation, and neither the Trust nor the Special Servicer is named, in order to effectuate the role of the Special Servicer as contemplated by the immediately preceding paragraph, the Master Servicer shall (i) provide quarterly (unless requested in writing from time to time on a more frequent basis) status reports to the Special Servicer, regarding such Loan-Related Litigation; (ii) use reasonable efforts to have the Trust replace the Master Servicer as the appropriate party to the lawsuit; and (iii) so long as the Master Servicer remains a party to the lawsuit, consult with and act at the direction of the Special Servicer with respect to material decisions and material monetary settlements related to the interests of the Trust in such Loan-Related Litigation, including but not limited to the selection of counsel. If and/or once the Trust and/or the Special Servicer are named, the Special Servicer shall assume control of the Loan-Related Litigation as provided in Section 3.32(a) above, the Master Servicer shall no longer have the reporting obligations set forth above and the Special Servicer’s selection of counsel shall be subject to the consent of the Master Servicer which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Further, if there are claims against the Master Servicer, the Trust, and the Special Servicer, each party at the request of the other shall enter into a joint defense agreement in accordance with Section 3.32(h) below.

 

(c)           The Special Servicer shall not (i) undertake (or direct the Master Servicer to undertake) any material settlement of any Loan-Related Litigation or (ii) initiate any material Loan-Related Litigation unless and until it has notified in writing the Controlling Class Representative (for so long as no Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing and to the extent the identity of the Controlling Class Representative is actually known to the Special Servicer; provided that the Special Servicer shall make due inquiry of the Certificate Administrator as to the identity of the Controlling Class Representative), and the related holder of any Companion Loan (if such matter affects a Serviced Companion Loan and to the extent the identity of the holder of such Serviced Companion Loan is actually known to the Special Servicer), and the Controlling Class Representative (for so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing) has not objected in writing within five (5) Business Days of having been notified thereof and having been provided with all information that the Controlling Class Representative has reasonably requested with respect thereto promptly following its receipt

 

-243-
 

 

of the subject notice (it being understood and agreed that if such written objection has not been received by the Special Servicer within such 5 Business Day period, then the Controlling Class Representative shall be deemed to have approved the taking of such action); provided that, if the Special Servicer determines (consistent with the Servicing Standard) that immediate action is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders and, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan, the related Companion Loan Holders, the Special Servicer may take such action without waiting for the Controlling Class Representative’s response.

 

(d)           Notwithstanding Section 3.32(c) above, neither of the Special Servicer nor the Master Servicer shall follow any advice, direction or consultation provided by the Controlling Class Representative that would require or cause the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, to violate any applicable law, be inconsistent with the Servicing Standard, require or cause the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, to violate provisions of this Agreement, require or cause the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, to violate the terms of any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, expose any Certificateholder or any party to this Agreement or their Affiliates, officers, directors or agents to any claim, suit or liability, cause any Trust REMIC created hereunder to fail to qualify as a REMIC, or any Grantor Trust created hereunder to fail to qualify as a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes or result in the imposition of a “prohibited transaction” or “prohibited contribution” tax under the REMIC Provisions, or materially expand the scope of the Special Servicer’s, the Master Servicer’s, the Certificate Administrator’s or the Trustee’s, as applicable, responsibilities under this Agreement.

 

(e)           Notwithstanding the right of the Special Servicer provided in this Section to represent the interests of the Trust in Loan-Related Litigation, the Master Servicer shall retain the right at all times to make determinations in the Master Servicer’s sole discretion, relating to material and direct claims against the Master Servicer where a settlement by the Special Servicer has not otherwise been resolved pursuant to the terms of clause (g) below, including but not limited to the right to engage separate counsel, to make settlement decisions and to appear in any proceeding on its own behalf. The cost related to or incurred in connection with exercising such rights shall be subject to indemnification as and to the extent provided in this Agreement.

 

(f)            Further, nothing in this Section 3.32 shall require the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or any other party to this Agreement to take or fail to take any action which, in such party’s reasonable judgment, may result in a violation of the REMIC Provisions, Grantor Trust Provisions, subject the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or other such party to liability, or materially expand the scope of the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer or such party’s obligations under this Agreement.

 

(g)           In the event where the Master Servicer or Special Servicer is a named party neither the Special Servicer nor the Master Servicer will settle on behalf of the other such party, any Loan-Related Litigation without such other party’s consent unless: (i) such settlement does not contain or require any admission of liability, wrongdoing or consent to injunctive relief on the part of such other party and such other party is fully released, (ii) the cost of such settlement or any resulting judgment is and shall be paid by the Trust and payment of such cost or judgment is provided for in this Agreement, (iii) such other party is and shall be indemnified as and to the extent provided in this Agreement for all costs and expenses incurred in defending

 

-244-
 

 

and settling the Loan-Related Litigation and for any judgment, (iv) any such action taken by the Master Servicer at the direction of the Special Servicer shall be deemed (as to the Master Servicer) to be in compliance with the Servicing Standard and (v) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, provides such other party with assurance reasonably satisfactory to such other party, as to the items in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv).

 

(h)           In the event both the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer or the Trust are named in Loan-Related Litigation, to the extent that the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer deem it appropriate, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall (i) use reasonable efforts to enter into a joint defense agreement and (ii) otherwise cooperate with each other to afford the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer the rights afforded to such party in this Section 3.32.

 

(i)            This Section 3.32 shall not apply in the event the Special Servicer authorizes the Master Servicer, and the Master Servicer agrees (both authority and agreement to be in writing), to make certain decisions or control certain Loan-Related Litigation on behalf of the Trust in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

 

(j)            Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to the requirements of the second sentence in the second paragraph of Section 3.01(a) of this Agreement, (i) in the event that any action, suit, litigation or proceeding names the Trustee, Certificate Administrator or Custodian, in its respective individual capacity, or in the event that any judgment is rendered against the Trustee, Certificate Administrator or Custodian, as applicable, in its individual capacity, the Trustee, Certificate Administrator or Custodian, as applicable, upon prior written notice to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may retain counsel and appear in any such proceeding on its own behalf in order to protect and represent its interests (but not to otherwise direct, manage or prosecute such litigation or claim); (ii) in the event of any action, suit, litigation or proceeding, other than an action, suit, litigation or proceeding relating to the enforcement of the obligations of a Mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor under the related Mortgage Loan documents, or otherwise relating to one or more Mortgage Loans or Mortgaged Properties, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall, without the prior written consent of the Trustee, Certificate Administrator or Custodian, as applicable, (A) initiate an action, suit, litigation or proceeding in the name of the Trustee, Certificate Administrator or Custodian, as applicable, whether in such capacity or individually, (B) engage counsel to represent the Trustee, Certificate Administrator or Custodian, as applicable, (C) settle any claim giving rise to liability to the Trustee, Certificate Administrator or Custodian, as applicable, in its individual capacity, or (D) prepare, execute or deliver any government filings, forms, permits, registrations or other documents or take any other similar actions with the intent to cause, and that actually causes, the Trustee, Certificate Administrator or Custodian, as applicable, to be registered to do business in any state (provided that neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be responsible for any delay due to the unwillingness of the Trustee, Certificate Administrator or Custodian to grant such consent); and (iii) in the event that any court finds that the Trustee, Certificate Administrator or Custodian, as applicable, is a necessary party in respect of any action, suit, litigation or proceeding relating to or arising from this Agreement or any Mortgage Loan, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Custodian, as applicable, shall have the right to retain counsel and appear in any such proceeding on its own behalf in order to protect and represent its interests, whether as Trustee, Certificate Administrator or Custodian, as

applicable, or individually (but not to otherwise direct, manage or prosecute such litigation or claim); provided, however, nothing in this subsection shall be interpreted to preclude the Special Servicer (with respect to any material Loan-Related Litigation, with the consent or consultation of the Controlling Class Representative prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event or Consultation Termination Event, respectively) from initiating any action, suit, litigation or proceeding in its name as representative of the Trust.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Section 3.32, this Section 3.32 shall not apply to any Loan-Related Litigation and shall have no force and effect with respect thereto, in the event that either (i) at the time such Loan-Related Litigation is commenced or at any time during the continuance of such Loan-Related Litigation, Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC is no longer the Special Servicer with respect to the related Mortgage Loan or related Whole Loan or has received notice of its replacement as Special Servicer with respect to the related Mortgage Loan or related Whole Loan whether or not such replacement is effective or (ii) the Depositor, any Sponsor, any Mortgage Loan Seller, any Initial Purchaser, or any of their respective affiliates is an adverse party (with respect to the Trust or the Special Servicer) to such Loan-Related Litigation or holds any interest which is adverse to the Trust or the Special Servicer in the related Mortgage Loan or related Whole Loan (or any portion thereof) or the related Mortgaged Property to which Loan-Related Litigation relates, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by each of the Depositor, Sponsor, Mortgage Loan Seller, Initial Purchaser, or affiliate that is such a party or holds such interest, and in each case under clauses (i) and (ii) above, the applicable party listed above shall provide notice of such occurrence to the Master Servicer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. For the further avoidance of doubt, in such circumstance described in this paragraph, the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer relating to litigation shall be as otherwise set forth in this Agreement.

have been made in respect of all the Components of such Class, pro rata in accordance with the respective amounts of interest that would be payable on such Components on such Distribution Date based on one-twelfth of the Class X Strip Rate of such Component multiplied by its respective Component Notional Amount, reduced by its share of any Excess Prepayment Interest Shortfall for such Distribution Date, together with any amounts thereof remaining unpaid from previous Distribution Dates.

 

(c)           (i)  On any Distribution Date, any Yield Maintenance Charge collected on the Mortgage Loans as of the related Determination Date shall be distributed to Holders of the Classes of Certificates as follows: (a) pro rata, between (i) the group (the “YM Group A”) of Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-SB, Class X-A and Class A-S Certificates, pro rata, and (ii) the group (the “YM Group B” and collectively with the YM Group A, the “YM Groups”) of Class X-B, Class X-D, Class B, Class C and Class D Certificates, based upon the aggregate amount of principal distributed to the Classes of Principal Balance Certificates in each YM Group on such Distribution Date; and (b) as among the respective Classes of Certificates in each YM Group in the following manner: (1) each Class of Principal Balance Certificates in such YM Group will be entitled to receive on each Distribution Date the portion of such Yield Maintenance Charge in an amount equal to the product of (x) a fraction whose numerator is the amount of principal distributed to such Class of Principal Balance Certificates on such Distribution Date and whose denominator is the total amount of principal distributed to all of the Principal Balance Certificates in such YM Group on such Distribution Date, (y) the Base Interest Fraction for the related Principal Prepayment with respect to such Class of Principal Balance Certificates, and (z) the aggregate amount of such Yield Maintenance Charge allocated to such YM Group and (2) the portion of such Yield Maintenance Charge allocated to such YM Group remaining after such distributions to the applicable Class(es) of Principal Balance Certificates, will be distributed to the Class of Class X Certificates in such YM Group, and in the case of the YM Group B, on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective reductions in their Notional Amounts on such Distribution Date, to the Class X-B and Class X-D Certificates.

 

After the Distribution Date on which the Certificate Principal Balances of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class B, Class C and Class D Certificates have been reduced to zero, all Yield Maintenance Charges collected with respect to the Mortgage Loans will be distributed pro rata to the Holders of the Class X-B Certificates, regardless of whether the notional amount of such Class of Certificates has been reduced to zero.

 

(ii)           Any Yield Maintenance Charge that is to be distributed to the Regular Certificates on any Distribution Date shall be deemed distributed from the Lower-Tier REMIC to the Upper-Tier REMIC in respect of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests then receiving a principal distribution, pro rata, based on the respective amounts of those principal distributions.

 

(d)           On each Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall withdraw amounts from the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account and shall distribute such amounts in the following priority:

 

(i)            first, to the Holders of the Regular Certificates (in the same order as distributions are made pursuant to Section 4.01(b) of this Agreement) up to an amount

 

-251-
 

 

equal to all amounts remaining due and payable on the Regular Certificates in accordance with Section 4.01(b) of this Agreement, and any Realized Loss allocable to such Certificates, after application of the Available Funds for such Distribution Date; and

 

(ii)           second, to the Holders of the Class R Certificates, in accordance with the last sentence of Section 3.05(c) of this Agreement.

 

Amounts paid with respect to the Mortgage Loans from the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account pursuant to the preceding clause (i) shall first be deemed to have been distributed to reimburse the Lower-Tier REMIC in respect of any Realized Losses or other shortfalls allocated to the Upper-Tier REMIC in respect of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests in reimbursement of Realized Losses previously allocated thereto and payment of other amounts due thereon.

 

(e)           On each Distribution Date, following the deemed distributions of principal or in reimbursement of previously allocated Realized Losses made in respect of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(ii), the Lower-Tier Principal Balance of each Lower-Tier Regular Interest (after taking account of such deemed distributions) shall be reduced as a result of Realized Losses to equal the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class of Corresponding Certificates that will be outstanding immediately following such Distribution Date.

 

(f)            The Certificate Principal Balance of each Class of Principal Balance Certificates will be reduced without distribution on any Distribution Date, as a write-off, to the extent of any Realized Loss allocated to such Class of Certificates on such Distribution Date. On each Distribution Date, any Realized Loss for such Distribution Date will be allocated to the following Classes of Regular Certificates in the following order, until the Certificate Principal Balance of each such Class of Certificates is reduced to zero; first, to the Class NR Certificates; second, to the Class F Certificates; third, to the Class E Certificates; fourth, to the Class D Certificates; fifth, to the Class C Certificates; sixth, to the Class B Certificates; seventh, to the Class A-S Certificates; and, finally, pro rata to the (i) Class A-1 Certificates, (ii) Class A-2 Certificates, (iii) Class A-3 Certificates, (iv) Class A-4 Certificates and (v) Class A-SB Certificates based on their respective Certificate Principal Balances. Any amounts recovered in respect of any amounts previously written off as Realized Losses will be distributed to the Classes of Certificates to which Realized Losses have been allocated in order of their seniority and shall be deemed to be distributed to the Corresponding Lower-Tier Regular Interests. 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 Principal Balance of the Class of Certificates in respect of which any such reimbursement is made. To the extent any Nonrecoverable Advances (plus interest thereon) that were reimbursed from principal collections on the Mortgage Loans (including REO Mortgage Loans) and previously resulted in a reduction of the Principal Distribution Amount are subsequently recovered on the related Mortgage Loan or REO Property, then (on the Distribution Date related to the Prepayment Period during which the recovery occurred) the amount of such recovery will be added to the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class or Classes of Regular Certificates (other than the Class X Certificates) that previously were allocated Realized Losses, in the same sequential order as distributions pursuant to Section 4.01(b) of this Agreement, in each case up to the lesser of the

 

-252-
 

 

unallocated portion of such recovery and the amount of the unreimbursed Realized Losses previously allocated to the subject Class of Certificates, and the Interest Shortfall with respect to each affected Class of Regular Certificates for the next Distribution Date will be increased by the amount of interest that would have accrued through the then current Distribution Date if the restored write-down for such Class of Regular Certificates had never been written down (and, to the extent that the Certificate Principal Balance of, and any interest payable on, any Class of Regular Certificates is so increased, an identical increase shall be deemed made to the Lower-Tier Principal Balance of, and any interest payable on, the Corresponding Lower-Tier Regular Interest). If the Certificate Principal Balance of any Class of Regular Certificates (other than the Class X Certificates) (or the Lower-Tier Principal Balance of any Lower-Tier Regular Interest) is so increased, the amount of unreimbursed Realized Losses of such Class of Certificates (or such Lower-Tier Regular Interest, as the case may be) shall be decreased by such amount.

 

The Notional Amount of the Class X-A Certificates will be reduced to reflect reductions of the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-SB and Class A-S Certificates resulting from allocations of Realized Losses. The Notional Amount of the Class X-B Certificates will be reduced to reflect reductions of the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class B Certificates resulting from allocations of Realized Losses. The Notional Amount of the Class X-D Certificates will be reduced to reflect reductions of the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class D Certificates resulting from allocations of Realized Losses. The Notional Amount of the Class X-E Certificates will be reduced to reflect reductions of the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class E Certificates resulting from allocations of Realized Losses. The Notional Amount of the Class X-F Certificates will be reduced to reflect reductions of the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class F Certificates resulting from allocations of Realized Losses. The Notional Amount of the Class X-NR Certificates will be reduced to reflect reductions of the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class NR Certificates resulting from allocations of Realized Losses.

 

(g)           All amounts distributable, or reductions allocable on account of Realized Losses to a Class of Certificates pursuant to this Section 4.01 on each Distribution Date shall be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates in each such Class based on their respective Percentage Interests. Such distributions shall be made on each Distribution Date other than the Termination Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provides the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution. The Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for making all distributions on the Certificates contemplated hereunder.

 

(h)           Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01 with respect to an Anticipated Termination Date, the Certificate Administrator shall, no later than the fifteenth day

 

-253-
 

 

of the month preceding the month in which the final distribution with respect to any Class of Certificates is expected to be made (or, if the Certificate Administrator has not received notice of such Anticipated Termination Date by such time, promptly following the Certificate Administrator’s receipt of such notice), mail to each Holder of such Class of Certificates, on such date a notice to the effect that:

 

(i)            the Certificate Administrator reasonably expects based upon information previously provided to it that the final distribution with respect to such Class of Certificates will be made on such Distribution Date, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificates at the office of the Certificate Administrator therein specified, and

 

(ii)           if such final distribution is made on such Distribution Date, no interest shall accrue on such Class of Certificates, or on the Corresponding Lower-Tier Regular Interest, from and after such Distribution Date;

 

provided, however, that the Class R Certificates shall remain outstanding until there is no other Class of Certificates outstanding.

 

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or Holders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held in trust for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to this Section 4.01(h) shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. If within two years after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Certificate Administrator all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof, and the Certificate Administrator shall thereafter hold such amounts for the benefit of such Holders to the extent permitted by law, until the earlier of (i) its termination as Certificate Administrator hereunder and the transfer of such amounts to a successor Certificate Administrator and (ii) the termination of the Trust Fund and distribution of such amounts to the Class R Certificateholders. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust hereunder or by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with this Section 4.01(h). Any funds not distributed on such Distribution Date shall be set aside and held uninvested in trust for the benefit of Certificateholders not presenting and surrendering their Certificates in the aforesaid manner.

 

(i)            [Reserved]

(j)            The Excess Prepayment Interest Shortfall, if any, for each Distribution Date will be allocated among the various Classes of Regular Certificates, pro rata, based upon the respective Interest Accrual Amounts with respect to such Classes of Regular Certificates for such Distribution Date. The portion of any Excess Prepayment Interest Shortfall for any Distribution Date so allocable to a Class of Class X Certificates shall, in turn, be allocated among the various Components of such Class of Class X Certificates, pro rata, based upon the respective amounts of Accrued Component Interest with respect to such Components for such Distribution Date. The portion of any Excess Prepayment Interest Shortfall for any Distribution Date so allocated to any Class of Principal Balance Certificates or any Component of a Class of Class X Certificates shall be deemed to have first been allocated to the Corresponding Lower-Tier Regular Interest for such Class of Principal Balance Certificates or Component, as applicable.

 

(k)           On each Distribution Date, any Excess Interest received during the related Prepayment Period with respect to the ARD Loans shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class Z Certificates from the Excess Interest Distribution Account.

Section 4.03      Compliance with Withholding Requirements.

 

(a)            Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Paying Agent shall comply with all federal withholding requirements with respect to payments to Certificateholders and other payees of interest or original issue discount that the Paying Agent reasonably believes are applicable under the Code. The consent of Certificateholders or payees shall not be required for any such withholding. In the event the Paying Agent or its agent withholds any amount from interest or original issue discount payments or advances thereof to any Certificateholder or payee pursuant to federal withholding requirements, the Paying Agent shall indicate the amount withheld to such Certificateholder or payee. Any amount so withheld shall be treated as having been distributed to such Person for all purposes of this Agreement.

 

(b)           Each Beneficial Owner and Certificateholder, by the purchase of a Certificate or its acceptance of a beneficial interest therein, acknowledges that interest on the Certificates will be treated as United States source interest, and, as such, United States withholding tax may apply. Each such Beneficial Owner and Certificateholder further agrees, upon request, to provide any certifications that may be required under applicable law, regulations or procedures to evidence its status for United States withholding tax purposes and understands that if it ceases to satisfy the foregoing requirements or provide requested documentation, payments to it under the Certificates may be subject to United States withholding tax (without any corresponding gross-up). Without limiting the foregoing, if a payment made under this Agreement would be subject to United States federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if the

 

-267-
 

 

recipient of such payment were to fail to comply with FATCA (including the requirements of Code Sections 1471(b) or 1472(b), as applicable), such recipient shall deliver to the Paying Agent, with a copy to each of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, at the time or times prescribed by the Code and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Paying Agent or the Trustee, such documentation prescribed by the Code (including as prescribed by Code Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i)) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Paying Agent, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator to comply with their respective obligations under FATCA, to determine that such recipient has complied with such recipient’s obligations under FATCA, or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.

 

Section 4.04      REMIC Compliance.

 

(a)            The parties intend that each Trust REMIC shall constitute, and that the affairs of each Trust REMIC shall be conducted so as to qualify it as, a “real estate mortgage investment conduit” as defined in, and in accordance with, the REMIC Provisions, and the provisions hereof shall be interpreted consistently with this intention. In furtherance of such intention, the Certificate Administrator shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, act as agent, and is hereby appointed to act as agent, of each Trust REMIC and shall on behalf of each Trust REMIC: (i) prepare, timely deliver to the Trustee for execution (and the Trustee shall timely execute) and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, all required Tax Returns for each Trust REMIC, using a calendar year as the taxable year for each Trust REMIC when and as required by the REMIC Provisions and other applicable federal, state or local income tax laws; (ii) make an election, on behalf of each Trust REMIC, to be treated as a REMIC on IRS Form 1066 for its first taxable year ending December 31, 2015, in accordance with the REMIC Provisions; (iii) prepare and forward, or cause to be prepared and forwarded, to the Certificateholders (other than the Holders of the Class Z Certificates) and the IRS and applicable state and local tax authorities all information reports as and when required to be provided to them in accordance with the REMIC Provisions of the Code; (iv) if the filing or distribution of any documents of an administrative nature not addressed in clauses (i) through (iii) of this Section 4.04(a) is then required by the REMIC Provisions in order to maintain the status of each Trust REMIC as a REMIC or is otherwise required by the Code, prepare, sign and file or distribute, or cause to be prepared and signed and filed or distributed, such documents with or to such Persons when and as required by the REMIC Provisions or the Code or comparable provisions of state and local law; (v) obtain a taxpayer identification number for the Upper-Tier REMIC and Lower-Tier REMIC on IRS Form SS-4 and, within thirty days of the Closing Date, furnish or cause to be furnished to the IRS, on IRS Form 8811 or as otherwise may be required by the Code, the name, title and address of the Person that the holders of the Certificates may contact for tax information relating thereto (and the Certificate Administrator shall act as the representative of each Trust REMIC for this purpose), together with such additional information as may be required by such IRS Form, and shall update such information at the time or times and in the manner required by the Code (and the Depositor agrees within 10 Business Days of the Closing Date to provide any information reasonably requested by the Master Servicer or the Certificate Administrator and necessary to make such filing); and (vi) maintain such records relating to each Trust REMIC as may be necessary to prepare the foregoing returns, schedules, statements or information, such records, for federal income tax purposes, to be maintained on a calendar year and on an accrual basis.

 

-268-
 

 

The Holder of the largest Percentage Interest in the Class R Certificates shall be the tax matters person of each Trust REMIC pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.860F-4(d). If more than one Holder should hold an equal Percentage Interest in the Class R Certificates larger than that held by any other Holder, the first such Holder to have acquired such Class R Certificates shall be such tax matters person. The Certificate Administrator shall act as attorney-in-fact and agent for the tax matters person of each Trust REMIC, and each Holder of a Percentage Interest in the Class R Certificates, by acceptance hereof, is deemed to have consented to the Certificate Administrator’s appointment in such capacity and agrees to execute any documents required to give effect thereto, and any fees and expenses incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with any audit or administrative or judicial proceeding shall be paid by the Trust Fund.

 

The Certificate Administrator shall not intentionally take any action or intentionally omit to take any action within its control and the scope of its duties if, in taking or omitting to take such action, the Certificate Administrator knows that such action or omission (as the case may be) would cause the termination of the REMIC status of either Trust REMIC or the imposition of tax on either Trust REMIC (other than a tax on income expressly permitted or contemplated to be received by the terms of this Agreement).

 

Notwithstanding any provision of this paragraph or the three preceding paragraphs to the contrary, the Certificate Administrator shall not be required to take any action that the Certificate Administrator in good faith believes to be inconsistent with any other provision of this Agreement, nor shall the Certificate Administrator be deemed in violation of this paragraph if it takes any action expressly required or authorized by any other provision of this Agreement, and the Certificate Administrator shall have no responsibility or liability with respect to any act or omission of the Depositor or the Master Servicer which does not enable the Certificate Administrator to comply with any of clauses (i) through (vi) of the third preceding paragraph or which results in any action contemplated by clauses (i) through (iii) of the next succeeding sentence. In this regard the Certificate Administrator shall (i) not allow the occurrence of any “prohibited transactions” within the meaning of Code Section 860F(a), unless the party seeking such action shall have delivered to the Certificate Administrator an Opinion of Counsel (at such party’s expense) that such occurrence would not (a) result in a taxable gain, (b) otherwise subject either Trust REMIC to tax (other than a tax at the highest marginal corporate tax rate on net income from foreclosure property), or (c) cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC for federal income tax purposes; (ii) not allow either Trust REMIC to receive income from the performance of services or from assets not permitted under the REMIC Provisions to be held by such Trust REMIC (provided, however, that the receipt of any income expressly permitted or contemplated by the terms of this Agreement shall not be deemed to violate this clause); and (iii) not permit the creation of any “interests,” within the meaning of the REMIC Provisions, in the Upper-Tier REMIC other than the Regular Certificates and the Upper-Tier Residual Interest, or in the Lower-Tier REMIC other than the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and the Lower-Tier Residual Interest. None of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Depositor shall be responsible or liable for any failure by the Certificate Administrator to comply with the provisions of this Section 4.04. The Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall cooperate in a timely manner with the Certificate Administrator in supplying any information within the Depositor’s, the Master Servicer’s or the

 

-269-
 

 

Special Servicer’s control (other than any confidential information) that is reasonably necessary to enable the Certificate Administrator to perform its duties under this Section 4.04.

 

(b)           The following assumptions are to be used for purposes of determining the anticipated payments of principal and interest for calculating the original yield to maturity and original issue discount with respect to the Regular Certificates: (i) each Mortgage Loan will pay principal and interest in accordance with its terms and scheduled payments will be timely received on their Due Dates, provided that the Mortgage Loans in the aggregate will prepay in accordance with the Prepayment Assumption; (ii) none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor and the Class R Certificateholder will exercise the right described in Section 9.01 of this Agreement to cause early termination of the Trust Fund; and (iii) no Mortgage Loan is repurchased or substituted for by the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller pursuant to Article II of this Agreement.

 

Section 4.05      Imposition of Tax on the Trust REMICs. In the event that any tax, including interest, penalties or assessments, additional amounts or additions to tax, is imposed on either Trust REMIC, such tax shall be charged against amounts otherwise distributable to Certificateholders; provided that any taxes imposed on any net income from foreclosure property pursuant to Code Section 860G(d) or any similar tax imposed by a state or local jurisdiction shall instead be treated as an expense of the related REO Property in determining Net REO Proceeds with respect to the REO Property (and until such taxes are paid, the Special Servicer from time to time shall withdraw from the REO Account and transfer to the Certificate Administrator for deposit into the Distribution Accounts amounts reasonably determined by the Certificate Administrator to be necessary to pay such taxes, and the Certificate Administrator shall return to the Special Servicer the excess determined by the Certificate Administrator from time to time of the amount in excess of the amount necessary to pay such taxes); provided that any such tax imposed on net income from foreclosure property that exceeds the amount in any such reserve shall be retained from Available Funds as provided in Section 3.06(a)(vii) of this Agreement and the next sentence. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, the Certificate Administrator is hereby authorized to and shall retain or cause to be retained from the Distribution Account in determining the amount of Available Funds sufficient funds to pay or provide for the payment of, and to actually pay, such tax as is legally owed by either Trust REMIC (but such authorization shall not prevent the Certificate Administrator from contesting, at the expense of the Trust Fund, any such tax in appropriate proceedings, and withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of such proceedings). The Certificate Administrator is hereby authorized to and shall segregate or cause to be segregated, into a separate non-interest bearing account, (i) the net income from any “prohibited transaction” under Code Section 860F(a) or (ii) the amount of any contribution to either Trust REMIC after the Startup Day that is subject to tax under Code Section 860G(d) and use such income or amount, to the extent necessary, to pay such tax (and return the balance thereof, if any, to the related Distribution Account). To the extent that any such tax is paid to the IRS, the Certificate Administrator shall retain an equal amount from future amounts otherwise distributable to the Holders of the Class R Certificates in respect of the related residual interest and shall distribute such retained amounts to the Holders of Regular Certificates or to the Certificate Administrator in respect of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests until they are fully reimbursed and then to the Holders of the Class R Certificates in respect of the related residual interest. None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee shall be responsible for any taxes imposed on either

 

-270-
 

 

Trust REMIC except to the extent such tax is attributable to a breach of a representation or warranty of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee or an act or omission of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee in contravention of this Agreement in both cases, provided, further, that such breach, act or omission could result in liability under Section 6.03, in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, or Section 4.04 or 8.01, in the case of the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in each such case, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall not be responsible for the Certificate Administrator’s, the Authenticating Agent’s, the Certificate Registrar’s, the Paying Agent’s or the Trustee’s breaches, acts or omissions, and the Trustee shall not be responsible for the breaches, acts or omissions of the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Authenticating Agent, the Certificate Registrar or the Paying Agent, and the Certificate Administrator shall not be responsible for the breaches, acts or omissions of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and, in each case if a different entity than the Certificate Administrator, the Authenticating Agent, the Certificate Registrar or the Paying Agent.

 

Section 4.06      Remittances; P&I Advances.

 

(a)            On the Master Servicer Remittance Date immediately preceding each Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall:

 

(i)            remit to the Certificate Administrator for deposit in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account an amount equal to the Yield Maintenance Charges applicable to the Mortgage Loans (but not a Companion Loan) received by the Master Servicer in the Prepayment Period relating to such Distribution Date (or, in the case of a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, received by the Master Servicer as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Master Servicer Remittance Date and not previously so remitted to the Certificate Administrator);

 

(ii)            remit to the Certificate Administrator for deposit in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account an amount equal to the Available Funds applicable to the Mortgage Loans (other than the amounts referred to in clause (iv) below and clause (d) of the definition of “Available Funds”);

 

(iii)           remit to CREFC® the CREFC® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fee;

 

(iv)           make a P&I Advance by remittance to the Certificate Administrator for deposit into the Lower-Tier Distribution Account, in an amount equal to the sum of the Applicable Monthly Payments for each Mortgage Loan (including any REO Mortgage Loan and any Mortgage Loan related to a Whole Loan, but not a Companion Loan) to the extent such amounts were not received on such Mortgage Loan as of the close of business on the immediately preceding Due Date (without regard to any grace period) (and which delinquent payment has not been cured as of the Business Day immediately preceding such Master Servicer Remittance Date), except that the portion of such P&I Advance equal to the CREFC® Intellectual Property Royalty License Fee for each such Mortgage

 

-271-
 

 

Loan shall not be remitted to the Certificate Administrator but shall instead be remitted to CREFC®; and

 

(v)            remit to the Certificate Administrator for deposit in the Excess Interest Distribution Account all Excess Interest for the related Distribution Date then on deposit in the Collection Account after giving effect to withdrawals of funds pursuant to Section 3.06(a)(ii) through Section 3.06(a)(x) of this Agreement.

 

Neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall be required or permitted to make an advance for Balloon Payments, Default Interest, Excess Interest or Yield Maintenance Charges or delinquent monthly payments on any Companion Loan. The amount of interest required to be advanced in respect of payments of delinquent interest on any Mortgage Loan as to which an Appraisal Reduction Amount exists will equal (i) the amount of interest required to be advanced by the Master Servicer without giving effect to such Appraisal Reduction Amount less (ii) an amount equal to the product of (x) the amount otherwise required to be advanced by the Master Servicer with respect to such delinquent payment of interest without giving effect to such Appraisal Reduction Amounts, and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Appraisal Reduction Amount with respect to such Mortgage Loan and the denominator of which is the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan as of the last day of the related Collection Period. Appraisal Reduction Amounts shall not affect the principal portion of any P&I Advances.

 

To the extent required under the related Co-Lender Agreement, if a P&I Advance is made with respect to any Mortgage Loan with a related Serviced Companion Loan, the Master Servicer or Trustee shall notify the Other Master Servicer and the Other Trustee of the amount of P&I Advance made with respect to such Mortgage Loan within two (2) Business Days of making such P&I Advance.

 

Any amount advanced by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 4.06(a)(iv) of this Agreement shall constitute a P&I Advance for all purposes of this Agreement and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement (with interest at the Advance Rate). The Special Servicer shall have no obligation to make any P&I Advance.

 

The Certificate Administrator shall notify the Master Servicer and the Trustee by telephone if as of 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Master Servicer Remittance Date, the Certificate Administrator has not received the amount of a required P&I Advance hereunder. If as of 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Distribution Date the Master Servicer shall not have made the P&I Advance required to have been made on the related Master Servicer Remittance Date pursuant to Section 4.06(a)(iv) of this Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Trustee and the Trustee shall no later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Business Day deposit into the Lower-Tier Distribution Account in immediately available funds an amount equal to the P&I Advances otherwise required to have been made by the Master Servicer.

 

Neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall be permitted to make a P&I Advance as to any Monthly Payment on any date on which a P&I Advance is otherwise required to be made by this Section 4.06 if the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee

 

-272-
 

 

determines that such Advance will be a Nonrecoverable Advance. The determination by any Person with an obligation hereunder to make P&I Advances that it has made (or in the case of a determination by the Special Servicer, that the Master Servicer or the Trustee has made) a Nonrecoverable Advance or the determination by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee that any proposed P&I Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be made by such Person (i) in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, in accordance with the Servicing Standard or (ii) in the case of the Trustee, in accordance with its good faith business judgment, and, shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate as set forth in Section 4.06(b). In making such recoverability determination, such Person will be entitled to consider (among other things) the obligations of the Mortgagor under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or Whole Loan as it may have been modified, to consider (among other things) 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, to estimate and consider (among other things) future expenses and to estimate and consider (among other things) the timing of recoveries. In addition, any such Person may update or change its recoverability determinations at any time (but not reverse any other Person’s determination that an Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance) and may obtain at the expense of the Trust Fund any analysis, Appraisals or market value estimates or other information for such purposes.

 

The determination by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer that a P&I Advance has become a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance, if made pursuant to this Section 4.06 with respect to any Mortgage Loan (or with respect to any successor REO Mortgage Loan with respect to any of the foregoing), would constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, shall be conclusive and binding on the Master Servicer (in the case of such a determination by the Special Servicer) and the Trustee; provided that this sentence shall not be construed to entitle the Special Servicer to reverse any other authorized Person’s determination, or to prohibit any such other authorized Person from making a determination, that a P&I Advance constitutes or would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. If the Master Servicer has failed to make a P&I Advance for reasons other than a determination by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer that such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Trustee shall make such advance within the time periods required by this Section 4.06 unless the Trustee, in its good faith business judgment, makes a determination prior to the times specified in this Section 4.06 that such advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance.

 

The Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to the reimbursement of P&I Advances it makes (together with interest thereon) to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 3.06(a)(ii) of this Agreement and each of the Master Servicer and Special Servicer hereby covenants and agrees to promptly seek and effect the reimbursement of such Advances from the related Mortgagors to the extent permitted by applicable law and the related Mortgage Loan.

 

With respect to P&I Advances and each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the “appraisal reduction amount” calculated by the related Other Special Servicer or the related Other Master Servicer in accordance with the terms of the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

(b)            The determination by the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Special Servicer that a P&I Advance has become a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance, if made pursuant to this Section 4.06 with respect to any Mortgage Loan (or with respect to any successor REO Mortgage Loan with respect to any of the foregoing), would constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered on or prior to the next Master Servicer Remittance Date to the Trustee (unless it is the Person making the determination), the Controlling Class Representative (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event), the Master Servicer (unless it is the Person making the determination), the Special Servicer (unless it is the Person making the determination) and, if the Trustee is making the determination, the Depositor, setting forth the basis for such determination, together with any other information that supports such determination together with a copy of any Appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property, as the case may be (which Appraisal shall be an expense of the Trust, shall take into account any material change in circumstances of which such Person is aware or such Person has received new information, either of which has a material effect on the value and shall have been conducted in accordance with the standards of the Appraisal Institute within the twelve (12) months preceding such determination of nonrecoverability), and further accompanied by related Mortgagor operating statements and financial statements, budgets and rent rolls of the related Mortgaged Property (to the extent available and/or in such Person’s possession) and any engineers’ reports, environmental surveys or similar reports that such Person may have obtained and that support such determination. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall consider Unliquidated Advances with respect to prior P&I Advances for the purpose of nonrecoverability determinations as if such amounts were unreimbursed P&I Advances.

 

With respect to each Whole Loan, if the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Trustee has determined that a P&I Advance with respect to such Mortgage Loan, would be or has become a Nonrecoverable Advance, the Master Servicer shall provide each Other Master Servicer, Other Special Servicer and Other Trustee written notice of such determination together with such reports that the Master Servicer delivered to the Special Servicer or Trustee in connection with notification of its determination of nonrecoverability within the time period required by the related Co-Lender Agreement.

 

(c)            With respect to each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, if (1) the related Other Master Servicer has determined that a proposed P&I Advance (as defined in the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement) with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, if made, or any outstanding P&I advance previously made, would be, or is, as applicable, a “nonrecoverable advance,” and the related Other Master Servicer has provided written notice of such determination to the Master Servicer, or (2) if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer has determined that a P&I Advance with respect to a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan would be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, then neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall make any additional P&I Advance with respect to such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan until the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, has consulted with the related Other Master Servicer under the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement and they agree that circumstances with respect to such Mortgage Loans have changed such that a proposed future P&I Advance would not be a “nonrecoverable advance.”

 

-274-
 

 

In connection with any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, any determination by the Master Servicer for such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan that any P&I Advance made or to be made with respect to such Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan (or any successor REO Mortgage Loan with respect thereto) is or, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance may be made independently from any determinations (or the absence of any determinations) made by the related Companion Loan Holder regarding nonrecoverability of debt service advances on the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan.

 

(d)            If the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer has received written notice from Moody’s, Fitch, KBRA or Morningstar to the effect that continuation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in such capacity would result in the downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of any rating then assigned by Moody’s, Fitch, KBRA or Morningstar, as applicable, to any Class of Certificates and citing servicing concerns with such Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, as the sole or material factor in such rating action, and such notice is not rescinded within 60 days, then the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall promptly notify the other such parties and the Certificate Administrator, and the Certificate Administrator shall promptly notify the applicable Companion Loan Holder and the applicable master servicer of any Companion Loan.

 

Section 4.07      Grantor Trust Reporting.

 

(a)            The Certificate Administrator shall maintain adequate books and records to account for the separate entitlements of the Grantor Trust.

 

(b)           The parties intend that the Grantor Trust shall be treated as a “grantor trust” under the Code, and the provisions thereof shall be interpreted consistently with this intention. In furtherance of such intention, none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicers, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall vary the assets of the Grantor Trust so as to take advantage of market fluctuations or so as to improve the rate of return of the Class Z Certificates, and shall otherwise comply with Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-4(c). Within 30 days of the Closing Date, the Certificate Administrator shall obtain a taxpayer identification number for the Grantor Trust on IRS Form SS-4. The Certificate Administrator shall file or cause to be filed with the IRS Form 1041, Form 1099 or such other form as may be applicable and shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Holders of the Class Z Certificates, the Excess Interest and the Excess Interest Distribution Account and proceeds thereof, as such amounts are received or accrue, as applicable.

 

(c)            (i) The Grantor Trust is a WHFIT that is a WHMT. The Certificate Administrator shall report as required under the WHFIT Regulations to the extent such information as is reasonably necessary to enable the Certificate Administrator to do so is provided to the Certificate Administrator on a timely basis. The Certificate Administrator is hereby directed to assume that DTC is the only “middleman” as defined by the WHFIT Regulations unless it has actual knowledge to the contrary or the Depositor provides the Certificate Administrator with the identities of the other “middlemen” that are Certificateholders. The Certificate Administrator will not be liable for any tax reporting penalties that may arise under the WHFIT Regulations in the event that the IRS makes a determination that is contrary to the first sentence of this paragraph.

-275-
 

 

  (ii)           The Certificate Administrator, in its discretion, shall report required WHFIT information using either the cash or accrual method, except to the extent the WHFIT Regulations specifically require a different method. The Certificate Administrator shall be under no obligation to determine whether any Certificateholder uses the cash or accrual method. The Certificate Administrator shall make available (via the Certificate Administrator’s Website) WHFIT information to Certificateholders annually. In addition, the Certificate Administrator shall not be responsible or liable for providing subsequently amended, revised or updated information to any Certificateholder, unless requested by the Certificateholder.

 

  (iii)          The Certificate Administrator shall not be liable for failure to meet the reporting requirements of the WHFIT Regulations nor for any penalties thereunder if such failure is due to: (i) the lack of reasonably necessary information being provided to the Certificate Administrator or (ii) incomplete, inaccurate or untimely information being provided to the Certificate Administrator. Each owner of a class of securities representing, in whole or in part, beneficial ownership of an interest in a WHFIT, by acceptance of its interest in such class of securities, will be deemed to have agreed to provide the Certificate Administrator with information regarding any sale of such securities, including the price, amount of proceeds and date of sale. Absent receipt of information regarding any sale of Certificates, including the price, amount of proceeds and date of sale from the beneficial owner thereof or the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator shall assume there is no secondary market trading of WHFIT interests.

 

(d)           To the extent required by the WHFIT Regulations, the Certificate Administrator shall use reasonable efforts to publish on the Certificate Administrator’s Website the CUSIPs for the Certificates that represent ownership of a WHFIT. The CUSIPs so published will represent the Rule 144A CUSIPs. The Certificate Administrator shall make reasonable good faith efforts to keep the website accurate and updated to the extent CUSIPs have been received. Absent the receipt of a CUSIP, the Certificate Administrator will use a reasonable identifier number in lieu of a CUSIP. The Certificate Administrator shall not be liable for investor reporting delays that result from the receipt of inaccurate or untimely CUSIP information.

If the initial Certificate Principal Balance or initial Notional Amount, as applicable, of any Class of Regular Certificates does not equal an integral multiple of $1, then a single additional Certificate of such Class may be issued in a minimum denomination of authorized initial Certificate Principal Balance or initial Notional Amount, as applicable, that includes the excess of (i) the initial Certificate Principal Balance or initial Notional Amount, as applicable, of such Class over (ii) the largest integral multiple of $1 that does not exceed such amount. The Class Z and Class R Certificates shall be issued, maintained and transferred in minimum percentage interests of 10% of such Class Z and Class R Certificates and in integral multiples of 1% in excess thereof.

 

(b)           One authorized signatory shall sign the Certificates for the Certificate Administrator by manual or fax signature. If an authorized signatory whose signature is on a Certificate no longer holds that office at the time the Certificate Administrator countersigns the Certificate, the Certificate shall be valid nevertheless. A Certificate shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Certificate Administrator (who may be the same officer who executed the Certificate) manually countersigns the Certificate. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Certificate has been executed and countersigned under this Agreement.

 

Section 5.02      Form and Registration.

 

(a)           Each Class of Public Certificates shall be represented by a single, global certificate in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons, substantially in the applicable form set forth as an exhibit hereto, which shall be deposited with the Certificate Registrar or an agent of the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for the Depository, and registered in the name of the Depository or a nominee of the Depository. The aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of a Global Certificate may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for the Depository, as hereinafter provided.

 

-277-
 

 

(b)           Unless and until Definitive Certificates are issued in respect of a Class of Global Certificates, beneficial ownership interests in such Certificates will be maintained and transferred on the book-entry records of the Depository and Depository Participants, and all references to actions by Holders of such Class of Certificates will refer to action taken by the Depository upon instructions received from the related registered Holders of Certificates through the Depository Participants in accordance with the Depository’s procedures and, except as otherwise set forth herein, all references herein to payments, notices, reports and statements to Holders of such Class of Certificates will refer to payments, notices, reports and statements to the Depository or its nominee as the registered Holder thereof, for distribution to the related registered Holders of Certificates through the Depository Participants in accordance with the Depository’s procedures.

 

(c)           No transfer of any Private Certificate shall be made unless that transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, and effective registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws, or is made in a transaction which does not require such registration or qualification. If a transfer is to be made in reliance upon an exemption from the Securities Act, and under the applicable state securities laws, then:

 

(i)           The Certificates of each Class of the Private Certificates (other than the Class Z and Class R Certificates) sold in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act shall initially be represented by a temporary global certificate in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons, substantially in the applicable form set forth as an exhibit hereto (each a “Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate”), which shall be deposited on the Closing Date on behalf of the purchasers of the Private Certificates represented thereby with the Certificate Registrar, at its principal trust office, as custodian, for the Depository, and registered in the name of the Depository or the nominee of the Depository for the account of designated agents holding on behalf of Euroclear and/or Clearstream. Prior to the expiration of the 40-day period commencing on the later of the commencement of the offering and the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), beneficial interests in each Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate may be held only through Euroclear or Clearstream. After the expiration of the Restricted Period, a beneficial interest in a Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate may be exchanged for an interest in the related permanent global certificate of the same Class of Private Certificates (a “Regulation S Global Certificate”) in the applicable form set forth as an exhibit hereto in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 5.03(f) of this Agreement. During the Restricted Period, distributions due in respect of a beneficial interest in a Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate shall only be made upon delivery to the Certificate Registrar by Euroclear or Clearstream, as applicable, of a Non-U.S. Beneficial Ownership Certification. After the expiration of the Restricted Period, distributions due in respect of any beneficial interests in a Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate shall not be made to the holders of such beneficial interests unless exchange for a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Certificate of the same Class is improperly withheld or refused. The aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of a Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate or a Regulation S Global Certificate may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for the Depository, as hereinafter provided.

 

-278-
 

 

  On the Closing Date, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate, and the Certificate Administrator shall deliver to the Certificate Registrar the Regulation S Global Certificates, which shall be held by the Certificate Registrar for purposes of effecting the exchanges contemplated by the preceding paragraph.

 

(ii)           The Certificates of each Class of Private Certificates (other than the Class Z and Class R Certificates) offered and sold to Qualified Institutional Buyers in reliance on Rule 144A shall be represented by a single, global certificate in definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons, substantially in the applicable form set forth as an exhibit hereto (each, a “Rule 144A Global Certificate”), which shall be deposited with the Certificate Registrar or an agent of the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for the Depository, and registered in the name of the Depository or a nominee of the Depository. The aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of a Rule 144A Global Certificate may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Certificate Registrar, as custodian for the Depository, as hereinafter provided.

 

(iii)          The Certificates of each Class of Private Certificates offered and sold in the United States to investors that are Institutional Accredited Investors that are not Qualified Institutional Buyers and the Class Z and the Class R Certificates (collectively, the “Non-Book Entry Certificates”) shall be in the form of Definitive Certificates, substantially in the applicable form set forth as an exhibit hereto, and shall be registered in the name of such investors or their nominees by the Certificate Registrar who shall deliver the certificates for such Non-Book Entry Certificates to the respective beneficial owners or owners.

 

(d)           Owners of beneficial interests in Global Certificates of any Class shall not be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificated Certificates unless: (i) the Depository advises the Certificate Registrar in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities as depository with respect to the Global 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; (ii) the Trustee has instituted or has been directed to institute any judicial proceeding to enforce the rights of the Holders 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; or (iii) in the case of a Private Certificate, all of the applicable requirements of Section 5.03 of this Agreement are satisfied; provided, however, that under no circumstances will certificated Private Certificates be issued to beneficial owners of a Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate. Upon notice of the occurrence of any of the events described in clause (i) or (ii) above with respect to any Certificates of a Class that are in the form of Global Certificates and upon surrender by the Depository of any Global Certificate of such Class and receipt from the Depository of instructions for reregistration, the Certificate Registrar shall issue Certificates of such Class in the form of Definitive Certificates (bearing, in the case of a Definitive Certificate issued for a Rule 144A Global Certificate, the same legends regarding transfer restrictions borne by such Global Certificate), and thereafter the Certificate Registrar shall recognize the holders of such Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders under this Agreement.

 

-279-
 

 

(e)            If any Beneficial Owner wishes to transfer its interest in a Rule 144A Global Certificate to an Institutional Accredited Investor that is not a Qualified Institutional Buyer, or wishes to transfer its interest in a Regulation S Global Certificate to a “U.S. person” (as that term is defined in Rule 902(k) under the Securities Act) that is an Institutional Accredited Investor but not a Qualified Institutional Buyer, then the transferee shall take delivery in the form of a Non-Book Entry Certificate, subject to the restrictions on the transfer of such Non-Book Entry Certificate in Section 5.03(h) of this Agreement. No such transfer shall be made and the Certificate Registrar shall not register any such transfer unless such transfer complies with the provisions of Section 5.03(h) of this Agreement applicable to transfers of Non-Book Entry Certificates. Upon acceptance for exchange or transfer of a beneficial interest in a Global Certificate for a Non-Book Entry Certificate, as provided herein, the Certificate Registrar shall endorse on the schedule affixed to the related Global Certificate (or on a continuation of such schedule affixed to such Global Certificate and made a part thereof) an appropriate notation evidencing the date of such exchange or transfer and a decrease in the denomination of such Global Certificate equal to the denomination of such Non-Book Entry Certificate issued in exchange therefor or upon transfer thereof.

 

Section 5.03      Registration, Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.

 

(a)            The Certificate Administrator shall keep or cause to be kept at its principal offices books (the “Certificate Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Certificate Administrator shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided (the Certificate Administrator, in such capacity, being the “Certificate Registrar”). In such capacities, the Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for, among other things, (i) maintaining the Certificate Register and a record of the aggregate holdings of Certificates of each Class of Private Certificates represented by a Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate, a Regulation S Global Certificate and a Rule 144A Global Certificate and accepting Certificates for exchange and registration of transfer and (ii) transmitting to the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer any notices from the Certificateholders.

Upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, at its office designated in Section 5.11 of this Agreement, of (1) instructions given in accordance with the Depository’s procedures from a Depository Participant directing the Certificate Registrar to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Certificate in an amount equal to the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate to be exchanged, (2) a written order given in accordance with the Depository’s procedures containing information regarding the participant account of the Depository to be credited with such increase and (3) a certificate in the form of Exhibit F to this Agreement given by the holder of such beneficial interest, then the Certificate Registrar shall instruct the Depository to reduce, or cause to be reduced, the Certificate Principal Balance of the Rule 144A Global Certificate and to increase, or cause to be increased, the Certificate Principal Balance of the Regulation S Global Certificate by the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate to be exchanged, to credit or cause to be credited to the account of the Person specified in such instructions a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Certificate equal to the reduction in the Certificate Principal Balance of the Rule 144A Global Certificate, and to debit, or cause to be debited, from the account of the Person making such exchange or transfer the beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate that is being exchanged or transferred.

(e)            Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate or Regulation S Global Certificate to Rule 144A Global Certificate. If a holder of a beneficial interest in a Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate or Regulation S Global Certificate deposited with the Certificate Registrar as custodian for the Depository wishes at any time to exchange its interest in such Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate or Regulation S Global Certificate for an interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate of the same Class, or to transfer its interest in such Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate or Regulation S Global Certificate to a Person who is required to take delivery thereof in the form of an interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate, such holder may, subject to the rules and procedures of Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, and the Depository, exchange or cause the exchange of such interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate of the same Class. Upon receipt by the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, at its office designated in Section 5.11 of this Agreement, of (1) instructions from Euroclear or Clearstream, if applicable, and the Depository, directing the Certificate Registrar, as registrar, to credit or cause to be credited a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate equal to the beneficial interest in the Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate or Regulation S Global Certificate to be exchanged, such instructions to contain information regarding the participant account with the Depository to be credited with such increase, (2) with respect to a transfer of an interest in the Regulation S Global Certificate, information regarding the participant account of the Depository to be debited with such decrease and (3) with respect to a transfer of an interest in the Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate (but not the Regulation S Global Certificate) for an interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate at any time during the Restricted Period, a certificate in the form of Exhibit G to this Agreement given by the holder of such beneficial interest and stating that the Person transferring such interest in the Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate reasonably believes that the Person acquiring such interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate is a Qualified Institutional Buyer and is obtaining such beneficial interest in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A, then the Certificate Registrar shall instruct the Depository to reduce, or cause to be reduced, the Certificate Principal Balance of the Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate or Regulation S Global Certificate and to increase, or cause to be increased, the Certificate Principal Balance of the Rule 144A Global Certificate by the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the beneficial interest in the Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate or Regulation S Global Certificate to be exchanged, and the Certificate Registrar shall instruct the Depository, concurrently with such reduction, to credit, or cause to be credited, to the account of the Person specified in such instructions, a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate equal to the reduction in the Certificate Principal Balance of the Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate or Regulation S Global Certificate and to debit, or cause to be debited, from the account of the Person making such transfer the beneficial interest in the Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate or Regulation S Global Certificate that is being transferred.

delivering to the Depository for credit to the respective accounts of such holders, a duly executed and authenticated Regulation S Global Certificate, representing the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of interests in the Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate initially exchanged for interests in the Regulation S Global Certificate. The delivery to the Certificate Registrar by Euroclear or Clearstream of the certificate or certificates referred to above may be relied upon by the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar as conclusive evidence that the certificate or certificates referred to therein has or have been delivered to Euroclear or Clearstream pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate. Upon any exchange of interests in the Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate for interests in the Regulation S Global Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall endorse the Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate to reflect the reduction in the Certificate Principal Balance represented thereby by the amount so exchanged and shall endorse the Regulation S Global Certificate to reflect the corresponding increase in the amount represented thereby. Until so exchanged in full and except as provided therein, the Temporary Regulation S Global Certificate, and the Certificates evidenced thereby, shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as the Regulation S Global Certificate and Rule 144A Global Certificate authenticated and delivered hereunder.

None of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action unless such action is related to its respective duties under this Agreement and in its opinion does not expose it to any expense or liability for which reimbursement is not reasonably assured; provided, however, that any of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor may in its discretion undertake any such action related to its obligations hereunder which it may deem necessary or desirable with respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the reasonable legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust (payable out of the Collection Account or the applicable Serviced Whole Loan Custodial Account if and to the extent with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan and then out of the Collection Account, provided that to the extent that the amount relates to a Serviced Whole Loan, is required under the related Co-Lender Agreement to be borne by the holder of a related Companion Loan and is paid from the Collection Account because funds on deposit in the applicable Serviced Whole Loan Custodial Account are insufficient to pay such indemnification, then the Master Servicer shall from time to time thereafter use amounts otherwise payable to the holder of such Companion Loan to deposit into the Collection Account the amount so paid from the Collection Account), and the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the

Collection Account or the applicable Serviced Whole Loan Custodial Account, as applicable, as provided in Section 3.06 and Section 3.06A of this Agreement.

Each Other Securitization Trust, Other Master Servicer, an Other Special Servicer, an Other Depositor, an Other Trustee, an Other Certificate Administrator, an Other Operating Advisor, and any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents (collectively, the “Other Indemnified Parties”), shall be indemnified by the Trust and held harmless against the Trust’s pro rata share (subject to the related Co-Lender 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 the servicing and administration of each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan and the related Mortgaged Property under the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement (but excluding any such losses allocable to each Non-Serviced Companion Loan), other than any losses incurred by reason of any Other Indemnified Party’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its obligations or duties or by reason of negligent disregard of obligations and duties under the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement and to the extent amounts on deposit in the “serviced whole loan custodial account” (or such other similar term, as defined in the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement) are insufficient for reimbursement of such amounts, the Master Servicer shall, promptly following notice from the related Other Master Servicer, reimburse each of such applicable Persons for the Trust’s pro rata share of the insufficiency out of general funds in the Collection Account.

Section 6.04      Limitation on Resignation of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor.

(a)            Each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor may assign its respective rights and delegate its respective duties and obligations under this Agreement; provided that, with respect to any of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor: (i) the successor accepting such assignment and delegation (A) shall be an established mortgage finance entity, bank or other entity regularly engaged in the servicing of commercial mortgage loans (or, in the case of the Operating Advisor, an Eligible Operating Advisor), organized and doing business under the laws of any state of the United States, the District of Columbia or the United States, authorized under such laws to perform the duties of a servicer of mortgage loans or of an operating advisor, as applicable, or a Person resulting from a merger, consolidation or succession that is permitted under Section 6.02 of this of this Agreement and, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, under the related Co-Lender Agreement, and (B) shall execute and deliver to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator an agreement which contains an assumption by such Person of the due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant and condition to be performed or observed by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, as the case may be, under this Agreement from and after the date of such agreement; (ii) except in the case of a successor operating advisor that satisfies the requirements of an Eligible Operating Advisor, each Rating Agency has delivered to the Trustee a Rating Agency Confirmation; (iii) the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor shall not be released from its obligations under this Agreement that arose prior to the effective date of such assignment and delegation under this Section 6.04; (iv) the rate at which the Operating Advisor Fee, the Servicing Fee or Special Servicing Compensation, as applicable (or any component thereof) is calculated shall not exceed the rate then in effect; (v)

-294-
 

solely in the case of the Charles River Plaza North Whole Loan, for so long as the related Subordinate Companion Loan Holder is the applicable Whole Loan Directing Holder, the successor special servicer is acceptable to the related Subordinate Companion Loan Holder; (vi) solely in the case of the WPC Department Store Portfolio Whole Loan prior to the WPC Department Store Portfolio Securitization Date, the successor special servicer is acceptable to the WPC Department Store Portfolio Directing Holder; and (vii) the resigning Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Operating Advisor, as applicable, shall be responsible for the reasonable costs and expenses of each other party hereto, the Trust and the Rating Agencies in connection with such transfer. Upon acceptance of such assignment and delegation, the purchaser or transferee shall be the successor Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Operating Advisor, as applicable, hereunder.

(b)           Except as provided in this Section 6.04 and Section 7.06(e), and subject to the following paragraph, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Operating Advisor shall not resign from their respective obligations and duties hereby imposed on them except upon determination that such duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law; provided that, on and after the time the Trustee receives notice of resignation by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor upon determination that such duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law, the Trustee shall, subject to the terms and provisions of Section 7.02 of this Agreement as if the resigning party was a Terminated Party, be its successor in all respects in its capacity as Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Operating Advisor, as applicable, as though the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, as the case may be, had received a notice of termination. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or Operating Advisor, as applicable, shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (obtained at the resigning Master Servicer’s, Special Servicer’s or Operating Advisor’s expense) to such effect delivered to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator.

Except as provided in the immediately preceding paragraph, no resignation or removal of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor as contemplated herein (except in circumstances where no successor Operating Advisor is required to be appointed) shall become effective until the Trustee or a successor Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Operating Advisor shall have assumed the Master Servicer’s, the Special Servicer’s or the Operating Advisor’s, as applicable, responsibilities, duties, liabilities and obligations hereunder. If no successor Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Operating Advisor can be obtained to perform such obligations for the same compensation to which the terminated Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Operating Advisor would have been entitled, additional amounts payable to such successor Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Operating Advisor shall be treated as a shortfall resulting in Realized Losses; provided that, for so long as no Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall consult with the Controlling Class Representative prior to the appointment of a successor Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Operating Advisor at a servicing or operating advisor compensation in excess of that permitted to the terminated Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Operating Advisor, as applicable, and will only be permitted to appoint such successor Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Operating Advisor at the direction of the Depositor. For so long as the holder of the Charles River Plaza North Subordinate Companion Loan is the Charles River Plaza North Directing Holder, the appointment of any successor special servicer with respect to the Charles River Plaza North

-295-
 

Whole Loan shall be subject to the consent of the holder of the Charles River Plaza North Subordinate Companion Loan. The appointment of any successor special servicer with respect to the WPC Department Store Portfolio Whole Loan (prior to the WPC Department Store Portfolio Companion Loan Securitization Date) shall be subject to the consent of the WPC Department Store Portfolio Directing Holder.

If the Trustee or an Affiliate acts pursuant to this Section 6.04 as successor to the resigning Master Servicer, it may reduce the Excess Servicing Fee Rate to the extent that the Trustee’s or such Affiliate’s compensation as successor Master Servicer would otherwise be below the market rate servicing compensation. If the Trustee elects to appoint a successor to the resigning Master Servicer other than itself or an Affiliate pursuant to this Section 6.04, it may reduce the Excess Servicing Fee Rate to the extent reasonably necessary (in the sole discretion of the Trustee) for the Trustee to appoint a qualified successor Master Servicer that meets the requirements of this Section 6.04.

Section 6.05     Rights of the Depositor, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator in Respect of the Master Servicer and Special Servicer. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall afford the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and, subject to Section 11.13 of this Agreement, each Rating Agency, upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours access to all records maintained by it in respect of its rights and obligations hereunder and access to its officers responsible for such obligations, if reasonably related to the performance of the obligations of such Person under this Agreement. Upon request, if reasonably related to the performance of the obligations of such Person under this Agreement, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall furnish to the Depositor, each of the Underwriters, the Initial Purchasers, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator its most recent publicly available annual financial statements or those of its public parent. The Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the obligations of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder which are in default and may, but is not obligated to, perform, or cause a designee to perform, any defaulted obligation of such Person hereunder or exercise its rights hereunder, provided that the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall not be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder by virtue of such performance by the Depositor or its designee. In the event the Depositor or its designee undertakes any such action, it will be indemnified and reimbursed by the Trust from the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.06 and Section 6.03 of this Agreement to the extent not recoverable from the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable. None of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer (with respect to the Special Servicer) or the Special Servicer (with respect to the Master Servicer) shall have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer and neither such Person is obligated to monitor or supervise the performance of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer under this Agreement or otherwise. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by the Depositor, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator and neither such Person is obligated to monitor or supervise the performance of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator under this Agreement or otherwise.

Each of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, and the Special Servicer shall furnish such reports, certifications and information as are

-296-
 

reasonably requested by the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in order to enable such requesting party to perform its duties hereunder, provided that for the avoidance of doubt, this shall not require any Person to prepare any reports, Certificates and information not required to be prepared hereunder.

Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be under any obligation to disclose confidential or proprietary information pursuant to this Section.

Section 6.06      Master Servicer, Special Servicer as Owner of a Certificate. The Master Servicer or an Affiliate of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or an Affiliate of the Special Servicer may become the Holder (or with respect to a Global Certificate, Beneficial Owner) of any Certificate with the same rights it would have if it were not the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or an Affiliate thereof, except as otherwise expressly provided herein. If, at any time during which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or an Affiliate of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is the Holder or Beneficial Owner of any Certificate, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer proposes to take action (including for this purpose, omitting to take action) that (i) is not expressly prohibited by the terms hereof and would not, in the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s good faith judgment, violate the Servicing Standard, and (ii) if taken, might nonetheless, in the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s good faith judgment, be considered by other Persons to violate the Servicing Standard, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may seek the approval of the Certificateholders and any affected Companion Loan Holder to such action by delivering to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator a written notice that (i) states that it is delivered pursuant to this Section 6.06, (ii) identifies the Percentage Interest in each Class of Certificates beneficially owned by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or an Affiliate of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, and (iii) describes in reasonable detail the action that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer proposes to take. The Certificate Administrator, upon receipt of such notice, shall forward it to the Certificateholders (other than the Master Servicer and its Affiliates or the Special Servicer and its Affiliates, as appropriate) together with such instructions for response as the Certificate Administrator shall reasonably determine. If at any time Certificateholders holding greater than 50% of the Voting Rights of all Certificateholders (calculated without regard to the Certificates beneficially owned by the Master Servicer or its Affiliates or the Special Servicer or its Affiliates) and any affected Companion Loan Holder shall have consented in writing to the proposal described in the written notice, and if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall act as proposed in the written notice, such action shall be deemed to comply with the Servicing Standard. The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, of the reasonable expenses of the Certificate Administrator incurred pursuant to this paragraph. It is not the intent of the foregoing provision that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer be permitted to invoke the procedure set forth herein with respect to routine servicing matters arising hereunder, except in the case of unusual circumstances.

Section 6.07      Rating Agency Fees. The Depositor shall pay (or cause to be paid) the annual fees of each Rating Agency including, but not limited to, surveillance fees.

Upon the written direction of (a) Holders of Regular Certificates evidencing at least 75% of a Certificateholder Quorum or (b) Holders of Non-Reduced Certificates evidencing more than 50% of the Voting Rights of each of Class of Non-Reduced Certificates, (subject to Section 6.08(g), Section 6.08(h) and Section 6.08(i) of this Agreement), the Trustee shall terminate all of the rights (subject to Section 3.12 and Section 6.03 of this Agreement) and obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement, and the proposed successor Special Servicer shall succeed to the duties of the Special Servicer as if a removal and replacement were occurring pursuant to Section 7.01 and Section 7.02 of this Agreement; provided that if such written direction is not provided within 180 days of the initial request for a vote to terminate and replace the Special Servicer, then such written direction shall have no force and effect. The provisions set forth in the foregoing sentences of this Section

-298-
 

6.08(a) shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of solely the Certificateholders and the Trustee as between each other. The Special Servicer shall not have any cause of action based upon or arising from any breach or alleged breach of such provisions. As between the Special Servicer, on the one hand, and the Certificateholders, on the other, the Certificateholders shall be entitled in their sole discretion to vote for the termination or not vote for the termination of the Special Servicer.

The Certificate Administrator shall include on each Distribution Date Statement a statement that each Certificateholder and Beneficial Owner may access notices on the Certificate Administrator’s Website and each Certificateholder and Beneficial Owner may register to receive e-mail notifications when such notices are posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website; provided that the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to reimbursement from the requesting Certificateholders for the reasonable expenses of posting such notices.

(b)           At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event and subject to Section 6.08(g), Section 6.08(h) and Section 6.08(i) of this Agreement, if the Operating Advisor determines that the Special Servicer is not performing its duties as required hereunder or is otherwise not acting in accordance with the Servicing Standard, the Operating Advisor shall deliver to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, with a copy to the Special Servicer, a written recommendation in the form of Exhibit T attached hereto (which form may be modified or supplemented from time to time to cure any ambiguity or error or to incorporate any additional information, subject to compliance of such form with the terms and provisions of this Agreement; provided that in no event shall the information or any other content included in such written recommendation contravene any provision of this Agreement) detailing the reasons supporting its position (along with relevant information justifying its recommendation) and recommending a replacement special servicer meeting the applicable requirements of this Agreement, which recommended special servicer has agreed to succeed as Special Servicer if appointed in accordance herewith. In such event, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly post a copy of such recommendation on the Certificate Administrator’s Website and by mail send notice to all Certificateholders, asking them to vote whether they wish to remove the Special Servicer. Upon (i) the written direction of Holders of each Class of Non-Reduced Certificates evidencing greater than 50% of the aggregate Voting Rights of each Class of Non-Reduced Certificates within 180 days of the initial request for a vote and (ii) receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency by the Certificate Administrator following satisfaction of the foregoing clause (i), the Trustee shall (A) subject to Section 6.08(g), Section 6.08(h) and Section 6.08(i) of this Agreement, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement and appoint the recommended successor Special Servicer and (B) promptly notify the outgoing Special Servicer of the effective date of such termination.

If the Certificate Administrator does not receive the required written direction contemplated by clause (i) of the second preceding sentence within 180 days of the initial request for such vote, then the Trustee shall have no obligation to remove the Special Servicer and such recommendation shall lapse and have no force or effect. Prior to the appointment of any replacement special servicer, such replacement special servicer shall have agreed to succeed to the obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement and to act as

Any termination fee payable to the terminated Special Servicer and any costs incurred by the Trust or the terminated Special Servicer in connection with the replacement of a Special Servicer shall be paid by the Controlling Class Representative, Certificateholders or Companion Loan Holder so terminating the Special Servicer and shall not in any event be an expense of the Trust Fund.

to such Major Decision) and (b) for so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Special Servicer shall not be permitted to consent to the Master Servicer’s taking any of the actions constituting a Major Decision, nor will the Special Servicer itself be permitted to take any of the actions constituting a Major Decision as to which the Controlling Class Representative has objected in writing within ten (10) Business Days (or in the case of a determination of an Acceptable Insurance Default, twenty (20) days) after receipt of the written recommendation and analysis from the Special Servicer; provided that if such written objection has not been received by the Special Servicer within such ten (10) Business Day period or twenty (20) day period, as applicable, then the Controlling Class Representative will be deemed to have approved such action; provided, further, that, in the event that the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, determines that immediate action, with respect to a Major Decision, or any other matter requiring consent of the Controlling Class Representative prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Termination Event in this Agreement, is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders and, with respect to any Serviced Whole Loan (if applicable), the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder(s) constituted a single lender) (and, in the case of the Charles River Plaza North Whole Loan, taking into account the subordinate nature of the related Subordinate Companion Loan), the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, may take any such action without waiting for the Controlling Class Representative’s (or, if applicable, the Special Servicer’s (but only with respect to a non-Specially Serviced Loan)) response. The Special Servicer is not required to obtain the consent of the Controlling Class Representative for any Major Decision following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event; provided that, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Special Servicer shall consult with the Controlling Class Representative (until the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event) and the Operating Advisor in connection with any Major Decision and consider alternative actions recommended by the Controlling Class Representative and the Operating Advisor, but only to the extent such consultation with, or consent of, the Controlling Class Representative would have been required prior to the occurrence and continuance of such Control Termination Event; provided that such consultation is not binding on the Special Servicer.

In addition, other than with respect to the Charles River Plaza North Whole Loan, prior to any Whole Loan Control Appraisal Event, and the WPC Department Store Portfolio Whole Loan, prior to the WPC Department Store Portfolio Securitization Date, for so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Controlling Class Representative may direct the Special Servicer to take, or to refrain from taking, such other actions with respect to a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan, as applicable, as the Controlling Class Representative may deem advisable or as to which provision is otherwise made herein. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no such direction, and no objection contemplated by the preceding paragraph or this paragraph, may require or cause the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to violate any provision of any Mortgage Loan Documents, applicable law, any related Co-Lender Agreement or any intercreditor agreement, this Agreement or the REMIC Provisions, including without limitation each of the Master Servicer’s and the Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard, or expose the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trust or the Trustee to liability, or materially expand the scope of the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s

-303-
 

responsibilities hereunder or cause the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to act, or fail to act, in a manner which in the reasonable judgment of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is not in the best interests of the Certificateholders and/or the Serviced Companion Loan Holders.

In the event the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, determines that a refusal to consent by the Controlling Class Representative or any advice from the Controlling Class Representative would otherwise cause the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, to violate the terms of any Mortgage Loan Documents, the intercreditor agreement, applicable law, the REMIC Provisions or this Agreement, including without limitation, the Servicing Standard, the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, shall disregard such refusal to consent or advise and notify in writing the Controlling Class Representative, the Trustee and, for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 11.13 of this Agreement, the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider of its determination, including a reasonably detailed explanation of the basis therefor. The taking of, or refraining from taking, of any action by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in accordance with the direction of or approval of the Controlling Class Representative that does not violate any law or the Servicing Standard or any other provisions of this Agreement, any related Co-Lender Agreement or any intercreditor agreement will not result in any liability on the part of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer.

The Controlling Class Representative will have no liability to the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action, pursuant to this Agreement, or for error in judgment; provided, however, that the Controlling Class Representative will not be protected against any liability to any Controlling Class Certificateholder that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of negligent disregard of obligations or duties.

By its acceptance of a Certificate, each Certificateholder acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the Controlling Class Representative may have special relationships and interests that conflict with those of Holders of one or more Classes of Certificates; (ii) the Controlling Class Representative may act solely in the interests of the Holders of the Controlling Class; (iii) the Controlling Class Representative does not have any liability or duties to the Holders of any Class of Certificates other than the Controlling Class; (iv) the Controlling Class Representative may take actions that favor interests of the Holders of the Controlling Class over the interests of the Holders of one or more other Classes of Certificates; and (v) the Controlling Class Representative shall have no liability whatsoever (other than to a Controlling Class Certificateholder) for having so acted as set forth in clauses (i)-(iv) of this paragraph, and no Certificateholder may take any action whatsoever against the Controlling Class Representative or any affiliate, director, member, officer, employee, shareholder, member, partner, agent or principal thereof for having so acted; provided, however, that, in the case of a Serviced Whole Loan, the rights of the Controlling Class Representative are subject to the related Co-Lender Agreement.

Any Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder, with respect to a Non-Serviced Whole Loan, shall have no liability to the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders for

-304-
 

any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action, or for errors in judgment. By its acceptance of a Certificate, each Certificateholder acknowledges and agrees that any such Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder, with respect to the related Non-Serviced Whole Loan, may take actions that favor the interests of one or more classes of the certificates issued under the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement including the holders of the controlling class under such Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement over other Classes of the Certificates, and that such Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder, with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan, may have special relationships and interests that conflict with those of Holders of some Classes of the Certificates, that such Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder, with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan, may act solely in the interests of the holders of the controlling class under the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, that such Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder, shall not be liable to any Certificateholder, by reason of its having acted solely in the interests of the holders of the controlling class under the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and that the Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder, with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan, shall have no liability whatsoever for having so acted, and no Certificateholder may take any action whatsoever against such Non-Serviced Whole Loan Controlling Holder, with respect to such Non-Serviced Whole Loan, or any director, officer, employee, agent or principal thereof for having so acted.

(b)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein: (i) the Controlling Class Representative shall have no right to consent to any action taken or not taken by any party to this Agreement, 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 Controlling Class Representative shall remain entitled to receive any notices, reports or information to which it is entitled pursuant to this Agreement, the Master Servicer, Special Servicer and any other applicable party shall consult with the Controlling Class Representative in connection with any action to be taken or refrained from taking to the extent it would have been required to obtain the consent of the Controlling Class Representative but for the occurrence of a Control Termination Event set forth herein; (iii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative shall have no consultation or consent rights hereunder 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 Controlling Class Representative; (iv) in the case of the AB Whole Loan, for so long as the related Subordinate Companion Loan Holder is the related Whole Loan Directing Holder, the Controlling Class Representative will not be entitled to exercise any of the rights in this Section 6.09 with respect to the AB Whole Loan or any related REO Property, and instead all such rights, in addition to any other rights provided for under the related Co-Lender Agreement, shall be exercised by the related Whole Loan Directing Holder; and (v) in the case of the WPC Department Store Portfolio Whole Loan, the Controlling Class Representative will not be entitled to exercise any of the rights in this Section 6.09 with respect to the WPC Department Store Portfolio Whole Loan or any related REO Property, and instead all such rights, in addition to any other rights provided for under the related Co-Lender Agreement, shall be exercised by the related WPC Department Store Portfolio Directing Holder.

(c)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall take or refrain from taking any action pursuant to instructions or based upon advice from a Whole Loan Directing Holder or Companion Loan

-305-
 

Holder that would cause any one of them to violate applicable law, the terms of the related Serviced Whole Loan, the related Co-Lender Agreement, this Agreement, including the Servicing Standard, or the REMIC Provisions or that would (i) expose the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, a Mortgage Loan Seller, the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator or their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees or agents to any claim, suit or liability, (ii) materially expand the scope of the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s responsibilities, or (iii) cause the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to act, or fail to act, in a manner that is not in the best interests of the Certificateholders or the Servicing Standard.

(d)           Each Certificateholder and Beneficial Owner of a Control Eligible Certificate is hereby deemed to have agreed by virtue of its purchase of such Certificate (or beneficial ownership interest in such Certificate) to provide its name and address to the Certificate Administrator and to notify the Certificate Administrator of the transfer of any Control Eligible Certificate (or the beneficial ownership of any Control Eligible Certificate), the selection of a Controlling Class Representative or the resignation or removal thereof. Any such Certificateholder (or Beneficial Owner) or its designee at any time appointed Controlling Class Representative is hereby deemed to have agreed by virtue of its purchase of a Control Eligible Certificate (or the beneficial ownership interest in a Control Eligible Certificate) to notify the Certificate Administrator when such Certificateholder (or Beneficial Owner) or designee is appointed Controlling Class Representative and when it is removed or resigns. Upon receipt of such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the Trustee of the identity of the Controlling Class Representative, any resignation or removal thereof and/or any new Holder or Beneficial Owner of a Control Eligible Certificate. In addition, upon the request (which may be by email) of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor or the Trustee, as applicable, the Certificate Administrator shall provide (on a reasonably prompt basis) the identity of each Companion Loan Holder, the then-current Controlling Class and a list of the Certificateholders (or Beneficial Owners, if applicable, at the expense of the Trust if such expense arises in connection with an event as to which the Controlling Class Representative or the Controlling Class has consent or consultation rights pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with a request made by the Operating Advisor in connection with its obligation under Section 3.28(d)(ii) of this Agreement to deliver a copy of the Operating Advisor Annual Report to the Controlling Class Representative, and otherwise at the expense of the requesting party) of the Controlling Class to such requesting party, and each of the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, Operating Advisor and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely on such information so provided by the Certificate Administrator and shall be entitled to assume that the identity of the Controlling Class Representative has not changed absent notice of a replacement of the Controlling Class Representative by a majority of the Controlling Class, or the resignation of the then-current Controlling Class Representative.

In the event of a change in the Controlling Class, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly contact RREF II CMBS AIV, LP, or, if applicable, any successor Controlling Class Representative or Controlling Class Certificateholder(s), and determine whether such entity is the Holder (or Beneficial Owner) of at least a majority of the Controlling Class (in effect after such change in Controlling Class) by Certificate Principal Balance. If at any time that RREF II CMBS AIV, LP or any successor Controlling Class Representative or Controlling Class

-306-
 

Certificateholder(s) is no longer the Holder (or Beneficial Owner) of at least a majority of the Controlling Class by Certificate Principal Balance and the Certificate Administrator has neither (i) received notice of the then-current Controlling Class Certificateholders of at least a majority of the Controlling Class by Certificate Principal Balance nor (ii) received notice of a replacement Controlling Class Representative pursuant to this Agreement, then a Control Termination Event and a Consultation Termination Event shall both be deemed to have occurred and shall be deemed to continue until such time as the Certificate Administrator receives either such notice. The Certificate Administrator shall promptly notify the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer of the occurrence of a deemed Control Termination Event and/or a deemed Consultation Termination Event in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

Upon receipt of notice of a change in Controlling Class Representative, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly forward notice thereof to each other party to this Agreement.

(e)            Once a Controlling Class Representative has been selected pursuant to clause (c) above, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and each other Certificateholder (or Beneficial Owner, if applicable) shall be entitled to rely on such selection unless a majority of the Certificateholders of the Controlling Class, by Certificate Principal Balance, or such Controlling Class Representative shall have notified the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer and each other Certificateholder of the Controlling Class, in writing, of the resignation of such Controlling Class Representative or the selection of a new Controlling Class Representative. Upon receipt of written notice of, or other knowledge of, the resignation of a Controlling Class Representative, the Certificate Administrator shall request the Certificateholders of the Controlling Class to select a new Controlling Class Representative.

(f)            If at any time a book-entry certificate belongs to the Controlling Class, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the related Beneficial Owner or Beneficial Owners (through the Depository, unless the Certificate Administrator shall have been previously provided with the name and address of such Beneficial Owner or Beneficial Owners) of such event and shall request that it be informed of any change in the identity of the related Beneficial Owner from time to time.

(g)            Until it receives notice to the contrary, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Depositor and the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to rely on the most recent notification with respect to the identity of the Certificateholders of the Controlling Class and the Controlling Class Representative.

(h)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein at any time when the Class F Certificates is the Controlling Class, the Holder of more than 50% of the Controlling Class Certificates (by Certificate Principal Balance) may waive its right to act as or appoint a Controlling Class Representative and to exercise any of the rights of the Controlling Class Representative or cause the exercise of any of the rights of the Controlling Class Representative set forth in this Agreement, by irrevocable written notice delivered to the Depositor, Certificate Administrator, Trustee, Master Servicer, Special Servicer and Operating Advisor (any such Holder or group of affiliated Holders that makes such an election, the

-307-
 

Opting-Out Party”). Any such waiver shall remain effective, and a Control Termination Event and a Consultation Termination Event shall be deemed to exist, with respect to such Holder and such Class until such time as the Opting-Out Party has (i) sold a majority of the Class F Certificates (by outstanding Certificate Principal Balance) to an unaffiliated third party and (ii) certified to the Depositor, Certificate Administrator, Trustee, Master Servicer, Special Servicer and Operating Advisor that (a) the Opting-Out Party retains no direct or indirect voting rights with respect to the Class F Certificates that it does not own, (b) there is no voting agreement between the Opting-Out Party and the transferee and (c) the Opting-Out Party retains no direct or indirect economic interest in the Class F Certificates (such sale and certification, a “Class F Transfer”). Following any such Class F Transfer, the successor holder of more than 50% of the Class F Certificates (by outstanding Certificate Principal Balance), if the Class F Certificates are the Controlling Class Certificates, shall again have the rights of the Controlling Class Representative as set forth herein (including the rights to appoint a Controlling Class Representative or cause the exercise of the rights of the Controlling Class Representative) without regard to any prior waiver by the predecessor Certificateholder. Such successor Certificateholder shall also have the right as provided in this Section 6.09(h) to irrevocably waive its right to act as or appoint a Controlling Class Representative and to exercise any of the rights of the Controlling Class Representative or to cause the exercise of any of the rights of the Controlling Class Representative as set forth in this Agreement. No such successor Certificateholder described above in this paragraph shall have any consent rights with respect to any Mortgage Loan that became a Specially Serviced Loan prior to the Class F Transfer and had not also become a Corrected Mortgage Loan prior to such Class F Transfer until such time as such Mortgage Loan becomes a Corrected Mortgage Loan.

then, and in each and every such case, so long as a Servicer Termination Event is continuing and shall not have been remedied, either (i) the Trustee may or (ii) upon the written direction of the Holders of Certificates evidencing at least 25% of the aggregate Voting Rights of all Certificates (or, solely in the case of the related Serviced Whole Loan, at the direction of an affected Serviced Companion Loan Holder) to the Trustee, then the Trustee shall terminate the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, it shall not be a Servicer Termination Event with respect to the pool of Mortgage Loans under clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (viii), (ix), (x) or (xi) above if the failure, default or event only has an adverse effect on a Serviced Companion Loan, a Serviced Companion Loan Holder or a rating on any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, but shall be a Servicer Termination Event with respect to the related Serviced Companion Loan and any related Serviced Companion Loan Holder shall: (i) in the case of any such failure, default or event on the part of the Master Servicer, have the remedies set forth in Section 7.01(d) with respect to the Servicer Termination Event with respect to the related Serviced Companion Loan; and (ii) with respect to any such failure, default or event on the part of the Special Servicer, be able to require termination of the Special Servicer with respect to, but only with respect to, the related Serviced Whole Loan.

In the event that the Master Servicer is also the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer is terminated as provided in this Section 7.01, the Master Servicer shall also be terminated as Special Servicer.

(b)           If the Master Servicer receives notice of termination under Section 7.01(c) solely due to a Servicer Termination Event under Section 7.01(a)(viii), Section 7.01(a)(ix) or Section 7.01(a)(x) and if the Master Servicer to be terminated pursuant to Section 7.01(c) provides the Trustee with the appropriate “request for proposal” materials within five (5) Business Days following such termination notice, then the Master Servicer shall continue to service as Master Servicer hereunder until a successor Master Servicer is selected in accordance with this Section 7.01(b). Upon receipt of the “request for proposal” materials, Trustee shall promptly thereafter (using such “request for proposal” materials provided by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 7.01(c)) solicit good faith bids for the rights to service the Mortgage Loans and the Serviced Whole Loans under this Agreement from at least three (3) Persons qualified to act as a successor Master Servicer hereunder in accordance with Section 6.02 (any such Person

 

-311-
 

so qualified, a “Qualified Bidder”) or, if three (3) Qualified Bidders cannot be located, then from as many persons as the Trustee can determine are Qualified Bidders; provided that the Master Servicer shall supply the Trustee with the names of Persons from whom to solicit such bids; and provided, further, that the Trustee shall not be responsible if less than three (3) or no Qualified Bidders submit bids for the right to service the Mortgage Loans under this Agreement. The offer proposal shall require any Successful Bidder (as defined below), as a condition of such offer, to enter into this Agreement as successor Master Servicer, and to agree to be bound by the terms hereof, within 45 days after the notice of termination of the Master Servicer. The Trustee shall select the Qualified Bidder with the highest cash offer (the “Successful Bidder”) to act as successor Master Servicer hereunder; provided, however, that if the Trustee does not receive a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency within 10 days after the selection of such Successful Bidder, then the Trustee shall repeat the offer process described above (but subject to the above-described 45-day time period) until such confirmation is obtained. The Trustee shall request the Successful Bidder to enter into this Agreement as successor Master Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof no later than 45 days after notice of the termination of the Master Servicer.

Upon the assignment and acceptance of master servicing rights hereunder (subject to the terms of Section 3.12 of this Agreement) to and by the Successful Bidder, the Trustee shall remit or cause to be remitted to the Master Servicer to be terminated pursuant to Section 7.01(c) of this Agreement, the amount of such cash offer received from the Successful Bidder (net of “out-of-pocket” expenses incurred in connection with obtaining such offer and transferring servicing).

The Master Servicer to be terminated pursuant to Section 7.01(c) of this Agreement shall be responsible for all out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the attempt to sell its rights to service the Mortgage Loans and the Serviced Whole Loans, which expenses are not reimbursed to the party that incurred such expenses pursuant to the preceding paragraph.

If the Successful Bidder has not entered into this Agreement as successor Master Servicer within the above-described time period or no Successful Bidder was identified within the above-described time period, the Master Servicer to be terminated pursuant to Section 7.01(c) shall reimburse the Trustee for all reasonable “out-of-pocket” expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with such offer process and the Trustee shall have no further obligations under this Section 7.01(b). The Trustee thereafter may act or may select a successor to act as Master Servicer hereunder in accordance with Section 7.02.

(c)            In the event that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is terminated pursuant to this Section 7.01, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be (the “Terminated Party”), terminate all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and in and to the Mortgage Loans and Serviced Whole Loans and the proceeds thereof, other than any rights the Master Servicer or Special Servicer may have hereunder as a Certificateholder and any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such termination (including the right to receive all amounts accrued or owing to it under this Agreement, plus interest at the Advance Rate on such amounts until received to the extent such amounts bear interest as provided in this Agreement, with respect to periods prior to the date of such termination and the right to the benefits of Section 6.03 and subsection (b) above

notwithstanding any such termination). On or after the receipt by the Terminated Party of such written notice, all of its authority and power under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates (except that the Terminated Party shall retain its rights as a Certificateholder in the event and to the extent that it is a Certificateholder) or the Mortgage Loans and Serviced Whole Loans or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to and under this Section and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of and at the expense of the Terminated Party, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and Serviced Whole Loans and related documents, or otherwise. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each agrees that, in the event it is terminated pursuant to this Section 7.01, to promptly (and in any event no later than ten Business Days subsequent to such notice) provide, at its own expense, the Trustee (or the successor Master Servicer selected by the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.01(b) of this Agreement or the successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, otherwise appointed pursuant to Section 7.02 of this Agreement) with all documents and records requested by the Trustee (or the successor Master Servicer selected by the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.01(b) of this Agreement or the successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, otherwise appointed pursuant to Section 7.02 of this Agreement) to enable the Trustee or other successor to its responsibilities hereunder to assume its functions hereunder, and to cooperate with the Trustee and the successor to its responsibilities hereunder in effecting the termination of its responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to the successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be or should have been credited by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to the Collection Account, any Serviced Whole Loan Custodial Account, any REO Account or Lockbox Account shall thereafter be received with respect to the Mortgage Loans and Serviced Whole Loans, and shall promptly provide the Trustee or such successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer (which may include the Trustee), as applicable, all documents and records reasonably requested by it, such documents and records to be provided in such form as the Trustee or such successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall reasonably request (including electromagnetic form), to enable it to assume the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s function hereunder. All reasonable costs and expenses actually incurred by the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer in connection with transferring Mortgage Files, Servicing Files and related information, records and reports to the successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer and amending this Agreement to reflect (as well as providing appropriate notices to Mortgagors, ground lessors, insurers and other applicable third parties regarding) such succession as successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer pursuant to this Section 7.01 shall be paid by the predecessor Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses. If the predecessor Master Servicer or Special Servicer (as the case may be) has not reimbursed the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer for such expenses within 90 days after the presentation of reasonable documentation, such expense shall be reimbursed by the Trust Fund; provided that the Terminated Party shall not thereby be relieved of its liability for such expenses.

(d)           Notwithstanding Section 7.01(a) and Section 7.01(c), if (1) any Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Master Servicer affects a Serviced Companion Loan, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder or the rating on a Class of the related Serviced Companion Loan Securities, and the Master Servicer is not otherwise terminated in accordance with Section 7.01(c), or (2) a Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Master Servicer affects only a Serviced Companion Loan, the related Serviced Companion Loan Holder or the rating on a Class of Serviced Companion Loan Securities, then the Master Servicer may not be terminated in accordance with Section 7.01(c), but, upon the written direction of the Serviced Companion Loan Holder, the Master Servicer will be required to appoint, within 30 days of such direction, a sub-servicer (or, if any Serviced Whole Loan is currently being sub-serviced, to replace, within 30 days of the Trustee’s request, the then-current sub-servicer with a new sub-servicer). In connection with the Master Servicer’s appointment of any sub-servicer at the direction of a Companion Loan Holder in accordance with this Section 7.01(d), the Master Servicer shall obtain at its own expense a Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation from each Companion Loan Rating Agency, which shall be delivered and addressed to the related Companion Loan Holder and to the Trustee. The related sub-servicing agreement shall provide that any sub-servicer appointed by the Master Servicer at the direction of a Companion Loan Holder in accordance with this Section 7.01(d) shall be responsible for all duties, and shall be entitled to all compensation (other than the Excess Servicing Fee Right), of the Master Servicer under this Agreement with respect to the related Serviced Whole Loan, except that the Master Servicer shall be entitled to retain a portion of the Servicing Fee for the Mortgage Loan that is part of the related Serviced Whole Loan calculated at 0.0% per annum with respect to such Mortgage Loan (and any related REO Mortgage Loan). Such sub-servicing agreement (a) may be terminated without cause and without payment of any fee and (b) shall also provide that such sub-servicer shall agree to become the master servicer under a separate servicing agreement for the applicable Serviced Whole Loan in the event that any Serviced Whole Loan is no longer to be serviced and administered hereunder, which separate servicing agreement shall contain servicing and administration, limitation of liability, indemnification and servicing compensation provisions substantially similar to the corresponding provisions of this Agreement, except for the fact that the applicable Serviced Whole Loan and the related Mortgaged Properties shall be the sole assets serviced and administered thereunder and the sole source of funds thereunder. If any sub-servicer appointed by the Master Servicer at the direction of a Companion Loan Holder in accordance with this Section 7.01(d) shall at any time resign or be terminated, the Master Servicer shall be required to promptly appoint a substitute sub-servicer and obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation. In the event a successor Master Servicer is acting hereunder and that successor Master Servicer desires to terminate the sub-servicer appointed under this Section 7.01(d), the terminated Master Servicer that was responsible for the Servicer Termination Event that led to the appointment of such sub-servicer shall be responsible for all costs incurred in connection with such termination, including the payment of any termination fee.

(e)            If the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Master Servicer has received notice from Moody’s, Fitch, KBRA or Morningstar that the Master Servicer no longer is an approved master servicer then such party shall promptly notify the others and the Special Servicer, and the Certificate Administrator shall notify the related Companion Loan Holder of the same.

Section 7.02      Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor. On and after the time the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.01, the Trustee shall, subject to the following provisions of this Section 7.02, be its successor in all respects in its capacity as Master Servicer or Special Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and, except as provided herein, shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties, limitations on liability and liabilities relating thereto and arising thereafter placed on the Master Servicer or Special Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof; provided, however, that (i) the Trustee shall have no responsibilities, duties, liabilities or obligations with respect to any act or omission of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer and (ii) any failure to perform, or delay in performing, such duties or responsibilities caused by the Terminated Party’s failure to provide, or delay in providing, records, tapes, disks, information or moneys shall not be considered a default by such successor hereunder. The Trustee, as successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer, shall be indemnified to the full extent provided the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, under this Agreement prior to the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s termination. The appointment of a successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer shall not affect any liability of the predecessor Master Servicer or Special Servicer which may have arisen prior to its termination as Master Servicer or Special Servicer. The Trustee shall not be liable for any of the liabilities, representations and warranties of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer herein or in any related document or agreement, for any acts or omissions of the predecessor Master Servicer or predecessor Special Servicer or for any losses incurred in respect of any Permitted Investment by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.07 of this Agreement nor shall the Trustee be required to purchase any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Whole Loan hereunder. As compensation therefor, the Trustee (or any other successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer assuming the obligations of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable) as successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee or Special Servicing Compensation, as applicable, and all funds relating to the Mortgage Loans and any related Serviced Companion Loans that accrue after the date of the Trustee’s succession to which the Master Servicer or Special Servicer would have been entitled if the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, had continued to act hereunder. In the event any Advances made by the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall at any time be outstanding, or any amounts of interest thereon shall be accrued and unpaid, all amounts available to repay Advances and interest hereunder shall be applied entirely to the Advances made by the Trustee (and the accrued and unpaid interest thereon), until such Advances and interest shall have been repaid in full. Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is unable to so act, or if the Holders of Certificates entitled to at least 25% of the aggregate Voting Rights so request in writing to the Trustee, or if the Rating Agencies do not provide Rating Agency Confirmations with respect to the Trustee so acting, promptly appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, an established mortgage loan servicing institution for which a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency has been obtained (at the expense of the terminated Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, or, if the expense is not so recovered, at the expense of the Trust Fund), as the successor to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer hereunder; provided that, for so long as no Control Termination Event has occurred or is continuing the Controlling Class Representative shall have the right to approve any such successor Special Servicer. No appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer or Special

-315-
 

Servicer hereunder shall be effective until the assumption by such successor of all the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder. Pending appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer if the Special Servicer is also the Master Servicer) hereunder, unless the Trustee shall be prohibited by law from so acting, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as herein above provided. Pending the appointment of a successor to the Special Servicer, unless the Master Servicer is also the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer shall act in such capacity. In connection with such appointment and assumption described herein, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Mortgage Loans and Companion Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the Terminated Party hereunder; provided, further, that if no successor to the Terminated Party can be obtained to perform the obligations of such Terminated Party hereunder, additional amounts shall be paid to such successor and such amounts in excess of that permitted the Terminated Party shall be treated as Realized Losses; provided, further, that, for so long as no Consultation Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall consult with the Controlling Class Representative prior to the appointment of a successor to the Terminated Party at such amounts in excess of that permitted the Terminated Party. The Depositor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.

If the Trustee or an Affiliate acts pursuant to this Section 7.02 as successor to the terminated Master Servicer, it may reduce the Excess Servicing Fee Rate to the extent that the Trustee’s or such Affiliate’s compensation as successor Master Servicer would otherwise be below the market rate servicing compensation. If the Trustee elects to appoint a successor to the terminated Master Servicer other than itself or an Affiliate pursuant to this Section 7.02, it may reduce the Excess Servicing Fee Rate to the extent reasonably necessary (in the sole discretion of the Trustee) for the Trustee to appoint a qualified successor Master Servicer that meets the requirements of this Section 7.02.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if and for so long as the related Subordinate Companion Loan Holder is the Whole Loan Directing Holder for the AB Whole Loan or any related REO Property, any successor special servicer with respect to such AB Whole Loan or related REO Property appointed or otherwise designated pursuant to this Section 7.02 shall be subject to the approval of the related Whole Loan Directing Holder as required under the related Co-Lender Agreement. The appointment of any successor special servicer with respect to the WPC Department Store Portfolio Whole Loan (prior to the WPC Department Store Portfolio Companion Loan Securitization Date) is subject to the consent of the WPC Department Store Portfolio Directing Holder.

Section 7.03      Notification to Certificateholders.

(a)            Upon any termination pursuant to Section 7.01 above or appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator shall give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register, to the Companion Loan Holders and electronically, for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 11.13 of this Agreement, to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider.

-316-
 

(b)           Within 30 days after the occurrence of any Servicer Termination Event or Operating Advisor Termination Event of which a Responsible Officer of the Certificate Administrator has actual knowledge, the Certificate Administrator shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Certificates, any affected Companion Loan Holder (to the extent the Certificate Administrator has received the notice information for such Companion Loan Holder after a request therefor) and electronically, for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 11.13 of this Agreement, to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider notice of such Servicer Termination Event or Operating Advisor Termination Event, unless such Servicer Termination Event or Operating Advisor Termination Event shall have been cured or waived.

Section 7.04      Other Remedies of Trustee. During the continuance of any Servicer Termination Event, so long as such Servicer Termination Event shall not have been remedied, the Trustee, in addition to the rights specified in Section 7.01, shall have the right, in its own name as trustee of an express trust, to take all actions now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute to enforce its rights and remedies and to protect the interests, and enforce the rights and remedies, of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders (including the institution and prosecution of all judicial, administrative and other proceedings and the filing of proofs of claim and debt in connection therewith). In such event, the legal fees, expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the defaulting Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable. If the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, fails to remedy, after the presentation of reasonable documentation, the Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such expenses, costs and liability from the Collection Account or the Serviced Whole Loan Custodial Account, as applicable, as provided in Section 3.06 and Section 3.06A of this Agreement; provided that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall not be relieved of such liability for such expenses, costs and liabilities. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no remedy provided for by this Agreement shall be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy and no delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy shall impair any such right or remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Servicer Termination Event of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer.

Section 7.05     Waiver of Past Servicer Termination Events and Operating Advisor Termination Events; Termination. The Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 66-2/3% of the aggregate Voting Rights of the Certificates (and, if such Servicer Termination Event is on the part of a Special Servicer, with respect to a Serviced Whole Loan only, by each affected Serviced Companion Loan Holder) may, on behalf of all Holders of Certificates, waive any Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or any Operating Advisor Termination Event on the part of the Operating Advisor in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences, except a Servicer Termination Event in connection with making any required deposits (including, with respect to the Master Servicer, P&I Advances) to or payments from the Collection Account, a Serviced Whole Loan Custodial Account or the Lower-Tier Distribution Account or in remitting payments as received, in each case in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Servicer Termination Event or Operating Advisor Termination Event arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right

-317-
 

consequent thereon. Any costs and expenses incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with such default and prior to such waiver shall be reimbursed by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, promptly upon demand therefor and if not reimbursed to the Certificate Administrator within 90 days of such demand, from the Trust Fund; provided that the Trust Fund shall be reimbursed by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Operating Advisor, as applicable, to the extent such amounts are reimbursed to the Certificate Administrator from the Trust Fund. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) a Servicer Termination Event under any of Section 7.01(a)(i) and Section 7.01(a)(ii) of this Agreement may be waived only with the consent of all of the Certificateholders of the affected Classes, and (b) a Servicer Termination Event under Section 7.01(a)(xi) of this Agreement may be waived only with the consent of the Depositor, together with (in the case of each of clauses (a) and (b)) the consent of each Serviced Companion Loan Holder, if any, that is affected by such Servicer Termination Event.

The foregoing paragraph notwithstanding, if the Holders representing at least the requisite percentage of the Voting Rights allocated to each affected Class of Certificates desire to waive a Servicer Termination Event by the Master Servicer, but a Companion Loan Holder related to a Serviced Whole Loan (if adversely affected thereby) does not wish to waive that Servicer Termination Event, then those Certificateholders may still waive that Servicer Termination Event, and the applicable Companion Loan Holder will be entitled to request that the Master Servicer appoint, within 60 days of the applicable Companion Loan Holder’s request, a sub-servicer (or, if the applicable Serviced Whole Loan is currently being subserviced, to replace, within 60 days of the applicable Companion Loan Holder’s request, the then-current sub-servicer with a new sub-servicer) with respect to the applicable Serviced Whole Loan. In connection with the Master Servicer’s appointment of a sub-servicer at the request of a Companion Loan Holder in accordance with this Section 7.05, the Master Servicer shall obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency at the expense of the Companion Loan Holder. The related sub-servicing agreement shall provide that any sub-servicer appointed by the Master Servicer at the request of a Companion Loan Holder in accordance with this Section 7.05 shall be responsible for all duties, and shall be entitled to all compensation (other than the Excess Servicing Fee Right), of the Master Servicer under this Agreement with respect to the applicable Serviced Whole Loan, except that the Master Servicer shall be entitled to retain a portion of the master servicing fee for the related Mortgage Loan calculated at 0.0% per annum. Such Sub-Servicing Agreement (a) may be terminated without cause and without the payment of any fee and (b) shall also provide that such sub-servicer shall become the master servicer under a separate servicing agreement for the applicable Serviced Whole Loan in the event that any Serviced Whole Loan is no longer to be serviced and administered hereunder, which separate servicing agreement shall contain servicing and administration, limitation of liability, indemnification and servicing compensation provisions substantially similar to the corresponding provisions of this Agreement, except for the fact that the applicable Serviced Whole Loan and the related Mortgaged Properties shall be the sole assets serviced and administered thereunder and the sole source of funds thereunder. Such sub-servicer (a) may be terminated without cause and without the payment of any fee and (b) shall meet the requirements of Section 3.01 of this Agreement. If any sub-servicer appointed by the Master Servicer at the request of a Companion Loan Holder in accordance with this Section 7.05 shall at any time resign or be terminated, the Master Servicer shall be required to promptly appoint a substitute sub-servicer with respect to which a Rating Agency Confirmation, which shall be delivered and addressed to the related

-318-
 

Companion Loan Holder and to the Trustee, has been obtained at the expense of the applicable resigning or terminated sub-servicer (and any applicable Sub-Servicing Agreement shall so provide), and if the resigning or terminated sub-servicer fails to cover such expense, the Master Servicer shall do so. In the event a successor Master Servicer is acting hereunder and that successor Master Servicer desires to terminate the sub-servicer appointed under this Section 7.05, the terminated Master Servicer that was responsible for the Servicer Termination Event that led to the appointment of such sub-servicer shall be responsible for all costs incurred in connection with such termination, including the payment of any termination fee.

Section 7.06      Termination of the Operating Advisor.

(a)            An “Operating Advisor Termination Event” means any one of the following events whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be 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 Operating Advisor to observe or perform in any material respect any of its covenants or agreements or the material breach of its representations or warranties under this Agreement, which failure shall continue unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on which written notice of such failure shall have been given to the Operating Advisor by the Trustee or to the Operating Advisor and the Trustee by the Holders of Certificates having greater than 25% of the aggregate Voting Rights of all then-outstanding Certificates; provided, however, that with respect to any such failure which is not curable within such 30-day period, the Operating Advisor shall have an additional cure period of thirty (30) days to effect such cure so long as it has commenced to cure such failure with 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 Operating Advisor to perform in accordance with the Operating Advisor Standard which failure shall continue unremedied for a period of 30 days;

(iii)           any failure by the Operating Advisor to be an Eligible Operating Advisor, which failure shall continue unremedied for a period of 30 days;

(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, shall have been entered against the Operating Advisor, and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days;

(v)            the Operating Advisor shall consent 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

-319-
 

relating to the Operating Advisor or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property; or

(vi)          the Operating Advisor shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations.

Upon receipt by the Certificate Administrator of notice of the occurrence of any Operating Advisor Termination Event, the Certificate Administrator shall 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 it has been remedied. If an Operating Advisor Termination Event shall occur then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Operating Advisor Termination Event shall not have been remedied, either the Trustee (i) may or (ii) upon the written direction of holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights of each Class of Non-Reduced Certificates, the Trustee shall, terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Operating Advisor under this Agreement, (other than any rights or obligations that accrued prior to such termination, including accrued and unpaid compensation, and indemnification rights arising out of events occurring prior to such termination), by notice in writing to the Operating Advisor. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Depositor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to notify the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee of any Operating Advisor Termination Event of which the Depositor becomes aware.

(b)           Upon (i) the written direction of holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 15% of the Voting Rights of the Non-Reduced Certificates requesting a vote to terminate and replace the Operating Advisor with a proposed successor operating advisor that is an Eligible Operating Advisor 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 shall promptly provide written notice thereof to the Operating Advisor and to all Certificateholders by (i) posting such notice on its internet website, and (ii) mailing such notice to all Certificateholders at their addresses appearing in the Certificate Register and to the Operating Advisor. Upon the written direction of holders of Certificates evidencing more than 50% of the Voting Rights of the Non-Reduced Certificates that exercise their right to vote (provided that Holders of at least 50% of the Voting Rights of the Non-Reduced Certificates exercise their right to vote), the Trustee shall terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Operating Advisor under this Agreement (other than any rights or obligations that accrued prior to such termination, including accrued and unpaid compensation, and indemnification rights arising out of events that occurred prior to such termination) by written notice to the Operating Advisor, and the proposed successor operating advisor shall be appointed. The provisions set forth in the foregoing sentences of this Section 7.06(b) shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of solely the Certificateholders and the Trustee as between each other. The Operating Advisor shall not have any cause of action based upon or arising from any breach or alleged breach of such provisions. As between the Operating Advisor, on the one hand, and the Certificateholders, on the other, the Certificateholders shall be entitled in their sole discretion to vote for the termination or not vote for the termination of the Operating Advisor. The Certificate Administrator shall include on each Distribution Date Statement a statement that

-320-
 

each Certificateholder and Beneficial Owner may access such notices on the Certificate Administrator’s Website and each Certificateholder and Beneficial Owner may register to receive e-mail notifications when such notices are posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website; provided that the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to reimbursement from the requesting Certificateholders for the reasonable expenses of posting such notices.

(c)            On or after the receipt by the Operating Advisor of such written notice of termination, subject to the foregoing, all of its authority and power under this Agreement shall be terminated and, without limitation, the terminated Operating Advisor shall execute any and all documents and other instruments, and do or accomplish all other acts or things reasonably necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination. As soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 Business Days after (1) the Operating Advisor resigns pursuant to Section 6.04 of this Agreement (excluding any resignation under the circumstances contemplated in Section 6.04(b) where no successor Operating Advisor is required to be appointed) or (2) the Trustee delivers such written notice of termination to the Operating Advisor, the Trustee shall appoint a successor Operating Advisor that is an Eligible Operating Advisor, which successor Operating Advisor may be an Affiliate of the Trustee and shall be the proposed Operating Advisor in the case of a termination pursuant to Section 7.06(b) of this Agreement; provided, however, that if the Trustee is the successor Master Servicer or successor Special Servicer, neither the Trustee nor any of its Affiliates shall be the successor Operating Advisor. The Trustee shall provide written notice of the appointment of a successor Operating Advisor to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Controlling Class Representative and each Certificateholder within one Business Day of such appointment. Except as contemplated by Section 7.06(b) of this Agreement, the appointment of a successor Operating Advisor shall not be subject to the vote, consent or approval of the holder of any Class of Certificates.

The Operating Advisor shall not at any time be the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, a Sponsor or an Affiliate of any of them. If any of such entities becomes the Operating Advisor, including by means of an Affiliation arising after the date hereof, the Operating Advisor shall immediately resign or cause an assignment under Section 6.04 of this Agreement and the Trustee shall appoint a successor Operating Advisor subject to and in accordance with this Section 7.06(c), which successor Operating Advisor may be an Affiliate of the Trustee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Trustee is unable to find a successor Operating Advisor within 30 days of the termination of the Operating Advisor, the Depositor shall be permitted to find a replacement. In the event the Operating Advisor is either (i) required to resign due to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Controlling Class Representative, the Charles River Plaza North Directing Holder, the WPC Department Store Portfolio Directing Holder, a Sponsor or an Affiliate thereof becoming the Operating Advisor or (ii) terminated pursuant to this Section 7.06, then, unless and until a replacement Operating Advisor is appointed, no party shall act as the Operating Advisor and the provisions in this Agreement relating to consultation with respect to the Operating Advisor shall not be applicable until a replacement Operating Advisor is appointed hereunder.

(d)           Upon any resignation or termination of the Operating Advisor and, if applicable, appointment of a successor to the Operating Advisor, the Trustee shall, as soon as possible, give written notice thereof to the Rating Agencies, the Special Servicer, the Master

-321-
 

Servicer, the Certificate Administrator (who shall, as soon as possible, give written notice thereof to the Certificateholders), the Depositor and, prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative and, for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 11.13 of this Agreement, the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider. In the event that the Operating Advisor resigns or is terminated, all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement shall terminate, other than any rights or obligations that accrued prior to such resignation or termination, including accrued and unpaid compensation, and indemnification rights arising out of events occurring prior to such resignation or termination).

(e)            Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Operating Advisor may resign from its obligations and duties under this Agreement, without payment of any penalty, at any time (a) the aggregate Certificate Principal Balances of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates have been reduced to zero, or (b) the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans in the Trust is equal to or less than 1% of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans; provided that no successor operating advisor shall be required to be appointed in connection with, or as a condition to, such resignation.

ARTICLE VIII

CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE and The Certificate Administrator

Section 8.01      Duties of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator.

(a)            The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge and after the curing or waiver of all Servicer Termination Events which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and no permissive right of the Trustee shall be construed as a duty. During the continuance of a Servicer Termination Event of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 7.02 and Section 7.04 of this Agreement, shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs. The Certificate Administrator undertakes to perform at all times such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and no permissive right of the Certificate Administrator shall be construed as a duty.

(b)            Each of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, upon receipt of any resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they conform on their face to the requirements of this Agreement to the extent specifically set forth herein; provided, however, that neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for the accuracy or content of any such resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument provided to it hereunder if accepted in good faith. If any such instrument is found not to conform on its face to the

 

-322-

The Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, will bear all reasonable costs and expenses of each other party hereto and each Rating Agency in connection with its termination or removal; provided that if the Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, is terminated without cause by the holders of Certificates evidencing aggregate Voting Rights of more than 50% of the Voting Rights of all Certificates as provided in the immediately preceding paragraph, then such holders will be required to pay all the reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) of the Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, necessary to effect the transfer of the rights and obligations of the Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, to a successor Trustee or Certificate Administrator.

Any resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator and appointment of a successor Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.07 shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee or successor Certificate Administrator, as applicable, as provided in Section 8.08.

Upon the resignation, assignment, merger, consolidation, or transfer of the Trustee or its business to a successor or upon the termination of the Trustee, the outgoing Trustee shall (subject to the terms of the third paragraph of this Section 8.07) at its own expense, ensure that prior to consummation of such action or as part of its transfer of duties to any successor (to the extent such Loan Document was assigned or endorsed to the Trustee), (A) the original executed Note(s) for each Mortgage Loan, is endorsed (without recourse, representation or warranty, express or implied) to the order of the successor, as trustee for the registered holders of CSAIL 2015-C3 Commercial Mortgage Trust, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2015-C3” or in blank and further showing a complete, unbroken chain of endorsement from the originator (if such originator is not the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller) (or, alternatively, if the original executed Note(s) have been lost, a lost note affidavit and indemnity with a copy of such Note(s)), and (B) in the case of the other Mortgage Loan Documents, are assigned (and, other than in connection with the removal of the Trustee without cause, recorded as appropriate) to such successor, and such successor shall review the documents delivered to it or the Custodian with respect to each Mortgage Loan, and certify in writing that, as to each Mortgage Loan then subject to this Agreement, such endorsement and assignment has been made. The outgoing Trustee shall provide copies of the documentation provided for in items (A) and (B) above to the Master Servicer, in each case to the extent such copies are not already in the Master Servicer’s possession.

The predecessor Certificate Administrator shall deliver to the successor Certificate Administrator all Mortgage Files and related documents and statements held by it hereunder. The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor and the predecessor Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for more fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, all such rights, powers, duties and obligations. No successor Trustee or Certificate Administrator shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 8.08 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06.

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, as provided in this Section 8.08, the Depositor shall mail notice of the succession of such Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at their addresses as shown in the Certificate Register and to the Companion Loan Holders.

-335-
 

Section 8.10      Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee. Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Fund or property securing the same may at the time be located, the Depositor and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee to act (at the expense of the Trustee) as co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Fund, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity, such title to the Trust Fund, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Depositor and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Depositor shall not be in existence or shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or in case a Servicer Termination Event shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. Except as required by applicable law, the appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee shall not relieve the Trustee of its responsibilities, obligations and liabilities hereunder. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor Trustee under Section 8.06 hereunder and no notice to Holders of Certificates of the appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall be required under Section 8.08 hereof.

In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee pursuant to this Section 8.10, all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Master Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust Fund or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee or co-trustee solely at the direction of the Trustee.

The Depositor and the Trustee acting jointly may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee, or if the separate trustee or co-trustee is an employee of the Trustee, the Trustee acting alone may accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.

Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article VIII. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. In no event shall any such separate trustee or co-trustee be entitled to any provision relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, such separate trustee or co-trustee that imposes a standard

-336-
 

of conduct less stringent than that imposed on the Trustee hereunder, affording greater protection than that afforded to the Trustee hereunder or providing a greater limit on liability than that provided to the Trustee hereunder.

Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, constitute the Trustee its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.

Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United States to the United Kingdom, living on the date hereof. All such payments as contemplated by the preceding paragraph shall be deposited into the Collection Account by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable promptly following receipt thereof.

(b)           In connection with a termination contemplated by Section 9.01(a) of this Agreement, the Trust REMICs outstanding shall be terminated and the assets of the Trust Fund with respect to the Lower-Tier REMIC shall be sold or otherwise disposed of in connection therewith, pursuant to a “plan of complete liquidation” within the meaning of Code Section 860F(a)(4)(A) providing for the actions contemplated by the provisions hereof pursuant to which the applicable Notice of Termination is given and requiring that the assets of the Lower-Tier REMIC shall be sold for cash and that each such Trust REMIC shall terminate on a Distribution Date occurring not more than 90 days following the date of adoption of the plan of complete liquidation. For purposes of this Section 9.01(b), the Notice of Termination given pursuant to Section 9.01(c) shall constitute the adoption of the plan of complete liquidation as of the date such notice is given, which date shall be specified by the Certificate Administrator in the final federal income tax returns of each Trust REMIC. Notwithstanding the termination of the Trust REMICs, or the Trust Fund, the Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for filing the final Tax Returns for the Trust REMICs and for the Grantor Trust for the period ending with such termination, and shall maintain books and records with respect to the Trust REMICs and the Grantor Trust for the period for which it maintains its own tax returns or other reasonable period.

(c)            The Holders of the Controlling Class representing greater than 50% of the Certificate Principal Amount of the Controlling Class may (or, if such Holders do not, the Special Servicer, or if neither such Holders nor the Special Servicer do, the Master Servicer or, if neither such Holders nor the Special Servicer nor the Master Servicer does, any Holders of the Class R Certificates representing greater than a 50% Percentage Interest in such Class, may) effect an early termination of the Trust Fund, upon not less than 30 days’ prior notice given to the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer and Master Servicer (whereupon the Master Servicer shall notify the Companion Loan Holders) any time on or after the Early Termination Notice Date specifying the Anticipated Termination Date, by purchasing on such date all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans (and in the case of the Serviced Whole Loans, subject to certain rights of the related Companion Loan Holder provided for in the related Co-Lender Agreement) then included in the Trust Fund, and all property or interests in property acquired by the Trust Fund in respect of any Mortgage Loan, at a purchase price, payable in cash, equal to (i) the sum of (A) the aggregate Purchase Price (excluding the amount described in clause (e) of the definition Purchase Price) of all the Mortgage Loans (exclusive of REO Mortgage Loans) included in the Trust Fund, (B) the Appraised Value of the Trust’s portion of each REO Property, if any, included in the Trust Fund, as determined by the Special Servicer (such Appraisals in clause (i)(B) shall be obtained by the Special Servicer and prepared by an Appraiser in accordance with MAI standards) and (C) the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Master Servicer (unless the Master Servicer is the purchaser of such Mortgage Loans), the Special Servicer (unless the Special Servicer is the purchaser of such Mortgage Loans), the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, with respect to

The Holders of the Controlling Class representing greater than 50% of the Certificate Principal Balance of the Controlling Class may (or, if such Holders do not, the Special Servicer, or if neither such Holders nor the Special Servicer do, the Master Servicer or, if neither such Holders nor the Special Servicer nor the Master Servicer does, any Holder of a Class R Certificate representing greater than a 50% Percentage Interest in such Class, may also) effect such termination as provided in the prior paragraph if such party first notifies the Controlling Class Representative and each Certifying Certificateholder, or, in the case of a termination by the Holder of a Class R Certificate, notifies the Certificate Administrator (who shall notify each of the Controlling Class Representative, each Certifying Certificateholder and the Master Servicer) of its intention to do so in writing within 30 days following the Early Termination Notice Date. All costs and expenses incurred by any and all parties to this Agreement or by the Trust Fund in connection with the purchase of the Mortgage Loans and other assets of the Trust Fund pursuant to this Section 9.01(c) shall be borne by the party exercising its purchase rights hereunder. The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any determination made by an Appraiser pursuant to this subsection (c).

(d)           If the Trust Fund has not been previously terminated pursuant to subsection (c) or subsection (h) of this Section 9.01, the Certificate Administrator shall determine as soon as practicable the Distribution Date on which the Certificate Administrator reasonably anticipates, based on information with respect to the Mortgage Loans previously provided to it, that the final distribution will be made (i) to the Holders of outstanding Regular Certificates, and to the Trustee in respect of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests, notwithstanding that such distribution may be insufficient to distribute in full an amount equal to the remaining Certificate Principal Balance of each such Certificate or Lower-Tier Regular Interest, as the case may be, together with amounts required to be distributed on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01 of this Agreement, (ii) to the Holders of the Class Z Certificates, Excess Interest with respect to the Mortgage Loans received and not previously distributed pursuant to Section 4.01(k) of this Agreement or (iii) if no such Regular Certificates are then-outstanding, to the Holders of the Class R Certificates of any amount remaining in the Collection Account, the Lower-Tier Distribution Account, the Upper-Tier Distribution Account or the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account, in either case, following the later to occur of (a) the receipt or collection of the last payment due on any Mortgage Loan included in the Trust Fund or (b) the liquidation or disposition pursuant to Section 3.17 of this Agreement of the last asset held by the Trust Fund.

(e)           Notice of any termination of the Trust Fund pursuant to this Section 9.01 shall be mailed by the Certificate Administrator to affected Certificateholders and each Rating Agency (with a copy to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and, for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website pursuant to Section 11.13 of this Agreement, the

-341-
 

Rule 17g-5 Information Provider) at their addresses shown in the Certificate Register as soon as practicable after the Certificate Administrator shall have received, given or been deemed to have received a Notice of Termination but in any event not more than thirty days, and not less than ten days, prior to the Anticipated Termination Date. The notice mailed by the Certificate Administrator to affected Certificateholders shall:

(i)             specify the Anticipated Termination Date on which the final distribution is anticipated to be made to Holders of Certificates of the Classes specified therein;

(ii)            specify the amount of any such final distribution, if known; and

(iii)           state that the final distribution to Certificateholders will be made only upon presentation and surrender of Certificates at the office of the Paying Agent therein specified.

If the Trust Fund is not terminated on any Anticipated Termination Date for any reason, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly mail notice thereof to each affected Certificateholder.

(f)             Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to this Section 9.01 shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with this Section 9.01.

(g)            For purposes of this Section 9.01, the Remaining Certificateholder shall have the first option to terminate the Trust Fund pursuant to subsection (h), and then the Holders of the Controlling Class, and then the Special Servicer, and then the Master Servicer, and then the Holder of the Class R Certificates, in each of the last four cases, pursuant to subsection (c).

(h)            Following the date on which the Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D and Class X-E Notional Amounts and the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-SB, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E

-342-
 

Certificates are reduced to zero, the Remaining Certificateholder shall have the right to exchange all of its Certificates, including the Class X Certificates (but excluding the Class Z and Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans (and if a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan is no longer a “Mortgage Loan” due to the fact that the related Mortgaged Property has been foreclosed upon under the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the related REO Mortgage Loan) and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by clause (ii) of Section 9.01(a) by giving written notice to all the parties hereto no later than 60 days prior to the anticipated date of exchange; provided that such Remaining Certificateholder shall pay the Master Servicer an amount equal to (i) the product of (A) the Prime Rate, (B) the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the then-outstanding Principal Balance Certificates as of the day of the exchange and (C) three, divided by (ii) 360. In the event that the Remaining Certificateholder elects to exchange all of its Certificates (other than the Class Z and Class R Certificates) for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund in accordance with the preceding sentence, such Remaining Certificateholder, not later than the Termination Date, shall deposit in the Collection Account an amount in immediately available funds equal to all amounts due and owing to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee hereunder through the date of the liquidation of the Trust Fund that may be withdrawn from the Collection Account, but only to the extent that such amounts are not already on deposit in the Collection Account. Upon confirmation that such final deposits have been made and following the surrender of all remaining Certificates (other than the Class Z and Class R Certificates) by the Remaining Certificateholder on the Termination Date, the Custodian shall, upon receipt of a Request for Release from the Master Servicer, release or cause to be released to the Remaining Certificateholder or any designee thereof, the Mortgage Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans and shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other instruments furnished to it by the Remaining Certificateholder as shall be necessary to effectuate transfer of the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties remaining in the Trust Fund, and the Trust Fund shall be liquidated in accordance with this Section 9.01. Thereafter, the Trust Fund and the respective obligations and responsibilities under this Agreement of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee (other than the making of certain payments to Certificateholders and Companion Loan Holders, sending of certain notices, preparing and filing tax returns and maintenance of books and records), shall terminate. Such transfers shall be subject to any rights of any Sub-Servicers to service (or to perform select servicing functions with respect to) the Mortgage Loans. For federal income tax purposes, the Remaining Certificateholder shall be deemed to have purchased the assets of the Lower-Tier REMIC for an amount equal to the remaining Certificate Principal Balance of its remaining Certificates (other than the Class Z and Class R Certificates), plus accrued and unpaid interest with respect thereto, and the Certificate Administrator shall credit such amounts against amounts distributed in respect of the Lower-Tier Regular Interests and such Certificates. The remaining Mortgage Loans and REO Properties are deemed distributed to the Remaining Certificateholder in liquidation of the Trust Fund pursuant to this Section 9.01.

In connection with the CSAIL 2015-C3 Commercial Mortgage Trust, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2015-C3, and any Serviced Companion Loan Securities, each of the parties to this Agreement shall cooperate fully with the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator, any Other Depositor and any Other Exchange Act Reporting Party, as applicable, to deliver to the Depositor or Other Depositor, as applicable (including any of its assignees or designees), any and all statements, reports, certifications, records and any other information in its possession or reasonably available to it and necessary in the reasonable good faith determination of the Depositor or the Certificate Administrator, any Other Depositor or any Other Exchange Act Reporting Party, as applicable, to permit the Depositor or any Other Depositor, as applicable, to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB, together with such disclosures relating to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, as applicable, and any Sub-Servicer, or the servicing of the Mortgage Loans, reasonably believed by the Depositor or any Other Depositor, as applicable, to be necessary in order to effect such compliance.

(b)           Succession; Subcontractors Reasonableness. For so long as the Trust or any Other Securitization Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act (in addition to any requirements contained in Section 10.06 of this Agreement) in connection with the succession to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or any Sub-Servicer as servicer or Sub-Servicer (to the extent such Sub-Servicer is a “servicer” as contemplated by Item 1108(a)(2) of Regulation AB) under this Agreement by any Person (i) into which the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or such Sub-Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or (ii) which may be appointed as a successor to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or any such Sub-Servicer, the Master Servicer (other than if pursuant to an appointment under Section 7.01 or Section 7.02 of this Agreement) or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide to the Depositor, as well as any Other Depositor as to which the applicable Companion Loan is affected, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the effective date of such succession or appointment as long as such disclosure prior to such effective date would not be violative of any applicable law or confidentiality agreement, and otherwise no later than one (1) Business Day after such effective date of succession, (x) written notice to the Depositor and each such Other Depositor of such succession or appointment and (y) in writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory

to the Depositor and each such Other Depositor, all information relating to such successor servicer reasonably requested by the Depositor or any such Other Depositor in order to comply with its reporting obligation under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K pursuant to the Exchange Act (if such reports under the Exchange Act are required to be filed under the Exchange Act).

(c)            For so long as the Trust or any Other Securitization Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Sub-Servicer, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator (each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator and each Sub-Servicer, for purposes of this Section 10.01(c) and Section 10.01(d), a “Servicer”) is permitted to utilize one or more Subcontractors to perform certain of its obligations hereunder. Such Servicer shall promptly upon request provide to the Depositor, as well as any Other Depositor as to which the applicable Companion Loan is affected, a written description (in form and substance satisfactory to the Depositor and each such Other Depositor) of the role and function of each Subcontractor that is a Servicing Function Participant utilized by such Servicer during the preceding calendar year, specifying (i) the identity of such Subcontractor, and (ii) which elements of the Servicing Criteria will be addressed in assessments of compliance provided by each such Subcontractor. Each Servicer shall cause any Subcontractor determined to be a Servicing Function Participant used by such Servicer for the benefit of the Depositor to comply with the provisions of Section 10.08 and Section 10.09 of this Agreement to the same extent as if such Subcontractor were such Servicer. Such Servicer shall obtain from each such Subcontractor (or, in the case of each Sub-Servicer set forth on Exhibit S, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Sub-Servicer) and deliver to the applicable Persons any assessment of compliance report and related accountant’s attestation required to be delivered by such Subcontractor under Section 10.08 and Section 10.09 of this Agreement, in each case, as and when required to be delivered.

(d)           For so long as the Trust or any Other Securitization Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Servicer engages a Subcontractor in connection with the performance of any of its duties under this Agreement, such Servicer shall be responsible for determining whether such Subcontractor is a “servicer” within the meaning of Item 1101 of Regulation AB and whether such Subcontractor meets the criteria in Item 1108(a)(2)(i), (ii) or (iii) of Regulation AB. If a Servicer determines, pursuant to the preceding sentence, that such Subcontractor is a “servicer” within the meaning of Item 1101 of Regulation AB and meets the criteria in Item 1108(a)(2)(i), (ii) or (iii) of Regulation AB, then such Subcontractor shall be deemed to be a Sub-Servicer for purposes of this Agreement, and the engagement of such Sub-Servicer shall not be effective unless and until notice is given to the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator, as well as any Other Depositor as to which the applicable Companion Loan is affected, of any such Sub-Servicer and Sub-Servicing Agreement. No Sub-Servicing Agreement (other than such agreements set forth on Exhibit S hereto) shall be effective until five (5) Business Days after such written notice is received by the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator and each such Other Depositor. Such notice shall contain all information reasonably necessary, and in such form as may be necessary, to enable the Certificate Administrator, as well as any Other Exchange Act Reporting Party as to which the applicable Companion Loan is affected, to accurately and timely report the event under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K pursuant to Section 10.06 of this Agreement (if such reports under the Exchange Act are required to be filed under the Exchange Act).

-345-
 

(e)            For so long as the Trust or any Other Securitization Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, in connection with the succession to the Trustee or Certificate Administrator under this Agreement by any Person (i) into which the Trustee or Certificate Administrator may be merged or consolidated, or (ii) which may be appointed as a successor to the Trustee or Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or Certificate Administrator, as applicable, shall notify the Depositor and each Other Depositor, at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the effective date of such succession or appointment (or if such prior notice would be violative of applicable law or any applicable confidentiality agreement, no later than the time required under Section 10.06 of this Agreement) and shall furnish pursuant to Section 10.06 of this Agreement to the Depositor and each Other Depositor in writing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor and each Other Depositor, all information reasonably necessary for the Certificate Administrator and Trustee and each Other Exchange Act Reporting Party to accurately and timely report, the event under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K pursuant to Section 10.06 of this Agreement (if such reports under the Exchange Act are required to be filed under the Exchange Act).

Section 10.02      Filing Obligations.

(a)            The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall (and shall cause (or, in the case of a Mortgage Loan Seller Sub-Servicer, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause) each Additional Servicer and Servicing Function Participant utilized thereby to) reasonably cooperate with the Depositor and each Other Depositor in connection with the satisfaction of the Trust’s and each Other Securitization Trust’s reporting requirements under the Exchange Act. Pursuant to Section 10.03, Section 10.04 and Section 10.06, the Certificate Administrator shall prepare for execution by the Depositor any Forms 10-D, 10-K and 8-K required by the Exchange Act, in order to permit the timely filing thereof, and the Certificate Administrator shall file (via the Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval System) such Forms executed by the Depositor. In the event that the Certificate Administrator is unable to timely file with the Commission or deliver to any Other Depositor or Other Exchange Act Reporting Party as to which the applicable Companion Loan is affected, all or any required portion of any Form 8-K, 10-D or 10-K required to be filed by this Agreement because required disclosure information was either not delivered to it or delivered to it after the delivery deadlines set forth in this Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall promptly as soon as practicable, but in no event later than twenty-four (24) hours after determination (but if the next calendar day is not a Business Day, then in no event later than 10:00 a.m., New York time, on the next Business Day), notify the Depositor, such Other Depositor or Other Exchange Act Reporting Party thereof. In the case of Forms 10-D and 10-K, the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator will thereupon cooperate to prepare and file a Form 12b-25 and a Form 10-D/A or Form 10-K/A, as applicable, pursuant to Rule 12b-25 of the Exchange Act. In the case of Form 8-K, the Certificate Administrator will, upon receipt of all required Form 8-K Disclosure Information, include such disclosure information on the next succeeding Form 10-D to be filed for the Trust. In the event that any previously filed Form 8-K or Form 10-K needs to be amended, the Certificate Administrator will notify the Depositor thereof, and such other parties as needed and the parties hereto will cooperate with the Certificate Administrator to prepare any necessary Form 8-K/A or Form 10-K/A. In the event that any previously filed Form 10-D needs to be amended, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Depositor thereof, and such other parties as needed, and the parties hereto shall cooperate to

-346-
 

prepare any necessary Form 10-D/A. Any Form 12b-25 or any amendment to Form 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K shall be signed by an officer of the Depositor. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the performance by the Certificate Administrator of its duties under this Section 10.02 related to the timely preparation and filing of Form 12b-25 or any amendment to Form 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K is contingent upon such parties observing all applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties under this Article X. The Certificate Administrator shall have no liability for any loss, expense, damage, or claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare, arrange for execution and/or timely file any such Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Form 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K, where such failure results from the Certificate Administrator’s inability or failure to receive, on a timely basis, any information from any other party hereto needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 12b-25 or any amendments to Forms 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

The Certificate Administrator has no duty under this Agreement to monitor or enforce the performance by the parties listed on Exhibit U to this Agreement of their duties under this paragraph or proactively solicit or procure from such parties any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure information. The Depositor will be responsible for any reasonable fees assessed or expenses incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with including any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure on Form 10-D pursuant to this paragraph.

The Certificate Administrator shall include in any Form 10-D filed by it with respect to the Trust (i) the information required by Rule 15Ga-1(a) of the Exchange Act concerning all assets of the Trust that were subject of a demand for the repurchase of, or the substitution of a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for, a Mortgage Loan contemplated by Section 2.03(a) of this Agreement, (ii) a reference to the most recent Form ABS-15G filed by the Depositor and the Commission’s assigned “Central Index Key” for the Depositor, which information the Depositor shall deliver to the Certificate Administrator, and (iii) a reference to the most recent Form ABS-15G filed by each Mortgage Loan Seller and the Commission’s assigned “Central Index Key” for each such filer, which information each Mortgage Loan Seller is required to deliver to the Certificate Administrator pursuant to Section 6(i) of the applicable Loan Purchase Agreement.

Upon receipt of such signed Form 10-D (in electronic form or by fax copy), the Certificate Administrator shall deem such report to be approved by the Depositor and shall proceed with filing such report with the Commission. If a Form 10-D cannot be filed on time or if a previously filed Form 10-D needs to be amended, the Certificate Administrator will follow the procedures set forth in Section 10.02(a) of this Agreement. Promptly after filing with the Commission, the Certificate Administrator will make available on its internet website a final executed copy of each Form 10-D prepared and filed by the Certificate Administrator.

its duties under this Section 10.03 related to the timely preparation and filing of Form 10-D is contingent upon such parties observing all applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties under this Section 10.03. The Certificate Administrator shall have no liability for any loss, expense, damage, or claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare, arrange for execution and/or timely file such Form 10-D, where such failure results because required disclosure information was either not delivered to the Certificate Administrator or delivered to the Certificate Administrator after the delivery deadlines set forth in this Agreement, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

(b)           Form 10-D requires the registrant to indicate (by checking “yes” or “no”) that it “(1) has filed all reports required to be filed by Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such reports), and (2) has been subject to such filing requirements for the past 90 days.” The Depositor hereby instructs the Certificate Administrator, with respect to each Form 10-D, to check “yes” for each item unless the Certificate Administrator has received prior written notice (which may be furnished electronically) from the Depositor that the answer should be “no” for an item which notice shall be delivered to the Certificate Administrator no later than the day on which the Depositor provided its signature for such filing pursuant to Section 10.03(a) of this Agreement.

With respect to each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan serviced under the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will use commercially reasonable efforts to procure a Sarbanes-Oxley back-up certification similar in form and substance to the applicable certification from the related Other Master Servicer, the related Other Special Servicer, the related Other Paying Agent and the related Other Trustee. In the event any Reporting Servicer is terminated or resigns pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or any applicable Sub-Servicing Agreement or primary servicing agreement, as the case may be, such Reporting Servicer shall provide a certification to the Certifying Person pursuant to this Section 10.05 with respect to the period of time it was subject

-352-
 

to this Agreement or the applicable sub-servicing or primary servicing agreement, as the case may be.

Such confirmation shall be deemed given if the Other Depositor or Other Exchange Act Reporting Party for the Other Securitization Trust provides a written statement to the effect that the Other Securitization Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and the appropriate party hereto receives such written statement. The parties hereunder shall also have the right to require that such Other Depositor provide them with the contact details of such Other Depositor, Other Exchange Act Reporting Party and any other parties to the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to such Other Securitization Trust. Each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee shall, upon reasonable prior written request given in accordance with the terms of Section 10.17(a) above, timely provide (to the extent the reasonable cost thereof is paid or caused to be paid by the related Mortgage Loan Seller and subject to a right of the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or Trustee, as the case may be, to review and approve such disclosure materials), to a holder of a related Serviced Companion Loan, such party’s description contained in the Prospectus Supplement (updated as appropriate by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, Certificate Administrator or Trustee, as applicable, at the reasonable cost of the related Mortgage Loan Seller) for inclusion in the disclosure materials relating to any securitization of a Serviced Companion Loan.

None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall be obligated to deliver any such item with respect to the securitization of a Serviced Companion Loan if it did not deliver a corresponding item with respect to this Trust.

(c)            Each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, upon reasonable prior written request given in accordance with the terms of Section 10.17(a) above, shall provide (to the extent the reasonable cost thereof is paid or caused to be paid by the applicable party set forth below in the second or third paragraph, as applicable, of this Section 10.17(c)) to the applicable Other Depositor and the applicable Other Trustee under the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement related to any Other Securitization Trust the following: (i) any information (including, but not limited to, disclosure information) required for such Other Securitization Trust to comply in a timely manner with applicable filing requirements under Items 1.01 and 6.02 of Form 8-K and (ii) such opinion(s) of counsel, certifications and/or indemnification agreement(s) with respect to such information that are substantially similar to those delivered by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, or their respective counsel, in connection with the information concerning such party in the Prospectus Supplement and/or any other disclosure materials relating to this Trust.

Without limiting the foregoing, the parties to this Agreement specifically state that no Mortgagor, property manager or other party to a Mortgage Loan is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Agreement.

If the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer determines, in its respective sole discretion, that (i) answering any Rating Agency Inquiry would be in violation of applicable law, the Servicing Standard, this Agreement or any Mortgage Loan documents, (ii) answering any Rating Agency Inquiry would or is reasonably expected to result in a waiver of an attorney-client privilege, or the disclosure of attorney work product, or (iii) (A) answering any Rating Agency Inquiry would materially increase the duties of, or result in significant additional cost or expense to, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and (B) the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard (or in good faith, in the case of the Trustee) that the performance of such duties or the payment of such costs and expenses is beyond the scope of its duties in its capacity as Certificate Administrator, Trustee, Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, under this Agreement, it shall not be required to answer such Rating Agency Inquiry and shall promptly notify the 17g-5 Information Provider by email of such determination. The 17g-5 Information Provider shall promptly thereafter post the Rating Agency Inquiry with the reason it was not answered to the Rating Agency Q&A Forum and Document Request Tool.

Section 11.14      Cooperation with the Mortgage Loan Sellers with Respect to Rights Under the Loan Agreements. It is expressly agreed and understood that, notwithstanding the assignment of the Mortgage Loan Documents, it is expressly intended that the Mortgage Loan Sellers get the benefit of any securitization indemnification provisions in the Mortgage Loan Documents. Therefore, the Depositor, Master Servicer, Special Servicer and Trustee hereby agree to reasonably cooperate with any Mortgage Loan Seller at the sole reasonable expense of such Mortgage Loan Seller with respect to the benefits of the provisions of any section of a Loan Agreement or securitization cooperation agreement related to indemnification of the lender and/or its affiliates with respect to any securitization of the related Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, reassignment to the related Mortgage Loan Seller of such sections, but no other portion of the Mortgage Loan Documents, to permit the related Mortgage Loan Seller and its respective affiliates to enforce such provisions for their respective benefits; provided that none of the Depositor, Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Trustee shall be required to take any action that is inconsistent with the Servicing Standard, would violate applicable law, the terms and provisions of this Agreement or the Mortgage Loan Documents, would adversely affect any Certificateholder, would cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust for federal income tax purposes, or would result in the imposition of a “prohibited transaction” or “prohibited contribution” tax under the REMIC Provisions.

This certifies that [           ] is the registered owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect to the Class A-1 Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-SB, Class X-

 

A-1-2
 

  

A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class X-E, Class X-F, Class X-NR, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class NR, Class R and Class Z Certificates (together with the Class A-1 Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

 

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of August 1, 2015 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Securities Corp., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, and Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

 

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the determination date of each month, commencing in September 2015 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class A-1 Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class A-1 Certificates is the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

 

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor, if

 

A-1-3
 

  

such Certificateholder provides the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

 

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut Off Date (or with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of substitution); (iii) any REO Property (but in the case of each Whole Loan, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related REO Property); (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (but in the case of each Whole Loan, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the revenues received in respect of such REO Property); (v) the Master Servicer’s and the Trustee’s rights, in each case on behalf of the Trust, under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) the Trustee’s rights on behalf of the Trust in any Assignment of Leases and any security agreements; (vii) the Trustee’s rights on behalf of the Trust under any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loan; (viii) all of the Trustee’s and the Certificate Administrator’s rights, in each case on behalf of the Trust, in the Escrow Accounts and Lockbox Accounts and all proceeds of the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, each

 

A-1-4
 

  

Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account and any REO Account and the Excess Interest Distribution Account, including any reinvestment income thereon; (ix) the Trustee’s rights on behalf of the Trust in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (x) the Depositor’s rights under the Loan Purchase Agreements to the extent assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests.

 

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator and Trustee.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.

 

Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, or any agent of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

 

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or, as applicable, any Companion Loan Holder:

 

(i)to cure any ambiguity to the extent that it does not adversely affect any holders of Certificates or any Serviced Companion Loan Holder;

 

(ii)to correct or supplement any of its provisions which may be inconsistent with any other provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or with the description thereof in the Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement or to correct any error;

A-1-5
 

 

  affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or Serviced Companion Loan Holder, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel (at the expense of the party requesting the amendment);

  

(iv)to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions (A) to the extent necessary to maintain the qualification of either Trust REMIC as a REMIC or the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust or to avoid or minimize the risk of imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund, 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 such risk and (2) the action will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any holder of the Certificates or, if applicable, any Serviced Companion Loan Holder, (B) to restrict (or to remove any existing restrictions with respect to) the transfer of the Class R Certificates, provided that the Depositor has determined that the amendment will not give rise to any tax with respect to the transfer of the Class R Certificates to a non-Permitted Transferee or (C) to the extent necessary to comply with the Investment Company Act, the Exchange Act, Regulation AB, and/or any related regulatory actions and/or interpretations;

 

(v)to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other change, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or, if applicable any Serviced Companion Loan Holder, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel;

 

(vi)to modify the procedures in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to Rule 17g-5; provided that such modification does not increase the obligations of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer without such party’s consent (which consent may not be withheld unless such modification would materially adversely affect such party or materially increase such party’s obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement); provided, further that notice of such modification is provided to all parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; and

 

(vii)to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates by any of the Rating Agencies, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or, if applicable, any Serviced Companion Loan Holder;

 

provided that no amendment pursuant to any of clauses (i)-(vii) above may be made that would (i) reduce the consent or consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Controlling Class Representative without the consent of the

 

A-1-6
 

  

Controlling Class Representative; (ii) reduce the consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Operating Advisor without the consent of the Operating Advisor; (iii) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the applicable Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the affected Mortgage Loan Seller; (iv) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Underwriter or Initial Purchaser, without the consent of the affected Underwriter or Initial Purchaser; or (v) adversely affect any Companion Loan Holder in its capacity as such without its consent. Expenses incurred with respect to any amendment shall be borne by the party requesting such amendment, unless the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Trustee is requesting an amendment for the benefit of the Certificateholders, then such expense will be borne by the Trust.

 

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended from time to time by a writing signed by each of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates representing not less than 66-2/3% of the aggregate Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected by the amendment for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

 

(i)reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the Mortgage Loans (or Serviced Whole Loans, if applicable) which are required to be distributed on a Certificate of any Class without the consent of the Holder of that Certificate, or that are required to be distributed to any holder of a Serviced Companion Loan without the consent of that holder;

 

(ii)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 the consent of any Serviced Companion Loan Holder without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of that Class then-outstanding or the consent of each Serviced Companion Loan Holder, as applicable;

 

(iii)change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or a Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the affected Mortgage Loan Seller;

 

(iv)change the definition of “Servicing Standard” without either (1) consent of 100% of the holders of the Certificates or (2) Rating Agency Confirmation;

 

(v)without the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders of the Class or Classes of Certificates adversely affected thereby, change (a) the percentages of Voting Rights of Certificateholders which are required to consent to any action or inaction under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, (b) the right of the Certificateholders to remove the Special

 

A-1-7
 

 

   
  Servicer pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or (c) the right of the Certificateholders to terminate the Operating Advisor pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;

 

(vi)adversely affect any Companion Loan Holder in its capacity as such without its consent;

 

(vii)adversely affect the Controlling Class Representative without the consent of 100% of the Controlling Class Certificateholders; or

The Holders of the Controlling Class representing greater than 50% of the Percentage Interest of the Controlling Class may effect an early termination of the Trust Fund, upon not less than 30 days’ prior notice given to the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer and Master Servicer (whereupon the Master Servicer shall notify the Companion Loan Holders) any time on or after the Early Termination Notice Date specifying the Anticipated Termination Date, by purchasing on such date all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans (and in the case of the Serviced Whole Loans, subject to certain rights of the related Companion Loan Holder provided for in the related Co-Lender Agreement) then included in the Trust Fund, and all property or interests in property acquired by the Trust Fund in respect of any Mortgage Loan, at a purchase price, payable in cash, equal to (i) the sum of (A) the aggregate Purchase Price (excluding the amount described in clause (e) of the definition of Purchase Price) of all the Mortgage Loans (exclusive of REO Mortgage Loans) included in the Trust Fund, (B) the Appraised Value of the Trust’s portion of each REO Property, if any, included in the Trust Fund, as determined by the Special Servicer (such Appraisals in clause (i)(B) shall be obtained by the Special Servicer) and (C) the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Master Servicer (unless the Master Servicer is the purchaser of such Mortgage Loans), the Special Servicer (unless the Special Servicer is the purchaser of such Mortgage Loans), the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, with respect to such termination, minus (ii) solely in the case where the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is effecting such purchase, the aggregate amount of unreimbursed Advances made by such party, together with any interest accrued and payable to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in respect of such Advances and any unpaid Servicing Fees or Special Servicing Fees, as applicable, remaining outstanding (which items will be deemed to have been paid or reimbursed to the purchasing Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in connection with such purchase).

 

The Holders of the Controlling Class representing greater than 50% of the Certificate Principal Balance of the Controlling Class may (or, if such Holders do not, the Special Servicer, or if neither such Holders nor the Special Servicer do, the Master Servicer or, if neither such Holders nor the Special Servicer nor the Master Servicer does, any Holder of a Class R Certificate representing greater than a 50% Percentage Interest in such Class, may also) effect such termination as provided in the prior paragraph if such party first notifies the Controlling Class Representative and each Certifying Certificateholder, or, in the case of a termination by the Holder of a Class R Certificate, notifies the Certificate Administrator (who shall notify each of

 

A-1-8
 

  

the Controlling Class Representative, each Certifying Certificateholder and the Master Servicer) of its intention to do so in writing within 30 days following the Early Termination Notice Date. All costs and expenses incurred by any and all parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or by the Trust Fund in connection with the purchase of the Mortgage Loans and other assets of the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be borne by the party exercising its purchase rights thereunder. The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any determination made by an Appraiser pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee created hereby with respect to the Certificates, the Mortgage Loans and the Serviced Companion Loans (other than the obligation to make certain payments and to send certain notices to Certificateholders as set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and to make any required remittances to the Serviced Companion Loan Holders in the month in which the final Distribution Date occurs) shall terminate immediately following the earlier to occur of (i) the purchase by the Holders of the Controlling Class, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer or the Holders of the Class R Certificates of all the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties (or interests therein) then included in the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, (ii) the voluntary exchange by the Remaining Certificateholder of its Certificates for all the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties (or interests therein) then included in the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 9.01(h) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and (iii) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan or REO Property (or interest therein) contained in the Trust Fund; provided, however, that in no event shall the trust created thereby continue beyond the expiration of twenty-one years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United States to the United Kingdom, living on the date of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All such payments as contemplated by the preceding paragraph shall be deposited into the Collection Account by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable promptly following receipt thereof.

This certifies that [           ] is the registered owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect to the Class A-2 Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-SB, Class X-A, Class

 

A-2-2
 

   

X-B, Class X-D, Class X-E, Class X-F, Class X-NR, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class NR, Class R and Class Z Certificates (together with the Class A-2 Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

 

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of August 1, 2015 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Securities Corp., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, and Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

 

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the determination date of each month, commencing in September 2015 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class A-2 Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class A-2 Certificates is the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

 

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor, if

 

A-2-3
 

  

such Certificateholder provides the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

 

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut Off Date (or with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of substitution); (iii) any REO Property (but in the case of each Whole Loan, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related REO Property); (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (but in the case of each Whole Loan, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the revenues received in respect of such REO Property); (v) the Master Servicer’s and the Trustee’s rights, in each case on behalf of the Trust, under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) the Trustee’s rights on behalf of the Trust in any Assignment of Leases and any security agreements; (vii) the Trustee’s rights on behalf of the Trust under any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loan; (viii) all of the Trustee’s and the Certificate Administrator’s rights, in each case on behalf of the Trust, in the Escrow Accounts and Lockbox Accounts and all proceeds of the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, each

 

A-2-4
 

  

Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account and any REO Account and the Excess Interest Distribution Account, including any reinvestment income thereon; (ix) the Trustee’s rights on behalf of the Trust in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (x) the Depositor’s rights under the Loan Purchase Agreements to the extent assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests.

 

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator and Trustee.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.

 

Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, or any agent of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

 

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or, as applicable, any Companion Loan Holder:

 

(i)to cure any ambiguity to the extent that it does not adversely affect any holders of Certificates or any Serviced Companion Loan Holder;

 

(ii)to correct or supplement any of its provisions which may be inconsistent with any other provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or with the description thereof in the Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement or to correct any error;

A-2-5
 

 

 

   affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or Serviced Companion Loan Holder, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel (at the expense of the party requesting the amendment);
   
(iv)to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions (A) to the extent necessary to maintain the qualification of either Trust REMIC as a REMIC or the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust or to avoid or minimize the risk of imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund, 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 such risk and (2) the action will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any holder of the Certificates or, if applicable, any Serviced Companion Loan Holder, (B) to restrict (or to remove any existing restrictions with respect to) the transfer of the Class R Certificates, provided that the Depositor has determined that the amendment will not give rise to any tax with respect to the transfer of the Class R Certificates to a non-Permitted Transferee or (C) to the extent necessary to comply with the Investment Company Act, the Exchange Act, Regulation AB, and/or any related regulatory actions and/or interpretations;

 

(v)to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other change, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or, if applicable any Serviced Companion Loan Holder, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel;

 

(vi)to modify the procedures in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to Rule 17g-5; provided that such modification does not increase the obligations of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer without such party’s consent (which consent may not be withheld unless such modification would materially adversely affect such party or materially increase such party’s obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement); provided, further that notice of such modification is provided to all parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; and

 

(vii)to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates by any of the Rating Agencies, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or, if applicable, any Serviced Companion Loan Holder;

 

provided that no amendment pursuant to any of clauses (i)-(vii) above may be made that would (i) reduce the consent or consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Controlling Class Representative without the consent of

 

A-2-6
 

  

the Controlling Class Representative; (ii) reduce the consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Operating Advisor without the consent of the Operating Advisor; (iii) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the applicable Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the affected Mortgage Loan Seller; (iv) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Underwriter or Initial Purchaser, without the consent of the affected Underwriter or Initial Purchaser; or (v) adversely affect any Companion Loan Holder in its capacity as such without its consent. Expenses incurred with respect to any amendment shall be borne by the party requesting such amendment, unless the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Trustee is requesting an amendment for the benefit of the Certificateholders, then such expense will be borne by the Trust.

 

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended from time to time by a writing signed by each of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates representing not less than 66-2/3% of the aggregate Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected by the amendment for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

(ii)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 the consent of any Serviced Companion Loan Holder without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of that Class then-outstanding or the consent of each Serviced Companion Loan Holder, as applicable;

 

(iii)change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or a Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the affected Mortgage Loan Seller;

 

(iv)change the definition of “Servicing Standard” without either (1) consent of 100% of the holders of the Certificates or (2) Rating Agency Confirmation;

The Holders of the Controlling Class representing greater than 50% of the Certificate Principal Balance of the Controlling Class may (or, if such Holders do not, the Special Servicer, or if neither such Holders nor the Special Servicer do, the Master Servicer or, if neither such Holders nor the Special Servicer nor the Master Servicer does, any Holder of a Class R Certificate representing greater than a 50% Percentage Interest in such Class, may also) effect such termination as provided in the prior paragraph if such party first notifies the Controlling Class Representative and each Certifying Certificateholder, or, in the case of a termination by the Holder of a Class R Certificate, notifies the Certificate Administrator (who shall notify each of

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of August 1, 2015 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Securities Corp., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, and Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

 

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the determination date of each month, commencing in September 2015 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class A-3 Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class A-3 Certificates is the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor, if

 

A-3-3
 

  

such Certificateholder provides the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

 

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby.

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of August 1, 2015 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Securities Corp., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, and Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

 

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the determination date of each month, commencing in September 2015 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class A-4 Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class A-4 Certificates is the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor, if

 

A-4-3
 

 

such Certificateholder provides the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

 

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof.

This certifies that [          ] is the registered owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect to the Class A-SB Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class X-A, Class

 

A-5-2
 

 

X-B, Class X-D, Class X-E, Class X-F, Class X-NR, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class NR, Class R and Class Z Certificates (together with the Class A-SB Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

 

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of August 1, 2015 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Securities Corp., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, and Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

 

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the determination date of each month, commencing in September 2015 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class A-SB Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class A-SB Certificates is the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

 

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor, if

 

A-5-3
 

 

such Certificateholder provides the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

 

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut Off Date (or with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of substitution); (iii) any REO Property (but in the case of each Whole Loan, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related REO Property); (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (but in the case of each Whole Loan, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the revenues received in respect of such REO Property); (v) the Master Servicer’s and the Trustee’s rights, in each case on behalf of the Trust, under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) the Trustee’s rights on behalf of the Trust in any Assignment of Leases and any security agreements; (vii) the Trustee’s rights on behalf of the Trust under any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loan; (viii) all of the Trustee’s and the Certificate Administrator’s rights, in each case on behalf of the Trust, in the Escrow Accounts and Lockbox Accounts and all proceeds of the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, each

E, Class F, Class NR, Class R and Class Z Certificates (together with the Class X-A Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

 

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of August 1, 2015 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Securities Corp., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, and Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

 

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the determination date of each month, commencing in September 2015 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class X-A Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class X-A Certificates is the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

 

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provides the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner,

 

A-6-4
 

 

but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

 

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut Off Date (or with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of substitution); (iii) any REO Property (but in the case of each Whole Loan, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related REO Property); (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (but in the case of each Whole Loan, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the revenues received in respect of such REO Property); (v) the Master Servicer’s and the Trustee’s rights, in each case on behalf of the Trust, under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) the Trustee’s rights on behalf of the Trust in any Assignment of Leases and any security agreements; (vii) the Trustee’s rights on behalf of the Trust under any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loan; (viii) all of the Trustee’s and the Certificate Administrator’s rights, in each case on behalf of the Trust, in the Escrow Accounts and Lockbox Accounts and all proceeds of the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, each Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account and any REO Account and the Excess Interest Distribution Account, including any reinvestment income thereon; (ix) the Trustee’s rights on behalf of the Trust in any

 

A-6-5
 

 

environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (x) the Depositor’s rights under the Loan Purchase Agreements to the extent assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests.

 

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator and Trustee.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.

(vii)to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates by any of the Rating Agencies, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or, if applicable, any Serviced Companion Loan Holder;

This certifies that [          ] is the registered owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect to the Class X-B Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-SB, Class X-A, Class X-D, Class X-E, Class X-F, Class X-NR, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class NR, Class R and Class Z Certificates (together with the Class X-B Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

 

A-7-3
 

 

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of August 1, 2015 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Securities Corp., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, and Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

 

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the determination date of each month, commencing in September 2015 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class X-B Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class X-B Certificates is the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

 

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provides the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

 

A-7-4
 

 

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut Off Date (or with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of substitution); (iii) any REO Property (but in the case of each Whole Loan, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related REO Property); (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (but in the case of each Whole Loan, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the revenues received in respect of such REO Property); (v) the Master Servicer’s and the Trustee’s rights, in each case on behalf of the Trust, under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) the Trustee’s rights on behalf of the Trust in any Assignment of Leases and any security agreements; (vii) the Trustee’s rights on behalf of the Trust under any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loan; (viii) all of the Trustee’s and the Certificate Administrator’s rights, in each case on behalf of the Trust, in the Escrow Accounts and Lockbox Accounts and all proceeds of the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, each Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account and any REO Account and the Excess Interest Distribution Account, including any reinvestment income thereon; (ix) the Trustee’s rights on behalf of the Trust in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (x) the Depositor’s rights under the Loan Purchase Agreements to the extent assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests.

(v)to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other change, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or, if applicable any Serviced Companion Loan Holder, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel;

 

(vi)to modify the procedures in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to Rule 17g-5; provided that such modification does not increase the obligations of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer without such party’s consent (which consent may not be withheld unless such modification would materially adversely affect such party or materially increase such party’s obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement); provided, further that notice of such modification is provided to all parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; and

 

(vii)to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates by any of the Rating Agencies, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or, if applicable, any Serviced Companion Loan Holder;

 

provided that no amendment pursuant to any of clauses (i)-(vii) above may be made that would (i) reduce the consent or consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Controlling Class Representative without the consent of the Controlling Class Representative; (ii) reduce the consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Operating Advisor without the consent of the Operating Advisor; (iii) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the applicable Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the affected Mortgage Loan Seller; (iv) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Underwriter or Initial Purchaser, without the consent of the affected Underwriter or Initial Purchaser; or (v) adversely affect any Companion Loan

Expenses incurred with respect to any amendment shall be borne by the party requesting such amendment, unless the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Trustee is requesting an amendment for the benefit of the Certificateholders, then such expense will be borne by the Trust.

(ii)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 the consent of any Serviced Companion Loan Holder without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of that Class then-outstanding or the consent of each Serviced Companion Loan Holder, as applicable;

 

(iii)change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or a Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the affected Mortgage Loan Seller;

The Holders of the Controlling Class representing greater than 50% of the Certificate Principal Balance of the Controlling Class may (or, if such Holders do not, the Special Servicer, or if neither such Holders nor the Special Servicer do, the Master Servicer or, if neither such Holders nor the Special Servicer nor the Master Servicer does, any Holder of a Class R Certificate representing greater than a 50% Percentage Interest in such Class, may also) effect such termination as provided in the prior paragraph if such party first notifies the Controlling Class Representative and each Certifying Certificateholder, or, in the case of a termination by the Holder of a Class R Certificate, notifies the Certificate Administrator (who shall notify each of the Controlling Class Representative, each Certifying Certificateholder and the Master Servicer) of its intention to do so in writing within 30 days following the Early Termination Notice Date.

This certifies that [          ] is the registered owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect to the Class X-D Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-SB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-E, Class X-F, Class X-NR, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class NR, Class R and Class Z Certificates (together with the Class X-D Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

 

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of August 1, 2015 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Securities Corp., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, and Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

 

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the determination date of each month, commencing in September 2015 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class X-D Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class X-D

 

A-8-4
 

 

Certificates is the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

 

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provides the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

 

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut Off Date (or with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of substitution); (iii) any REO Property (but in the case of each Whole Loan, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related REO Property); (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (but in the case

  

A-8-5
 

 

of each Whole Loan, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the revenues received in respect of such REO Property); (v) the Master Servicer’s and the Trustee’s rights, in each case on behalf of the Trust, under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) the Trustee’s rights on behalf of the Trust in any Assignment of Leases and any security agreements; (vii) the Trustee’s rights on behalf of the Trust under any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loan; (viii) all of the Trustee’s and the Certificate Administrator’s rights, in each case on behalf of the Trust, in the Escrow Accounts and Lockbox Accounts and all proceeds of the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, each Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account and any REO Account and the Excess Interest Distribution Account, including any reinvestment income thereon; (ix) the Trustee’s rights on behalf of the Trust in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (x) the Depositor’s rights under the Loan Purchase Agreements to the extent assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests.

 

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator and Trustee.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.

 

Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, or any agent of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

(iv)to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions (A) to the extent necessary to maintain the qualification of either Trust REMIC as a REMIC or the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust or to avoid or minimize the risk of imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund, 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 such risk and (2) the action will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any holder of the Certificates or, if applicable, any Serviced Companion Loan Holder, (B) to restrict (or to remove any existing restrictions with respect to) the transfer of the Class R Certificates, provided that the Depositor has determined that the amendment will not give rise to any tax with respect to the transfer of the Class R Certificates to a non-Permitted Transferee or (C) to the extent necessary to comply with the Investment Company Act, the Exchange Act, Regulation AB, and/or any related regulatory actions and/or interpretations;

 

(v)to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other change, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or, if applicable any Serviced Companion Loan Holder, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel;

 

(vi)to modify the procedures in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to Rule 17g-5; provided that such modification does not increase the obligations of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer without such party’s consent (which consent may not be withheld unless such modification would materially adversely affect such party or materially increase such party’s obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement); provided,

 

A-8-7
 

  

further that notice of such modification is provided to all parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; and

  

(vii)to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates by any of the Rating Agencies, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or, if applicable, any Serviced Companion Loan Holder;

 

provided that no amendment pursuant to any of clauses (i)-(vii) above may be made that would (i) reduce the consent or consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Controlling Class Representative without the consent of the Controlling Class Representative; (ii) reduce the consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Operating Advisor without the consent of the Operating Advisor; (iii) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the applicable Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the affected Mortgage Loan Seller; (iv) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Underwriter or Initial Purchaser, without the consent of the affected Underwriter or Initial Purchaser; or (v) adversely affect any Companion Loan Holder in its capacity as such without its consent. Expenses incurred with respect to any amendment shall be borne by the party requesting such amendment, unless the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Trustee is requesting an amendment for the benefit of the Certificateholders, then such expense will be borne by the Trust.

 

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended from time to time by a writing signed by each of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates representing not less than 66-2/3% of the aggregate Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected by the amendment for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

(ii)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 the consent of any Serviced Companion Loan Holder without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of that Class then-outstanding or the consent of each Serviced Companion Loan Holder, as applicable;

 

(iii)change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or a Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the affected Mortgage Loan Seller;

This certifies that [           ] is the registered owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect to the Class X-E Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-SB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class X-F, Class X-NR, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class NR, Class R and Class Z Certificates (together with the Class X-E Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of August 1, 2015 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Securities Corp., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, and Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the determination date of each month, commencing in September 2015 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class X-E Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related

A-9-4
 

 

Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class X-E Certificates is the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provides the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut Off Date (or with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of substitution); (iii) any REO

A-9-5
 

 

Property (but in the case of each Whole Loan, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related REO Property); (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (but in the case of each Whole Loan, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the revenues received in respect of such REO Property); (v) the Master Servicer’s and the Trustee’s rights, in each case on behalf of the Trust, under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) the Trustee’s rights on behalf of the Trust in any Assignment of Leases and any security agreements; (vii) the Trustee’s rights on behalf of the Trust under any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loan; (viii) all of the Trustee’s and the Certificate Administrator’s rights, in each case on behalf of the Trust, in the Escrow Accounts and Lockbox Accounts and all proceeds of the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, each Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account and any REO Account and the Excess Interest Distribution Account, including any reinvestment income thereon; (ix) the Trustee’s rights on behalf of the Trust in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (x) the Depositor’s rights under the Loan Purchase Agreements to the extent assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and (xi)  the Lower-Tier Regular Interests.

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator and Trustee.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.

Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, or any agent of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or, as applicable, any Companion Loan Holder:

(vi)to modify the procedures in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to Rule 17g-5; provided that such modification does not increase the obligations of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer without such party’s consent (which consent may not be withheld unless such modification would materially adversely affect such party or materially increase such party’s obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement); provided,

 

A-9-7
 

 

further that notice of such modification is provided to all parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; and
   
(vii)to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates by any of the Rating Agencies, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or, if applicable, any Serviced Companion Loan Holder;

provided that no amendment pursuant to any of clauses (i)-(vii) above may be made that would (i) reduce the consent or consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Controlling Class Representative without the consent of the Controlling Class Representative; (ii) reduce the consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Operating Advisor without the consent of the Operating Advisor; (iii) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the applicable Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the affected Mortgage Loan Seller; (iv) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Underwriter or Initial Purchaser, without the consent of the affected Underwriter or Initial Purchaser; or (v) adversely affect any Companion Loan Holder in its capacity as such without its consent. Expenses incurred with respect to any amendment shall be borne by the party requesting such amendment, unless the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Trustee is requesting an amendment for the benefit of the Certificateholders, then such expense will be borne by the Trust.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended from time to time by a writing signed by each of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates representing not less than 66-2/3% of the aggregate Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected by the amendment for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

(iii)change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or a Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the affected Mortgage Loan Seller;

This certifies that [           ] is the registered owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect to the Class X-F Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-SB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class X-E, Class X-NR, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class NR, Class R and Class Z Certificates (together with the Class X-F Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of August 1, 2015 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Securities Corp., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, and Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the determination date of each month, commencing in September 2015 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class X-F Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related

A-10-4
 

 

Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class X-F Certificates is the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provides the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut Off Date (or with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of substitution); (iii) any REO

A-10-5
 

 

Property (but in the case of each Whole Loan, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related REO Property); (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (but in the case of each Whole Loan, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the revenues received in respect of such REO Property); (v) the Master Servicer’s and the Trustee’s rights, in each case on behalf of the Trust, under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) the Trustee’s rights on behalf of the Trust in any Assignment of Leases and any security agreements; (vii) the Trustee’s rights on behalf of the Trust under any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loan; (viii) all of the Trustee’s and the Certificate Administrator’s rights, in each case on behalf of the Trust, in the Escrow Accounts and Lockbox Accounts and all proceeds of the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, each Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account and any REO Account and the Excess Interest Distribution Account, including any reinvestment income thereon; (ix) the Trustee’s rights on behalf of the Trust in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (x) the Depositor’s rights under the Loan Purchase Agreements to the extent assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and (xi)  the Lower-Tier Regular Interests.

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator and Trustee.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.

Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, or any agent of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or, as applicable, any Companion Loan Holder:

A-10-6
 

(i)to cure any ambiguity to the extent that it does not adversely affect any holders of Certificates or any Serviced Companion Loan Holder;
   
(ii)to correct or supplement any of its provisions which may be inconsistent with any other provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or with the description thereof in the Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement or to correct any error;

(iv)to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions (A) to the extent necessary to maintain the qualification of either Trust REMIC as a REMIC or the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust or to avoid or minimize the risk of imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund, 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 such risk and (2) the action will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any holder of the Certificates or, if applicable, any Serviced Companion Loan Holder, (B) to restrict (or to remove any existing restrictions with respect to) the transfer of the Class R Certificates, provided that the Depositor has determined that the amendment will not give rise to any tax with respect to the transfer of the Class R Certificates to a non-Permitted Transferee or (C) to the extent necessary to comply with the Investment Company Act, the Exchange Act, Regulation AB, and/or any related regulatory actions and/or interpretations;
   
(v)to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other change, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or, if applicable any Serviced Companion Loan Holder, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel;
   
(vi)to modify the procedures in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to Rule 17g-5; provided that such modification does not increase the obligations of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer without such party’s consent (which consent may not be withheld unless such modification would materially adversely affect such party or materially increase such party’s obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement); provided,

 

A-10-7
 

 

  further that notice of such modification is provided to all parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; and
   
(vii)to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates by any of the Rating Agencies, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or, if applicable, any Serviced Companion Loan Holder;

provided that no amendment pursuant to any of clauses (i)-(vii) above may be made that would (i) reduce the consent or consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Controlling Class Representative without the consent of the Controlling Class Representative; (ii) reduce the consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Operating Advisor without the consent of the Operating Advisor; (iii) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the applicable Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the affected Mortgage Loan Seller; (iv) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Underwriter or Initial Purchaser, without the consent of the affected Underwriter or Initial Purchaser; or (v) adversely affect any Companion Loan Holder in its capacity as such without its consent. Expenses incurred with respect to any amendment shall be borne by the party requesting such amendment, unless the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Trustee is requesting an amendment for the benefit of the Certificateholders, then such expense will be borne by the Trust.

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended from time to time by a writing signed by each of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates representing not less than 66-2/3% of the aggregate Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected by the amendment for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

A-10-8
 

(i)reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the Mortgage Loans (or Serviced Whole Loans, if applicable) which are required to be distributed on a Certificate of any Class without the consent of the Holder of that Certificate, or that are required to be distributed to any holder of a Serviced Companion Loan without the consent of that holder;
   
(ii)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 the consent of any Serviced Companion Loan Holder without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of that Class then-outstanding or the consent of each Serviced Companion Loan Holder, as applicable;
   
(iii)change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or a Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the affected Mortgage Loan Seller;

The Holders of the Controlling Class representing greater than 50% of the Percentage Interest of the Controlling Class may effect an early termination of the Trust Fund, upon not less than 30 days’ prior notice given to the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer and Master Servicer (whereupon the Master Servicer shall notify the Companion Loan Holders) any time on or after the Early Termination Notice Date specifying the Anticipated Termination Date, by purchasing on such date all, but not less than all, of the Mortgage Loans (and in the case of the Serviced Whole Loans, subject to certain rights of the related Companion Loan Holder provided for in the related Co-Lender Agreement) then included

A-10-9

This certifies that [           ] is the registered owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect to the Class X-NR Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-SB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class X-E, Class X-F, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class NR, Class R and Class Z Certificates (together with the Class X-NR Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of August 1, 2015 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Securities Corp., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, and Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the determination date of each month, commencing in September 2015 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class X-NR Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related

A-11-4
 

 

Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class X-NR Certificates is the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

 

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provides the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut Off Date (or with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of substitution); (iii) any REO

Property (but in the case of each Whole Loan, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related REO Property); (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (but in the case of each Whole Loan, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the revenues received in respect of such REO Property); (v) the Master Servicer’s and the Trustee’s rights, in each case on behalf of the Trust, under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) the Trustee’s rights on behalf of the Trust in any Assignment of Leases and any security agreements; (vii) the Trustee’s rights on behalf of the Trust under any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loan; (viii) all of the Trustee’s and the Certificate Administrator’s rights, in each case on behalf of the Trust, in the Escrow Accounts and Lockbox Accounts and all proceeds of the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, each Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account and any REO Account and the Excess Interest Distribution Account, including any reinvestment income thereon; (ix) the Trustee’s rights on behalf of the Trust in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (x) the Depositor’s rights under the Loan Purchase Agreements to the extent assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and (xi)  the Lower-Tier Regular Interests.

Class D, Class E, Class F, Class NR, Class R and Class Z Certificates (together with the Class A-S Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

 

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of August 1, 2015 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Securities Corp., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, and Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the determination date of each month, commencing in September 2015 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class A-S Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class A-S Certificates is the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provides the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less

A-12-3
 

 

than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut Off Date (or with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of substitution); (iii) any REO Property (but in the case of each Whole Loan, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related REO Property); (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (but in the case of each Whole Loan, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the revenues received in respect of such REO Property); (v) the Master Servicer’s and the Trustee’s rights, in each case on behalf of the Trust, under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) the Trustee’s rights on behalf of the Trust in any Assignment of Leases and any security agreements; (vii) the Trustee’s rights on behalf of the Trust under any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loan; (viii) all of the Trustee’s and the Certificate Administrator’s rights, in each case on behalf of the Trust, in the Escrow Accounts and Lockbox Accounts and all proceeds of the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, each Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve

A-12-4
 

 

Account and any REO Account and the Excess Interest Distribution Account, including any reinvestment income thereon; (ix) the Trustee’s rights on behalf of the Trust in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (x) the Depositor’s rights under the Loan Purchase Agreements to the extent assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and (xi)  the Lower-Tier Regular Interests.

Class X-E, Class X-F, Class X-NR, Class A-S, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class NR, Class R and Class Z Certificates (together with the Class B Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

 

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of August 1, 2015 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Securities Corp., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, and Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

 

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the determination date of each month, commencing in September 2015 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class B Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class B Certificates is the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

 

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor, if

 

A-13-3
 

  

such Certificateholder provides the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

 

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut Off Date (or with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of substitution); (iii) any REO Property (but in the case of each Whole Loan, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related REO Property); (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (but in the case of each Whole Loan, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the revenues received in respect of such REO Property); (v) the Master Servicer’s and the Trustee’s rights, in each case on behalf of the Trust, under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) the Trustee’s rights on behalf of the Trust in any Assignment of Leases and any security agreements; (vii) the Trustee’s rights on behalf of the Trust under any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loan; (viii) all of the Trustee’s and the Certificate Administrator’s rights, in each case on behalf of the Trust, in the Escrow Accounts and Lockbox Accounts and all proceeds of the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, each

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.

(vii)to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates by any of the Rating Agencies, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or, if applicable, any Serviced Companion Loan Holder;

 

provided that no amendment pursuant to any of clauses (i)-(vii) above may be made that would (i) reduce the consent or consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Controlling Class Representative without the consent of the

A-14-2
 

  

Class R and Class Z Certificates (together with the Class C Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

 

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of August 1, 2015 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Securities Corp., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, and Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

 

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the determination date of each month, commencing in September 2015 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class C Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class C Certificates is the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

 

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provides the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less

 

A-14-3
 

  

than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

 

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut Off Date (or with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of substitution); (iii) any REO Property (but in the case of each Whole Loan, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related REO Property); (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (but in the case of each Whole Loan, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the revenues received in respect of such REO Property); (v) the Master Servicer’s and the Trustee’s rights, in each case on behalf of the Trust, under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) the Trustee’s rights on behalf of the Trust in any Assignment of Leases and any security agreements; (vii) the Trustee’s rights on behalf of the Trust under any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loan; (viii) all of the Trustee’s and the Certificate Administrator’s rights, in each case on behalf of the Trust, in the Escrow Accounts and Lockbox Accounts and all proceeds of the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, each Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve

 

A-14-4

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator and Trustee.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.

 

Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, or any agent of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

 

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or, as applicable, any Companion Loan Holder:

 

(i)to cure any ambiguity to the extent that it does not adversely affect any holders of Certificates or any Serviced Companion Loan Holder;

  Serviced Companion Loan Holder, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel (at the expense of the party requesting the amendment);
   
(iv)to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions (A) to the extent necessary to maintain the qualification of either Trust REMIC as a REMIC or the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust or to avoid or minimize the risk of imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund, 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 such risk and (2) the action will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any holder of the Certificates or, if applicable, any Serviced Companion Loan Holder, (B) to restrict (or to remove any existing restrictions with respect to) the transfer of the Class R Certificates, provided that the Depositor has determined that the amendment will not give rise to any tax with respect to the transfer of the Class R Certificates to a non-Permitted Transferee or (C) to the extent necessary to comply with the Investment Company Act, the Exchange Act, Regulation AB, and/or any related regulatory actions and/or interpretations;

 

(v)to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other change, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or, if applicable any Serviced Companion Loan Holder, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel;

 

(vi)to modify the procedures in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to Rule 17g-5; provided that such modification does not increase the obligations of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer without such party’s consent (which consent may not be withheld unless such modification would materially adversely affect such party or materially increase such party’s obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement); provided, further that notice of such modification is provided to all parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; and

 

(vii)to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates by any of the Rating Agencies, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or, if applicable, any Serviced Companion Loan Holder;

 

provided that no amendment pursuant to any of clauses (i)-(vii) above may be made that would (i) reduce the consent or consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Controlling Class Representative without the consent of the Controlling Class Representative; (ii) reduce the consultation rights or the right to receive

 

A-14-6

The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency.

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of August 1, 2015 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Securities Corp., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, and Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

 

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the determination date of each month, commencing in September 2015 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class D Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Holders of this Certificate may be entitled to Yield Maintenance Charges, as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class D Certificates is the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

 

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder

 

A-15-3
 

 

at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provides the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

 

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut Off Date (or with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of substitution); (iii) any REO Property (but in the case of each Whole Loan, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related REO Property); (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (but in the case of each Whole Loan, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the revenues received in respect of such REO Property); (v) the Master Servicer’s and the Trustee’s rights, in each case on behalf of the Trust, under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) the Trustee’s rights on behalf of the Trust in any Assignment of Leases and any security agreements; (vii) the Trustee’s rights on behalf of the Trust under any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loan; (viii) all of the Trustee’s and the Certificate Administrator’s rights, in each case on behalf of the Trust, in the Escrow Accounts and Lockbox

 

A-15-4

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator and Trustee.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.

(iv)to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions (A) to the extent necessary to maintain the qualification of either Trust REMIC as a REMIC or the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust or to avoid or minimize the risk of imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund, 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 such risk and (2) the action will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any holder of the Certificates or, if applicable, any Serviced Companion Loan Holder, (B) to restrict (or to remove any existing restrictions with respect to) the transfer of the Class R Certificates, provided that the Depositor has determined that the amendment will not give rise to any tax with respect to the transfer of the Class R Certificates to a non-Permitted Transferee or (C) to the extent necessary to comply with the Investment Company Act, the Exchange Act, Regulation AB, and/or any related regulatory actions and/or interpretations;

 

(v)to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other change, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or, if applicable any Serviced Companion Loan Holder, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel;

 

(vi)to modify the procedures in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to Rule 17g-5; provided that such modification does not increase the obligations of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer without such party’s consent (which consent may not be withheld unless such modification would materially adversely affect such party or materially increase such party’s obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement); provided, further that notice of such modification is provided to all parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; and

 

(vii)to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates by any of the Rating Agencies, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or, if applicable, any Serviced Companion Loan Holder;

 

provided that no amendment pursuant to any of clauses (i)-(vii) above may be made that would (i) reduce the consent or consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling

and Servicing Agreement of the Controlling Class Representative without the consent of the Controlling Class Representative; (ii) reduce the consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Operating Advisor without the consent of the Operating Advisor; (iii) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the applicable Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the affected Mortgage Loan Seller; (iv) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Underwriter or Initial Purchaser, without the consent of the affected Underwriter or Initial Purchaser; or (v) adversely affect any Companion Loan Holder in its capacity as such without its consent. Expenses incurred with respect to any amendment shall be borne by the party requesting such amendment, unless the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Trustee is requesting an amendment for the benefit of the Certificateholders, then such expense will be borne by the Trust.

(ii)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 the consent of any Serviced Companion Loan Holder without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of that Class then-outstanding or the consent of each Serviced Companion Loan Holder, as applicable;

 

(iii)change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or a Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the affected Mortgage Loan Seller;

Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United States to the United Kingdom, living on the date of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

This certifies that [           ] is the registered owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect to the Class E Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-SB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class X-E, Class X-F, Class X-NR, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class F, Class NR, Class R and Class Z Certificates (together with the Class E Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

 

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of August 1, 2015 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Securities Corp., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, and Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

 

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the determination date of each month, commencing in September 2015 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class E Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related

 

A-16-5
 

 

Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class E Certificates is the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

 

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provides the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

 

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut Off Date (or with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of substitution); (iii) any REO

 

A-16-6
 

 

Property (but in the case of each Whole Loan, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related REO Property); (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (but in the case of each Whole Loan, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the revenues received in respect of such REO Property); (v) the Master Servicer’s and the Trustee’s rights, in each case on behalf of the Trust, under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) the Trustee’s rights on behalf of the Trust in any Assignment of Leases and any security agreements; (vii) the Trustee’s rights on behalf of the Trust under any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loan; (viii) all of the Trustee’s and the Certificate Administrator’s rights, in each case on behalf of the Trust, in the Escrow Accounts and Lockbox Accounts and all proceeds of the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, each Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account and any REO Account and the Excess Interest Distribution Account, including any reinvestment income thereon; (ix) the Trustee’s rights on behalf of the Trust in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (x) the Depositor’s rights under the Loan Purchase Agreements to the extent assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and (xi)  the Lower-Tier Regular Interests.

 

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator and Trustee.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.

 

Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, or any agent of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

 

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or, as applicable, any Companion Loan Holder:

 

A-16-7
 

 

(i)to cure any ambiguity to the extent that it does not adversely affect any holders of Certificates or any Serviced Companion Loan Holder;

(iv)to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions (A) to the extent necessary to maintain the qualification of either Trust REMIC as a REMIC or the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust or to avoid or minimize the risk of imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund, 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 such risk and (2) the action will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any holder of the Certificates or, if applicable, any Serviced Companion Loan Holder, (B) to restrict (or to remove any existing restrictions with respect to) the transfer of the Class R Certificates, provided that the Depositor has determined that the amendment will not give rise to any tax with respect to the transfer of the Class R Certificates to a non-Permitted Transferee or (C) to the extent necessary to comply with the Investment Company Act, the Exchange Act, Regulation AB, and/or any related regulatory actions and/or interpretations;

 

(v)to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other change, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or, if applicable any Serviced Companion Loan Holder, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel;

 

(vi)to modify the procedures in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to Rule 17g-5; provided that such modification does not increase the obligations of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer without such party’s consent (which consent may not be withheld unless such modification would materially adversely affect such party or materially increase such party’s obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement); provided,

  

A-16-8
 

 

  further that notice of such modification is provided to all parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; and

 

(vii)to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates by any of the Rating Agencies, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or, if applicable, any Serviced Companion Loan Holder;

 

provided that no amendment pursuant to any of clauses (i)-(vii) above may be made that would (i) reduce the consent or consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Controlling Class Representative without the consent of the Controlling Class Representative; (ii) reduce the consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Operating Advisor without the consent of the Operating Advisor; (iii) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the applicable Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the affected Mortgage Loan Seller; (iv) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Underwriter or Initial Purchaser, without the consent of the affected Underwriter or Initial Purchaser; or (v) adversely affect any Companion Loan Holder in its capacity as such without its consent. Expenses incurred with respect to any amendment shall be borne by the party requesting such amendment, unless the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Trustee is requesting an amendment for the benefit of the Certificateholders, then such expense will be borne by the Trust.

 

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended from time to time by a writing signed by each of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates representing not less than 66-2/3% of the aggregate Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected by the amendment for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

 

A-16-9

(ii)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 the consent of any Serviced Companion Loan Holder without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of that Class then-outstanding or the consent of each Serviced Companion Loan Holder, as applicable;

 

(iii)change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or a Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the affected Mortgage Loan Seller;

This certifies that [           ] is the registered owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect to the Class F Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-SB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class X-E, Class X-F, Class X-NR, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class NR, Class R and Class Z Certificates (together with the Class F Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

 

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of August 1, 2015 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Securities Corp., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, and Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

 

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the determination date of each month, commencing in September 2015 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class F Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

A-17-5
 

 

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class F Certificates is the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

 

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provides the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

 

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on

 

A-17-6
 

 

or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut Off Date (or with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of substitution); (iii) any REO Property (but in the case of each Whole Loan, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related REO Property); (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (but in the case of each Whole Loan, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the revenues received in respect of such REO Property); (v) the Master Servicer’s and the Trustee’s rights, in each case on behalf of the Trust, under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) the Trustee’s rights on behalf of the Trust in any Assignment of Leases and any security agreements; (vii) the Trustee’s rights on behalf of the Trust under any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loan; (viii) all of the Trustee’s and the Certificate Administrator’s rights, in each case on behalf of the Trust, in the Escrow Accounts and Lockbox Accounts and all proceeds of the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, each Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account and any REO Account and the Excess Interest Distribution Account, including any reinvestment income thereon; (ix) the Trustee’s rights on behalf of the Trust in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (x) the Depositor’s rights under the Loan Purchase Agreements to the extent assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and (xi)  the Lower-Tier Regular Interests.

 

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator and Trustee.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the Certificate Administrator shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.

 

Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, or any agent of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

 

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or, as applicable, any Companion Loan Holder:

 

A-17-7
 

 

(i)to cure any ambiguity to the extent that it does not adversely affect any holders of Certificates or any Serviced Companion Loan Holder;

(iv)to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions (A) to the extent necessary to maintain the qualification of either Trust REMIC as a REMIC or the Grantor Trust as a grantor trust or to avoid or minimize the risk of imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund, 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 such risk and (2) the action will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any holder of the Certificates or, if applicable, any Serviced Companion Loan Holder, (B) to restrict (or to remove any existing restrictions with respect to) the transfer of the Class R Certificates, provided that the Depositor has determined that the amendment will not give rise to any tax with respect to the transfer of the Class R Certificates to a non-Permitted Transferee or (C) to the extent necessary to comply with the Investment Company Act, the Exchange Act, Regulation AB, and/or any related regulatory actions and/or interpretations;

 

(v)to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other change, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or, if applicable any Serviced Companion Loan Holder, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel;

 

(vi)to modify the procedures in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to Rule 17g-5; provided that such modification does not increase the obligations of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer without such party’s consent (which consent may not be withheld unless such modification would materially adversely affect such party or materially increase such party’s obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement); provided,

  

A-17-8
 

 

  further that notice of such modification is provided to all parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; and

 

(vii)to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates by any of the Rating Agencies, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or, if applicable, any Serviced Companion Loan Holder;

 

provided that no amendment pursuant to any of clauses (i)-(vii) above may be made that would (i) reduce the consent or consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Controlling Class Representative without the consent of the Controlling Class Representative; (ii) reduce the consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Operating Advisor without the consent of the Operating Advisor; (iii) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the applicable Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the affected Mortgage Loan Seller; (iv) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Underwriter or Initial Purchaser, without the consent of the affected Underwriter or Initial Purchaser; or (v) adversely affect any Companion Loan Holder in its capacity as such without its consent. Expenses incurred with respect to any amendment shall be borne by the party requesting such amendment, unless the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Trustee is requesting an amendment for the benefit of the Certificateholders, then such expense will be borne by the Trust.

 

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended from time to time by a writing signed by each of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates representing not less than 66-2/3% of the aggregate Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected by the amendment for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

(ii)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 the consent of any Serviced Companion Loan Holder without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of that Class then-outstanding or the consent of each Serviced Companion Loan Holder, as applicable;

 

(iii)change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or a Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the affected Mortgage Loan Seller;

This certifies that [           ] is the registered owner of a beneficial ownership interest in a Trust Fund, including the distributions to be made with respect to the Class NR Certificates. The Trust Fund, described more fully below, consists primarily of a pool of Mortgage Loans secured by first liens on commercial, multifamily and manufactured housing community properties and held in trust by the Trustee and serviced by the Master Servicer. The Trust Fund was created, and the Mortgage Loans are to be serviced, pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as defined below). The Holder of this Certificate, by virtue of the acceptance hereof, assents to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and is bound thereby. In the event that there is any conflict between any provision of this Certificate and any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, such provision of this Certificate shall be superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. Also issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-SB, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class X-D, Class X-E, Class X-F, Class X-NR, Class A-S, Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E, Class F, Class R and Class Z Certificates (together with the Class NR Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

 

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of August 1, 2015 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Securities Corp., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, and Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

 

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the determination date of each month, commencing in September 2015 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest then distributable, if any, allocable to the Class NR Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

A-18-5
 

 

Interest accrued on this Certificate during an Interest Accrual Period, plus the aggregate unpaid Interest Shortfall with respect to this Certificate, if any, will be payable on the related Distribution Date to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The “Interest Accrual Period” with respect to any Distribution Date and with respect to the Class NR Certificates is the calendar month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs and is assumed to consist of 30 days.

 

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provides the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

 

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

As provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust Fund includes: (i) such Mortgage Loans as from time to time are subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, together with the Mortgage Files relating thereto; (ii) all scheduled or unscheduled payments on

 

A-18-6
 

 

or collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans due after the Cut Off Date (or with respect to a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan, the Due Date in the month of substitution); (iii) any REO Property (but in the case of each Whole Loan, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the related REO Property); (iv) all revenues received in respect of any REO Property (but in the case of each Whole Loan, only to the extent of the Trust’s interest in the revenues received in respect of such REO Property); (v) the Master Servicer’s and the Trustee’s rights, in each case on behalf of the Trust, under the insurance policies with respect to the Mortgage Loans required to be maintained pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any proceeds thereof; (vi) the Trustee’s rights on behalf of the Trust in any Assignment of Leases and any security agreements; (vii) the Trustee’s rights on behalf of the Trust under any indemnities or guaranties given as additional security for any Mortgage Loan; (viii) all of the Trustee’s and the Certificate Administrator’s rights, in each case on behalf of the Trust, in the Escrow Accounts and Lockbox Accounts and all proceeds of the Mortgage Loans deposited in the Collection Account, each Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Reserve Account and any REO Account and the Excess Interest Distribution Account, including any reinvestment income thereon; (ix) the Trustee’s rights on behalf of the Trust in any environmental indemnity agreements relating to the Mortgaged Properties; (x) the Depositor’s rights under the Loan Purchase Agreements to the extent assigned to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and (xi) the Lower-Tier Regular Interests.

(v)to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other change, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or, if applicable any Serviced Companion Loan Holder, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel;

A-18-8
 

 

further that notice of such modification is provided to all parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; and

 

(vii)to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates by any of the Rating Agencies, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or, if applicable, any Serviced Companion Loan Holder;

 

provided that no amendment pursuant to any of clauses (i)-(vii) above may be made that would (i) reduce the consent or consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Controlling Class Representative without the consent of the Controlling Class Representative; (ii) reduce the consultation rights or the right to receive information under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of the Operating Advisor without the consent of the Operating Advisor; (iii) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the applicable Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the affected Mortgage Loan Seller; (iv) change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Underwriter or Initial Purchaser, without the consent of the affected Underwriter or Initial Purchaser; or (v) adversely affect any Companion Loan Holder in its capacity as such without its consent. Expenses incurred with respect to any amendment shall be borne by the party requesting such amendment, unless the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Trustee is requesting an amendment for the benefit of the Certificateholders, then such expense will be borne by the Trust.

 

The Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any Custodial Agreement may also be amended from time to time by a writing signed by each of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Operating Advisor, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of Certificates representing not less than 66-2/3% of the aggregate Percentage Interests of each Class of Certificates affected by the amendment for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall:

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of August 1, 2015 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Securities Corp., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, and Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate represents the “residual interest” in two “real estate mortgage investment conduits,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(2) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

 

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute (other than the final distribution on any Certificate), on the 4th Business Day following the determination date of each month, commencing in September 2015 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of the aggregate amount, if any, allocable to the Class R Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

All distributions (other than the final distribution on any Certificate) will be made by the Certificate Administrator to the persons in whose names the Certificates are registered at the close of business on each Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day. Distributions are required to be made (a) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder provides the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five Business Days prior to the related Record Date, or otherwise (b) by check mailed to such Certificateholder. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the office of the Certificate Administrator or its agent (which may be the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar acting as such agent) that is specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

 

Any funds not distributed on the Termination Date because of the failure of any Certificateholders to tender their Certificates shall be set aside and held in trust for the account of the appropriate non-tendering Certificateholders, whereupon the Trust Fund shall terminate. If any Certificates as to which notice of the Termination Date has been given pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining Certificateholders, at their last addresses shown in the

 

A-19-4
 

 

Certificate Register, to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive, from such funds held, the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice any Certificate shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of maintaining such funds and of contacting Certificateholders shall be paid out of the assets which remain held. If within two years after the second notice any Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Paying Agent shall pay to the Class R Certificateholders all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with Section 9.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Mortgage Loans, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

(v)to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any other change, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or, if applicable any Serviced Companion Loan Holder, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel;

 

(vi)to modify the procedures in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to Rule 17g-5; provided that such modification does not increase the obligations of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer without such party’s consent (which consent may not be withheld unless such modification would materially adversely affect such party or materially increase such party’s obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement); provided, further that notice of such modification is provided to all parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; and

 

(vii)to amend or supplement any provision of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the extent necessary to maintain the ratings assigned to each Class of Certificates by any of the Rating Agencies, provided that the amendment will not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder or, if applicable, any Serviced Companion Loan Holder;

(ii)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 the consent of any Serviced Companion Loan Holder without the consent of the Holders of all Certificates of that Class then-outstanding or the consent of each Serviced Companion Loan Holder, as applicable;

 

(iii)change in any manner the obligations or rights of any Mortgage Loan Seller under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or a Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the affected Mortgage Loan Seller;

STATE OF    )  
   )   ss.:
COUNTY OF   )  

 

Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

I, [______], under penalties of perjury, declare that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, the following representations are true, correct and complete, and being first sworn, depose and say that:

 

1.      I am a [______] of [______] (the “Purchaser”), on behalf of which I have the authority to make this affidavit.

 

2.      The Purchaser is acquiring Class R Certificates representing [__]% of the residual interest in each of the real estate mortgage investment conduits (each, a “REMIC”) designated as the “Lower-Tier REMIC” and “Upper-Tier REMIC”, respectively, relating to the Certificates for which an election is to be made under Section 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”).

 

3.      The Purchaser is not a “Disqualified Organization” (as defined below), and that the Purchaser is not acquiring the Class R Certificates for the account of, or as agent or nominee of, or with a view to the transfer of direct or indirect record or beneficial ownership thereof, to a Disqualified Organization. For the purposes hereof, a Disqualified Organization is any of the

 

Exhibit L-1-1
 

 

following: (a) the United States, a State or any political subdivision of a State, any possession of the United States or any agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing (other than an instrumentality that is a corporation if all of its activities are subject to tax and, except for the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, a majority of its board of directors is not selected by any such governmental unit), (b) a foreign government, International Organization or agency or instrumentality of either of the foregoing, (c) an organization that is exempt from tax imposed by Chapter 1 of the Code (including the tax imposed by Code Section 511 on unrelated business taxable income) on any excess inclusions (as defined in Code Section 860E(c)(1)) with respect to the Class R Certificates (except certain farmers’ cooperatives described in Code Section 521), (d) rural electric and telephone cooperatives described in Code Section 1381(a)(2) or (e) any other Person so designated by the Certificate Registrar based upon an opinion of counsel to the effect that any transfer to such Person may cause either Trust REMIC to be subject to tax or to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Certificates are outstanding. The terms “United States”, “State” and “international organization” shall have the meanings set forth in Section 7701 of the Code.

 

4.     The Purchaser acknowledges that Section 860E(e) of the Code would impose a substantial tax on the transferor or, in certain circumstances, on an agent for the transferee, with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Class R Certificates to a Disqualified Organization.

 

5.     The Purchaser is a Permitted Transferee. For the purpose hereof, a “Permitted Transferee” is any Person or agent of such Person other than (a) a Disqualified Organization, (b) any other Person so designated by the Certificate Registrar who is unable to provide an Opinion of Counsel (provided at the expense of such Person or the Person requesting the transfer) to the effect that the transfer of an ownership interest in any Class R Certificate to such Person will not cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Certificates are outstanding, (c) a Disqualified Non-U.S. Tax Person, (d) an entity treated as a U.S. partnership if any of its partners, directly or indirectly (other than through a U.S. corporation) is (or is permitted to be under the partnership agreement) a Disqualified Non-U.S. Tax Person or (e) a U.S. Tax Person with respect to which income from a Class R Certificate is attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty, of the transferee or any other U.S. Tax Person.

 

6.     No purpose of the acquisition of the Class R Certificates is to impede the assessment or collection of tax.

 

7.     The Purchaser will not cause income from the Class R Certificate to be attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty, of the Purchaser or any other U.S. Tax Person.

 

8.     Check the applicable paragraph:

 

☐    The present value of the anticipated tax liabilities associated with holding the Class R Certificate, as applicable, does not exceed the sum of:

 

(i)    the present value of any consideration given to the Purchaser to acquire such Class R Certificate;

 

(ii)   the present value of the expected future distributions on such Class R Certificate; and

 

Exhibit L-1-2
 

 

(iii)  the present value of the anticipated tax savings associated with holding such Class R Certificate as the related REMIC generates losses.

 

For purposes of this calculation, (i) the Purchaser is assumed to pay tax at the highest rate currently specified in Section 11(b) of the Code (but the tax rate in Section 55(b)(1)(B) of the Code may be used in lieu of the highest rate specified in Section 11(b) of the Code if the Purchaser has been subject to the alternative minimum tax under Section 55 of the Code in the preceding two years and will compute its taxable income in the current taxable year using the alternative minimum tax rate) and (ii) present values are computed using a discount rate equal to the short-term Federal rate prescribed by Section 1274(d) of the Code for the month of the transfer and the compounding period used by the Purchaser.

 

☐    The transfer of the Class R Certificate complies with U.S. Treasury Regulations Sections 1.860E-1(c)(5) and (6) and, accordingly,

 

(i)    the Purchaser is an “eligible corporation”, as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), as to which income from the Class R Certificate will only be taxed in the United States;

 

(ii)   at the time of the transfer, and at the close of the Purchaser’s two fiscal years preceding the year of the transfer, the Purchaser had gross assets for financial reporting purposes (excluding any obligation of a Person related to the Purchaser within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(ii)) in excess of $100 million and net assets in excess of $10 million;

 

(iii)  the Purchaser will transfer the Class R Certificate only to another “eligible corporation”, as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), in a transaction that satisfies the requirements of Sections 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i), (ii) and (iii) and Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(5); and

 

(iv)  the Purchaser determined the consideration paid to it to acquire the Class R Certificate based on reasonable market assumptions (including, but not limited to, borrowing and investment rates, prepayment and loss assumptions, expense and reinvestment assumptions, tax rates and other factors specific to the Purchaser) that it has determined in good faith.

 

☐    None of the above.

 

9.     The Purchaser historically has paid its debts as they have come due and intends to pay its debts as they come due in the future and the Purchaser intends to pay taxes associated with holding the Class R Certificates as they become due.

 

10.   The Purchaser understands that it may incur tax liabilities with respect to the Class R Certificate in excess of any cash flows generated by such Certificate.

 

11.   The Purchaser is aware that the Certificate Registrar will not register any transfer of a Class R Certificate by the Transferor unless the Purchaser, or such Purchaser’s agent, delivers to the Certificate Registrar, among other things, an affidavit and agreement in substantially the same form as this affidavit and agreement. The Purchaser expressly agrees that it will not consummate any such transfer to any Person that does not provide an affidavit and agreement in

  

Exhibit L-1-3
 

 

substantially the same form as this affidavit and agreement or as to which the Purchaser has actual knowledge that such Person is not a Permitted Transferee or is acting as an agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) for a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee.

 

12.   The Purchaser represents that it is not acquiring the Class R Certificate as a nominee, trustee or agent for any Person that is not a Permitted Transferee and that for so long as it retains its interest in the Class R Certificate, it will endeavor to remain a Permitted Transferee.

 

13.   The Purchaser consents to any additional restrictions or arrangements that shall be deemed necessary upon advice of counsel to constitute a reasonable arrangement to ensure that the Class R Certificate will only be owned, directly or indirectly, by a Permitted Transferee.

 

14.   The Purchaser has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, a description of which provisions is set forth in the Class R Certificates; and the Purchaser expressly agrees to be bound by and to comply with such provisions.

 

15.   The Purchaser consents to the designation of the Certificate Administrator as the agent of the Tax Matters Person of the Lower-Tier REMIC and Upper-Tier REMIC pursuant to Section 4.04 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

This letter is delivered to you in connection with the transfer by [______] (the “Transferor”) to [______] (the “Transferee”) of Class R Certificates evidencing a [__]% Percentage Interest in such Class (the “Residual Certificates”). The Certificates, including the Residual Certificates, were issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of August 1, 2015 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Securities Corp., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, and Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer. All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Transferor hereby certifies, represents and warrants to you, as Certificate Registrar, that:

 

(1) No purpose of the Transferor relating to the transfer of the Residual Certificates by the Transferor to the Transferee is or will be to impede the assessment or collection of any tax.

 

(2) The Transferor understands that the Transferee has delivered to you a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement in the form attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as Exhibit L-1. The Transferor has no actual knowledge that the Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee (as defined in such Transfer Affidavit and Agreement) and has no actual knowledge or reason to know that the Transferee’s representations in such Transfer Affidavit and Agreement are false.

 

(3) The Transferor has at the time of this transfer conducted a reasonable investigation of the financial condition of the Transferee as contemplated by Treasury regulation Section 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i) and, as a result of that investigation, the Transferor has determined that the Transferee has historically paid its debts as they became due and has found no significant evidence to indicate that the Transferee will not continue to pay its debts as they become due in the future. The Transferor understands that the transfer of the Residual Certificates may not be respected for United States income tax purposes (and the Transferor may continue to be liable for United

States income taxes associated therewith) unless the Transferor has conducted such an investigation.

Re:CSAIL 2015-C3 Commercial Mortgage Trust, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2015-C3, Class [__]

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

This letter is delivered pursuant to Section 5.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of August 1, 2015 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), entered into by Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Securities Corp., as Depositor, Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, on behalf of the holders of Commercial Mortgage Pass Through Certificates, Series 2015-C3 (the “Certificates”) in connection with the transfer by [             ] (the “Seller”) to the undersigned (the “Purchaser”) of $_____ aggregate [Certificate Principal Balance][Notional Amount] of Class [ ] Certificates [representing a [  ]% Percentage Interest in the related Class], in certificated fully registered form (such registered interest, the “Certificate”). Terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

In connection with such transfer, the undersigned hereby represents and warrants to you as follows:

 

[For Institutional Accredited Investors only] 1. The Purchaser is an institutional “accredited investor” (an “Institutional Accredited Investor”), i.e., an entity meeting the requirements of Rule 501 (a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or an entity in which all of the equity owners come within Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D under the Securities Act, and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Certificate, and the Purchaser and any accounts for which the Purchaser is acting are each able to bear the economic risk of our or its investment. The Purchaser is acquiring the Certificate for its own account or for one or more accounts (each

 

Exhibit L-4-1
 

  

of which is an Institutional Accredited Investor), as to each of which the Purchaser exercises sole investment discretion. The Purchaser hereby undertakes to reimburse the Trust for any costs incurred by it in connection with this transfer.

 

[For Qualified Institutional Buyers only] 1. The Purchaser is a “qualified institutional buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A (“Rule 144A”) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Purchaser is aware that the transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, and the Purchaser has had the opportunity to obtain the information required to be provided pursuant to paragraph (d)(4)(i) of Rule 144A.

 

2.     The Purchaser’s intention is to acquire the Certificate (a) for investment for the Purchaser’s own account or (b) for resale to (i) “qualified institutional buyers” in transactions complying with Rule 144A, or (ii) Institutional Accredited Investors under the Securities Act, pursuant to any other exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, subject in the case of this clause (ii) to (a) the receipt by the Certificate Registrar of a letter substantially in the form hereof, (b) the receipt by the Certificate Registrar of an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Certificate Registrar that such reoffer, resale, pledge or transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act, (c) the receipt by the Certificate Registrar of such other evidence acceptable to the Certificate Registrar that such reoffer, resale, pledge or transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act and other applicable laws (including applicable state and foreign securities laws), and (d) a written undertaking to reimburse the Trust for any costs incurred by it in connection with the proposed transfer. It understands that the Certificate (and any subsequent Non-Book Entry Certificate) has not been registered under the Securities Act, by reason of a specified exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the Purchaser’s investment intent (or intent to resell to only certain investors in certain exempted transactions) as expressed herein.

 

3.     The Purchaser acknowledges that the Certificate (and any Certificate issued on transfer or exchange thereof) has not been registered or qualified under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any State or any other jurisdiction, and that the Certificate cannot be reoffered, resold, pledged or otherwise transferred unless it is registered or qualified thereunder or unless an exemption from such registration or qualification is available.

 

4.     The Purchaser has reviewed the applicable Offering Circular dated May 8, 2015, relating to the Certificates (the “Offering Circular”) and the agreements and other materials referred to therein and has had the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Offering Circular.

Information to Be Held in Confidence. You will use the Confidential Information solely for the purpose of determining or monitoring a credit rating on the Certificates and, to the extent that any information used is derived from but does not reveal any Confidential Information, for benchmarking, modeling or research purposes (the “Intended Purpose”).

 

You acknowledge that you are aware that the United States and state securities laws impose restrictions on trading in securities when in possession of material, non-public information and that the NRSRO will advise (through policy manuals or otherwise) each NRSRO Representative who is informed of the matters that are the subject of this Confidentiality Agreement to that effect.

 

You will treat the Confidential Information as private and confidential. Subject to Section 4, without the prior written consent of the applicable Furnishing Entity, you will not disclose to any person any Confidential Information, whether such Confidential Information was furnished to you before, on or after the date of this Confidentiality Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may:

If a Furnishing Entity succeeds in obtaining a protective order or other remedy, you agree to comply with its terms with respect to the disclosure of the Confidential Information, at the sole expense of such Furnishing Entity. If a protective order or other remedy is not obtained or if the relevant Furnishing Entity waives compliance with the provisions of this Confidentiality Agreement in writing, you agree to furnish only such information as you are legally required to disclose, at the sole expense of the relevant Furnishing Entity.

Violations of this Confidentiality Agreement. The NRSRO will be responsible for any breach of this Confidentiality Agreement by you, the NRSRO or any NRSRO Representative.

 

You agree promptly to advise each relevant Furnishing Entity in writing of any misappropriation or unauthorized disclosure or use by any person of the Confidential Information which may come to your attention and to take all steps reasonably requested by such Furnishing Entity to limit, stop or otherwise remedy such misappropriation, or unauthorized disclosure or use.

The Transferee will not act, nor has it authorized or will it authorize any Person to act, in any manner set forth in the foregoing sentence with respect to the Excess Servicing Fee Right, any interest in the Excess Servicing Fee Right or any other similar security.

such information, and to cause its officers, directors, partners, employees, agents or representatives (collectively, “Representatives”) not to disclose such information, in any manner whatsoever, in whole or in part, to any other Person other than the Transferee’s auditors, legal counsel and regulators, except to the extent such disclosure is required by law, court order or other legal requirement or to the extent such information is of public knowledge at the time of disclosure by such Person or has become generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by such Person; provided, however, that the Transferee or any of its Representatives may provide all or any part of such information to any other Person who is contemplating an acquisition of the Excess Servicing Fee Right if, and only if, such other Person (x) confirms in writing such prospective acquisition and (y) agrees in writing to keep such information confidential, not to use or disclose such information in any manner which could result in a violation of any provision of the Securities Act or would require registration of the Excess Servicing Fee Right or any Certificates pursuant to the Securities Act and not to disclose such information, and to cause its officers, directors, partners, employees, agents or representatives not to disclose such information, in any manner whatsoever, in whole or in part, to any other Person other than such other Persons’ auditors, legal counsel and regulators.

We hereby notify you and confirm that each of the following is true, subject to those exceptions, if any, set forth on Exhibit A hereto, which exceptions the Master Servicer has determined, consistent with the Servicing Standard, will have no material adverse effect on the Mortgage Loan or the defeasance transaction:

 

1.             The Mortgagor has consummated a defeasance of the Mortgage Loan of the type checked below:**

 

____ a full defeasance of the entire outstanding principal balance ($____________) of the Mortgage Loan; or

 

____ a partial defeasance of a portion ($____________) of the Mortgage Loan that represents ___% of the entire principal balance of the Mortgage Loan ($____________).

 

2.             The defeasance was consummated on ____________, 20__.

 

3.             The defeasance was completed in all material respects in accordance with the conditions for defeasance specified in the Loan Documents and in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

 

[Include the following if there is pari passu or AB debt:

 

4.             In accordance with the Loan Documents, the defeasance occurred such that:

 

____ Promissory Notes A and B were defeased simultaneously in their entirety; or

 

____ Promissory Note B was paid off in full.]

 

5.             To the knowledge of the Master Servicer any other debt related to the Mortgage Loan (including mezzanine debt, senior secured debt, pari passu debt or subordinate secured debt was either paid off in full or defeased. Such debt consists of the following: [Describe debt and holder of the debt and if it was paid off or defeased].

 

6.             The defeasance collateral consists only of one or more of the following: (i) direct debt obligations of the U.S. Treasury, (ii) direct debt obligations of the Federal National Mortgage Association, (iii) direct debt obligations of the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, (iv) interest-only direct debt obligations of the Resolution Funding Corporation, (v) consolidated debt obligations of the Federal Home Loan Bank or (vi) securities covered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s (the “FDIC”) Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program (“TLGP”). Based upon a written report from an independent certified accountant, such

 

Exhibit DD-2
 

 

defeasance collateral consists of securities that (i) if they include a principal obligation, the principal due at maturity cannot vary or change, (ii) provide for interest at a fixed rate and (iii) are not callable prior to their respective maturity dates. In addition, if the defeasance collateral contains any TLGP securities, then:

 

·Such securities are eligible under TLGP;

 

·The master servicer (and the trustee, if it serves as the back-up advancing agent for the transaction) has waived its right to (i) collect interest on advances made on behalf of the borrower holding TLGP securities, and (ii) collect for expenses incurred in making demand on the FDIC;

 

·If the TLGP debt is to be used to satisfy a balloon payment, a reserve conforming to the criteria for eligible accounts was funded with a minimum of 90 days interest on the defeasance collateral to cover potential delays in receipt of the balloon payment;

 

·The TLGP securities mature before June 30, 2012; and

 

·The master servicer’s error and omissions insurance policy covers losses to the CMBS trust caused by the master servicer’s failure to make timely demand on the FDIC’s guarantee.

 

7.             After the defeasance, the defeasance collateral will be owned by an entity (the “Defeasance Obligor”) that: (i) is the original Mortgagor, (ii) is a Single-Purpose Entity (as described in S&P’s criteria), (iii) is subject to restrictions in its organizational documents substantially similar to those contained in the organizational documents of the original Mortgagor with respect to bankruptcy remoteness and single purpose, (iv) has been designated as the Defeasance Obligor by the originator of the Mortgage Loan pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents, or (v) has previously received confirmation from Standard & Poor’s that the organizational documents of such Defeasance Obligor conform with applicable Standard & Poor’s criteria. The Defeasance Obligor owns no assets other than defeasance collateral and (only in the case of the original Mortgagor) real property securing one or more Mortgage Loans included in the pool under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the “Pool”).

 

8.             If such Defeasance Obligor (together with its affiliates) holds more than one defeased loan, it does not (together with its affiliates) hold defeased loans aggregating more than $35 Million or more than five percent (5%) of the aggregate certificate balance of the Certificates, as of the date of the most recent Paying Agent’s Monthly Certificateholder Report received by the Master Servicer (the “Current Report”), except to the extent the Defeasance Obligor is of the type specified in paragraph 7(v) above or the original Loan Documents do not limit the amount of defeased loans that it may hold.

 

9.             The defeasance documents require that the defeasance collateral be credited to an eligible account (as defined in S&P’s criteria) that must be maintained as a securities account by a securities intermediary that is at all times an Eligible Institution (as defined in S&P’s criteria). The securities intermediary may reinvest proceeds of the defeasance

 

Exhibit DD-3
 

 

collateral only in Permitted Investments (as defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or as defined in the documents evidencing defeasance).

 

10.           The securities intermediary is obligated to pay from the proceeds of the defeasance collateral, directly to the Master Servicer’s collection account, all scheduled payments on the Mortgage Loan or, in a partial defeasance, the portion of such scheduled payments attributed to the allocated loan amount for the real property defeased including any defeasance premiums set forth in the loan documents (the “Scheduled Payments”).

 

11.           The Master Servicer received written confirmation from an independent certified public accountant stating that (i) revenues from the defeasance collateral (without taking into account any earnings on reinvestment of such revenues) will be sufficient to timely pay each of the Scheduled Payments including the payment in full of the Mortgage Loan (or the allocated portion thereof in connection with a partial defeasance) on its Maturity Date (or, in the case of an ARD Loan, on its Anticipated Repayment Date), (ii) except as otherwise disclosed in the written report from an independent certified public accountant, [and disclosed below,] the revenues received in any month from the defeasance collateral will be applied to make Scheduled Payments within four (4) months after the date of receipt, (iii) the defeasance collateral is not callable prior to their respective maturity dates, and (iv) interest income from the defeasance collateral to the Defeasance Obligor in any tax year will not exceed such Defeasance Obligor’s interest expense for the Mortgage Loan (or the allocated portion thereof in a partial defeasance) for such year, other than in the year in which the Maturity Date or Anticipated Repayment Date will occur, when interest income will exceed interest expense.

 

12.           The Master Servicer received opinions of counsel that, subject to customary qualifications, (i) the defeasance will not cause the Trust to fail to qualify as a REMIC for purpose of the Internal Revenue Code, (ii) the agreements executed by the Mortgagor and the Defeasance Obligor in connection with the defeasance are enforceable against them in accordance with their terms, [and] (iii) the Trustee will have a perfected, first priority security interest in the defeasance collateral.

 

13.           The agreements executed in connection with the defeasance (i) prohibit subordinate liens against the defeasance collateral, (ii) provide for payment from sources other than the defeasance collateral of all fees and expenses of the securities intermediary for administering the defeasance and the securities account and all fees and expenses of maintaining the existence of the Defeasance Obligor, (iii) permit release of surplus defeasance collateral and earnings on reinvestment to the Defeasance Obligor only after the Mortgage Loan has been paid in full, (iv) include representations and/or covenants of the Mortgagor and/or securities intermediary substantially as set forth on Exhibit B hereto, (v) provide for survival of such representations; and (vi) do not permit waiver of such representations and covenants.

 

14.           The outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan immediately before the defeasance was less than $35,000,000 and less than 5% of the aggregate certificate balance of the Certificates as of the date of the Current Report. The Mortgage Loan is not one of the ten (10) largest loans in the Pool as of the date of the Current Report.

15.           Copies of all material agreements, instruments, organizational documents, opinions of counsel, accountant’s report and other items delivered in connection with the defeasance will be provided to you upon request.

In addition, with respect to each Mortgage Loan (exclusive of a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan) under which any Additional Collateral is in the form of a Letter of Credit as of the Closing Date, the parties acknowledge that the related Mortgage Loan Seller is contractually obligated to cause to be prepared, executed and delivered to the issuer of each such Letter of

 

118
 

 

Credit such notices, assignments and acknowledgments as are required under such Letter of Credit to assign, without recourse, to the Trustee the related Mortgage Loan Seller’s rights as the beneficiary thereof and drawing party thereunder. Furthermore, with respect to each Mortgage Loan (exclusive of a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan), if any, as to which there exists a secured creditor impaired property insurance policy or pollution limited liability environmental impairment policy covering the related Mortgaged Property, the related Mortgage Loan Seller is contractually obligated to cause such policy, within a reasonable period following the Closing Date, to inure to the benefit of the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders (if and to the extent that it does not by its terms automatically inure to the holder of such Mortgage Loan). The Depositor shall deliver to the Trustee and the Custodian on or before the Closing Date a fully executed counterpart of each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. With respect to a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan, the parties hereto acknowledge the provisions of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in which the related Mortgage Loan Seller represents, warrants and covenants to the effect that the documents described in clauses (ii), (iii) and (xi) of the definition of “Mortgage File” and documents comparable to those described in clauses (iv), (vi) and (ix)(B) of the definition of “Mortgage File” have been delivered to the related Non-Trust Trustee or Non-Trust Custodian, except to the extent that the absence of such document does not constitute a breach pursuant to the terms of the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement. In addition, with respect to a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan, the parties hereto acknowledge the provisions of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement in which the related Mortgage Loan Seller agrees that any “Document Defect” (or analogous term) as such term is defined in the applicable Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall constitute a Document Defect under the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement; provided that the foregoing shall not apply if any such “Document Defect” relates solely to the promissory note for any related Non-Serviced Companion Loan. None of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Trust Advisor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be liable for any failure by any Mortgage Loan Seller to comply with the document delivery requirements of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.

 

(e)          The parties hereto acknowledge that, except in the case of a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan, each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement requires the related Mortgage Loan Seller, or its designee, to itself submit, or cause to be submitted, (i) each assignment of Mortgage and assignment of Assignment of Leases in favor of the Trustee referred to in clause (iv) of the definition of “Mortgage File” and (ii) each assignment of UCC Financing Statement in favor of the Trustee referred to in clause (ix)(B) of the definition of “Mortgage File”, for recording or filing to the extent that they are related to Mortgage Loans for which it is the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller. Each such assignment shall reflect that it should be returned by the public recording office to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee, and such Mortgage Loan Seller has agreed in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to deliver or cause the delivery of each such assignment to the Custodian (with a copy thereof to the Master Servicer)) following recording, and each such assignment of UCC Financing Statement shall reflect that the file copy thereof or an appropriate receipt therefor, as applicable, should be returned to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee, and such Mortgage Loan Seller has agreed in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to deliver or cause the delivery of each such assignment to the Custodian (with a copy thereof to the Master Servicer) following filing; provided that in those instances where the public recording office retains the original assignment of Mortgage or assignment of Assignment of Leases, the applicable Mortgage Loan

 

119
 

 

Seller has agreed to obtain therefrom a copy of the recorded original and is required to provide a copy of such recorded original to the Custodian (with a copy to the Master Servicer). The parties hereto further acknowledge that, except in the case of a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan, each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement requires the related Mortgage Loan Seller, if any such document or instrument is lost or returned unrecorded or unfiled, as the case may be, because of a defect therein, to prepare or cause to be prepared promptly a substitute therefor or cure such defect, as the case may be, and thereafter cause the same to be duly recorded or filed, as appropriate.

 

(f)          In connection with the Depositor’s assignment pursuant to Section 2.01(b) above, the parties acknowledge that each Mortgage Loan Seller is contractually obligated, at such Mortgage Loan Seller’s expense, pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, to deliver to and deposit with, or cause to be delivered to and deposited with, the Master Servicer, on or before the Closing Date: (i) a copy of the Mortgage File for each Original Mortgage Loan (except that copies of instruments of assignment shall be forwarded by the Custodian upon request when the originals are returned to the Custodian in accordance with Section 2.01(e) above); (ii) originals or copies of all financial statements, appraisals, environmental reports, engineering reports, transaction screens, seismic assessment reports, leases, rent rolls, Insurance Policies and certificates, major space leases, legal opinions and tenant estoppels and any other relevant documents relating to the origination and servicing of any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination that are reasonably necessary for the ongoing administration and/or servicing of the applicable Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination in the possession or under the control of such Mortgage Loan Seller that relate to the Original Mortgage Loans transferred by it to the Depositor and, to the extent that any original documents or copies, as applicable, of the following documents are not required to be a part of a Mortgage File for any such Original Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, originals or copies of all documents, certificates and opinions in the possession or under the control of such Mortgage Loan Seller that were delivered by or on behalf of the related Borrowers in connection with the origination of such Original Mortgage Loans (provided that such Mortgage Loan Seller shall not be required to deliver any attorney-client privileged communication, draft documents or any documents or materials prepared by it or its Affiliates for internal uses, including without limitation, credit committee briefs or memoranda and other internal approval documents); and (iii) all unapplied Reserve Funds and Escrow Payments in the possession or under the control of such Mortgage Loan Seller that relate to the Original Mortgage Loans transferred by such Mortgage Loan Seller to the Depositor. The Master Servicer (or a Sub-Servicer on its behalf) shall hold all such documents, records and funds that it so receives on behalf of the Trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders (and the Trustee as holder of the Class A-S Regular Interest, Class B Regular Interest and Class C Regular Interest) and, insofar as they also relate to any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, on behalf of and for the benefit of any and all related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s).

 

(g)         With respect to the Mortgage Loans identified as Loan Nos. 2, 4, 6, 23, 25, 29, 33, 43, 49, 50, 53, 55, 59 and 63 on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, which are each subject to a franchise agreement with a related comfort letter (or, in the case of the Mortgage Loan identified as Loan No. 53 on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, other related document or agreement) in favor of the respective Mortgage Loan Seller, the related Mortgage Loan Seller or its agent will be required to, within 60 days of the Closing Date (or any shorter period if required by the

 

120
 

 

applicable comfort letter), notify the related franchisor that each such Mortgage Loan has been transferred to the Trust and, unless only notice to the related franchisor is required, request a replacement comfort letter (or any such new document or acknowledgement as may be contemplated under the existing comfort letter), and deliver to the Master Servicer a copy of each such notice and request and the existing comfort letters (or, in the case of the Mortgage Loan identified as Loan No. 53 on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, other related document or agreement), and the Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts in accordance with the Servicing Standard to acquire such replacement comfort letter, if necessary (or to acquire any such new document or acknowledgement as may be contemplated under the existing comfort letter). If the Master Servicer is unable to acquire any such replacement comfort letter (or new document or acknowledgement, as applicable) within 120 days of the Closing Date, the Master Servicer will notify the related Mortgage Loan Seller that no such replacement comfort letter (or new document or acknowledgement, as applicable) has been received.

 

Section 2.02     Acceptance of Mortgage Loans by Trustee. (a) Subject to the other provisions in this Section 2.02, the Trustee, by its execution and delivery of this Agreement, hereby accepts receipt on behalf of the Trust, through the Custodian on its behalf, of (i) the Original Mortgage Loans and all documents delivered to the Custodian that constitute portions of the related Mortgage Files and (ii) all other assets delivered to the Custodian and included in the Trust Fund, in good faith and without notice of any adverse claim. The Custodian declares that it holds and will hold such documents and any other documents received by it that constitute portions of the Mortgage Files, and that it holds and will hold the Original Mortgage Loans and such other assets, together with any other Mortgage Loans and assets subsequently delivered to it that are to be included in the Trust Fund, in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders and the Trustee (as holder of the Class A-S Regular Interest, Class B Regular Interest and Class C Regular Interest). To the extent that the Mortgage File relates to a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Serviced Loan Combination, the Custodian shall also hold such Mortgage File in trust for the use and benefit of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s). The Master Servicer acknowledges receipt of all of the original Letters of Credit relating to the Mortgage Loans or Serviced Loan Combination delivered to it (copies of which are part of the Mortgage File) and agrees to hold such Letters of Credit in trust for the benefit of the Trustee. In connection with the foregoing, the Custodian hereby certifies to each of the other parties hereto, each Mortgage Loan Seller and each Underwriter that, as to each Mortgage Loan, except as specifically identified in the Schedule of Exceptions to Mortgage File Delivery attached hereto as Schedule II, (i) all documents specified in clause (i) of the definition of “Mortgage File” are in its possession, and (ii) the original Mortgage Note (or, if accompanied by a lost note affidavit and indemnity, the copy of such Mortgage Note) received by it with respect to such Mortgage Loan has been reviewed by it and (A) appears regular on its face (handwritten additions, changes or corrections shall not constitute irregularities if initialed by the Borrower), (B) appears to have been executed (where appropriate) and (C) purports to relate to such Mortgage Loan. The Custodian may rely on the purported due execution and genuineness of any such document and on the purported genuineness of any signature thereon.

 

(b)          On or about the 75th day following the Closing Date, the Custodian shall review the documents delivered to it with respect to each Original Mortgage Loan, and the Custodian shall, subject to Sections 1.04, 2.02(c) and 2.02(d), certify in writing (and, if any exceptions are noted or if the recordation/filing contemplated by Section 2.01(e) has not been completed (based

 

121
 

 

solely on receipt by the Custodian of the particular documents showing evidence of the recordation/filing), the Custodian shall deliver updates to any exception list attached to such certification in accordance with the penultimate sentence of this paragraph (which exception list shall also be delivered in Excel-compatible format)) to each of the other parties hereto (substantially in the form of Exhibit M), the Mortgage Loan Sellers, any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders (in each case, provided that the Custodian has received notice of the identity of and notice address information for such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder), the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder and the Subordinate Class Representative that, as to each Original Mortgage Loan then subject to this Agreement (except as specifically identified in any exception report annexed to such certification): (i) the original Mortgage Note specified in clause (i) of the definition of “Mortgage File” and all allonges thereto, if any (or a copy of such Mortgage Note, together with a lost note affidavit and indemnity) and, except with respect to a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan, the original or copy of documents specified in clauses (ii), (iii), (iv), (viii) (without regard to the verification of the effective date with respect to a title policy or the date of funding with respect to a title commitment), (x) (if the Mortgage Loan Schedule specifies that a material portion of the interest of the Borrower in the related Mortgaged Property consists of a leasehold interest) and (xx) (if the Mortgage Loan Schedule specifies that the Mortgaged Property type is a hospitality property) of the definition of “Mortgage File” have been received by it; (ii) if such report is due more than 180 days after the Closing Date, the recordation/filing contemplated by Section 2.01(e) has been completed (based solely on receipt by the Custodian of the particular recorded/filed documents or an appropriate receipt of recording/filing therefor); (iii) all documents received by it with respect to such Mortgage Loan have been reviewed by it and (A) appear regular on their face (handwritten additions, changes or corrections shall not constitute irregularities if initialed by the Borrower), (B) appear to have been executed and (C) purport to relate to such Mortgage Loan; and (iv) based on the examinations referred to in Section 2.02(a) above and this Section 2.02(b) and only as to the foregoing documents, the information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule with respect to the items specified in clause (iv)(A) and clause (vi) of the definition of “Mortgage Loan Schedule” accurately reflects the information set forth in the related Mortgage File. Every ninety (90) days after such 75th day following the Closing Date, until the earlier of (i) the date on which such exceptions are eliminated and such recordation/filing has been completed, and (ii) the date on which all the affected Mortgage Loans are removed from the Trust Fund, the Custodian shall deliver electronically (including in Excel-compatible format) to each of the other parties hereto, to the Mortgage Loan Sellers, any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders, the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder and the Subordinate Class Representative an update to the exception report annexed to the certification described above substantially in the form of Exhibit M, which update shall report any remaining outstanding exceptions with respect to each Original Mortgage Loan. Such delivery shall be deemed to constitute a certification of the substance of the matters set forth in the form of such Exhibit M (except as set forth in such exception report). The Master Servicer shall provide the contact name, mailing address and e-mail address of any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder to the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Custodian and the Certificate Administrator to the extent not previously provided thereto, provided that the Master Servicer has such information. The contact name, mailing address and e-mail address of each initial Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder is set forth on Schedule IX hereto.

 

122
 

 

(c)          If a Responsible Repurchase Party substitutes a Replacement Mortgage Loan for any Defective Mortgage Loan as contemplated by Section 2.03, the Custodian shall review the documents delivered to it with respect to such Replacement Mortgage Loan, and the Custodian shall deliver a certification comparable to that described in the prior paragraph, in respect of such Replacement Mortgage Loan, on or about the 30th day following the related date of substitution (and, if any exceptions are noted, every ninety (90) days thereafter until the earlier of (i) the date on which such exceptions are eliminated and all related recording/filing has been completed, and (ii) the date on which such Replacement Mortgage Loan is removed from the Trust Fund).

 

With respect to the documents described in clause (iii) of the definition of “Mortgage File”, absent actual knowledge to the contrary, the Custodian may assume, for purposes of the certification(s) delivered in this Section 2.02(c) or to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.02(b), that the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan includes a separate Assignment of Leases.

 

With respect to the documents described in clause (ix) of the definition of “Mortgage File”, absent actual knowledge to the contrary or copies of UCC Financing Statements delivered to the Custodian as part of the Mortgage File indicating otherwise, the Custodian may assume, for purposes of the certification(s) to be delivered pursuant to this Section 2.02(c), that the Mortgage File for each Mortgage Loan should include a copy of one state-level UCC Financing Statement filed in the state of incorporation or organization of the related Borrower for each Mortgaged Property (or with respect to any Mortgage Loan that has two or more Borrowers, for each related Borrower). To the extent appropriate under applicable law, the UCC Financing Statements to be assigned to the Trustee will be delivered on the new national forms and in recordable form and will be filed in the state of incorporation or organization as so indicated on the documents provided.

 

(d)          None of the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, any Sub-Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Custodian or the Trust Advisor is under any duty or obligation to (i) determine whether any of the documents specified in clauses (iii), (iv)(B), (v), (vi), (vii), (ix) and (xi) through (xviii) of the definition of “Mortgage File” exist or are required to be delivered by the Mortgage Loan Sellers in respect of any Mortgage Loan unless such item(s) are specified on the related Mortgage File Checklist, or (ii) inspect, review or examine any of the documents, instruments, certificates or other papers relating to the Mortgage Loans delivered to it to determine that the same are valid, legal, effective, genuine, binding, enforceable, sufficient or appropriate for the represented purpose or that they are other than what they purport to be on their face. Furthermore, except as expressly provided in Section 2.01(e), none of the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, any Sub-Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Custodian or the Trust Advisor shall have any responsibility for determining whether the text of any assignment or endorsement is in proper or recordable form, whether the requisite recording of any document is in accordance with the requirements of any applicable jurisdiction, or whether a blanket assignment is permitted in any applicable jurisdiction.

 

(e)          In performing the reviews contemplated by subsections (a) and (b) above, the Custodian may conclusively rely on the purported due execution and genuineness of any such document and any signature thereon. It is understood that the scope of the Custodian’s review of the Mortgage Files is limited solely to confirming that the documents specified in clauses (i), (ii),

 

123
 

 

(iii), (iv) (except with respect to a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan), (viii) (without regard to the verification of the effective date with respect to a title policy or the date of funding with respect to a title commitment), (x) (if the Mortgage Loan Schedule specifies that a material portion of the interest of the Borrower in the related Mortgaged Property consists of a leasehold interest) and (xx) (if the Mortgage Loan Schedule specifies that the Mortgaged Property type is a hospitality property) of the definition of “Mortgage File” have been received by it and such additional information as will be necessary for delivering the certifications required by subsections (a) and (b) above.

 

Section 2.03     Certain Repurchases and Substitutions of Mortgage Loans by the Responsible Repurchase Parties. (a) If, in the process of reviewing the documents delivered or caused to be delivered by the Mortgage Loan Sellers as contemplated by Section 2.01(d), the Custodian discovers that any document required to have been delivered as contemplated by Section 2.01(d) has not been so delivered, or discovers that any of the documents that were delivered has not been properly executed, contains information that does not conform in any material respect with the corresponding information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule, or is defective on its face (each, including, without limitation, that a document is missing, a “Document Defect”), or if, at any other time, the Custodian or any other party hereto discovers (without implying that any such party has a duty to make or attempt to make such discovery) a Document Defect in respect of any Mortgage Loan, the party discovering such Document Defect shall promptly so notify each of the other parties hereto. If any party hereto discovers (without implying that any such party has a duty to make or attempt to make such discovery) or receives notice of a breach of any representation or warranty relating to any Mortgage Loan set forth in or made pursuant to Section 4(b) or 4(g) of any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (a “Breach”), such party shall promptly so notify each of the other parties hereto. Upon a Responsible Officer of the Trustee obtaining actual knowledge, or the Trustee’s receipt of notice, that a Document Defect or Breach exists with respect to any Mortgage Loan, the Trustee shall notify the Subordinate Class Representative, the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the related Responsible Repurchase Party and the Rating Agencies.

 

(b)          Promptly upon its actual knowledge of any Material Document Defect or Material Breach with respect to any Mortgage Loan or its receipt of notice from the Trustee or any other party to this Agreement of a Material Document Defect or Material Breach the Master Servicer, if relating to a Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan, or the Special Servicer, if relating to a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, shall notify the related Responsible Repurchase Party in writing (in each case, with a copy to the Depositor) of such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, and direct such Responsible Repurchase Party that it must, not later than (1) ninety (90) days from discovery of the subject Material Document Defect or Material Breach by the Responsible Repurchase Party, or (2) ninety (90) days from the receipt by such Responsible Repurchase Party of such notice (or, if (x) such Material Breach or Material Document Defect, as the case may be, relates to whether such Mortgage Loan is or, as of the Closing Date (or, in the case of a Replacement Mortgage Loan, as of the related date of substitution), was a Qualified Mortgage, and (y) such Responsible Repurchase Party discovered or received prompt written notice of the relation specified in clause (x), then (z) within ninety (90) days after any earlier discovery by the Responsible Repurchase Party or any party to this Agreement of such Material Breach or Material Document Defect, as the case may be) (such 90-

 

124
 

 

day period, in any case, the “Initial Resolution Period”), correct or cure such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, in all material respects, or repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan (as, if and to the extent required by the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement), at the applicable Purchase Price; provided that if such Responsible Repurchase Party certifies to the Trustee in writing (i) that such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, does not relate to whether the affected Mortgage Loan is or, as of the Closing Date (or, in the case of a Replacement Mortgage Loan, as of the related date of substitution), was a Qualified Mortgage, (ii) that such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, is capable of being cured but not within the applicable Initial Resolution Period, (iii) that such Responsible Repurchase Party has commenced and is diligently proceeding with the cure of such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, during the applicable Initial Resolution Period, (iv) in the case of a Material Document Defect, that (x) the related Mortgage Loan is not, at the end of the Initial Resolution Period, then a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and a Servicing Transfer Event has not occurred as a result of a monetary default or as described in clause (e), (f) or (g) of the definition of “Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan” in this Agreement and (y) the Material Document Defect was not identified in a certification delivered to the Mortgage Loan Seller by the Custodian pursuant to Section 2.02 not less than ninety (90) days prior to the delivery of the notice of such Material Document Defect, and (v) that such Responsible Repurchase Party anticipates that such Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, will be cured within an additional 90-day period (such additional 90-day period, the “Resolution Extension Period”) (a copy of which certification shall be delivered by the Trustee to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Subordinate Class Representative, the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder and the Rating Agencies), then such Responsible Repurchase Party shall have an additional period equal to the Resolution Extension Period to complete such correction or cure (or, upon failure to complete such correction or cure, for the applicable Responsible Repurchase Party to repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan); and provided, further, however, that, in lieu of repurchasing the affected Mortgage Loan as contemplated above (but, in any event, no later than such repurchase would have to have been completed), the applicable Responsible Repurchase Party shall be permitted, during the three-month period commencing on the Startup Day for the REMIC Pool that holds the affected Mortgage Loan (or during the two-year period commencing on such Startup Day if the affected Mortgage Loan is a “defective obligation” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(4)(B)(ii) of the Code and Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(f)), to replace the affected Mortgage Loan with one or more Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loans and to pay a cash amount equal to the applicable Substitution Shortfall Amount, subject to any other applicable terms and conditions of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement and this Agreement. The parties hereto agree that delivery by the Custodian of a certification or schedule of exceptions to a Mortgage Loan Seller or Responsible Repurchase Party shall not in and of itself constitute delivery of notice of any Material Document Defect or knowledge of such Mortgage Loan Seller or Responsible Repurchase Party of any Material Document Defect. If any Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased or replaced as contemplated by this Section 2.03, the Master Servicer shall designate the Collection Account as the account to which funds in the amount of the applicable Purchase Price or Substitution Shortfall Amount (as the case may be) are to be wired, and the Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator when such deposit is made. Any such repurchase or replacement of a Mortgage Loan shall be on a whole loan, servicing released basis. Notwithstanding this Section 2.03(b),

 

125
 

 

the absence from the Mortgage File, (i) on the Closing Date of the Mortgage Note (or a lost note affidavit and indemnity with a copy of the Mortgage Note) and (ii) by the first anniversary of the Closing Date, of originals or copies of any other Specially Designated Mortgage Loan Document (without the presence of any factor that reasonably mitigates such absence, nonconformity or irregularity) shall (if the absence results from the related Mortgage Loan Seller’s failure to deliver such Specially Designated Mortgage Loan Document in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement) be conclusively presumed to be a Material Document Defect and shall obligate the party discovering such absence to give the Trustee prompt notice, whereupon the Trustee shall notify the applicable Responsible Repurchase Party (with a copy to the Depositor) to cure such Material Document Defect, or, failing that, repurchase or replace the related Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan, all in accordance with the procedures set forth, and to the extent permitted, herein and in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. Notwithstanding this Section 2.03(b), in the event of any Breach described in the second paragraph of Section 5(d) of any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the remedy described in such second paragraph of such Section 5(d) shall constitute the sole remedy available to the Trustee and any other affected Person with respect to such Breach. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Custodian shall have any obligation to review or approve any condition or requirement contemplated hereunder in connection with any repurchase, removal, addition, or substitution.

 

The remedies provided for in this Section 2.03(b) with respect to any Material Document Defect or Material Breach with respect to any Mortgage Loan shall apply to the related REO Property.

 

If (x) a Defective Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased or replaced as described above, (y) such Defective Mortgage Loan is part of a Cross-Collateralized Group and (z) the applicable Document Defect or Breach does not constitute a Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, as to the other Mortgage Loan(s) that are a part of such Cross-Collateralized Group (the “Other Crossed Loans”) (without regard to this paragraph), then the applicable Document Defect or Breach (as the case may be) shall be deemed to constitute a Material Document Defect or Material Breach (as the case may be) as to each such Other Crossed Loan for purposes of the above provisions, and the related Responsible Repurchase Party shall be obligated to repurchase or replace each such Other Crossed Loan in accordance with the provisions above unless, in the case of such Breach or Document Defect:

 

(A)          the related Responsible Repurchase Party (at its expense) delivers or causes to be delivered to the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such Responsible Repurchase Party’s repurchase of only those Mortgage Loans as to which a Material Document Defect or Material Breach has actually occurred without regard to the provisions of this paragraph (the “Affected Loan(s)”) and the operation of the remaining provisions of this Section 2.03(b) will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event or any Adverse Grantor Trust Event hereunder; and

(B)          each of the following conditions would be satisfied if the related Responsible Repurchase Party were to repurchase or replace only the Affected Loans and not the Other Crossed Loans:

 

(I)          the debt service coverage ratio for such Other Crossed Loan(s) (excluding the Affected Loan(s)) for the four calendar quarters immediately preceding the repurchase or replacement is not less than the least of (A) 0.10x below the debt service coverage ratio for the Cross-Collateralized Group (including the Affected Loan(s)) set forth in Annex A-1 to the Prospectus Supplement, (B) the debt service coverage ratio for the Cross-Collateralized Group (including the Affected Loan(s)) for the four preceding calendar quarters preceding the repurchase or replacement and (C) 1.25x;

 

(II)        the loan-to-value ratio for the Other Crossed Loans is not greater than the greatest of (A) the loan-to-value ratio, expressed as a whole number percentage (taken to one decimal place), for the Cross-Collateralized Group (including the Affected Loan(s)) set forth in Annex A-1 to the Prospectus Supplement plus 10%, (B) the loan-to-value ratio, expressed as a whole number percentage (taken to one decimal place), for the Cross-Collateralized Group (including the Affected Loan(s)) at the time of repurchase or replacement and (C) 75%; and

 

(III)       the exercise of remedies against the Primary Collateral of any Mortgage Loan in the Cross-Collateralized Group shall not impair the ability to exercise remedies against the Primary Collateral of the other Mortgage Loans in the Cross-Collateralized Group.

 

The determination of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, as to whether the conditions set forth above have been satisfied shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error. The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, will be entitled to cause to be delivered, or direct the related Responsible Repurchase Party to cause to be delivered, to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, an Appraisal of any or all of the related Mortgaged Properties for purposes of determining whether the condition set forth in clause (II) above has been satisfied, in each case at the expense of the related Responsible Repurchase Party if the scope and cost of the Appraisal is approved by the related Responsible Repurchase Party and the Subordinate Class Representative (other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan) (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld in each case).

 

With respect to any Defective Mortgage Loan that forms a part of a Cross-Collateralized Group and as to which the conditions described in the preceding paragraph are satisfied, such that the Trust Fund will continue to hold the Other Crossed Loans, the related Responsible Repurchase Party and the Trustee, as successor to the Depositor, are bound by an agreement (set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement) to forbear from enforcing any remedies against the other’s Primary Collateral but each is permitted to exercise remedies against the Primary Collateral securing its respective Mortgage Loans, including with respect to the Trustee, the Primary Collateral securing the Affected Loan(s) still held by the Trustee. If the exercise of

 

127
 

 

remedies by one such party would impair the ability of the other such party to exercise its remedies with respect to the Primary Collateral securing the Affected Loan or the Other Crossed Loans, as the case may be, held by the other such party, then both parties have agreed to forbear from exercising such remedies unless and until the Mortgage Loan Documents evidencing and securing the relevant Mortgage Loans can be modified in a manner that complies with the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to remove the threat of impairment as a result of the exercise of remedies. Any reserve or other cash collateral or Letters of Credit securing any of the Mortgage Loans that form a Cross-Collateralized Group shall be allocated between such Mortgage Loans in accordance with the Mortgage Loan Documents, or otherwise on a pro rata basis based upon their outstanding Stated Principal Balances. All other terms of the Mortgage Loans shall remain in full force and effect, without any modification thereof. The provisions of this paragraph shall be binding on all future holders of each Mortgage Loan that forms part of a Cross-Collateralized Group.

 

To the extent necessary and appropriate, the Trustee shall execute (or, subject to Section 3.01(b) and Section 3.10, provide the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, with a limited power of attorney that enables the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to execute) the modification of the Mortgage Loan Documents that complies with the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement to remove the threat of impairment of the ability of the Responsible Repurchase Party or the Trust Fund to exercise its remedies with respect to the Primary Collateral securing the Mortgage Loan(s) held by such party resulting from the exercise of remedies by the other such party; provided that the Trustee shall not be responsible or liable for any negligence with respect to, or any willful misuse of, any such power of attorney by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable. The Master Servicer shall advance all costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee and the Master Servicer with respect to any Cross-Collateralized Group pursuant to this paragraph, and such advances and interest thereon shall (i) constitute and be reimbursable as Servicing Advances and (ii) be included in the calculation of Purchase Price for the Mortgage Loan(s) to be repurchased or replaced. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be liable to any Certificateholder or any other party hereto if a modification of the Mortgage Loan Documents described above cannot be effected for any reason beyond the control of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, respectively.

 

The reasonable “out-of-pocket” costs and expenses incurred by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and/or the Custodian pursuant to this Section 2.03(b), including reasonable attorney fees and expenses, shall constitute Servicing Advances to the extent not collected from the related Responsible Repurchase Party.

 

(c)          Whenever one or more Replacement Mortgage Loans are substituted for a Defective Mortgage Loan by a Mortgage Loan Seller as contemplated by this Section 2.03, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall direct the party effecting the substitution to deliver to the Custodian the related Mortgage File and a certification to the effect that such Replacement Mortgage Loan satisfies or such Replacement Mortgage Loans satisfy, as the case may be, all of the requirements of the definition of “Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan”. No mortgage loan may be substituted for a Defective Mortgage Loan as contemplated by this Section 2.03 if the Mortgage Loan to be replaced was itself a Replacement Mortgage Loan, in which case, absent a cure of the relevant Material Breach or Material Document Defect, the

 

128
 

 

affected Mortgage Loan will be required to be repurchased as contemplated hereby. Monthly Payments due with respect to each Replacement Mortgage Loan (if any) after the related date of substitution, and Monthly Payments due with respect to each corresponding Deleted Mortgage Loan (if any) after its respective Cut-off Date and on or prior to the related date of substitution, shall be part of the Trust Fund. Monthly Payments due with respect to each Replacement Mortgage Loan (if any) on or prior to the related date of substitution, and Monthly Payments due with respect to each corresponding Deleted Mortgage Loan (if any) after the related date of substitution, shall not be part of the Trust Fund and are to be remitted by the Master Servicer to the party effecting the related substitution promptly following receipt.

 

If any Mortgage Loan is to be repurchased or replaced by a Responsible Repurchase Party as contemplated by this Section 2.03, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall direct such party to amend the Mortgage Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of any Deleted Mortgage Loan and, if applicable, the substitution of the related Replacement Mortgage Loan(s); and, upon its receipt of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall deliver or cause the delivery of such amended Mortgage Loan Schedule to the other parties hereto. Upon any substitution of one or more Replacement Mortgage Loans for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, such Replacement Mortgage Loan(s) shall become part of the Trust Fund and be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects.

 

The reasonable “out-of-pocket” costs and expenses incurred by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and/or the Custodian pursuant to this Section 2.03(c), including reasonable attorney fees and expenses, shall constitute Servicing Advances to the extent not collected from the related Responsible Repurchase Party.

 

(d)          The Special Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer in writing of the amount of the Purchase Price or Substitution Shortfall Amount (as the case may be) for any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan to be repurchased or replaced by the related Responsible Repurchase Party as contemplated by this Section 2.03 and the Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any such notice. Upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate from the Master Servicer to the effect that the full amount of the Purchase Price or Substitution Shortfall Amount (as the case may be) for any Mortgage Loan repurchased or replaced by the related Responsible Repurchase Party as contemplated by this Section 2.03 has been deposited in the Collection Account, and further, if applicable, upon receipt of the Mortgage File for each Replacement Mortgage Loan (if any) to be substituted for a Deleted Mortgage Loan, together with any certifications and/or opinions required pursuant to Section 2.03(b) to be delivered by the applicable Responsible Repurchase Party, the Trustee and the Custodian shall each (i) release the Mortgage File and any Additional Collateral held by it or on its behalf for the Deleted Mortgage Loan to the related Responsible Repurchase Party or its designee and (ii) execute and deliver such instruments of release, transfer and/or assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be provided to it and are reasonably necessary to vest in the applicable Responsible Repurchase Party or its designee the ownership of the Deleted Mortgage Loan, and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall notify the Depositor and the affected Borrowers of the transfers of the Deleted Mortgage Loan(s) and any Replacement Mortgage Loan(s). In connection with any such repurchase or substitution by the related Responsible Repurchase Party, each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall deliver to the applicable

 

129
 

 

Responsible Repurchase Party or its designee any portion of the related Servicing File, together with any Escrow Payments, Reserve Funds and Additional Collateral, held by or on behalf of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, with respect to the Deleted Mortgage Loan, in each case at the expense of such Responsible Repurchase Party. The reasonable “out-of-pocket” costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and/or the Custodian pursuant to this Section 2.03(d), to the extent not collected from the related Responsible Repurchase Party, shall be reimbursable to each of them as Servicing Advances in respect of the affected Mortgage Loan.

 

(e)          The related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement provides the sole remedies available to the Certificateholders, or the Trustee on their behalf, respecting any Document Defect or Breach with respect to any Mortgage Loan. If, in connection with any Material Document Defect or Material Breach, the related Responsible Repurchase Party defaults on its obligations to cure such Material Document Defect or Material Breach and fails to deliver a Loss of Value Payment as provided in Section 2.03(h), as the case may be, in all material respects or to repurchase or replace the affected Mortgage Loan as contemplated by this Section 2.03, then the Master Servicer, if relating to a Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan, or the Special Servicer, if relating to a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, shall promptly notify the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Subordinate Class Representative and the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder, and the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Certificateholders. Thereafter, the Trustee shall (and the Special Servicer may in its own name, or, as provided in Section 3.01(b) below, in the name of the Trustee) take such actions on behalf of the Trust with respect to the enforcement of such repurchase/substitution obligations, including the institution and prosecution of appropriate legal proceedings, as the Trustee (or, if applicable, the Special Servicer) shall determine are in the best interests of the Certificateholders (taken as a collective whole). Any and all reasonable “out-of-pocket” costs and expenses incurred by the Master Servicer, the Trustee and/or the Special Servicer pursuant to this Section 2.03(e), including, reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses, to the extent not collected from the related Responsible Repurchase Party, shall constitute Servicing Advances in respect of the affected Mortgage Loan.

 

(f)          The Trustee shall not consent to the assignment by a Mortgage Loan Seller or Responsible Repurchase Party of their respective obligations under any Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement unless such assignment is the subject of a Rating Agency Confirmation and, during any Subordinate Control Period, with the consent of the Subordinate Class Representative, which consent shall be deemed given if the Subordinate Class Representative does not respond within five (5) Business Days of receipt of the Trustee’s request.

 

(g)          If the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (each a “Repurchase Request Recipient”): (1) receives a Repurchase Communication of a request or demand for repurchase or replacement of any Mortgage Loan alleging a Document Defect or a Breach (a “Repurchase Request”); (2) receives a Repurchase Communication of a withdrawal of a Repurchase Request by the Person making such Repurchase Request (a “Repurchase Request Withdrawal”); or (3) receives a Repurchase Communication that any Mortgage Loan that was subject of a Repurchase Request has been repurchased or replaced (a “Repurchase”) or that such Repurchase Request has been rejected (a “Repurchase Request Rejection”), then such party shall

 

130
 

 

give written notice thereof to the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller and the other parties hereto and the Other Depositor (if applicable) promptly but in any case within ten (10) Business Days from the date of receipt thereof. Each notice required by this Section 2.03(g) (a “Rule 15Ga-1 Notice”) shall include: (i) the date that the Repurchase Communication relating to the Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection, as applicable, was received by the Repurchase Request Recipient; (ii) the identity of the Person making or withdrawing any such Repurchase Communication and the related Mortgage Loan; (iii) in the case of a Repurchase Communication of a Repurchase Request, the basis for the Repurchase Request asserted by the Person making the Repurchase Request, to the extent known to the Repurchase Request Recipient; and (iv) in the case of a Repurchase Communication of a Repurchase Request, a statement from the Repurchase Request Recipient as to whether it currently plans to pursue such Repurchase Request pursuant to Section 2.03(b). Each Rule 15Ga-1 Notice may be delivered by electronic mail in accordance with Section 12.06. A Repurchase Request Recipient shall not be required to provide any information under this Section 2.03(g) if and to the extent that such information is protected by either the attorney-client privilege or the attorney work product doctrines. Each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement will provide that (i) any Rule 15Ga-1 Notice is provided only to assist the Depositor, the related Mortgage Loan Seller, the Other Depositor (if applicable) and their respective Affiliates in complying with Rule 15Ga-1, Items 1104 and 1121 of Regulation AB and/or any other law or regulation, and (ii) (A) no action taken by, or inaction of, a Repurchase Request Recipient, and (B) no information provided pursuant to this Section 2.03(g) by a Repurchase Request Recipient, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver or defense to the exercise of any legal right the Repurchase Request Recipient may have with respect to the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement.

 

If the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Custodian receives a Repurchase Communication of a Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection, such party shall forward such Repurchase Communication as soon as possible and in any event, no later than three (3) Business Days following receipt of such Repurchase Communication to the Master Servicer, if relating to a Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan, or to the Special Servicer, if relating to a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property and shall include the following statement in the related correspondence: “This is a Repurchase Communication of a [“Repurchase Request”] [“Repurchase Request Withdrawal”] [“Repurchase”] [“Repurchase Request Rejection”] under Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to the WFCM 2015-C31 Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates requiring action by you as the “Repurchase Request Recipient” of such Repurchase Communication thereunder”. Upon receipt of any Repurchase Communication of a Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, pursuant to the prior sentence, such party shall be deemed a Repurchase Request Recipient in respect of such Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection, as applicable, and such party shall comply with the procedures set forth in the prior paragraph of this Section 2.03(g) with respect to such Repurchase Communication of such Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection. In no event shall this provision require the Custodian (in its capacity as Custodian) in connection with its review of a Mortgage File to provide any notice other than as set forth in Section 2.02 of this Agreement. None of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Custodian shall accept any

 

131
 

 

oral Repurchase Communication of a Repurchase Request, and each of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Custodian shall direct any Person making an oral Repurchase Communication of a Repurchase Request, Repurchase Request Withdrawal, Repurchase or Repurchase Request Rejection to submit it in writing (or by means of electronic mail in accordance with Section 12.06) to the Certificate Administrator (who will act in accordance with the first sentence of this paragraph). Repurchase Communications of Repurchase Requests made to the Certificate Administrator must be submitted in writing or may be transmitted by electronic mail in accordance with Section 12.06 with a subject line of “Repurchase Request – WFCM 2015-C31”.

 

The parties hereto agree that delivery of a Rule 15Ga-1 Notice shall not in and of itself constitute delivery of notice of any Material Document Defect or Material Breach or knowledge on the part of the Responsible Repurchase Party of any Material Document Defect or Material Breach.

 

(h)          If a Mortgage Loan Seller (or, if applicable, a related Responsible Repurchase Party), in connection with a Material Document Defect or a Material Breach (or an allegation of a Material Document Defect or a Material Breach) pertaining to a Mortgage Loan, makes a cash payment pursuant to an agreement or a settlement between the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (or, if applicable, a related Responsible Repurchase Party) and the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust (with the consent of the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder to the extent a Subordinate Control Period or Collective Consultation Period is then in effect) (each such payment, a “Loss of Value Payment”) with respect to such Mortgage Loan, the amount of such Loss of Value Payment shall be deposited into the Loss of Value Reserve Fund to be applied in accordance with Section 3.05(h)(iii) of this Agreement. If such Loss of Value Payment is made, the Loss of Value Payment shall serve as the sole remedy available to the Certificateholders and the Trustee on their behalf regarding any such Material Breach or Material Document Defect in lieu of any obligation of the Mortgage Loan Seller (or, if applicable, a related Responsible Repurchase Party) to otherwise cure such Material Breach or Material Document Defect or repurchase or substitute for the affected Mortgage Loan based on such Material Breach or Material Document Defect under any circumstances. This paragraph is intended to apply only to a mutual agreement or settlement between the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller (or, if applicable, a related Responsible Repurchase Party) and the Trust, provided that prior to any such agreement or settlement nothing in this paragraph shall preclude the Mortgage Loan Seller (or, if applicable, a related Responsible Repurchase Party) or the Trustee from exercising any of its rights related to a Material Document Defect or a Material Breach in the manner and timing set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement or this Section 2.03 (excluding this paragraph) (including any right to cure, repurchase or substitute for such Mortgage Loan), and provided, further, that such Loss of Value Payment shall not be greater than the repurchase price of the affected Mortgage Loan; and provided, further that a Material Document Defect or a Material Breach as a result of a Mortgage Loan not constituting a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code may not be cured by a Loss of Value Payment.

Section 2.11        Creation of REMIC I; Issuance of the REMIC I Regular Interests and the REMIC I Residual Interest; Certain Matters Involving REMIC I.

144
 

 

the Depositor) 19 of each Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement. The Closing Date is hereby designated as the “Startup Day” of REMIC I within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.

 

(b)           Concurrently with the assignment to the Trustee of the Original Mortgage Loans and certain related assets, pursuant to Section 2.01(b), and in exchange therefor, the REMIC I Regular Interests and the REMIC I Residual Interest shall be issued. A single separate REMIC I Regular Interest shall be issued with respect to each Original Mortgage Loan. For purposes of this Agreement each REMIC I Regular Interest shall relate to the Original Mortgage Loan in respect of which it was issued, to each Replacement Mortgage Loan (if any) substituted for such Original Mortgage Loan and to each REO Mortgage Loan deemed outstanding with respect to any REO Property acquired in respect of such Original Mortgage Loan or any such Replacement Mortgage Loan (or, in the case of any REO Property related to a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan, the beneficial interest of the holder of the related Mortgage Loan in any related REO Property). None of the REMIC I Regular Interests shall be certificated. The REMIC I Regular Interests and the REMIC I Residual Interest shall collectively constitute the entire beneficial ownership of REMIC I.

 

(c)           The REMIC I Regular Interests shall constitute the “regular interests” (within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(1) of the Code), and the REMIC I Residual Interest shall constitute the sole “residual interest” (within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(2) of the Code), in REMIC I.

(d)           The designation for each REMIC I Regular Interest shall be the identification number for the related Original Mortgage Loan set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule.

 

(e)           Each REMIC I Regular Interest shall have an Uncertificated Principal Balance. As of the Closing Date, the Uncertificated Principal Balance of each REMIC I Regular Interest shall equal the Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the related Original Mortgage Loan (as specified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule). On each Distribution Date, the Uncertificated Principal Balance of each REMIC I Regular Interest shall be (1) permanently reduced by any distributions of principal deemed made with respect to such REMIC I Regular Interest on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01(j) and (2) further adjusted in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 4.04(c). Except as provided in the preceding sentence and except to the extent of the recovery of amounts previously allocated as a Realized Loss as a result of the reimbursement from principal collections of Nonrecoverable Advances, the Uncertificated Principal Balance of each REMIC I Regular Interest shall not otherwise be increased or reduced. Deemed distributions to REMIC II in reimbursement of any Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund Expenses previously deemed allocated to a REMIC I Regular Interest, shall not constitute deemed distributions of principal and shall not result in any reduction of the Uncertificated Principal Balance of such REMIC I Regular Interest.

 

(f)            The per annum rate at which each REMIC I Regular Interest shall accrue interest during each Interest Accrual Period is herein referred to as its “REMIC I Remittance Rate”. The REMIC I Remittance Rate in respect of any particular REMIC I Regular Interest, for any Interest

 

145
 

 

Accrual Period, shall equal: (A) if the related Original Mortgage Loan is or was, as the case may be, a 30/360 Mortgage Loan, the related Net Mortgage Rate then in effect (including as a result of any step-up provision) for the related Original Mortgage Loan under the original terms of such Mortgage Loan in effect as of the Closing Date (without regard to any modifications, extensions, waivers or amendments of such Mortgage Loan subsequent to the Closing Date, whether entered into by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or in connection with any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding involving the related Borrower or otherwise) and (B) if the related Original Mortgage Loan is or was, as the case may be, an Actual/360 Mortgage Loan, a fraction (expressed as a percentage), the numerator of which is the product of 12 times the Adjusted Actual/360 Accrued Interest Amount with respect to such REMIC I Regular Interest for such Interest Accrual Period, and the denominator of which is the Uncertificated Principal Balance of such REMIC I Regular Interest immediately prior to the Distribution Date that corresponds to such Interest Accrual Period.

 

The “Adjusted Actual/360 Accrued Interest Amount” with respect to any REMIC I Regular Interest referred to in clause (B) of the second sentence of the prior paragraph, for any Interest Accrual Period, is an amount of interest equal to the product of (a) the Net Mortgage Rate then in effect (including as a result of any step-up provision) for the related Mortgage Loan under the original terms of such Mortgage Loan in effect as of the Closing Date (without regard to any modifications, extensions, waivers or amendments of such Mortgage Loan subsequent to the Closing Date, whether entered into by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or in connection with any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding involving the related Borrower or otherwise), multiplied by (b) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in such Interest Accrual Period, and the denominator of which is 360, multiplied by (c) the Uncertificated Principal Balance of such REMIC I Regular Interest immediately prior to the Distribution Date that corresponds to such Interest Accrual Period; provided that, if the subject Interest Accrual Period occurs during (x) December of any year that does not immediately precede a leap year or (y) January of any year, then the amount of interest calculated with respect to the subject REMIC I Regular Interest pursuant to this definition for such Interest Accrual Period without regard to this proviso shall be decreased by the Interest Reserve Amount, if any (and the fraction described in clause (B) of the second sentence of the preceding paragraph shall be adjusted accordingly), with respect to the related Mortgage Loan (or any successor REO Mortgage Loan with respect thereto) transferred, in accordance with Section 3.04(c), from the Distribution Account to the Interest Reserve Account on the Master Servicer Remittance Date that occurs immediately following the end of such Interest Accrual Period; and provided, further, that, if the subject Interest Accrual Period occurs during February of any year (or during any December or January preceding the month of the Final Distribution Date), then the amount of interest calculated with respect to the subject REMIC I Regular Interest pursuant to this definition for such Interest Accrual Period without regard to this proviso shall be increased by the Interest Reserve Amount(s), if any (and the fraction described in clause (B) of the second sentence of the preceding paragraph shall be adjusted accordingly), with respect to the related Mortgage Loan (or any successor REO Mortgage Loan with respect thereto) transferred, in accordance with Section 3.05(c), from the Interest Reserve Account to the Distribution Account on the Master Servicer Remittance Date that occurs immediately following the end of such Interest Accrual Period.

 

146
 

 

(g)          Each REMIC I Regular Interest shall bear interest. Such interest shall be calculated on a 30/360 Basis and, during each Interest Accrual Period, such interest shall accrue at the REMIC I Remittance Rate with respect to such REMIC I Regular Interest for such Interest Accrual Period on the Uncertificated Principal Balance of such REMIC I Regular Interest outstanding immediately prior to the related Distribution Date. The total amount of interest accrued with respect to each REMIC I Regular Interest during each Interest Accrual Period is referred to herein as its “Uncertificated Accrued Interest” for such Interest Accrual Period. The portion of the Uncertificated Accrued Interest with respect to any REMIC I Regular Interest for any Interest Accrual Period that shall be distributable to REMIC II, as the holder of such REMIC I Regular Interest, on the related Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01(j), shall be an amount (herein referred to as the “Uncertificated Distributable Interest” with respect to such REMIC I Regular Interest for the related Distribution Date) equal to (i) the Uncertificated Accrued Interest with respect to such REMIC I Regular Interest for the related Interest Accrual Period, reduced (to not less than zero) by (ii) the portion of any Net Aggregate Prepayment Interest Shortfall for such Distribution Date that is allocable to such REMIC I Regular Interest. For purposes of the foregoing, the Net Aggregate Prepayment Interest Shortfall, if any, for each Distribution Date shall be allocated among all the REMIC I Regular Interests on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective amounts of Uncertificated Accrued Interest for the related Interest Accrual Period. If the entire Uncertificated Distributable Interest with respect to any REMIC I Regular Interest for any Distribution Date is not deemed distributed to REMIC II, as the holder of such REMIC I Regular Interest, on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01(j), then the unpaid portion of such Uncertificated Distributable Interest shall be distributable with respect to such REMIC I Regular Interest for future Distribution Dates as provided in such Section 4.01(j).

 

(h)          Solely for purposes of satisfying Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii), the Latest Possible Maturity Date for each REMIC I Regular Interest shall be the date that is the Rated Final Distribution Date.

 

(i)           The REMIC I Residual Interest will not have a principal balance and will not bear interest.

 

Section 2.12        Conveyance of the REMIC I Regular Interests; Acceptance of the REMIC I Regular Interests by Trustee. The Depositor, as of the Closing Date, and concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, does hereby assign without recourse all of its right, title and interest in and to the REMIC I Regular Interests to the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of the Regular Certificates and the Class R Certificates.

The Closing Date is hereby designated as the “Startup Day” of REMIC II within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.

 

147
 

 

(b)           Concurrently with the assignment of the REMIC I Regular Interests to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.12 and in exchange therefor, the REMIC II Regular Interests and the REMIC II Residual Interest shall be issued. None of the REMIC II Regular Interests shall be certificated. The REMIC II Regular Interests and the REMIC II Residual Interest shall collectively constitute the entire beneficial ownership of REMIC II.

 

(c)            The REMIC II Regular Interests shall constitute the “regular interests” (within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(1) of the Code), and the REMIC II Residual Interest shall constitute the sole “residual interest” (within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(2) of the Code), in REMIC II. None of the parties hereto, to the extent it is within the control thereof, shall create or permit the creation of any other “interests” in REMIC II (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860D-1(b)(1)).

 

(d)           The REMIC II Regular Interests will have the alphabetic or alphanumeric designations indicated in the table set forth in the Preliminary Statement under the caption “REMIC II”.

 

(e)           Each REMIC II Regular Interest shall have an Uncertificated Principal Balance. As of the Closing Date, the Uncertificated Principal Balance of each REMIC II Regular Interest shall equal the amount set forth opposite such REMIC II Regular Interest in the table set forth in the Preliminary Statement under the caption “REMIC II”. On each Distribution Date, the Uncertificated Principal Balance of each REMIC II Regular Interest shall be (1) permanently reduced by any distributions of principal deemed made with respect to such REMIC II Regular Interest on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01(i), and (2) further adjusted in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 4.04(b). Except as provided in the preceding sentence and except to the extent of the recovery of amounts previously allocated as a Realized Loss as a result of the reimbursement from principal collections of Nonrecoverable Advances, the Uncertificated Principal Balance of each REMIC II Regular Interest shall not otherwise be increased or reduced. Deemed distributions to REMIC III in reimbursement of any Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund Expenses previously deemed allocated to a REMIC II Regular Interest, shall not constitute deemed distributions of principal and shall not result in any reduction of the Uncertificated Principal Balance of such REMIC II Regular Interest.

 

The per annum rate at which each REMIC II Regular Interest shall accrue interest during each Interest Accrual Period is herein referred to as its “REMIC II Remittance Rate”. The REMIC II Remittance Rate with respect to each REMIC II Regular Interest for any Interest Accrual Period shall be the WAC Rate for such Interest Accrual Period.

 

(f)            Each REMIC II Regular Interest shall bear interest. Such interest shall be calculated on a 30/360 Basis and, during each Interest Accrual Period, such interest shall accrue at the REMIC II Remittance Rate with respect to such REMIC II Regular Interest for such Interest Accrual Period on the Uncertificated Principal Balance of such REMIC II Regular Interest outstanding immediately prior to the related Distribution Date. The total amount of interest accrued with respect to each REMIC II Regular Interest during each Interest Accrual Period is referred to herein as its “Uncertificated Accrued Interest” for such Interest Accrual Period. The portion of the Uncertificated Accrued Interest with respect to any REMIC II Regular Interest for any Interest Accrual Period that shall be distributable to REMIC III, as the

holder of such REMIC II Regular Interest, on the related Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01(i), shall be an amount (herein referred to as the “Uncertificated Distributable Interest” with respect to such REMIC II Regular Interest for the related Distribution Date) equal to (i) the Uncertificated Accrued Interest with respect to such REMIC II Regular Interest for the related Interest Accrual Period, reduced (to not less than zero) by (ii) the portion of any Net Aggregate Prepayment Interest Shortfall for such Distribution Date that is allocable to such REMIC II Regular Interest. For purposes of the foregoing, the Net Aggregate Prepayment Interest Shortfall, if any, for each Distribution Date shall be allocated among all the REMIC II Regular Interests on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective amounts of Uncertificated Accrued Interest for the related Interest Accrual Period. If the entire Uncertificated Distributable Interest with respect to any REMIC II Regular Interest for any Distribution Date is not deemed distributed to REMIC III, as the holder of such REMIC II Regular Interest, on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01(i), then the unpaid portion of such Uncertificated Distributable Interest shall be distributable with respect to such REMIC II Regular Interest for future Distribution Dates as provided in such Section 4.01(i).

 

(g)          Solely for purposes of satisfying Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii), the Latest Possible Maturity Date for each REMIC II Regular Interest shall be the Rated Final Distribution Date.

 

(h)          The REMIC II Residual Interest shall not have a principal balance and shall not bear interest.

The interests evidenced by the Regular Certificates, together with the Class A-S Regular Interest, Class B Regular Interest and Class C Regular Interest and the REMIC III Residual Interest, shall collectively constitute the entire beneficial ownership of REMIC III.

 

(c)           The Regular Certificates (in the case of those Principal Balance Certificates), the Class A-S Regular Interest, Class B Regular Interest and Class C Regular Interest and the REMIC III Components (in the case of the Interest Only Certificates), shall constitute the “regular interests” (within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(1) of the Code), and the REMIC III Residual Interest shall constitute the sole “residual interest” (within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(2) of the Code), in REMIC III. None of the parties hereto, to the extent it is within the control thereof, shall create or permit the creation of any other “interests” in REMIC III (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860D-1(b)(1)).

 

(d)           [Reserved].

 

(e)           Each Class of Principal Balance Certificates and each of the Class A-S Regular Interest, Class B Regular Interest and Class C Regular Interest shall have a Class Principal Balance. As of the Closing Date, the Class Principal Balance of each such Class of Principal Balance Certificates or Regular Interests shall equal the amount set forth opposite such Class of Certificates or the Class A-S Regular Interest, Class B Regular Interest or Class C Regular Interest, as applicable, in the table set forth in the Preliminary Statement under the caption “REMIC III”. On each Distribution Date, the Class Principal Balance of each such Class of Principal Balance Certificates or the Class A-S Regular Interest, Class B Regular Interest or Class C Regular Interest, as applicable, shall be permanently reduced by any distributions of principal made in respect of such Class on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01(a) and shall be further adjusted in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 4.04(a). Except as provided in the preceding sentence and except to the extent of the recovery of amounts previously allocated as a Realized Loss as a result of the reimbursement from principal collections of Nonrecoverable Advances, the Class Principal Balance of each such Class of Principal Balance Certificates or the Class A-S Regular Interest, Class B Regular Interest or

 

150
 

 

Class C Regular Interest, as applicable, shall not otherwise be increased or reduced. Distributions in reimbursement of the Holders of any such Class of Principal Balance Certificates or the Class A-S Regular Interest, Class B Regular Interest or Class C Regular Interest, as applicable, for previously allocated Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund Expenses shall not constitute distributions of principal and shall not result in any reduction of the Certificate Principal Balances of such Principal Balance Certificates or Class A-S Regular Interest, Class B Regular Interest or Class C Regular Interest or of the related Class Principal Balance of such Class of Principal Balance Certificate or Class A-S Regular Interest, Class B Regular Interest or Class C Regular Interest.

 

The Interest Only Certificates shall not have principal balances. For purposes of accruing interest, however, each Class of Interest Only Certificates shall have or be deemed to have a Class Notional Amount that is, as of any date of determination, equal to: (i)  in the case of the Class X-A Certificates, the total of the then Component Notional Amounts of the REMIC III Components of the Class X-A Certificates; (ii) in the case of the Class X-B Certificates, the then Component Notional Amount of the REMIC III Component of the Class X-B Certificates; and (iii) in the case of the Class X-D Certificates, the then Component Notional Amount of the REMIC III Component of the Class X-D Certificates.

 

None of the REMIC III Components of the Class X-A Certificates, the REMIC III Component of the Class X-B Certificates or the REMIC III Component of the Class X-D Certificates shall have a principal balance. For purposes of accruing interest, however, each REMIC III Component of the Class X-A Certificates, the REMIC III Component of the Class X-B Certificates and the REMIC III Component of the Class X-D Certificates shall have a Component Notional Amount. The Component Notional Amount of each REMIC III Component of the Class X-A Certificates is, as of any date of determination, equal to the then-current Uncertificated Principal Balance of the REMIC II Regular Interest that is the Corresponding REMIC II Regular Interest for such REMIC III Component. The Component Notional Amount of the REMIC III Component of the Class X-B Certificates is, as of any date of determination, equal to the then-current Uncertificated Principal Balance of the REMIC II Regular Interest that is the Corresponding REMIC II Regular Interest for such REMIC III Component. The Component Notional Amount of the REMIC III Component of the Class X-D Certificates is, as of any date of determination, equal to the then-current Uncertificated Principal Balance of the REMIC II Regular Interest that is the Corresponding REMIC II Regular Interest for such REMIC III Component.

151

Article III

ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF THE TRUST FUND

 

Section 3.01        General Provisions. (a) Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall service and administer the applicable Serviced Mortgage Loans, the applicable Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loans and any applicable Administered REO Properties that it is obligated (as provided below) to service and administer pursuant to this Agreement on behalf of the Trustee, and in the best interests and for the benefit of the Certificateholders (or, in the case of any Serviced Loan Combination, of the Certificateholders and the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s)) (as determined by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, in its good faith and reasonable judgment), as a collective whole, in accordance with any and all applicable laws, the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the respective Serviced Mortgage Loans and, in the case of any Serviced Loan Combination, the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement (provided that, in the event the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, in its reasonably exercised judgment determines that following the terms of any Mortgage Loan Document would or potentially would result in an Adverse REMIC Event (for which determination, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer will be entitled to rely on advice of counsel, the cost of which will be reimbursed as an Additional Trust Fund Expense by withdrawal from the Collection Account), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, must comply with the REMIC Provisions to the extent necessary to avoid an Adverse REMIC Event) and, to the extent consistent with the foregoing, in accordance with the Servicing Standard. In clarification of, and neither in addition to nor in deletion of the duties and obligations of the Master Servicer or the

 

153
 

 

Special Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, no provision herein contained shall be construed as an express or implied guarantee by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer of the collectability or recoverability of payments on the Mortgage Loans or any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan or shall be construed to impair or adversely affect any rights or benefits provided by this Agreement to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (including with respect to Master Servicing Fees or the right to be reimbursed for Advances). Any provision in this Agreement for any Advance by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee is intended solely to provide liquidity for the benefit of the Certificateholders and, if applicable, any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders, and not as credit support or otherwise to impose on any such Person the risk of loss with respect to one or more of the Mortgage Loans. No provision hereof shall be construed to impose liability on the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer for the reason that any recovery to the Certificateholders (or, in the case of any Serviced Loan Combination, to the Certificateholders and the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s)) in respect of a Mortgage Loan at any time after a determination of present value recovery made in its reasonable and good faith judgment in accordance with the Servicing Standard by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer hereunder at any time is less than the amount reflected in such determination. Without limiting the foregoing, and subject to Section 3.21, (i) the Master Servicer shall service and administer all related Performing Serviced Mortgage Loans and related Performing Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loans, (ii) the Special Servicer shall service and administer (x) each Serviced Mortgage Loan and each Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (other than Corrected Mortgage Loans) as to which a Servicing Transfer Event has occurred, and (y) each Administered REO Property; provided that the Master Servicer shall continue to (A) make P&I Advances required hereunder with respect to each related Mortgage Loan that constitutes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and each related successor REO Mortgage Loan in respect thereof, (B) make Servicing Advances required hereunder with respect to any related Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and Administered REO Properties (and related REO Mortgage Loans), (C) receive payments, collect information and deliver reports to the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee required hereunder with respect to any related Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and Administered REO Properties (and the related REO Mortgage Loans), and (D) render such incidental services with respect to any related Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and Administered REO Properties as and to the extent as may be specifically provided for herein. In addition, the Master Servicer shall notify the Special Servicer within three (3) Business Days following its receipt of any collections on any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall within one Business Day thereafter notify the Master Servicer with instructions on how to apply such collections and the Master Servicer shall apply such collections in accordance with such instructions within one Business Day following the Master Servicer’s receipt of such notice.

 

(b)           Subject to Section 3.01(a) and the other terms and provisions of this Agreement, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each have full power and authority, acting alone or, subject to Section 3.22, through Sub-Servicers, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which it may deem necessary or desirable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Master Servicer (with respect to those Serviced Mortgage Loans and any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan that it is obligated to service and administer pursuant to this Agreement) and the Special Servicer (with respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and Administered REO Properties that it is obligated to service and administer pursuant to this Agreement), in its own name or in the name of the

 

154
 

 

Trustee, is hereby authorized and empowered by the Trustee (and in the case of any Serviced Loan Combination is, pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement, authorized by the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder) to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders, the Trustee (and in the case of any Serviced Loan Combination), the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder, or any of them: (i) any and all financing statements, continuation statements and other documents or instruments necessary to maintain the lien created by the Mortgage or other security document in the related Mortgage File on the related Mortgaged Property and other related collateral; (ii) any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, or of partial or full defeasance, and all other comparable instruments; and (iii) subject to Sections 3.08, 3.20 and 3.24) any and all assumptions, modifications, waivers, substitutions, extensions, amendments, consents to transfers of interests in Borrowers, consents to any subordinate financings to be secured by any related Mortgaged Property, consents to any mezzanine financing to be secured by ownership interests in a Borrower, consents to and monitoring of the application of any proceeds of insurance policies or condemnation awards to the restoration of the related Mortgaged Property or otherwise, consents to other matters that pursuant to the applicable Mortgage Loan Documents require the consent of the holder of the Mortgage, documents relating to the management, operation, maintenance, repair, leasing and marketing of the related Mortgaged Properties (including agreements and requests by any Borrower with respect to modifications of the standards of operation and management of the Mortgaged Properties or the replacement of asset managers), documents exercising any or all of the rights, powers and privileges granted or provided to the holder of any Serviced Mortgage Loan under the related Mortgage Loan Documents, lease subordination agreements, non-disturbance and attornment agreements or other leasing or rental arrangements that may be requested by any Borrower or its tenants, documents granting, modifying or releasing (or joining the Borrower therein) any easements, covenants, conditions, restrictions, equitable servitudes, or land use or zoning requirements with respect to the Mortgaged Properties, instruments relating to the custody of any collateral that now secures or hereafter may secure any Serviced Mortgage Loan and any other consents. Subject to Section 3.10, the Trustee shall, at the written request of a Servicing Officer of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, furnish, or cause to be so furnished, to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, any limited powers of attorney substantially in the form attached as Exhibit L hereto (or such other form as mutually agreed to by the Trustee and the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable) and other documents (each of which shall be prepared by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be) necessary or appropriate to enable it to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder; provided that the Trustee shall not be held responsible or liable for any negligence with respect to, or any willful misuse of, any such power of attorney by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, on or before the Closing Date, a power of attorney substantially in the form attached as Exhibit L hereto (or such other form as mutually agreed to by the Trustee and the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall, without the Trustee’s written consent: (i) initiate any action, suit or proceeding solely under the Trustee’s name without indicating the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s, as applicable, representative capacity; provided, however, that in those jurisdictions in which the foregoing requirement would not be legally or procedurally permissible, the Master Servicer or

 

155
 

 

Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Trustee of the initiation of such action, suit or proceeding (or provide such prior notice as the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall determine in its reasonable judgment exercised in accordance with the Servicing Standard, to be reasonably practicable prior to filing such action, suit or proceeding) (and shall not be required to obtain the Trustee’s written consent or indicate the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s, as applicable, representative capacity); or (ii) take any action with the intent to cause, and that actually causes, the Trustee to be registered to do business in any state. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall indemnify (out of its own funds without reimbursement therefor) the Trustee for any and all costs, liabilities and expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with the negligent or willful misuse of such power of attorney by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be.

 

(c)           The Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, in accordance with this Agreement, shall service and administer each Cross-Collateralized Group as a single Mortgage Loan as and when necessary and appropriate consistent with the Servicing Standard and applicable law and in accordance with this Agreement.

 

(d)           The relationship of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to the Trustee and, unless they are the same Person, one another under this Agreement is intended by the parties to be that of an independent contractor and not that of a joint venturer, partner or agent.

 

(e)           Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that each of the Master Servicer’s and Special Servicer’s obligations and responsibilities hereunder and the Master Servicer’s and Special Servicer’s authority with respect to the Non-Serviced Loan Combinations and any REO Property that is not an Administered REO Property is limited by and subject to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreements and the rights, responsibilities and obligations of the Non-Trust Master Servicer, the Non-Trust Special Servicer and the Non-Trust Trustee under the Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer shall, to the extent directed and instructed as contemplated by Section 3.01(g), enforce the rights of the Trustee (as holder of each Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan) under the related Intercreditor Agreement and the Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

(f)            Nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit the ability of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer to lend money to (to the extent not secured, in whole or in part, by any Mortgaged Property), accept deposits from and otherwise generally engage in any kind of business or dealings with any Borrower as though the Master Servicer or Special Servicer was not a party to this Agreement or to the transactions contemplated hereby; provided that this sentence shall not be construed to modify or supersede the Servicing Standard.

 

(g)           The parties hereto acknowledge that each Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan and any REO Property that is not an Administered REO Property is subject to the terms and conditions of the related Intercreditor Agreement and the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The parties hereto recognize the respective rights and obligations of the “Initial Note Holders” and “Note Holders” (or the analogous term) under the Intercreditor Agreements for such Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loans, including with respect to the allocation of collections and losses on or in respect of such Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loans and the related Non-Serviced Companion Loans and the making of payments to the

 

156
 

 

“Initial Note Holders” and “Note Holders” in accordance with each such Intercreditor Agreement and the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The parties hereto further acknowledge that, pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement(s) for each Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan and any REO Property that is not an Administered REO Property, each Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan, the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan and any REO Property that is not an Administered REO Property are to be serviced and administered by the related Non-Trust Master Servicer and related Non-Trust Special Servicer in accordance with the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Although each Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan is not a Serviced Mortgage Loan hereunder, the Master Servicer hereunder for each such Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan shall have certain duties as set forth herein and shall constitute the “Master Servicer” hereunder with respect to each such Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan. The Special Servicer shall have no obligations under this Agreement for servicing any Non-Serviced Loan Combinations or related REO Property.

 

With respect to any Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan, the parties to this Agreement shall have no obligation or authority to supervise respective parties to the Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement (but this statement shall not relieve them of liabilities they may otherwise have in their capacities as parties to the Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement) or to make Servicing Advances with respect to any such Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan. If there are at any time amounts due from the Trust, as holder of a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan, to any party under the related Intercreditor Agreement or the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement pursuant to the terms thereof, the Master Servicer shall notify the Special Servicer and the Subordinate Class Representative, and the Master Servicer shall pay such amounts out of the Collection Account. Except as otherwise expressly addressed in Section 3.20, if a party to the Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement related to a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan requests the Trustee to consent to a modification, waiver or amendment of, or other loan-level action related to, such Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan, then the Trustee shall promptly deliver a copy of such request to the Master Servicer to be addressed by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.20(g); provided that, if such Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan were serviced hereunder and such action would not be permitted without Rating Agency Confirmation, then the Master Servicer shall not grant such direction without first having obtained such Rating Agency Confirmation (payable at the expense of the party requesting such approval of the Trustee, if a Certificateholder or a party to this Agreement, otherwise from the Collection Account). If a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives actual notice of a “servicer termination event” (or other similar term) under the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement, then (during any Subordinate Control Period or Collective Consultation Period) the Trustee shall notify (in writing), and direct the Master Servicer to act in accordance with the instructions of, the Subordinate Class Representative (other than with respect to any Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan that is a related Excluded Loan); provided that, during a Senior Consultation Period, or if such instructions are not provided within a reasonable time period (not to exceed ten (10) Business Days or such lesser response time as is afforded under the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement), or if the Master Servicer is not permitted by the Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement to follow such instructions, or if the matter is with respect to an Excluded Loan with respect to which the Subordinate Class Representative is a Borrower Party, then the Trustee shall direct the Master Servicer to take such action or inaction (to the

extent permitted by the Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement), as directed in writing by the Holders of the Certificates entitled to a majority of the Voting Rights (such direction communicated to the Master Servicer by the Trustee) within a reasonable period of time that does not exceed such response time as is afforded under the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement. If the Trustee receives a request from any party to a Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement for consent to or approval of a modification, waiver or amendment of such Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement and/or the related Intercreditor Agreement, or the adoption of any servicing agreement that is the successor to and/or in replacement of such Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement in effect as of the Closing Date or a change in servicer under such Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement, then the Trustee shall not grant such consent or approval unless it receives the consent of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, the consent of the Subordinate Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period or Collective Consultation Period and other than with respect to any Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan that is a related Excluded Loan) and a Rating Agency Confirmation (at the expense of the party requesting such approval of the Trustee, if a Certificateholder or a party to this Agreement, otherwise from the Collection Account) from each Rating Agency to the effect that such consent or approval would not result in an Adverse Rating Event with respect to any Class of Rated Certificates. During the continuation of any “servicer termination event” (or other similar term) under a Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement, each of the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall have the right (but not the obligation) to take all actions to enforce its rights and remedies and to protect the interests, and enforce the rights and remedies, of the Trust (including the institution and prosecution of all judicial, administrative and other proceedings and the filings of proofs of claim and debt in connection therewith). The reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in connection with such enforcement shall be an Additional Trust Fund Expense. The Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each promptly forward all material notices or other communications delivered to it in connection with each Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement to the other such parties, the Depositor and (other than with respect to any Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan that is a related Excluded Loan) the Subordinate Class Representative and, if such notice or communication is in the nature of a notice or communication that would be required to be delivered to the Rating Agencies if the related Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan were a Serviced Mortgage Loan, to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such notice to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 8.12(c)). Any obligation of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, to provide information and collections to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Certificateholders with respect to any Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan shall be dependent on its receipt of the corresponding information and collections from the related Non-Trust Master Servicer or the related Non-Trust Special Servicer.

 

(h)          With respect to each Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan, the parties to this Agreement agree as follows:

 

(i)          the Trust shall be responsible for its pro rata share of any “Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances” (or analogous term) (as defined in the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement) (and advance interest thereon) and any “Additional Trust Fund Expenses” (or analogous term) (as defined in the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement), but only to

the extent that they relate to servicing and administration of the related Non-Serviced Loan Combination, including without limitation, any unpaid “Special Servicing Fees”, “Liquidation Fees” and “Workout Fees” (or analogous terms) (each, as defined in the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement) relating to the related Non-Serviced Loan Combination, and that if the funds received with respect to the related Non-Serviced Loan Combination are insufficient to cover “Servicing Advances” or “Additional Trust Fund Expenses” (or analogous terms) (each as defined in the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement), (i) the Master Servicer shall, promptly following notice from the Non-Trust Master Servicer, reimburse the Non-Trust Master Servicer, the Non-Trust Special Servicer, the Non-Trust Certificate Administrator or the Non-Trust Trustee, as applicable (such reimbursement, to the extent owed to the Non-Trust Special Servicer, the Non-Trust Certificate Administrator or the Non-Trust Trustee, may be paid by the Master Servicer to the Non-Trust Master Servicer, who shall pay such amounts to the Non-Trust Special Servicer, the Non-Trust Certificate Administrator or the Non-Trust Trustee, as applicable), out of general collections in the Collection Account for the Trust’s pro rata share of any such “Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances” and/or “Additional Trust Fund Expenses”, and (ii) if the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement permits the Non-Trust Master Servicer, the Non-Trust Special Servicer, the Non-Trust Certificate Administrator or the Non-Trust Trustee to reimburse itself from the related trust’s general collections, then the parties to this Agreement hereby acknowledge and agree that the Non-Trust Master Servicer, the Non-Trust Special Servicer, the Non-Trust Certificate Administrator or the Non-Trust Trustee, as applicable, may do so and the Master Servicer shall be required to, promptly following notice from the Non-Trust Master Servicer, reimburse the related trust out of general collections in the Collection Account for the Trust’s pro rata share of any such “Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances” and/or “Additional Trust Fund Expenses”;

 

(ii)         each of the Indemnified Parties shall be indemnified (as and to the same extent the related trust established pursuant to the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement is required to indemnify each of such Indemnified Parties in respect of other mortgage loans in such trust pursuant to the terms of the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement) by the Trust, against any of the Indemnified Items to the extent of the Trust’s pro rata share of such Indemnified Items, and to the extent amounts on deposit in the “Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account” (as such term or other similar term is defined in the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement) are insufficient for reimbursement of such amounts, the Master Servicer shall, promptly following notice from the Non-Trust Master Servicer, reimburse each of the applicable Indemnified Parties for the Trust’s pro rata share of the insufficiency out of general funds in the Collection Account;

 

(iii)        the Certificate Administrator shall deliver to the Non-Trust Trustee, the Non-Trust Certificate Administrator, the Non-Trust Special Servicer, the Non-Trust Master Servicer and the Non-Trust Trust Advisor (with a copy to

 

159
 

 

be sent to the Master Servicer and Special Servicer) (A) promptly following the Closing Date, written notice in the form of Exhibit U attached hereto, stating that, as of the Closing Date, the Trustee is the holder of such Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan and directing each such recipient to remit to the Master Servicer all amounts payable to, and to forward, deliver or otherwise make available, as the case may be, to the Master Servicer all reports, statements, documents, communications and other information that are to be forwarded, delivered or otherwise made available to, the holder of such Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan under the related Intercreditor Agreement and the Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement (which notice shall also provide contact information for the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the party designated to exercise the rights of the “Non-Controlling Note Holder” under each Intercreditor Agreement), and (B) notice of any subsequent change in the identity of the Master Servicer; and

 

(iv)        the Non-Trust Master Servicer, the Non-Trust Special Servicer and the related trust established pursuant to the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 3.01(h).

 

(i)          In the event that any Mortgage Loan included in any Serviced Loan Combination is no longer part of the Trust Fund, such Mortgage Loan and the related Serviced Loan Combination shall continue to be serviced and administered under this Agreement by the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer until a successor servicing agreement, acceptable to the parties thereto, is entered into with the consent of the holder of such Mortgage Loan and the related Companion Loan; provided, however, that, as of the time such Mortgage Loan is no longer part of the Trust Fund, such Serviced Loan Combination and the related Mortgaged Property shall be serviced for the benefit of the holders of such Serviced Loan Combination as if they were the sole assets serviced and administered hereunder, and the sole source of funds hereunder (other than with respect to the reimbursement of Nonrecoverable Advances made while such Mortgage Loan was part of the Trust Fund) and that there shall be no further obligation of any Person to make P&I Advances. The Master Servicing Fee, the Special Servicing Fee, the Liquidation Fee and/or the Workout Fee with respect to such Serviced Loan Combination shall continue to be calculated based on the entire principal amount of such Serviced Loan Combination. All amounts due the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer (including Advances and interest thereon) pursuant to this Agreement and the applicable Intercreditor Agreement shall be paid to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer on the first Master Servicer Remittance Date following removal of the Mortgage Loan from the Trust Fund and any related Master Servicer Remittance Date thereafter. In addition, until such time as a separate servicing agreement with respect to such Serviced Loan Combination and any related REO Property has been entered into, notwithstanding that neither such Mortgage Loan nor any related REO Property is part of the Trust Fund, the Custodian shall continue to hold the Mortgage File.

 

Section 3.02        Collection of Mortgage Loan Payments. (a) Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall make efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard and the terms of this Agreement to collect all payments required under the terms and provisions of the respective Serviced Mortgage Loans and any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan it is obligated to service hereunder (including, without limitation, all Special Servicing Fees,

 

160
 

 

Workout Fees, Liquidation Fees and other fees and compensation payable to the Master Servicer and to the Special Servicer to the extent the Borrower is obligated to pay such amounts pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan Documents); and shall follow such collection procedures as are consistent with the Servicing Standard; provided that the Master Servicer shall not, with respect to any Mortgage Loan that constitutes an ARD Mortgage Loan after its Anticipated Repayment Date, take any enforcement action with respect to the payment of Post-ARD Additional Interest (other than the making of requests for its collection), and the Special Servicer may do so only if (A) such Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and (B) either (i) the taking of an enforcement action with respect to the payment of other amounts due under such Mortgage Loan is, in the reasonable judgment of the Special Servicer, and without regard to such Post-ARD Additional Interest, also necessary, appropriate and consistent with the Servicing Standard or (ii) all other amounts due under such Mortgage Loan have been paid, the payment of such Post-ARD Additional Interest has not been forgiven in accordance with Section 3.20 and, in the reasonable judgment of the Special Servicer, exercised in accordance with the Servicing Standard, the Liquidation Proceeds expected to be recovered in connection with such enforcement action will cover the anticipated costs of such enforcement action and, if applicable, any associated Post-ARD Additional Interest; provided that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may take action to enforce the Trust Fund’s right to apply excess cash flow to principal in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents. Consistent with the foregoing, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may grant case-by-case waivers of Default Charges in connection with a late payment on a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan.

 

(b)          At least ninety (90) days prior to the Stated Maturity Date of each Balloon Mortgage Loan that is a Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall send a notice to the related Borrower of such maturity date (with a copy to be sent to the Special Servicer) and shall request confirmation that the Balloon Payment will be paid by such maturity date.

 

(c)          With respect to each Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan, if the Master Servicer does not receive from a Non-Trust Master Servicer any Monthly Payment or other amounts known by the Master Servicer to be owing on a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms of the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement and/or the related Intercreditor Agreement, then the Master Servicer shall provide notice of such failure to the related Non-Trust Master Servicer and the related Non-Trust Trustee.

 

Section 3.03        Collection of Taxes, Assessments and Similar Items; Servicing Accounts; Reserve Accounts. (a) The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more segregated accounts (“Servicing Accounts”), in which all Escrow Payments received by it with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, shall be deposited and retained, separate and apart from its own funds. Subject to any terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents that specify the nature of the account in which Escrow Payments shall be held, each Servicing Account shall be an Eligible Account. As and to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard, applicable law and the related Mortgage Loan Documents, the Master Servicer may make withdrawals from the Servicing Accounts maintained by it, and may apply Escrow Payments held therein with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (together with interest earned thereon), only as follows: (i) to effect the payment of real estate taxes, assessments, insurance premiums (including,

 

161
 

 

premiums on any Environmental Insurance Policy), ground rents (if applicable) and comparable items in respect of the related Mortgaged Property; (ii) to reimburse the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, for any unreimbursed Servicing Advances made thereby with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan to cover any of the items described in the immediately preceding clause (i); (iii) to refund to the related Borrower any sums as may be determined to be overages; (iv) to pay interest or other income, if required and as described below, to the related Borrower on balances in the related Servicing Account (or, if and to the extent not payable to the related Borrower to pay such interest or other income (up to the amount of any Net Investment Earnings in respect of such Servicing Account for each Collection Period) to the Master Servicer); (v) disburse Insurance Proceeds if required to be applied to the repair or restoration of the related Mortgaged Property, (vi) after an event of default, to pay the principal of, accrued interest on and any other amounts payable with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan; (vii) to withdraw amounts deposited in a Servicing Account in error; or (viii) to clear and terminate the Servicing Accounts at the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.01. The Master Servicer shall pay or cause to be paid to the related Borrowers interest and other income, if any, earned on the investment of funds in Servicing Accounts maintained thereby, if and to the extent required by law or the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents. If the Master Servicer shall deposit in a Servicing Account maintained by it any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from such Servicing Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. Promptly after any Escrow Payments are received by the Special Servicer from the Borrower under any Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, and in any event within one Business Day after any such receipt, the Special Servicer shall remit such Escrow Payments to the Master Servicer for deposit in the applicable Servicing Account(s).

 

(b)          The Master Servicer shall as to each related Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (including each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan): (i) maintain accurate records with respect to the related Mortgaged Property reflecting the status of real estate taxes, assessments and other similar items that are or may become a lien thereon and the status of insurance premiums and any ground rents payable in respect thereof and (ii) use reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such items (including renewal premiums) and effect payment thereof prior to the applicable penalty or termination date. For purposes of effecting any such payment with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, the Master Servicer shall apply Escrow Payments as allowed under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents; provided that if such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan does not require the related Borrower to escrow for the payment of real estate taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, ground rents (if applicable) and similar items, the Master Servicer (or, if such Mortgage Loan or the related Serviced Loan Combination becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer) shall, subject to and in accordance with the Servicing Standard, use reasonable efforts to enforce the requirement of the related Mortgage Loan Documents that the related Borrower make payments in respect of such items at the time they first become due.

 

(c)          In accordance with the Servicing Standard, but subject to Section 3.11(h), the Master Servicer, with respect to each related Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu

 

162
 

 

Companion Loan (including each such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan that is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan) shall make a Servicing Advance with respect to the related Mortgaged Property in an amount equal to all such funds as are necessary for the purpose of effecting the timely payment of (i) real estate taxes, assessments and other similar items, (ii) ground rents (if applicable), and (iii) premiums on Insurance Policies (including, premiums on any Environmental Insurance Policy), in each instance prior to the applicable penalty or termination date, in each instance if and to the extent that (x) Escrow Payments (if any) collected from the related Borrower are insufficient to pay such item when due, and (y) the related Borrower has failed to pay such item on a timely basis; provided that, in the case of amounts described in the preceding clause (i), the Master Servicer shall not make a Servicing Advance of any such amount if the Master Servicer reasonably anticipates (in accordance with the Servicing Standard) that such amounts will be paid by the related Borrower on or before the applicable penalty date, in which case the Master Servicer shall use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to confirm whether such amounts have been paid and, subject to Section 3.11(h), shall make a Servicing Advance of such amounts, if necessary, not later than five (5) Business Days following confirmation by the Master Servicer that such amounts have not been paid by the applicable penalty date. All such Advances shall be reimbursable in the first instance from related collections from the Borrowers and further as provided in Section 3.05(a). No costs incurred by the Master Servicer in effecting the payment of real estate taxes, assessments and, if applicable, ground rents on or in respect of any Mortgaged Property shall, for purposes hereof, including calculating monthly distributions to Certificateholders, be added to the respective unpaid principal balances or Stated Principal Balances of the subject Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, notwithstanding that the terms of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan so permit; provided that this sentence shall not be construed to limit the rights of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust to enforce any obligations of the related Borrower under such Mortgage Loan.

 

(d)           The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more accounts, which may be sub-account(s) of the Servicing Accounts or segregated account(s) (“Reserve Accounts”), in which all Reserve Funds, if any, received by it with respect to the Serviced Mortgage Loans or any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, shall be deposited and retained, separate and apart from its own funds. Subject to any terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents that specify the nature of the account in which Reserve Funds shall be held, each Reserve Account shall be an Eligible Account. As and to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard, applicable law and the related Mortgage Loan Documents, the Master Servicer may make withdrawals from the Reserve Accounts maintained by it, and may apply Reserve Funds held therein with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (together with interest earned thereon), only as follows: (i) in the case of Reserve Funds that are intended to cover specific costs and expenses, to pay for, or to reimburse the related Borrower in connection with, the costs associated with the related tenant improvements, leasing commissions, repairs, replacements, capital improvements and/or environmental testing and remediation, litigation and/or other special expenses at or with respect to the related Mortgaged Property for which such Reserve Funds were intended and to refund the related Borrower any sums as may be determined to be overages; (ii) in the case of Reserve Funds intended to cover debt service payments, to apply amounts on deposit therein in respect of principal and interest on such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan; (iii) to reimburse the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, for any

 

163
 

 

unreimbursed Advances made thereby with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan to cover any of the items described in the immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii) (or, if any such Advance has become an Unliquidated Advance, to transfer to the Collection Account an amount equal to the reimbursement that would otherwise have been made as described in this clause (iii)); (iv) subject to Section 3.20, to release such Reserve Funds to the related Borrower if the conditions precedent for such release are satisfied or otherwise apply such Reserve Funds in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan Documents if the conditions precedent for such release are not satisfied; (v) to pay interest or other income, if required and as described below, to the related Borrower on balances in the Reserve Account (or, if and to the extent not payable to the related Borrower, to pay such interest or other income (up to the amount of any Net Investment Earnings in respect of such Reserve Account for each Collection Period) to the Master Servicer); (vi) to withdraw amounts deposited in such Reserve Account in error; (vii) after an event of default, to pay the principal of, accrued interest on, and any other amounts payable with respect to such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan; or (viii) to clear and terminate the Reserve Account at the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.01. If the Borrower under any Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan delivers a Letter of Credit in lieu of Reserve Funds, then the Master Servicer, subject to Section 3.20, shall make draws on or reduce the amount of such Letter of Credit at such times and for such purposes as it would have made withdrawals from or reductions of the amount of a Reserve Account and, to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard, applicable law and the related Mortgage Loan Documents, in order to convert the amount of such Letter of Credit into Reserve Funds. Promptly after any Reserve Funds are received by the Special Servicer from any Borrower, and in any event within one Business Day of such receipt, the Special Servicer shall remit such Reserve Funds to the Master Servicer for deposit in the applicable Reserve Account(s). Any out-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to enable the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, to make any draw under any Letter of Credit shall constitute a Servicing Advance, and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall make reasonable efforts to recover such expenses from the related Borrower to the extent the Borrower is required to pay such expenses under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan.

 

(e)           To the extent an operations and maintenance plan is required to be established and executed pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents for a Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, the Master Servicer shall request from the related Borrower written confirmation thereof within a reasonable time after the later of the Closing Date and the date as of which such plan is required to be established or completed. To the extent any other action or remediation with respect to environmental matters is required to have been taken or completed pursuant to the terms of a Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, the Master Servicer shall request from the related Borrower written confirmation of such action and remediation within a reasonable time after the later of the Closing Date and the date as of which such action or remediation are required to have been taken or completed. To the extent that a Borrower shall fail to promptly respond to any inquiry described in this Section 3.03(e), the Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee, the Special Servicer, the Subordinate Class Representative (other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan), the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder (other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan) and (if affected) the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s).

 

164
 

 

The Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Trustee, the Special Servicer, the Subordinate Class Representative (other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan) and any affected Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders if the Master Servicer determines that the Borrower under any Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan has failed to perform its obligations under such Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan in respect of environmental matters.

 

(f)          Subject to applicable law and the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents, funds in the Servicing Accounts and the Reserve Accounts may be invested only in Permitted Investments in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.06.

 

(g)          With respect to each Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan that requires the related Borrower to establish and maintain one or more lock-box, cash management or similar accounts, the Master Servicer shall establish and maintain, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, such account(s) in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents. No such lock-box account is required to be an Eligible Account, unless the Mortgage Loan Documents otherwise so require. The Master Servicer shall apply the funds deposited in such accounts in accordance with terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents, any lock-box, cash management or similar agreement and the Servicing Standard.

 

Section 3.04       Collection Account, Distribution Account, Interest Reserve Account, Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account, Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account and Loss of Value Reserve Fund. (a) The Master Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received by it in connection with the Mortgage Loans separate and apart from its own funds and general assets. In connection therewith, the Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more segregated accounts as the Collection Account, in which the funds described below are to be deposited and held on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders. Each account that constitutes the Collection Account shall be an Eligible Account. The Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the Collection Account, within two Business Days of receipt (or in the case of any Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loans, by 11:00 a.m. New York City time, on such second Business Day) by it of properly identified funds (in the case of payments by Borrowers or other collections on the Mortgage Loans) or as otherwise required hereunder, the following payments and collections received or made by or on behalf of the Master Servicer subsequent to the Closing Date with respect to the Mortgage Loans and any REO Properties acquired in respect thereof (other than in respect of scheduled payments of principal and interest due and payable on such Mortgage Loans on or before their respective Cut-off Dates (or, in the case of a Replacement Mortgage Loan, on or before the related date of substitution), which payments shall be delivered promptly to the related Mortgage Loan Seller or its designee, with negotiable instruments endorsed as necessary and appropriate without recourse):

 

(i)         all payments (from whatever source) on account of principal of such Mortgage Loans, including Principal Prepayments;

 

(ii)        all payments (from whatever source) on account of interest on such Mortgage Loans, including Default Interest;

 

165
 

 

(iii)      all Prepayment Premiums, Yield Maintenance Charges and/or late payment charges received with respect to such Mortgage Loans;

 

(iv)       all Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds received with respect to such Mortgage Loans and/or, insofar as such payments and/or proceeds represent amounts allocable to reimburse Servicing Advances or pay Liquidation Expenses and/or other servicing expenses in respect of the entire Serviced Loan Combination of which any such Mortgage Loan is part;

 

(v)        any amounts relating to such Serviced Mortgage Loans and/or Administered REO Properties required to be deposited by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.07(c) in connection with losses resulting from a deductible clause in a blanket or master force-placed hazard insurance policy;

 

(vi)       any amounts relating to an REO Property required to be transferred from the REO Account pursuant to Section 3.16(c);

 

(vii)     to the extent not otherwise included in another clause of this Section 3.04(a), any payments collected in respect of Unliquidated Advances on such Mortgage Loans in respect of amounts previously determined to constitute Nonrecoverable Advances;

 

(viii)     insofar as they do not constitute Escrow Payments or Reserve Funds, any amounts relating to such Mortgage Loans paid by a Borrower specifically to cover items for which a Servicing Advance has been made or that represent a recovery of property protection expenses from a Borrower; and

 

(ix)       any Loss of Value Payments, as set forth in Section 3.05(h) of this Agreement.

 

Furthermore, the Master Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account any amounts required to be deposited by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.06, as and when required by such section, in connection with losses incurred with respect to Permitted Investments of funds held in the Collection Account.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing requirements, the Master Servicer need not deposit into the Collection Account any amount that the Master Servicer would be authorized to withdraw immediately from the Collection Account in accordance with the terms of Section 3.05 and shall be entitled to instead pay such amount directly to the Person(s) entitled thereto.

 

The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Collection Account shall be exclusive. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, actual payments from Borrowers in the nature of Escrow Payments, Reserve Funds, Assumption Fees, Assumption Application Fees, earn-out fees, extension fees, Modification Fees, charges for beneficiary statements or demands, amounts collected for checks returned for insufficient funds and other fees and amounts collected from Borrowers that constitute Additional Master Servicing Compensation and/or Additional Special

 

166
 

 

Servicing Compensation, need not be deposited by the Master Servicer in the Collection Account. The Master Servicer shall promptly, and in any event within two (2) Business Days of the Master Servicer’s receipt of same, deliver to the Special Servicer any of the foregoing items received by it with respect to any Mortgage Loan, if and to the extent that such items constitute Additional Special Servicing Compensation payable to the Special Servicer. If the Master Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from the Collection Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

 

Upon receipt of any of the amounts described in clauses (i) through (iv) and (vii) through (viii) of the first paragraph of this Section 3.04(a) with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day after receipt, remit such amounts to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account, unless the Special Servicer determines, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that a particular item should not be deposited because of a restrictive endorsement. With respect to any such amounts paid by check to the order of the Special Servicer, the Special Servicer shall endorse such check to the order of the Master Servicer (in its capacity as such), without recourse, representation or warranty, unless the Special Servicer determines, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that a particular item cannot be so endorsed and delivered because of a restrictive endorsement. Any such amounts received by the Special Servicer with respect to an Administered REO Property shall be deposited by the Special Servicer into the REO Account and remitted to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.16(c).

 

(b)           The Certificate Administrator shall establish and maintain one or more segregated accounts (collectively, the “Distribution Account”), to be held on behalf of the Trustee and in the name of the Certificate Administrator for the benefit of the Certificateholders. Each account that constitutes the Distribution Account shall be an Eligible Account. Not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Master Servicer Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Certificate Administrator, for deposit in the Distribution Account, an aggregate amount of immediately available funds equal to the related Master Servicer Remittance Amount for the Master Servicer Remittance Date. In addition, the Master Servicer shall, as and when required hereunder, deliver to the Certificate Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account any P&I Advances and Compensating Interest Payments required to be made by the Master Servicer hereunder. Furthermore, any amounts paid by any party hereto to indemnify the Trust Fund pursuant to any provision hereof shall be delivered to the Certificate Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account. The Certificate Administrator shall, upon receipt, deposit in the Distribution Account any and all amounts received or, pursuant to Section 4.03, advanced by the Trustee that are required by the terms of this Agreement to be deposited therein. As and when required pursuant to Section 3.05(c), the Certificate Administrator shall transfer Interest Reserve Amounts in respect of the Interest Reserve Loans from the Interest Reserve Account to the Distribution Account. Furthermore, as and when required pursuant to Section 3.05(d), the Certificate Administrator shall transfer monies from the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account to the Distribution Account. The Certificate Administrator shall also deposit in the Distribution Account any amounts required to be deposited by the Certificate Administrator pursuant to Section 3.06 in connection with losses incurred with respect to Permitted Investments of funds held in the Distribution Account. If the Certificate Administrator shall deposit in the Distribution Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time

 

167
 

 

withdraw such amount from the Distribution Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

 

(c)           The Certificate Administrator shall establish and maintain one or more accounts (collectively, the “Interest Reserve Account”) to be held in its name for the benefit of the Trustee and the Certificateholders. Each account that constitutes the Interest Reserve Account shall be an Eligible Account or a sub-account of the Distribution Account. On the Distribution Date in January (except during a leap year) and February of each calendar year, commencing in 2016, prior to any distributions being made with respect to the Certificates on such Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall, with respect to each Interest Reserve Loan, withdraw from the Distribution Account and deposit in the Interest Reserve Account an amount equal to the Interest Reserve Amount, if any, in respect of such Interest Reserve Loan for such Distribution Date; provided that no such transfer of monies from the Distribution Account to the Interest Reserve Account shall be made on the Final Distribution Date. The Certificate Administrator shall also deposit in the Interest Reserve Account from its own funds any amounts required to be deposited by the Certificate Administrator pursuant to Section 3.06 in connection with losses incurred with respect to Permitted Investments of funds held in the Interest Reserve Account.

 

Notwithstanding that the Interest Reserve Account may be a sub-account of the Distribution Account for reasons of administrative convenience, the Interest Reserve Account and the Distribution Account shall, for all purposes of this Agreement (including the obligations and responsibilities of the Certificate Administrator hereunder), be considered to be and shall be required to be treated as, separate and distinct accounts.

 

(d)          If any Excess Liquidation Proceeds are received, the Certificate Administrator shall establish and maintain one or more accounts (collectively, the “Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account”) to be held on behalf and in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders. Each account that constitutes the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account shall be an Eligible Account (or a separately identified sub-account of the Distribution Account, provided that for all purposes of this Agreement (including the obligations of the Certificate Administrator hereunder) such account shall be considered to be and shall be required to be treated as separate and distinct from the Distribution Account). On the Master Servicer Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall withdraw from the Collection Account and remit to the Certificate Administrator for deposit in the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account all Excess Liquidation Proceeds received by it during the Collection Period ending on the Determination Date immediately prior to the Master Servicer Remittance Date. The Certificate Administrator shall also deposit in the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account from its own funds any amounts required to be deposited by the Certificate Administrator pursuant to Section 3.06 in connection with losses incurred with respect to Permitted Investments of funds held in the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account. For the avoidance of doubt, each of the Collection Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account, the REO Account, any Reserve Account, any Servicing Account, and the portion of the Distribution Account in respect of REMIC I (including interest, if any, earned on the investment of funds in such accounts) will be owned by REMIC I; the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account (including interest, if any, earned on the investment of funds in such account) will be owned by the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders as described in Section 3.04(h); and the Loss of Value Fund (including interest, if any, earned on the investment of funds in such account) will be

 

168
 

 

owned by the applicable Mortgage Loan Sellers as described in Section 3.04(g), each for federal income tax purposes.

 

(e)           [Reserved].

 

(f)           Funds in the Collection Account, the Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account, the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account and the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account may be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.06. The Master Servicer shall give notice to the other parties hereto of the location of the Collection Account as of the Closing Date and of the new location of the Collection Account prior to any change thereof. Notwithstanding the first sentence of this Section 3.04(f), for as long as WFB acts as Certificate Administrator hereunder, all funds held in the Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account and the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account shall remain uninvested.

 

(g)           If any Loss of Value Payments are received in connection with a Material Document Defect or Material Breach, as the case may be, pursuant to or as contemplated by Section 2.03(h) of this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more accounts (collectively, the “Loss of Value Reserve Fund”) to be held in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders, for purposes of holding such Loss of Value Payments. Each account that constitutes the Loss of Value Reserve Fund shall be an Eligible Account or a sub-account of an Eligible Account. The Special Servicer shall, upon receipt, deposit in the Loss of Value Reserve Fund all Loss of Value Payments received by it. The Loss of Value Reserve Fund shall be accounted for as an outside reserve fund within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(h) and not an asset of any REMIC Pool. Furthermore, for all federal tax purposes, the Certificate Administrator shall (i) treat amounts paid out of the Loss of Value Reserve Fund through the Collection Account to the Certificateholders as damages paid to and distributed by the REMIC Pools on account of a breach of a representation or warranty by the related Mortgage Loan Seller and (ii) treat any amounts paid out of the Loss of Value Reserve Fund through the Collection Account to a Mortgage Loan Seller as distributions by the Trust Fund to such Mortgage Loan Seller as beneficial owner of the Loss of Value Reserve Fund. The applicable Mortgage Loan Seller will be the beneficial owner of the related account in the Loss of Value Reserve Fund for all federal income tax purposes, and shall be taxable on all income earned thereon.

 

(h)           The Master Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received by it in connection with the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loans separate and apart from its own funds and general assets. In connection therewith, if there are one or more Serviced Loan Combinations related to this Trust, the Master Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more segregated accounts (the “Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account”), in which the funds described below are to be deposited and held on behalf of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) (and which accounts may be maintained as separately identified sub-accounts of the Collection Account, provided that for all purposes of this Agreement (including the obligations of the Master Servicer hereunder) such accounts shall be considered to be and shall be required to be treated as separate and distinct from the Collection Account, and provided further that no collections in respect of one or more Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loans relating to a single Serviced Loan Combination and on deposit in the Serviced

 

169
 

 

Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account shall be applied in respect of, or shall be applied to cover any fees or expenses in respect of, one or more Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loans relating to another Serviced Loan Combination). The Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account shall be an Eligible Account or a sub-account of an Eligible Account. The Master Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited in the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account, within two Business Days of receipt by it of properly identified funds or as otherwise required hereunder, the following payments and collections received or made by or on behalf of the Master Servicer in respect of the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loans subsequent to the Closing Date:

 

(i)         all payments (from whatever source) on account of principal of the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loans, including Principal Prepayments;

 

(ii)        all payments (from whatever source) on account of interest on the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loans, including Default Interest;

 

(iii)       all Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges received in respect of the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loans;

 

(iv)       all Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds received in respect of, and allocable as interest (including Default Interest) on, principal of or Prepayment Premiums or Yield Maintenance Charges with respect to, the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loans (or any successor REO Mortgage Loans with respect thereto);

 

(v)        any amounts required to be deposited by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.06 in connection with losses incurred with respect to Permitted Investments of funds held in the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account;

 

(vi)       any amounts required to be deposited by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.07(c) in connection with losses on the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loans (or any successor interest in REO Mortgage Loans with respect thereto) resulting from a deductible clause in a blanket or master force-placed hazard insurance policy;

 

(vii)      any amounts required to be transferred to the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account from the REO Account pursuant to Section 3.16(c); and

 

(viii)     any other amounts received and applied on the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loans pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreements.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing requirements, the Master Servicer need not deposit into the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account any amount that the Master Servicer would be authorized to withdraw immediately from the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account in accordance with the terms of Section 3.05 and shall be entitled to instead pay such amount directly to the Person(s) entitled thereto.

 

170
 

 

The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account shall be exclusive. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, actual payments from the applicable Borrower in the nature of Escrow Payments, Reserve Funds, Assumption Fees, Assumption Application Fees, earn-out fees, extension fees, Modification Fees, charges for beneficiary statements or demands, amounts collected for checks returned for insufficient funds and other fees and amounts collected from the applicable Borrower that constitute Additional Master Servicing Compensation and/or Additional Special Servicing Compensation, need not be deposited by the Master Servicer in the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account. The Master Servicer shall promptly deliver to the Special Servicer any of the foregoing items received by it with respect to any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, if and to the extent that such items constitute Additional Special Servicing Compensation with respect to such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan. If the Master Servicer shall deposit in the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account any amount not required to be deposited therein, it may at any time withdraw such amount from the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

 

Upon receipt of any of the amounts described in clauses (i) through (iv) of the first paragraph of this Section 3.04(h), the Special Servicer shall promptly, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days after receipt, remit such amounts to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account, unless the Special Servicer determines, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that a particular item should not be deposited because of a restrictive endorsement or because of another appropriate reason that is consistent with the Servicing Standard. With respect to any such amounts paid by check to the order of the Special Servicer, the Special Servicer shall endorse such check to the order of the Master Servicer (in its capacity as such), without recourse, representation or warranty, unless the Special Servicer determines, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that a particular item cannot be so endorsed and delivered because of a restrictive endorsement or because of another appropriate reason that is consistent with the Servicing Standard. Any such amounts received by the Special Servicer with respect to an Administered REO Property relating to a Serviced Loan Combination shall be deposited by the Special Servicer into the REO Account and, insofar as such amounts are allocable as interest on, principal of, or Prepayment Premiums or Yield Maintenance Charges with respect to any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan or any successor REO Mortgage Loans with respect thereto, shall be remitted to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account pursuant to Section 3.16(c) (subject to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement). Any remittances by the Special Servicer under this paragraph may be made as part of an aggregate remittance under this paragraph and/or the final paragraph of Section 3.04(a).

 

(i)            To the extent of any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder’s interest therein, the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account shall be treated as an “outside reserve fund” within the meaning of the REMIC Provisions, beneficially owned by the applicable Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders, who shall be liable for any tax on its share of any reinvestment income thereon, and who shall be deemed to receive any related reimbursements from the Trust Fund.

 

171
 

 

(j)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, with respect to each Due Date and any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, within one Business Day after the related Determination Date, the Master Servicer shall remit, from amounts on deposit in the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account, to the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder or an agent therefor appearing on any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder Register on the related date such amounts as are required to be remitted (or, if no such account so appears or information relating thereto is not provided at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date such amounts are required to be remitted, by check sent by first class mail to the address of any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder or its agent appearing on any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder Register) the portion of any Serviced Loan Combination Remittance Amount allocable to such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder.

177
 

 

Mortgage Loan or REO Property out of the Collection Account pursuant to any of clauses (ii), (v) and (vi) of the first paragraph of this Section 3.05(a)(I), and any payments of interest thereon out of the Collection Account pursuant to either of clauses (vii) and (viii) of the first paragraph of this Section 3.05(a)(I), shall be made (to the extent of their respective entitlements to such reimbursements and/or payments): first, to the Trustee; and second, pro rata, to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer.

 

The Master Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting records, on a loan-by-loan and property-by-property basis when appropriate, in connection with any withdrawal from the Collection Account pursuant to any of clauses (ii) through (xviii) of the first paragraph of this Section 3.05(a)(I).

 

The Master Servicer shall pay to the Special Servicer, and, subject to Section 3.01(h)(i), each Non-Trust Master Servicer, each Non-Trust Special Servicer, each Non-Trust Certificate Administrator or each Non-Trust Trustee, as applicable, from the Collection Account on each Master Servicer Remittance Date amounts permitted to be paid to the Special Servicer, each Non-Trust Master Servicer, each Non-Trust Special Servicer, each Non-Trust Certificate Administrator or each Non-Trust Trustee, as applicable, therefrom based upon an Officer’s Certificate received from the Special Servicer, the related Non-Trust Master Servicer, the related Non-Trust Special Servicer, the related Non-Trust Certificate Administrator or the related Non-Trust Trustee, as applicable, on the first Business Day following the immediately preceding Determination Date, describing the item and amount to which the Special Servicer, such Non-Trust Master Servicer, such Non-Trust Special Servicer, such Non-Trust Certificate Administrator or such Non-Trust Trustee, as applicable, is entitled. The Master Servicer may rely conclusively on any such certificate and shall have no duty to recalculate the amounts stated therein. The Special Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting for each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and REO Property as to which it is the Special Servicer on a loan-by-loan and property-by-property basis, for the purpose of justifying any request thereby for withdrawal from the Collection Account.

 

Subsection (II). The provisions of this subsection (II) of this Section 3.05(a) shall apply notwithstanding any contrary provision of subsection (I) of this Section 3.05(a):

(i)            Identification of Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts: If any Advance made with respect to any Mortgage Loan on or before the date on which such Mortgage Loan becomes (or, but for the making of three monthly payments under its modified terms, would then constitute) a Corrected Mortgage Loan, together with (to the extent theretofore accrued and unpaid) Advance Interest thereon, is not pursuant to the operation of the provisions of Section 3.05(a)(I) reimbursed to the Person who made such Advance on or before the date, if any, on which such Mortgage Loan becomes a Corrected Mortgage Loan (or, but for the making of three monthly payments under its modified terms, would constitute a Mortgage Loan that is a Corrected Mortgage Loan), such Advance, together with such Advance Interest, shall constitute a “Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount” to the extent that such amount has not been determined to constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. All references herein to “Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount” shall be construed always to mean the related Advance and (to the extent theretofore accrued and unpaid) any Advance Interest thereon, together with (to the extent it remains unpaid) any further Advance Interest that accrues on the

 

178
 

 

unreimbursed portion of such Advance from time to time in accordance with the other provisions of this Agreement. That any amount constitutes all or a portion of any Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount shall not in any manner limit the right of any Person hereunder to determine that such amount instead constitutes a Nonrecoverable Advance.

 

(ii)           General Relationship of Provisions. Subsection (iii) below (subject to the terms, conditions and limitations thereof) sets forth the terms of and conditions to the right of a Person to be reimbursed for any Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount to the extent that such Person is not otherwise entitled to reimbursement and payment of such Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount pursuant to the operation of Section 3.05(a)(I) above (construed without regard to the reference therein to this subsection except that it is nonetheless hereby acknowledged that, for purposes of “Late Collections” in Section 3.05(a)(I), funds received on the related Mortgage Loan shall be applied in accordance with the terms of the applicable modification even though such application may result in an Advance continuing to be outstanding when the Borrower is current in its payments under the terms of the Mortgage Loan as modified). Subsection (iv) below (subject to the terms, conditions and limitations thereof) authorizes or permits the Master Servicer, under certain circumstances, to abstain from reimbursing itself (or, if applicable, the Trustee to abstain from obtaining reimbursement) for Nonrecoverable Advances at its sole option. Upon any determination that all or any portion of a Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount constitutes a Nonrecoverable Advance, then the reimbursement or payment of such amount (and any further Advance Interest that may accrue thereon) shall cease to be subject to the operation of subsection (iii) below, such amount (and further Advance Interest) shall be as fully payable and reimbursable to the relevant Person as would any other Nonrecoverable Advance (and Advance Interest thereon) and, as a Nonrecoverable Advance, such amount may become the subject of the Master Servicer’s (or, if applicable, the Trustee’s) exercise of its sole option authorized by subsection (iv) below.

 

(iii)          Reimbursements of Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts: The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to reimbursement and payment (and, notwithstanding any contrary provision of subsection (I) above, shall be entitled to withdraw and pay to itself the amount of such reimbursement and payment) for all Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts in each Collection Period (and it is again hereby acknowledged that, for purposes of “Late Collections” in Section 3.05(a)(I), funds received on the related Mortgage Loan shall be applied in accordance with the terms of the applicable modification even though such application may result in an Advance continuing to be outstanding when the Borrower is current in its payments under the terms of the Mortgage Loan as modified); provided that the aggregate amount (for all such Persons collectively) of such reimbursements and payments from amounts advanced or collected on the Mortgage Pool in such Collection Period shall not exceed (and the reimbursement and payment shall be made from) the aggregate principal portions of P&I Advances and principal collections and recoveries on the Mortgage Pool for such Collection Period contemplated by clauses (i) through (v) of the definition of “Unadjusted Principal Distribution Amount”, net of the aggregate deduction amounts for Nonrecoverable Advances (and accrued and unpaid Advance

 

179
 

 

Interest thereon) that were reimbursed or paid during the related Collection Period from principal collections on the Mortgage Pool, as described by clause (II)(B) of the definition of “Principal Distribution Amount” and pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(II)(iv). As and to the extent provided in clause (II)(A) of the definition thereof, the Principal Distribution Amount for the Distribution Date related to such Collection Period shall be reduced to the extent that such payment or reimbursement of a Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount is made from aggregate principal collections pursuant to the preceding sentence.

 

Any collections (as applied under Section 1.03) received on or in respect of the Mortgage Loans during a Collection Period that, in each case, represents a delinquent amount as to which an Advance had been made, which Advance was previously reimbursed during the Collection Period for a prior Distribution Date as part of a Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amount, shall be added to and constitute a part of the Principal Distribution Amount for the related Distribution Date (pursuant to clause (I)(B) of the definition of “Principal Distribution Amount”) to the extent of all Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts on or in respect of such respective Mortgage Loan that were reimbursed from collections of principal on the Mortgage Pool in all prior Collection Periods pursuant to the preceding paragraph.

 

The Certificate Administrator (and, with respect to Advances made by the Master Servicer or the Trustee) shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon any direction or notice received from the Master Servicer in connection with any determination made by the Master Servicer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.05(a)(II)(iii) and shall not be obligated to independently verify, monitor or oversee any such determination.

 

(iv)          Sole Option to Abstain from Reimbursements of Certain Nonrecoverable Advances. To the extent that Section 3.05(a)(I) entitles the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee to reimbursement for any Nonrecoverable Advance (or payment of Advance Interest thereon from a source other than Default Charges on the related Mortgage Loan) during any Collection Period, then, notwithstanding any contrary provision of subsection (I) above, (a) to the extent that one or more such reimbursements and payments of Nonrecoverable Advances (and such Advance Interest thereon) are made, they shall be made, first, from the aggregate principal portions of P&I Advances and principal collections and recoveries on the Mortgage Pool for such Collection Period contemplated by clauses (i) through (v) of the definition of “Unadjusted Principal Distribution Amount”, and then from other amounts advanced or collected on the Mortgage Pool for such Collection Period; provided that, if so provided as set forth below, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall provide each Rating Agency with at least fifteen (15) days’ notice before any reimbursement shall be made of a Nonrecoverable Advance (or payment of Advance Interest thereon from a source other than Default Charges on the related Mortgage Loan from such other amounts advanced or collected on the Mortgage Pool for such Collection Period, and (b) if and to the extent that the amount of such a Nonrecoverable Advance (and Advance Interest thereon), together with all Nonrecoverable Advances (and Advance Interest thereon) theretofore reimbursed during such Collection Period, would

 

180
 

 

exceed the aggregate principal portions of P&I Advances and principal collections and recoveries on the Mortgage Pool for such Collection Period contemplated by clauses (i) through (v) of the definition of “Unadjusted Principal Distribution Amount”, the Master Servicer and/or the Trustee, as applicable, if it made the relevant Advance) is hereby authorized (but shall not be construed to have any obligation whatsoever), if it elects at its sole option and in its sole discretion, to abstain from reimbursing itself or obtaining reimbursement (notwithstanding that it is entitled to such reimbursement) during that Collection Period for all or a portion of such Nonrecoverable Advance (and Advance Interest thereon), for successive one month periods for a total period not to exceed twelve (12) months; provided that any such deferral exceeding six (6) months shall require (during a Subordinate Control Period) the consent of the Subordinate Class Representative; provided, further, that the aggregate amount that is the subject of the exercise of such option with respect to all Nonrecoverable Advances (and Advance Interest thereon) with respect to all Mortgage Loans for any particular Collection Period is less than or equal to such excess described above in this clause (b). If the Master Servicer (or the Trustee, as applicable) makes such an election at its sole option to defer reimbursement with respect to all or a portion of a Nonrecoverable Advance (and Advance Interest thereon), then such Nonrecoverable Advance (and Advance Interest thereon) or portion thereof shall continue to be fully reimbursable in any subsequent Collection Period. In connection with a potential election by the Master Servicer (or the Trustee, as applicable) to abstain from the reimbursement of a particular Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof during the Collection Period for any Distribution Date, the Master Servicer (or the Trustee, as applicable) shall further be authorized to wait for principal collections to be received before making its determination of whether to abstain from the reimbursement of a particular Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof. The Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall give the Rating Agencies at least fifteen (15) days’ notice (subject to Section 3.27) prior to any reimbursement to it of Nonrecoverable Advances from amounts in the Collection Account or Distribution Account, as applicable, allocable to interest on the Mortgage Loans unless (1) the Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, determines in its sole discretion that waiting fifteen (15) days after such a notice could jeopardize its ability to recover such Nonrecoverable Advances, (2) changed circumstances or new or different information becomes known to the Master Servicer or Trustee, as applicable, that could affect or cause a determination of whether any Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance or whether to defer reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance or the determination in clause (1) above, or (3) the Master Servicer has not timely received from the Trustee information requested by the Master Servicer to consider in determining whether to defer reimbursement of a Nonrecoverable Advance; provided that, if any of clause (1), clause (2) or clause (3) above apply, the Master Servicer or Trustee, as applicable, shall give each Rating Agency notice (subject to Section 3.27) of an anticipated reimbursement to it of Nonrecoverable Advances from amounts in the Collection Account or Distribution Account, as applicable, allocable to interest on the Mortgage Loans as soon as reasonably practicable in such circumstances. The Master Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall have no liability for any loss, liability or expenses resulting from any notice provided to the Rating Agencies contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence.

 

181
 

 

Any collections (as applied under Section 1.03) received on the Mortgage Loans during a Collection Period that, in each case, represents a recovery of an amount determined in a prior Collection Period to have been a Nonrecoverable Advance shall be added to and constitute a part of the Principal Distribution Amount for the related Distribution Date (pursuant to clause (I)(C) of the definition of “Principal Distribution Amount”) to the extent of all Nonrecoverable Advances on such respective Mortgage Loan that were reimbursed from collections of principal on the Mortgage Pool in all prior Collection Periods pursuant to the preceding paragraph.

 

Neither the Master Servicer nor the Trustee shall have any liability whatsoever for making an election, or refraining from making an election, that is authorized under this subsection (II)(iv). The foregoing shall not, however, be construed to limit any liability that may otherwise be imposed on such Person for any failure by such Person to comply with the conditions to making such an election under this subsection (II)(iv) or to comply with the terms of this subsection (II)(iv) and the other provisions of this Agreement that apply once such an election, if any, has been made.

 

Any election by the Master Servicer (or the Trustee, as applicable) to abstain from reimbursing itself for any Nonrecoverable Advance (and Advance Interest thereon) or portion thereof with respect to any Collection Period shall not be construed to impose on the Master Servicer (or the Trustee, as applicable) any obligation to make such an election (or any entitlement in favor of any Certificateholder or any other Person to such an election) with respect to any subsequent Collection Period or to constitute a waiver or limitation on the right of the Master Servicer (or the Trustee, as applicable) to otherwise be reimbursed for such Nonrecoverable Advance (and Advance Interest thereon). Any such election by the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall not be construed to impose any duty on any other such party to make such an election (or any entitlement in favor of any Certificateholder or any other Person to such an election). Any such election by any such party to abstain from reimbursing itself or obtaining reimbursement for any Nonrecoverable Advance or portion thereof with respect to any one or more Collection Periods shall not limit the accrual of Advance Interest on such Nonrecoverable Advance for the period prior to the actual reimbursement of such Nonrecoverable Advance. None of the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the other parties to this Agreement shall have any liability to one another or to any of the Certificateholders or any of the Companion Loan Holders for any such election that such party makes to defer or not to defer reimbursement as contemplated by this subsection or for any losses, damages or other adverse economic or other effects that may arise from such an election, nor shall such election constitute a violation of the Servicing Standard or any duty under this Agreement. The foregoing statements in this paragraph shall not limit the generality of the statements made in the immediately preceding paragraph.

 

The Certificate Administrator (and, with respect to Advances made by the Master Servicer and the Trustee) shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon any direction or notice received from the Master Servicer in connection with any determination made by the Master Servicer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.05(a)(II)(iv) and shall not be obligated to independently verify, monitor or oversee any such determination.

 

182
 

 

(v)          Deferral is Not Subordination. No determination by the Master Servicer (or the Trustee, as applicable) to exercise its sole option to defer the reimbursement of Advances and/or Advance Interest under subsection (iv) above shall be construed as an agreement by the Master Servicer (or the Trustee, as applicable) to subordinate (in respect of realizing losses), to any Class of Certificates, such party’s right to such reimbursement during such period of deferral.

 

(b)          The Certificate Administrator shall, from time to time, make withdrawals from the Distribution Account for each of the following purposes (the order set forth below not constituting an order of priority for such withdrawals):

(iv)       to pay any and all federal, state and local taxes imposed on any REMIC Pool or on the assets or transactions of any REMIC Pool, together with all incidental costs and expenses, and any and all expenses relating to tax audits, if and to the extent that either (A) none of the parties hereto are liable therefor pursuant to Section 10.01(b) and/or Section 10.01(f) or (B) any such Person that may be so liable has failed to timely make the required payment;

 

(v)        to pay for the cost of the Opinions of Counsel as contemplated by Section 12.01(a) or Section 12.01(c) in connection with any amendment to this Agreement requested by the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator which amendment is in furtherance of the rights and interests of Certificateholders;

(c)          On the Master Servicer Remittance Date in March of each year (commencing in March 2016) and in any event on the Master Servicer Remittance Date that occurs in the same calendar month as the Final Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall withdraw from the Interest Reserve Account and deposit in the Distribution Account all Interest Reserve Amounts in respect of the Interest Reserve Loans then on deposit in the Interest Reserve Account. In addition, the Certificate Administrator shall, from time to time, make withdrawals from the Interest Reserve Account to pay itself interest or other income earned on deposits in the Interest Reserve Account, in accordance with Section 3.06(b) (but only to the extent of the Net Investment Earnings, if any, with respect to the Interest Reserve Account for each Collection Period).

 

(d)          On the Business Day prior to each Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall withdraw from the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account and deposit in the Distribution Account, for distribution on such Distribution Date, an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the entire amount of Excess Liquidation Proceeds, if any, then on deposit in the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account and (ii) the excess, if any, of the aggregate amount distributable on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01(a), over the Available Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date (calculated without regard to such transfer from the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account to the Distribution Account); provided that on the Business Day prior to the Final Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall withdraw from the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account and deposit in the Distribution Account, for distribution on such Distribution Date, any and all Excess Liquidation Proceeds then on deposit in the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account.

The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trust Advisor, as applicable, shall in all cases have a right prior to any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) to any particular funds on deposit in the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account from time to time for the reimbursement or payment of compensation, Servicing Advances (with interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate) and their respective expenses hereunder, but only if and to the extent such compensation, Servicing Advances (with interest) and expenses are to be reimbursed or paid from such funds on deposit in such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement and/or the related Intercreditor Agreement.

(iii)       to offset any portion of Realized Losses that are attributable to such Mortgage Loan or related REO Property (as calculated without regard to the application of such Loss of Value Payments), incurred with respect to such Mortgage Loan or any related successor REO Mortgage Loan;

 

(iv)       following the occurrence of a Liquidation Event with respect to such Mortgage Loan or any related REO Property and any related transfers from the Loss of Value Reserve Fund with respect to the items contemplated by the immediately preceding clauses (i)-(iii) above as to such Mortgage Loan, to cover the items contemplated by the immediately preceding clauses (i)-(iii) in respect of any other Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan; and

 

(v)        on the final Distribution Date after all distributions have been made as set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above, to each Mortgage Loan Seller, its pro rata share, based on the amount that it contributed, net of any amount contributed by such Mortgage Loan Seller that was used pursuant to clauses (i)-(iii) to offset any portion of Realized Losses that are attributable to such Mortgage Loan or related REO Property, Additional Trust Fund Expenses or any Nonrecoverable Advances incurred with respect to the Mortgage Loan related to such contribution.

 

Any Loss of Value Payments transferred to the Collection Account pursuant to clauses (i)-(iii) of the prior paragraph shall be treated as Liquidation Proceeds Received by the Trust in respect of the related Mortgage Loan or any successor REO Mortgage Loan with respect thereto for which such Loss of Value Payments were received; and any Loss of Value Payments transferred to the Collection Account pursuant to clause (iv) of the prior paragraph shall be treated as Liquidation Proceeds Received by the Trust in respect of the Mortgage Loan or REO

 

188
 

 

Mortgage Loan for which such Loss of Value Payments are being transferred to the Collection Account to cover an item contemplated by clauses (i)-(iii) of the prior paragraph.

 

(i)           With respect to any Serviced Loan Combination, if amounts required to pay the compensation, fees, costs, expenses or reimbursement incurred in connection with the servicing and administration of any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan exceed amounts on deposit in the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account and the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trust Advisor or the Trustee, as applicable, have sought reimbursement from the Trust Fund with respect to such expenses allocable to such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, then the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall use efforts in accordance with the Servicing Standard to exercise promptly the rights of the Trust Fund under the related Intercreditor Agreement to obtain reimbursement from the holder of any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan for that holder’s pro rata share of the expense.

All such Permitted Investments shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand. Any investment of funds in an Investment Account shall be made in the name of the Trustee (in its capacity as such). The Master Servicer (with respect to Permitted Investments of amounts in the Collection Account, the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account, any Servicing Account or any Reserve Account), the Special Servicer (with respect to Permitted Investments of amounts in the REO Account), and the Certificate Administrator (with respect to Permitted Investments of amounts in the Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account or the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account) acting on behalf of the Trustee, shall (and the Trustee hereby designates the Master Servicer, the

Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, as the Person that shall) (i) be the “entitlement holder” of any Permitted Investment that is a “security entitlement” and (ii) maintain “control” of any Permitted Investment that is either a “certificated security” or an “uncertificated security”. For purposes of this Section 3.06(a), the terms “entitlement holder”, “security entitlement”, “control”, “certificated security” and “uncertificated security” shall have the meanings given such terms in Revised Article 8 (1994 Revision) of the UCC, and “control” of any Permitted Investment by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator shall constitute “control” by a Person designated by, and acting on behalf of, the Trustee for purposes of Revised Article 8 (1994 Revision) of the UCC. If amounts on deposit in an Investment Account are at any time invested in a Permitted Investment payable on demand, the party hereunder that maintains such Investment Account (whether it is the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator), shall:

 

(x)           consistent with any notice required to be given thereunder, demand that payment thereon be made on the last day such Permitted Investment may otherwise mature hereunder in an amount at least equal to the lesser of (1) all amounts then payable thereunder and (2) the amount required to be withdrawn on such date; and

 

(y)           demand payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly upon determination by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, that such Permitted Investment would not constitute a Permitted Investment in respect of funds thereafter on deposit in such Investment Account.

 

(b)          Whether or not the Master Servicer directs the investment of funds in any Investment Account (other than a Servicing Account or Reserve Account) maintained by it, interest and investment income realized on funds deposited therein, to the extent of the Net Investment Earnings, if any, for such Investment Account for each Collection Period, shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Master Servicer and shall be subject to its withdrawal in accordance with Section 3.05. Whether or not the Master Servicer directs the investment of funds in any Servicing Account or Reserve Account maintained by it, interest and investment income realized on funds deposited therein, to the extent of the Net Investment Earnings, if any, for such Investment Account for each Collection Period, and subject to the requirements of applicable law or the terms of the related Serviced Mortgage Loan(s) or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s) regarding the payment of such interest and investment income to the related Borrower, shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Master Servicer and shall be subject to withdrawal from time to time in accordance with Section 3.03. Whether or not the Special Servicer directs the investment of funds in the REO Account or the Loss of Value Reserve Fund, interest and investment income realized on funds deposited therein, to the extent of the Net Investment Earnings, if any, for such Investment Account for each Collection Period, shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Special Servicer and shall be subject to its withdrawal in accordance with Section 3.16(b). Whether or not the Certificate Administrator directs the investment of funds in the Distribution Account, the Interest Reserve Account or the Excess Liquidation Proceeds Account, interest and investment income realized on funds deposited therein, to the extent of the Net Investment Earnings, if any, for each such Investment Account for each Collection Period, shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Certificate Administrator and shall be subject to its withdrawal in accordance with Section 3.05. If any loss

 

190
 

 

 

shall be incurred in respect of any Permitted Investment on deposit in any Investment Account, the party hereunder that maintains such Investment Account (whether it is the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator), shall promptly deposit therein from its own funds, without right of reimbursement, no later than the end of the Collection Period during which such loss was incurred, the amount of the Net Investment Loss, if any, in respect of such Investment Account for such Collection Period (except, in the case of any such loss with respect to a Servicing Account or Reserve Account, to the extent the loss amounts were invested for the benefit of a Borrower under the terms of a Serviced Mortgage Loan, Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan or applicable law).

 

(c)         Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any default occurs in the making of any payment due (or in any other performance required) under any Permitted Investment of funds on deposit in any Investment Account, and if the party hereunder that maintains such Investment Account (whether it is the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator) is in default of its obligations under or contemplated by Section 3.06(b), the Trustee may and, subject to Section 8.02, upon the request of (i) Holders of Certificates entitled to not less than 25% of the Voting Rights allocated to any Class of Interest Only Certificates or Principal Balance Certificates, (ii) the Subordinate Class Representative or (iii) alternatively, but only if the Permitted Investment involves funds on deposit in the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account, any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) (it being understood that, for purposes of this clause (iii), Section 8.02 shall be construed as if references therein to one or more “Certificateholders” were instead references to such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder), the Trustee shall, take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution and prosecution of appropriate legal proceedings. Any costs incurred by the Trustee in taking any such action shall be reimbursed to it by the party hereunder that maintains such Investment Account (whether it is the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator). This provision is in no way intended to limit any actions that the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator may take in this regard at its own expense.

 

(d)         Notwithstanding the investment of funds held in any Investment Account, for purposes of the calculations hereunder, including the calculation of the Available Distribution Amount, the Master Servicer Remittance Amounts and the monthly amounts payable to the respective Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders, the amounts so invested shall be deemed to remain on deposit in such Investment Account.

 

Section 3.07     Maintenance of Insurance Policies; Errors and Omissions and Fidelity Coverage. (a)  In the case of each Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, the Master Servicer shall use reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the related Borrower to maintain (including identifying the extent to which a Borrower is maintaining insurance coverage and, if such Borrower does not so maintain, the Master Servicer will itself cause to be maintained with Qualified Insurers having the Required Claims-Paying Ratings) for the related Mortgaged Property (x) a fire and casualty extended coverage insurance policy, which does not provide for reduction due to depreciation, in an amount that is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the full replacement cost of improvements securing such Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination or (ii) the outstanding principal balance of such Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, but, in any

 

191
 

 

event, in an amount sufficient to avoid the application of any co-insurance clause and (y) all other insurance coverage (including but not limited to coverage for damage resulting from acts of terrorism) as is required or (subject to the Servicing Standard) that the lender is entitled to reasonably require, subject to applicable law, under the related Mortgage Loan Documents; provided that all of the following conditions and/or limitations shall apply:

 

(A)          the Master Servicer shall not be required to maintain any earthquake or environmental insurance policy on any Mortgaged Property securing a Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination unless such insurance policy was in effect at the time of the origination of such Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents and is available at commercially reasonable rates and the Trustee has an insurable interest;

 

(B)          if and to the extent that any Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination grants the lender thereunder any discretion (by way of consent, approval or otherwise) as to the insurance provider from whom the related Borrower is to obtain the requisite insurance coverage, the Master Servicer shall (to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard) use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the related Borrower to obtain the requisite insurance coverage from Qualified Insurers that, in each case, have the Required Claims-Paying Ratings at the time such insurance coverage is obtained;

 

(C)          the Master Servicer shall have no obligation beyond using its reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to cause the Borrower under any Serviced Mortgage Loan to maintain the insurance required to be maintained or that the lender is entitled to reasonably require, subject to applicable law, under the related Mortgage Loan Documents;

 

(D)          in no event shall the Master Servicer be required to cause the Borrower under any Serviced Mortgage Loan to maintain, or itself obtain, insurance coverage that the Master Servicer has determined is either (i) not available at any rate or (ii) not available at commercially reasonable rates and the related hazards are not at the time commonly insured against at the then-available rates for properties similar to the related Mortgaged Property and located in or around the region in which the related Mortgaged Property is located;

 

(E)          the reasonable efforts of the Master Servicer to cause the Borrower under any Serviced Mortgage Loan to maintain insurance shall be conducted in a manner that takes into account the insurance that would then be available to the Master Servicer on a force-placed basis; and

 

(F)           to the extent the Master Servicer itself is required to maintain insurance that the Borrower under any Serviced Mortgage Loan does not maintain, the Master Servicer shall not be required to maintain insurance other than what is available to the Master Servicer on a force-placed basis (and this will not be construed to modify the other limits set forth in clause (D) above).

 

192
 

 

Notwithstanding the limitation set forth in clause (D) above, if the related Borrower under any Serviced Mortgage Loan fails to maintain with respect to the related Mortgaged Property (i) specific casualty insurance coverage providing for “special” form coverage that does not specifically exclude, terrorist or similar acts, and/or (ii) specific insurance coverage with respect to damages or casualties caused by terrorist or similar acts, the Master Servicer shall cause the related Borrower to maintain, or itself obtain, such insurance upon terms not materially less favorable than those in place as of the Closing Date, unless the Special Servicer has determined in its reasonable judgment based on inquiry consistent with the Servicing Standard, and (during any Subordinate Control Period and other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan) with the consent of the Subordinate Class Representative or (during any Collective Consultation Period or Senior Consultation Period) after having consulted with the Trust Advisor and (during any Collective Consultation Period and other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan) the Subordinate Class Representative, 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 (failure to maintain required insurance due to either of clause (a) or (b) is referred to herein as an “Acceptable Insurance Default”). The Subordinate Class Representative and/or Trust Advisor, as applicable, will have no more than thirty (30) days to respond to the Special Servicer’s request for such consent or consultation; provided that upon the Special Servicer’s determination, consistent with the Servicing Standard, that exigent circumstances do not allow the Special Servicer to consult with the Subordinate Class Representative and/or Trust Advisor, the Special Servicer will not be required to do so. If any such approval of the Special Servicer has not been expressly denied within ninety (90) days of the Special Servicer’s receipt from the Master Servicer of the Master Servicer’s determination and analysis and all information reasonably requested thereby and reasonably available to the Master Servicer in order to make an informed decision, such approval shall be deemed to have been granted. If the Special Servicer is in the process of making a determination described above in this paragraph, then, during the period of such evaluation by the Special Servicer (or, to the extent applicable, during the period that the Special Servicer is obtaining the consent of the Subordinate Class Representative (other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan) or consulting with the Trust Advisor and/or the Subordinate Class Representative (other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan), as applicable), the Master Servicer shall not be liable for any loss related to its failure to require the related Borrower to maintain terrorism insurance and shall not be in default of its obligations hereunder as a result of such failure to maintain terrorism insurance.

 

The Master Servicer shall notify the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Subordinate Class Representative (other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan) and the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder (other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan) and (if a Serviced Loan Combination is involved) the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) if the Master Servicer determines that any Borrower under a Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination has failed to maintain insurance required under (or that the Master Servicer has required pursuant to a provision that entitles the lender to reasonably require insurance under) the related Mortgage Loan Documents and such failure materially and adversely affects such Mortgage Loan or Loan Combination and/or the interest of the Trust or the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) in the related Mortgaged Property or if any Borrower under a Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination has notified the

 

193
 

 

Master Servicer in writing that such Borrower does not intend to maintain such insurance and the Master Servicer has determined that such failure materially and adversely affects such Mortgage Loan or Loan Combination and/or the interest of the Trust or the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) in the related Mortgaged Property.

 

(b)          Subject to Sections 3.17(b), and/or 3.24, as applicable, with respect to each Administered REO Property, the Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts, consistent with the Servicing Standard, to maintain with Qualified Insurers having the Required Claims-Paying Ratings (a) a fire and casualty extended coverage insurance policy, which does not provide for reduction due to depreciation, in an amount that is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the full replacement cost of improvements at such Administered REO Property or (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the related REO Mortgage Loan, but, in any event, in an amount sufficient to avoid the application of any co-insurance clause, (b) a comprehensive general liability insurance policy with coverage comparable to that which would be required under prudent lending requirements and in an amount not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence and (c) to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard, a business interruption or rental loss insurance covering revenues or rents for a period of at least twelve (12) months (or at least eighteen (18) months, in the case of an Administered REO Property whose related REO Mortgage Loan had an initial principal balance exceeding $35,000,000), in each case if so required pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan Documents; provided that both of the following conditions and/or limitations shall apply:

 

(A)          the Special Servicer shall not be required to maintain or obtain the insurance coverage otherwise described above unless the Trustee has an insurable interest; and

 

(B)          the Special Servicer shall not be required to maintain or obtain the insurance coverage otherwise described above to the extent that the coverage is not available at commercially reasonable rates and consistent with the Servicing Standard.

 

All such insurance policies maintained as described above shall contain (if they insure against loss to property) a “standard” mortgagee clause, with loss payable to the Master Servicer (or the applicable sub-servicer) on behalf of the Trustee, in the case of insurance maintained in respect of a Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, or shall name the Trustee as the insured, with loss payable to the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trustee, in the case of insurance maintained in respect of an Administered REO Property. Any amounts collected by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, under any such policies (other than amounts to be applied to the restoration or repair of the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property or amounts to be released to the related Borrower, in each case in accordance with the Servicing Standard) shall be deposited in the Collection Account or, to the extent the loss affects a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder, in the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account, as applicable, in each case as appropriate in accordance with Section 3.04, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.05, in the case of amounts received in respect of a Serviced Mortgage Loan, or in the REO Account, subject to withdrawal pursuant to Section 3.16(c), in the case of amounts received in respect of an Administered REO Property. Any cost incurred by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer in maintaining any such insurance

 

194
 

 

shall not, for purposes hereof, including calculating monthly distributions to Certificateholders, be added to unpaid principal balance or Stated Principal Balance of the related Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, notwithstanding that the terms of such Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination so permit; provided that this sentence shall not limit the rights of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust (and, if applicable, any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders) to enforce any obligations of the related Borrower under such Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination. Costs to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer of maintaining insurance policies pursuant to this Section 3.07 shall (subject to Section 3.11(h) and Section 3.19(b)) be paid by, and reimbursable to, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, as a Servicing Advance.

 

(c)            If (i) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall obtain and maintain, or cause to be obtained and maintained, a blanket policy or master force-placed policy insuring against hazard losses on all of any Serviced Mortgage Loans, Serviced Loan Combinations or Administered REO Properties, as applicable, then, to the extent such policy (A) is obtained from a Qualified Insurer having the Required Claims-Paying Ratings, and (B) provides protection equivalent to the individual policies otherwise required herein and in the Mortgage Loan Documents or (ii) the Master Servicer or Special Servicer has long-term unsecured debt obligations or deposit accounts that are rated not lower than “A-” by Fitch (or, if not rated by Fitch, an equivalent rating by (A) at least two NRSROs (which may include Moody’s and/or Morningstar) or (B) one NRSRO (which may include Moody’s or Morningstar) and A.M. Best Company) and “A3” by Moody’s (or, if not rated by Moody’s, at least “A-” by S&P (or, if not rated by S&P, an equivalent rating by (A) at least two NRSROs (which may include Fitch and/or Morningstar) or (B) one NRSRO (which may include Fitch or Morningstar) and A.M. Best Company)), or it has received a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to which such rating is not satisfied, and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, self-insures for its obligation to maintain the individual policies otherwise required, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall conclusively be deemed to have satisfied its obligation to cause hazard insurance to be maintained on the related Mortgaged Properties or REO Properties, as applicable. Such a blanket or master force-placed policy may contain a deductible clause (not in excess of a customary amount), in which case the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, whichever maintains such policy, shall, if there shall not have been maintained on any Mortgaged Property securing a Serviced Mortgage Loan, Serviced Loan Combination or any Administered REO Property thereunder a hazard insurance policy complying with the requirements of Section 3.07(a), and there shall have been one or more losses that would have been covered by such an individual policy, promptly deposit into the Collection Account (or to the extent the loss affects any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s), in the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account) maintained by the Master Servicer, from its own funds without any right of reimbursement from the Trust, the amount not otherwise payable under the blanket or master force-placed policy in connection with such loss or losses because of such deductible clause to the extent that any such deductible exceeds the deductible limitation that pertained to the related Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination (or, in the absence of any such deductible limitation, the deductible limitation for an individual policy which is consistent with the Servicing Standard). The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each prepare and present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and Certificateholders and, if applicable, any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion

 

195
 

 

Loan Holders, claims under any such blanket or master force-placed policy maintained by it in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms of such policy.

 

(d)           With respect to each Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan that is subject to an Environmental Insurance Policy, if the Master Servicer has actual knowledge of any event (an “Insured Environmental Event”) giving rise to a claim under an Environmental Insurance Policy, the Master Servicer shall notify the Special Servicer to such effect and the Master Servicer shall take reasonable actions as are in accordance with the Servicing Standard and the terms and conditions of such Environmental Insurance Policy to make a claim thereunder and achieve the payment of all amounts to which the Trust is entitled thereunder. With respect to each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan that is subject to an Environmental Insurance Policy, if the Special Servicer has actual knowledge of any event giving rise to a claim under an Environmental Insurance Policy, the Special Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer, which shall take reasonable actions as are in accordance with the Servicing Standard and the terms and conditions of such Environmental Insurance Policy to make a claim thereunder and achieve the payment of all amounts to which the Trust is entitled thereunder. With respect to each Administered REO Property that is subject to an Environmental Insurance Policy, if the Special Servicer has actual knowledge of any event giving rise to a claim under an Environmental Insurance Policy, the Special Servicer shall take reasonable actions as are in accordance with the Servicing Standard and the terms and conditions of such Environmental Insurance Policy to make a claim thereunder and achieve the payment of all amounts to which the Trust is entitled thereunder. Any legal fees or other out-of-pocket costs incurred in accordance with the Servicing Standard in connection with any claim under an Environmental Insurance Policy described above (whether by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) shall be (subject to Section 3.11(h) and Section 3.19(b)) paid by, and reimbursable to, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, as a Servicing Advance.

 

(e)           The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each at all times during the term of this Agreement (or, in the case of the Special Servicer, at all times during the term of this Agreement during which Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and/or Administered REO Properties exist as part of the Trust Fund) keep in force with a Qualified Insurer having the Required Claims-Paying Ratings, a fidelity bond in such form and amount as are consistent with the Servicing Standard. The Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall be deemed to have complied with the foregoing provision if an Affiliate thereof has such fidelity bond coverage and, by the terms of such fidelity bond, the coverage afforded thereunder extends to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be. Such fidelity bond shall provide that it may not be canceled without ten (10) days’ prior written notice to the Trustee. So long as the long-term unsecured debt obligations or deposit accounts of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, are rated not lower than “A-” by Fitch (or, if not rated by Fitch, an equivalent (or higher) rating by (1) any two other NRSROs (which may include Moody’s and/or Morningstar) or (2) one NRSRO (which may include Moody’s or Morningstar) and A.M. Best Company) and “A3” by Moody’s (or, if not rated by Moody’s, at least “A ” by S&P (or, if not rated by S&P, an equivalent rating by (A) at least two NRSROs (which may include Fitch and/or Morningstar) or (B) one NRSRO (which may include Fitch or Morningstar) and A.M. Best Company)), or it has received a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to which such rating is not satisfied, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, may self-

 

196
 

 

insure with respect to the fidelity bond coverage required as described above, in which case it shall not be required to maintain an insurance policy with respect to such coverage.

 

The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each at all times during the term of this Agreement (or, in the case of the Special Servicer, at all times during the term of this Agreement during which Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and/or Administered REO Properties exist as part of the Trust Fund) also keep in force with a Qualified Insurer having the Required Claims-Paying Ratings, a policy or policies of insurance covering loss occasioned by the errors and omissions of its officers and employees in connection with its servicing obligations hereunder, which policy or policies shall be in such form and amount as are consistent with the Servicing Standard. The Master Servicer or Special Servicer shall be deemed to have complied with the foregoing provision if an Affiliate thereof has such policy or policies and, by the terms of such policy or policies, the coverage afforded thereunder extends to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be. Any such errors and omissions policy shall provide that it may not be canceled without ten (10) days’ prior written notice to the Trustee. So long as the long-term unsecured debt obligations or deposit accounts of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, are rated not lower than “A-” by Fitch (or, if not rated by Fitch, an equivalent (or higher) rating by (1) any two other NRSROs (which may include Moody’s and/or Morningstar) or (2) one NRSRO (which may include Moody’s or Morningstar) and A.M. Best Company) and “A3” by Moody’s (or, if not rated by Moody’s, at least “A ” by S&P (or, if not rated by S&P, an equivalent rating by (A) at least two NRSROs (which may include Fitch and/or Morningstar) or (B) one NRSRO (which may include Fitch or Morningstar) and A.M. Best Company)), or it has received a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency with respect to which such rating is not satisfied, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, may self-insure with respect to the errors and omissions coverage required as described above, in which case it shall not be required to maintain an insurance policy with respect to such coverage.

 

Section 3.08      Enforcement of Alienation Clauses. (a) If the provisions of any Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination expressly permit the assignment of the related Mortgaged Property to, and assumption of such Mortgage Loan by, another Person, or the transfer of interests in the related Borrower, in each case upon the satisfaction of specified conditions, prohibit such an assignment and assumption or transfer except upon the satisfaction of specified conditions, or fully prohibit such an assignment and assumption or transfer, and the related Borrower (and/or the holders of interests in such Borrower) requests approval for such an assignment and assumption or transfer or enters into a transfer of the related Mortgaged Property or of interest(s) in such Borrower in violation of the related Mortgage Loan Documents, or if the provisions of any Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination expressly permit the further encumbrance of the related Mortgaged Property or interests in the related Borrower upon the satisfaction of specified conditions, prohibit such a further encumbrance except upon the satisfaction of specified conditions, or fully prohibit such a further encumbrance, in each case, and the related Borrower requests approval for such a further encumbrance or enters into a further encumbrance in violation of the related Mortgage Loan Documents, the Master Servicer (with respect to a Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan and, if applicable, any related Performing Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) or the Special Servicer (with respect to a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan) shall obtain the relevant information and review and make a determination to either (i) disapprove such request for approval of an assignment and assumption

(G)          the Special Servicer shall not consent to the Master Servicer’s recommendation described in clause (A) above, or itself enter into such an approval or waiver, unless the Special Servicer has complied with Section 3.24 and/or Section 3.26, as applicable.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the Master Servicer’s approval of an assignment and assumption or further encumbrance be conditioned on the approval or absence of objection from the Special Servicer (or the Special Servicer interacting with the Subordinate Class Representative in connection with such Master Servicer approval) if (a) the transaction is permitted under the related Mortgage Loan Documents and (b) the conditions to the transaction that are set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Documents do not include the approval of the lender or the exercise of lender discretion (other than confirming the satisfaction of the other conditions to the transaction set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Documents that do not include any other approval or exercise of discretion).

 

(b)          In connection with any permitted assumption of any Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination or waiver of a “due-on-sale” or “due-on-encumbrance” clause thereunder, the Master Servicer (in the case of a Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan) or the Special Servicer (in the case of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan) shall prepare all documents necessary and appropriate for such purposes and shall coordinate with the related Borrower for the due execution and delivery of such documents.

 

(c)          Notwithstanding Section 3.08(a), in connection with any transfer of an interest in the related Borrower under a Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan or related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, the Master Servicer shall have the right to grant its consent to the same without the consent or approval of the Special Servicer (or the Special Servicer interacting with the Subordinate Class Representative in connection with such Master Servicer consent) if such transfer is allowed under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents without the exercise of any lender approval or discretion other than confirming the satisfaction of the other conditions to the transfer set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Documents that do not include any other approval or exercise of discretion and does not involve incurring new mezzanine indebtedness, including a consent to transfer to any subsidiary or affiliate of such Borrower or to a person acquiring less than a majority interest in such Borrower; provided that, subject to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents and applicable law, if (i) the affected Serviced Mortgage Loan is or relates to a Mortgage Loan that, together with all other Mortgage Loans, if any, that are in the same Cross-Collateralized Group as such Mortgage Loan or have the same Borrower as such Mortgage Loan or have Borrowers that are known to be affiliated with the Borrower under such Mortgage Loan, is one of the then-current top ten Mortgage Loans (by Stated Principal Balance) in the Mortgage Pool, has a Cut-off Date Principal Balance in excess of $20,000,000, or has a Stated Principal Balance that equals or exceeds 5% of the then-aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Pool, or a Serviced Loan Combination is involved and

 

200
 

 

the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement would require Rating Agency Confirmation if such Serviced Loan Combination was serviced thereunder, and (ii) the transfer is of an interest in the Borrower greater than 49% or otherwise would result in a change in control of the Borrower (for these purposes, “control” when used with respect to any specified person means the power to direct the management and policies of such person, directly or indirectly, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise and the terms “controlling” and “controlled” have meanings correlative to the foregoing), then the Master Servicer shall not consent to such transfer unless and until such transfer is the subject of a Rating Agency Confirmation (subject to Section 3.27) (and, in the case of any applicable Serviced Mortgage Loan that is part of a Loan Combination, an analogous rating agency confirmation from each Pari Passu Companion Loan Rating Agency, if applicable pursuant to Section 3.27(k)) (the costs of which are to be payable by the related Borrower to the extent provided for in the related Mortgage Loan Documents, which provisions shall not be waived by the Master Servicer, and, if not paid, such costs shall be paid by and reimbursed to the Master Servicer as an Additional Trust Fund Expense). The Master Servicer shall be entitled to collect and receive from Borrowers any customary fees in connection with such transfers of interest as Additional Master Servicing Compensation.

 

Section 3.09     Realization Upon Defaulted Serviced Mortgage Loans. (a) The Special Servicer shall, subject to Sections 3.09(b), 3.09(c), 3.09(d), Section 3.24, Section 3.26 and/or Section 3.28, as applicable, exercise reasonable efforts, consistent with the Servicing Standard, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert the ownership of the real property and other collateral securing any Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination that comes into and continues in default and as to which no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments, including pursuant to Section 3.20. In connection with the foregoing, in the event of a default under any Serviced Mortgage Loan, Serviced Loan Combination or Cross-Collateralized Group that is secured by real properties located in multiple states, and such states include California or another state with a statute, rule or regulation comparable to California’s “one action rule”, then the Special Servicer shall consult Independent counsel regarding the order and manner in which the Special Servicer should foreclose upon or comparably proceed against such properties. The Special Servicer may direct the Master Servicer to advance, as contemplated by Section 3.19(b), all costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and litigation costs and expenses) to be incurred on behalf of the Trust in any such proceedings or such consultation, subject to the Master Servicer being entitled to reimbursement for any such advance as a Servicing Advance as provided in Section 3.05(a), and further subject to the Special Servicer’s being entitled to pay out of the related Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and/or Condemnation Proceeds any Liquidation Expenses incurred in respect of any Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, which Liquidation Expenses were outstanding at the time such proceeds are received. Nothing contained in this Section 3.09 shall be construed so as to require the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust, to make a bid on any Mortgaged Property at a foreclosure sale or similar proceeding that is in excess of the fair market value of such property, as determined by the Special Servicer taking into account the factors described in Section 3.18 and the results of any appraisal obtained pursuant to the following sentence or otherwise, all such cash bids to be made in a manner consistent with the Servicing Standard. If and when the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer deems it necessary in accordance with the Servicing Standard for purposes of establishing the fair market value of any Mortgaged Property securing a defaulted Serviced Mortgage Loan or

 

201
 

 

Serviced Loan Combination, whether for purposes of bidding at foreclosure or otherwise, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (as the case may be) is authorized to have an Appraisal completed with respect to such property (the cost of which appraisal shall be covered by, and be reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance).

 

The Master Servicer shall not foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert, including by taking title thereto, any real property or other collateral securing a Defaulted Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination.

 

(b)          Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.09, no Mortgaged Property shall be acquired by the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust (and, in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s)) under such circumstances, in such manner or pursuant to such terms as would (i) cause such Mortgaged Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code (unless the portion of such REO Property that is not treated as “foreclosure property” and that is held by any REMIC Pool at any given time constitutes not more than a de minimis amount of the assets of such REMIC Pool within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860D-1(b)(3)(i) and (ii)), or (ii) except as permitted by Section 3.17(a), subject the Trust to the imposition of any federal income or prohibited transaction taxes under the Code. Subject to the foregoing, however, a Mortgaged Property may be acquired through a single-member limited liability company. In addition, except as permitted under Section 3.17(a), the Special Servicer shall not acquire any personal property on behalf of the Trust (and, in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) pursuant to this Section 3.09 unless either:

 

(i)            such personal property is incident to real property (within the meaning of Section 856(e)(1) of the Code) so acquired by the Special Servicer; or

 

(ii)           the Special Servicer shall have obtained an Opinion of Counsel (the cost of which shall be covered by, and reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance) to the effect that the holding of such personal property as part of the Trust Fund will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event with respect to any REMIC Pool or an Adverse Grantor Trust Event with respect to the Grantor Trust Pool.

 

(c)          Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.09, the Special Servicer shall not, on behalf of the Trust (and, in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s)), have a receiver of rents appointed with respect to a Mortgaged Property, or obtain title to a Mortgaged Property by foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, or take any other action with respect to any Mortgaged Property, if, as a result of any such action, the Trustee, on behalf of the Certificateholders, could, in the reasonable judgment of the Special Servicer, exercised in accordance with the Servicing Standard, be considered to hold title to, to be a “mortgagee-in-possession” of, or to be an “owner” or “operator” of such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of CERCLA or any comparable law, unless:

 

(i)           the Special Servicer has previously determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard, based on a Phase I Environmental Assessment (and any

 

202
 

 

additional environmental testing that the Special Servicer deems necessary and prudent) of such Mortgaged Property conducted by an Independent Person who regularly conducts Phase I Environmental Assessments and performed during the nine-month period preceding any such acquisition of title or other action, that such Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations and there are no circumstances or conditions present at the Mortgaged Property relating to the use, management or disposal of Hazardous Materials for which investigation, testing, monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation could be required under any applicable environmental laws and regulations; or

 

(ii)           if the determination described in clause (c)(i) above cannot be made, the Special Servicer has previously determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard, on the same basis as described in clause (c)(i) above, and taking into account the coverage provided under the related Environmental Insurance Policy, that it would maximize the recovery to the Certificateholders and, in the case of a Mortgaged Property securing a Serviced Loan Combination, to the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) (as a collective whole) on a present value basis (the relevant discounting of anticipated collections that will be distributable to Certificateholders and, in the case of a Mortgaged Property securing a Serviced Loan Combination, to the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s), to be performed at the related Net Mortgage Rate (or (x) in the case of an ARD Mortgage Loan after its Anticipated Repayment Date, at the related Net Mortgage Rate immediately prior to the Anticipated Repayment Date, or (y) in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination, at the weighted average of the Net Mortgage Rates for the related notes)) to acquire title to or possession of the Mortgaged Property and to take such remedial, corrective and/or other further actions as are necessary to bring the Mortgaged Property into compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations and to appropriately address any of the circumstances and conditions referred to in clause (c)(i) above.

 

Any such determination by the Special Servicer contemplated by clause (i) or clause (ii) of the preceding paragraph shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate to such effect delivered to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Subordinate Class Representative (other than with respect to any Mortgaged Property securing a related Excluded Loan) and the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder (other than with respect to any Mortgaged Property securing a related Excluded Loan) (and, in the case of a Mortgaged Property securing a Serviced Loan Combination, to the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s)), specifying all of the bases for such determination, such Officer’s Certificate to be accompanied by all related environmental reports.

 

The cost of such Phase I Environmental Assessment and any such additional environmental testing, as well as the cost of any remedial, corrective or other further action contemplated by clause (i) and/or clause (ii) above of the first paragraph of Section 3.09(c), shall be paid out of the Collection Account (subject to, if it relates to one or more Mortgage Loans in a Serviced Loan Combination, the proviso at the end of the first paragraph (that is, the initial paragraph that includes the enumerated clauses (i) through (xxiii) of Section 3.05(a)(I)).

 

203
 

 

(d)           If neither of the conditions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of the first paragraph of Section 3.09(c) has been satisfied with respect to any Mortgaged Property securing a defaulted Serviced Mortgage Loan (or, if applicable, a Serviced Loan Combination), the Special Servicer shall take such action as is in accordance with the Servicing Standard (other than proceeding against the Mortgaged Property) and, at such time as it deems appropriate, may, on behalf of the Trust and, if applicable, any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s), release all or a portion of such Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage; provided that both (i) if such Serviced Mortgage Loan has a then-outstanding principal balance greater than $1,000,000, then prior to the release of all or a portion of the related Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Mortgage, the Special Servicer shall have notified the Rating Agencies (subject to Section 3.27), the Subordinate Class Representative, the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Master Servicer, in writing of its intention to so release all or a portion of such Mortgaged Property and the basis for the determination that such intention, in the Special Servicer’s good faith judgment, was consistent with the Servicing Standard and (ii) if any Serviced Loan Combination is involved, the holders of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan or their representatives shall have the rights, if any, in respect thereof that are enumerated in the related Intercreditor Agreement.

 

(e)            The Special Servicer shall report to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder (other than with respect to any Mortgaged Property securing a related Excluded Loan), the Trust Advisor (during any Collective Consultation Period and any Senior Consultation Period), the Subordinate Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period and any Collective Consultation Period and other than with respect to any Mortgaged Property securing a related Excluded Loan), and, in case of a Mortgaged Property securing a Serviced Loan Combination, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s), monthly in writing as to any actions taken by the Special Servicer with respect to any Mortgaged Property as to which neither of the conditions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) of the first paragraph of Section 3.09(c) has been satisfied, in each case until the earliest to occur of satisfaction of either of such conditions, release of the lien of the related Mortgage on such Mortgaged Property and the related Mortgage Loan’s (or in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination, each of the related Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s)) becoming a Corrected Mortgage Loan.

 

(f)            The Special Servicer shall have the right to determine, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, with respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the advisability of seeking to obtain a deficiency judgment if the state in which the related Mortgaged Property is located and the terms of the subject Mortgage Loan permit such an action and shall, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, seek such deficiency judgment if it deems advisable. The Master Servicer, at the direction of the Special Servicer, shall make a Servicing Advance for the costs incurred in pursuing any such deficiency action, provided that the Master Servicer shall not be obligated in connection therewith to advance any funds, which if so advanced would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.

 

(g)           Annually in each January, the Master Servicer shall, with the reasonable cooperation of the Special Servicer, prepare and file with the IRS on a timely basis the information returns with respect to the reports of foreclosures and abandonments and reports relating to any cancellation of indebtedness income with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan,

 

204
 

 

or Mortgaged Property securing a Serviced Mortgage Loan and any Serviced Loan Combination, required by Sections 6050H (as applicable), 6050J and 6050P of the Code. Contemporaneously therewith, the Master Servicer shall deliver a copy of such information returns to the Special Servicer and the Trustee.

 

(h)          As soon as the Special Servicer makes a Final Recovery Determination (during any Subordinate Control Period and any Collective Consultation Period, such determination to be made in consultation with the Subordinate Class Representative and the related calculations to be subject to the approval of such Subordinate Class Representative, in each case, other than with respect to any Mortgaged Property securing a related Excluded Loan) with respect to any Mortgage Loan, Serviced Loan Combination or REO Property, it shall promptly notify the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Rating Agencies (subject to Section 3.27), the Master Servicer (unless it is the one making the determination), the Trust Advisor (during any Collective Consultation Period and any Senior Consultation Period) and the Subordinate Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period and any Collective Consultation Period and other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan). The Special Servicer shall maintain accurate records, prepared by a Servicing Officer, of each such Final Recovery Determination (if any) made by it and the basis thereof. Each such Final Recovery Determination (if any) shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Master Servicer (unless it is the one making the determination), the Trust Advisor (during any Collective Consultation Period and any Senior Consultation Period) and the Subordinate Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period and any Collective Consultation Period and other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan) no later than ten (10) Business Days following such Final Recovery Determination.

 

(i)           Notwithstanding anything the contrary, to the extent that the Special Servicer acquires a Mortgaged Property that is a hospitality property on behalf of the Trust and such hospitality property has a franchise or licensing agreement that requires a successor or replacement franchisee or licensee to have a specified net worth, the Special Servicer shall, to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard, take all actions reasonably necessary to permit the Mortgaged Property to maintain its franchise or license with the same franchisor or licensor in place prior to such foreclosure.

 

Section 3.10      Trustee to Cooperate; Release of Mortgage Files. (a) Upon the payment in full of any Serviced Mortgage Loan, or the receipt by the Master Servicer of a notification that payment in full shall be escrowed or made in a manner customary for such purposes, the Master Servicer shall promptly so notify the Trustee and the Custodian and, in the case of any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, the Master Servicer shall promptly so notify any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder, and request delivery to it or its designee of the related Mortgage File and request delivery to it or its designee of the related Mortgage Note, as applicable (such notice and request to be effected by delivering to the Custodian a Request for Release in the form of Exhibit F-1 attached hereto, which Request for Release shall be accompanied by the form of any release or discharge to be executed by the Custodian and, in the case of a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder, and shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received or to be received in connection with such payment which are required to be deposited in the Collection Account and/or in the case of any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, in the

Within five (5) Business Days following receipt, the Trustee shall forward any documents it receives related to the servicing of the Mortgage Loans (including but not limited to any court pleadings and other documents related to legal action involving any Borrower or Mortgaged Property) to the Special Servicer. Upon delivery of such documents, the Trustee shall not be liable for any loss, claim or expense related to any failure by the Special Servicer to process such documentation in a timely fashion.

Section 3.11    Master Servicing and Special Servicing Compensation; Interest on and Reimbursement of Servicing Advances; Payment of Certain Expenses; Obligations of the Trustee Regarding Back-up Servicing Advances. (a) As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive monthly the Master Servicing Fee with respect to each Mortgage Loan and any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (including each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan), and each successor REO Mortgage Loan thereto (in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination, including (in each case) both the interest therein represented by the related Mortgage Loan and the interest therein represented by the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan). As to each such Mortgage Loan, Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan and REO Mortgage Loan, for each calendar month (commencing with November 2015) or any applicable portion thereof, the Master Servicing Fee shall accrue at the related Master Servicing Fee Rate (or, (i) in the case of a Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan, at the sum of the applicable Master Servicing Fee Rate and the applicable Pari Passu Primary Servicing Fee Rate or (ii) in the case of a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, at the applicable Pari Passu Primary Servicing Fee Rate) on the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan, Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan or such REO Mortgage Loan, as the case may be, and shall be calculated on

 

207
 

 

the same Interest Accrual Basis as is applicable to such Mortgage Loan, Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan or REO Mortgage Loan, as the case may be, and for the same number of days respecting which any related interest payment due on such Mortgage Loan, Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan or deemed to be due on such REO Mortgage Loan is computed under the terms of the related Mortgage Note (as such terms may be changed or modified at any time following the Closing Date) and applicable law. To the extent attributable to a Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicing Fee with respect to any Mortgage Loan or any REO Mortgage Loan shall cease to accrue (but not as to any Replacement Mortgage Loan with respect thereto) if a Liquidation Event occurs in respect of such Mortgage Loan. Furthermore, to the extent attributable to any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan or any REO Mortgage Loan with respect thereto, the Master Servicing Fee shall cease to accrue if a Liquidation Event occurs in respect of the related Mortgage Loan. Master Servicing Fees earned with respect to any Mortgage Loan, Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan or any REO Mortgage Loan shall be payable monthly from payments of interest on such Mortgage Loan, Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan or REO Revenues allocable as interest on such REO Mortgage Loan, as the case may be. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to recover unpaid Master Servicing Fees in respect of any Mortgage Loan or any REO Mortgage Loan out of the portion any related Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds allocable as interest on such Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan, as the case may be and, to the extent such amounts are not sufficient to pay accrued Master Servicing Fees on any Mortgage Loan and a Liquidation Event has occurred with respect to such Mortgage Loan, from general collections on the Mortgage Loans on deposit in the Collection Account. Master Servicing Fees earned with respect to a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (or any successor REO Mortgage Loan with respect thereto) shall be payable out of the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account as provided in Section 3.05(f). From the Master Servicing Fee actually received by the Master Servicer related to the Holiday Inn – Lafayette Mortgage Loan or any successor REO Mortgage Loan, on each Master Servicer Remittance Date, the Master Servicer shall remit the accrued but unpaid Holiday Inn – Lafayette Retained Fee Amount to First Charter Financial Corporation or its designee by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified by the intended recipient or by such other method as such recipient and the Master Servicer shall mutually and reasonably agree. The “Holiday Inn – Lafayette Retained Fee Amount” shall be, for each Master Servicer Remittance Date, an amount accrued from time to time at 0.05% per annum on the Stated Principal Balance of the Holiday Inn – Lafayette Mortgage Loan or any successor REO Mortgage Loan and shall be calculated on the same Interest Accrual Basis as is applicable to such Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan, as the case may be, and for the same number of days respecting which any related interest payment due on such Mortgage Loan or deemed to be due on such REO Mortgage Loan is computed under the terms of the related Mortgage Note (as such terms may be changed or modified at any time following the Closing Date) and applicable law.

 

WFB and any successor holder of the related Excess Servicing Fee Rights shall be entitled, at any time, at its own expense, to transfer, sell, pledge or otherwise assign its Excess Servicing Fee Rights in whole (but not in part), in either case, to any Qualified Institutional Buyer or Institutional Accredited Investor (other than a Plan), provided that no such transfer, sale, pledge or other assignment shall be made unless (i) that transfer, sale, pledge or other assignment is exempt from the registration and/or qualification requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state and foreign securities laws and is otherwise made in accordance with the Securities Act and such state and foreign securities laws, (ii) the prospective transferor

 

208
 

 

shall have delivered to the Depositor a certificate substantially in the form attached as Exhibit F-3A hereto, and (iii) the prospective transferee shall have delivered to WFB, and the Depositor a certificate substantially in the form attached as Exhibit F-3B hereto. None of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar is obligated to register or qualify an Excess Servicing Fee Right under the Securities Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under this Agreement to permit the transfer, sale, pledge or assignment of an Excess Servicing Fee Right without registration or qualification. WFB and each holder of an Excess Servicing Fee Right desiring to effect a transfer, sale, pledge or other assignment of such Excess Servicing Fee Right shall, and WFB hereby agrees, and each such holder of an Excess Servicing Fee Right by its acceptance of such Excess Servicing Fee Right shall be deemed to have agreed, in connection with any transfer of such Excess Servicing Fee Right effected by such Person, to indemnify the Certificateholders, the Trust, the Depositor, the Underwriters, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Master Servicer, the Trust Advisor, the Certificate Registrar and the Special Servicer against any liability that may result if such transfer is not exempt from registration and/or qualification under the Securities Act or other applicable federal, state and foreign securities laws or is not made in accordance with such federal, state and foreign laws or in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this paragraph. By its acceptance of an Excess Servicing Fee Right, the holder thereof shall be deemed to have agreed not to use or disclose such information in any manner that could result in a violation of any provision of the Securities Act or other applicable securities laws or that would require registration of such Excess Servicing Fee Right or any Certificate pursuant to the Securities Act. From time to time following any transfer, sale, pledge or assignment of an Excess Servicing Fee Right or if at any time WFB shall no longer be the Master Servicer but shall retain an Excess Servicing Fee Right, the Person then acting as the Master Servicer shall pay, out of each amount paid to the Master Servicer as Master Servicing Fees with respect to each subject Mortgage Loan, Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan or REO Mortgage Loan, as the case may be, the related Excess Servicing Fees to the holder of such Excess Servicing Fee Right within one Business Day following the payment of such Master Servicing Fees to the Master Servicer, in each case in accordance with payment instructions provided by such holder in writing to the Master Servicer. The holder of an Excess Servicing Fee Right shall not have any rights under this Agreement except as set forth in the preceding sentences of this paragraph. None of the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, the Depositor, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust Advisor, the Custodian or the Tax Administrator shall have any obligation whatsoever regarding payment of the Excess Servicing Fee or the assignment or transfer of the Excess Servicing Fee Right.

As to each such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and REO Mortgage Loan (in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination, including both the interest therein represented by the related Mortgage Loan and the interest therein represented by the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan), for any particular calendar month or applicable portion thereof, the Special Servicing Fee shall accrue at the Special Servicing Fee Rate on the Stated Principal Balance of such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or related REO Mortgage Loan, as the case may be, and shall be calculated on the same Interest Accrual Basis as is applicable for such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan, as the case may be, and for the same number of days respecting which any related interest payment due on such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or deemed to be due on such REO Mortgage Loan is computed under the terms of the related Mortgage Note (as such terms may be changed or modified at any time following the Closing Date) and applicable law. To the extent attributable to a Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicing Fee with respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or any successor REO Mortgage Loan thereto shall cease to accrue as of the date a Liquidation Event occurs in respect of such Mortgage Loan or, in the case of such a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, as of the date that such Mortgage Loan becomes a Corrected Mortgage Loan. To the extent attributable to a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, the Special Servicing Fee with respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or any successor REO Mortgage Loan thereto shall cease to accrue as of the date a Liquidation Event occurs in respect of the related Mortgage Loan or REO Property included in the same Serviced Loan Combination or, in the case of such a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, as of the date the related Mortgage Loan becomes a Corrected Mortgage Loan. Earned but unpaid Special Servicing Fees with respect to Mortgage Loans that are Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Mortgage Loans shall be payable (pursuant to Section 3.05(a)) monthly first out of related Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and/or Condemnation Proceeds, if any, and then out of general collections on the Mortgage Loans and any REO Properties on deposit in the Collection Account and earned but unpaid Special Servicing Fees with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination or any successor REO Mortgage Loan with respect thereto shall be payable in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement and first, out of the proceeds of such Serviced Loan Combination on deposit in the Collection Account and/or the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account (as applicable) and then out of general collections in the Collection Account (following which, the Special Servicer shall use efforts in accordance with the Servicing Standard to exercise promptly the rights of the Trust Fund under the related Intercreditor Agreement to obtain reimbursement from the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder (or if any

 

212
 

 

Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan is held by an Other Securitization, from such Other Securitization) of such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan’s allocable share of such Special Servicing Fees to the extent so paid from general collections in the Collection Account).

 

As further compensation for its activities hereunder, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Workout Fee with respect to each Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan that is a Corrected Mortgage Loan, unless the basis on which the related Serviced Mortgage Loan became a Corrected Mortgage Loan was the remediation of a circumstance or condition relating to the related Responsible Repurchase Party’s obligation to repurchase the related Mortgage Loan pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, as applicable, in which case, if such Mortgage Loan is repurchased within the Initial Resolution Period (and, if applicable any Resolution Extension Period as is permitted under Section 2.03) no Workout Fee will be payable from or based upon the receipt of, any Purchase Price paid by the related Responsible Repurchase Party in satisfaction of such repurchase obligation. As to each such Corrected Mortgage Loan, the Workout Fee shall be payable out of, and shall be calculated by application of the Workout Fee Rate to, each payment of interest (other than Default Interest and Post-ARD Additional Interest) and principal received from the related Borrower on such Corrected Mortgage Loan for so long as it remains a Corrected Mortgage Loan, except that any Workout Fees earned with respect to any Serviced Loan Combination or any successor REO Mortgage Loan with respect thereto and attributable to the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan shall be payable in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement and solely out of the proceeds of such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan; provided that any Workout Fees earned with respect to a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan or any successor REO Mortgage Loan with respect thereto will be payable out of any proceeds on or with respect to such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan and/or the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder’s share of proceeds on such related REO Property prior to any proceeds on or with respect to the Mortgage Loan and/or the Trust Fund’s share of proceeds on such related REO Property as otherwise described above. In addition, the determination and payment of the Workout Fee with respect to any Corrected Mortgage Loan (in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination, including both the interest therein represented by the related Mortgage Loan and the interest therein represented by the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) for which the amount of related Offsetting Modification Fees is greater than zero shall be adjusted in the following manner: (i) the Workout Fee Rate shall be multiplied by the aggregate amount of all the scheduled payments of principal and interest scheduled to become due under the terms of such Corrected Mortgage Loan during the period from the date when such Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Loan Combination, as applicable) becomes a Corrected Mortgage Loan to and including the Stated Maturity Date of such Corrected Mortgage Loan, without discounting for present value (the resulting product, the “Workout Fee Projected Amount”); and (ii) either (a) if the amount of the Offsetting Modification Fees for such Corrected Mortgage Loan is greater than or equal to the Workout Fee Projected Amount for such Corrected Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall not be entitled to any payments in respect of the Workout Fee with respect to such Corrected Mortgage Loan, or (b) if the amount of Offsetting Modification Fees for such Corrected Mortgage Loan is less than the Workout Fee Projected Amount, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to payments of the Workout Fee with respect to such Corrected Mortgage Loan, on the terms and conditions otherwise set forth in this Agreement without regard to this sentence, until the cumulative amount of such payments is equal to the excess of the Workout Fee Projected Amount over the Offsetting Modification Fees,

 

213
 

 

after which date the Special Servicer shall not be entitled to any further payments in respect of the Workout Fee for such Corrected Mortgage Loan. The Workout Fee with respect to any Corrected Mortgage Loan shall cease to be payable if such Corrected Mortgage Loan again becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or if the related Mortgaged Property becomes an REO Property; provided that a new Workout Fee would become payable if and when such Serviced Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Loan Combination, as applicable) again became a Corrected Mortgage Loan after having again become a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan. If the Special Servicer is terminated or resigns, the Special Servicer shall retain the right (and the applicable successor Special Servicer shall not have the right) to receive any and all Workout Fees payable in respect of (i) any Serviced Mortgage Loans or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan that became Corrected Mortgage Loans during the period that it acted as the Special Servicer and that were still Corrected Mortgage Loans at the time of such termination or resignation and (ii) unless the Special Servicer was terminated for cause (in which case only clause (i) above shall apply), any Serviced Mortgage Loans or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan that constitute Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans for which the Special Servicer has resolved the circumstances and/or conditions causing any such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan to be a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan such that the Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan would be deemed a Corrected Mortgage Loan but for the Borrower having not yet made, as of the date of such termination or resignation, three timely Monthly Payments required by the terms of the workout; provided that in either case no other event has occurred as of the time of the Special Servicer’s termination or resignation that would otherwise cause such Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Loan Combination, as applicable) to again become a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan. The Workout Fee with respect to any Corrected Mortgage Loan shall be capped in accordance with the last paragraph of this Section 3.11(c).

 

As further compensation for its activities hereunder, the Special Servicer shall also be entitled to receive a Liquidation Fee with respect to each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination, including both the interest therein represented by the related Mortgage Loan and the interest therein represented by the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) as to which any full, partial or discounted payoff is received from the related Borrower and with respect to each Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or Administered REO Property (in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination, including in each case both the interest therein represented by the related Mortgage Loan and the interest therein represented by the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) as to which the Special Servicer receives any Condemnation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds and (without duplication) each Serviced Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Loan Combination, as applicable) as to which the Special Servicer otherwise receives any Condemnation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds; provided that, if a Liquidation Fee otherwise becomes payable with respect to a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, then such Liquidation Fee payable to the Special Servicer with respect to such Mortgage Loan in the aggregate shall be reduced by the amount of any Offsetting Modification Fees; provided, further, that if a Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan only because of an event described in clause (a) of the definition of “Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan” and the related proceeds are received within 90 days following the related Stated Maturity Date in connection with the full and final payoff or refinancing of the related Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, in each case the Special Servicer will not be entitled to collect a Liquidation Fee, but may collect and retain appropriate fees from the related Borrower in

 

214
 

 

connection with such liquidation; provided, further, that no Liquidation Fee shall be paid with respect to: (A) the purchase or other acquisition of any Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan by any Subordinate Class Certificateholder(s), the Sole Certificateholder(s), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 9.01, (B) (i) the repurchase or replacement of any Serviced Mortgage Loan by a Responsible Repurchase Party pursuant to the related Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement as a result of a Material Breach or Material Document Defect, if the repurchase or replacement occurs prior to the end of the period, as the same may be extended, in which such Responsible Repurchase Party must cure, repurchase or substitute for such Serviced Mortgage Loan or (ii) the repurchase or replacement of any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan by a responsible repurchase party pursuant to the related mortgage loan purchase agreement as a result of a material breach or material document defect thereunder, if the repurchase or replacement occurs prior to the end of the period, as the same may be extended, in which such responsible repurchase party must cure, repurchase or substitute for such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, (C) in the case of a Mortgage Loan included in a Serviced Loan Combination or any related Administered REO Property, the purchase or other acquisition of any such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or Administered REO Property by any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) pursuant to or as contemplated by Section 3.26 (provided that a Liquidation Fee shall be payable in connection with such a purchase by a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder relating to a Serviced Loan Combination pursuant to the defaulted loan purchase option (if any) granted to it under the related Intercreditor Agreement if the purchase occurs more than ninety (90) days after the later of (x) the date when the related Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and (y) the date when such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder receives the initial written notice from the Special Servicer that such transfer to special servicing has occurred) or (D) the purchase of any such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or Administered REO Property by any other creditor of the related Borrower or any of its Affiliates or other equity holders pursuant to a right under the related Mortgage Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the purchase of any such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or Administered REO Property by a mezzanine lender of the related Borrower or any of its Affiliates pursuant to the related mezzanine intercreditor or other similar agreement) (provided that such right is exercised within ninety (90) days after such creditor’s purchase option first becomes exercisable and in the manner required under such Mortgage Loan Documents or, with respect to any purchase by a mezzanine lender pursuant to the related mezzanine intercreditor agreement, if the purchase occurs within ninety (90) days after the later of (x) the date when the related Serviced Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and (y) the date when such mezzanine lender receives the initial written notice from the Special Servicer that such transfer to special servicing has occurred)). As to each such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or Administered REO Property for which the Special Servicer is entitled to a Liquidation Fee as set forth above, such Liquidation Fee shall be payable out of, and shall be calculated by application of the Liquidation Fee Rate to, any such full, partial or discounted payoff, Condemnation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and/or Liquidation Proceeds received or collected in respect thereof (other than any portion of such payment or proceeds that represents Default Charges or Post-ARD Additional Interest) provided that any Liquidation Fees earned with respect to a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan in a Serviced Loan Combination shall be payable out of any collections on or with respect to such related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan and/or the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder’s share of collections on any related Administered REO

 

215
 

 

Property prior to payment out of any collections otherwise described above). The Liquidation Fee with respect to any such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan shall not be payable if such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan becomes a Corrected Mortgage Loan. The Liquidation Fee with respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan shall be capped in accordance with the last paragraph of this Section 3.11(c).

 

The Special Servicer’s right to receive any Special Servicing Fee, Workout Fee and/or Liquidation Fee to which it is entitled may not be transferred in whole or in part except in connection with the transfer of all of the Special Servicer’s responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement and except as otherwise expressly provided herein, including as provided in the next sentence. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Special Servicer may enter into one or more arrangements with the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder and/or the Subordinate Class Representative, or any other Person(s) that may be entitled to remove or replace the Special Servicer, to provide for the payment by the Special Servicer to such party or parties of certain of the Special Servicer’s compensation hereunder, whether in consideration of the Special Servicer’s appointment or continuation of appointment as Special Servicer in connection with this Agreement or the related Intercreditor Agreement, limitations on such parties’ right to terminate or replace the Special Servicer in connection with this Agreement or the related Intercreditor Agreement or otherwise. If the Special Servicer exercises the authority set forth in the preceding sentence, any and all obligations pursuant to any such agreement shall constitute obligations solely of the Special Servicer and not of any other party hereto. If the Special Servicer enters into such an agreement and one or more other Person(s) thereafter becomes the applicable Majority Subordinate Certificateholders, the Subordinate Class Representative, or becomes entitled to remove or replace the Special Servicer, as applicable, such agreement shall not be binding on such other Person(s), nor may it limit the rights that otherwise inure to the benefit of such other Person(s) as the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder and/or the Subordinate Class Representative, as applicable, or as a party otherwise entitled to remove or replace the Special Servicer, in the absence of such other Persons(s)’ express written consent, which may be granted or withheld in their sole discretion.

 

The total amount of Workout Fees, Liquidation Fees and Modification Fees received by the Special Servicer with respect to the workout, liquidation (including partial liquidation), modification, extension, waiver or amendment of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Loan Combination that is in special servicing) or REO Mortgage Loan shall be subject to an aggregate cap equal to the greater of (i) $1,000,000 and (ii) 1.00% of the Stated Principal Balance of the subject Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Loan Combination that is in special servicing) or REO Mortgage Loan.

(ii)           50% of Modification Fees collected during the related Collection Period with respect to Performing Serviced Mortgage Loans and Performing Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loans in connection with a consent, approval or other action that the Master Servicer is not permitted to take in the absence of the consent or approval (or deemed consent or approval) of the Special Servicer under the other provisions of this Agreement, subject to the cap set forth in Section 3.11(c) above;

 

(iii)          100% of Assumption Fees collected during the related Collection Period with respect to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, and 50% of Assumption Fees collected during the related Collection Period with respect to Performing Serviced Mortgage Loans and Performing Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loans in connection with a consent, approval or other action that the Master Servicer is not permitted to take in the absence of the consent or approval (or deemed consent or approval) of the Special Servicer under the other provisions of this Agreement;

217
 

 

(ix)          a portion of Net Default Charges as set forth in Section 3.25.

 

To the extent that any of the amounts described in clauses (i) through (vii) of the preceding paragraph are collected by the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer shall promptly pay such amounts to the Special Servicer and shall not be required to deposit such amounts in the Collection Account or the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account pursuant to Section 3.04.

 

For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any fee split between the applicable Master Servicer and the applicable Special Servicer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the applicable Master Servicer and the applicable Special Servicer shall each have the right, but not any obligation, to reduce or elect not to charge its respective percentage interest in any such fee; provided, however (x) neither the applicable Master Servicer nor the applicable Special Servicer shall have the right to reduce or elect not to charge the percentage interest of any fee due to the other and (y) to the extent either of the applicable Master Servicer or the applicable Special Servicer exercises its right to reduce or elect not to charge its respective percentage interest in any fee, the party that reduced or elected not to charge such fee shall not have any right to share in any portion of the other party’s fee. For the avoidance of doubt, if the applicable Master Servicer decides not to charge any fee, the applicable Special Servicer shall still be entitled to charge the portion of the related fee the applicable Special Servicer would have been entitled to if the applicable Master Servicer had charged a fee and the applicable Master Servicer shall not be entitled to any of such fee charged by the applicable Special Servicer.

 

(e)           The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each be required (subject to Section 3.11(h) below) to pay out of its own funds all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities hereunder (including payment of any amounts due and owing to any of Sub-Servicers retained by it (including any termination fees) and the premiums for any blanket policy or the standby fee or similar premium, if any, for any master force-placed policy obtained by it insuring against hazard losses pursuant to Section 3.07(c)), if and to the extent such expenses are not payable directly out of the Collection Account, the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account, any Servicing Account, Reserve Account or REO Account, and neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for any such expense incurred by it except as expressly provided in this Agreement. If the Master Servicer is required to make any Servicing Advance hereunder at the discretion of the Special Servicer in accordance with Section 3.19 or otherwise, the Special Servicer shall promptly provide the Master Servicer with such documentation regarding the subject Servicing Advance as the Master Servicer may reasonably request.

 

(f)            If the Master Servicer or, as contemplated by Section 3.19, the Special Servicer is required under this Agreement to make a Servicing Advance, but fails to do so within ten (10) days after such Advance is required to be made, the Trustee shall, if it has actual knowledge of such failure on the part of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, give written notice of such failure to the defaulting party. If such Advance is not made by the Master Servicer within one Business Day after receipt of such written notice, then (subject to Section 3.11(h) below) the Trustee shall make such Advance.

 

218
 

 

(g)           The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee shall each be entitled to receive interest at the Reimbursement Rate in effect from time to time, accrued on the amount of each Servicing Advance made thereby (with its own funds), for so long as such Servicing Advance is outstanding (it being acknowledged that Advance Interest shall not accrue on Unliquidated Advances related to prior Servicing Advances). Such interest with respect to any Servicing Advances shall be payable: (i) first, in accordance with Sections 3.05 and 3.25, out of any Default Charges subsequently collected on or in respect of the particular Serviced Mortgage Loan, Serviced Loan Combination or Administered REO Property as to which such Servicing Advance relates; and (ii) then, after such Servicing Advance is reimbursed, but only if and to the extent that such Default Charges are insufficient to cover such Advance Interest, out of general collections on the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties on deposit in the Collection Account. The Master Servicer shall (subject to the operation of Section 3.05(a)(II)) reimburse itself, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as appropriate, for any Servicing Advance made by any such Person with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan or Administered REO Property as soon as practicable after funds available for such purpose are deposited in the Collection Account or the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account, as applicable.

 

(h)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee shall be required to make any Servicing Advance that would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. The determination by any Person with an obligation hereunder to make Servicing Advances that it has made a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance or that any proposed Servicing Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, shall be made by such Person subject to the Servicing Standard, or, in the case of the Trustee, in its reasonable, good faith judgment. In making such recoverability determination, such Person will be entitled to consider (among other things) the obligations of the Borrower under the terms of the related Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination as it may have been modified, to consider (among other things) 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, to estimate and consider (among other things) future expenses and to estimate and consider (among other things) the timing of recoveries. In addition, any such Person may update or change its recoverability determinations at any time and may obtain any analysis, Appraisals or market value estimates or other information in the possession of the Special Servicer for such purposes. Any determination by any Person with an obligation hereunder to make Servicing Advances that it has made a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance or that any proposed Servicing Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered promptly to the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee (unless it is the Person making such determination), the Special Servicer, the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder (other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan) and the Subordinate Class Representative (other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan) and, if any Serviced Loan Combination is involved, any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) (or Other Master Servicer), setting forth the basis for such determination, accompanied by a copy of any Appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property performed within the 12 months preceding such determination by a Qualified Appraiser, and, if such reports were used by the Master Servicer or the Trustee to determine that any Servicing Advance is or would be nonrecoverable, further accompanied by any other information, including engineers’ reports, environmental surveys or similar reports,

 

219
 

 

that the Person making such determination may have obtained. Notwithstanding the foregoing, absent bad faith, any such determination as to the recoverability of any Servicing Advance shall be conclusive and binding on the Certificateholders and, in all cases, the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any determination of nonrecoverability that may have been made by the Master Servicer or Special Servicer or, if appropriate, any party under the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement (in the case of a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan), and the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each be entitled to conclusively rely on any determination of nonrecoverability that may have been made by the other such party or, if appropriate, any party under the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement (in the case of a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan) with respect to a particular Servicing Advance for any Serviced Mortgage Loan, Serviced Loan Combination or Administered REO Property. The Special Servicer shall promptly furnish any party required to make Servicing Advances hereunder with any information in its possession regarding the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and Administered REO Properties as such party required to make Servicing Advances may reasonably request. A copy of any such Officer’s Certificate (and accompanying information) of the Master Servicer shall also be delivered promptly to the Special Servicer, a copy of any such Officer’s Certificate (and accompanying information) of the Special Servicer shall also be promptly delivered to the Master Servicer for the subject Serviced Mortgage Loan, Serviced Loan Combination or Administered REO Property, and a copy of any such Officer’s Certificates (and accompanying information) of the Trustee shall also be promptly delivered to the Certificate Administrator, the Subordinate Class Representative (other than information related to any related Excluded Loan), the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder (other than information related to any related Excluded Loan), the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer and, if any Serviced Loan Combination is involved, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s). The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall consider Unliquidated Advances in respect of prior Servicing Advances as outstanding Advances for purposes of recoverability determinations as if such Unliquidated Advance were a Servicing Advance.

 

The Special Servicer shall also be entitled to make (but shall not be obligated to make or not make), in its sole discretion, a determination (subject to the same standards and procedures that apply in connection with a determination by the Master Servicer) to the effect that a prior Servicing Advance (or Unliquidated Advance in respect thereof) previously made hereunder by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (or, if applicable, the Trustee) constitutes a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance or that any proposed Servicing Advance by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (or, if applicable, the Trustee), if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, in which case such determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Master Servicer and the Trustee and such Servicing Advance shall constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance for all purposes of this Agreement (but this statement shall not be construed to entitle the Special Servicer to reverse any other authorized Person’s determination, or to prohibit any such other authorized Person from making a determination, that a Servicing Advance constitutes or would constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance). The preceding statement shall not be construed to limit the provision set forth in Section 3.19(b) to the effect that any request by the Special Servicer that the Master Servicer make a Servicing Advance shall be deemed to be a determination by the Special Servicer that such Servicing Advance is not a Nonrecoverable Advance.

(i)             Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Master Servicer may (and, at the direction of the Special Servicer if a Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination that is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or an Administered REO Property is involved, shall) pay directly out of the Collection Account any servicing expense that, if paid by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance for the subject Serviced Mortgage Loan, Serviced Loan Combination or REO Property; provided that (A) it shall be a condition to such payment that the Master Servicer (or the Special Servicer, if a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or an Administered REO Property is involved) has determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard that making such payment is in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, if applicable, any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders (as a collective whole), as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered promptly to the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder (other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan) and the Subordinate Class Representative (other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan) and, if any Serviced Loan Combination is involved, any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s), setting forth the basis for such determination and accompanied by any information that such Person may have obtained that supports such determination; (B) if such servicing expense relates to any Serviced Loan Combination, the payment of such expense shall be subject to the proviso at the end of the first paragraph of Section 3.05(a)(I); and (C) such servicing expense shall be deemed to constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance for purposes of Section 3.05(a)(II)(iv) and the definition of “Principal Distribution Amount” and the terms and conditions set forth in such subsection that are applicable to Nonrecoverable Advances shall apply to such servicing expense. A copy of any such Officer’s Certificate (and accompanying information) of the Master Servicer shall also be delivered promptly to the Subordinate Class Representative (other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan), the Special Servicer and, if any Serviced Loan Combination is involved, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s), and a copy of any such Officer’s Certificate (and accompanying information) of the Special Servicer shall also be promptly delivered to the Master Servicer, the Subordinate Class Representative (other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan) and, if any Serviced Loan Combination is involved, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s).

 

(j)             With respect to each Collection Period during which any Disclosable Special Servicer Fees were received by the Special Servicer, the Special Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Master Servicer within two (2) Business Days following the related Determination Date, and, if so delivered, the Master Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Certificate Administrator, within three (3) Business Days following the related Determination Date, in each case without charge, a report in EDGAR-Compatible Format (or such other format as mutually agreeable between the Certificate Administrator and the Special Servicer) that discloses and contains an itemized listing of any Disclosable Special Servicer Fees received by the Special Servicer or any of its Affiliates, if any, during the related Collection Period.

 

(k)            The Special Servicer and its Affiliates shall be prohibited from receiving or retaining any compensation or any other remuneration (including, without limitation, in the form of commissions, brokerage fees, rebates, or as a result of any other fee-sharing arrangement) from any Person (including, without limitation, the Trust, any Borrower, any property manager, any guarantor or indemnitor in respect of a Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination and

 

221
 

 

any purchaser of any Mortgage Loan, Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan or REO Property) in connection with the disposition, workout or foreclosure of any Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, the management or disposition of any REO Property or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, or the performance of any other special servicing duties under this Agreement, other than as expressly provided in this Section 3.11; provided that such prohibition shall not apply to Permitted Special Servicer/Affiliate Fees.

 

Section 3.12     Property Inspections; Collection of Financial Statements. (a) The Special Servicer shall perform or cause to be performed a physical inspection of a Mortgaged Property securing a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan as soon as practicable (but in any event not later than sixty (60) days) after the subject Serviced Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (and the Special Servicer shall continue to perform or cause to be performed a physical inspection of the subject Mortgaged Property at least once per calendar year thereafter for so long as the subject Serviced Mortgage Loan remains a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or if such Mortgaged Property becomes an REO Property); provided that the Special Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of the reasonable and direct out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it in connection with each such inspection as Servicing Advances or otherwise as contemplated by Section 3.05(a). The Master Servicer shall, at its own expense, inspect or cause to be inspected each Mortgaged Property (other than a Mortgaged Property securing a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan) every calendar year beginning in 2016, or every second calendar year beginning in 2017 if the unpaid principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan (or the portion thereof allocated to such Mortgaged Property) is less than $2,000,000; provided that with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan (other than a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan) that has an aggregate unpaid principal balance of less than $2,000,000 and has been placed on the CREFC® Servicer Watch List, the Master Servicer shall, at the request and expense of the Subordinate Class Representative, inspect or cause to be inspected the related Mortgaged Property every calendar year not earlier than 2016 so long as such Mortgage Loan continues to be on the CREFC® Servicer Watch List; and provided, further, that the Master Servicer will not be obligated to inspect any particular Mortgaged Property during any one-year or two-year, as applicable, period contemplated above in this sentence, if the Special Servicer has already done so during that period pursuant to the preceding sentence or on any date when the related Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan. Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall prepare a written report of each such inspection performed by it or on its behalf that sets forth in detail the condition of the subject Mortgaged Property and that specifies the occurrence or existence of: (i) any vacancy in the Mortgaged Property that is, in the reasonable judgment of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer (or its respective designee), as the case may be, material and is evident from such inspection, (ii) any abandonment of the Mortgaged Property of which it is aware, (iii) any change in the condition or value of the Mortgaged Property that is, in the reasonable judgment of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer (or its respective designee), as the case may be, material and is evident from such inspection, (iv) any material waste on or deferred maintenance in respect of the Mortgaged Property that is evident from such inspection or (v) any material capital improvements made that are evident from such inspection. Such report may be in the form of the standard property inspection report (or such other form for the presentation of such information) as may from time to time be recommended by the CREFC® for commercial mortgage-backed securities transactions generally. Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall deliver or make available a copy (or image in suitable electronic media) of each such written report

 

222
 

 

prepared by it (x) promptly following preparation, to the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee (and to the Master Servicer, if done by the Special Servicer, and to the Special Servicer, if done by the Master Servicer), (y) if there has been a material adverse change in the condition of the subject Mortgaged Property or REO Property, as applicable, promptly following preparation, to the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder (other than with respect to any Mortgaged Property securing a related Excluded Loan that is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan), the Subordinate Class Representative (other than with respect to any Mortgaged Property securing a related Excluded Loan that is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan) (and, if a Mortgaged Property or REO Property relates to any Serviced Loan Combination, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) if and to the extent required under the applicable Intercreditor Agreement), and the Rating Agencies (subject to Section 3.27), and (z) if there has been no material adverse change in the condition of the subject Mortgaged Property or REO Property, as applicable, upon request, to, or at the direction of the Subordinate Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period and any Collective Consultation Period, and other than with respect to any Mortgaged Property securing a related Excluded Loan that is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan), the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder (during any Subordinate Control Period and any Collective Consultation Period and other than with respect to any Mortgaged Property securing a related Excluded Loan that is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan), the Trust Advisor (during any Collective Consultation Period and any Senior Consultation Period) and, if applicable, any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder, in each case within thirty (30) days following receipt of such request.

 

(b)           Commencing with respect to the calendar year ending December 31, 2016 (as to annual information) and the calendar quarter ending on March 31, 2016 (as to quarterly information), the Special Servicer, in the case of any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, and the Master Servicer, in the case of each Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan, shall make reasonable efforts to collect promptly from each related Borrower quarterly and annual operating statements, budgets and rent rolls (if applicable) of the related Mortgaged Property, and quarterly and annual financial statements of such Borrower, whether or not delivery of such items is required pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents. The Master Servicer shall deliver or make available images in suitable electronic media of all of the foregoing items so collected or obtained by it to the Persons and in the time and manner set forth in Section 4.02(d). In addition, the Special Servicer shall cause quarterly and annual operating statements, budgets and rent rolls to be regularly prepared in respect of each Administered REO Property and shall collect all such items promptly following their preparation. The Special Servicer shall deliver images in suitable electronic media of all of the foregoing items so collected or obtained by it to the Master Servicer, the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder (during any Subordinate Control Period and any Collective Consultation Period, and other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan), the Subordinate Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period and any Collective Consultation Period, and other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan), the Trust Advisor (during any Collective Consultation Period and any Senior Consultation Period) and, if any Serviced Loan Combination is involved, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) if and to the extent required under the applicable Intercreditor Agreement, within thirty (30) days of its receipt thereof.

Section 3.14      [Reserved].

 

Section 3.15      Access to Information. (a) Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall afford to the OTS, the FDIC, any other banking or insurance regulatory authority that may exercise authority over any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Trust Advisor (except that the Trust Advisor shall be entitled to such access only from the Special Servicer during any Collective Consultation Period or Senior Consultation Period and only with respect to Mortgage Loan information that the Trust Advisor determined is reasonably necessary in order for it to perform any consultation right or duty it may then currently have with respect to such Mortgage Loan under the other provisions of this Agreement), the Depositor, each Underwriter, the Subordinate Class Representative (other than any Excluded Information with respect to a related Excluded Loan) and any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder, access to any records regarding the Mortgage Loans serviced by it hereunder (or, in the case of a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder, only the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) and the servicing thereof within its control, except to the extent it is prohibited from doing so by applicable law, the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents or contract entered into prior to the Closing Date or to the extent such information is subject to a privilege under applicable law to be asserted on behalf of the Certificateholders. At the election of the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer, such access may be so afforded to the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Depositor, the Trust Advisor, the Subordinate Class Representative, the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder, by the delivery of copies of information as requested by such Person and the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be permitted to require payment of a sum sufficient to cover the reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by it in making such copies. Such access shall otherwise be afforded without charge but only upon reasonable prior written request and during normal business hours at the offices of the particular Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, designated by it.

 

(b)          In connection with providing access to information pursuant to Section 3.15(a) above, Section 4.02(a), Section 8.12(d) or, only with respect to clause (i) below, Section 8.12(g), each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer may (i) affix a reasonable disclaimer to any information provided by it for which it is not the original source (without suggesting liability on the part of any other party hereto); (ii) affix to any information provided by it a reasonable statement regarding securities law restrictions on such information and/or condition access to information on the execution of a reasonable confidentiality agreement; (iii) withhold access to confidential information or any intellectual property; and (iv) withhold access to items of information contained in the Servicing File for any Serviced Mortgage Loan if the disclosure of such items is prohibited by applicable law or the provisions of any related Mortgage Loan Documents or would constitute a waiver of the attorney-client privilege. In connection with providing access to information pursuant to this Section 3.15, the Master Servicer shall require the execution (which may be in electronic form) of a confidentiality agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit K-4 hereto.

 

(c)          Upon the request of the Subordinate Class Representative made not more frequently than once a month during the normal business hours of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall, without charge, make a knowledgeable Servicing Officer available either by telephone (with Servicing Officers

 

224
 

 

of each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer participating simultaneously if the Subordinate Class Representative so requests) or, at the option of the Subordinate Class Representative if it provides reasonable advance notice, at the office of such Servicing Officer, to verbally answer questions from the Subordinate Class Representative regarding the performance and servicing of the Serviced Mortgage Loans (other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan) and/or Administered REO Properties for which the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, is responsible.

 

(d)          Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the failure of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer to disclose any information otherwise required to be disclosed by it pursuant to this Agreement shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement to the extent that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, determines, in its reasonable and good faith judgment consistent with the Servicing Standard, that such disclosure would violate applicable law or any provision of a Mortgage Loan Document prohibiting disclosure of information with respect to the Mortgage Loans or the Mortgaged Properties, constitute a waiver of the attorney-client privilege on behalf of the Trust or the Trust Fund or otherwise materially harm the Trust or the Trust Fund.

 

(e)          If any of the parties to this Agreement receives a Form ABS Due Diligence-15E from any party in connection with any third-party due diligence services such party may have provided with respect to the Mortgage Loans (any such party a “Due Diligence Service Provider”), such receiving party shall promptly forward such Form ABS Due Diligence-15E to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider for posting on the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website. The Rule 17g-5 Information Provider shall post on the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website any Form ABS Due Diligence-15E it receives directly from a Due Diligence Service Provider or from another party to this Agreement, promptly upon receipt thereof. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be required to make any determination as to whether any service provided by a third party requires obtaining a Form ABS Due Diligence-15E.

 

(f)           Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be liable for providing, disseminating or withholding information in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In addition to their other rights hereunder, each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer (and their respective employees, attorneys, officers, directors and agents) shall, in each case, be indemnified by the Trust Fund for any claims, losses or expenses arising from any such provision, dissemination or withholding.

 

(g)          In connection with its rights or obligations under this Agreement, any Subordinate Class Certificateholder (i) shall not directly or indirectly provide any Excluded Information related to any Excluded Controlling Class Loan to the related Mortgagor, or to any employee involved in the management or oversight of the related direct or indirect equity investment that gives rise to the related Mortgage Loan’s status as an Excluded Controlling Class Loan, and (ii) shall maintain sufficient internal controls and appropriate policies and procedures in place in order to comply with the obligations described in clause (i) above.

 

Section 3.16     Title to Administered REO Property; REO Account. (a) If title to any Administered REO Property is acquired, the deed or certificate of sale shall be issued to the

 

225
 

 

Trustee or its nominee, on behalf of the Certificateholders (and, in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination, also the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s)), or, subject to Section 3.09(b), to a single-member limited liability company of which the Trust is the sole member, which limited liability company is formed or caused to be formed by the Special Servicer at the expense of the Trust (or, in the case of an Administered REO Property related to a Mortgage Loan that is part of a Serviced Loan Combination, the Trust and the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) for the purpose of taking title to one or more Administered REO Properties pursuant to this Agreement. Any such limited liability company formed by the Special Servicer shall be a manager-managed limited liability company, with the Special Servicer to serve as the initial manager to manage the property of the limited liability company, including any applicable Administered REO Property, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement as if such property was held directly in the name of the Trust or Trustee under this Agreement. The Special Servicer shall sell any Administered REO Property in accordance with Section 3.18 by the end of the third calendar year following the year in which the Trust acquires ownership of such Administered REO Property for purposes of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code, unless the Special Servicer either (i) applies, more than sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of such liquidation period, and is granted (or, pursuant to IRS regulations, deemed to have been granted) an extension of time or the IRS does not deny an application for an extension of time (an “REO Extension”) by the IRS to sell such Administered REO Property or (ii) obtains for the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee, to the effect that the holding by the Trust of such Administered REO Property subsequent to the end of the third calendar year following the year in which such acquisition occurred will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event with respect to any REMIC Pool or an Adverse Grantor Trust Event with respect to the Grantor Trust Pool. Regardless of whether the Special Servicer applies for or is granted the REO Extension contemplated by clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence or obtains the Opinion of Counsel referred to in clause (ii) of such sentence, the Special Servicer shall act in accordance with the Servicing Standard to liquidate the subject Administered REO Property on a timely basis. If the Special Servicer is granted such REO Extension or obtains such Opinion of Counsel with respect to any Administered REO Property, the Special Servicer shall (i) promptly forward a copy of such REO Extension or Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee, and (ii) sell the subject Administered REO Property within such extended period as is permitted by such REO Extension or contemplated by such Opinion of Counsel, as the case may be. Any expense incurred by the Special Servicer in connection with its applying for and being granted the REO Extension contemplated by clause (i) of the third preceding sentence or its obtaining the Opinion of Counsel contemplated by clause (ii) of the third preceding sentence, and for the creation of and the operating of a limited liability company, shall be covered by, and be reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance.

 

(b)           The Special Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received by it in connection with any Administered REO Property separate and apart from its own funds and general assets. If any REO Acquisition occurs in respect of any Mortgaged Property securing a Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, then the Special Servicer shall establish and maintain one or more accounts (collectively, the “REO Account”), to be held on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders (or, in the case of any Administered REO Property related to a Serviced Loan Combination, on behalf of both the Certificateholders and the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s)), as a collective whole, for the retention of revenues and other proceeds derived from such Administered REO Property. Each

 

226
 

 

account that constitutes the REO Account shall be an Eligible Account. The Special Servicer shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, in the REO Account, within one Business Day following receipt, all REO Revenues, Insurance Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds and Liquidation Proceeds received in respect of an Administered REO Property. Funds in the REO Account may be invested in Permitted Investments in accordance with Section 3.06. The Special Servicer is authorized to pay out of related Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and/or Condemnation Proceeds, if any, any Liquidation Expenses incurred in respect of an Administered REO Property and outstanding at the time such proceeds are received, as well as any other items that otherwise may be paid by the Master Servicer out of such Liquidation Proceeds as contemplated by Section 3.05(a). The Special Servicer shall be entitled to make withdrawals from the REO Account to pay itself, as Additional Special Servicing Compensation, interest and investment income earned in respect of amounts held in the REO Account as provided in Section 3.06(b) (but only to the extent of the Net Investment Earnings, if any, with respect to the REO Account for any Collection Period). The Special Servicer shall give notice to the other parties hereto of the location of the REO Account when first established and of the new location of the REO Account prior to any change thereof.

 

(c)            The Special Servicer shall withdraw from the REO Account funds necessary for the proper operation, management, leasing, maintenance and disposition of any Administered REO Property, but only to the extent of amounts on deposit in the REO Account relating to such Administered REO Property. Monthly within one Business Day following the end of each Collection Period, the Special Servicer shall withdraw from the REO Account and deposit into the Collection Account, or deliver to the Master Servicer for deposit into the Collection Account, the aggregate of all amounts received in respect of each Administered REO Property during such Collection Period that are then on deposit in the REO Account, net of any withdrawals made out of such amounts pursuant to the preceding sentence; provided that (A) in the case of each Administered REO Property, the Special Servicer may retain in the REO Account such portion of such proceeds and collections as may be necessary to maintain a reserve of sufficient funds for the proper operation, management, leasing, maintenance and disposition of such Administered REO Property (including the creation of a reasonable reserve for repairs, replacements, necessary capital improvements and other related expenses) and (B) if such Administered REO Property relates to a Serviced Loan Combination, the Master Servicer shall make, from such amounts so deposited or remitted as described above, any deposits into the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account contemplated by Section 3.04(h) or Section 3.04(i), as applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, such amounts withdrawn from the REO Account and deposited into the Collection Account following the end of each Collection Period pursuant to the preceding sentence shall, upon such deposit, be construed to have been received by the Master Servicer during such Collection Period.

 

(d)           The Special Servicer shall keep and maintain separate records, on a property-by-property basis, for the purpose of accounting for all deposits to, and withdrawals from, the REO Account pursuant to Section 3.16(b) or 3.16(c).

 

(e)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Section 3.16 shall not apply to any REO Property related to a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan.

 

227
 

 

Section 3.17     Management of Administered REO Property. (a) Prior to the acquisition of title to any Mortgaged Property securing a defaulted Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall review the operation of such Mortgaged Property and determine the nature of the income that would be derived from such property if it were acquired by the Trust. If the Special Servicer determines from such review that:

 

(i)        None of the income from Directly Operating such Mortgaged Property would be subject to tax as “net income from foreclosure property” within the meaning of the REMIC Provisions (such tax referred to herein as an “REO Tax”), then such Mortgaged Property may be Directly Operated by the Special Servicer as Administered REO Property, other than holding such Administered REO Property for sale or lease or performing construction work thereon;

 

(ii)      Directly Operating such Mortgaged Property as an Administered REO Property could result in income from such property that would be subject to an REO Tax, but that a lease of such property to another party to operate such property, or the performance of some services by an Independent Contractor with respect to such property, or another method of operating such property would not result in income subject to an REO Tax, then the Special Servicer may (provided that in the judgment of the Special Servicer, exercised in accordance with the Servicing Standard, it is commercially reasonable) so lease or otherwise operate such Administered REO Property; or

 

(iii)     It is reasonable to believe that Directly Operating such property as Administered REO Property could result in income subject to an REO Tax and either (i) that the income or earnings with respect to such REO Property will offset any REO Tax relating to such income or earnings and will maximize the net recovery from the applicable Administered REO Property to the Certificateholders (taking into account that any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) do not have any obligation under the related Intercreditor Agreement to bear the effect of any such REO Tax) or (ii) that no commercially reasonable means exists to operate such property as Administered REO Property without the Trust incurring or possibly incurring an REO Tax on income from such property, then the Special Servicer shall deliver to the Tax Administrator and the Subordinate Class Representative (other than with respect to any such property securing a related Excluded Loan), in writing, a proposed plan (the “Proposed Plan”) to manage such property as Administered REO Property. Such plan shall include potential sources of income and good faith estimates of the amount of income from each such source. Within a reasonable period of time after receipt of such plan, the Tax Administrator shall consult with the Special Servicer and shall advise the Special Servicer of the Trust’s federal income tax reporting position with respect to the various sources of income that the Trust would derive under the Proposed Plan. In addition, the Tax Administrator shall (to the maximum extent reasonably possible and at a reasonable fee, which fee shall be an expense of the Trust) advise the Special Servicer of the estimated amount of taxes that the Trust would be required to pay with respect to each such source of income. After receiving the information

 

228
 

 

described in the two preceding sentences from the Tax Administrator, the Special Servicer shall either (A) implement the Proposed Plan (after acquiring the respective Mortgaged Property as Administered REO Property) or (B) manage and operate such property in a manner that would not result in the imposition of an REO Tax on the income derived from such property.

 

Subject to Section 3.17(b), the Special Servicer’s decision as to how each Administered REO Property shall be managed and operated shall be in accordance with the Servicing Standard. Neither the Special Servicer nor the Tax Administrator shall be liable to the Certificateholders, the Trustee, the Trust, the other parties hereto, any beneficiaries hereof or each other for errors in judgment made in good faith in the exercise of their discretion while performing their respective responsibilities under this Section 3.17(a) with respect to any Administered REO Property. Nothing in this Section 3.17(a) is intended to prevent the sale of any Administered REO Property pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of Section 3.18.

 

(b)          If title to any Administered REO Property is acquired, the Special Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate such Administered REO Property for the benefit of the Certificateholders (or, in the case of any Administered REO Property related to a Serviced Loan Combination, on behalf of both the Certificateholders and the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s)), as a collective whole, solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in accordance with Section 3.18 below, in a manner that does not cause such Administered REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or, except as contemplated by Section 3.17(a) above, result in the receipt by any REMIC Pool of any “income from non-permitted assets” within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code, in an Adverse REMIC Event with respect to any REMIC Pool or an Adverse Grantor Trust Event with respect to the Grantor Trust Pool. Except as contemplated by Section 3.17(a) above, the Special Servicer shall not enter into any lease, contract or other agreement with respect to any Administered REO Property that causes the Trust to receive, and (unless required to do so under any lease, contract or agreement to which the Special Servicer or the Trust may become a party or successor to a party due to a foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or other similar exercise of a creditor’s rights or remedies with respect to the related Serviced Mortgage Loan) shall not, with respect to any Administered REO Property, cause or allow the Trust to receive, any “net income from foreclosure property” that is subject to taxation under the REMIC Provisions. Subject to the foregoing, however, the Special Servicer shall have full power and authority to do any and all things in connection with the administration of any Administered REO Property, as are consistent with the Servicing Standard and, consistent therewith, shall withdraw from the REO Account, to the extent of amounts on deposit therein with respect to such Administered REO Property, funds necessary for the proper operation, management, maintenance and disposition of such Administered REO Property, including:

 

(i)            all insurance premiums due and payable in respect of such Administered REO Property;

 

(ii)           all real estate taxes and assessments in respect of such Administered REO Property that may result in the imposition of a lien thereon;

(iii)          any ground rents in respect of such Administered REO Property; and

 

(iv)          all other costs and expenses necessary to maintain, lease, sell, protect, manage, operate and restore such Administered REO Property.

 

To the extent that amounts on deposit in the REO Account with respect to any Administered REO Property are insufficient for the purposes contemplated by the preceding sentence with respect to such REO Property, the Master Servicer shall, at the direction of the Special Servicer, but subject to Section 3.11(h), make a Servicing Advance of such amounts as are necessary for such purposes unless the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer determines, in its reasonable judgment, that such advances would, if made, be Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances; provided that the Master Servicer may in its sole discretion make any such Servicing Advance without regard to recoverability if it is a necessary fee or expense incurred in connection with the defense or prosecution of legal proceedings.

 

(c)          The Special Servicer may, and, if required for the Administered REO Property to continue to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code, shall, contract with any Independent Contractor for the operation and management of any Administered REO Property, provided that:

 

(i)            the terms and conditions of any such contract may not be inconsistent herewith and shall reflect an agreement reached at arm’s length;

 

(ii)           the fees of such Independent Contractor (which shall be expenses of the Trust) shall be reasonable and customary in consideration of the nature and locality of such Administered REO Property;

 

(iii)          any such contract shall be consistent with Treasury Regulations Section 1.856-6(e)(6) and shall require, or shall be administered to require, that the Independent Contractor, in a timely manner, (A) pay all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the operation and management of such Administered REO Property, including those listed in Section 3.17(b) above, and (B) remit all related revenues collected (net of its fees and such costs and expenses) to the Special Servicer upon receipt;

 

(iv)          none of the provisions of this Section 3.17(c) relating to any such contract or to actions taken through any such Independent Contractor shall be deemed to relieve the Special Servicer of any of its duties and obligations hereunder with respect to the operation and management of any such Administered REO Property; and

 

(v)           the Special Servicer shall be obligated with respect thereto to the same extent as if it alone were performing all duties and obligations in connection with the operation and management of such Administered REO Property, and the Special Servicer shall comply with the Servicing Standard in maintaining such Independent Contractor.

 

230
 

 

The Special Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with any Independent Contractor performing services for it related to its duties and obligations hereunder for indemnification of the Special Servicer by such Independent Contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification. To the extent the costs of any contract with any Independent Contractor for the operation and management of any Administered REO Property are greater than the revenues available from such property, such excess costs shall be covered by, and be reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance.

 

(d)          Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Special Servicer shall not:

 

(i)            permit the Trust Fund to enter into, renew or extend any New Lease with respect to any Administered REO Property, if the New Lease by its terms will give rise to any income that does not constitute Rents from Real Property;

 

(ii)           permit any amount to be received or accrued under any New Lease other than amounts that will constitute Rents from Real Property;

 

(iii)          authorize or permit any construction on any Administered REO Property, other than the repair or maintenance thereof or the completion of a building or other improvement thereon, and then only if more than 10% of the construction of such building or other improvement was completed before default on the related Mortgage Loan become imminent, all within the meaning of Section 856(e)(4)(B) of the Code; or

 

(iv)          except as otherwise provided for in Sections 3.17(a)(i), 3.17(a)(ii) and 3.17(a)(iii) above, Directly Operate, or allow any other Person, other than an Independent Contractor, to Directly Operate, any Administered REO Property on any date more than ninety (90) days after its date of acquisition by or on behalf of the Trust Fund;

 

unless, in any such case, the Special Servicer has obtained an Opinion of Counsel (the cost of which shall be paid by the Master Servicer as a Servicing Advance) to the effect that such action will not cause such Administered REO Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code at any time that it is held for the benefit of the Trust Fund, in which case the Special Servicer may take such actions as are specified in such Opinion of Counsel.

 

(e)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Section 3.17 shall not apply to any REO Property related to a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan.

 

Section 3.18      Sale of Defaulted Mortgage Loans and Administered REO Properties; Sale of the Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loans. (a) The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee may sell or purchase, or permit the sale or purchase of, a Mortgage Loan or Administered REO Property only (i) on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 3.18, (ii) as otherwise expressly provided in or contemplated by Sections 2.03 and 9.01 of this Agreement, (iii) in the case of a Mortgage Loan (or Administered REO Property related thereto) with a related mezzanine loan, in connection with a

 

231
 

 

Mortgage Loan default if and as set forth in the related intercreditor agreement or (iv) in the case of a Mortgage Loan related to a Serviced Loan Combination (or REO Mortgage Loan related thereto), in connection with a Mortgage Loan default if and as set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement.

 

(b)           Promptly upon a Serviced Mortgage Loan becoming a Defaulted Mortgage Loan and if the Special Servicer determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that it would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders, as a collective whole (or if such Defaulted Mortgage Loan is part of a Serviced Loan Combination, in the best interest of the Certificateholders and the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) as a collective whole), to attempt to sell such Defaulted Mortgage Loan (and if such Defaulted Mortgage Loan is part of a Serviced Loan Combination, to sell the entire Serviced Loan Combination), the Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to solicit offers for such Defaulted Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination on behalf of the Certificateholders (or if such Defaulted Mortgage Loan is part of a Serviced Loan Combination, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s)) in such manner as will be reasonably likely to realize a fair price; provided that, in the case of a Defaulted Mortgage Loan that is part of a Serviced Loan Combination, if the Special Servicer determines to attempt to sell such Mortgage Loan it shall sell such Defaulted Mortgage Loan together with the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan as a whole loan pursuant to Section 3.18(e) and pursuant to the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement. The Special Servicer shall accept the first (and, if multiple offers are contemporaneously received, the highest) cash offer received from any Person that constitutes a fair price for such Defaulted Mortgage Loan, subject to any applicable provisions in the related Intercreditor Agreement. During any Subordinate Control Period or Collective Consultation Period, the Special Servicer shall notify the Subordinate Class Representative (other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan) of any inquiries or offers received regarding the sale of any Defaulted Mortgage Loan. During any Collective Consultation Period or Senior Consultation Period, the Special Servicer shall notify the Trust Advisor of any inquiries or offers received regarding the sale of any Defaulted Mortgage Loan.

 

(c)           The Special Servicer shall give the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Trust Advisor (at any time other than a Subordinate Control Period), the Subordinate Class Representative (at any time other than during a Senior Consultation Period and other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan) and the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder (at any time other than during a Senior Consultation Period and other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan) not less than three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to sell any Defaulted Mortgage Loan. No Interested Person shall be obligated to submit an offer to purchase any Defaulted Mortgage Loan. In no event shall the Trustee, in its individual capacity, offer for or purchase any Defaulted Mortgage Loan.

 

(d)           Whether any cash offer constitutes a fair price for any Defaulted Mortgage Loan (other than a Defaulted Mortgage Loan that is part of a Serviced Loan Combination) for purposes of Section 3.18(b) of this Agreement shall be determined by the Special Servicer, if the highest offeror is a Person other than an Interested Person, and by the Trustee, if the highest offeror is an Interested Person; provided that no offer from an Interested Person shall constitute a fair price unless (i) it is the highest offer received and (ii) at least two other offers are received from independent third parties. In determining whether any offer received from an Interested

 

232
 

 

Person represents a fair price for any such Defaulted Mortgage Loan, (other than a Defaulted Mortgage Loan that is part of a Serviced Loan Combination), the Trustee shall be supplied with and shall rely on the most recent Appraisal or updated Appraisal conducted in accordance with this Agreement within the preceding nine (9) month period or, in the absence of any such Appraisal, on a new Appraisal. The appraiser conducting any such new Appraisal shall be a Qualified Appraiser selected by (i) the Special Servicer, if no Interested Person is so making an offer, or (ii) the Trustee, if an Interested Person is so making an offer. The cost of any such Appraisal shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to the proviso in the first sentence of this paragraph, in the event that an offer from an Interested Person is equal to or in excess of the Purchase Price for such Mortgage Loan, then such offer shall be deemed to be a fair price and the Trustee shall not make such determination (provided that such offer is also the highest cash offer received and at least two independent offers have been received); provided that receipt by the Trustee of such offer pursuant to the applicable notice provisions set forth in Section 12.05 of this Agreement shall be deemed receipt by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee for the purpose of this sentence. Where any Interested Person is among those submitting offers with respect to a Defaulted Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall require that all offers be submitted to the Trustee in writing. In determining whether any such offer from a Person other than an Interested Person constitutes a fair price for any such Defaulted Mortgage Loan (other than a Defaulted Mortgage Loan that is part of a Serviced Loan Combination), the Special Servicer shall take into account (in addition to the results of any Appraisal or updated Appraisal that it may have obtained pursuant to this Agreement within the prior nine (9) months), and in determining whether any offer from an Interested Person constitutes a fair price for any such Defaulted Mortgage Loan (other than a Defaulted Mortgage Loan that is part of a Serviced Loan Combination), the Trustee or any Independent expert designated by the Trustee as described in the immediately following paragraph of this Section 3.18(d) shall be instructed to take into account, as applicable, among other factors, the period and amount of any delinquency on the affected Mortgage Loan, the occupancy level and physical condition of the related Mortgaged Property and the state of the local economy. The Purchase Price for any Defaulted Mortgage Loan shall in all cases be deemed a fair price (but subject to the proviso in the first sentence of this paragraph with respect to an offer from an Interested Person).

 

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 may (at its option and at the expense of the Trust Fund) 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, that has been selected with reasonable care by the Trustee to determine if such cash offer constitutes a fair price for such Mortgage Loan. If the Trustee designates such a third party to make such determination, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon such third party’s determination. The reasonable costs of all appraisals, inspection reports and broker opinions of value incurred by any such third party pursuant to this paragraph shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable from, the offering Interested Person, and to the extent not collected from such Interested Person within 30 days of request therefor, from the Collection Account; provided that, the Trustee shall not engage a third party expert whose fees exceed a commercially reasonable amount as determined by the Trustee.

 

233
 

 

(e)            In the case of a Defaulted Mortgage Loan that is part of a Serviced Loan Combination, the Special Servicer shall solicit offers for such Defaulted Mortgage Loan together with the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan as a whole loan and shall require that all offers be submitted to the Trustee in writing and otherwise meet the requirements of the related Intercreditor Agreement.

 

Whether any cash offer constitutes a fair price for any such Serviced Loan Combination for purposes of Section 3.18(b) of this Agreement shall be determined by the Special Servicer, if the highest offeror is a Person other than an Interested SLC Person, and by the Trustee, if the highest offeror is an Interested SLC Person; provided that no offer from an Interested SLC Person for a Serviced Loan Combination shall constitute a fair price unless (i) it is the highest offer received and (ii) at least two other bona fide offers are received from independent third parties. In determining whether any offer received from an Interested SLC Person represents a fair price for any such Serviced Loan Combination, the Trustee shall be supplied with and shall rely on the most recent Appraisal or updated Appraisal conducted in accordance with this Agreement within the preceding nine (9) month period or, in the absence of any such Appraisal, on a new Appraisal. The appraiser conducting any such new Appraisal shall be a Qualified Appraiser selected by (i) the Special Servicer, if no Interested SLC Person is so making an offer, or (ii) the Trustee, if an Interested SLC Person is so making an offer. The cost of any such Appraisal shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance. In determining whether any such offer from a Person other than an Interested SLC Person constitutes a fair price for any such Serviced Loan Combination, the Special Servicer shall take into account (in addition to the results of any Appraisal or updated Appraisal that it may have obtained pursuant to this Agreement within the prior nine (9) months), and in determining whether any offer from an Interested SLC Person constitutes a fair price for any such Serviced Loan Combination, the Trustee or any Independent expert designated by the Trustee as described in the immediately following paragraph of this Section 3.18(e) shall be instructed to take into account, as applicable, among other factors, the period and amount of any delinquency on the affected Mortgage Loan, the occupancy level and physical condition of the related Mortgaged Property and the state of the local economy. The Trustee shall act in a commercially reasonable manner in making such determination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that an offer from an Interested SLC Person is equal to or in excess of the Purchase Price for such Serviced Loan Combination, then the Trustee will not be required to make any such determination of fair price and such offer will be deemed to be a fair price (provided such offer is also the highest cash offer received and at least two independent offers have been received). Further notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Servicer shall not be permitted to sell the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan without the written consent of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder unless the Special Servicer has delivered to any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder: (a) at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior written notice of any decision to attempt to sell any related Serviced Loan Combination; (b) at least ten (10) days prior to the proposed sale, a copy of each bid package (together with any amendments to such bid packages) received by the Special Servicer in connection with any such proposed sale, (c) at least ten (10) days prior to the proposed sale, a copy of the most recent Appraisal for any such Serviced Loan Combination, and any documents in the Servicing File requested by any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder and (d) until the sale is completed, and a reasonable period of time (but no less time than is afforded to other offerors and the Subordinate Class Representative) prior to the proposed sale date, all information and other documents being

 

234
 

 

provided to other offerors and all leases or other documents that are approved by the Special Servicer in connection with the proposed sale; provided that the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder may waive any of the delivery or timing requirements set forth in this sentence. Subject to the foregoing, each of the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder (other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan), the Subordinate Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period and other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan), any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder or a representative thereof shall be permitted to bid at any sale of the Mortgage Loan.

 

Notwithstanding anything contained in the preceding paragraph to the contrary, if the Trustee is required to determine whether a cash offer by an Interested SLC Person constitutes a fair price, the Trustee may (at its option and at the expense of the Trust Fund) 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 Serviced Loan Combination, that has been selected with reasonable care by the Trustee to determine if such cash offer constitutes a fair price for such Serviced Loan Combination. If the Trustee designates such a third party to make such determination, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon such third party’s determination. The reasonable costs of all appraisals, inspection reports and broker opinions of value incurred by any such third party pursuant to this paragraph shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable from, the offering Interested SLC Person, and to the extent not collected from such Interested SLC Person within 30 days of request therefor, from the Collection Account; provided that, the Trustee shall not engage a third party expert whose fees exceed a commercially reasonable amount as determined by the Trustee.

 

(f)            The Special Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts, consistent with the Servicing Standard, to solicit cash offers for each Administered REO Property in such manner as will be reasonably likely to realize a fair price (determined pursuant to Section 3.18(g) below) for any Administered REO Property within a customary and normal time frame for the sale of comparable properties (and, in any event, within the time period provided for by Section 3.16(a)). The Special Servicer shall accept the first (and, if multiple cash offers are received by a specified offer date, the highest) cash offer received from any Person that constitutes a fair price (determined pursuant to Section 3.18(g) below) for such Administered REO Property. If the Special Servicer reasonably believes that it will be unable to realize a fair price (determined pursuant to Section 3.18(g) below) with respect to any Administered REO Property within the time constraints imposed by Section 3.16(a), then the Special Servicer shall, consistent with the Servicing Standard, dispose of such Administered REO Property upon such terms and conditions as it shall deem necessary and desirable to maximize the recovery thereon under the circumstances.

 

The Special Servicer shall give the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Subordinate Class Representative (other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan) and the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder (other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan) not less than five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice (subject to any applicable provisions in the related Intercreditor Agreement) of its intention to sell any Administered REO Property pursuant to this Section 3.18(f).

 

235
 

 

No Mortgage Loan Seller, Certificateholder or any Affiliate of any such Person shall be obligated to submit an offer to purchase any Administered REO Property, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Trustee, in its individual capacity, may not offer for or purchase any Administered REO Property pursuant hereto.

 

(g)           Whether any cash offer constitutes a fair price for any Administered REO Property for purposes of Section 3.18(f) above, shall be determined by the Special Servicer or, if such cash offer is from the Special Servicer or any Affiliate of the Special Servicer, by the Trustee. In determining whether any offer received from the Special Servicer or an Affiliate of the Special Servicer represents a fair price for any Administered REO Property, the Trustee shall be supplied with and shall be entitled to rely on the most recent Appraisal in the related Servicing File conducted in accordance with this Agreement within the preceding nine-month period (or, in the absence of any such Appraisal or if there has been a material change at the subject property since any such Appraisal, on a new Appraisal to be obtained by the Special Servicer, the cost of which shall be covered by, and be reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance). The appraiser conducting any such new Appraisal shall be a Qualified Appraiser that is (i) selected by the Special Servicer if neither the Special Servicer nor any Affiliate thereof is submitting an offer with respect to the subject Administered REO Property and (ii) selected by the Trustee if either the Special Servicer or any Affiliate thereof is so submitting an offer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, in the event that an offer from the Special Servicer or an Affiliate thereof is equal to or in excess of the Purchase Price for such REO Property, then the Trustee shall not make any determination of fair price and such offer shall be deemed to be a fair price (provided such offer is also the highest cash offer received and at least two independent offers have been received); provided that receipt by the Trustee of such offer pursuant to the applicable notice provisions set forth in Section 12.05 of this Agreement shall be deemed receipt by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee for the purpose of this sentence. Where any Mortgage Loan Seller, any Certificateholder or any Affiliate of any such Person is among those submitting offers with respect to any Administered REO Property, the Special Servicer shall require that all offers be submitted to it (or, if the Special Servicer or an Affiliate thereof is submitting an offer, be submitted to the Trustee) in writing and, if applicable, otherwise meet the requirements of the related Intercreditor Agreement. In determining whether any offer from a Person other than any Mortgage Loan Seller, any Certificateholder or any Affiliate of any such Person constitutes a fair price for any Administered REO Property, the Special Servicer (or the Trustee, if applicable) shall take into account the results of any Appraisal or updated Appraisal that it or the Master Servicer may have obtained in accordance with this Agreement within the prior nine (9) months, as well as, among other factors, the occupancy level and physical condition of such Administered REO Property, the state of the then-current local economy and commercial real estate market where such Administered REO Property is located and the obligation to dispose of such Administered REO Property within a customary and normal time frame for the sale of comparable properties (and, in any event, within the time period specified in Section 3.16(a)). The Trustee may conclusively rely on the opinion of an Independent appraiser or other Independent expert in real estate matters retained by the Trustee at the expense of the Trust Fund in connection with making any such determination. The Purchase Price for any Administered REO Property (which, in connection with an Administered REO Property related to a Serviced Loan Combination, shall be construed and calculated with respect to the entire Serviced Loan Combination) shall in all cases be deemed a fair price. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 3.18, no cash offer

 

236
 

 

from the Special Servicer or any Affiliate thereof shall constitute a fair price for any Administered REO Property unless such offer is the highest cash offer received and at least two Independent offers (not including the offer of the Special Servicer or any Affiliate) have been received. In the event the offer of the Special Servicer or any Affiliate thereof is the only offer received or is the higher of only two offers received, then additional offers shall be solicited. If an additional offer or offers, as the case may be, are received for any Administered REO Property and the original offer of the Special Servicer or any Affiliate thereof is the highest of all offers received, then the offer of the Special Servicer or such Affiliate shall be accepted, provided that the Trustee has otherwise determined, as provided above in Section 3.18(f), that such offer constitutes a fair price for the subject Administered REO Property. Any offer by the Special Servicer for any Administered REO Property shall be unconditional; and, if accepted, the subject Administered REO Property shall be transferred to the Special Servicer without recourse, representation or warranty other than customary representations as to title given in connection with the sale of a real property.

 

Notwithstanding anything contained in the preceding paragraph to the contrary, and, if applicable, to the extent consistent with any related Intercreditor Agreement, if the Trustee is required to determine whether a cash offer by an Interested Person constitutes a fair price, the Trustee may (at its option and at the expense of the Trust Fund) 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, that has been selected with reasonable care by the Trustee to determine if such cash offer constitutes a fair price for such mortgage loan. If the Trustee designates such a third party to make such determination, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon such third party’s determination. The reasonable costs of all appraisals, inspection reports and broker opinions of value incurred by any such third party pursuant to this paragraph shall be covered by, and shall be reimbursable from, the offering Interested Person, and to the extent not collected from such Interested Person within 30 days of request therefor, from the Collection Account; provided that, the Trustee shall not engage a third party expert whose fees exceed a commercially reasonable amount as determined by the Trustee.

 

(h)           Subject to Sections 3.18(a) through 3.18(g) above, the Special Servicer shall act on behalf of the Trust in negotiating with Independent third parties in connection with the sale of any Defaulted Mortgage Loan or Administered REO Property and taking any other action necessary or appropriate in connection with the sale of any Defaulted Mortgage Loan or Administered REO Property, and the collection of all amounts payable in connection therewith. In connection with the sale of any Defaulted Mortgage Loan or Administered REO Property, the Special Servicer may charge prospective offerors, and may retain, fees that approximate the Special Servicer’s actual costs in the preparation and delivery of information pertaining to such sales or evaluating offers without obligation to deposit such amounts into the Collection Account; provided that if the Special Servicer was previously reimbursed for such costs from the Collection Account, then the Special Servicer must deposit such amounts into the Collection Account. Any sale of a Defaulted Mortgage Loan or any Administered REO Property shall be final and without recourse to the Trustee or the Trust, and if such sale is consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, neither the Special Servicer nor the Trustee shall have any liability to any Certificateholder with respect to the purchase price therefor accepted by the Special Servicer or the Trustee.

 

237
 

 

(i)             Any sale of any Defaulted Mortgage Loan or Administered REO Property shall be for cash only. The Special Servicer in its capacity as Special Servicer shall have no authority to provide financing to the purchaser.

 

(j)             With respect to any Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan that becomes a “Defaulted Mortgage Loan” (as such term or other similar term is defined pursuant to the terms of the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement and construed as if such Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan were a “Mortgage Loan” under such Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the liquidation of such Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan shall be administered by the related Non-Trust Special Servicer in accordance with the Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the related Intercreditor Agreement. Any such sale of a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan pursuant to the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement and/or the related Intercreditor Agreement shall be final and without recourse to the Trustee or the Trust, and none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee shall have any liability to any Certificateholder with respect to the purchase price for such Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan accepted on behalf of the Trust.

 

(k)            If any Defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Property is sold under this Section 3.18, or a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan is sold in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement and the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement, then the purchase price shall be deposited into the Collection Account or, if applicable, the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account, and the Trustee, upon receipt of written notice from the Master Servicer to the effect that such deposit has been made (based upon, in the case of a Defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Property, notification by the Special Servicer to the Master Servicer of the amount of the purchase price), shall execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case without recourse, as shall be provided to it and are reasonably necessary to vest ownership of such Mortgage Loan or Administered REO Property in the Person who purchased such Mortgage Loan or Administered REO Property.

 

(l)             Any purchaser of a Defaulted Mortgage Loan that has a related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, whether pursuant to this Section 3.18 or pursuant to Section 2.03 or Section 9.01, will be subject to the related Intercreditor Agreement, including any requirements thereof governing who may be a holder of such Mortgage Loan. The Special Servicer will require, in connection with such a sale of such a Defaulted Mortgage Loan, that the purchaser assume in writing all of the rights and obligations of the holder of such Mortgage Loan under the related Intercreditor Agreement.

 

(m)           In connection with the sale of any Defaulted Mortgage Loan (other than a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan) under the provisions described in this Section 3.18 for an amount less than the Purchase Price, the Special Servicer shall obtain the approval of the Subordinate Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period and other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan) or consult with the Subordinate Class Representative (during any Collective Consultation Period and other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan) and the Special Servicer shall consult with the Trust Advisor (during any Collective Consultation Period or Senior Consultation Period), subject to the Special Servicer’s prevailing duty to comply with the Servicing Standard. In addition, in considering such a sale, the Special Servicer shall consider the interests only of the Certificateholders and, in the case of a Defaulted

 

238
 

 

Mortgage Loan that is part of a Serviced Loan Combination, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) (as a collective whole, as if they together constituted a single lender) (for example, if the prospective buyer making the lower offer is more likely to perform its obligations or the terms offered by the prospective buyer making the lower offer are more favorable). In connection with any consultation with the Trust Advisor contemplated above in this Section 3.18(m), the Special Servicer shall provide the Trust Advisor with any relevant information reasonably requested by the Trust Advisor in order to enable it to consult with the Special Servicer.

 

(n)           Notwithstanding any of the foregoing paragraphs of this Section 3.18, the Special Servicer shall not be obligated to accept the highest cash offer if the Special Servicer determines (in accordance with the Servicing Standard and, to the extent a Subordinate Control Period is then in effect, with the consent or deemed consent of the Subordinate Class Representative (other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan), and, to the extent a Collective Consultation Period is then in effect, in consultation with the Subordinate Class Representative (other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan) and the Trust Advisor, and, to the extent a Senior Consultation Period is then in effect, in consultation with the Trust Advisor), that rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and, in the case of a Defaulted Mortgage Loan that is part of a Serviced Loan Combination, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) (as a collective whole as if they together constituted a single lender), and the Special Servicer may accept a lower cash 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 Defaulted Mortgage Loan that is part of a Serviced Loan Combination, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) (as a collective whole as if they together constituted a single lender). In connection with any consultation with the Trust Advisor contemplated above in this Section 3.18(n), the Special Servicer shall provide the Trust Advisor with any relevant information reasonably requested by the Trust Advisor in order to enable it to consult with the Special Servicer.

 

Section 3.19     Additional Obligations of Master Servicer and Special Servicer. (a) Within sixty (60) days (or within such longer period as the Special Servicer is (as certified thereby to the Trustee in writing) diligently using reasonable efforts to obtain the Appraisal referred to below) after the earliest of the date on which any Serviced Mortgage Loan (i) becomes a Modified Mortgage Loan following the occurrence of a Servicing Transfer Event, (ii) becomes an REO Mortgage Loan, (iii) with respect to which a receiver or similar official is appointed and continues for sixty (60) days in such capacity in respect of the related Mortgaged Property, (iv) the related Borrower becomes the subject of bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceedings or, if such proceedings are involuntary, such proceedings remain undismissed for sixty (60) days, (v) any Monthly Payment (other than a Balloon Payment) becomes sixty (60) days or more delinquent, or (vi) the related Borrower fails to make when due any Balloon Payment and the Borrower does not deliver to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, on or before the Due Date of the Balloon Payment, a written and fully executed (subject only to customary final closing conditions) refinancing commitment from an acceptable lender and reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Master Servicer (and the Master Servicer shall promptly forward such commitment to the Special Servicer) which provides that such refinancing will occur within 120 days after the date on which the Balloon Payment will become

due (provided that if either such refinancing does not occur during that time or the Master Servicer is required during that time to make any P&I Advance in respect of the Mortgage Loan, an Appraisal Trigger Event will occur immediately) (each such event, an “Appraisal Trigger Event” and each such Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related REO Mortgage Loan that is the subject of an Appraisal Trigger Event, until it ceases to be such in accordance with the following paragraph, a “Required Appraisal Loan”), the Special Servicer shall obtain an Appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property, unless an Appraisal thereof had previously been received (or, if applicable, conducted) within the prior nine (9) months and the Special Servicer has no knowledge of changed circumstances that in the Special Servicer’s reasonable judgment would materially affect the value of the Mortgaged Property. If such Appraisal is obtained from a Qualified Appraiser, the cost thereof shall be covered by, and be reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance, such Advance to be made at the direction of the Special Servicer when the Appraisal is received by the Special Servicer. Promptly following the receipt of, and based upon, such Appraisal and receipt of information requested by the Special Servicer from the Master Servicer pursuant to the last paragraph of this Section 3.19(a), the Special Servicer, in consultation with (i) the Subordinate Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period and other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan) or (ii) one or more of the Subordinate Class Representative (other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan) and the Trust Advisor, under the procedures set forth in Sections 3.28(d) and 3.28(e) (during any Collective Consultation Period or Senior Consultation Period), shall determine and report to the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Master Servicer the then-applicable Appraisal Reduction Amount, if any, with respect to the subject Required Appraisal Loan. For purposes of this Section 3.19(a), an Appraisal may, in the case of any Serviced Mortgage Loan with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of less than $2,000,000 only, consist solely of an internal valuation performed by the Special Servicer. In connection with a Mortgaged Property related to any Serviced Loan Combination, the Special Servicer shall also determine and report to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Subordinate Class Representative (other than with respect to any Serviced Loan Combination that is a related Excluded Loan), any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) and the related Other Master Servicer the Appraisal Reduction Amount, if any, with respect to the entire such Serviced Loan Combination (calculated, for purposes of this sentence, as if it were a single Mortgage Loan).

 

A Serviced Mortgage Loan shall cease to be a Required Appraisal Loan if and when, following the occurrence of the most recent Appraisal Trigger Event, any and all Servicing Transfer Events with respect to such Mortgage Loan have ceased to exist and no other Appraisal Trigger Event has occurred with respect thereto during the preceding ninety (90) days.

 

For so long as any Serviced Mortgage Loan or related REO Mortgage Loan remains a Required Appraisal Loan, the Special Servicer shall, every nine (9) months after such Mortgage Loan becomes a Required Appraisal Loan, obtain (or, if such Required Appraisal Loan has a Stated Principal Balance of less than $2,000,000, at the Special Servicer’s option, conduct) an update of the prior Appraisal. If such update is obtained from a Qualified Appraiser, the cost thereof shall be covered by, and be reimbursable as, a Servicing Advance, such Advance to be made at the direction of the Special Servicer when the Appraisal is received by the Special Servicer. Promptly following the receipt of, and based upon, such update, the Special Servicer shall redetermine, in consultation with (i) the Subordinate Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period and other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan) or (ii) one

 

240
 

 

 

or more of the Subordinate Class Representative (other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan) and the Trust Advisor, under the procedures set forth in Sections 3.28(d) and 3.28(e) (during any Collective Consultation Period or Senior Consultation Period), and report to the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Master Servicer, the then-applicable Appraisal Reduction Amount, if any, with respect to the subject Required Appraisal Loan. In connection with a Mortgaged Property related to any Serviced Loan Combination, promptly following the receipt of, and based upon, such update, the Special Servicer shall also redetermine, and report to the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Subordinate Class Representative (other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan) and related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) the Appraisal Reduction Amount, if any, with respect to the entire such Serviced Loan Combination (calculated, for purposes of this sentence, as if it were a single Mortgage Loan).

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to the final paragraph of this Section 3.19(a), solely for purposes of determining whether a Subordinate Control Period is in effect (and the identity of the Subordinate Class), whenever the Special Servicer is required to obtain an Appraisal or updated Appraisal under this Agreement, the Subordinate Class Representative shall have the right, exercisable within ten (10) Business Days after the Special Servicer’s report of the resulting Appraisal Reduction Amount, to direct the Special Servicer to hire a Qualified Appraiser reasonably satisfactory to the Subordinate Class Representative to prepare a second Appraisal of the Mortgaged Property at the expense of the Subordinate Class Representative. The Special Servicer must use reasonable efforts to cause the delivery of such second Appraisal (in the case of any such second Appraisal in respect to a related Excluded Loan, to only the Special Servicer) within thirty (30) days following the direction of the Subordinate Class Representative. Within ten (10) Business Days following its receipt of such second Appraisal, the Special Servicer shall determine, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, whether, based on its assessment of such second Appraisal and receipt of information requested from the Master Servicer reasonably required to perform such recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount, any recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount is warranted and, if so, the Special Servicer shall recalculate the applicable Appraisal Reduction Amount on the basis of such second Appraisal and receipt of information requested by the Special Servicer from the Master Servicer pursuant to the last paragraph of this Section 3.19(a). Solely for purposes of determining whether a Subordinate Control Period is in effect and the identity of the Subordinate Class:

 

(i)      the first Appraisal shall be disregarded and have no force or effect, and, if an Appraisal Reduction Amount is already then in effect, the Appraisal Reduction Amount for the related Mortgage Loan shall be calculated on the basis of the most recent prior Appraisal or updated Appraisal obtained under this Agreement (or, if no such Appraisal exists, there shall be no Appraisal Reduction Amount for purposes of determining whether a Subordinate Control Period is in effect and the identity of the Subordinate Class) unless and until (a) the Subordinate Class Representative fails to exercise its right to direct the Special Servicer to obtain a second Appraisal within the exercise period described above or (b) if the Subordinate Class Representative exercises its right to direct the Special Servicer to obtain a second Appraisal, and such second Appraisal is not received by the Special Servicer (using efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to obtain such Appraisal), ninety (90) days following such direction,

 

241
 

 

whichever occurs earlier (and, in such event, an Appraisal Reduction Amount calculated on the basis of such first Appraisal, if any, shall be effective); and

 

(ii)     if the Subordinate Class Representative exercises its right to direct the Special Servicer to obtain a second Appraisal and such second Appraisal is received by the Special Servicer within ninety (90) days following such direction, the Appraisal Reduction Amount (if any), calculated on the basis of the second Appraisal (if the Special Servicer determines that a recalculation was warranted as described above) or (otherwise) on the basis of the first Appraisal shall be effective.

 

In addition, if there is a material change with respect to any of the Mortgaged Properties related to a Serviced Mortgage Loan with respect to which an Appraisal Reduction Amount has been calculated, then (i) during any Subordinate Control Period, the Holder (or group of Holders) of Certificates representing a majority of the aggregate Voting Rights of the Classes of Principal Balance Certificates reduced by Appraisal Reduction Amounts allocated thereto to less than 25% of the initial Class Principal Balance of each such Class and (ii) during any Collective Consultation Period, the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder, shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to present to the Special Servicer an additional Appraisal prepared by a Qualified Appraiser on an “as-is” basis and acceptable to the Special Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard. Subject to the Special Servicer’s confirmation, determined in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that there has been a change with respect to the related Mortgaged Property and such change was material, the Special Servicer shall recalculate such Appraisal Reduction Amount based upon such additional Appraisal and updated information. If required by any such recalculation, any applicable Class of Principal Balance Certificates notionally reduced by any Appraisal Reduction Amounts allocated to such Class shall have its related Certificate Principal Balance notionally restored to the extent required by such recalculation, and there shall be a redetermination of whether a Subordinate Control Period or a Collective Consultation Period is then in effect. With respect to each Class of Control-Eligible Certificates, the right to present the Special Servicer with any such additional Appraisals as provided above is limited to no more frequently than once in any 12-month period for each Serviced Mortgage Loan with respect to which an Appraisal Reduction Amount has been calculated.

 

With respect to any Appraisal Reduction Amount calculated for the purposes of determining the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder, the existence of a Subordinate Control Period, Collective Consultation Period or Senior Consultation Period and, if applicable, the allocation of Voting Rights among the respective Classes of Principal Balance Certificates, (i) the Appraised Value of the related Mortgaged Property used to calculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount shall be determined on an “as-is” basis and (ii) the Appraisal Reduction Amount so calculated shall be notionally allocable between the respective Classes of Principal Balance Certificates in reverse order of their alphanumeric designations (in each case until the Certificate Principal Balance thereof is notionally reduced to zero) and the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4 and Class A-SB Certificates shall be treated as a single Class in such notional allocation; provided, however, that for the purposes of such allocation, Appraisal Reduction Amounts shall be allocated to the respective Class PEX Components rather than to the Class PEX Certificates, and for the purposes of such allocation (A) the Class A-S Certificates

 

242
 

 

and the Class A-S-PEX Component shall be considered as if they together constitute a single “Class” with an alphanumeric designation of “A-S”, (B) the Class B Certificates and the Class B-PEX Component shall be considered as if they together constitute a single “Class” with an alphanumeric designation of “B”, and (C) the Class C Certificates and the Class C-PEX Component shall be considered as if they together constitute as single “Class” with an alphanumeric designation of “C”.

 

The Master Servicer shall deliver by electronic mail to the Special Servicer any information in the Master Servicer’s possession that is reasonably required to determine, calculate, redetermine or recalculate any Appraisal Reduction Amount or updated Appraisal Reduction Amount pursuant to the definition thereof, using reasonable best efforts to deliver such information, within four (4) Business Days following the Special Servicer’s request therefor (which request shall be made promptly, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days, after the Special Servicer’s receipt of the applicable Appraisal or preparation of the applicable internal valuation); provided, the Special Servicer’s failure to timely make such request shall not relieve the Master Servicer of its obligation to provide such information to the Special Servicer in the manner and timing set forth in this sentence.

 

(b)     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any other Section of this Agreement, the Special Servicer shall notify the Master Servicer whenever a Servicing Advance is required to be made with respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or Administered REO Property, and, the Master Servicer shall (subject to Section 3.11(h)) make such Servicing Advance; provided that the Special Servicer shall either (i) make any Servicing Advance (other than a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance) on a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or Administered REO Property that constitutes an Emergency Advance or (ii) notify the Master Servicer no later than one (1) Business Day after the Special Servicer acquires actual knowledge of the need for such Emergency Advance on a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or Administered REO Property and request the Master Servicer to make such Emergency Advance. Each such notice and request shall be made, in writing, not less than five (5) Business Days or, in the case of an Emergency Advance, not later than two (2) Business Days (provided the request sets forth the nature of the emergency), in advance of the date on which the subject Servicing Advance is to be made and shall be accompanied by such information and documentation regarding the subject Servicing Advance as the Master Servicer may reasonably request; provided that the Special Servicer shall not be entitled to make such a request more frequently than once per calendar month with respect to Servicing Advances other than Emergency Advances (although such request may relate to more than one Servicing Advance). The Master Servicer shall have the obligation to make any such Servicing Advance (other than a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance) that it is so requested by the Special Servicer to make (as described above) not later than the date on which the subject Servicing Advance is to be made, but in no event shall it be required to make any Servicing Advance on a date that is earlier than five (5) Business Days or, in the case of an Emergency Advance, on a date that is earlier than two (2) Business Days, following the Master Servicer’s receipt of such request. If the request is timely and properly made, the requesting Special Servicer shall be relieved of any obligations with respect to a Servicing Advance that it so requests the Master Servicer to make with respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or Administered REO Property (regardless of whether or not the Master Servicer shall make such Servicing Advance). The Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement for any Servicing Advance made by it at the direction of the Special

 

243
 

 

Servicer, together with Advance Interest in accordance with Sections 3.05(a) and 3.11(g), at the same time, in the same manner and to the same extent as the Master Servicer is entitled with respect to any other Servicing Advances made thereby. Any request by the Special Servicer that the Master Servicer make a Servicing Advance shall be deemed to be a determination by the Special Servicer that such Servicing Advance is not a Nonrecoverable Advance, on which deemed determination the Master Servicer is entitled to rely. The preceding statement shall not be construed to limit the right of the Special Servicer under Section 3.11(i) with respect to the payment of any servicing expense that, if advanced, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. If the Special Servicer makes an Emergency Advance, the Master Servicer shall reimburse the Special Servicer for such Emergency Advance (with Advance Interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate) within five (5) Business Days following the Special Servicer’s request for reimbursement (which request shall be accompanied by such information and documentation regarding the subject Emergency Advance as the Master Servicer may reasonably request), upon which reimbursement the Master Servicer will be deemed to have made such Emergency Advance when the Special Servicer made such Emergency Advance.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.19(b), the Master Servicer shall not be required to reimburse the Special Servicer for, or to make at the direction of the Special Servicer, any Servicing Advance if the Master Servicer determines in its reasonable judgment that such Servicing Advance, although not characterized by the Special Servicer as a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, is in fact a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance. The Master Servicer shall notify the Special Servicer in writing of such determination and, if applicable, such Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance shall be reimbursed to the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.05(a).

 

(c)     The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Certificate Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account by 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Master Servicer Remittance Date, without any right of reimbursement therefor, a cash payment (a “Compensating Interest Payment”) in an 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 Serviced Mortgage Loans (other than Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and Serviced Mortgage Loans on which the Special Servicer allowed or consented to the Master Servicer allowing a Principal Prepayment on such Serviced Mortgage Loan on a date other than the applicable Due Date) during the related Collection Period, and (ii) the aggregate of (A) that portion of its Master Servicing Fees earned by the Master Servicer for the related Distribution Date that is, in the case of each and every Serviced Mortgage Loan and REO Mortgage Loan for which such Master Servicing Fees are being paid in the related Collection Period, calculated for this purpose at one-quarter of a basis point (0.0025%) per annum, and (B) all Prepayment Interest Excesses received by the Master Servicer during the related Collection Period; provided that the Master Servicer shall pay (without regard to clause (ii) above) the amount of any Prepayment Interest Shortfall otherwise described in clause (i) above incurred in connection with any Principal Prepayment received in respect of a Serviced Mortgage Loan during the related Collection Period to the extent such Prepayment Interest Shortfall occurs as a result of the Master Servicer allowing the related Borrower to deviate from the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents regarding Principal Prepayments (other than (w) subsequent to a default under the related Mortgage Loan Documents, (x) pursuant to applicable law or a court order (including in connection with amounts collected as Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds to the

 

244
 

 

extent that such applicable law or court order limits the ability of the Master Servicer to apply the proceeds in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan Documents), (y) at the request or with the consent of the Special Servicer, or (z) during any Subordinate Control Period or Collective Consultation Period, at the request or with the consent of the Subordinate Class Representative (other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan)).

 

The rights of the Certificateholders to offsets of any Prepayment Interest Shortfalls shall not be cumulative from Collection Period to Collection Period.

 

(d)     Subject to the consent rights and process set forth in Section 3.24(c) with respect to Material Actions, the Master Servicer shall process all defeasances of Mortgage Loans (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loans in accordance with the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents, and shall be entitled to any defeasance fees paid relating thereto (provided, that for the avoidance of doubt, any such defeasance fee shall not include any Modification Fees in connection with a defeasance that the Special Servicer is entitled to under this Agreement). With respect to each Serviced Mortgage Loan that is to be defeased in accordance with its terms, the Master Servicer shall execute and deliver to each Rating Agency (subject to Section 3.27) a certification substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit N and, further, shall, to the extent permitted by the terms of such Mortgage Loan, require the related Borrower (i) to provide replacement collateral consisting of U.S. government securities within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act in an amount sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the subject Serviced Mortgage Loan (or defeased portion thereof) when due (and assuming, in the case of an ARD Mortgage Loan, to the extent consistent with the related Mortgage Loan Documents, that the subject ARD Mortgage Loan matures on its Anticipated Repayment Date), (ii) to deliver a certificate from an independent certified public accounting firm certifying that the replacement collateral is sufficient to make such payments, (iii) at the option of the Master Servicer, to designate a single purpose entity (which may be (but is not required to be) a subsidiary of the Master Servicer established for the purpose of assuming all defeased Serviced Mortgage Loans) to assume the subject Serviced Mortgage Loan (or defeased portion thereof) and own the defeasance collateral, (iv) to implement such defeasance only after the second anniversary of the Closing Date, (v) to provide an Opinion of Counsel that the Trustee has a perfected, first priority security interest in the new collateral, and (vi) in the case of a partial defeasance of the subject Serviced Mortgage Loan, to defease a principal amount equal to at least 125% of the allocated loan amount for the Mortgaged Property or Properties to be released; provided that, if (A) the subject Serviced Mortgage Loan has a Cut-off Date Principal Balance greater than or equal to $35,000,000 or an outstanding principal balance greater than or equal to 2% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Pool or is one of the ten largest Mortgage Loans then in the Trust Fund, (B) the terms of the subject Serviced Mortgage Loan do not permit the Master Servicer to impose the foregoing requirements and the Master Servicer does not satisfy such requirements on its own or (C) the Master Servicer is unable to execute and deliver the certification attached hereto as Exhibit N in connection with the subject defeasance, then the Master Servicer shall so notify the Rating Agencies (subject to Section 3.27), the Subordinate Class Representative and the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder and, if any Mortgage Loan in a Serviced Loan Combination is involved, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) and, so long as such a requirement would not violate applicable law or the Servicing Standard, obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation (subject to Section 3.27) with respect to such defeasance. Subject

 

245
 

 

to the related Mortgage Loan Documents and applicable law, the Master Servicer shall not permit a defeasance unless (i) the subject Serviced Mortgage Loan requires the Borrower to pay (or the Borrower in fact pays) all Rating Agency fees associated with defeasance (if a Rating Agency Confirmation is a specific condition precedent thereto) and all expenses associated with defeasance or other arrangements for payment of such costs are made at no expense to the Trust Fund or the Master Servicer (provided that in no event shall such proposed other arrangements result in any liability to the Trust Fund including any indemnification of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer which may result in legal expenses to the Trust Fund), and (ii) the Borrower is required to provide all Opinions of Counsel, including Opinions of Counsel that the defeasance will not cause an Adverse REMIC Event or an Adverse Grantor Trust Event and that the related Mortgage Loan Documents are fully enforceable in accordance with their terms (subject to bankruptcy, insolvency and similar standard exceptions), and any applicable Rating Agency Confirmations.

 

(e)     In connection with the Serviced Mortgage Loans or any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan for which the related Borrower was required to escrow funds or post a Letter of Credit related to obtaining performance objectives, such as targeted debt service coverage levels or leasing criteria with respect to the Mortgaged Property as a whole or particular portions thereof, if the mortgagee has the discretion to retain the cash or Letter of Credit (or the proceeds of such Letters of Credit) as additional collateral if the relevant conditions to release are not satisfied, then the Master Servicer shall hold such escrows or Letters of Credit (or the proceeds of such Letters of Credit) as additional collateral and not use such funds to reduce the principal balance of the related Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan (to the extent the related Mortgage Loan Documents allow such action), unless holding such funds would otherwise be inconsistent with the Servicing Standard.

 

Section 3.20     Modifications, Waivers, Amendments and Consents. (a) The Special Servicer (in the case of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan) or the Master Servicer (in the case of a Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan or Performing Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) may (consistent with the Servicing Standard) agree to any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of, extend the maturity of, defer or forgive interest (including Default Interest) on and principal of, defer or forgive late payment charges, Prepayment Premiums and Yield Maintenance Charges on, permit the release, addition or substitution of collateral securing, and/or permit the release, addition or substitution of the Borrower on or any guarantor of, any Serviced Mortgage Loan for which it is responsible, and respond to or approve Borrower requests for consent on the part of the mortgagee (including the lease reviews and lease consents related thereto), subject, however, to Sections 3.08, 3.24, 3.26, and/or 3.28, as applicable, and, in the case of each Mortgage Loan in a Serviced Loan Combination, to the rights of third parties set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement, and, further to each of the following limitations, conditions and restrictions:

 

(i)     other than as expressly set forth in Section 3.02 (with respect to Default Charges and Post-ARD Additional Interest), Section 3.07 (insurance), Section 3.08 (with respect to due-on-sale and due-on-encumbrance clauses and transfers of interests in Borrowers), Section 3.19(d) (with respect to defeasances), and Section 3.20(f) (with respect to various routine matters), the Master Servicer shall not agree to or consent to a request for any modification, waiver or

 

246
 

 

amendment of any term of, or take any of the other acts referenced in this Section 3.20(a) with respect to, any Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, that would (x) affect the amount or timing of any related payment of principal, interest or other amount payable under such Mortgage Loan, (y) materially and adversely affect the security for such Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, or (z) constitute a Material Action (including any Material Action in connection with a defeasance), unless (solely in the case of a Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan or Performing Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) the Master Servicer has obtained the consent of the Special Servicer (it being understood and agreed that (A) the Master Servicer shall promptly provide the Special Servicer with (x) written notice of any Borrower request for such modification, waiver or amendment, (y) the Master Servicer’s written recommendations and analysis, and (z) all information reasonably available to the Master Servicer that the Special Servicer may reasonably request in order to withhold or grant any such consent, (B) the Special Servicer shall decide whether to withhold or grant such consent in accordance with the Servicing Standard (and subject to Sections 3.24 and/or 3.26, as applicable), and (C) any such consent shall be deemed to have been granted if such consent has not been expressly denied within (x), for consents other than on a Serviced Loan Combination, fifteen (15) Business Days (or in connection with an Acceptable Insurance Default, ninety (90) days) of the Special Servicer’s receipt from the Master Servicer of the Master Servicer’s written recommendations and analysis and all information reasonably requested thereby and reasonably available to the Master Servicer in order to make an informed decision and (y), for consents on a Serviced Loan Combination, ten (10) Business Days (or, in connection with an Acceptable Insurance Default with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination, thirty (30) days) after the time period provided in the related Intercreditor Agreement (provided that such time period shall be deemed to have commenced upon the Special Servicer’s receipt from the Master Servicer of the Master Servicer’s written recommendations and analysis and all information reasonably requested thereby and reasonably available to the Master Servicer in order to make an informed decision). If consent to a matter processed by the Master Servicer and for which the Master Servicer is required to obtain the consent of the Special Servicer pursuant to this clause (i) is granted or deemed to have been granted by the Special Servicer, then the Master Servicer will be responsible for entering into the relevant documentation;

 

(ii)     other than as provided in Sections 3.02, 3.08, and 3.20(e), the Special Servicer shall not agree to (or, in the case of a Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan or Performing Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, consent to the Master Servicer’s agreeing to) any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of, or take (or, in the case of a Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan or Performing Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, consent to the Master Servicer’s taking) any of the other acts referenced in this Section 3.20(a) with respect to, any Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan that would affect the amount or timing of any related payment of principal, interest or other amount payable thereunder or, in the reasonable judgment of the

 

247
 

 

Special Servicer, would materially impair the security for such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, unless a material default on such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan has occurred or, in the reasonable judgment of the Special Servicer, a default with respect to payment on such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan at maturity or on an earlier date is reasonably foreseeable, or the Special Servicer reasonably believes that there is a significant risk of such a default, and, in either case, such modification, waiver, amendment or other action is reasonably likely to produce an equal or a greater recovery to Certificateholders (and, in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s)), as a collective whole, on a present value basis (the relevant discounting of anticipated collections that will be distributable to Certificateholders (and, in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s)) to be done at a rate determined by the Special Servicer but in no event less than the related Net Mortgage Rate (or, in the case of an ARD Mortgage Loan after its Anticipated Repayment Date, at the related Net Mortgage Rate immediately prior to the Anticipated Repayment Date), than would liquidation; provided that (A) any modification, extension, waiver or amendment of the payment terms of any related Serviced Loan Combination shall be structured in a manner so as to be consistent with the allocation and payment priorities set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Documents, including the related Intercreditor Agreement, it being the intention that neither the Trust as holder of the related Mortgage Loan nor any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder shall gain a priority over any other with respect to any payment, which priority is not, as of the date of the related Intercreditor Agreement, reflected in the related Mortgage Loan Documents, including the related Intercreditor Agreement; and (B) to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard, no waiver, reduction or deferral of any particular amounts due on the related Mortgage Loan shall be effected prior to the waiver, reduction or deferral of the entire corresponding item in respect of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan;

 

(iii)     neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall extend the date on which any Balloon Payment is scheduled to be due on any Mortgage Loan to a date beyond the earlier of (A) five years prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date and (B) if such Mortgage Loan is secured by a Mortgage solely or primarily on the related Borrower’s leasehold interest in the related Mortgaged Property, 20 years (or, to the extent consistent with the Servicing Standard, giving due consideration to the remaining term of the related Ground Lease or Space Lease, ten years) prior to the end of the then-current term of the related Ground Lease or Space Lease (plus any unilateral options to extend);

 

(iv)     neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall make or permit any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of, or take any of the other acts referenced in this Section 3.20(a) with respect to, any Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination that would result in an Adverse REMIC Event with respect to any REMIC Pool or an Adverse Grantor Trust Event with respect with to the Grantor Trust Pool (the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall

(c)     Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer may, as a condition to its granting any request by a Borrower under a Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan for consent, modification, waiver or indulgence or any other matter or thing, the granting of which is within the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as the case may be, discretion pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents and is permitted by the terms of this Agreement, require that such Borrower pay to it a reasonable or customary fee for the additional services performed in connection with such request, together with any related costs and expenses incurred by it; provided that (A) the charging of such fees would not otherwise constitute a “significant modification” of the subject Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b); (B) the right of the Special Servicer shall be limited as set forth in the definition of “Modification Fees”; and (C) in connection with any request by the Borrower for a modification, waiver or amendment of any provision of the Mortgage Loan Documents that is made to correct any manifest, typographical or grammatical errors therein or to correct or supplement any inconsistent or defective provisions therein, and such modification, waiver or amendment does not affect any economic term of the Mortgage Loan or is otherwise immaterial, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be permitted to require that the Borrower pay any costs and expenses incurred by it and a nominal processing fee for the services performed in connection with such request.

The Master Servicer shall prepare all documents necessary and appropriate to effect any such waiver and shall coordinate with the related Borrower for the execution and delivery of such documents. The Master Servicer shall not be required to seek the consent of, or provide prior notice to, the Special Servicer, any Certificateholder or obtain any Rating Agency Confirmation in connection with such a waiver.

(i)     waivers of minor covenant defaults (other than financial covenants), including late financial statements;

Mortgage Loan Documents expressly require the mortgagee thereunder to make such releases upon the satisfaction of certain conditions (and the conditions to the release that are set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Documents do not include the approval of the lender or the exercise of lender discretion (other than confirming the satisfaction of the other conditions to the release set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Documents that do not include any other approval or exercise)) and such release is made as required by the related Mortgage Loan Documents or (B) 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);

 

(iii)     grants of easements or rights of way that do not materially affect the use or value of a Mortgaged Property or the Borrower’s ability to make any payments with respect to the related Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan;

 

(iv)     granting other routine approvals, including the granting of subordination and nondisturbance and attornment agreements and consents involving routine leasing activities that (1) do not involve a ground lease or lease of an outparcel and (2) affect an area less than the lesser of (or, in the case of any Mortgage Loan primary serviced by Prudential Asset Resources, Inc. or any successor or assign, the greater of) (a) 30% of the net rentable area of the improvements at the Mortgaged Property and (b) 30,000 square feet of the improvements at the Mortgaged Property (but, the Master Servicer shall (other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan) deliver to the Subordinate Class Representative and the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder copies of any such approvals granted by the Master Servicer and any other leasing matters shall be subject to the operation of Section 3.20(a) and Section 3.24(c));

 

(v)     approvals of annual budgets to operate a Mortgaged Property, other than a budget with (1) a material (more than 15%) increase in operating expenses or (2) payments to entities actually known by the Master Servicer to be affiliates of the related Borrower (excluding payments to affiliated entities agreed to at the origination of the related Mortgage Loan or previously agreed by the Special Servicer);

253
 

 

(vii)     any releases or reductions of or withdrawals from (as applicable) any Letters of Credit, Reserve Funds or other Additional Collateral with respect to any Mortgaged Property securing a Mortgage Loan where the release or reduction of or withdrawal from (as applicable) the applicable Letter of Credit, Reserve Funds or Additional Collateral is not conditioned on obtaining the consent of the lender and the conditions to the release, reduction or withdrawal (as applicable) that are set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Documents do not include the approval of the lender or exercise of lender discretion (other than confirming the satisfaction of the other conditions to the transaction set forth in the related Mortgage Loan Documents that do not include any other approval or exercise); or

provided that such modification, waiver, consent or amendment (A) would not constitute a “significant modification” of the subject Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b), would not cause any Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination to cease to be treated as “principally secured by real property” and would not otherwise constitute an Adverse REMIC Event with respect to REMIC I, REMIC II or REMIC III or constitute an Adverse Grantor Trust Event with respect to the Grantor Trust Pool, and (B) would be consistent with the Servicing Standard.

 

(g)     If and to the extent that the Trust, as holder of a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan, is entitled to consent to or approve any modification, waiver or amendment of such Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer shall be responsible for responding to any request for such consent or approval in accordance with the Servicing Standard, and subject to Section 3.01(g), subject to the same conditions and/or restrictions, as if such Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan was a Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan. Insofar as any other Person would have consent rights hereunder with respect to a similar modification, waiver or amendment of a Mortgage Loan that is a Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan, such Person shall likewise have the same consent rights, subject to the same conditions and/or restrictions, with respect to such modification, waiver or amendment of such Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan.

 

(h)     The Master Servicer shall, as to each Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination that is secured by an interest listed on the Mortgage Loan Schedule as a leasehold interest, in accordance with the related Mortgage Loan Documents, promptly (and, in any event, within forty-five (45) days) after the Closing Date (or, if later, ten (10) Business Days after its receipt of a copy of the related Ground Lease or Space Lease) notify the related lessor of the transfer of such Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination to the Trust pursuant to this Agreement and inform such ground lessor that any notices of default under the related Ground Lease or Space Lease should thereafter be forwarded to the Master Servicer.

(i)     In connection with (i) the release of any portion of a Mortgaged Property from the lien of the related Serviced Mortgage Loan or (ii) the taking of any portion of a Mortgaged Property securing a Serviced Mortgage Loan by exercise of the power of eminent domain or condemnation, if the Mortgage Loan Documents require the Master Servicer or the 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 the fair market value of the real property constituting the remaining Mortgaged Property, for purposes of REMIC qualification of the related Serviced Mortgage Loan, then such calculation shall include only the value of the real property constituting the remaining Mortgaged Property.

The Master Servicer shall use its best reasonable efforts to comply with the preceding two sentences within five (5) Business Days of the occurrence of each related Servicing Transfer Event.

 

Upon determining that a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan has become a Corrected Mortgage Loan and if the Master Servicer is not also the Special Servicer, the Special Servicer shall immediately give notice thereof to the Master Servicer, the Trust Advisor, the Trustee, the Subordinate Class Representative (other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan) and the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder (other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan) (and to the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s)) and shall return the related Servicing File within five (5) Business Days to the Master Servicer. Upon giving such notice and returning such Servicing File to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer’s obligation to service such Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination and the Special Servicer’s right to receive the Special Servicing Fee with respect to such Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, shall terminate, and the obligations of the Master Servicer to service and administer such Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination shall resume.

 

255
 

 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in connection with the transfer to the Special Servicer of the servicing of a Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loan as a result of a Servicing Transfer Event or the re-assumption of servicing responsibilities by the Master Servicer with respect to any such Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loan upon its becoming a Corrected Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each transfer to the other, as and when applicable, the servicing of all other Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loans constituting part of the same Cross-Collateralized Group; provided that no Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loan may become a Corrected Mortgage Loan at any time that a continuing Servicing Transfer Event exists with respect to another Cross-Collateralized Mortgage Loan in the same Cross-Collateralized Group.

 

(b)     In servicing any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall provide to the Custodian originals of documents contemplated by the definition of “Mortgage File” and generated while the subject Serviced Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, for inclusion in the related Mortgage File (with a copy of each such original to the Master Servicer), and copies of any additional related Mortgage Loan information, including correspondence with the related Borrower generated while the subject Serviced Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan.

(d)     In connection with the performance of its obligations hereunder with respect to any Serviced Mortgage Loan, Serviced Loan Combination or Administered REO Property, each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be entitled to rely upon written information provided to it by the other.

 

(e)     Subject to the provisions of the following sentence, until such time as a Serviced Mortgage Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, neither the Special Servicer nor any of its Affiliates shall contact the related Borrower or any key principal of such Borrower about such Serviced Mortgage Loan without the prior consent of the Master Servicer; provided that the Special Servicer or its Affiliates may conduct promotions which are directed generally to commercial mortgage loan borrowers, originators and mortgage brokers, including, without limitation, mass mailings based upon commercially acquired mailing lists or information generally available in the public domain, newspaper, radio, television or print advertisements, or take actions in connection with servicing the refinancing needs of a Borrower who, without such direct or indirect solicitation by the Special Servicer, contacts the Special Servicer with the purpose of refinancing such Serviced Mortgage Loan. The Special Servicer and its Affiliates shall not use any information obtained in its capacity as Special Servicer or, if applicable, as a Certificateholder, to solicit any Borrower or a key principal of such Borrower or any mortgage broker to permit the Special Servicer or any of its Affiliates to refinance a Serviced Mortgage Loan transferred to the Trust by a Mortgage Loan Seller that is not affiliated with the Special Servicer or such Certificateholder, including, without limitation, (i) the name, address, phone number or other information regarding such Borrower or a key principal of such Borrower, or

 

256
 

 

(ii) information related to the related Serviced Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Loan Combination, as applicable) or Mortgaged Property including, without limitation, the maturity date, the interest rate, the prepayment provisions, or any operating or other financial information; provided that such limitation on the solicitation of refinancing shall not prevent the Special Servicer from pursuing such refinancing for (y) any Serviced Mortgage Loan that is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, or (z) any Serviced Mortgage Loan (or Serviced Loan Combination, as applicable) that is within 180 days of its Stated Maturity Date (or if such Mortgage Loan is an ARD Mortgage Loan, its Anticipated Repayment Date) if, after written inquiry by the Special Servicer to the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer indicates that the Borrower has not obtained a written commitment for refinancing.

 

Section 3.22        Sub-Servicing Agreements. (a) Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer may enter into Sub-Servicing Agreements to provide for the performance by third parties of any or all of its respective obligations hereunder, provided that (A) in each case, the Sub-Servicing Agreement (as it may be amended or modified from time to time): (i) insofar as it affects the Trust, is consistent with this Agreement in all material respects; (ii) expressly or effectively provides that if the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall for any reason no longer act in such capacity hereunder (including, without limitation, by reason of a Servicer Termination Event), any successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder (including the Trustee if the Trustee has become such successor pursuant to Section 7.02) may thereupon either assume all of the rights and, except to the extent they arose prior to the date of assumption, obligations of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, under such agreement or, other than in the case of any Designated Sub-Servicing Agreement, terminate such rights and obligations without payment of any fee; (iii) prohibits the Sub-Servicer (other than a Designated Sub-Servicer) from modifying any Mortgage Loan or commencing any foreclosure or similar proceedings with respect to any Mortgaged Property without the consent of the Master Servicer and, further, prohibits the Sub-Servicer from taking any action that the Master Servicer would be prohibited from taking hereunder; (iv) if it is entered into by the Master Servicer, does not purport to delegate or effectively delegate to the related Sub-Servicer any of the rights or obligations of the Special Servicer with respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or otherwise; (v) provides that the Trustee, for the benefit of the Certificateholders (and, in the case of a Sub-Servicing Agreement related to a Serviced Loan Combination, also for the benefit of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s)), shall be a third party beneficiary under such agreement, but that (except to the extent the Trustee or its designee assumes the obligations of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, thereunder as contemplated by clause (A)(ii) above) none of the Trustee, any successor to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, or any Certificateholder (or, in the case of a Sub-Servicing Agreement related to a Serviced Loan Combination, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s)) shall have any duties under such agreement or any liabilities arising therefrom except as explicitly permitted by Section 3.22(k) below or otherwise herein; (vi) permits any purchaser of a Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Agreement to terminate such agreement with respect to such purchased Mortgage Loan without cause and without payment of any termination fee; (vii) does not permit the subject Sub-Servicer any rights of indemnification out of the Trust Fund except through the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 6.03; (viii) does not impose any liability or indemnification obligation whatsoever on the Trustee or the Certificateholders with respect to anything contained therein; (ix) provides that, following receipt of the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase

Such enforcement, including the legal prosecution of claims, termination of Sub-Servicing Agreements in accordance with their respective terms and the pursuit of other appropriate remedies, shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at such time as the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, in its reasonable judgment, would require were it the owner of the subject Mortgage Loans.

(f)     If the Trustee or its designee assumes the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer under any Sub-Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, at its expense shall, upon request of the Trustee, deliver to the assuming party all documents and records relating to such Sub-Servicing Agreement, and the Mortgage Loans then being serviced thereunder and an accounting of amounts collected and held on behalf of it thereunder, and otherwise use efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of the Sub-Servicing Agreement to the assuming party.

 

(g)     Notwithstanding any Sub-Servicing Agreement entered into by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each remain obligated and liable to the Trustee and the Certificateholders (and, in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s)) for the performance of their respective obligations and duties under this Agreement in accordance with the provisions hereof to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if it alone were servicing and administering the Mortgage Loans and/or REO Properties for which it is responsible. The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each pay the fees of any Sub-Servicer retained by it in accordance with the respective Sub-Servicing Agreement and, in any event, from its own funds (or from funds otherwise then payable to it hereunder).

 

(h)     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, any account established and maintained by a Sub-Servicer pursuant to a Sub-Servicing Agreement with the Master Servicer shall for all purposes under this Agreement be deemed to be an account established and maintained by the Master Servicer.

 

(i)     Notwithstanding any contrary provisions of the foregoing subsections of this Section 3.22, the appointment by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer of one or more third party contractors for the purpose of performing discrete, ministerial functions shall not constitute the appointment of Sub-Servicers and shall not be subject to the provisions of this Section 3.22; provided that (a) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall remain responsible for the actions of such third party contractors as if it were alone performing such functions and shall pay all fees and expenses of such third party contractors; (b) such appointment imposes no additional duty on any other party to this Agreement, any successor hereunder to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, or on the Trust; and

 

259
 

 

(c) the subject contractor (if it would be a Servicing Function Participant) is not a Prohibited Party at the time of such appointment unless (in the case of this clause (c)) the appointment of such contractor has been expressly approved by the Depositor acting in its reasonable discretion. The proviso to the preceding sentence shall not be construed to limit the right of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to be reimbursed for any cost or expense for which it is otherwise entitled to reimbursement under this Agreement.

 

(j)     The Special Servicer shall not enter into any Sub-Servicing Agreement unless the Subordinate Class Representative (other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan) has consented thereto (during any Subordinate Control Period) or such Sub-Servicing Agreement is required to be entered into in connection with a Serviced Loan Combination pursuant to the exercise by a related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder of its rights under Section 7.01(b) of this Agreement, and the execution and delivery of such Sub-Servicing Agreement is the subject of a Rating Agency Confirmation.

 

(k)     Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement to the contrary, immediately upon the effectiveness of any resignation or termination of the Master Servicer under this Agreement or any other transaction in which a Person becomes the Master Servicer hereunder, the successor Master Servicer (including, without limitation, the Trustee if it assumes the servicing obligations of the Master Servicer) shall be deemed to automatically have assumed and agreed to the terms and provisions of each Designated Sub-Servicing Agreement without any further action. No Designated Sub-Servicing Agreement shall be deemed to be inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement solely as a result of its recognition of the provisions, or its inclusion of provisions to the effect, set forth in the preceding sentence. If a task, right or obligation of the Master Servicer is delegated to a Designated Sub-Servicer under a Designated Sub-Servicing Agreement, and such task, right or obligation involves or requires the consent of the Special Servicer, then the Special Servicer shall accept the performance of such task, right or obligation by the Designated Sub-Servicer only in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including without limitation any time periods for consent or deemed consent to be observed by the Special Servicer) as if the Master Servicer were performing it. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the Special Servicer is neither a party to any Designated Sub-Servicing Agreement, nor is it bound by any provision of any Designated Sub-Servicing Agreement. The Special Servicer hereby acknowledges the delegation of rights and duties hereunder by the Master Servicer pursuant to the provisions of each Designated Sub-Servicing Agreement. Nothing in this Section 3.22(k) shall affect the Master Servicer’s obligations under this Section 3.22 to monitor the performance and enforce the obligations of a Designated Sub-Servicer under the related Designated Sub-Servicing Agreement, imposes any additional liability on the Special Servicer for the actions or inactions of a Designated Sub-Servicer or imposes on the Special Servicer any obligation to monitor the performance and enforce the obligations of the Designated Sub-Servicer under the related Designated Sub-Servicing Agreement. Each Designated Sub-Servicer shall be a third party beneficiary of this subsection (k). In no event shall this subsection (k) be construed to impose liability on the Trust Fund or the Special Servicer for the failure of the Master Servicer, or any successor Master Servicer, to perform its duties under any Designated Sub-Servicing Agreement.

Section 3.23        Subordinate Class Representative. (a) The Majority Subordinate Certificateholder shall have a continuing right, subject to and in accordance with this Section 3.23, to appoint a representative (the “Subordinate Class Representative”) having the rights and powers specified in this Agreement (including those specified in Section 3.24)¸ and/or remove or replace any existing Subordinate Class Representative, by delivering notice to the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, and, in the case of a removal or replacement of a Subordinate Class Representative, the then existing Subordinate Class Representative; provided that Eightfold Real Estate Capital, L.P. shall be the Initial Subordinate Class Representative. Such continuing right of the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder shall be exercisable in its sole discretion and at any time and from time to time, subject to subsection (b) below. If at any time the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder has not appointed a Subordinate Class Representative pursuant to this Section 3.23 or a Subordinate Class Representative has resigned or has been removed without the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder having appointed a successor Subordinate Class Representative, then the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder shall be deemed to be the Subordinate Class Representative; provided that this provision shall not apply in the event the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder has expressly waived its right to act as or appoint a Subordinate Class Representative and to exercise any of the rights of the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder.

 

(b)     No appointment of any Person as a Subordinate Class Representative shall be effective until such Person provides the Certificate Administrator with (i) written confirmation of its acceptance of such appointment, (ii) written confirmation of its agreement to keep confidential information confidential in accordance with the provisions set forth in Exhibit K-4, (iii) an address and facsimile number for the delivery of notices and other correspondence and (iv) a list of officers or employees of such Person with whom the parties to this Agreement may deal (including their names, titles, work addresses and facsimile numbers).

 

(c)     Within five (5) Business Days of the Certificate Administrator’s receipt of notice of any appointment or replacement of a Subordinate Class Representative (other than the initial Subordinate Class Representative), the Certificate Administrator shall deliver to each of the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trust Advisor notice of the identity of such Subordinate Class Representative, including the name and address furnished to the Certificate Administrator under subsection (a) above. The Certificate Administrator shall also deliver such information to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer promptly upon request therefor by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be. With respect to such information, the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to conclusively rely on information provided to it under subsection (a) above, and the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall all be entitled to rely on such information provided by the Certificate Administrator with respect to any obligation or right hereunder that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may have to deliver information or otherwise communicate with the Subordinate Class Representative. In addition to the foregoing, within five (5) Business Days of its receipt of notice of the resignation or removal of a Subordinate Class Representative, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the other parties to this Agreement of such event.

 

(d)     A Subordinate Class Representative may at any time resign as such by giving written notice to the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder, which shall thereupon give written

 

261
 

  

notice to the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer. The effectiveness of such resignation shall not be conditioned upon or subject to the prior appointment or approval of a successor to the resigning Subordinate Class Representative. In no event shall the failure of the Subordinate Class Representative or the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder to provide such notice prejudice or call into question the effectiveness of such resignation. The preceding statement shall not be construed to limit the effect of subsection (e) below.

 

(e)     Once a Subordinate Class Representative has been selected pursuant to this Section 3.23, each of the parties to this Agreement shall be entitled to rely on such selection unless the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder or such Subordinate Class Representative, as applicable, shall have notified the Certificate Administrator and each other party to this Agreement in writing, of the resignation or removal of such Subordinate Class Representative.

 

(f)     Any and all expenses of the Subordinate Class Representative shall be borne by the Holders (or, if applicable, the Certificate Owners) of Certificates of the Subordinate Class, pro rata according to their respective Percentage Interests in such Class, and not by the Trust. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a claim is made against the Subordinate Class Representative by a Borrower with respect to this Agreement or any particular Mortgage Loan, the Subordinate Class Representative shall immediately notify the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, whereupon (if the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Trust are also named parties to the same action and, in the sole judgment of the Special Servicer (i) the Subordinate Class Representative had acted in good faith, without negligence or willful misfeasance, with regard to the particular matter at issue, and (ii) there is no potential for the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Trust to be an adverse party in such action as regards the Subordinate Class Representative) the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust shall, subject to Section 6.03 and the consent of the Subordinate Class Representative, assume, at the expense of the Trust Fund, the defense of any such claim against the Subordinate Class Representative; provided that no judgment against the Subordinate Class Representative shall be payable out of the Trust Fund. This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the termination or resignation of any Subordinate Class Representative.

 

(g)     The Special Servicer may (other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan) share amounts payable to the Special Servicer as special servicing compensation with the Subordinate Class Representative as described in and to the extent as the Special Servicer and the Subordinate Class Representative may agree; provided, however, that the Special Servicer shall have no liability under this Agreement for sharing any special servicing compensation relating to an Excluded Loan if the Special Servicer has not received written notice as provided in Section 8.12(f).

 

(h)     In addition, upon request of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or Trust Advisor, as applicable, the Certificate Administrator shall reasonably promptly provide the name of the then-current Majority Subordinate Certificateholder and, if requested, a list of the Certificateholders (or a securities position listing from the Depository) of the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder to such requesting party (at the expense of the Trust Fund).

 

262
 

  

(i)     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, during such time as the Class E Certificates are the Subordinate Class, the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder may waive its rights to appoint a Subordinate Class Representative and to exercise any of the rights of the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder or to cause the exercise of the rights of the Subordinate Class Representative as set forth in this Agreement by irrevocable written notice delivered to the Depositor, Certificate Administrator, Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trust Advisor (any such Holder or group of affiliated Holders that makes such an election, the “Opting-Out Party”). Any such waiver shall remain effective with respect to such Holder and such Class until such time as the Opting-Out Party has sold or transferred, in the aggregate, a majority of the Class E Certificates to an unaffiliated third party or third parties (such sale or transfer, a “Class E Transfer”). Following any such Class E Transfer the successor Majority Subordinate Certificateholder shall again have the rights of the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder as set forth herein (including the rights to appoint a Subordinate Class Representative or cause the exercise of the rights of the Subordinate Class Representative) without regard to any prior waiver by the predecessor Majority Subordinate Certificateholder. The successor Majority Subordinate Certificateholder shall also have the right as provided in this Section 3.23(i) to irrevocably waive its rights to appoint a Subordinate Class Representative and to exercise any of the rights of the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder or to cause the exercise of the rights of the Subordinate Class Representative as set forth in this Agreement. No successor Majority Subordinate Certificateholder described above shall have any consent rights with respect to any Mortgage Loan that became a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan prior to the Transfer and had not also become a Corrected Mortgage Loan prior to such Transfer until such time as such Mortgage Loan becomes a Corrected Mortgage Loan.

 

(j)     In connection with its duties or exercise of its rights under this Agreement, if the Subordinate Class Representative is an Excluded Holder, the Subordinate Class Representative (i) shall not directly or indirectly provide any information related to the related Excluded Loan(s) to the related Borrower(s) or (A) any of the Subordinate Class Representative’s employees or personnel or any Affiliate involved in the management of any investment in the related Borrower or the related Mortgaged Property or (B) to its actual knowledge, any non-Affiliate that holds a direct or indirect ownership interest in the related Borrower, and (ii) shall maintain sufficient internal controls and appropriate policies and procedures in place in order to comply with the obligations described in clause (i) above. None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trust Advisor or the Trustee shall be liable for its dissemination of information in accordance with this Agreement or for the dissemination of information by others in violation of the terms of this Agreement. The Master Servicer, Special Servicer, Certificate Administrator, Trust Advisor and Trustee may rely on an investor certification in the form of Exhibit K-1B hereto from the Subordinate Class Representative or a Subordinate Class Certificateholder to the effect that such Person is not an Excluded Controlling Class Holder or in the form of Exhibit K-2B or Exhibit K-3A hereto from the Subordinate Class Representative or a Subordinate Class Certificateholder to the effect that such Person is an Excluded Controlling Class Holder with respect to one or more Excluded Controlling Class Loans.

 

(k)     Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, Certificate Administrator, Trustee and Trust Advisor shall be entitled to conclusively assume that the Subordinate Class Representative and all Subordinate Class Certificateholders are not Excluded Controlling Class Holders except to the extent that such Master Servicer,

 

263
 

 

Special Servicer, Certificate Administrator, Trustee or Trust Advisor, as applicable, has received notice from the Subordinate Class Representative or a Subordinate Class Certificateholder that it has become an Excluded Controlling Class Holder. None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Trust Advisor shall be liable for any communication to the Subordinate Class Representative or a Subordinate Class Certificateholder or disclosure of information relating to a related Excluded Controlling Class Loan if such Master Servicer, Special Servicer, Certificate Administrator, Trustee or Trust Advisor, as applicable, has not received prior written notice that the related Mortgage Loan is an Excluded Controlling Class Loan (including, in the case of any Excluded Information delivered to the Certificate Administrator for posting to the Certificate Administrator’s Website and/or any failure to label any such information provided to the Certificate Administrator). The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Trust Advisor shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any written notice from the Subordinate Class Representative or a Subordinate Class Certificateholder that it is no longer an Excluded Controlling Class Holder.

 

(l)     If the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder or Subordinate Class Representative is an Excluded Holder, then the Special Servicer shall have no obligation to obtain the consent of, or consult with, such Majority Subordinate Certificateholder or such Subordinate Class Representative at any time with respect to the related Excluded Loan.

 

Section 3.24        Asset Status Reports and Certain Rights and Powers of the Subordinate Class Representative. (a) No later than forty-five (45) days after a Servicing Transfer Event for a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer shall deliver in electronic format a report (the “Asset Status Report”) with respect to such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and the related Mortgaged Property to the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) (if any) (only to the extent such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder is expressly entitled to receive such Asset Status Report under the related Intercreditor Agreement and the subject of the Asset Status Report does not involve a sale or proposed sale of the Mortgage Loan, and provided that if such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan is included in an Other Securitization, such Asset Status Report shall be delivered to the related Other Master Servicer), the Subordinate Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period or Collective Consultation Period, and other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan as to which such Asset Status Report is Excluded Information), the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder (during any Subordinate Control Period or Collective Consultation Period and other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan as to which such Asset Status Report is Excluded Information), the Trust Advisor (during any Collective Consultation Period or Senior Consultation Period) and the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such report on the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 8.12(c)). Such Asset Status Report shall set forth the following information to the extent reasonably determinable:

 

(i)      a summary of the status of such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and any negotiations with the related Borrower;

 

(ii)     a discussion of the general legal and environmental considerations reasonably known to the Special Servicer (including without limitation by reason of any Phase I Environmental Assessment and any additional environmental

 

264
 

 

 

testing contemplated by Section 3.09(c)), consistent with the Servicing Standard, that are applicable to the exercise of remedies set forth herein and to the enforcement of any related guaranties or other collateral for the related Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and whether outside legal counsel has been retained;

 

(iii)     the most current rent roll and income or operating statement available for the related Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties;

 

(iv)     a summary of the Special Servicer’s recommended action with respect to such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan;

 

(v)     the Appraised Value of the related Mortgaged Property or Mortgaged Properties, together with the assumptions used in the calculation thereof (which the Special Servicer may satisfy by providing a copy of the most recently obtained Appraisal); and

 

(vi)     such other information as the Special Servicer deems relevant in light of the Servicing Standard.

 

During a Subordinate Control Period (other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan as to which such Asset Status Report is Excluded Information), if the Subordinate Class Representative does not disapprove an Asset Status Report within ten (10) Business Days (or, with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination, such longer period of time as may be set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement) of receipt, the Special Servicer shall implement the recommended action as outlined in the Asset Status Report. In addition, during a Subordinate Control Period (other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan as to which such Asset Status Report is Excluded Information), the Subordinate Class Representative may object to any Asset Status Report within ten (10) Business Days of receipt (or, with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination, such longer period of time as may be set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement); provided that the Special Servicer shall implement the recommended action as outlined in the Asset Status Report if it makes a determination in accordance with the Servicing Standard that the objection is not in the best interest of all the Certificateholders and, in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) (as a collective whole, as if they together constituted a single lender). If, during a Subordinate Control Period, the Subordinate Class Representative disapproves the Asset Status Report (other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan) and the Special Servicer has not made the affirmative determination described above, the Special Servicer shall revise the Asset Status Report and deliver a new Asset Status Report as soon as practicable, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after the disapproval, to the Master Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder (other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan as to which such Asset Status Report is Excluded Information), the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) (if any) (only to the extent such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder is expressly entitled to receive such Asset Status Report under the related Intercreditor Agreement and the subject of the Asset Status Report does not involve a sale or proposed sale of the Mortgage Loan, and provided that if such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan is included in an Other Securitization, such Asset Status Report shall be delivered to the related Other Master Servicer) and the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider (who

 

265
 

 

shall promptly post such revised Asset Status Report on the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 8.12(c)). During a Subordinate Control Period, the Special Servicer shall revise the Asset Status Report (other than with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to which the Subordinate Class Representative is a Borrower Party, and as to which such Asset Status Report is Excluded Information) until the Subordinate Class Representative fails to disapprove the revised Asset Status Report as described above, until the Subordinate Class Representative’s approval is no longer required or until the Special Servicer makes a determination that the objection is not in the best interests of all the Certificateholders and, in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) (as a collective whole, as if they together constituted a single lender). If, during a Subordinate Control Period, the Subordinate Class Representative and the Special Servicer have not agreed upon an Asset Status Report (other than with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to which the Subordinate Class Representative is a Borrower Party, and as to which such Asset Status Report is Excluded Information) within ninety (90) days following the Subordinate Class Representative’s receipt of the initial Asset Status Report, the Special Servicer shall implement the actions described in the most recent Asset Status Report submitted by the Special Servicer to the Subordinate Class Representative. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Special Servicer determines that emergency action is necessary to protect the related Mortgaged Property or the interests of the Certificateholders, or if a failure to take any such action at such time would be inconsistent with the Servicing Standard, the Special Servicer may take actions with respect to the related Mortgaged Property before the expiration of the ten (10) Business Day period (or, with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination, such longer period of time as may be set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement) referenced above and if the Special Servicer reasonably determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that failure to take such actions before the expiration of such period would materially and adversely affect the interest of the Certificateholders and, except in the case of any Excluded Loan with respect to which the Subordinate Class Representative is a Borrower Party, the Special Servicer has made commercially reasonable efforts, during a Subordinate Control Period, to contact the Subordinate Class Representative. The foregoing shall not relieve the Special Servicer of its duties to comply with the Servicing Standard. Any Asset Status Report delivered with respect to an Excluded Controlling Class Loan shall be sent via email to cmbsexcludedinformation@wellsfargo.com (or via such other electronic means as is mutually acceptable to the parties) in one or more separate files labeled by the Special Servicer “Excluded Controlling Class Loan” followed by the applicable loan number and loan name.

 

The Special Servicer may, from time to time, modify any Asset Status Report it has previously delivered and implement such report, provided such report shall have been prepared, reviewed and not rejected pursuant to the terms of this Section 3.24(a).

 

In addition, the Special Servicer shall deliver a summary (as approved by the Subordinate Class Representative if a Subordinate Control Period is in effect and other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan) of each Final Asset Status Report to the Certificate Administrator, the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder and the Trust Advisor (and, with respect to the Trust Advisor, shall also deliver each Final Asset Status Report). Upon receipt of such summary, the Certificate Administrator shall post such summary on its website in accordance with Section 8.12(b). The Special Servicer shall deliver any summary of a Final Asset Status Report with respect to an Excluded Controlling Class Loan via email to

 

266
 

 

cmbsexcludedinformation@wellsfargo.com (or via such other electronic means as is mutually acceptable to the parties) in one or more separate files labeled by the Special Servicer “Excluded Controlling Class Loan” followed by the applicable loan number and loan name.

 

A “Final Asset Status Report”, with respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, means each related Asset Status Report, together with such other data or supporting information provided by the Special Servicer to the Subordinate Class Representative (other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan), in each case prepared in connection with the workout or liquidation of such Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and which, in any event, will not include any Privileged Information; provided that no Asset Status Report shall be considered to be a Final Asset Status Report unless, during a Subordinate Control Period, the Subordinate Class Representative (other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan) has either finally approved of and consented to the actions proposed to be taken in connection therewith, or has exhausted all of its rights of approval or consent, or has been deemed to approve or consent to such action.

 

Each of the Subordinate Class Representative (during any Collective Consultation Period and other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan) and the Trust Advisor (during any Collective Consultation Period and any Senior Consultation Period) will be entitled to consult on a non-binding basis with the Special Servicer and propose possible alternative courses of action and provide other feedback in respect of any Asset Status Report, and the Special Servicer shall consider such alternative courses of action and any other feedback provided by the Subordinate Class Representative (other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan) and/or the Trust Advisor, as applicable. The Special Servicer may revise any 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 Subordinate Class Representative and/or the Trust Advisor. Consultation with the Trust Advisor shall occur in the manner provided in Sections 3.28(f) and 3.28(h).

 

(b)          Upon receiving notice of the occurrence of the events described in clause (c) of the definition of Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (without regard to the sixty (60) day or one hundred twenty (120) day period, respectively, set forth therein), the Master Servicer shall with reasonable promptness give notice thereof, and shall use its reasonable efforts to provide the Special Servicer with all information relating to the Serviced Mortgage Loan and reasonably requested by the Special Servicer. The Master Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to comply with the preceding sentence within five (5) Business Days of the occurrence of each such event.

 

(c)          During any Subordinate Control Period, (i) the Subordinate Class Representative will be entitled to approve or disapprove Asset Status Reports (other than any Asset Status Report related to any related Excluded Loan) and (ii) other than with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to which the Subordinate Class Representative is a Borrower Party, the Special Servicer generally will not be permitted to take or consent to the Master Servicer’s taking any Material Action not otherwise covered by an approved Asset Status Report, unless and until the Special Servicer has notified the Subordinate Class Representative and the Subordinate Class Representative has consented (or failed to object) thereto in writing within ten (10) Business Days (or, in connection with a leasing matter, five (5) Business Days, or in connection with an Acceptable Insurance Default, thirty (30) days) of having been notified

 

267
 

 

thereof in writing and provided with all reasonably requested information by it. However, the Special Servicer may take any Material Action (or consent to the Master Servicer’s taking a Material Action) without waiting for the response of the Subordinate Class Representative if the Special Servicer determines that immediate action is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders and, if affected thereby, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s), as a collective whole. Furthermore, during a Subordinate Control Period, the Subordinate Class Representative may, in general, direct the Special Servicer (other than with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to which the Subordinate Class Representative is a Borrower Party) to take, or to refrain from taking, any actions as that representative may deem advisable with respect to the servicing and administration of Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Properties or as to which provision is otherwise made in this Agreement. During a Subordinate Control Period, the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder, or the Subordinate Class Representative on its behalf shall have the right to remove the existing Special Servicer, with or without cause, and appoint a successor to the Special Servicer, all as provided in Section 6.05(a) (in each case, other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan).

 

During any Collective Consultation Period, the Subordinate Class Representative shall have consultation rights (in addition to those of the Trust Advisor) with respect to Material Actions not otherwise covered by an Asset Status Report (other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan) as to which the Subordinate Class Representative has been consulted. During any Collective Consultation Period or Senior Consultation Period, the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder and the Subordinate Class Representative shall have no right to remove the existing Special Servicer.

 

During any Collective Consultation Period or Senior Consultation Period, the Special Servicer shall consult on a non-binding basis with the Trust Advisor with respect to Material Actions (regardless of whether such Material Action is covered by an Asset Status Report); provided that the Special Servicer shall not consult with the Trust Advisor with respect to Material Actions related to collateral substitutions, assignments, insurance policies, Borrower substitutions, lease modifications and amendments and other similar actions that the Special Servicer may perform under this Agreement, to the extent such actions do not relate to the restructuring, resolution, sale or liquidation of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property.

 

For the purposes of this Agreement, “Material Action” means, for any Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, any of the following actions:

 

(i)          any proposed or actual foreclosure upon or comparable conversion (which shall include acquisitions of any REO Property) of the ownership of the property or properties securing any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan that comes into and continues in default;

 

(ii)         any modification, consent to a modification or waiver of any monetary term (other than late fees and Default Interest) or material non-monetary term (including, without limitation, the timing of payments and acceptance of discounted payoffs) of a Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan

 

268
 

 

Combination or any extension of the maturity date of a Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination;

 

(iii)        following a default or an event of default with respect to a Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination, any exercise of remedies, including the acceleration of the Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination or initiation of any proceedings, judicial or otherwise, under the related Mortgage Loan Documents;

 

(iv)        any sale of a Defaulted Mortgage Loan or REO Property for less than the applicable Purchase Price;

 

(v)         any determination to bring a Mortgaged Property or an REO Property into compliance with applicable environmental laws or to otherwise address any Hazardous Materials located at a Mortgaged Property or an REO Property;

 

(vi)        any release of material collateral or any acceptance of substitute or additional collateral for a Serviced Mortgage Loan or Serviced Loan Combination or any consent to either of the foregoing, other than if required pursuant to the specific terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents and for which there is no lender discretion;

272
 

 

Date with respect to such Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan, as the case may be, which interest was paid from a source other than Default Charges collected on such Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan, as the case may be; and

 

(iii)        third, with respect to any remaining Default Charges (“Net Default Charges”), to the Master Servicer, to the extent that such Net Default Charges accrued while the related Mortgage Loan was not a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, or to the Special Servicer, to the extent that such Net Default Charges accrued while the related Mortgage Loan was a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan.

(b)          The Master Servicer shall maintain a register (the “Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder Register”) on which the Master Servicer shall record the names and addresses of any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders and wire transfer instructions for such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders from time to time, to the extent such information is provided in writing to the Master Servicer by the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder. Upon the transfer of any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, each subsequent Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder, or a servicer on its behalf, is required pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement to inform the Master Servicer of its name and address and of any transfer thereof by delivering a copy of an assignment and assumption agreement or other agreement effectuating such transfer. Additionally, each Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder shall inform the Master Servicer of its taxpayer identification number and wiring instructions. The name, address, tax identification number, and wiring instructions of each initial Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder as of the Closing Date is set forth on Schedule IX hereto. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon the information set forth on Schedule IX hereto or delivered by any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder until it receives written notice of transfer or of any change in information. Upon receipt of a written request from any party hereto, the Master Servicer shall provide a current list

 

274
 

 

of Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders, together with contact information for any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders.

 

In no event shall the Master Servicer be obligated to pay any party the amounts payable to a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder hereunder other than the Person listed as such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder on the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder Register. If a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder transfers the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan without notice to the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer shall have no liability whatsoever for any misdirected payment on such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan and shall have no obligation to recover and redirect such payment.

 

The Master Servicer shall promptly provide the names and addresses of any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders to any party hereto, and any such party or successor may, without further investigation, conclusively rely upon such information. The Master Servicer shall have no liability to any Person for the provision of any such names and addresses.

 

(c)           With respect to any Serviced Loan Combination during any Subordinate Control Period (unless such Serviced Loan Combination is a related Excluded Loan), the Subordinate Class Representative shall be entitled to exercise the consent rights of such Serviced Loan Combination to the extent set forth in the applicable Intercreditor Agreement, in accordance with the terms of the related Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement.

 

(d)           The Special Servicer (if any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or has become an REO Mortgage Loan) or the Master Servicer (with respect to any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan that is not a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan), as applicable, shall take all actions relating to the servicing and/or administration of, and the preparation and delivery of reports and other information with respect to, any Serviced Loan Combination related to any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan or any related REO Property required to be performed by the holder of the related Mortgage Loan or contemplated to be performed by a servicer, in any case pursuant to and as required by the related Intercreditor Agreement. In addition notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the following considerations shall apply with respect to the servicing of a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan:

 

(i)          none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee shall make any P&I Advance with respect to any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan; and

 

(ii)         the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each consult with and obtain the consent of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) to the extent required by the related Intercreditor Agreement.

 

If any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan or any portion thereof or any particular payments thereon are included in a REMIC or a “grantor trust” (within the meaning of the Grantor Trust Provisions), then neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall knowingly take any action that would result in the equivalent of an Adverse REMIC Event with respect to such REMIC or adversely affect the tax status of such grantor trust as a grantor trust.

 

275
 

 

The parties hereto acknowledge that no Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder shall (1) owe any fiduciary duty to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or any Certificateholder or (2) have any liability to the Trustee or the Certificateholders for taking any action, or for refraining from the taking of any action, pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement, or for the giving of any consent or for errors in judgment. Each Certificateholder, by its acceptance of a Certificate, shall be deemed to have confirmed its understanding that a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder (i) may take or refrain from taking actions that favor its interests or the interests of its affiliates over the Certificateholders, (ii) may have special relationships and interests that conflict with the interests of the Certificateholders and shall be deemed to have agreed to take no action against a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder or any of its officers, directors, employees, principals or agents as a result of such special relationships or conflicts, and (iii) shall not be liable by reason of its having acted or refrained from acting solely in its interest or in the interest of its affiliates.

 

The parties hereto recognize and acknowledge the rights of each Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder under the related Intercreditor Agreement. Furthermore, to the extent not otherwise expressly included herein, any provisions required to be included herein pursuant to any Intercreditor Agreement for a Serviced Loan Combination or a Non-Serviced Loan Combination are deemed incorporated herein by reference, and the parties hereto shall comply with those provisions as if set forth herein in full. In the event of any conflict between the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the terms and provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement for any Serviced Loan Combination, the terms and provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement for such Serviced Loan Combination shall control.

 

Each of the rights of any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder under or contemplated by this Section 3.26(d) may be exercisable by a designee thereof on its behalf; provided that the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee are provided with written notice by the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder of such designation (upon which such party may conclusively rely) and the contact details of the designee.

 

If any Person purchases the related Mortgage Loan as a Defaulted Mortgage Loan pursuant to Section 3.18, then (subject to the related Intercreditor Agreement) the Person effecting the purchase must also pay and/or reimburse to the parties hereto the respective amounts then currently due and owing to them hereunder with respect to the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s) that, pursuant to this Agreement, would not otherwise have been payable out of the applicable purchase price and/or any other amounts payable in connection with such purchase (or if payable out of such purchase price and/or other amounts, remain unpaid after such application) and that, pursuant to the related Intercreditor Agreement, would otherwise have been payable out of future collections on such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any such purchase shall be subject to such reimbursements.

 

Any reference to servicing any of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with any of the related Mortgage Loan Documents (including the related Mortgage Note and Mortgage) shall also mean, in the case of a Serviced Loan Combination, in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement.

 

276
 

 

For purposes of exercising any rights that the holder of the Mortgage Note for any Mortgage Loan in a Serviced Loan Combination may have under the related Intercreditor Agreement, the Subordinate Class Representative shall be the designee of the Trust, as such noteholder, and the Trustee shall take such actions as may be necessary under the related Intercreditor Agreement to effect such designation.

 

(e)           With respect to each Serviced Loan Combination (to the extent the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, has not received written notice stating that the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder is an Excluded Holder or the equivalent under the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder and, if applicable, any related “Non-Controlling Note Holder” under the related Intercreditor Agreement (or its designee or representative) to the extent required hereunder to be provided to Certificateholders or to the Subordinate Class Representative (determined without regard to whether or not such Loan Combination is an Excluded Loan), within the same time frame it is required to provide such information and materials to the Certificateholders or the Subordinate Class Representative, as applicable, hereunder (1) with copies of each financial statement received by the Master Servicer pursuant to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents, (2) with copies of any notice of default sent to the Borrower and (3) subject to the terms of the related Mortgage Loan Documents, copies of any other documents relating to such Serviced Loan Combination, including, without limitation, property inspection reports, loan servicing statements, Borrower requests, Asset Status Reports, any other information delivered by the Master Servicer to the Subordinate Class Representative (other than with respect to any Loan Combination that is a related Excluded Loan) and copies of any other notice, information or report that it is required to provide to the Subordinate Class Representative pursuant to this Agreement with respect to any “major decisions” or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report relating to such Serviced Loan Combination. Any copies to be furnished by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may be furnished by hard copy or furnished or made available by electronic means.

 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively assume that any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder is not an Excluded Holder or the equivalent under the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, except to the extent that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, has received notice from such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder that it has become an Excluded Holder or the equivalent under the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be liable for any communication of the information listed in the preceding paragraph to a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder that is an Excluded Holder or the equivalent under the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, did not receive prior written notice that the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan is the equivalent of an Excluded Loan under the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement. Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be entitled to conclusively rely on delivery from a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder of notice that it is no longer an Excluded Holder or the equivalent under the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

277
 

 

(f)           With respect to each Serviced Loan Combination, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall:

 

(i)          consult with the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder (or its designee or representative) on a strictly non-binding basis, to the extent that such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder (or its designee or representative) requests consultation with respect to any “major decision”, “major action” or analogous term having the same meaning set forth in or contemplated by the related Intercreditor Agreement or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report relating to any Serviced Loan Combination, and to consider alternative actions recommended by such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder (or its designee or representative); provided that after the expiration of a period of ten (10) Business Days from the delivery to the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder (or its designee or representative) of written notice of a proposed action, together with copies of the related notice, information or report, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall no longer be obligated to consult with the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder (or its designee or representative) (unless the Master Servicer or Special 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 shall begin anew from the date of such proposal and delivery of all information relating thereto). Notwithstanding the foregoing non-binding consultation rights of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may take any “major decision”, “major action” or analogous term set forth in or contemplated by the related Intercreditor Agreement or any action set forth in the Asset Status Report before the expiration of the aforementioned or extended ten (10) Business Day period if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, determines that immediate action with respect thereto is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders and the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder. In no event shall the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer be obligated at any time to follow or take any alternative actions recommended by any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder; and

 

(ii)         in addition to the foregoing non-binding consultation rights, each Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder shall have the right to annual meetings with the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer at the offices of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, upon reasonable notice and at times reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in which servicing issues related to any related Serviced Loan Combination are discussed.

 

(g)          In connection with the securitization of any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, while such Pari Passu Companion Loan is a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, upon the request of (and at the expense of) the holder of such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, shall use reasonable

 

278
 

 

efforts to cooperate with such holder of such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan in attempting to cause the related Borrower to provide information relating to the related Loan Combination and the related notes, and that such holder reasonably determines to be necessary or appropriate, for inclusion in any disclosure document(s) relating to such securitization.

concerns with respect to the applicable replacement 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 any other commercial mortgage-backed securitization transaction serviced by the applicable servicer prior to the time of determination, if Moody’s is the non-responding Rating Agency; or (3) the applicable replacement either (a) has a master servicer or a special servicer, as applicable, ranking of at least “MOR CS3” by Morningstar (if ranked by Morningstar) or (b) if not ranked by Morningstar, is currently acting as a master servicer or special servicer, as applicable, on a deal or transaction-level basis for all or a significant portion of the related mortgage loans in other commercial mortgage-backed securities transactions rated by any NRSRO and a responsible officer of the Trustee does not have actual knowledge that Morningstar has, with respect to any such other commercial mortgage-backed securities transaction, qualified, downgraded or withdrawn its rating or ratings on one or more classes of such commercial mortgage-backed securities publicly citing servicing concerns of the applicable replacement as the sole or material factor in such rating action, if Morningstar is the non-responding Rating Agency, and (z) with respect to a replacement or successor to the Trust Advisor, such condition shall be deemed to be waived with respect to any non-responding Rating Agency so long as such Rating Agency shall not have cited concerns regarding the replacement trust advisor 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 commercial mortgage-backed securitization transaction with respect to which the replacement trust advisor acts as trust advisor or operating advisor prior to the time of determination. The applicable Requesting Party’s communications to confirm a Rating Agency’s receipt of information, and such Requesting Party’s additional request for the related Rating Agency Confirmation under clause (i) of the preceding sentence shall not itself be subject to the advance posting and delayed delivery requirements of Section 3.27(g) below, but this statement shall not be construed to relieve the applicable Requesting Party of compliance with Section 3.27(g) below to the extent that such communications or such additional request to a Rating Agency include or are accompanied by any information regarding the underlying request for the related Rating Agency Confirmation that was not delivered in the original request for such Rating Agency Confirmation.

 

(b)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.27, for purposes of the provisions of any Mortgage Loan Document or this Agreement relating to defeasance (including without limitation the type of collateral acceptable for use as defeasance collateral) or release or substitution of any collateral, any Rating Agency Confirmation requirement in the Mortgage Loan Documents for which the Master Servicer or Special Servicer would have been permitted to waive obtaining such Rating Agency Confirmation pursuant to Section 3.27(a)(ii)(x) shall be deemed to have been satisfied.

 

(c)          For all other matters or actions requiring, as a condition precedent to such matter or action, a Rating Agency Confirmation under any Mortgage Loan Documents or this Agreement and not specifically discussed in Section 3.27(a) above, the applicable Requesting Party shall deliver Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency.

 

(d)          In connection with any determination made by the Requesting Party pursuant to Section 3.27(a) above, the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, shall obtain the

 

280
 

 

consent of the Subordinate Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period (other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan)) or consult with the Subordinate Class Representative (during any Collective Consultation Period (other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan)) and the Trust Advisor (during any Collective Consultation Period or Senior Consultation Period), with consent or approval deemed to be granted by the Subordinate Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period (other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan)), if it does not respond within five (5) Business Days of its receipt of a request for consideration from the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable.

 

(e)          Promptly following the Requesting Party’s determination to take any action discussed above without receiving affirmative Rating Agency Confirmation from a Rating Agency, the Requesting Party (to the extent that the applicable information has been provided to the Requesting Party) shall provide notice of such determination, which may be transmitted by electronic mail in accordance with Section 12.06, to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such notice to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 8.12(c)).

 

(f)           Any Rating Agency Confirmation requests made by the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, Certificate Administrator, Trustee or Trust Advisor, as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement, shall 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 necessary for the Rating Agency to process such request. Such written Rating Agency Confirmation requests must be provided in electronic format to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall post such request on the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 8.12(c)).

 

(g)          If the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Trust Advisor orally communicates with any Rating Agency regarding any of the Mortgage Loan Documents or any matter related to the Mortgage Loans, any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, the related Mortgaged Properties, the related Borrowers or any other matters in connection with the Certificates or pursuant to this Agreement, that party shall summarize in writing the information provided to the Rating Agencies in such oral communication and provide the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider with such written summary on the same day such communication takes place or such later date to which the Depositor may consent in its sole discretion. The Rule 17g-5 Information Provider shall post such written summary on the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.12(c). All other information required to be delivered to the Rating Agencies pursuant to this Agreement or requested by the Rating Agencies in connection with the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans, shall first be provided in electronic format to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall post such information to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 8.12(c)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, other than in connection with its resignation pursuant to Section 3.28(q), the Trust Advisor shall have no authority to communicate directly with the Rating Agencies.

 

(h)          Subject to Section 12.01(c) and Section 12.01(g), the Depositor, the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Trust Advisor, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer may amend this Agreement to change the procedures regarding

 

281
 

 

compliance with Rule 17g-5, without any Certificateholder consent; provided that such amendment does not materially increase the responsibilities of the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider; and provided, further, that notice of any such amendment must be provided to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider, who shall post such notice to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 8.12(c), and within two (2) Business Days following delivery to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider, delivered to the Rating Agencies.

 

(i)           Each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider and, insofar as it may communicate with any Rating Agency pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, each other party to this Agreement, agrees to comply (and to cause each and every Sub-Servicer, subcontractor, vendor or agent for such Person and each of its officers, directors and employees to comply) with the provisions relating to communications with the Rating Agencies set forth in this Section 3.27 and shall not deliver to any Rating Agency any report, statement, request for Rating Agency Confirmation or other information relating to the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans other than in compliance with such provisions.

 

(j)           None of the foregoing restrictions in this Section 3.27 prohibit or restrict oral or written communications, or providing information, between the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trust Advisor, on the one hand, and a Rating Agency, on the other hand, with regard to (i) such Rating Agency’s review of the ratings it assigns to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trust Advisor, as applicable, (ii) such Rating Agency’s approval of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trust Advisor, as applicable, as a commercial mortgage master, special or primary servicer or such Rating Agency’s approval of the Trust Advisor as an operating or trust advisor or (iii) such Rating Agency’s evaluation of the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as applicable, servicing operations in general or such Rating Agency’s evaluation of the Trust Advisor’s performance as operating or trust advisor or its surveillance operations in general; provided that the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trust Advisor, as applicable, shall not provide any information relating to the Certificates or the Mortgage Loans to a Rating Agency in connection with any such review and evaluation by such Rating Agency unless (x) borrower-, property- or deal-specific identifiers are redacted; or (y) such information has already been provided to the Depositor and has been uploaded on to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website.

 

(k)          Insofar as any matter involving or relating to a Serviced Loan Combination requires a Rating Agency Confirmation, the Person required to seek such Rating Agency Confirmation shall determine if an analogous rating agency confirmation either (i) is expressly required to be obtained with respect to such matter under the related Intercreditor Agreement or (ii) is expressly required (or, if the subject Serviced Loan Combination were being serviced under such Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, would have been required) to be obtained with respect to such matter under the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and, if so required, the Person(s) seeking such Rating Agency Confirmation shall also obtain such analogous rating agency confirmation with respect to such matter from each Pari Passu Companion Loan Rating Agency, so long as the holder(s) of such Pari Passu Companion Loan(s) have notified the parties to this Agreement of such requirement (which may be satisfied by delivery thereto of the applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement and cooperation from the Other Master Servicer as to the assessment of such requirement), the identity of the applicable NRSROs, the identity of the applicable rule 17g-5 information provider and the

 

282
 

 

location of the applicable rule 17g-5 information provider’s website. To the extent any provision of this Agreement requires a Requesting Party to obtain such an analogous rating agency confirmation from a Pari Passu Companion Loan Rating Agency, the provisions of this Section 3.27 for satisfying such rating agency confirmation condition shall be applicable.

 

(l)           In connection with the delivery by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider of any information, report, notice or document for posting to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may (but is not obligated to) send such information, report, notice or other document to the applicable Rating Agency, but any such delivery may not occur until the earlier of (i) after receipt of confirmation from the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider that such information, report, notice or document has been posted to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website or (ii) the second Business Day after it has provided such information, report, notice or other document to the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider.

 

Section 3.28         The Trust Advisor. (a) (i) Within sixty (60) days after the end of each calendar year during any Senior Consultation Period, the Trust Advisor shall meet with representatives of the Special Servicer if the Special Servicer prepared (and delivered to the Trust Advisor) an Asset Status Report with respect to a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property during such calendar year to perform a review of the Special Servicer’s operational practices on a platform-level basis in light of the Servicing Standard and the requirements of this Agreement and shall discuss the Special Servicer’s stated policies and procedures, operational controls and protocols, risk management systems, technological infrastructure (systems), intellectual resources, the Special Servicer’s reasoning for believing it is in compliance with this Agreement and other pertinent information the Trust Advisor may consider relevant, in each case, insofar as such information relates to the workout, restructuring, resolution, sale or liquidation of Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans by the Special Servicer during such calendar year.

 

(ii)          Based on (a) the Trust Advisor’s review of (1) during any Subordinate Control Period, any previously identified Final Asset Status Reports delivered to the Trust Advisor by the Special Servicer, (2) during any Collective Consultation Period or Senior Consultation Period, any Asset Status Reports and other information delivered to the Trust Advisor by the Special Servicer (other than any communications between the Subordinate Class Representative and the Special Servicer that would be Privileged Information), and (3) during any control or consultation period (as set forth in clauses (1) and (2) above), such other additional limited non-privileged information and documentation provided by the Special Servicer to the Trust Advisor that is required or permitted to be delivered to the Trust Advisor under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the annual compliance statements delivered by the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 11.12 and the annual independent public accountants’ servicing reports furnished with respect to the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 11.14) and (b) during a Senior Consultation Period, the Trust Advisor’s meeting with the Special Servicer, the Trust Advisor shall prepare and deliver to the Trustee and to the Certificate Administrator (who shall promptly post such Trust Advisor Annual Report on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with

 

283
 

 

Section 8.12(b)) and the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post such Trust Advisor Annual Report on the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 8.12(c)) within 120 days of the end of the prior calendar year an annual report (the “Trust Advisor Annual Report”), substantially in the form of Exhibit O-1 or Exhibit O-2, as applicable (which form may be modified or altered as to either its organization or content by the Trust Advisor, subject to compliance of such form with the terms and provisions of this Agreement including, without limitation, provisions herein relating to Privileged Information; provided that in no event shall the information or any other content included in the Trust Advisor Annual Report contravene any provision of this Agreement) setting forth the Trust Advisor’s assessment of the Special Servicer’s performance of its duties under this Agreement during the prior calendar year on a platform-level basis with respect to the workout, restructuring, resolution, sale and liquidation of Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans during the prior calendar year; provided that during any Subordinate Control Period, such assessment shall relate solely to Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans with respect to which a Final Asset Status Report has been issued. Solely as used in connection with the Trust Advisor Annual Report, the term “platform-level basis” refers to the Special Servicer’s performance of its duties as they relate to the workout, restructuring, resolution, sale and liquidation of Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, taking into account the Special Servicer’s specific duties under this Agreement as well as the extent to which those duties were performed in accordance with the Servicing Standard, with reasonable consideration by the Trust Advisor of the items required to be reviewed by it pursuant to this Agreement. If the Trust Advisor has provided for review to the Special Servicer a Trust Advisor Annual Report containing an assessment of the performance of the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.28(a)(iv) that in the reasonable view of the Special Servicer presents a negative assessment of the Special Servicer’s performance, the Special Servicer shall be permitted to provide to the Trust Advisor non-privileged information and documentation, in each case that is reasonably relevant to the facts upon which the Trust Advisor has based such assessment, and the Trust Advisor shall undertake a reasonable review of such additional limited non-privileged information and documentation prior to finalizing its annual assessment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the content of the Trust Advisor Annual Report shall be determined solely by the Trust Advisor. Subject to the restrictions and limitations in this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 3.28(b), (c), (d) and (g) hereof, each Trust Advisor Annual Report shall (A) identify any material deviations of which it has actual knowledge (i) from the Special Servicer’s obligations to comply with the Servicing Standard and (ii) from the Special Servicer’s obligations under this Agreement with respect to the workout, restructuring, resolution, sale or liquidation of Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and (B) comply with all of the confidentiality requirements described in this Agreement regarding Privileged Information (subject to any permitted exceptions). No Trust Advisor Annual Report shall be required from the Trust Advisor with respect to the Special Servicer if during the prior calendar year no Asset Status Report was prepared (or, during a Subordinate Control Period,

 

284
 

 

finalized) by the Special Servicer in connection with a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property that the Special Servicer was obligated to service. In addition, in the event the Special Servicer is replaced during the prior calendar year, the Trust Advisor will only be required to prepare a Trust Advisor Annual Report relating to each 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 Trust Advisor Annual Report. Each Trust Advisor Annual Report shall be delivered to the Certificate Administrator, and the Certificate Administrator shall promptly upon receipt post such Trust Advisor Annual Report on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 8.12(b). The Trust Advisor shall also deliver a copy of each Trust Advisor Annual Report to the Special Servicer and, during any Subordinate Control Period or Collective Consultation Period, the Subordinate Class Representative (other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan) and any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder. The Special Servicer and, during any Subordinate Control Period or Collective Consultation Period, the Subordinate Class Representative (other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan), shall be given an opportunity to review any annual report described in this Section 3.28(a)(ii) and produced by the Trust Advisor at least ten (10) days prior to its delivery to the Certificate Administrator.

 

Upon reasonable written request, the Special Servicer shall provide the Trust Advisor with electronic access (reasonably acceptable to the Special Servicer and the Trust Advisor) to such Special Servicer’s stated policies and procedures to permit the Trust Advisor to review such policies and procedures. The Trust Advisor shall keep all information contained in the policies and procedures strictly confidential, except (A) the Trust Advisor may disclose such information if (i) such information becomes generally available and known to the public other than as a result of a disclosure directly or indirectly by the Trust Advisor, (ii) such disclosure is required by applicable law (as demonstrated by evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Special Servicer) or (iii) the Trust Advisor has obtained such information independently of the Special Servicer and (B) the Trust Advisor may disclose a particular portion of the policies and procedures solely when necessary to support specific conclusions concerning allegations of material deviations from the Servicing Standard (i) in the Trust Advisor Annual Report, or (ii) in connection with a recommendation by the Trust Advisor to replace the Special Servicer pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trust Advisor agrees hereby that it shall not use any such information received from the Special Servicer in the performance of its duties hereunder for any purpose other than to review the Special Servicer’s performance hereunder and in preparation of the Trust Advisor Annual Report and the Trust Advisor will be permitted to share such information with its Affiliates and any subcontractors of the Trust Advisor only to the extent reasonably necessary to perform the Trust Advisor’s obligations under this Agreement and provided such Trust Advisor Affiliates and subcontractors agree in writing prior to their receipt of such information to be bound by the same confidentiality provisions applicable to the Trust Advisor. Nothing set forth

 

285
 

 

herein shall limit or affect the scope of the Trust Advisor’s duties under this Agreement.

 

(iii)         The Trust Advisor, the Trust Advisor’s subcontractors and the Trust Advisor’s Affiliates shall keep, and the Trust Advisor shall cause the Trust Advisor’s subcontractors and the Trust Advisor’s Affiliates to keep, confidential any Privileged Information received from the Special Servicer or Subordinate Class Representative in connection with the Subordinate Class Representative’s exercise of any rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, in connection with any Asset Status Report) or otherwise in connection with the Certificates. Subject to the permitted exceptions in the following sentence, the Trust Advisor shall not disclose such Privileged Information so received from the Special Servicer or Subordinate Class Representative to any other Person (including any Certificateholders which are not then Holders of the Control-Eligible Certificates), other than to the other parties to this Agreement and to the extent expressly required by the other provisions of this Agreement and other than under the circumstances described in the following sentence. If the Trust Advisor, the Trust Advisor’s subcontractors or the Trust Advisor’s Affiliates, or any other party to this Agreement (other than the Special Servicer), receives any Privileged Information and has been advised that such information is Privileged Information, then such Person shall be prohibited from disclosing such information so received by it to any other Person, including in connection with preparing any responses to any investor-submitted inquiries posted on the Investor Q&A Forum, except to the extent that (a) the Special Servicer and (unless such Privileged Information relates to an Excluded Loan with respect to which the Subordinate Class Representative is a Borrower Party) the Subordinate Class Representative have consented in writing to its disclosure, (b) such Privileged Information becomes generally available and known to the public other than as a result of a disclosure directly or indirectly by such Person, (c) it is reasonable and necessary for such Person to do so in working with legal counsel, auditors, taxing authorities or other governmental agencies, (d) such Privileged Information was already known to such Person and not otherwise subject to a confidentiality obligation, (e) such disclosure is expressly authorized or required under another provision of this Agreement and/or (f) such disclosure is required by applicable law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trust Advisor shall be permitted to share Privileged Information with its Affiliates and any subcontractors of the Trust Advisor to the extent necessary and for the sole purpose of permitting the Trust Advisor to perform its duties under this Agreement and so long as such Affiliates and any such subcontractors agree in writing to be bound by the same confidentiality provisions applicable to the Trust Advisor.

 

(iv)         During any Senior Consultation Period, the Trust Advisor shall provide the Special Servicer with at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of the date proposed for the annual meeting described in this Section 3.28(a). The Trust Advisor and the Special Servicer shall determine a mutually acceptable date for the annual meeting and the Trust Advisor shall deliver, at least fourteen

 

286
 

 

(14) days prior to such annual meeting, a proposed written agenda to the Special Servicer, including the identity of the Final Asset Status Report(s), if any, that shall be discussed during the annual meeting. In connection with the annual meeting, the Trust Advisor and the Special Servicer may discuss any of the Asset Status Reports produced with respect to any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan as part of the Trust Advisor’s annual assessment of the Special Servicer. The Special Servicer shall make available Servicing Officers with relevant knowledge regarding the applicable Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and the related platform-level information for each annual meeting described in this Section 3.28.

 

(v)          If the Trust Advisor’s ability to perform its obligations in respect of the Trust Advisor Annual Report is limited or prohibited due to the failure of a party hereto to timely deliver information required to be delivered to the Trust Advisor or such information is inaccurate or incomplete, the Trust Advisor shall set forth such limitations or prohibitions in the related Trust Advisor Annual Report.

 

(b)          During a Subordinate Control Period, the Trust Advisor’s obligations shall be limited to the general reviews as set forth in this Agreement and generally will not involve an assessment of specific actions of the Special Servicer and, in any event, shall be subject to limitations described in this Agreement.

 

(c)          The Trust Advisor shall not be required, in connection with its preparation of any Trust Advisor Annual Report during a Subordinate Control Period, to consider any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property with respect to which a Final Asset Status Report was not issued during the most recently ended calendar year.

 

(d)          During any Subordinate Control Period, the Special Servicer shall forward any Appraisal Reduction Amount calculations and net present value calculations used in the Special Servicer’s determination of what course of action to take in connection with the resolution or liquidation of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan to the Trust Advisor (and, during any Collective Consultation Period (other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan), the Subordinate Class Representative) after they have been finalized, and the Trust Advisor may review such calculations in support of its Trust Advisor Annual Report but shall not opine on, or otherwise call into question (whether in the annual report or otherwise) such Appraisal Reduction Amount calculations and/or net present value calculations.

 

(e)          During any Collective Consultation Period or Senior Consultation Period, the Special Servicer shall forward any calculations of Appraisal Reduction Amount or net present value to the Trust Advisor and, during any Collective Consultation Period (other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan), the Subordinate Class Representative, and (a) the Trust Advisor shall (upon receipt of all information and supporting materials reasonably required to be provided to the Trust Advisor as described in the following sentence) promptly recalculate and verify the accuracy of the mathematical calculations and the corresponding application 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 resolution or liquidation of a Specially Serviced Mortgage

 

287
 

 

Loan prior to the utilization by the Special Servicer, and (b) insofar as the calculation and/or application by the Special Servicer under review as contemplated by clause (a) requires or depends upon the exercise of discretion by the Special Servicer, the Trust Advisor shall assess the reasonableness of the determination made by the Special Servicer in the exercise of such discretion. The Special Servicer shall deliver the foregoing calculations, together with information and supporting materials (with respect to any Appraisal Reduction Amount calculations, once such information is received from the Master Servicer) (including such additional information reasonably requested by the Trust Advisor to confirm the mathematical accuracy of such calculations, but not including any Privileged Information) to the Trust Advisor and (during any Collective Consultation Period and other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan) the Subordinate Class Representative. In the event the Trust Advisor does not agree with (i) the mathematical calculations, (ii) the application of the applicable non-discretionary portions of the formula required to be utilized for such calculation or (iii) the reasonableness of any such determination made by the Special Servicer in the exercise of such discretion, the Trust Advisor and the Special Servicer shall consult in good faith with each other in order to resolve (x) any inaccuracy in the mathematical calculations or the application of the non-discretionary portions of the related formula in arriving at those mathematical calculations or (y) any disagreement over the reasonableness of a determination made by the Special Servicer in the exercise of its discretion. During any Collective Consultation Period (other than with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to which the Subordinate Class Representative is a Borrower Party), the Special Servicer shall also send to the Subordinate Class Representative copies of the Special Servicer’s calculations and the related information and supporting materials, as provided above to the Trust Advisor under this subsection, and engage in consultation with the Subordinate Class Representative in connection with its calculations and determinations. During any Collective Consultation Period (other than with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to which the Subordinate Class Representative is a Borrower Party), if the Trust Advisor and the Subordinate Class Representative agree on such matters and provide written notice of such agreement to the Special Servicer, the Special Servicer shall perform its calculations in accordance with such agreement. Otherwise, if the Trust Advisor and the Subordinate Class Representative do not reach agreement on such matters following the Trust Advisor’s calculation and verification procedures, the Special Servicer shall proceed according to its determination, and the Trust Advisor shall promptly prepare a report on the matter, which report shall set forth its and the Special Servicer’s calculations (including any material differences in assumptions used therein), and deliver such report to the Certificate Administrator, which shall post the report to the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 8.12(b) and, if applicable, to any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder. The Special Servicer shall have the opportunity to respond and deliver its own report to the Certificate Administrator, which shall post the report to the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 8.12(b) and, if applicable, the Special Servicer shall also deliver such report to any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder. No other action shall be required in connection with such circumstances.

 

(f)           During any Collective Consultation Period or Senior Consultation Period, the Special Servicer shall promptly deliver each Asset Status Report prepared in connection with the workout, restructuring, resolution, sale or liquidation of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan to the Trust Advisor and, during a Collective Consultation Period (other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan), the Subordinate Class Representative. The Trust Advisor shall provide

 

288
 

 

any comments it may have to the Special Servicer in respect of the Asset Status Reports, if any, within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of both such Asset Status Report and any additional information reasonably requested by the Trust Advisor, and propose possible alternative courses of action to the extent it determines such alternatives may be in the best interest of the Certificateholders (including any Certificateholders of the Control-Eligible Classes) and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s), as a collective whole. Regardless of whether the Special Servicer receives comments from the Trust Advisor by the end of such ten (10) Business Day period, the Special Servicer may (after the expiration of such period) proceed to perform such actions as are in accordance with such Asset Status Report.

 

(g)          During any Collective Consultation Period (in addition to the Subordinate Class Representative (other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan)) or Senior Consultation Period, the Special Servicer shall consult on a non-binding basis with the Trust Advisor with respect to, and prior to, Material Actions (regardless of whether such Material Actions are covered by an Asset Status Report) and the Trust Advisor shall provide any comments it may have to the Special Servicer in respect of each such Material Action within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of both a written request for consultation with respect to such Material Action and any additional information reasonably requested by the Trust Advisor; provided that the Trust Advisor shall have no such duty with respect to collateral substitutions, assignments, insurance policies, Borrower substitutions, lease modifications and amendments and other similar actions that the Special Servicer may perform under this Agreement to the extent such actions do not relate to the workout, restructuring, resolution, sale or liquidation of a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or REO Property. Regardless of whether the Special Servicer receives comments from the Trust Advisor by the end of such ten (10) Business Day period, the Special Servicer may (after the expiration of such period) proceed to perform such Material Actions as are in accordance with such request for consultation.

 

(h)          The Special Servicer shall consider any written alternative courses of action and any other feedback suggested or provided by the Trust Advisor and, during any Collective Consultation Period (other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan), the Subordinate Class Representative. The Special Servicer shall revise the Asset Status Reports as it deems necessary to take into account such input and/or comments, to the extent the Special Servicer determines that the Trust Advisor’s and/or (other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan) Subordinate Class Representative’s input and/or recommendations are consistent with the Servicing Standard and in the best interest of the Certificateholders, taking into account the interests of all of the Certificateholders (including any Certificateholders of the Control-Eligible Classes) and any related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s), as a collective whole.

 

(i)           The Special Servicer shall not be required to take or to refrain from taking any action because of an objection or comment by the Trust Advisor or a recommendation of the Trust Advisor that would require or cause the Special Servicer to violate applicable law, the terms of any Mortgage Loan, any Serviced Loan Combination or any other provision of this Agreement, including the Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard and the REMIC Provisions or result in an Adverse REMIC Event for any REMIC Pool or an Adverse Grantor Trust Event for the Grantor Trust Pool. For the avoidance of doubt, the Special Servicer shall not be required to take or refrain from taking any action because of an objection or comment by the Trust Advisor or a recommendation of the Trust Advisor in any

 

289
 

 

event. Furthermore, notwithstanding Section 3.28(f) and 3.28(g), if the Special Servicer determines that emergency action is necessary to protect the related Mortgaged Property or the interests of the Certificateholders, or if a failure to take any such action at such time would be inconsistent with the Servicing Standard, the Special Servicer may take actions with respect to the related Mortgaged Property before the expiration of the ten (10) Business Day period (or, with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination, such longer period of time as may be set forth in the related Intercreditor Agreement) referenced above if the Special Servicer reasonably determines in accordance with the Servicing Standard that failure to take such actions before the expiration of such period would materially and adversely affect the interest of the Certificateholders and the Special Servicer has made commercially reasonable efforts to promptly inform the Trust Advisor of its decision to take emergency action. The foregoing shall not relieve the Special Servicer of its duties to comply with the Servicing Standard.

 

(j)           The Trust Advisor, the Trust Advisor’s subcontractors and the Trust Advisor’s Affiliates shall keep, and the Trust Advisor shall cause the Trust Advisor’s subcontractors and the Trust Advisor’s Affiliates to keep, all Privileged Information confidential and shall not disclose such information to any other Person (including any Certificateholders which are not then included in the Control-Eligible Certificates), other than to the extent expressly set forth herein.

 

(k)          As compensation for its activities hereunder, the Trust Advisor shall be entitled to receive monthly the Trust Advisor Ongoing Fee on each Distribution Date with respect to each Serviced Mortgage Loan and any related successor REO Mortgage Loan accrued prior to the Trust Advisor’s termination in accordance with Section 3.28(p). As to each such Serviced Mortgage Loan and related successor REO Mortgage Loan, the Trust Advisor Ongoing Fee shall accrue from time to time at the Trust Advisor Ongoing Fee Rate and shall be computed on the basis of the Stated Principal Balance of such Serviced Mortgage Loan or successor REO Mortgage Loan and in the same manner as interest is calculated thereon and for the same period respecting which any related interest payment due or deemed thereon is computed. The Trust Advisor shall be entitled to reimbursement of any Trust Advisor Expenses provided for pursuant to Sections 6.03(a), 6.03(b) and/or 6.05 hereof, such amounts to be reimbursed from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account as provided by Section 3.05(a)(I)(xiv), but in the case of any Trust Advisor Expenses other than Designated Trust Advisor Expenses, reimbursements during any Collection Period shall not exceed the limit set forth for the related Distribution Date in Section 4.05(b) hereof. The Trust Advisor hereby acknowledges and agrees that in no event will any Trust Advisor Expenses be payable from, and the Trust Advisor hereby waives any and all claims to, amounts distributable in respect of, the Control-Eligible Certificates; provided that Designated Trust Advisor Expenses shall be reimbursable without limitation from the Collection Account as described in Section 3.05(a)(I)(xiv). Each successor Trust Advisor shall be required to acknowledge and agree to the terms of the preceding sentence.

 

(l)           As additional compensation for its activities hereunder, the Trust Advisor shall be entitled to receive the Trust Advisor Consulting Fee. The Trust Advisor Consulting Fee shall be payable, subject to the limitations set forth below, in an amount equal to ten thousand dollars ($10,000) in connection with each Material Action for which the Trust Advisor engages in consultation under Section 3.24 and this Section 3.28; provided that (i) no such fee shall be paid except to the extent such fee is actually paid by the applicable Borrower (and in no event shall

 

290
 

 

such fee be paid from the Trust Fund); (ii) the Trust Advisor shall be entitled to waive all or any portion of such fee in its sole discretion; and (iii) the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be authorized to waive the related Borrower’s payment of such fee in whole or in part if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, (A) determines that such waiver accords with the Servicing Standard and (B) consults with the Trust Advisor prior to effecting such waiver. In connection with each Material Action for which the Trust Advisor has consultation rights under Section 3.24 or this Section 3.28, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to collect the applicable Trust Advisor Consulting Fee from the related Borrower, in each case, only to the extent that such collection is not prohibited by the related Mortgage Loan Documents. In no event shall the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, take any enforcement action in connection with the collection of such Trust Advisor Consulting Fee, except that this statement shall not be construed to prohibit requests for payment of such Trust Advisor Consulting Fee. No Trust Advisor Consulting Fee shall be payable with respect to the 11 Madison Avenue Loan Combination or the Patrick Henry Mall Loan Combination.

 

(m)         The Trust Advisor may be removed upon (i) the written direction of holders of Certificates entitled to not less than 25% of the aggregate Voting Rights (taking into account the allocation of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts in respect of the Mortgage Loans to notionally reduce the Class Principal Balances of the Principal Balance Certificates to which such Appraisal Reduction Amounts are allocable) of all Certificates on an aggregate basis requesting a vote to replace the Trust Advisor with a replacement Trust Advisor selected by such Certificateholders (provided that the proposed replacement Trust Advisor meets the criteria set forth in Section 3.28(o)), (ii) such requesting Holders making payment to the Certificate Administrator of all reasonable fees and expenses to be incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with administering such vote, (iii) such requesting Holders delivering to the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency regarding the appointment of the replacement Trust Advisor (which confirmations will be obtained at the expense of such requesting Holders and will not constitute an Additional Trust Fund Expense) and (iv) such requesting Holders delivering to the Certificate Administrator an analogous “rating agency confirmation” from each Pari Passu Companion Loan Rating Agency regarding the appointment of the replacement Trust Advisor (which confirmations will be obtained at the expense of such requesting Holders and will not constitute an Additional Trust Fund Expense). The Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice to all Certificateholders of such request by posting such notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 8.12(b), and by mail, and conduct the solicitation of votes of all Certificates in such regard. Upon the vote or written direction of Certificateholders entitled to at least 75% of the aggregate Voting Rights (taking into account the allocation of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts in respect of the Mortgage Loans to notionally reduce the Class Principal Balances of the Principal Balance Certificates to which such Appraisal Reduction Amounts are allocable) of all Certificates on an aggregate basis, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Trustee, and the Trustee shall immediately replace the Trust Advisor with the replacement Trust Advisor. If a proposed termination and replacement of the Trust Advisor as described above is not consummated within 180 days following the initial request of the Certificateholders who requested a vote, then the proposed termination and replacement shall have no further force or effect. In addition, during any Subordinate Control Period, the identity of any replacement Trust Advisor proposed pursuant to this Section 3.28(m) shall be subject to the consent of the

 

291
 

 

Subordinate Class Representative (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), provided that such consent will be deemed to have been granted if no objection is made within ten (10) Business Days following the Subordinate Class Representative’s receipt of the request for consent, and, if granted, such consent may not thereafter be revoked or withdrawn.

 

(n)           If (i) the Trust Advisor fails to duly observe or perform in any material respect any of its duties, covenants or obligations under this Agreement, which failure continues unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice has been given to the Trust Advisor, (ii) an Insolvency Event occurs with respect to the Trust Advisor, or (iii) the Trust Advisor acknowledges in writing its inability to perform its duties hereunder, then either the Depositor or the Trustee may, and upon the written direction of Certificateholders representing at least 51% of the Voting Rights (taking into account the application of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts to notionally reduce the Certificate Principal Balance of the Classes of Certificates), the Trustee shall, terminate the Trust Advisor for cause. Upon the termination of the Trust Advisor, a replacement Trust Advisor satisfying the conditions for such replacement in Section 3.28(o) below shall be selected by the Trustee. In addition, during any Subordinate Control Period, the identity of the proposed replacement Trust Advisor shall be subject to the consent of the Subordinate Class Representative (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld); provided that such consent will be deemed to have been granted if no objection is made within ten (10) Business Days following the Subordinate Class Representative’s receipt of the request for consent, and, if granted, such consent may not thereafter be revoked or withdrawn. The Trustee may rely on a certification by the replacement Trust Advisor that it meets such criteria. If the Trustee is unable to find a replacement Trust Advisor within thirty (30) days of the termination of the Trust Advisor, the Depositor shall be permitted to find a replacement. Unless and until a replacement Trust Advisor is appointed, no party shall act as the Trust Advisor and the provisions relating to consultation and consent with respect to the Trust Advisor shall not be applicable until a replacement Trust Advisor is appointed hereunder.

 

(o)           Any replacement Trust Advisor shall (or all of the personnel responsible for supervising the obligations of the Trust Advisor shall) meet the following criteria: (i) be regularly engaged in the business of analyzing and advising clients in commercial mortgage-backed securities matters and have at least five (5) years of experience in collateral analysis and loss projections, and (ii) have at least five (5) years of experience in commercial real estate asset management and experience in the workout and management of distressed commercial real estate assets.

 

(p)           The Trust Advisor shall be discharged from its duties hereunder when the Class Principal Balances of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-SB and Class D Certificates and the Class A-S Regular Interest, Class B Regular Interest and Class C Regular Interest have been reduced to zero.

 

(q)           The Trust Advisor may resign from its obligations and duties hereby imposed on it (a) upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Subordinate Class Representative and the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder, (the latter two only if applicable), and (b) upon the appointment of, and the acceptance of such appointment by, a successor Trust Advisor meeting the eligibility requirements set forth in Section 3.28(o) above and receipt by the Trustee and the

 

292
 

 

Certificate Administrator of Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency. During a Subordinate Control Period, the identity of the replacement Trust Advisor will be subject to the reasonable approval of the Subordinate Class Representative only if the replacement Trust Advisor is a special servicer that (i) is rated or approved by an NRSRO and (ii) has not acted as a trust advisor or operating advisor in connection with a rated commercial mortgage securitization as of the Closing Date; provided that such approval will be deemed to have been granted if no objection is made within ten (10) Business Days following the Subordinate Class Representative’s receipt of the request for such approval, and, if granted, such approval may not thereafter be revoked or withdrawn. No such resignation by the Trust Advisor shall become effective until the replacement Trust Advisor shall have assumed the Trust Advisor’s responsibilities and obligations. The resigning Trust Advisor shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of each party to this Agreement, the Trust and each Rating Agency and Pari Passu Companion Loan Rating Agency in connection with the resignation of the Trust Advisor and the transfer of its duties (including, but not limited to, reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses associated with higher market fees of a successor, transferring related information, records and reports to the successor).

 

(r)            If the Trust Advisor resigns, is discharged or is otherwise terminated for any reason it shall remain entitled to any accrued and unpaid fees, Trust Advisor Expenses, indemnification amounts, and rights to indemnification which shall be payable in accordance with the priorities and subject to the limitations set forth herein including, without limitation, Section 4.05 hereof.

 

(s)            Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, the parties hereto agree, and the Certificateholders by their acceptance of their Certificates shall be deemed to have agreed, that (i) there could be multiple strategies to resolve any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and that the goal of the Trust Advisor’s participation is to provide monitoring (subject to, and in accordance with, the provisions of this Agreement) relating to the Special Servicer’s compliance with the Servicing Standard in making its determinations as to which strategy to execute, (ii) the Trust Advisor shall have no liability to any Certificateholder or any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders for any actions taken or for refraining from taking any actions under this Agreement, (iii) the agreements of the Trust Advisor set forth in the other provisions of this Agreement shall be construed solely as agreements to perform analytical and reporting services, (iv) the Trust Advisor shall have no authority or duty to make a determination on behalf of the Trust Fund, nor have any responsibility for decisions made by or on behalf of the Trust Fund, (v) insofar as the words “consult”, “recommend” or words of similar import are used in this Agreement in respect of the Trust Advisor and any servicing action or inaction, such words shall be construed to mean the performance of analysis and reporting services, which the Special Servicer may determine not to accept, (vi) the absence of a response by the Trust Advisor to an Asset Status Report or other matter in which this Agreement contemplates consultation with the Trust Advisor shall not be construed as an approval, endorsement, acquiescence or recommendation for or against any proposed action (but, in the event of such absence of a response, the Special Servicer (x) shall be deemed to have complied with the relevant provision that otherwise required consultation with the Trust Advisor and (y) shall be entitled to proceed as if consultation with the Trust Advisor had not initially been required in connection with such Asset Status Report or other matter), (vii) any provision hereof that otherwise purports, or that may be construed, to impose on the Trust Advisor a duty to

 

293
 

 

consider the Servicing Standard or the interests of the Certificateholders shall be construed as a requirement to use the Servicing Standard or such interests as the basis of measurement in its analysis and reporting and the basis of measurement in its evaluation of the performance of the Special Servicer and its determination of whether an action, recommendation or report by the Special Servicer is in compliance with this Agreement, and not to impose on the Trust Advisor a duty to itself comply with the Servicing Standard or itself act in the interests of the Certificateholders, and, if applicable, the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s), and such basis of measurement shall be construed to refer to no particular class of Certificates or particular Certificateholders, (viii) no other party to this Agreement, and no Subordinate Class Representative, shall have any duty to monitor or supervise the performance by the Trust Advisor of its services under this Agreement; (ix) in no event shall the Trust Advisor be liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder due to force majeure or acts of God; provided that such failure or delay is not also a result of its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct; and (x) the Trust Advisor is not an “investment adviser” within the meaning of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. For the avoidance of doubt, the Trust Advisor shall not owe any fiduciary duty to any Person in connection with this Agreement.

 

(t)           The Trust Advisor shall not make any principal investment in any Certificate or interest therein; provided that such prohibition shall not be construed to have been violated (i) in connection with riskless principal transactions effected by a broker-dealer Affiliate of the Trust Advisor or (ii) pursuant to investments by an Affiliate of the Trust Advisor if the Trust Advisor and such Affiliate maintain policies and procedures designed to segregate personnel involved in the activities of the Trust Advisor under this Agreement from personnel involved in such Affiliate’s investment activities and to prevent such Affiliate and its personnel from gaining access to information regarding the Trust Fund and the Trust Advisor and its personnel from gaining access to such Affiliate’s information regarding its investment activities.

 

(u)          The Trust Advisor shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not, to enter into any transaction as a result of which (i) the Special Servicer or any Affiliate thereof would be obligated, whether by agreement or otherwise, and whether or not subject to any condition or contingency, to pay any fee to, or otherwise compensate or grant monetary or other consideration to, the Trust Advisor or any Affiliate thereof (other than compensation to which the Trust Advisor is entitled hereunder) (x) in connection with the Trust Advisor’s obligations under this Agreement or (y) in consideration of the appointment or continuation of such Person as the Special Servicer, (ii) the Special Servicer would be entitled to receive any compensation from the Trust Advisor in connection with its activities under this Agreement or (iii) the Special Servicer would be entitled to receive from the Trust Advisor or any Affiliate thereof any fee in connection with the appointment or continuation of such Person as Special Servicer unless, in the case of each of the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii), such transaction has been expressly approved by the Holders of Certificates representing 100% of the Voting Rights.

 

(v)          Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Trust Advisor shall have no duty with respect to any Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan, or the assessment of the actions of the Special Servicer under this Agreement or any applicable Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement or Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement taken with respect to any such mortgage loan.

 

294
 

 

Section 3.29     Delivery of Excluded Information to the Certificate Administrator. Any Excluded Information that the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trust Advisor identifies and delivers to the Certificate Administrator shall be delivered to the Certificate Administrator via e-mail to cmbsexcludedinformation@wellsfargo.com (or via such other electronic means as is mutually acceptable to the parties) in one or more separate files labeled “Excluded Controlling Class Loan” followed by the applicable loan name and loan file. For the avoidance of doubt, any information that is not appropriately labeled and delivered in accordance with this Section 3.29 shall not be separately posted as Excluded Information on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, and any information appropriately labeled and delivered to the Certificate Administrator pursuant to this Section shall be posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website under the “Excluded Information” section, as provided under Section 8.12(b). When so posted, Excluded Controlling Class Holders shall not be entitled to receive access to such information. However, a Subordinate Class Certificateholder shall be entitled to receive, request and review any Excluded Information relating to any Excluded Controlling Class Loan with respect to which such Subordinate Class Certificateholder is not a Borrower Party and, if such Excluded Information is not available on the Certificate Administrator’s Website, such Subordinate Class Certificateholder that is not a Borrower Party with respect to the related Excluded Controlling Class Loan shall be permitted to obtain such information in accordance with Section 4.02(a)(iv) of this Agreement.

 

Section 3.30     General Acknowledgement Regarding Non-Serviced Companion Loan Holders. Each Certificateholder acknowledges and agrees, by its acceptance of its Certificates, that: (i) each Non-Serviced Companion Loan Holder may have special relationships and interests that conflict with those of Holders of one or more Classes of Certificates; (ii) each Non-Serviced Companion Loan Holder may act solely in its own interests; (iii) each Non-Serviced Companion Loan Holder shall not have any duties to the Holders of any Class of Certificates; and (iv) each Non-Serviced Companion Loan Holder shall not have any liability whatsoever for having so acted in its own interests, and no Certificateholder may take any action whatsoever against any Non-Serviced Companion Loan Holder or any director, officer, employee, agent or principal thereof for such Non-Serviced Companion Loan Holder’s having so acted in its own interests.

 

Section 3.31     Matters Regarding the Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loans. (a)In the event that any Non-Trust Trustee, Non-Trust Master Servicer or Non-Trust Special Servicer shall be replaced in accordance with the terms of the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall acknowledge any such successor as the successor to such Non-Trust Trustee, Non-Trust Master Servicer or Non-Trust Special Servicer, as the case may be, and shall, upon receiving notice of the same, notify the Trustee regarding such replacement.

 

(b)          If any of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Master Servicer receive notice from a Rating Agency that the Master Servicer is no longer an “approved” master servicer by any of the Rating Agencies rating the Certificates, then the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Master Servicer, as applicable, shall promptly notify the related Non-Trust Master Servicer of the same.

 

295
 

 

Section 3.32     Litigation Control. (a) The Special Servicer shall, with respect to litigation involving Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, and the Master Servicer shall, with respect to litigation involving non-Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans, and, in either case, if the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, contemplates availing itself of indemnification as provided for under Section 6.03 of this Agreement, such servicer shall, for the benefit of the Certificateholders, direct, manage, prosecute, defend and/or settle any and all claims and litigation relating to (i) the enforcement of the obligations of a Borrower under the related Mortgage Loan Documents and (ii) any action brought against the Trust or any party to this Agreement with respect to the servicing of any such Mortgage Loan (the foregoing rights and obligations, “Litigation Control”). Such Litigation Control shall be carried out in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Servicing Standard. Upon becoming aware of or being named in any claim or litigation that falls within the scope of Litigation Control and is of a material nature (a “Material Litigation Control Matter”), the Special Servicer or Master Servicer shall promptly notify the Subordinate Class Representative (during a Subordinate Control Period or Collective Consultation Period and other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan) and the Trust Advisor (during any Collective Consultation Period and any Senior Consultation Period) of such claim or litigation.

 

(b)          In connection with any Material Litigation Control Matter, the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer, as applicable, shall submit any decision to commence any proceeding or similar action in a Material Litigation Control Matter or any decision to agree to or propose any terms of settlement in a Material Litigation Control Matter to the Subordinate Class Representative (during a Subordinate Control Period and other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan) for its approval or consent (or its deemed approval or deemed consent as provided below) and provide notice of any such decision to the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder if such matter affects the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan. Subject to Section 3.32(e), if and as applicable, the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, shall not take any action implementing any such decision described in the preceding sentence unless and until it has notified in writing the Subordinate Class Representative (during a Subordinate Control Period or Collective Consultation Period and other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan) and the Subordinate Class Representative (during a Subordinate Control Period and other than with respect to any related Excluded Loan) has not objected in writing within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such notice and receipt of all information that the Subordinate Class Representative has reasonably requested with respect thereto promptly following its receipt of such notice. If such written objection has not been received by the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, within such 5 Business Day period, then the Subordinate Class Representative shall be deemed to have approved the taking of such action; provided that, if the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, determines (consistent with the Servicing Standard) that immediate action is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders and, with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination, the related Companion Loan Holders, the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, may take such action without waiting for the Subordinate Class Representative’s response; provided that the Special Servicer or Master Servicer, as applicable, has confirmation that the Subordinate Class Representative has received notice of such action in writing. Nothing in this Section 3.32 shall be construed to alter, modify, limit or expand the Trust Advisor’s duties, rights and obligations in this Agreement, including, without limitation, in Sections 3.24, 3.28, 6.03 and 6.05, and the Trust Advisor shall not be required to review the actions of the Special Servicer

 

296
 

 

with respect to the Special Servicer’s Litigation Control unless such review is otherwise related to the performance of the Trust Advisor’s duties, rights and obligations in respect of a Final Asset Status Report and/or Asset Status Report.

 

(c)          Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, with respect to any Material Litigation Control Matter otherwise required to be exercised hereunder by the Master Servicer relating to a Mortgage Loan or Loan Combination (in each case, other than with respect to any Excluded Loan with respect to which the Subordinate Class Representative is a Borrower Party) that has either (i) been satisfied or paid in full, or (ii) as to which a Final Recovery Determination has been made, but subject to Section 3.32(d), after receiving the required notice from the Master Servicer set forth above that the Master Servicer became aware of or was named in any such claims or litigation, the Subordinate Class Representative (during a Subordinate Control Period) may direct the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer in writing that such Litigation Control nevertheless be exercised by the Special Servicer; provided, however, that the Special Servicer (with the consent of the Subordinate Class Representative (during a Subordinate Control Period)) has determined and advised the Master Servicer (and the Master Servicer has reasonably concurred) that its actions with respect to such obligations are indemnifiable under Section 6.03 hereof, and accordingly, any loss, liability or expense (including legal fees and expenses incurred up until such date of transfer of Litigation Control to the Special Servicer) arising from the related legal action or claim underlying such Litigation Control and not otherwise paid to the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 6.03 of this Agreement shall be payable by the Trust Fund; provided, further, so as long as the Trust Fund and any applicable Other Trustee are fully indemnified and/or made whole with respect to the related legal action or claim underlying such Litigation Control from recoveries with respect to such legal action or claim, the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder shall be reimbursed up to the amount of compensation paid to the Special Servicer for assuming and handling such Litigation Control but only to the extent that such recoveries exceed the amount necessary to fully indemnify and make the Trust Fund whole.

 

(d)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if any action, suit, litigation or proceeding names the Trustee, the Trust Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer (if such party does not have Litigation Control) or the Special Servicer (if such party does not have Litigation Control) in their individual capacity, or if any judgment is rendered against the Trustee, the Trust Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer (if such party does not have Litigation Control) or the Special Servicer (if such party does not have Litigation Control) in their individual capacity, the Trustee, the Trust Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer (if such party does not have Litigation Control) or the Special Servicer (if such party does not have Litigation Control), as the case may be, upon prior written notice to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable (i.e., whichever has Litigation Control), may retain counsel and appear in any such proceeding on its own behalf in order to protect and represent its interests (but not to direct, manage or prosecute such litigation or claim); (ii) in any action, suit, litigation or proceeding, other than an action, suit, litigation or proceeding relating to the enforcement of the obligations of a Borrower under the related loan documents or otherwise relating to the servicing of a Mortgage Loan, Loan Combination or Mortgaged Property, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall, without the prior written consent of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, (A) initiate any action, suit, litigation or proceeding in the name of the Trustee or the Certificate

297
 

 

Administrator, whether in such capacity or individually, (B) engage counsel to represent the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, or (C) prepare, execute or deliver any government filings, forms, permits, registrations or other documents or take any other similar action with the intent to cause, and that actually causes, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator to be registered to do business in any state (provided that neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be responsible for any delay due to the unwillingness of the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, to grant such consent); and (iii) if any court finds that the Trustee, the Trust Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer (if such party does not have Litigation Control) or the Special Servicer (if such party does not have Litigation Control) is a necessary party in respect of any action, suit, litigation or proceeding relating to or arising from this Agreement or any Mortgage Loan or Loan Combination, the Trustee, the Trust Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall each have the right to retain counsel and appear in any such proceeding on its own behalf in order to protect and represent its interest (but not to otherwise direct, manage or prosecute such litigation or claim). Subject to the rights of the Subordinate Class Representative under this Section 3.32, nothing in this paragraph shall be interpreted to preclude either the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, from initiating any Litigation Control-related action, suit, litigation or proceeding in its name as a representative of the Trust Fund.

(e)           Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no advice, direction, objection of, or consent given or withheld by the Subordinate Class Representative shall (i) require or cause the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer to violate any provision of any Mortgage Loan Documents, any related Intercreditor Agreement, any related intercreditor, co-lender or similar agreement, applicable law, this Agreement or the REMIC Provisions, including without limitation, the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard and the related Mortgage Loan Documents, and to maintain the REMIC status of any Trust REMIC, (ii) result in the imposition of a tax on any Trust REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or cause any REMIC Pool to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the Grantor Trust to fail to qualify as a grantor trust under subpart E, part I of subchapter J of the Code for federal income tax purposes, (iii) expose the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Trust Advisor, the Trust Fund or the Trustee or any of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, shareholders, partners, members, managers, employees or agents to any claim, suit, or liability for which this Agreement does not provide indemnification to such party or expose any such party to prosecution for a criminal offense, or (iv) materially expand the scope of the Special Servicer’s, the Master Servicer’s, the Certificate Administrator’s, the Trustee’s or the Trust Advisor’s responsibilities under this Agreement; and neither the Special Servicer nor the Master Servicer shall follow any such advice, direction or objection if given by the Subordinate Class Representative, or initiate any such actions, that would have the effect described in clauses (i)-(iv) of this sentence.

Notwithstanding any contrary provision described above, if (I) as of the commencement of business on such Distribution Date, (i) any Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4 or Class A-SB Certificate remains outstanding and (ii) the aggregate of the Class Principal Balances of the Class A-S Regular Interest, Class B Regular Interest and Class C Regular Interest and the Class D, Class E, Class F and Class G Certificates have previously been reduced to zero as a result of the allocation of Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund Expenses pursuant to Section 4.04(a), or (II) such Distribution Date is the Final Distribution Date, then, in each case, the Certificate Administrator shall, in lieu of the distributions otherwise required under clause (2) above, make distributions of principal to the Holders of the Classes of the Class A Certificates, up to an amount (not to exceed the aggregate of the Class Principal Balances of such Classes of Certificates outstanding immediately prior to such Distribution Date) equal to, and pro rata as among such Holders of such Classes in accordance with their Class Principal Balances outstanding immediately prior to such Distribution Date, the entire Principal Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date.

Such distributions shall be made to the Holders of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4 and Class A-SB Certificates (on a pro rata basis based on the write-offs previously experienced by such Classes in respect of Trust Advisor Expenses (other than Designated Trust Advisor Expenses)), and then to the Holders of the Class A-S Regular Interest, Class B Regular Interest and Class C Regular Interest, and Class D Certificates, in that order, in each case up to the amount of such write-offs previously experienced by such Class in respect of Trust Advisor Expenses (other than Designated Trust Advisor Expenses) under such Section 4.05. Any amounts in respect of recoveries of Trust Advisor Expenses distributed in respect of the Class A-S Regular Interest, Class B Regular Interest or Class C Regular Interest for any Distribution Date shall be distributed (i) in the case of the Class A-S Regular Interest, between the Class A-S Certificates and Class A-S-PEX Component in accordance with the Class A-S Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date and the Class A-S-PEX Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date, respectively, (ii) in the case of the Class B Regular Interest, between the Class B Certificates and Class B-PEX Component in accordance with the Class B Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date and the Class B-PEX Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date, respectively, and (iii) in the case of the Class C Regular Interest, between the Class C Certificates and Class C-PEX Component in accordance with the Class C Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date and the Class C-PEX Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date, respectively.

(c)           Funds on deposit in the Distribution Account on each Distribution Date that represent Prepayment Premiums or Yield Maintenance Charges Received by the Trust with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan during the related Collection Period, in each case net of any Liquidation Fees payable therefrom, shall be distributable as follows: 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 shall pay a portion of that Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium (net of Liquidation Fees payable therefrom) in the following manner: (1) to each of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-SB and Class D Certificates and Class A-S, Class B and Class C Regular Interests, the product of (x) such Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium, (y) the related Base Interest Fraction for such Class of Certificates or REMIC III Regular Interest, as the case may be, and (z) a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the amount of principal distributed to such Class of Certificates or REMIC III Regular Interest for that Distribution Date, and the denominator of which is the total amount of principal distributed to all Principal Balance Certificates (other than the Exchangeable Certificates) and REMIC III Regular Interests for that Distribution Date, (2) to the Class X-A Certificates, the excess, if any, of (x) 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-3, Class A-4, Class A-SB Certificates and Class A-S Regular Interest for that Distribution Date, and the denominator of which is the total amount of principal distributed to all Principal Balance Certificates (other than the Exchangeable Certificates) and REMIC III Regular Interests for that Distribution Date, over (y) the amount of such Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium distributed to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-SB Certificates and Class A-S Regular Interest as described above, and (3) to the Class X-B Certificates, any remaining such Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium not distributed pursuant to clause (1) of this Section 4.01(c). No Prepayment Premiums or Yield Maintenance Charges will be distributed to the Holders of the Class X-D, Class E, Class F, Class G or Class R Certificates. Any funds distributed on any such Class of Certificates or REMIC III Regular Interest in respect of any Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge pursuant to this Section 4.01(c) shall constitute an “Additional Yield Amount” for such Class.

Any distributions of Yield Maintenance Charges and Prepayment Premiums in respect of the Class A-S Regular Interest, Class B Regular Interest or Class C Regular Interest on any Distribution Date shall be distributed (i) in the case of the Class A-S Regular Interest, between the Class A-S Certificates and Class A-S-PEX Component in accordance with the Class A-S Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date and the Class A-S-PEX Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date, respectively, (ii) in the case of the Class B Regular Interest, between the Class B Certificates and Class B-PEX Component in accordance with the Class B Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date and the Class B-PEX Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date, respectively, and (iii) in the case of the Class C Regular Interest, between the Class C Certificates and Class C-PEX Component in accordance with the Class C Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date and the Class C-PEX Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date, respectively.

For purposes of the second preceding paragraph, the relevant “Base Interest Fraction” in connection with any Principal Prepayment of any Mortgage Loan that provides for the payment

305
 

 

of a Yield Maintenance Charge or Prepayment Premium, and with respect to any Class of Principal Balance Certificates (other than the Exchangeable Certificates) and the Class A-S Regular Interest, Class B Regular Interest and Class C Regular Interest, shall be a fraction (A) the numerator of which is the greater of (x) zero and (y) the difference between (i) the Pass-Through Rate on such Class or the Class A-S Regular Interest, Class B Regular Interest or Class C Regular Interest, as applicable, for the related Distribution Date, and (ii) the applicable Discount Rate and (B) the denominator of which is the difference between (i) the Mortgage Rate on such Mortgage Loan and (ii) the applicable Discount Rate; provided that: (a) under no circumstances will the Base Interest Fraction be greater than 1.0; (b) if the applicable Discount Rate is greater than or equal to the Mortgage Rate on such Mortgage Loan and is greater than or equal to the Pass-Through Rate on such Class for the related Distribution Date, then the Base Interest Fraction will equal zero; and (c) if the applicable Discount Rate is greater than or equal to the Mortgage Rate on such Mortgage Loan and is less than the Pass-Through Rate on such Class for the related Distribution Date, then the Base Interest Fraction shall be equal to 1.0. If a Mortgage Loan provides for a step-up in the Mortgage Rate, then the Mortgage Rate used in the determination of the Base Interest Fraction will be the Mortgage Rate in effect at the time of the prepayment.

For purposes of the preceding paragraph, the relevant “Discount Rate” in connection with any Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge collected on any prepaid Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan and distributable on any Distribution Date shall be a rate per annum equal to (i) if a discount rate was used in the calculation of the applicable Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge pursuant to the terms of the relevant Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan, as the case may be, such discount rate (as reported by the Master Servicer), converted (if necessary) to a monthly equivalent yield, or (ii) if a discount rate was not used in the calculation of the applicable Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge pursuant to the terms of the relevant Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan, as the case may be, the yield calculated by the linear interpolation of the yields (as reported under the heading “U.S. Government Securities/Treasury Constant Maturities” in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519) published by the Federal Reserve Board for the week most recently ended before 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 related Stated Maturity Date (in the case of a Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan that is not related to an ARD Mortgage Loan) or the related Anticipated Repayment Date (in the case of a Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan that is related to an ARD Mortgage Loan), such interpolated yield converted to a monthly equivalent yield. If Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519) is no longer published, the Certificate Administrator shall select a comparable publication as the source of the applicable yields of U.S. Treasury constant maturities.

(d)           [Reserved.]

(e)           All distributions made with respect to each Class of Certificates on each Distribution Date shall be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates in such Class based on their respective Percentage Interests. Except as otherwise provided below, all such distributions with respect to each Class of Certificates on each Distribution Date shall be made to the Certificateholders of the respective Class of record at the close of business on the related Record Date and shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of

306
 

any such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder shall have provided the Certificate Administrator with wiring instructions no less than five (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 Distribution Dates), or otherwise by check mailed to the address of such Certificateholder as it appears in the Certificate Register. The final distribution on each Certificate (determined, in the case of a Principal Balance Certificate, without regard to any possible future reimbursement of any Realized Loss or Additional Trust Fund Expense previously allocated to such Certificate pursuant to Section 4.04(a)) will be made in a like manner, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar or such other location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution. Prior to any termination of the Trust Fund pursuant to Section 9.01, any distribution that is to be made with respect to a Certificate in reimbursement of a Realized Loss or Additional Trust Fund Expense previously allocated thereto, which reimbursement is to occur after the date on which such Certificate is surrendered as contemplated by the preceding sentence, will be made by check mailed to the address of the Certificateholder that surrendered such Certificate as such address last appeared in the Certificate Register or to any other address of which the Certificate Administrator was subsequently notified in writing. If such check is returned to the Certificate Administrator, then the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such reasonable steps to contact the related Holder and deliver such check as it shall deem appropriate. Any funds in respect of a check returned to the Certificate Administrator shall be set aside by the Certificate Administrator and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account of the appropriate Holder. The costs and expenses of locating the appropriate Holder and holding such funds shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any former Holder on any amount held in trust hereunder. If the Certificate Administrator has not, after having taken such reasonable steps, located the related Holder by the second anniversary of the initial sending of a check, the Certificate Administrator shall, subject to applicable law, distribute the unclaimed funds to the Class R Certificateholders.

(f)          Each distribution with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate shall be paid to the Depository, as Holder thereof, and the Depository shall be responsible for crediting the amount of such distribution to the accounts of its Depository Participants in accordance with its normal procedures. Each Depository Participant shall be responsible for disbursing such distribution to the related Certificate Owners that it represents and to each indirect participating brokerage firm for which it acts as agent. Each indirect participating brokerage firm shall be responsible for disbursing funds to the related Certificate Owners that it represents. None of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, the Trust Advisor, the Depositor, the Special Servicer or the Master Servicer shall have any responsibility therefor except as otherwise provided by this Agreement or applicable law. The Certificate Administrator and the Depositor shall perform their respective obligations under the letters of representation between the Issuer and the initial Depository dated as of the Closing Date and pertaining to the Book-Entry Certificates, a copy of which Letters of Representations are attached hereto as Exhibit B.

(g)          The rights of the Certificateholders to receive distributions from the proceeds of the Trust Fund with respect to the Certificates, and all rights and interests of the Certificateholders in and to such distributions, shall be as set forth in this Agreement. Neither the Holders of any Class of Certificates nor any party hereto shall in any way be responsible or

307
 

 

liable to the Holders of any other Class of Certificates with respect to amounts properly previously distributed on the Certificates.

(h)          Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01, whenever the Certificate Administrator receives written notification of or expects that the final distribution with respect to any Class of Certificates (determined, in the case of a Class of Principal Balance Certificates or the Class A-S Regular Interest, Class B Regular Interest or Class C Regular Interest, without regard to any possible future reimbursement of any Realized Loss or Additional Trust Fund Expense previously allocated to such Class of Certificates pursuant to Section 4.04(a)) will be made on the next Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall, no later than the second Business Day prior to such Distribution Date, mail to each Holder of record of such Class of Certificates on such date (with a copy to be posted to the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 8.12(b)) a notice to the effect that:

(i)          the Certificate Administrator expects that the final distribution with respect to such Class of Certificates will be made on such Distribution Date but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificates at the office of the Certificate Registrar or at such other location therein specified, and

(ii)         no interest shall accrue on such Certificates from and after the end of the Interest Accrual Period for such Distribution Date.

Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or Holders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to this Section 4.01(h) shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six (6) months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, then the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such non-tendering Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice thereto shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any former Holder on any amount held in trust pursuant to this paragraph. If all of the Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to this Section 4.01(h) shall not have been surrendered for cancellation by the second anniversary of the delivery of the second notice, the Certificate Administrator shall, subject to applicable law, distribute to the Class R Certificateholders all unclaimed funds and other assets which remain subject thereto.

(i)              All distributions made in respect of each Class of Principal Balance Certificates (other than the Class A-S, Class B, Class C and Class PEX Certificates) and the Class A-S Regular Interest, Class B Regular Interest and Class C Regular Interest on each Distribution Date (including the Final Distribution Date) pursuant to Section 4.01(a) or Section 4.01(c) above shall

308
 

 

be deemed to have first been distributed from REMIC II to REMIC III with respect to the Corresponding REMIC II Regular Interest(s) for such Class of Principal Balance Certificates or the Class A-S Regular Interest, Class B Regular Interest or Class C Regular Interest; and all distributions made with respect to each Class of Interest Only Certificates on each Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01(a) or Section 4.01(c) above, and allocable to any particular REMIC III Component of such Class of Interest Only Certificates, shall be deemed to have first been distributed from REMIC II to REMIC III in respect of the Corresponding REMIC II Regular Interest for such REMIC III Component. In each case, if such distribution on any such Class of Certificates was a distribution of accrued interest, of principal, of additional interest (in the form of one or more Additional Yield Amounts) or in reimbursement of any Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund Expenses previously allocated to a Class of Principal Balance Certificates or the Class A-S Regular Interest, Class B Regular Interest or Class C Regular Interest, then the corresponding distribution deemed to be made on a REMIC II Regular Interest pursuant to the preceding sentence (and, if applicable the next paragraph) shall be deemed to also be, respectively, a distribution of accrued interest, of principal, of additional interest (in the form of one or more Additional Yield Amounts) or in reimbursement of any Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund Expenses previously allocated to REMIC III in respect of such REMIC II Regular Interest.

The actual distributions made by the Certificate Administrator on each Distribution Date in respect of the Regular Certificates and the Class A-S Regular Interest, Class B Regular Interest and Class C Regular Interest pursuant to Section 4.01(a) or Section 4.01(c) above, as applicable, shall be deemed to have been so made from the amounts deemed distributed with respect to the REMIC II Regular Interests on such Distribution Date pursuant to this Section 4.01(i). Notwithstanding the deemed distributions on the REMIC II Regular Interests described in this Section 4.01(i), actual distributions of funds from the Distribution Account shall be made only in accordance with Section 4.01(a) or Section 4.01(c) above, as applicable.

(j)           On each Distribution Date, including the Final Distribution Date, the Available Distribution Amount for such date shall be deemed to have first been distributed from REMIC I to REMIC II in respect of the REMIC I Regular Interests, in each case to the extent of the remaining portions of such funds, for the following purposes and in the following order of priority:

(i)          as deemed distributions of interest with respect to all the REMIC I Regular Interests, up to an amount equal to, and pro rata in accordance with, all Uncertificated Distributable Interest with respect to each REMIC I Regular Interest for such Distribution Date and, to the extent not previously deemed distributed, for all prior Distribution Dates;

(ii)         as deemed distributions of principal with respect to all the REMIC I Regular Interests, up to an amount equal to, and pro rata in accordance with, as to each such REMIC I Regular Interest, the portion of the Principal Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date attributable to the related Mortgage Loan(s) or REO Mortgage Loan(s); and

309
 

 

(iii)        as deemed distributions with respect to all the REMIC I Regular Interests, up to an amount equal to, pro rata in accordance with, and in reimbursement of, any Realized Losses, Additional Trust Fund Expenses and Trust Advisor Expenses previously allocated to each such REMIC I Regular Interest (with compounded interest).

The portion of each Prepayment Premium and Yield Maintenance Charge that is distributed to any Class of Regular Certificates or the Class A-S Regular Interest, Class B Regular Interest or Class C Regular Interest on any Distribution Date shall, in each case, be deemed to have been distributed from REMIC I to REMIC II in respect of the REMIC I Regular Interest(s) corresponding to the prepaid Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan, as the case may be, in respect of which such Prepayment Premium or Yield Maintenance Charge was received or deemed received.

The actual distributions made by the Certificate Administrator on each Distribution Date in respect of the Regular Certificates or the Class A-S Regular Interest, Class B Regular Interest or Class C Regular Interest pursuant to Section 4.01(a) or Section 4.01(c) above, as applicable, shall be deemed to have been so made from the amounts deemed distributed with respect to the REMIC I Regular Interests on such Distribution Date pursuant to this Section 4.01(j). Notwithstanding the deemed distributions on the REMIC I Regular Interests described in this Section 4.01(j), actual distributions of funds from the Distribution Account shall be made only in accordance with Section 4.01(a) or Section 4.01(c) above, as applicable.

The Certificate Administrator shall have no obligation to provide the information or reports described in this Section 4.02(a) until it has received the requisite information or reports from the Master Servicer provided for herein, and the Certificate Administrator shall not be in default hereunder due to a delay in providing such information and reports caused by the failure of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to timely deliver any information or reports hereunder. None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for the accuracy or completeness of any information supplied to it by a Borrower, each other or a third party, and accepted by it in good faith, that is included in any reports, statements, materials or information prepared or provided by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable.

If, with respect to any Performing Serviced Mortgage Loan, the Special Servicer has any questions for the related Borrower based upon the information delivered to the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.12(a) or this Section 4.02(d), the Master Servicer shall, in this regard and without otherwise changing or modifying its duties hereunder, reasonably cooperate with the Special Servicer in assisting the Special Servicer in the Special Servicer’s efforts to contact and solicit information from such Borrower.

In addition, the Special Servicer shall from time to time provide the Master Servicer with such information in the Special Servicer’s possession regarding any Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan or Administered REO Property as may be requested by the Master Servicer and is reasonably necessary for the Master Servicer to prepare each report and any supplemental information required to be provided by the Master Servicer to the Certificate Administrator. The Special Servicer, subject to the limitations on delivery of Privileged Communications, shall deliver to the Trust Advisor such reports and other information produced or otherwise available to the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder, or Certificateholders generally, requested by the Trust Advisor in support of its obligations under this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall not be required to prepare and deliver any of such files or reports with respect to the initial Determination Date following the Closing Date.

The Master Servicer may, but is not required to, make any of the reports or files comprising the CREFC® Investor Reporting Package prepared by it available each month on the Master Servicer’s internet website only with the use of a password, in which case the Master Servicer shall provide such password to (i) the other parties to this Agreement, who by their acceptance of such password shall be deemed to have agreed not to disclose such password to any other Person, (ii) the Subordinate Class Representative, and (iii) each Certificateholder and Certificate Owner who requests such password, provided that (A) the Master Servicer shall not have such authority to the extent such disclosure would violate another provision of this Agreement (including without limitation, any prohibitions on dissemination of any confidential information, including, without limitation, any Privileged Information), applicable law or the related Mortgage Loan Documents and (B) any such Certificateholder or Certificate Owner, as the case may be, has delivered a certification substantially in the form of Exhibit K-1A or Exhibit K-1B, as applicable, to the Certificate Administrator (with a copy to the Master Servicer).

The Master Servicer may, absent manifest error, conclusively rely on the file to be provided by the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 4.02(e). The Certificate Administrator may, absent manifest error, conclusively rely on the reports to be provided by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 4.02(c) and Section 4.02(f). To the extent that any report to be prepared and provided to the Certificate Administrator and/or the Subordinate Class Representative by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 4.02(c), Section 4.02(d) or Section 4.02(f) is dependent on information from the Special Servicer or a party under a Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Special Servicer or such party under a Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as the case may be) has not timely provided such information to the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer shall on a timely basis provide to the Certificate Administrator, the Subordinate Class Representative as complete a report as the information provided by the Special Servicer or such party under a Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as the case may be) permits and shall promptly update and provide to the Certificate Administrator and the Subordinate Class Representative a complete report when the Special Servicer or such party under a Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement (as the case may be) provides the Master Servicer with the requisite missing information; and the Master Servicer shall not be in breach hereunder for so providing an incomplete report under Section 4.02(c), Section 4.02(d) or Section 4.02(f) under the foregoing circumstances. Furthermore, if any report to be provided to the Certificate Administrator and/or the Subordinate Class Representative by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 4.02(c), Section 4.02(d) or Section 4.02(f) was to be prepared by the Special Servicer and delivered to the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer shall not be in breach by reason of any delay in its delivery of such report to the Certificate Administrator, the Subordinate Class Representative and/or the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder by reason of a delay on the part of the Special Servicer; and the Master Servicer shall deliver as promptly as reasonably practicable to the Certificate Administrator, the Subordinate Class Representative and the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder any such report that it receives from the Special Servicer after the requisite delivery date.

Payments) and any Assumed Monthly Payments, in each case net of any related Master Servicing Fees (and, in the case of a Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan that is a successor thereto, the Non-Trust Primary Servicing Fee and Non-Trust Trust Advisor fee payable under the related Non-Trust Pooling and Servicing Agreement), due or deemed due and net of any Post-ARD Additional Interest, as the case may be, in respect of the Mortgage Loans and any successor REO Mortgage Loans with respect thereto on their respective Due Dates occurring in the month in which such Distribution Date occurs, in each case to the extent such amount was not Received by the Trust as of the close of business on the related Determination Date; provided that, if an Appraisal Reduction Amount exists with respect to any Required Appraisal Loan, then the interest portion of any P&I Advance required to be made in respect of such Required Appraisal Loan for the related Distribution Date shall be reduced (it being herein acknowledged that there shall be no reduction in the principal portion of such P&I Advance) to equal the product of (i) the amount of the interest portion of such P&I Advance that would otherwise be required to be made in respect of such Required Appraisal Loan for such Distribution Date without regard to this proviso, multiplied by (ii) a fraction, expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which shall equal the Stated Principal Balance of such Required Appraisal Loan immediately prior to such Distribution Date, net of the related Appraisal Reduction Amount, and the denominator of which shall equal the Stated Principal Balance of such Required Appraisal Loan immediately prior to such Distribution Date.

(c)          Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no P&I Advance shall be required to be made hereunder if such P&I Advance would, if made, constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance. The determination by the Master Servicer (or, if applicable, the Trustee) that a prior P&I Advance (or Unliquidated Advance in respect thereof) that it has made constitutes a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, shall be made by such Person subject to the Servicing Standard or, in the case of the Trustee, in its reasonable, good faith judgment. In making such recoverability determination, such Person will be entitled to consider (among other things) the obligations of the Borrower under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan as it may have been modified, to consider (among other things) 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, to estimate and consider (among other things) future expenses and to estimate and consider (among other things) the timing of recoveries. In addition, any such Person may update or change its recoverability determinations at any time and may obtain from the Special Servicer any analysis, Appraisals or market value estimates or other information in the possession of the Special Servicer for such purposes. Any determination by the Master Servicer (or, if applicable, the Trustee) that it has made a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, shall be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Depositor, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Subordinate Class Representative and, if made by the Master Servicer, the Trustee (on or before the related P&I Advance Date in the case of a proposed P&I Advance) and, if such Nonrecoverable P&I Advance is with respect to a Mortgage Loan in any Serviced Loan Combination, the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) or, following the securitization of a related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, the Other Master Servicer (if applicable), setting forth the basis for such determination, accompanied by a copy of an Appraisal of the related Mortgaged Property or REO Property performed within the nine (9) months preceding

321
 

such determination by a Qualified Appraiser, and further accompanied by any other information, including engineers’ reports, environmental surveys or similar reports, that the Person making such determination may have obtained. A copy of any such Officer’s Certificate (and accompanying information) of the Trustee shall also be promptly delivered to the Certificate Administrator, the Subordinate Class Representative, the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder, the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer for the subject Mortgage Loan and, with respect to any Serviced Loan Combination, the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) and the Other Master Servicer (if applicable). Absent bad faith, the Master Servicer’s determination as to the recoverability of any P&I Advance shall be conclusive and binding on the Certificateholders and, in all cases, the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any nonrecoverability determination made by the Master Servicer with respect to a particular P&I Advance. The Special Servicer shall promptly furnish any party required to make P&I Advances hereunder or, in the case of a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, comparable advances under the terms of the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement, with any information in its possession regarding the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loans and REO Properties as such party required to make P&I Advances may reasonably request. The Master Servicer shall consider Unliquidated Advances in respect of prior P&I Advances as outstanding Advances for purposes of recoverability determinations as if such Unliquidated Advance were a P&I Advance.

The Special Servicer for each Mortgage Loan shall also be entitled to make a determination (subject to the same standards and procedures that apply in connection with a determination by the Master Servicer) to the effect that a prior P&I Advance (or Unliquidated Advance in respect thereof) previously made hereunder by the Master Servicer (or, if applicable, the Trustee) constitutes a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance by the Master Servicer (or, if applicable, the Trustee), if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, in which case, after written notice of such determination by the Special Servicer to the Master Servicer and the Trustee, such P&I Advance shall constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance for all purposes of this Agreement and the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall conclusively rely on such determination by the Special Servicer that a P&I Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance; provided that in no event shall a determination by the Special Servicer that a previously made or proposed P&I Advance would be recoverable be binding on the Master Servicer or the Trustee. A copy of any Officer’s Certificate (and accompanying information) of the Special Servicer in support of its determination shall be promptly delivered to the Master Servicer for the subject Mortgage Loan. The Special Servicer may update or change its recoverability determination at any time.

(d)          In the case of each Mortgage Loan, the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall each be entitled to receive interest at the Reimbursement Rate in effect from time to time, accrued on the amount of each P&I Advance made thereby (with its own funds), to the extent that such P&I Advance (i) relates to a Monthly Payment or Assumed Monthly Payment in respect of a Mortgage Loan that is a Past Grace Period Loan or an REO Mortgage Loan when made, in which case such interest shall begin to accrue from the related P&I Advance Date, or (ii) is made with respect to a Within Grace Period Loan and remains outstanding when the subject Mortgage Loan becomes a Past Grace Period Loan in respect of the subject Monthly Payment or Assumed Monthly Payment, in which case such interest shall begin to accrue when the subject Mortgage Loan becomes a Past Grace Period Loan in respect of the subject Monthly Payment or Assumed Monthly Payment, in either case, for so long as such P&I Advance is outstanding (or, in the case

322
 

 

of Advance Interest payable to the Master Servicer, if earlier, until the Late Collection of the delinquent principal and/or interest in respect of which such P&I Advance was made has been Received by the Trust). Such interest with respect to any P&I Advance shall be payable: (i) first, in accordance with Section 3.05 and 3.25, out of any Default Charges subsequently collected on the particular Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan as to which such P&I Advance relates; and (ii) then, after such P&I Advance is reimbursed, but only if and to the extent that such Default Charges are insufficient to cover such Advance Interest, out of general collections on the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties on deposit in the Collection Account. The Master Servicer shall (subject to the operation of Section 3.05(a)(II)) reimburse itself or the Trustee, as applicable, for any outstanding P&I Advance made thereby with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan as soon as practicable after funds available for such purpose are deposited in the Collection Account, and in no event shall interest accrue in accordance with this Section 4.03(d) on any P&I Advance as to which the corresponding Late Collection was received by or on behalf of the Trust as of the related P&I Advance Date.

(e)          With respect to any Serviced Loan Combination, the Master Servicer will be permitted to make its determination that it has made a P&I Advance on the related Mortgage Loan that is a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance with respect to such Mortgage Loan in accordance with Section 4.03(a) independently of any determination made in respect of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, by the related Other Master Servicer. If the Master Servicer determines that a proposed P&I Advance with respect to such Serviced Loan Combination, if made, or any outstanding P&I Advance with respect to any such Mortgage Loan previously made, would be, or is, as applicable, a Nonrecoverable Advance or if the Master Servicer subsequently determines that a proposed Servicing Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance or an outstanding Servicing Advance is or would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, or if the Master Servicer receives written notice from the Special Servicer for such Serviced Loan Combination that the Special Servicer has made such a determination, pursuant to this Section 4.03(e), the Master Servicer shall promptly provide the related Other Master Servicer written notice of such determination. If the Master Servicer receives written notice from any related Other Master Servicer that such Other Master Servicer has determined, with respect to the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, that any proposed advance of principal and/or interest with respect to such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan would be, or any outstanding advance of principal and interest is, a nonrecoverable advance of principal and/or interest, such determination shall not be binding on the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer or the Trustee but each of the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any such nonrecoverability determination.

In connection with any Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan, any determination by the Master Servicer that any P&I Advance made or to be made with respect to such Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan (or any successor REO Mortgage Loan with respect thereto) is or, if made, would be a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance may be made independently from any determinations (or the absence of any determinations) made by the related Non-Trust Master Servicer regarding nonrecoverability of debt service advances on the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan(s).

323
 

 

The Special Servicer, for each Serviced Loan Combination or Non-Trust-Serviced Pooled Mortgage Loan, shall also be entitled to make a determination (subject to the same standards and procedures that apply in connection with a determination by the Master Servicer) to the effect that a prior P&I Advance (or Unliquidated Advance in respect thereof) previously made hereunder by the Master Servicer (or, if applicable, the Trustee) constitutes a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance or that any proposed P&I Advance by the Master Servicer (or, if applicable, the Trustee), if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance, in which case, after written notice of such determination by the Special Servicer to the Master Servicer and the Trustee, such P&I Advance shall constitute a Nonrecoverable P&I Advance for all purposes of this Agreement and the Master Servicer and the Trustee shall conclusively rely on such determination by the Special Servicer that a P&I Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance; provided that in no event shall a determination by the Special Servicer that a previously made or proposed P&I Advance would be recoverable be binding on the Master Servicer or the Trustee. A copy of any Officer’s Certificate (and accompanying information) of the Special Servicer in support of its determination shall be promptly delivered to the Master Servicer for the subject Mortgage Loan. The Special Servicer may update or change its recoverability determination at any time.

(f)           With regard to such P&I Advances, the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall account for that part of the P&I Advances which is attributable to Past Grace Period Loans, and that part of the P&I Advances which is attributable to Within Grace Period Loans.

(g)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no P&I Advances shall be made with respect to any Companion Loan (whether or not it constitutes a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan or otherwise) or any successor REO Mortgage Loan related thereto.

Section 4.04    Allocation of Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund Expenses. (a) On each Distribution Date, following the distributions to Certificateholders to be made on such date pursuant to Section 4.01, the Certificate Administrator shall determine the amount, if any, by which (i) the then-aggregate of the Class Principal Balances of all the Classes of Principal Balance Certificates (other than the Class A-S, Class B, Class C and Class PEX Certificates) and the Class A-S Regular Interest, Class B Regular Interest and Class C Regular Interest, exceeds (ii) the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Pool that will be outstanding immediately following such Distribution Date. If such excess does exist, then, except to the extent that such excess exists because of the reimbursement of Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts (from the principal portions of P&I Advances and/or payments or other collections of principal on the Mortgage Pool pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(II)(iii)) during any prior Collection Period (other than those that were determined to constitute Nonrecoverable Advances in the immediately preceding Collection Period), the Class Principal Balances of the Class G, Class F, Class E and Class D Certificates and the Class C, Class B and Class A-S Regular Interests shall be reduced sequentially, in that order, in each case, until such excess or the related Class Principal Balance is reduced to zero (whichever occurs first). If, after the foregoing reductions, the amount described in clause (i) of the second preceding sentence still exceeds the amount described in clause (ii) of such sentence, then, except to the extent that such excess exists because of the reimbursement of Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts (from the principal portion of P&I Advances and/or payments or other collections of principal on the Mortgage Pool pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(II)(iii)) during any prior Collection Period (other than those that were determined to constitute Nonrecoverable Advances in the immediately preceding

324
 

Collection Period), the respective Class Principal Balances of all the outstanding Classes of the Class A Certificates shall be reduced on a pro rata basis in accordance with the relative sizes of such Class Principal Balances, until any such remaining excess is reduced to zero. All reductions in the Class Principal Balances of the respective Classes of the Principal Balance Certificates and the Class A-S Regular Interest, Class B Regular Interest and Class C Regular Interest under this Section 4.04(a) shall constitute allocations of Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund Expenses. Any reduction in the Class Principal Balance of the Class C Regular Interest, Class B Regular Interest or Class A-S Regular Interest for any Distribution Date pursuant to this Section 4.04(a) shall be allocated (i) in the case of the Class C Regular Interest, between the Class C Certificates and Class C-PEX Component in accordance with the Class C Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date and the Class C-PEX Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date, respectively, (ii) in the case of the Class B Regular Interest, between the Class B Certificates and Class B-PEX Component in accordance with the Class B Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date and the Class B-PEX Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date, respectively and (iii) in the case of the Class A-S Regular Interest, between the Class A-S Certificates and Class A-S-PEX Component in accordance with the Class A-S Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date and the Class A-S-PEX Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date, respectively.

(b)          On each Distribution Date, following the deemed distributions to be made in respect of the REMIC II Regular Interests on such date pursuant to Section 4.01(g), the Certificate Administrator shall determine the amount, if any, by which (i) the then-aggregate Uncertificated Principal Balance of the REMIC II Regular Interests, exceeds (ii) the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Pool that will be outstanding immediately following such Distribution Date. If such excess does exist, then, except to the extent that such excess exists because of the reimbursement of Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts (from the principal portion of P&I Advances and/or payments or other collections of principal on the Mortgage Pool pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(II)(iii)) during the preceding Collection Period, the Uncertificated Principal Balances of REMIC II Regular Interest G, REMIC II Regular Interest F, REMIC II Regular Interest E, REMIC II Regular Interest D, REMIC II Regular Interest C, REMIC II Regular Interest B and REMIC II Regular Interest A-S shall be reduced sequentially, in that order, in each case, until such excess (other than any portion thereof that exists because of the reimbursement of Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts (from the principal portion of P&I Advances and/or payments or other collections of principal on the Mortgage Pool pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(II)(iii)) during the preceding Collection Period) or the related Uncertificated Principal Balance is reduced to zero (whichever occurs first). If, after the foregoing reductions, the amount described in clause (i) of the second preceding sentence still exceeds the amount described in clause (ii) of such sentence, then, except to the extent that such excess exists because of the reimbursement of Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts (from the principal portion of P&I Advances and/or payments or other collections of principal on the Mortgage Pool pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(II)(iii)) during the preceding Collection Period, the Uncertificated Principal Balances of the REMIC II Regular Interest that are the Corresponding REMIC II Regular Interest with respect to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4 and Class A-SB Certificates shall be reduced on a pro rata basis, as among such individual Corresponding REMIC II Regular Interests, in accordance with their Uncertificated Principal Balances, until any such remaining excess is reduced to zero. All reductions in the Uncertificated Principal Balances

325
 

of the respective REMIC II Regular Interests under this Section 4.04(b) shall be deemed to constitute allocations of Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund Expenses.

(c)          On each Distribution Date, if, following the deemed distributions to be made in respect of the REMIC I Regular Interests pursuant to Section 4.01(j), the Uncertificated Principal Balance of any REMIC I Regular Interest, in each case after taking account of such deemed distributions, exceeds the Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan (or, if such REMIC I Regular Interest relates to multiple Replacement Mortgage Loans, the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loans and/or REO Mortgage Loans), as the case may be, that will be outstanding immediately following such Distribution Date, then, except to the extent that such excess exists (taking account of the provisions of the next succeeding sentence) because of the reimbursement of Workout-Delayed Reimbursement Amounts (from the principal portion of P&I Advances and/or payments or other collections of principal on the Mortgage Pool pursuant to Section 3.05(a)(II)(iii)) during the preceding Collection Period, the Uncertificated Principal Balance of such REMIC I Regular Interest shall be reduced to equal such Stated Principal Balance of such related Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan (or, if such REMIC I Regular Interest relates to multiple Replacement Mortgage Loans, the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the related Mortgage Loans and/or REO Mortgage Loans), as the case may be, that will be outstanding immediately following such Distribution Date. For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, the aggregate amount excluded from the aggregate reductions of the Uncertificated Principal Balances of the REMIC I Regular Interests collectively shall equal the amount excluded from the reductions of the Uncertificated Principal Balances of the REMIC II Regular Interests pursuant to Section 4.04(b) above and such aggregate exclusion amount shall be deemed to be allocated among the REMIC I Regular Interests pro rata according to their Stated Principal Balances that, in the absence of such any and all such exclusions, would have been outstanding immediately after such Distribution Date by operation of the immediately preceding sentence. Any reductions in the Uncertificated Principal Balances of the respective REMIC I Regular Interests under this Section 4.04(c) shall be deemed to constitute allocations of Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund Expenses.

Section 4.05     Allocation of Certain Trust Advisor Expenses. (a) On each Distribution Date, immediately prior to the distributions to be made to the Regular Certificates and the Class A-S Regular Interest, Class B Regular Interest and Class C Regular Interest for such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 4.01(a), the Certificate Administrator shall allocate Trust Advisor Expenses (other than Designated Trust Advisor Expenses) to reduce the Unadjusted Distributable Certificate Interest for such Distribution Date for the Class D Certificates, Class C Regular Interest and Class B Regular Interest Certificates, in that order, in each case, until the Unadjusted Distributable Certificate Interest of Class D Certificates, Class C Regular Interest or Class B Regular Interest for such Distribution Date has been reduced to zero. Trust Advisor Expenses (other than Designated Trust Advisor Expenses) shall not be allocated to reduce interest distributable on the Class A Certificates, the Class A-S Regular Interest, the Interest Only Certificates or the Control-Eligible Certificates or any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan.

To the extent that the amount of Trust Advisor Expenses (other than Designated Trust Advisor Expenses) payable with respect to any Distribution Date is greater than the aggregate

326
 

 

amount of Unadjusted Distributable Certificate Interest otherwise distributable to the Class B Regular Interest, Class C Regular Interest and Class D Certificates for such Distribution Date, the resulting Excess Trust Advisor Expenses (other than Designated Trust Advisor Expenses) shall be allocated to reduce the Principal Distribution Amount otherwise allocable to the Principal Balance Certificates that are not Control-Eligible Certificates for such Distribution Date. Such Excess Trust Advisor Expenses (other than Designated Trust Advisor Expenses) shall reduce the Principal Distribution Amount for the Principal Balance Certificates that are not Control-Eligible Certificates for such Distribution Date, and shall be allocated to reduce the Certificate Principal Balances of such Certificates in the following order: to the Class D Certificates, and then to the Class C, Class B and Class A-S Regular Interests, in each case, until the remaining Certificate Principal Balance of such Class of Certificates or Class C, Class B or Class A-S Regular Interest has been reduced to zero. Following the reduction of the Certificate Principal Balances of the foregoing Classes of Principal Balance Certificates and the Class C, Class B and Class A-S Regular Interests to zero, the Certificate Administrator shall allocate any remaining Excess Trust Advisor Expenses (other than Designated Trust Advisor Expenses) among the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4 and Class A-SB Certificates, pro rata (based upon their respective Certificate Principal Balances), until the remaining Certificate Principal Balances of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4 and Class A-SB Certificates, have been reduced to zero. Any Excess Trust Advisor Expenses allocated to the Class C, Class B or Class A-S Regular Interest for any Distribution Date pursuant to this Section 4.05(a) shall be allocated (i) in the case of the Class C Regular Interest, between the Class C Certificates and Class C-PEX Component in accordance with the Class C Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date and the Class C-PEX Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date, respectively, (ii) in the case of the Class B Regular Interest, between the Class B Certificates and Class B-PEX Component in accordance with the Class B Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date and the Class B-PEX Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date, respectively and (iii) in the case of the Class A-S Regular Interest, between the Class A-S Certificates and Class A-S-PEX Component in accordance with the Class A-S Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date and the Class A-S-PEX Percentage Interest for such Distribution Date, respectively.

Any Trust Advisor Expenses (other than Designated Trust Advisor Expenses) or Excess Trust Advisor Expenses (other than Designated Trust Advisor Expenses) allocated to a Class of Certificates that are not Control-Eligible Certificates shall be allocated among the respective Certificates of such Class in proportion to the Percentage Interests evidenced by the respective Certificates. If amounts distributable in respect of the Unadjusted Distributable Certificate Interest to the Class B and Class C Regular Interests and Class D Certificates and otherwise available as the indicated portion of the Principal Distribution Amount are insufficient to reimburse any related Trust Advisor Expenses (other than Designated Trust Advisor Expenses) on a Distribution Date, any unreimbursed Trust Advisor Expenses (other than Designated Trust Advisor Expenses) shall remain unreimbursed until the next Distribution Date that such applicable amounts are available. In no event shall any Trust Advisor Expenses other than Designated Trust Advisor Expenses reduce or delay any principal or interest payable in respect of the Control-Eligible Certificates.

(b)          On any Distribution Date, the amount reimbursable to the Trust Advisor in respect of Trust Advisor Expenses (other than Designated Trust Advisor Expenses) for such

327
 

 

Distribution Date shall not exceed the sum of (i) the portion of the Principal Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date otherwise distributable to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-SB, Class D Certificates and the Class A-S, Class B and Class C Regular Interests and (ii) the aggregate amount of Unadjusted Distributable Certificate Interest (for such purposes, calculated without regard to any reductions pursuant to clause (iv) of the definition of Unadjusted Distributable Certificate Interest as a result of Trust Advisor Expenses (other than Designated Trust Advisor Expenses) for such Distribution Date) that would otherwise be distributable to the Class B and Class C Regular Interests and the Class D Certificates for such Distribution Date. Any amount of Trust Advisor Expenses (other than Designated Trust Advisor Expenses) that are not reimbursed on a Distribution Date shall be payable on the next Distribution Date to the extent funds are sufficient, in accordance with Section 4.05(a), to make such payments.

(c)          To the extent that any actual recoveries of previously-incurred Trust Advisor Expenses (other than Designated Trust Advisor Expenses) are received from a source other than the proceeds of the related Mortgage Loan during the Collection Period related to any Distribution Date, such amounts shall be applied, first, as provided in Section 4.01(a) to reimburse the Holders of any Regular Certificates and the Class A-S Regular Interest (and therefore the Class A-S Certificates and Class A-S-PEX Component), the Class B Regular Interest (and therefore the Class B Certificates and Class B-PEX Component) and the Class C Regular Interest (and therefore the Class C Certificates and Class C-PEX Component) that suffered write-offs in connection with Trust Advisor Expenses, and any portion of such recovery remaining after such application shall be considered in the calculation of the Interest Distribution Amounts of the Class B Regular Interest, Class C Regular Interest and the Class D Certificates, as and to the extent set forth in the definition of Interest Distribution Amount, for such Distribution Date (with the actual payment of such portion to be made to the Holders of the Class B Regular Interest, Class C Regular Interest and Class D Certificates to the extent required under the combined operation of the definition of Interest Distribution Amount and the provisions of Section 4.01(a) other than the final paragraph of Section 4.01(a)).

Section 4.06    Calculations. Provided that the Certificate Administrator receives the necessary information from the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for performing all calculations necessary in connection with the actual and deemed distributions to be made pursuant to Section 4.01, the preparation of the Distribution Date Statements pursuant to Section 4.02(a) and the actual and deemed allocations of Realized Losses and Additional Trust Fund Expenses to be made pursuant to Section 4.04 and the actual and deemed allocations of Trust Advisor Expenses to be made pursuant to Section 4.05. The Certificate Administrator shall calculate the Available Distribution Amount for each Distribution Date and shall allocate such amount among Certificateholders in accordance with this Agreement. Absent actual knowledge by a Responsible Officer of an error therein, the Certificate Administrator shall have no obligation to recompute, recalculate or otherwise verify any information provided to it by the Master Servicer. The calculations by the Certificate Administrator contemplated by this Section 4.06 shall, in the absence of manifest error, be presumptively deemed to be correct for all purposes hereunder.

If a Transfer of any Definitive Non-Registered Certificate is to be made without registration under the Securities Act (other than in connection with the initial issuance of the Non-Registered Certificates or a Transfer of such Certificate by the Depositor, any Underwriter or any of their respective Affiliates or, in the case of a Global Certificate for any Class of Book-Entry Non-Registered Certificates, a Transfer thereof to a successor Depository or to the applicable Certificate Owner(s) in accordance with Section 5.03), then the Certificate Registrar shall refuse to register such Transfer unless it receives (and, upon receipt, may conclusively rely upon) either: (i) a certificate from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such Transfer substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-1A or as Exhibit C-2A and a certificate from such Certificateholder’s prospective Transferee substantially in the form attached hereto either as Exhibit C-1B or as Exhibit C-2B (except that, in the case of any proposed transfer of a Class R Certificate, such Certificateholder desiring to effect such Transfer and prospective Transferee may provide certificates substantially in the forms attached hereto respectively as Exhibit C-2A and Exhibit C-2B only); or (ii) an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Certificate Administrator to the effect that such prospective Transferee is an Institutional Accredited Investor or a Qualified Institutional Buyer (except that, in the case of any proposed transfer of a Class R Certificate, such Opinion of Counsel must be to the effect that such prospective Transferee is a Qualified Institutional Buyer) and such Transfer may be made

330
 

without registration under the Securities Act (which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund or of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Tax Administrator, the Custodian or the Certificate Registrar in their respective capacities as such), together with the written certification(s) as to the facts surrounding such Transfer from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such Transfer and/or such Certificateholder’s prospective Transferee on which such Opinion of Counsel is based.

If a Transfer of any interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate for any Class of Book-Entry Non-Registered Certificates is to be made without registration under the Securities Act (other than in connection with the initial issuance of the Book-Entry Non-Registered Certificates or a Transfer of any interest therein by the Depositor, any Underwriter or any of their respective Affiliates), then the Certificate Owner desiring to effect such Transfer shall be required to obtain either (i) a certificate from such Certificate Owner’s prospective Transferee substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-2B, or (ii) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the prospective Transferee is a Qualified Institutional Buyer, and that such Transfer may be made without registration under the Securities Act. Except as provided in the following two paragraphs, no interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate for any Class of Book-Entry Non-Registered Certificates shall be transferred to any Person who takes delivery other than in the form of an interest in such Rule 144A Global Certificate. If any Transferee of an interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate for any Class of Book-Entry Non-Registered Certificates does not, in connection with the subject Transfer, deliver to the Transferor the Opinion of Counsel or the certification described in the preceding sentence, then such Transferee shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that all the certifications set forth in Exhibit C-2B hereto are, with respect to the subject Transfer, true and correct.

Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, any interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate for a Class of Book-Entry Non-Registered Certificates may be transferred (without delivery of any certificate or Opinion of Counsel described in clauses (i) and (ii) of the first sentence of the preceding paragraph) by the Depositor, any Affiliate of the Depositor or any Person designated in writing by the Depositor to any Person who takes delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Certificate for such Class of Certificates upon delivery to the Certificate Registrar of (x) a certificate to the effect that the Certificate Owner desiring to effect such Transfer is the Depositor or an Affiliate of the Depositor and (y) such written orders and instructions as are required under the applicable procedures of the Depository, Clearstream and Euroclear to direct the Certificate Administrator to debit the account of a Depository Participant by a denomination of interests in such Rule 144A Global Certificate, and credit the account of a Depository Participant by a denomination of interests in such Regulation S Global Certificate, that is equal to the denomination of beneficial interests in the Book-Entry Non-Registered Certificates to be transferred. Upon delivery to the Certificate Registrar of such certification and such orders and instructions, the Certificate Administrator, subject to and in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depository, shall reduce the denomination of the Rule 144A Global Certificate in respect of the applicable Class of Book-Entry Non-Registered Certificates and increase the denomination of the Regulation S Global Certificate for such Class, by the denomination of the beneficial interest in such Class specified in such orders and instructions.

331
 

Also notwithstanding the foregoing, any interest in a Rule 144A Global Certificate with respect to any Class of Book-Entry Non-Registered Certificates may be transferred by any Certificate Owner holding such interest to any Institutional Accredited Investor (other than a Qualified Institutional Buyer) that takes delivery in the form of a Definitive Certificate of the same Class as such Rule 144A Global Certificate upon delivery to the Certificate Registrar and the Certificate Administrator of (i) such certifications and/or opinions as are contemplated by the second paragraph of this Section 5.02(b) and (ii) such written orders and instructions as are required under the applicable procedures of the Depository to direct the Certificate Administrator to debit the account of a Depository Participant by the denomination of the transferred interests in such Rule 144A Global Certificate. Upon delivery to the Certificate Registrar of the certifications and/or opinions contemplated by the second paragraph of this Section 5.02(b), the Certificate Administrator, subject to and in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depository, shall reduce the denomination of the subject Rule 144A Global Certificate by the denomination of the transferred interests in such Rule 144A Global Certificate, and shall cause a Definitive Certificate of the same Class as such Rule 144A Global Certificate, and in a denomination equal to the reduction in the denomination of such Rule 144A Global Certificate, to be executed, authenticated and delivered in accordance with this Agreement to the applicable Transferee. Correspondingly, any interest in a Non-Registered Certificate (other than a Class R Certificate) held as a Definitive Certificate may be transferred by any Certificateholder holding such interest to any Qualified Institutional Buyer that takes delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in a Rule 144A Global Certificate upon delivery to the Certificate Registrar and the Certificate Administrator of (i) a certificate from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such Transfer substantially in the form of attached hereto as Exhibit C-2A and a certificate from such Certificateholder’s prospective Transferee substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-2B and (ii) such written orders and instructions as are required under the applicable procedures of the Depository to direct the Certificate Administrator to credit the account of a Depository Participant by the denomination of the transferred interests in such Rule 144A Global Certificate. Upon surrender of the Definitive Certificate, the Certificate Administrator, subject to and in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depository, shall increase the denomination of the subject Rule 144A Global Certificate by the denomination of the surrendered Definitive Certificate.

Except as provided in the next paragraph, no beneficial interest in the Regulation S Global Certificate for any Class of Book-Entry Non-Registered Certificates shall be transferred to any Person who takes delivery other than in the form of a beneficial interest in such Regulation S Global Certificate. On and prior to the Release Date, each Certificate Owner desiring to effect any Transfer of an interest in the Regulation S Global Certificate for any Class of Book-Entry Non-Registered Certificates to another Person who takes delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in such Regulation S Global Certificate shall be required to obtain from such Certificate Owner’s prospective Transferee a written certification substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit C-3B hereto certifying that such Transferee is an institution that is not a United States Securities Person. On or prior to the Release Date, beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Certificate for each Class of Book-Entry Non-Registered Certificates may be held only through Euroclear or Clearstream. The Regulation S Global Certificate for each Class of Book-Entry Non-Registered Certificates shall be deposited with the Certificate Administrator as custodian for the Depository and registered in the name of Cede & Co. as nominee of the Depository.

332
 

Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, after the Release Date, any interest in the Regulation S Global Certificate for a Class of Book-Entry Non-Registered Certificates may be transferred by a Certificate Owner to any Person who takes delivery in the form of a beneficial interest in the Rule 144A Global Certificate for such Class of Certificates upon delivery to the Certificate Registrar and the Certificate Administrator of (x) a certificate from the Certificate Owner desiring to effect such Transfer substantially in the form of attached hereto as Exhibit C-2A and a certificate from such Certificate Owner’s prospective Transferee substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-2B and (y) such written orders and instructions as are required under the applicable procedures of the Depository, Clearstream and Euroclear to direct the Certificate Administrator to debit the account of a Depository Participant by a denomination of interests in such Regulation S Global Certificate, and credit the account of a Depository Participant by a denomination of interests in such Rule 144A Global Certificate, that is equal to the denomination of beneficial interests in such Class of Book-Entry Non-Registered Certificates to be transferred. Upon delivery to the Certificate Registrar and the Certificate Administrator of such certification and orders and instructions, the Certificate Administrator, subject to and in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depository, shall reduce the denomination of the Regulation S Global Certificate in respect of such Class of Book-Entry Non-Registered Certificates, and increase the denomination of the Rule 144A Global Certificate for such Class, by the denomination of the beneficial interest in such Class specified in such orders and instructions.

None of the Depositor, the Underwriters, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trust Advisor, the Tax Administrator or the Certificate Registrar is obligated to register or qualify any Class of Non-Registered Certificates under the Securities Act or any other securities law or to take any action not otherwise required under this Agreement to permit the Transfer of any Non-Registered Certificate or interest therein without registration or qualification. Any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner desiring to effect a Transfer of any Non-Registered Certificate or interest therein shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Depositor, the Underwriters, the Certificate Administrator, the Trust Advisor, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Tax Administrator and the Certificate Registrar against any liability that may result if such Transfer is not exempt from the registration and/or qualification requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state or foreign securities laws or is not made in accordance with such federal, state or foreign laws.

(c)           No Transfer of a Certificate or any interest therein shall be made (A) to any Plan or (B) to any Person who is directly or indirectly purchasing such Certificate or interest therein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with assets of a Plan, if the purchase and holding of such Certificate or interest therein by the prospective Transferee would result in a violation of Section 406 or 407 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or a similar violation under Similar Law, or would result in the imposition of an excise tax under Section 4975 of the Code. Except in connection with the initial issuance of the Non-Registered Certificates or any Transfer of a Non-Registered Certificate or any interest therein by the Depositor, any Initial Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates or, in the case of a Global Certificate for any Class of Book-Entry Non-Registered Certificates, any Transfer thereof to a successor Depository or to the applicable Certificate Owner(s) in accordance with Section 5.03, the Certificate Registrar shall refuse to register the Transfer of a Definitive Non-Registered Certificate unless it has received from the prospective Transferee, and any Certificate Owner transferring an interest in a

333
 

 

Global Certificate for any Class of Book-Entry Non-Registered Certificates shall be required to obtain from its prospective Transferee, either (i) a certification to the effect that such prospective Transferee is not a Plan and is not directly or indirectly purchasing such Certificate or interest therein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with assets of a Plan; or (ii) alternatively, but only in the case of a Certificate that is not a Class R Certificate, a certification to the effect that the purchase and holding of such Certificate or interest therein by such prospective Transferee is exempt from the prohibited transaction provisions of Sections 406(a) and (b) and 407 of ERISA and the excise taxes imposed on such prohibited transactions by Sections 4975(a) and (b) of the Code, by reason of Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60; or (iii) alternatively, but only in the case of a Non-Registered Certificate that is an Investment Grade Certificate (other than, if applicable, a Class R Certificate), determined at date of acquisition, that is being acquired by or on behalf of a Plan in reliance on the Exemption, a certification to the effect that such Plan (X) is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1) of Regulation D under the Securities Act, (Y) is not sponsored (within the meaning of Section 3(16)(B) of ERISA) by any member of the Restricted Group, and (Z) agrees that it will obtain from each of its Transferees a written certification described in clause (i) above, a written certification described in clause (ii) above or a written representation that such Transferee satisfies the requirements of the immediately preceding clauses (iii)(X) and (iii)(Y), together with a written agreement that such Transferee will obtain from each of its Transferees a similar written certification or representation. It is hereby acknowledged that the forms of certification attached hereto as Exhibit D-1 (in the case of Definitive Non-Registered Certificates) and Exhibit D-2 (in the case of ownership interests in Book-Entry Non-Registered Certificates) are acceptable for purposes of the preceding sentence. In lieu of one of the foregoing certifications, a prospective Transferee may deliver to the Certificate Registrar a certification of facts and an Opinion of Counsel which establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee that such Transfer will not result in a violation of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or a similar violation under Similar Law, or result in the imposition of an excise tax under Section 4975 of the Code, and will not subject the Trustee, the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, a Sub-Servicer or the Trust Advisor to any obligation in addition to those undertaken in this Agreement; in the case of an ownership interest in a Book-Entry Certificate, the prospective Transferee shall also deliver to the Certificate Owner from whom it is acquiring the interest a copy of such certification of facts and Opinion of Counsel, and a certification that these documents have been delivered to the Certificate Registrar. If any Transferee of a Certificate (including a Registered Certificate) or any interest therein does not, in connection with the subject Transfer, deliver to the Certificate Registrar (in the case of a Definitive Certificate) or the Transferor (in the case of ownership interests in a Book-Entry Non-Registered Certificate) any certification and/or Opinion of Counsel contemplated by the first, second and third preceding sentences, then such Transferee shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that either: (i) such Transferee is not a Plan and is not directly or indirectly purchasing such Certificate or interest therein on behalf of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with assets of a Plan; or (ii) the purchase and holding of such Certificate or interest therein by such Transferee are exempt from the prohibited transaction provisions of Sections 406(a) and (b) and 407 of ERISA and the excise taxes imposed on such prohibited transactions by Sections 4975(a) and (b) of the Code by reason of the Exemption (in the case of such a Certificate that is an Investment Grade Certificate) or by reason of Sections I and III of PTCE 95-60 (in the case of such a Certificate that is not an Investment Grade

334
 

Certificate) or, in the case of a Plan subject to Similar Law does not result in a violation of Similar Law.

(d)          (i) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions and to have irrevocably authorized the Certificate Administrator under clause (ii)(A) below to deliver payments to a Person other than such Person and to have irrevocably authorized the Certificate Administrator under clause (ii)(B) below to negotiate the terms of any mandatory disposition and to execute all instruments of Transfer and to do all other things necessary in connection with any such disposition. The rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions:

(A)        Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify the Tax Administrator and the Certificate Administrator of any change or impending change in its status as a Permitted Transferee.

(B)        In connection with any proposed Transfer of any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate, the Certificate Registrar shall require delivery to it, and shall not register the Transfer of any Class R Certificate until its receipt, of an affidavit and agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E-1 (a “Transfer Affidavit and Agreement”), from the proposed Transferee, representing and warranting, among other things, that such Transferee is a Permitted Transferee, that it is not acquiring its Ownership Interest in the Class R Certificate that is the subject of the proposed Transfer as a nominee, trustee or agent for any Person that is not a Permitted Transferee.

(C)        Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement by a proposed Transferee under clause (B) above, if a Responsible Officer of either the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar has actual knowledge that the proposed Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee, no Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate to such proposed Transferee shall be effected.

(D)        Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate shall agree (1) to require a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement from any prospective Transferee to whom such Person attempts to Transfer its Ownership Interest in such Class R Certificate and (2) not to Transfer its Ownership Interest in such Class R Certificate unless it provides to the Certificate Registrar a certificate substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E-2 stating that, among other things, it has no actual knowledge that such prospective Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee.

(E)        Each Person holding or acquiring an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate, by purchasing such Ownership Interest, agrees to give the Tax Administrator and the Certificate Administrator written notice that it is a “pass-

335
 

 

through interest holder” within the meaning of temporary Treasury Regulations Section 1.67-3T(a)(2)(i)(A) immediately upon acquiring an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate, if it is, or is holding an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate on behalf of, a “pass-through interest holder”.

(ii)         (A) If any purported Transferee shall become a Holder of a Class R Certificate in violation of the provisions of this Section 5.02(d), then the last preceding Holder of such Class R Certificate that was in compliance with the provisions of this Section 5.02(d) shall be restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights as Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of such Transfer of such Class R Certificate. None of the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar shall be under any liability to any Person for any registration of Transfer of a Class R Certificate that is in fact not permitted by this Section 5.02(d) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or for taking any other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of this Agreement.

(B)        If any purported Transferee shall become a Holder of a Class R Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section 5.02(d), then, to the extent that retroactive restoration of the rights of the preceding Holder of such Class R Certificate as described in clause (ii)(A) above shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the Certificate Administrator shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cause the Transfer of such Class R Certificate to a Permitted Transferee selected by the Certificate Administrator on such terms as the Certificate Administrator may choose, and the Certificate Administrator shall not be liable to any Person having an Ownership Interest in such Class R Certificate as a result of the Certificate Administrator’s exercise of such discretion. Such purported Transferee shall promptly endorse and deliver such Class R Certificate in accordance with the instructions of the Certificate Administrator. Such Permitted Transferee may be the Certificate Administrator itself or any Affiliate of the Certificate Administrator.

(iii)       The Tax Administrator shall make available to the IRS and to those Persons specified by the REMIC Provisions all information furnished to it by the other parties hereto necessary to compute any tax imposed (A) as a result of the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate to any Person who is a Disqualified Organization, including the information described in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.860D-1(b)(5) and 1.860E-2(a)(5) with respect to the “excess inclusions” of such Class R Certificate and (B) as a result of any regulated investment company, real estate investment trust, common trust fund, partnership, trust, estate or organization described in Section 1381 of the Code that holds an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate having as among its record holders at any time any Person which is a Disqualified Organization, and each of the other parties hereto shall furnish to the Tax Administrator all information in its possession necessary for the Tax Administrator to discharge such obligation. The Person holding such Ownership Interest shall be responsible

336
 

for the reasonable compensation of the Tax Administrator for providing information thereto pursuant to this subsection (d)(iii) and Section 10.01(d)(i).

(iv)       The provisions of this Section 5.02(d) set forth prior to this clause (iv) may be modified, added to or eliminated, provided that there shall have been delivered to the Certificate Administrator and the Tax Administrator the following:

(A)        A Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such modification of, addition to or elimination of such provisions; and

(B)        an Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the Certificate Administrator and the Tax Administrator, obtained at the expense of the party seeking such modification of, addition to or elimination of such provisions (but in no event at the expense of the Trustee, the Tax Administrator or the Trust), to the effect that doing so will not (1) cause any REMIC Pool to cease to qualify as a REMIC or be subject to an entity-level tax caused by the Transfer of any Class R Certificate to a Person which is not a Permitted Transferee or (2) cause a Person other than the prospective Transferee to be subject to a REMIC-related tax caused by the Transfer of a Class R Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee.

(e)          If a Person is acquiring any Non-Registered Certificate or interest therein as a fiduciary or agent for one or more accounts, such Person shall be required to deliver to the Certificate Registrar (or, in the case of an interest in a Book-Entry Non-Registered Certificate, to the Certificate Owner that is transferring such interest) a certification to the effect that, and such other evidence as may be reasonably required by the Certificate Administrator (or such Certificate Owner) to confirm that, it has (i) sole investment discretion with respect to each such account and (ii) full power to make the applicable foregoing acknowledgments, representations, warranties, certifications and agreements with respect to each such account as set forth in subsections (b), (c) and/or (d), as appropriate, of this Section 5.02.

(f)           Subject to the preceding provisions of this Section 5.02, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at the offices of the Certificate Registrar maintained for such purpose, the Certificate Registrar shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing a like aggregate Percentage Interest in such Class.

(g)          At the option of any Holder, its Certificates may be exchanged for other Certificates of authorized denominations of the same Class evidencing a like aggregate Percentage Interest in such Class upon surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at the offices of the Certificate Registrar maintained for such purpose. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Certificate Registrar shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

337
 

 

(h)          Every Certificate presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Certificate Registrar) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

(i)           No service charge shall be imposed for any transfer or exchange of Certificates, but the Certificate Administrator or Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.

(j)           All Certificates surrendered for transfer and exchange shall be physically canceled by the Certificate Registrar, and the Certificate Registrar shall dispose of such canceled Certificates in accordance with its standard procedures.

(k)          In connection with the foregoing Sections 5.02(b), (c) and (d), in no case shall the Depositor be responsible for the costs or expenses of any certificates, opinions or agreements contemplated by such Sections 5.02(b), (c) and (d).

(l)          Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall comply with all federal withholding requirements respecting payments to Certificateholders and other payees of interest or original issue discount that the Certificate Administrator reasonably believes are applicable under the Code. The consent of Certificateholders or payees shall not be required for such withholding. If the Certificate Administrator does withhold any amount from interest or original issue discount payments or advances thereof to any Certificateholder or payee pursuant to federal withholding requirements, the Certificate Administrator shall indicate the amount withheld to such Person. Such amounts shall be deemed to have been distributed to such Certificateholders or payees for all purposes of this Agreement.

(m)         Certificate Transfer requests shall be made to: Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., Corporate Trust Services, Attn: TRANSFER AGENT GROUP, 6th Street & Marquette Ave., Minneapolis, MN 55479, Ref: Certificate Transfer Request, WFCM 2015-C31, telephone: 800-344-5128.

Section 5.03      Book-Entry Certificates. (a) The Certificates (other than the Class R Certificates) shall initially be issued as one or more Certificates registered in the name of the Depository or its nominee and, except as provided in Section 5.02(b) and Section 5.03(c), a Transfer of such Certificates may not be registered by the Certificate Registrar unless such Transfer is to a successor Depository that agrees to hold such Certificates for the respective Certificate Owners with Ownership Interests therein. Such Certificate Owners shall hold and Transfer their respective Ownership Interests in and to such Certificates through the book-entry facilities of the Depository and, except as provided in Section 5.03(c) below, shall not be entitled to definitive, fully registered Certificates (“Definitive Certificates”) in respect of such Ownership Interests. The Classes of Non-Registered Certificates initially sold to Qualified Institutional Buyers in reliance on Rule 144A or in reliance on another exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act shall, in the case of each such Class, be represented by the Rule 144A Global Certificate for such Class, which shall be deposited with the Certificate

338
 

Administrator as custodian for the Depository and registered in the name of Cede & Co. as nominee of the Depository. The Classes of Non-Registered Certificates initially sold to institutions that are non-United States Securities Persons in Offshore Transactions in reliance on Regulation S shall, in the case of each such Class, be represented by the Regulation S Global Certificate for such Class, which shall be deposited with the Certificate Administrator as custodian for the Depository and registered in the name of Cede & Co. as nominee of the Depository. All Transfers by Certificate Owners of their respective Ownership Interests in the Book-Entry Certificates shall be made in accordance with the procedures established by the Depository Participant or brokerage firm representing each such Certificate Owner. Each Depository Participant shall only transfer the Ownership Interests in the Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners it represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with the Depository’s normal procedures.

(b)           The Certificate Administrator, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Depositor and the Certificate Registrar may for all purposes, including the making of payments due on the Book-Entry Certificates, deal with the Depository as the authorized representative of the Certificate Owners with respect to such Certificates for the purposes of exercising the rights of Certificateholders hereunder. Except as expressly provided to the contrary herein, the rights of Certificate Owners with respect to the Book-Entry Certificates shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such Certificate Owners and the Depository Participants and brokerage firms representing such Certificate Owners. Multiple requests and directions from, and votes of, the Depository as Holder of the Book-Entry Certificates with respect to any particular matter shall not be deemed inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Certificate Owners. The Certificate Administrator may establish a reasonable record date in connection with solicitations of consents from or voting by Certificateholders and shall give notice to the Depository of such record date.

(c)           If (i)(A) the Depositor advises the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar in writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities with respect to a Class of the Book-Entry Certificates, and (B) the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor, or (ii) the Depositor at its option advises the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Certificate Registrar in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Depository with respect to a Class of Book-Entry Certificates, the Certificate Registrar shall notify all affected Certificate Owners, through the Depository, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Certificates to such Certificate Owners requesting the same.

Upon surrender to the Certificate Registrar of the Book-Entry Certificates of any Class thereof by the Depository, accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for registration of transfer, the Certificate Registrar shall execute, and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, the Definitive Certificates in respect of such Class to the Certificate Owners identified in such instructions. None of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions, and each of them may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates for purposes of evidencing ownership of any Class of Registered Certificates, the registered holders of such Definitive Certificates shall be recognized as Certificateholders hereunder and,

339
 

accordingly, shall be entitled directly to receive payments on, to exercise Voting Rights with respect to, and to transfer and exchange such Definitive Certificates.

(d)          Notwithstanding any other provisions contained herein, neither the Certificate Administrator nor the Certificate Registrar shall have any responsibility whatsoever to monitor or restrict the Transfer of ownership interests in any Certificate (including but not limited to any Non-Registered Certificate) which interests are transferable through the book-entry facilities of the Depository.

Section 5.04     Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If (i) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate Registrar, or the Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate, and (ii) there is delivered to the Certificate Administrator and the Certificate Registrar such security or indemnity as may be reasonably required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of actual notice to the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Certificate Registrar shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of the same Class and like Percentage Interest. Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section, the Certificate Administrator and the Certificate Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Certificate Administrator and the Certificate Registrar) connected therewith. Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the applicable REMIC created hereunder, as if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time.

Section 5.05     Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Trust Advisor, the Certificate Registrar and any agent of any of them may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions pursuant to Section 4.01 and for all other purposes whatsoever and none of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Trust Advisor, the Certificate Registrar or any agent of any of them shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Section 5.06      Certification by Certificate Owners. To the extent that under the terms of this Agreement, it is necessary to determine whether any Person is a Certificate Owner, the Certificate Administrator shall make such determination based on a certificate of such Person which shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit K-1A, Exhibit K-1B, Exhibit K-2A or Exhibit K-2B hereto, as applicable (or such other form as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Certificate Administrator), and shall, to the extent required by the Certificate Administrator, specify the Class and Certificate Principal Balance or Certificate Notional Amount, as the case may be, of the Book-Entry Certificate beneficially owned; provided that none of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar shall knowingly recognize such Person as a Certificate Owner if such Person, to the actual knowledge of a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar, as the case may be, acquired

In addition, the Depositor shall have the right to make or cause exchanges on the Closing Date pursuant to instructions delivered to the Certificate Administrator on the Closing Date.

(d)          The Certificate Administrator shall make the first distribution on an Exchangeable Certificate received by a Certificateholder in any exchange on the Distribution Date in the month following the month of exchange to the Certificateholder of record as of the applicable Record Date for such Certificate and Distribution Date.

The Depositor, the Trust Advisor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and any director, member, manager, officer, employee or agent of any such party may

 

344
 

 

rely in good faith on any document of any kind conforming to the requirements of this Agreement for the truth and accuracy of the contents of that document (and as to certificates and opinions, including Opinions of Counsel, for the truth of the statements made therein and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein) reasonably believed or in good faith believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties, which document, prima facie, is properly executed and submitted by any Person, or any employee or agent of any Person (including legal counsel as to opinions), respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Depositor, the Trust Advisor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer (each in its capacity as such or in its individual capacity) and any member, manager, director, officer, employee or agent of any such party, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust Fund out of the Collection Account and/or the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account, as applicable, as provided in Section 3.05(a), or the Distribution Account, as provided in Section 3.05(b), against any loss, liability, claim, damages, penalty, fine, cost or expense (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred in connection with any actual or threatened legal action or claim relating to this Agreement, the Certificates or the Trust, other than any loss, liability, cost or expense: (i) specifically required to be borne by such party, without right of reimbursement, pursuant to the terms hereof; (ii) incurred in connection with any legal action or claim against such party resulting from any breach of a representation or warranty made by such Person herein, or (iii) incurred in connection with any legal action or claim against such party resulting from any willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of such Person’s obligations and duties hereunder or resulting from negligent disregard of such obligations and duties. Such indemnification shall extend (subject to the same limitations and qualifications) to any loss, liability, claim, damages, penalty, fine, cost or expense incurred by any such Person in connection with any actual or threatened legal action or claim relating to a Loan Combination (whether or not the Loan Combination is then being serviced under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), but the relevant party must promptly notify the Master Servicer and the Other Master Servicer of any claim (but the omission to so notify shall not relieve the Trust Fund from any liability which it may have to any such indemnified party under this Agreement except to the extent that such omission to notify materially prejudices the interests of the Trust Fund) and, if any indemnification payment is made to such party from general collections on the Mortgage Pool on deposit in the Collection Account, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, will be required to use efforts in accordance with the Servicing Standard to exercise promptly the rights of the Trust Fund under the related Intercreditor Agreement to obtain reimbursement from the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder for that holder’s allocable share of the amount so paid.

 

None of the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trust Advisor shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action unless such action is related to its respective duties under this Agreement and, except in the case of a legal action the costs of which such party is specifically required hereunder to bear, in its opinion does not involve it in any ultimate expense or liability for which it would not be reimbursed hereunder; provided that the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trust Advisor may in its discretion undertake any such action which it may reasonably deem necessary or desirable with respect to the enforcement and/or protection of the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders (or, if a Serviced Loan Combination is involved, the rights of the Certificateholders and the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s) (as a collective whole)). In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such

 

345
 

 

action, and any liability resulting therefrom, shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust, and the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trust Advisor, as the case may be, shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account, as provided in Section 3.05(a), or the Distribution Account, as provided in Section 3.05(b) (or, with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination, if such expenses and costs relate specifically to such Serviced Loan Combination, first, pro rata from the Collection Account and the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account (based on the respective outstanding principal balances of the related Mortgage Loan and any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan) and, if funds in the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account are insufficient, then any deficiency shall be paid from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account). Following reimbursement or payment of such amounts (with no obligation to repay such amounts), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall use efforts in accordance with the Servicing Standard to exercise promptly the rights of the Trust Fund under the related Intercreditor Agreement to obtain reimbursement from the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder (or if the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan is held by an Other Securitization, from such Other Securitization), of such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder’s pro rata share of such amounts reimbursed by the Collection Account.

Any indemnification payments or reimbursements of costs or expenses described in the preceding paragraph to which the Trust Advisor may become entitled shall constitute Trust Advisor Expenses and the payment of such Trust Advisor Expenses (other than those that constitute Designated Trust Advisor Expenses) shall be subject to the limitations set forth in Section 4.05. The Trust Advisor shall not be entitled to reimbursement of expenses for its services except those for which it is entitled to indemnification as described above.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if and to the extent that any loss, liability, claim, damages, penalty, fine, cost or expense that is, pursuant to this Section 6.03(a), required to be borne by the Trust out of the Distribution Account or Collection Account, relates to any Serviced Loan Combination, (i) such loss, liability, claim, damages, penalty, fine, cost or expense shall be payable out of amounts on deposit in respect of such Serviced Loan Combination in the Collection Account and the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account collectively, on a pro rata basis, prior to payment from funds in the Distribution Account or the Collection Account that are unrelated to such Serviced Loan Combination; and (ii) such loss, liability, claim, damages, penalty, fine, cost or expense shall be payable out of amounts on deposit in the Collection Account and the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial

 

346
 

 

Account (withdrawals from those accounts shall be made in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement and pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal balances of the Mortgage Loan and any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan included in the related Serviced Loan Combination). Insofar as any such loss, liability, claim, damages, penalty, fine, cost or expense related to any Serviced Loan Combination is so paid by withdrawal from the Collection Account or Distribution Account and funds are subsequently received and allocable to the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s), then the Master Servicer shall deposit the amount of such loss, liability, claim, damages, penalty, fine, cost or expense into the Collection Account from such funds so received and allocable to the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan.

 

(b)          In addition, none of the Depositor, the Trust Advisor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer or any director, member, manager, officer, employee or agent of any such party shall have any liability with respect to, and each of the Depositor, the Trust Advisor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and any director, member, manager, officer, employee or agent of any such party shall be entitled to rely, as to the truth of the statements made therein and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, on any documents, certificates or opinions, including Opinions of Counsel, furnished to, and reasonably believed or in good faith believed by such Person to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties, which document, certificate or opinion, prima facie, is properly executed and submitted by any Person, or any employee or agent of any Person (including legal counsel as to opinions), respecting any matters arising hereunder. Each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trust Advisor may rely in good faith on information provided to it by the other parties hereto (unless the provider and the recipient of such information are the same Person or Affiliates) and by the Borrowers and property managers, and will have no duty to investigate or verify the accuracy thereof. Each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trust Advisor may rely, and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon, any resolution, officer’s certificate, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, financial statement, agreement, appraisal, bond or other document (in electronic or paper format) as contemplated by and in accordance with this Agreement and reasonably believed or in good faith believed by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trust Advisor, or directors, members, officers, employees or agents of any such party as the case may be, to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties and each of them may consult with counsel, in which case any written advice of counsel or Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection with respect to any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or Opinion of Counsel. Furthermore, none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trust Advisor or directors, members, managers, officers, employees or agents of any such party shall have any liability under this Agreement for any failure of any other such Person (or any other party to this Agreement) to perform such Person’s obligations or duties hereunder.

 

Section 6.04      Resignation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer. (a) Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer may resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it, upon a determination that its duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law or are in material conflict by reason of applicable law with any other activities carried on by it (the other activities of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, so causing such a conflict being of a type and nature carried on by the Master

 

347
 

 

Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, at the date of this Agreement). Any such determination requiring the resignation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect which shall be delivered to the Trustee, with a copy to the Certificate Administrator, the Subordinate Class Representative and the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder (and each affected Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder). Unless applicable law requires the resignation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (as the case may be) to be effective immediately, and the Opinion of Counsel delivered pursuant to the prior sentence so states, no such resignation shall become effective until the Trustee or other successor shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the resigning party in accordance with Section 6.05 or Section 7.02 hereof; provided that, if no successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within ninety (90) days after the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, has given notice of such resignation, the resigning Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor thereto.

 

(b)          In addition, each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall have the right to resign at any other time for any reason, provided that (i) a willing successor thereto (including any such successor proposed by the resigning party) has been found that is, solely in the case of a successor to the Special Servicer if it is a resigning special servicer, acceptable to the Subordinate Class Representative (during any Subordinate Control Period), (ii) solely in the case of the Special Servicer if it is the resigning party, the resigning party has consulted with the Subordinate Class Representative (during any Collective Consultation Period) and the Trust Advisor (during any Collective Consultation Period or Senior Consultation Period) with respect to the identity and quality of its proposed successor, (iii) the succession is the subject of a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency (and, if applicable pursuant to Section 3.27(k), an analogous rating agency confirmation from each Pari Passu Companion Loan Rating Agency), (iv) the successor accepts appointment in writing prior to the effectiveness of such resignation and (v) the successor is not a Prohibited Party at the time of such succession unless the Depositor consents to the appointment in its reasonable discretion; provided, further, that in the event a replacement Special Servicer is being appointed solely for an Excluded Loan with respect to which the Subordinate Class Representative is a Borrower Party, the Subordinate Class Representative shall not have any consent or consultation rights in respect to designating that replacement Special Servicer.

 

(c)          Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be permitted to resign except as contemplated in Sections 6.04(a) and 6.04(b). Consistent with the foregoing, neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall (except in connection with any resignation thereby permitted above in this Section 6.04 or as otherwise expressly provided herein, including the provisions of Section 3.11(a), Section 3.22 and/or Section 6.02) assign or transfer any of its rights, benefits or privileges hereunder to any other Person or delegate to, subcontract with, or authorize or appoint any other Person to perform any of the duties, covenants or obligations to be performed by it hereunder. If, pursuant to any provision hereof, the duties of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer are transferred to a successor thereto, the entire amount of compensation payable to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, that accrues pursuant hereto from and after the date of such transfer shall be payable to such successor, except (in the case of the Special Servicer) to the extent provided in Section 3.11(c).

Such termination and replacement shall be further conditioned on such successor Special Servicer being a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer and the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 6.05(e) to the extent that such conditions have not otherwise been satisfied. Such termination shall also be subject to the terminated Special Servicer’s rights to indemnification, payment of outstanding fees, reimbursement of Advances, and other rights set forth in this Agreement which survive termination. If a proposed termination and replacement of the Special Servicer by Certificateholders as described above is not consummated within 180 days following the initial request of the Certificateholders who requested a vote, then the proposed termination and replacement shall have no further force or effect (except that the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to apply any amounts prepaid by such Certificateholders for expenses to pay any expenses incurred by the Certificate Administrator).

Certificateholders in the aggregate may not be revoked or withdrawn at any time. The Trust Advisor’s recommendation to replace the Special Servicer must be confirmed by an affirmative vote of Certificateholders having at least a majority of the aggregate Voting Rights (taking into account the allocation of any Appraisal Reduction Amounts in respect of the Mortgage Loans to notionally reduce the Class Principal Balances of the Principal Balance Certificates to which such Appraisal Reduction Amounts are allocable) of all Principal Balance Certificates on an aggregate basis. In the event the Holders of such Principal Balance Certificates elect to remove and replace the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Trustee, the Trust Advisor and the then-current Special Servicer, and the Certificate Administrator shall provide notice, substantially in the form of Exhibit I-1, to each of the Rating Agencies and promptly request a Rating Agency Confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies (and, subject to Section 3.27(k), an analogous rating agency confirmation from each Pari Passu Companion Loan Rating Agency, if applicable) with respect to the proposed removal and replacement, unless such Certificateholders themselves deliver such Rating Agency Confirmation. In the event the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator receive a Rating Agency Confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies (and, subject to Section 3.27(k), an analogous rating agency confirmation from each Pari Passu Companion Loan Rating Agency, if applicable) (and the successor Special Servicer agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement), the Trustee will then be required to terminate all of the rights and obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement and to appoint the successor Special Servicer that has been approved by the Certificateholders and constitutes a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer, and the Certificate Administrator shall post such notice on the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 8.12(b). Any such termination of an existing Special Servicer will be subject to the terminated Special Servicer’s rights to indemnification, payment of outstanding fees, reimbursement of Advances and other rights set forth in this Agreement which survive termination. The Trustee and the Trust Advisor shall cooperate in using reasonable efforts to cause the satisfaction of the conditions to the consummation of such replacement set forth in Section 6.05(e). The reasonable costs and expenses associated with the Trust Advisor’s identification of a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator’s obtaining such Rating Agency Confirmations administering the vote of the Certificateholders shall be an Additional Trust Fund Expense. If a proposed termination and replacement of the Special Servicer recommended by the Trust Advisor as described above is not consummated within 180 days following the initial recommendation of the Trust Advisor, then (i) the proposed termination and replacement shall have no further force or effect, (ii) the Certificate Administrator shall post such notice to the Certificate Administrator’s Website in accordance with Section 8.12(b) and (iii) the Certificate Administrator shall notify the Trustee and the then-current Special Servicer. The costs and expenses of administering the notices, solicitation of votes and otherwise incurred by the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Trust Advisor in connection with the proposed removal and replacement (including the costs and expenses associated with obtaining Rating Agency Confirmations and the Opinion of Counsel referred to in Section 6.05(e)) shall constitute expenses of the Trust Fund to be paid by withdrawal from the Distribution Account. None of the Special Servicer, any Certificateholder or any other Person shall have any cause of action against the Trust Advisor or any other Person based upon or arising from the Trust Advisor’s recommendation for replacement of, or determination not to recommend the replacement of, the Special Servicer under this Section 6.05(c), or the result of the vote of the Certificateholders.

(d)          Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to each Serviced Loan Combination with respect to which the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder is the “Lead Lender”, “Controlling Note Holder”, “Directing Note Holder” or other comparable party under the related Intercreditor Agreement, such related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder shall be entitled to replace the Special Servicer with respect to such Serviced Loan Combination to the extent provided in the related Intercreditor Agreement, and no Special Servicer appointed by such related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder (or its representative) with respect to such Serviced Loan Combination may be subsequently terminated pursuant to any of subsections (a) through (c) of this Section 6.05. For the avoidance of doubt, there is no Serviced Loan Combination with respect to which the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder is the “Lead Lender”, “Controlling Note Holder”, “Directing Note Holder” or other comparable party under the related Intercreditor Agreement.

 

(e)          No removal of the Special Servicer and/or appointment of a successor thereto pursuant to this Section 6.05 shall be effective until the Trustee shall have received (A) a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency (and, in the case of any Serviced Loan Combination, an analogous rating agency confirmation from each Pari Passu Companion Loan Rating Agency, if applicable pursuant to Section 3.27(k)) with respect to such removal and/or appointment, (B) an Acknowledgment of Proposed Special Servicer in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I-2, executed by the Person designated to be the successor to that terminated Special Servicer, (C) an Opinion of Counsel (the expense of which shall be deemed to be part of the expenses of the replacement) substantially to the effect that (1) such designated Person is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (2) the Acknowledgment of Proposed Special Servicer, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit I-2, has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such designated Person and (3) upon the execution and delivery of the Acknowledgment of Proposed Special Servicer, such designated Person shall be bound by the terms of this Agreement and, subject to customary bankruptcy and insolvency exceptions and customary equity exceptions, this Agreement shall be enforceable against such designated Person in accordance with its terms, and (D) written confirmation from the Depositor that all required Form 8-K Current Reports in connection with such appointment have been filed by the Depositor and, if applicable, by any Other Depositor(s). In connection with the foregoing, the Depositor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) file such required Form 8-K Current Report with respect to the Trust and with respect to any Other Securitization for which the Depositor is the Other Depositor and (ii) cause any applicable Other Depositor that is not the Depositor to file such required Form 8-K Current Report, in each case pursuant to clause (i) or (ii), within four (4) Business Days following receipt of the Form 8-K Disclosure Information contemplated by Section 6.04(d). The Subordinate Class Representative, the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder and any proposed replacement Special Servicer shall each be a third-party beneficiary of the immediately preceding sentence.

 

(f)           The Special Servicer terminated pursuant to this Section 6.05 shall be deemed to have been so terminated simultaneously with the designated successor’s becoming the Special Servicer hereunder; provided that (i) the terminated Special Servicer shall be entitled to receive, in connection with its termination, payment out of the Collection Account of all of its accrued and unpaid Special Servicing Fees, as and to the extent provided in Section 3.05(a), and reimbursement from the successor to such terminated Special Servicer of all outstanding

 

352
 

 

Servicing Advances made by such terminated Special Servicer and all unpaid Advance Interest accrued on such outstanding Servicing Advances (in which case the successor to such terminated Special Servicer shall be deemed to have made such Servicing Advances at the same time that such terminated Special Servicer had actually made them), (ii) such terminated Special Servicer shall thereafter be entitled to Workout Fees, as and to the extent expressly permitted by Section 3.11(c), and (iii) such terminated Special Servicer shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 6.03, notwithstanding any such termination; and provided, further, that such terminated Special Servicer shall continue to be obligated to pay (and entitled to receive) all other amounts accrued to (or owing by) it under this Agreement on or prior to the effective date of such termination. Such terminated Special Servicer shall cooperate (time being of the essence in connection with a termination under Section 6.05(b)) with the Trustee and the replacement to such terminated Special Servicer in effecting the transfer of such terminated Special Servicer’s responsibilities and rights hereunder to its successor, including the transfer within two (2) Business Days of its termination becoming effective pursuant to this Section 6.05, to the replacement to such terminated Special Servicer for administration by it of all cash amounts that at the time are or should have been credited by such terminated Special Servicer to the REO Account maintained by it or to any Servicing Account or Reserve Account or should have been delivered to the Master Servicer or that are thereafter received by or on behalf of such terminated Special Servicer with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Property. No penalty or fee shall be payable to the terminated Special Servicer in connection with any termination under this Section 6.05.

 

(g)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 6.05, with respect to any Excluded Special Servicer Loan, if any, the Special Servicer shall resign with respect to such Excluded Special Servicer Loan. During a Subordinate Control Period, if the Excluded Special Servicer Loan is not also an Excluded Loan, the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder or the Subordinate Class Representative shall appoint (and may thereafter replace with or without cause) the Excluded Special Servicer, as successor to the resigning Special Servicer, for the related Excluded Special Servicer Loan in accordance with this Agreement. If such Excluded Special Servicer Loan is also an Excluded Loan, the largest Subordinate Class Certificateholder (by Certificate Balance) that is not an Excluded Controlling Class Holder shall appoint (and may thereafter replace with or without cause) the Excluded Special Servicer for the related Excluded Special Servicer Mortgage in accordance with this Agreement. During a Collective Consultation Period, the largest Subordinate Class Certificateholder that is not an Excluded Controlling Class Certificateholder shall have the right to appoint the Excluded Special Servicer. During a Collective Consultation Period, neither the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder nor the Subordinate Class Representative shall be entitled to remove or replace the Excluded Special Servicer with respect to any Excluded Special Servicer Loan. During a Senior Consultation Period, none of the Majority Subordinate Certificateholder, the Subordinate Class Representative or any other Subordinate Class Certificateholder shall be entitled to remove or replace the Excluded Special Servicer with respect to any Excluded Special Servicer Loan.

 

During a Senior Consultation Period (or during a Subordinate Control Period if the Excluded Special Servicer Loan is also an Excluded Loan and all holders of Certificates in the Subordinate Class are also Excluded Controlling Class Holders with respect to such Excluded Special Servicer Loan, or during a Collective Consultation Period if all Subordinate Class

 

353
 

 

Certificateholders are also Excluded Controlling Class Holders with respect to such Excluded Special Servicer Loan), upon resignation of the Special Servicer with respect to an Excluded Special Servicer Loan, such resigning Special Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to appoint such Excluded Special Servicer; provided that if the resigning Special Servicer fails to appoint an Excluded Special Servicer within 30 days of the Special Servicer’s notice of resignation, such resigning Special Servicer will, at its own expense, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Excluded Special Servicer. The resigning Special Servicer shall have no liability for the appointment or the actions of the Excluded Special Servicer.

 

It shall be a condition to any such appointment that (i) the Rating Agencies confirm 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 commercial mortgage-backed securities backed by a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, (ii) the Excluded Special Servicer is a Qualified Replacement Special Servicer and (iii) the Excluded Special Servicer delivers to the Depositor and any applicable depositor related to another securitization that includes a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, the information, if any, required pursuant to Item 6.02 of the Form 8-K Current Report regarding itself in its role as Excluded Special Servicer.

 

If at any time the Special Servicer that had resigned as the Special Servicer for a Mortgage Loan as a result of such Mortgage Loan having become an Excluded Special Servicer Loan becomes aware that it is no longer a Borrower Party (including, without limitation, as a result of the related Mortgaged Property becoming REO Property) with respect to such Excluded Special Servicer Loan, (1) the related Excluded Special Servicer shall resign, (2) the related Mortgage Loan shall no longer be an Excluded Special Servicer Loan, (3) such Special Servicer shall become the Special Servicer again for such Mortgage Loan and (4) such original Special Servicer shall be entitled to all special servicing compensation with respect to such Mortgage Loan earned during such time on and after such Mortgage Loan is no longer an Excluded Special Servicer Loan.

 

The Excluded Special Servicer shall 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 is an Excluded Special Servicer Loan. For the avoidance of doubt, the Special Servicer will remain entitled to all special servicing compensation with respect to all Mortgage Loans and Serviced Loan Combinations that are not Excluded Special Servicer Loans.

 

If a Servicing Officer or Special Servicing Officer, as applicable, of the Master Servicer, an Excluded Special Servicer, or the Special Servicer, as applicable, has actual knowledge that a Mortgage Loan is no longer an Excluded Loan, an Excluded Controlling Class Loan or an Excluded Special Servicer Loan, as applicable, the Master Servicer, such Excluded Special Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide prompt written notice thereof to each of the other parties to this Agreement.

 

(h)          In connection with its duties or exercise of its rights under this Agreement, if the Special Servicer obtains knowledge that it is a Borrower Party, such Special Servicer (i) shall not

 

354
 

 

directly or indirectly provide any information related to the related Excluded Special Servicer Loan(s) to the related Borrower(s) or (A) any of the Special Servicer’s employees or personnel or any Affiliate involved in the management of any investment in the related Borrower or the related Mortgaged Property or (B) to its actual knowledge, any non-Affiliate that holds a direct or indirect ownership interest in the related Borrower, and (ii) shall maintain sufficient internal controls and appropriate policies and procedures in place in order to comply with the obligations described in clause (i) above.

 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any Mortgage Loan or Loan Combination, each of the Master Servicer and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to conclusively assume that the Special Servicer is not a Borrower Party except to the extent that the Master Servicer or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, has received written notice from such Person that it has become a Borrower Party. None of the Certificate Administrator or the Trust Advisor shall be liable for any communication to the Special Servicer if it is a Borrower Party or for disclosure of information relating to an Excluded Special Servicer Loan (including any information delivered to the Certificate Administrator for posting to the Certificate Administrator’s Website) if the Certificate Administrator or the Trust Advisor, as applicable, did not receive prior written notice that the related Mortgage Loan is an Excluded Special Servicer Loan. The Master Servicer shall not be liable for any communication to the Special Servicer if it is a Borrower Party or for disclosure of information relating to an Excluded Special Servicer Loan (including any information delivered to the Certificate Administrator for posting to the Certificate Administrator’s Website). Each of the Master Servicer and the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to conclusively rely on delivery from the Special Servicer of a written certification that the Special Servicer is no longer a Borrower Party with respect to an Excluded Special Servicer Loan.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall not have any obligation to restrict access by the Special Servicer to any information related to any Excluded Special Servicer Loan. The Master Servicer shall not restrict access by the Special Servicer to any information related to any Mortgage Loan other than any Excluded Special Servicer Loan with respect to which such Special Servicer is a Borrower Party.

 

Section 6.06      Rights of the Depositor and the Trustee in Respect of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer. Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall afford the Depositor and the Trustee, upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours access to all records maintained by it in respect of its rights and obligations hereunder and access to such of its officers as are responsible for such obligations. Upon reasonable request and as reasonably related to the performance of the obligations of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement, each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall furnish the Depositor and the Trustee with its most recent publicly available annual audited financial statements (or, if not available, the most recent publicly available audited annual financial statements of its corporate parent) and such other information as is publicly available regarding its business, affairs, property and condition, financial or otherwise. Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer may affix to any such information described in this Section 6.06 provided by it any disclaimer it deems appropriate in its reasonable discretion. The Depositor may, but is not obligated to, enforce the obligations of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder and may, but is not obligated to, perform, or cause a

 

355
 

 

designee to perform, any defaulted obligation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder or exercise the rights of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder; provided that neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder by virtue of such performance by the Depositor or its designee. The Depositor shall not have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer and is not obligated to supervise the performance of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer under this Agreement or otherwise.

 

Section 6.07      Master Servicer and Special Servicer May Own Certificates. The Master Servicer, Special Servicer or any of their respective Affiliates may become the Holder of (or, in the case of a Book-Entry Certificate, Certificate Owner with respect to) any Certificate with (except as otherwise set forth in the definition of “Certificateholder”) the same rights it would have if it were not the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or an Affiliate thereof. If, at any time during which the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Affiliate of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is the Holder of (or, in the case of a Book-Entry Certificate, Certificate Owner with respect to) any Certificate, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, proposes to take any action (including for this purpose, omitting to take a particular action) that is not expressly prohibited by the terms hereof and would not, in the reasonable judgment of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (as the case may be), violate the Servicing Standard, but that, if taken, might nonetheless, in the reasonable judgment of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (as the case may be), be considered by other Persons to violate the Servicing Standard, then the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may (but need not) seek the approval of the Certificateholders to such action by delivering to the Certificate Administrator (with a copy to the Trustee) a written notice that (a) states that it is delivered pursuant to this Section 6.07, (b) identifies the Percentage Interest in each Class of Certificates beneficially owned by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, or by an Affiliate thereof and (c) describes in reasonable detail the action that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, proposes to take. The Certificate Administrator, upon receipt of such notice, shall forward it to the Certificateholders (other than the Master Servicer and its Affiliates or the Special Servicer and its Affiliates, as appropriate), together with a request for approval by the Certificateholders of each such proposed action. If at any time Certificateholders entitled to greater than 50% of the Voting Rights of all Certificateholders (calculated without regard to the Certificates beneficially owned by the Master Servicer or its Affiliates or the Special Servicer or its Affiliates, as the case may be) shall have consented in writing (with a copy to each related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder, if a Serviced Loan Combination is involved) to the proposal described in the written notice, and if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall act as proposed in the written notice, such action shall be deemed to comply with the Servicing Standard. The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, for the reasonable expenses of the Certificate Administrator incurred pursuant to this paragraph. It is not the intent of the foregoing provision that the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer be permitted to invoke the procedure set forth herein with respect to routine servicing matters arising hereunder, but rather in the case of unusual circumstances.

When a single entity acts as two or more of the capacities of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, a Servicer Termination Event (other than an event described in clause (x) or clause (xi) above) in one capacity shall constitute a Servicer Termination Event in both or all such capacities.

 

(b)          If any Servicer Termination Event with respect to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (in either case, for purposes of this Section 7.01(b), the “Affected Party”) shall occur and be continuing, then, and in each and every such case, so long as the Servicer Termination Event shall not have been remedied, the Trustee may, and at the written direction of either the Holders of Certificates entitled to not less than 25% of the Voting Rights (determined without notionally reducing the Class Principal Balances of the Certificates by any Appraisal Reduction Amounts), or, alternatively, if a Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Special Servicer has occurred that affects a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder, at the written direction of such Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder solely with respect to the related Loan Combination, or, alternatively, if a Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Special Servicer has occurred, at the written direction of the Subordinate Class Representative during a Subordinate Control Period (except to the extent that the Servicer Termination Event relates to an Excluded Loan with respect to which the Subordinate Class Representative is a Borrower Party), or, alternatively, if a Servicer Termination Event under Section 7.01(a)(xiii) on the part of the Affected Party has occurred, at the written direction of the Depositor, the Trustee shall, terminate, by notice in writing to the Affected Party (with a copy of such notice to each other party hereto), all of the rights and obligations (accruing from and after receipt by the Affected Party of such notice) of the Affected Party under this Agreement (other than as a Holder of any Certificate or as holder of a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, entitlements to amounts payable to the terminated party at the time of termination and any entitlements of the terminated party that survive the termination including any Excess Servicing Fee Rights). From and after the receipt by the Affected Party of such written notice, all of the responsibilities, duties, authority and power of the Affected Party under this Agreement (and in the case of a termination of the Special Servicer at the written direction of a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder

with respect to a Serviced Loan Combination, solely as they relate to such Serviced Loan Combination), whether with respect to the Certificates, the Mortgage Loans or otherwise (other than as a Holder of any Certificate or as a Companion Loan Holder, if applicable), shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to and under this Section, and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of and at the expense of the Affected Party, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Mortgage Loans and related documents, or otherwise (provided that each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall, if terminated pursuant to this Section 7.01(b), continue to be obligated to pay and entitled to receive all amounts accrued or owing by or to it under this Agreement on or prior to the date of such termination, whether in respect of Advances or otherwise, and it and its members, managers, directors, officers, employees and agents shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 6.03 notwithstanding any such termination). Each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer agrees that, if it is terminated pursuant to this Section 7.01(b), it shall promptly (and in any event no later than twenty (20) days subsequent to its receipt of the notice of termination) provide the Trustee with all documents and records requested thereby to enable the Trustee to assume the functions hereunder of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, and shall otherwise cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination of the rights and responsibilities hereunder of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, including the transfer within five (5) Business Days to the Trustee for administration by it of all cash amounts that at the time are or should have been credited by the Master Servicer to the Collection Account, the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account, the Distribution Account or any Servicing Account or Reserve Account held by it (if it is the Affected Party) or by the Special Servicer to the REO Account, the Collection Account, the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account, or any Servicing Account or Reserve Account held by it (if it is the Affected Party) or that are thereafter received by or on behalf of it with respect to any Mortgage Loan or REO Property (provided that if the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer is terminated pursuant to this Section 7.01(b), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall continue to be obligated to pay and entitled to receive all amounts accrued or owing by or to it under this Agreement on or prior to the date of such termination, whether in respect of Advances or otherwise, and it and its members, managers, directors, officers, employees and agents shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 6.03 notwithstanding any such termination). Any costs or expenses (including those of any other party hereto or successor master servicer or special servicer) incurred in connection with any actions to be taken by a terminated Master Servicer or Special Servicer pursuant to this paragraph (including, but not limited to, in connection with transferring Mortgage Files, Servicing Files and related information, records and reports to the successor master servicer or special servicer and amending this Agreement to reflect (as well as providing appropriate notices to Borrowers, ground lessors, insurers and other applicable third parties regarding) such succession as successor master servicer or special servicer) shall be borne by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be (and, in the case of the Trustee’s costs and expenses, if not paid within a reasonable time, shall be borne by the Trust out of the Collection Account).

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 7.04, the Trustee shall not waive any Servicer Termination Event under Section 7.01(a)(xiii) without the prior written consent of the

Depositor. If a Servicer Termination Event under Section 7.01(a)(xii) occurs on the part of the Master Servicer, or if any other Servicer Termination Event occurs on the part of the Master Servicer affecting a Serviced Loan Combination and the Master Servicer is not terminated pursuant to the provisions set forth above, whether as a result of a waiver or otherwise, any affected Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder shall be entitled to require the Master Servicer to appoint, in accordance with Section 3.22 and with the delivery of a Rating Agency Confirmation (and an analogous rating agency confirmation from each Pari Passu Companion Loan Rating Agency with respect to any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Securities backed by the affected Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, if applicable pursuant to Section 3.27(k)), a Sub-Servicer to be selected by the Master Servicer, that will be responsible for primary servicing such Serviced Loan Combination.

 

(c)           Notwithstanding Section 7.01(b) of this Agreement, if the Master Servicer receives a notice of termination solely due to a Servicer Termination Event under Section 7.01(a)(x) or Section 7.01(a)(xi) and the terminated Master Servicer provides the Trustee with the appropriate “request for proposal” materials within the five (5) Business Days after such termination, then the Master Servicer shall continue to serve as Master Servicer, if requested to do so by the Trustee, and the Trustee shall promptly thereafter (using such “request for proposal” materials provided by the terminated Master Servicer) solicit good faith bids for the rights to master service the Mortgage Loans and any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loans under this Agreement from at least three (3) Persons qualified to act as successor Master Servicer hereunder in accordance with Section 6.02 and Section 7.02 for which the Trustee has received Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency (and, if applicable pursuant to Section 3.27(k), an analogous rating agency confirmation from each Pari Passu Companion Loan Rating Agency) obtained by the terminated Master Servicer (any such Person so qualified, a “Qualified Bidder”) or, if three (3) Qualified Bidders cannot be located, then from as many Persons as the Trustee can determine are Qualified Bidders; provided that (i) at the Trustee’s request, the terminated Master Servicer shall supply the Trustee with the names of Persons from whom to solicit such bids; and (ii) the Trustee shall not be responsible if less than three (3) or no Qualified Bidders submit bids for the right to master service the subject Mortgage Loans and any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loans under this Agreement. The bid proposal shall require any Successful Bidder (as defined below), as a condition of such bid, to enter into this Agreement as successor Master Servicer and to agree to be bound by the terms hereof, within forty-five (45) days after the receipt by the Master Servicer of a notice of termination. The Trustee shall solicit bids (i) on the basis of such successor Master Servicer retaining all applicable Sub-Servicers to continue the sub-servicing of the applicable Serviced Mortgage Loans pursuant to the terms of the respective Sub-Servicing Agreements and entering into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with the terminated Master Servicer to service each of any Serviced Mortgage Loans not subject to a Sub-Servicing Agreement at a sub-servicing fee rate per annum equal to, for each Serviced Mortgage Loan serviced, the applicable Master Servicing Fee Rate (or, (i) in the case of a Serviced Pari Passu Mortgage Loan, the sum of the applicable Master Servicing Fee Rate and the applicable Pari Passu Primary Servicing Fee Rate or (ii) in the case of a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan, the applicable Pari Passu Primary Servicing Fee Rate) minus the sum of one-quarter of a basis point (0.0025%) and the related Excess Servicing Fee Rate (each, a “Servicing-Retained Bid”) and (ii) on the basis of terminating each applicable Sub-Servicing Agreement and each applicable Sub-Servicer that it is permitted to terminate in accordance with Section 3.22 and having no obligation to enter into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with the terminated Master

 

362
 

 

Servicer (each, a “Servicing-Released Bid”). The Trustee shall select the Qualified Bidder with the highest cash Servicing-Retained Bid (or, if none, the highest cash Servicing-Released Bid) (the “Successful Bidder”) to act as successor Master Servicer hereunder. The Trustee shall direct the Successful Bidder to enter into this Agreement as successor Master Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof (and, if the successful bid was a Servicing-Retained Bid, to enter into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with the terminated Master Servicer as contemplated above), no later than forty-five (45) days after the termination of the terminated Master Servicer.

 

(d)          Upon the assignment and acceptance of the master servicing rights hereunder to and by the Successful Bidder, the Trustee shall remit or cause to be remitted to the terminated Master Servicer the amount of such cash bid received from the Successful Bidder (net of reasonable “out-of-pocket” expenses incurred in connection with obtaining such bid and transferring servicing).

 

(e)          If the Successful Bidder has not entered into this Agreement as successor Master Servicer within forty-five (45) days after the Master Servicer received a notice of termination or no Successful Bidder was identified within such 45-day period, the terminated Master Servicer shall reimburse the Trustee for all reasonable “out-of-pocket” expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with such bid process and the Trustee shall have no further obligations under Section 7.01(c). The Trustee thereafter may act or may select a successor to act as Master Servicer hereunder in accordance with Section 7.02.

 

Section 7.02      Trustee To Act; Appointment of Successor. On and after the time the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer resigns pursuant to Section 6.04(a) (and a successor Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, has not been appointed by the resigning Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, under Section 6.04), or receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.01, the Trustee shall be the successor in all respects to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, in its capacity as such under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto and arising thereafter placed on the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, by the terms and provisions hereof, including, if the Master Servicer is the resigning or terminated party, the Master Servicer’s obligation to make Advances; provided that (i) any failure to perform such duties or responsibilities caused by the failure of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, to cooperate or to provide information or monies as required by Section 7.01 shall not be considered a default by the Trustee hereunder and (ii) in the case of a terminated Master Servicer, the Trustee shall cease to act as successor Master Servicer if an alternative successor is appointed pursuant to Section 7.01(c). Neither the Trustee nor any other successor shall be liable for any of the representations and warranties of the resigning or terminated party or for any losses incurred by the resigning or terminated party pursuant to Section 3.06 hereunder nor shall the Trustee or any other successor be required to purchase any Mortgage Loan hereunder. As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to all fees and other compensation which the resigning or terminated party would have been entitled to for future services rendered if the resigning or terminated party had continued to act hereunder. Notwithstanding the above, if it is unwilling to so act, the Trustee may (and, if it is unable to so act, or if the Trustee is not approved as an acceptable master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, by each Rating Agency, or if the Holders of Certificates entitled to not less than 25% of the Voting Rights

(determined without notionally reducing the Class Principal Balances of the Certificates by any Appraisal Reduction Amounts) (or, alternatively, if a Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Special Servicer has occurred during a Subordinate Control Period, the Subordinate Class Representative (other than to the extent such Servicer Termination Event affects a related Excluded Loan) so requests in writing, the Trustee shall), promptly appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established and qualified institution as the successor to the resigning or terminated Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, hereunder; provided that (i) such appointment is the subject of a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency (and, if applicable pursuant to Section 3.27(k), an analogous rating agency confirmation from each Pari Passu Companion Loan Rating Agency) and (ii) if such successor (in the case of a successor to the resigning or terminated Master Servicer) does not have a master servicer rating from Fitch that is “CMS3” or above, such successor is reasonably acceptable to the Subordinate Class Representative, and, if such successor has a master servicer rating from Fitch that is “CMS3” or above, the Subordinate Class Representative shall have been consulted with respect to the identity of (although it need not have approved) such successor. No appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer hereunder shall be effective until the assumption by such successor of all its responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder, and pending such appointment and assumption, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with any such appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on the Mortgage Loans or otherwise as it and such successor shall agree; provided that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted the resigning or terminated party hereunder. The Depositor, the Trustee, such successor and each other party hereto shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.

 

If the Trustee or an Affiliate acts pursuant to this Section 7.02 as successor to the resigning or terminated Master Servicer and if the Excess Servicing Fee Rate is a rate per annum that is greater than zero (0) basis points, it may reduce the Excess Servicing Fee Rate to the extent that the Trustee’s or such Affiliate’s compensation as successor Master Servicer would otherwise be below the market rate servicing compensation. If the Trustee elects to appoint a successor to the resigning or terminated Master Servicer other than itself or an Affiliate pursuant to this Section 7.02, it may reduce the Excess Servicing Fee Rate to the extent reasonably necessary (in the sole discretion of the Trustee) for the Trustee to appoint a qualified successor Master Servicer that meets the requirements of this Section 7.02.

 

Section 7.03      Notification to Certificateholders. (a) Upon any resignation of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 6.04, any replacement of the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 6.05, any termination of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer pursuant to Section 7.01, any appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer pursuant to Section 6.02, 6.04 or 7.02 or the effectiveness of any designation of a new Special Servicer, the Trustee shall promptly notify (i) the Certificate Administrator, who shall give prompt written notice thereof to Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register, (ii) the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider, who shall promptly post such information on the Rule 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 8.12(c) and (iii) to any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder.

 

364
 

 

(b)          Not later than the later of (i) sixty (60) days after the occurrence of any event which constitutes or, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a Servicer Termination Event and (ii) five (5) days after a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge of the occurrence of such an event, the Trustee shall notify the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator, who shall transmit by mail to all Certificateholders notice of such occurrence, unless such default shall have been cured.

 

Section 7.04      Waiver of Servicer Termination Event. The Holders of Certificates representing at least 66-2/3% of the Voting Rights allocated to each Class of Certificates (and any affected Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders) affected by any Servicer Termination Event hereunder (determined without notionally reducing the Class Principal Balances of the Certificates by any Appraisal Reduction Amounts) may waive such Servicer Termination Event without the consent of any other Person; provided, however that:

 

(a)          a Servicer Termination Event under clause (i), clause (ii), clause (iii), clause (x) and clause (xi) of Section 7.01(a) may be waived only by all of the Certificateholders of the affected Classes (and any affected Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders);

 

(b)          each Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder shall be exclusively entitled to waive a Servicer Termination Event under Section 7.01(a)(xii) that arises with respect to the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan;

 

(c)          the Depositor shall be exclusively entitled to waive any Servicer Termination Event described in Section 7.01(a)(xiii) (but if a Serviced Loan Combination is involved and the Pari Passu Companion Loan is the subject of an Other Securitization, the Depositor may not grant such a waiver without the consent of each Other Depositor with respect to each Other Securitization);

 

(d)          no waiver of any Servicer Termination Event by one or more Persons will have any force or effect unless and until the Person requesting the waiver at its own expense has reimbursed the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator for any monies spent by them in connection with such Servicer Termination Event, together with interest thereon from and including the date so spent to but excluding the date of reimbursement.

 

Upon any such waiver of a Servicer Termination Event, such Servicer Termination Event shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose hereunder. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Servicer Termination Event or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, for purposes of waiving any Servicer Termination Event pursuant to this Section 7.04, Certificates registered in the name of the Depositor or any Affiliate of the Depositor shall be entitled to the same Voting Rights with respect to the matters described above as they would if registered in the name of any other Person.

 

Section 7.05      Additional Remedies of Trustee Upon Servicer Termination Event. During the continuance of any Servicer Termination Event, so long as such Servicer Termination Event shall not have been remedied, the Trustee, in addition to the rights specified in Section 7.01, shall have the right (exercisable subject to Section 8.01(a)), in its own name and as

 

365
 

 

trustee of an express trust (in the case of any matter affecting a Serviced Loan Combination) on behalf of the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder(s), to take all actions now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute to enforce its rights and remedies and to protect the interests, and enforce the rights and remedies, of the Certificateholders and such participants (including the institution and prosecution of all judicial, administrative and other proceedings and the filings of proofs of claim and debt in connection therewith). Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no remedy provided for by this Agreement shall be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy, and no delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy shall impair any such right or remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Servicer Termination Event.

If a Servicer Termination Event occurs and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs. Any permissive right of the Trustee contained in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty. The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Tax Administrator shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the respective obligations specifically imposed upon and undertaken by the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Tax Administrator.

If any such instrument is found not to conform to the requirements of this Agreement in a material manner, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Tax Administrator, as applicable, shall take such action as it deems appropriate to have the instrument corrected. The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Tax Administrator, as applicable, shall not be responsible or liable for the accuracy or content of any resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument furnished by the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder, any actual or prospective Certificateholder or Certificate Owner or any Rating Agency, and accepted by the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Tax Administrator in good faith, pursuant to this Agreement.

 

366
 

  

(c)           No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee, the Tax Administrator or the Certificate Administrator from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct; provided that:

 

(i)        prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event, and after the curing or waiver of all Servicer Termination Events which may have occurred, the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee;

 

(ii)       in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Tax Administrator, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Tax Administrator, as applicable, may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Tax Administrator, as applicable, and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement;

(v)       neither the Certificate Administrator nor the Trustee shall be required to take action with respect to, or be deemed to have notice or knowledge of, any default or Servicer Termination Event (other than a Servicer Termination Event under Section 7.01(a)(ix) or the Master Servicer’s failure to deliver any monies, including P&I Advances, or to provide any report, certificate or statement, to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Tax Administrator, as applicable, when required pursuant to this Agreement) or breach of a Mortgage Loan Seller’s representations and warranties, unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall have received written notice or otherwise have actual knowledge thereof. Otherwise, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator may conclusively assume that there is no such default, Servicer Termination Event or breach of such Mortgage Loan Seller’s representations and warranties;

 

367
 

 

(vi)      subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, and without limiting the generality of this Section 8.01, none of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Tax Administrator shall have any duty, except, in the case of the Trustee, as expressly provided in Section 2.01(b) or Section 2.01(e) or in its capacity as successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, (A) to cause any recording, filing, or depositing of this Agreement or any agreement referred to herein or any financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security interest, or to cause the maintenance of any such recording or filing or depositing or to any re-recording, refiling or redepositing of any thereof, (B) to cause the maintenance of any insurance, (C) to confirm or verify the truth, accuracy or contents of any reports or certificates of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, any actual or prospective or any Certificateholder or Certificate Owner or any Rating Agency, delivered to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Tax Administrator pursuant to this Agreement reasonably believed by the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Tax Administrator, as applicable, to be genuine and without error and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties, (D) subject to Section 10.01(f), to see to the payment or discharge of any tax levied against any part of the Trust Fund other than from funds available in the Collection Account or the Distribution Account, and (E) to see to the payment of any assessment or other governmental charge or any lien or encumbrance of any kind owing with respect to, assessed or levied against, any part of the Trust Fund other than from funds available in the Collection Account or the Distribution Account (provided that such assessment, charge, lien or encumbrance did not arise out of the Trustee’s, the Certificate Administrator’s or the Tax Administrator’s, as applicable, willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence);

 

(vii)     for as long as the Person that serves as the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Tax Administrator hereunder also serves as Custodian and/or Certificate Registrar, the protections, immunities and indemnities afforded to that Person in its capacity as Trustee, Certificate Administrator or Tax Administrator, as applicable, hereunder shall also be afforded to such Person in its capacity as Custodian and/or Certificate Registrar, as the case may be; and

 

(viii)    if the same Person is acting in two or more of the capacities of Trustee, Certificate Administrator, Tax Administrator, Custodian or Certificate Registrar, then any notices required to be given by such Person in one such capacity shall be deemed to have been timely given to itself in any other such capacity.

 

(d)          Upon receipt by the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator of any notice regarding the transfer of a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan by a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder or the transfer of an interest in a mezzanine loan related to a Mortgage Loan by the related mezzanine lender, the Certificate Administrator or the Tax Administrator, as applicable, shall promptly forward a copy of such notice to the Master Servicer and Special Servicer.

 

368
 

 

(e)          Based on information in its possession, the Certificate Administrator promptly shall provide written notice to the Trust Advisor, the Subordinate Class Representative, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer of (i) the existence of a Collective Consultation Period or a Senior Consultation Period and (ii) the end of any Collective Consultation Period or Senior Consultation Period. The Trust Advisor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer may at any time request from the Certificate Administrator written confirmation of whether there existed a Collective Consultation Period or a Senior Consultation Period during the current and/or previous calendar year and the Certificate Administrator shall deliver such confirmation to the requesting party within 10 days of such request.

The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than the statements attributed to, and the representations and warranties of, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and/or the Tax Administrator in Article II, and the signature of the Certificate Registrar set forth on each outstanding Certificate) shall not be taken as the statements of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Tax Administrator, and none of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Tax Administrator assumes any responsibility for their correctness. None of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Tax Administrator makes any representation as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement (except as regards the enforceability of this Agreement against it) or of any Certificate (other than as to the signature of the Certificate Administrator set forth thereon) or of any Mortgage Loan or related document. None of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Tax Administrator shall 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 Trust, or any funds (other than with respect to any funds held by the Certificate Administrator) deposited in or withdrawn from the Collection Account or any other

 

371
 

 

account by or on behalf of the Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (unless, in the case of the Trustee, it is acting in such capacity). None of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Tax Administrator shall be responsible for the legality or validity of this Agreement (other than insofar as it relates to the representations and warranties of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Tax Administrator, as the case may be, hereunder) or the validity, priority, perfection or sufficiency of any security, lien or security interest granted to it hereunder or the filing of any financing statements or continuation statements, except to the extent set forth in Section 2.01(b) and Section 2.01(e) or to the extent the Trustee is acting as the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer and the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, would be so responsible hereunder. Except as contemplated by Section 12.02(a), none of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Tax Administrator shall be required to record this Agreement.

 

Section 8.04      The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Tax Administrator May Own Certificates. The Trustee (in its individual or any other capacity), the Certificate Administrator or the Tax Administrator or any of their respective Affiliates may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates with (except as otherwise provided in the definition of “Certificateholder”) the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Tax Administrator or one of their Affiliates, as the case may be.

 

Section 8.05      Fees and Expenses of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Tax Administrator; Indemnification of and by the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Tax Administrator. (a) On each Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall withdraw from the Distribution Account, out of general collections on the Mortgage Loans and REO Properties on deposit therein, prior to any distributions to be made therefrom to Certificateholders on such date, and pay to itself all Certificate Administrator Fees, and to the Trustee all Trustee Fees, earned in respect of the Mortgage Loans and any successor REO Mortgage Loans through the end of the then most recently ended calendar month as compensation for all services rendered by the Trustee hereunder. The Trustee Fee shall be paid by the Certificate Administrator and shall be a portion of the Certificate Administrator Fee. As to each Mortgage Loan and REO Mortgage Loan, the Certificate Administrator Fee shall accrue during each calendar month, commencing with November 2015, at the Certificate Administrator Fee Rate on a principal amount equal to the Stated Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan, as the case may be, immediately following the Distribution Date in such calendar month (or, in the case of November 2015, on a principal amount equal to the Cut-off Date Principal Balance of the particular Mortgage Loan). The Trustee Fee and the Certificate Administrator Fee accrued during each calendar month shall be payable in the next succeeding calendar month. With respect to each Mortgage Loan and REO Mortgage Loan, the Certificate Administrator Fee shall be calculated on the same Interest Accrual Basis as is applicable to the accrual or deemed accrual of interest on such Mortgage Loan or REO Mortgage Loan, as the case may be. The Trustee Fee (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) and the Certificate Administrator Fee (the latter of which includes the Tax Administrator Fee) shall constitute the sole compensation of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator and the Tax Administrator, respectively, for such services to be rendered by it. The Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for the payment of the Tax Administrator Fee.

 

372
 

  

Notwithstanding the prior paragraph, if and to the extent that any loss, liability, cost or expense that is, pursuant to the prior paragraph, required to be borne by the Trust out of the Distribution Account or the Collection Account, relates to any Mortgage Loan that is part of a Serviced Loan Combination, (i) such loss, liability, cost or expense shall be payable out of amounts on deposit in respect of such Serviced Loan Combination in the Collection Account and/or the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account, collectively, prior to payment from funds in the Distribution Account or the Collection Account that are unrelated to such Serviced Loan Combination; and (ii) such loss, liability, cost or expense shall be payable out of amounts on deposit in the Collection Account and/or the Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Custodial Account, (withdrawals from those accounts shall be made in accordance with the related Intercreditor Agreement and pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal balances of the Mortgage Loan and any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan included in the related Serviced Loan Combination). Insofar as any such loss, liability, cost or expense related to any Serviced Loan Combination is so paid by withdrawal from the Collection Account or Distribution Account and funds are subsequently received and allocable to the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s), then the Master Servicer shall deposit the amount of such loss, liability, cost or expense into the Collection Account from such funds so received and allocable to the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan(s).

 

(b)          The Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Tax Administrator (each in its capacity as such or in its individual capacity) and any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents or affiliates are entitled to be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust Fund out of the Collection Account and/or the Distribution Account, as and to the extent provided in Section 3.05, for and against any loss, liability, claim or expense (including costs and expenses of litigation, and of investigation, reasonable counsel fees, damages, judgments and amounts paid in settlement) arising out of, or incurred in connection with, this Agreement, the Certificates, the Mortgage Loans (unless, in the case of the Trustee, it incurs any such expense or liability in the capacity of successor to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer (as the case may be), in which case such expense or liability will be reimbursable thereto in the same manner as it would be for any other Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be) or any act or omission of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Tax Administrator relating to the exercise and performance of any of the rights and duties, including the appointment of a replacement Trust Advisor, of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Tax Administrator hereunder; provided that none of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Tax Administrator shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 8.05(b) for (1) allocable overhead, such as costs for office space, office equipment, supplies and related expenses, employee salaries and related expenses and similar internal costs and expenses, (2) any cost or expense that does not constitute an “unanticipated expense” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii), (3) any expense or liability specifically required to be borne thereby pursuant to the terms hereof or (4) any loss, liability, claim or expense incurred by reason of any breach on the part of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Tax Administrator of any of their respective representations, warranties or covenants contained herein or any willful misconduct, bad faith, fraud or negligence in the performance of, or negligent disregard of, the Trustee’s, the Certificate Administrator’s or the Tax Administrator’s obligations and duties hereunder.

 

373
 

  

(c)          The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer each shall indemnify the Trust, the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator and the Tax Administrator (each in their respective capacity as such and in their individual capacity), and each Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder, for and hold each of them harmless against any loss, liability, claim or expense that is a result of the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as the case may be, negligent acts or omissions in connection with this Agreement, including the negligent use by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, of any powers of attorney delivered to it by the Trustee pursuant to the provisions hereof and the Mortgage Loans serviced by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be; provided that, if the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator or the Tax Administrator has been reimbursed for such loss, liability, claim or expense pursuant to Section 8.05(b) above, then the indemnity in favor of such Person provided for in this Section 8.05(c) with respect to such loss, liability, claim or expense shall be for the benefit of the Trust. For the purposes of this paragraph, the Master Servicer or Special Servicer will be deemed not to have committed negligent acts or omissions in connection with this Agreement 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 its reasonably exercised judgment determines that following the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents would or potentially would result in an Adverse REMIC Event (for which determination, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be entitled to rely on advice of counsel, the cost of which shall be reimbursed as an Additional Trust Fund Expense).

 

(d)          Each of the Trustee, the Custodian, the Certificate Administrator and the Tax Administrator shall indemnify each of the Trust, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer and each other (each in their respective capacity as such and in their individual capacity) and each Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder for and hold each of them harmless against any loss, liability, claim or expense that is a result of the Trustee’s, the Certificate Administrator’s, the Custodian’s or the Tax Administrator’s, as the case may be, negligent acts or omissions in connection with this Agreement; provided that if such indemnified person has been reimbursed for such loss, liability, claim or expense pursuant to Section 6.03 or Section 8.05(b), as the case may be, then the indemnity in favor of such Person otherwise provided for in this Section 8.05(d) with respect to such loss, liability, claim or expense shall be for the benefit of the Trust.

 

(e)          The Certificate Administrator shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor, each Mortgage Loan Seller, each Underwriter and each Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holder from and against any claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and expenses and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses incurred by the Depositor, each Mortgage Loan Seller, each Underwriter or any of their respective Affiliates that arise out of or are based upon (i) a breach by the Certificate Administrator, in its capacity as Rule 17g-5 Information Provider, of its obligations under this Agreement or (ii) negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Certificate Administrator, in its capacity as Rule 17g-5 Information Provider, in the performance of such obligations or its negligent disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement.

 

(f)           This Section 8.05 shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the resignation or removal of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Tax Administrator, the

 

374
 

 

Master Servicer or the Special Servicer as regards rights and obligations prior to such termination, resignation or removal.

In addition: (i) the Trustee shall at all times meet the requirements of Section 26(a)(1) of the Investment Company Act; and (ii) the Trustee may not have any affiliations or act in any other capacity with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby that would cause the Exemption to be unavailable with respect to any Class of Certificates as to which it would otherwise be available. Furthermore, the Certificate Administrator, the Tax Administrator and the Trustee shall at all times maintain a short-term unsecured debt rating of at least “F1” by Fitch and “P-1” by Moody’s (or, in the case of either such Rating Agency, such lower rating as is the subject of a Rating Agency Confirmation by such Rating Agency and Morningstar and, if applicable, an analogous rating agency confirmation from each Pari Passu Companion Loan Rating Agency) and a long-term unsecured debt rating of at least “A-” by Fitch and “A2” by Moody’s (if it has a short-term unsecured debt rating of at least “P-1” by Moody’s), provided that the Trustee may maintain a long-term unsecured debt rating of “Baa2” by Moody’s and a short-term unsecured debt rating of “P-2” by Moody’s if the Master Servicer maintains a long-term unsecured debt rating of at least “A2” by Moody’s (or such lower rating as is the subject of a Rating Agency Confirmation by such Rating Agency and Morningstar) (provided that this proviso shall not impose on the Master Servicer any obligation to maintain such rating).

(d)           Any resignation or removal of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Tax Administrator and appointment of a successor trustee, certificate administrator or tax administrator, as the case may be, pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.07 shall not become effective until (i) acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, certificate administrator or tax administrator, as the case may be, as provided in Section 8.08 and (ii) if the successor trustee, certificate administrator or tax administrator, as the case may be, does not have debt ratings that satisfy the criteria set forth in Section 8.06, the appointment of such successor trustee, certificate administrator or tax administrator, as the case may be, is the subject of a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency (and, if applicable, an analogous rating agency confirmation from each Pari Passu Companion Loan Rating Agency).

 

(e)           Upon resignation, assignment, merger, consolidation, or transfer of the Trustee or its business to a successor, or upon the removal of the Trustee, the outgoing Trustee at its own expense (without right of reimbursement therefor) shall ensure that, prior to consummation of such transaction or as part of its transfer of duties to any successor, (i) the original executed Mortgage Note for each Mortgage Loan (to the extent that the original executed Mortgage Note for each Mortgage Loan was endorsed to the outgoing trustee) is endorsed (without recourse, representation or warranty, express or implied) to the order of the successor, as trustee for the Certificateholders (with the endorsement to recite as endorsee “[name of successor Trustee], as Trustee for the registered holders of Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Trust 2015-C31, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2015-C31”), or in blank, and further showing a complete, unbroken chain of endorsement from the originator (if such originator is not the applicable Mortgage Loan Seller) (or, alternatively, if the original executed Mortgage Note has been lost, a lost note affidavit and indemnity with a copy of such Mortgage Note), and (ii) in the case of the other Mortgage Loan Documents, the same are assigned (and, other than in connection with the removal of the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.07(c), recorded as appropriate) to such successor (with the assignment to recite as assignee “[name of successor Trustee], as Trustee for the registered holders of Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Trust 2015-C31, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2015-C31”), or in blank, and such successor shall review the documents delivered to it or the Custodian with respect to each Mortgage Loan, and certify in writing that, as to each Mortgage Loan then subject to this Agreement, such endorsement and assignment has been made. The outgoing Trustee shall provide copies of the documentation provided for in items (i) and (ii) above to the Master Servicer, in each case to the extent such copies are not already in the Master Servicer’s possession. If the Trustee is removed pursuant to Section 8.07(c), the Mortgage Loan Documents identified in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence shall, if appropriate, be recorded by the successor trustee if so requested by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer and at the expense of the Trust (i) during any Subordinate Control Period (other than with respect to a related Excluded Loan), with the consent of the Subordinate Class Representative, (ii) during any Collective Consultation Period, after consultation with the Subordinate Class Representative

Section 8.08      Successor Trustee, Certificate Administrator and Tax Administrator. (a) Any successor trustee, certificate administrator or tax administrator appointed as provided in Section 8.07 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and its predecessor trustee, certificate administrator or tax administrator, as the case may be, an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee, certificate administrator or tax administrator, as the case may be, shall become effective and such successor trustee, certificate administrator or tax administrator, as the case may be, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as if originally named as trustee, certificate administrator or tax administrator herein. If the Trustee is being replaced, the predecessor trustee shall deliver to the successor trustee all Mortgage Files and related documents and statements

 

378
 

 

held by it hereunder (other than any Mortgage Files at the time held on its behalf by the Custodian, which Custodian shall become the agent of the successor trustee), and the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the predecessor trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required to more fully and certainly vest and confirm in the successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations, and to enable the successor trustee to perform its obligations hereunder.

 

(b)          No successor trustee, certificate administrator or tax administrator shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 8.08 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee, certificate administrator or tax administrator, as the case may be, shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 8.06.

Section 8.10      Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee. (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Fund or property securing the same may at the time be located, the Master Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Fund, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity, such title to the Trust Fund, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Master Servicer and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Master Servicer shall not have joined in such appointment within fifteen (15) days after the receipt by it of a request to do so, or in case a Servicer Termination Event in respect of the Master Servicer shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment.

379
 

 

(b)          In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee pursuant to this Section 8.10, all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or when acting as the Master Servicer or Special Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust Fund or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee or co-trustee at the direction of the Trustee.

 

(c)          Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article VIII. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee.

If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.

The Custodian may at any time resign by giving at least thirty (30) days’ advance written notice of resignation to the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Depositor. The resigning Custodian shall be required to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of each party to this Agreement, the Trust and each Rating Agency in connection with the resignation of the Custodian and the transfer of its duties (including, but not limited to, reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses associated with the engagement of a successor, transferring Mortgage Files and related information, records and reports to the successor). The Custodian shall comply with the requirements for Trustees set forth in Section 8.06 and shall have in place a fidelity bond and errors and omissions policy, each in such form and amount as is customarily required of custodians acting on behalf of Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae (or shall self-insure, to the extent that the Custodian is otherwise permitted to self-

(b)           Any single Subordinate Class Certificateholder or group of Subordinate Class Certificateholders, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, in that order of preference (as set forth more fully below), may at its option elect to purchase all the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property (or, in the case of any REO Property related to any Serviced Loan Combination, the beneficial interest of the Trust Fund in such REO Property) remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by clause (i) of Section 9.01(a) by giving written notice to the other parties hereto (and, in the case of an election by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, to the Holders of the Subordinate Class) no later than sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated date of purchase; provided that:

(A)           the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Pool at the time of such election is 1.0% or less of the Cut-off Date Pool Balance;

 

(B)           within thirty (30) days after written notice of such election is so given, no Person with a higher right of priority to make such an election does so; and

 

(C)           if more than one Subordinate Class Certificateholder or group of Subordinate Class Certificateholders desire to purchase all of the Mortgage Loans and any REO Properties remaining in the Trust Fund, preference shall be given to the Subordinate Class Certificateholder or group of Subordinate Class Certificateholders with the largest Percentage Interest in the Subordinate Class.

 

If the Trust is to be terminated in connection with the purchase of all the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property (or, in the case of any REO Property related to any Serviced Loan Combination, the beneficial interest of the Trust Fund in such REO Property) remaining in the

392
 

 

Trust Fund by any Subordinate Class Certificateholder(s), the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, such Person(s) shall: (i) deposit, or deliver to the Master Servicer for deposit, in the Collection Account (after the Determination Date, and prior to the Master Servicer Remittance Date relating to the anticipated Final Distribution Date) an amount in immediately available funds equal to the Termination Price; and (ii) shall reimburse all of the parties hereto (other than itself, if applicable) for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by such parties in connection with such purchase. On the Master Servicer Remittance Date for the Final Distribution Date, the Master Servicer shall transfer to the Distribution Account all amounts required to be transferred by it to such account on the Master Servicer Remittance Date from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.04(b), together with any other amounts on deposit in the Collection Account that would otherwise be held for future distribution. Upon confirmation that such deposits and reimbursements have been made, the Custodian shall release or cause to be released to the purchasing party (or its designee) the Mortgage Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans and shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other instruments furnished to it by the purchasing party as shall be necessary to effectuate transfer of the remaining Mortgage Loans and REO Properties to the purchasing party (or its designee).

Following the date on which the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-SB and Class D Certificates and the Class A-S, Class B and Class C Regular Interests is reduced to zero, the Sole Certificateholder(s) shall have the right to exchange all of the Certificates for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property or, in the case of any REO Property related to any Serviced Loan Combination, the beneficial interest of the Trust Fund in such REO Property, remaining in the Trust Fund as contemplated by clause (ii) of Section 9.01(a) by giving written notice to all the parties hereto no later than sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated date of exchange. If the Sole Certificateholder(s) elect(s) to exchange all of the Certificates for all of the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund in accordance with the preceding sentence, such Sole Certificateholder(s), not later than the Business Day prior to the Distribution Date on which the final distribution on the Certificates is to occur, shall deposit in the Collection Account an amount in immediately available funds equal to all amounts then due and owing to the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Tax Administrator and/or the Trustee hereunder (and their respective agents) that may be withdrawn from the Collection Account, pursuant to Section 3.05(a), or that may be withdrawn from the Distribution Account, pursuant to Section 3.05(b), but only to the extent that such amounts are not already on deposit in the Collection Account. In addition, the Master Servicer shall transfer to the Distribution Account all amounts required to be transferred by it to such account on the Master Servicer Remittance Date from the Collection Account pursuant to the first paragraph of Section 3.04(b). Upon confirmation that such final deposits have been made and following the surrender of all the Certificates on the Final Distribution Date, the Trustee shall release or cause to be released to the Sole Certificateholder(s) (or any designee thereof), the Mortgage Files for the remaining Mortgage Loans and shall execute all assignments, endorsements and other instruments furnished to it by the Sole Certificateholder(s) as shall be necessary to effectuate transfer of the remaining Mortgage Loans and REO Properties to the Sole Certificateholder(s) (or any designee thereof). For federal income tax purposes, such surrender and release shall be treated as a purchase of such Mortgage Loans and REO Properties for an amount of cash equal to all amounts due in respect thereof after the distribution of amounts remaining in the Distribution Account, and a crediting of such amounts as a final distribution on all remaining REMIC I

393
 

 

Regular Interests, REMIC II Regular Interests, Regular Certificates and the Class A-S Regular Interest, Class B Regular Interest and Class C Regular Interest.

 

(c)           Notice of any termination shall be given promptly by the Certificate Administrator by letter to Certificateholders posted to the Certificate Administrator’s Website and mailed (x) if such notice is given in connection with the purchase of all the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and/or any Subordinate Class Certificateholder(s), not earlier than the 15th day and not later than the 25th day of the month next preceding the month of the final distribution on the Certificates and (y) otherwise during the month of such final distribution on or before the Master Servicer Remittance Date in such month, in any event specifying (i) the Distribution Date upon which the Trust Fund will terminate and final payment on the Certificates will be made, (ii) the amount of any such final payment in respect of each Class of Certificates and (iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office or agency of the Certificate Administrator therein designated. The Certificate Administrator shall give such notice to the other parties hereto at the time such notice is given to Certificateholders.

(d)           Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates by the Certificateholders on the Final Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to each Certificateholder so presenting and surrendering its Certificates such Certificateholder’s Percentage Interest of that portion of the amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account that is allocable to payments on the relevant Class in accordance with Section 4.01. Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of any Class on the Final Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or Holders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held uninvested in trust and credited to the account or accounts of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to this Section 9.01 shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six (6) months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice all such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator, directly or through an agent, shall take such reasonable steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning the surrender of their Certificates as it shall deem appropriate. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders following the first anniversary of the delivery of such second notice to the non-tendering Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any former Holder on any amount held in trust hereunder. If by the second anniversary of the delivery of such second notice, all of the Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, then, subject to applicable escheat laws, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute to the Class R Certificateholders all unclaimed funds and other assets which remain subject hereto.

 

Section 9.02     Additional Termination Requirements. (a) If any Subordinate Class Certificateholder(s), the Master Servicer, and/or the Special Servicer purchase(s), or the Sole Certificateholder(s) exchange(s) all of the Certificates for, all the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property (or, in the case of any REO Property related to any Serviced Loan Combination,

394
 

 

the beneficial interest of the Trust Fund in such REO Property) remaining in the Trust Fund as provided in Section 9.01 above, the Trust and each REMIC Pool shall be terminated in accordance with the following additional requirements, unless the purchasing party obtains at its own expense and delivers to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator an Opinion of Counsel, addressed to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, to the effect that the failure of the Trust to comply with the requirements of this Section 9.02 will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event with respect to any REMIC Pool:

 

(i)        the Certificate Administrator shall specify the first day in the 90-day liquidation period in a statement attached to the final Tax Return for each REMIC Pool, pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.860F-1 and shall satisfy all requirements of a qualified liquidation under Section 860F of the Code and any regulations thereunder (as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered on behalf and at the expense of the purchasing party);

(ii)      during such 90-day liquidation period and at or prior to the time of making the final payment on the Certificates, the Certificate Administrator shall sell or otherwise transfer all the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the applicable Subordinate Class Certificateholder(s) or the Sole Certificateholder(s), as the case may be, in exchange for cash and/or Certificates in accordance with Section 9.01; and

(iii)     at the time of the final payment on the Certificates, the Certificate Administrator shall distribute or credit, or cause to be distributed or credited, to the Holders of the Certificates in accordance with Section 4.01 all remaining cash on hand (other than cash retained to meet claims), and each REMIC Pool shall terminate at that time.

(b)         By their acceptance of Certificates, the Holders of the Certificates hereby authorize the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Tax Administrator to prepare and adopt, on behalf of the Trust, a plan of complete liquidation of each REMIC Pool in the form of the notice of termination provided for in Section 9.01(c) and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, which authorization shall be binding upon all successor Certificateholders.

The legal expenses and costs of any action described in this Section 10.01(b) and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust payable out of amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account as provided by Section 3.05(b) unless such legal expenses and costs are incurred by reason of a Tax Matters Person’s or the Tax Administrator’s misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of, or such Person’s reckless disregard of, its obligations or are expressly provided by this Agreement to be borne by any party hereto.

relevant tax laws. The Trustee or the Tax Administrator, as applicable, shall not knowingly take or fail to take any action, or cause any REMIC Pool to take or fail to take any action that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could result in an Adverse REMIC Event in respect of any REMIC Pool, unless the Trustee or the Tax Administrator, as applicable, has received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the contemplated action or non-action, as the case may be, will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event. None of the other parties hereto shall take or fail to take any action (whether or not authorized hereunder) as to which the Trustee or the Tax Administrator, as applicable, has advised it in writing that it has received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur with respect to such action. In addition, prior to taking any action with respect to any REMIC Pool or the assets thereof, or causing any REMIC Pool to take any action, which is not contemplated by the terms of this Agreement, each of the other parties hereto will consult with the Tax Administrator, in writing, with respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur, and no such other party shall take any such action or cause any REMIC Pool to take any such action as to which the Tax Administrator has advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur. The Tax Administrator may consult with counsel to make such written advice, and the cost of same shall be borne by the party seeking to take the action not permitted by this Agreement (and in no event by the Trust Fund or the Tax Administrator).

(f)           If any tax is imposed on any REMIC Pool, including “prohibited transactions” taxes as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, any tax on “net income from foreclosure property” as defined in Section 860G(c) of the Code, any taxes on contributions to any REMIC Pool after the Startup Day pursuant to Section 860G(d) of the Code, and any other tax imposed by the Code or any applicable provisions of state or local tax laws (other than any tax permitted to be incurred by the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.17(a)), then such tax, together with all incidental costs and expenses (including penalties and reasonable attorneys’ fees), shall be charged to and paid by: (i) the Trustee, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach of any of its obligations under Article IV, Article VIII or this Section 10.01 (which breach constitutes negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct); (ii) the Certificate Administrator, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Certificate Administrator of any of its obligations under Article IV, Article VIII or this Section 10.01 (which breach constitutes negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct); (iii) the Tax Administrator, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Tax Administrator of any of its obligations under Article IV, Article VIII or this Section 10.01 (which breach constitutes negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct); (iv) the Master Servicer, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Master Servicer of any of its obligations under Article III or this Section 10.01 (which breach constitutes negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct); (v) the Special Servicer, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Special Servicer of any of its obligations under Article III or this Section 10.01 (which breach constitutes negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct); or (vi) the Trust, out of the Trust Fund, in all other instances. Consistent with the foregoing, any tax permitted to be incurred by the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.17(a) shall be charged to and paid by the Trust. Any such amounts payable by the Trust in respect of taxes shall be paid by the Trustee out of amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account.

(g)           The Tax Administrator shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books and records with respect to each REMIC Pool on a calendar year and an accrual basis.

397
 

 

(h)           Following the Startup Day for each REMIC Pool, the Trustee shall not (except as contemplated by Section 2.03) accept any contributions of assets to any REMIC Pool unless it shall have received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to cause such contribution and in no event at the expense of the Trust Fund or the Trustee) to the effect that the inclusion of such assets in such REMIC Pool will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event in respect of such REMIC Pool.

(i)            None of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee shall consent to or, to the extent it is within the control of such Person, permit: (i) the sale or disposition of any Mortgage Loan (except in connection with (A) a Breach or Document Defect regarding any Mortgage Loan, (B) the foreclosure, default or reasonably foreseeable material default of a Mortgage Loan, including the sale or other disposition of a Mortgaged Property acquired by foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, (C) the bankruptcy of any REMIC Pool, or (D) the termination of the Trust pursuant to Article IX of this Agreement); (ii) the sale or disposition of any investments in any Investment Account for gain; or (iii) the acquisition of any assets for the Trust (other than a Mortgaged Property acquired through foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise in respect of a Defaulted Mortgage Loan, other than a Replacement Mortgage Loan substituted for a Deleted Mortgage Loan and other than Permitted Investments acquired in connection with the investment of funds in an Account or an interest in a single-member limited liability company, as provided in Section 3.16); in any event unless it has received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to cause such sale, disposition, or acquisition and in no event at the expense of the Trust Fund or the Trustee) to the effect that such sale, disposition, or acquisition will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event in respect of any REMIC Pool.

(j)            Except as otherwise permitted by Section 3.17(a), none of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee shall enter into any arrangement by which any REMIC Pool will receive a fee or other compensation for services or, to the extent it is within the control of such Person, permit any REMIC Pool to receive any income from assets other than “qualified mortgages” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code or “permitted investments” as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code. At all times as may be required by the Code, each of the respective parties hereto (to the extent it is within its control) shall take necessary actions within the scope of its responsibilities as more specifically set forth in this Agreement such that it does not cause substantially all of the assets of each REMIC Pool to fail to consist of “qualified mortgages” as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code and “permitted investments” as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.

(k)          Within thirty (30) days after the related Startup Day, the Tax Administrator shall obtain an identification number by filing IRS Form SS-4 with the IRS for each REMIC Pool and prepare and file with the IRS, with respect to each REMIC Pool, IRS Form 8811 “Information Return for Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduits (REMICs) and Issuers of Collateralized Debt Obligations”.

Section 10.02      Grantor Trust Administration. (a) The Tax Administrator shall treat the Grantor Trust Pool, for tax return preparation purposes, as a Grantor Trust under the Code. The Tax Administrator shall also perform on behalf of the Grantor Trust Pool all reporting and other tax compliance duties that are the responsibility of such Grantor Trust Pool

398
 

 

under the Code or any compliance guidance issued by the IRS or any state or local taxing authorities. The expenses of preparing and filing such returns shall be borne by the Tax Administrator.

(b)          The Tax Administrator shall pay out of its own funds any and all routine tax administration expenses of the Trust Fund incurred with respect to the Grantor Trust Pool (but not including any professional fees or expenses related to audits or any administrative or judicial proceedings with respect to the Trust Fund that involve the IRS or state tax authorities which extraordinary expenses shall be payable or reimbursable to the Tax Administrator from the assets in the Grantor Trust Pool, unless otherwise provided in Section 10.02(e) or 10.02(f)).

(c)          The Tax Administrator shall prepare or cause to be prepared, submit to the Trustee for execution (and the Trustee shall timely execute and timely return to the Tax Administrator) and timely file all of the Tax Returns in respect of the Grantor Trust Pool. The expenses of preparing and filing such returns shall be borne by the Tax Administrator without any right of reimbursement therefor. Except as provided in Section 10.02(h), 10.02(i) and 10.02(j), the Tax Administrator shall comply with such requirement by filing IRS Form 1041, indicating the name and address of the Trust and signed by the Tax Administrator but otherwise left blank, IRS Form 1099 or any other such form as may be applicable. There shall be appended to each such form a schedule for each Certificateholder indicating such Certificateholder’s share of income and expenses of the Trust for the portion of the preceding calendar year in which such Certificateholder possessed an Ownership Interest in a Certificate. Such form shall be prepared in sufficient detail to enable reporting on the cash or accrual method of accounting, as applicable, and to report on such Certificateholder’s fiscal year if other than the calendar year.

(d)          The other parties hereto shall provide on a timely basis to the Tax Administrator or its designee such information with respect to the Grantor Trust Pool as is in its possession and reasonably requested by the Tax Administrator to enable it to perform its obligations under this Section 10.02. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Depositor, within ten (10) days following the Tax Administrator’s request therefor, shall provide in writing to the Tax Administrator such information as is reasonably requested by the Tax Administrator for tax purposes, and the Tax Administrator’s duty to perform its reporting and other tax compliance obligations under this Section 10.02 shall be subject to the condition that it receives from the Depositor such information possessed by the Depositor that is necessary to permit the Tax Administrator to perform such obligations.

(e)           The Tax Administrator shall perform on behalf of the Grantor Trust Pool all reporting and other tax compliance duties that are required in respect thereof under the Code, the Grantor Trust Provisions or other compliance guidance issued by the IRS or any state or local taxing authority, including the furnishing to Certificateholders of the schedules described in Section 10.02(c).

(f)            The Tax Administrator shall perform its duties hereunder so as to maintain the status of the Grantor Trust Pool as Grantor Trust under the Grantor Trust Provisions (and the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall assist the Tax Administrator to the extent reasonably requested by the Tax Administrator and to the extent of information within the Trustee’s, the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s possession or control). None of the

399
 

 

Tax Administrator, Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee shall knowingly take (or cause the Grantor Trust Pool to take) any action or fail to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action that, under the Grantor Trust Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could result in an Adverse Grantor Trust Event, unless the Tax Administrator has obtained or received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party requesting such action or at the expense of the Trust Fund if the Tax Administrator seeks to take such action or to refrain from taking any action for the benefit of the Certificateholders) to the effect that the contemplated action will not result in an Adverse Grantor Trust Event. None of the other parties hereto shall take any action or fail to take any action (whether or not authorized hereunder) as to which the Tax Administrator has advised it in writing that the Tax Administrator has received or obtained an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that an Adverse Grantor Trust Event could result from such action or failure to act. In addition, prior to taking any action with respect to the Grantor Trust Pool, or causing the Trust Fund to take any action, that is not expressly permitted under the terms of this Agreement, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall consult with the Tax Administrator or its designee, in writing, with respect to whether such action could cause an Adverse Grantor Trust Event to occur. The Tax Administrator may consult with counsel to make such written advice, and the cost of same shall be borne by the party seeking to take the action not permitted by this Agreement, but in no event at the cost or expense of the Trust Fund, the Tax Administrator or the Trustee.

(g)           If any tax is imposed on the Grantor Trust Pool pursuant to the Code or any applicable provisions of state or local tax laws, then such tax, together with all incidental costs and expenses (including penalties and reasonable attorneys’ fees), shall be charged to and paid by: (i) the Trustee, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach of any of its obligations under Article IV, Article VIII or this Section 10.02 (which breach constitutes negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct); (ii) the Certificate Administrator, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Certificate Administrator of any of its obligations under Article IV, Article VIII or this Section 10.02 (which breach constitutes negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct); (iii) the Tax Administrator, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Tax Administrator of any of its obligations under Article IV, Article VIII or this Section 10.02 (which breach constitutes negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct); (iv) the Master Servicer, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Master Servicer of any of its obligations under Article III or this Section 10.02 (which breach constitutes negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct); (v) the Special Servicer, if such tax arises out of or results from a breach by the Special Servicer of any of its obligations under Article III or this Section 10.02 (which breach constitutes negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct); or (vi) the Trust, out of the Trust Fund, in all other instances. Any such amounts payable by the Trust in respect of taxes shall be paid by the Trustee out of amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account.

(h)           The Grantor Trust is a WHFIT that is a WHMT. The Tax Administrator will report as required under the WHFIT Regulations to the extent such information as is reasonably necessary to enable the Tax Administrator to do so is provided to the Tax Administrator on a timely basis. The Certificate Administrator shall provide such information in its possession to the Tax Administrator on a timely basis. With respect to the Class A-S, Class B, Class C and Class PEX Certificates, if the Tax Administrator receives notice that any such Certificate is held through a nominee, the Tax Administrator will treat such nominee as the “middleman” with respect to such certificate unless it has actual knowledge to the contrary or the Depositor

400
 

 

provides the Tax Administrator with the identities of other “middlemen” that are Certificateholders. The Tax Administrator will report as required under the WHFIT Regulations to the extent such information as is reasonably necessary to enable the Tax Administrator to do so, and is not in its possession, is provided to the Tax Administrator on a timely basis. The Tax Administrator will not be liable for any tax reporting penalties that may arise under the WHFIT Regulations as a result of a determination by the IRS that is contrary to the first sentence of this paragraph or that the notice received with respect to any such Certificate as described above is incorrect.

(i)            The Tax Administrator, in its discretion, will report required WHFIT information using either the cash or accrual method, except to the extent the WHFIT Regulations specifically require a different method. The Tax Administrator will be under no obligation to determine whether any Certificateholder uses the cash or accrual method. The Tax Administrator will make available WHFIT information to Certificateholders annually. In addition, the Tax Administrator will not be responsible or liable for providing subsequently amended, revised or updated information to any Certificateholder, unless requested by the Certificateholder.

(j)            The Tax Administrator shall not be liable for failure to meet the reporting requirements of the WHFIT Regulations nor for any penalties thereunder if such failure is due to: (i) the lack of reasonably necessary information being provided to the Tax Administrator or (ii) incomplete, inaccurate or untimely information being provided to the Tax Administrator. Each owner of a class of securities representing, in whole or in part, beneficial ownership of an interest in a WHFIT, by acceptance of its interest in such class of securities, will be deemed to have agreed to provide the Tax Administrator with information regarding any sale of such securities, including the price, amount of proceeds and date of sale. Absent receipt of such information, and unless informed otherwise by the Depositor, the Tax Administrator will assume there is no secondary market trading of WHFIT interests.

(k)           To the extent required by the WHFIT Regulations, the Tax Administrator will use reasonable efforts to publish on an appropriate website the CUSIPs for the Certificates that represent ownership of a WHFIT. The CUSIPs so published will represent the Rule 144A CUSIPs. The Tax Administrator will not publish any associated Regulation S CUSIPs. The Tax Administrator will make reasonable good faith efforts to keep the website accurate and updated to the extent CUSIPs have been received. Absent the receipt of a CUSIP, the Tax Administrator will use a reasonable identifier number in lieu of a CUSIP. The Tax Administrator will not be liable for investor reporting delays that result from the receipt of inaccurate or untimely CUSIP information.

Article XI

EXCHANGE ACT REPORTING AND REGULATION AB COMPLIANCE

Section 11.01      Intent of the Parties; Reasonableness. Except with respect to Section 11.09, Section 11.12, Section 11.14, Section 11.15, Section 11.16, Section 11.17 and Section 11.18, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the purpose of Article XI of this Agreement is to facilitate compliance by the Depositor (and any Other Depositor) with the provisions of Regulation AB and related rules and regulations of the Commission. The Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, any Other Depositor and any Other Trustee shall exercise its rights to request delivery of information or other performance under these provisions in reasonable good faith, and shall not exercise any such rights for purposes other than compliance with the Dodd-Frank Act, the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and, in each case, the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that interpretations of the requirements of Regulation AB may change over time due to interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff, and agree to comply with reasonable requests made by the Depositor (or any Other Depositor or Other Trustee) or the Certificate Administrator in reasonable good faith for delivery of information under these provisions on the basis of such evolving interpretations of Regulation AB (to the extent such interpretations require compliance and are not “grandfathered”). In connection with this transaction and any Other Securitization subject to Regulation AB, the Exchange Act or the Securities Act, subject to the preceding sentence, each of the parties to this Agreement shall cooperate (and, in the case of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, shall cause any Sub-Servicer engaged by it (or, if such Sub-Servicer is a Designated Sub-Servicer, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Sub-Servicer) to cooperate) fully with the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator and any Other Depositor or Other Trustee of any Other Securitization subject to Regulation AB, the Exchange Act or the Securities Act, deliver (or notify and make available) to the Depositor or the Certificate Administrator or any such Other Depositor or Other Trustee (including any of their assignees or designees) (i) any and all information in its possession and necessary in the reasonable good faith determination of the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator or such Other Depositor or Other Trustee, as applicable, to permit the Depositor or any such Other Depositor to comply in a timely manner with the provisions of Regulation AB, the Exchange Act and the Securities Act and (ii) such disclosure relating to the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, as applicable, or the servicing of the Mortgage Loans (or, if applicable, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan), in each case reasonably believed by the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator or the related Other Depositor or the related Other Trustee, as applicable, in good

402
 

 

faith to be necessary in order to effect such compliance. In addition, with respect to each Servicing Function Participant that is a Designated Sub-Servicer of a party to this Agreement, such party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Designated Sub-Servicer to deliver or make available to the Depositor or the Certificate Administrator and any such Other Depositor or Other Trustee, as applicable, (including any of their assignees or designees) (i) any and all information in its possession and necessary in the reasonable good faith determination of the Depositor or the Certificate Administrator or any such Other Depositor or Other Trustee to permit the Depositor or any such Other Depositor to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB, the Exchange Act and the Securities Act and (ii) such disclosure relating to the Servicing Function Participant or the Servicing of the Mortgage Loans (or, if applicable, the related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan), in each case reasonably believed by the Depositor or the Certificate Administrator or the related Other Depositor or related Other Trustee, as applicable, in good faith to be necessary in order to effect such compliance. Each party to this Agreement shall have a reasonable period of time to comply with any written request made under this Section 11.01, but in any event, shall, upon reasonable advance written request, provide information in sufficient time to allow the Depositor or the Certificate Administrator or the related Other Depositor or related Other Trustee, as applicable, to satisfy any related filing requirements.

For purposes of this Article XI, to the extent any party has an obligation to exercise commercially reasonable efforts to cause a third party to perform, such party hereunder shall not be required to bring any legal action against such third party in connection with such obligation.

Section 11.02      Notification Requirements and Deliveries in Connection with Securitization of a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan. (a) Any other provision of this Article XI to the contrary notwithstanding, including, without limitation, any deadlines for delivery set forth in this Article XI, in connection with the requirements contained in this Article XI that provide for the delivery of information and other items to, and the cooperation with, the Other Depositor and Other Trustee of any Other Securitization that is subject to Regulation AB, no party hereunder shall be obligated to provide any such items to or cooperate with such Other Depositor or Other Trustee (i) unless it is required to deliver corresponding information and other items with respect to the Trust or, in the reasonable good faith determination of an Other Depositor or an Other Trustee, is necessary to permit the related Other Depositor to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB, the Exchange Act and the Securities Act, (ii) until the Other Depositor or Other Trustee of such Other Securitization has provided each party hereto with not less than 30 days’ written notice (which shall only be required to be delivered once) stating that such Other Securitization is subject to Regulation AB and that the Other Securitization is subject to Exchange Act reporting, and (iii) specifying in reasonable detail the information and other items requested to be delivered; provided that if Exchange Act reporting is being requested, such Other Depositor or Other Trustee is only required to provide a single written notice to such effect. Any reasonable cost and expense of the Master Servicer, Special Servicer, Trust Advisor, Trustee and Certificate Administrator in cooperating with such Other Depositor or Other Trustee of such Other Securitization (above and beyond their expressed duties hereunder) shall be the responsibility of such Other Depositor or Other Securitization. The parties hereto shall have the right to confirm in good faith with the Other Depositor of such Other Securitization as to whether Regulation AB requires the delivery of the items identified in this Article XI to such Other Depositor and Other Trustee of such Other Securitization prior to

403
 

 

providing any of the reports or other information required to be delivered under this Article XI in connection therewith. Upon such confirmation, the parties shall comply with the deadlines for delivery set forth in this Article XI with respect to such Other Securitization. The parties hereunder shall also have the right to require that such Other Depositor provide them with the contact details of such Other Depositor, Other Trustee and any other parties to the Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to such Other Securitization.

(b)          The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall, upon reasonable prior written request given in accordance with the terms of Section 11.02(a) above, and subject to a right of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, to review and approve such disclosure materials, permit a holder of a related Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan to use such party’s description contained in the Prospectus (updated as appropriate by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, at the cost of the Other Depositor) for inclusion in the disclosure materials relating to any securitization of a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan.

(c)          The Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, upon reasonable prior written request given in accordance with the terms of Section 11.02(a) above, shall each timely provide (to the extent the reasonable cost thereof is paid or caused to be paid by the requesting party as a condition precedent to the provision of any information or documentation) to the Other Depositor and any underwriters with respect to any Other Securitization such opinion(s) of counsel, certifications, compliance letters and/or indemnification agreement(s) with respect to the updated description referred to in Section 11.02(b) above with respect to such party, substantially identical to those, if any, delivered by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, or their respective counsel, in connection with the information concerning such party in the Prospectus and/or any other disclosure materials relating to this Trust (updated as deemed appropriate by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, or their respective legal counsel, as the case may be). Neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be obligated to deliver any such item with respect to the securitization of a Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan if it did not deliver a corresponding item with respect to this Trust.

Section 11.03      Sub-Servicers; Subcontractors and Agents. For so long as the Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, if any Person appointed as a subcontractor or agent of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator (whether appointed directly by such party or by a Sub-Servicer or subcontractor or agent) would be a Servicing Function Participant, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, shall promptly following request provide to the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator a written description (in form and substance satisfactory to the Depositor) of the role and function of such Person, which description shall include (i) the identity of such subcontractor, and (ii) which elements of the Servicing Criteria will be addressed in the assessments of compliance to be provided by such subcontractor or agent. In addition, except with respect to any Designated Sub-Servicer under a Sub-Servicing Agreement effective as of the Closing Date, for so long as the Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, if any Sub-Servicer, or any subcontractor or agent described above, would be a “servicer” within the meaning of Item 1101 of Regulation AB and meets the criteria in Item 1108(a)(2)(i), (ii) or (iii) of Regulation AB, the engagement of such Person in such capacity shall not be effective unless and until five (5) Business Days have elapsed following the delivery to the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator of (1) notice of

404
 

 

the proposed engagement and (2) the related agreement (or, if such agreement is not of the type that is required to be filed under Regulation AB in the good faith judgment of the Depositor, an instrument inuring to the direct benefit of the Depositor in which such Person affirms the rights of the Depositor contemplated by the next succeeding paragraph). Such notice shall contain all information reasonably necessary, and in such form as may be necessary, to enable the Certificate Administrator to accurately and timely report the event under Item 6.02 of Form 8-K pursuant to Section 11.10 (if such reports under the Exchange Act are required to be filed under the Exchange Act).

For so long as the Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, as applicable, shall (a) cause each such Sub-Servicing Agreement to entitle the Depositor to terminate such agreement (without compensation, termination fee or the consent of any other Person) at any time following any failure of such Person to deliver any Exchange Act reporting items that such Sub-Servicer is required to deliver under Regulation AB and (b) promptly notify the Depositor following any failure of such Sub-Servicer to deliver any Exchange Act reporting items that such Sub-Servicer is required to deliver under Regulation AB. The Depositor is hereby authorized to exercise the rights described in clause (a) of the preceding sentence in its sole discretion. The rights of the Depositor to terminate a Sub-Servicing Agreement as aforesaid shall not limit any right the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, may have to terminate such Sub-Servicing Agreement.

A duly authorized representative of the Depositor shall sign each Form 10-D filed on behalf of the Trust.

For so long as the Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and for so long as any Other Securitization is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, within five (5) calendar days after the related Distribution Date, (i) the parties listed on Schedule V hereto shall be required to provide to the Certificate Administrator and the Depositor (and in the case of any Servicing Function Participant with a copy to the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable) (and to any Other Trustee or Other Depositor), to the extent a Servicing Officer or Responsible Officer, as the case may be, thereof has actual knowledge (other than Item 1117 of Regulation AB as to such party which shall be reported if actually known by any Servicing Officer or Responsible Officer, as the case may be, or any lawyer in the in-house legal department of such party), in EDGAR-Compatible Format (to the extent available to such party in such format), or in such other format as otherwise agreed upon by the Certificate Administrator and the Depositor (or such Other Trustee and Other Depositor) and such party, the form and substance of the Additional Form 10-D Disclosure described on Schedule V applicable to such party, (ii) the parties listed on Schedule V hereto shall include with such Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, an Additional Disclosure Notification in the form attached hereto as Exhibit R and (iii) the Certificate Administrator shall, at any time prior to filing the related Form 10-D, provide prompt notice to the Depositor to the extent that the Certificate Administrator is notified of an event reportable on Form 10-D for which it has not received the necessary Additional Form 10-D Disclosure from the applicable party. No later than the 7th calendar day after the Distribution Date, the Depositor will approve, as to form and substance, or disapprove, as the case may be, the inclusion of the Additional Form 10-D Disclosure on Form 10-D; provided that if the Certificate Administrator does not receive a response from the Depositor by such time the Depositor will be deemed to have consented to the inclusion of such Additional Form 10-D Disclosure. Other than to the extent provided for in clause (iii) above, the

407
 

 

Certificate Administrator has no duty under this Agreement to monitor or enforce the performance by the parties listed on Schedule V of their duties under this paragraph or proactively solicit or procure from such parties any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure information. Any reasonable fees assessed and any expenses incurred by the Certificate Administrator in connection with including any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure on Form 10-D pursuant to this paragraph shall be reimbursable to the Certificate Administrator out of the Collection Account as an Additional Trust Fund Expense.

After preparing the Form 10-D, the Certificate Administrator shall forward electronically a copy of the Form 10-D to the Depositor for review and approval; provided that the Certificate Administrator shall use its reasonable best efforts to provide such copy to the Depositor by the 8th day after the Distribution Date. No later than the end of business on the 4th Business Day prior to the filing date, the Depositor shall notify the Certificate Administrator in writing (which may be furnished electronically) of any changes to or approval of such Form 10-D, and no later than the 2nd Business Day prior to the filing, a duly authorized representative of the Depositor shall sign the Form 10-D and return an electronic or fax copy of such signed Form 10-D (with an original executed hard copy to follow by overnight mail) to the Certificate Administrator. The Certificate Administrator shall file such Form 10-D, upon signature thereof as provided in Section 11.17, not later than (i) 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the 15th calendar day after the related Distribution Date or (ii) such other time as the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator mutually agree is permitted by the Commission for the filing such Form 10-D. If a Form 10-D cannot be filed on time or if a previously filed Form 10-D needs to be amended, the Certificate Administrator will follow the procedures set forth in Section 11.11(b). After filing with the Commission, the Certificate Administrator shall, pursuant to Section 8.12(b), make available on the Certificate Administrator’s Website a final executed copy of each Form 10-D prepared and filed by the Certificate Administrator. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the performance by the Certificate Administrator of its duties under this Section 11.07 related to the timely preparation and filing of Form 10-D is contingent upon such parties (and any Additional Servicer or Servicing Function Participant) observing all applicable deadlines in the performance of their duties under this Section 11.07. The Certificate Administrator shall have no liability for any loss, expense, damage, claim arising out of or with respect to any failure to properly prepare or file such Form 10-D where such failure results from the Certificate Administrator’s inability or failure to receive on a timely basis any information from any other party hereto needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file such Form 10-D, not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

The Certificate Administrator shall include in any Form 10-D filed by it (i) the information required by Rule 15Ga-1(a) concerning all assets of the Trust that were subject of a demand for the repurchase of, or the substitution of a Qualifying Substitute Mortgage Loan for, a Mortgage Loan contemplated by Section 2.03(b) and (ii) a reference to the most recent Form ABS-15G filed pursuant to Rule 15Ga-1 by the Depositor and each Mortgage Loan Seller, if applicable, and the Commission’s assigned “Central Index Key” for each such filer, (iii) an itemized listing of any Disclosable Special Servicer Fees received by the Special Servicer or any of its Affiliates during the related Collection Period, and (iv) the balance of the Distribution Account as of the related Distribution Date and as of the immediately preceding Distribution Date. The Depositor and each Mortgage Loan Seller, in accordance with, and to the extent contemplated by, Section 5(h) of the applicable Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, shall

408
 

 

deliver such information to the Certificate Administrator. The Certificate Administrator and the Depositor shall be entitled together to determine the manner of the presentation of such information (including the dates as of which information is presented) in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

Form 10-D requires the registrant to indicate (by checking “yes” or “no”) that it “(1) has filed all reports required to be filed by Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such reports) and (2) has been subject to such filing requirements for the past 90 days.” The Depositor hereby represents to the Certificate Administrator that the Depositor has filed all such required reports during the preceding 12 months and that it has been subject to such filing requirement for the past 90 days. The Depositor shall notify the Certificate Administrator in writing, no later than the 5th calendar day after the related Distribution Date during any year in which the Trust is required to file a Form 10-D if the answer to the questions should be “no”; provided that if the failure of the Depositor to have filed such required reports arises in connection with the securitization contemplated by this Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall be deemed to have notice of such failure (only with respect to Exchange Act reports prepared or required to be prepared and filed by the Certificate Administrator) without being notified by the Depositor; provided, further, that in connection with the delivery of any notice contemplated by this sentence, the Depositor may instruct the Certificate Administrator that such notice shall be effective for a period (not to exceed 12 months) from the date of such notice, in which case no further notice from the Depositor shall be required during such specified period. The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to rely on such representations in preparing, executing and/or filing any Form 10-D.

Each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trust Advisor and the Trustee shall indemnify and hold harmless each Certification Party, the Depositor and any Other Depositor, their respective directors and officers, and each other person who controls any such entity within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any and all expenses, losses, claims, damages and other liabilities, including without limitation the costs of investigation, legal defense and any amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation arising out of (i) the failure to perform its obligations to the Depositor or any Other Depositor or Certificate Administrator (or any Other Trustee) under this Article XI by the time required after giving effect to any applicable grace period or cure period or (ii) the failure of any Servicing Function Participant or Additional Servicer retained by it (other than a Designated Sub-Servicer) to perform its obligations to the Depositor or any Other Depositor or Certificate Administrator or any Other Trustee under this Article XI by the time required after giving effect to any applicable grace period and cure period or (iii) any Deficient Exchange Act Deliverable regarding, and delivered by or on behalf of, such party.

In addition, each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trust Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Tax Administrator, the Custodian and the Trustee shall cooperate (and require each Servicing Function Participant and Additional Servicer retained by it to cooperate under the applicable Sub-Servicing Agreement) with the Depositor and any Other Depositor as necessary for the Depositor or Other Depositor to conduct any reasonable due diligence necessary to evaluate and assess any material instances of non-compliance disclosed in any of the deliverables required by the applicable reporting requirements under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (“Reporting Requirements”).

In connection with comments provided to the Depositor or any Other Depositor from the Commission regarding information (x) delivered by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trust Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Tax Administrator, the Custodian, the Trustee, a Servicing Function Participant or an Additional Servicer, as applicable (“Affected Reporting Party”), (y) regarding such Affected Reporting Party, and (z) prepared by such Affected Reporting Party or any registered public accounting firm, attorney or other agent retained by such party to prepare such information, which information is contained in a report filed by the Depositor or Other Depositor under the Reporting Requirements and which comments are received subsequent to the Depositor’s or Other Depositor’s filing of such report, the Depositor or Other Depositor shall promptly provide to such Affected Reporting Party any

420
 

such comments which relate to such Affected Reporting Party. Such Affected Reporting Party shall be responsible for timely preparing a written response to the Commission for inclusion in the Depositor’s or Other Depositor’s response to the Commission, unless such Affected Reporting Party elects, with the consent of the Depositor or Other Depositor, as applicable (which consent shall not be unreasonably denied, withheld or delayed), to directly communicate with the Commission and negotiate a response and/or resolution with the Commission; provided, if an Affected Reporting Party is a Servicing Function Participant or Additional Servicer retained by the Master Servicer, the Master Servicer shall receive copies of all material communications pursuant to this paragraph. If such election is made, the applicable Affected Reporting Party shall be responsible for directly negotiating such response and/or resolution with the Commission in a timely manner; provided, that (i) such Affected Reporting Party shall use reasonable efforts to keep the Depositor or Other Depositor informed of its progress with the Commission and copy the Depositor or Other Depositor on all correspondence with the Commission and provide the Depositor or Other Depositor with the opportunity to participate (at the Depositor’s or Other’s Depositor’s expense) in any telephone conferences and meetings with the Commission and (ii) the Depositor or Other Depositor shall cooperate with any Affected Reporting Party in order to authorize such Affected Reporting Party and its representatives to respond to and negotiate directly with the Commission with respect to any comments from the Commission relating to such Affected Reporting Party and to notify the Commission of such authorization. The Depositor (or Other Depositor) and the Affected Reporting Party shall cooperate and coordinate with one another with respect to any requests made to the Commission for extension of time for submitting a response or compliance. All respective reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Depositor or Other Depositor (including reasonable legal fees and expenses of outside counsel to the Depositor or Other Depositor) in connection with the foregoing (other than those costs and expenses required to be at the Depositor’s or Other Depositor’s expense as set forth above) and any amendments to any reports filed with the Commission therewith shall be promptly paid by the applicable Affected Reporting Party upon receipt of an itemized invoice from the Depositor or Other Depositor. Each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trust Advisor, the Certificate Administrator, the Tax Administrator, the Custodian and the Trustee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any Servicing Function Participant or Additional Servicer retained by it to comply with the foregoing by inclusion of similar provisions (or by inclusion of a reference to, and an obligation to comply with, this paragraph) in the related sub-servicing or similar agreement.

The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee and the Trust Advisor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each related Servicing Function Participant (other than any party to this Agreement) with which it has entered into a servicing relationship with respect to the Mortgage Loans, to indemnify and hold harmless the Certification Parties from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and expenses and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses incurred by such Certification Party arising out of (i) a breach of its obligations to provide any of the annual compliance statements or annual assessment of servicing criteria or attestation reports pursuant to this Agreement, or the applicable Sub-Servicing Agreement or primary servicing agreement, as applicable or (ii) other than with respect to Designated Sub-Servicers, any Deficient Exchange Act Deliverable regarding, and delivered by or on behalf of, such Servicing Function Participant.

421
 

If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless any Certification Party, then the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Trust Advisor, each Additional Servicer or other Servicing Function Participant (the “Performing Party”) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Servicing Function Participant (other than any party to this Agreement) with which it has entered into a servicing relationship with respect to the Mortgage Loans, to contribute to the amount paid or payable to the Certification Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the Certification Party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Certification Party on the one hand and the Performing Party on the other in connection with a breach of the Performing Party’s obligations pursuant to this Article XI. The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trust Advisor and the Trustee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each related Servicing Function Participant (other than any party to this Agreement) with which it has entered into a servicing relationship with respect to the Mortgage Loans to agree to the foregoing indemnification and contribution obligations.

Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party hereunder, notify in writing the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party under this Agreement except to the extent that such omission to notify materially prejudices the indemnifying party. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, after the indemnifying party has been notified of the commencement of such action, such indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein (at its own expense) and, to the extent that it may wish, shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof (jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified) with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election to so assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party for any expenses subsequently incurred in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have agreed to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them or (iii) the indemnifying party fails, within a reasonable period of time, to designate counsel that is reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). In no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) in any one jurisdiction separate from their own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. An indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent. However, if settled with such consent, the indemnifying party shall indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement to the extent that the indemnifying party is otherwise required to do so under this Agreement. If an indemnifying

422
 

party assumes the defense of any proceeding, it shall be entitled to settle such proceeding with the consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) or, if such settlement (i) provides for an unconditional release of the indemnified party in connection with all matters relating to the proceeding that have been asserted against the indemnified party in such proceeding by the other parties to such settlement and (ii) does not require an admission of fault by the indemnified party, without the consent of the indemnified party.

Section 11.16      Amendments. This Article XI may be amended by the written consent of all the parties hereto pursuant to Section 12.01 for purposes of complying with Regulation AB without, in each case, any Opinions of Counsel, Officer’s Certificates, Rating Agency Confirmations or the consent of any Certificateholder, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement; provided that no such amendment shall eliminate the reports or statements required by Section 11.12, Section 11.13 or Section 11.14 without the receipt of a letter from each Rating Agency confirming that the elimination of such reports and certificates will not result in a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the then-current rating of the Certificates.

(a) Each Form 8-K report, Form 10-D report and Form 10-K report shall be signed by the Depositor in accordance with procedures to be agreed upon by the Depositor and the Certificate Administrator.

(c)          For the avoidance of doubt:

(i)           neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be subject to a Servicer Termination Event pursuant to either the last clause of the definition of Servicer Termination Event nor shall any such party be deemed to not be in compliance under this Agreement, during any grace period provided for in this Article XI, provided that if any such party fails to comply with the delivery requirements of this Article XI by the expiration of any applicable grace period such failure shall constitute a Servicer Termination Event;

423
 

(ii)          neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be subject to a Servicer Termination Event pursuant to either the last clause of the definition of Servicer Termination Event nor shall any such party be deemed to not be in compliance under this Agreement, for failing to deliver any item required under this Article XI by the time required hereunder with respect to any reporting period for which the Trust is not required to file Exchange Act reports; and

(iii)         neither the Master Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be subject to a Servicer Termination Event pursuant to the last clause of the definition of Servicer Termination Event, nor shall any such party be deemed to not be in compliance under this Agreement, in connection with any failure of a Servicing Function Participant, Sub-Servicing Entity, Sub-Servicer or Designated Sub-Servicer that was hired or engaged by the other to deliver any Exchange Act reporting items that such Servicing Function Participant, Sub-Servicing Entity, Sub-Servicer or Designated Sub-Servicer is required to deliver.

(d)          In the event the Certificate Administrator or the Depositor does not receive the assessment of compliance and/or the attestation report with respect to any Servicing Function Participant, or with respect to any Servicing Function Participant retained or engaged by a party hereto that is actually known by a Responsible Officer of the Certificate Administrator or the Depositor, as the case may be, by March 15th of any year during which an annual report on Form 10-K is required to be filed with the Commission with respect to the Trust, then the Certificate Administrator shall, and the Depositor may, forward a Servicer Notice to such Servicing Function Participant or the party hereto that retained or engaged such Servicing Function Participant, as the case may be, with a copy of such Servicer Notice to the Depositor (if the Certificate Administrator is sending the Servicer Notice) or the Certificate Administrator (if the Depositor is sending the Servicer Notice), as applicable, within two (2) Business Days of such failure. For the purposes of this Article XI and Section 7.01 of this Agreement, a “Servicer Notice” shall constitute either any writing forwarded to such party or, in the case of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 12.05, e-mail notice or fax notice which, in the case of an email transmission, shall be forwarded to all of the following e-mail addresses for the applicable party: in the case of the Master Servicer, to the applicable email address as provided in Section 12.06, and in the case of the Special Servicer, to the applicable e-mail address as provided in writing by the Special Servicer upon request, or such other e-mail addresses as are provided in writing by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to the Certificate Administrator and the Depositor (but any party to this Agreement (or someone acting on their behalf) shall only be required to forward any such notice to be delivered to the Master Servicer to no more than three e-mail addresses in the aggregate in order to fulfill its notification requirements as set forth in the preceding sentence and/or under the provisions of Section 7.01. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the forwarding of a Servicer Notice shall not relieve the Master Servicer or Special Servicer of any liability under Section 7.01(a)(xiii) for the failure of any Servicing Function Participant or Sub-Servicing Entity to deliver any Exchange Act reporting items pursuant to this Article XI.

Section 11.18       Termination of the Certificate Administrator. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Depositor may terminate the Certificate

424
 

Administrator upon five Business Days’ notice if the Certificate Administrator fails to comply with any of its obligations under this Article XI; provided that (a) such termination shall not be effective until a successor certificate administrator shall have accepted the appointment, (b) the Certificate Administrator may not be terminated if it cannot perform its obligations due to its failure to properly prepare or file on a timely basis any Form 8-K, Form 10-K or Form 10-D or any amendments to such forms or any Form 12b-25 where such failure results from the Certificate Administrator’s inability or failure to receive, within the exact time frames set forth in this Agreement any information, approval, direction or signature from any other party hereto needed to prepare, arrange for execution or file any such Form 8-K, Form 10-K or Form 10-D or any amendments to such forms or any form 12b-25 not resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, (c) if, following the Certificate Administrator’s failure to comply with any of such obligations under Section 11.07, Section 11.08, Section 11.10, Section 11.12, Section 11.13 or Section 11.14 on or prior to the dates and times by which such obligations are to be performed pursuant to, and as set forth in, such Sections the Certificate Administrator subsequently complies with such obligations before the Depositor gives written notice to it that it is terminated in accordance with this Section 11.18 and (d) the Certificate Administrator may not be terminated if the Certificate Administrator’s failure to comply does not cause it to fail in its obligations to timely file the related Form 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K, as the case may be, by the related deadline for filing such Form 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K, then the Depositor shall cease to have the right to terminate the Certificate Administrator under this Section 11.18 on the date on which such Form 8-K, Form 10-D or Form 10-K is so filed.

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the parties thereto and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the parties to the Agreement with the consent of (i) the Holders of Certificates entitled to not less than 66-2/3% of the Voting Rights allocated to each Class of Certificates that is materially affected by the amendment and (ii) any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders materially affected by the amendment.

The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, including any amendment necessary to maintain the status of any REMIC Pool as a REMIC, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

 

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Certificate Registrar, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

or agent for any Person that is not a Permitted Transferee. Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement by a proposed Transferee, if a Responsible Officer of either the Certificate Registrar or the Certificate Administrator has actual knowledge that the proposed Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee, no Transfer of an Ownership Interest in this Certificate to such proposed Transferee shall be effected. In connection therewith, the Certificate Registrar shall not register the transfer of an Ownership Interest in this Certificate to any entity classified as a partnership under the Code unless at the time of transfer, all of its beneficial owners are, and under the partnership agreements are required to be, United States Securities Persons.

 

Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in this Certificate shall agree (x) to require a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement from any other Person to whom such Person attempts to transfer its Ownership Interest herein and (y) not to transfer its Ownership Interest herein unless it provides to the Certificate Registrar a certificate substantially in the form attached as Exhibit E-2 to the Agreement stating that, among other things, it has no actual knowledge that such other Person is not a Permitted Transferee. Each Person holding or acquiring an Ownership Interest in this Certificate, by purchasing such Ownership Interest herein, agrees to give the Certificate Administrator and the Tax Administrator written notice that it is a “pass-through interest holder” within the meaning of temporary Treasury Regulation Section 1.67-3T(a)(2)(i)(A) immediately upon acquiring such Ownership Interest, if it is, or is holding such Ownership Interest on behalf of, a “pass-through interest holder.”

 

If a Person is acquiring this Certificate as a fiduciary or agent for one or more accounts, such Person shall be required to deliver to the Certificate Registrar a certification to the effect that, and such other evidence as may be reasonably required by the Certificate Registrar to confirm that, it has (i) sole investment discretion with respect to each such account and (ii) full power to make the acknowledgments, representations, warranties, certifications and/or agreements with respect to each such account described above in this Certificate.

 

The provisions of Section 5.02(d) of the Agreement may be modified, added to or eliminated, provided that there shall have been delivered to the Certificate Administrator and the Tax Administrator the following: (a) a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such modification of, addition to or elimination of such provisions; and (b) an Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the Certificate Administrator and the Tax Administrator, to the effect that such modification of, addition to or elimination of such provisions will not cause any REMIC Pool to cease to qualify as a REMIC or be subject to an entity-level tax caused by the Transfer of a Class R Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, or cause a Person other than the prospective Transferee to be subject to a REMIC-related tax caused by the Transfer of a Class R Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee.

 

A “Permitted Transferee” is any Transferee other than a “Disqualified Organization”, a “Disqualified Non-United States Tax Person” or a “Disqualified Partnership” (each as defined in the Agreement) and other than a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base (each within the meaning of any applicable income tax treaty) of a United States Tax Person or any other Person as to whom the transfer of this Certificate may cause any REMIC Pool to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificate is outstanding.

 

A-2-6
 

 

As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate Register upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the offices of the Certificate Registrar, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in the form satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

 

No service charge will be imposed for any transfer or exchange of this Certificate, but the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of this Certificate.

 

The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Trust Advisor, the Tax Administrator, the Custodian, the Certificate Registrar and any agent of any such party may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and none of such parties or such agents shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

 

Subject to certain terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement, the Trust and the obligations created by the Agreement shall terminate upon payment (or provision for payment) to the Certificateholders of all amounts held by the Certificate Administrator on behalf of the Trustee and required to be paid to them pursuant to the Agreement following the earlier of (i) the final payment or other liquidation (or any advance with respect thereto) of the last Mortgage Loan or REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund; (ii) the purchase by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or any single Subordinate Class Certificateholder or group of Subordinate Class Certificateholders, at a price determined as provided in the Agreement, of all the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property (or, in the case of any REO Property related to any Serviced Loan Combination, the beneficial interest of the Trust Fund in such REO Property) remaining in the Trust Fund; and (iii) the exchange by the Sole Certificateholder(s) of all the Certificates for all Mortgage Loans and each REO Property (or, in the case of any REO Property related to any Serviced Loan Combination, the beneficial interest of the Trust Fund in such REO Property) remaining in the Trust Fund with the written consent of the Master Servicer in its sole discretion. The Agreement permits, but does not require, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or any single Subordinate Class Certificateholder or group of Subordinate Class Certificateholders to purchase from the Trust Fund all the Mortgage Loans and each REO Property (or, in the case of any REO Property related to any Serviced Loan Combination, the beneficial interest of the Trust Fund in such REO Property) remaining therein. The exercise of such right will effect early retirement of the Certificates; however, such right to purchase is subject to the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Pool at the time of purchase being 1.0% or less of the Cut-off Date Pool Balance.

 

The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the parties thereto and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time by the parties to the Agreement with the consent of (i) the Holders of Certificates entitled to not less than 66-2/3% of the Voting Rights

 

A-2-7
 

 

allocated to each Class of Certificates that is materially affected by the amendment and without the consent of any Companion Loan Holders and (ii) any Serviced Pari Passu Companion Loan Holders materially affected by the amendment. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in certain limited circumstances, including any amendment necessary to maintain the status of any REMIC Pool as a REMIC, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Certificates.

 

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Certificate Registrar, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

 

The registered Holder hereof, by its acceptance hereof, agrees that it will look solely to the Trust Fund (to the extent of its rights therein) for distributions hereunder.

 

This Certificate shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements negotiated, made and to be performed entirely in said State, and the obligations, rights and remedies of the Holder hereof shall be determined in accordance with such laws.

Schedule A
(To Issuer Letter of Representations)
 
SAMPLE OFFERING DOCUMENT LANGUAGE
DESCRIBING BOOK-ENTRY-ONLY ISSUANCE
(Prepared by DTC--bracketed material may be applicable only to certain issues)
 
1.           The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), New York, NY, will act as securities depository for the securities (the “Securities”). The Securities will be issued as fully-registered securities registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC’s partnership nominee) or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. One fully-registered Security certificate will be issued for [each issue of] the Securities, [each] in the aggregate principal amount of such issue, and will be deposited with DTC. [If, however, the aggregate principal amount of [any] issue exceeds $500 million, one certificate will be issued with respect to each $500 million of principal amount, and an additional certificate will be issued with respect to any remaining principal amount of such issue.]
 
2.           DTC, the world’s largest securities depository, 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 the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds and provides asset servicing for over 3.5 million issues of U.S. and non-U.S. equity issues, corporate and municipal debt issues, and money market instruments (from over 100 countries) that DTC’s participants (“Direct Participants”) deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the post-trade settlement among Direct Participants of sales and other securities transactions in deposited securities, through electronic computerized book-entry transfers and pledges between Direct Participants’ accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct Participants include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (“DTCC”). DTCC is the holding company for DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies. DTCC is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly (“Indirect Participants”). DTC has a Standard & Poor’s rating of AA+. The DTC Rules applicable to its Participants are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. More information about DTC can be found at www.dtcc.com.
 
3.           Purchases of Securities under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants, which will receive a credit for the Securities on DTC’s records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each Security (“Beneficial Owner”) is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants’ records. Beneficial Owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase. Beneficial Owners are, however, expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant through which the Beneficial Owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the Securities are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct and Indirect Participants acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. Beneficial Owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in Securities, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the Securities is discontinued.
 
4.           To facilitate subsequent transfers, all Securities deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC’s partnership nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of Securities with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other DTC nominee do not effect any change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual Beneficial Owners of the Securities; DTC’s records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such Securities are credited, which may or may not be the Beneficial Owners. The Direct and Indirect Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.
 
ILOR 06-2013
 
 
 

 
 
Schedule A
(To Issuer Letter of Representations)
 
5.           Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. [Beneficial Owners of Securities may wish to take certain steps to augment the transmission to them of notices of significant events with respect to the Securities, such as redemptions, tenders, defaults, and proposed amendments to the Security documents. For example, Beneficial Owners of Securities may wish to ascertain that the nominee holding the Securities for their benefit has agreed to obtain and transmit notices to Beneficial Owners. In the alternative, Beneficial Owners may wish to provide their names and addresses to the registrar and request that copies of notices be provided directly to them.]
 
[6.          Redemption notices shall be sent to DTC. If less than all of the Securities within an issue are being redeemed, DTC’s practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such issue to be redeemed.]
 
7.           Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. (nor any other DTC nominee) will consent or vote with respect to Securities unless authorized by a Direct Participant in accordance with DTC’s MMI Procedures. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an Omnibus Proxy to Issuer as soon as possible after the record date. The Omnibus Proxy assigns Cede & Co.’s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts Securities are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy).
 
8.           Redemption proceeds, distributions, and dividend payments on the Securities will be made to Cede & Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC’s practice is to credit Direct Participants’ accounts upon DTC’s receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from Issuer or Agent, on payable date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC’s records. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in “street name,” and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC, Agent, or Issuer, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of redemption proceeds, distributions, and dividend payments to Cede & Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is the responsibility of Issuer or Agent, disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners will be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants.
 
[9.           A Beneficial Owner shall give notice to elect to have its Securities purchased or tendered, through its Participant, to [Tender/Remarketing] Agent, and shall effect delivery of such Securities by causing the Direct Participant to transfer the Participant’s interest in the Securities, on DTC’s records, to [Tender/Remarketing] Agent. The requirement for physical delivery of Securities in connection with an optional tender or a mandatory purchase will be deemed satisfied when the ownership rights in the Securities are transferred by Direct Participants on DTC’s records and followed by a book-entry credit of tendered Securities to [Tender/Remarketing] Agent’s DTC account.]
 
10.           DTC may discontinue providing its services as depository with respect to the Securities at any time by giving reasonable notice to Issuer or Agent. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor depository is not obtained, Security certificates are required to be printed and delivered.
 
11.           Issuer may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry-only transfers through DTC (or a successor securities depository). In that event, Security certificates will be printed and delivered to DTC.
 
12.           The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC’s book-entry system has been obtained from sources that Issuer believes to be reliable, but Issuer takes no responsibility for the accuracy thereof.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

This letter is delivered to you in connection with the Transfer by _________________________ (the “Transferor”) to ________________ (the “Transferee”) of the Transferred Certificates. The Certificates, including the Transferred Certificates, were issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of November 1, 2015 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc., as Depositor (the “Depositor”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Special Servicer, Trimont Real Estate Advisors, LLC, as Trust Advisor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, as Tax Administrator and as Custodian, and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee (the “Trustee”). All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

This letter is delivered to you in connection with the transfer by __________ (the “Transferor”) to _________ (the “Transferee”) of the Transferred Certificates. The Certificates, including the Transferred Certificates, were issued pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of November 1, 2015 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc., as Depositor (the “Depositor”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Special Servicer, Trimont Real Estate Advisors, LLC, as Trust Advisor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, as Tax Administrator and as Custodian, and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee (the “Trustee”).

The Transferor hereby certifies, represents and warrants to you, and for the benefit of the Trustee and the Depositor, that:

 

1.          The Transferor is the lawful owner of the Transferred Certificates with the full right to transfer such Certificates free from any and all claims and encumbrances whatsoever.

 

2.          Neither the Transferor nor anyone acting on its behalf has (a) offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred any Transferred Certificate, any interest in any Transferred Certificate or any other similar security to any person in any manner, (b) solicited any offer to buy or accept a pledge or other transfer of any Transferred Certificate, any interest in any Transferred Certificate or any other similar security from any person in any manner, (c) otherwise approached or negotiated with respect to any Transferred Certificate, any interest in any Transferred Certificate or any other similar security with any person in any manner, (d) made any general solicitation with respect to

 

C-2A-1
 

 

any Transferred Certificate, any interest in a Transferred Certificate or any other similar security by means of general advertising or in any other manner or (e) taken any other action with respect to any Transferred Certificate, any interest in a Transferred Certificate or any other similar security, which (in the case of any of the acts described in clauses (a) through (e) hereof) would constitute a distribution of any Transferred Certificate under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), would render the offer, sale, pledge or other transfer of any Transferred Certificate a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act or any applicable state or foreign securities laws, or would require registration or qualification of any Transferred Certificate pursuant to the Securities Act or any applicable state or foreign securities laws. The Transferor will not act, nor has it authorized or will it authorize any person to act, in any manner set forth in the foregoing sentence with respect to any Transferred Certificate, any interest in any Transferred Certificate or any other similar security.

 

3.          The Transferor and any person acting on behalf of the Transferor in this matter reasonably believe that the Transferee is a “qualified institutional buyer” (a “Qualified Institutional Buyer”) as that term is defined in Rule 144A (“Rule 144A”) under the Securities Act, purchasing for its own account or for the account of another person that is itself a Qualified Institutional Buyer. In determining whether the Transferee is a Qualified Institutional Buyer, the Transferor and any person acting on behalf of the Transferor in this matter have relied upon the following method(s) of establishing the Transferee’s ownership and discretionary investments of securities (check one or more):

 

____       (a)         The Transferee’s most recent publicly available financial statements, which statements present the information as of a date within 16 months preceding the date of sale of the Transferred Certificates in the case of a U.S. purchaser and within 18 months preceding such date of sale for a foreign purchaser; or

 

____       (b)         The most recent publicly available information appearing in documents filed by the Transferee with the Securities and Exchange Commission or another United States federal, state, or local governmental agency or self-regulatory organization, or with a foreign governmental agency or self-regulatory organization, which information is as of a date within 16 months preceding the date of sale of the Transferred Certificates in the case of a U.S. purchaser and within 18 months preceding such date of sale for a foreign purchaser; or

 

____       (c)         The most recent publicly available information appearing in a recognized securities manual, which information is as of a date within 16 months preceding the date of sale of the Transferred Certificates in the case of a U.S. purchaser and within 18 months preceding such date of sale for a foreign purchaser; or

 

____       (d)         A certification by the chief financial officer, a person fulfilling an equivalent function, or other executive officer of the Transferee,

 

 

C-2A-2
 

  

specifying the amount of securities owned and invested on a discretionary basis by the Transferee as of a specific date on or since the close of the Transferee’s most recent fiscal year, or, in the case of a Transferee that is a member of a “family of investment companies”, as that term is defined in Rule 144A(a)(1)(iv), a certification by an executive officer of the investment adviser specifying the amount of securities owned by the “family of investment companies” as of a specific date on or since the close of the Transferee’s most recent fiscal year.

 

4.             The Transferor and any person acting on behalf of the Transferor understand that in determining the aggregate amount of securities owned and invested on a discretionary basis by an entity for purposes of establishing whether such entity is a Qualified Institutional Buyer:

 

(a)          the following instruments and interests shall be excluded: securities of issuers that are affiliated with such entity; securities that are part of an unsold allotment to or subscription by such entity, if such entity is a dealer; securities of issuers that are part of such entity’s “family of investment companies”, if such entity is a registered investment company; bank deposit notes and certificates of deposit; loan participations; repurchase agreements; securities owned but subject to a repurchase agreement; and currency, interest rate and commodity swaps;

 

(b)         the aggregate value of the securities shall be the cost of such securities, except where the entity reports its securities holdings in its financial statements on the basis of their market value, and no current information with respect to the cost of those securities has been published, in which case the securities may be valued at market;

 

(c)         securities owned by subsidiaries of the entity that are consolidated with the entity in its financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles may be included if the investments of such subsidiaries are managed under the direction of the entity, except that, unless the entity is a reporting company under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, securities owned by such subsidiaries may not be included if the entity itself is a majority-owned subsidiary that would be included in the consolidated financial statements of another enterprise.

 

5.            The Transferor or a person acting on its behalf has taken reasonable steps to ensure that the Transferee is aware that the Transferor is relying on the exemption from the provisions of Section 5 of the Securities Act provided by Rule 144A.

 

6.            The Transferor or a person acting on its behalf has furnished, or caused to be furnished, to the Transferee all information regarding (a) the parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, (b) the Transferred Certificates and distributions thereon, (c) the nature, performance and servicing of the Mortgage Loans, (d) the Trust and Trust Fund,

(e) the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreements and (f) all related matters, that the Transferee has requested.

7.          The Transferee will notify each of the parties to which this certification is made of any changes in the information and conclusions herein.

The terms “United States”, “State” and “international organization” shall have the meanings set forth in Section 7701 of the Code or successor provisions.

Re: Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Trust 2015-C31, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2015-C31, Class R Certificates, evidencing a ____% Percentage Interest in such Class (the “Residual Interest Certificates”)

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

This letter is delivered to you in connection with the transfer by _________________ (the “Transferor”) to _________________ (the “Transferee”) of the Transferred Certificates pursuant to Section 5.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), dated as of November 1, 2015 among Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Special Servicer, Trimont Real Estate Advisors, LLC, as Trust Advisor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, as Tax Administrator and as Custodian, and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee. All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Transferor hereby certifies, represents and warrants to you as Certificate Registrar, as follows:

 

1.         No purpose of the Transferor relating to the transfer of the Residual Interest Certificates by the Transferor to the Transferee is or will be to impede the assessment or collection of any tax.

 

2.         The Transferor understands that the Transferee has delivered to you a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement in the form attached to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as Exhibit E-1. The Transferor does not know or believe that any representation contained therein is false.

 

3.         The Transferor has at the time of this transfer conducted a reasonable investigation of the financial condition of the Transferee (or the beneficial owners of the Transferee if the Transferee is classified as a partnership under the Code) as contemplated by Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i) and, as a result of that investigation, the Transferor has determined that the Transferee has historically paid its debts as they became due

 

E-2-1
 

  

and has found no significant evidence to indicate that the Transferee will not continue to pay its debts as they become due in the future. The Transferor understands that the transfer of the Residual Interest Certificates may not be respected for United States income tax purposes (and the Transferor may continue to be liable for United States income taxes associated therewith) unless the Transferor has conducted such an investigation.

Re: Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Trust 2015-C31, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2015-C31 (the “Certificates”)

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

This letter is delivered to you in connection with the transfer by _________________ (the “Transferor”) to _________________ (the “Transferee”) of the Excess Servicing Fee Right with respect to the _________________ Mortgage Loan[s] established under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of November 1, 2015 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among Wells Fargo Commercial Mortgage Securities, Inc., as Depositor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Master Servicer, Midland Loan Services, a Division of PNC Bank, National Association, as Special Servicer, Trimont Real Estate Advisors, LLC, as Trust Advisor, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator, as Tax Administrator and as Custodian, and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee. All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Transferee hereby certifies, represents and warrants to you, as the Depositor and the applicable Master Servicer, that:

 

1.         The Transferee is acquiring the right to receive Excess Servicing Fees (the “Excess Servicing Fee Right”) for its own account for investment and not with a view to or for sale or transfer in connection with any distribution thereof, in whole or in part, in any manner which would violate the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any applicable state securities laws.

 

2.         The Transferee understands that (a) the Excess Servicing Fee Right has not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or registered or qualified under any applicable state securities laws, (b) none of the Depositor, the Trustee, Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar is obligated so to register or qualify the Excess Servicing Fee Right,

 

F-3B-1
 

  

and (c) the Excess Servicing Fee Right may not be resold or transferred unless it is (i) registered pursuant to the Securities Act and registered or qualified pursuant to any applicable state securities laws or (ii) sold or transferred in transactions which are exempt from such registration and qualification and (A) the Depositor has received a certificate from the prospective transferor substantially in the form attached as Exhibit F-3A to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and (B) each of the Master Servicer and the Depositor have received a certificate from the prospective transferee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit F-3B to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

 

3.         The Transferee understands that it may not sell or otherwise transfer the Excess Servicing Fee Right or any interest therein except in compliance with the provisions of Section 3.11 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, which provisions it has carefully reviewed.

 

4.         Neither the Transferee nor anyone acting on its behalf has (a) offered, pledged, sold, disposed of or otherwise transferred the Excess Servicing Fee Right, any interest in the Excess Servicing Fee Right or any other similar security to any person in any manner, (b) solicited any offer to buy or accept a pledge, disposition or other transfer of the Excess Servicing Fee Right, any interest in the Excess Servicing Fee Right or any other similar security from any person in any manner, (c) otherwise approached or negotiated with respect to the Excess Servicing Fee Right, any interest in the Excess Servicing Fee Right or any other similar security with any person in any manner, (d) made any general solicitation with respect to the Excess Servicing Fee Right, any interest in the Excess Servicing Fee Right or any other similar security by means of general advertising or in any other manner, or (e) taken any other action with respect to the Excess Servicing Fee Right, any interest in the Excess Servicing Fee Right or any other similar security, which (in the case of any of the acts described in clauses (a) through (e) above) would constitute a distribution of the Excess Servicing Fee Right under the Securities Act, would render the disposition of the Excess Servicing Fee Right a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act or any state securities law or would require registration or qualification of the Excess Servicing Fee Right pursuant thereto. The Transferee will not act, nor has it authorized or will it authorize any person to act, in any manner set forth in the foregoing sentence with respect to the Excess Servicing Fee Right, any interest in the Excess Servicing Fee Right or any other similar security.

 

5.         The Transferee has been furnished with all information regarding (a) the Depositor, (b) the Excess Servicing Fee Right and any payments thereon, (c) the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Trust Fund created pursuant thereto, (d) the nature, performance and servicing of the Mortgage Loans, and (e) all related matters that it has requested.

 

6.         The Transferee is (a) a “qualified institutional buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act or (b) an “accredited investor” as defined in any of paragraphs (1), (2), (3) and (7) of Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act or an entity in which all of the equity owners come within such paragraphs. The Transferee has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Excess Servicing Fee Right; the Transferee has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision; and

 

F-3B-2
 

  

the Transferee is able to bear the economic risks of such investment and can afford a complete loss of such investment.

 

7.        The Transferee agrees (i) to keep all information relating to the Trust, the Trust Fund and the parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and made available to it, confidential, (ii) not to use or disclose such information in any manner which could result in a violation of any provision of the Securities Act or would require registration of the Excess Servicing Fee Right or any Certificate pursuant to the Securities Act, and (iii) not to disclose such information, and to cause its officers, directors, partners, employees, agents or representatives not to disclose such information, in any manner whatsoever, in whole or in part, to any other Person other than such holder’s auditors, legal counsel and regulators, except to the extent such disclosure is required by law, court order or other legal requirement or to the extent such information is of public knowledge at the time of disclosure by such holder or has become generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by such holder; provided, however, that such holder may provide all or any part of such information to any other Person who is contemplating an acquisition of the Excess Servicing Fee Right if, and only if, such Person (x) confirms in writing such prospective acquisition and (y) agrees in writing to keep such information confidential, not to use or disclose such information in any manner which could result in a violation of any provision of the Securities Act or would require registration of the Excess Servicing Fee Right or any Certificates pursuant to the Securities Act and not to disclose such information, and to cause its officers, directors, partners, employees, agents or representatives not to disclose such information, in any manner whatsoever, in whole or in part, to any other Person other than such Persons’ auditors, legal counsel and regulators.

 

8.         The Transferee acknowledges that the holder of the Excess Servicing Fee Right shall not have any rights under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement except as set forth in Section 3.11(a) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and that the Excess Servicing Fee Rate may be reduced to the extent provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

(1) 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.

 
  (2) Debt Service Coverage Ratios are updated periodically as new NOI figures become available from borrowers on an asset level. In all cases, the most recent 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.   
  (3) 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.

2.           Certify that each of the following is true, subject to those exceptions set forth with explanatory notes on Schedule A hereto, which exceptions the Master Servicer has determined, consistent with the Servicing Standard, will have no material adverse effect on the Mortgage Loan or the defeasance transaction:

d. The Master Servicer received an opinion of counsel (from counsel approved by the Master Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard) that the defeasance will not result in an Adverse REMIC Event.

e. The Master Servicer determined that the defeasance collateral will be owned by an entity (the “Defeasance Obligor”) as to which one of the statements checked below is true:

 

____ the related Borrower was a Single-Purpose Entity (as defined in [Standard & Poor’s Structured Finance Ratings Real Estate Finance Criteria], as amended to the date of the defeasance (the “S&P Criteria”)) as of the date of the defeasance, and after the defeasance owns no assets other than the defeasance collateral and real property securing Mortgage Loans included in the pool;

 

____ the related Borrower designated a Single-Purpose Entity (as defined in the S&P Criteria) to own the defeasance collateral; or

 

____ the Master Servicer designated a Single-Purpose Entity (as defined in the S&P Criteria) established for the benefit of the Trust to own the defeasance collateral.

 

f. The Master Servicer received a broker or similar confirmation of the credit, or the accountant’s letter described below contained statements that it reviewed a broker or similar confirmation of the credit, of the defeasance collateral to an Eligible Account (as defined in the S&P Criteria) in the name of the Defeasance Obligor, which account is maintained as a securities account by the securities intermediary and has been pledged to the Trustee.

 

g. The Agreement executed in connection with the defeasance shall grant control of the pledged Securities Account to the Trustee and require the Securities Intermediary to make the scheduled payments on the Mortgage Loan from the proceeds of the defeasance collateral directly to the Master Servicer’s collection account in the amounts and on the dates specified in the Mortgage Loan Documents or, in a partial defeasance, the portion of such scheduled payments attributed to the allocated loan amount for the real property defeased, increased by any defeasance premium specified in the Mortgage Loan Documents (the “Scheduled Payments”).

 

h. The Master Servicer received from the Borrower written confirmation from a firm of independent certified public accountants, who were approved by the Master Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard, stating that (i) revenues from principal and interest payments made on the defeasance collateral (without taking into account any earnings on reinvestment of such revenues) will be sufficient to timely pay

each of the Scheduled Payments after the defeasance including the payment in full of the Mortgage Loan (or the allocated portion thereof in connection with a partial defeasance) on its Stated Maturity Date, (ii) the revenues received in any month from the defeasance collateral will be applied to make Scheduled Payments within four (4) months after the date of receipt, and (iii) interest income from the defeasance collateral to the Defeasance Obligor in any calendar or fiscal year will not exceed such Defeasance Obligor’s interest expense for the Mortgage Loan (or the allocated portion thereof in a partial defeasance) for such year.

  

i. The Master Servicer received opinions from counsel, who were approved by the Master Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard, that (i) the agreements executed by the Borrower and/or the Defeasance Obligor in connection with the defeasance are enforceable against them in accordance with their terms except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditor’s rights generally, and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), and (ii) the Trustee will have a perfected, first priority security interest in the defeasance collateral described above.

 

j. The agreements executed in connection with the defeasance (i) permit reinvestment of proceeds of the defeasance collateral only in Permitted Investments (as defined in the S&P Criteria), (ii) permit release of surplus defeasance collateral and earnings on reinvestment to the Defeasance Obligor or the Borrower only after the Mortgage Loan has been paid in full, if any such release is permitted, (iii) prohibit any subordinate liens against the defeasance collateral, and (iv) provide for payment from sources other than the defeasance collateral or other assets of the Defeasance Obligor of all fees and expenses of the securities intermediary for administering the defeasance and the securities account and all fees and expenses of maintaining the existence of the Defeasance Obligor.

 

k. The Mortgage Loan is not among the ten (10) largest loans in the Mortgage Pool. The entire Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loan as of the date of defeasance was $___________ [$35,000,000 or less or less than two percent of the Mortgage Pool balance, whichever is less], which is less than 2% of the aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Certificates as of the date of the most recent Distribution Date Statement received by us (the “Current Report”).

l. The defeasance described herein, together with all prior and simultaneous defeasances of Mortgage Loans, brings the total of all fully and partially defeased Mortgage Loans to $__________________, which is _____% of the aggregate Certificate Balance of the Certificates as of the date of the Current Report.

INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT

 

Terms not defined in this Introductory Statement shall have the meanings specified in Article 1 hereof.

 

Reference is made to that certain 10-year fixed-rate mortgage loan (the “Whole Loan”), evidenced by six promissory notes (the “Notes”).

 

The Whole Loan was co-originated by Column Financial, Inc. (“Column”) and Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A. (“MSBNA”, and collectively with Column and their respective successors and assigns, the “Originators”), pursuant to that certain Loan Agreement, dated as of November 4, 2015 (as amended by that certain First Amendment to Loan Agreement and Other Loan Documents, dated as of November 19, 2015, that certain Note Splitter Agreement and Second Amendment to Loan Agreement and Other Loan Documents, dated as of November 20, 2015, and that certain Third Amendment to Loan Agreement and Other Loan Documents, dated as of December 3, 2015, the “Loan Agreement”), by and among the Originators and 33 Delaware limited liability companies (collectively, the “Loan Borrowers”). As of the Cut-off Date, the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Whole Loan was $966,500,000.

 

The Whole Loan consists of (a) a portion that has an unpaid principal balance as of the Cut-off Date of $766,500,000, and is evidenced by Promissory Note A-1 (as the same may hereafter be amended, restated, replaced, extended, renewed, supplemented, consolidated, severed, split or otherwise modified, “Note A-1”), Promissory Note A-2 (as the same may hereafter be amended, restated, replaced, extended, renewed, supplemented, consolidated, severed, split or otherwise modified, “Note A-2”), Promissory Note B-1 (as the same may hereafter be amended, restated, replaced, extended, renewed, supplemented, consolidated, severed, split or otherwise modified, “Note B-1)” and Promissory Note B-2 (as the same may hereafter be amended, restated, replaced, extended, renewed, supplemented, consolidated, severed, split or otherwise modified “Note B-2”, and together with Note A-1, Note A-2 and Note B-1, the “Trust Loan Notes”), and (b) a portion that has an aggregate unpaid principal balance as of the Cut-off Date of $200,000,000, and is evidenced by Promissory Note A-3 and Promissory A-4 (as the same may each hereafter be amended, restated, replaced, extended, renewed, supplemented, consolidated, severed, split or otherwise modified, collectively, the “Companion Loan Notes”). Note A-1, Note A-2, Note A-3 and Note A-4 are collectively referred to herein as the “A-Notes” and, each, as an “A-Note”. Note B-1 and Note B-2 are collectively referred to herein as the “B-Notes” and, each, as a “B-Note”. The Trust Loan Notes and the Companion Loan Notes are collectively referred to herein as the “Notes” and, each, as a “Note”.

 

As of the Closing Date, the aggregate outstanding principal balance of Note A-1, Note A-2, Note B-1 and Note B-2 is $766,500,000 (the “Trust Loan”).

 

 
 

 

On or prior to the Closing Date, Morgan Stanley Mortgage Capital Holdings LLC (“MSMCH”) purchased the portion of the Trust Loan it is selling to the Depositor (which consists of Note A-2 and Note B-2) from MSBNA.

 

On or prior to the Closing Date, Column and MSMCH (collectively, with their respective successors and assigns, the “Loan Sellers”) sold the Trust Loan to the Depositor pursuant to a Mortgage Loan Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and among the Loan Sellers and the Depositor (the “Loan Purchase Agreement”).

 

As of the Closing Date, Promissory Note A-3 was held by Column and Promissory Note A-4 was held by MSMCH (collectively, the “Companion Loan”). The relative rights of the respective lenders in respect of the Whole Loan are set forth in a co-lender agreement dated as of November 4, 2015 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Co-Lender Agreement”), between the holders of the Trust Loan Notes and the holders of the Companion Loan Notes. From and after the Closing Date, the entire Whole Loan is to be serviced and administered in accordance with this Agreement.

 

As provided for herein, the Certificate Administrator shall elect or shall cause elections to be made to treat designated portions of the Trust Fund for federal income tax purposes as two separate real estate mortgage investment conduits (the “Upper-Tier REMIC” and the “Lower-Tier REMIC” and, each, a “REMIC”). Each Class of Regular Certificates will represent a single Class of “regular interests” in the Upper-Tier REMIC, as further described herein. Each Class of Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests will represent a single class of “regular interests” in the Lower-Tier REMIC as further described herein. The Class R Certificates will evidence the sole Class of “residual interests” in each of the Upper-Tier REMIC and Lower-Tier REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions under federal income tax law.

 

In exchange for the Trust Loan and the Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interests, the Trust shall issue to the Depositor all the Class A, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class R Certificates (collectively, the “Certificates”), which Certificates in the aggregate shall evidence the entire beneficial interest in the Trust Fund. The Trust Fund consists principally of the Trust Loan Notes, the Mortgages and related Loan Documents (exclusive of the rights of the Companion Loan Holders thereunder) and all payments under, and proceeds of, the Trust Loan following the Cut-off Date.

 

The Depositor intends to sell the Certificates to the Initial Purchasers in an offering exempt from the registration requirements of the federal securities laws.

 

UPPER-TIER REMIC

 

As further described in Section 2.10, the Class A, Class X-A, Class X-B, Class B, Class C and Class D Certificates will evidence “regular interests” in the Upper-Tier REMIC created hereunder. The Class UT-R Interest will constitute the sole Class of “residual interests” in the Upper-Tier REMIC created hereunder, and will be evidenced by the Class R Certificates. The following table sets forth the class designation, the Pass-Through Rate and the aggregate initial Certificate Balance (the “Initial Certificate Balance”) or Notional Amount (“Initial

After the adjusted interest amount is so allocated, any remaining Net Liquidation Proceeds received with respect to the Trust Loan or such Note, as applicable, will be allocated to pay principal on the Trust Loan or such Note, as applicable, until the unpaid principal amount thereof has been reduced to zero. Any remaining Net Liquidation Proceeds received with respect to the Trust Loan or such Note, as applicable, would then be allocated to pay Appraisal Reduced Interest.

 

(d)          All net present value calculations and determinations made under this Agreement with respect to the Whole Loan, the Trust Loan, the Companion Loans or the Properties or any Foreclosed Property (including for purposes of the definition of “Accepted Servicing Practices”) shall be made using a discount rate appropriate for the type of cash flows being discounted; namely (i) for principal and interest payments on the Whole Loan, the Trust Loan or such Companion Loan or sale of the Whole Loan, the Trust Loan or such Companion Loan if it is a defaulted loan, the highest of (1) the rate determined by the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, that approximates the market rate that would be obtainable by the Loan Borrowers on similar debt of the Loan Borrowers as of such date of determination, (2) the Weighted Average Note Rate on the Whole Loan, Trust Loan or such Companion Loan, as the case may be based on their respective outstanding principal balances and (3) the yield on the most recently issued 10-year U.S. treasuries and (ii) for all other cash flows, including property

Furthermore, it is not intended that such conveyance be a pledge of security for the Trust Loan.

The Custodian shall be under no duty or obligation to inspect, review, or examine any such documents, instruments or certificates to independently determine that they are valid, genuine, enforceable, legally sufficient, duly authorized, or appropriate for the represented purpose, whether the text of any assignment or endorsement is in proper or recordable form (except to determine if the endorsement conforms to the requirements of Section 2.1(b)), whether any document has been recorded in accordance with the requirements of any applicable jurisdiction, to independently determine that any document has actually been filed or recorded in the appropriate office, that any document is other than what it purports to be on its face, or whether the title insurance policies relate to the Properties.

 

(c)          Upon the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Custodian shall (i) deliver to the Depositor, the Trustee, the Loan Sellers, the Loan Borrowers, the Servicer and

Subject to the above-described servicing standards (hereinafter referred to as “Accepted Servicing Practices”) and the terms of this Agreement and of the Loan Documents, the Servicer and the Special Servicer each shall have full power and authority, acting alone and/or through one or more sub-servicers as provided in Section 3.2, to do or cause to be done any and all things in connection with such servicing and administration which it may deem necessary or desirable. The Servicer and the Special Servicer shall service and administer the Trust Loan and the Companion Loan in accordance with applicable state and federal law. At the written request of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, accompanied by the form of power of attorney or other documents being requested, the Trustee shall furnish to the Servicer or the Special Servicer any powers of attorney (substantially in the form of Exhibit N hereto) and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable such Servicer or the Special Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder, and the Trustee shall not be held responsible (and shall be indemnified by the Servicer or the Special Servicer) for any negligence or misuse by the Servicer or the Special Servicer in its uses of any such powers of attorney or other document.

or proceeding solely under the Trustee’s name without indicating the representative capacity of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, or (ii) take any action with the intent to, and which actually does cause, the Trustee to be registered to do business in any state.

 

The liability of each of the Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, for actions and omissions in its capacity as Servicer and the Special Servicer, respectively, hereunder is limited as provided herein (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 6.3). Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as an express or implied guarantee by the Servicer or the Special Servicer of the collectibility of the Trust Loan and the Companion Loans. The Servicer hereby covenants and agrees that it will not act as special servicer with respect to a Mezzanine Loan or any interest in a Mezzanine Loan. The Special Servicer hereby covenants and agrees that it will not act as the servicer or special servicer with respect to a Mezzanine Loan or any interest in a Mezzanine Loan.

 

Section 3.2.          Sub-Servicing Agreements. (a)  The Special Servicer shall not engage any sub-servicer or enter into any sub-servicing agreement. The Servicer, at its own expense without a right of reimbursement under this Agreement or otherwise, may enter into sub-servicing agreements with sub-servicers for the servicing and administration of the Trust Loan and the Companion Loans, provided that (i) any such sub-servicing agreement shall be upon such terms and conditions as are not inconsistent with this Agreement and as the Servicer and the sub-servicer have agreed, and (ii) no sub-servicer retained by the Servicer shall grant any modification, waiver, or amendment to the Loan Documents without the approval of the Servicer. References in this Agreement to actions taken or to be taken, and limitations on actions permitted to be taken, by the Servicer in servicing the Whole Loan include actions taken or to be taken by a sub-servicer on behalf of the Servicer. Each sub-servicer shall be (i) authorized to transact business and licensed in the applicable state(s), if, and to the extent, required by applicable law to enable the sub-servicer to perform its obligations under the applicable sub-servicing agreement, and (ii) qualified to perform its obligations under the applicable sub-servicing agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have received any amount when the sub-servicer receives such amount, irrespective of whether such amount is remitted to the Servicer for deposit in the Collection Account, any Cash Management Account, any Reserve Account or the Distribution Account, and actions taken by the sub-servicer shall be deemed to be actions of the Servicer. The Servicer shall notify the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Loan Borrowers and the Depositor in writing promptly upon the appointment of any sub-servicer and promptly furnish the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, upon its request, with a copy of the sub-servicing agreement. No sub-servicer shall be permitted to enter into any sub-servicing agreement with other sub-servicers without the prior written consent of the Servicer.

 

(b)          Notwithstanding any sub-servicing agreement, the Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Trustee and the Certificateholders for the servicing and administering of the Trust Loan and the Companion Loans in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.1 without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such sub-servicing agreement, or by virtue of indemnification from a sub-servicer, and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Whole Loan.

 

-73-
 

 

(c)          Any sub-servicing agreement entered into by the Servicer shall provide that it may be assumed or terminated by (i) the Trustee if the Trustee has assumed the duties of the Servicer or if the Servicer is otherwise terminated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) a successor Servicer if such successor Servicer has assumed the duties of the Servicer, without cost or obligation to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the successor Servicer, the Trust or the Trust Fund.

 

(d)          Any sub-servicing agreement, and any other transactions or services relating to the Whole Loan involving a sub-servicer, shall be deemed to be between the Servicer and such sub-servicer alone, and the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Depositor, the Trust and the Certificateholders shall not be deemed parties thereto and shall have no claims, rights, obligations, duties or liabilities with respect to the sub-servicer, and no provision herein shall be construed so as to require the Trust, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator or the Depositor to indemnify any such sub-servicer. The Servicer is permitted, at its own expense, or to the extent that a particular expense is provided herein to be an Advance or an expense of the Trust, at the expense of the Trust, to utilize other agents or attorneys typically used by servicers of mortgage loans underlying commercial mortgage backed securities in performing its obligations under this Agreement.

 

(e)          Notwithstanding anything herein, each of the initial Servicer and the initial Special Servicer may delegate certain of its duties and obligations hereunder to an Affiliate of the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable. Such delegation shall not be considered a sub-servicing agreement hereunder, and the requirements and obligations set forth herein applicable to sub-servicing agreements, sub-servicers or Servicing Function Participants shall not be applicable to such arrangement. Notwithstanding any such delegation, the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall remain obligated and liable for the performance of their respective obligations and duties under this Agreement in accordance with the provisions hereof to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if each alone were servicing and administering the Whole Loan as required hereby.

 

(f)          The parties hereto acknowledge that the Whole Loan is subject to the terms and conditions of the Co-Lender Agreement and recognize the respective rights and obligations of the Trust, as holder of the Trust Loan, and of the Companion Loan Holders under the Co-Lender Agreement, including: (i) with respect to the allocation of collections on or in respect of the Whole Loan, and the making of remittances, to the Trust, as holder of the Trust Loan, and to the Companion Loan Holders; (ii) with respect to the allocation of expenses and losses relating to the Whole Loan to the Trust, as holder of the Trust Loan, and to the Companion Loan Holders and (iii) to the extent provided for under the Co-Lender Agreement, the consultation rights of the Companion Loan Holders.

In the event of any conflict between this

 

-74-
 

 

Agreement and the Co-Lender Agreement, the terms of the Co-Lender Agreement shall control with respect to the Whole Loan.

 

(g)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, at no time shall the Servicer or the Trustee be required to make any advance of delinquent scheduled monthly payments of principal or interest with respect to any Companion Loan.

 

(h)          To the extent required under the Loan Documents or the Co-Lender Agreement, the Servicer shall, on behalf of the Loan Lender, maintain a note register for the Whole Loan in accordance with the Loan Documents or the Co-Lender Agreement. The Loan Sellers are the initial and sole holders of the Companion Loans as of the Closing Date, and notices regarding such ownership shall be addressed to the Loan Sellers at the address set forth in Section 10.4.

the Trust. Updates of appraisals shall be obtained by the Special Servicer and paid for by the Servicer as a Property Protection Advance or an Administrative Advance (or paid for by the Trust if the Servicer determines that such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance) every twelve (12) months for so long as an Appraisal Reduction Event exists, and the Appraisal Reduction Amount shall be adjusted accordingly, and, if required in accordance with any such adjustment, each Class of Certificates that has been notionally reduced as a result of Appraisal Reduction Amounts shall have its related Certificate Balance notionally restored (or reduced if applicable) to the extent required by such adjustment of the Appraisal Reduction Amount, and there shall be a redetermination of whether a Control Termination Event or a Consultation Termination Event is then in effect.

The Requesting Holders shall cause the Appraisal to be prepared on an “as is” basis by an Appraiser in accordance with MAI standards, and the Appraisal shall be reasonably acceptable to the Special Servicer in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices. The Requesting Holders shall provide the Special Servicer with notice of their intent to challenge the Special Servicer’s Appraisal Reduction Amount determination within 10 days of the Requesting Holders’ receipt of written notice of the determination of such Appraisal Reduction Amount.

 

An Appraised Out Class shall be entitled to continue to exercise the rights of the Controlling Class until 10 days following its receipt of written notice of the Appraisal Reduction Amount, unless the Requesting Holders provide written notice of their intent to challenge such Appraisal Reduction Amount to the Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator within such 10 day period pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph. If the Requesting Holders provide such notice, then the Appraised Out Class shall be entitled to continue to exercise the rights of the Controlling Class until the earliest of (i) 120 days following the related Appraisal Reduction Event, unless the Requesting Holders provide the second appraisal within such 120 day period, (ii) the determination by the Special Servicer (described below) that a recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount is not warranted or that such recalculation does not result in the Appraised Out Class remaining the Controlling Class and (iii) the termination of a Controlling Class Consultation Period.

 

In addition to the foregoing, the Holders of Certificates representing the majority of the Certificate Balance of any Appraised Out Class shall have the right, at their sole expense, to require the Special Servicer to order an additional Appraisal of any Property if an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred if an event has occurred at or with regard to the related Property or Properties that would have a material effect on its Appraised Value, and the Special Servicer

 

-82-
 

 

shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that such Appraisal is delivered within 30 days from receipt of such Holders’ written request and shall ensure that such Appraisal is prepared on an “as is” basis by an Appraiser in accordance with MAI standards; provided that the Special Servicer shall not be required to obtain such Appraisal if the Special Servicer determines in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices that no events at or with regard to the related Property or Properties have occurred that would have a material effect on such Appraised Value of the related Property or Properties.

 

Upon receipt of an Appraisal provided by, or requested by, Holders of an Appraised Out Class pursuant to this Section and any other information reasonably requested by the Special Servicer from the Servicer reasonably required to calculate or recalculate the Appraisal Reduction Amount, the Special Servicer shall determine, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, whether, based on its assessment of such additional Appraisal, any recalculation of the Appraisal Reduction Amount is warranted and, if so warranted, shall recalculate such Appraisal Reduction Amount based upon such additional Appraisal. If required by any such recalculation, the Appraised Out Class shall be reinstated as the Controlling Class. The Special Servicer shall promptly deliver notice to the Certificate Administrator of any such determination and recalculation, and the Certificate Administrator shall promptly post such notice to the Certificate Administrator’s Website.

 

Appraisals that are permitted to be presented by, or obtained by the Special Servicer at the request of, Holders of an Appraised Out Class shall be in addition to any Appraisals that the Special Servicer may otherwise be required to obtain in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices or this Agreement without regard to any appraisal requests made by any Holder of an Appraised Out Class.

 

(b)          While an Appraisal Reduction Amount exists, (i) the amount of any Monthly Payment Advances shall be reduced as provided in Section 3.23(a), and (ii) the existence thereof will be taken into account for purposes of determining (a) the Voting Rights of certain Classes of Certificates as provided in Section 3.7(c) or (b) if a Control Termination Event is continuing.

 

(c)          The Certificate Balance of each class of the Sequential Pay Certificates shall be notionally reduced (solely for purposes of determining (x) the Voting Rights of the related Classes and the Controlling Class and (y) whether a Control Termination Event is continuing on any Distribution Date) on any Distribution Date, to the extent of the Appraisal Reduction Amount allocated to such Class on such Distribution Date. The Whole Loan shall be treated as a single loan for purposes of calculating the Appraisal Reduction Amount. Appraisal Reduction Amounts with respect to the Whole Loan shall be allocated, first, to Note B-1 and Note B-2 on a pro rata and pari passu basis (based on their relative outstanding principal balances), up to its respective outstanding principal balance, and then to Note A-1, Note A-2 and the Companion Loans on a pro rata and pari passu basis (based on their relative outstanding principal balances). The Appraisal Reduction Amount allocated to the Trust Loan Notes for any Distribution Date shall be applied to notionally reduce the Certificate Balances of the Sequential Pay Certificates in the following order of priority: first, to the Class D Certificates; second, to the Class C Certificates; and third, to the Class B Certificates; (provided in each case that no Certificate Balance in respect of any such Class may be notionally reduced below zero).

 

-83-
 

 

Appraisal Reduction Amounts shall not be applied to notionally reduce the Certificate Balance of any Class A Certificate.

 

(d)          In the event that a portion(s) of one or more Monthly Payment Advances with respect to the Trust Loan was reduced as a result of an Appraisal Reduction Event, the amount of the Net Liquidation Proceeds to be applied to interest shall be reduced by the aggregate amount of such reductions and the portion of such Net Liquidation Proceeds to be applied to principal shall be increased by such amount, and if the amounts of the Net Liquidation Proceeds to be applied to principal have been applied to pay the principal of the Trust Loan in full, any remaining Net Liquidation Proceeds shall then be applied to pay any remaining accrued and unpaid interest on the Trust Loan in accordance with Section 1.3.

 

(e)          If (i) an Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred, (ii) with respect to the Properties, either (A) no Appraisals or updates of the Appraisals have been obtained or conducted with respect to the Properties or Foreclosed Properties, as the case may be, during the 12-month period prior to the date of such Appraisal Reduction Event or (B) a material change in the circumstances surrounding the Properties or Foreclosed Properties, as the case may be, has occurred since the date of the most recent Appraisal that would materially adversely affect the value of the Properties or Foreclosed Properties, as the case may be, and (iii) no new Appraisal has been obtained or conducted for the Properties or Foreclosed Properties, as the case may be, within 60 days after the Appraisal Reduction Event has occurred, then (x) until the new Appraisal is obtained for the Properties, the appraised value of the Properties for purposes of determining the Appraisal Reduction Amount shall be equal to 75% of the appraised value set forth in the most recent Appraisal for the Properties or Foreclosed Properties, as the case may be (the “Assumed Appraised Value”), and (y) upon receipt or performance of the new Appraisal by the Special Servicer, the appraised value of the Properties or Foreclosed Properties, as the case may be, shall be based on such new Appraisal and the Appraisal Reduction Amount will be recalculated in accordance with the definition of Appraisal Reduction Amount.

 

Section 3.8.          Investment of Funds in the Collection Account and Any Foreclosed Property Account.    (a)  The Servicer (and, with respect to the Foreclosed Property Account, the Special Servicer) may direct any depository institution maintaining the Collection Accounts or the Foreclosed Property Account, respectively (each, for purposes of this Section 3.8, an “Investment Account”), to invest the funds in such Investment Account in one or more Permitted Investments that bear interest or are sold at a discount, and that mature, unless payable on demand, no later than the Business Day preceding the date on which such funds are required to be withdrawn from such Investment Account pursuant to this Agreement. Any direction by the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to invest funds on deposit in an Investment Account shall be in writing and shall certify that the requested investment is a Permitted Investment which matures at or prior to the time required hereby or is payable on demand. All such Permitted Investments shall be held to maturity, unless payable on demand. Any investment of funds in an Investment Account shall be made in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders (in its capacity as such) or in the name of a nominee of the Trustee. The Trustee shall have sole control (except with respect to investment direction, which shall be in the control of the Servicer (or the Special Servicer, with respect to the Foreclosed Property Account) as an independent contractor to the Trust Fund) over each such investment and any certificate or other instrument evidencing any such investment shall be delivered directly

 

-84-
 

 

to the Trustee or its agent (which shall initially be the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable), together with any document of transfer, if any, necessary to transfer title to such investment to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders or its nominee. The Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall have no responsibility or liability with respect to the investment directions of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, or any losses resulting therefrom, whether from Permitted Investments or otherwise. In the event amounts on deposit in an Investment Account are at any time invested in a Permitted Investment payable on demand, the Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall:

 

(i)            consistent with any notice required to be given thereunder, demand that payment thereon be made on the last day such Permitted Investment may otherwise mature hereunder in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) all amounts then payable thereunder and (2) the amount required to be withdrawn on such date; and

 

(ii)           demand payment of all amounts due thereunder promptly upon determination by the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, that such Permitted Investment would not constitute a Permitted Investment in respect of funds thereafter on deposit in the related Investment Account.

 

(b)           All net income and gain realized from investment of funds deposited in the Collection Account shall be for the benefit of the Servicer in accordance with the terms and priorities of this Agreement. All net income and gain realized from investment of funds deposited in the Foreclosed Property Account shall be for the benefit of the Special Servicer. Any net losses on funds in the Collection Account or the Foreclosed Property Account shall be reimbursed by the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, from its own funds promptly, but in any event on or prior to the Remittance Date following the realization of such loss.

 

(c)           Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any default occurs in the making of a payment due under any Permitted Investment, or if a default occurs in any other performance required under any Permitted Investment, the Servicer shall take such action as may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution and prosecution of appropriate proceedings. In the event the Servicer takes any such action, the Trust Fund shall pay or reimburse the Servicer, pursuant to Section 3.4(c), for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Servicer in connection therewith.

 

(d)           For the avoidance of doubt, the Collection Account, the Foreclosed Property Account, the Interest Reserve Account and the Lower-Tier Distribution Account (including interest, if any, earned on the investment of funds in such accounts) will be owned by the Lower-Tier REMIC, and the Upper-Tier Distribution Account (including interest, if any, earned on the investment of funds in such account) will be owned by the Upper-Tier REMIC, each for federal income tax purposes.

 

(e)          Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Servicer, nor the Special Servicer shall cover any losses from the bankruptcy or insolvency of a depository institution holding an account described in this Section 3.8, so long as (i) such depositary institution or trust company satisfied the qualifications set forth in the definition of Eligible Institution at the time

 

-85-
 

 

such deposit was made and such institution was not an Affiliate of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable and (ii) such loss was incurred within 30 days after the earlier of (a) the date of such bankruptcy or insolvency or (b) the date on which the depositary institution or trust company failed to satisfy the qualifications set forth in the definition of Eligible Institution.

 

Section 3.9.          Payment of Taxes, Assessments, etc.  The Servicer (other than with respect to any Foreclosed Property) and the Special Servicer (with respect to any Foreclosed Property) shall maintain accurate records with respect to the Properties (or any Foreclosed Property, as the case may be) reflecting the status of taxes, assessments, charges and other similar items that are or may become a lien on the Properties (or any Foreclosed Property, as the case may be) and the status of insurance premiums payable in respect of insurance policies required to be maintained pursuant to Section 3.11 hereof. The Servicer shall obtain, from time to time, all bills for the payment of such items (including renewal premiums). The Servicer shall pay (or cause to be paid) real estate taxes, insurance premiums and other similar items from funds in the applicable Reserve Account in accordance with the Loan Agreement at such time as may be required by the Loan Documents. If any of the Loan Borrowers do not make the necessary payments and/or a Loan Event of Default has occurred and amounts in the applicable Reserve Account are insufficient to make such payments, the Servicer shall make a Property Protection Advance, subject to the determination of non-recoverability provided in Section 3.23, from its own funds for amounts payable with respect to all such items related to a Property when and as the same shall become due and payable. The Servicer shall ensure that the amount of funds in the applicable Reserve Account is increased when and if applicable taxes, assessments, charges and other similar items, ground rents or insurance premiums are increased, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement.

 

Section 3.10.          Appointment of Special Servicer.       (a)  AEGON USA Realty Advisors, LLC is hereby appointed as the initial Special Servicer to service the Whole Loan while a Special Servicing Loan Event has occurred and is continuing and perform the other obligations of the Special Servicer hereunder.

 

(b)          If there is a Special Servicer Termination Event with respect to any Special Servicer, such Special Servicer may be removed and replaced pursuant to Section 7.1. The Trustee shall, promptly after receiving notice of any such removal, so notify the Servicer, the Companion Loan Holders and, subject to Section 10.17, the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post it to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website, pursuant to Section 10.16). The appointment of any such successor Special Servicer shall not relieve the Servicer or the Trustee of their respective obligations to make Advances as set forth herein; provided, however, the initial Special Servicer specified above shall not be liable for any actions or any inaction of such successor Special Servicer. No termination fee shall be payable to the terminated Special Servicer. No termination of the Special Servicer and appointment of a successor Special Servicer shall be effective until the successor Special Servicer has assumed all of its responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder in writing, a Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such appointment has been delivered to the Trustee and Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such appointment has been delivered to the Trustee. Any successor Special Servicer shall be deemed to make the representations and warranties provided for in Section 2.5(a) mutatis mutandis as of the date of its succession. The terminated Special Servicer shall retain all rights accruing to it under this Agreement, including the right to receive

 

-86-
 

 

fees accrued prior to its termination and other amounts payable to it (including indemnification payments).

 

(c)          Upon determining that a Special Servicing Loan Event has occurred and is continuing, the Servicer shall immediately give notice thereof to the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, and the Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to provide the Special Servicer with all information, documents (but excluding the original documents constituting the Mortgage File) and records (including records stored electronically on computer tapes, magnetic discs and the like) relating to the Whole Loan and reasonably requested by the Special Servicer to enable it to assume its duties hereunder with respect thereto. The Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to comply with the preceding sentence within five Business Days of the date that a Special Servicing Loan Event has occurred. The Servicer in any event shall continue to act as Servicer and administrator of the Whole Loan until the Special Servicer has commenced the servicing of the Whole Loan, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Special Servicing Loan Event, which shall occur, in the case of a Special Servicing Loan Event, upon the receipt by the Special Servicer of the information, documents and records referred to in the preceding sentence. The Special Servicer shall instruct the Loan Borrowers to continue to remit all payments in respect of the Whole Loan to the Servicer. The Servicer shall forward any notices it would otherwise send to the Loan Borrowers under the Whole Loan to the Special Servicer who shall send such notice to the Loan Borrowers while a Special Servicing Loan Event has occurred and is continuing.

 

(d)          Upon determining that a Special Servicing Loan Event is no longer continuing, the Special Servicer shall immediately give notice thereof to the Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Companion Loan Holders, and upon giving such notice such Special Servicing Loan Event shall cease, the Special Servicer’s obligation to service the Whole Loan shall terminate and the obligations of the Servicer to service and administer the Whole Loan shall resume and the Special Servicer shall return all of the information and materials furnished to the Special Servicer pursuant to Section 3.10(c) to the Servicer.

 

(e)          In making a Major Decision or in servicing the Whole Loan during the continuance of a Special Servicing Loan Event, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall provide to the Certificate Administrator originals of documents entered into in connection therewith that are required to be included within the definition of “Mortgage File” for inclusion in the Mortgage File (to the extent such documents are in the possession of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable) and copies of any additional related Whole Loan information, including correspondence with the Loan Borrowers, and the Special Servicer shall promptly provide copies of all of the foregoing to the Servicer as well as copies of any related analysis or internal review prepared by or for the benefit of the Special Servicer.

 

(f)          During any period in which a Special Servicing Loan Event is continuing, no later than the Business Day preceding each date on which the Servicer is required to furnish a report under Section 3.18(a) to the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer shall deliver to the Servicer a written statement describing (i) the amount of all payments on account of interest received on each Note, the amount of all payments on account of principal received on each Note, the amount of Insurance Proceeds and Net Liquidation Proceeds received, the amount of any Foreclosure Proceeds received with respect to the Properties, and the amount of net income

 

-87-
 

 

or net loss, as determined from management of a trade or business on, the furnishing or rendering of a non-customary service to the tenants of, or the receipt of any rental income that does not constitute rents from real property with respect to, any Foreclosed Property, in each case in accordance with Section 3.15 and (ii) such additional information relating to the Whole Loan as the Servicer or the Certificate Administrator reasonably requests to enable it to perform its duties under this Agreement.

 

(g)          Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding subsection (c), the Servicer shall maintain ongoing payment records with respect to the Whole Loan and shall provide the Special Servicer with any information reasonably required by the Special Servicer to perform its duties under this Agreement.

 

(h)          The Special Servicer, at the earlier of (x) within 60 days after the occurrence of a Special Servicing Loan Event and (y) prior to taking action with respect to any Major Decision (or making a determination not to take action with respect to a Major Decision) if a Special Servicing Loan Event occurs, shall prepare a report (the “Asset Status Report”) for the Whole Loan. Each Asset Status Report will be delivered in electronic format to the Controlling Class Representative (during a Controlling Class Control Period and Controlling Class Consultation Period), the Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Servicer, the Companion Loan Holders (as and to the extent required under Section 5(d) of the Co-Lender Agreement) and, subject to Section 10.17, the Rating Agencies; provided, however, that (1) the Special Servicer shall not be required to deliver an Asset Status Report to the Controlling Class Representative if they are the same entity or affiliates of each other and (2) the Special Servicer shall not deliver any Asset Status Report to the Controlling Class Representative or a Controlling Class Certificateholder that is a Borrower Related Party. Such Asset Status Report shall be consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices and set forth the following information to the extent reasonably determinable:

 

(i)            summary of the status of the Whole Loan and any negotiations with the Loan Borrowers;

 

(ii)           a discussion of the legal and environmental considerations reasonably known at such time to the Special Servicer, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, that are applicable to the exercise of remedies as aforesaid and to the enforcement of any related guaranties or other collateral for the Whole Loan and whether outside legal counsel has been retained;

 

(iii)          the most current rent roll and income or operating statement available for the Properties;

 

(iv)          the Special Servicer’s recommendations on how the Whole Loan might be returned to performing status or otherwise realized upon;

 

(v)           the appraised value of the Properties together with the appraisal or the assumptions used in the calculation thereof;

 

(vi)          the status of any foreclosure actions or other proceedings undertaken with respect thereto, any proposed workouts with respect thereto and the status of any

 

-88-
 

 

negotiations with respect to such workouts, and an assessment of the likelihood of additional Loan Events of Default;

 

(vii)         a description of any proposed actions;

 

(viii)        a description of any proposed amendment, modification or waiver of a material term of a ground lease;

 

(ix)           the alternative courses of action considered by the Special Servicer in connection with the proposed actions;

 

(x)            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; and an analysis of whether or not taking such 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 (including the applicable discount rate used) and all related assumptions. In connection with the foregoing analysis, if any Loan Borrower has indicated its refusal to pay any Work-out Fees, Special Servicing Fees or Liquidation Fees due to the Special Servicer, the Special Servicer must consider the costs to the Trust and analyze as an alternative a sale of the Whole Loan or of the related Foreclosed Property or other exercise of remedies;

 

(xi)          a summary of the status of any action that was described in the most recent prior Asset Status Report and subsequently effected by the Special Servicer; and

 

(xii)         such other information as the Special Servicer deems relevant in light of the proposed action and Accepted Servicing Practices.

 

During a Controlling Class Control Period, if within 10 Business Days of receiving an Asset Status Report, the Controlling Class Representative does not disapprove such Asset Status Report in writing, then the Controlling Class Representative shall be deemed to have approved such Asset Status Report and the Special Servicer shall implement the recommended action as outlined in such Asset Status Report; provided, however, that the Special Servicer may not take any action that is contrary to applicable law, Accepted Servicing Practices, the Co-Lender Agreement or the terms of the applicable Loan Documents. In addition, during a Controlling Class Control Period, the Controlling Class Representative may object to any asset status report within 10 business days of receipt; provided, however, that if the Special Servicer determines that emergency action is necessary to protect the related Property or the interests of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders, or if a failure to take any such action at such time would be inconsistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, the Special Servicer may take actions with respect to the related Property before the expiration of the 10 Business Day period if the Special Servicer reasonably determines in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices that failure to take such actions before the expiration of the 10 Business Day period would materially and adversely affect the interest of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders, and (during a Controlling Class Control Period) the Special Servicer has made a reasonable effort to contact the Controlling Class Representative. If, during a Controlling Class

 

-89-
 

 

Control Period, the Controlling Class Representative disapproves such Asset Status Report within 10 Business Days of receipt and the Special Servicer has not made an affirmative determination pursuant to the proviso in the preceding sentence, the Special Servicer will revise such Asset Status Report and deliver to the Controlling Class Representative (during a Controlling Class Control Period and Controlling Class Consultation Period), the Certificate Administrator, the related Companion Loan Holders and, subject to Section 10.17 of this Agreement, each Rating Agency a new Asset Status Report as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 30 days after such disapproval. During a Controlling Class Control Period, the Special Servicer shall revise such Asset Status Report as described above until the Controlling Class Representative shall fail to disapprove such revised Asset Status Report in writing within 10 Business Days of receiving such revised Asset Status Report or until the Special Servicer makes a determination, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, that such objection is not in the best interests of all the Certificateholders and, if applicable, the related Companion Loan Holders (as a collective whole as if such Certificateholders constitute a single lender).

 

The Special Servicer may, from time to time, modify any Asset Status Report it has previously delivered and implement such report, provided such report shall have been prepared, reviewed and not rejected pursuant to the terms of this Section 3.10(h). In any event, during a Controlling Class Control Period, if the Controlling Class Representative does not approve an Asset Status Report within 60 Business Days from the first submission thereof, the Special Servicer shall take such action as directed by the Controlling Class Representative, provided such action does not violate Accepted Servicing Practices.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Consultation Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative shall have no right to receive any Asset Status Report or otherwise consult with the Special Servicer with respect to any matter set forth therein. After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Control Termination Event, the Controlling Class Representative shall have no right to consent to any Asset Status Report under this Section 3.10(h). Any summary Asset Status Report that is related to the Whole Loan and is Excluded Information shall be delivered to the Certificate Administrator pursuant to Section 8.14(c).

 

(i)            During the continuance of a Special Servicing Loan Event, the Special Servicer shall have the authority to meet with the Loan Borrowers and take any actions consistent with Section 3.24, Accepted Servicing Practices and the most recent Asset Status Report.

 

(j)            In addition, during the continuance of a Special Servicing Loan Event, on the last day of each Collection Period the Special Servicer shall prepare and deliver to the Servicer the CREFC® Special Servicer Loan File with respect to the Whole Loan.

 

(k)           Beginning in 2016, the Special Servicer shall prepare and file on a timely basis the reports of foreclosure and abandonment of the Properties required by Section 6050J of the Code and the reports of discharges of indebtedness income in respect of the Trust Loan and each Companion Loan required by Section 6050P of the Code.

 

-90-
 

 

(l)            Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Servicer shall not follow any advice, direction or consultation provided by the Controlling Class Representative that would require or cause the Special Servicer to violate any applicable law or provisions of the Code resulting in an Adverse REMIC Event, be inconsistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, require or cause the Special Servicer to violate provisions of this Agreement or the Co-Lender Agreement, require or cause the Special Servicer to violate the terms of the Whole Loan, expose any Certificateholder or any party to this Agreement or their Affiliates, officers, directors or agents to any claim, suit or liability, result in the imposition of a tax upon the Trust (other than a tax on “net income from foreclosure property”) or loss of REMIC status or materially expand the scope of the responsibilities of the Special Servicer or Servicer, as applicable, under this Agreement.

 

Section 3.11.          Maintenance of Insurance and Errors and Omissions and Fidelity Coverage.    (a)  The Servicer, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices and the Loan Documents, shall use efforts consistent with the Accepted Servicing Practices to cause to be maintained by the Loan Borrowers (or if the Loan Borrowers fail to maintain such insurance in accordance with the Loan Agreement, the Servicer shall cause to be maintained to the extent the Trustee, as mortgagee of record, has an insurable interest) insurance with respect to the Properties of the types and in the amounts required to be maintained (to the extent such insurance is available at commercially reasonable rates, provided, that the commercially reasonably requirement shall not apply with respect to terrorism insurance which will be governed by the Loan Documents) by the Loan Borrowers under the Loan Documents. The cost of any such insurance maintained by the Servicer shall be advanced by the Servicer, as a Property Protection Advance unless it would be a Nonrecoverable Advance in which case it shall be paid by the Trust, and as applicable, by the Companion Loan Holders pursuant to the Co-Lender Agreement. Neither the Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be required to maintain, and shall not cause the Loan Borrowers to be in default with respect to the failure of the Loan Borrowers to obtain, all-risk casualty insurance which does not contain any carve-out for terrorist or similar acts, if and only if the Special Servicer has determined, on an annual basis, that such failure is an Acceptable Insurance Default. In making any determination related to an Acceptable Insurance Default, the Special Servicer, to the extent consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, is entitled to rely on the opinion of an insurance consultant. Neither the Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be required to obtain terrorism insurance pursuant to this Agreement to the extent the Loan Borrowers would not be obligated to maintain terrorism insurance under the Loan Documents as in effect on the date thereof.

 

(b)           The Special Servicer, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices and the Loan Documents, shall cause to be maintained such insurance (including environmental insurance) with respect to any Foreclosed Property the Loan Borrowers are required to maintain with respect to the Properties referred to in subsection (a) of this Section 3.11 or, at the Special Servicer’s election, coverage satisfying insurance requirements consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices. The cost of any such insurance with respect to any Foreclosed Property shall be payable out of amounts on deposit in the Foreclosed Property Account or shall be advanced by the Servicer as a Property Protection Advance unless such advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. Any such insurance (other than terrorism insurance, which shall be maintained to the extent required under subsection (a) of this Section 3.11) that is required to be maintained with respect to any Foreclosed Property shall only be so required to the extent such

 

-91-
 

 

insurance is available at commercially reasonable rates. If the Special Servicer requests the Servicer to make a Property Protection Advance in respect of the premiums due in respect of such insurance, the Servicer shall, as soon as practicable after receipt of such request, make such Property Protection Advance unless such Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, and if the Servicer does not make such Advance, the Trustee (within five (5) Business Days of its receipt of notice of the Servicer’s failure to make such Advance) shall make an Advance of the premiums to maintain such insurance, provided that, in each such case, such obligations shall be subject to the provisions of this Agreement concerning Nonrecoverable Advances, the Trustee as mortgagee of record having an insurable interest and the availability of such insurance at commercially reasonable rates.

 

(c)          The Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may satisfy its obligations to cause insurance policies to be maintained by maintaining a master force placed or blanket insurance policy insuring against losses on the Properties or any Foreclosed Property, as the case may be for which coverage is otherwise required to be maintained as set forth in the preceding subsections of this Section 3.11. The incremental cost of such insurance allocable to the Properties or any Foreclosed Property, if not borne by the Loan Borrowers, shall be paid by the Servicer as a Property Protection Advance unless it would be a Nonrecoverable Advance. If such master force placed or blanket insurance policy contains a deductible clause, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be obligated to deposit in the Collection Account out of its own funds all sums that would have been deposited therein but for such clause to the extent any such deductible exceeds the deductible limitation that pertained to the Whole Loan, or in the absence of any such deductible limitation, the deductible limitation that is consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices.

 

(d)          Each of the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall obtain and maintain at its own expense, and keep in full force and effect throughout the term of this Agreement, a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy, the issuer of which is rated no lower than the applicable Qualified Insurer Ratings, covering its directors, officers and employees, as applicable, in connection with its activities under this Agreement. Each such insurance policy shall protect the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, against losses resulting directly from forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and omissions of such covered persons. Coverage of the Servicer or the Special Servicer under a policy or bond obtained by an Affiliate thereof and providing the coverage required by this Section 3.11(d) shall satisfy the requirements of this Section 3.11(d). The amount of coverage shall be at least equal to the coverage that is required by applicable governmental authorities having regulatory power over the Servicer and the Special Servicer. If no such coverage amounts are imposed by such regulatory authorities, the amount of coverage shall be at least equal to the coverage that would be required by FNMA or FHLMC with respect to the Servicer and the Special Servicer if each were servicing and administering the Whole Loan for FNMA or FHLMC or as otherwise approved by FNMA or FHLMC. In the event that any such bond or policy ceases to be in effect, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall obtain a comparable replacement bond or policy. Each shall use reasonable effort to cause each and every sub-servicer, if any, to maintain a blanket fidelity bond and an errors and omissions insurance policy meeting the requirements as described above. In lieu of the foregoing, but subject to this Section 3.11, the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be entitled to self-insure with respect to such risks so long

 

-92-
 

 

as its (or its immediate or ultimate parent’s) long term unsecured debt rating is rated no lower than “A3” by Moody’s.

 

(e)          No provision of this Section 3.11 requiring such fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve the Servicer or the Special Servicer from its duties and obligations as set forth in this Agreement. The Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to request, upon receipt of a written request from any Certificateholder, and the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each deliver or cause to be delivered to the Certificate Administrator, a certificate of insurance from the surety and insurer certifying that such insurance is in full force and effect. The Certificate Administrator will make any such certificate of insurance available to the requesting Certificateholder on a confidential basis.

 

Section 3.12.          Procedures with Respect to the Whole Loan; Realization upon the Properties.   (a)  Upon the occurrence of a Loan Event of Default, the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trustee, subject to the terms of the Loan Documents and consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, shall promptly pursue the remedies set forth therein, including foreclosure or other realization on the Properties and the other collateral for the Whole Loan. In connection with any foreclosure, enforcement of the applicable Loan Documents or other realization on the Collateral, the Special Servicer shall direct the Servicer to, and the Servicer shall, pay the costs and expenses in any such proceedings as a Property Protection Advance unless the Servicer determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.

 

(b)          Such proposed acceleration of the Whole Loan and/or foreclosure on a Property shall be taken unless the Special Servicer waives such Loan Event of Default (or modifies or amends the Whole Loan to cure the Loan Event of Default), which the Special Servicer may do if such modification, waiver or amendment is consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices and does not cause either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or subject either such REMIC to any tax (other than a tax on “net income from foreclosure property” under Section 860G(c)) of the Code.

 

(c)          In connection with such foreclosure as described in Section 3.12(a) or other realization on the Properties, the Special Servicer shall follow Accepted Servicing Practices; provided, however, that the Special Servicer shall not be permitted to direct the Servicer, and neither the Special Servicer nor the Servicer shall be required, to expend its own funds to restore any Property damaged by an Uninsured Cause unless the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, permitted the related insurance policy to lapse in violation of its respective obligations hereunder. If the Servicer does expend its own funds to restore the Properties damaged by an Uninsured Cause (which insurance policy did not lapse in violation of the Servicer’s obligations), such expense shall be a Property Protection Advance. In connection with any foreclosure, enforcement of the Loan Documents or other realization on the Collateral, the Special Servicer shall direct the Servicer to, and the Servicer shall, pay the costs and expenses in any such proceedings as a Property Protection Advance unless the Servicer determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.

(d)          Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Servicer may not foreclose on the Properties on behalf of the Trust and the Companion Loan Holders and thereby be the beneficial owner of the Properties, or take any other action with respect to such item that would cause the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust and the Companion Loan Holders, to be considered to hold title to, to be a “mortgagee-in-possession” of, or to be an “owner” or “operator” of a Property within the meaning of CERCLA or any comparable law, unless the Special Servicer has previously determined, based on a report prepared at the expense of the Trust Fund by an independent person who regularly conducts site assessments for purchasers of comparable properties (a copy of such report to be provided by the Special Servicer to the Companion Loan Holders, the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s website), that (i) the Properties are in compliance with applicable environmental laws or that taking the remedial actions necessary to comply with such laws is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery on a present value basis than not taking such actions and (ii) there are no circumstances known to the Special Servicer relating to the use of hazardous substances or petroleum-based materials which require investigation or remediation, or that if such circumstances exist taking such remedial actions is reasonably likely to produce a greater recovery on a net present value basis than not taking such actions. The Special Servicer shall deliver a copy of any such report to the Rating Agencies, subject to Section 10.17.

 

If the Special Servicer has so determined based on satisfaction of the criteria in this Section 3.12(d) that it would be in the best economic interest of the Trust and the Companion Loan Holders (as a collective whole as if the Trust Fund and the Companion Loan Holders constituted a single lender) (as determined in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices) to institute a foreclosure or take any other actions described in the immediately preceding paragraph, then subject to the rights of the Controlling Class Representative to consent to and/or consult in respect of such action, as applicable, the Special Servicer shall take such proposed action. The Special Servicer shall not foreclose upon or otherwise cause the Trust to acquire ownership of any Collateral other than the Properties unless it receives an Opinion of Counsel (the cost of which shall be paid by the Servicer as a Property Protection Advance unless the Servicer determines that such Property Protection Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance) to the effect that such acquisition will not cause the imposition of a tax on the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC (other than a tax on “net income from foreclosure property” under Section 860G(c)) of the Code under the REMIC Provisions or cause the Lower-Tier REMIC or Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Certificates are outstanding.

 

The Special Servicer shall direct the Servicer to, and the Servicer shall, advance the cost of any such compliance, containment, clean up or remediation as a Property Protection Advance unless the Servicer determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.

 

(e)          The environmental site assessments contemplated by Section 3.12(d) shall be prepared by any Independent Person who regularly conducts environmental site assessments for purchasers of comparable properties, as determined by the Servicer in a manner consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices. The cost of each such environmental site assessment shall

 

-94-
 

 

qualify as a Property Protection Advance and shall be advanced by the Servicer unless the Servicer determines that such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.

 

(f)            Notwithstanding any acquisition of title to the Properties following a Loan Event of Default under the Whole Loan and cancellation of the Whole Loan, the Trust Loan and the Companion Loans, the Trust Loan and each Companion Loan shall be deemed to remain outstanding and, in the case of the Trust Loan, held in the Trust Fund for purposes of the application of collections and shall be reduced only by collections net of expenses. For purposes of all calculations hereunder, so long as the Trust Loan and any Companion Loan shall be deemed to remain outstanding, (i) it shall be assumed that the unpaid principal balance of the Trust Loan and the Companion Loans immediately after any discharge is equal to the unpaid principal balance of the Trust Loan or the Companion Loans immediately prior to such discharge and (ii) Foreclosure Proceeds shall be applied as provided in Section 1.3(b) and the Co-Lender Agreement.

 

(g)           Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Special Servicer shall not acquire and hold for the benefit of the Trust Fund any personal property (including any non-real property Collateral) pursuant to this Section 3.12 unless:

 

(i)            such personal property is incidental to real property (within the meaning of Section 856(e)(1) of the Code) so acquired by the Special Servicer; or

 

(ii)           the Special Servicer shall have obtained an Opinion of Counsel (the cost of which shall be paid by the Servicer as a Property Protection Advance unless the Servicer determines that such Property Protection Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance in which case it shall be treated as a trust fund expense) to the effect that the holding of such personal property by the Trust will not cause the imposition of a tax on the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC under the REMIC Provisions or cause the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interest or Certificate is outstanding (and such Opinion of Counsel may be premised on the designation hereby of any such personal property as being deemed part of an “outside reserve fund” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(h) with the owner of such personal property for federal income tax purposes to be designated at such time)).

 

Section 3.13.          Certificate Administrator to Cooperate; Release of Items in the Mortgage File.   From time to time and as appropriate for the servicing of the Whole Loan or Foreclosure of or realization on any Property, the Certificate Administrator shall, upon receipt of written request of a Servicing Officer of the Servicer or the Special Servicer and delivery to the Certificate Administrator of a receipt for release in the form of Exhibit B hereto, release or cause to be released any items from the Mortgage File to the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, within the lesser of (i) seven (7) calendar days and (ii) five (5) Business Days of its receipt of the related receipt for release. The Special Servicer shall institute all Foreclosures as an authorized delegate of the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust and the Companion Loan Holders. In the event the Special Servicer cannot institute a Foreclosure in its own name, the Special Servicer shall notify the Trustee and the Trustee shall reasonably cooperate with the Special Servicer in connection with any prosecution of any Foreclosure (including at the written request

 

-95-
 

 

of a Servicing Officer of the Special Servicer, execute such documents furnished to it as shall be necessary to the prosecution of any such Foreclosure). Such receipt for release shall obligate the Servicer or the Special Servicer to (and the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall) return such items to the Certificate Administrator when the need therefor by the Servicer or the Special Servicer no longer exists.

 

Section 3.14.          Title and Management of Foreclosed Properties.     (a)  In the event that title to any Property is acquired for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders in foreclosure or by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, the deed, certificate of sale or other comparable document shall be taken in the name of the Trustee, or its nominee (which shall not include the Special Servicer), on behalf of the Trust and the Companion Loan Holders or as otherwise contemplated pursuant to Section 8.10. Title may be taken in the name of a limited liability company wholly-owned by the Trust and which is managed by the Special Servicer (the costs of which shall be advanced by the Servicer, provided that such Advance would not be a Nonrecoverable Advance). Promptly after such acquisition of title, the Special Servicer shall consult with counsel to determine when an Acquisition Date shall be deemed to occur under the REMIC Provisions with respect to such Property, the expense of such consultation being treated as a reimbursable expense of the Special Servicer related to the foreclosure. The Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust and the Companion Loan Holders, shall dispose of any Foreclosed Property held by the Trust as expeditiously as appropriate in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, but in any event within the time period, and subject to the conditions, set forth in Sections 3.15 and 12.2. Subject to Sections 12.2 and 3.14(e), the Special Servicer shall hire on behalf of the Trust and the Companion Loan Holders a Successor Manager to manage, conserve, protect and operate such Foreclosed Property for the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in a manner that does not cause such Foreclosed Property to fail to qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code (determined without regard to the exception applicable for purposes of Section 860D(a) of the Code) and such that income from the operation or sale of such property does not result in receipt by the Trust of any income from non-permitted assets as described in Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code with respect to such property. In connection with such management, the Successor Manager shall be entitled to the REO Management Fee solely from the Foreclosed Property Account or the Collection Account.

 

(b)          The Special Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received in connection with the operation of any Foreclosed Property separate and apart from its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain with respect to any Foreclosed Property a Foreclosed Property Account in (A) the name of the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.6 or (B) the name of a limited liability company wholly owned by the Trust.

 

(c)           The Special Servicer shall have full power and authority, subject to Accepted Servicing Practices and the specific requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, to do any and all things in connection with any Foreclosed Property for the benefit of the Trust and the Companion Loan Holders (as a collective whole as if the Trust Fund and the Companion Loan Holders constituted a single lender) on such terms as are appropriate and necessary for the efficient operation or liquidation, as applicable, of any Foreclosed Property, so long as the

 

-96-
 

 

Special Servicer deems such actions to be consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Special Servicer may retain an independent contractor to operate and manage any Foreclosed Property; provided, however, the retention of an independent contractor will not relieve the Special Servicer of its obligations hereunder with respect to any Foreclosed Property.

 

The Special Servicer shall deposit or cause to be deposited on a daily basis in the Foreclosed Property Account all revenues received with respect to any Foreclosed Property, and the Special Servicer shall cause to be withdrawn therefrom funds necessary for the proper operation, management and maintenance of any Foreclosed Property and for other expenses related to the preservation and protection of any Foreclosed Property, including, but not limited to:

 

(i)            all insurance premiums due and payable in respect of any Foreclosed Property;

 

(ii)           all taxes, assessments, charges or other similar items in respect of any Foreclosed Property that could result or have resulted in the imposition of a lien thereon; and

 

(iii)          all costs and expenses necessary to preserve any Foreclosed Property, including the payment of ground rent, if any.

 

To the extent that amounts on deposit in the Foreclosed Property Account are insufficient for the purposes set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) above, the Special Servicer shall direct the Servicer to, and the Servicer shall, make a Property Protection Advance unless the Servicer determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that such Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance.

 

(d)           On or before the last day of each Collection Period, the Special Servicer shall withdraw from the Foreclosed Property Account and deposit into the Collection Account the proceeds and collections received or collected since the preceding Remittance Date through the Business Day prior to the Remittance Date on or with respect to any Foreclosed Property (including any funds no longer needed in any reserves established as provided below), net of expenses paid therefrom and amounts reasonably expected to be needed to fund any reserves deemed necessary for the operation, preservation and protection of any Foreclosed Property, including without limitation, the creation of reasonable reserves for working capital, repairs, replacements and necessary capital improvements and other related expenses.

 

(e)           The Special Servicer, in the name of the Trust, shall (subject to Section 3.14(a)) contract with any Successor Manager for the operation and management of any Foreclosed Property; provided that no such contract shall impose individual liability on the Trustee or the Trust; provided, further, that:

 

(i)            the terms and conditions of any such contract shall not be inconsistent herewith;

 

-97-
 

 

(ii)           any such contract shall require, or shall be administered to require, that the Successor Manager (A) request that the Special Servicer pay from the Foreclosed Property Account all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the operation and management of such Foreclosed Property, and (B) remit all related revenues (net of such costs and expenses) to the Special Servicer, as soon as practicable but in no event later than the Business Day immediately following receipt, for deposit into the Foreclosed Property Account;

 

(iii)          none of the provisions of this Section 3.14 relating to any such contract or to actions taken through any such Successor Manager shall be deemed to relieve the Special Servicer of any of its ordinary and regularly recurring duties and obligations to the Trust on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders with respect to the operation and management of such Foreclosed Property; and

 

(iv)          the Successor Manager shall be permitted to perform construction (including renovations) on such Foreclosed Property only if the construction was more than 10% complete at the time default on the Trust Loan became imminent.

 

The Special Servicer shall be entitled, and to the extent required by the REMIC Provisions, shall be required, to enter into an agreement with any Independent Contractor performing services for it related to its duties and obligations hereunder for indemnification of the Special Servicer by such Independent Contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify such indemnification. All REO Management Fees shall be Trust Fund Expenses payable from the Foreclosed Property Account or subject to reimbursement pursuant to Section 3.4(c)(xi). The Special Servicer agrees to monitor the performance of the Successor Manager and to enforce the obligations of the Successor Manager on behalf of the Trust and the Companion Loan Holders. Expenses incurred by the Special Servicer in connection herewith shall qualify as Property Protection Advances.

 

Section 3.15.          Sale of Foreclosed Properties.   (a)  The Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust and the Companion Loan Holders, shall sell any Foreclosed Property on a servicing released basis as expeditiously as appropriate in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices in a manner designed to preserve the capital of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders and not with a view to the maximization of profit, but in no event later than the Rated Final Distribution Date in a manner provided under this Section 3.15 and subject to Section 12.2.

 

(b)          Subject to the consent or consultation rights of the Controlling Class Representative set forth in Section 6.5, the Special Servicer shall accept the highest cash bid for any Foreclosed Property received from any person that is at least equal to the Repurchase Price attributable to the Foreclosed Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the absence of any such bid, the Special Servicer shall accept the highest cash bid, if the highest offeror is a Person other than the Trustee, that the Special Servicer (or the Trustee as provided in the next sentence) determines is a fair price based on Appraisals obtained within the last nine (9) months. If the highest bidder is an Interested Person, the Trustee shall determine the fairness of the highest bid based upon an Appraisal (which may be an Appraisal obtained in the last nine (9) months by the Special Servicer) obtained at the expense of the Trust Fund, and the Trustee may conclusively rely on the opinion of such Appraisal and such determination shall be binding upon all parties.

 

-98-
 

 

The requirements of this Agreement may result in lower sales proceeds than would otherwise be the case. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to the rights of the Controlling Class Representative, the Special Servicer shall not be obligated to accept the higher cash offer if the Special Servicer determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders (as a collective whole, as if such Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders constituted a single lender taking into account the subordinate nature of the B-Notes), and the Special Servicer may accept a lower cash offer (from any person other than an Interested Person) if it determines, in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, that acceptance of such offer would be in the best interests of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders (as a collective whole, as if such Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders constituted a single lender taking into account the subordinate nature of the B-Notes). Any Holder of a Controlling Class Certificate, the Controlling Class Representative or any affiliate of the foregoing shall be entitled to participate in, and submit a bid in connection with, any sale of Foreclosed Property, to the same extent as any other Certificateholder; provided that any such Holder of a Controlling Class Certificate and the Controlling Class Representative shall for all purposes be considered an Interested Person.

 

(c)          Subject to the provisions of Section 3.14, the Special Servicer shall act on behalf of the Trust and the Companion Loan Holders in negotiating and taking any other action necessary or appropriate in connection with the sale of any Foreclosed Property, including the collection of all amounts payable in connection therewith. Any sale of a Foreclosed Property shall be without recourse to the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trust, the Certificateholders or the Companion Loan Holders (except that any contract of sale and assignment and conveyance documents may contain customary warranties, so long as the only recourse for breach thereof is to the Trust Fund) and if consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, none of the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Depositor or the Special Servicer shall have any liability to any Certificateholder with respect to the purchase price thereof accepted by the Special Servicer or the Trustee.

 

(d)          The proceeds of any sale effected pursuant to this Section 3.15, after deduction of the expenses incurred in connection therewith, shall be deposited in the Collection Account in accordance with Section 3.4(a).

 

(e)          Within 30 days of the sale of a Foreclosed Property, the Special Servicer shall provide to the Trustee, the Companion Loan Holders and the Certificate Administrator a statement of accounting for any Foreclosed Property, including, without limitation, (i) the date the Foreclosed Property was acquired in foreclosure or by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, (ii) the date of disposition of such Foreclosed Property, (iii) the gross sale price and related selling and other expenses, (iv) accrued interest with respect to the Repurchase Price of the Foreclosed Property, calculated from the date of acquisition to the disposition date, and (v) such other information as the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator may reasonably request.

 

-99-
 

 

(f)            The Special Servicer shall be required to deliver to the Servicer such reports and other information as the Servicer needs in its sole discretion to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

 

Section 3.16.          Sale of the Whole Loan and the Trust Loan.     (a)  (i)  Within sixty (60) days after the occurrence of a Special Servicing Loan Event, the Special Servicer shall order (but shall not be required to have received) Appraisals. The Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to promptly notify in writing the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, and the Companion Loan Holders, the Controlling Class Representative (during a Controlling Class Control Period and Controlling Class Consultation Period) and the Trustee of the occurrence of such Special Servicing Loan Event, and the Special Servicer shall, within the time period specified in the Intercreditor Agreement, notify the Mezzanine Lenders of the occurrence of such Special Servicing Loan Event. Upon delivery by the Servicer of the notice described in the preceding sentence, subject to the rights of any Mezzanine Lender to purchase the Mortgage Loan pursuant to the purchase option set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement, the Special Servicer may offer to sell to any Person, the Whole Loan or may offer to purchase the Whole Loan, if and when the Special Servicer determines, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, that no satisfactory arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments thereon and such a sale would be in the best economic interests of the Trust and the Companion Loan Holders (as a collective whole, as if such Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders constituted a single lender) on a net present value basis. The Special Servicer shall provide the Servicer, the Companion Loan Holders, the Certificate Administrator, the Controlling Class Representative (during a Controlling Class Control Period and Controlling Class Consultation Period) and the Trustee not less than five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to sell the Whole Loan, in which case the Special Servicer shall be required to accept the highest offer received from any Person (other than any Interested Person) for the Whole Loan in an amount at least equal to the Repurchase Price or, at its option, if it has received no offer at least equal to the Repurchase Price therefor, the Special Servicer may purchase the Whole Loan at the Repurchase Price. Any Companion Loan is to be sold together with the Trust Loan, subject to this Section 3.16 and any additional requirements set forth in the Co-Lender Agreement.

 

(ii)          In the absence of any offer at least equal to the Repurchase Price (or purchase by the Special Servicer for the Repurchase Price), the Special Servicer shall accept the highest offer received that is determined by the Special Servicer (or the Trustee as provided in the next sentence) to be a fair price for the Whole Loan, if the highest offeror is a Person other than the Trustee. If the highest bidder is an Interested Person, the Trustee shall determine the fairness of the highest bid based upon an Appraisal (which may be an Appraisal obtained in the last nine (9) months by the Special Servicer) obtained at the expense of the Trust Fund, and the Trustee may conclusively rely on the opinion of such Appraisal and such determination shall be binding upon all parties. All reasonable costs and fees of the Trustee in making such determination will be reimbursable to it first, by the Servicer as an Advance, subject to the Servicer’s determination that such amounts are not Nonrecoverable Advances, and then as an expense of the Trust. The Trustee, in its individual capacity, may not make an offer for or purchase the Whole Loan. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 3.16 to the contrary, if the Trustee is required to determine whether a cash offer by an Interested Person constitutes a fair price, the Trustee may (at its option and at the expense of the

 

-100-
 

 

Interested Person) designate an independent third party expert in real estate or commercial mortgage loan matters with at least 5 years’ experience in valuing or investing in loans similar to the Whole Loan that has been selected with reasonable care by the Trustee to determine if such cash offer constitutes a fair price for the 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 costs of all appraisals, inspection reports and broker opinions of value incurred by any such third party pursuant to this paragraph will be covered by, and will be paid in advance by the Interested Person as a condition to the Trustee’s determination; provided that the Trustee will not engage a third party expert whose fees exceed a commercially reasonable amount as determined by the Trustee. Any Holder of a Controlling Class Certificate, the Controlling Class Representative or any Affiliate of the foregoing will be entitled to participate in, and submit a bid in connection with, any sale of the Whole Loan to the same extent as any other Certificateholder; provided that any such Holder of a Controlling Class Certificate and the Controlling Class Representative shall for all purposes be considered an Interested Person.

 

(iii)          The Special Servicer shall not be obligated to accept the highest offer if the Special Servicer determines, in accordance with Applicable Servicing Practices, that the rejection of such offer would be in the best interests of the Holders of the Certificates and the Companion Loan Holders (as a collective whole, as if such Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders constituted a single lender taking into account the subordinate nature of the B-Notes). In addition, the Special Servicer may accept a lower offer if it determines, in accordance with Applicable Servicing Practices, that the acceptance of such offer would be in the best interests of the Holders of the Certificates and the Companion Loan Holders (as a collective whole, as if such Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders constituted a single lender taking into account the subordinate nature of the B-Notes), provided that the offeror is not the Special Servicer or a Person that is an Affiliate of any of them. During a Controlling Class Control Period and Controlling Class Consultation Period, the foregoing rights of the Special Servicer shall be subject to the rights of the Controlling Class Representative. The Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to sell the Whole Loan prior to the Rated Final Distribution Date.

 

(iv)          Unless and until the Whole Loan is sold pursuant to this Section 3.16(a), the Special Servicer shall pursue such other resolution strategies with respect to the Whole Loan, including, without limitation, workout and foreclosure, as the Special Servicer may deem appropriate, consistent with the Asset Status Report and Applicable Servicing Practices and the REMIC Provisions.

 

(v)           Any sale of the Whole Loan by the Special Servicer shall be subject to the rights of a Mezzanine Lender to exercise its option to purchase the Whole Loan following a default pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.

 

(b)           The right of the Special Servicer to purchase or sell the Whole Loan after the occurrence of a Special Servicing Loan Event shall terminate, and shall not be exercisable as set forth in clause (a) above (or if exercised but the purchase of the Whole Loan has not yet

 

-101-
 

 

occurred, the Special Servicer’s right shall terminate and such exercise shall be of no further force or effect) if the Whole Loan is no longer delinquent as a result of any of the following: (i) the Special Servicing Loan Event has ceased pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, (ii) the Whole Loan has become subject to a fully executed agreement reflecting the terms of the workout arrangement, (iii) the Whole Loan has otherwise been resolved (including by a full or discounted pay-off) or (iv) a Mezzanine Lender has exercised its purchase option set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement.

 

(c)          Any sale of the Whole Loan shall be for cash only, and shall be in accordance with and subject to the provisions of the Co-Lender Agreement.

 

(d)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Special Servicer shall not sell the Whole Loan pursuant to Section 3.16(a) without the written consent of the Companion Loan Holders (provided that such consent is not required from a Companion Loan Holder if such Companion Loan Holder is the Loan Borrower or an Affiliate of the Loan Borrower) unless the Special Servicer has delivered to the Companion Loan Holders: (a) at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior written notice of any decision to attempt to sell the Whole Loan; (b) at least ten (10) days prior to the permitted sale date, a copy of each bid package (together with any material amendments to such bid packages) received by the Special Servicer in connection with any such proposed sale; (c) at least ten (10) days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of the most recent appraisals for the Properties, and any documents in the Loan File reasonably requested by such Companion Loan Holder that are material to the price of the Whole Loan; and (d) until the sale is completed, and a reasonable period of time (but no less time than is afforded to other offerors) prior to the proposed sale date, all information and other documents being provided to other offerors and all leases or other documents that are approved by the Servicer or the Special Servicer in connection with the proposed sale; provided, that such Companion Loan Holder may waive any of the delivery or timing requirements set forth in this sentence. Any Companion Loan Holder will be permitted to make offers to purchase, and either such party is permitted to be the purchaser at any sale of, the Whole Loan.

 

Section 3.17.          Servicing Compensation.   The Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Servicing Fee with respect to the Whole Loan payable monthly from the Collection Account or otherwise in accordance with and subject to Section 3.4(c). The Servicer shall be entitled to retain as compensation any late payment charges and certain other customary charges and fees to the extent described below, as well as reimbursement for all other costs or expenses incurred by it in performing its duties hereunder, in each case, to the extent actually received from the Loan Borrowers and permitted by, or not prohibited by, and to be allocated to such amounts by the terms of the Loan Documents and this Agreement, other than: (i) fees of any sub-servicer and the expenses of any sub-servicer that would not be reimbursable to Servicer if such expenses were incurred by the Servicer; (ii) the cost of any fidelity bond or errors and omissions policy required by Section 3.11(d); (iii) overhead expenses of the Servicer including but not limited to those which may properly be allocable under the Servicer’s accounting system or otherwise to the Servicer’s activities under this Agreement or the income derived by it hereunder including the costs to the Servicer associated with employees of the Servicer performing services in connection with the obligations of the Servicer hereunder; and (iv) costs and expenses arising from the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Servicer in performing its obligations hereunder (the “Servicer Customary Expenses”). So long as no Special Servicing Loan Event

 

-102-
 

 

has occurred and is continuing, the Servicer shall also be entitled to retain as additional servicing compensation any late payment fees and Default Interest (including any late payment fees and Default Interest collected after the occurrence of a Special Servicing Loan Event but accrued prior to such Special Servicing Loan Event) (to the extent not applied pursuant to Section 3.4(c)), assumption fees, assumption application fees, substitution fees, release fees, Modification Fees (subject to the last paragraph of this Section 3.17), consent fees, amounts collected for checks returned for insufficient funds, charges for beneficiary statements or demands, loan service transaction and processing fees and similar fees and expenses to the extent, with respect to any such amounts, collected and allocated to such amounts as permitted by (or not otherwise prohibited by) the terms of the Loan Documents and this Agreement; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be entitled to apply or retain any Default Interest or any late payment charges, with respect to the Whole Loan, with respect to which a default thereunder or Loan Event of Default is continuing unless and until such default or Loan Event of Default has been cured and all delinquent amounts (including any Default Interest) due with respect to the Whole Loan have been paid in full and all interest on Advances has been paid in full. In addition, the Servicer shall be entitled to retain as additional servicing compensation release fees and any income earned (net of losses to the extent provided in this Agreement) on the investment of funds deposited in the Collection Account and any Reserve Account (to the extent not payable to the Loan Borrowers).

 

If a Special Servicing Loan Event occurs and is continuing, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to receive a Special Servicing Fee with respect to the Whole Loan for so long as such Special Servicing Loan Event continues as well as reimbursement for all other costs or expenses incurred by it in performing its duties hereunder other than: (i) the cost of any fidelity bond or errors and omissions policy required by Section 3.11(d); (ii) overhead expenses of the Special Servicer including but not limited to those which may properly be allocable under the Special Servicer’s accounting system or otherwise to the Special Servicer’s activities under this Agreement or the income derived by it hereunder including the costs to the Special Servicer associated with employees of the Special Servicer performing services in connection with the obligations of the Special Servicer hereunder; and (iii) costs and expenses arising from the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Special Servicer in performing its obligations hereunder (the “Special Servicer Customary Expenses”). If a Special Servicing Loan Event is terminated following resolution of such Special Servicing Loan Event by a written agreement with the Loan Borrowers negotiated by the Special Servicer, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Work-out Fee. If at any time the Whole Loan becomes a Specially Serviced Loan, the Special Servicer shall use reasonable efforts, consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, to collect the amount of any Special Servicing Fee, Liquidation Fee and/or Work-out Fee from the Loan Borrowers pursuant to Section 9.17(f) of the Loan Agreement, including exercising all remedies available under the Loan Agreement that would be in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, specifically taking into account the costs or likelihood of success of any such collection efforts and the Realized Loss that would be incurred by Certificateholders in connection therewith as opposed to the Realized Loss that would be incurred as a result of not collecting such amounts from the Loan Borrowers. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any Collection Period, the Special Servicer shall only be entitled to receive a Work-out Fee or a Liquidation Fee, but not both. In addition, no Liquidation Fee or Work-out Fee shall be payable to the Special Servicer if any Mezzanine Lender purchases the Whole Loan pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement (so long as such

 

-103-
 

 

purchase option occurs within 90 days after the first notice of the applicable event giving rise to such Mezzanine Lender’s purchase option is delivered to such Mezzanine Lender).

 

If the Special Servicer is terminated (other than for cause) or resigns after such written agreement is entered into and before or after the Special Servicing Loan Event is terminated, it shall retain the right to receive any and all Work-out Fees on all payments of principal and interest made on the Whole Loan following such written agreement (negotiated by such Special Servicer prior to its termination or resignation) for so long as another Special Servicing Loan Event does not occur and the successor Special Servicer shall have no rights with respect to such Work-out Fee. In addition, the Special Servicer shall be entitled to receive a Liquidation Fee with respect to any Liquidated Property or the liquidation of the Whole Loan or the Notes (whether through judicial foreclosure, sale, discounted payoff or other liquidation) as to which the Special Servicer receives Liquidation Proceeds. The Special Servicing Fee and any Liquidation Fee payable from Liquidation Proceeds (and not the Loan Borrowers) shall be payable from funds on deposit in the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.4(c). The Special Servicer during the continuance of a Special Servicing Loan Event shall also be entitled to retain as additional servicing compensation any late payment fees (to the extent not applied pursuant to Section 3.4(c)), Default Interest (to the extent not applied pursuant to Section 3.4(c)), assumption fees, assumption application fees, Modification Fees (subject to the last paragraph of this Section 3.17), consent fees, loan service transaction fees and similar fees and expenses and any income earned (net of losses to the extent provided in this Agreement) on the investment of funds deposited in the Foreclosed Property Account.

 

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, neither the Servicer nor the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall be entitled to reimbursement for an expense incurred under this Agreement or in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder unless (i) the amount of such payment to the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, is reimbursed to the Trust Fund by the Loan Borrowers (to the extent the Loan Borrowers are required to do so under the Loan Agreement); (ii) failure of the Loan Borrowers to reimburse for such payment constitutes a Loan Event of Default; (iii) such expense is an “unanticipated expense incurred by the REMIC” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(3)(ii) or is otherwise an unanticipated expense (it being understood that the Servicer Customary Expenses and the Special Servicer Customary Expenses are not unanticipated); or (iv) such reimbursement is expressly provided for herein or such expense is expressly described herein as an expense of the Trust Fund or as an Advance.

 

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of the Servicer’s right to receive all or any portion of the Servicing Fee (or the Special Servicer’s right to receive all or any portion of the Special Servicing Fee) or other servicing compensation provided for herein shall be made, and any such attempted transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition shall be void, unless such transfer is made to a successor Servicer or successor Special Servicer, as applicable, in connection with the assumption by such successor of the duties hereunder pursuant to Section 7.2.

 

With respect to each Collection Period, the Special Servicer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Servicer on the Determination Date, and the Servicer shall deliver, to the extent it has received, or cause to be delivered to the Certificate Administrator, without charge

 

-104-
 

 

on the Remittance Date, an electronic report that discloses and contains an itemized listing of any Disclosable Special Servicer Fees received by the Special Servicer or any of its Affiliates during the related Collection Period.

 

KeyBank National Association and any successor holder of the Excess Servicing Fee Rights shall be entitled, at any time, at its own expense, to transfer, sell, pledge or otherwise assign such Excess Servicing Fee Rights in whole (but not in part), to any QIB or Institutional Accredited Investor (other than a Benefit Plan), provided that no such transfer, sale, pledge or other assignment shall be made unless (i) that transfer, sale, pledge or other assignment is exempt from the registration and/or qualification requirements of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws and is otherwise made in accordance with the Securities Act and such state securities laws, (ii) the prospective transferor shall have delivered to the Depositor a certificate substantially in the form attached as Exhibit Z-1 hereto, and (iii) the prospective transferee shall have delivered to KeyBank National Association and the Depositor a certificate substantially in the form attached as Exhibit Z-2 hereto.

By its acceptance of an Excess Servicing Fee Right, the holder thereof shall be deemed to have agreed not to use or disclose such information in any manner that could result in a violation of any provision of the Securities Act or other applicable securities laws or that would require registration of such Excess Servicing Fee Right or any Certificate pursuant to the Securities Act. Following any transfer, sale, pledge or assignment of an Excess Servicing Fee Right or the termination of KeyBank National Association as the Servicer, the Person then acting as the Servicer, shall pay, out of each amount paid to such Servicer as Servicing Fees, the related Excess Servicing Fees to the holder of such Excess Servicing Fee Right within one (1) Business Day following the payment of such Servicing Fees to such Servicer, in each case in accordance with payment instructions provided by such holder in writing to such Servicer. The holder of an Excess Servicing Fee Right shall not have any rights under this Agreement except as set forth in the preceding sentences of this paragraph. None of the Depositor, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee shall have any obligation whatsoever regarding payment of the Excess Servicing Fee or the assignment or transfer of the Excess Servicing Fee Right.

-105-
 

 

arrangement) from any Person (including, without limitation, the Trust, any Loan Borrower, the Property Manager, any guarantor or indemnitor in respect of the Whole Loan and any purchaser of the Whole Loan or any Foreclosed Property) in connection with the disposition, workout or foreclosure of the Whole Loan, the management or disposition of any Foreclosed Property, or the performance of any other special servicing duties under this Agreement, other than as expressly provided in this Section 3.17; provided, however, that such prohibition shall not apply to Permitted Special Servicer/Affiliate Fees.

 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each be entitled to 50% of any Modification Fees incurred in connection with the extension of the Stated Maturity Date of the Whole Loan to which Special Servicer’s consent is required pursuant to clause (vii)(c) of the definition of Special Servicing Loan Event and (ii) the Special Servicer shall be entitled to 50% of any Modification Fees, assumption fees (excluding assumption application fees) and consent fees incurred in connection with any Major Decision for which the Special Servicer’s consent is required pursuant to Section 6.5(a).

None of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Servicer or the Special Servicer shall be responsible for the completeness or accuracy of such information (except that the Servicer shall use efforts consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices to correct patent errors).

 

Section 3.19.          [Reserved].

 

Section 3.20.          [Reserved].

 

Section 3.21.          Access to Certain Documentation Regarding the Whole Loan and Other Information.     (a) The Servicer and the Special Servicer shall provide to the Certificate Administrator, the Controlling Class Representative (during a Controlling Class Control Period and Controlling Class Consultation Period), the Trustee, the Initial Purchasers, the Depositor, any Certificateholders that are federally insured financial institutions, the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the supervisory agents and examiners of such boards and such corporations, and any other governmental or regulatory body to the jurisdiction of which any Certificateholder is subject, access to the documentation regarding the Whole Loan required by applicable regulations of the Federal Reserve Board, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency or any such governmental or regulatory body, such access being afforded without charge but only upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the offices of the Servicer or Special Servicer.

-107-
 

 

such receiving party shall promptly forward such Form ABS Due Diligence-15E to the 17g-5 Information Provider for posting on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website. The 17g-5 Information shall post on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website any Form ABS Due Diligence-15E it receives directly from a Due Diligence Service Provider or from another party to this Agreement, promptly upon receipt thereof.

 

(d)          The Special Servicer shall promptly notify the Certificate Administrator, substantially in the form of Exhibit R hereto, if the Special Servicer has actual knowledge that an event of default has occurred giving rise to an automatic acceleration of a Mezzanine Loan or giving rise to the right of the lender thereunder to accelerate such Mezzanine Loan or that the lender thereunder has commenced foreclosure proceedings against the related Mezzanine Collateral.

 

Section 3.22.          Inspections.  The Servicer shall inspect or cause to be inspected the Properties not less frequently than once each year commencing in 2017; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be required to inspect the Properties if they have been inspected by the Special Servicer in the preceding 12 months. The Special Servicer shall inspect or cause to be inspected the Properties as applicable and as soon as practicable following the occurrence of a Special Servicing Loan Event and annually for so long as a Specially Serviced Loan Event is continuing. The Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall further inspect, or cause to be inspected, the Properties whenever it receives information that the Properties have been damaged, left vacant, or abandoned, or if waste is being committed thereto. All such inspections shall be performed in such manner as shall be consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices. The cost of the annual inspections referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph shall be an expense of the Servicer; the cost of all additional inspections referred to in this paragraph shall be a Trust Fund Expense and if paid by the Servicer shall constitute a Property Protection Advance or an Administrative Advance. The Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall prepare a written report of inspection and deliver it to the Certificate Administrator. The Certificate Administrator shall post such report on the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 8.14(b).

 

Section 3.23.          Advances.     (a)  In the event that a Monthly Payment (or an Assumed Monthly Payment, as applicable) (other than the Balloon Payment) or any portion of a Monthly Payment (or an Assumed Monthly Payment, as applicable) (other than any Balloon Payment) on the Trust Loan has not been received by the close of the Business Day immediately prior to the Remittance Date, the Servicer, subject to its determination that such amounts are not Nonrecoverable Advances, shall make an advance on such Remittance Date to the Distribution Account, in an amount equal to the Monthly Payment (or an Assumed Monthly Payment, as applicable), or any such portion of the Monthly Payment (or an Assumed Monthly Payment, as applicable) on the Trust Loan that was delinquent as of the close of the Business Day immediately prior to such Remittance Date, in each case, net of the Servicing Fee (which will not be paid to the Servicer until the funds in the Collection Account are available for payment of such fee); provided that neither the Servicer nor any other party shall be entitled to interest accrued on the amount of any Monthly Payment Advance with respect to any the Trust Loan if the related Monthly Payment (or an Assumed Monthly Payment, as applicable) in respect of the Trust Loan is received by the Servicer or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, by 2:00 p.m., New York time, on such Remittance Date. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event

 

-108-
 

 

that the amount of interest on the Trust Loan is reduced as a result of any modification to the Trust Loan, any future Monthly Payment Advance made with respect to such modified Trust Loan shall be in such amounts as may be required as a result of such reduction. The Servicer shall maintain a record of each Monthly Payment Advance it has made pursuant to this Section 3.23(a) on the Trust Loan and the amount allocated to the related Note on a Note-by-Note Basis and shall notify the Certificate Administrator thereof in the appropriate CREFC® Reports in order to permit allocation thereof pursuant to Sections 3.4 and 3.5. In the event that the Servicer does not remit any amounts required to be remitted to the Certificate Administrator on each Remittance Date (including any amounts required to be remitted pursuant to Section 3.5 and any required Monthly Payment Advance) to the Certificate Administrator for deposit in the Distribution Account on the Remittance Date, the Servicer shall pay to the Certificate Administrator interest on such amounts at the federal funds rate for the period from and including the Remittance Date to but excluding the Distribution Date or, if earlier, the actual remittance date.

 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Monthly Payment Advances with respect to the Trust Loan shall be reimbursed solely out of amounts allocated to the Trust Loan pursuant to the Co-Lender Agreement and will not be reimbursed out of amounts allocated to the Companion Loans, and Companion Loan Advances with respect to any Companion Loan shall be reimbursed solely out of amounts allocated to such Companion Loan pursuant to the Co-Lender Agreement and will not be reimbursed out of amounts allocated to the Trust Loan or the other Companion Loan.

 

At any time that an Appraisal Reduction Amount exists, the amount that would otherwise be required to be advanced by the Servicer in respect of delinquent payments of principal and interest on the Trust Loan shall be reduced by multiplying such amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the then outstanding principal balance of the Trust Loan minus the applicable Appraisal Reduction Amount and the denominator of which is the then outstanding principal balance of the Trust Loan.

 

(b)          Subject to Section 3.23(e), the Servicer shall advance for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders, to the extent it determines that such amount is recoverable, all customary and reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Servicer or the Special Servicer in the performance of its servicing obligations, including, but not limited, to the costs and expenses incurred in connection with (i) the preservation, restoration, operation and protection of the Properties which, in the Servicer’s sole discretion, exercised in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, are necessary to prevent an immediate or material loss to the Trust Fund’s interest in the Properties, (ii) the payment of (A) real estate taxes, assessments and governmental charges that may be levied or assessed against any of the Loan Borrowers or any of their affiliates or the Properties or revenues from the Properties or which become liens on such Properties, (B) insurance premiums, (C) ground lease rents or other amounts required to be paid under any Ground Leases and (D) the out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) to the extent not paid by the Loan Borrowers that are incurred in connection with assumption of the Whole Loan or a release of the Properties from the liens of the Mortgages, (iii) any enforcement or judicial proceedings, including foreclosures and including, but not limited to, court costs, attorneys’ fees and expenses and costs for third-party

 

-109-
 

 

experts, including appraisers and environmental and engineering consultants, and (iv) the management, operation and liquidation of the Properties if such Property is acquired by the Special Servicer or its affiliate in the name of the Trustee on behalf of the Trust (collectively, “Property Protection Advances”). During the continuation of a Special Servicing Loan Event, the Special Servicer shall give the Servicer and the Trustee not less than five Business Days’ written notice before the date on which the Servicer is requested to make any Property Protection Advance with respect to the Whole Loan or any Foreclosed Property; provided, however, that only three Business Days’ written notice shall be required in respect of Property Protection Advances required to be made on an urgent or emergency basis (which may include, without limitation, Property Protection Advances required to make tax or insurance payments). In addition, the Special Servicer shall provide the Servicer with such information in its possession as the Servicer may reasonably request to enable the Servicer to determine whether a requested Property Protection Advance would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Special Servicer requests that the Servicer make an Advance, the Servicer may conclusively rely on such request as evidence that such advance is not a Nonrecoverable Advance.

 

(c)          To the extent the Servicer fails to make an Advance that it is required to make under this Agreement, the Trustee shall be required to make such Advance pursuant to Section 7.6. It is understood that the obligation of the Servicer and the Trustee (pursuant to Section 7.6) to make such Advances is mandatory, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, and shall continue to apply after any modification or amendment of the Whole Loan pursuant to Section 3.24 hereof, beyond the Stated Maturity Date of the Whole Loan if a payment default shall have occurred on such date and through any court appointed stay period or similar payment delay resulting from any insolvency of any Loan Borrower or related bankruptcy, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, other than the requirement of recoverability, and shall continue, subject to the requirement of recoverability, until the earlier of (i) the payment in full of the Trust Loan and (ii) the date on which the Properties become liquidated.

 

(d)          Interest on each Advance made by the Servicer or the Trustee shall accrue for each day that such Advance is outstanding at a rate of interest equal to the Prime Rate (the “Advance Rate”) for each such day (or the most recent day on which the Prime Rate was reported, if not reported on such day) on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed in a month. Interest on the Advances shall compound annually.

 

(e)          Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, shall be obligated to make an Advance only to the extent that the Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, has determined that such Advance, together with any previous unreimbursed Advances and interest on all those Advances at the Advance Rate, would not constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance if made. The Trustee and the Servicer, in that order, shall be entitled to reimbursement for any such Advances from the Collection Account and shall obtain such reimbursement in accordance with Section 3.4(c). If the context requires, each reference to the reimbursement or payment of an Advance shall be deemed to include, whether or not specifically referred to, payment or reimbursement of interest thereon at the Advance Rate through the date of payment or reimbursement.

 

-110-
 

 

(f)            The determination by the Servicer or the Trustee that it has made a Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be evidenced by the delivery of an Officer’s Certificate to the Certificate Administrator, the Companion Loan Holders, the Controlling Class Representative (during a Controlling Class Control Period and Controlling Class Consultation Period), and the Trustee in electronic format which format is reasonably acceptable to the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee (if such determination is made by the Servicer), detailing the reasons for such determination with supporting documents attached. Such Officer’s Certificate shall be made available to any Privileged Person by the Certificate Administrator posting such Officer’s Certificate to the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 8.14(b). The costs of any appraisals, reports or surveys and other information requested by the Servicer or the Trustee establishing an Advance as a Nonrecoverable Advance shall be treated as Trust Fund Expenses, payable from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.4(c), and shall constitute a Property Protection Advance or Administrative Advance, as applicable, if paid by the Servicer or the Trustee from its funds. The Servicer’s determination of nonrecoverability in accordance with the above provisions shall be conclusive and binding on the Trustee and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely conclusively thereupon. The Trustee, in determining whether or not a proposed Advance would be a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall make such determination in its reasonable business judgment.

 

(g)          The Servicer and the Trustee are not obligated to advance or pay (i) the delinquent scheduled payments with respect to any Companion Loan, (ii) the Balloon Payment with respect to the Trust Loan or any Companion Loan (but are required to advance the Assumed Monthly Payment with respect to the Trust Loan), (iii) any Default Interest, (iv) amounts required to cure any damages resulting from Uninsured Causes (except as required pursuant to Section 3.12(c)), any failure of the Properties to comply with any applicable law, including any environmental law, or (except in connection with the foreclosure or other acquisition of the Properties in accordance with Section 3.12 upon the occurrence of a Loan Event of Default) to investigate, test, monitor, contain, clean up, or remedy an environmental condition present at the Properties, (iv) any losses arising with respect to defects in the title to the Properties, (v) any costs of capital improvements to the Properties other than those necessary to prevent an immediate or material loss to the Trust’s interest in the Properties, (vi) subordinated obligations, including any Mezzanine Loan or (vii) any yield maintenance amounts or prepayment premiums.

 

Section 3.24.          Modifications of Loan Documents.    (a)  (i) The Servicer (if no Special Servicing Loan Event has occurred and is continuing) or the Special Servicer (during a Special Servicing Loan Event), in each case, subject to the rights of the Mezzanine Lenders under the Intercreditor Agreement, may modify, waive or amend any term of the Whole Loan if such modification, waiver or amendment (a) is consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices and (b) does not either (i) cause either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code or (ii) subject either such REMIC to any tax under the REMIC Provisions (and the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, may obtain and be entitled to rely upon an Opinion of Counsel in connection with such determination). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event may the Servicer or the Special Servicer permit an extension of the Stated Maturity Date beyond the date that is the earlier of (a) seven (7) years prior to the latest Rated Final Distribution Date and (b) twenty years prior to the end of the current term of any ground lease plus any options to extend the ground lease

exercisable unilaterally by the Loan Borrowers. In connection with (i) the release of a Property or a portion of a Property from the lien of the Mortgage or (ii) the taking of a Property or portion of a Property by exercise of the power of eminent domain or condemnation, if the Loan Documents require the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to calculate the loan-to-value ratio of the remaining portion of such Property, for purposes of REMIC qualification of the Trust Loan, then, unless then permitted by the REMIC Provisions, such calculation shall exclude the value of personal property and going concern value, if any.

 

(b)          All modifications, waivers or amendments of the Whole Loan shall be in writing and shall be effected in a manner consistent with Accepted Servicing Practices, the REMIC Provisions and the provisions of the Co-Lender Agreement. The Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall notify the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Companion Loan Holders, the Controlling Class Representative (during a Controlling Class Control Period and Controlling Class Consultation Period) and the Depositor, in writing, of any modification, waiver or amendment of any term of the Whole Loan and the date thereof, and shall deliver to the Certificate Administrator (in its capacity as custodian), the Companion Loan Holders and the Controlling Class Representative (during a Controlling Class Control Period and Controlling Class Consultation Period) an original recorded counterpart of the agreement relating to such modification, waiver or amendment within ten (10) Business Days following the execution and recordation thereof. In the event the Servicer or Special Servicer adversely modifies the interest rate applicable to any Note, any aggregate adverse economic effect of the modification shall be applied to the Certificates, in reverse order of seniority. If the Whole Loan is modified, the Note Interest Rate on each Note shall not change for purposes of distributions on the Certificates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall modify the Note Interest Rates unless the Trust Loan is in default or default is reasonably foreseeable.

 

(c)          Subject to Section 3.26, any modification of the Loan Documents that requires a Rating Agency Confirmation pursuant to the Loan Documents, or any modification that would eliminate, modify or alter the requirement of obtaining such Rating Agency Confirmation in the Loan Documents, shall not be made without the Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s, as applicable, first receipt of such Rating Agency Confirmation. Such Rating Agency Confirmation shall be obtained at the Loan Borrowers’ expense in accordance with the Loan Agreement or, if not so provided in the Loan Agreement or if none of the Loan Borrowers pay, at the expense of the Trust Fund.

 

(d)          Promptly after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Special Servicing Loan Event, the Special Servicer shall request from the Certificate Administrator the name of the current Controlling Class Representative. Upon receipt of the name of such current Controlling Class Representative from the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer shall notify the Controlling Class Representative that a Special Servicing Loan Event has occurred. The Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for providing the name of the current Controlling Class Representative only to the extent the Controlling Class Representative has identified itself as such to the Certificate Administrator; provided that if the Controlling Class Representative is determined pursuant to the proviso in the definition of “Controlling Class Representative”, then (i) the Certificate Administrator shall determine which Class is the Controlling Class and (ii) the Special Servicer shall request from the Certificate Administrator, and the Certificate Administrator shall request from the Depository at the expense of the Trust,

 

-112-
 

 

the list of Beneficial Holders of the Controlling Class, and the Certificate Administrator shall provide (on a reasonably prompt basis) such list to the Special Servicer and the Servicer at the expense of the Trust Fund.

 

(e)          Subject to Section 3.26, prior to implementing any of the following actions, the Servicer or the Special Servicer shall obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such action:

 

(i)           any release of real property collateral for the Whole Loan (other than releases of immaterial and non-income producing real property collateral) except as expressly permitted by the Loan Documents without the Loan Lender’s consent;

 

(ii)          any determination not to enforce a “due-on-sale” or “due-on-encumbrance” clause (unless such clause is not exercisable under applicable law or such exercise is reasonably likely to result in successful legal action by a Loan Borrower);

 

(iii)         any transfer of the Properties or any portion of the Properties, or any transfer of any direct or indirect ownership interest in a Loan Borrower to the extent the Loan Lender’s consent is required under the Loan Documents, except in each case as expressly permitted by the Loan Documents without the Loan Lender’s consent or in connection with a pending or threatened condemnation;

 

(iv)         any consent to incurrence of additional debt by a Loan Borrower or mezzanine debt by a direct or indirect parent of a Loan Borrower, including modification of the terms of any document evidencing or securing any such additional debt and of any intercreditor or subordination agreement executed in connection therewith and any waiver of or amendment or modification to the terms of any such document or agreement, in each case to the extent the mortgagee’s approval is required by the Loan Documents;

 

(v)          approval of the termination or replacement of the Property Manager, to the extent the Loan Lender’s approval is required by the Loan Documents;

(f)          Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not permit the substitution of a Property pursuant to the defeasance provisions of the Loan Agreement unless such defeasance complies with Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii) and the Servicer has received (i) replacement collateral consisting of government securities within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii), which satisfies the requirements of the Loan Documents, in an amount sufficient to make all scheduled payments required under the terms of the Whole Loan when due, (ii) a certificate of an Independent certified public accountant to the effect that such substituted property will provide cash flows sufficient to meet all payments of interest and principal (including payments at maturity) on the Whole Loan in compliance with the requirements of the terms of the Loan Documents, (iii) one or more Opinions of Counsel (at the expense of the Loan Borrowers) to the effect that the Trustee, on behalf of the Trust, will have a first priority perfected security interest in such substituted property; provided, however, that, to the extent consistent with the Loan Documents, the Loan Borrowers shall pay the cost of any such opinion as a condition to granting such defeasance, (iv) to the extent consistent with the Loan Documents, the Loan Borrower shall establish a single purpose entity to act as a successor mortgagor, if so required by the Rating Agencies, (v) to the extent permissible under the Loan Documents, the Servicer shall use its reasonable efforts to require the Loan Borrowers to pay all costs of such defeasance, including but not limited to the cost of maintaining any successor mortgagor, and (vi) to the extent permissible under the Loan Documents, the Servicer shall obtain, at the expense of the Loan Borrowers, Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency.

 

(g)          The Servicer shall deposit all payments received by it from defeasance collateral substituted for a Property into the Collection Account and treat any such payments as payments made on the Whole Loan in advance of its Payment Date, and not as a prepayment of the Whole Loan.

Section 3.26.          Rating Agency Confirmations.    (a)  Notwithstanding the terms of any Loan Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement or other provisions of this Agreement, if any action under any Loan Documents or this Agreement requires a Rating Agency Confirmation as a condition precedent to such action, if the party (the “Requesting Party”) attempting to obtain such Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency has made a request to any such Rating Agency for such Rating Agency Confirmation and, within 10 Business Days of the Rating Agency Confirmation 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 a Rating Agency Confirmation, then such Requesting Party shall be required (without providing notice to the 17g-5 Information Provider) to (i) confirm that the applicable Rating Agency has received the Rating Agency Confirmation request, and, if it has not, promptly request the related

 

-114-
 

 

Rating Agency Confirmation again and (ii) if there is no response to either Rating Agency Confirmation request within 5 Business Days of such confirmation or such second request (after seeking to confirm that the applicable Rating Agency received such second Rating Agency Confirmation request), as applicable, then (x) with respect to any condition in the Loan Documents requiring a Rating Agency Confirmation or any other matter under this Agreement relating to the servicing of the Whole Loan (other than as set forth in clause (y) below), the Requesting Party (or, if the Requesting Party is a Loan Borrower, then the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable) will be required to determine, in accordance with its duties under this Agreement and in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, whether or not such action would be in the best interest of Certificateholders, and if the Requesting Party (or, if the Requesting Party is a Loan Borrower, then the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable) determines that such action would be in the best interest of the Certificateholders, then the requirement for a Rating Agency Confirmation will not apply (provided, however, with respect to the release or substitution of any collateral relating to the Trust Loan, any Rating Agency Confirmation requirement that the Servicer or Special Servicer would have been permitted to waive pursuant to this Agreement will not apply without any such determination by the Requesting Party (or the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable) (it being understood that the Requesting Party (or the Servicer, or the Special Servicer, as applicable) will in any event review the conditions required under the Loan Documents with respect to such release and confirm to its satisfaction in accordance with the Accepted Servicing Practices that such conditions (other than the requirement for a Rating Agency Confirmation) have been satisfied)), and (y) with respect to a replacement of the Servicer or Special Servicer, such condition will not apply if such Servicer or Special Servicer is a Qualified Servicer. For all other matters or actions (a) not specifically discussed above in clauses (x) or (y) or (b) that are not the subject of a Rating Agency Declination, the applicable Requesting Party shall be required to obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation from each of the Rating Agencies.

 

(b)          Any Rating Agency Confirmation requests made by the Servicer, Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or Trustee, as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement, shall be made in writing (an email shall be sufficient as a writing), which writing shall contain a cover page indicating the nature of the Rating Agency Confirmation request, and shall contain all back-up material the Servicer, Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or Trustee, as applicable, reasonably deems necessary for the Rating Agency (including those for Companion Loan Securities) to process such request. Subject to Section 10.17, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, shall furnish such written Rating Agency Confirmation request to the 17g-5 Information Provider, and the 17g-5 Information Provider shall post such request on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 10.16 in accordance with the delivery instructions set forth in Section 10.5.

 

(c)          Promptly following the Special Servicer’s determination to take any action described in Section 3.26(a) without receiving Rating Agency Confirmation, the Special Servicer shall, subject to Section 10.17, provide written notice of such determination to the 17g-5 Information Provider, and the 17g-5 Information Provider shall post such request on the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website in accordance with Section 10.16.

Section 3.27.          Intercreditor Agreement; Notice of Loan Event of Default; Notice of Controlling Class Control Period Commencement.

 

(a)          The Servicer shall give notice of any Loan Event of Default to each Mezzanine Lender promptly (and, in the event of the failure to make a payment on its Loan Payment Date, such notice shall be given promptly following such Loan Payment Date) upon a Servicing Officer of the Servicer gaining actual knowledge of such default or Loan Event of Default, as provided in the Intercreditor Agreement, whether or not the Servicer is obligated to give notice thereof to the Loan Borrowers. Such notice to the Mezzanine Lenders shall be given by certified mail, return receipt requested, by fax, by e-mail or by a nationally recognized overnight courier. The Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall exercise the rights of the Trust as successor in interest to the mortgagee under the Intercreditor Agreement. Subject to the rights of the Controlling Class Representative during any Controlling Class Control Period and any Controlling Class Consultation Period, the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall comply with and enforce the rights and obligations of the Trust under the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement. The rights of the Trust and the Certificateholders in and under the Trust Loan and the Loan Documents shall be subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.

 

(b)          The Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, will be required to give prompt notice to the Certificate Administrator that the Mezzanine A Loan has been foreclosed upon or otherwise repaid in full and that a Controlling Class Control Period has commenced, upon their receipt of notice of such an event.

 

Section 3.28.          Miscellaneous Provisions.    Notwithstanding the terms of the related Loan Documents, the other provisions of this Agreement or the Co-Lender Agreement, with respect to any Companion Loan as to which there exists Companion Loan Securities, if any action relating to the servicing and administration of the Whole Loan or a Foreclosed Property (the “Relevant Action”) requires delivery of a Rating Agency Confirmation as a condition precedent to such action pursuant to this Agreement, then, except as set forth below in this paragraph, such action will also require delivery of a Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation as a condition precedent to such action from each Companion Loan Rating Agency. Each Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation shall be sought by the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, depending on whichever such party is seeking the corresponding Rating Agency Confirmation(s) in connection with the Relevant Action. The requirement to obtain a Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to any Companion Loan Securities will be subject to, will be permitted to be waived by the Servicer and the Special Servicer on, and will be deemed not to apply on, the same terms and conditions applicable to obtaining Rating Agency Confirmations, as set forth in this Agreement; provided, that the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, depending on which is seeking the subject Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation, shall forward to one or more of its counterpart (i.e., the master servicer or special servicer, as applicable), the counterpart providing or posting Rule 17g-5 information, or such other party or parties (as are agreed to by the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and the applicable parties for the related Other Securitization Trust), at the expense of the Other Securitization Trust to the extent not borne by the Loan Borrowers, and in such format as the sender and recipient may reasonably agree, (i) the request for such Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation at least two (2) Business Days before it is sent to the applicable Companion Loan Rating Agency, (ii) all materials forwarded to the 17g-

 

-116-
 

 

5 Information Provider under this Agreement in connection with seeking the Rating Agency Confirmation(s) for the applicable Relevant Action at approximately the same time that such materials are forwarded to the 17g-5 Information Provider, and (iii) any other materials that the applicable Companion Loan Rating Agency may reasonably request in connection with such Companion Loan Rating Agency Confirmation promptly following such request.

 

Section 3.29.          Companion Loan Intercreditor Matters.    (a)  If, pursuant to Section 2.8, or Section 3.16 of this Agreement, the Trust Loan is, in its entirety, purchased or repurchased from the Trust, the subsequent holder thereof shall be bound by the terms of the Co-Lender Agreement and shall assume the rights and obligations of the holder of the Notes related to the Trust Loan under the Co-Lender Agreement. All portions of the Mortgage File and (to the extent provided under the Loan Purchase Agreement) other documents pertaining to the Trust Loan shall be endorsed or assigned to the extent necessary or appropriate to the purchaser of the Trust Loan in its capacity as the holder of the Notes related to the Trust Loan (as a result of such purchase, repurchase or substitution) and (except for the actual Notes) on behalf of the holders of the Notes that represent the Companion Loans. Thereafter, such Mortgage File shall be held by the holder of the Trust Loan or a custodian appointed thereby for the benefit thereof, on behalf of itself and the Companion Loan Holders as their interests appear under the Co-Lender Agreement. If the related servicing file is not already in the possession of such party, it shall be delivered to the master servicer or special servicer, as the case may be, under any separate servicing agreement for the Whole Loan.

 

(b)          Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, shall deliver reports and notices to each Companion Loan Holder to the extent required under the Co-Lender Agreement.

 

(c)          With respect to the Whole Loan, the Servicer shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, on an ongoing basis, a statement setting forth, to the extent applicable to the Whole Loan:

 

(i)            (A) the amount of the distribution from the Collection Account allocable to principal and (B) separately identifying the amount of scheduled principal payments, Balloon Payments, principal prepayments made at the option of the Loan Borrower or other principal prepayments (specifying the reason therefor), net liquidation proceeds and foreclosure proceeds included therein and information on distributions made with respect to the Whole Loan;

 

(ii)           the amount of the distribution from the Collection Account allocable to interest and the amount of Default Interest allocable to the Whole Loan;

 

(iii)          the amount of the distribution to the Companion Loan Holders, separately identifying the non-default interest, principal and other amounts included therein, and if the distribution to the Companion Loan Holders is less than the full amount that would be distributable to such Companion Loan Holders if there were sufficient amounts available therefor, the amount of the shortfall and the allocation thereof between interest and principal and the amount of the shortfall, if any, under the Whole Loan;

 

-117-
 

 

(iv)          the principal balance of each of the Whole Loan and the Companion Loans after giving effect to the distribution of principal as of the end of the related Collection Period; and

 

(v)           the amount of the servicing compensation paid to the Servicer and the Special Servicer with respect to the most recent Distribution Date, showing separately the Servicing Fee, the Special Servicing Fee, the Workout Fee and the Liquidation Fee.

 

Not later than each Remittance Date, the Servicer shall make the foregoing statement available to the Companion Loan Holder by electronic means.

 

(d)          At any time after a Companion Loan has become part of an Other Securitization Trust and provided that the applicable parties hereto have received written notice (which may be by email) thereof including contact information for the master servicer and special servicer with respect to such Other Securitization Trust, all notices, reports, information or other deliverables required to be delivered to the related Companion Loan Holders pursuant to this Agreement or the Co-Lender Agreement shall be delivered to the master servicer and special servicer with respect to such Other Securitization Trust (who then may forward such items to the party entitled to receive such items as and to the extent provided in the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement) and, when so delivered to such master servicer and special servicer, the party hereto that is obligated under this Agreement or the Co-Lender Agreement to deliver such notices, reports, information or other deliverables shall be deemed to have satisfied its delivery obligations with respect to such items hereunder or under the Co-Lender Agreement.

Amounts distributable pursuant to this paragraph are referred to herein collectively as the “Lower-Tier Distribution Amount”, and shall be made by the Certificate Administrator by deeming such Lower-Tier Distribution Amount to be withdrawn from the Lower-Tier REMIC Distribution Account to be deposited in the Upper-Tier REMIC Distribution Account.

 

As of any date, the principal balance of each Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interest shall equal its Lower-Tier Principal Amount. The Pass-Through Rate with respect to each Uncertificated Lower-Tier Interest shall be the rate per annum set forth in the Introductory Statement hereto.

 

Any amount that remains in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account on each Distribution Date after distribution of the Lower-Tier Distribution Amount and any Yield Maintenance Premiums distributed pursuant to Section 4.3 shall be distributed to the Holders of the Class R Certificates (in respect of the Class LT-R Interest, but only to the extent of the amount remaining in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account, if any).

 

Distributions to the Class R Certificateholders (in respect of the Class LT-R Interest) from the Lower-Tier Distribution Account and to the Class R Certificate holders (in respect of the Class UT-R Interest) and to other Certificateholders from the Upper-Tier Distribution Account on each Distribution Date shall be made by the Certificate Administrator (after withdrawing any amounts deposited in the Distribution Account in error to the extent funds are available for such purpose) to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date (other than as provided in Section 9.1 in respect of the final distribution), by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor; provided that the Certificate Administrator has received appropriate wire transfer instructions therefrom, or by check by first class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register if wiring instructions have not been received at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Distribution Date.

 

(c)          All amounts distributable to a Class of Certificates pursuant to Section 4.1(a) on each Distribution Date shall be allocated pro rata among the outstanding Certificates in each such Class based on their respective Percentage Interests. Such distributions shall be made on each Distribution Date to each Certificateholder of record on the related Record Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor provided that the Certificate Administrator has received appropriate wire transfer instructions therefrom, or by check by first class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register if wiring instructions have not been received at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Distribution Date. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the location specified by the Certificate Administrator in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

 

(d)          The Certificate Administrator shall, as soon as reasonably possible after notice thereof by the Servicer to the Certificate Administrator that the final distribution with

 

-120-
 

 

respect to any Class of Certificates is expected to be made, mail to each Holder of such Class of Certificates on such date a notice to the effect that:

 

(i)            the Certificate Administrator reasonably expects based upon information previously provided to it that the final distribution with respect to such Class of Certificates shall be made on such Distribution Date, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificates at the office of the Certificate Administrator therein specified; and

 

(ii)           if such final distribution is made on such Distribution Date, no interest shall accrue on such Certificate from and after the Interest Accrual Period related to such Distribution Date.

 

(e)           Any funds not distributed to any Holder or Holders of Certificates of such Class on such Distribution Date because of the failure of such Holder or Holders to tender their Certificates shall, on such date, be set aside and held in trust for the benefit of the appropriate non-tendering Holder or Holders. If any Certificates as to which notice has been given pursuant to this Section 4.1 shall not have been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Certificate Administrator shall mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation to receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second notice not all of such Certificates shall have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator may, directly or through an agent, take appropriate steps to contact the remaining non-tendering Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates. The costs and expenses of holding such funds in trust and of contacting such Certificateholders shall be paid out of such funds. All such amounts shall be held by the Certificate Administrator in trust in accordance herewith until the expiration of a two-year period following such second notice, notwithstanding any termination of the Trust Fund. If within two years after the second notice any such Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Administrator shall hold all amounts distributable to the Holders thereof for the benefit of such Holders until the earlier of (i) its termination as Certificate Administrator hereunder and the transfer of such amounts to a successor Certificate Administrator and (ii) the termination of the Trust Fund, at which time such amounts shall be distributed, subject to applicable law, to the Depositor. No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Certificateholder on any amount held in trust hereunder or by the Certificate Administrator as a result of such Certificateholder’s failure to surrender its Certificate(s) for final payment thereof in accordance with this Section 4.1(e). Any such amounts transferred to the Certificate Administrator will remain uninvested. In the event the Certificate Administrator is permitted or required to invest any amounts in Permitted Investments under this Agreement in the event of its assumption of the duties of, or becoming the successor to, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, it shall invest such amounts in Permitted Investments under clause (i) of the definition of Permitted Investments.

 

(f)            Subject to the following sentence, the Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for the calculations with respect to distributions from the Trust so long as the Trust Fund has not been terminated in accordance with this Agreement. The Certificate Administrator shall have no duty to recompile, recalculate or verify the accuracy of information provided to it

 

-121-
 

 

by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.18(a) and, in the absence of manifest error in such information, may conclusively rely upon it.

 

(g)           On each Distribution Date, Realized Losses with respect to the Trust Loan shall be allocated to and applied as a reduction of the Certificate Balance of each Class of Sequential Pay Certificates in the following order:

 

first, to the Class D Certificates;

 

second, to the Class C Certificates;

 

third, to the Class B Certificates; and

 

fourth, to the Class A Certificates.

 

in each case, until the Certificate Balance thereof has been reduced to zero.

 

The Notional Amount of the Class X-A Certificates shall be reduced by the amount of Realized Losses allocated to the Class A Certificates. The Notional Amount of the Class X-B Certificates will be reduced by the amount of Realized Losses allocated to the Class B Certificates.

 

(h)          On the first Distribution Date only, the  Certificate Administrator shall withdraw $100 from the Upper-Tier Distribution Account and distribute $100 to the Class X-B Certificates.  Such distribution will be deemed a payment of principal on the REMIC regular interest principal balance of the Class X-B Certificates (being $100) for federal income tax purposes.

 

Section 4.2.          Withholding Tax.     (a)  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Certificate Administrator shall comply with all federal withholding requirements with respect to payments to Certificateholders or payees that the Certificate Administrator reasonably believes are applicable under the Code. The consent of Certificateholders shall not be required for any such withholding and each Certificateholder is hereby deemed to have agreed by virtue of its purchase of such Certificate (or beneficial ownership interest in such Certificate) to provide all information required by the Certificate Administrator. In the event the Certificate Administrator withholds any amount from interest payments or advances thereof to any Certificateholder or payee pursuant to federal withholding requirements, amounts so withheld shall be treated as having been entirely distributed to such Certificateholder or payee, and the Certificate Administrator shall indicate the amount withheld to such Certificateholder or payee through a report.

 

Section 4.3.          Allocation and Distribution of Yield Maintenance Premiums.    On any Distribution Date, Yield Maintenance Premiums, if any, collected in respect of the Trust Loan during the related Collection Period shall be distributed by the Certificate Administrator to the Holders of each Class of Certificates in the following manner: (1) pro rata, between (x) the group (the “YM Group A”) of Class A and Class X-A Certificates, and (y) the group (the “YM Group B” and collectively with the YM Group A, the “YM Groups”) of Class X-B, Class B, Class C and Class D Certificates, based upon the aggregate amount of principal distributed to the

 

-122-
 

 

Classes of Sequential Pay Certificates in each YM Group on such Distribution Date, and (2) as among the Classes of Certificates in each YM Group, in the following manner: (A) the Certificateholders of each Class of Sequential Pay Certificates in such YM Group shall be entitled to receive on each Distribution Date an amount of Yield Maintenance Premiums, if any, collected in respect of the Trust Loan prepayments, equal to the product of (i) a fraction whose numerator is the amount of principal distributed to such Class on such Distribution Date and whose denominator is the total amount of principal distributed to all of the Certificates in that YM Group representing principal payments in respect of the Trust Loan on such Distribution Date, (ii) the Base Interest Fraction for the related principal prepayment and such Class of Sequential Pay Certificates, and (iii) the Yield Maintenance Premiums, as applicable, collected during the related Collection Period and allocated to such YM Group, and (B) any Yield Maintenance Premiums, as applicable, allocated to such YM Group collected during the related Collection Period remaining after such distributions to the Sequential Pay Certificates in such YM Group will be distributed to the Class of Class X Certificates in such YM Group.

 

On each Distribution Date, the Certificate Administrator shall apply amounts related to Yield Maintenance Premiums then on deposit in the Lower-Tier Distribution Account and received during or prior to the related Collection Period to the Class LA Uncertificated Interest pursuant to this Section 4.3.

 

Section 4.4.          Statements to Certificateholders.   (a)  On each Distribution Date, based on information provided by the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, the Certificate Administrator shall prepare and make available on the Certificate Administrator’s Website pursuant to Section 8.14(b) to any Privileged Person and any Borrower Related Party that certifies to the Certificate Administrator in the form of Exhibit Y-2 that it is a Certificateholder or Beneficial Owner of a Certificate, a statement, based upon the information provided to it by the Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, in respect of the distributions made on such Distribution Date (a “Distribution Date Statement”) setting forth, among other things:

(h)          Exchanges of Non-Book Entry Certificates. If a holder of a Rule 144A Global Certificate, Regulation S Global Certificate or Non-Book Entry Certificate wishes at any time to transfer its interest in such Rule 144A Global Certificate, Regulation S Global Certificate or Non-Book Entry Certificate to a Person who is required to take delivery thereof in the form of a Non-Book Entry Certificate, then the Certificate Registrar shall refuse to register such transfer unless it receives (and upon receipt, may conclusively rely upon): (i) an investment representation letter from the proposed transferee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit J-1 to this Agreement and (ii) if required by the Certificate Registrar, an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar to the effect that such transfer shall be made without registration under the Securities Act, together with the written certification(s) as to the facts surrounding such transfer from the Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer and/or the proposed transferee on which such opinion of counsel is based (such opinion of counsel shall not be an expense of the Trust or of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar in their respective capacities as such).

 

(i)           Other Exchanges. In the event that a Global Certificate is exchanged for a Definitive Certificate, such Certificates may be exchanged only in accordance with such procedures as are substantially consistent with the provisions of clauses (c) through (f) and (h) above (including the certification requirements intended to ensure that such transfers comply with Rule 144A or Regulation S under the Securities Act, at the case may be) and such other procedures as may from time to time be adopted by the Certificate Registrar.

Upon provision of such satisfactory evidence, the Certificate Registrar shall authenticate and deliver Certificates that do not bear such legend.

(m)          No Class X-B or Class R Certificates may be purchased by or transferred to any prospective purchaser or transferee that is or will be an “employee benefit plan” within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA that is subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of ERISA, or any “plan” within the meaning of Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code that is subject to Section 4975 of the Code, or any other plan or arrangement subject to any federal, state or local law materially similar to the foregoing provisions of ERISA or the Code (“Similar Law”) or a Person whose assets include the assets of any such employee benefit plan or plan within the meaning of Department of Labor Regulation Section 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise (each, a “Benefit Plan”), or any person acting on behalf of any such Benefit Plan or using the assets of a Benefit Plan to purchase such Certificate. Each prospective transferee of a Class X-B or Class R Certificate in definitive form (other than the Initial Purchaser) shall deliver to the transferor, the Certificate Registrar and the Certificate Administrator a representation letter, substantially in the form of Exhibit O, stating that the prospective transferee meets the requirements of the preceding sentence.

Any purported transfer in violation of this Section 5.3(m) shall be null and void ab initio and shall vest no rights in any such purported purchaser or transferee.

 

(n)          Each Person who has or acquires any Residual Ownership Interest shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such Residual Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions and the rights of each Person acquiring any Residual Ownership Interest are expressly subject to the following provisions:

 

(i)           Each Person acquiring or holding any Residual Ownership Interest shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall not acquire or hold such Residual Ownership Interest as agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) on behalf of any Person that is not a Permitted Transferee. Any such Person shall promptly notify the Certificate Registrar of any change or impending change in its status (or the status of the beneficial owner of such Residual Ownership Interest) as a Permitted Transferee. Any acquisition of a Residual Ownership Interest by a Person who is not a Permitted Transferee or by a Person who is acting as an agent of a Person who is not a Permitted Transferee shall be void ab initio and of no effect, and the immediately preceding owner who was a Permitted Transferee shall be restored to registered and beneficial ownership of the Residual Ownership Interest as soon and as fully as possible.

 

(ii)          No Residual Ownership Interest may be transferred, and no such transfer shall be registered in the Certificate Register, without the express written consent of the Certificate Registrar, and the Certificate Registrar shall not recognize the transfer, and such proposed transfer shall not be effective, without such consent with respect thereto. In connection with any proposed transfer of any Residual Ownership Interest, the Certificate Registrar shall, as a condition to such consent, (x) require the proposed

transferee to deliver, and the proposed transferee shall deliver to the Certificate Registrar and to the proposed transferor, an affidavit in substantially the form attached as Exhibit J-2 (a “Transferee Affidavit”) of the proposed transferee (A) that such proposed transferee is a Permitted Transferee and (B) stating that (1) the proposed transferee historically has paid its debts as they have come due and intends to do so in the future, (2) the proposed transferee understands that, as the holder of a Residual Ownership Interest, it may incur liabilities in excess of cash flows generated by the residual interest, (3) the proposed transferee intends to pay taxes associated with holding the Residual Ownership Interest as they become due, (4) the proposed transferee will not cause income with respect to the Residual Ownership Interest to be attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty, of such proposed transferee or any other U.S. Person, (5) the proposed transferee will not transfer the Residual Ownership Interest to any Person that does not provide a Transferee Affidavit or as to which the proposed transferee has actual knowledge that such Person is not a Permitted Transferee or is acting as an agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) for a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee, and (6) the proposed transferee expressly agrees to be bound by and to abide by the provisions of this Section 5.3(n) and (y) other than in connection with the initial issuance of a Class R Certificate, require a statement from the proposed transferor substantially in the form attached as Exhibit J-3 (the “Transferor Letter”), that the proposed transferor has no actual knowledge that the proposed transferee is not a Permitted Transferee and has no actual knowledge or reason to know that the proposed transferee’s statements in the Transferee Affidavit are false.

 

(iii)         Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transferee Affidavit by a proposed transferee under clause (ii) above, if a Responsible Officer of the Certificate Registrar has actual knowledge that the proposed transferee is not a Permitted Transferee, no transfer to such proposed transferee shall be effected and such proposed transfer shall not be registered on the Certificate Register; provided, however, the Certificate Registrar shall not be required to conduct any independent investigation to determine whether a proposed transferee is a Permitted Transferee. Upon notice to the Certificate Registrar that there has occurred a transfer to any Person that is a Disqualified Organization or an agent thereof (including a broker, nominee or middleman) in contravention of the foregoing restrictions, and in any event not later than 60 days after a request for information from the transferor of such Residual Ownership Interest or such agent, the Certificate Registrar and the Certificate Administrator agree to furnish to the IRS and the transferor of such Residual Ownership Interest or such agent such information necessary to the application of Section 860E(e) of the Code as may be required by the Code, including, but not limited to, the present value of the total anticipated excess inclusions with respect to such Class R Certificate (or portion thereof) for periods after such transfer. At the election of the Certificate Registrar, the Certificate Registrar may charge a reasonable fee for computing and furnishing such information to the transferor or to such agent referred to above; provided, however, such Persons shall in no event be excused from furnishing such information.

 

(iv)         The Class R Certificates may only be issued as Definitive Certificates and transferred to and owned by QIBs.

If (a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate Registrar, or the Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate and (b) there is delivered to the Certificate Registrar such security or indemnity as may be required by it to save it harmless, then, in the absence of actual notice to the Certificate Registrar that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Certificate Registrar shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like tenor and interest in the Trust Fund. In connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 5.4, the Certificate Registrar may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Certificate Registrar) connected therewith.

Section 5.5.          Persons Deemed Owners. The Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of any of them, may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in this Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of any of them shall be affected by any notice to the contrary; provided, however, that to the extent that a party to this Agreement responsible for distributing any report, statement or other information required to be distributed to Certificateholders has been provided an Investor Certification, such party to this Agreement shall distribute such report, statement or other information to such beneficial owner (or prospective transferee).

 

Section 5.6.          Access to List of Certificateholders’ Names and Addresses; Special Notices. The Certificate Registrar shall maintain in as current form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of the Certificateholders.

Every Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a Certificate, agrees that the Certificate Registrar shall not be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the list of the Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of the source from which such information was derived. The Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Depositor shall be entitled to a list of the names and addresses of Certificateholders from time to time upon request therefor.

 

Upon the written request of any Certificateholder that (a) has provided an Investor Certification, (b) states that such Certificateholder desires the Certificate Administrator to transmit a notice to all Certificateholders stating that such Certificateholder wishes to be

The costs and expenses of the Certificate Administrator associated with delivering any such Special Notice shall be borne by the party requesting such Special Notice. Every Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a Certificate, agrees that neither the Certificate Administrator nor the Certificate Registrar shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such Special Notice to Certificateholders, regardless of the information set forth in such Special Notice.

 

Section 5.7.          Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Certificate Registrar shall maintain or cause to be maintained an office or offices or agency or agencies where Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Certificate Registrar in respect of the Certificates and this Agreement may be served.

Section 6.3.          Limitation on Liability of the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer and Others. (a)  Neither the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer nor any of their respective directors, officers, members, managers, partners, employees, Affiliates or agents shall be under any liability to the Trust, the Certificateholders or any Companion Loan Holder for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, actions taken or not taken at the direction of Certificateholders or the Companion Loan Holders in accordance with this Agreement or the Co-Lender Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer or any such other person against any breach of warranties or representations made herein or any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of negligent disregard of its obligations and duties hereunder. The Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer and any of their respective directors, officers, employees, members, managers, partners, Affiliates or agents may reasonably rely on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer and any of their respective directors, officers, members, managers, partners, employees, agents, Affiliates or other “controlling persons” within the meaning of the Securities Act (“Controlling Persons”), shall be indemnified by the Trust (in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.4(c)) and held harmless against any loss, liability, claim, demand or expense incurred in connection with any legal action or other claims, losses, penalties, fines, foreclosures, judgments or liabilities relating to this Agreement, the Co-Lender Agreement, the Whole Loan, the Properties, or the Certificates (except as any such loss, liability or expense shall be otherwise reimbursable and reimbursed pursuant to this Agreement), other than any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence by it in the performance of its duties hereunder or by reason of its negligent disregard of its obligations and duties hereunder.

The Depositor may, but shall not be obligated to, enforce the obligations of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee under this Agreement.

 

Section 6.4.          Termination of the Special Servicer Without Cause. (a)  At any time (1) prior to the initial Controlling Class Control Period, or (2) after the termination of a Controlling Class Control Period, upon (i) the written direction of Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights of the Certificates requesting a vote to

 

-140-
 

 

terminate and replace the Special Servicer with a proposed successor Special Servicer, (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 and (iii) delivery by such Holders to the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee of a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to the termination of the existing Special Servicer and the replacement thereof with the proposed successor (with the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket costs and expenses associated with obtaining such Rating Agency Confirmation to be an expense of such Holders), the Certificate Administrator shall promptly provide written notice thereof to all Certificateholders by posting such notice on its internet website and by mailing at their addresses appearing in the Certificate Register. Upon the written direction of (a) Holders of Certificates evidencing at least 75% of the Voting Rights of the Certificates or (b) Holders of those Classes of Sequential Pay Certificates evidencing more than 50% of the Voting Rights of each Class of Sequential Pay Certificates, the Trustee shall terminate all of the rights (subject to Section 6.3 of this Agreement) and obligations of the Special Servicer under this Agreement, and the proposed successor Special Servicer shall succeed to the duties of the Special Servicer all as if a removal and replacement were occurring pursuant to Section 7.1 and Section 7.2 of this Agreement; provided that if such written direction is not provided within 180 days of the initial request for a vote to terminate and replace the Special Servicer, then such written direction shall have no force and effect. The provisions set forth in the foregoing sentences of this Section 6.4(a) shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of solely the Certificateholders and the Trustee as between each other. The Special Servicer shall not have any cause of action based upon or arising from any breach or alleged breach of such provisions. As between the Special Servicer, on the one hand, and the Certificateholders, on the other, the Certificateholders shall be entitled in their sole discretion to vote for the termination or not vote for the termination of the Special Servicer.

Upon a termination (pursuant to the prior sentence) or a resignation of the Special Servicer, the Controlling Class Representative shall appoint a successor Special Servicer; provided, however, that (i) such successor will meet the requirements set forth in Section 7.2 of this Agreement and (ii) the Controlling Class Representative shall (at no expense to the Trust) obtain and deliver to the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such proposed successor acting as a Special Servicer.

 

The Certificate Administrator shall include on each Distribution Date Statement a statement that each Certificateholder and Beneficial Owner that are Privileged Persons or Borrower Related Parties that submit Exhibit Y-2 may access notices on the Certificate Administrator’s Website and each Certificateholder and Beneficial Owner that are Privileged Persons or Borrower Related Parties that submit Exhibit Y-2 may register to receive email notifications when such notices are posted on the Certificate Administrator’s Website; provided that the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to reimbursement from the requesting Certificateholders for the reasonable expenses of posting such notices.

 

(b)          The appointment of any such successor Special Servicer shall not relieve the Servicer or the Trustee of their respective obligations to make Advances as set forth herein;

 

-141-
 

 

provided, however, that none of the Trustee, the Servicer (solely in its capacity as Servicer), or the initial Special Servicer specified in Section 3.10(a) of this Agreement shall be liable for any actions or any inaction of such successor Special Servicer. Any termination fee payable to the terminated Special Servicer and any costs incurred by the Trust or the terminated Special Servicer in connection with the replacement of a Special Servicer shall be paid by the Controlling Class Representative or Certificateholders so terminating the Special Servicer and shall not in any event be an expense of the Trust Fund.

 

(c)          No termination of the Special Servicer and appointment of a successor Special Servicer shall be effective until (i) the successor Special Servicer shall have executed and delivered to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator an agreement which contains an assumption by such Person of the due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant and condition to be performed or observed by the Special Servicer under this Agreement from and after the date of such agreement and (ii) subject to Section 10.17 of this Agreement, each Rating Agency has delivered to the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such termination and appointment of a successor.

 

(d)          Any successor Special Servicer shall be deemed to make the representations and warranties provided for in Section 2.5 of this Agreement mutatis mutandis as of the date of its succession.

 

(e)          In the event that the Special Servicer is terminated pursuant to this Section 6.4, the Trustee shall, by notice in writing to the Special Servicer, terminate all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and in and to the Trust Loan and the proceeds thereof, other than any rights the Special Servicer may have hereunder as a Certificateholder and any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such termination (including without limitation the right to receive all amounts accrued or owing to it under this Agreement, plus interest at the Advance Rate on such amounts until received to the extent such amounts bear interest as provided in this Agreement, with respect to periods prior to the date of such termination and the right to the benefits of Section 6.3 of this Agreement and the right to receive ongoing Work-out Fees or Liquidation Fee in accordance with the terms hereof and any indemnification that the Special Servicer is entitled to pursuant to the terms hereof).

 

Section 6.5.          The Controlling Class Representative.

 

(a)          During a Controlling Class Control Period, the Controlling Class Representative shall be entitled to (1) if a Special Servicing Loan Event occurs, advise the Special Servicer and (2) if a Special Servicing Loan Event has not occurred, advise the Special Servicer as to all matters for which the Servicer must obtain the consent or deemed consent of the Special Servicer for a Major Decision. In addition, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, except as set forth in, and in any event subject to Section 6.5(b) and the second and third paragraphs of this Section 6.5(a), both (a) the Servicer shall not be permitted to take any of the actions constituting a Major Decision unless it has obtained the consent of the Special Servicer, who shall have 15 Business Days (or 60 days with respect to the determination of an Acceptable Insurance Default) (from the date that the Special Servicer receives the information from the Servicer) to analyze and make a recommendation regarding such Major Decision (provided that if the Special Servicer does not consent, or notify the Servicer that it will not

 

-142-
 

 

consent, to such Major Decision within the required 15 Business Days or 60 days, as applicable, the Special Servicer shall be deemed to have consented to such Major Decision) and (b) during a Controlling Class Control Period, the Special Servicer shall not be permitted to consent to the Servicer’s taking any of the actions constituting a Major Decision nor will the Special Servicer itself be permitted to take any of the actions constituting a Major Decision as to which the Controlling Class Representative has objected in writing within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the written recommendation and analysis from the Special Servicer; provided that if such written objection has not been received by the Special Servicer within such ten (10) Business Day period or twenty (20) day period, as applicable, then the Controlling Class Representative will be deemed to have approved such action; provided further, that, in the event that the Special Servicer or Servicer (in the event the Servicer is otherwise authorized by this Agreement to take such action), as applicable, determines that immediate action, with respect to a Major Decision, or any other matter requiring consent of the Controlling Class Representative during a Controlling Class Control Period in this Agreement, is necessary to protect the interests of the Certificateholders, the Special Servicer or Servicer, as applicable, may take any such action without waiting for the Controlling Class Representative’s (or, if applicable, the Special Servicer’s) response. The Special Servicer is not required to obtain the consent of the Controlling Class Representative for any Major Decision prior to, or after the termination of, a Controlling Class Control Period; provided however that, following the termination of a Controlling Class Control Period, the Special Servicer shall consult (on a non-binding basis) with the Controlling Class Representative (until the termination of a Controlling Class Consultation Period) and consider alternative actions recommended by the Controlling Class Representative.

 

In addition, during a Controlling Class Control Period, the Controlling Class Representative may direct the Special Servicer to take, or to refrain from taking, such other actions with respect to the Whole Loan as the Controlling Class Representative may reasonably deem advisable or as to which provision is otherwise made herein. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no such direction, and no objection contemplated by the preceding paragraph or this paragraph, may require or cause the Servicer or the Special Servicer to violate any provision of the Loan Documents, the Co-Lender Agreement (including the provisions regarding certain consultation rights with the Companion Loan Holders), applicable law or this Agreement, including without limitation each of the Servicer’s and the Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices, or expose the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trust Fund or the Trustee to liability, or materially expand the scope of the Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s responsibilities hereunder or cause the Servicer or the Special Servicer to act, or fail to act, in a manner which in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer or the Special Servicer is not in the best interests of the Certificateholders.

 

In the event the Special Servicer or Servicer, as applicable, determines that a refusal to consent by the Controlling Class Representative or any advice from the Controlling Class Representative would otherwise cause the Special Servicer or Servicer, as applicable, to violate the terms of the Loan Documents, the provisions of the Code resulting in an Adverse REMIC Event, applicable law or this Agreement, including without limitation, Accepted Servicing Practices, the Special Servicer or Servicer, as applicable, shall disregard such refusal to consent or advise and notify the Controlling Class Representative, the Trustee and, subject to Section 10.17 of this Agreement, the Rating Agencies of its determination, including a

 

-143-
 

 

reasonably detailed explanation of the basis therefor. The taking of, or refraining from taking, any action by the Servicer or Special Servicer in accordance with the direction of or approval of the Controlling Class Representative that does not violate any law or Accepted Servicing Practices or any other provisions of this Agreement, will not result in any liability on the part of the Servicer or the Special Servicer.

 

The Controlling Class Representative shall have no liability to the Trust Fund, the Certificateholders or the Companion Loan Holders for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action, pursuant to this Agreement, or for error in judgment; provided, however, that the Controlling Class Representative will not be protected against any liability to any Controlling Class Certificateholder that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of negligent disregard of obligations or duties.

 

By its acceptance of a Certificate, each Certificateholder acknowledges and agrees, by its acceptance of its Certificates, that: (i) the Controlling Class Representative may have special relationships and interests that conflict with those of Holders of one or more Classes of Certificates; (ii) the Controlling Class Representative may act solely in the interests of the Holders of the Controlling Class; (iii) the Controlling Class Representative does not have any liability or duties to the Holders of any Class of Certificates other than the Controlling Class; (iv) the Controlling Class Representative may take actions that favor interests of the Holders of the Controlling Class over the interests of the Holders of one or more other Classes of Certificates; and (v) the Controlling Class Representative shall have no liability whatsoever (other than to a Controlling Class Certificateholder) for having so acted as set forth in clauses (i)-(iv) of this paragraph, and no Certificateholder may take any action whatsoever against the Controlling Class Representative or any affiliate, director, member, officer, employee, shareholder, member, partner, agent or principal thereof for having so acted.

 

(b)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein: (i) following the termination of a Controlling Class Control Period, the Controlling Class Representative shall have no right to consent to any action taken or not taken by any party to this Agreement; (ii) during a Controlling Class Consultation Period, the Controlling Class Representative shall remain entitled to receive any notices, reports or information to which it is entitled pursuant to this Agreement, and the Special Servicer shall consult with the Controlling Class Representative in connection with any action to be taken or refrained from taking to the extent set forth herein; and (iii) following the termination of a Controlling Class Consultation Period, the Controlling Class Representative shall have no consultation or consent rights hereunder 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 Controlling Class Representative. In the event that no Controlling Class Representative has been appointed or identified to the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, has attempted to obtain such information from the Certificate Administrator, then the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall have no duty to consult with, provide notice to, or seek the approval or consent of any such Controlling Class Representative.

 

(c)          Each Certificateholder and Beneficial Owner of a Class D Certificate is hereby deemed to have agreed by virtue of its purchase of such Certificate (or beneficial

 

-144-
 

 

ownership interest in such Certificate) to provide its name and address to the Certificate Administrator and to notify the Certificate Administrator of the transfer of any Class D Certificate (or the beneficial ownership of any Class D Certificate), the selection of a Controlling Class Representative or the resignation or removal thereof. Any such Certificateholder (or Beneficial Owner) or its designee at any time appointed Controlling Class Representative is hereby deemed to have agreed by virtue of its purchase of a Class D Certificate (or the beneficial ownership interest in a Class D Certificate) to notify the Certificate Administrator when such Certificateholder (or Beneficial Owner) or designee is appointed Controlling Class Representative and when it is removed or resigns.

(e)          Immediately upon obtaining actual knowledge that the Controlling Class Certificateholder or Controlling Class Representative is a Borrower Affiliate, any Certificateholder, a Companion Loan Holder, the Controlling Class Representative if the Controlling Class Representative is not a Certificateholder (and only during a Controlling Class Control Period and Controlling Class Consultation Period), a Beneficial Owner or a prospective purchaser of a Certificate (or any investment manager of the foregoing), as the case may be, shall provide notice in the form of Exhibit Y-3 hereto to the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee

Section 6.6.          Servicer and Special Servicer Not to Resign. (a)  Each of the Servicer and Special Servicer may resign and assign its respective rights and delegate its duties and obligations under this Agreement to any Person or to an entity, provided that:

(d)          In the event that the Servicer or Special Servicer is terminated pursuant to this Section 7.1, the Trustee (the “Terminating Party”) shall, by notice in writing to the Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be (the “Terminated Party”) (with a copy to the Loan Borrowers), terminate all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and in and to the Whole Loan and the proceeds thereof, other than any rights the Terminated Party may have hereunder as a Certificateholder and any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such termination (including the right to receive all amounts accrued or owing to it under this Agreement with respect to periods prior to the date of such termination and the right to the benefits of Section 6.3 notwithstanding any such termination). On or after the receipt by the Terminated Party of such written notice, subject to the foregoing, all of its authority and power under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Certificates (except that the Terminated Party shall retain its rights as a Certificateholder in the event and to the extent that it is a Certificateholder) or the Whole Loan or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the Terminating Party pursuant to and under this Section 7.1 and, without limitation, the Terminating Party is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of and at the expense of the Terminated Party, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Trust Loan and related documents, or otherwise. The Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, each agrees that, in the event it is terminated pursuant to this Section 7.1, or resigns under Section 6.6(b), to promptly (and in any event no later than ten Business Days subsequent to such notice) provide, at its own expense, the Terminating Party (which term shall include for the purposes of the remainder of this Section 7.1(d), the Trustee (or a successor Servicer or Special Servicer) in connection with a resignation of the Servicer or the Special Servicer under Section 6.6(b)) with all documents and records requested by the Terminating Party to enable the Terminating Party to assume its functions hereunder, and to cooperate with the Terminating Party and the successor to its responsibilities hereunder in effecting the termination of its responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to the successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, or the Terminating Party, as applicable, for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be or should have been credited by the Terminated Party (which term shall include, for the purposes of the remainder of this Section 7.1(d), the resigning party in connection with a resignation of the Servicer or the Special Servicer under Section 6.6(b)) to the Collection Account, any Foreclosed Property Account or shall thereafter be received with respect to the Whole Loan, and shall promptly provide the Terminating Party or such successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable (which may include the Trustee), all documents and records reasonably requested by it, such documents and records to be provided in such form as the Terminating Party or such successor Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall reasonably request (including electromagnetic form), to enable it to assume the function of the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder. All reasonable costs and expenses of the Terminating Party or the successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, incurred in connection with transferring the Mortgage File to the Terminating Party or to the successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, and amending this Agreement to reflect such succession pursuant to this Section 7.1 shall be paid by the Terminated Party upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses. If the Terminated Party has not reimbursed the Terminating Party or such successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, for such expenses within 90 days after the presentation of

 

-151-
 

 

reasonable documentation, such expense shall be reimbursed by the Trust pursuant to Section 3.4(c); provided that the Terminated Party shall not thereby be relieved of its liability for such expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Special Servicer is terminated without cause pursuant to Section 6.4, all costs and expenses incurred or payable by the terminated Special Servicer under this Section 7.1 shall be paid by the Trust Fund.

 

(e)          Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Depositor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to notify the Trustee of any Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event of which the Depositor becomes aware. In no event shall the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator be deemed to have knowledge of or be aware of any Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable has received written notice thereof or has actual knowledge thereof.

 

Section 7.2.          Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor. (a) On and after the time the Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.1, or resigns pursuant to Section 6.6(b), the Terminating Party (which term shall include, for the purposes of the remainder of this Section 7.2, the Trustee (or a successor Servicer or Special Servicer including a successor appointed under Section 6.4(a)) in connection with a resignation of the Servicer or the Special Servicer under Section 6.6(b)) shall, unless prohibited by law, be the successor to the Terminated Party (which term shall include, for the purposes of the remainder of this Section 7.2, the resigning party in connection with a resignation of the Servicer of the Special Servicer under Section 6.6(b)) in all respects under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and, except as provided herein, shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties, limitations on liability and liabilities relating thereto and arising thereafter placed on the Terminated Party by the terms and provisions hereof; provided, however, that (i) neither the Trustee nor the Terminating Party (or any successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be) shall have responsibilities, duties, liabilities or obligations with respect to any act or omission of the Terminated Party and (ii) any failure to perform, or delay in performing, such duties or responsibilities caused by the Terminated Party’s failure to provide, or delay in providing, records, tapes, disks, information or monies or failure to cooperate as required by this Agreement shall not be considered a default by the Terminating Party or such successor hereunder. The Trustee, as successor Servicer, and any other successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall be indemnified to the full extent provided to the Trustee under this Agreement. The appointment of a successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall not affect any liability of the Terminated Party that may have arisen prior to its termination as such. The Terminating Party shall not be liable for any of the representations and warranties of the Terminated Party herein or in any related document or agreement, for any acts or omissions of the Terminated Party or for any losses incurred in respect of any Permitted Investment by the Terminated Party nor shall the Terminating Party or any successor Servicer or Special Servicer be required to purchase the Whole Loan hereunder. As compensation therefor, the Terminating Party as successor Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall be entitled to all compensation with respect to the Whole Loan to which the Terminated Party would have been entitled that accrues after the date of the Terminating Party’s succession to which the Terminated Party would have been entitled if it had continued to act hereunder and, in the case of a successor Special Servicer, the Special Servicing Fee. Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to so act, or shall, if it is

 

-152-
 

 

unable to so act, or if the Holders of Certificates having greater than 25% of the aggregate Voting Rights of all then outstanding Certificates so request in writing to the Trustee, or the Trustee is not approved by the Rating Agencies as a Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, as evidenced by a Rating Agency Confirmation, or if the Rating Agencies do not provide written confirmation that the succession of the Trustee as Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, will not cause a downgrade, qualification or withdrawal of the then current ratings of the Certificates, promptly appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, any established loan servicing institution reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee the appointment for which a Rating Agency Confirmation is obtained, as the successor to the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, hereunder; provided that during a Controlling Class Control Period, the Controlling Class Representative shall have the right to approve any such successor Special Servicer. No appointment of a successor to a Terminated Party hereunder shall be effective until the assumption by such successor of all the Terminated Party’s responsibilities, duties and liabilities hereunder. Pending appointment of a successor to a Terminated Party hereunder, unless the Trustee shall be prohibited by law from so acting, the Trustee shall act in the applicable capacity as herein above provided. In connection with such appointment and assumption described herein, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on the Whole Loan as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such compensation shall be in excess of that permitted to the Terminated Party hereunder, except that if no successor to the Terminated Party can be obtained to perform the obligations of such Terminated Party hereunder, additional amounts shall be paid to such successor and such amounts in excess of that permitted to the Terminated Party shall be paid pursuant to Section 3.4(c); provided, further; that, during a Controlling Class Control Period and Controlling Class Consultation Period, the Trustee shall consult with the Controlling Class Representative (on a non-binding basis) prior to the appointment of a successor to the Terminated Party at such amounts in excess of that permitted the Terminated Party. The Depositor, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Servicer (as applicable), the Special Servicer (as applicable) and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.

 

(b)          Notwithstanding Section 7.1(c), Section 7.1(d) or Section 7.2(a), if a Servicer receives a notice of termination solely due to a Servicer Termination Event under Sections 7.1(vii), (viii) or (ix) and the terminated Servicer provides the Trustee with the appropriate “request for proposal” materials within five (5) Business Days after such termination, then such Servicer shall continue to serve as Servicer, and the Trustee shall promptly thereafter (using such “request for proposal” materials provided by the terminated Servicer) solicit good faith bids for the rights to master service the Whole Loan from at least three (3) Persons qualified to act as successor Servicer hereunder in accordance with Section 7.2 for which the Trustee has received Rating Agency Confirmation (any such Person so qualified, a “Qualified Bidder”) or, if three (3) Qualified Bidders cannot be located, then from as many Persons as are Qualified Bidders; provided, however, that (i) the terminated Servicer shall supply the Trustee with the names of Persons who are Qualified Bidders (subject to receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation) from whom to solicit such bids; and (ii) the Trustee shall not be responsible if less than three (3) or no Qualified Bidders submit bids for the right to master service the Trust Loan under this Agreement. The bid proposal shall require any Successful Bidder (as defined below), as a condition of such bid, to enter into this Agreement as successor

 

-153-
 

 

Servicer with respect to the Whole Loan, and to agree to be bound by the terms hereof, within forty-five (45) days after the receipt by the terminated Servicer of a notice of termination. The Trustee shall solicit bids (i) on the basis of such successor Servicer entering into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with the terminated Servicer to service the Whole Loan at a sub-servicing fee rate per annum equal to 0.0010% (each, a “Servicing-Retained Bid”) and (ii) on the basis of having no obligation to enter into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with the terminated Servicer (each, a “Servicing-Released Bid”). The Trustee shall select the Qualified Bidder with the highest cash Servicing-Retained Bid (or, if none, the highest cash Servicing Released Bid) (the “Successful Bidder”) to act as successor Servicer hereunder. The Trustee shall request the Successful Bidder to enter into this Agreement as successor Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof (and, if the successful bid was a Servicing-Retained Bid, to enter into a Sub-Servicing Agreement with the terminated Servicer as contemplated above), no later than forty-five (45) days after the termination of the terminated Servicer. Upon the assignment and acceptance of the servicing rights hereunder to and by the Successful Bidder, the Trustee shall remit or cause to be remitted to the terminated Servicer the amount of such cash bid received from the Successful Bidder (net of reasonable “out of pocket” expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with obtaining such bid and transferring servicing).

 

Section 7.3.          Notification to Certificateholders, the Depositor and the Rating Agencies.

 

(a)          Upon any termination of the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 7.1 or appointment of a successor to the Servicer or Special Servicer, as the case may be, the Certificate Administrator shall, as soon as practicable, give written notice thereof to Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate Register and to the Depositor and, subject to Section 10.17, to the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post it to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website, pursuant to Section 10.16).

 

(b)          Within 30 days after the occurrence of any Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event of which a Responsible Officer of the Certificate Administrator has actual knowledge, the Certificate Administrator shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Certificates and to the Depositor and, subject to Section 10.17, the 17g-5 Information Provider (who shall promptly post it to the 17g-5 Information Provider’s Website, pursuant to Section 10.16) notice of such Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event, as the case may be, unless such Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event or shall have been cured or waived.

 

Section 7.4.          Other Remedies of Trustee. During the continuance of any Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event, as the case may be, or so long as such Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event shall not have been remedied, the Trustee, in addition to the rights specified in Section 7.1, shall have the right, in its own name as trustee of an express trust, to take all actions now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute to enforce its rights and remedies and to protect the interests, and enforce the rights and remedies, of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders (including the institution and prosecution of all judicial, administrative and other proceedings and the filing of proofs of claim and debt in connection therewith). In such event, the legal fees, expenses and

 

-154-
 

 

costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust, and the Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor pursuant to Section 3.4(c) from the Collection Account. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no remedy provided for by this Agreement shall be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy and no delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy shall impair any such right or remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event.

 

Section 7.5.          Waiver of Past Servicer Termination Events and Special Servicer Termination Events. The Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 66-2/3% of the aggregate Voting Rights of all then-outstanding Certificates and each affected Companion Loan Holder may, on behalf of all Certificateholders and upon adequate indemnification of the Trustee by the requesting Holders of Certificates, waive any default by the Servicer or the Special Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences, except a default in making any required deposits (including Monthly Payment Advances) to or payments from the Collection Account, the Distribution Account or any Foreclosed Property Account or in remitting payments as received, in each case in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and the related Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right related thereto.

 

Section 7.6.          Trustee as Maker of Advances. In the event that the Servicer fails to fulfill its obligations hereunder to make any Advances, the Trustee shall perform such obligations (w) within five Business Days (or such shorter period (but not less than one Business Day) as may be required, if applicable, to avoid any lapse in insurance coverage required under the Loan Documents or this Agreement with respect to the Properties or to avoid any foreclosure or similar action with respect to the Properties by reason of failure to pay real estate taxes, assessments or governmental charges) of a Responsible Officer of the Trustee obtaining knowledge of such failure by the Servicer or the Special Servicer with respect to Property Protection Advances and Administrative Advances and (x) by 12:00 noon New York time on the related Distribution Date with respect to Monthly Payment Advances. With respect to any such Advance made by the Trustee, the Trustee shall succeed to all of the Servicer’s and/or the Special Servicer’s rights, as applicable, with respect to Advances hereunder, including, without limitation, the rights of reimbursement and interest on each Advance at the Advance Rate, and rights to determine that a proposed Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance (without regard to any impairment of any such rights of reimbursement caused by such Servicer’s and/or the Special Servicer’s default in its obligations hereunder and further subject to the Trustee’s standard of good faith judgment); provided, however, that if Advances made by the Trustee, the Servicer and/or the Special Servicer shall at any time be outstanding, or any interest on any Advance shall be accrued and unpaid, all amounts available to repay such Advances and the interest thereon hereunder shall be applied entirely to the Advances outstanding to the Trustee until such Advances shall have been repaid in full, together with all interest accrued thereon, prior to reimbursement of the Servicer and/or the Special Servicer, as applicable, for such Advances and interest accrued thereon. The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any notice given by the Servicer and/or the Special Servicer, as applicable, with respect to a Nonrecoverable Advance hereunder.

THE TRUSTEE AND CERTIFICATE ADMINISTRATOR

 

Section 8.1.          Duties of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator. (a)  Each of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, and with respect to the Trustee prior to the occurrence of a Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event, as the case may be, and after the curing or waiver of any Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event that may have occurred, undertakes with respect to the Trust Fund to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. Neither the Depositor nor the Servicer nor the Special Servicer shall be obligated to monitor or supervise the performance by the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator of its duties hereunder. In case a Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event has occurred (which has not been cured or waived), the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 7.3, shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and shall use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent institution would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such institution’s own affairs. Any permissive right of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator set forth in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty. The Trustee (or the Servicer or the Special Servicer on its behalf) shall have the power to exercise all the rights of a holder of the Whole Loan on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders (or, if a Companion Loan Holder is an Other Securitization Trust, the related Other Depositor or Other Trustee), subject to the terms of the Loan Documents and the Co-Lender Agreement.

 

(b)          Subject to Sections 8.2(a) and 8.3, each of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator that are specifically required to be furnished to such Person pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, shall examine, or cause to be examined, such instruments to determine whether they conform to the requirements of this Agreement to the extent specifically set forth herein. If any such instrument is found on its face not to conform to the requirements of this Agreement in a material manner, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, shall make a request to the Depositor to have the instrument corrected, and if the instrument is not corrected to the Trustee’s or the Certificate Administrator’s reasonable satisfaction, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator shall provide notice thereof to the Certificateholders. Neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be responsible for the accuracy or content of any resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report, document, order or other instrument furnished by the Depositor, the Servicer, or the Special Servicer and accepted by the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, in good faith, pursuant to this Agreement.

 

-156-
 

 

(c)          Subject to Section 8.3, no provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, its own willful misconduct or bad faith, provided, however, that:

 

(i)           no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator and each of the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator may request and conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and/or the Certificate Administrator (including those provided pursuant to Section 10.1) and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement which it reasonably believes in good faith to be genuine and to have been duly executed by the proper authorities respecting any matters arising hereunder;

 

(ii)          the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall not be liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator such Responsible Officer, as applicable, was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

 

(iii)         the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall not be liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with this Agreement or at the direction of Holders of Certificates evidencing, in the aggregate, not less than 25% of the Voting Rights of the Certificates, relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, under this Agreement;

 

(iv)         for all purposes under this Agreement, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall not be charged with knowledge of any failure by the Servicer or the Special Servicer to comply with any of their respective obligations referred to in Section 7.1 or any other act, breach or failure of any Person, or circumstance upon the occurrence of which the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, may be required to take action unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, obtains actual knowledge of such failure, act or circumstance or the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, receives written notice, pursuant to Section 10.4, of such failure from the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, the Loan Borrowers or Holders of the Certificates evidencing, in the aggregate, not less than 25% of the Voting Rights of the Certificates.

 

(v)          subject to the other provisions of this Agreement and without limiting the generality of Sections 8.1 and 8.2, the Trustee shall have no duty except in the capacity as a successor Servicer or successor Special Servicer (A) to see to any recording, filing or depositing of this Agreement or any agreement referred to herein or any financing statement or continuation statement evidencing a security interest, or to see to the maintenance of any such recording or filing or depositing or to any re-recording, re-filing or redepositing thereof (except as set forth in Section 2.1(b)), (B) to see to any insurance, and (C) to confirm or verify the contents of any reports or certificates of the Servicer or

the Special Servicer delivered to the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator pursuant to this Agreement reasonably believed by the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties; and

 

(vi)          for all purposes under this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be required to take any action with respect to, and neither the Certificate Administrator or Trustee shall be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any Loan Event of Default, Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as applicable, has actual knowledge thereof or shall have received written notice thereof. In the absence of receipt of such notice and such actual knowledge otherwise obtained, the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator may conclusively assume that there is no Loan Event of Default, Servicer Termination Event or Special Servicer Termination Event.

 

(d)          None of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator to (i) expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers hereunder if there are reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it, or (ii) perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of the Servicer or the Special Servicer under this Agreement, except with respect to the Trustee, during such time, if any, as the Trustee shall be the successor to, and be vested with the rights, duties, powers and privileges of, the Servicer or the Special Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be responsible or have liability in connection with the duties assumed by the Authenticating Agent, and the Certificate Registrar hereunder, unless the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator is acting in any such capacity hereunder; provided, further, that in any such capacity the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall have all of the rights, protections and indemnities provided to it as Trustee and the Certificate Administrator hereunder, as applicable.

 

In no event shall the Certificate Administrator or Trustee be liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder because of circumstances beyond the Certificate Administrator’s or Trustee’s control, including, but not limited to force majeure or acts of God.

 

(e)          The Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee may at any time request from the Certificate Administrator written confirmation of whether a Control Termination Event occurred during the previous calendar year and the Certificate Administrator shall deliver such confirmation, based on information in its possession, to the requesting party within fifteen (15) days of such request.

 

(f)          The Certificate Administrator’s authority under this Agreement includes the authority to make, and the Certificate Administrator is hereby directed to make, any elections allowed under the Code (i) to avoid the application of Section 6221 (or successor provisions) to any REMIC and (ii) to avoid payment by any REMIC under Section 6226 (or successor provisions) of any tax, penalty, interest or other amount imposed under the Code that would

 

-158-
 

 

otherwise be imposed on any Holder of any Residual Ownership Interest of any REMIC, past or present. A Holder of any Residual Ownership Interest in any REMIC agrees, by acquiring such interest, to any such elections and to the Certificate Administrator’s acting as agent for any tax matters person or other representative of a REMIC that can be designated under the Code.

 

(g)          Knowledge by the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator in one capacity shall not be deemed knowledge in any other capacity.

The Trustee and the Certificate Administrator shall provide the Servicer with an invoice, on or prior to each Payment Date, setting forth the actual expenses incurred in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder for which it seeks payment or reimbursement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, neither the Trustee nor the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Trust for an expense incurred under this Agreement in connection with the performance of its ordinary and regularly recurring duties hereunder unless such reimbursement is expressly provided for herein or otherwise permitted hereunder.

If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 8.11 the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If, at any time, an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.11, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section 8.11.

Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.11, the Certificate Administrator may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent and shall mail written notice of such appointment by first class mail, postage prepaid to all Certificateholders as their names and addresses appear in the Certificate Register. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent herein.

Among its other duties, the Certificate Administrator shall provide (i) to the IRS or other Persons (including, but not limited to, the transferor of a Class R Certificate to a Disqualified Organization or to an agent that has acquired a Class R Certificate on behalf of a Disqualified Organization) such information as is necessary for the application of any tax relating to the transfer of a Class R Certificate to any Disqualified Organization and (ii) to the Certificateholders such information or reports as are required by the Code or REMIC Provisions. The Depositor shall provide on a timely basis (and in no event later than 30 days after the Certificate Administrator’s request) to the Certificate Administrator or its designee such information with respect to each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC as is in its possession and is reasonably requested in writing by the Certificate Administrator to enable it to perform its obligations under this subsection.

 

(h)          The Holder of the Class R Certificates holding the largest Percentage Interest therein shall be the Tax Matters Person of the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC, pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.860F-4(d). The duties of the Tax Matters Persons for the Upper-Tier REMIC and the Lower-Tier REMIC are hereby delegated to the Certificate Administrator as agent for the related Tax Matters Person, and the Class R Certificateholders, by acceptance of the Class R Certificates, agree, on behalf of themselves and all successor holders of such Class R Certificates, to such delegation to the Certificate Administrator as its agent and attorney in fact.

 

(i)           The Certificate Administrator, the Holders of the Class R Certificates, the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall perform their obligations under this Agreement and the REMIC Provisions in a manner consistent with the status of each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC as a REMIC.

 

(j)           The Certificate Administrator, any Holder of the Class R Certificates, the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall not take any action or cause either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to take any action, within their respective control and the scope of their specific respective duties under this Agreement that, under the REMIC Provisions, could reasonably be expected to (i) endanger the status of either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) unless permitted under Section 12.2(a), result in the imposition of a tax upon either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on prohibited contributions as defined in Section 860G(d)) of the Code (any such result in clause (i) or (ii), an “Adverse REMIC Event”) unless (A) the Certificate Administrator and the Servicer have received a Nondisqualification Opinion (at the expense of the party seeking to take

 

-208-
 

 

such action or of the Trust Fund if taken for the benefit of the Certificateholders) with respect to such action or (B) the Certificate Administrator and the Servicer have received an opinion (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action or of the Trust Fund if taken for the benefit of the Certificateholders) to the effect that such action will not cause either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC and that no tax will actually be imposed.

 

(k)          Any and all federal, state and local taxes imposed on the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC or its assets or transactions, including, without limitation, “prohibited transaction” taxes as defined in Section 860F of the Code, and any tax on contributions imposed by Section 860G(d) of the Code, shall be paid from the Collection Account; provided that the Servicer, upon two (2) days prior written notice, shall remit from the Collection Account to the Certificate Administrator the amount of any such tax that the Certificate Administrator notifies the Servicer is due; provided, further, if such taxes shall have been imposed on account of the willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence of any party hereto, or in connection with the breach of any representation or warranty made by any party hereto in this Agreement, then such taxes shall be paid by such party.

 

(l)           The Certificate Administrator shall, for federal income tax purposes, maintain books and records with respect to the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC on a calendar year and on an accrual basis. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Loan Documents (but subject to Section 1.3), all amounts collected on the Trust Loan shall, for federal income tax purposes, be allocated first to interest due and payable on the Trust Loan (including interest on overdue interest) other than Default Interest. The books and records must be sufficient concerning the nature and amount of the investments of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC to show that such REMIC has complied with the REMIC Provisions.

 

(m)         None of the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Servicer or the Special Servicer shall enter into any arrangement by which either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC will receive a fee or other compensation for services.

 

(n)          In order to enable the Certificate Administrator to perform its duties as set forth herein, the Depositor shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Certificate Administrator within ten (10) days after the Closing Date, all information or data that the Certificate Administrator reasonably determines to be relevant for tax purposes on the valuations and offering prices of the Certificates, including, without limitation, the yield, issue prices, pricing prepayment assumption and projected cash flows of the Regular Certificates and the Class R Certificates, as applicable, and the projected cash flows on the Trust Loan. Thereafter, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Servicer and the Special Servicer shall provide to the Certificate Administrator, promptly upon request therefor, any such additional information or data that the Certificate Administrator may, from time to time, reasonably request in order to enable the Certificate Administrator to perform its duties as set forth herein. The Certificate Administrator is hereby directed to use any and all such information or data provided by the Trustee, the Depositor, the Servicer and the Special Servicer in the preparation of all federal, state or local income, franchise or other tax and information returns and reports for each of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC to Certificateholders as required herein. The Depositor hereby indemnifies the Certificate Administrator for any losses, liabilities, damages, claims or

 

-209-
 

 

expenses of the Certificate Administrator arising from any errors or miscalculations of the Certificate Administrator pursuant to this Section 12.1 that result from any failure of the Depositor to provide or to cause to be provided, accurate information or data to the Certificate Administrator (but not resulting from the methodology employed by the Certificate Administrator) on a timely basis and such indemnifications shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the termination of the Certificate Administrator.

 

The Certificate Administrator agrees that all such information or data so obtained by it shall be regarded as confidential information and agrees that it shall use its best reasonable efforts to retain in confidence, and shall ensure that its officers, employees and representatives retain in confidence, and shall not disclose, without the prior written consent of the Depositor, any or all of such information or data, or make any use whatsoever (other than for the purposes contemplated by this Agreement) of any such information or data without the prior written consent of the Depositor, unless such information is generally available to the public (other than as a result of a breach of this Section 12.1) or is required by law or applicable regulations to be disclosed.

 

Section 12.2.          Foreclosed Property. (a)  The parties hereto acknowledge and understand that if the Trust Fund were to acquire a Property as Foreclosed Property and were to own and operate that Property in a manner consistent with the manner in which such Property is currently owned and operated by the related Loan Borrower, through a Successor Manager, some portion or all of the income derived in the Lower-Tier REMIC from such Foreclosed Property may be considered “net income from foreclosure property” for purposes of Section 860G(c) of the Code and subject to tax at normal corporate income tax rates.

 

In determining whether to acquire and hold any Foreclosed Property, the Special Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee hereunder, shall take these circumstances into account and shall only acquire such Foreclosed Property if it determines, in its reasonable judgment (after, consultation with counsel, at the expense of the Trust Fund), that either (i) there is a commercially feasible alternative method of administering such Foreclosed Property that would not result in such tax, e.g., a net lease that results in Rents from Real Property or (ii) the likely recovery with respect to operating such Foreclosed Property on behalf of the Trust Fund and the Companion Loan Holders, after taking into account any such taxes that might be imposed on either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC, will exceed the likely recovery to the Trust Fund if the Trust Fund were to net lease such Foreclosed Property or were not to acquire and hold such Foreclosed Property. If the Trust Fund acquires any Foreclosed Property, the Special Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee, if the Manager would not be considered an Independent Contractor, shall either renegotiate the applicable Management Agreement or replace the Manager with a Successor Manager (as appropriate and to the extent permitted under such Management Agreement) so that such Foreclosed Property would be considered to be operated by an Independent Contractor. If, after making the foregoing reasonable efforts, the Special Servicer determines that it is in the best interests of Certificateholders and the Companion Loan Holders on a net after-tax basis to operate such Foreclosed Property in a manner such that the Lower-Tier REMIC or Upper-Tier REMIC shall receive, based upon an Opinion of Counsel, “net income from foreclosure property” under the REMIC Provisions, the Special Servicer shall maintain or cause to be maintained such records of income and expense as to enable such amounts to be computed accurately, and shall pay or retain or cause to be paid or

 

-210-
 

 

retained from Foreclosure Proceeds such amounts as are necessary to pay such tax or, to the extent such amounts are insufficient, from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.4.

 

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Special Servicer shall not, to the extent within its power:

 

(i)           permit the Trust Fund to enter into, renew or extend any New Lease with respect to a Foreclosed Property, if the New Lease by its terms will give rise to any income that does not constitute Rents from Real Property;

 

(ii)          permit any amount to be received or accrued under any New Lease other than amounts that will constitute Rents from Real Property;

 

(iii)         authorize or permit any construction on a Foreclosed Property, other than the completion of a building or other improvement thereon, and then only if more than 10% of the construction of such building or other improvements was completed before default on the Trust Loan became imminent, all within the meaning of Section 856(e)(4)(B) of the Code; or

 

(iv)         Directly Operate, other than through an Independent Contractor, or allow any other Person to Directly Operate, other than through an Independent Contractor, a Foreclosed Property on any date more than ninety (90) days after its acquisition date.

 

(b)          The Special Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee hereunder, shall make reasonable efforts to sell any Foreclosed Property for its fair market value in accordance with Section 3.15. In any event, however, the Special Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee hereunder, shall dispose of any Foreclosed Property as soon as is practicable but in no event later than the close of the third calendar year following the year in which the Acquisition Date occurs unless the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, has received (or has not been denied) an extension of time (an “Extension”) by the IRS to sell such Foreclosed Property or an opinion of counsel to the effect that the holding by the Trust of such Foreclosed Property for an additional specified period will neither result in the imposition of taxes on “prohibited transactions” of the Trust Fund as defined in Section 860F of the Code, nor cause the Upper-Tier REMIC or the Lower-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Certificates are outstanding, in which event such period shall be extended by such additional specified period, with the expenses of obtaining any such extension of time being an expense of the Trust Fund. If the Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, has received (or has not been denied) such Extension, then the Special Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee hereunder, shall continue to attempt to sell such Foreclosed Property for its fair market value for such longer period as such Extension permits (the “Extended Period”). If the Special Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee, has not received such an Extension and the Special Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee hereunder, is unable to sell such Foreclosed Property, within the foregoing period or if the Special Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee hereunder, has received such an Extension, and the Special Servicer, acting on behalf of the Trustee hereunder, is unable to sell such Foreclosed Property within the Extended Period, the Special Servicer shall, before the end of the above-referenced period or the Extended Period, as the case may be, auction such Foreclosed Property to the highest bidder (which may be the Special Servicer) in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices.

 

-211-
 

 

(c)          Within thirty (30) days of the sale of a Foreclosed Property, the Special Servicer shall provide to each of the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee a statement of accounting for such Foreclosed Property, including, without limitation, (i) the date the related Property was acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, (ii) the date of disposition of such Foreclosed Property, (iii) the gross sale price and related selling and other expenses, (iv) accrued interest calculated from the date of acquisition to the disposition date, and (v) such other information as the Certificate Administrator and/or Trustee may reasonably request.

 

Section 12.3.          Prohibited Transactions and Activities. The Special Servicer, on behalf of the Trust Fund, shall not permit the sale or disposition of the Trust Loan at a time when the Trust Loan is not the subject of a breach of a representation or is not in default or default with respect thereto is not reasonably foreseeable (except in a disposition pursuant to (i) the bankruptcy or insolvency of the Lower-Tier REMIC or (ii) the termination of the Lower-Tier REMIC in a “qualified liquidation” as defined in Section 860F(a)(4) of the Code), nor acquire any assets for either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC (other than Foreclosed Property), nor sell or dispose of any investments in the Collection Account or Distribution Account for gain, nor receive any amount representing a fee or other compensation for services, nor accept any contributions to either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC (other than a cash contribution during the three-month period beginning on the Startup Day), unless it has received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the Person requesting it to take such action) to the effect that such disposition, acquisition, substitution or acceptance will not (a) affect adversely the status of either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC as a REMIC, or of the Certificates as representing regular interests therein, (b) affect the distribution of interest or principal on the Certificates, (c) result in the encumbrance of the assets transferred or assigned to either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC (except pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement), or (d) cause either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to be subject to a tax on “prohibited transactions” or “prohibited contributions” pursuant to the REMIC Provisions.

 

Section 12.4.          Indemnification with Respect to Certain Taxes and Loss of REMIC Status. (a)  If either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC fails to qualify as a REMIC, loses its status as a REMIC, or incurs state or local taxes, or a tax as a result of a prohibited transaction or contribution subject to taxation under the REMIC Provisions due to the willful misconduct, bad faith or negligent performance by the Certificate Administrator of its duties and obligations specifically set forth herein, or by reason of the Certificate Administrator’s negligent disregard of its obligations and duties thereunder, the Certificate Administrator shall indemnify the Trust against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (“Losses”) resulting therefrom; provided, however, the Certificate Administrator shall not be liable for any such Losses attributable to the action or inaction of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Depositor, or the Holders of the Class R Certificates nor for any such Losses resulting from misinformation provided by the Holders of the Class R Certificates, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, or the Depositor, on which the Certificate Administrator has relied. The foregoing shall not be deemed to limit or restrict the rights and remedies of successor Holders of the Class R Certificates at law or in equity.

 

If either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC fails to qualify as a REMIC, loses its status as a REMIC, or incurs state or local taxes, or a tax as a result of a

 

-212-
 

 

prohibited transaction or contribution subject to taxation under the REMIC Provisions due to the willful misconduct, bad faith or negligent performance of the Servicer or the Special Servicer in the performance of its duties and obligations set forth herein, or by reason of the Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s negligent disregard of its obligations and duties thereunder, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall indemnify the Trust Fund against any and all losses resulting therefrom; provided, however, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, shall not be liable for any such losses attributable to the action or inaction of the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Holders of the Class R Certificates nor for any such losses resulting from misinformation provided by the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor or the Holders of the Class R Certificates on which the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, has relied. The foregoing shall not be deemed to limit or restrict the rights and remedies of any successor Holders of the Class R Certificates at law or in equity.

Exhibit A-1-4
 

 

Class A Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Trust and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

 

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Trust and Servicing Agreement, dated as of December 15, 2015 (the “Trust and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Securities Corp., as Depositor, KeyBank National Association, as Servicer, AEGON USA Realty Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Trust and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute, on the 4th Business Day after each Determination Date, commencing in January 2016 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the month preceding the calendar month in which the applicable Distribution Date occurs, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest, any Yield Maintenance Premiums then distributable, if any, and any other amounts distributable to the Class A Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

 

All distributions will be made to the Persons entitled thereto by check mailed by first class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that the Certificate Administrator has received appropriate wire transfer instructions, at least five Business Days prior to the related Distribution Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the location that is specified by the Certificate Administrator in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

 

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Trust Loan, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Trust and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Trust and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator.

 

As provided in the Trust and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the

 

Exhibit A-1-5
 

 

Certificate Registrar shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.

 

Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Trust and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

 

The Trust and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or Companion Loan Holders, in certain circumstances specified in the Trust and Servicing Agreement. The Trust and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee with the written consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class adversely affected by such amendment evidencing, in each case, not less than 51% 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 Trust and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Certificates, except that the amendment may not (1) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the Trust Loan that are required to be distributed on any Certificate; (2) alter in any manner the liens on any Collateral securing payments of the Trust Loan, (3) alter the obligations of the Servicer or the Trustee to make an Advance or alter the Accepted Servicing Practices; (4) change the percentages of Voting Rights or Percentage Interests of Certificateholders that are required to consent to any action or inaction under the Trust and Servicing Agreement; (5) adversely affect the Controlling Class Representative without the consent of 100% of the Controlling Class Certificateholders; or (6) amend Section 10.1 of the Trust and Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment to the Trust and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes in any manner the obligations of the Loan Sellers under the Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the Loan Sellers, and the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator may, but will not be obligated to, enter into any amendment to the Trust and Servicing Agreement that it determines affects its rights, duties or immunities or creates any additional liability for the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator under the Trust and Servicing Agreement. In addition, no amendment may be made to the Trust and Servicing Agreement unless the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator have first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party requesting the amendment, or at the Trust Fund’s expense if the Trustee is the requesting party) to the effect that the amendment is authorized or permitted under the Trust and Servicing Agreement and all conditions precedent have been met and that the amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Trustee or any other specified person in accordance with the amendment, will not result in the

 

Exhibit A-1-6
 

 

imposition of federal income tax on the Trust or cause either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code.

 

The Trust and Servicing Agreement provides that the respective obligations and responsibilities of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor and the Trustee created thereby with respect to the Certificates (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make certain payments to Certificateholders after the final Distribution Date and other than the indemnification rights and obligations of the parties thereto) shall terminate upon the last action required to be taken by the Certificate Administrator on the final Distribution Date pursuant to Article 9 of the Trust and Servicing Agreement following the later of (i) the final payment on the Certificates or (ii)  the liquidation of the Trust Loan (including, without limitation, the sale of the Trust Loan pursuant to the Trust and Servicing Agreement) or the liquidation or abandonment of the Properties and all other Collateral for the Trust Loan; provided, however, that in no event shall the Trust continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James’s, living on the date of execution of the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

 

Unless the Certificate of Authentication on this Certificate has been executed by the Certificate Administrator or on its behalf by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Trust and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

 

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Trust Loan and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Trust and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute, on the 4th Business Day after each Determination Date, commencing in January 2016 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the month preceding the calendar month in which the applicable Distribution Date occurs, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of interest, any Yield Maintenance Premiums then distributable, if any, and any other amounts distributable to the Class X-A Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Trust and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute, on the 4th Business Day after each Determination Date, commencing in January 2016 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the month preceding the calendar month in which the applicable Distribution Date occurs, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest, any Yield Maintenance Premiums then distributable, if any, and any other amounts distributable to the Class B Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the location that is specified by the Certificate Administrator in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

Exhibit A-5-4
 

 

Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Trust and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

 

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Trust and Servicing Agreement, dated as of December 15, 2015 (the “Trust and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Securities Corp., as Depositor, KeyBank National Association, as Servicer, AEGON USA Realty Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Trust and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute, on the 4th Business Day after each Determination Date, commencing in January 2016 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the month preceding the calendar month in which the applicable Distribution Date occurs, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest, any Yield Maintenance Premiums then distributable, if any, and any other amounts distributable to the Class C Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

 

All distributions will be made to the Persons entitled thereto by check mailed by first class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that the Certificate Administrator has received appropriate wire transfer instructions, at least five Business Days prior to the related Distribution Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the location that is specified by the Certificate Administrator in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

 

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Trust Loan, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Trust and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Trust and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator.

 

As provided in the Trust and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the

 

Exhibit A-5-5
 

 

Certificate Registrar shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.

 

Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Trust and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

 

The Trust and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or Companion Loan Holders, in certain circumstances specified in the Trust and Servicing Agreement. The Trust and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee with the written consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class adversely affected by such amendment evidencing, in each case, not less than 51% 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 Trust and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Certificates, except that the amendment may not (1) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the Trust Loan that are required to be distributed on any Certificate; (2) alter in any manner the liens on any Collateral securing payments of the Trust Loan, (3) alter the obligations of the Servicer or the Trustee to make an Advance or alter the Accepted Servicing Practices; (4) change the percentages of Voting Rights or Percentage Interests of Certificateholders that are required to consent to any action or inaction under the Trust and Servicing Agreement; (5) adversely affect the Controlling Class Representative without the consent of 100% of the Controlling Class Certificateholders; or (6) amend Section 10.1 of the Trust and Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment to the Trust and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes in any manner the obligations of the Loan Sellers under the Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the Loan Sellers, and the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator may, but will not be obligated to, enter into any amendment to the Trust and Servicing Agreement that it determines affects its rights, duties or immunities or creates any additional liability for the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator under the Trust and Servicing Agreement. In addition, no amendment may be made to the Trust and Servicing Agreement unless the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator have first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party requesting the amendment, or at the Trust Fund’s expense if the Trustee is the requesting party) to the effect that the amendment is authorized or permitted under the Trust and Servicing Agreement and all conditions precedent have been met and that the amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Trustee or any other specified person in accordance with the amendment, will not result in the

 

Exhibit A-5-6
 

 

imposition of federal income tax on the Trust or cause either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code.

 

The Trust and Servicing Agreement provides that the respective obligations and responsibilities of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor and the Trustee created thereby with respect to the Certificates (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make certain payments to Certificateholders after the final Distribution Date and other than the indemnification rights and obligations of the parties thereto) shall terminate upon the last action required to be taken by the Certificate Administrator on the final Distribution Date pursuant to Article 9 of the Trust and Servicing Agreement following the later of (i) the final payment on the Certificates or (ii)  the liquidation of the Trust Loan (including, without limitation, the sale of the Trust Loan pursuant to the Trust and Servicing Agreement) or the liquidation or abandonment of the Properties and all other Collateral for the Trust Loan; provided, however, that in no event shall the Trust continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James’s, living on the date of execution of the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

 

Unless the Certificate of Authentication on this Certificate has been executed by the Certificate Administrator or on its behalf by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Trust and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

 

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Trust Loan and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

Class D Certificates, the “Certificates”; the Holders of Certificates issued under the Trust and Servicing Agreement are collectively referred to herein as “Certificateholders”).

 

This Certificate is issued pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of a Trust and Servicing Agreement, dated as of December 15, 2015 (the “Trust and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Securities Corp., as Depositor, KeyBank National Association, as Servicer, AEGON USA Realty Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee. To the extent not defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate represents a “regular interest” in a “real estate mortgage investment conduit,” as those terms are defined, respectively, in Sections 860G(a)(1) and 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Trust and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute, on the 4th Business Day after each Determination Date, commencing in January 2016 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the month preceding the calendar month in which the applicable Distribution Date occurs, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest, any Yield Maintenance Premiums then distributable, if any, and any other amounts distributable to the Class D Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

 

All distributions will be made to the Persons entitled thereto by check mailed by first class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that the Certificate Administrator has received appropriate wire transfer instructions, at least five Business Days prior to the related Distribution Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the location that is specified by the Certificate Administrator in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

 

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Trust Loan, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

 

This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Trust and Servicing Agreement, and reference is made to the Trust and Servicing Agreement for the interests, rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced hereby, and the limitations thereon, and the rights, duties and immunities of the Certificate Administrator.

 

As provided in the Trust and Servicing Agreement, subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth therein, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate, the

 

Exhibit A-6-5
 

 

Certificate Registrar shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates in authorized denominations, in like aggregate interest and of the same Class.

 

Prior to due presentation of this Certificate for registration of transfer, the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, and any agent of the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in the Trust and Servicing Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, nor any agent of the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

 

The Trust and Servicing Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders or Companion Loan Holders, in certain circumstances specified in the Trust and Servicing Agreement. The Trust and Servicing Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee with the written consent of the Holders of Certificates of each Class adversely affected by such amendment evidencing, in each case, not less than 51% 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 Trust and Servicing Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Certificates, except that the amendment may not (1) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments received on the Trust Loan that are required to be distributed on any Certificate; (2) alter in any manner the liens on any Collateral securing payments of the Trust Loan, (3) alter the obligations of the Servicer or the Trustee to make an Advance or alter the Accepted Servicing Practices; (4) change the percentages of Voting Rights or Percentage Interests of Certificateholders that are required to consent to any action or inaction under the Trust and Servicing Agreement; (5) adversely affect the Controlling Class Representative without the consent of 100% of the Controlling Class Certificateholders; or (6) amend Section 10.1 of the Trust and Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment to the Trust and Servicing Agreement may be made that changes in any manner the obligations of the Loan Sellers under the Loan Purchase Agreement without the consent of the Loan Sellers, and the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator may, but will not be obligated to, enter into any amendment to the Trust and Servicing Agreement that it determines affects its rights, duties or immunities or creates any additional liability for the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Certificate Administrator under the Trust and Servicing Agreement. In addition, no amendment may be made to the Trust and Servicing Agreement unless the Trustee, the Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator have first received an Opinion of Counsel (at the expense of the party requesting the amendment, or at the Trust Fund’s expense if the Trustee is the requesting party) to the effect that the amendment is authorized or permitted under the Trust and Servicing Agreement and all conditions precedent have been met and that the amendment or the exercise of any power granted to the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor, the Trustee or any other specified person in accordance with the amendment, will not result in the

 

Exhibit A-6-6
 

 

imposition of federal income tax on the Trust or cause either the Lower-Tier REMIC or the Upper-Tier REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC under the Code.

 

The Trust and Servicing Agreement provides that the respective obligations and responsibilities of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor and the Trustee created thereby with respect to the Certificates (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make certain payments to Certificateholders after the final Distribution Date and other than the indemnification rights and obligations of the parties thereto) shall terminate upon the last action required to be taken by the Certificate Administrator on the final Distribution Date pursuant to Article 9 of the Trust and Servicing Agreement following the later of (i) the final payment on the Certificates or (ii)  the liquidation of the Trust Loan (including, without limitation, the sale of the Trust Loan pursuant to the Trust and Servicing Agreement) or the liquidation or abandonment of the Properties and all other Collateral for the Trust Loan; provided, however, that in no event shall the Trust continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James’s, living on the date of execution of the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

 

Unless the Certificate of Authentication on this Certificate has been executed by the Certificate Administrator or on its behalf by the Authenticating Agent, by manual signature, this Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Trust and Servicing Agreement or be valid for any purpose.

 

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Trust Loan and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

NEITHER THE CERTIFICATES NOR THE TRUST LOAN ARE INSURED OR GUARANTEED BY ANY GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY OR INSTRUMENTALITY OR PRIVATE INSURER.

 

THIS CERTIFICATE HAS NOT BEEN AND WILL NOT BE REGISTERED OR QUALIFIED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE OR FOREIGN SECURITIES LAW. THE HOLDER HEREOF, BY PURCHASING THIS CERTIFICATE, AGREES THAT THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE REOFFERED, RESOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED ONLY (A) PURSUANT TO RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT (“RULE 144A”) TO A PERSON THAT THE HOLDER REASONABLY BELIEVES IS A “QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER” WITHIN THE MEANING OF RULE 144A (A “QIB”), OR IS PURCHASING FOR THE ACCOUNT OF A QIB, AND WHOM THE HOLDER HAS INFORMED THAT THE REOFFER, RESALE, PLEDGE, OR OTHER TRANSFER IS BEING MADE IN RELIANCE ON RULE 144A, (B) IN EACH CASE IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES OR ANY OTHER APPLICABLE JURISDICTION.

 

THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE PURCHASED BY OR PLEDGED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED TO ANY PERSON THAT IS OR BECOMES AN EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN OR OTHER PLAN THAT IS SUBJECT TO THE FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBILITY PROVISIONS OF THE EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT INCOME SECURITY ACT OF 1974, AS AMENDED (“ERISA”), OR TO SECTION 4975 OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED (THE “CODE”), OR A GOVERNMENTAL PLAN (AS DEFINED IN SECTION 3(32) OF ERISA) OR OTHER PLAN THAT IS SUBJECT TO ANY FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL LAW THAT IS, TO A MATERIAL EXTENT, SIMILAR TO THE FOREGOING PROVISIONS OF ERISA OR THE CODE, OR ANY PERSON ACTING ON BEHALF OF ANY SUCH PLAN OR USING THE ASSETS OF SUCH PLAN TO ACQUIRE THIS CERTIFICATE.

 

THIS CERTIFICATE REPRESENTS A “RESIDUAL INTEREST” IN TWO “REAL ESTATE MORTGAGE INVESTMENT CONDUITS” AS THOSE TERMS ARE DEFINED, RESPECTIVELY, IN SECTIONS 860G(a)(2) AND 860D OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED. EACH TRANSFEREE OF THIS

 

Exhibit A-7-1
 

  

CERTIFICATE, BY ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, IS DEEMED TO HAVE ACCEPTED THIS CERTIFICATE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY TO DISQUALIFIED ORGANIZATIONS, INSTITUTIONS THAT ARE NOT U.S. PERSONS OR AGENTS OF EITHER, AS SET FORTH IN SECTIONS 5.02 AND 5.03 OF THE TRUST AND SERVICING AGREEMENT, AND SHALL BE REQUIRED TO FURNISH AN AFFIDAVIT TO THE TRANSFEROR AND THE CERTIFICATE ADMINISTRATOR TO THE EFFECT THAT, AMONG OTHER THINGS, (A) IT IS NOT A DISQUALIFIED ORGANIZATION, AS SUCH TERM IS DEFINED IN CODE SECTION 860E(e)(5), OR AN AGENT (INCLUDING A BROKER, NOMINEE OR OTHER MIDDLEMAN) FOR SUCH DISQUALIFIED ORGANIZATION AND IS OTHERWISE A PERMITTED TRANSFEREE, (B) IT HAS HISTORICALLY PAID ITS DEBTS AS THEY HAVE COME DUE AND INTENDS TO PAY ITS DEBTS AS THEY COME DUE IN THE FUTURE, (C) IT UNDERSTANDS THAT IT MAY INCUR TAX LIABILITIES WITH RESPECT TO THIS CERTIFICATE IN EXCESS OF CASH FLOWS GENERATED HEREBY, (D) IT INTENDS TO PAY ANY TAXES ASSOCIATED WITH HOLDING THIS CERTIFICATE AS THEY BECOME DUE, (E) IT WILL NOT CAUSE INCOME WITH RESPECT TO THIS CERTIFICATE TO BE ATTRIBUTABLE TO A FOREIGN PERMANENT ESTABLISHMENT OR FIXED BASE, WITHIN THE MEANING OF AN APPLICABLE INCOME TAX TREATY, OF SUCH PERSON OR ANY OTHER U.S. PERSON AND (F) IT WILL NOT TRANSFER THIS CERTIFICATE TO ANY PERSON OR ENTITY THAT DOES NOT PROVIDE A SIMILAR AFFIDAVIT. ANY PURPORTED TRANSFER TO A DISQUALIFIED ORGANIZATION OR OTHER PERSON THAT IS NOT A PERMITTED TRANSFEREE OR OTHERWISE IN VIOLATION OF THESE RESTRICTIONS SHALL BE ABSOLUTELY NULL AND VOID AND SHALL VEST NO RIGHTS IN ANY PURPORTED TRANSFEREE. BECAUSE THIS CERTIFICATE REPRESENTS MULTIPLE “NON-ECONOMIC RESIDUAL INTERESTS”, AS DEFINED IN TREASURY REGULATIONS SECTION 1.860E-1(c), TRANSFERS OF THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE DISREGARDED FOR FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES. IN ORDER TO SATISFY A REGULATORY SAFE HARBOR UNDER WHICH SUCH TRANSFERS WILL NOT BE DISREGARDED, THE TRANSFEROR MAY BE REQUIRED, AMONG OTHER THINGS, TO SATISFY ITSELF AS TO THE FINANCIAL CONDITION OF THE PROPOSED TRANSFEREE AND EITHER TO TRANSFER AT A MINIMUM PRICE OR TO AN ELIGIBLE TRANSFEREE AS SPECIFIED IN TREASURY REGULATIONS.

Exhibit A-7-3
 

 

The Certificate Administrator makes no representation or warranty as to any of the statements contained herein or the validity or sufficiency of the Certificates or the Trust Loan and has executed this Certificate in its limited capacity as Certificate Administrator under the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Trust and Servicing Agreement, the Certificate Administrator will distribute, on the 4th Business Day after each Determination Date, commencing in January 2016 (each such date, a “Distribution Date”), to the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as of the related Record Date, which will be the close of business on the last Business Day of the month preceding the calendar month in which the applicable Distribution Date occurs, an amount equal to such Person’s pro rata share (based on the Percentage Interest represented by this Certificate) of that portion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest, any Yield Maintenance Premiums then distributable, if any, and any other amounts distributable to the Class R Certificates for such Distribution Date, all as more fully described in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

 

All distributions will be made to the Persons entitled thereto by check mailed by first class mail to the address set forth therefor in the Certificate Register or, provided that the Certificate Administrator has received appropriate wire transfer instructions, at least five Business Days prior to the related Distribution Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of such Certificateholder at a bank or other entity located in the United States and having appropriate facilities therefor. The final distribution on each Certificate shall be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the location that is specified by the Certificate Administrator in the notice to Certificateholders of such final distribution.

 

This Certificate is limited in right of payment to, among other things, certain collections and recoveries in respect of the Trust Loan, as more specifically set forth herein and in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

The Trust and Servicing Agreement provides that the respective obligations and responsibilities of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Depositor and the Trustee created thereby with respect to the Certificates (other than the obligation of the Certificate Administrator to make certain payments to Certificateholders after the final Distribution Date and other than the indemnification rights and obligations of the parties thereto) shall terminate upon the last action required to be taken by the Certificate Administrator on the final Distribution Date pursuant to Article 9 of the Trust and Servicing Agreement following the

Re:CSMC Trust 2015-GLPA, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2015-GLPA, Class [__]

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

This letter is delivered pursuant to Section 5.3 of the Trust and Servicing Agreement, dated as of December 15, 2015 (the “Trust and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Securities Corp., as Depositor, KeyBank National Association, as Servicer, AEGON USA Realty Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee, on behalf of the holders of Commercial Mortgage Pass Through Certificates, Series 2015-GLPA (the “Certificates”) in connection with the transfer by [             ] (the “Seller”) to the undersigned (the “Purchaser”) of $_____ aggregate Certificate Balance of Class [ ] Certificates, in certificated fully registered form (such registered interest, the “Certificate”). Terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

 

In connection with such transfer, the Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to you as follows:

 

1.          The Purchaser is an entity qualifying as an “accredited investor” (an “Institutional Accredited Investor”) within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Certificate, and the Purchaser and any accounts for which the Purchaser is acting are each able to bear the economic risk of such investment. The Purchaser is acquiring the Certificate for its own account or for one or more accounts (each of which is an Institutional Accredited Investor) as to each of which the

 

Exhibit J-1-1
 

 

Purchaser exercises sole investment discretion. The Purchaser hereby undertakes to reimburse the Trust for any costs incurred by it in connection with this transfer.

 

2.          The Purchaser’s intention is to acquire the Certificate (a) for investment for the Purchaser’s own account or (b) for reoffer, resale, pledge or other transfer to (i) “qualified institutional buyers” in transactions under Rule 144A, or (ii) Institutional Accredited Investors pursuant to any other exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, subject in the case of this clause (ii) to (a) the receipt by the Certificate Registrar of a letter substantially in the form hereof, (b) the receipt by the Certificate Registrar of an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Certificate Registrar that such reoffer, resale, pledge or transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act, (c) the receipt by the Certificate Registrar of such other evidence acceptable to the Certificate Registrar that such reoffer, resale, pledge or transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act and other applicable laws (including applicable state and foreign securities laws), and (d) a written undertaking to reimburse the Trust for any costs incurred by it in connection with the proposed transfer. It understands that the Certificate (and any subsequent Non-Book Entry Certificate) has not been registered under the Securities Act, by reason of a specified exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the Purchaser’s investment intent (or intent to resell to only certain investors in certain exempted transactions) as expressed herein.

 

3.          The Purchaser acknowledges that the Certificate (and any Certificate issued on transfer or exchange thereof) has not been registered or qualified under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any State or any other jurisdiction, and that the Certificate cannot be resold unless it is registered or qualified thereunder or unless an exemption from such registration or qualification is available.

 

4.          The Purchaser has reviewed the applicable Offering Circular dated December 8, 2015, relating to the Certificates (the “Offering Circular”) and the agreements and other materials referred to therein and has had the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Offering Circular.

 

5.          The Purchaser hereby undertakes to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Trust and Servicing Agreement in its capacity as an owner of a Non-Book Entry Certificate or Certificates, as the case may be (each, a “Certificateholder”), in all respects as if it were a signatory thereto. This undertaking is made for the benefit of the Trust, the Certificate Registrar and all Certificateholders present and future.

 

6.          The Purchaser will not sell or otherwise transfer any portion of the Certificate, except in compliance with Section 5.3 of the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

 

7.          Check one of the following:

 

          The Purchaser is a “U.S. Person” and it has attached hereto an Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W 9 (or successor form).

 

          The Purchaser is not a “U.S. Person” and under applicable law in effect on the date hereof, no taxes will be required to be withheld by the Certificate Registrar (or

 

Exhibit J-1-2
 

 

its agent) with respect to Distributions to be made on the Certificate(s). The Purchaser has attached hereto (i) a duly executed IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or successor form), which identifies such Purchaser as the beneficial owner of the Certificate(s) and states that such Purchaser is not a U.S. Person, (ii) two duly executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY (and all appropriate attachment or (iii) two duly executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI (or successor form), which identify such Purchaser as the beneficial owner of the Certificate(s) and state that interest and original issue discount on the U.S. Securities is, or is expected to be, effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business. The Purchaser agrees to provide to the Certificate Registrar updated IRS Forms W-8BEN, IRS Forms W-8BEN-E, IRS Forms W-8IMY or IRS Forms W-8ECI, as the case may be, any applicable successor IRS forms, or such other certifications as the Certificate Registrar may reasonably request, on or before the date that any such IRS form or certification expires or becomes obsolete, or promptly after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent IRS form of certification furnished by it to the Certificate Registrar.

 

For purposes of this paragraph 7, “U.S. Person” means a citizen or resident of the United States, a corporation, partnership (except to the extent provided in applicable Treasury Regulations), or other entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, including any entity treated as a corporation or partnership for federal income tax purposes, an estate whose income is subject to United States federal income tax regardless of its source, 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 applicable Treasury Regulations, certain trusts in existence on August 20, 1996 that have elected to be treated as U.S. Persons).

COUNTY OF )  

 

Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

 

I, [______], under penalties of perjury, declare that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, the following representations are true, correct and complete, and being first sworn, depose and say that:

 

1.          I am a [______] of [______] (the “Purchaser”), on behalf of which I have the authority to make this affidavit.

 

2.          The Purchaser is acquiring Class R Certificates representing [__]% of the residual interest in each of the real estate mortgage investment conduits (each, a “REMIC”) designated as the “Lower-Tier REMIC” and ”Upper-Tier REMIC,” respectively, relating to the Certificates for which an election is to be made under Section 860D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”).

 

3.          The Purchaser is not a “Disqualified Organization” (as defined below), and that the Purchaser is not acquiring the Class R Certificates for the account of, or as agent or nominee of, or with a view to the transfer of direct or indirect record or beneficial ownership

 

Exhibit J-2-1
 

 

thereof, to a Disqualified Organization. For the purposes hereof, a Disqualified Organization is any of the following: (i) the United States, a State, or any political subdivision of a State, any possession of the United States or any agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing (other than an instrumentality that is a corporation if all of its activities are subject to tax and, except for the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, a majority of its board of directors is not selected by any such governmental unit), (ii) a foreign government, International Organization or agency or instrumentality of either of the foregoing, (iii) an organization that is exempt from tax imposed by Chapter 1 of the Code (including the tax imposed by Code Section 511 on unrelated business taxable income) on any excess inclusions (as defined in Code Section 860E(c)(1)) with respect to the Class R Certificates (except certain farmers’ cooperatives described in Code Section 521), (iv) rural electric and telephone cooperatives described in Code Section 1381(a)(2) or (v) any other Person so designated by the Certificate Registrar based upon an opinion of counsel to the effect that any transfer to such Person may cause either Trust REMIC to be subject to a tax or to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Certificates are outstanding. The terms “United States”, “State” and “International Organization” shall have the meanings set forth in Section 7701 of the Code or successor provisions thereto.

 

4.          The Purchaser acknowledges that Section 860E(e) of the Code would impose a substantial tax on the transferor or, in certain circumstances, on an agent for the transferee, with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Class R Certificates to a Disqualified Organization.

 

5.          The Purchaser is a Permitted Transferee. For the purpose hereof, a “Permitted Transferee” is any Person or agent of such Person other than (a) a Disqualified Organization, (b) any other Person so designated by the Certificate Registrar who is unable to provide an Opinion of Counsel (provided at the expense of such Person or the Person requesting the transfer) to the effect that the transfer of an ownership interest in any Class R Certificate to such Person will not cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Certificates are outstanding, (c) a Disqualified Non-U.S. Tax Person, (d) an entity treated as a U.S. partnership if any of its partners, directly or indirectly (other than through a U.S. corporation) is (or is permitted to be under the partnership agreement) a Disqualified Non-U.S. Tax Person or (e) a U.S. Tax Person with respect to which income from a Class R Certificate is attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty, of the transferee or any other U.S. Tax Person).

 

6.          No purpose of the acquisition of the Class R Certificates is to impede the assessment or collection of tax.

 

7.          The Purchaser will not cause income from the Class R Certificate to be attributable to a foreign permanent establishment or fixed base, within the meaning of an applicable income tax treaty, of the Purchaser or any other U.S. Tax Person.

 

8.          Check the applicable paragraph:

 

☐          The present value of the anticipated tax liabilities associated with holding the Class R Certificate, as applicable, does not exceed the sum of:

 

Exhibit J-2-2
 

 

(i)           the present value of any consideration given to the Purchaser to acquire such Class R Certificate;

 

(ii)          the present value of the expected future distributions on such Class R Certificate; and

 

(iii)          the present value of the anticipated tax savings associated with holding such Class R Certificate as the related REMIC generates losses.

 

For purposes of this calculation, (i) the Purchaser is assumed to pay tax at the highest rate currently specified in Section 11(b) of the Code (but the tax rate in Section 55(b)(1)(B) of the Code may be used in lieu of the highest rate specified in Section 11(b) of the Code if the Purchaser has been subject to the alternative minimum tax under Section 55 of the Code in the preceding two years and will compute its taxable income in the current taxable year using the alternative minimum tax rate) and (ii) present values are computed using a discount rate equal to the short-term Federal rate prescribed by Section 1274(d) of the Code for the month of the transfer and the compounding period used by the Purchaser.

 

☐          The transfer of the Class R Certificate complies with U.S. Treasury Regulations Sections 1.860E-1(c)(5) and (6) and, accordingly,

 

(i)          the Purchaser is an “eligible corporation,” as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), as to which income from the Class R Certificate will only be taxed in the United States;

 

(ii)          at the time of the transfer, and at the close of the Purchaser’s two fiscal years preceding the year of the transfer, the Purchaser had gross assets for financial reporting purposes (excluding any obligation of a Person related to the Purchaser within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(ii)) in excess of $100 million and net assets in excess of $10 million;

 

(iii)          the Purchaser will transfer the Class R Certificate only to another “eligible corporation,” as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(6)(i), in a transaction that satisfies the requirements of Sections 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i), (ii) and (iii) and Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(5); and

 

(iv)          the Purchaser determined the consideration paid to it to acquire the Class R Certificate based on reasonable market assumptions (including, but not limited to, borrowing and investment rates, prepayment and loss assumptions, expense and reinvestment assumptions, tax rates and other factors specific to the Purchaser) that it has determined in good faith.

 

☐          None of the above.

 

9.          The Purchaser historically has paid its debts as they have come due and intends to pay its debts as they come due in the future and the Purchaser intends to pay taxes associated with holding the Class R Certificates as they become due.

 

Exhibit J-2-3
 

 

10.          The Purchaser understands that it may incur tax liabilities with respect to the Class R Certificate in excess of any cash flows generated by such Certificate.

 

11.          The Purchaser is aware that the Certificate Registrar will not register any transfer of a Class R Certificate by the Transferor unless the Purchaser, or such Purchaser’s agent, delivers to the Certificate Registrar, among other things, an affidavit and agreement in substantially the same form as this affidavit and agreement. The Purchaser expressly agrees that it will not consummate any such transfer to any Person that does not provide an affidavit and agreement in substantially the same form as this affidavit and agreement or as to which the Purchaser has actual knowledge that such Person is not a Permitted Transferee or is acting as an agent (including a broker, nominee or other middleman) for a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee.

 

12.          The Purchaser represents that it is not acquiring the Class R Certificate as a nominee, trustee or agent for any Person that is not a Permitted Transferee and that for so long as it retains its interest in the Class R Certificate, it will endeavor to remain a Permitted Transferee.

 

13.          The Purchaser consents to any additional restrictions or arrangements that shall be deemed necessary upon advice of counsel to constitute a reasonable arrangement to ensure that the Class R Certificate will only be owned, directly or indirectly, by a Permitted Transferee.

 

14.          The Purchaser has reviewed the provisions of Section 5.3 of the Trust and Servicing Agreement, a description of which provisions is set forth in the Class R Certificates; and the Purchaser expressly agrees to be bound by and to comply with such provisions.

 

15.          The Purchaser consents to the designation of the Certificate Administrator as the agent of the Tax Matters Person of the Lower-Tier REMIC and the Upper-Tier REMIC pursuant to Section 12.1 of the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

 

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned thereto in the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

This letter is delivered to you in connection with the transfer by [______] (the “Transferor”) to [______] (the “Transferee”) of Class R Certificates evidencing a [__]% Percentage Interest in such Class (the “Residual Certificates”). The Certificates, including the Residual Certificates, were issued pursuant to the Trust and Servicing Agreement, dated as of December 15, 2015 (the “Trust and Servicing Agreement”), by and among Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Securities Corp., as Depositor, KeyBank National Association, as Servicer, AEGON USA Realty Advisors, LLC, as Special Servicer, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Certificate Administrator and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Trust and Servicing Agreement. The Transferor hereby certifies, represents and warrants to you, as Certificate Registrar, that:

 

(1)          No purpose of the Transferor relating to the transfer of the Residual Certificates by the Transferor to the Transferee is or will be to impede the assessment or collection of any tax.

 

(2)          The Transferor understands that the Transferee has delivered to you a Transfer Affidavit and Agreement in the form attached to the Trust and Servicing Agreement as Exhibit J-2. The Transferor has no actual knowledge that the Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee (as defined in such Transfer Affidavit and Agreement) and has no actual knowledge or reason to know that the Transferee’s representations in such Transfer Affidavit and Agreement are false.

 

(3)          The Transferor has at the time of this transfer conducted a reasonable investigation of the financial condition of the Transferee as contemplated by Treasury regulation Section 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i) and, as a result of that investigation, the Transferor has determined that the Transferee has historically paid its debts as they became due and has found no significant evidence to indicate that the Transferee will not continue to pay its debts as they become due in the future. The Transferor understands that the transfer of the Residual Certificates may not be

 

Exhibit J-3-1
 

 

respected for United States income tax purposes (and the Transferor may continue to be liable for United States income taxes associated therewith) unless the Transferor has conducted such an investigation.

(a) You will use the Confidential Information solely for the purpose of determining or monitoring a credit rating on the Certificates and, to the extent that any information used is derived from but does not reveal any Confidential Information, for benchmarking, modeling or research purposes (the “Intended Purpose”).

 

(b) You acknowledge that you are aware that the United States and state securities laws impose restrictions on trading in securities when in possession of material, non-public information and that the NRSRO will advise (through policy manuals or otherwise) each NRSRO Representative who is informed of the matters that are the subject of this Confidentiality Agreement to that effect.

 

(c) You will treat the Confidential Information as private and confidential. Subject to Section 4, without the prior written consent of the applicable Furnishing Entity, you will not disclose to any person any Confidential Information, whether such Confidential Information was furnished to you before, on or after the date of this Confidentiality Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may:

 

(i) disclose the Confidential Information to any of the NRSRO’s affiliates, directors, officers, employees, legal representatives, agents and advisors (each, a “NRSRO Representative”) who, in the reasonable judgment of the NRSRO, need to know such Confidential Information in connection with the Intended Purpose; provided, that, prior to disclosure of the Confidential Information to a NRSRO Representative, the NRSRO shall have taken reasonable precautions to ensure, and shall be satisfied, that such NRSRO Representative will act in accordance with this Confidentiality Agreement;

(iii) use information derived from the Confidential Information in connection with an Intended Purpose, if such derived information does not reveal any Confidential Information.

 

3. Disclosures Required by Law. If you or any NRSRO Representative is requested or required (orally or in writing, by interrogatory, subpoena, civil investigatory demand, request for information or documents, deposition or similar process relating to any legal proceeding, investigation, hearing or otherwise) to disclose any Confidential Information, you agree to provide the relevant Furnishing Entity with notice as soon as practicable (except in the case of regulatory or other governmental inquiry, examination or investigation, and otherwise to the extent practical and permitted by law, regulation or regulatory or other governmental authority) that a request to disclose the Confidential Information has been made so that the relevant Furnishing Entity may seek an appropriate protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information if it so chooses. Unless otherwise required by a court or other governmental or regulatory authority to do so, and provided that you been informed by written notice that the related Furnishing Entity is seeking a protective order or other reasonable assurance for confidential treatment with respect to the requested Confidential Information, you agree not to disclose the Confidential Information while the Furnishing Entity’s effort to obtain such a protective order or other reasonable assurance for

You agree to reasonably cooperate with each Furnishing Entity in its efforts to obtain a protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to the portion of the Confidential Information that is being disclosed, at the sole expense of such Furnishing Entity; provided, however, that in no event shall the NRSRO be required to take a position that such information should be entitled to receive such a protective order or reasonable assurance as to confidential treatment. If a Furnishing Entity succeeds in obtaining a protective order or other remedy, you agree to comply with its terms with respect to the disclosure of the Confidential Information, at the sole expense of such Furnishing Entity. If a protective order or other remedy is not obtained or if the relevant Furnishing Entity waives compliance with the provisions of this Confidentiality Agreement in writing, you agree to furnish only such information as you are legally required to disclose, at the sole expense of the relevant Furnishing Entity.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) the NRSRO may retain one or more copies of any document or other material containing Evaluation Material to the extent necessary for legal or regulatory compliance (or compliance with the NRSRO’s internal policies and procedures designed to ensure legal or regulatory compliance) and (b) the NRSRO may retain any portion of the Evaluation Material that may be found in backup tapes or other archive or electronic media or other documents prepared by the NRSRO and any Evaluation Material obtained in an oral communication; provided, that any Evaluation Material so retained by the NRSRO will remain subject to this Confidentiality Agreement and the NRSRO will remain bound by the terms of this Confidentiality Agreement.

 

5. Violations of this Confidentiality Agreement. The NRSRO will be responsible for any breach of this Confidentiality Agreement by you, the NRSRO or any NRSRO Representative.

 

You agree promptly to advise each relevant Furnishing Entity in writing of any misappropriation or unauthorized disclosure or use by any person of the Confidential Information which may come to your attention and to take all steps reasonably requested by such Furnishing Entity to limit, stop or otherwise remedy such misappropriation, or unauthorized disclosure or use.

 

You acknowledge and agree that the Furnishing Entities would not have an adequate remedy at law and would be irreparably harmed in the event that any of the provisions of this Confidentiality Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that each Furnishing Entity shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive relief to prevent breaches of this Confidentiality Agreement and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which a Furnishing Entity may be entitled at law or in equity.

1.           The Transferee is acquiring the right to receive Excess Servicing Fees (the “Excess Servicing Fee Right”) for its own account for investment and not with a view to or for sale or transfer in connection with any distribution thereof, in whole or in part, in any manner which would violate the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any applicable state securities laws.

 

2.           The Transferee understands that (a) the Excess Servicing Fee Right has not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or registered or qualified under any applicable state securities laws, (b) none of the Depositor, the Trustee, Certificate Administrator or the Certificate Registrar is obligated so to register or qualify the Excess Servicing Fee Right, and (c) the Excess Servicing Fee Right may not be resold or transferred unless it is (i) registered pursuant to the Securities Act and registered or qualified pursuant to any applicable state securities laws or (ii) sold or transferred in transactions which are exempt from such registration

and qualification and (A) the Depositor has received a certificate from the prospective transferor substantially in the form attached as Exhibit Z-1 to the Trust and Servicing Agreement, and (B) each of KeyBank National Association and the Depositor have received a certificate from the prospective transferee substantially in the form attached as Exhibit Z-2 to the Trust and Servicing Agreement.

The Transferee will not act, nor has it authorized or will it authorize any Person to act, in any manner set forth in the foregoing sentence with respect to the Excess Servicing Fee Right, any interest in the Excess Servicing Fee Right or any other similar security.

(b)          The Servicer shall be the master servicer on the Mortgage Loan, and from time to time it (or the Trustee, to the extent provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) (i) shall be required to make Servicing Advances with respect to the Mortgage Loan, subject to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and this Agreement, and (ii) may be required to make P&I Advances on the Lead Securitization Notes, if and to the extent provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and this Agreement. The Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, will be entitled to reimbursement for a Servicing Advance, first from funds on deposit in the Collection Account for the Mortgage Loan that (in

 

 15

 

 

any case) represent amounts received on or in respect of the Mortgage Loan, and then, in the case of Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances, if such funds on deposit in the Collection Account are insufficient, from general collections of the Lead Securitization as provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and from general collections of each Non-Lead Securitization as provided below. The Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, will be entitled to reimbursement for Advance Interest Amounts on a Servicing Advance or a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, in the manner and from the sources provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, including from general collections of the Lead Securitization and, in the case of Servicing Advances, from general collections of each Non-Lead Securitization as provided below. To the extent the Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, obtains funds from general collections of the Lead Securitization as a reimbursement for a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance or any Advance Interest Amounts on a Servicing Advance or a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder (including from general collections or any other amounts from any Non-Lead Securitization Trust) shall be required to, promptly following notice from the Servicer, reimburse the Lead Securitization for the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s allocable share, to be determined in Reverse Sequential Order, of such Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance or Advance Interest Amounts.

 

In addition, each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder (including, but not limited to, any Non-Lead Securitization Trust) shall be required to, promptly following notice from the Servicer or the Special Servicer, pay or reimburse the Lead Securitization for such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s allocable share, to be determined in Reverse Sequential Order, of any fees, costs or expenses incurred in connection with the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loan as to which the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Depositor, as applicable, is entitled to be reimbursed pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and any costs, fees and expenses related to obtaining any Rating Agency Confirmation, to the extent amounts on deposit in the Collection Account that are allocated to such Non-Lead Securitization Note are insufficient for reimbursement of such amounts and to the extent that funds from general collections in the Lead Securitization are applied towards the Lead Securitization Note Holder’s allocable share, to be determined in Reverse Sequential Order, of the insufficiency. Each Non-Lead Securitization Holder agrees to indemnify (i) (as and to the same extent the Lead Securitization Trust is required to indemnify each of the following parties in respect of other mortgage loans in the Lead Securitization Trust pursuant to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) each of the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee and the Depositor (and any director, officer, employee or agent of any of the foregoing, to the extent such parties are identified as indemnified parties in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement in respect of other mortgage loans) and (ii) the Lead Securitization Trust (such parties in clause (i) and the Lead Securitization Trust, collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) against any claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses incurred in connection with the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loan and the Mortgaged Properties under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (collectively, the “Indemnified Items”) to the extent of its allocable share, to be determined in Reverse Sequential Order, of such Indemnified Items, and to the extent amounts on deposit in the Collection Account that are allocated to a Non-Lead Securitization Note are insufficient for reimbursement of such amounts, the related Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall be required to, promptly

 

 16

 

 

following notice from the Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, reimburse each of the applicable Indemnified Parties for its allocable share, to be determined in Reverse Sequential Order, of the insufficiency, (including, if a Non-Lead Securitization Note has been included in a Non-Lead Securitization, from general collections or any other amounts from such Non-Lead Securitization Trust).

 

The master servicer under a non-lead Securitization (a “Non-Lead Master Servicer”) may be required to make P&I Advances on the related Non-Lead Securitization Note, from time to time, subject to the terms of the related servicing agreement for the related Securitization (each such agreement, a “Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement”) and this Agreement. The Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to make their own recoverability determination with respect to a P&I Advance to be made on the Lead Securitization Notes based on the information that they have on hand and in accordance with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. Each Non-Lead Master Servicer and the special servicer and the trustee under each Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (respectively, a “Non-Lead Special Servicer” and a “Non-Lead Trustee”), as applicable, shall be entitled to make their own recoverability determination with respect to a P&I Advance to be made on the related Non-Lead Securitization Note based on the information that they have on hand and in accordance with the related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. The Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, and the related Non-Lead Master Servicer or the related Non-Lead Trustee shall be required to notify the other of the amount of its P&I Advance within two business days of making such advance. If the Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable (with respect to the Lead Securitization Notes) or a Non-Lead Master Servicer, a Non-Lead Special Servicer or a Non-Lead Trustee, as applicable (with respect to a Non-Lead Securitization Note), determines that a proposed P&I Advance, if made, would be non-recoverable or an outstanding P&I Advance is or would be non-recoverable, or if the Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, subsequently determines that a proposed Servicing Advance would be non-recoverable or an outstanding Servicing Advance is or would be non-recoverable, then the Servicer or the Trustee (as provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, in the case of a determination of non-recoverability by the Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee) or the related Non-Lead Master Servicer or the related Non-Lead Trustee (as provided in the related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, in the case of a determination of non-recoverability by the related Non-Lead Master Servicer, the related Non-Lead Special Servicer or the related Non-Lead Trustee) shall notify the Servicer and the Trustee, or the related Non-Lead Master Servicer and the related Non-Lead Trustee, as the case may be, of the other Securitization within two business days of making such determination.

 

P&I Advances with respect to the Lead Securitization Notes shall be reimbursed solely out of amounts allocated to the Lead Securitization Notes pursuant to the this Agreement and shall not be reimbursed out of amounts allocated to the Non-Lead Securitization Notes. Likewise, P&I Advances with respect to any Non-Lead Securitization Notes will be reimbursed solely out of amounts allocated to such Non-Lead Securitization Notes pursuant to this Agreement and will not be reimbursed out of amounts allocated to the Lead Securitization Notes or the other Non-Lead Securitization Notes.

(e)          fifth, on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis based on the outstanding principal balances of each B Note, to each Note B Holder in an amount equal to all remaining principal payments (or other amounts allocated to principal) received, if any, with respect to such Monthly Payment Date with respect to the Mortgage Loan, until the B Note Principal Balance has been reduced to zero;

 

(f)          sixth, on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis, any Prepayment Premium, to the extent paid by the Mortgage Loan Borrowers, shall be paid to each Note A Holder in an amount up to its pro rata interest therein, based on the product of the applicable A Note Percentage Interests multiplied by its Relative Spread;

 

(g)          seventh, on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis, any Prepayment Premium, to the extent paid by the Mortgage Loan Borrower, shall be paid to each Note B Holder in an amount up to its pro rata interest therein, based on the product of the applicable B Note Percentage Interest multiplied by its Relative Spread;

 

 20

 

 

(h)          eighth, if the proceeds of any foreclosure sale or any liquidation of a Mortgage Loan or Mortgaged Property exceed the amounts required to be applied in accordance with the foregoing clauses (a)-(g) and, as a result of a Workout the Principal Balance of the B Notes have been reduced, such excess amount shall be paid to the Note B Holders, on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis, in an amount up to the reduction, if any, of the applicable B Note Principal Balance as a result of such Workout, plus interest on such amount at the related Net Note B Rate;

 

(i)          ninth, to the extent assumption or transfer fees actually paid by the Mortgage Loan Borrower are not required to be otherwise applied under the Servicing Agreement, including, without limitation, to provide reimbursement for interest on any Advances, to pay any Additional Servicing Expenses or to compensate a Servicer (in each case provided that such reimbursements or payments relate to the Mortgage Loan), any such assumption or transfer fees, to the extent actually paid by the Mortgage Loan Borrower, shall be paid to each Note A Holder and each Note B Holder, pro rata, based on their respective Percentage Interests; and

 

(j)          tenth, if any excess amount is available to be distributed in respect of the Mortgage Loan, and not otherwise applied in accordance with the foregoing clauses (a)-(i), any remaining amount shall be paid pro rata to each Note A Holder and each Note B Holder in accordance with their respective initial Percentage Interests.

 

All expenses and losses relating to the Mortgage Loan and the Mortgaged Properties, including without limitation losses of principal and interest, Servicing Advances, advance interest, Special Servicing Fees, Liquidation Fees and Workout Fees, Appraisal Reduction Amounts and certain other trust expenses, shall be allocated in Reverse Sequential Order. P&I Advances with respect to the Lead Securitization Notes shall be reimbursed solely out of amounts allocated to the Lead Securitization Notes pursuant to the this Agreement and shall not be reimbursed out of amounts allocated to the Non-Lead Securitization Notes. Likewise, P&I Advances with respect to any Non-Lead Securitization Notes will be reimbursed solely out of amounts allocated to such Non-Lead Securitization Notes pursuant to this Agreement and will not be reimbursed out of amounts allocated to the Lead Securitization Notes or the other Non-Lead Securitization Notes. Any realized losses (including reductions by a bankruptcy court) applied to reduce the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan shall be reimbursed in Sequential Order after all amounts of interest and principal have otherwise been paid in full on all the Notes.

 

Section 4.     Workout. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, but subject to the terms and conditions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, and the obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard, if the Lead Securitization Note Holder, or any Servicer, in connection with a workout or proposed workout of the Mortgage Loan, modifies the terms thereof such that (i) the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan is decreased, (ii) the Interest Rate on any Note is reduced, (iii) payments of interest or principal on any Note are waived, reduced or deferred or (iv) any other adjustment is made to any of the payment terms of the Mortgage Loan, such modification shall not alter, and any modification of the Mortgage Loan Documents shall be structured to preserve, the sequential order of payment of the Notes as set forth therein and all payments to the Note A Holders

 

 21

 

 

pursuant to Section 3 shall be made as though such workout did not occur, with the payment terms of each A Note remaining the same as they are on the date hereof, and the full economic effect of all waivers, reductions or deferrals of amounts due on the Mortgage Loan attributable to such workout shall be borne, first, by the Note B Holders, on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis, based on their respective Note Principal Balances (up to their respective Note Principal Balances, together with accrued interest thereon at the Interest Rate and any other amounts due to each Note B Holder, as applicable) and then, by the Note A Holders, on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis (up to their respective Note Principal Balances, together with accrued interest thereon at the Interest Rate and any other amounts due to each Note A Holder, as applicable). Any recoveries in connection with a workout of the Mortgage Loan will be allocated first, to the Note A Holders, on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis, based on their respective Note Principal Balances (up to their respective Note Principal Balances, together with accrued interest thereon at the Interest Rate and any other amounts due to each Note A Holder, as applicable), and then, to the Note B Holders, on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis, based on their respective Note Principal Balances (up to their respective Note Principal Balances, together with accrued interest thereon at the Interest Rate and any other amounts due to each Note B Holder, as applicable).

 

Section 5.     Administration of the Mortgage Loan.

 

(a)          Subject to this Agreement (including but not limited to Section 5(c)) and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and subject to the rights and consents, where required, of the Controlling Note Holder Representative, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder) shall have the sole and exclusive authority with respect to the administration of, and exercise of rights and remedies with respect to, the Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, the sole authority to modify or waive any of the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents or consent to any action or failure to act by the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any other party to the Mortgage Loan Documents, call or waive any Event of Default, accelerate the Mortgage Loan or institute any foreclosure action or other remedy, and no Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have any voting, consent or other rights whatsoever except as explicitly set forth herein with respect to the Lead Securitization Note Holder’s administration of, or exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to, the Mortgage Loan. Subject to this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder agrees that it shall have no right to, and hereby presently and irrevocably assigns and conveys to the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder) the rights, if any, that such Note Holder has to, (i) call or cause the Lead Securitization Note Holder to call an Event of Default under the Mortgage Loan, or (ii) exercise any remedies with respect to the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgage Loan Borrower, including, without limitation, filing or causing the Lead Securitization Note Holder to file any bankruptcy petition against the Mortgage Loan Borrower. The Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder) shall not have any fiduciary duty to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with the administration of the Mortgage Loan (but the foregoing shall not relieve the Lead Securitization Note Holder from the obligation to make any disbursement of funds as set forth herein or its obligation to follow the Servicing Standard (in the case of the Servicer or the Special Servicer) or any liability for failure to do so).

 

 22

 

 

Upon the Mortgage Loan becoming a Defaulted Mortgage Loan, each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder hereby acknowledges the right and obligation of the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Special Servicer acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder) to sell the Non-Lead Securitization Notes together with the Lead Securitization Notes as notes evidencing one whole loan in accordance with the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. In connection with any such sale, the Special Servicer shall be required to sell each Non-Lead Securitization Note together with the Lead Securitization Notes in the manner set forth in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Special Servicer acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder) shall not be permitted to sell the Mortgage Loan if it becomes a Defaulted Mortgage Loan without the written consent of each Non-Controlling Note Holder (provided that such consent is not required if the Non-Controlling Note Holder is a Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party) unless the Special Servicer has delivered to each Non-Controlling Note Holder: (a) at least 15 Business Days’ prior written notice of any decision to attempt to sell the Mortgage Loan; (b) at least 10 days prior to the permitted sale date, a copy of each bid package (together with any material amendments to such bid packages) received by the Special Servicer in connection with any such proposed sale; (c) at least 10 days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of the most recent appraisal for the Mortgaged Properties, and any documents in the Loan File reasonably requested by such Non-Controlling Note Holder that are material to the price of the Mortgage Loan; and (d) until the sale is completed, and a reasonable period of time (but not less time than is afforded to other offerors) prior to the proposed sale date, all information and other documents being provided to other offerors and all leases or other documents that are approved by the Servicer or the Special Servicer in connection with the proposed sale; provided, that such Non-Controlling Note Holder may waive any of the delivery or timing requirements set forth in this sentence. Subject to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, each Non-Controlling Note Holder shall be permitted to bid at any sale of the Mortgage Loan, unless such Person is the Mortgage Loan Borrower or an agent or Affiliate of the Mortgage Loan Borrower.

 

Each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder hereby appoints the Lead Securitization Note Holder as its agent, and grants to the Lead Securitization Note Holder an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest, and its proxy, for the purpose of soliciting and accepting offers for and consummating the sale of the Non-Lead Securitization Notes. Each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder further agrees that, upon the request of the Lead Securitization Note Holder, each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall execute and deliver to or at the direction of Lead Securitization Note Holder such powers of attorney or other instruments as the Lead Securitization Note Holder may reasonably request to better assure and evidence the foregoing appointment and grant, in each case promptly following request, and shall deliver the related original Non-Lead Securitization Note, endorsed in blank, to or at the direction of the Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with the consummation of any such sale.

 

The authority of the Lead Securitization Note Holder to sell the Non-Lead Securitization Notes, and the obligations of the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holders to execute and deliver instruments or deliver the Non-Lead Securitization Note upon request of the Lead Securitization Note Holder, shall terminate and cease to be of any further force or effect upon the date, if any, upon which the Lead Securitization is terminated in accordance with its terms.

 

 23

 

 

(b)          The administration of the Mortgage Loan shall be governed by this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. The servicing of the Mortgage Loan shall be carried out by the Servicer and, if the Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (or to the extent otherwise provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement), by the Special Servicer, in each case pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in accordance with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall cause the Servicer and the Special Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the Servicing Standard, taking into account the interests of each of the Note Holders as a collective whole (taking into account that the B Notes are junior to the A Notes). The Note Holders agree to be bound by the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. All rights and obligations of the Lead Securitization Note Holder described hereunder may be exercised by the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and/or the Trustee on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder. The Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall not be amended in any manner that may adversely affect any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder in its capacity as Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder without such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s prior written consent. Each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder (unless it is the same Person as or an Affiliate of the Mortgage Loan Borrower) shall be a third-party beneficiary to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement with respect to its rights as specifically provided for therein.

 

(c)          The Controlling Note Holder (or its Controlling Note Holder Representative) shall have, with respect to the Mortgage Loan, all of the same rights and powers of the Lead Securitization Subordinate Class Representative under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement with respect to the other mortgage loans included in the Lead Securitization, including without limitation, the right to consent and/or consult regarding Major Decisions and other servicing matters, the right to advise (1) the Special Servicer with respect to all Specially Serviced Loans and (2) the Special Servicer with respect to non-Specially Serviced Loans as to all matters for which the Servicer must obtain the consent or deemed consent of the Special Servicer, and the right to direct the Special Servicer to take, or to refrain from taking, such other actions with respect to the Mortgage Loan as the Lead Securitization Subordinate Class Representative may deem advisable or as to which provision is otherwise made therein, in each case subject to the terms and conditions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.

 

(d)          Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall be required to provide copies of any notice, information and report that it is required to provide to the Lead Securitization Subordinate Class Representative pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement with respect to any Major Decisions or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report relating to the Mortgage Loan, to the Non-Controlling Note Holder or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative, within the same time frame it is required to provide to the Lead Securitization Subordinate Class Representative (for this purpose, without regard to whether such items are actually required to be provided to the Lead Securitization Subordinate Class Representative under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement prior to or following the termination of a Controlling Class Control Period or a Controlling Class Consultation Period (each as defined in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement)).

 

 24

 

 

(e)          If any Note is included as an asset of a real estate mortgage investment conduit (a “REMIC”), within the meaning of Section 860D(a) of the Code, then, any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding: (i) the Mortgage Loan shall be administered such that the Notes shall qualify at all times as (or as interests in) a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, (ii) any real property (and related personal property) acquired by or on behalf of the Note Holders pursuant to a foreclosure, exercise of a power of sale or delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure of the Mortgage or lien on such property following a default on the Mortgage Loan shall be administered so that the interest of each Note Holder therein shall at all times qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code and (iii) no Servicer may modify, waive or amend any provision of the Mortgage Loan, consent to or withhold consent from any action of the Mortgage Loan Borrower, or exercise or refrain from exercising any powers or rights which the Note Holders may have under the Mortgage Loan Documents, if any such action would constitute a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan, within the meaning of Section 1.860G-2(b) of the regulations of the United States Department of the Treasury, more than three (3) months after the startup day of the REMIC which includes the Notes (or any portion thereof). Each Note Holder agrees that the provisions of this paragraph shall be effected by compliance with any REMIC provisions in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement relating to the administration of the Mortgage Loan.

 

Anything herein or in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that one of the Notes is included in a REMIC and the other is not, such other Note Holder shall not be required to reimburse such Note Holder or any other Person for payment of (i) any taxes imposed on such REMIC, (ii) any costs or expenses relating to the administration of such REMIC or to any determination respecting the amount, payment or avoidance of any tax under such REMIC or (iii) any advances for any of the foregoing or any interest thereon or for deficits in other items of disbursement or income resulting from the use of funds for payment of any such taxes, costs or expenses or advances, nor shall any disbursement or payment otherwise distributable to the other Note Holders be reduced to offset or make-up any such payment or deficit.

 

(f)          The Mortgage Loan shall be treated as a single loan for purposes of calculating the Appraisal Reduction Amount. Appraisal Reduction Amounts with respect to the Mortgage Loan shall be allocated, first, to the B Notes on a pro rata and pari passu basis (based on their relative outstanding principal balances), up to its respective outstanding principal balance, and then to the A Notes on a pro rata and pari passu basis (based on their relative outstanding principal balances).

 

Section 6.     Appointment of Controlling Note Holder Representative and Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative.

 

(a)          The Controlling Note Holder shall have the right at any time to appoint a representative in connection with the exercise of its rights and obligations with respect to the Mortgage Loan (the “Controlling Note Holder Representative”). The Controlling Note Holder shall have the right in its sole discretion at any time and from time to time to remove and replace the Controlling Note Holder Representative in accordance with the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. When exercising its various rights under Section 5 and

 

 25

 

 

elsewhere in this Agreement, the Controlling Note Holder may, at its option, in each case, act through the Controlling Note Holder Representative. The Controlling Note Holder Representative may be any Person (other than the Mortgage Loan Borrower, its principal or any Affiliate of the Mortgage Loan Borrower), including, without limitation, the Controlling Note Holder, any officer or employee of the Controlling Note Holder, any affiliate of the Controlling Note Holder or any other unrelated third party. No such Controlling Note Holder Representative shall owe any fiduciary duty or other duty to any other Person (other than the Controlling Note Holder). All actions that are permitted to be taken by the Controlling Note Holder under this Agreement may be taken by the Controlling Note Holder Representative acting on behalf of the Controlling Note Holder. No Servicer, Trustee or Certificate Administrator acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall be required to recognize any Person as a Controlling Note Holder Representative until the Controlling Note Holder has notified each Servicer, Trustee and Certificate Administrator of such appointment and, if the Controlling Note Holder Representative is not the same Person as the Controlling Note Holder, the Controlling Note Holder Representative provides each Servicer, Trustee and Certificate Administrator with written confirmation of its acceptance of such appointment, an address and facsimile number for the delivery of notices and other correspondence and a list of officers or employees of such Person with whom the parties to this Agreement may deal (including their names, titles, work addresses and facsimile numbers). The Controlling Note Holder shall promptly deliver such information to each Servicer, Trustee and Certificate Administrator. During a Controlling Class Control Period or a Controlling Class Consultation Period (including any such deemed event), the Controlling Note Holder Representative shall be the Lead Securitization Subordinate Class Representative.

 

(b)          Neither the Controlling Note Holder Representative nor the Controlling Note Holder will have any liability to the other Note Holders or any other Person for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action or the giving of any consent or the failure to give any consent pursuant to this Agreement or the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, or errors in judgment, absent any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence. The Note Holders agree that the Controlling Note Holder Representative and the Controlling Note Holder (whether acting in place of the Controlling Note Holder Representative when no Controlling Note Holder Representative shall have been appointed hereunder or otherwise exercising any right, power or privilege granted to the Controlling Note Holder hereunder) may take or refrain from taking actions, or give or refrain from giving consents, that favor the interests of one Note Holder over the other Note Holder, and that the Controlling Note Holder Representative may have special relationships and interests that conflict with the interests of a Note Holder and, absent willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of the Controlling Note Holder Representative or the Controlling Note Holder, as the case may be, agree to take no action against the Controlling Note Holder Representative, the Controlling Note Holder or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, principals or agents as a result of such special relationships or interests, and that neither the Controlling Note Holder Representative nor the Controlling Note Holder will be deemed to have been grossly negligent or reckless, or to have acted in bad faith or engaged in willful misfeasance or to have recklessly disregarded any exercise of its rights by reason of its having acted or refrained from acting, or having given any consent or having failed to give any consent, solely in the interests of any Note Holder.

 

 26

 

 

(c)          Each Non-Controlling Note Holder shall have the right at any time to appoint a representative in connection with the exercise of its rights and obligations with respect to the Mortgage Loan (each, a “Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative”). All of the provisions relating to Controlling Note Holder and the Controlling Note Holder Representative set forth in Section 6(a) (except those contained in the last sentence thereof) and Section 6(b) shall apply to each Non-Controlling Note Holder and its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative mutatis mutandis.

 

(d)          The Controlling Note Holder shall be entitled to exercise the rights and powers granted to the Lead Securitization Note Holder hereunder and the rights and powers granted to the “controlling class representative” or similar party under, and as defined in, the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement with respect to the Mortgage Loan. In addition, the Controlling Note Holder shall be entitled to advise (1) the Special Servicer with respect to all matters related to a “Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan” (as defined in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) and (2) the Special Servicer with respect to all matters for which the Servicer must obtain the consent or deemed consent of the Special Servicer, and, except as set forth below (i) the Servicer shall not be permitted to implement any Major Decision unless it has obtained the prior consent of the Special Servicer and (ii) during a Controlling Class Control Period (as defined in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement), the Special Servicer shall not be permitted to consent to the Servicer’s implementing any Major Decision nor will the Special Servicer itself be permitted to implement any Major Decision as to which the Controlling Note Holder has objected in writing within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the written recommendation and analysis and such additional information requested by the Controlling Note Holder as may be necessary in the reasonable judgment of the Controlling Note Holder in order to make a judgment with respect to such Major Decision. The Controlling Note Holder may also direct the Special Servicer to take, or to refrain from taking, such other actions with respect to the Mortgage Loan as the Controlling Note Holder may deem advisable.

 

If the Controlling Note Holder fails to notify the Special Servicer of its approval or disapproval of any proposed Major Decision within ten (10) Business Days after delivery to the Controlling Note Holder by the applicable Servicer of written notice of a proposed Major Decision, together with any information requested by the Controlling Note Holder as may be necessary in the reasonable judgment of the Controlling Note Holder in order to make a judgment, then upon the expiration of such ten (10) Business Days such Major Decision shall be deemed to have been approved by the Controlling Note Holder.

 

In the event that the Special Servicer or Servicer (in the event the Servicer is otherwise authorized by the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement to take such action), as applicable, determines that immediate action, with respect to the foregoing matters, or any other matter requiring consent of the Controlling Note Holder, during a Controlling Class Control Period pursuant to the Lead Securitization Agreement, is necessary to protect the interests of the Note Holders (as a collective whole taking into account that the B Notes are junior to the A Notes) and the Special Servicer has made a reasonable effort to contact the Controlling Note Holder, the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may take any such action without waiting for the Controlling Note Holder’s response.

 

 27

 

 

No objection contemplated by the preceding paragraphs may require or cause the Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to violate any provision of the Mortgage Loan Documents, applicable law, the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, this Agreement, the REMIC provisions of the Code or the Servicer or Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard or materially expand the scope of responsibilities of any of the Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable.

 

The Controlling Note Holder shall have no liability to the other Note Holders or any other party for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action or the giving of any consent or the failure to give any consent pursuant to this Agreement or the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, or errors in judgment, absent any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence. The Note Holders agree that the Controlling Note Holder may take or refrain from taking actions, or give or refrain from giving consents, that favor the interests of one Note Holder over the other Note Holders, and that the Controlling Note Holder may have special relationships and interests that conflict with the interests of another Note Holder and, absent willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of the Controlling Note Holder, agree to take no action against the Controlling Note Holder or any of its officers, directors, employees, principals or agents as a result of such special relationships or interests, and that the Controlling Note Holder shall not be deemed to have been grossly negligent or reckless, or to have acted in bad faith or engaged in willful misconduct or to have recklessly disregarded any exercise of its rights by reason of its having acted or refrained from acting, or having given any consent or having failed to give any consent, solely in the interests of any Note Holder.

 

Section 7.     Appointment of Special Servicer. Subject to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the Controlling Note Holder (or its Controlling Note Holder Representative) shall have the right at any time and from time to time, with or without cause, to replace the Special Servicer then acting with respect to the Mortgage Loan and appoint a replacement Special Servicer in lieu thereof. Any designation by the Controlling Note Holder (or its Controlling Note Holder Representative) of a Person to serve as Special Servicer shall be made by delivering to the other Note Holder, the Servicer, the then existing Special Servicer and other parties to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement a written notice stating such designation and satisfying the other conditions to such replacement as set forth in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (including, without limitation, a Rating Agency Confirmation, if required by the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement), if any. The Controlling Note Holder shall be solely responsible for any expenses incurred in connection with any such replacement without cause. The Controlling Note Holder shall notify the other parties hereto of its termination of the then currently serving Special Servicer and its appointment of a replacement Special Servicer in accordance with this Section 7. If the Controlling Note Holder has not appointed a Special Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan as of the consummation of the securitization under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, then the initial Special Servicer designated in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall serve as the initial Special Servicer but this shall not limit the right of the Controlling Note Holder (or its Controlling Note Holder Representative) to designate a replacement Special Servicer for the Mortgage Loan as aforesaid.

 

 28

 

 

Section 8.     Payment Procedure.

 

(a)          The Lead Securitization Note Holder, in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 3 and subject to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, will deposit or cause to be deposited all payments allocable to the Notes to the Collection Account pursuant to and in accordance with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. The Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer acting on its behalf) shall deposit such amounts to the applicable account within two (2) Business Days after receipt of properly identified funds by the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Servicer acting on its behalf) from or on behalf of the Mortgage Loan Borrower.

 

(b)          If the Lead Securitization Note Holder determines, or a court of competent jurisdiction orders, at any time that any amount received or collected in respect of any Note must, pursuant to any insolvency, bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance, preference or similar law, be returned to the Mortgage Loan Borrower or paid to the Lead Securitization Note Holder, a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder or any Servicer or paid to any other Person, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, a Lead Securitization Note Holder shall not be required to distribute any portion thereof to the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holders and each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder will promptly on demand by the Lead Securitization Note Holder repay to the Lead Securitization Note Holder any portion thereof that the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have theretofore distributed to such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder, together with interest thereon at such rate, if any, as the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have been required to pay to any Mortgage Loan Borrower, Servicer, Special Servicer or such other Person with respect thereto.

 

(c)          If, for any reason, the Lead Securitization Note Holder makes any payment to a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder before the Lead Securitization Note Holder has received the corresponding payment (it being understood that the Lead Securitization Note Holder is under no obligation to do so), and the Lead Securitization Note Holder does not receive the corresponding payment within five (5) Business Days of its payment to the related Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder, the related Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall, at the Lead Securitization Note Holder’s request, promptly return that payment to the Lead Securitization Note Holder.

 

(d)          Each Note Holder agrees that if at any time it shall receive from any sources whatsoever any payment on account of the Mortgage Loan in excess of its distributable share thereof, it shall promptly remit such excess to the applicable Note Holder, subject to this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. The Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have the right to offset any amounts due hereunder from a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder with respect to the Mortgage Loan against any future payments due to such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder under the Mortgage Loan. Such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s obligations under this Section 8 constitute absolute, unconditional and continuing obligations.

 

Section 9.     Limitation on Liability of the Note Holders. Each Note Holder shall have no liability to any other Note Holder with respect to its Note except with respect to

 

 29

 

 

losses actually suffered due to the gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement on the part of such Note Holder.

 

The Note Holders acknowledge that, subject to the obligation of the Lead Securitization Note Holder (including any Servicer and the Trustee) to comply with, and except as otherwise required by, the Servicing Standard, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (including any Servicer and the Trustee) may exercise, or omit to exercise, any rights that the Lead Securitization Note Holder may have under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement in a manner that may be adverse to the interests of any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder and that the Lead Securitization Note Holder (including any Servicer and the Trustee) shall have no liability whatsoever to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with the Lead Securitization Note Holder’s exercise of rights or any omission by the Lead Securitization Note Holder to exercise such rights other than as described above; provided, however, that the Servicer must act in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

 

Section 10.     Bankruptcy. Subject to Section 5(c), each Note Holder hereby covenants and agrees that only the Lead Securitization Note Holder has the right to institute, file, commence, acquiesce, petition under Bankruptcy Code Section 303 or otherwise or join any Person in any such petition or otherwise invoke or cause any other Person to invoke an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to or against the Mortgage Loan Borrower or seek to appoint a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official with respect to the Mortgage Loan Borrower or all or any part of its property or assets or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of the affairs of the Mortgage Loan Borrower. Each Note Holder further agrees that only the Lead Securitization Note Holder, and not the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holders, can make any election, give any consent, commence any action or file any motion, claim, obligation, notice or application or take any other action in any case by or against the Mortgage Loan Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or in any other Insolvency Proceeding. The Note Holders hereby appoint the Lead Securitization Note Holder as their agent, and grant to the Lead Securitization Note Holder an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest, and their proxy, for the purpose of exercising any and all rights and taking any and all actions available to the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holders in connection with any case by or against the Mortgage Loan Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or in any other Insolvency Proceeding, including, without limitation, the right to file and/or prosecute any claim, vote to accept or reject a plan, to make any election under Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Mortgage Loan, and to file a motion to modify, lift or terminate the automatic stay with respect to the Mortgage Loan. The Note Holders hereby agree that, upon the request of the Lead Securitization Note Holder, each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Lead Securitization Note Holder all and every such further deeds, conveyances and instruments as the Lead Securitization Note Holder may reasonably request for the better assuring and evidencing of the foregoing appointment and grant. All actions taken by the Servicer in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding are subject to and must be in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

 

Section 11.     Representations of the Note Holders. Each Note Holder represents and warrants that the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement is within its corporate powers, has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and does not contravene such Note Holder’s charter or any law or contractual restriction binding upon such

Note Holder, and that this Agreement is the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Note Holder enforceable against such Note Holder in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), and except that the enforcement of rights with respect to indemnification and contribution obligations may be limited by applicable law. Each Note Holder represents and warrants that it is duly organized, validly existing, in good standing and in possession of all licenses and authorizations necessary to carry on its business. Each Note Holder represents and warrants that (a) this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Note Holder, (b) to such Note Holder’s actual knowledge, all consents, approvals, authorizations, orders or filings of or with any court or governmental agency or body, if any, required for the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by such Note Holder have been obtained or made and (c) to such Note Holder’s actual knowledge, there is no pending action, suit or proceeding, arbitration or governmental investigation against such Note Holder, an adverse outcome of which would materially and adversely affect its performance under this Agreement.

 

Section 12.     No Creation of a Partnership or Exclusive Purchase Right. Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action taken pursuant hereto shall be deemed to constitute the relationship created hereby between the Note Holders as a partnership, association, joint venture or other entity. No Note Holder shall have any obligation whatsoever to offer to any other Note Holder the opportunity to purchase a participation interest in any future loans originated by such Note Holder or its Affiliates and if any Note Holder chooses to offer to any other Note Holder the opportunity to purchase a participation interest in any future mortgage loans originated by such Note Holder or its Affiliates, such offer shall be at such purchase price and interest rate as such Note Holder chooses, in its sole and absolute discretion. No Note Holder shall have any obligation whatsoever to purchase from any other Note Holder a participation interest in any future loans originated by such Note Holder or its Affiliates.

 

Section 13.     Other Business Activities of the Note Holders. Each Note Holder acknowledges that the other Note Holders or their Affiliates may make loans or otherwise extend credit to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Affiliate thereof, any entity that is a holder of debt secured by direct or indirect ownership interests in the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any entity that is a  holder of a preferred equity interest in the Mortgage Loan Borrower (each, a “Mortgage Loan Borrower Affiliate”), and receive payments on such other loans or extensions of credit to Mortgage Loan Borrower Affiliate and otherwise act with respect thereto freely and without accountability in the same manner as if this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby were not in effect.

 

Section 14.     Sale of the Notes.

 

(a)          Each Note Holder agrees that it will not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, syndicate, participate, hypothecate, contribute, encumber or otherwise dispose (either (i) directly or (ii) indirectly through entering into a derivatives contract or any other similar agreement, excluding a repo financing or a Pledge in accordance with Section 14(d)) of a Note (a “Transfer”) except to a Qualified Institutional Lender. Promptly after the Transfer, the non-transferring Note Holders shall be provided with (x) a representation from a transferee or the

 

 31

 

 

applicable Note Holder certifying that such transferee is a Qualified Institutional Lender (except in the case of a Transfer to a Securitization (and the related pooling and servicing or similar agreement requires the parties thereto to comply with this Agreement) or in accordance with the immediately following sentence) and (y) a copy of the assignment and assumption agreement referred to in Section 15. If a Note Holder intends to Transfer its respective Note, or any portion thereof, to an entity that is not a Qualified Institutional Lender, it must first obtain (x) prior to a Securitization, the consent of each non-transferring Note Holder or (2) after a Securitization of such non-transferring Note Holder’s Note, Rating Agency Confirmation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the non-transferring Note Holder’s prior consent (which will not be unreasonably withheld), and, if such non-transferring Note Holder’s Note is held in a Securitization Trust, without Rating Agency Confirmation, no Note Holder shall Transfer all or any portion of its Note (or a participation interest in such Note) to the Mortgage Loan Borrower or a Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party and any such Transfer shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee. The transferring Note Holder agrees that it will pay the expenses of the non-transferring Note Holder (including all expenses of the Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee) and all expenses relating to the confirmation from the Rating Agencies in connection with any such Transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Note Holder shall have the right, without the need to obtain the consent of any other Note Holder, the Rating Agencies or any other Person, to Transfer 49% or less (in the aggregate) of its Note or any beneficial interest in its Note. None of the provisions of this Section 14(a) shall apply in the case of (1) a sale of all of the Notes in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement or (2) a transfer by the Special Servicer, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, of the Mortgage Loan or a Mortgaged Property, upon the Mortgage Loan becoming a Defaulted Loan, to a single member limited liability or limited partnership, 100% of the equity interest in which is owned directly or indirectly, through one or more single member limited liability companies or limited partnerships, by the Lead Securitization Trust.

 

For the purposes of this Agreement, if any Rating Agency shall, in writing, waive, decline or refuse to review or otherwise engage any request for a Rating Agency Confirmation hereunder from such Rating Agency that a proposed action will not result in a qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of its then current rating of the securities issued pursuant to the related Securitization, such waiver, declination, or refusal shall be deemed to eliminate, for such request only, the condition that such confirmation by such Rating Agency (only) be obtained for purposes of this Agreement. For purposes of clarity, any such waiver, declination or refusal to review or otherwise engage in any request for such confirmation hereunder shall not be deemed a waiver, declination or refusal to review or otherwise engage in any subsequent request for such Rating Agency Confirmation hereunder and the condition for such Rating Agency Confirmation pursuant to this Agreement for any subsequent request shall apply regardless of any previous waiver, declination or refusal to review or otherwise engage in such prior request.

 

(b)          In the case of any Transfer of a participation interest in any of the Notes, (i) the respective Note Holders’ obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Note Holders shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Lead Securitization Note Holder and any Persons acting on its behalf shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Note Holder in connection with such Note Holder’s rights

 

 32

 

 

and obligations under this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, and all amounts payable hereunder shall be determined as if such Note Holder had not sold such participation interest.

 

(c)          Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, any Note Holder may pledge (a “Pledge”) its Note to any entity (other than the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Affiliate thereof) which has extended a credit facility to such Note Holder and that is either a Qualified Institutional Lender or a financial institution whose long-term unsecured debt is rated at least “A” (or the equivalent) or better by each Rating Agency (a “Note Pledgee”), on terms and conditions set forth in this Section 14(c), it being further agreed that a financing provided by a Note Pledgee to a Note Holder or any Person which Controls such Note that is secured by its Note and is structured as a repurchase arrangement, shall qualify as a “Pledge” hereunder, provided that a Note Pledgee which is not a Qualified Institutional Lender may not take title to the pledged Note without a Rating Agency Confirmation. Upon written notice by the applicable Note Holder to any other Note Holder and any Servicer that a Pledge has been effected (including the name and address of the applicable Note Pledgee), such other Note Holder agrees to acknowledge receipt of such notice and thereafter agrees: (i) to give Note Pledgee written notice of any default by the pledging Note Holder in respect of its obligations under this Agreement of which default such Note Holder has actual knowledge; (ii) to allow such Note Pledgee a period of ten (10) days to cure a default by the pledging Note Holder in respect of its obligations to any other Note Holder hereunder, but such Note Pledgee shall not be obligated to cure any such default; (iii) that no amendment, modification, waiver or termination of this Agreement shall be effective against such Note Pledgee without the written consent of such Note Pledgee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; (iv) that such other Note Holder shall give to such Note Pledgee copies of any notice of default under this Agreement simultaneously with the giving of same to the pledging Note Holder; (v) that such other Note Holder shall deliver to Note Pledgee such estoppel certificate(s) as Note Pledgee shall reasonably request, provided that any such certificate(s) shall be in a form reasonably satisfactory to such other Note Holder; and (vi) that, upon written notice (a “Redirection Notice”) to the other Note Holders and any Servicer by such Note Pledgee that the pledging Note Holder is in default, beyond any applicable cure periods, under the pledging Note Holder’s obligations to such Note Pledgee pursuant to the applicable credit agreement between the pledging Note Holder and such Note Pledgee (which notice need not be joined in or confirmed by the pledging Note Holder), and until such Redirection Notice is withdrawn or rescinded by such Note Pledgee, Note Pledgee shall be entitled to receive any payments that any Note Holder or Servicer would otherwise be obligated to pay to the pledging Note Holder from time to time pursuant to this Agreement or the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. Any pledging Note Holder hereby unconditionally and absolutely releases the other Note Holders and any Servicer from any liability to the pledging Note Holder on account of such other Note Holder’s or Servicer’s compliance with any Redirection Notice believed by any Servicer or such other Note Holder to have been delivered by a Note Pledgee. A Note Pledgee shall be permitted to exercise fully its rights and remedies against the pledging Note Holder to such Note Pledgee (and accept an assignment in lieu of foreclosure as to such collateral), in accordance with applicable law and this Agreement. In such event, the Note Holders and any Servicer shall recognize such Note Pledgee (and any transferee other than the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Affiliate thereof which is also a Qualified Institutional Lender at any foreclosure or similar sale held by such Note Pledgee or any transfer in lieu of

 

 33

 

 

foreclosure), and its successor and assigns, as the successor to the pledging Note Holder’s rights, remedies and obligations under this Agreement, and any such Note Pledgee or Qualified Institutional Lender shall assume in writing the obligations of the pledging Note Holder hereunder accruing from and after such Transfer (i.e., realization upon the collateral by such Note Pledgee) and agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The rights of a Note Pledgee under this Section 14(c) shall remain effective as to any Note Holder (and any Servicer) unless and until such Note Pledgee shall have notified any such Note Holder (and any Servicer, as applicable) in writing that its interest in the pledged Note has terminated.

 

(d)          Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if a conduit (“Conduit”) which is not a Qualified Institutional Lender provides financing to a Note Holder then such Note Holder shall have the right to grant a security interest in its Note to such Conduit notwithstanding that such Conduit is not a Qualified Institutional Lender, if the following conditions are satisfied:

 

(i)            The loan (the “Conduit Inventory Loan”) made by the Conduit to such Note Holder to finance the acquisition and holding of its Note requires a third party (the “Conduit Credit Enhancer”) to provide credit enhancement;

 

(ii)          The Conduit Credit Enhancer is a Qualified Institutional Lender;

 

(iii)         Such Note Holder pledges its interest in its Note to the Conduit as collateral for the Conduit Inventory Loan;

 

(iv)         The Conduit Credit Enhancer and the Conduit agree that, if such Note Holder defaults under the Conduit Inventory Loan, or if the Conduit is unable to refinance its outstanding commercial paper even if there is no default by such Note Holder, the Conduit Credit Enhancer will purchase the Conduit Inventory Loan from the Conduit, and the Conduit will assign the pledge of such Note Holder’s Note to the Conduit Credit Enhancer; and

 

(v)          Unless the Conduit is in fact then a Qualified Institutional Lender, the Conduit will not without obtaining a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency have any greater right to acquire the interests in the Note pledged by such Note Holder, by foreclosure or otherwise, than would any other purchaser that is not a Qualified Institutional Lender at a foreclosure sale conducted by a Note Pledgee.

 

Section 15.     Registration of the Notes and Each Note Holder. The Agent shall keep or cause to be kept at the Agent Office books (the “Note Register”) for the registration and transfer of the Notes. The Agent shall serve as the initial note registrar and the Agent hereby accepts such appointment. The names and addresses of the holders of the Notes and the names and addresses of any transferee of any Note of which the Agent has received notice, in the form of a copy of the assignment and assumption agreement referred to in this Section 15, shall be registered in the Note Register. The Person in whose name a Note Holder is so registered shall be deemed and treated as the sole owner and holder thereof for all purposes of this Agreement. Upon request of a Note Holder, the Agent shall provide such party with the names and addresses of the other Note Holders. To the extent the Trustee or another party is appointed as Agent

 

 34

 

 

hereunder, each Note Holder hereby designates such Person as its agent under this Section 15 solely for purposes of maintaining the Note Register.

 

In connection with any Transfer of a Note (but excluding any Pledgee unless and until it realizes on its Pledge), a transferee shall execute an assignment and assumption agreement (unless the transferee is a Securitization Trust and the related pooling and servicing agreement requires the parties thereto to comply with this Agreement), whereby such transferee assumes all of the obligations of the applicable Note Holder hereunder with respect to such Note thereafter accruing and agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, including the applicable restriction on Transfers set forth in Section 14, from and after the date of such assignment. No transfer of a Note may be made unless it is registered on the Note Register, and the Agent shall not recognize any attempted or purported transfer of any Note in violation of the provisions of Section 14 and this Section 15. Any such purported transfer shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee. Each Note Holder desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Agent and the other Note Holders against any liability that may result if the transfer is not made in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

 

Section 16.     Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial. THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT, AND/OR THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS AND DECISIONS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CHOICE OF LAW RULES THEREOF (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW).

(b)          CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE BROUGHT IN SUCH COURTS AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT COURT AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME;

 

 35

 

 

(c)          AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE EFFECTED BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL (OR ANY SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR FORM OF MAIL), POSTAGE PREPAID, TO ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH HEREIN OR AT SUCH OTHER ADDRESS OF WHICH A PARTY HEREIN SHALL HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED; AND

 

(d)          AGREES THAT NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT TO EFFECT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT TO SUE IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

 

Section 18.     Modifications. This Agreement shall not be modified, cancelled or terminated except by an instrument in writing signed by each Note Holder. Additionally, for as long as any Note is contained in a Securitization Trust, the Note Holders shall not amend or modify this Agreement without first receiving a Rating Agency Confirmation; provided that no such confirmation from the Rating Agencies shall be required in connection with a modification (i) to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provisions herein that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provisions herein or with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, (ii) to make other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement, which shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, (iii) entered into pursuant to Section 31 of this Agreement or (iv) if and to the extent that it would be deemed given or not required pursuant to the definition of Rating Agency Confirmation in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and/or any Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, as applicable.

 

Section 19.     Successors and Assigns; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Except as provided herein, including without limitation, with respect to the Trustee, Certificate Administrator, Servicer, Special Servicer, Non-Lead Master Servicer, Non-Lead Special Servicer, Non-Lead Trustee, none of the provisions of this Agreement shall be for the benefit of or enforceable by any Person not a party hereto. Subject to Section 14 and Section 15, each Note Holder may assign or delegate its rights or obligations under this Agreement. Upon any such assignment, the assignee shall be entitled to all rights and benefits of the applicable Note Holder hereunder.

 

Section 20.     Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and all of such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

Section 22.     Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable laws, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

 

Section 23.     Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter contained in this Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings and negotiations between the parties.

 

Section 24.     Withholding Taxes.  (a) If the Lead Securitization Note Holder or the Mortgage Loan Borrower shall be required by law to deduct and withhold Taxes from interest, fees or other amounts payable to a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder with respect to the Mortgage Loan as a result of such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder constituting a Non-Exempt Person, the Lead Securitization Note Holder, in its capacity as servicer, shall be entitled to do so with respect to such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s interest in such payment (all withheld amounts being deemed paid to such Note Holder), provided that the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall furnish such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder with a statement setting forth the amount of Taxes withheld, the applicable rate and other information which may reasonably be requested for purposes of assisting such Note Holder to seek any allowable credits or deductions for the Taxes so withheld in each jurisdiction in which such Note Holder is subject to tax.

 

(b)          Each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall and hereby agrees to indemnify the Lead Securitization Note Holder against and hold the Lead Securitization Note Holder harmless from and against any Taxes, interest, penalties and attorneys’ fees and disbursements arising or resulting from any failure of the Lead Securitization Note Holder to withhold Taxes from payment made to such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder in reliance upon any representation, certificate, statement, document or instrument made or provided by such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder to the Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with the obligation of the Lead Securitization Note Holder to withhold Taxes from payments made to Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder, it being expressly understood and agreed that (i) the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall be absolutely and unconditionally entitled to accept any such representation, certificate, statement, document or instrument as being true and correct in all respects and to fully rely thereon without any obligation or responsibility to investigate or to make any inquiries with respect to the accuracy, veracity, correctness or validity of the same and (ii) such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder, upon request of the Lead Securitization Note Holder and at its sole cost and expense, shall defend any claim or action relating to the foregoing indemnification using counsel selected by the Lead Securitization Note Holder.

 

(c)          Each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder represents to the Lead Securitization Note Holder (for the benefit of the Mortgage Loan Borrower) that it is not a Non-Exempt Person and that neither the Lead Securitization Note Holder nor the Mortgage Loan Borrower is obligated under applicable law to withhold Taxes on sums paid to it with respect to the Mortgage Loan or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement. Contemporaneously with the

 

 37

 

 

execution of this Agreement and from time to time as necessary during the term of this Agreement, each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall deliver to the Lead Securitization Note Holder or Servicer, as applicable, evidence satisfactory to the Lead Securitization Note Holder substantiating that such Note Holder is not a Non-Exempt Person and that the Lead Securitization Note Holder is not obligated under applicable law to withhold Taxes on sums paid to it with respect to the Mortgage Loan or otherwise under this Agreement. Without limiting the effect of the foregoing, (i) if a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder is created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, it shall satisfy the requirements of the preceding sentence by furnishing to the Lead Securitization Note Holder an Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 and (ii) if a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder is not created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, and if the payment of interest or other amounts by the Mortgage Loan Borrower is treated for United States income tax purposes as derived in whole or part from sources within the United States, such Note Holder shall satisfy the requirements of the preceding sentence by furnishing to the Lead Securitization Note Holder Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8IMY (with appropriate attachments) or Form W-8BEN, or successor forms, as may be required from time to time, duly executed by such Note Holder, as evidence of such Note Holder’s exemption from the withholding of United States tax with respect thereto. The Lead Securitization Note Holder shall not be obligated to make any payment hereunder with respect to a Non-Lead Securitization Note or otherwise until the related Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have furnished to the Lead Securitization Note Holder requested forms, certificates, statements or documents.

 

Section 25.     Custody of Mortgage Loan Documents. The originals of all of the Mortgage Loan Documents (other than each Non-Lead Securitization Note) (a) prior to the Lead Securitization will be held by the Initial Agent and (b) after the Lead Securitization, will be held by the Lead Securitization Note Holder (in the name of the Trustee and held by a duly appointed custodian therefor in accordance with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement), in each case, on behalf of the registered holders of the Notes.

 

Section 26.     Cooperation in Securitization.

 

(a)          Each Note Holder acknowledges that any Note Holder may elect, in its sole discretion, to include its Note in a Securitization. In connection with a Securitization and subject to the terms of the preceding sentence, at the request of the Lead Securitization Note Holder, each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall use reasonable efforts, at the Lead Securitization Note Holder’s expense, to satisfy, and to cooperate with the Lead Securitization Note Holder in attempting to cause the Mortgage Loan Borrower to satisfy, the market standards to which the Lead Securitization Note Holder customarily adheres or which may be reasonably required in the marketplace or by the Rating Agencies in connection with the Securitization, including, entering into (or consenting to, as applicable) any modifications to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loan Documents and to cooperate with the Lead Securitization Note Holder in attempting to cause the Mortgage Loan Borrower to execute such modifications to the Mortgage Loan Documents, in any such case, as may be reasonably requested by the Rating Agencies to effect the Securitization; provided, however, that either in connection with the Lead Securitization or otherwise at any time prior to the Lead Securitization, none of the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holders shall be required to modify or amend this Agreement or

 

 38

 

 

any Mortgage Loan Documents (or consent to such modification, as applicable) in connection therewith, if such modification or amendment would (i) change the interest allocable to, or the amount of any payments due to or priority of such payments to, a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder or (ii) materially increase a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holders’ obligations or materially decrease any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holders’ rights, remedies or protections. In connection with the Lead Securitization, each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder agrees to provide for inclusion in any disclosure document relating to the Lead Securitization such information concerning such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder and the related Non-Lead Securitization Note as the Lead Securitization Note Holder reasonably determines to be necessary or appropriate, and each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder covenants and agrees that it shall, at the Lead Securitization Note Holder’s expense, cooperate with the reasonable requests of each Rating Agency and Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with the Lead Securitization (including, without limitation, reasonably cooperating with the Lead Securitization Noteholder (without any obligation to make additional representations and warranties) to enable the Lead Securitization Noteholder to make all necessary certifications and deliver all necessary opinions (including customary securities law opinions) in connection with the Mortgage Loan and the Lead Securitization), as well as in connection with all other matters and the preparation of any offering documents thereof and to review and respond reasonably promptly with respect to any information relating to a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder and the related Non-Lead Securitization Note in any Securitization document. Each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder acknowledges that the information provided by it to the Lead Securitization Note Holder may be incorporated into the offering documents for the Lead Securitization. The Lead Securitization Note Holder and each Rating Agency shall be entitled to rely on the information supplied by, or on behalf of, each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder. The Lead Securitization Note Holder will reasonably cooperate with each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder by providing all information reasonably requested that is in the Lead Securitization Note Holder’s possession in connection with each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holders’ preparation of disclosure materials in connection with a Securitization.

 

Upon request, the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall deliver to a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder drafts of the preliminary and final Lead Securitization offering memoranda, prospectus supplement, free writing prospectus and any other disclosure documents and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and provide reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such documents.

 

Section 27.      Notices. All notices required hereunder shall be given by (i) telephone (confirmed promptly in writing) or shall be in writing and personally delivered, (ii) sent by facsimile transmission (during business hours) if the sender on the same day sends a confirming copy of such notice by reputable overnight delivery service (charges prepaid), (iii) reputable overnight delivery service (charges prepaid) or (iv) certified United States mail, postage prepaid return receipt requested, and addressed to the respective parties at their addresses set forth on Exhibit B hereto, or at such other address as any party shall hereafter inform the other party by written notice given as aforesaid. All written notices so given shall be deemed effective upon receipt.

 39

 

 

Section 29.     Certain Matters Affecting the Agent.

 

(a)          The Agent may request and/or rely upon and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any officer’s certificate or assignment and assumption agreement delivered to the Agent pursuant to Section 14 and Section 15;

 

(b)          The Agent may consult with counsel and any opinion of counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such opinion of counsel;

 

(c)          The Agent shall be under no obligation to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction of any Note Holder pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless it has received indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it;

 

(d)          The Agent or any of its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, agents or “control” persons within the meaning of the Act, shall not be personally liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and reasonably believed by the Agent to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement;

 

(e)          The Agent shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any officer’s certificate or assignment and assumption agreement delivered to the Agent pursuant to Section 15;

 

(f)          The Agent may execute any of the powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys but shall not be relieved of its obligations hereunder; and

 

(g)          The Agent represents and warrants that it is a Qualified Institutional Lender.

 

Section 30.     Termination and Resignation of Agent

 

(a)          The Agent may be terminated at any time upon ten (10) days prior written notice from each Note A Holder. In the event that the Agent is terminated pursuant to this Section 30, all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement shall be terminated, other than any rights or obligations that accrued prior to the date of such termination.

 

(b)          The Agent may resign at any time on ten (10) days’ prior notice, so long as a successor Agent, reasonably satisfactory to the Note Holders (it being agreed that a Servicer, the Trustee or a Certificate Administrator in a Securitization is satisfactory to the Note Holders), has agreed to be bound by this Agreement and perform the duties of the Agent hereunder. Column, as Initial Agent, may transfer its rights and obligations to a Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as successor Agent, at any time without the consent of any Note Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Note Holders hereby agree that, simultaneously with the closing of the Lead Securitization, the Servicer shall be deemed to have been automatically appointed as the successor Agent under this Agreement in place of Column without any further notice or other action. The termination or resignation of such Servicer, as

 

 40

 

 

Servicer under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, shall be deemed a termination or resignation of such Servicer as Agent under this Agreement.

 

Section 31.     Resizing. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, for so long as Column, MSMCH or an affiliate of either of them (an “Original Entity”) is the owner of a Non-Lead Securitization Note (the “Owned Note”), such Original Entity shall have the right, subject to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents, to cause the Mortgage Loan Borrower to execute amended and restated notes or additional notes (in either case, “New Notes”) reallocating the principal of the Owned Note to such New Notes; or severing the Owned Note into one or more further “component” notes in the aggregate principal amount equal to the then outstanding principal balance of the Owned Note provided that (i) the aggregate principal balance of all outstanding New Notes following such amendments is no greater than the aggregate principal of the Owned Note prior to such amendments, (ii) all Notes continue to have the same weighted average interest rate as the Notes prior to such amendments, (iii) all Notes pay pro rata and on a pari passu basis (to the extent described in the Mortgage Loan Agreement) and such reallocated or component notes shall be automatically subject to the terms of this Agreement, (iv) the Original Entity holding the New Notes shall notify the Lead Securitization Note Holder, the Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee in writing of such modified allocations and principal amounts, and (v) the execution of such amendments and New Notes does not violate the Servicing Standard. If the Lead Securitization Note Holder so requests, the Original Entity holding the New Notes (and any subsequent holder of such Notes) shall execute a confirmation of the continuing applicability of this Agreement to the New Notes, as so modified.

16
 

 

terms of this Agreement to reimbursement from a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder with respect to all or a portion of such Non-Lead Securitization’s “share” of such payment, the Servicer may use efforts in accordance with the Servicing Standard to exercise promptly the rights of the Lead Securitization Trust under this Agreement to obtain reimbursement from a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder for such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holders’ allocable share of the amount so paid. Each Servicer shall be required pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement to service the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the Servicing Standard, the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents, the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and applicable law, shall provide information to each Non-Lead Servicer under each Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement to enable each such Non-Lead Servicer to perform its servicing duties under the related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and shall not take any action or refrain from taking any action or follow any direction inconsistent with the foregoing.

(b)           The Master Servicer shall be the lead master servicer on the Mortgage Loan, and from time to time it (or the Trustee, to the extent provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) (i) shall be required to make Servicing Advances with respect to the Mortgage Loan, subject to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and this Agreement, and (ii) may be required to make P&I Advances on the Lead Securitization Note, if and to the extent provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and this Agreement. The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to reimbursement for a Servicing Advance, first from funds on deposit in the Collection Account and/or the Serviced Whole Loan Custodial Account for the Mortgage Loan that (in any case) represent amounts received on or in respect of the Mortgage Loan, and then, in the case of Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances, if such funds on deposit in the Collection Account with respect to the Lead Securitization Note, together with funds on deposit in the Serviced Whole Loan Custodial Account, are insufficient, from general collections of the Lead Securitization as provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and from general collections of the Non-Lead Securitization as provided below. The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the

 

17
 

 

Trustee, as applicable, shall be entitled to reimbursement for accrued and unpaid interest on a Servicing Advance or a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, in the manner and from the sources provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, including from general collections of the Lead Securitization and, in the case of Servicing Advances, from general collections of the Non-Lead Securitization as provided below. To the extent the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, obtains funds from general collections of the Lead Securitization as a reimbursement for a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance or any accrued and unpaid interest on a Servicing Advance or a Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance, each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder (including any Non-Lead Securitization Trust) shall be required to, promptly following notice from the Master Servicer, reimburse the Lead Securitization for its pro rata share of such Nonrecoverable Servicing Advance or accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

 

In addition, each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder (including, but not limited to, any Non-Lead Securitization Trust) shall be required to, promptly following notice from the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, pay or reimburse the Lead Securitization for such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s pro rata share of any fees, costs or expenses incurred in connection with the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loan as to which the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Senior Trust Advisor or the Depositor, as applicable, is entitled to be reimbursed pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (other than P&I Advances and interest thereon), to the extent amounts on deposit in the “Serviced Whole Loan Custodial Account” are insufficient for reimbursement of such amounts and to the extent that funds from general collections in the Lead Securitization are applied towards the Lead Securitization Note Holder’s pro rata share of the insufficiency. Each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall indemnify (i) (as and to the same extent the Lead Securitization Trust is required to indemnify each of the following parties in respect of other mortgage loans in the Lead Securitization Trust pursuant to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) each of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee, the Senior Trust Advisor (if and to the extent it has responsibilities with respect to the Non-Lead Securitization Notes) and the Depositor (and any director, officer, employee or agent of any of the foregoing, to the extent such parties are identified as indemnified parties in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement in respect of other mortgage loans) and (ii) the Lead Securitization Trust (such parties in clause (i) and the Lead Securitization Trust, collectively, (the “Indemnified Parties”) against any claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses incurred in connection with the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loan and the Mortgaged Property (or, with respect to the Senior Trust Advisor, incurred in connection with the provision of services for the Mortgage Loan) under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (collectively, the “Indemnified Items”) to the extent of its pro rata share of such Indemnified Items, and to the extent amounts on deposit in the “Serviced Whole Loan Custodial Account” are insufficient for reimbursement of such amounts, the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall be required to, promptly following notice from the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, reimburse each of the applicable Indemnified Parties for its pro rata share of the insufficiency (including, if a Non-Lead Securitization Note has been included in a Non-Lead Securitization, from general collections or any other amounts from such Non-Lead Securitization Trust).

The applicable master servicer under any Non-Lead Securitization (the “Non-Lead Master Servicer”) may be required to make P&I Advances on the related Non-Lead Securitization Note, from time to time, subject to the terms of the servicing agreement for the related Securitization (the “Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement”), the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and this Agreement. The Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, shall each be entitled to make its own recoverability determination with respect to a P&I Advance to be made on the Lead Securitization Note based on the information that they have on hand and in accordance with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. Each Non-Lead Master Servicer and the applicable special servicer and the trustee under the related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (respectively, the “Non-Lead Special Servicer” and the “Non-Lead Trustee”), as applicable, shall be entitled to make their own recoverability determination with respect to a P&I Advance to be made on the related Non-Lead Securitization Note based on the information that they have on hand and in accordance with the Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. The Master Servicer and the Trustee, as applicable, and the related Non-Lead Master Servicer or the related Non-Lead Trustee shall be required to notify the other of the amount of its P&I Advance within two business days of making such advance. If the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable (with respect to the Lead Securitization Note) or a Non-Lead Master Servicer, Non-Lead Special Servicer or a Non-Lead Trustee, as applicable (with respect to a Non-Lead Securitization Note), determines that a proposed P&I Advance, if made, would be non-recoverable or an outstanding P&I Advance is or would be non-recoverable, or if the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable, subsequently determines that a proposed Servicing Advance would be non-recoverable or an outstanding Servicing Advance is or would be non-recoverable, then the Master Servicer or the Trustee (as provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, in the case of a determination of non-recoverability by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee) or the related Non-Lead Master Servicer or the related Non-Lead Trustee (as provided in the related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, in the case of a determination of non-recoverability by the related Non-Lead Master Servicer, the related Non-Lead Special Servicer or the related Non-Lead Trustee) shall notify the related Master Servicer and the related Trustee, or the Non-Lead Master Servicer and the Non-Lead Trustee, as the case may be, of the other Securitization within two business days of making such determination. Each of the Master Servicer and the Trustee will only be entitled to reimbursement for a P&I Advance made with respect to the Lead Securitization Note and advance interest thereon that becomes non-recoverable first from the Collection Account from amounts allocable to the Lead Securitization Note, and then, if funds are insufficient, from general collections of the Lead Securitization Trust, pursuant to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. Each of a Non-Lead Master Servicer and a Non-Lead Trustee, as applicable, will only be entitled to reimbursement for a P&I Advance made with respect to the Non-Lead Securitization Note and advance interest thereon that becomes non-recoverable, first from the Serviced Whole Loan Custodial Account and then if funds are insufficient, from general collections of the related Non-Lead Securitization Trust, as and to the extent provided in the related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.

 

(c)           Each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder agrees that, if the related Non-Lead Securitization Note is included in a Securitization, it shall cause the applicable Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement to contain provisions to the effect that:

 

19
 

 

(i)            such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall be responsible for its pro rata share of any Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances (and accrued and unpaid interest thereon) and any additional Trust Fund expenses (but not any interest on P&I Advances), but only to the extent that they relate to servicing and administration of the Notes and the Mortgaged Property, including without limitation, any unpaid Special Servicing Fees, Liquidation Fees and Workout Fees relating to the Notes, and that in the event that the funds received with respect to each respective Note are insufficient to cover such Servicing Advances or additional trust fund expenses, (A) the Non-Lead Master Servicer will be required to, promptly following notice from the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, pay or reimburse the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, or the Lead Securitization Trust, as applicable, out of general collections in the collection account (or equivalent account) established under the Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement for the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s pro rata share of any such Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances (together with advance interest thereon) and/or additional trust fund expenses (including compensation due to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to the extent related to the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loan and the Mortgaged Property), and (B) if the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement permits the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee to reimburse itself from the Lead Securitization Trust’s general collections, then the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator or the Trustee, as applicable, may do so, and the Non-Lead Master Servicer will be required to, promptly following notice from the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee, reimburse the Lead Securitization Trust out of general collections in the collection account (or equivalent account) established under the Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement for the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s pro rata share of any such Nonrecoverable Servicing Advances (together with advance interest thereon) and/or additional trust fund expenses (including compensation due to the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to the extent related to the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loan and the Mortgaged Property);

 

(ii)           each of the Indemnified Parties shall be indemnified (as and to the same extent the Lead Securitization Trust is required to indemnify each of such Indemnified Parties in respect of other mortgage loans in the Lead Securitization Trust pursuant to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) by the Securitization Trust holding the Non-Lead Securitization Note, against any of the Indemnified Items to the extent of its pro rata share of such Indemnified Items, from amounts on deposit in the “Serviced Whole Loan Custodial Account”, and to the extent amounts on deposit in the “Serviced Whole Loan Custodial Account” are insufficient for reimbursement of such amounts, the Non-Lead Master Servicer will be required to reimburse each of the applicable Indemnified Parties for the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s pro rata share of the insufficiency out of general collections in the collection account (or equivalent account) established under the Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement;

 

(iii)          the Non-Lead Master Servicer will be required to deliver to the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Special Servicer, the Master Servicer and the Senior Trust Advisor (i) promptly following Securitization of the Non-Lead Securitization Note, notice of the deposit of the Non-Lead Securitization Note into a Securitization Trust

 

20
 

 

(which notice shall also provide contact information for the Non-Lead Trustee, the certificate administrator, the Non-Lead Master Servicer, the Non-Lead Special Servicer and the party designated to exercise the rights of the “Non-Controlling Note Holder” under this Agreement), accompanied by a certified copy of the executed Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and (ii) notice of any subsequent change in the identity of the Non-Lead Master Servicer or the party designated to exercise the rights of the “Non-Controlling Note Holder” under this Agreement (together with the relevant contact information); and

 

(iv)          the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Trustee and the Lead Securitization Trust shall be third party beneficiaries of the foregoing provisions.

 

(d)           Prior to Securitization of a Non-Lead Securitization Note (including any New Notes), all notices, reports, information or other deliverables required to be delivered to the related Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder or the related Non-Controlling Note Holder pursuant to this Agreement or the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement by the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) only need to be delivered to the related Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative and, when so delivered to such Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall be deemed to have satisfied its delivery obligations with respect to such items hereunder or under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. Following Securitization of a Non-Lead Securitization Note, all notices, reports, information or other deliverables required to be delivered to the related Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder or the related Non-Controlling Note Holder pursuant to this Agreement or the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement by the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall be delivered to the related Non-Lead Master Servicer and the related Non-Lead Special Servicer (who then may forward such items to the party entitled to receive such items as and to the extent provided in the related Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) and, when so delivered to such Non-Lead Master Servicer, such Non-Lead Special Servicer, the related certificate administrator and the related Non-Lead Securitization Subordinate Class Representative, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall be deemed to have satisfied its delivery obligations with respect to such items hereunder or under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.

 

Section 3.         Priority of Payments. Each Note shall be of equal priority, and no portion of any Note shall have priority or preference over any portion of any other Note or security therefor. All amounts tendered by the Mortgage Loan Borrower or otherwise available for payment on or with respect to or in connection with the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgaged Property or amounts realized as proceeds thereof, whether received in the form of Monthly Payments, the Balloon Payment, Liquidation Proceeds, proceeds under any guaranty, letter of credit or other collateral or instrument securing the Mortgage Loan, Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds (other than proceeds, awards or settlements to be applied to the restoration or repair of the Mortgaged Property or released to the Mortgage Loan Borrower in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents), but excluding (x) all amounts for required reserves or escrows required by the Mortgage Loan Documents (to the extent, in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents) to be held as reserves or escrows

 

21
 

 

or received as reimbursements on account of recoveries in respect of property protection expenses or Servicing Advances then due and payable or reimbursable to the Trustee or any Servicer under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and (y) all amounts that are then due, payable or reimbursable (except for (i) any reimbursement of P&I Advances (and interest thereon) made with respect to any Note which may only be reimbursed out of payments and collections allocable to such Note and (ii) any Servicing Fees due to the Master Servicer in excess of that portion of such Servicing Fees calculated at the Servicing Fee Rate applicable to the Non-Lead Securitization Note as set forth in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement which excess may only be paid out of payments and collections allocable to the Lead Securitization Note) to any Servicer, with respect to the Mortgage Loan pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (including without limitation, any additional Trust Fund expenses (other than interest on P&I Advances) relating to the Mortgage Loan (but subject to second paragraph of Section 5(d) hereof) reimbursable to, or payable by, such parties and any Special Servicing Fees, Liquidation Fees, Workout Fees, Penalty Charges (to the extent provided in the immediately following paragraph) and any other additional compensation payable pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement), shall be applied by the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or its designee) to the Notes on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis.

 

For clarification purposes, Penalty Charges (as defined in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) paid on each Note shall first, be used to reduce, on a pro rata basis, the amounts payable on each Note by the amount necessary to pay the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Special Servicer for any interest accrued on any Servicing Advances and reimbursement of any Servicing Advances in accordance with the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, second, be used to reduce the respective amounts payable on each Note by the amount necessary to pay the Master Servicer, Trustee, a Non-Lead Master Servicer or a Non-Lead Trustee for any interest accrued on any P&I Advance made with respect to such Note by such party (if and as specified in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement or a Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, as applicable), third, be used to reduce, on a pro rata basis, the amounts payable on each Note by the amount necessary to pay additional trust fund expenses (other than Special Servicing Fees, unpaid Workout Fees and Liquidation Fees) incurred with respect to the Mortgage Loan (as specified in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) and finally, be paid to the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer as additional servicing compensation as provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.

 

Section 4.         Workout. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, but subject to the terms and conditions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, and the obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard, if the Lead Securitization Note Holder, or any Servicer, in connection with a workout or proposed workout of the Mortgage Loan, modifies the terms thereof such that (i) the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan is decreased, (ii) the Interest Rate is reduced, (iii) payments of interest or principal on any Note are waived, reduced or deferred or (iv) any other adjustment is made to any of the payment terms of the Mortgage Loan, such modification shall not alter, and any modification of the Mortgage Loan Documents shall be structured to preserve, the equal priorities of each Note as described in Section 3.

 

Section 5.          Administration of the Mortgage Loan.

 

22
 

 

(a)           Subject to this Agreement (including but not limited to Section 5(c)) and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement and subject to the rights and consents, where required, of the Controlling Note Holder Representative, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder) shall have the sole and exclusive authority with respect to the administration of, and exercise of rights and remedies with respect to, the Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, the sole authority to modify or waive any of the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents or consent to any action or failure to act by the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any other party to the Mortgage Loan Documents, call or waive any Event of Default, accelerate the Mortgage Loan or institute any foreclosure action or other remedy, and no Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have any voting, consent or other rights whatsoever except as explicitly set forth herein with respect to the Lead Securitization Note Holder’s administration of, or exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to, the Mortgage Loan. Subject to this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, no Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have any right to, and hereby presently and irrevocably assigns and conveys to the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder) the rights, if any, that such Note Holder has to, (i) call or cause the Lead Securitization Note Holder to call an Event of Default under the Mortgage Loan, or (ii) exercise any remedies with respect to the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgage Loan Borrower, including, without limitation, filing or causing the Lead Securitization Note Holder to file any bankruptcy petition against the Mortgage Loan Borrower. The Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer or the Trustee acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder) shall not have any fiduciary duty to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with the administration of the Mortgage Loan (but the foregoing shall not relieve the Lead Securitization Note Holder from the obligation to make any disbursement of funds as set forth herein or its obligation to follow the Servicing Standard (in the case of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer) or any liability for failure to do so).

 

Each Note Holder hereby acknowledges the right and obligation of the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Special Servicer acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder), upon the Mortgage Loan becoming a Defaulted Mortgage Loan and the determination by the Special Servicer to sell the Lead Securitization Note in accordance with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, to sell the Notes together as notes evidencing one whole loan in accordance with the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. In connection with any such sale, the Special Servicer shall be required to sell the Notes together as notes evidencing one whole loan and shall require that all offers be submitted to the Certificate Administrator or Special Servicer, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement in writing. The Trustee (based upon updated Appraisals ordered by the Special Servicer and received by the Trustee (or ordered by the Trustee if the Special Servicer or any of its Affiliates is an Interested Person)) shall determine the fair price for the Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (in the manner set forth in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) if the highest offeror is an Interested Person, and any such determination by the Trustee shall be binding upon all parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Special Servicer acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder) shall not be permitted to sell the Mortgage Loan without the written consent of each Non-Controlling Note Holder (provided that such consent is not required if the

 

23
 

 

related Non-Controlling Note is held by the Mortgage Loan Borrower or an Affiliate of the Mortgage Loan Borrower) unless the Special Servicer has delivered to each Non-Controlling Note Holder: (a) at least 15 Business Days prior written notice of any decision to attempt to sell the Mortgage Loan; (b) at least 10 days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of each bid package (together with any material amendments to such bid packages) received by the Special Servicer in connection with any such proposed sale, (c) at least 10 days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of the most recent Appraisal for the Mortgage Loan, and any documents in the Servicing File reasonably requested by a Non-Controlling Note Holder that are material to the price of the Mortgage Loan and (d) until the sale is completed and a reasonable period of time (but no less time than is afforded to other offerors and the Lead Securitization Subordinate Class Representative) prior to the proposed sale date, all information and other documents being provided to other offerors and all leases or other documents that are approved by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in connection with the proposed sale; provided, however, that any Non-Controlling Note Holder may waive any delivery or timing requirements set forth in this sentence only for itself. Subject to the foregoing, each of the Controlling Note Holder, the Controlling Note Holder Representative, the Non-Controlling Note Holders and the Non-Controlling Note Holder Representatives shall be permitted to bid at any sale of the Mortgage Loan unless such Person is the Mortgage Loan Borrower or an agent or Affiliate of the Mortgage Loan Borrower.

 

Each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder hereby appoints the Lead Securitization Note Holder as their agent, and grants to the Lead Securitization Note Holder an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest, and its proxy, for the purpose of soliciting and accepting offers for and consummating the sale of the Non-Lead Securitization Notes. Each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder further agrees that, upon the request of the Lead Securitization Note Holder, such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall execute and deliver to or at the direction of Lead Securitization Note Holder such powers of attorney or other instruments as the Lead Securitization Note Holder may reasonably request to better assure and evidence the foregoing appointment and grant, in each case promptly following request, and shall deliver the related original Non-Lead Securitization Note, endorsed in blank, to or at the direction of the Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with the consummation of any such sale.

 

The authority of the Lead Securitization Note Holder to sell the Non-Lead Securitization Notes, and the obligations of the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holders to execute and deliver instruments or deliver the Non-Lead Securitization Note upon request of the Lead Securitization Note Holder, shall terminate and cease to be of any further force or effect upon the date, if any, upon which the Lead Securitization Note is repurchased by the Initial Note A-1-A Holder from the trust fund established under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement in connection with a material breach of representation or warranty made by the Initial Note A-1-A Holder with respect to the Lead Securitization Note or material document defect with respect to the documents delivered by the Initial Note A-1-A Holder with respect to Lead Securitization Note upon the consummation of the Lead Securitization. The preceding sentence shall not be construed to grant to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder the benefit of any representation or warranty made by the Initial Note A-1-A Holder or any document delivery obligation imposed on the Initial Note A-1-A Holder under any mortgage loan purchase and sale agreement, instrument of transfer or other document or instrument that

 

24
 

 

may be executed or delivered by the Initial Note A-1-A Holder in connection with the Lead Securitization.

 

(b)           The administration of the Mortgage Loan shall be governed by this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. The servicing of the Mortgage Loan shall be carried out by the Master Servicer and, if the Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan (or to the extent otherwise provided in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement), by the Special Servicer, in each case pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in accordance with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall cause the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the Servicing Standard taking into account the interests of each of the Note Holders as a collective whole. The Note Holders agree to be bound by the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. All rights and obligations of the Lead Securitization Note Holder described hereunder may be exercised by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and/or the Trustee on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder. The Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall not be amended in any manner that may adversely affect any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder in its capacity as a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder without such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s prior written consent. Each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder (unless it is the same Person as or an Affiliate of the Mortgage Loan Borrower) shall be a third-party beneficiary to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement with respect to its rights as specifically provided for therein.

 

(c)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall be required (i) to provide copies of any notice, information and report that it is required to provide to the Lead Securitization Subordinate Class Representative pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement with respect to any Major Decisions or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report relating to the Mortgage Loan, to each Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative), within the same time frame it is required to provide to the Lead Securitization Subordinate Class Representative (for this purpose, without regard to whether such items are actually required to be provided to the Lead Securitization Subordinate Class Representative under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement due to the occurrence and continuance of a Control Event or a Consultation Termination Event) and (ii) to consult with each Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) on a strictly non-binding basis, to the extent having received such notices, information and reports, such Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) requests consultation with respect to any such Major Decisions or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report relating to the Mortgage Loan, and consider alternative actions recommended by such Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative); provided that after the expiration of a period of ten (10) Business Days from the delivery to such Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) by the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) of written notice of a proposed action, together with copies of the notice, information and report required to be provided to the Lead Securitization Subordinate Class Representative, the Lead

 

25
 

 

Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall no longer be obligated to consult with such Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative), whether or not such Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) has responded within such ten (10) Business Day period (unless, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (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 ten (10) Business Day period shall be deemed to begin anew from the date of such proposal and delivery of all information relating thereto). Notwithstanding the consultation rights of each Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or Master Servicer or Special Servicer, acting on its behalf) may make any Major Decision or take any action set forth in the Asset Status Report before the expiration of the aforementioned ten (10) Business Day period if the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable) determines that immediate action with respect thereto is necessary to protect the interests of the Note Holders. In no event shall the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or Master Servicer or Special Servicer, acting on its behalf) be obligated at any time to follow or take any alternative actions recommended by any Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative).

 

In addition to the consultation rights of each Non-Controlling Note Holder (or its Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative) provided in the immediately preceding paragraph, each Non-Controlling Note Holder shall have the right to attend annual meetings (which may be held telephonically or in person, at the discretion of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable) with the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) at the offices of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, upon reasonable notice and at times reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in which servicing issues related to the Mortgage Loan are discussed; provided that such Non-Controlling Note Holder, at the request of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, shall execute a confidentiality agreement in form and substance satisfactory to it, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, and the Lead Securitization Note Holder.

 

(d)           If any Note is included as an asset of a real estate mortgage investment conduit (a “REMIC”), within the meaning of Section 860D(a) of the Code, then, any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding: (i) the Mortgage Loan shall be administered such that the Notes shall qualify at all times as (or as interests in) a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, (ii) any real property (and related personal property) acquired by or on behalf of the Note Holders pursuant to a foreclosure, exercise of a power of sale or delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure of the Mortgage or lien on such property following a default on the Mortgage Loan shall be administered so that the interest of the pro rata share of each Note Holder therein shall at all times qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code and (iii) no Servicer may modify, waive or amend any provision of the Mortgage Loan, consent to or withhold consent from any action of the Mortgage Loan Borrower, or exercise or refrain from exercising any powers or rights which the Note Holders may have under the Mortgage Loan Documents, if any such action would constitute a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan, within the

 

26
 

 

meaning of Section 1.860G-2(b) of the regulations of the United States Department of the Treasury, more than three (3) months after the startup day of the REMIC which includes any of the Notes (or any portion thereof). Each Note Holder agrees that the provisions of this paragraph shall be effected by the compliance with any REMIC provisions in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement relating to the administration of the Mortgage Loan.

 

Anything herein or in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if one of the Notes is included in a REMIC and another is not, such other Note Holder shall not be required to reimburse such Note Holder or any other Person for payment of (i) any taxes imposed on such REMIC, (ii) any costs or expenses relating to the administration of such REMIC or to any determination respecting the amount, payment or avoidance of any tax under such REMIC or (iii) any advances for any of the foregoing or any interest thereon or for deficits in other items of disbursement or income resulting from the use of funds for payment of any such taxes, costs or expenses or advances, nor shall any disbursement or payment otherwise distributable to the other Note Holder be reduced to offset or make-up any such payment or deficit.

 

Section 6.         Appointment of Controlling Note Holder Representative and Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative.

 

(a)           The Controlling Note Holder shall have the right at any time to appoint a representative in connection with the exercise of its rights and obligations with respect to the Mortgage Loan (the “Controlling Note Holder Representative”). The Controlling Note Holder shall have the right in its sole discretion at any time and from time to time to remove and replace the Controlling Note Holder Representative in accordance with the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. When exercising its various rights under Section 5 and elsewhere in this Agreement, the Controlling Note Holder may, at its option, in each case, act through the Controlling Note Holder Representative. The Controlling Note Holder Representative may be any Person (other than the Mortgage Loan Borrower, its principal or any Affiliate of the Mortgage Loan Borrower), including, without limitation, the Controlling Note Holder, any officer or employee of the Controlling Note Holder, any Affiliate of the Controlling Note Holder or any other unrelated third party. No such Controlling Note Holder Representative shall owe any fiduciary duty or other duty to any other Person (other than the Controlling Note Holder). All actions that are permitted to be taken by the Controlling Note Holder under this Agreement may be taken by the Controlling Note Holder Representative acting on behalf of the Controlling Note Holder. Any Servicer, Senior Trust Advisor, Trustee or Certificate Administrator acting on behalf of the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall not be required to recognize any Person as a Controlling Note Holder Representative until the Controlling Note Holder has notified the Servicer, Senior Trust Advisor, Trustee and Certificate Administrator of such appointment and, if the Controlling Note Holder Representative is not the same Person as the Controlling Note Holder, the Controlling Note Holder Representative provides any Servicer, Senior Trust Advisor, Trustee and Certificate Administrator with written confirmation of its acceptance of such appointment, an address and telecopy number for the delivery of notices and other correspondence and a list of officers or employees of such person with whom the parties to this Agreement may deal (including their names, titles, work addresses and telecopy numbers). The Controlling Note Holder shall promptly deliver such information to any Servicer, Senior Trust Advisor, Trustee and Certificate Administrator. So

long as no Consultation Termination Event (including any such deemed event) is in effect, pursuant to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the Controlling Note Holder Representative shall be the Lead Securitization Subordinate Class Representative.

 

(b)           Neither the Controlling Note Holder Representative nor the Controlling Note Holder will have any liability to the other Note Holders or any other Person for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action or the giving of any consent or the failure to give any consent pursuant to this Agreement or the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, or errors in judgment, absent any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence. The Note Holders agree that the Controlling Note Holder Representative and the Controlling Note Holder (whether acting in place of the Controlling Note Holder Representative when no Controlling Note Holder Representative shall have been appointed hereunder or otherwise exercising any right, power or privilege granted to the Controlling Note Holder hereunder) may take or refrain from taking actions, or give or refrain from giving consents, that favor the interests of one Note Holder over the other Note Holder, and that the Controlling Note Holder Representative may have special relationships and interests that conflict with the interests of a Note Holder and, absent willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of the Controlling Note Holder Representative or the Controlling Note Holder, as the case may be, agree to take no action against the Controlling Note Holder Representative, the Controlling Note Holder or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, principals or agents as a result of such special relationships or interests, and that neither the Controlling Note Holder Representative nor the Controlling Note Holder will be deemed to have been grossly negligent or reckless, or to have acted in bad faith or engaged in willful misfeasance or to have recklessly disregarded any exercise of its rights by reason of its having acted or refrained from acting, or having given any consent or having failed to give any consent, solely in the interests of any Note Holder.

 

(c)           Each Non-Controlling Note Holder shall have the right at any time to appoint a representative in connection with the exercise of its rights and obligations with respect to the Mortgage Loan (a “Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative”). All of the provisions relating to Controlling Note Holder and the Controlling Note Holder Representative set forth in Section 6(a) (except those contained in the last sentence thereof) and Section 6(b) shall apply to each Non-Controlling Note Holder and any related Non-Controlling Note Holder Representative mutatis mutandis.

 

(d)           The Controlling Note Holder shall be entitled to exercise the rights and powers granted to the Controlling Note Holder hereunder and the rights and powers granted to the “Directing Certificateholder” or similar party under, and as defined in, the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement with respect to the Mortgage Loan. In addition, the Controlling Note Holder shall be entitled to advise (1) the Special Servicer with respect to all matters related to a “Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan” (as defined in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) and (2) the Special Servicer with respect to all matters for which the Master Servicer must obtain the consent or deemed consent of the Special Servicer, and, except as set forth below (i) the Master Servicer shall not be permitted to implement any Major Decision unless it has obtained the prior written consent of the Special Servicer and (ii) the Special Servicer shall not be permitted to consent to the Master Servicer’s implementing any Major Decision nor will the Special Servicer itself be permitted to implement any Major

Decision as to which, the Controlling Note Holder has objected in writing within ten (10) Business Days (or thirty (30) days in connection with an Acceptable Insurance Default) after receipt of the written recommendation and analysis and such additional information requested by the Controlling Note Holder as may be necessary in the reasonable judgment of the Controlling Note Holder in order to make a judgment with respect to such Major Decision. The Controlling Note Holder may also direct the Special Servicer to take, or to refrain from taking, such other actions with respect to the Mortgage Loan as the Controlling Note Holder may deem advisable.

 

If the Controlling Note Holder fails to notify the Special Servicer of its approval or disapproval of any proposed Major Decision within ten (10) Business Days (or thirty (30) days in connection with an Acceptable Insurance Default) after delivery to the Controlling Note Holder by the applicable Servicer of written notice of a proposed Major Decision (which notice shall contain a legend, in conspicuous boldface type, substantially similar to the following: “THIS IS A REQUEST FOR ACTION APPROVAL. IF THE CONTROLLING NOTE HOLDER FAILS TO APPROVE OR DISAPPROVE THE ENCLOSED ACTION WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS (OR, IN CONNECTION WITH AN ACCEPTABLE INSURANCE DEFAULT, THIRTY (30) DAYS), SUCH ACTION MAY BE DEEMED APPROVED”) together with any information requested by the Controlling Note Holder as may be necessary in the reasonable judgment of the Controlling Note Holder in order to make a judgment, then upon the expiration of such ten (10) Business Day period (or, in connection with an Acceptable Insurance Default, thirty (30) day period), such Major Decision shall be deemed to have been approved by the Controlling Note Holder.

 

In the event that the Special Servicer or Master Servicer (in the event the Master Servicer is otherwise authorized by the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement to take such action), as applicable, determines that immediate action, with respect to the foregoing matters, or any other matter requiring consent of the Controlling Note Holder is necessary to protect the interests of the Note Holders (as a collective whole) and the Special Servicer has made a reasonable effort to contact the Controlling Note Holder, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may take any such action without waiting for the Controlling Note Holder’s response.

 

No objection, direction, consent, advice or consultation contemplated by the preceding paragraphs of this Section 6(d) or elsewhere in this Agreement may require or cause the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to violate any provision of the Mortgage Loan Documents, applicable law, the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, this Agreement or the REMIC provisions of the Code, be inconsistent with the Master Servicer or Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard or materially expand the scope of responsibilities of any of the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable. The Controlling Note Holder shall have no liability to the other Note Holders or any other party for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action or the giving of any consent or the failure to give any consent pursuant to this Agreement or the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement or errors in judgment, absent any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence. The Note Holders agree that the Controlling Note Holder may take or refrain from taking actions, or give or refrain from giving consents, that favor the interests of one Note Holder over the other Note Holders,

 

29
 

 

and that the Controlling Note Holder may have special relationships and interests that conflict with the interests of another Note Holder and, absent willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of the Controlling Note Holder agree to take no action against the Controlling Note Holder or any of its officers, directors, employees, principals or agents as a result of such special relationships or interests, and that the Controlling Note Holder shall not be deemed to have been grossly negligent or reckless, or to have acted in bad faith or engaged in willful misconduct or to have recklessly disregarded any exercise of its rights by reason of its having acted or refrained from acting or having given any consent or having failed to give any consent, solely in the interests of any Note Holder.

 

Section 7.        Appointment of Special Servicer. Subject to the terms of, and conditions and requirements set forth in, the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the Controlling Note Holder (or its Controlling Note Holder Representative) shall have the right at any time and from time to time, with or without cause, to replace the Special Servicer then acting with respect to the Mortgage Loan and appoint a replacement Special Servicer in lieu thereof. Any designation by the Controlling Note Holder (or its Controlling Note Holder Representative) of a Person to serve as Special Servicer shall be made by delivering to the other Note Holder, the Master Servicer, the then existing Special Servicer and other parties to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement a written notice stating such designation and satisfying the other conditions to such replacement as set forth in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (including, without limitation, a Rating Agency Confirmation, if required by the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) and delivering to each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to any rated securities issued in a Non-Lead Securitization, in each case if applicable. The Controlling Note Holder shall be solely responsible for any expenses incurred in connection with any such replacement without cause. The Controlling Note Holder shall notify the other parties hereto of its termination of the then currently serving Special Servicer and its appointment of a replacement Special Servicer in accordance with this Section 7. If the Controlling Note Holder has not appointed a Special Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan as of the consummation of the securitization under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, then the initial Special Servicer designated in the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall serve as the initial Special Servicer but this shall not limit the right of the Controlling Note Holder (or its Controlling Note Holder Representative) to designate a replacement Special Servicer for the Mortgage Loan as aforesaid. If a Servicer Termination Event on the part of the Special Servicer has occurred that affects a Non-Controlling Note Holder, such Non-Controlling Note Holder shall have the right to direct the Trustee (or at any time that the Mortgage Loan is no longer included in a Securitization Trust, the Controlling Note Holder) to terminate the Special Servicer under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (or at any time that the Mortgage Loan is no longer subject to the provisions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the successor servicing agreement pursuant to which the Mortgage Loan is being serviced) solely with respect to the Mortgage Loan pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (or at any time that the Mortgage Loan is no longer subject to the provisions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, the successor servicing agreement pursuant to which the Mortgage Loan is being serviced). The Controlling Note Holder and the Non-Controlling Note Holders acknowledge and agree that any successor special servicer appointed to replace the Special Servicer with respect to the Mortgage Loan that was terminated for cause at a Non-Controlling Note Holder’s direction cannot at any time be the person (or an Affiliate thereof) that was so terminated without the prior

 

30
 

 

written consent of such Non-Controlling Note Holder. The Non-Controlling Note Holder that directs the Trustee (or at any time that the Mortgage Loan is no longer included in a Securitization Trust, the Controlling Note Holder) to terminate the Special Servicer shall be solely responsible for reimbursing the Trustee’s or the Controlling Note Holder’s, as applicable, costs and expenses, if not paid within a reasonable time by the terminated special servicer and, in the case of the Trustee, that would otherwise be reimbursed to the Trustee from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.

 

Section 8.         Payment Procedure.

 

(a)           The Lead Securitization Note Holder, in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 3 and subject to the terms of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, shall deposit or cause to be deposited all payments allocable to the Notes into the Serviced Whole Loan Custodial Account pursuant to and in accordance with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. The Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer acting on its behalf) shall deposit such amounts to the applicable account within two (2) Business Days after receipt of properly identified funds by the Lead Securitization Note Holder (or the Master Servicer acting on its behalf) from or on behalf of the Mortgage Loan Borrower. The Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement shall provide that all amounts on deposit in the Serviced Whole Loan Custodial Account on a Remittance Date allocable under this Agreement to a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall be deposited or credited on the Remittance Date for such Non-Lead Securitization by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified by such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder.

 

(b)           If the Lead Securitization Note Holder determines, or a court of competent jurisdiction orders, at any time that any amount received or collected in respect of any Note must, pursuant to any insolvency, bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance, preference or similar law, be returned to the Mortgage Loan Borrower or paid to the Lead Securitization Note Holder, a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder or any Servicer or paid to any other Person, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall not be required to distribute any portion thereof to the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holders and each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall promptly on demand by the Lead Securitization Note Holder repay to the Lead Securitization Note Holder any portion thereof that the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have theretofore distributed to such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder, together with interest thereon at such rate, if any, as the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have been required to pay to any Mortgage Loan Borrower, Master Servicer, Special Servicer or such other Person with respect thereto.

 

(c)           If, for any reason, the Lead Securitization Note Holder makes any payment to a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder before the Lead Securitization Note Holder has received the corresponding payment (it being understood that the Lead Securitization Note Holder is under no obligation to do so), and the Lead Securitization Note Holder does not receive the corresponding payment within five (5) Business Days of its payment to the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder, such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall, at the Lead Securitization Note Holder’s request, promptly return that payment to the Lead Securitization Note Holder.

 

31
 

 

(d)           Each Note Holder agrees that if at any time it shall receive from any sources whatsoever any payment on account of the Mortgage Loan in excess of its distributable share thereof, it shall promptly remit such excess to the applicable Note Holder, subject to this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. The Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have the right to offset any amounts due hereunder from a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder with respect to the Mortgage Loan against any future payments due to such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder under the Mortgage Loan. Such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s obligations under this Section 8 constitute absolute, unconditional and continuing obligations.

 

Section 9.         Limitation on Liability of the Note Holders. Each Note Holder shall have no liability to any other Note Holder with respect to its Note except with respect to losses actually suffered due to the negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement on the part of such Note Holder.

 

The Note Holders acknowledge that, subject to the obligation of the Lead Securitization Note Holder (including any Servicer and the Trustee) to comply with, and except as otherwise required by, the Servicing Standard, the Lead Securitization Note Holder (including any Servicer and the Trustee) may exercise, or omit to exercise, any rights that the Lead Securitization Note Holder may have under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement in a manner that may be adverse to the interests of any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder and that the Lead Securitization Note Holder (including any Servicer and the Trustee) shall have no liability whatsoever to any Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with the Lead Securitization Note Holder’s exercise of rights or any omission by the Lead Securitization Note Holder to exercise such rights other than as described above; provided, however, that the Servicer must act in accordance with the Servicing Standard and the express terms of this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement.

 

Section 10.       Bankruptcy. Subject to Section 5(c), each Note Holder hereby covenants and agrees that only the Lead Securitization Note Holder has the right to institute, file, commence, acquiesce, petition under Bankruptcy Code Section 303 or otherwise or join any Person in any such petition or otherwise invoke or cause any other Person to invoke an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to or against the Mortgage Loan Borrower or seek to appoint a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official with respect to the Mortgage Loan Borrower or all or any part of its property or assets or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of the affairs of the Mortgage Loan Borrower. Each Note Holder further agrees that only the Lead Securitization Note Holder, and not the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holders, can make any election, give any consent, commence any action or file any motion, claim, obligation, notice or application or take any other action in any case by or against the Mortgage Loan Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or in any other Insolvency Proceeding. The Note Holders hereby appoint the Lead Securitization Note Holder as their agent, and grant to the Lead Securitization Note Holder an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest, and their proxy, for the purpose of exercising any and all rights and taking any and all actions available to the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holders in connection with any case by or against the Mortgage Loan Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or in any other Insolvency Proceeding, including, without limitation, the right to file and/or prosecute any claim, vote to accept or reject a plan, to make any election under Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy

 

32
 

 

Code with respect to the Mortgage Loan, and to file a motion to modify, lift or terminate the automatic stay with respect to the Mortgage Loan. The Note Holders hereby agree that, upon the request of the Lead Securitization Note Holder, each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Lead Securitization Note Holder all and every such further deeds, conveyances and instruments as the Lead Securitization Note Holder may reasonably request for the better assuring and evidencing of the foregoing appointment and grant. All actions taken by the Servicer in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding are subject to and must be in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

 

Section 11.       Representations of the Note Holders. Each Note Holder represents and warrants that the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement is within its corporate powers, has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and does not contravene such Note Holder’s charter or any law or contractual restriction binding upon such Note Holder, and that this Agreement is the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Note Holder enforceable against such Note Holder in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), and except that the enforcement of rights with respect to indemnification and contribution obligations may be limited by applicable law. Each Note Holder represents and warrants that it is duly organized, validly existing, in good standing and in possession of all licenses and authorizations necessary to carry on its business. Each Note Holder represents and warrants that (a) this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Note Holder, (b) to such Note Holder’s actual knowledge, all consents, approvals, authorizations, orders or filings of or with any court or governmental agency or body, if any, required for the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by such Note Holder have been obtained or made and (c) to such Note Holder’s actual knowledge, there is no pending action, suit or proceeding, arbitration or governmental investigation against such Note Holder, an adverse outcome of which would materially and adversely affect its performance under this Agreement.

 

Section 12.       No Creation of a Partnership or Exclusive Purchase Right. Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action taken pursuant hereto shall be deemed to constitute the relationship created hereby between the Note Holders as a partnership, association, joint venture or other entity. No Note Holder shall have any obligation whatsoever to offer to any other Note Holder the opportunity to purchase a participation interest in any future loans originated by such Note Holder or its Affiliates and if any Note Holder chooses to offer to any other Note Holder the opportunity to purchase a participation interest in any future mortgage loans originated by such Note Holder or its Affiliates, such offer shall be at such purchase price and interest rate as such Note Holder chooses, in its sole and absolute discretion. No Note Holder shall have any obligation whatsoever to purchase from any other Note Holder a participation interest in any future loans originated by such Note Holder or its Affiliates.

 

Section 13.       Other Business Activities of the Note Holders. Each Note Holder acknowledges that the other Note Holder or its Affiliates may make loans or otherwise extend credit to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Affiliate thereof, any entity that is a holder of debt secured by direct or indirect ownership interests in the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any entity that is a holder of a preferred equity

 

33
 

 

interest in the Mortgage Loan Borrower (each, a “Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party”), and receive payments on such other loans or extensions of credit to Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Parties and otherwise act with respect thereto freely and without accountability in the same manner as if this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby were not in effect.

 

Section 14.        Sale of the Notes.

 

(a)           Except with the consents contemplated by the second following sentence, each Note Holder agrees that it will not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, syndicate, hypothecate, contribute, encumber or otherwise dispose of all or any portion of its respective Note (a “Transfer”) except to a Qualified Institutional Lender. Promptly after the Transfer, each non-transferring Note Holder shall be provided with (x) a representation from a transferee or the applicable Note Holder certifying that such transferee is a Qualified Institutional Lender (except in the case of a Transfer in accordance with the immediately following sentence) and (y) a copy of the assignment and assumption agreement referred to in Section 15. If a Note Holder intends to Transfer its respective Note, or any portion thereof, to an entity that is not a Qualified Institutional Lender, it must first obtain the written consent of each non-transferring Note Holder or, if such non-transferring Note Holder’s Note is held in a Securitization Trust, obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation from each of the applicable engaged Rating Agencies for such Securitization Trust. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without each non-transferring Note Holder’s prior written consent (which will not be unreasonably withheld), and, if such non-transferring Note Holder’s Note is held in a Securitization Trust, without a Rating Agency Confirmation from each of the applicable engaged Rating Agencies for such Securitization, no Note Holder shall Transfer all or any portion of its Note (or a participation interest in such Note) to the Mortgage Loan Borrower or a Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party and any such Transfer shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee. The transferring Note Holder agrees that it shall pay the expenses of each non-transferring Note Holder (including all expenses of the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer and the Trustee) and all expenses relating to obtaining Rating Agency Confirmation in connection with any such Transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Note Holder shall have the right, without receipt of Rating Agency Confirmation and without the need to obtain the consent of the other Note Holders or any other Person, to Transfer 49% or less (in the aggregate) of its beneficial interest in a Note. None of the provisions of this Section 14(a) shall apply in the case of (1) a sale of all of the Notes together, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement or (2) a transfer by the Special Servicer, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, of the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgaged Property, upon the Mortgage Loan becoming a Defaulted Mortgage Loan, to a single member limited liability or limited partnership, 100% of the equity interest in which is owned directly or indirectly, through one or more single member limited liability companies or limited partnerships, by the Lead Securitization Trust.

 

(b)           In the case of any Transfer of a participation interest in any of the Notes, (i) the respective Note Holders’ obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Note Holders shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Lead Securitization Note Holder and any Persons acting on its behalf shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Note Holder in connection with such Note Holder’s rights

 

34
 

 

and obligations under this Agreement and the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, and all amounts payable hereunder shall be determined as if such Note Holder had not sold such participation interest.

 

(c)           Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, any Note Holder may pledge (a “Pledge”) its Note to any entity (other than the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Affiliate thereof) which has extended a credit facility to such Note Holder and that is either a Qualified Institutional Lender or a financial institution whose long-term unsecured debt is rated at least “A” (or the equivalent) or better by each Rating Agency (or, if not rated by an applicable Rating Agency, an equivalent (or higher) rating from any two of Fitch, Moody’s and S&P) (a “Note Pledgee”), on terms and conditions set forth in this Section 14(c), it being further agreed that a financing provided by a Note Pledgee to a Note Holder or any person which Controls such Note that is secured by its Note and is structured as a repurchase arrangement, shall qualify as a “Pledge” hereunder, provided that a Note Pledgee which is not a Qualified Institutional Lender, may not take title to the pledged Note without a Rating Agency Confirmation. Upon written notice by the applicable Note Holder to any other Note Holder and any Servicer that a Pledge has been effected (including the name and address of the applicable Note Pledgee), such other Note Holder agrees to acknowledge receipt of such notice and thereafter agrees: (i) to give Note Pledgee written notice of any default by the pledging Note Holder in respect of its obligations under this Agreement of which default such Note Holder has actual knowledge; (ii) to allow such Note Pledgee a period of ten (10) days to cure a default by the pledging Note Holder in respect of its obligations to any other Note Holder hereunder, but such Note Pledgee shall not be obligated to cure any such default; (iii) that no amendment, modification, waiver or termination of this Agreement shall be effective against such Note Pledgee without the written consent of such Note Pledgee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; (iv) that such other Note Holder shall give to such Note Pledgee copies of any notice of default under this Agreement simultaneously with the giving of same to the pledging Note Holder; (v) that such other Note Holder shall deliver to Note Pledgee such estoppel certificate(s) as Note Pledgee shall reasonably request, provided that any such certificate(s) shall be in a form reasonably satisfactory to such other Note Holder; and (vi) that, upon written notice (a “Redirection Notice”) to the other Note Holders and any Servicer by such Note Pledgee that the pledging Note Holder is in default, beyond any applicable cure periods, under the pledging Note Holder’s obligations to such Note Pledgee pursuant to the applicable credit agreement between the pledging Note Holder and such Note Pledgee (which notice need not be joined in or confirmed by the pledging Note Holder), and until such Redirection Notice is withdrawn or rescinded by such Note Pledgee, Note Pledgee shall be entitled to receive any payments that any Note Holder or Servicer would otherwise be obligated to pay to the pledging Note Holder from time to time pursuant to this Agreement or the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. Any pledging Note Holder hereby unconditionally and absolutely releases the other Note Holders and any Servicer from any liability to the pledging Note Holder on account of such other Note Holder’s or Servicer’s compliance with any Redirection Notice believed by any Servicer or such other Note Holder to have been delivered by a Note Pledgee. Note Pledgee shall be permitted to exercise fully its rights and remedies against the pledging Note Holder to such Note Pledgee (and accept an assignment in lieu of foreclosure as to such collateral), in accordance with applicable law and this Agreement. In such event, the Note Holders and any Servicer shall recognize such Note Pledgee (and any transferee other than the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Affiliate thereof

 

35
 

 

which is also a Qualified Institutional Lender at any foreclosure or similar sale held by such Note Pledgee or any transfer in lieu of foreclosure), and its successor and assigns, as the successor to the pledging Note Holder’s rights, remedies and obligations under this Agreement, and any such Note Pledgee or Qualified Institutional Lender shall assume in writing the obligations of the pledging Note Holder hereunder accruing from and after such Transfer (i.e., realization upon the collateral by such Note Pledgee) and agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The rights of a Note Pledgee under this Section 14(c) shall remain effective as to any Note Holder (and any Servicer) unless and until such Note Pledgee shall have notified any such Note Holder (and any Servicer, as applicable) in writing that its interest in the pledged Note has terminated.

 

(d)           Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if a conduit (“Conduit”) which is not a Qualified Institutional Lender provides financing to a Note Holder then such Note Holder shall have the right to grant a security interest in its Note to such Conduit notwithstanding that such Conduit is not a Qualified Institutional Lender, if the following conditions are satisfied:

 

(i)            The loan (the “Conduit Inventory Loan”) made by the Conduit to such Note Holder to finance the acquisition and holding of its Note requires a third party (the “Conduit Credit Enhancer”) to provide credit enhancement;

 

(ii)           The Conduit Credit Enhancer is a Qualified Institutional Lender;

 

(iii)          Such Note Holder pledges its interest in its Note to the Conduit as collateral for the Conduit Inventory Loan;

 

(iv)          The Conduit Credit Enhancer and the Conduit agree that, if such Note Holder defaults under the Conduit Inventory Loan, or if the Conduit is unable to refinance its outstanding commercial paper even if there is no default by such Note Holder, the Conduit Credit Enhancer will purchase the Conduit Inventory Loan from the Conduit, and the Conduit will assign the pledge of such Note Holder’s Note to the Conduit Credit Enhancer; and

 

(v)           Unless the Conduit is in fact then a Qualified Institutional Lender, the Conduit will not without obtaining a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency have any greater right to acquire the interests in the Note pledged by such Note Holder, by foreclosure or otherwise, than would any other purchaser that is not a Qualified Institutional Lender at a foreclosure sale conducted by a Note Pledgee.

 

Section 15.       Registration of the Notes and Each Note Holder. The Agent shall keep or cause to be kept at the Agent Office books (the “Note Register”) for the registration and transfer of the Notes. The Agent shall serve as the initial note registrar and the Agent hereby accepts such appointment. The names and addresses of the holders of the Notes and the names and addresses of any transferee of any Note of which the Agent has received notice, in the form of a copy of the assignment and assumption agreement referred to in this Section 15, shall be registered in the Note Register. The Person in whose name a Note is so registered shall be deemed and treated as the sole owner and holder thereof for all purposes of this Agreement.

 

36
 

 

Upon request of a Note Holder, the Agent shall provide such party with the names and addresses of the other Note Holder. To the extent the Trustee or another party is appointed as Agent hereunder, each Note Holder hereby designates such person as its agent under this Section 15 solely for purposes of maintaining the Note Register.

 

In connection with any Transfer of a Note (but excluding any Pledgee unless and until it realizes on its Pledge), a transferee shall execute an assignment and assumption agreement (unless the transferee is a Securitization Trust and the related pooling and servicing agreement requires the parties thereto to comply with this Agreement), whereby such transferee assumes all of the obligations of the applicable Note Holder hereunder with respect to such Note thereafter accruing and agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, including the applicable restriction on Transfers set forth in Section 14, from and after the date of such assignment. No transfer of a Note may be made unless it is registered on the Note Register, and the Agent shall not recognize any attempted or purported transfer of any Note in violation of the provisions of Section 14 and this Section 15. Any such purported transfer shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee. Each Note Holder desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Agent and the other Note Holders against any liability that may result if the transfer is not made in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

 

Section 16.       Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial. THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT, AND/OR THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS AND DECISIONS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CHOICE OF LAW RULES THEREOF (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW). EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT.

 

Section 17.        Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

 

(a)           SUBMITS FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR FOR RECOGNITION AND ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT IN RESPECT THEREOF, TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE GENERAL JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, THE FEDERAL COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND APPELLATE COURTS FROM ANY THEREOF;

 

(b)           CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE BROUGHT IN SUCH COURTS AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT

 

37
 

 

SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT COURT AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME;

 

(c)           AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE EFFECTED BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL (OR ANY SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR FORM OF MAIL), POSTAGE PREPAID, TO ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH HEREIN OR AT SUCH OTHER ADDRESS OF WHICH A PARTY HEREIN SHALL HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED; AND

Section 25.    Withholding Taxes. (a) If the Lead Securitization Note Holder or the Mortgage Loan Borrower shall be required by law to deduct and withhold Taxes from interest, fees or other amounts payable to a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder with respect to the Mortgage Loan as a result of such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder constituting a Non-Exempt Person, the Lead Securitization Note Holder, in its capacity as servicer, shall be entitled to do so with respect to such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder’s interest in such payment (all withheld amounts being deemed paid to such Note Holder), provided that the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall furnish such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder with a statement setting forth the amount of Taxes withheld, the applicable rate and other information which may reasonably be requested for purposes of assisting such Note Holder to seek any allowable credits or deductions for the Taxes so withheld in each jurisdiction in which such Note Holder is subject to tax.

 

(b)           Each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall and hereby agrees to indemnify the Lead Securitization Note Holder against and hold the Lead Securitization Note Holder harmless from and against any Taxes, interest, penalties and attorneys’ fees and disbursements arising or resulting from any failure of the Lead Securitization Note Holder to withhold Taxes from payment made to such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder in reliance upon any representation, certificate, statement, document or instrument made or provided by such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder to the Lead Securitization Note Holder in connection with the obligation of the Lead Securitization Note Holder to withhold Taxes from payments made to such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder, it being expressly understood and agreed that (i) the Lead Securitization Note Holder shall be absolutely and unconditionally entitled to accept any such representation, certificate, statement, document or instrument as being true and correct in all respects and to fully rely thereon without any obligation or

 

39
 

 

responsibility to investigate or to make any inquiries with respect to the accuracy, veracity, correctness or validity of the same and (ii) such Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder, upon request of the Lead Securitization Note Holder and at its sole cost and expense, shall defend any claim or action relating to the foregoing indemnification using counsel selected by the Lead Securitization Note Holder.

 

(c)           Each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder represents to the Lead Securitization Note Holder (for the benefit of the Mortgage Loan Borrower) that it is not a Non-Exempt Person and that neither the Lead Securitization Note Holder nor the Mortgage Loan Borrower is obligated under applicable law to withhold Taxes on sums paid to it with respect to the Mortgage Loan or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement. Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement and from time to time as necessary during the term of this Agreement, each Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall deliver to the Lead Securitization Note Holder or Servicer, as applicable and upon written request, evidence satisfactory to the Lead Securitization Note Holder substantiating that such Note Holder is not a Non-Exempt Person and that the Lead Securitization Note Holder is not obligated under applicable law to withhold Taxes on sums paid to it with respect to the Mortgage Loan or otherwise under this Agreement. Without limiting the effect of the foregoing, (i) if a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder is created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, it shall satisfy the requirements of the preceding sentence by furnishing to the Lead Securitization Note Holder an Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 and (ii) if a Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder is not created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, and if the payment of interest or other amounts by the Mortgage Loan Borrower is treated for United States income tax purposes as derived in whole or part from sources within the United States, such Note Holder shall satisfy the requirements of the preceding sentence by furnishing to the Lead Securitization Note Holder Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8IMY (with appropriate attachments), Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E, or successor forms, as may be required from time to time, duly executed by such Note Holder, as evidence of such Note Holder’s exemption from the withholding of United States tax with respect thereto. The Lead Securitization Note Holder shall not be obligated to make any payment hereunder with respect to a Non-Lead Securitization Note or otherwise until the related Non-Lead Securitization Note Holder shall have furnished to the Lead Securitization Note Holder the above required forms, certificates, statements or documents.

 

Section 26.       Custody of Mortgage Loan Documents. The originals of all of the Mortgage Loan Documents (other than the Non-Lead Securitization Notes) (a) prior to the Lead Securitization will be held by the Initial Agent and (b) after the Lead Securitization, will be held by the Lead Securitization Note Holder (in the name of the Trustee and held by a duly appointed custodian therefor in accordance with the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement), in each case, on behalf of the registered holders of the Notes.

 

Section 27.        Cooperation in Securitization.

 

(a)           Each Note Holder acknowledges that any Note Holder may elect, in its sole discretion, to include its Note in a Securitization. In connection with a Securitization and subject to the terms of the preceding sentence, at the request of the related Securitizing Note

 

40
 

 

Holder, each related Non-Securitizing Note Holder shall use reasonable efforts, at such Securitizing Note Holder’s expense, to satisfy, and to cooperate with such Securitizing Note Holder in attempting to cause the Mortgage Loan Borrower to satisfy, the market standards to which such Securitizing Note Holder customarily adheres or that may be reasonably required in the marketplace or by the Rating Agencies or applicable law in connection with such Securitization, including, entering into (or consenting to, as applicable) any modifications to this Agreement or the Mortgage Loan Documents and to cooperate with such Securitizing Note Holder in attempting to cause the Mortgage Loan Borrower to execute such modifications to the Mortgage Loan Documents, in any such case, as may be required by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Rating Agencies or prospective investors to effect such Securitization; provided, however, that no Non-Securitizing Note Holder shall be required to modify or amend this Agreement or any Mortgage Loan Documents (or consent to such modification, as applicable) in connection therewith, if such modification or amendment would (i) change the interest allocable to, or the amount of any payments due to or priority of such payments to, such Non-Securitizing Note Holder or (ii) materially increase such Non-Securitizing Note Holder’s obligations or materially decrease such Non-Securitizing Note Holder’s rights, remedies or protections. In connection with any Securitization, each related Non-Securitizing Note Holder shall provide for inclusion in any disclosure document relating to such Securitization such information concerning such Non-Securitizing Note Holder and its Note as the related Securitizing Note Holder reasonably determines to be necessary or appropriate, and such Non-Securitizing Note Holder shall, at such Securitizing Note Holder’s expense, cooperate with the reasonable requests of each Rating Agency and such Securitizing Note Holder in connection with such Securitization (including, without limitation, reasonably cooperating with such Securitizing Note Holder (without any obligation to make additional representations and warranties) to enable such Securitizing Note Holder to make all necessary certifications and deliver all necessary opinions (including customary securities law opinions) in connection with the Mortgage Loan and such Securitization), as well as in connection with all other matters and the preparation of any offering documents thereof and to review and respond reasonably promptly with respect to any information relating to such Note Holder and its Note in any Securitization document. Each Note Holder acknowledges that in connection with any Securitization, the information provided by it in its capacity as a Non-Securitizing Note Holder to the related Securitizing Note Holder may be incorporated into the offering documents for such Securitization. Each Securitizing Note Holder and each Rating Agency shall be entitled to rely on the information supplied by, or on behalf of, each Non-Securitizing Note Holder.

 

(b)           The holder of any Note that will, upon Securitization, be the Lead Securitization Note shall give each of the other Note Holders and parties to any Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (that are not also parties to the proposed Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement) notice of the Securitization of the Lead Securitization Note in writing (which may be by e-mail) not less than 5 business days prior to the applicable pricing date for the Securitization of such Note. Such notice shall contain contact information for each of the parties to the proposed Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the holder of the Note that will, upon Securitization, be the Lead Securitization Note shall send each distributed draft of the proposed Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement to each of the other Note Holders and parties to any Non-Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (that are not also parties to the proposed Lead

 

41
 

 

Securitization Servicing Agreement) and shall send copies of the offering documents (prior to printing or filing thereof) related to the Securitization of such Note to each of the other Note Holders and the Non-Lead Securitization Note Holders shall have a reasonable opportunity to comment thereon.

 

Section 28.       Notices. All notices required hereunder shall be given by (i) facsimile transmission (during business hours) if the sender on the same day sends a confirming copy of such notice by reputable overnight delivery service (charges prepaid), (ii) reputable overnight delivery service (charges prepaid) or (iii) certified United States mail, postage prepaid return receipt requested, and addressed to the respective parties at their addresses set forth on Exhibit B hereto, or at such other address as any party shall hereafter inform the other party by written notice given as aforesaid. All written notices so given shall be deemed effective upon receipt.

 

Section 29.        Broker. Each Note Holder represents to each other that no broker was responsible for bringing about this transaction.

 

Section 30.        Certain Matters Affecting the Agent.

 

(a)           The Agent may request and/or rely upon and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any officer’s certificate or assignment and assumption agreement delivered to the Agent pursuant to Section 14 and Section 15;

 

(b)           The Agent may consult with counsel and any opinion of counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such opinion of counsel;

 

(c)           The Agent shall be under no obligation to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction of any Note Holder pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless it has received indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it;

 

(d)           The Agent or any of its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, agents or “control” persons within the meaning of the Act, shall not be personally liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and reasonably believed by the Agent to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement;

 

(e)           The Agent shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any officer’s certificate or assignment and assumption agreement delivered to the Agent pursuant to Section 15;

 

(f)            The Agent may execute any of the powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys but shall not be relieved of its obligations hereunder; and

 

(g)           The Agent represents and warrants that it is a Qualified Institutional Lender.

 

42
 

 

Section 31.       Resignation of Agent. The Agent may resign at any time on ten (10) days’ prior notice, so long as a successor Agent, reasonably satisfactory to the Note Holders (it being agreed that a Servicer, the Trustee or a Certificate Administrator in a Securitization is satisfactory to the Note Holders), has agreed to be bound by this Agreement and perform the duties of the Agent hereunder. CFI, as Initial Agent, may transfer its rights and obligations to a Servicer, the Trustee or the Certificate Administrator, as successor Agent, at any time without the consent of any Note Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Note Holders hereby agree that, simultaneously with the closing of the Lead Securitization, the Master Servicer shall be deemed to have been automatically appointed as the successor Agent under this Agreement in place of CFI without any further notice or other action. The termination or resignation of such Master Servicer, as Master Servicer under the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement, shall be deemed a termination or resignation of such Master Servicer as Agent under this Agreement, and any successor master servicer shall be deemed to have been automatically appointed as the successor Agent under this Agreement in place thereof without any further notice or other action.

 

Section 32.       Resizing. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, for so long as CFI or an Affiliate of CFI (an “Original Entity”) is the owner of a Non-Lead Securitization Note (the “Owned Note”), such Original Entity shall have the right, subject to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents, to cause the Mortgage Loan Borrower to execute amended and restated notes or additional notes (in either case, “New Notes”) reallocating the principal of the Owned Note to such New Notes; or severing the Owned Note into one or more further “component” notes in the aggregate principal amount equal to the then outstanding principal balance of the Owned Note; provided that (i) the aggregate principal balance of all outstanding New Notes following such amendments is no greater than the aggregate principal of the Owned Note prior to such amendments, (ii) all Notes continue to have the same weighted average interest rate as the Notes prior to such amendments, (iii) all Notes pay pro rata and on a pari passu basis and such reallocated or component notes shall be automatically subject to the terms of this Agreement, (iv) the Original Entity holding the New Notes shall notify the Lead Securitization Note Holder, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator and the Trustee in writing of such modified allocations and principal amounts, and (v) the execution of such amendments and New Notes does not violate the Servicing Standard. If the Lead Securitization Note Holder so requests, the Original Entity holding the New Notes (and any subsequent holder of such Notes) shall execute a confirmation of the continuing applicability of this Agreement to the New Notes, as so modified. Except for the foregoing reallocation and for modifications pursuant to the Lead Securitization Servicing Agreement (as discussed in Section 5), no Note may be modified or amended without the consent of its holder and the consent of the holder of the other Note. In connection with the foregoing (provided the conditions set forth in (i) through (v) above are satisfied, with respect to (i) through (iv), as certified by the Original Entity, on which certification the Master Servicer can rely), the Master Servicer is hereby authorized and directed to execute amendments to the Mortgage Loan Documents and this Agreement on behalf of any or all of the Note Holders, as applicable, solely for the purpose of reflecting such reallocation of principal.

(c)           If, at any time the Lead Note is no longer in a Securitization, the Note A-1 Holder shall cause the Mortgage Loan to be serviced pursuant to a servicing agreement that is substantially similar to the Servicing Agreement (and, if any Non-Lead Note is in a Securitization, a Rating Agency Confirmation from the Rating Agencies that were engaged by the Depositor to rate such Securitization) and all references herein to the “Servicing Agreement” shall mean such subsequent Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that until a replacement Servicing Agreement has been entered into (and such written confirmation has been obtained), the Note A-1 Holder shall cause the Mortgage Loan to be serviced pursuant to the provisions of the Servicing Agreement as if such agreement was still in full force and effect with respect to the Mortgage Loan; provided, further, however, that until a replacement Servicing Agreement is in place, the actual servicing of the Mortgage Loan may be performed by any Qualified Servicer appointed by the Note A-1 Holder and does not have to be performed by the service providers set forth under the Servicing Agreement that was previously in effect.

 

(d)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (including Sections 4 and 13(a)), each Servicing Agreement shall provide that the Servicer shall be required to service and administer the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the Servicing Standard as set forth in such Servicing Agreement, and any Holder who is not the Borrower or an Affiliate of the Borrower shall be deemed a third-party beneficiary of such provisions of the Servicing Agreement. It is understood that any Non-Lead Note Holder may separately appoint a servicer for its Non-Lead Note, by itself or together with other assets, but any such servicer will have no responsibility hereunder and shall be compensated solely by the applicable Non-Lead Note Holder from funds payable to it hereunder or otherwise.

 

(e)           The Holders acknowledge that the Servicer is to comply with this Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Documents in connection with the servicing of the Mortgage Loan.

(f)            If any Note is included as an asset of a real estate mortgage investment conduit (a “REMIC”), within the meaning of Section 860D(a) of the Code, then, any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding: (i) the Mortgage Loan shall be administered such that the Notes shall qualify at all times as (or as interests in) a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, (ii) any real property (and related personal property) acquired by or on behalf of the Holders pursuant to a foreclosure, exercise of a power of sale or delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure of the Mortgage or lien on such property following a default on the Mortgage Loan shall be administered so that the interest of the pro rata share of each Holder therein shall at all times qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code, and (iii) no Servicer may modify, waive or amend any provision of the Mortgage Loan, consent to or withhold consent from any action of the Borrower, or exercise or refrain from exercising any powers or rights that the Holders may have under the Mortgage Loan Documents, if any such action would constitute a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan, within the meaning of Section 1.860G-2(b) of the regulations of the United States Department of the Treasury, more than three (3) months after the startup day of the REMIC that includes any Note (or any portion thereof). Each Holder agrees that the provisions of this paragraph shall be effected by compliance with any REMIC provisions in the Servicing Agreement relating to the administration of the Mortgage Loan.

 

(g)           In the event that one of the Notes is included in a REMIC, the other Holders shall not be required to reimburse such Holder or any other Person for payment of any taxes imposed on such REMIC or Advances therefor or for any interest on such Advance or for deficits in other items of disbursement or income resulting from the use of funds for payment of any such taxes, nor shall any disbursement or payment otherwise distributable to the other Holders be reduced to offset or make-up any such payment or deficit.

 

3.             Priority of Notes. Note A-1 and Note A-2 shall be of equal priority, and no portion of any of Note A-1 or Note A-2 shall have priority or preference over any portion of the other Note or security therefor. Except for the Excluded Amounts, all amounts tendered by the Borrower or otherwise available for payment on the Mortgage Loan, whether received in the form of Monthly Payments, a balloon payment, Liquidation Proceeds, proceeds under any guaranty, letter of credit or other instrument serving as security on the Mortgage Loan, proceeds under title, hazard or other insurance policies or awards or settlements in respect of condemnation proceedings or similar exercise of the power of eminent domain shall be distributed by the Master Servicer and applied to the Note A-1 and Note A-2 on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis.

 

The Servicing Agreement may provide for the application of Penalty Charges paid in respect of the Mortgage Loan to be used to (i) pay the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Special Servicer for interest accrued on any Property Advances and reimbursement of Property Advances, (ii) to pay the parties to any Securitization for interest accrued on any P&I Advance, (iii) to pay certain other expenses incurred with respect to the Mortgage Loan and (iv) to pay to the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer as additional servicing compensation, except that, for so long as Note A-2 is not included in a Securitization, any Penalty Charges allocated to Note A-2, that are not applied pursuant to clauses (i)-(iii) above shall be remitted to the

 

-13-
 

 

respective Holder and shall not be paid to the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer without the express consent of such Holder.

 

4.            Workout. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, but subject to the terms and conditions of the Servicing Agreement and Section 13 of this Agreement, and the obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard, if the Lead Note Holder, or any Servicer, in connection with a workout or proposed workout of the Mortgage Loan, modifies the terms thereof such that (i) the Mortgage Loan Principal Balance is decreased, (ii) the Mortgage Interest Rate is reduced, (iii) payments of interest or principal on Note A-1 or Note A-2 are waived, reduced or deferred or (iv) any other adjustment is made to any of the payment terms of the Mortgage Loan, such modification shall not alter, and any modification of the Mortgage Loan Documents shall be structured to preserve, the equal priorities of Note A-1 and Note A-2 as described in Section 3.

 

5.            Accounts; Payment Procedure. The Servicing Agreement shall provide that the Master Servicer shall establish and maintain the Collection Account or Collection Accounts, as applicable. Each of the Note A-1 Holder and the Note A-2 Holder hereby directs the Master Servicer, in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 3 hereof, and subject to the terms of the Servicing Agreement, (i) to deposit into the applicable Collection Account within the time period specified in the Servicing Agreement all payments received with respect to the Mortgage Loan and (ii) to remit from the applicable Collection Account for deposit or credit on the applicable Master Servicer Remittance Date all payments received with respect to and allocable to Note A-1 and Note A-2 by wire transfer to accounts maintained by the Note A-1 Holder and the Note A-2 Holder, respectively; provided that delinquent payments received by the Master Servicer after the related Master Servicer Remittance Date shall be remitted by the Master Servicer to such accounts within the time period specified in the Servicing Agreement. If any Servicer holding or having distributed any amount received or collected in respect of Note A-1 or Note A-2 determines, or a court of competent jurisdiction orders, at any time that any amount received or collected in respect of Note A-1 or Note A-2 must, pursuant to any insolvency, bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance, preference or similar law, be returned to the Borrower or paid to the Note A-1 Holder, the Note A-2 Holder, or any Servicer or paid to any other Person, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Servicer shall be required to distribute any portion thereof to the Note A-1 Holder or the Note A-2 Holder, as applicable, and the Note A-1 Holder or the Note A-2 Holder, as applicable, shall promptly on demand repay to such Servicer the portion thereof which shall have been theretofore distributed to the Note A-1 Holder or the Note A-2 Holder, as applicable, together with interest thereon at such rate, if any, as such Servicer shall have been required to pay to the Borrower, the Note A-1 Holder, the Note A-2 Holder, any Servicer or such other person or entity with respect thereto. Each of the Note A-1 Holder and the Note A-2 Holder agrees that if at any time it shall receive from any sources whatsoever any payment on account of the Mortgage Loan in excess of its distributable share thereof, it will promptly remit such excess to the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall have the right to offset any amounts due hereunder from the Note A-1 Holder or the Note A-2 Holder, as applicable, with respect to the Mortgage Loan against any future payments due to the Note A-1 Holder or the Note A-2 Holder, as applicable, under the Mortgage Loan, provided, that the obligations of the Note A-1 Holder and the Note A-2 Holder under this Section 5 are separate and distinct obligations from one another and in no event shall any

 

-14-
 

 

Servicer enforce the obligations of any Holder against any other Holder. The obligations of the Note A-1 Holder and the Note A-2 Holder under this Section 5 constitute absolute, unconditional and continuing obligations and each Servicer shall be deemed a third-party beneficiary of these provisions.

 

6.             Limitation on Liability. Subject to the terms of the Servicing Agreement, no Holder (including the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer on its behalf) shall have any liability to any other Holder with respect to any Note, except (1) with respect to the Advance reimbursement provisions set forth in Section 17 and (2) with respect to losses actually suffered due to the gross negligence, willful misconduct or material breach of this Agreement on the part of such Holder (including the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer on its behalf, and the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s liability is further limited as set forth in the Servicing Agreement).

 

7.             Representations of the Holders. (a)  Each of the initial Holders hereby represents and warrants to, and covenants with each other Holder that, as of the date hereof:

 

(i)            It is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State under which it is organized.

 

(ii)           The execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Holder, and performance of, and compliance with, the terms of this Agreement by such Holder, will not violate its organizational documents or constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default) under, or result in the breach of, any material agreement or other instrument to which it is a party or that is applicable to it or any of its assets, in each case which materially and adversely affect its ability to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

(iii)          Such Holder has the full power and authority to enter into and consummate all transactions contemplated by this Agreement, has duly authorized the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and has duly executed and delivered this Agreement.

 

(iv)          This Agreement is the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Holder enforceable against such Holder in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), and except that the enforcement of rights with respect to indemnification and contribution obligations may be limited by applicable law.

 

(v)           It has the right to enter into this Agreement without the consent of any third party.

 

(vi)          It is the holder of the respective Note for its own account in the ordinary course of its business.

 

-15-
 

 

(vii)         It has not dealt with any broker, investment banker, agent or other person, that may be entitled to any commission or compensation in connection with the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

(viii)       It is a Qualified Transferee.

 

8.             Independent Analyses of each Holder. Each Holder acknowledges that, except for the representations made in Section 7, it has, independently and without reliance upon any other Holders and based on such documents and information as such Holder has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to purchase its respective Note. Each Holder hereby acknowledges that the other Holders shall have no responsibility for (i) the collectability of the Mortgage Loan, (ii) the validity, enforceability or legal effect of any of the Mortgage Loan Documents or the title insurance policy or policies or any survey furnished or to be furnished in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan, (iii) the validity, sufficiency or effectiveness of the lien created or to be created by the Mortgage Loan Documents, or (iv) the financial condition of the Borrower. Each Holder assumes all risk of loss in connection with its respective Note for reasons other than gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement by any other Holder or gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith by any Servicer.

 

9.             No Creation of a Partnership or Exclusive Purchase Right. Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action taken pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute among any Holder (or the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Trustee on its behalf) and any other Holder a partnership, association, joint venture or other entity. Each Holder (or the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Trustee on its behalf) shall have no obligation whatsoever to offer to the other Holders the opportunity to purchase notes or interests relating to any future loans originated by such Holder or any of its Affiliates, and if any Holder chooses to offer to any of the other Holders, the opportunity to purchase notes or interests in any future mortgage loans originated by such Holder or its Affiliates, such offer shall be at such purchase price and interest rate as such Holder chooses, in its sole and absolute discretion. None of the Holders shall have any obligation whatsoever to purchase from any other Holder any notes or interests in any future loans originated by any other Holder or any of its Affiliates.

 

10.           Not a Security. Neither of Note A-1 nor Note A-2 shall be deemed to be a security within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

 

11.           Other Business Activities of the Holders. Each Holder acknowledges that the other Holders may make loans or otherwise extend credit to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, any Affiliate of the Borrower, and receive payments on such other loans or extensions of credit to any Affiliate of the Borrower and otherwise act with respect thereto freely and without accountability, but only if none of the foregoing violate the Mortgage Loan Documents, in the same manner as if this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby were not in effect.

12.              Transfer of Notes. (a)  Each Holder may Transfer up to 49% of its beneficial interest in its Note whether or not the related transferee is a Qualified Transferee without a Rating Agency Confirmation. Each Holder shall not Transfer more than 49% of its beneficial interest in its Note unless (i) prior to a Securitization of any Note, the other Holder has consented to such Transfer, in which case the related transferee shall thereafter be deemed to be a “Qualified Transferee” for all purposes under this Agreement, (ii) after a Securitization of any Note, a Rating Agency Confirmation has been received with respect to such Transfer, in which case the related transferee shall thereafter be deemed to be a “Qualified Transferee” for all purposes under this Agreement, or (iii) such Transfer is to a Qualified Transferee. Any such transferee must assume in writing the obligations of the transferring Holder hereunder and agree to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement. Such proposed transferee (except in the case of Transfers that are made in connection with a Securitization) shall also remake each of the representations and warranties contained herein for the benefit of the other Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the non-transferring Holder’s prior consent (which will not be unreasonably withheld), and, if such non-transferring Holder’s Note is in a Securitization, without a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency that has been engaged by the Depositor to rate the securities issued in connection with such Securitization, no Holder shall Transfer all or any portion of its Note to the Borrower or an Affiliate of the Borrower and any such Transfer shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee.

 

(b)           Except for a Transfer made in connection with a Securitization, or a Transfer made by an initial Holder to an Affiliate, at least five (5) days prior to a transfer of any Note, the transferring Holder shall provide to the other Holders and, if any Certificates are outstanding, to the Rating Agencies, a certification that such transfer will be made in accordance with this Section 12, such certification to include (1) the name and contact information of the transferee and (2) if applicable, a certification by the transferee that it is a Qualified Transferee.

 

(c)           The Holders acknowledge that any Rating Agency Confirmation may be granted or denied by the Rating Agencies in their sole and absolute discretion and that such Rating Agencies may charge the transferring Holder customary fees in connection with providing such Rating Agency Confirmation.

 

(d)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each Holder may pledge or transfer (a “Pledge”) its Note to any entity (other than the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower) that has extended a credit facility to such Holder or has entered into a repurchase agreement with such Holder and that, in each case, is either a Qualified Transferee or a financial institution whose long-term unsecured debt is rated at least “A” (or the equivalent) or better by each Rating Agency (a “Note Pledgee”), or to a Person with respect to which a Rating Agency Confirmation has been obtained, on terms and conditions set forth in this Section 12(d), it being further agreed that a financing provided by a Note Pledgee to any Holder or any Affiliate that controls such Holder that is secured by such Holder’s interest in its respective Note and is structured as a repurchase arrangement, shall qualify as a “Pledge” hereunder on the condition that all applicable terms and conditions of this Section 12 are complied with. A Note Pledgee that is not a Qualified Transferee may not take title to a Note without a Rating Agency Confirmation. Upon written notice, if any, by the pledging Holder to the other Holders and the Servicer that a Pledge has been effected (including the name and address of the applicable Note

 

-17-
 

 

Pledgee), the other Holders agree to acknowledge receipt of such notice and thereafter agree: (i) to give such Note Pledgee written notice of any default by the pledging Holder in respect of its obligations under this Agreement of which default such Holder has actual knowledge and which notice shall be given simultaneously with the giving of such notice to the pledging Holder; (ii) to allow such Note Pledgee a period of ten (10) Business Days to cure a default by the pledging Holder in respect of its obligations to the other Holders hereunder, but such Note Pledgee shall not be obligated to cure any such default; (iii) that no amendment, modification, waiver or termination of this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement (if the pledging Holder had the right to consent to such amendment, modification, waiver or termination pursuant to the terms hereof) shall be effective against such Note Pledgee without the written consent of such Note Pledgee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and which consent shall be deemed to be given if Note Pledgee shall fail to respond to any request for consent to any such amendment, modification, waiver or termination within 10 days after request therefor; (iv) that the other Holders shall accept any cure by such Note Pledgee of any default of the pledging Holder which such pledging Holder has the right to effect hereunder, as if such cure were made by such pledging Holder; (v) that the other Holders or Servicer shall deliver to Note Pledgee such estoppel certificate(s) as Note Pledgee shall reasonably request, provided that any such certificate(s) shall be in a form reasonably satisfactory to the other Holders; and (vi) that, upon written notice (a “Redirection Notice”) to the Servicer by such Note Pledgee that the pledging Holder is in default beyond any applicable cure periods with respect to the pledging Holder’s obligations to such Note Pledgee pursuant to the applicable credit agreement or other agreements relating to the Pledge between the pledging Holder and such Note Pledgee (which notice need not be joined in or confirmed by the pledging Holder), and until such Redirection Notice is withdrawn or rescinded by such Note Pledgee, Note Pledgee (or at any time that pledging Holder otherwise directs that such payment be made to Note Pledgee pursuant to a separate notice) shall be entitled to receive any payments that any Servicer would otherwise be obligated to make to the pledging Holder from time to time pursuant to this Agreement or any Servicing Agreement. Any pledging Holder hereby unconditionally and absolutely releases the other Holders and any Servicer from any liability to the pledging Holder on account of any Holder’s or Servicer’s compliance with any Redirection Notice believed by any Servicer or other Holders in good faith to have been delivered by a Note Pledgee. Note Pledgee shall be permitted to exercise fully its rights and remedies against the pledging Holder (and accept an assignment in lieu of foreclosure as to such collateral), in accordance with applicable law, the pledge agreement, repurchase agreement or similar agreement between the pledging Holder and the Note Pledgee and this Agreement. In such event, or if the pledging holder otherwise assigns its interests to the Note Pledgee, the other Holders and the Servicer shall recognize such Note Pledgee (and any transferee (other than the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower) that is also a Qualified Transferee at any foreclosure or similar sale held by such Note Pledgee or any transfer in lieu of foreclosure), and such Person’s successor and assigns, as the successor to the pledging Holder’s rights, remedies and obligations under this Agreement, and any such Note Pledgee or Qualified Transferee shall assume in writing the obligations of the pledging Holder hereunder accruing from and after such Transfer (i.e., realization upon the collateral by such Note Pledgee) and agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The rights of a Note Pledgee under this Section 12(d) shall remain effective as to any Holder (and any Servicer) unless and until such Note Pledgee shall have notified such Holder (and any Servicer, as applicable) in writing that its interest in the pledged Note has terminated.

 

-18-
 

 

13.           Exercise of Remedies by the Servicer. (a)  Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement and subject to the rights and consents, where required, of the Directing Holder, the Servicer shall have the sole and exclusive authority with respect to the administration of, and exercise of rights and remedies with respect to, the Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, the sole and exclusive authority to (i) modify or waive any of the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents, (ii) consent to any action or failure to act by the Borrower or any party to the Mortgage Loan Documents, (iii) vote all claims with respect to the Mortgage Loan in any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceedings and (iv) to take legal action to enforce or protect the Holders’ interests with respect to the Mortgage Loan or to refrain from exercising any powers or rights under the Mortgage Loan Documents, including the right at any time to call or waive any Events of Default, or accelerate or refrain from accelerating the Mortgage Loan or institute any foreclosure action, and the Holders shall have no voting, consent or other rights whatsoever with respect to the Servicer’s administration of, or exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to, the Mortgage Loan other than as provided in the Servicing Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Servicing Agreement, the Servicer shall have the sole and exclusive authority to make Property Advances with respect to the Mortgage Loan. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Holder agrees that it shall have no right to, and hereby presently and irrevocably assigns and conveys to the Servicer the rights, if any, that such Holder has to (A) call or cause the Servicer to call an Event of Default under the Mortgage Loan, or (B) exercise any remedies with respect to the Mortgage Loan or the Borrower, including, without limitation, filing or causing the Lead Note Holder or such Servicer to file any bankruptcy petition against the Borrower. Each Holder shall, from time to time, execute such documents as any Servicer shall reasonably require to evidence such assignment with respect to the rights described in clause (iii) of the first sentence in this Section 13(a).

 

(b)          The Lead Servicer and the related Trustee shall not have any fiduciary duty to the Non-Lead Note Holders in connection with the administration of the Mortgage Loan (but the foregoing shall not relieve the Lead Servicer and the related Trustee from their respective obligation under the Servicing Agreement to make any disbursement of funds as set forth herein).

 

(c)           The Holders hereby acknowledge that the Servicing Agreement shall provide that, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the next sentence, upon the Mortgage Loan becoming a Defaulted Mortgage Loan, if the Special Servicer determines to sell the Defaulted Mortgage Loan (or the Lead Note), it will be required to sell the entire Defaulted Mortgage Loan as a single whole loan (i.e., both the Lead Note and Non-Lead Note). Any such sale of the entire Defaulted Mortgage Loan is subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions:

 

(i)            Each Non-Lead Note Holder has provided written consent to such sale; or

 

(ii)          The Special Servicer has delivered the following notices and information to each Non-Lead Note Holder:

 

(1)           at least 15 Business Days prior written notice of any decision to attempt to sell the Defaulted Mortgage Loan;

 

-19-
 

 

(2)           at least 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 Special Servicer in connection with any such proposed sale;

 

(3)           at least 10 days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of the most recent Appraisal for the Mortgage Loan, and any documents in the Servicing File requested by a Non-Lead Note Holder; and

 

(4)           until the sale is completed and a reasonable period of time (but no less time than is afforded to other offerors and the Directing Holder) prior to the proposed sale date, all information and other documents being provided to other offerors and all leases or other documents that are approved by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in connection with the proposed sale.

 

Any Non-Lead Note Holder may waive any delivery or timing requirements set forth above only for itself. Subject to the foregoing, each of the Lead Note Holder, the Directing Holder, the Non-Lead Note Holders and the Non-Directing Holders shall be permitted to submit an offer at any sale of the Defaulted Mortgage Loan (unless such Person is the Borrower or an agent or Affiliate of the Borrower).

 

The Non-Lead Note Holders hereby appoint the Lead Note Holder as their agent, and grant to the Lead Note Holder an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest, and its proxy, for the purpose of soliciting and accepting offers for and consummating the sale of the Non-Lead Note. Each Non-Lead Note Holder further agrees that, upon the request of the Lead Note Holder, such Non-Lead Note Holder shall execute and deliver to or at the direction of Lead Note Holder such powers of attorney or other instruments as the Lead Note Holder may reasonably request to better assure and evidence the foregoing appointment and grant, in each case promptly following request, and shall deliver the related original Non-Lead Note, endorsed in blank, to or at the direction of the Lead Note Holder in connection with the consummation of any such sale.

 

(d)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the exercise by the Servicer on behalf of the Holders of its rights under this Section 13 shall be subject in all respects to any section of the Servicing Agreement governing REMIC administration, and in no event shall the Servicer be permitted to take any action or refrain from taking any action if taking or failing to take such action, as the case may be, would violate the laws of any applicable jurisdiction, breach the Mortgage Loan Documents or be inconsistent with the Servicing Standard or violate any other provisions of the Servicing Agreement or violate the REMIC provisions of the Code or any regulations promulgated thereunder, including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 2(g) of this Agreement.

 

14.          Rights of the Directing Holder. The Directing Holder shall be entitled to exercise the rights and powers granted to the Directing Holder hereunder and the rights and powers granted to the “Directing Holder,” “Controlling Class Certificateholder,” “Controlling Class Representative” or similar party under, and as defined in, the Servicing Agreement with

 

-20-
 

 

respect to the Mortgage Loan. In addition, the Directing Holder shall be entitled to advise (1) the Special Servicer with respect to all matters related to a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and (2) the Special Servicer with respect to all matters for which the Master Servicer must obtain the consent or deemed consent of the Special Servicer, and, except as set forth below (i) the Master Servicer shall not be permitted to take any Major Action unless it has obtained the prior written consent of the Special Servicer and (ii) the Special Servicer shall not be permitted to consent to the Master Servicer’s taking any Major Action nor will the Special Servicer itself be permitted to take any Major Action as to which the Directing Holder has objected in writing within ten (10) Business Days (or 30 days with respect to an Acceptable Insurance Default) after receipt of the written recommendation and analysis and such additional information requested by the Directing Holder as may be necessary in the reasonable judgment of the Directing Holder in order to make a judgment with respect to such Major Action. The Directing Holder may also direct the Special Servicer to take, or to refrain from taking, such other actions with respect to the Mortgage Loan as the Directing Holder may deem advisable.

 

If the Directing Holder fails to notify the Special Servicer of its approval or disapproval of any proposed Major Action within ten (10) Business Days (or 30 days with respect to an Acceptable Insurance Default) after delivery to the Directing Holder by the applicable Servicer of written notice of a proposed Major Action together with any information requested by the Directing Holder as may be necessary in the reasonable judgment of the Directing Holder in order to make a judgment, then upon the expiration of such ten Business Day (or 30 days with respect to an Acceptable Insurance Default) period, such Major Action shall be deemed to have been approved by the Directing Holder.

 

In the event that the Special Servicer or Master Servicer (in the event the Master Servicer is otherwise authorized by the Servicing Agreement to take such action), as applicable, determines that immediate action, with respect to the foregoing matters, or any other matter requiring consent of the Directing Holder is necessary to protect the interests of the Holders (as a collective whole) and the Special Servicer has made a reasonable effort to contact the Directing Holder, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may take any such action without waiting for the Directing Holder’s response.

 

No objection, direction or advice contemplated by the preceding paragraphs may require or cause the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to violate any provision of the Mortgage Loan Documents, applicable law, the Servicing Agreement, this Agreement, the REMIC provisions of the Code or the Master Servicer or Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

 

The Directing Holder shall have no liability to the other Holders or any other Person for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action or the giving of any consent or the failure to give any consent pursuant to this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, or errors in judgment, absent any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence. The Holders agree that the Directing Holder may take or refrain from taking actions, or give or refrain from giving consents, that favor the interests of one Holder over the other Holder, and that the Directing Holder may have special relationships and interests that conflict with the interests of another Holder and, absent willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of the Directing Holder agree to take no

 

-21-
 

 

action against the Directing Holder or any of its officers, directors, employees, principals or agents as a result of such special relationships or interests, and that the Directing Holder will not be deemed to have been grossly negligent or reckless, or to have acted in bad faith or engaged in willful misfeasance or to have recklessly disregarded any exercise of its rights by reason of its having acted or refrained from acting, or having given any consent or having failed to give any consent, solely in the interests of any Holder.

 

15.           Appointment of Special Servicer. Subject to the terms of the Servicing Agreement, the Directing Holder shall have the right at any time and from time to time, with or without cause, to replace the Special Servicer then acting with respect to the Mortgage Loan and appoint a Qualified Servicer as the replacement Special Servicer in lieu thereof.

16.           Rights of the Non-Directing Holders. (a) The Note A-1 PSA shall provide that the Servicer shall be required:

(ii)           to consult with each Non-Directing Holder on a strictly non-binding basis, if, having received such notices, information and reports, such Non-Directing Holder requests consultation with respect to any such Major Action or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report relating to the Mortgage Loan, and consider alternative actions recommended by such Non-Directing Holder; provided that after the expiration of a period of ten (10) Business Days from the delivery to each Non-Directing Holder of written notice of a proposed action, together with copies of the notice, information and report required to be provided to the Directing Holder, the Servicer shall no longer be obligated to consult with the Non-Directing Holders, whether or not the Non-Directing Holders have responded within such ten (10) Business Day

 

-22-
 

 

period (unless the 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 shall be begin anew from the date of such proposal and delivery of all information relating thereto).

 

(b)           Notwithstanding the foregoing non-binding consultation rights of the Non-Directing Holders, the Servicer may take any Major Action or any action set forth in the Asset Status Report before the expiration of the aforementioned ten (10) Business Day period if the Servicer determines that immediate action with respect thereto is necessary to protect the interests of the Holders.

 

(c)           In addition to the foregoing non-binding consultation rights, the Non-Directing Holders shall have the right to annual conference calls with the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer upon reasonable notice and at times reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in which servicing issues related to the Mortgage Loan are discussed.

 

(d)           In no event shall the Servicer be obligated at any time to follow or take any alternative actions recommended by any of the Non-Directing Holders.

 

(e)           Any Non-Directing Holder that is the Borrower or an Affiliate of the Borrower shall not be entitled to any of the rights set forth in this Section 16.

 

17.          Advances; Reimbursement of Advances. (a)  From time to time, (i) pursuant to terms of the Servicing Agreement, the Lead Servicer and/or the related Trustee may be obligated to make (1) Property Advances with respect to the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgaged Property and (2) P&I Advances with respect to the Lead Note and (ii) pursuant to the terms of a Non-Lead Servicing Agreement, the related Non-Lead Master Servicer and/or the related Trustee may be obligated to make P&I Advances with respect to a Non-Lead Note. The Lead Servicer and/or the related Trustee will not be required to make any P&I Advance with respect to any Non-Lead Note and the related Non-Lead Master Servicer and/or the related Trustee will not be required to make any P&I Advance with respect to any Lead Note, any other Non-Lead Note or any Property Advance. The Lead Servicer, each Non-Lead Master Servicer and any Trustee will be entitled to interest on any Advance made in the manner and from the sources provided in the Note A-1 PSA or the Note A-2 PSA, as applicable.

 

(b)          The Lead Servicer and the related Trustee, as applicable, will be entitled to reimbursement for a Property Advance, first from the Collection Account established with respect to the Mortgage Loan, and then, if such Property Advance is a Nonrecoverable Advance, if such funds on deposit in the Collection Account are insufficient, from general collections of the Lead Securitization as provided in the Servicing Agreement.

 

(c)           To the extent amounts on deposit in the Collection Account with respect to the Mortgage Loan are insufficient to reimburse the Lead Servicer for any Property Advance and/or interest thereon and the Lead Servicer or the related Trustee, as applicable, obtains funds from general collections of the Lead Securitization as a reimbursement for a Property Advance or interest thereon, each Non-Lead Note Holder (including any Securitization into which any

 

-23-
 

 

Non-Lead Note is deposited) shall be required to, promptly following notice from the Lead Servicer, pay to the Lead Securitization for its pro rata share of such Property Advance and/or interest thereon at the Reimbursement Rate. In addition, each Non-Lead Note Holder (including any Securitization into which any Non-Lead Note is deposited) shall promptly reimburse the Lead Servicer or the related Trustee for such Non-Lead Note Holder’s pro rata share of any fees, costs or expenses incurred in connection with the servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loan as to which the Lead Securitization or any of the parties thereto are entitled to be reimbursed pursuant to the terms of the Servicing Agreement (to the extent amounts on deposit in the Collection Account with respect to the Mortgage Loan are insufficient for reimbursement of such amounts).

 

(d)           The parties to each of the Note A-1 PSA and the Note A-2 PSA shall each be entitled to make their own recoverability determination with respect to a P&I Advance based on the information that they have on hand and in accordance with the Note A-1 PSA, or the Note A-2 PSA, as applicable.

 

(e)           If the Lead Servicer or the related Trustee elects to defer the reimbursement of a Property Advance in accordance with the terms of the Servicing Agreement, the Lead Servicer or the related Trustee shall also defer its reimbursement of each Non-Lead Note share from the Non-Lead Note Holders.

 

18.          Provisions Relating to Securitization. (a)  For so long as RMF or an Affiliate of RMF is the owner of Note A-2, the Note A-2 Holder shall have the right, subject to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents, to cause the Borrower to execute amended and restated notes or additional notes (in either case “New A-2 Notes”) reallocating the principal of Note A-2 among other New A-2 Notes; reducing the Interest Rates of such New A-2 Notes or severing the Note A-2 into one or more further “component” notes in the aggregate principal amount equal to the then outstanding principal balance of Note A-2, provided that (i) the aggregate principal balance of the New A-2 Notes following such amendments is no greater than the principal balance of Note A-2 prior to such amendments, (ii) all New A-2 Notes continue to have the same or a lower interest rate as the Note A-2 prior to such amendments, (iii) all New A-2 Notes pay pro rata and on a pari passu basis and such reallocated or component notes shall be automatically subject to the terms of this Agreement and (iv) the Note A-2 Holder holding the New A-2 Notes shall notify the parties to the Note A-1 PSA in writing of such modified allocations and principal amounts. In connection with the foregoing, (1) the Master Servicer is hereby authorized to execute amendments to the Loan Agreement and this Agreement (or to amend and restate the Loan Agreement and this Agreement) on behalf of any or all of the Holders solely for the purpose of reflecting such reallocation of principal, reduction of Interest Rates or such severing of Note A-2, (2) if Note A-2 is severed into “component” notes, such component notes shall each have their same rights as the respective original Note and (3) the definition of the term “Securitization” and all of the related defined terms may be amended (and new terms added, as necessary) to reflect the New A-2 Notes. Rating Agency Confirmation shall not be required for any amendments to this Agreement required to facilitate the terms of this paragraph 18(a).

(iii)          in the event such Non-Lead Note Holder is responsible for its proportionate share of any Nonrecoverable Advances (or any other portion of a Nonrecoverable Advance) (and advance interest thereon) or other fee or expense pursuant to Section 17, and that in the event that the funds received with respect to such Non-Lead Note are insufficient to cover such amounts, (x) the related master servicer will be required to pay the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Trustee under the Servicing Agreement, as applicable, out of general funds in the collection account (or equivalent account) established under the related Non-Lead Servicing Agreement and (y) if the Lead Servicing Agreement permits the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Trustee under the Servicing Agreement to pay itself from the Lead Securitization Trust’s general account then the master servicer under the related Non-Lead Servicing Agreement will be required to reimburse the Lead Securitization Trust Fund out of general funds in the collection account (or equivalent account) established under the related Non-Lead Servicing Agreement;

 

(iv)          each of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall be indemnified (as and to the same extent the Lead Securitization Trust is required to indemnify each such party) against any claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses, incurred in connection with any PSA that relate solely to its servicing of the Mortgage Loan, as applicable, and the master servicer under the related Non-Lead Servicing Agreement will be required to reimburse the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Trustee under the Servicing Agreement, as applicable, out of general funds in the collection account (or equivalent account) established under the related Non-Lead Servicing Agreement;

 

(v)           each of Trustee and the master servicer under the Non-Lead Servicing Agreement, as applicable, shall acknowledge that, (i) each of the Master Servicer and the Trustee under the Servicing Agreement will be a third party beneficiary under the Non-Lead Servicing Agreement with respect to any provisions therein relating to (1) the reimbursement of any nonrecoverable advances made with respect to such Non-Lead Note by the Master Servicer or the Trustee under the Servicing Agreement and (2) as to the Master Servicer only, the indemnification of the Master Servicer against any claims, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and related costs, judgments and any other costs, liabilities, fees and expenses, incurred in connection with any PSA and relating to such Non-Lead Note and (ii) the Special Servicer will be a third party beneficiary under the related Non-Lead Servicing Agreement with respect to any provisions therein relating

Except for the Excluded Amounts, all amounts tendered by the Borrower or otherwise available for payment on the Mortgage Loan, whether received in the form of Monthly Payments, a balloon payment, Liquidation Proceeds, proceeds under any guaranty, letter of credit or other instrument serving as security on the Mortgage Loan, proceeds under title, hazard or other insurance policies or awards or settlements in respect of condemnation proceedings or similar exercise of the power of eminent domain shall be distributed by the Master Servicer and applied to the Note A-1 and Note A-2 on a Pro Rata and Pari Passu Basis.

 

The Servicing Agreement may provide for the application of Penalty Charges paid in respect of the Mortgage Loan to be used to (i) pay the Master Servicer, the Trustee or the Special Servicer for interest accrued on any Property Advances, (ii) to pay the parties to any Securitization for interest accrued on any P&I Advance, (iii) to pay certain other expenses incurred with respect to the Mortgage Loan and (iv) to pay to the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer as additional servicing compensation, except that, for so long as Note A-1 is not included in a Securitization, any Penalty Charges allocated to Note A-1 that are not applied pursuant to clauses (i)-(iii) above shall be remitted to the respective Holder and shall not be paid to the Master Servicer and/or the Special Servicer without the express consent of such Holder.

4.          Workout. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, but subject to the terms and conditions of the Servicing Agreement and Section 13 of this Agreement, and the obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard, if the Lead Note Holder, or any Servicer, in connection with a workout or proposed workout of the Mortgage Loan, modifies the terms thereof such that (i) the Mortgage Loan Principal Balance is decreased, (ii) the Mortgage Interest Rate is reduced, (iii) payments of interest or principal on Note A-1 or Note A-2 are waived, reduced or deferred or (iv) any other adjustment is made to any of the payment terms of the Mortgage Loan, such modification shall not alter, and any modification of the Mortgage Loan Documents shall be structured to preserve, the equal priorities of Note A-1 and Note A-2 as described in Section 3.

 

5.          Accounts; Payment Procedure. The Servicing Agreement shall provide that the Master Servicer shall establish and maintain the Collection Account or Collection Accounts, as applicable. Each of the Note A-1 Holder and the Note A-2 Holder hereby directs the Master Servicer, in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 3 hereof, and subject to the terms of the Servicing Agreement, (i) to deposit into the applicable Collection Account within the time period specified in the Servicing Agreement all payments received with respect to the Mortgage Loan and (ii) to remit from the applicable Collection Account for deposit or credit on the applicable Master Servicer Remittance Date all payments received with respect to and allocable to Note A-1 and Note A-2 by wire transfer to accounts maintained by the Note A-1 Holder and the Note A-2 Holder, respectively; provided that delinquent payments received by the Master Servicer after the related Master Servicer Remittance Date shall be remitted by the Master Servicer to such accounts within the time period specified in the Servicing Agreement.

 

If any Servicer holding or having distributed any amount received or collected in respect of Note A-1 or Note A-2 determines, or a court of competent jurisdiction orders, at any time that any amount received or collected in respect of Note A-1 or Note A-2 must, pursuant to any insolvency, bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance, preference or similar law, be returned to the Borrower or paid to the Note A-1 Holder or the Note A-2 Holder, or any Servicer or paid to any other Person, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Servicer shall be required to distribute any portion thereof to the Note A-1 Holder or the Note A-2 Holder, as applicable, and the Note A-1 Holder or the Note A-2 Holder, as applicable, shall promptly on demand repay to such Servicer the portion thereof which shall have been theretofore distributed to the Note A-1 Holder or the Note A-2 Holder, as applicable, together with interest thereon at such rate, if any, as such Servicer shall have been required to pay to the Borrower, the Note A-1 Holder, the Note A-2 Holder, any Servicer or such other person or entity with respect thereto. Each of the Note A-1 Holder and the Note A-2 Holder agrees that if at any time it shall receive from any sources whatsoever any payment on account of the Mortgage Loan in excess of its distributable share thereof, it will promptly remit such excess to the Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall have the right to offset any amounts due hereunder from the Note A-1 Holder or the Note A-2 Holder, as applicable, with respect to the Mortgage Loan against any future payments due to the Note A-1 Holder or the Note A-2 Holder, as applicable, under the Mortgage Loan, provided, that the obligations of the Note A-1 Holder and the Note A-2 Holder under this Section 5 are separate and distinct obligations from one another and in no event shall any Servicer enforce the obligations of any Holder against any other Holder. The obligations of the Note A-1 Holder and the Note A-2 Holder under this Section 5 constitute absolute, unconditional

 

 -14-

 

 

and continuing obligations and each Servicer shall be deemed a third-party beneficiary of these provisions.

 

6.          Limitation on Liability. Subject to the terms of the Servicing Agreement, no Holder (including the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer on its behalf) shall have any liability to any other Holder with respect to any Note, except (1) with respect to the Advance reimbursement provisions set forth in Section 17 and (2) with respect to losses actually suffered due to the gross negligence, willful misconduct or material breach of this Agreement on the part of such Holder (including the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer on its behalf, and the Master Servicer’s or Special Servicer’s liability is further limited as set forth in the Servicing Agreement).

 

7.          Representations of the Holders. (a)  Each of the initial Holders hereby represents and warrants to, and covenants with each other Holder that, as of the date hereof:

 

(i)         It is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State under which it is organized.

 

(ii)        The execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Holder, and performance of, and compliance with, the terms of this Agreement by such Holder, will not violate its organizational documents or constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default) under, or result in the breach of, any material agreement or other instrument to which it is a party or that is applicable to it or any of its assets, in each case which materially and adversely affect its ability to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

(iii)       Such Holder has the full power and authority to enter into and consummate all transactions contemplated by this Agreement, has duly authorized the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and has duly executed and delivered this Agreement.

 

(iv)       This Agreement is the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Holder enforceable against such Holder in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), and except that the enforcement of rights with respect to indemnification and contribution obligations may be limited by applicable law.

 

(v)        It has the right to enter into this Agreement without the consent of any third party.

 

(vi)       It is the holder of the respective Note for its own account in the ordinary course of its business. 

 

 -15-

 

 

(vii)      It has not dealt with any broker, investment banker, agent or other person, that may be entitled to any commission or compensation in connection with the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

(viii)     It is a Qualified Transferee.

 

8.          Independent Analyses of each Holder. Each Holder acknowledges that, except for the representations made in Section 7, it has, independently and without reliance upon any other Holders and based on such documents and information as such Holder has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to purchase its respective Note. Each Holder hereby acknowledges that the other Holders shall have no responsibility for (i) the collectability of the Mortgage Loan, (ii) the validity, enforceability or legal effect of any of the Mortgage Loan Documents or the title insurance policy or policies or any survey furnished or to be furnished in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan, (iii) the validity, sufficiency or effectiveness of the lien created or to be created by the Mortgage Loan Documents, or (iv) the financial condition of the Borrower. Each Holder assumes all risk of loss in connection with its respective Note for reasons other than gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement by any other Holder or gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith by any Servicer.

 

9.          No Creation of a Partnership or Exclusive Purchase Right. Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action taken pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute among any Holder (or the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Trustee on its behalf) and any other Holder a partnership, association, joint venture or other entity. Each Holder (or the Master Servicer, Special Servicer or Trustee on its behalf) shall have no obligation whatsoever to offer to the other Holders the opportunity to purchase notes or interests relating to any future loans originated by such Holder or any of its Affiliates, and if any Holder chooses to offer to any of the other Holders, the opportunity to purchase notes or interests in any future mortgage loans originated by such Holder or its Affiliates, such offer shall be at such purchase price and interest rate as such Holder chooses, in its sole and absolute discretion. None of the Holders shall have any obligation whatsoever to purchase from any other Holder any notes or interests in any future loans originated by any other Holder or any of its Affiliates.

 

10.        Not a Security. Neither of Note A-1 nor Note A-2 shall be deemed to be a security within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

 

11.        Other Business Activities of the Holders. Each Holder acknowledges that the other Holders may make loans or otherwise extend credit to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, any Affiliate of the Borrower, and receive payments on such other loans or extensions of credit to any Affiliate of the Borrower and otherwise act with respect thereto freely and without accountability, but only if none of the foregoing violate the Mortgage Loan Documents, in the same manner as if this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby were not in effect.

12.        Transfer of Notes. (a)  Each Holder may Transfer up to 49% in the aggregate of its beneficial interest in its Note whether or not the related transferee is a Qualified Transferee without a Rating Agency Confirmation. Each Holder shall not Transfer more than 49% in the aggregate of its beneficial interest in its Note unless (i) prior to a Securitization of any Note, the other Holder has consented to such Transfer, in which case the related transferee shall thereafter be deemed to be a “Qualified Transferee” for all purposes under this Agreement, (ii) after a Securitization of any Note, a Rating Agency Confirmation has been received with respect to such Transfer, in which case the related transferee shall thereafter be deemed to be a “Qualified Transferee” for all purposes under this Agreement, or (iii) such Transfer is to a Qualified Transferee. Any such transferee must assume in writing the obligations of the transferring Holder hereunder and agree to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement. Such proposed transferee (except in the case of Transfers that are made in connection with a Securitization) shall also remake each of the representations and warranties contained herein for the benefit of the other Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the non-transferring Holder’s prior consent (which will not be unreasonably withheld), and, if such non-transferring Holder’s Note is in a Securitization, without a Rating Agency Confirmation from each Rating Agency that has been engaged by the Depositor to rate the securities issued in connection with such Securitization, no Holder shall Transfer all or any portion of its Note to the Borrower or an Affiliate of a Borrower and any such Transfer shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee.

 

(b)        Except for a Transfer made in connection with a Securitization, or a Transfer made by an initial Holder to an Affiliate, at least five (5) days prior to a transfer of any Note, the transferring Holder shall provide to the other Holders and, if any Certificates are outstanding, to the Rating Agencies, a certification that such transfer will be made in accordance with this Section 12, such certification to include (1) the name and contact information of the transferee and (2) if applicable, a certification by the transferee that it is a Qualified Transferee.

 

(c)        The Holders acknowledge that any Rating Agency Confirmation may be granted or denied by the Rating Agencies in their sole and absolute discretion and that such Rating Agencies may charge the transferring Holder customary fees in connection with providing such Rating Agency Confirmation.

 

(d)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each Holder may pledge or transfer (a “Pledge”) its Note to any entity (other than the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower) that has extended a credit facility to such Holder or has entered into a repurchase agreement with such Holder and that, in each case, is either a Qualified Transferee or a financial institution whose long-term unsecured debt is rated at least “A” (or the equivalent) or better by each Rating Agency (a “Note Pledgee”), or to a Person with respect to which a Rating Agency Confirmation has been obtained, on terms and conditions set forth in this Section 12(d), it being further agreed that a financing provided by a Note Pledgee to any Holder or any Affiliate that controls such Holder that is secured by such Holder’s interest in its respective Note and is structured as a repurchase arrangement, shall qualify as a “Pledge” hereunder on the condition that all applicable terms and conditions of this Section 12 are complied with. A Note Pledgee that is not a Qualified Transferee may not take title to a Note without a Rating Agency Confirmation. Upon written notice, if any, by the pledging Holder to the other Holders and the Servicer that a Pledge has been effected (including the name and address of the applicable Note

 

 -17-

 

 

Pledgee), the other Holders agree to acknowledge receipt of such notice and thereafter agree: (i) to give such Note Pledgee written notice of any default by the pledging Holder in respect of its obligations under this Agreement of which default such Holder has actual knowledge and which notice shall be given simultaneously with the giving of such notice to the pledging Holder; (ii) to allow such Note Pledgee a period of ten (10) Business Days to cure a default by the pledging Holder in respect of its obligations to the other Holders hereunder, but such Note Pledgee shall not be obligated to cure any such default; (iii) that no amendment, modification, waiver or termination of this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement (if the pledging Holder had the right to consent to such amendment, modification, waiver or termination pursuant to the terms hereof) shall be effective against such Note Pledgee without the written consent of such Note Pledgee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and which consent shall be deemed to be given if Note Pledgee shall fail to respond to any request for consent to any such amendment, modification, waiver or termination within 10 days after request therefor; (iv) that the other Holders shall accept any cure by such Note Pledgee of any default of the pledging Holder which such pledging Holder has the right to effect hereunder, as if such cure were made by such pledging Holder; (v) that the other Holders or Servicer shall deliver to Note Pledgee such estoppel certificate(s) as Note Pledgee shall reasonably request, provided that any such certificate(s) shall be in a form reasonably satisfactory to the other Holders; and (vi) that, upon written notice (a “Redirection Notice”) to the Servicer by such Note Pledgee that the pledging Holder is in default beyond any applicable cure periods with respect to the pledging Holder’s obligations to such Note Pledgee pursuant to the applicable credit agreement or other agreements relating to the Pledge between the pledging Holder and such Note Pledgee (which notice need not be joined in or confirmed by the pledging Holder), and until such Redirection Notice is withdrawn or rescinded by such Note Pledgee, Note Pledgee (or at any time that pledging Holder otherwise directs that such payment be made to Note Pledgee pursuant to a separate notice) shall be entitled to receive any payments that any Servicer would otherwise be obligated to make to the pledging Holder from time to time pursuant to this Agreement or any Servicing Agreement. Any pledging Holder hereby unconditionally and absolutely releases the other Holders and any Servicer from any liability to the pledging Holder on account of any Holder’s or Servicer’s compliance with any Redirection Notice believed by any Servicer or other Holders in good faith to have been delivered by a Note Pledgee. Note Pledgee shall be permitted to exercise fully its rights and remedies against the pledging Holder (and accept an assignment in lieu of foreclosure as to such collateral), in accordance with applicable law, the pledge agreement, repurchase agreement or similar agreement between the pledging Holder and the Note Pledgee and this Agreement. In such event, or if the pledging holder otherwise assigns its interests to the Note Pledgee, the other Holders and the Servicer shall recognize such Note Pledgee (and any transferee (other than the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower) that is also a Qualified Transferee at any foreclosure or similar sale held by such Note Pledgee or any transfer in lieu of foreclosure), and such Person’s successor and assigns, as the successor to the pledging Holder’s rights, remedies and obligations under this Agreement, and any such Note Pledgee or Qualified Transferee shall assume in writing the obligations of the pledging Holder hereunder accruing from and after such Transfer (i.e., realization upon the collateral by such Note Pledgee) and agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The rights of a Note Pledgee under this Section 12(d) shall remain effective as to any Holder (and any Servicer) unless and until such Note Pledgee shall have notified such Holder (and any Servicer, as applicable) in writing that its interest in the pledged Note has terminated.

13.           Exercise of Remedies by the Servicer. (a)  Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement and subject to the rights and consents, where required, of the Directing Holder, the Servicer shall have the sole and exclusive authority with respect to the administration of, and exercise of rights and remedies with respect to, the Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, the sole and exclusive authority to (i) modify or waive any of the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents, (ii) consent to any action or failure to act by the Borrower or any party to the Mortgage Loan Documents, (iii) vote all claims with respect to the Mortgage Loan in any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceedings and (iv) to take legal action to enforce or protect the Holders’ interests with respect to the Mortgage Loan or to refrain from exercising any powers or rights under the Mortgage Loan Documents, including the right at any time to call or waive any Events of Default, or accelerate or refrain from accelerating the Mortgage Loan or institute any foreclosure action, and the Holders shall have no voting, consent or other rights whatsoever with respect to the Servicer’s administration of, or exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to, the Mortgage Loan other than as provided in the Servicing Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Servicing Agreement, the Servicer shall have the sole and exclusive authority to make Property Advances with respect to the Mortgage Loan. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Holder agrees that it shall have no right to, and hereby presently and irrevocably assigns and conveys to the Servicer the rights, if any, that such Holder has to (A) call or cause the Servicer to call an Event of Default under the Mortgage Loan, or (B) exercise any remedies with respect to the Mortgage Loan or the Borrower, including, without limitation, filing or causing the Lead Note Holder or such Servicer to file any bankruptcy petition against the Borrower. Each Holder shall, from time to time, execute such documents as any Servicer shall reasonably require to evidence such assignment with respect to the rights described in clause (iii) of the first sentence in this Section 13(a).

 

(b)           The Lead Servicer and the related Trustee shall not have any fiduciary duty to the Non-Lead Note Holders in connection with the administration of the Mortgage Loan (but the foregoing shall not relieve the Lead Servicer and the related Trustee from their respective obligation under the Servicing Agreement to make any disbursement of funds as set forth herein).

 

(c)           The Holders hereby acknowledge that the Servicing Agreement shall provide that, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the next sentence, upon the Mortgage Loan becoming a Defaulted Mortgage Loan, if the Special Servicer determines to sell the Defaulted Mortgage Loan (or the Lead Note), it will be required to sell the entire Defaulted Mortgage Loan as a single whole loan (i.e., both the Lead Note and Non-Lead Note). Any such sale of the entire Defaulted Mortgage Loan is subject to the satisfaction of the following two conditions:

 

(i)            Each Non-Lead Note Holder has provided written consent to such sale; or

 

(ii)           The Special Servicer has delivered the following notices and information to each Non-Lead Note Holder:

 

(1)           at least 15 Business Days prior written notice of any decision to attempt to sell the Defaulted Mortgage Loan;

 

 -19-

 

 

(2)           at least 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 Special Servicer in connection with any such proposed sale;

 

(3)          at least 10 days prior to the proposed sale date, a copy of the most recent Appraisal for the Mortgage Loan, and any documents in the Servicing File requested by a Non-Lead Note Holder; and

 

(4)           until the sale is completed and a reasonable period of time (but no less time than is afforded to other offerors and the Directing Holder) prior to the proposed sale date, all information and other documents being provided to other offerors and all leases or other documents that are approved by the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer in connection with the proposed sale.

 

Any Non-Lead Note Holder may waive any delivery or timing requirements set forth above only for itself. Subject to the foregoing, each of the Lead Note Holder, the Directing Holder, the Non-Lead Note Holders and the Non-Directing Holders shall be permitted to submit an offer at any sale of the Defaulted Mortgage Loan (unless such Person is the Borrower or an agent or Affiliate of the Borrower).

 

The Non-Lead Note Holders hereby appoint the Lead Note Holder as their agent, and grant to the Lead Note Holder an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest, and its proxy, for the purpose of soliciting and accepting offers for and consummating the sale of the Non-Lead Notes. Each Non-Lead Note Holder further agrees that, upon the request of the Lead Note Holder, such Non-Lead Note Holder shall execute and deliver to or at the direction of Lead Note Holder such powers of attorney or other instruments as the Lead Note Holder may reasonably request to better assure and evidence the foregoing appointment and grant, in each case promptly following request, and shall deliver the related original Non-Lead Note, endorsed in blank, to or at the direction of the Lead Note Holder in connection with the consummation of any such sale.

 

(d)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the exercise by the Servicer on behalf of the Holders of its rights under this Section 13 shall be subject in all respects to any section of the Servicing Agreement governing REMIC administration, and in no event shall the Servicer be permitted to take any action or refrain from taking any action if taking or failing to take such action, as the case may be, would violate the laws of any applicable jurisdiction, breach the Mortgage Loan Documents or be inconsistent with the Servicing Standard or violate any other provisions of the Servicing Agreement or violate the REMIC provisions of the Code or any regulations promulgated thereunder, including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 2(f) of this Agreement.

 

14.           Rights of the Directing Holder. The Directing Holder shall be entitled to exercise the rights and powers granted to the Directing Holder hereunder and the rights and powers granted to the “Directing Holder,” “Controlling Class Certificateholder,” “Controlling Class Representative” or similar party under, and as defined in, the Servicing Agreement with

 

 -20-

 

 

respect to the Mortgage Loan. In addition, the Directing Holder shall be entitled to advise (1) the Special Servicer with respect to all matters related to a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan and (2) the Special Servicer with respect to all matters for which the Master Servicer must obtain the consent or deemed consent of the Special Servicer, and (3) the Special Servicer with respect to a Mortgage Loan for which an extension of maturity is being considered by the Special Servicer or by the Master Servicer subject to the consent or deemed consent of the Special Servicer, and, except as set forth below (i) the Master Servicer shall not be permitted to take any Major Action unless it has obtained the prior written consent of the Special Servicer and (ii) the Special Servicer shall not be permitted to consent to the Master Servicer’s taking any Major Action nor will the Special Servicer itself be permitted to take any Major Action as to which the Directing Holder has objected in writing within ten (10) Business Days (or 30 days with respect to an Acceptable Insurance Default) after receipt of the written recommendation and analysis and such additional information requested by the Directing Holder as may be necessary in the reasonable judgment of the Directing Holder in order to make a judgment with respect to such Major Action. The Directing Holder may also direct the Special Servicer to take, or to refrain from taking, such other actions with respect to the Mortgage Loan as the Directing Holder may deem advisable.

 

If the Directing Holder fails to notify the Special Servicer of its approval or disapproval of any proposed Major Action within ten (10) Business Days (or 30 days with respect to an Acceptable Insurance Default) after delivery to the Directing Holder by the applicable Servicer of written notice of a proposed Major Action together with any information requested by the Directing Holder as may be necessary in the reasonable judgment of the Directing Holder in order to make a judgment, then upon the expiration of such ten (10) Business Day (or 30 days with respect to an Acceptable Insurance Default) period, such Major Action shall be deemed to have been approved by the Directing Holder.

 

In the event that the Special Servicer or Master Servicer (in the event the Master Servicer is otherwise authorized by the Servicing Agreement to take such action), as applicable, determines that immediate action, with respect to the foregoing matters, or any other matter requiring consent of the Directing Holder is necessary to protect the interests of the Holders (as a collective whole) and the Special Servicer has made a reasonable effort to contact the Directing Holder, the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as the case may be, may take any such action without waiting for the Directing Holder’s response.

 

No objection, direction or advice contemplated by the preceding paragraphs may require or cause the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, to violate any provision of the Mortgage Loan Documents, applicable law, the Servicing Agreement, this Agreement, the REMIC provisions of the Code or the Master Servicer or Special Servicer’s obligation to act in accordance with the Servicing Standard or expose the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer to liability, or materially expand the scope of the Master Servicer’s or the Special Servicer’s responsibilities under the Servicing Agreement.

 

The Directing Holder shall have no liability to the other Holders or any other Person for any action taken, or for refraining from the taking of any action or the giving of any consent or the failure to give any consent pursuant to this Agreement or the Servicing Agreement, or errors in judgment, absent any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of its

 

 -21-

 

 

willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence. The Holders agree that the Directing Holder may take or refrain from taking actions, or give or refrain from giving consents, that favor the interests of one Holder over the other Holder, and that the Directing Holder may have special relationships and interests that conflict with the interests of another Holder and, absent willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of the Directing Holder agree to take no action against the Directing Holder or any of its officers, directors, employees, principals or agents as a result of such special relationships or interests, and that the Directing Holder will not be deemed to have been grossly negligent or reckless, or to have acted in bad faith or engaged in willful misfeasance or to have recklessly disregarded any exercise of its rights by reason of its having acted or refrained from acting, or having given any consent or having failed to give any consent, solely in the interests of any Holder.

 

15.           Appointment of Special Servicer. Subject to the terms of the Servicing Agreement, the Directing Holder (or such other party permitted to exercise such right under the Servicing Agreement) shall have the right at any time and from time to time, with or without cause, to replace the Special Servicer then acting with respect to the Mortgage Loan and appoint a Qualified Servicer as the replacement Special Servicer in lieu thereof. The Directing Holder shall designate a Person to serve as Special Servicer by delivering to the other Holders and the parties to the Note A-1 PSA and the Note A-2 PSA a written notice stating such designation and by satisfying the other conditions required under the Servicing Agreement (including, without limitation, a Rating Agency Confirmation, if required by the terms of the Servicing Agreement), if any.

 

16.           Rights of the Non-Directing Holders. (a) The Note A-1 PSA shall provide that the Servicer shall be required:

 

(i)            to provide copies of the same notices, information and reports that it is required to provide to the Directing Holder pursuant to the Servicing Agreement with respect to any Major Actions or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report relating to the Mortgage Loan to the Non-Directing Holders (but without regard to whether or not the Directing Holder actually has lost any rights to receive such information as a result of a Consultation Termination Event), within the same time frame as specified with respect to the Directing Holder (but without regard to whether or not the Directing Holder actually has lost any rights to receive such information as a result of a Consultation Termination Event), provided, however, that if Note A-2 has been included in a Securitization transaction, then for any information for which the Special Servicer would be required to provide to such Non-Directing Holder, the Special Servicer shall provide such notice to the master servicer of the other Securitization transaction, who shall forward such notice as and when required under the terms of the related Securitization documents; and

 

(ii)           to consult with each Non-Directing Holder on a strictly non-binding basis, if, having received such notices, information and reports, such Non-Directing Holder requests consultation with respect to any such Major Action or the implementation of any recommended actions outlined in an Asset Status Report relating to the Mortgage Loan, and consider alternative actions recommended by such Non-Directing Holder; provided

 

 -22-

 

 

that after the expiration of a period of ten (10) Business Days from the delivery to each Non-Directing Holder of written notice of a proposed action, together with copies of the notice, information and report required to be provided to the Directing Holder, the Servicer shall no longer be obligated to consult with the Non-Directing Holders, whether or not the Non-Directing Holders have responded within such ten (10) Business Day period (unless the 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 shall be begin anew from the date of such proposal and delivery of all information relating thereto).

 

(b)           Notwithstanding the foregoing non-binding consultation rights of the Non-Directing Holders, the Servicer may take any Major Action or any action set forth in the Asset Status Report before the expiration of the aforementioned ten (10) Business Day period if the Servicer determines that immediate action with respect thereto is necessary to protect the interests of the Holders.

 

(c)           In addition to the foregoing non-binding consultation rights, the Non-Directing Holders shall have the right to annual conference calls with the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer upon reasonable notice and at times reasonably acceptable to the Master Servicer or the Special Servicer, as applicable, in which servicing issues related to the Mortgage Loan are discussed.

 

(d)           In no event shall the Servicer be obligated at any time to follow or take any alternative actions recommended by any of the Non-Directing Holders.

 

(e)           Any Non-Directing Holder that is the Borrower or an Affiliate of the Borrower shall not be entitled to any of the rights set forth in this Section 16.

 

17.           Advances; Reimbursement of Advances. (a)  From time to time, (i) pursuant to terms of the Servicing Agreement, the Lead Servicer and/or the related Trustee may be obligated to make (1) Property Advances with respect to the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgaged Property and (2) P&I Advances with respect to the Lead Note and (ii) pursuant to the terms of a Non-Lead Servicing Agreement, the related Non-Lead Master Servicer and/or the related Trustee may be obligated to make P&I Advances with respect to a Non-Lead Note. The Lead Servicer and/or the related Trustee will not be required to make any P&I Advance with respect to any Non-Lead Note and the related Non-Lead Master Servicer and/or the related Trustee will not be required to make any P&I Advance with respect to any Lead Note, any other Non-Lead Note or any Property Advance. The Lead Servicer, each Non-Lead Master Servicer and any Trustee will be entitled to interest on any Advance made in the manner and from the sources provided in the Note A-1 PSA or the Note A-2 PSA, as applicable.

Subject to this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 5(f) below), the Junior Noteholder agrees that it shall have no right to, and hereby presently and irrevocably assigns and conveys to the Senior Noteholder (or the Servicer acting on behalf of the Senior Noteholder) the rights, if any, that the Junior Noteholder has to, (i) call or cause the Senior Noteholder to call an Event of Default under the Mortgage Loan, or (ii) exercise any remedies with respect to the Mortgage Loan or the Mortgage Loan Borrower, including, without limitation, filing or causing the Senior Noteholder to file any bankruptcy petition against the Mortgage Loan Borrower. The Senior Noteholder (or the Servicer acting on behalf of the Senior Noteholder) shall not have any fiduciary duty to the Junior Noteholder in connection with the administration of the Mortgage Loan (but the foregoing shall not relieve the Senior Noteholder from the obligation to make any disbursement of funds as set forth herein).

 

(b)          The administration of the Mortgage Loan shall be governed by this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement. Each Noteholder agrees to be bound by the terms of the Servicing Agreement. Servicing of the Mortgage Loan shall be carried out by the Master Servicer and, if the Mortgage Loan is a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan, by the Special Servicer, in each case pursuant to the Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in accordance with the Servicing Agreement, the Senior Noteholder shall cause the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer to service and administer the Mortgage Loan in accordance with the Servicing Standard, taking into account the interests of the Senior Noteholder and the Junior Noteholder (it being understood that the interest of the Junior Noteholder is a junior Note interest, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement), and any Junior Noteholder who is not the Mortgage Loan Borrower or a Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party shall be deemed a third party beneficiary of such provisions of the Servicing Agreement. The foregoing provisions of this Section 5(b) shall not limit or modify the rights of

 

20 

 

 

the Junior Noteholder to exercise their respective rights specifically set forth under this Agreement.

 

(c)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, but subject to the terms and conditions of the Servicing Agreement and this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 5(f) below), if the Senior Noteholder in connection with a Workout of the Mortgage Loan modifies the terms thereof such that (i) the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan is decreased, (ii) the Interest Rate or scheduled amortization payments on the Mortgage Loan are reduced, (iii) payments of interest or principal on the Mortgage Loan are waived, reduced or deferred or (iv) any other adjustment (other than an increase in the Interest Rate or increase in scheduled amortization payments) is made to any of the terms of the Mortgage Loan, all payments to the Senior Noteholder pursuant to Section 3 and Section 4, as applicable, shall be made as though such Workout did not occur, with the payment terms of the Senior Note remaining the same as they are on the date hereof, the Junior Note shall bear the full economic effect of all waivers, reductions or deferrals of amounts due on the Mortgage Loan attributable to such Workout (up to the amount otherwise due on the Junior Note). Subject to the Servicing Agreement and this Agreement (including without limitation Section 5(f) below), in the case of any modification or amendment described above, the Senior Noteholder will have the sole authority and ability to revise the payment provisions set forth in Section 3 and Section 4 above in a manner that reflects the subordination of the Junior Note to the Senior Note with respect to the loss that is the result of such amendment or modification, including: (i) the ability to increase the Senior Note Percentage Interest and to reduce the Junior Note Percentage Interest in a manner that reflects a loss in principal as a result of such amendment or modification and (ii) the ability to change the Senior Note Rate and the Junior Note Rate, as applicable, in order to reflect a reduction in the Interest Rate of the Mortgage Loan but shall not be permitted to change the order of the clauses set forth in Sections 3 and 4 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Workout, modification or amendment of the Mortgage Loan extends the original maturity date of the Mortgage Loan, for purposes of this paragraph, the Balloon Payment will be deemed not to be due on the original maturity date of the Mortgage Loan but will be deemed due on the extended maturity date of the Mortgage Loan.

 

(d)          All rights and obligations of the Senior Noteholder described hereunder may be exercised by the Servicer on behalf of the Senior Noteholder in accordance with the Servicing Agreement and this Agreement.

 

(e)          For so long as the Senior Note is included as an asset of a REMIC, any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding: (i) the Mortgage Loan shall be administered such that the Senior Note and the Junior Note shall each qualify at all times as (or as interests in) a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Sections 860G(a)(3) of the Code, (ii) any real property (and related personal property) acquired by or on behalf of the Senior Noteholder pursuant to a foreclosure, exercise of a power of sale or delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure of the Mortgage or lien on such property following a default on the Mortgage Loan shall be administered so that the interests of the Noteholders therein shall at all times qualify as “foreclosure property” within the meaning of Sections 860G(a)(8) of the Code and (iii) the Senior Noteholder may not modify, waive or amend any provision of the Mortgage Loan, consent to or withhold consent from any action of the Mortgage Loan Borrower, or exercise or refrain from exercising any powers or rights which the Senior Noteholder may have under the

 

21 

 

 

Mortgage Loan Documents, if any such action would constitute a “significant modification” of the Mortgage Loan, within the meaning of Section 1.860G 2(b) of the regulations of the United Stated Department of the Treasury, more than three months after the earliest startup day of any REMIC which includes the Senior Note (or any portion thereof).

The Junior Noteholder shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure such Monetary Default within ten (10) Business Days after receiving the Monetary Default Notice (the “Cure Period”) and at no other times.

24 

 

 

Noteholder shall pay or reimburse the Senior Noteholder for all unreimbursed Advances (whether or not recoverable), Advance Interest Amounts, any unpaid fees to any Servicer and any Additional Servicing Expenses. The Junior Noteholder shall not be required, in order to effect a cure hereunder, to pay any default interest or late charges under the Loan Documents. So long as a Monetary Default exists for which a cure payment permitted hereunder is made, such Monetary Default shall not be treated as an Event of Default by the Senior Noteholder (including for purposes of (i) the definition of “Sequential Pay Event,” (ii) accelerating the Mortgage Loan, modifying, amending or waiving any provisions of the Mortgage Loan Documents or commencing proceedings for foreclosure or the taking of title by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or other similar legal proceedings with respect to the Mortgaged Property; or (iii) treating the Mortgage Loan as a Specially Serviced Mortgage Loan); provided that such limitation shall not prevent the Senior Noteholder from collecting Default Interest or late charges from the Mortgage Loan Borrower. Any amounts advanced by a Noteholder on behalf of the Mortgage Loan Borrower to effect any cure shall be reimbursable to such Noteholder under Section 3 or Section 4, as applicable.

 

(b)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 11(a), the Junior Noteholder shall be limited to a combined total of six (6) cures of Monetary Defaults, no more than three (3) of which may be consecutive, or Non-Monetary Defaults over the term of the Mortgage Loan. Additional Cure Periods shall only be permitted with the consent of the Senior Noteholder.

 

(c)          No action taken by the Junior Noteholder in accordance with this Agreement shall excuse performance by the Mortgage Loan Borrower of its obligations under the Mortgage Loan Documents and Senior Noteholder’s rights under the Mortgage Loan Documents shall not be waived or prejudiced by virtue of the Junior Noteholder’s actions under this Agreement. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Junior Noteholder shall be subrogated to the Senior Noteholder’s rights to any payment owing to the Senior Noteholder for which the Junior Noteholder makes a cure payment as permitted under this Section 11 but such subrogation rights may not be exercised against the Mortgage Loan Borrower until 91 days after the Note is paid in full.

 

(d)          If an Event of Default (other than a Monetary Default) occurs and is continuing under the Mortgage Loan Documents (a “Non-Monetary Default”), the Senior Noteholder shall promptly provide notice to the Junior Noteholder of such failure (the “Non-Monetary Default Notice”) and the Junior Noteholder shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure such Non-Monetary Default within 10 days from the later of (i) the expiration of the cure period of the Mortgage Loan Borrower under the Mortgage Loan Document and (ii) receipt of the Non-Monetary Default Notice, to cure such Non-Monetary Default; provided, however, if such Non-Monetary Default is susceptible of cure but cannot reasonably be cured within such period and if curative action was promptly commenced and is being diligently pursued by the Junior Noteholder, the Junior Noteholder shall be given an additional period of time as is reasonably necessary to enable the Junior Noteholder in the exercise of due diligence to cure such Non-Monetary Default for so long as (i) the Junior Noteholder diligently and expeditiously proceeds to cure such Non-Monetary Default, (ii) the Junior Noteholder makes all cure payments that it is permitted to make in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 11(a) hereof, (iii) such additional period of time does not exceed sixty (60) days, (iv) such Non-Monetary

 

25 

 

 

Default is not caused by an Insolvency Proceeding or during such period of time that the Junior Noteholder has to cure a Non-Monetary Default in accordance with this Section 11(d) (the “Non-Monetary Default Cure Period”), an Insolvency Proceeding does not occur and (v) during such Non-Monetary Default Cure Period, there is no material adverse effect on the Mortgage Loan Borrower or the Mortgaged Property or the value of the Mortgage Loan as a result of such Non-Monetary Default or the attempted cure. The Non-Monetary Default Notice shall contain a statement in boldface font that the Junior Noteholder’s failure to cure such Non-Monetary Default within the applicable Non-Monetary Default Cure Period after receiving such notice will result in the termination of the right to cure such Non-Monetary Default.

 

Section 12.        Purchase of Senior Note By Junior Noteholder. The Junior Noteholder shall have the right, by written notice to the Senior Noteholder (a “Noteholder Purchase Notice”), delivered at any time an Event of Default under the Mortgage Loan has occurred and is continuing, to purchase, in immediately available funds, the Senior Note in whole but not in part at the applicable Defaulted Mortgage Loan Purchase Price. Upon the delivery of the Noteholder Purchase Notice to the Senior Noteholder, the Senior Noteholder shall sell (and the Junior Noteholder shall purchase) the Senior Note (including, without limitation, any Notes therein) at the applicable Defaulted Mortgage Loan Purchase Price, on a date (the “Defaulted Note Purchase Date”) not more than ten (10) Business Day after the written exercise of the Junior Noteholder to purchase the Senior Note. The Noteholder Purchase Notice shall contain a statement in boldface font that the Junior Noteholder’s failure to purchase the Senior Notes on a Defaulted Note Purchase Date will result in the termination of such right. The Junior Noteholder agrees that the sale of the Senior Note shall comply with all requirements of the Servicing Agreement and that all costs and expenses related thereto shall be paid by the Junior Noteholder. The Defaulted Mortgage Loan Purchase Price shall be calculated by the Senior Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) three (3) Business Days prior to the Defaulted Note Purchase Date (and such calculation shall be accompanied by a listing of all amounts included in the Defaulted Mortgage Loan Purchase Price), and shall, absent manifest error, be binding upon the Junior Noteholder. Concurrently with the payment to the Senior Noteholder in immediately available funds of its respective portion of the applicable Defaulted Mortgage Loan Purchase Price, the Senior Noteholder will execute at the sole cost and expense of the Junior Noteholder in favor of the Junior Noteholder assignment documentation which will assign the Senior Note and the Mortgage Loan Documents without recourse, representations or warranties (except the Senior Noteholder, and the Junior Noteholder, as applicable, will represent and warrant that it had good and marketable title to, was the sole owner and holder of, and had power and authority to deliver the Mortgage Loan or Note, as applicable, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances (other than the interest created by the Junior Note)). The right of the Junior Noteholder to purchase the Senior Note shall automatically terminate upon a foreclosure sale, sale by power of sale or delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure with respect to the Mortgaged Property (and the Senior Noteholder shall give the Junior Noteholder ten (10) days notice of its intent with respect to such action). Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if title to the Mortgaged Property is transferred to the Senior Noteholder (or a designee on its behalf) less than ten (10) days after the acceleration of the Mortgage Loan, the Senior Noteholder shall notify the Junior Noteholder of such transfer and the Junior Noteholder shall have a fifteen (15) day period from the date of such notice from the Senior Noteholder to deliver the Noteholder Purchase Notice to the Senior Noteholder, in which case the Junior Noteholder will be obligated to purchase the Mortgaged

Property, in immediately available funds, within such fifteen (15) day period at the applicable Defaulted Mortgage Loan Purchase Price.

Each Noteholder acknowledges that any Noteholder or its Affiliates may make loans or otherwise extend credit to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, any Affiliate of the Mortgage Loan Borrower (each such Affiliate, a “Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party”), and receive payments on such other loans or extensions of credit to Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Parties and otherwise act with respect thereto freely and without accountability in the same manner as if this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby were not in effect.

 

Section 19.         Sale of the Junior Note and the Senior Note.

 

(a)          The Junior Noteholder agrees that it will not Transfer all or any portion of the Junior Note except that the Junior Noteholder shall have the right to Transfer its respective Note, or any portion thereof, (i) to a Qualified Institutional Lender, provided, that promptly after the Transfer (x) the Senior Noteholder is provided with a representation from a transferee or the Junior Noteholder certifying that such transferee is a Qualified Institutional Lender, (y) the Senior Noteholder is provided with a copy of the assignment and assumption agreement referred to in Section 20 and (z) such transfer would not cause the Junior Note to be held by more than five persons nor cause there to be no one person owning a majority of the Junior Note and (ii) to an entity that is not a Qualified Institutional Lender; provided that the Junior Noteholder obtains with respect to a Transfer in accordance with this clause (a)(ii), the consent of the Senior Noteholder, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; provided that (x) promptly after the Transfer the Senior Noteholder is provided with a copy of the assignment and assumption agreement referred to in Section 20 and (y) such transfer would not cause the Junior Note to be held by more than five persons nor cause there to be no one person owning a majority of the Junior Note. If the Junior Note is held by more than one Junior Noteholder at any time, the holders of a majority of the Principal Balance of the Junior Note shall immediately appoint a representative to exercise all rights of the Junior Note hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the Senior Noteholder’s prior consent, which may be withheld in the Senior Noteholder’s sole discretion, the Junior Noteholder shall not Transfer all or any portion of the Junior Note to the Mortgage Loan Borrower or a Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party and any such Transfer shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee. The Junior Noteholder agrees it will pay the reasonable documented expenses of the Senior Noteholder (including all expenses of the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer) in connection with any such Transfer by the Junior Noteholder.

 

(b)          Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Junior Noteholder shall have the right, without the need to obtain the consent of the Senior Noteholder or any other Person, to Transfer 49% or less (in the aggregate) of its interest in the Junior Note to a Person that has no direct rights with respect to the Junior Note or to a Qualified Institutional Lender; provided that any such Transfer shall be made in accordance with the terms of this Section 19; provided, further that the Junior Noteholder shall not Transfer all or any portion of the Junior Note to the Mortgage Loan Borrower or a Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party and any such Transfer shall be void ab initio, absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee. All Transfers under Section 19(a) and (b) shall be made upon written notice to the Senior Noteholder not later than the date of such Transfer, and each transferee shall (i) execute an assignment and assumption agreement whereby such transferee assumes all or a ratable portion, as the case may be, of the obligations of the Junior Noteholder hereunder with respect to

 

29 

 

 

the Junior Note from and after the date of such assignment (or, in the case, of a pledge, collateral assignment or other encumbrance made in accordance with Section 19(e) by the Junior Noteholder of the Junior Note solely as security for a loan to the Junior Noteholder made by a third-party lender whereby the Junior Noteholder remains fully liable under this Agreement, on or before the date on which such lender succeeds to the rights of the Junior Noteholder by foreclosure or otherwise, such third-party lender executes an agreement that such lender shall be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the obligations of the Junior Noteholder hereunder) and (ii) agree in writing to be bound by the Servicing Agreement, unless the Servicing Agreement is not then in effect with respect to the Mortgage Loan, in which event the parties will enter into or agree to be bound by any replacement servicing agreement therefor in accordance with the provisions hereof. Upon the consummation of a Transfer of all or any portion of the Junior Note in accordance with this Agreement, the transferring Person shall be released from all liability arising under this Agreement with respect to the Junior Note (or the portion thereof that was the subject of such Transfer), for the period after the effective date of such Transfer (it being understood and agreed that the foregoing release shall not apply in the case of a sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition of a participation interest in the Junior Note as described in clause (c) below). In connection with any such permitted transfer of a portion of the Junior Note and for all purposes of this Agreement, the Senior Noteholder need only recognize the majority holder of the Junior Note for purposes of notices, consents and other communications between the Senior Noteholder and such majority holder of the Junior Note shall be the only Person authorized hereunder to exercise any rights of the Junior Noteholder under this Agreement; provided, however, the majority holder of the Junior Note may from time to time designate any other Person as an additional party entitled to receive notices, consents and other communications and/or to exercise rights on behalf of the Junior Noteholder hereunder by delivering written notice thereof to the Senior Noteholder, and, from and after delivery of such notice, such designee shall be so authorized hereunder and shall be the only party entitled to receive such notices, consents and such other communications and/or to exercise such rights.

 

(c)          In the case of any sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition of a participation interest in a Note, (i) such Noteholder’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Noteholder shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the other Noteholder and any Persons acting on its behalf shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Noteholder in connection with such Noteholder’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, and (iv) all amounts payable hereunder shall be determined as if such Noteholder had not sold such participation interest; provided, however, that if the applicable participant is a Qualified Institutional Lender (and delivers to the other Noteholder a certification from an authorized officer confirming its status as a Qualified Institutional Lender), such Noteholder, by written notice to the other Noteholder, may delegate to such participant such Noteholder’s right to exercise the rights of the Junior Noteholder hereunder and under the Servicing Agreement.

 

(d)          When no Control Appraisal Period exists, the Senior Noteholder shall not be permitted to transfer all or any portion of the Junior Note without the prior consent of the Junior Noteholder. If a Control Appraisal Period has occurred and is continuing, the Senior Noteholder (or the Special Servicer acting on its behalf) shall have the right to sell the Junior Note, subject to the provisions of the Servicing Agreement, without the Junior Noteholder’s consent, provided, however, that following any Transfer of the Senior Note, the Mortgage Loan

 

30 

 

 

continues to be serviced in its entirety pursuant to the Servicing Agreement by a Servicer unaffiliated with Mortgage Loan Borrower.

 

(e)          Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, any Noteholder may pledge (a “Pledge”) its Note to any entity (other than the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Affiliate thereof) which has extended a credit or repurchase facility to such Noteholder and that is either a Qualified Institutional Lender or a financial institution whose long-term unsecured debt is rated at least “A” (or the equivalent) or better by each Rating Agency (a “Note Pledgee”), on terms and conditions set forth in this Section 19(e), it being further agreed that a financing provided by a Note Pledgee to a Noteholder or any person which Controls such Noteholder that is secured by such Noteholder’s interest in the applicable Note and is structured as a repurchase arrangement, shall qualify as a “Pledge” hereunder, provided that a Note Pledgee which is not a Qualified Institutional Lender may not take title to the pledged Note without (a) while the Senior Note is included in a Securitization, the consent of each other Noteholder and (b) while the Senior Note is not included in a Securitization, Rating Agency Confirmation. Upon written notice by the applicable Noteholder to the other Noteholders and any Servicer that a Pledge has been effected (including the name and address of the applicable Note Pledgee), each of the other holders agrees to acknowledge receipt of such notice and thereafter agrees: (i) to give Note Pledgee written notice of any default by the pledging Noteholder in respect of its obligations under this Agreement of which default such Noteholder has actual knowledge; (ii) to allow such Note Pledgee a period of ten (10) days to cure a default by the pledging Noteholder in respect of its obligations to the other Noteholder hereunder, but such Note Pledgee shall not be obligated to cure any such default; (iii) that no amendment, modification, waiver or termination of this Agreement shall be effective against such Note Pledgee without the written consent of such Note Pledgee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; (iv) that such other Noteholder shall give to such Note Pledgee copies of any notice of default under this Agreement simultaneously with the giving of same to the pledging Noteholder and accept any cure thereof by such Note Pledgee which such pledging Noteholder has the right (but not the obligation) to effect hereunder, as if such cure were made by such pledging Noteholder; (v) that such other Noteholder shall deliver to Note Pledgee such estoppel certificate(s) as Note Pledgee shall reasonably request, provided that any such certificate(s) shall be in a form reasonably satisfactory to such other Noteholder; and (vi) that, upon written notice (a “Redirection Notice”) to the other Noteholders and any Servicer by such Note Pledgee that the pledging Noteholder is in default, beyond any applicable cure periods, under the pledging Noteholder’s obligations to such Note Pledgee pursuant to the applicable credit agreement between the pledging Noteholder and such Note Pledgee (which notice need not be joined in or confirmed by the pledging Noteholder), and until such Redirection Notice is withdrawn or rescinded by such Note Pledgee, Note Pledgee shall be entitled to receive any payments that any Noteholder or Servicer would otherwise be obligated to pay to the pledging Noteholder from time to time pursuant to this Agreement or any Servicing Agreement. Any pledging Noteholder hereby unconditionally and absolutely releases the other Noteholders and any Servicer from any liability to the pledging Noteholder on account of any Noteholder’s or Servicer’s compliance with any Redirection Notice believed by any Servicer or any such other Noteholder to have been delivered by a Note Pledgee. Note Pledgee shall be permitted to exercise fully its rights and remedies against the pledging Noteholder to such Note Pledgee (and accept an assignment in lieu of foreclosure as to such collateral), in accordance with applicable law and this Agreement. In such event, the Noteholders and any Servicer shall recognize such Note Pledgee (and any transferee other than

 

31 

 

 

the Mortgage Loan Borrower or any Affiliate thereof which is also a Qualified Institutional Lender at any foreclosure or similar sale held by such Note Pledgee or any transfer in lieu of foreclosure), and its successor and assigns, as the successor to the pledging Noteholder’s rights, remedies and obligations under this Agreement, and any such Note Pledgee or Qualified Institutional Lender shall assume in writing the obligations of the pledging Noteholder hereunder accruing from and after such Transfer (i.e., realization upon the collateral by such Note Pledgee) and agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The rights of a Note Pledgee under this Section 19(e) shall remain effective as to any Noteholder (and any Servicer) unless and until such Note Pledgee shall have notified any such Noteholder (and any Servicer, as applicable) in writing that its interest in the pledged Note has terminated.

 

(f)           Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if a conduit (“Conduit”) which is not a Qualified Institutional Lender provides financing to a Noteholder then such Noteholder shall have the right to grant a security interest in its Note to such Conduit notwithstanding that such Conduit is not a Qualified Institutional Lender, if the following conditions are satisfied:

 

(i)            The loan (the “Conduit Inventory Loan”) made by the Conduit to such Noteholder to finance the acquisition and holding of its Note will require a third party (the “Conduit Credit Enhancer”) to provide credit enhancement;

 

(ii)           The Conduit Credit Enhancer and conduit manager (if Moody’s rates the Securitization) will be a Qualified Institutional Lender;

 

(iii)          Such Noteholder will pledge (or sell, transfer or assign as part of a repurchase facility) its interest in the applicable Note to the Conduit as collateral for the Conduit Inventory Loan;

 

(iv)          The Conduit Credit Enhancer and the Conduit will agree that, if such Noteholder defaults under the Conduit Inventory Loan, or if the Conduit is unable to refinance its outstanding commercial paper even if there is no default by such Noteholder, the Conduit Credit Enhancer will purchase the Conduit Inventory Loan from the Conduit, and the Conduit will assign the pledge of such Noteholder’s Note to the Conduit Credit Enhancer; and

 

(v)           Unless the Conduit is in fact then a Qualified Institutional Lender, the Conduit will not, without obtaining the consent of each other Noteholder, have any greater right to acquire the interests in the Note pledged by such Noteholder, by foreclosure or otherwise, than would any other purchaser that is not a Qualified Institutional Lender at a foreclosure sale conducted by a Note Pledgee.

 

(g)           The Senior Noteholder may Transfer or pledge the Senior Note or portions thereof to any Person, from time to time, in its sole discretion provided, that the Senior Noteholder shall not Transfer all or any portion of the Senior Note to any Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party and any such Transfer shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee. In addition, Senior Noteholder may split the Senior Note into multiple participations without the consent of Junior Noteholder or any other Person.

 

32 

 

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Senior Noteholder shall be permitted to Transfer the Senior Note to any Mortgage Loan Borrower Related Party, if and only if, immediately following such Transfer, the Senior Note is retired and cancelled in its entirety, and, as a result, the transferee of the Senior Note shall have absolutely no right, title or interest in any portion of the Mortgage Loan.

 

Section 20.         Registration of Transfer. In connection with any Transfer of a Note (but excluding any Note Pledgee unless and until it realizes on its Pledge), a transferee shall execute an assignment and assumption agreement whereby such transferee assumes all of the obligations of the applicable Noteholder hereunder with respect to such Note thereafter accruing and agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, including the restriction on Transfers set forth in Section 19, from and after the date of such assignment. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, a Trustee shall not be required to execute an assignment and assumption agreement in connection with any Transfer of a Note if the obligations are assumed pursuant to the Securitization Servicing Agreement. No transfer of a Note may be made unless it is registered on the Note Register, and the Agent shall not recognize any attempted or purported transfer of any Note in violation of the provisions of Section 19 and this Section 20. Any such purported transfer shall be absolutely null and void and shall vest no rights in the purported transferee. Each Noteholder desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Agent and any other Noteholder against any liability that may result if the transfer is not made in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Upon a Securitization of the Senior Note, the Certificate Administrator shall automatically become and be the Agent.

 

Section 21.        Registration of the Senior Note and the Junior Note. The Agent shall keep or cause to be kept at the Agent Office books (the “Note Register”) for the registration and transfer of the Notes. The Agent shall serve as the initial Note registrar and the Agent hereby accepts such appointment. The names and addresses of the holders of the Notes and the names and addresses of any transferee of any Note of which the Agent has received notice, in the form of a copy of the assignment and assumption agreement referred to in Section 20, shall be registered in the Note Register. The Person in whose name a Note is so registered shall be deemed and treated as the sole owner and holder thereof for all purposes of this Agreement, except in the case of the Initial Senior Noteholder and the Initial Junior Noteholder who may hold their Notes through a nominee. Upon request of a Noteholder, the Agent shall provide such party with the names and addresses of the Noteholders. To the extent another party is appointed as Agent hereunder, the Senior Noteholder and the Junior Noteholder hereby designates such person as its agent under this Section 21 solely for purposes of maintaining the Note Register.

 

Section 22.        Statement of Intent. The Agent and each Noteholder intend that the Notes be classified and maintained as a grantor trust under subpart E, part I of subchapter J of chapter 1 of the Code that is a fixed investment trust within the meaning of Treasury Regulation §301.7701-4(c), and the parties will not take any action inconsistent with such classification. It is neither the purpose nor the intent of this Agreement to create a partnership, joint venture, “taxable mortgage pool” or association taxable as a corporation among the parties.

 

Section 23.        No Pledge. This Agreement shall not be deemed to represent a pledge of any interest in any Mortgage Loan by the Senior Noteholder to the Junior Noteholder. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, the Junior

 

33 

 

 

Noteholder shall not have any interest in any property taken as security for any Mortgage Loan, provided, however, that if any such property or the proceeds of any sale, lease or other disposition thereof shall be received, then the Junior Noteholder shall be entitled to receive its share of such application in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and/or the Servicing Agreement.

(b)          CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE BROUGHT IN SUCH COURTS AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT COURT AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME;

 

(c)          AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE EFFECTED BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL (OR ANY SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR FORM OF MAIL), POSTAGE PREPAID, TO ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH HEREIN OR AT SUCH OTHER ADDRESS OF WHICH A PARTY HEREIN SHALL HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED; AND

 

(d)          AGREES THAT NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT TO EFFECT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT TO SUE IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

Section 27.       Successors and Assigns; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except as provided herein, none of the provisions of this Agreement shall be for the benefit of or enforceable by any Person not a party hereto. Subject to Section 19, each Noteholder may assign or delegate its rights or obligations under this Agreement. Upon any such assignment, the assignee shall be entitled to all rights and benefits of the Senior Noteholder or the Junior Noteholder, as applicable, hereunder, including, without limitation, the right to make further assignments and grant additional Notes.

 

Section 28.        Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and all of such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

Section 31.       Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter contained in this Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings and negotiations between the parties.

 

Section 32.        Withholding Taxes.

 

(a)          If the Senior Noteholder or the Mortgage Loan Borrower shall be required by law to deduct and withhold Taxes from interest, fees or other amounts payable to the Junior Noteholder with respect to the Mortgage Loan as a result of the Junior Noteholder constituting a Non-Exempt Person, the Senior Noteholder, in its capacity as servicer, shall be entitled to do so

 

35 

 

 

with respect to the Junior Noteholder’s interest in such payment (all withheld amounts being deemed paid to the Junior Noteholder), provided that Senior Noteholder shall furnish such Junior Noteholder with a statement setting forth the amount of Taxes withheld, the applicable rate and other information which may reasonably be requested for purposes of assisting such Junior Noteholder to seek any allowable credits or deductions for the Taxes so withheld in each jurisdiction in which the Junior Noteholder is subject to tax.

 

(b)          The Junior Noteholder shall and hereby agrees to indemnify the Senior Noteholder against and hold the Senior Noteholder harmless from and against any Taxes, interest, penalties and attorneys’ fees and disbursements arising or resulting from any failure of the Senior Noteholder (or the Servicer on its behalf) to withhold Taxes from payment made to the Junior Noteholder in reliance upon any representation, certificate, statement, document or instrument made or provided by the Junior Noteholder to the Senior Noteholder in connection with the obligation of the Senior Noteholder to withhold Taxes from payments made to the Junior Noteholder, it being expressly understood and agreed that (i) the Senior Noteholder shall be absolutely and unconditionally entitled to accept any such representation, certificate, statement, document or instrument as being true and correct in all respects and to fully rely thereon without any obligation or responsibility to investigate or to make any inquiries with respect to the accuracy, veracity, correctness or validity of the same and (ii) the Junior Noteholder shall, upon request of the Senior Noteholder and at its sole cost and expense, defend any claim or action relating to the foregoing indemnification using counsel selected by the Senior Noteholder.

 

(c)          The Junior Noteholder represents to the Senior Noteholder (for the benefit of the Mortgage Loan Borrower) that it is not a Non-Exempt Person and that neither the Senior Noteholder nor the Mortgage Loan Borrower is obligated under applicable law to withhold Taxes on sums paid to it with respect to the Mortgage Loan or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement. Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement and from time to time as necessary during the term of this Agreement, the Junior Noteholder shall deliver to the Senior Noteholder or Servicer, as applicable, evidence satisfactory to the Senior Noteholder substantiating that the Junior Noteholder is not a Non-Exempt Person and that the Senior Noteholder is not obligated under applicable law to withhold Taxes on sums paid to it with respect to the Mortgage Loan or otherwise under this Agreement. Without limiting the effect of the foregoing, (i) if the Junior Noteholder is created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, it shall satisfy the requirements of the preceding sentence by furnishing to the Senior Noteholder an Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 and (ii) if the Junior Noteholder is not created or organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, and if the payment of interest or other amounts by the Mortgage Loan Borrower is treated for United States income tax purposes as derived in whole or part from sources within the United States, the Junior Noteholder shall satisfy the requirements of the preceding sentence by furnishing to the Senior Noteholder Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8IMY (with appropriate attachments) or Form W-8BEN, or successor forms, as may be required from time to time, duly executed by the Junior Noteholder, as evidence of the Junior Noteholder’s exemption from the withholding of United States tax with respect thereto. The Senior Noteholder shall not be obligated to make any payment hereunder to the Junior Noteholder in respect of its Junior Note or otherwise until the Junior Noteholder shall

Notwithstanding the to the contrary in this Agreement, upon a Securitization of the Senior Note, the Certificate Administrator shall automatically become and be the Agent.

 

Section 38.         Resizing. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, for so long as Rialto Mortgage Finance, LLC or an affiliate thereof (a “Rialto Entity”) is the owner of the Senior Note, such Rialto Entity shall have the right, subject to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents, to cause the Borrower to execute amended and restated notes or additional notes (in either case, “New Notes”) reallocating the principal of the Senior Note to such New Notes; or severing the Senior Note into one or more further “component” notes in the aggregate principal amount equal to the then outstanding principal balance of the Senior Note; provided, that (i) the aggregate principal balance of all outstanding New Notes following such amendments is no greater than the aggregate principal of the Senior Note prior to such amendments, (ii) all New Notes continue to have the same weighted average interest rate as the Senior Note prior to such amendments, (iii) all New Notes pay pro rata and on a pari passu basis and such reallocated or component notes shall be automatically subject to the terms of this Agreement, (iv) the Rialto Entity holding the New Notes shall notify the Junior Noteholder in writing of such modified allocations and principal amounts, and (v) the execution of such amendments and New Notes does not violate the Servicing Standard. If the Junior Noteholder so requests, the Rialto Entity holding the New Notes (and any subsequent holder of such Notes) shall execute a confirmation of the continuing applicability of this Agreement to the New Notes, as so modified. Except for the foregoing reallocation and for modifications pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, no Note may be modified or amended without the consent of its holder and the consent of the holder of the other Note(s). In connection with the foregoing (provided

2.Based on my knowledge, the prospectus does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading;

 

3.Based on my knowledge, the prospectus and other information included in the registration statement of which it is a part fairly present, in all material respects, the characteristics of the securitized assets, the structure of the securitization and the risks of ownership of the securities, including the risks relating to the securitized assets that would affect the cash flows available to service payments or distributions on the securities in accordance with their terms; and

 

4.Based on my knowledge, taking into account all material aspects of the characteristics of the securitized assets, the structure of the securitization, and the related risks as described in the prospectus, there is a reasonable basis to conclude that the securitization is structured to produce, but is not guaranteed by this certification to produce, expected cash flows at times and in amounts to service scheduled payments of interest and the ultimate repayment of principal on the securities (or other scheduled or required distributions on the securities, however denominated) in accordance with their terms as described in the prospectus.

(c)          With respect to any Mortgage Loan secured by a Mortgaged Property that is subject to a franchise agreement with a related comfort letter in favor of the Seller that requires notice to or request of the related franchisor to transfer or assign any related comfort letter to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders or have a new comfort letter (or any such new document or acknowledgement as may be contemplated under the existing comfort letter) issued in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, the Seller or its designee shall, within 45 days of the Closing Date (or any shorter period if required by the applicable comfort letter), provide any such required notice or make any such required request to the related franchisor for the transfer or assignment of such comfort letter or issuance of a new comfort letter (or any such new document or acknowledgement as may be contemplated under the existing comfort letter), with a copy of such notice or request to the Custodian (who shall include such document in the related Mortgage File), the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall require the Master Servicer to use reasonable efforts in accordance with the Servicing Standard to acquire such replacement comfort letter, if necessary (or to acquire any such new document or acknowledgement as may be contemplated under the existing comfort letter).

 

SECTION 4          Treatment as a Security Agreement. Pursuant to Section 1 hereof, the Seller has (subject to the limitations set forth therein) conveyed to the Purchaser all of its right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans. The parties intend that such conveyance of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute a purchase and sale and not a loan. If such conveyance is deemed to be a pledge and not a sale, then the parties also intend and agree that the Seller shall be deemed to have granted, and in such event does hereby grant, to the Purchaser, a first priority security interest in all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Mortgage Loans, all payments of principal or interest on such Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-off Date, all other payments made in respect of such Mortgage Loans after the Cut-off Date (and, in any event, excluding scheduled payments of principal and interest due on or before the Cut-off Date) and all proceeds thereof, and that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law. If such conveyance is deemed to be a pledge and not a sale, the Seller consents to the Purchaser hypothecating and transferring such security interest in favor of the Trustee and transferring the obligation secured thereby to the Trustee.

 

SECTION 5          Covenants of the Seller. The Seller covenants with the Purchaser as follows:

 

(a)          except with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, it shall record or cause a third party to record and file in the appropriate public recording office for real property records or UCC financing statements, as appropriate (or, with respect to any assignments that the Custodian has agreed to record or file pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, deliver to the Custodian for such purpose and cause the Custodian to record and file), the assignments of assignment of leases, rents and profits and the assignments of

Mortgage and each related UCC financing statement referred to in the definition of Mortgage File from the Seller to the Trustee as and to the extent contemplated under Section 2.01(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All out of pocket costs and expenses relating to the recordation or filing of such assignments, assignments of Mortgage and financing statements shall be paid by the Seller. If any such document or instrument is lost or returned unrecorded or unfiled, as the case may be, because of a defect therein, then the Seller shall prepare or cause the preparation of a substitute therefor or cure such defect or cause such defect to be cured, as the case may be, and the Seller shall record or file, or cause the recording or filing of, such substitute or corrected document or instrument or, with respect to any assignments that the Custodian has agreed to record or file pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, deliver such substitute or corrected document or instrument to the Custodian (or, if the Mortgage Loan is then no longer subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the then holder of such Mortgage Loan);

 

(b)          as to each Mortgage Loan, except with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, if the Seller cannot deliver or cause to be delivered the documents and/or instruments referred to in clauses (ii), (iv), (vii) (if recorded), (ix) and (x) of the definition of “Mortgage File” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement solely because of a delay caused by the public recording or filing office where such document or instrument has been delivered for recordation or filing, as applicable, it shall forward to the Custodian a copy of the original certified by the Seller to be a true and complete copy of the original thereof submitted for recording. The Seller shall cause each assignment referred to in Section (5)(a) above that is recorded and the file copy of each UCC financing statement assignment referred to in Section (5)(a) above to reflect that it should be returned by the public recording or filing office to the Custodian or its agent following recording (or, alternatively, to the Seller or its designee, in which case the Seller shall deliver or cause the delivery of the recorded original to the Custodian promptly following receipt); provided that, in those instances where the public recording office retains the original assignment of Mortgage or assignment of Assignment of Leases, the Custodian shall obtain therefrom a certified copy of the recorded original. On a monthly basis, at the expense of the Seller, the Custodian shall forward to the Master Servicer a copy of each of the aforementioned assignments following the Custodian’s receipt thereof;

 

(c)          it shall take any action reasonably required by the Purchaser, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Master Servicer in order to assist and facilitate the transfer of the servicing of the Mortgage Loans (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans) to the Master Servicer, including effectuating the transfer of any letters of credit with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans) to the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of Certificateholders (and, in the case of each Serviced Whole Loan, the holder of the related Serviced Companion Loan, as and to the extent applicable). Prior to the date that a letter of credit with respect to any Mortgage Loan is transferred to the Master Servicer, the Seller will cooperate with the reasonable requests of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, in connection with effectuating a draw under such letter of credit as required under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents;

(e)          if (during the period of time that the Underwriters are required, under applicable law, to deliver a prospectus related to the Public Certificates in connection with sales of the Public Certificates by an Underwriter or a dealer) the Seller has obtained actual knowledge of undisclosed or corrected information related to an event that occurred prior to the Closing Date, which event causes there to be an untrue statement of a material fact with respect to the Mortgage Loans (including any related Whole Loan, including, without limitation, the servicing terms thereof if not serviced under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, including the identification of the parties to the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the related borrowers, the related Mortgaged Property and the Seller and its affiliates (collectively, the “Seller Matters”) contained in the Offering Documents, or causes there to be an omission to state therein a material fact with respect to the Seller Matters required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein with respect to the Seller Matters, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, then the Seller shall promptly notify the Dealers and the Depositor.

(All terms under this clause (e) and not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in the Indemnification Agreement, dated as of January 26, 2016, among the Underwriters, the Initial Purchaser, the Seller and the Purchaser (the “Indemnification Agreement” and, together with this Agreement, the “Operative Documents”));

10-K Disclosure and any Form 8-K Disclosure Information indicated on Exhibit BB, Exhibit CC and Exhibit DD to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to the extent contemplated to be provided by the Seller in its capacity as a “Sponsor”, within the time periods set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; provided that, in connection with providing Additional Form 10-K Disclosure and the Seller’s reporting obligations under Item 1119 of Regulation AB, upon reasonable request by the Seller, the Purchaser shall provide the Seller with a list of all parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any other Servicing Function Participant;

 

(h)          With respect to the GLP Industrial Portfolio A Mortgage Loan and the Starwood Capital Extended Stay Portfolio Mortgage Loan, the Seller agrees that if disclosure related to the description of a party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is requested by the holder of a related Companion Loan for inclusion in the disclosure materials relating to the securitization of such Companion Loan, the reasonable costs of such party related to such disclosure and any opinion(s) of counsel, certifications and/or indemnification agreement(s) shall be paid or caused to be paid by the Seller;

 

(i)          it shall indemnify and hold harmless the Depositor and its directors and officers, and each other person who controls the Depositor within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any and all expenses, losses, claims, damages and other liabilities, including without limitation the costs of investigation, legal defense and any amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation arising out of or based upon (i) a failure of the Seller to perform its obligations under Section 5(g) or (ii) negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Seller in the performance of such obligations;

 

(j)          within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, the Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered an electronic copy of the Diligence File for each Mortgage Loan to the Depositor by uploading such Diligence File to the Designated Site, each such Diligence File being organized and categorized in accordance with the electronic file structure reasonably agreed to by the Depositor and the Seller;

the Pooling and Servicing Agreement) to enable the Asset Representations Reviewer to perform its duties under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; provided, that the Seller shall not be required to deliver any draft documents, privileged or other communications, credit underwriting, due diligence analyses or data or internal worksheets, memoranda, communications or evaluations;

 

(m)          upon the completion of an Asset Review with respect to each Mortgage Loan and receipt by the Seller of a written request from the Asset Representations Reviewer, the Seller shall pay a fee of (i) $15,000 plus $1,000 per additional Mortgaged Property with respect to each Mortgage Loan subject to an Asset Review with a Cut-off Date Balance less than $15,000,000, (ii) $20,000 plus $1,000 per additional Mortgaged Property with respect to each Mortgage Loan subject to an Asset Review with a Cut-off Date Balance greater than or equal to $15,000,000, but less than $30,000,000 or (iii) $25,000 plus $1,000 per additional Mortgaged Property with respect to each Mortgage Loan subject to an Asset Review with a Cut-off Date Balance greater than or equal to $30,000,000, in each case within ninety (90) days of such written request by the Asset Representations Reviewer;

 

(n)          the Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser against any and all expenses, losses, claims, damages and other liabilities, including without limitation the costs of investigation, legal defense and any amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation arising out of or based upon (i) any failure of the Seller to pay the fees described under Section 5(m) above within 90 days of written request by the Asset Representations Reviewer or (ii) any failure by the Seller to provide all documents and information required to be delivered by it pursuant to this Agreement and under the definition of “Diligence File” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement within 60 days of the Closing Date (or such later date specified herein or in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement);

 

(o)          the Seller acknowledges and agrees that in the event an Enforcing Party elects a dispute resolution method pursuant to Section 2.03 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Seller shall abide by the selected dispute resolution method and otherwise comply with the terms and provisions set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (including the exhibits thereto) related to such dispute resolution method;

 

(p)          prior to the delivery of the Preliminary Prospectus to investors, an officer of the Seller delivered to the Depositor a sub-certification (the “Preliminary Seller Sub-Certification”) to the certification subsequently provided by the Chief Executive Officer of the Depositor to the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Form SF-3, and prior to the time of pricing of the Certificates, an officer of the Seller has reconfirmed in writing as to the statements made in the Preliminary Seller Sub-Certification; and

(vii)        The transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser is not subject to bulk transfer laws or any similar statutory provisions in effect in any applicable jurisdiction;

 

(viii)       The Seller has no actual knowledge that any statement, report, officer’s certificate or other document prepared and furnished or to be furnished by such Seller in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, any financial cash flow models and underwriting file abstracts furnished by such Seller) (collectively, the “Provided Information”) contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or, to the extent that it has become aware of any material misstatement or omission in any Provided Information, the Seller has notified the Purchaser in writing of such material misstatement or omission at least one Business Day prior to the Time of Sale (as defined in the Indemnification Agreement) and updated such Provided Information or the material misstatement or omission has been corrected in the Time of Sale Information (as defined in the Indemnification Agreement); and

(x)          Except for the agreed-upon procedures report obtained from the accounting firm engaged to perform procedures involving a comparison of information in loan files for the Mortgage Loans to information on a data tape relating to the Mortgage Loans (such report, the “Accountants’ Due Diligence Report”), the Seller has not obtained (and, through and including the Closing Date, will not obtain without the consent of the Purchaser) any “third party due diligence report” (as defined in Rule 15Ga-

 

-10-
 

 

2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)(“Rule 15Ga-2”)) in connection with the securitization transaction contemplated herein and in the Offering Documents and, except for the accountants with respect to the Accountants’ Due Diligence Report, the Seller has not employed (and, through and including the Closing Date, will not employ without the consent of the Purchaser) any third party to engage in any activity that constitutes “due diligence services” within the meaning of Rule 17g-10 under the Exchange Act in connection with the transactions contemplated herein and in the Offering Documents. The Seller further represents and warrants that no portion of the Accountants’ Due Diligence Report contains, with respect to the information contained therein with respect to the Mortgage Loans, any names, addresses, other personal identifiers or zip codes with respect to any individuals, or any other personally identifiable or other information that would be associated with an individual, including without limitation any “nonpublic personal information” within the meaning of Title V of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999.

(b)         The Purchaser represents and warrants to the Seller as of the Closing Date that:

 

(i)          The Purchaser is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with full corporate power and authority to own its assets and conduct its business, is duly qualified as a foreign corporation in good standing in all jurisdictions in which the ownership or lease of its property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified would not have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Purchaser to perform its obligations hereunder, and the Purchaser has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by it, and has duly executed and delivered this Agreement, and has the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and all the transactions contemplated hereby;

(vii)          The Purchaser (A) prepared one or more reports on Form ABS-15G (each, a “Form 15G”) containing the findings and conclusions of the Accountants’ Due Diligence Report and meeting the requirements of Form 15G, Rule 15Ga-2 and any other rules and regulations of the Commission and the Exchange Act; (B) provided a copy of the final draft of each such Form 15G to the Underwriters and Initial Purchaser at least six (6) Business Days before the first sale in the offering contemplated by the Offering Documents; and (C) furnished each such Form 15G to the Commission on EDGAR at least five (5) Business Days before the first sale in the offering contemplated by the Offering Documents as required by Rule 15Ga-2.

(e)           Pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, if any Certificateholder, the Directing Certificateholder, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate

 

-12-
 

 

Administrator, the Operating Advisor (solely in its capacity as Operating Advisor) or the Trustee discovers or receives notice alleging a Material Defect, then such Certificateholder, Directing Certificateholder, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor (solely in its capacity as Operating Advisor) or the Trustee will be required to give prompt written notice thereof to the Seller, the parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Directing Certificateholder (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event). Promptly upon becoming aware of any such Material Defect (including through a written notice given by the Certificateholder, the Directing Certificateholder, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor (solely in its capacity as Operating Advisor) or the Trustee, as provided above), the Seller shall, not later than 90 days after (i) except in the case of the succeeding clause (ii), the applicable Seller’s discovery of the Material Defect or receipt of such notice or (ii) in the case of a Material Defect relating to a Mortgage Loan not being a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, 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, the earlier of (x) the discovery by the Seller or any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of such Material Defect or (y) receipt of notice of a discovery of such Material Defect from any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Seller, cure the same in all material respects (which cure shall include payment of any losses and additional trust fund expenses associated therewith) or, if such Material Defect cannot be cured within such 90 day period, the Seller shall either (i) substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for such affected Mortgage Loan (provided that in no event shall any such substitution occur later than the second anniversary of the Closing Date) and pay the Master Servicer, for deposit into the Collection Account, any Substitution Shortfall Amount in connection therewith or (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or any related REO Property (or the Trust’s interest therein) at the applicable Purchase Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Collection Account; provided, however, that if (i) such Material Defect is capable of being cured but not within such 90 day period, (ii) such Material Defect is not related to any Mortgage Loan’s not being a Qualified Mortgage and (iii) the Seller has commenced and is diligently proceeding with the cure of such Material Defect within such 90 day period, then the Seller shall have an additional 90 days to complete such cure (or, in the event of a failure to so cure, to complete such repurchase of the related Mortgage Loan or substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan as described above) it being understood and agreed that, in connection with the Seller’s receiving such additional 90 day period, the Seller shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator setting forth the reasons such Material Defect is not capable of being cured within the initial 90 day period and what actions the Seller is pursuing in connection with the cure thereof and stating that the Seller anticipates that such Material Defect will be cured within such additional 90 day period; and provided, further, that, if any such Material Defect is still not cured after the initial 90 day period and any such additional 90 day period solely due to the failure of the Seller to have received the recorded document, then the Seller shall be entitled to continue to defer its cure, substitution or repurchase obligations in respect of such Material Defect so long as the Seller certifies to the Trustee, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator every 30 days thereafter that the Material Defect is still in effect solely because of its failure to have received the recorded document and that the Seller is diligently pursuing the cure of such defect (specifying the actions being taken), except that no such deferral of cure, substitution or repurchase may continue beyond the date that is 18 months

 

-13-
 

 

following the Closing Date. Any such repurchase or substitution of a Mortgage Loan shall be on a whole loan, servicing released basis. The Seller shall have no obligation to monitor the Mortgage Loans regarding the existence of a Breach or a Defect, but if the Seller discovers a Material Defect with respect to a Mortgage Loan, it shall notify the Purchaser.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6(e), in lieu of the Seller performing its repurchase or substitution obligations with respect to any Material Defect provided in this Section 6(e), to the extent that the Seller and the Purchaser (or, following the assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Trust, the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust, and, if no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder) are able to agree upon the Loss of Value Payment for a Breach or Defect, the Seller may elect, in its sole discretion, to pay such Loss of Value Payment to the Purchaser (or its assignee); provided that a Material Defect as a result of a Mortgage Loan not constituting a Qualified Mortgage Loan, may not be cured by a Loss of Value Payment. Upon its making such payment, the Seller shall be deemed to have cured such Material Defect in all respects. Provided such payment is made, this paragraph describes the sole remedy available to the Purchaser and its assignees regarding any such Material Defect, and the Seller shall not be obligated to repurchase or replace the related Mortgage Loan or otherwise cure such Material Defect.

 

If any Breach pertains to a representation or warranty to the effect that the related Mortgage Loan documents or any particular Mortgage Loan document requires the related Mortgagor to bear the costs and expenses associated with any particular action or matter under such Mortgage Loan document(s), then the Seller shall not be required to repurchase or replace such Mortgage Loan and the sole remedy with respect to any Breach of such representation shall be to cure such Breach within the applicable cure period (as the same may be extended) by reimbursing the Trust (by wire transfer of immediately available funds) for (i) the reasonable amount of any such costs and expenses incurred by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Trust that are the basis of such Breach and have not been reimbursed by the related Mortgagor and (ii) the amount of any fees and reimbursable expenses of the Asset Representations Reviewer attributable to the Asset Review of such Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that in the event any such costs and expenses exceed $10,000, the Seller shall have the option to either repurchase or substitute for the related Mortgage Loan as provided above or pay such costs and expenses.  If the Seller elects to pay such costs and expenses, the Seller shall remit the amount to the Special Servicer for disbursement to the applicable persons and upon its making such remittance, the Seller shall be deemed to have cured such Breach in all respects.  To the extent any fees or expenses that are the subject of a cure by the Seller are subsequently obtained from the related Mortgagor, the portion of the cure payment equal to such fees or expenses obtained from the Mortgagor shall be returned to the Seller pursuant to Section 2.03(b) or Section 2.03(g), as applicable, of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  No delay in either the discovery of a Material Defect on the part of any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in providing notice of such Material Defect will relieve the Seller of its obligation to repurchase or substitute the related Mortgage Loan unless (i) the Seller did not otherwise discover or have knowledge of such Material Defect and (ii) such delay is the result of the failure by a party to this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to provide prompt notice as required by the terms hereof or of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement after such party has actual knowledge of such Material Defect (for the

 

-14-
 

 

avoidance of doubt, knowledge shall not be deemed to exist by reason of the Custodial Exception Report) and such delay precludes the Seller from curing such Material Defect.

 

If there is a Material Defect with respect to one or more Mortgaged Properties securing a Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall 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 Property(ies) satisfy the requirements, if any, set forth in the Mortgage Loan documents and the Seller provides an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such release does not (A) cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or (B) result in the imposition of a tax upon either Trust REMIC or the Trust and (iii) each applicable Rating Agency has provided a Rating Agency Confirmation.

 

Subject to the Seller’s right to cure set forth above in this Section 6(e), and further subject to Sections 2.01(b) and 2.01(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, any of the following will cause a document in the Mortgage File delivered by the Seller for any Mortgage Loan to be deemed to have a “Defect” that constitutes a Material Defect and to be conclusively presumed to materially and adversely affect the interests of Certificateholders in a Mortgage Loan (but solely with respect to clause (a)) and to be deemed to materially and adversely affect the interests of the Certificateholders in and the value of a Mortgage Loan: (a) the absence from the Mortgage File of the original signed Mortgage Note, unless the Mortgage File contains a signed lost note affidavit and indemnity with a copy of the Mortgage Note that appears to be regular on its face; (b) the absence from the Mortgage File of the original signed Mortgage that appears to be regular on its face, unless there is included in the Mortgage File either a copy of the Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon or a copy of the Mortgage and a certificate from the related Seller stating that the original signed Mortgage was sent for recordation; (c) the absence from the Mortgage File of the lender’s title insurance policy issued on the date of the origination of such Mortgage Loan (or, if such policy has not been issued or located, an irrevocable, binding commitment (which may be a marked version of the policy that has been executed by an authorized representative of the title company or an agreement to provide the same pursuant to binding escrow instructions executed by an authorized representative of the title company)) called for by clause (viii) of the definition of “Mortgage File” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (d) the absence from the Mortgage File of any intervening assignments required to create a complete chain of assignments to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust, unless there is included in the Mortgage File either a copy of the assignment with evidence of recording thereon or a copy of the intervening assignment and a certificate from the Seller stating that the original intervening assignments were sent for filing or recordation, as applicable; (e) the absence from the Mortgage File of any required letter of credit (except as permitted under Section 2.01(b) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement); or (f) with respect to any related leasehold Mortgage Loan, the absence from the related Mortgage File of a copy (or an original, if available) of the related Ground Lease; provided, however, that no Defect (except Defects described in clauses (a) through (f) above) shall be considered to materially and adversely affect the value of the related Mortgage Loan, the value of the related Mortgage Property or the interests of the Trustee or Certificateholders unless the document with respect to which the Defect exists is required in connection with an imminent enforcement of the lender’s rights or remedies under the related Mortgage Loan, defending any claim asserted by any Mortgagor or third party with respect to the related Mortgage Loan, establishing the validity or priority of any

 

-15-
 

 

lien on any collateral securing the related Mortgage Loan or for any immediate significant servicing obligation.

 

With respect to the GLP Industrial Portfolio A Mortgage Loan and the Starwood Capital Extended Stay Portfolio Mortgage Loan, as applicable, the Seller agrees that if a “Material Defect” under, and as such term or any analogous term is defined in, the related Non-Serviced PSA exists with respect to the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan securitized under such Non-Serviced PSA and the Seller (or any other responsible repurchasing party) repurchases the related controlling Non-Serviced Companion Loan from the related Other Securitization, then the Seller shall also promptly repurchase the GLP Industrial Portfolio A Mortgage Loan or the Starwood Capital Extended Stay Portfolio Mortgage Loan, as applicable from the Trust at the applicable Purchase Price; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to any Material Defect related solely to the promissory note for any related Non-Serviced Companion Loan.

(g)          The representations and warranties of the parties hereto shall survive the execution and delivery and any termination of this Agreement and shall inure to the benefit of the respective parties, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on the Mortgage Notes or Assignment of Mortgage or the examination of the Mortgage Files.

 

(h)          Each party hereto agrees to promptly notify the other party of any breach of a representation or warranty contained in SECTION 6(c) of this Agreement. The Seller’s obligation to cure any Material Defect, to repurchase or substitute any affected Mortgage Loan or pay the Loss of Value Payment or other required payment pursuant to this Section 6 shall constitute the sole remedy available to the Purchaser in connection with a breach of any of the Seller’s representations or warranties contained in or made pursuant to SECTION 6(c) of this Agreement or a Defect with respect to any Mortgage Loan.

 

(i)          The Seller shall promptly notify the Purchaser if (i) the Seller receives a Repurchase Communication of a Repurchase Request (other than from the Purchaser), (ii) the

For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing obligation shall not prohibit the Seller from filing a Form ABS-15G on or prior to the date on which such copy is provided to the Purchaser and the Certificate Administrator.

 

In addition, the Seller shall provide the Purchaser, upon request, such other information in its possession as would permit the Purchaser to comply with its obligations under Rule 15Ga-1 under the Exchange Act to disclose fulfilled and unfulfilled repurchase requests. Any such information requested shall be provided as promptly as practicable after such request is made.

 

The Seller agrees that no Person that is required to provide a 15Ga-1 Notice (a “15Ga-1 Notice Provider”) will be required to provide information in a 15Ga-1 Notice that is protected by the attorney-client privilege or attorney work product doctrines. In addition, the Seller hereby acknowledges that (i) any 15Ga-1 Notice provided pursuant to Section 2.02(g) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is so provided only to assist the Seller, the Depositor and their respective Affiliates to comply with Rule 15Ga-1 under the Exchange Act, Items 1104 and 1121 of Regulation AB and any other requirement of law or regulation and (ii)(A) no action taken by, or inaction of, a 15Ga-1 Notice Provider and (B) no information provided pursuant to Section 2.02(g) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by a 15Ga-1 Notice Provider in a 15Ga-1 Notice shall be deemed to constitute a waiver or defense to the exercise of any legal right the 15Ga-1 Notice Provider may have with respect to this Agreement, including with respect to any Repurchase Request that is the subject of a 15Ga-1 Notice.

 

Each party hereto agrees that the receipt of a 15Ga-1 Notice or the delivery of any notice required to be delivered pursuant to this SECTION 6(i) shall not, in and of itself, constitute delivery of notice of, receipt of notice of, or knowledge of the Seller of, any Material Defect.

Each related 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 as such enforcement may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law and except that certain provisions in such Mortgage Loan Documents (including, without limitation, provisions requiring the payment of default interest, late fees or prepayment/yield maintenance premiums) may be further limited or

rendered unenforceable by applicable law, but (subject to the limitations set forth above) such limitations or unenforceability will not render such Mortgage Loan Documents invalid as a whole or materially interfere with the mortgagee’s realization of the principal benefits and/or security provided thereby (clauses (i) and (ii) collectively, the “Insolvency 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 the Seller in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan, that would deny the mortgagee the principal benefits intended to be provided by the Note, Mortgage or other Mortgage Loan Documents.

 

4.     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 Insolvency Qualifications.

 

5.     Hospitality Provisions. The Mortgage Loan Documents for each Mortgage Loan that is secured by a hospitality property operated pursuant to a franchise agreement includes an executed comfort letter or similar agreement signed by the Mortgagor and franchisor of such property enforceable by the Trust against such franchisor, either directly or as an assignee of the originator. The Mortgage or related security agreement for each Mortgage Loan secured by a hospitality property creates a security interest in the revenues of such property for which a UCC financing statement has been filed in the appropriate filing office.

 

6.     Mortgage Status; Waivers and Modifications. Since origination and except by written instruments set forth in the related Mortgage File or as otherwise provided in the related Mortgage Loan Documents (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; (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 such Mortgaged Property; and (c) neither Mortgagor nor guarantor has been released from its obligations under the Mortgage Loan. 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 since January 16, 2016.

 

7.       Lien; Valid Assignment. Subject to the Insolvency Qualifications, each endorsement and assignment of Mortgage and assignment of Assignment of Leases (if a separate instrument from the Mortgage) from the Seller constitutes a legal, valid and binding endorsement or assignment from the 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 if identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, leasehold) interest in the Mortgaged Property in the principal amount of such

 

B-2
 

 

Mortgage Loan or allocated loan amount (subject only to Permitted Encumbrances (as defined below)), except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Insolvency Qualifications. Such Mortgaged Property (subject to Permitted Encumbrances) as of origination was, and as of the Cut-off Date to the Seller’s knowledge, is free and clear of any recorded mechanics’ liens, recorded materialmen’s liens and other recorded encumbrances, and to the Seller’s knowledge and subject to the rights of tenants, 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 insured against by a lender’s title insurance policy (as described below). Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid and enforceable lien on property described therein subject to Permitted Encumbrances, except as such enforcement may be limited by Insolvency Qualifications subject to the limitations described in clause (11) 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 extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of Uniform Commercial Code financing statements is required in order to effect such perfection.

 

The assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Depositor validly and effectively transfers and conveys all legal and beneficial ownership of the Mortgage Loans to the Depositor free and clear of any pledge, lien, encumbrance or security interest (subject to certain agreements regarding servicing as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subservicing agreements permitted thereunder and any Servicing Rights Purchase Agreement, dated as of the Closing Date, among the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Seller).

 

8.     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 specifically identified in the Title Policy; (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 which the Mortgage Loan Documents do not require to be subordinated to the lien of such Mortgage; and (f) if the related Mortgage Loan constitutes a cross-collateralized Mortgage Loan, the lien of the Mortgage for another Mortgage Loan contained in the same cross-collateralized group, provided that none of items (a) through (f), individually or in the aggregate, materially interferes with the value, current use or operation of the Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or with 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

 

B-3
 

 

due (collectively, the “Permitted Encumbrances”). 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 and no claims have been made by the Seller thereunder and no claims have been paid thereunder. Neither the Seller, nor to the 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. Each Title Policy contains no exclusion for, or affirmatively insures (except for any Mortgaged Property located in a jurisdiction where such affirmative insurance is not available in which case such exclusion may exist), (a) that the Mortgaged Property shown on the survey is the same as the property legally described in the Mortgage, and (b) to the extent that the Mortgaged Property consists of two or more adjoining parcels, such parcels are contiguous.

 

9.     Junior Liens. It being understood that B notes secured by the same Mortgage as a Mortgage Loan are not subordinate mortgages or junior liens, there are no subordinate mortgages or junior liens encumbering the related Mortgaged Property. The Seller has no knowledge of any mezzanine debt related to the Mortgaged Property and secured directly by the ownership interests in the Mortgagor.

 

10.     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). 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, 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 Insolvency Qualifications; no person other than the related Mortgagor owns any interest in any payments due under such lease or leases that is superior to or of equal priority with the lender’s interest therein. The related Mortgage or related Assignment of Leases, subject to applicable law, provides for, upon an event of default under the Mortgage Loan, a receiver 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.

 

11.     Financing Statements. Each Mortgage Loan or related security agreement establishes a valid security interest in, and a UCC-1 financing statement has been filed (except, in the case of fixtures, the Mortgage constitutes a fixture filing) in all places necessary to perfect a valid security interest in, the personal property (the creation and perfection of which is governed by the UCC) owned by the Mortgagor and necessary to operate any Mortgaged Property in its current use other than (1) non-material personal property, (2) personal property subject to purchase money security interests and (3) personal property that is leased equipment. Each UCC-1 financing statement, if any, filed with respect to personal property constituting a part of the related Mortgaged Property and each UCC-3 assignment, if any, filed with respect to such financing statement was in suitable form for filing in the filing office in which such financing statement was filed.

 

B-4
 

 

12.     Condition of Property. The Seller or the originator of the Mortgage Loan inspected or caused to be inspected each related Mortgaged Property within four 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, which indicates that, except as set forth in such engineering report or with respect to which repairs were required to be reserved for or made, all building systems for the improvements of each related Mortgaged Property are in good working order, and further indicates that each related Mortgaged Property (a) is free of any material damage, (b) is in good repair and condition, and (c) is free of structural defects, except to the extent (i) any damage or deficiencies that would not materially and adversely affect the use, operation or value of the Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or repairs with respect to such damage or deficiencies estimated to cost less than $50,000 in the aggregate per Mortgaged Property; (ii) such repairs have been completed; or (iii) escrows in an aggregate amount consistent with the standards utilized by the Seller with respect to similar loans it originates for securitization have been established, which escrows will in all events be in an aggregate amount not less than the estimated cost of such repairs. The Seller has no knowledge of any material issues with the physical condition of the Mortgaged Property that the Seller believes would have a material adverse effect on the use, operation or value of the Mortgaged Property other than those disclosed in the engineering report and those addressed in sub-clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of the preceding sentence.

 

13.     Taxes and Assessments. As of the date of origination and as of the Closing Date, all taxes and governmental assessments and other outstanding governmental charges (including, without limitation, water and sewage charges) due with respect to the Mortgaged Property (excluding any related personal property) securing a Mortgage Loan that is or if left unpaid could become a lien on the related Mortgaged Property that would be of equal or superior priority to the lien of the Mortgage and that became due and delinquent and owing prior to the Cut-off Date with respect to each related Mortgaged Property have been paid, or, if the appropriate amount of such taxes or charges is being appealed or is otherwise in dispute, the unpaid taxes or charges are covered by an escrow of funds or other security sufficient to pay such tax or charge and reasonably estimated interest and penalties, if any, thereon. For purposes of this representation and warranty, real property taxes, governmental assessments and other outstanding governmental charges shall not be considered delinquent until the date on which interest and/or penalties would be payable thereon.

 

14.     Condemnation. As of the date of origination and to the Seller’s knowledge as of the Closing Date, there is no proceeding pending or threatened for the total or partial condemnation of such Mortgaged Property that would have a material adverse effect on the use or operation of the Mortgaged Property.

 

15.     Actions Concerning Mortgage Loan. As of the date of origination and to the Seller’s knowledge as of the Closing Date, there was no pending, filed or threatened action, suit or proceeding, arbitration or governmental investigation involving any Mortgagor, guarantor, or Mortgaged Property, an adverse outcome of which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect (a) title to the Mortgaged Property, (b) the validity or enforceability of the

 

B-5
 

 

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 use, operation or value of the Mortgaged Property, (f) the principal benefit of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage Loan Documents, (g) the current ability of the Mortgaged Property to generate net cash flow sufficient to service such Mortgage Loan, or (h) the current principal use of the Mortgaged Property.

 

16.     Escrow Deposits. All escrow deposits and payments required pursuant to each Mortgage Loan (including capital improvements and environmental remediation reserves) are in the possession, or under the control, of the Seller or its servicer, and there are no deficiencies (subject to any applicable grace or cure periods) in connection therewith, and all such escrows and deposits (or the right thereto) that are required under the related Mortgage Loan Documents are being conveyed by the Seller to the Depositor or its servicer and identified as such with appropriate detail. Any and all requirements under the Mortgage Loan as to completion of any material improvements and as to disbursements of any funds escrowed for such purpose, which requirements were to have been complied with on or before Closing Date, have been complied with in all material respects or the funds so escrowed have not been released unless such release was consistent with proper and prudent commercial mortgage servicing practices or such released funds were otherwise used for their intended purpose. No other escrow amounts have been released except in accordance with the terms and conditions of the related Mortgage Loan Documents.

 

17.     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), and any requirements or conditions to disbursements of any loan proceeds held in escrow have been satisfied with respect to any disbursement of any such escrow fund prior to the Cut-off Date.

 

18.     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” (for a Mortgage Loan with a principal balance below $35 million) and “A:VIII” (for a Mortgage Loan with a principal balance of $35 million or more) from A.M. Best Company or “A3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or “A-” from Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (collectively 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.

 

B-6
 

 

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 (i) covers a period of not less than 12 months (or with respect to each Mortgage Loan with a principal balance of $35 million or more, 18 months); (ii) for a Mortgage Loan with a principal balance of $50 million or more contains a 180-day “extended period of indemnity”; and (iii) covers the actual loss sustained during restoration.

 

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 the maximum amount available under the National Flood Insurance Program, plus such additional excess flood coverage in an amount as is generally required by the Seller originating mortgage loans for securitization.

 

If windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or “named storms” are excluded from the primary property damage insurance policy the Mortgaged Property is insured by a separate windstorm insurance policy issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements or endorsement covering damage from windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or named storms, in an amount at least equal to 100% of the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of the Improvements and personalty and fixtures owned by the Mortgagor and included in the related Mortgaged Property by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements.

 

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 broad-form coverage for property damage, contractual damage and personal injury (including bodily injury and death) in amounts as are generally required by the Seller for loans originated 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 (“PML”) for the Mortgaged Property in the event of an earthquake. In such instance, the PML or equivalent 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 or equivalent 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 Investors Service, Inc. or “A-” by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services in an amount not less than 100% of the PML or the equivalent.

 

The Mortgage Loan Documents require 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, 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 together with any accrued interest thereon.

 

B-7
 

 

All premiums on all insurance policies referred to in this section required 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 general liability insurance policy, as named or additional insured. Such insurance policies will inure to the benefit of the Trustee (or the Non-Serviced Trustee for Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans). 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 the Seller.

 

19.     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 appropriate 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 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.

 

20.     No Encroachments. To the Seller’s knowledge and 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, (a) 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 are insured by applicable provisions of the Title Policy, (b) 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 are insured by applicable provisions of the Title Policy and (c) 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 are insured by applicable provisions of the Title Policy.

 

21.     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 the Seller.

 

B-8
 

 

22.     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 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 buildings and structural components thereof, 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 (1) the amount of any lien on the real property interest that is senior to the Mortgage Loan and (2) 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 Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(1)(ii)). If the Mortgage Loan or related Whole 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 related Whole 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 or related Whole 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 or related Whole Loan constitute “customary prepayment penalties” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(2). All terms used in this paragraph shall have the same meanings as set forth in the related Treasury Regulations.

 

23.     Compliance. The terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents evidencing such Mortgage Loan, comply in all material respects with all applicable local, state and federal laws and regulations, and the Seller has complied with all material requirements pertaining to the origination of the Mortgage Loans, including but not limited to, usury and any and all other material requirements of any federal, state or local law to the extent non-compliance would have a material adverse effect on the Mortgage Loan.

 

24.     Authorized to do Business. To the extent required under applicable law, as of the Closing Date or as of the date that such entity held the Note, each holder of the 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.

 

25.     Trustee under Deed of Trust. With respect to each Mortgage which is a deed of trust, 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 related

 

B-9
 

 

security for such Mortgage Loan, no fees are payable to such trustee except for reasonable fees paid by the Mortgagor.

 

26.     Local Law Compliance. To the Seller’s knowledge, based solely 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 the 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 are in material compliance with applicable laws, zoning ordinances, rules, covenants, and restrictions (collectively “Zoning Regulations”) governing the occupancy, use, and operation of such Mortgaged Property or constitute a legal non-conforming use or structure and any non-conformity with zoning laws constitutes a legal non-conforming use or structure which does not materially and adversely affect the use or operation of such Mortgaged Property. In the event of casualty or destruction, (a) the Mortgaged Property may be restored or repaired to the extent necessary to maintain the use of the structure immediately prior to such casualty or destruction, (b) law and ordinance insurance coverage has been obtained for the Mortgaged Property in amounts customarily required by the Seller for loans originated for securitization that provides coverage for additional costs to rebuild and/or repair the property to current Zoning Regulations, (c) the inability to restore the Mortgaged Property to the full extent of the use or structure immediately prior to the casualty would not materially and adversely affect the use or operation of such Mortgaged Property, or (d) title insurance coverage has been obtained for such nonconformity.

 

27.     Licenses and Permits. Each Mortgagor covenants in the Mortgage Loan Documents that it shall keep all material licenses, permits, franchises, certificates of occupancy, consents, and other approvals necessary for the operation of the Mortgaged Property in full force and effect, and to the Seller s knowledge based upon any of a letter from any government authorities or other affirmative investigation of local law compliance consistent with the investigation conducted by the Seller for similar commercial and multifamily mortgage loans intended for securitization; all such material licenses, permits, franchises, certificates of occupancy, consents, and other approvals are in effect or the failure to obtain or maintain such material licenses, permits, franchises or certificates of occupancy does not materially and adversely affect the use and/or operation of the Mortgaged Property as it was used and operated as of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan or the rights of a holder of the related Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Loan requires the related Mortgagor to be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged Property is located and for the Mortgagor and the Mortgaged Property to be in compliance in all material respects with all regulations, zoning and building laws.

 

28.     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, as of the date of origination of the related Mortgage Loan, has assets other than equity in the related Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis) in any of the following events: (i) if any petition for bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or liquidation pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law, shall be filed by, consented to, or acquiesced in by, the Mortgagor; (ii) Mortgagor or guarantor shall have colluded with other creditors to

 

B-10
 

 

cause an involuntary bankruptcy filing with respect to the Mortgagor or (iii) transfers of either the Mortgaged Property or equity interests in 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, as of the date of origination of the related Mortgage Loan, has assets other than equity in the related Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis), for losses and damages sustained in the case of (i) (A) misapplication, misappropriation or conversion of insurance proceeds or condemnation awards or of rents following an event of default, or (B) any security deposits not 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); (ii) the Mortgagor’s fraud or intentional misrepresentation; (iii) willful misconduct by the Mortgagor or guarantor; (iv) breaches of the environmental covenants in the Mortgage Loan Documents; or (v) commission of material physical waste at the Mortgaged Property, which may, with respect to this clause (v), in certain instances, be limited to acts or omissions of the related Mortgagor, guarantor, property manager or their affiliates, employees or agents.

 

29.     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 of not less than a specified percentage at least equal to 115% of the related allocated loan amount of such portion of the Mortgaged Property, (b) upon payment in full of such Mortgage Loan, (c) upon a Defeasance (defined in paragraph (34) 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 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 Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b)(2) 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), for any Mortgage Loan originated after December 6, 2010, if the fair market value of the real property constituting such Mortgaged Property after the release (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 the real property that is in parity with the Mortgage Loan) is not equal to at least 80% of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan or related Whole Loan 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 of the Code.

 

In the case of any Mortgage Loan originated after December 6, 2010, 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 related Whole Loan in an amount not less

 

B-11
 

 

than the amount required by the REMIC Provisions of the Code and, to such extent, such amount 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 the 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 related Whole Loan.

 

In the case of any Mortgage Loan originated after December 6, 2010, no such Mortgage Loan that is secured by more than one Mortgaged Property or that is cross-collateralized with another 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 the loan-to-value ratio and other requirements of the REMIC Provisions of the Code.

 

30.     Financial Reporting and Rent Rolls. Each Mortgage requires the Mortgagor to provide the owner or holder of the Mortgage 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 an annual combined balance sheet of the Mortgagor entities (and no other entities), together with the related combined statements of operations, members’ capital and cash flows, including a combining balance sheet and statement of income for the Mortgaged Properties on a combined basis and (ii) for 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.

 

31.     Acts of Terrorism Exclusion. With respect to each Mortgage Loan over $20 million, the related special-form all-risk insurance policy and business interruption policy (issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements) do not specifically 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 (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 other Mortgage Loan, the related special all-risk insurance policy and business interruption policy (issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements) did not, as of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, and, to the Seller’s knowledge, do not, as of the Cut-off Date, specifically exclude Acts of Terrorism, as defined in 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 availability on commercially reasonable terms.

 

32.     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 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 the Seller lending on the security of property comparable to the related Mortgaged Property, such as 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 controlling equity interest 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 a controlling interest in a 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, (v) transfers of common stock in publicly traded companies, (vi) a substitution or release of collateral within the parameters of paragraphs 29 and 34 in this Exhibit B, or (vii) by reason of any mezzanine debt that existed at the origination of the related Mortgage Loan, or future permitted mezzanine debt or (b) the related Mortgaged Property is encumbered with a subordinate lien or security interest against the related Mortgaged Property, other than (i) any Companion Loan of any Mortgage 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 Mortgage Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with another Mortgage Loan 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 responsible for such payment along with all other reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Mortgagee relative to such transfer or encumbrance.

 

33.     Single-Purpose Entity. Each Mortgage Loan requires 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 $20 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 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 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 Mortgage Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with the related Mortgage Loan), and that it holds itself out as a legal entity, separate and apart from any other person or entity.

 

B-13
 

 

34.     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 Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii), 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 (A) the maturity date, (B) on or after the first date on which payment may be made without payment of a yield maintenance charge or prepayment penalty or (C) if the Mortgage Loan is an ARD Loan, the entire principal balance outstanding on the related Anticipated Repayment Date, 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 115% of the allocated loan amount for the real property to be released; (iv) the defeasance collateral is not permitted to be subject to prepayment, call, or early redemption; (v) the Mortgagor is required to provide a certification from an independent certified public accountant that the collateral is sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the Note as set forth 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 Trustee 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 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.

 

35.     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 an ARD Loan and situations where default interest is imposed.

 

36.     Ground Leases. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Ground Lease” shall mean 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 and buildings and other improvements, if any, 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.

 

With respect to any Mortgage Loan where the Mortgage Loan is secured by a ground leasehold estate 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 the Seller, its successors and assigns:

 

(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.

B-14
 

 

and does not restrict the use of the related Mortgaged Property by such lessee, its successors or assigns in a manner that would adversely affect the security provided by the related Mortgage. To the Seller’s knowledge, 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) that the Ground Lease may not be amended, modified, canceled or terminated without the prior written consent of the lender and that any such action without such consent is not binding on the lender, its successors or assigns;

 

(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 borrower 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);

 

(D)          The Ground Lease is not subject to any interests, estates, liens or encumbrances superior to, or of equal priority with, the Mortgage, except for the related fee interest of the ground lessor and the Permitted Encumbrances;

 

(E)          The Ground Lease does not place commercially unreasonable restrictions on the identity of the Mortgagee and the Ground Lease is assignable to the holder of the Mortgage Loan and its successors and assigns without the consent of the lessor thereunder, and in the event it is so assigned, it is further assignable by the holder of the Mortgage Loan and its successors and assigns without the consent of the lessor;

 

(F)          The Seller has not received any written notice of default under or notice of termination of such Ground Lease. To the Seller’s knowledge, there is no default under such Ground Lease and no condition that, but for the passage of time or giving of notice, would result in a default under the terms of such Ground Lease and to the Seller’s knowledge, such Ground Lease is in full force and effect as of the Closing Date;

 

(G)          The Ground Lease or ancillary agreement between the lessor and the lessee requires the lessor to give to the lender written notice of any default, provides that no notice of default or termination is effective unless such notice is given to the lender, and requires that the ground lessor will supply an estoppel;

 

(H)          A lender is permitted a reasonable opportunity (including, where necessary, sufficient time to gain possession of the interest of the lessee under the Ground Lease through legal proceedings) to cure any default under the Ground Lease which is curable after the lender’s receipt of notice of any default before the lessor may terminate the Ground Lease;

 

(I)          The Ground Lease does not impose any restrictions on subletting that would be viewed as commercially unreasonable by the Seller in connection with loans originated for securitization;

 

B-15
 

 

(J)          Under the terms of the Ground Lease, an estoppel or other agreement received from the ground lessor and the related Mortgage (taken together), any related insurance proceeds or the portion of the condemnation award allocable to the ground lessee’s interest (other than in respect of a total or substantially total loss or taking as addressed in subpart (K)) will be applied either to the repair or to restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property with (so long as such proceeds are in excess of the threshold amount specified in the related Mortgage Loan Documents) the lender or a trustee appointed by it having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as repair or restoration progresses, or to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, together with any accrued interest;

 

(K)          In the case of a total or substantial taking or loss, under the terms of the Ground Lease, an estoppel or other agreement and the related Mortgage (taken together), any related insurance proceeds, or portion of the condemnation award allocable to ground lessee’s interest in respect of a total or substantially total loss or taking of the related Mortgaged Property to the extent not applied to restoration, will be applied first to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, together with any accrued interest; and

 

(L)          Provided that the lender cures any defaults which are susceptible to being cured, the ground lessor has agreed to enter into a new lease with lender upon termination of the Ground Lease for any reason, including rejection of the Ground Lease in a bankruptcy proceeding.

Each ARD Loan has an Anticipated Repayment Date not less than five years following the origination of such Mortgage Loan.

B-16
 

 

Mortgage Rate on such Mortgage Loan’s Anticipated Repayment Date. No ARD Loan provides that the property manager for the related Mortgaged Property can be removed by or at the direction of the mortgagee solely because of the passage of the related Anticipated Repayment Date.

All out of pocket costs and expenses relating to the recordation or filing of such assignments, assignments of Mortgage and financing statements shall be paid by the Seller.

(b)          as to each Mortgage Loan, except with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, if the Seller cannot deliver or cause to be delivered the documents and/or instruments referred to in clauses (ii), (iv), (vii) (if recorded), (ix) and (x) of the definition of “Mortgage File” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement solely because of a delay caused by the public recording or filing office where such document or instrument has been delivered for recordation or filing, as applicable, it shall forward to the Custodian a copy of the original certified by the Seller to be a true and complete copy of the original thereof submitted for recording. The Seller shall cause each assignment referred to in Section (5)(a) above that is recorded and the file copy of each UCC financing statement assignment referred to in Section (5)(a) above to reflect that it should be returned by the public recording or filing office to the Custodian or its agent following recording (or, alternatively, to the Seller or its designee, in which case the Seller shall deliver or cause the delivery of the recorded original to the Custodian promptly following receipt); provided that, in those instances where the public recording office retains the original assignment of Mortgage or assignment of Assignment of Leases, the Custodian shall obtain therefrom a certified copy of the recorded original. On a monthly basis, at the expense of the Seller, the Custodian shall forward to the Master Servicer a copy of each of the aforementioned assignments following the Custodian’s receipt thereof;

 

(c)          it shall take any action reasonably required by the Purchaser, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Master Servicer in order to assist and facilitate the transfer of the servicing of the Mortgage Loans (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans) to the Master Servicer, including effectuating the transfer of any letters of credit with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans) to the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of Certificateholders (and, in the case of each Serviced Whole Loan, the holder of the related Serviced Companion Loan, as and to the extent applicable).

(g)          for so long as the Trust (or any Other Securitization that holds a related Companion Loan) is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Seller shall provide the Purchaser (or with respect to the Sheraton Lincoln Harbor Hotel Companion Loan and the Avalon Apartments Companion Loan, if such Companion Loan (or a portion thereof) is deposited into another securitization, the depositor of such securitization) and the Certificate Administrator with any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure

Promptly upon becoming aware of any such Material Defect (including through a written notice given by the Certificateholder, the Directing Certificateholder, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor (solely in its capacity as Operating Advisor) or the Trustee, as provided above), the Seller shall, not later than 90 days after (i) except in the case of the succeeding clause (ii), the applicable Seller’s discovery of the Material Defect or receipt of such notice or (ii) in the case of a Material Defect relating to a Mortgage Loan not being a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, 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, the earlier of (x) the discovery by the Seller or any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of such Material Defect or (y) receipt of notice of a discovery of such Material Defect from any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Seller, cure the same in all material respects (which cure shall include payment of any losses and additional trust fund expenses associated therewith) or, if such Material Defect cannot be cured within such 90 day period, the Seller shall either (i) substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for such affected Mortgage Loan (provided that in no event shall any such substitution occur later than the second anniversary of the Closing Date) and pay the Master Servicer, for deposit into the Collection Account, any Substitution Shortfall Amount in connection therewith or (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or any related REO Property (or the Trust’s interest therein) at the applicable Purchase Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Collection Account; provided, however, that if (i) such Material Defect is capable of being cured but not within such 90 day period, (ii) such Material Defect is not related to any Mortgage Loan’s not being a Qualified Mortgage and (iii) the Seller has commenced and is diligently proceeding with the cure of such Material Defect within such 90 day period, then the Seller shall have an additional 90 days to complete such cure (or, in the event of a failure to so cure, to complete such repurchase of the related Mortgage Loan or substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan as described above) it being understood and agreed that, in connection with the Seller’s receiving such additional 90 day period, the Seller shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator setting forth the reasons such Material Defect is not capable of being cured within the initial 90 day period and what actions the Seller is pursuing in connection with the cure thereof and stating that the Seller anticipates that such Material Defect will be cured within such additional 90 day period; and provided, further, that, if any such Material Defect is still not cured after the initial 90 day period and any such additional 90 day period solely due to the failure of the Seller to have received the recorded document, then the Seller shall be entitled to continue to defer its cure, substitution or repurchase obligations in respect of such Material Defect so long as the Seller certifies to the Trustee, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator every 30 days thereafter that the Material Defect is still in effect solely because of its failure to have received the recorded document and that the Seller is diligently pursuing the cure of such defect (specifying the actions being taken), except that no such deferral of cure, substitution or repurchase may continue beyond the date that is 18 months

following the Closing Date. Any such repurchase or substitution of a Mortgage Loan shall be on a whole loan, servicing released basis. The Seller shall have no obligation to monitor the Mortgage Loans regarding the existence of a Breach or a Defect, but if the Seller discovers a Material Defect with respect to a Mortgage Loan, it shall notify the Purchaser.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6(e), in lieu of the Seller performing its repurchase or substitution obligations with respect to any Material Defect provided in this Section 6(e), to the extent that the Seller and the Purchaser (or, following the assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Trust, the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust, and, if no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder) are able to agree upon the Loss of Value Payment for a Breach or Defect, the Seller may elect, in its sole discretion, to pay such Loss of Value Payment to the Purchaser (or its assignee); provided that a Material Defect as a result of a Mortgage Loan not constituting a Qualified Mortgage Loan, may not be cured by a Loss of Value Payment. Upon its making such payment, the Seller shall be deemed to have cured such Material Defect in all respects. Provided such payment is made, this paragraph describes the sole remedy available to the Purchaser and its assignees regarding any such Material Defect, and the Seller shall not be obligated to repurchase or replace the related Mortgage Loan or otherwise cure such Material Defect.

 

If any Breach pertains to a representation or warranty to the effect that the related Mortgage Loan documents or any particular Mortgage Loan document requires the related Mortgagor to bear the costs and expenses associated with any particular action or matter under such Mortgage Loan document(s), then the Seller shall not be required to repurchase or replace such Mortgage Loan and the sole remedy with respect to any Breach of such representation shall be to cure such Breach within the applicable cure period (as the same may be extended) by reimbursing the Trust (by wire transfer of immediately available funds) for (i) the reasonable amount of any such costs and expenses incurred by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Trust that are the basis of such Breach and have not been reimbursed by the related Mortgagor and (ii) the amount of any fees and reimbursable expenses of the Asset Representations Reviewer attributable to the Asset Review of such Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that in the event any such costs and expenses exceed $10,000, the Seller shall have the option to either repurchase or substitute for the related Mortgage Loan as provided above or pay such costs and expenses.  If the Seller elects to pay such costs and expenses, the Seller shall remit the amount to the Special Servicer for disbursement to the applicable persons and upon its making such remittance, the Seller shall be deemed to have cured such Breach in all respects.  To the extent any fees or expenses that are the subject of a cure by the Seller are subsequently obtained from the related Mortgagor, the portion of the cure payment equal to such fees or expenses obtained from the Mortgagor shall be returned to the Seller pursuant to Section 2.03(b) or Section 2.03(g), as applicable, of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  No delay in either the discovery of a Material Defect on the part of any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in providing notice of such Material Defect will relieve the Seller of its obligation to repurchase or substitute the related Mortgage Loan unless (i) the Seller did not otherwise discover or have knowledge of such Material Defect and (ii) such delay is the result of the failure by a party to this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to provide prompt notice as required by the terms hereof or of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement after such party has actual knowledge of such Material Defect (for the

 

-14-
 

 

avoidance of doubt, knowledge shall not be deemed to exist by reason of the Custodial Exception Report) and such delay precludes the Seller from curing such Material Defect.

 

If there is a Material Defect with respect to one or more Mortgaged Properties securing a Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall 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 Property(ies) satisfy the requirements, if any, set forth in the Mortgage Loan documents and the Seller provides an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such release does not (A) cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or (B) result in the imposition of a tax upon either Trust REMIC or the Trust and (iii) each applicable Rating Agency has provided a Rating Agency Confirmation.

 

Subject to the Seller’s right to cure set forth above in this Section 6(e), and further subject to Sections 2.01(b) and 2.01(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, any of the following will cause a document in the Mortgage File delivered by the Seller for any Mortgage Loan to be deemed to have a “Defect” that constitutes a Material Defect and to be conclusively presumed to materially and adversely affect the interests of Certificateholders in a Mortgage Loan (but solely with respect to clause (a)) and to be deemed to materially and adversely affect the interests of the Certificateholders in and the value of a Mortgage Loan: (a) the absence from the Mortgage File of the original signed Mortgage Note, unless the Mortgage File contains a signed lost note affidavit and indemnity with a copy of the Mortgage Note that appears to be regular on its face; (b) the absence from the Mortgage File of the original signed Mortgage that appears to be regular on its face, unless there is included in the Mortgage File either a copy of the Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon or a copy of the Mortgage and a certificate from the related Seller stating that the original signed Mortgage was sent for recordation; (c) the absence from the Mortgage File of the lender’s title insurance policy issued on the date of the origination of such Mortgage Loan (or, if such policy has not been issued or located, an irrevocable, binding commitment (which may be a marked version of the policy that has been executed by an authorized representative of the title company or an agreement to provide the same pursuant to binding escrow instructions executed by an authorized representative of the title company)) called for by clause (viii) of the definition of “Mortgage File” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (d) the absence from the Mortgage File of any intervening assignments required to create a complete chain of assignments to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust, unless there is included in the Mortgage File either a copy of the assignment with evidence of recording thereon or a copy of the intervening assignment and a certificate from the Seller stating that the original intervening assignments were sent for filing or recordation, as applicable; (e) the absence from the Mortgage File of any required letter of credit (except as permitted under Section 2.01(b) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement); or (f) with respect to any related leasehold Mortgage Loan, the absence from the related Mortgage File of a copy (or an original, if available) of the related Ground Lease; provided, however, that no Defect (except Defects described in clauses (a) through (f) above) shall be considered to materially and adversely affect the value of the related Mortgage Loan, the value of the related Mortgage Property or the interests of the Trustee or Certificateholders unless the document with respect to which the Defect exists is required in connection with an imminent enforcement of the lender’s rights or remedies under the related Mortgage Loan, defending any claim asserted by any Mortgagor or third party with respect to the related Mortgage Loan, establishing the validity or priority of any

 

-15-
 

 

lien on any collateral securing the related Mortgage Loan or for any immediate significant servicing obligation.

 

With respect to the Sheraton Lincoln Harbor Hotel Mortgage Loan, the Seller agrees that if a “Material Defect” under, and as such term or any analogous term is defined in, the related Non-Serviced PSA exists with respect to the related Non-Serviced Companion Loan securitized under such Non-Serviced PSA and the Seller (or any other responsible repurchasing party) repurchases the related controlling Non-Serviced Companion Loan from the related Other Securitization, then the Seller shall also promptly repurchase the Sheraton Lincoln Harbor Hotel Mortgage Loan from the Trust at the applicable Purchase Price; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to any Material Defect related solely to the promissory note for any related Non-Serviced Companion Loan.

 

(f)          In connection with any repurchase or substitution of one or more Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Section 6, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall provide that the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each tender to the repurchasing entity, upon delivery to each of them of a receipt executed by the repurchasing or substituting entity evidencing such repurchase or substitution, all portions of the Mortgage File, the Servicing File and other documents and all Escrow Payments and reserve funds pertaining to such Mortgage Loan possessed by it, and each document that constitutes a part of the Mortgage File shall be endorsed or assigned to the extent necessary or appropriate to the repurchasing or substituting entity or its designee in the same manner, but only if the respective documents have been previously assigned or endorsed to the Trustee, and pursuant to appropriate forms of assignment, substantially similar to the manner and forms pursuant to which such documents were previously assigned to the Trustee or as otherwise reasonably requested to effect the retransfer and reconveyance of the Mortgage Loan and the security therefor to the Seller or its designee; provided that such tender by the Trustee and the Custodian shall be conditioned upon its receipt from the Master Servicer of a Request for Release and an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that the requirements for repurchase or substitution, as the case may be, have been satisfied.

 

(g)          The representations and warranties of the parties hereto shall survive the execution and delivery and any termination of this Agreement and shall inure to the benefit of the respective parties, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on the Mortgage Notes or Assignment of Mortgage or the examination of the Mortgage Files.

 

(h)          Each party hereto agrees to promptly notify the other party of any breach of a representation or warranty contained in SECTION 6(c) of this Agreement. The Seller’s obligation to cure any Material Defect, to repurchase or substitute any affected Mortgage Loan or pay the Loss of Value Payment or other required payment pursuant to this Section 6 shall constitute the sole remedy available to the Purchaser in connection with a breach of any of the Seller’s representations or warranties contained in or made pursuant to SECTION 6(c) of this Agreement or a Defect with respect to any Mortgage Loan.

 

(i)          The Seller shall promptly notify the Purchaser if (i) the Seller receives a Repurchase Communication of a Repurchase Request (other than from the Purchaser), (ii) the Seller repurchases or replaces a Mortgage Loan, (iii) the Seller receives a Repurchase

 

-16-
 

 

Communication of a withdrawal of a Repurchase Request of which notice has been previously received or given and which withdrawal is by the Person making such Repurchase Request (a “Repurchase Request Withdrawal”) (other than from the Purchaser) or (iv) the Seller rejects or disputes any Repurchase Request. Each such notice shall be given no later than the tenth (10th) Business Day after (A) with respect to clauses (i) and (iii) of the preceding sentence, receipt of a Repurchase Communication of a Repurchase Request or a Repurchase Request Withdrawal, as applicable, and (B) with respect to clauses (ii) and (iv) of the preceding sentence, the occurrence of the event giving rise to the requirement for such notice, and shall include (1) the identity of the related Mortgage Loan, (2) the date (x) such Repurchase Communication of such Repurchase Request or Repurchase Request Withdrawal was received, (y) the related Mortgage Loan was repurchased or replaced or (z) the Repurchase Request was rejected or disputed, as applicable, and (3) if known, the basis for (x) the Repurchase Request (as asserted in the Repurchase Request) or (y) any rejection or dispute of a Repurchase Request, as applicable.

 

The Seller shall provide to the Purchaser and the Certificate Administrator the Seller’s “Central Index Key” number assigned by the Securities and Exchange Commission and a true, correct and complete copy of the relevant portions of any Form ABS-15G that the Seller is required to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the Mortgage Loans on or before the date that is five (5) Business Days before the date such Form ABS-15G is required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing obligation shall not prohibit the Seller from filing a Form ABS-15G on or prior to the date on which such copy is provided to the Purchaser and the Certificate Administrator.

 

In addition, the Seller shall provide the Purchaser, upon request, such other information in its possession as would permit the Purchaser to comply with its obligations under Rule 15Ga-1 under the Exchange Act to disclose fulfilled and unfulfilled repurchase requests. Any such information requested shall be provided as promptly as practicable after such request is made.

 

The Seller agrees that no Person that is required to provide a 15Ga-1 Notice (a “15Ga-1 Notice Provider”) will be required to provide information in a 15Ga-1 Notice that is protected by the attorney-client privilege or attorney work product doctrines. In addition, the Seller hereby acknowledges that (i) any 15Ga-1 Notice provided pursuant to Section 2.02(g) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is so provided only to assist the Seller, the Depositor and their respective Affiliates to comply with Rule 15Ga-1 under the Exchange Act, Items 1104 and 1121 of Regulation AB and any other requirement of law or regulation and (ii)(A) no action taken by, or inaction of, a 15Ga-1 Notice Provider and (B) no information provided pursuant to Section 2.02(g) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by a 15Ga-1 Notice Provider in a 15Ga-1 Notice shall be deemed to constitute a waiver or defense to the exercise of any legal right the 15Ga-1 Notice Provider may have with respect to this Agreement, including with respect to any Repurchase Request that is the subject of a 15Ga-1 Notice.

 

Each party hereto agrees that the receipt of a 15Ga-1 Notice or the delivery of any notice required to be delivered pursuant to this SECTION 6(i) shall not, in and of itself, constitute delivery of notice of, receipt of notice of, or knowledge of the Seller of, any Material Defect.

Each party hereto agrees and acknowledges that, as of the date of this Agreement, the “Central Index Key” number of the Trust is 0001661136.

EXHIBIT B

MORTGAGE LOAN REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

 

1.     Complete Servicing File. All documents comprising the Servicing File will be or have been delivered to the Master Servicer with respect to each Mortgage Loan by the deadlines set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and/or this Agreement.

 

2.     Whole Loan; Ownership of Mortgage Loans. Except with respect to each Serviced Mortgage Loan and each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, each Mortgage Loan is a whole loan and not an interest in a mortgage loan. Each Mortgage Loan is a senior portion (or a pari passu portion of a senior portion) of a whole mortgage loan evidenced by a senior note. Immediately prior to the sale, transfer and assignment to the Depositor, no Note or Mortgage was subject to any assignment (other than assignments to the Seller), participation (other than with respect to Serviced Mortgage Loans and the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans) or pledge, and the Seller had good and marketable title to, and was the sole owner of, each Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all liens, charges, pledges, encumbrances, participations (other than with respect to any Co-Lender Agreement with respect to a Whole Loan) (subject to certain agreements regarding servicing and/or defeasance successor borrower rights as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subservicing agreements permitted thereunder and that certain Servicing Rights Purchase Agreement, dated as of the Closing Date between the Master Servicer and the Seller), any other ownership interests and other interests on, in or to such Mortgage Loan (subject to certain agreements regarding servicing and/or defeasance successor borrower rights as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subservicing agreements permitted thereunder and any Servicing Rights Purchase Agreement, dated as of the Closing Date, among the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Seller). The Seller has full right and authority to sell, assign and transfer each Mortgage Loan, and the assignment to the Depositor 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 (subject to certain agreements regarding servicing and/or defeasance successor borrower rights as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subservicing agreements permitted thereunder and any Servicing Rights Purchase Agreement, dated as of the Closing Date, among the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Seller).

 

3.     Loan Document Status. Each related 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 as such enforcement may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law and except that certain provisions in such Mortgage Loan Documents (including, without limitation, provisions requiring the payment of default interest, late fees or prepayment/yield maintenance premiums) may be further limited or

 

B-1
 

 

rendered unenforceable by applicable law, but (subject to the limitations set forth above) such limitations or unenforceability will not render such Mortgage Loan Documents invalid as a whole or materially interfere with the mortgagee’s realization of the principal benefits and/or security provided thereby (clauses (i) and (ii) collectively, the “Insolvency 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 the Seller in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan, that would deny the mortgagee the principal benefits intended to be provided by the Note, Mortgage or other Mortgage Loan Documents.

 

4.     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 Insolvency Qualifications.

 

5.     Hospitality Provisions. The Mortgage Loan Documents for each Mortgage Loan that is secured by a hospitality property operated pursuant to a franchise agreement includes an executed comfort letter or similar agreement signed by the Mortgagor and franchisor of such property enforceable by the Trust against such franchisor, either directly or as an assignee of the originator. The Mortgage or related security agreement for each Mortgage Loan secured by a hospitality property creates a security interest in the revenues of such property for which a UCC financing statement has been filed in the appropriate filing office.

 

6.     Mortgage Status; Waivers and Modifications. Since origination and except by written instruments set forth in the related Mortgage File or as otherwise provided in the related Mortgage Loan Documents (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; (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 such Mortgaged Property; and (c) neither Mortgagor nor guarantor has been released from its obligations under the Mortgage Loan. 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 since January 16, 2016.

 

7.     Lien; Valid Assignment. Subject to the Insolvency Qualifications, each endorsement and assignment of Mortgage and assignment of Assignment of Leases (if a separate instrument from the Mortgage) from the Seller constitutes a legal, valid and binding endorsement or assignment from the 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 if identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, leasehold) interest in the Mortgaged Property in the principal amount of such

 

B-2
 

 

Mortgage Loan or allocated loan amount (subject only to Permitted Encumbrances (as defined below)), except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Insolvency Qualifications. Such Mortgaged Property (subject to Permitted Encumbrances) as of origination was, and as of the Cut-off Date to the Seller’s knowledge, is free and clear of any recorded mechanics’ liens, recorded materialmen’s liens and other recorded encumbrances, and to the Seller’s knowledge and subject to the rights of tenants, 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 insured against by a lender’s title insurance policy (as described below). Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid and enforceable lien on property described therein subject to Permitted Encumbrances, except as such enforcement may be limited by Insolvency Qualifications subject to the limitations described in clause (11) 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 extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of Uniform Commercial Code financing statements is required in order to effect such perfection.

 

The assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Depositor validly and effectively transfers and conveys all legal and beneficial ownership of the Mortgage Loans to the Depositor free and clear of any pledge, lien, encumbrance or security interest (subject to certain agreements regarding servicing as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subservicing agreements permitted thereunder and any Servicing Rights Purchase Agreement, dated as of the Closing Date, among the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Seller).

 

8.     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 specifically identified in the Title Policy; (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 which the Mortgage Loan Documents do not require to be subordinated to the lien of such Mortgage; and (f) if the related Mortgage Loan constitutes a cross-collateralized Mortgage Loan, the lien of the Mortgage for another Mortgage Loan contained in the same cross-collateralized group, provided that none of items (a) through (f), individually or in the aggregate, materially interferes with the value, current use or operation of the Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or with 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

 

B-3
 

 

due (collectively, the “Permitted Encumbrances”). 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 and no claims have been made by the Seller thereunder and no claims have been paid thereunder. Neither the Seller, nor to the 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. Each Title Policy contains no exclusion for, or affirmatively insures (except for any Mortgaged Property located in a jurisdiction where such affirmative insurance is not available in which case such exclusion may exist), (a) that the Mortgaged Property shown on the survey is the same as the property legally described in the Mortgage, and (b) to the extent that the Mortgaged Property consists of two or more adjoining parcels, such parcels are contiguous.

 

9.     Junior Liens. It being understood that B notes secured by the same Mortgage as a Mortgage Loan are not subordinate mortgages or junior liens, there are no subordinate mortgages or junior liens encumbering the related Mortgaged Property. The Seller has no knowledge of any mezzanine debt related to the Mortgaged Property and secured directly by the ownership interests in the Mortgagor.

 

10.     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). 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, 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 Insolvency Qualifications; no person other than the related Mortgagor owns any interest in any payments due under such lease or leases that is superior to or of equal priority with the lender’s interest therein. The related Mortgage or related Assignment of Leases, subject to applicable law, provides for, upon an event of default under the Mortgage Loan, a receiver 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.

 

11.        Financing Statements. Each Mortgage Loan or related security agreement establishes a valid security interest in, and a UCC-1 financing statement has been filed (except, in the case of fixtures, the Mortgage constitutes a fixture filing) in all places necessary to perfect a valid security interest in, the personal property (the creation and perfection of which is governed by the UCC) owned by the Mortgagor and necessary to operate any Mortgaged Property in its current use other than (1) non-material personal property, (2) personal property subject to purchase money security interests and (3) personal property that is leased equipment. Each UCC-1 financing statement, if any, filed with respect to personal property constituting a part of the related Mortgaged Property and each UCC-3 assignment, if any, filed with respect to such financing statement was in suitable form for filing in the filing office in which such financing statement was filed.

 

B-4
 

 

12.         Condition of Property. The Seller or the originator of the Mortgage Loan inspected or caused to be inspected each related Mortgaged Property within four 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, which indicates that, except as set forth in such engineering report or with respect to which repairs were required to be reserved for or made, all building systems for the improvements of each related Mortgaged Property are in good working order, and further indicates that each related Mortgaged Property (a) is free of any material damage, (b) is in good repair and condition, and (c) is free of structural defects, except to the extent (i) any damage or deficiencies that would not materially and adversely affect the use, operation or value of the Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or repairs with respect to such damage or deficiencies estimated to cost less than $50,000 in the aggregate per Mortgaged Property; (ii) such repairs have been completed; or (iii) escrows in an aggregate amount consistent with the standards utilized by the Seller with respect to similar loans it originates for securitization have been established, which escrows will in all events be in an aggregate amount not less than the estimated cost of such repairs. The Seller has no knowledge of any material issues with the physical condition of the Mortgaged Property that the Seller believes would have a material adverse effect on the use, operation or value of the Mortgaged Property other than those disclosed in the engineering report and those addressed in sub-clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of the preceding sentence.

 

13.         Taxes and Assessments. As of the date of origination and as of the Closing Date, all taxes and governmental assessments and other outstanding governmental charges (including, without limitation, water and sewage charges) due with respect to the Mortgaged Property (excluding any related personal property) securing a Mortgage Loan that is or if left unpaid could become a lien on the related Mortgaged Property that would be of equal or superior priority to the lien of the Mortgage and that became due and delinquent and owing prior to the Cut-off Date with respect to each related Mortgaged Property have been paid, or, if the appropriate amount of such taxes or charges is being appealed or is otherwise in dispute, the unpaid taxes or charges are covered by an escrow of funds or other security sufficient to pay such tax or charge and reasonably estimated interest and penalties, if any, thereon. For purposes of this representation and warranty, real property taxes, governmental assessments and other outstanding governmental charges shall not be considered delinquent until the date on which interest and/or penalties would be payable thereon.

 

14.        Condemnation. As of the date of origination and to the Seller’s knowledge as of the Closing Date, there is no proceeding pending or threatened for the total or partial condemnation of such Mortgaged Property that would have a material adverse effect on the use or operation of the Mortgaged Property.

 

15.        Actions Concerning Mortgage Loan. As of the date of origination and to the Seller’s knowledge as of the Closing Date, there was no pending, filed or threatened action, suit or proceeding, arbitration or governmental investigation involving any Mortgagor, guarantor, or Mortgaged Property, an adverse outcome of which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect (a) title to the Mortgaged Property, (b) the validity or enforceability of the

 

B-5
 

 

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 use, operation or value of the Mortgaged Property, (f) the principal benefit of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage Loan Documents, (g) the current ability of the Mortgaged Property to generate net cash flow sufficient to service such Mortgage Loan, or (h) the current principal use of the Mortgaged Property.

 

16.        Escrow Deposits. All escrow deposits and payments required pursuant to each Mortgage Loan (including capital improvements and environmental remediation reserves) are in the possession, or under the control, of the Seller or its servicer, and there are no deficiencies (subject to any applicable grace or cure periods) in connection therewith, and all such escrows and deposits (or the right thereto) that are required under the related Mortgage Loan Documents are being conveyed by the Seller to the Depositor or its servicer and identified as such with appropriate detail. Any and all requirements under the Mortgage Loan as to completion of any material improvements and as to disbursements of any funds escrowed for such purpose, which requirements were to have been complied with on or before Closing Date, have been complied with in all material respects or the funds so escrowed have not been released unless such release was consistent with proper and prudent commercial mortgage servicing practices or such released funds were otherwise used for their intended purpose. No other escrow amounts have been released except in accordance with the terms and conditions of the related Mortgage Loan Documents.

 

17.        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), and any requirements or conditions to disbursements of any loan proceeds held in escrow have been satisfied with respect to any disbursement of any such escrow fund prior to the Cut-off Date.

 

18.        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” (for a Mortgage Loan with a principal balance below $35 million) and “A:VIII” (for a Mortgage Loan with a principal balance of $35 million or more) from A.M. Best Company or “A3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or “A-” from Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (collectively 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.

 

B-6
 

 

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 (i) covers a period of not less than 12 months (or with respect to each Mortgage Loan with a principal balance of $35 million or more, 18 months); (ii) for a Mortgage Loan with a principal balance of $50 million or more contains a 180-day “extended period of indemnity”; and (iii) covers the actual loss sustained during restoration.

 

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 the maximum amount available under the National Flood Insurance Program, plus such additional excess flood coverage in an amount as is generally required by the Seller originating mortgage loans for securitization.

 

If windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or “named storms” are excluded from the primary property damage insurance policy the Mortgaged Property is insured by a separate windstorm insurance policy issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements or endorsement covering damage from windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or named storms, in an amount at least equal to 100% of the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of the Improvements and personalty and fixtures owned by the Mortgagor and included in the related Mortgaged Property by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements.

 

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 broad-form coverage for property damage, contractual damage and personal injury (including bodily injury and death) in amounts as are generally required by the Seller for loans originated 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 (“PML”) for the Mortgaged Property in the event of an earthquake. In such instance, the PML or equivalent 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 or equivalent 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 Investors Service, Inc. or “A-” by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services in an amount not less than 100% of the PML or the equivalent.

 

The Mortgage Loan Documents require 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, 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 together with any accrued interest thereon.

 

B-7
 

 

All premiums on all insurance policies referred to in this section required 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 general liability insurance policy, as named or additional insured. Such insurance policies will inure to the benefit of the Trustee (or the Non-Serviced Trustee for Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans). 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 the Seller.

 

19.     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 appropriate 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 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.

 

20.     No Encroachments. To the Seller’s knowledge and 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, (a) 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 are insured by applicable provisions of the Title Policy, (b) 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 are insured by applicable provisions of the Title Policy and (c) 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 are insured by applicable provisions of the Title Policy.

 

21.     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 the Seller.

 

B-8
 

 

22.     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 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 buildings and structural components thereof, 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 (1) the amount of any lien on the real property interest that is senior to the Mortgage Loan and (2) 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 Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(1)(ii)). If the Mortgage Loan or related Whole 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 related Whole 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 or related Whole 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 or related Whole Loan constitute “customary prepayment penalties” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(2). All terms used in this paragraph shall have the same meanings as set forth in the related Treasury Regulations.

 

23.     Compliance. The terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents evidencing such Mortgage Loan, comply in all material respects with all applicable local, state and federal laws and regulations, and the Seller has complied with all material requirements pertaining to the origination of the Mortgage Loans, including but not limited to, usury and any and all other material requirements of any federal, state or local law to the extent non-compliance would have a material adverse effect on the Mortgage Loan.

 

24.     Authorized to do Business. To the extent required under applicable law, as of the Closing Date or as of the date that such entity held the Note, each holder of the 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.

 

25.     Trustee under Deed of Trust. With respect to each Mortgage which is a deed of trust, 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 related

 

B-9
 

 

security for such Mortgage Loan, no fees are payable to such trustee except for reasonable fees paid by the Mortgagor.

 

26.     Local Law Compliance. To the Seller’s knowledge, based solely 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 the 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 are in material compliance with applicable laws, zoning ordinances, rules, covenants, and restrictions (collectively “Zoning Regulations”) governing the occupancy, use, and operation of such Mortgaged Property or constitute a legal non-conforming use or structure and any non-conformity with zoning laws constitutes a legal non-conforming use or structure which does not materially and adversely affect the use or operation of such Mortgaged Property. In the event of casualty or destruction, (a) the Mortgaged Property may be restored or repaired to the extent necessary to maintain the use of the structure immediately prior to such casualty or destruction, (b) law and ordinance insurance coverage has been obtained for the Mortgaged Property in amounts customarily required by the Seller for loans originated for securitization that provides coverage for additional costs to rebuild and/or repair the property to current Zoning Regulations, (c) the inability to restore the Mortgaged Property to the full extent of the use or structure immediately prior to the casualty would not materially and adversely affect the use or operation of such Mortgaged Property, or (d) title insurance coverage has been obtained for such nonconformity.

 

27.     Licenses and Permits. Each Mortgagor covenants in the Mortgage Loan Documents that it shall keep all material licenses, permits, franchises, certificates of occupancy, consents, and other approvals necessary for the operation of the Mortgaged Property in full force and effect, and to the Seller s knowledge based upon any of a letter from any government authorities or other affirmative investigation of local law compliance consistent with the investigation conducted by the Seller for similar commercial and multifamily mortgage loans intended for securitization; all such material licenses, permits, franchises, certificates of occupancy, consents, and other approvals are in effect or the failure to obtain or maintain such material licenses, permits, franchises or certificates of occupancy does not materially and adversely affect the use and/or operation of the Mortgaged Property as it was used and operated as of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan or the rights of a holder of the related Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Loan requires the related Mortgagor to be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged Property is located and for the Mortgagor and the Mortgaged Property to be in compliance in all material respects with all regulations, zoning and building laws.

 

28.     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, as of the date of origination of the related Mortgage Loan, has assets other than equity in the related Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis) in any of the following events: (i) if any petition for bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or liquidation pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law, shall be filed by, consented to, or acquiesced in by, the Mortgagor; (ii) Mortgagor or guarantor shall have colluded with other creditors to

 

B-10
 

 

cause an involuntary bankruptcy filing with respect to the Mortgagor or (iii) transfers of either the Mortgaged Property or equity interests in 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, as of the date of origination of the related Mortgage Loan, has assets other than equity in the related Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis), for losses and damages sustained in the case of (i) (A) misapplication, misappropriation or conversion of insurance proceeds or condemnation awards or of rents following an event of default, or (B) any security deposits not 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); (ii) the Mortgagor’s fraud or intentional misrepresentation; (iii) willful misconduct by the Mortgagor or guarantor; (iv) breaches of the environmental covenants in the Mortgage Loan Documents; or (v) commission of material physical waste at the Mortgaged Property, which may, with respect to this clause (v), in certain instances, be limited to acts or omissions of the related Mortgagor, guarantor, property manager or their affiliates, employees or agents.

 

29.     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 of not less than a specified percentage at least equal to 115% of the related allocated loan amount of such portion of the Mortgaged Property, (b) upon payment in full of such Mortgage Loan, (c) upon a Defeasance (defined in paragraph (34) 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 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 Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b)(2) 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), for any Mortgage Loan originated after December 6, 2010, if the fair market value of the real property constituting such Mortgaged Property after the release (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 the real property that is in parity with the Mortgage Loan) is not equal to at least 80% of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan or related Whole Loan 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 of the Code.

 

In the case of any Mortgage Loan originated after December 6, 2010, 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 related Whole Loan in an amount not less

 

B-11
 

 

than the amount required by the REMIC Provisions of the Code and, to such extent, such amount 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 the 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 related Whole Loan.

 

In the case of any Mortgage Loan originated after December 6, 2010, no such Mortgage Loan that is secured by more than one Mortgaged Property or that is cross-collateralized with another 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 the loan-to-value ratio and other requirements of the REMIC Provisions of the Code.

 

30.        Financial Reporting and Rent Rolls. Each Mortgage requires the Mortgagor to provide the owner or holder of the Mortgage 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 an annual combined balance sheet of the Mortgagor entities (and no other entities), together with the related combined statements of operations, members’ capital and cash flows, including a combining balance sheet and statement of income for the Mortgaged Properties on a combined basis and (ii) for 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.

 

31.        Acts of Terrorism Exclusion. With respect to each Mortgage Loan over $20 million, the related special-form all-risk insurance policy and business interruption policy (issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements) do not specifically 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 (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 other Mortgage Loan, the related special all-risk insurance policy and business interruption policy (issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements) did not, as of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, and, to the Seller’s knowledge, do not, as of the Cut-off Date, specifically exclude Acts of Terrorism, as defined in 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 availability on commercially reasonable terms.

 

32.        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 and/or complying with the requirements of the related Mortgage Loan

 

B-12
 

 

Documents (which provide for transfers without the consent of the lender which are customarily acceptable to the Seller lending on the security of property comparable to the related Mortgaged Property, such as 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 controlling equity interest 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 a controlling interest in a 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, (v) transfers of common stock in publicly traded companies, (vi) a substitution or release of collateral within the parameters of paragraphs 29 and 34 in this Exhibit B, or (vii) by reason of any mezzanine debt that existed at the origination of the related Mortgage Loan, or future permitted mezzanine debt or (b) the related Mortgaged Property is encumbered with a subordinate lien or security interest against the related Mortgaged Property, other than (i) any Companion Loan of any Mortgage 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 Mortgage Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with another Mortgage Loan 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 responsible for such payment along with all other reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Mortgagee relative to such transfer or encumbrance.

 

33.         Single-Purpose Entity. Each Mortgage Loan requires 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 $20 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 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 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 Mortgage Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with the related Mortgage Loan), and that it holds itself out as a legal entity, separate and apart from any other person or entity.

  (D)     The Ground Lease is not subject to any interests, estates, liens or encumbrances superior to, or of equal priority with, the Mortgage, except for the related fee interest of the ground lessor and the Permitted Encumbrances;

 

  (E)     The Ground Lease does not place commercially unreasonable restrictions on the identity of the Mortgagee and the Ground Lease is assignable to the holder of the Mortgage Loan and its successors and assigns without the consent of the lessor thereunder, and in the event it is so assigned, it is further assignable by the holder of the Mortgage Loan and its successors and assigns without the consent of the lessor;

 

  (F)     The Seller has not received any written notice of default under or notice of termination of such Ground Lease. To the Seller’s knowledge, there is no default under such Ground Lease and no condition that, but for the passage of time or giving of notice, would result in a default under the terms of such Ground Lease and to the Seller’s knowledge, such Ground Lease is in full force and effect as of the Closing Date;

  (H)     A lender is permitted a reasonable opportunity (including, where necessary, sufficient time to gain possession of the interest of the lessee under the Ground Lease through legal proceedings) to cure any default under the Ground Lease which is curable after the lender’s receipt of notice of any default before the lessor may terminate the Ground Lease;

 

  (I)     The Ground Lease does not impose any restrictions on subletting that would be viewed as commercially unreasonable by the Seller in connection with loans originated for securitization;

  (K)     In the case of a total or substantial taking or loss, under the terms of the Ground Lease, an estoppel or other agreement and the related Mortgage (taken together), any related insurance proceeds, or portion of the condemnation award allocable to ground lessee’s interest in respect of a total or substantially total loss or taking of the related Mortgaged Property to the extent not applied to restoration, will be applied first to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, together with any accrued interest; and

Mortgage Rate on such Mortgage Loan’s Anticipated Repayment Date. No ARD Loan provides that the property manager for the related Mortgaged Property can be removed by or at the direction of the mortgagee solely because of the passage of the related Anticipated Repayment Date.

SECTION 1          Sale and Conveyance of Mortgages; Possession of Mortgage File. The Seller does hereby sell, transfer, assign, set over and convey to the Purchaser, without recourse (except as otherwise specifically set forth herein) (subject to the rights of each holder of an interest in any related Companion Loan, as and to the extent applicable), all of its right, title and interest (subject to certain agreements regarding servicing as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, certain subservicing agreements permitted thereunder and any agreement to the appointment of the Master Servicer, dated prior to or as of the Closing Date, among the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Seller (any such agreement a “Servicing Rights Purchase Agreement”)) in and to the Mortgage Loans identified on Exhibit A to this Agreement (the “Mortgage Loan Schedule”) including all interest and principal received on or with respect to the Mortgage Loans after the Cut-off Date (and, in any event, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, excluding payments of principal and interest first due on the Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-off Date, and excluding any defeasance rights and obligations of the Seller with respect to the Mortgage Loans).  In addition, on the Closing Date, the Seller shall cause to be delivered to the Depositor a cash amount (the “Interest Deposit Amount”) with respect to each Mortgage Loan that accrues interest on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days during each one-month interest accrual period, to be deposited by the Depositor into the Interest Reserve Account on behalf of the Seller and for the benefit of the Trust Fund, which Interest

 

 
 

 

Deposit Amount for each such Mortgage Loan shall represent an amount equal to one day of interest at the related Net Mortgage Rate on the related Cut-Off Date Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan. Upon the sale of the Mortgage Loans, the ownership of each related Mortgage Note, the Seller’s interest in the related Mortgage represented by the Mortgage Note and the other contents of the related Mortgage File (subject to the rights of each holder of an interest in any related Companion Loan, as and to the extent applicable), will be vested in the Purchaser and immediately thereafter the Trustee, and the ownership of records and documents with respect to each Mortgage Loan prepared by or which come into the possession of the Seller shall (subject to the rights of each holder of an interest in any related Companion Loan, as and to the extent applicable) immediately vest in the Purchaser and immediately thereafter the Trustee. The Purchaser will sell certain of the Certificates (the “Public Certificates”) to the underwriters (the “Underwriters”) specified in the Underwriting Agreement, dated as of January 26, 2016 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), between the Purchaser and the Underwriters, and the Purchaser will sell certain of the Certificates (the “Private Certificates”) to the initial purchaser (the “Initial Purchaser” and, collectively with the Underwriters, the “Dealers”) specified in the Purchase Agreement, dated as of January 26, 2016 (the “Certificate Purchase Agreement”), between the Purchaser and Initial Purchaser.

 

The sale and conveyance of the Mortgage Loans is being conducted on an arms-length basis and upon commercially reasonable terms. As consideration for the Mortgage Loans, the Purchaser shall pay, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to the Seller or at the Seller’s direction $149,876,728, plus accrued interest on the Mortgage Loans (excluding transaction expenses) from and including February 1, 2016 to but excluding the Closing Date (but subject to certain post-settlement adjustments for expenses incurred by the Underwriters and the Initial Purchaser on behalf of the Depositor and for which the Seller is specifically responsible). The purchase and sale of the Mortgage Loans shall take place on the Closing Date.

From and after the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser, record title to each Mortgage (other than with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and each Mortgage Note shall be transferred to the Trustee subject to and in accordance with this Agreement. Any funds due after the Cut-off Date in connection with a Mortgage Loan received by the Seller shall be held in trust on behalf of the Trustee (for the benefit of the Certificateholders) as the owner of such Mortgage Loan and shall be transferred promptly to the Certificate Administrator. All scheduled payments of principal and interest due on or before the Cut-off Date but collected after the Cut-off Date, and all recoveries and payments of principal and interest collected on or before the Cut-off Date (only in respect of principal and interest on the Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date and principal prepayments thereon), shall belong to, and shall be promptly remitted to, the Seller.

 

The transfer of each Mortgage Loan shall be reflected on the Seller’s balance sheets (and any consolidated balance sheet that includes the Seller) and other financial statements as the sale of such Mortgage Loan by the Seller to the Purchaser. The Seller intends to treat the transfer of each Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser as a sale for tax purposes.

SECTION 4          Treatment as a Security Agreement. Pursuant to Section 1 hereof, the Seller has (subject to the limitations set forth therein) conveyed to the Purchaser all of its right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans. The parties intend that such conveyance of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute a purchase and sale and not a loan. If such conveyance is deemed to be a pledge and not a sale, then the parties also intend and agree that the Seller shall be deemed to have granted, and in such event does hereby grant, to the Purchaser, a first priority security interest in all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Mortgage Loans, all payments of principal or interest on such Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-off Date, all other payments made in respect of such Mortgage Loans after the Cut-off Date (and, in any event, excluding scheduled payments of principal and interest due on or before the Cut-off Date) and all proceeds thereof, and that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law. If such conveyance is deemed to be a pledge and not a sale, the Seller consents to the Purchaser hypothecating and transferring such security interest in favor of the Trustee and transferring the obligation secured thereby to the Trustee.

(b)          as to each Mortgage Loan, except with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, if the Seller cannot deliver or cause to be delivered the documents and/or instruments referred to in clauses (ii), (iv), (vii) (if recorded), (ix) and (x) of the definition of “Mortgage File” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement solely because of a delay caused by the public recording or filing office where such document or instrument has been delivered for recordation or filing, as applicable, it shall forward to the Custodian a copy of the original certified by the Seller to be a true and complete copy of the original thereof submitted for recording. The Seller shall cause each assignment referred to in Section (5)(a) above that is recorded and the file copy of each UCC financing statement assignment referred to in Section (5)(a) above to reflect that it should be returned by the public recording or filing office to the Custodian or its agent following recording (or, alternatively, to the Seller or its designee, in which case the Seller shall deliver or cause the delivery of the recorded original to the Custodian promptly following receipt); provided that, in those instances where the public recording office retains the original assignment of Mortgage or assignment of Assignment of Leases, the Custodian shall obtain therefrom a certified copy of the recorded original. On a monthly basis, at the expense of the Seller, the Custodian shall forward to the Master Servicer a copy of each of the aforementioned assignments following the Custodian’s receipt thereof;

Prior to the date that a letter of credit with respect to any Mortgage Loan is transferred to the Master Servicer, the Seller will cooperate with the reasonable requests of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, in connection with effectuating a draw under such letter of credit as required under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents;

 

(d)          the Seller shall provide the Master Servicer the initial data with respect to each Mortgage Loan for the CREFC® Financial File and the CREFC® Loan Periodic Update File that are required to be prepared by the Master Servicer pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;

(x)          Except for the agreed-upon procedures report obtained from the accounting firm engaged to perform procedures involving a comparison of information in loan files for the Mortgage Loans to information on a data tape relating to the Mortgage Loans (such report, the “Accountants’ Due Diligence Report”), the Seller has not obtained (and, through and including the Closing Date, will not obtain without the consent of the Purchaser) any “third party due diligence report” (as defined in Rule 15Ga-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)(“Rule 15Ga-2”)) in connection with the securitization transaction contemplated herein and in the Offering Documents and, except for the accountants with respect to the Accountants’ Due Diligence Report, the Seller has not employed (and, through and including the Closing Date, will not employ without the consent of the Purchaser) any third party to engage in any activity that constitutes “due diligence services” within the meaning of Rule 17g-10 under the Exchange Act in connection with the transactions contemplated herein and in the Offering Documents.

(i)          The Purchaser is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with full corporate power and authority to own its assets and conduct its business, is duly qualified as a foreign corporation in good standing in all jurisdictions in which the ownership or lease of its property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified would not have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Purchaser to perform its obligations hereunder, and the Purchaser has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by it, and has duly executed and delivered this Agreement, and has the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and all the transactions contemplated hereby;

 

(ii)         Assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Seller, this Agreement will constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law);

 

(iii)        The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Purchaser and the performance of its obligations hereunder will not conflict with any provision of any law or regulation to which the Purchaser is subject, or conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any of the Purchaser’s organizational documents or any agreement or instrument to which the Purchaser is a party or by which it is bound, or any order or decree applicable to the Purchaser, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien on any of the Purchaser’s assets or property, in each case which would materially and adversely affect the ability of the Purchaser to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(vi)        No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and performance by the Purchaser of or compliance by the Purchaser with this Agreement or the consummation of the

 

-11-
 

 

transactions contemplated by this Agreement other than those that have been obtained by the Purchaser and other than those, which if not obtained, will not have a material adverse effect on the validity or enforceability against the Purchaser of this Agreement or on the ability of the Purchaser to perform its obligations under this Agreement; and

 

(vii)       The Purchaser (A) prepared one or more reports on Form ABS-15G (each, a “Form 15G”) containing the findings and conclusions of the Accountants’ Due Diligence Report and meeting the requirements of Form 15G, Rule 15Ga-2 and any other rules and regulations of the Commission and the Exchange Act; (B) provided a copy of the final draft of each such Form 15G to the Underwriters and Initial Purchaser at least six (6) Business Days before the first sale in the offering contemplated by the Offering Documents; and (C) furnished each such Form 15G to the Commission on EDGAR at least five (5) Business Days before the first sale in the offering contemplated by the Offering Documents as required by Rule 15Ga-2.

 

(c)          The Seller further makes the representations and warranties as to the Mortgage Loans set forth in Exhibit B to this Agreement as of the Cut-off Date or such other date set forth in Exhibit B to this Agreement, which representations and warranties are subject to the exceptions thereto set forth in Exhibit C to this Agreement.

 

(d)          Pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, if (i) any party thereto discovers or receives notice alleging a Material Defect or (ii) the Special Servicer or the Purchaser receives a Repurchase Request, such party is required to give prompt written notice thereof to the Seller, the Directing Certificateholder (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event), the parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, any related Companion Loan Holder (if applicable) and the 17g-5 Information Provider.

 

(e)          Pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, if any Certificateholder, the Directing Certificateholder, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor (solely in its capacity as Operating Advisor) or the Trustee discovers or receives notice alleging a Material Defect, then such Certificateholder, Directing Certificateholder, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor (solely in its capacity as Operating Advisor) or the Trustee will be required to give prompt written notice thereof to the Seller, the parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Directing Certificateholder (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event). Promptly upon becoming aware of any such Material Defect (including through a written notice given by the Certificateholder, the Directing Certificateholder, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor (solely in its capacity as Operating Advisor) or the Trustee, as provided above), the Seller shall, not later than 90 days after (i) except in the case of the succeeding clause (ii), the applicable Seller’s discovery of the Material Defect or receipt of such notice or (ii) in the case of a Material Defect relating to a Mortgage Loan not being a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, 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, the earlier of (x) the discovery by the Seller or any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of such Material Defect or (y) receipt of notice of a discovery of such Material Defect from any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Seller, cure the same in all material respects (which cure shall include payment of any losses and additional trust fund expenses associated therewith) or, if such Material Defect cannot be cured within such 90

 

-12-
 

 

day period, the Seller shall either (i) substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for such affected Mortgage Loan (provided that in no event shall any such substitution occur later than the second anniversary of the Closing Date) and pay the Master Servicer, for deposit into the Collection Account, any Substitution Shortfall Amount in connection therewith or (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or any related REO Property (or the Trust’s interest therein) at the applicable Purchase Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Collection Account; provided, however, that if (i) such Material Defect is capable of being cured but not within such 90 day period, (ii) such Material Defect is not related to any Mortgage Loan’s not being a Qualified Mortgage and (iii) the Seller has commenced and is diligently proceeding with the cure of such Material Defect within such 90 day period, then the Seller shall have an additional 90 days to complete such cure (or, in the event of a failure to so cure, to complete such repurchase of the related Mortgage Loan or substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan as described above) it being understood and agreed that, in connection with the Seller’s receiving such additional 90 day period, the Seller shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator setting forth the reasons such Material Defect is not capable of being cured within the initial 90 day period and what actions the Seller is pursuing in connection with the cure thereof and stating that the Seller anticipates that such Material Defect will be cured within such additional 90 day period; and provided, further, that, if any such Material Defect is still not cured after the initial 90 day period and any such additional 90 day period solely due to the failure of the Seller to have received the recorded document, then the Seller shall be entitled to continue to defer its cure, substitution or repurchase obligations in respect of such Material Defect so long as the Seller certifies to the Trustee, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator every 30 days thereafter that the Material Defect is still in effect solely because of its failure to have received the recorded document and that the Seller is diligently pursuing the cure of such defect (specifying the actions being taken), except that no such deferral of cure, substitution or repurchase may continue beyond the date that is 18 months following the Closing Date. Any such repurchase or substitution of a Mortgage Loan shall be on a whole loan, servicing released basis. The Seller shall have no obligation to monitor the Mortgage Loans regarding the existence of a Breach or a Defect, but if the Seller discovers a Material Defect with respect to a Mortgage Loan, it shall notify the Purchaser.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6(e), in lieu of the Seller performing its repurchase or substitution obligations with respect to any Material Defect provided in this Section 6(e), to the extent that the Seller and the Purchaser (or, following the assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Trust, the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust, and, if no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder) are able to agree upon the Loss of Value Payment for a Breach or Defect, the Seller may elect, in its sole discretion, to pay such Loss of Value Payment to the Purchaser (or its assignee); provided that a Material Defect as a result of a Mortgage Loan not constituting a Qualified Mortgage Loan, may not be cured by a Loss of Value Payment. Upon its making such payment, the Seller shall be deemed to have cured such Material Defect in all respects. Provided such payment is made, this paragraph describes the sole remedy available to the Purchaser and its assignees regarding any such Material Defect, and the Seller shall not be obligated to repurchase or replace the related Mortgage Loan or otherwise cure such Material Defect.

 

-13-
 

 

If any Breach pertains to a representation or warranty to the effect that the related Mortgage Loan documents or any particular Mortgage Loan document requires the related Mortgagor to bear the costs and expenses associated with any particular action or matter under such Mortgage Loan document(s), then the Seller shall not be required to repurchase or replace such Mortgage Loan and the sole remedy with respect to any Breach of such representation shall be to cure such Breach within the applicable cure period (as the same may be extended) by reimbursing the Trust (by wire transfer of immediately available funds) for (i) the reasonable amount of any such costs and expenses incurred by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Trust that are the basis of such Breach and have not been reimbursed by the related Mortgagor and (ii) the amount of any fees and reimbursable expenses of the Asset Representations Reviewer attributable to the Asset Review of such Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that in the event any such costs and expenses exceed $10,000, the Seller shall have the option to either repurchase or substitute for the related Mortgage Loan as provided above or pay such costs and expenses.  If the Seller elects to pay such costs and expenses, the Seller shall remit the amount to the Special Servicer for disbursement to the applicable persons and upon its making such remittance, the Seller shall be deemed to have cured such Breach in all respects.  To the extent any fees or expenses that are the subject of a cure by the Seller are subsequently obtained from the related Mortgagor, the portion of the cure payment equal to such fees or expenses obtained from the Mortgagor shall be returned to the Seller pursuant to Section 2.03(b) or Section 2.03(g), as applicable, of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  No delay in either the discovery of a Material Defect on the part of any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in providing notice of such Material Defect will relieve the Seller of its obligation to repurchase or substitute the related Mortgage Loan unless (i) the Seller did not otherwise discover or have knowledge of such Material Defect and (ii) such delay is the result of the failure by a party to this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to provide prompt notice as required by the terms hereof or of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement after such party has actual knowledge of such Material Defect (for the avoidance of doubt, knowledge shall not be deemed to exist by reason of the Custodial Exception Report) and such delay precludes the Seller from curing such Material Defect.

 

If there is a Material Defect with respect to one or more Mortgaged Properties securing a Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall 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 Property(ies) satisfy the requirements, if any, set forth in the Mortgage Loan documents and the Seller provides an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such release does not (A) cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or (B) result in the imposition of a tax upon either Trust REMIC or the Trust and (iii) each applicable Rating Agency has provided a Rating Agency Confirmation.

 

Subject to the Seller’s right to cure set forth above in this Section 6(e), and further subject to Sections 2.01(b) and 2.01(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, any of the following will cause a document in the Mortgage File delivered by the Seller for any Mortgage Loan to be deemed to have a “Defect” that constitutes a Material Defect and to be conclusively presumed to materially and adversely affect the interests of Certificateholders in a Mortgage Loan (but solely with respect to clause (a)) and to be deemed to materially and adversely affect the interests of the Certificateholders in and the value of a Mortgage Loan: (a) the absence from

 

-14-
 

 

the Mortgage File of the original signed Mortgage Note, unless the Mortgage File contains a signed lost note affidavit and indemnity with a copy of the Mortgage Note that appears to be regular on its face; (b) the absence from the Mortgage File of the original signed Mortgage that appears to be regular on its face, unless there is included in the Mortgage File either a copy of the Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon or a copy of the Mortgage and a certificate from the related Seller stating that the original signed Mortgage was sent for recordation; (c) the absence from the Mortgage File of the lender’s title insurance policy issued on the date of the origination of such Mortgage Loan (or, if such policy has not been issued or located, an irrevocable, binding commitment (which may be a marked version of the policy that has been executed by an authorized representative of the title company or an agreement to provide the same pursuant to binding escrow instructions executed by an authorized representative of the title company)) called for by clause (viii) of the definition of “Mortgage File” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (d) the absence from the Mortgage File of any intervening assignments required to create a complete chain of assignments to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust, unless there is included in the Mortgage File either a copy of the assignment with evidence of recording thereon or a copy of the intervening assignment and a certificate from the Seller stating that the original intervening assignments were sent for filing or recordation, as applicable; (e) the absence from the Mortgage File of any required letter of credit (except as permitted under Section 2.01(b) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement); or (f) with respect to any related leasehold Mortgage Loan, the absence from the related Mortgage File of a copy (or an original, if available) of the related Ground Lease; provided, however, that no Defect (except Defects described in clauses (a) through (f) above) shall be considered to materially and adversely affect the value of the related Mortgage Loan, the value of the related Mortgage Property or the interests of the Trustee or Certificateholders unless the document with respect to which the Defect exists is required in connection with an imminent enforcement of the lender’s rights or remedies under the related Mortgage Loan, defending any claim asserted by any Mortgagor or third party with respect to the related Mortgage Loan, establishing the validity or priority of any lien on any collateral securing the related Mortgage Loan or for any immediate significant servicing obligation.

 

(f)          In connection with any repurchase or substitution of one or more Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Section 6, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall provide that the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each tender to the repurchasing entity, upon delivery to each of them of a receipt executed by the repurchasing or substituting entity evidencing such repurchase or substitution, all portions of the Mortgage File, the Servicing File and other documents and all Escrow Payments and reserve funds pertaining to such Mortgage Loan possessed by it, and each document that constitutes a part of the Mortgage File shall be endorsed or assigned to the extent necessary or appropriate to the repurchasing or substituting entity or its designee in the same manner, but only if the respective documents have been previously assigned or endorsed to the Trustee, and pursuant to appropriate forms of assignment, substantially similar to the manner and forms pursuant to which such documents were previously assigned to the Trustee or as otherwise reasonably requested to effect the retransfer and reconveyance of the Mortgage Loan and the security therefor to the Seller or its designee; provided that such tender by the Trustee and the Custodian shall be conditioned upon its receipt from the Master Servicer of a Request for Release and an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that the requirements for repurchase or substitution, as the case may be, have been satisfied.

 

-15-
 

 

(g)          The representations and warranties of the parties hereto shall survive the execution and delivery and any termination of this Agreement and shall inure to the benefit of the respective parties, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on the Mortgage Notes or Assignment of Mortgage or the examination of the Mortgage Files.

 

(h)          Each party hereto agrees to promptly notify the other party of any breach of a representation or warranty contained in SECTION 6(c) of this Agreement. The Seller’s obligation to cure any Material Defect, to repurchase or substitute any affected Mortgage Loan or pay the Loss of Value Payment or other required payment pursuant to this Section 6 shall constitute the sole remedy available to the Purchaser in connection with a breach of any of the Seller’s representations or warranties contained in or made pursuant to SECTION 6(c) of this Agreement or a Defect with respect to any Mortgage Loan.

 

(i)           The Seller shall promptly notify the Purchaser if (i) the Seller receives a Repurchase Communication of a Repurchase Request (other than from the Purchaser), (ii) the Seller repurchases or replaces a Mortgage Loan, (iii) the Seller receives a Repurchase Communication of a withdrawal of a Repurchase Request of which notice has been previously received or given and which withdrawal is by the Person making such Repurchase Request (a “Repurchase Request Withdrawal”) (other than from the Purchaser) or (iv) the Seller rejects or disputes any Repurchase Request. Each such notice shall be given no later than the tenth (10th) Business Day after (A) with respect to clauses (i) and (iii) of the preceding sentence, receipt of a Repurchase Communication of a Repurchase Request or a Repurchase Request Withdrawal, as applicable, and (B) with respect to clauses (ii) and (iv) of the preceding sentence, the occurrence of the event giving rise to the requirement for such notice, and shall include (1) the identity of the related Mortgage Loan, (2) the date (x) such Repurchase Communication of such Repurchase Request or Repurchase Request Withdrawal was received, (y) the related Mortgage Loan was repurchased or replaced or (z) the Repurchase Request was rejected or disputed, as applicable, and (3) if known, the basis for (x) the Repurchase Request (as asserted in the Repurchase Request) or (y) any rejection or dispute of a Repurchase Request, as applicable.

 

The Seller shall provide to the Purchaser and the Certificate Administrator the Seller’s “Central Index Key” number assigned by the Securities and Exchange Commission and a true, correct and complete copy of the relevant portions of any Form ABS-15G that the Seller is required to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the Mortgage Loans on or before the date that is five (5) Business Days before the date such Form ABS-15G is required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing obligation shall not prohibit the Seller from filing a Form ABS-15G on or prior to the date on which such copy is provided to the Purchaser and the Certificate Administrator.

 

In addition, the Seller shall provide the Purchaser, upon request, such other information in its possession as would permit the Purchaser to comply with its obligations under Rule 15Ga-1 under the Exchange Act to disclose fulfilled and unfulfilled repurchase requests. Any such information requested shall be provided as promptly as practicable after such request is made.

 

The Seller agrees that no Person that is required to provide a 15Ga-1 Notice (a “15Ga-1 Notice Provider”) will be required to provide information in a 15Ga-1 Notice that is

 

-16-
 

 

protected by the attorney-client privilege or attorney work product doctrines. In addition, the Seller hereby acknowledges that (i) any 15Ga-1 Notice provided pursuant to Section 2.02(g) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is so provided only to assist the Seller, the Depositor and their respective Affiliates to comply with Rule 15Ga-1 under the Exchange Act, Items 1104 and 1121 of Regulation AB and any other requirement of law or regulation and (ii)(A) no action taken by, or inaction of, a 15Ga-1 Notice Provider and (B) no information provided pursuant to Section 2.02(g) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by a 15Ga-1 Notice Provider in a 15Ga-1 Notice shall be deemed to constitute a waiver or defense to the exercise of any legal right the 15Ga-1 Notice Provider may have with respect to this Agreement, including with respect to any Repurchase Request that is the subject of a 15Ga-1 Notice.

 

Each party hereto agrees that the receipt of a 15Ga-1 Notice or the delivery of any notice required to be delivered pursuant to this SECTION 6(i) shall not, in and of itself, constitute delivery of notice of, receipt of notice of, or knowledge of the Seller of, any Material Defect.

 

Each party hereto agrees and acknowledges that, as of the date of this Agreement, the “Central Index Key” number of the Trust is 0001661136.

No amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement which changes in any manner (i) any defined term contained therein, (ii) any obligations or rights of the Seller herein or otherwise or (iii) any rights of the Seller as a third-party beneficiary of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be effective against the Seller unless the Seller shall have agreed to such amendment in writing.

Except as set forth in SECTION 6(h) of this Agreement, the rights and remedies herein expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which any party would otherwise have pursuant to law or equity.

SECTION 21          No Partnership. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed or construed to create a partnership or joint venture between the parties hereto. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed or construed as creating an agency relationship between the Purchaser and the Seller and neither the Purchaser nor the Seller shall take any action which could reasonably lead a third party to assume that it has the authority to bind the other party or make commitments on such party’s behalf.

EXHIBIT B

MORTGAGE LOAN REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

 

1.     Complete Servicing File. All documents comprising the Servicing File will be or have been delivered to the Master Servicer with respect to each Mortgage Loan by the deadlines set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and/or this Agreement.

 

2.           Whole Loan; Ownership of Mortgage Loans. Except with respect to each Serviced Mortgage Loan and each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, each Mortgage Loan is a whole loan and not an interest in a mortgage loan. Each Mortgage Loan is a senior portion (or a pari passu portion of a senior portion) of a whole mortgage loan evidenced by a senior note. Immediately prior to the sale, transfer and assignment to the Depositor, no Note or Mortgage was subject to any assignment (other than assignments to the Seller), participation (other than with respect to Serviced Mortgage Loans and the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans) or pledge, and the Seller had good and marketable title to, and was the sole owner of, each Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all liens, charges, pledges, encumbrances, participations (other than with respect to any Co-Lender Agreement with respect to a Whole Loan) (subject to certain agreements regarding servicing and/or defeasance successor borrower rights as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subservicing agreements permitted thereunder and that certain Servicing Rights Purchase Agreement, dated as of the Closing Date between the Master Servicer and the Seller), any other ownership interests and other interests on, in or to such Mortgage Loan (subject to certain agreements regarding servicing and/or defeasance successor borrower rights as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subservicing agreements permitted thereunder and any Servicing Rights Purchase Agreement, dated as of the Closing Date, among the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Seller). The Seller has full right and authority to sell, assign and transfer each Mortgage Loan, and the assignment to the Depositor 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 (subject to certain agreements regarding servicing and/or defeasance successor borrower rights as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subservicing agreements permitted thereunder and any Servicing Rights Purchase Agreement, dated as of the Closing Date, among the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Seller).

 

3.     Loan Document Status. Each related 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 as such enforcement may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law and except that certain provisions in such Mortgage Loan Documents (including, without limitation, provisions requiring the payment of default interest, late fees or prepayment/yield maintenance premiums) may be further limited or

 

B-1
 

 

rendered unenforceable by applicable law, but (subject to the limitations set forth above) such limitations or unenforceability will not render such Mortgage Loan Documents invalid as a whole or materially interfere with the mortgagee’s realization of the principal benefits and/or security provided thereby (clauses (i) and (ii) collectively, the “Insolvency 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 the Seller in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan, that would deny the mortgagee the principal benefits intended to be provided by the Note, Mortgage or other Mortgage Loan Documents.

 

4.     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 Insolvency Qualifications.

 

5.     Hospitality Provisions. The Mortgage Loan Documents for each Mortgage Loan that is secured by a hospitality property operated pursuant to a franchise agreement includes an executed comfort letter or similar agreement signed by the Mortgagor and franchisor of such property enforceable by the Trust against such franchisor, either directly or as an assignee of the originator. The Mortgage or related security agreement for each Mortgage Loan secured by a hospitality property creates a security interest in the revenues of such property for which a UCC financing statement has been filed in the appropriate filing office.

 

6.     Mortgage Status; Waivers and Modifications. Since origination and except by written instruments set forth in the related Mortgage File or as otherwise provided in the related Mortgage Loan Documents (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; (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 such Mortgaged Property; and (c) neither Mortgagor nor guarantor has been released from its obligations under the Mortgage Loan. 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 since January 16, 2016.

 

7.          Lien; Valid Assignment. Subject to the Insolvency Qualifications, each endorsement and assignment of Mortgage and assignment of Assignment of Leases (if a separate instrument from the Mortgage) from the Seller constitutes a legal, valid and binding endorsement or assignment from the 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 if identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, leasehold) interest in the Mortgaged Property in the principal amount of such

 

B-2
 

 

Mortgage Loan or allocated loan amount (subject only to Permitted Encumbrances (as defined below)), except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Insolvency Qualifications. Such Mortgaged Property (subject to Permitted Encumbrances) as of origination was, and as of the Cut-off Date to the Seller’s knowledge, is free and clear of any recorded mechanics’ liens, recorded materialmen’s liens and other recorded encumbrances, and to the Seller’s knowledge and subject to the rights of tenants, 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 insured against by a lender’s title insurance policy (as described below). Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid and enforceable lien on property described therein subject to Permitted Encumbrances, except as such enforcement may be limited by Insolvency Qualifications subject to the limitations described in clause (11) 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 extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of Uniform Commercial Code financing statements is required in order to effect such perfection.

 

The assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Depositor validly and effectively transfers and conveys all legal and beneficial ownership of the Mortgage Loans to the Depositor free and clear of any pledge, lien, encumbrance or security interest (subject to certain agreements regarding servicing as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subservicing agreements permitted thereunder and any Servicing Rights Purchase Agreement, dated as of the Closing Date, among the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Seller).

 

8.     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 specifically identified in the Title Policy; (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 which the Mortgage Loan Documents do not require to be subordinated to the lien of such Mortgage; and (f) if the related Mortgage Loan constitutes a cross-collateralized Mortgage Loan, the lien of the Mortgage for another Mortgage Loan contained in the same cross-collateralized group, provided that none of items (a) through (f), individually or in the aggregate, materially interferes with the value, current use or operation of the Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or with 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

 

B-3
 

 

due (collectively, the “Permitted Encumbrances”). 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 and no claims have been made by the Seller thereunder and no claims have been paid thereunder. Neither the Seller, nor to the 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. Each Title Policy contains no exclusion for, or affirmatively insures (except for any Mortgaged Property located in a jurisdiction where such affirmative insurance is not available in which case such exclusion may exist), (a) that the Mortgaged Property shown on the survey is the same as the property legally described in the Mortgage, and (b) to the extent that the Mortgaged Property consists of two or more adjoining parcels, such parcels are contiguous.

 

9.     Junior Liens. It being understood that B notes secured by the same Mortgage as a Mortgage Loan are not subordinate mortgages or junior liens, there are no subordinate mortgages or junior liens encumbering the related Mortgaged Property. The Seller has no knowledge of any mezzanine debt related to the Mortgaged Property and secured directly by the ownership interests in the Mortgagor.

 

10.   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). 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, 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 Insolvency Qualifications; no person other than the related Mortgagor owns any interest in any payments due under such lease or leases that is superior to or of equal priority with the lender’s interest therein. The related Mortgage or related Assignment of Leases, subject to applicable law, provides for, upon an event of default under the Mortgage Loan, a receiver 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.

 

11.   Financing Statements. Each Mortgage Loan or related security agreement establishes a valid security interest in, and a UCC-1 financing statement has been filed (except, in the case of fixtures, the Mortgage constitutes a fixture filing) in all places necessary to perfect a valid security interest in, the personal property (the creation and perfection of which is governed by the UCC) owned by the Mortgagor and necessary to operate any Mortgaged Property in its current use other than (1) non-material personal property, (2) personal property subject to purchase money security interests and (3) personal property that is leased equipment. Each UCC-1 financing statement, if any, filed with respect to personal property constituting a part of the related Mortgaged Property and each UCC-3 assignment, if any, filed with respect to such financing statement was in suitable form for filing in the filing office in which such financing statement was filed.

 

B-4
 

 

12.   Condition of Property. The Seller or the originator of the Mortgage Loan inspected or caused to be inspected each related Mortgaged Property within four 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, which indicates that, except as set forth in such engineering report or with respect to which repairs were required to be reserved for or made, all building systems for the improvements of each related Mortgaged Property are in good working order, and further indicates that each related Mortgaged Property (a) is free of any material damage, (b) is in good repair and condition, and (c) is free of structural defects, except to the extent (i) any damage or deficiencies that would not materially and adversely affect the use, operation or value of the Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or repairs with respect to such damage or deficiencies estimated to cost less than $50,000 in the aggregate per Mortgaged Property; (ii) such repairs have been completed; or (iii) escrows in an aggregate amount consistent with the standards utilized by the Seller with respect to similar loans it originates for securitization have been established, which escrows will in all events be in an aggregate amount not less than the estimated cost of such repairs. The Seller has no knowledge of any material issues with the physical condition of the Mortgaged Property that the Seller believes would have a material adverse effect on the use, operation or value of the Mortgaged Property other than those disclosed in the engineering report and those addressed in sub-clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of the preceding sentence.

 

13.   Taxes and Assessments. As of the date of origination and as of the Closing Date, all taxes and governmental assessments and other outstanding governmental charges (including, without limitation, water and sewage charges) due with respect to the Mortgaged Property (excluding any related personal property) securing a Mortgage Loan that is or if left unpaid could become a lien on the related Mortgaged Property that would be of equal or superior priority to the lien of the Mortgage and that became due and delinquent and owing prior to the Cut-off Date with respect to each related Mortgaged Property have been paid, or, if the appropriate amount of such taxes or charges is being appealed or is otherwise in dispute, the unpaid taxes or charges are covered by an escrow of funds or other security sufficient to pay such tax or charge and reasonably estimated interest and penalties, if any, thereon. For purposes of this representation and warranty, real property taxes, governmental assessments and other outstanding governmental charges shall not be considered delinquent until the date on which interest and/or penalties would be payable thereon.

 

14.   Condemnation. As of the date of origination and to the Seller’s knowledge as of the Closing Date, there is no proceeding pending or threatened for the total or partial condemnation of such Mortgaged Property that would have a material adverse effect on the use or operation of the Mortgaged Property.

 

15.   Actions Concerning Mortgage Loan. As of the date of origination and to the Seller’s knowledge as of the Closing Date, there was no pending, filed or threatened action, suit or proceeding, arbitration or governmental investigation involving any Mortgagor, guarantor, or Mortgaged Property, an adverse outcome of which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect (a) title to the Mortgaged Property, (b) the validity or enforceability of the

 

B-5
 

 

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 use, operation or value of the Mortgaged Property, (f) the principal benefit of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage Loan Documents, (g) the current ability of the Mortgaged Property to generate net cash flow sufficient to service such Mortgage Loan, or (h) the current principal use of the Mortgaged Property.

 

16.   Escrow Deposits. All escrow deposits and payments required pursuant to each Mortgage Loan (including capital improvements and environmental remediation reserves) are in the possession, or under the control, of the Seller or its servicer, and there are no deficiencies (subject to any applicable grace or cure periods) in connection therewith, and all such escrows and deposits (or the right thereto) that are required under the related Mortgage Loan Documents are being conveyed by the Seller to the Depositor or its servicer and identified as such with appropriate detail. Any and all requirements under the Mortgage Loan as to completion of any material improvements and as to disbursements of any funds escrowed for such purpose, which requirements were to have been complied with on or before Closing Date, have been complied with in all material respects or the funds so escrowed have not been released unless such release was consistent with proper and prudent commercial mortgage servicing practices or such released funds were otherwise used for their intended purpose. No other escrow amounts have been released except in accordance with the terms and conditions of the related Mortgage Loan Documents.

 

17.   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), and any requirements or conditions to disbursements of any loan proceeds held in escrow have been satisfied with respect to any disbursement of any such escrow fund prior to the Cut-off Date.

 

18.   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” (for a Mortgage Loan with a principal balance below $35 million) and “A:VIII” (for a Mortgage Loan with a principal balance of $35 million or more) from A.M. Best Company or “A3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or “A-” from Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (collectively 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.

 

B-6
 

 

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 (i) covers a period of not less than 12 months (or with respect to each Mortgage Loan with a principal balance of $35 million or more, 18 months); (ii) for a Mortgage Loan with a principal balance of $50 million or more contains a 180-day “extended period of indemnity”; and (iii) covers the actual loss sustained during restoration.

 

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 the maximum amount available under the National Flood Insurance Program, plus such additional excess flood coverage in an amount as is generally required by the Seller originating mortgage loans for securitization.

 

If windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or “named storms” are excluded from the primary property damage insurance policy the Mortgaged Property is insured by a separate windstorm insurance policy issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements or endorsement covering damage from windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or named storms, in an amount at least equal to 100% of the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of the Improvements and personalty and fixtures owned by the Mortgagor and included in the related Mortgaged Property by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements.

 

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 broad-form coverage for property damage, contractual damage and personal injury (including bodily injury and death) in amounts as are generally required by the Seller for loans originated 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 (“PML”) for the Mortgaged Property in the event of an earthquake. In such instance, the PML or equivalent 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 or equivalent 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 Investors Service, Inc. or “A-” by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services in an amount not less than 100% of the PML or the equivalent.

 

The Mortgage Loan Documents require 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, 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 together with any accrued interest thereon.

 

B-7
 

 

All premiums on all insurance policies referred to in this section required 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 general liability insurance policy, as named or additional insured. Such insurance policies will inure to the benefit of the Trustee (or the Non-Serviced Trustee for Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans). 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 the Seller.

 

19.   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 appropriate 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 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.

 

20.   No Encroachments. To the Seller’s knowledge and 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, (a) 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 are insured by applicable provisions of the Title Policy, (b) 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 are insured by applicable provisions of the Title Policy and (c) 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 are insured by applicable provisions of the Title Policy.

 

21.   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 the Seller.

 

B-8
 

 

22.          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 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 buildings and structural components thereof, 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 (1) the amount of any lien on the real property interest that is senior to the Mortgage Loan and (2) 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 Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(1)(ii)). If the Mortgage Loan or related Whole 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 related Whole 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 or related Whole 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 or related Whole Loan constitute “customary prepayment penalties” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(2). All terms used in this paragraph shall have the same meanings as set forth in the related Treasury Regulations.

 

23.   Compliance. The terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents evidencing such Mortgage Loan, comply in all material respects with all applicable local, state and federal laws and regulations, and the Seller has complied with all material requirements pertaining to the origination of the Mortgage Loans, including but not limited to, usury and any and all other material requirements of any federal, state or local law to the extent non-compliance would have a material adverse effect on the Mortgage Loan.

 

24.   Authorized to do Business. To the extent required under applicable law, as of the Closing Date or as of the date that such entity held the Note, each holder of the 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.

 

25.   Trustee under Deed of Trust. With respect to each Mortgage which is a deed of trust, 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 related

 

B-9
 

 

security for such Mortgage Loan, no fees are payable to such trustee except for reasonable fees paid by the Mortgagor.

 

26.   Local Law Compliance. To the Seller’s knowledge, based solely 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 the 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 are in material compliance with applicable laws, zoning ordinances, rules, covenants, and restrictions (collectively “Zoning Regulations”) governing the occupancy, use, and operation of such Mortgaged Property or constitute a legal non-conforming use or structure and any non-conformity with zoning laws constitutes a legal non-conforming use or structure which does not materially and adversely affect the use or operation of such Mortgaged Property. In the event of casualty or destruction, (a) the Mortgaged Property may be restored or repaired to the extent necessary to maintain the use of the structure immediately prior to such casualty or destruction, (b) law and ordinance insurance coverage has been obtained for the Mortgaged Property in amounts customarily required by the Seller for loans originated for securitization that provides coverage for additional costs to rebuild and/or repair the property to current Zoning Regulations, (c) the inability to restore the Mortgaged Property to the full extent of the use or structure immediately prior to the casualty would not materially and adversely affect the use or operation of such Mortgaged Property, or (d) title insurance coverage has been obtained for such nonconformity.

 

27.   Licenses and Permits. Each Mortgagor covenants in the Mortgage Loan Documents that it shall keep all material licenses, permits, franchises, certificates of occupancy, consents, and other approvals necessary for the operation of the Mortgaged Property in full force and effect, and to the Seller s knowledge based upon any of a letter from any government authorities or other affirmative investigation of local law compliance consistent with the investigation conducted by the Seller for similar commercial and multifamily mortgage loans intended for securitization; all such material licenses, permits, franchises, certificates of occupancy, consents, and other approvals are in effect or the failure to obtain or maintain such material licenses, permits, franchises or certificates of occupancy does not materially and adversely affect the use and/or operation of the Mortgaged Property as it was used and operated as of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan or the rights of a holder of the related Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Loan requires the related Mortgagor to be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged Property is located and for the Mortgagor and the Mortgaged Property to be in compliance in all material respects with all regulations, zoning and building laws.

 

28.   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, as of the date of origination of the related Mortgage Loan, has assets other than equity in the related Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis) in any of the following events: (i) if any petition for bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or liquidation pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law, shall be filed by, consented to, or acquiesced in by, the Mortgagor; (ii) Mortgagor or guarantor shall have colluded with other creditors to

 

B-10
 

 

cause an involuntary bankruptcy filing with respect to the Mortgagor or (iii) transfers of either the Mortgaged Property or equity interests in 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, as of the date of origination of the related Mortgage Loan, has assets other than equity in the related Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis), for losses and damages sustained in the case of (i) (A) misapplication, misappropriation or conversion of insurance proceeds or condemnation awards or of rents following an event of default, or (B) any security deposits not 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); (ii) the Mortgagor’s fraud or intentional misrepresentation; (iii) willful misconduct by the Mortgagor or guarantor; (iv) breaches of the environmental covenants in the Mortgage Loan Documents; or (v) commission of material physical waste at the Mortgaged Property, which may, with respect to this clause (v), in certain instances, be limited to acts or omissions of the related Mortgagor, guarantor, property manager or their affiliates, employees or agents.

 

29.          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 of not less than a specified percentage at least equal to 115% of the related allocated loan amount of such portion of the Mortgaged Property, (b) upon payment in full of such Mortgage Loan, (c) upon a Defeasance (defined in paragraph (34) 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 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 Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b)(2) 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), for any Mortgage Loan originated after December 6, 2010, if the fair market value of the real property constituting such Mortgaged Property after the release (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 the real property that is in parity with the Mortgage Loan) is not equal to at least 80% of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan or related Whole Loan 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 of the Code.

 

In the case of any Mortgage Loan originated after December 6, 2010, 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 related Whole Loan in an amount not less

 

B-11
 

 

than the amount required by the REMIC Provisions of the Code and, to such extent, such amount 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 the 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 related Whole Loan.

 

In the case of any Mortgage Loan originated after December 6, 2010, no such Mortgage Loan that is secured by more than one Mortgaged Property or that is cross-collateralized with another 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 the loan-to-value ratio and other requirements of the REMIC Provisions of the Code.

 

30.   Financial Reporting and Rent Rolls. Each Mortgage requires the Mortgagor to provide the owner or holder of the Mortgage 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 an annual combined balance sheet of the Mortgagor entities (and no other entities), together with the related combined statements of operations, members’ capital and cash flows, including a combining balance sheet and statement of income for the Mortgaged Properties on a combined basis and (ii) for 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.

 

31.   Acts of Terrorism Exclusion. With respect to each Mortgage Loan over $20 million, the related special-form all-risk insurance policy and business interruption policy (issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements) do not specifically 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 (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 other Mortgage Loan, the related special all-risk insurance policy and business interruption policy (issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements) did not, as of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, and, to the Seller’s knowledge, do not, as of the Cut-off Date, specifically exclude Acts of Terrorism, as defined in TRIA, from coverage, or if such coverage is excluded, it is covered by a separate terrorism insurance policy.

Documents (which provide for transfers without the consent of the lender which are customarily acceptable to the Seller lending on the security of property comparable to the related Mortgaged Property, such as 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 controlling equity interest 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 a controlling interest in a 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, (v) transfers of common stock in publicly traded companies, (vi) a substitution or release of collateral within the parameters of paragraphs 29 and 34 in this Exhibit B, or (vii) by reason of any mezzanine debt that existed at the origination of the related Mortgage Loan, or future permitted mezzanine debt or (b) the related Mortgaged Property is encumbered with a subordinate lien or security interest against the related Mortgaged Property, other than (i) any Companion Loan of any Mortgage 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 Mortgage Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with another Mortgage Loan or (iv) Permitted Encumbrances.

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 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 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 Mortgage Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with the related Mortgage Loan), and that it holds itself out as a legal entity, separate and apart from any other person or entity.

 

B-13
 

 

34.   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 Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii), 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 (A) the maturity date, (B) on or after the first date on which payment may be made without payment of a yield maintenance charge or prepayment penalty or (C) if the Mortgage Loan is an ARD Loan, the entire principal balance outstanding on the related Anticipated Repayment Date, 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 115% of the allocated loan amount for the real property to be released; (iv) the defeasance collateral is not permitted to be subject to prepayment, call, or early redemption; (v) the Mortgagor is required to provide a certification from an independent certified public accountant that the collateral is sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the Note as set forth 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 Trustee 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 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.

 

35.   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 an ARD Loan and situations where default interest is imposed.

 

36.   Ground Leases. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Ground Lease” shall mean 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 and buildings and other improvements, if any, 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.

 

With respect to any Mortgage Loan where the Mortgage Loan is secured by a ground leasehold estate 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 the Seller, its successors and assigns:

 

(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

 

B-14
 

 

and does not restrict the use of the related Mortgaged Property by such lessee, its successors or assigns in a manner that would adversely affect the security provided by the related Mortgage. To the Seller’s knowledge, 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) that the Ground Lease may not be amended, modified, canceled or terminated without the prior written consent of the lender and that any such action without such consent is not binding on the lender, its successors or assigns;

 

(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 borrower 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);

 

(D)          The Ground Lease is not subject to any interests, estates, liens or encumbrances superior to, or of equal priority with, the Mortgage, except for the related fee interest of the ground lessor and the Permitted Encumbrances;

 

(E)           The Ground Lease does not place commercially unreasonable restrictions on the identity of the Mortgagee and the Ground Lease is assignable to the holder of the Mortgage Loan and its successors and assigns without the consent of the lessor thereunder, and in the event it is so assigned, it is further assignable by the holder of the Mortgage Loan and its successors and assigns without the consent of the lessor;

 

(F)          The Seller has not received any written notice of default under or notice of termination of such Ground Lease. To the Seller’s knowledge, there is no default under such Ground Lease and no condition that, but for the passage of time or giving of notice, would result in a default under the terms of such Ground Lease and to the Seller’s knowledge, such Ground Lease is in full force and effect as of the Closing Date;

 

(G)          The Ground Lease or ancillary agreement between the lessor and the lessee requires the lessor to give to the lender written notice of any default, provides that no notice of default or termination is effective unless such notice is given to the lender, and requires that the ground lessor will supply an estoppel;

 

(H)          A lender is permitted a reasonable opportunity (including, where necessary, sufficient time to gain possession of the interest of the lessee under the Ground Lease through legal proceedings) to cure any default under the Ground Lease which is curable after the lender’s receipt of notice of any default before the lessor may terminate the Ground Lease;

 

(I)           The Ground Lease does not impose any restrictions on subletting that would be viewed as commercially unreasonable by the Seller in connection with loans originated for securitization;

 

B-15
 

 

(J)           Under the terms of the Ground Lease, an estoppel or other agreement received from the ground lessor and the related Mortgage (taken together), any related insurance proceeds or the portion of the condemnation award allocable to the ground lessee’s interest (other than in respect of a total or substantially total loss or taking as addressed in subpart (K)) will be applied either to the repair or to restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property with (so long as such proceeds are in excess of the threshold amount specified in the related Mortgage Loan Documents) the lender or a trustee appointed by it having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as repair or restoration progresses, or to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, together with any accrued interest;

 

(K)          In the case of a total or substantial taking or loss, under the terms of the Ground Lease, an estoppel or other agreement and the related Mortgage (taken together), any related insurance proceeds, or portion of the condemnation award allocable to ground lessee’s interest in respect of a total or substantially total loss or taking of the related Mortgaged Property to the extent not applied to restoration, will be applied first to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, together with any accrued interest; and

 

(L)          Provided that the lender cures any defaults which are susceptible to being cured, the ground lessor has agreed to enter into a new lease with lender upon termination of the Ground Lease for any reason, including rejection of the Ground Lease in a bankruptcy proceeding.

Each ARD Loan has an Anticipated Repayment Date not less than five years following the origination of such Mortgage Loan. If the related Mortgagor elects not to prepay its ARD Loan in full on or prior to the Anticipated Repayment Date pursuant to the existing terms of the Mortgage Loan or a unilateral option (as defined in Treasury Regulations under Section 1001 of the Code) in the Mortgage Loan exercisable during the term of the Mortgage Loan, (i) the Mortgage Loan’s interest rate will step up to an interest rate per annum as specified in the related Mortgage Loan Documents; provided, however, that payment of such Excess Interest shall be deferred until the principal of such ARD Loan has been paid in full; (ii) all or a substantial portion of the excess cash flow (which is net of certain costs associated with owning, managing and operating the related Mortgaged Property) collected after the Anticipated Repayment Date shall be applied towards the prepayment of such ARD Loan and once the principal balance of an ARD Loan has been reduced to zero all excess cash flow will be applied to the payment of accrued Excess Interest; and (iii) if the property manager for the related Mortgaged Property can be removed by or at the direction of the mortgagee on the basis of a debt service coverage test, the subject debt service coverage ratio shall be calculated without taking account of any increase in the related

 

B-16
 

 

Mortgage Rate on such Mortgage Loan’s Anticipated Repayment Date. No ARD Loan provides that the property manager for the related Mortgaged Property can be removed by or at the direction of the mortgagee solely because of the passage of the related Anticipated Repayment Date.

 

39.   Rent Rolls; Operating Histories. The Seller has obtained a rent roll (each, a “Certified Rent Roll”) other than with respect to hospitality properties certified by the related Mortgagor or the related guarantor(s) as accurate and complete in all material respects as of a date within 180 days of the date of origination of the related Mortgage Loan.

No person other than the holder of such Mortgage Loan may declare any event of default under the Mortgage Loan or accelerate any indebtedness under the Mortgage Loan Documents.

This Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”), dated as of February 1, 2016, is between Credit Suisse Commercial Mortgage Securities Corp., a Delaware corporation, as purchaser (in such capacity, the “Purchaser”), and Silverpeak Real Estate Finance LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as seller (the “Seller”).

Capitalized terms used in this Agreement not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of February 1, 2016 (the “Pooling and Servicing Agreement”), among the Purchaser, as depositor (the “Depositor”), KeyBank National Association, as master servicer (the “Master Servicer”), Rialto Capital Advisors, LLC, as special servicer (the “Special Servicer”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as certificate administrator (in such capacity the “Certificate Administrator”), Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (in such capacity the “Trustee”), Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Operating Advisor (in such capacity, the “Operating Advisor”), and Pentalpha Surveillance LLC, as Asset Representations Reviewer (in such capacity, the “Asset Representations Reviewer”) pursuant to which the Purchaser will transfer the Mortgage Loans (as defined herein), together with certain other mortgage loans, to a trust and certificates representing ownership interests in the Mortgage Loans, together with the other mortgage loans, will be issued by the trust (the “Trust”). In exchange for the Mortgage Loans and the other mortgage loans, the Trust will issue to or at the direction of the Depositor certificates to be known as CSAIL 2016-C5 Commercial Mortgage Trust, Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2016-C5 (collectively, the “Certificates”). For purposes of this Agreement, “Mortgage Loans” refers to the mortgage loans listed on Exhibit A and “Mortgaged Properties” refers to the properties securing such Mortgage Loans.

The Purchaser and the Seller wish to prescribe the manner of sale of the Mortgage Loans from the Seller to the Purchaser and in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements hereinafter set forth, agree as follows:

SECTION 1          Sale and Conveyance of Mortgages; Possession of Mortgage File.  The Seller does hereby sell, transfer, assign, set over and convey to the Purchaser, without recourse (except as otherwise specifically set forth herein) (subject to the rights of each holder of an interest in any related Companion Loan, as and to the extent applicable), all of its right, title and interest (subject to certain agreements regarding servicing as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, certain subservicing agreements permitted thereunder and any agreement to the appointment of the Master Servicer, dated prior to or as of the Closing Date, among the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Seller (any such agreement a “Servicing Rights Purchase Agreement”)) in and to the Mortgage Loans identified on Exhibit A to this Agreement (the “Mortgage Loan Schedule”) including all interest and principal received on or with respect to the Mortgage Loans after the Cut-off Date (and, in any event, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, excluding payments of principal and interest first due on the Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-off Date, and excluding any defeasance rights and obligations of the Seller with respect to the Mortgage Loans).  In addition, on the Closing Date, the Seller shall cause to be delivered to the Depositor a cash amount (the “Interest Deposit Amount”) with respect to each Mortgage Loan that accrues interest on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days during each one-month interest accrual period, to be deposited by the Depositor into the Interest Reserve Account on behalf of the Seller and for the benefit of the Trust Fund, which Interest

 
 

Deposit Amount for each such Mortgage Loan shall represent an amount equal to one day of interest at the related Net Mortgage Rate on the related Cut-Off Date Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan. Upon the sale of the Mortgage Loans, the ownership of each related Mortgage Note, the Seller’s interest in the related Mortgage represented by the Mortgage Note and the other contents of the related Mortgage File (subject to the rights of each holder of an interest in any related Companion Loan, as and to the extent applicable), will be vested in the Purchaser and immediately thereafter the Trustee, and the ownership of records and documents with respect to each Mortgage Loan prepared by or which come into the possession of the Seller shall (subject to the rights of each holder of an interest in any related Companion Loan, as and to the extent applicable) immediately vest in the Purchaser and immediately thereafter the Trustee. The Purchaser will sell certain of the Certificates (the “Public Certificates”) to the underwriters (the “Underwriters”) specified in the Underwriting Agreement, dated as of January 26, 2016 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), between the Purchaser and the Underwriters, and the Purchaser will sell certain of the Certificates (the “Private Certificates”) to the initial purchaser (the “Initial Purchaser” and, collectively with the Underwriters, the “Dealers”) specified in the Purchase Agreement, dated as of January 26, 2016 (the “Certificate Purchase Agreement”), between the Purchaser and Initial Purchaser.

The sale and conveyance of the Mortgage Loans is being conducted on an arms-length basis and upon commercially reasonable terms. As consideration for the Mortgage Loans, the Purchaser shall pay, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to the Seller or at the Seller’s direction $148,409,577.62, plus accrued interest on the Mortgage Loans (excluding transaction expenses) from and including February 1, 2016 to but excluding the Closing Date (but subject to certain post-settlement adjustments for expenses incurred by the Underwriters and the Initial Purchaser on behalf of the Depositor and for which the Seller is specifically responsible). The purchase and sale of the Mortgage Loans shall take place on the Closing Date.

SECTION 2          Books and Records; Certain Funds Received After the Cut-off Date.  From and after the sale of the Mortgage Loans to the Purchaser, record title to each Mortgage (other than with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan) and each Mortgage Note shall be transferred to the Trustee subject to and in accordance with this Agreement. Any funds due after the Cut-off Date in connection with a Mortgage Loan received by the Seller shall be held in trust on behalf of the Trustee (for the benefit of the Certificateholders) as the owner of such Mortgage Loan and shall be transferred promptly to the Certificate Administrator. All scheduled payments of principal and interest due on or before the Cut-off Date but collected after the Cut-off Date, and all recoveries and payments of principal and interest collected on or before the Cut-off Date (only in respect of principal and interest on the Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date and principal prepayments thereon), shall belong to, and shall be promptly remitted to, the Seller.

The transfer of each Mortgage Loan shall be reflected on the Seller’s balance sheets (and any consolidated balance sheet that includes the Seller) and other financial statements as the sale of such Mortgage Loan by the Seller to the Purchaser. The Seller intends to treat the transfer of each Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser as a sale for tax purposes. Following the transfer of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser, the Seller shall not take any actions inconsistent with the ownership of the Mortgage Loans by the Purchaser and its assignees.

The transfer of each Mortgage Loan shall be reflected on the Purchaser’s balance sheets and other financial statements as the purchase of such Mortgage Loan by the Purchaser from the Seller. The Purchaser intends to treat the transfer of each Mortgage Loan from the Seller as a purchase for tax purposes. The Purchaser shall be responsible for maintaining, and shall maintain, a set of records for each Mortgage Loan which shall be clearly marked to reflect the transfer of ownership of each Mortgage Loan by the Seller to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement.

SECTION 3          Delivery of Mortgage Loan Documents; Additional Costs and Expenses.   (a)  The Purchaser hereby directs the Seller, and the Seller hereby agrees, such agreement effective upon the transfer of the Mortgage Loans contemplated herein, to deliver or cause to be delivered to the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee), the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, respectively, on the dates set forth in Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, all documents, instruments and agreements required to be delivered by the Purchaser, or contemplated to be delivered by the Seller (whether at the direction of the Purchaser or otherwise), to the Custodian, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, with respect to the Mortgage Loans under Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and meeting all the requirements of such Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; provided that the Seller shall not be required to deliver any draft documents, privileged communications, credit underwriting, due diligence analyses or data or internal worksheets, memoranda, communications or evaluations.

(b)          The Seller shall deliver to and deposit with (or cause to be delivered to and deposited with) the Master Servicer, within five (5) Business Days after the Closing Date, a copy of the Mortgage File and documents and records not otherwise required to be contained in the Mortgage File that (i) relate to the origination and/or servicing and administration of the Mortgage Loans and each related Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable, (ii) are reasonably necessary for the ongoing administration and/or servicing of the Mortgage Loans and each related Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable (including any asset summaries related to the Mortgage Loans that were delivered to the Rating Agencies in connection with the rating of the Certificates), or for evidencing or enforcing any of the rights of the holder of the Mortgage Loans and each related Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable, or holders of interests therein and (iii) are in the possession or under the control of the Seller, together with (x) all unapplied Escrow Payments and reserve funds in the possession or under control of the Seller that relate to the Mortgage Loans (other than any Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan as of the Closing Date) and any related Serviced Companion Loan, as applicable, and (y) a statement indicating which Escrow Payments and reserve funds are allocable to each Mortgage Loan, (or any related Serviced Companion Loan, as the case may be); provided that copies of any document in the Mortgage File and any other document, record or item referred to above in this sentence that constitutes a Designated Servicing Document shall be delivered to the Master Servicer on or before the Closing Date; provided, further, that the Seller shall not be required to deliver any draft documents, privileged or other communications, credit underwriting, due diligence analyses or data or internal worksheets, memoranda, communications or evaluations.

(c)          With respect to any Mortgage Loan secured by a Mortgaged Property that is subject to a franchise agreement with a related comfort letter in favor of the Seller that requires notice to or request of the related franchisor to transfer or assign any related comfort letter to the

-3-
 

Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders or have a new comfort letter (or any such new document or acknowledgement as may be contemplated under the existing comfort letter) issued in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, the Seller or its designee shall, within 45 days of the Closing Date (or any shorter period if required by the applicable comfort letter), provide any such required notice or make any such required request to the related franchisor for the transfer or assignment of such comfort letter or issuance of a new comfort letter (or any such new document or acknowledgement as may be contemplated under the existing comfort letter), with a copy of such notice or request to the Custodian (who shall include such document in the related Mortgage File), the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall require the Master Servicer to use reasonable efforts in accordance with the Servicing Standard to acquire such replacement comfort letter, if necessary (or to acquire any such new document or acknowledgement as may be contemplated under the existing comfort letter).

SECTION 4          Treatment as a Security Agreement. Pursuant to Section 1 hereof, the Seller has (subject to the limitations set forth therein) conveyed to the Purchaser all of its right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans. The parties intend that such conveyance of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute a purchase and sale and not a loan. If such conveyance is deemed to be a pledge and not a sale, then the parties also intend and agree that the Seller shall be deemed to have granted, and in such event does hereby grant, to the Purchaser, a first priority security interest in all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Mortgage Loans, all payments of principal or interest on such Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-off Date, all other payments made in respect of such Mortgage Loans after the Cut-off Date (and, in any event, excluding scheduled payments of principal and interest due on or before the Cut-off Date) and all proceeds thereof, and that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law. If such conveyance is deemed to be a pledge and not a sale, the Seller consents to the Purchaser hypothecating and transferring such security interest in favor of the Trustee and transferring the obligation secured thereby to the Trustee.

SECTION 5          Covenants of the Seller. The Seller covenants with the Purchaser as follows:

(a)          except with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, it shall record or cause a third party to record and file in the appropriate public recording office for real property records or UCC financing statements, as appropriate (or, with respect to any assignments that the Custodian has agreed to record or file pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, deliver to the Custodian for such purpose and cause the Custodian to record and file), the assignments of assignment of leases, rents and profits and the assignments of Mortgage and each related UCC financing statement referred to in the definition of Mortgage File from the Seller to the Trustee as and to the extent contemplated under Section 2.01(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All out of pocket costs and expenses relating to the recordation or filing of such assignments, assignments of Mortgage and financing statements shall be paid by the Seller. If any such document or instrument is lost or returned unrecorded or unfiled, as the case may be, because of a defect therein, then the Seller shall prepare or cause the preparation of a substitute therefor or cure such defect or cause such defect to be cured, as the case may be, and the Seller shall record or file, or cause the recording or filing of, such substitute

-4-
 

or corrected document or instrument or, with respect to any assignments that the Custodian has agreed to record or file pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, deliver such substitute or corrected document or instrument to the Custodian (or, if the Mortgage Loan is then no longer subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the then holder of such Mortgage Loan);

(b)          as to each Mortgage Loan, except with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, if the Seller cannot deliver or cause to be delivered the documents and/or instruments referred to in clauses (ii), (iv), (vii) (if recorded), (ix) and (x) of the definition of “Mortgage File” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement solely because of a delay caused by the public recording or filing office where such document or instrument has been delivered for recordation or filing, as applicable, it shall forward to the Custodian a copy of the original certified by the Seller to be a true and complete copy of the original thereof submitted for recording. The Seller shall cause each assignment referred to in Section (5)(a) above that is recorded and the file copy of each UCC financing statement assignment referred to in Section (5)(a) above to reflect that it should be returned by the public recording or filing office to the Custodian or its agent following recording (or, alternatively, to the Seller or its designee, in which case the Seller shall deliver or cause the delivery of the recorded original to the Custodian promptly following receipt); provided that, in those instances where the public recording office retains the original assignment of Mortgage or assignment of Assignment of Leases, the Custodian shall obtain therefrom a certified copy of the recorded original. On a monthly basis, at the expense of the Seller, the Custodian shall forward to the Master Servicer a copy of each of the aforementioned assignments following the Custodian’s receipt thereof;

(c)          it shall take any action reasonably required by the Purchaser, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Master Servicer in order to assist and facilitate the transfer of the servicing of the Mortgage Loans (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans) to the Master Servicer, including effectuating the transfer of any letters of credit with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans) to the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of Certificateholders (and, in the case of each Serviced Whole Loan, the holder of the related Serviced Companion Loan, as and to the extent applicable). Prior to the date that a letter of credit with respect to any Mortgage Loan is transferred to the Master Servicer, the Seller will cooperate with the reasonable requests of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, in connection with effectuating a draw under such letter of credit as required under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents;

(d)          the Seller shall provide the Master Servicer the initial data with respect to each Mortgage Loan for the CREFC® Financial File and the CREFC® Loan Periodic Update File that are required to be prepared by the Master Servicer pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement;

(e)          if (during the period of time that the Underwriters are required, under applicable law, to deliver a prospectus related to the Public Certificates in connection with sales of the Public Certificates by an Underwriter or a dealer) the Seller has obtained actual knowledge of undisclosed or corrected information related to an event that occurred prior to the Closing Date, which event causes there to be an untrue statement of a material fact with respect to the Mortgage Loans (including any related Whole Loan, including, without limitation, the servicing terms thereof if not serviced under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, including the

-5-
 

identification of the parties to the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the related borrowers, the related Mortgaged Property and the Seller and its affiliates (collectively, the “Seller Matters”) contained in the Offering Documents, or causes there to be an omission to state therein a material fact with respect to the Seller Matters required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein with respect to the Seller Matters, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, then the Seller shall promptly notify the Dealers and the Depositor. If as a result of any such event the Dealers’ legal counsel determines that it is necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus, dated January 28, 2016 relating to the Public Certificates, the annexes and exhibits thereto, or the Offering Circular dated January 26, 2016 relating to the Private Certificates, the annexes and exhibits thereto (collectively, the “Offering Documents”) in order to correct the untrue statement, or to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances when the Offering Documents are delivered to a purchaser, not misleading, or to make the Offering Documents in compliance with applicable law, the Seller shall (to the extent that such amendment or supplement solely relates to the Seller Matters) at the expense of the Seller, do all things reasonably necessary to assist the Depositor to prepare and furnish to the Dealers, such amendments or supplements to the Offering Documents as may be necessary so that the Offering Documents, as so amended or supplemented, will not contain an untrue statement with respect to the Seller Matters, will not, in the light of the circumstances when the Offering Documents are delivered to a purchaser, be misleading with respect to the Seller Matters and will comply with applicable law. (All terms under this clause (e) and not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in the Indemnification Agreement, dated as of January 26, 2016, among the Underwriters, the Initial Purchaser, the Seller and the Purchaser (the “Indemnification Agreement” and, together with this Agreement, the “Operative Documents”));

(g)          for so long as the Trust (or any Other Securitization that holds a related Companion Loan) is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Seller shall provide the Purchaser and the Certificate Administrator with any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure and any Form 8-K Disclosure Information indicated on Exhibit BB, Exhibit CC and Exhibit DD to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, to the extent contemplated to be provided by the Seller in its capacity as a “Sponsor”, within the time periods set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; provided that, in connection with providing Additional Form 10-K Disclosure and the Seller’s reporting obligations under Item 1119 of Regulation AB, upon reasonable request by the Seller, the Purchaser shall provide the Seller with a list of all parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and any other Servicing Function Participant;

(viii)       The Seller has no actual knowledge that any statement, report, officer’s certificate or other document prepared and furnished or to be furnished by such Seller in

-9-
 

connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, any financial cash flow models and underwriting file abstracts furnished by such Seller) (collectively, the “Provided Information”) contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or, to the extent that it has become aware of any material misstatement or omission in any Provided Information, the Seller has notified the Purchaser in writing of such material misstatement or omission at least one Business Day prior to the Time of Sale (as defined in the Indemnification Agreement) and updated such Provided Information or the material misstatement or omission has been corrected in the Time of Sale Information (as defined in the Indemnification Agreement); and

(ix)         The Seller has caused each Servicing Function Participant that the Seller has caused the Master Servicer, if any, to retain and that services a Mortgage Loan as of the Closing Date to comply, as evidenced by written documentation between each such Servicing Function Participant and the Seller, Purchaser or Master Servicer, with all reporting requirements set forth in Sections 11.04, 11.05, 11.06, 11.07, 11.08, 11.09, 11.10, 11.11, 11.12 and 11.13 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement applicable to such Servicing Function Participant for the Mortgage Loans, for so long as the Trust is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act.

(x)          Except for the agreed-upon procedures report obtained from the accounting firm engaged to perform procedures involving a comparison of information in loan files for the Mortgage Loans to information on a data tape relating to the Mortgage Loans (such report, the “Accountants’ Due Diligence Report”), the Seller has not obtained (and, through and including the Closing Date, will not obtain without the consent of the Purchaser) any “third party due diligence report” (as defined in Rule 15Ga-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)(“Rule 15Ga-2”)) in connection with the securitization transaction contemplated herein and in the Offering Documents and, except for the accountants with respect to the Accountants’ Due Diligence Report, the Seller has not employed (and, through and including the Closing Date, will not employ without the consent of the Purchaser) any third party to engage in any activity that constitutes “due diligence services” within the meaning of Rule 17g-10 under the Exchange Act in connection with the transactions contemplated herein and in the Offering Documents. The Seller further represents and warrants that no portion of the Accountants’ Due Diligence Report contains, with respect to the information contained therein with respect to the Mortgage Loans, any names, addresses, other personal identifiers or zip codes with respect to any individuals, or any other personally identifiable or other information that would be associated with an individual, including without limitation any “nonpublic personal information” within the meaning of Title V of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999. The Underwriters and Initial Purchaser are third-party beneficiaries of the provisions set forth in this SECTION 6(a)(x).

(b)          The Purchaser represents and warrants to the Seller as of the Closing Date that:

-10-
 

(i)           The Purchaser is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with full corporate power and authority to own its assets and conduct its business, is duly qualified as a foreign corporation in good standing in all jurisdictions in which the ownership or lease of its property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified would not have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Purchaser to perform its obligations hereunder, and the Purchaser has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by it, and has duly executed and delivered this Agreement, and has the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and all the transactions contemplated hereby;

(ii)          Assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Seller, this Agreement will constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law);

(iii)         The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Purchaser and the performance of its obligations hereunder will not conflict with any provision of any law or regulation to which the Purchaser is subject, or conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any of the Purchaser’s organizational documents or any agreement or instrument to which the Purchaser is a party or by which it is bound, or any order or decree applicable to the Purchaser, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien on any of the Purchaser’s assets or property, in each case which would materially and adversely affect the ability of the Purchaser to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(iv)         There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the Purchaser’s knowledge, threatened against the Purchaser in any court or by or before any other governmental agency or instrumentality which would materially and adversely affect the validity of this Agreement or any action taken in connection with the obligations of the Purchaser contemplated herein, or which would be likely to impair materially the ability of the Purchaser to perform under the terms of this Agreement;

(v)          The Purchaser is not in default with respect to any order or decree of any court or any order, regulation or demand of any federal, state, municipal or governmental agency, which default might have consequences that would materially and adversely affect the condition (financial or other) or operations of the Purchaser or its properties or might have consequences that would materially and adversely affect its performance under any Operative Document;

(vi)         No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and performance by the Purchaser of or compliance by the Purchaser with this Agreement or the consummation of the

-11-
 

transactions contemplated by this Agreement other than those that have been obtained by the Purchaser and other than those, which if not obtained, will not have a material adverse effect on the validity or enforceability against the Purchaser of this Agreement or on the ability of the Purchaser to perform its obligations under this Agreement; and

(vii)        The Purchaser (A) prepared one or more reports on Form ABS-15G (each, a “Form 15G”) containing the findings and conclusions of the Accountants’ Due Diligence Report and meeting the requirements of Form 15G, Rule 15Ga-2 and any other rules and regulations of the Commission and the Exchange Act; (B) provided a copy of the final draft of each such Form 15G to the Underwriters and Initial Purchaser at least six (6) Business Days before the first sale in the offering contemplated by the Offering Documents; and (C) furnished each such Form 15G to the Commission on EDGAR at least five (5) Business Days before the first sale in the offering contemplated by the Offering Documents as required by Rule 15Ga-2.

(c)          The Seller further makes the representations and warranties as to the Mortgage Loans set forth in Exhibit B to this Agreement as of the Cut-off Date or such other date set forth in Exhibit B to this Agreement, which representations and warranties are subject to the exceptions thereto set forth in Exhibit C to this Agreement.

(d)          Pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, if (i) any party thereto discovers or receives notice alleging a Material Defect or (ii) the Special Servicer or the Purchaser receives a Repurchase Request, such party is required to give prompt written notice thereof to the Seller, the Directing Certificateholder (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event), the parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, any related Companion Loan Holder (if applicable) and the 17g-5 Information Provider.

(e)          Pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, if any Certificateholder, the Directing Certificateholder, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor (solely in its capacity as Operating Advisor) or the Trustee discovers or receives notice alleging a Material Defect, then such Certificateholder, Directing Certificateholder, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor (solely in its capacity as Operating Advisor) or the Trustee will be required to give prompt written notice thereof to the Seller, the parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Directing Certificateholder (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event). Promptly upon becoming aware of any such Material Defect (including through a written notice given by the Certificateholder, the Directing Certificateholder, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor (solely in its capacity as Operating Advisor) or the Trustee, as provided above), the Seller shall, not later than 90 days after (i) except in the case of the succeeding clause (ii), the applicable Seller’s discovery of the Material Defect or receipt of such notice or (ii) in the case of a Material Defect relating to a Mortgage Loan not being a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, 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, the earlier of (x) the discovery by the Seller or any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of such Material Defect or (y) receipt of notice of a discovery of such Material Defect from any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Seller, cure the same in all material respects (which cure shall include payment of any losses and additional trust fund expenses associated therewith) or, if such Material Defect cannot be cured within such 90

-12-
 

day period, the Seller shall either (i) substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for such affected Mortgage Loan (provided that in no event shall any such substitution occur later than the second anniversary of the Closing Date) and pay the Master Servicer, for deposit into the Collection Account, any Substitution Shortfall Amount in connection therewith or (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or any related REO Property (or the Trust’s interest therein) at the applicable Purchase Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Collection Account; provided, however, that if (i) such Material Defect is capable of being cured but not within such 90 day period, (ii) such Material Defect is not related to any Mortgage Loan’s not being a Qualified Mortgage and (iii) the Seller has commenced and is diligently proceeding with the cure of such Material Defect within such 90 day period, then the Seller shall have an additional 90 days to complete such cure (or, in the event of a failure to so cure, to complete such repurchase of the related Mortgage Loan or substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan as described above) it being understood and agreed that, in connection with the Seller’s receiving such additional 90 day period, the Seller shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator setting forth the reasons such Material Defect is not capable of being cured within the initial 90 day period and what actions the Seller is pursuing in connection with the cure thereof and stating that the Seller anticipates that such Material Defect will be cured within such additional 90 day period; and provided, further, that, if any such Material Defect is still not cured after the initial 90 day period and any such additional 90 day period solely due to the failure of the Seller to have received the recorded document, then the Seller shall be entitled to continue to defer its cure, substitution or repurchase obligations in respect of such Material Defect so long as the Seller certifies to the Trustee, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator every 30 days thereafter that the Material Defect is still in effect solely because of its failure to have received the recorded document and that the Seller is diligently pursuing the cure of such defect (specifying the actions being taken), except that no such deferral of cure, substitution or repurchase may continue beyond the date that is 18 months following the Closing Date. Any such repurchase or substitution of a Mortgage Loan shall be on a whole loan, servicing released basis. The Seller shall have no obligation to monitor the Mortgage Loans regarding the existence of a Breach or a Defect, but if the Seller discovers a Material Defect with respect to a Mortgage Loan, it shall notify the Purchaser.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6(e), in lieu of the Seller performing its repurchase or substitution obligations with respect to any Material Defect provided in this Section 6(e), to the extent that the Seller and the Purchaser (or, following the assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Trust, the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust, and, if no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder) are able to agree upon the Loss of Value Payment for a Breach or Defect, the Seller may elect, in its sole discretion, to pay such Loss of Value Payment to the Purchaser (or its assignee); provided that a Material Defect as a result of a Mortgage Loan not constituting a Qualified Mortgage Loan, may not be cured by a Loss of Value Payment. Upon its making such payment, the Seller shall be deemed to have cured such Material Defect in all respects. Provided such payment is made, this paragraph describes the sole remedy available to the Purchaser and its assignees regarding any such Material Defect, and the Seller shall not be obligated to repurchase or replace the related Mortgage Loan or otherwise cure such Material Defect.

-13-
 

If any Breach pertains to a representation or warranty to the effect that the related Mortgage Loan documents or any particular Mortgage Loan document requires the related Mortgagor to bear the costs and expenses associated with any particular action or matter under such Mortgage Loan document(s), then the Seller shall not be required to repurchase or replace such Mortgage Loan and the sole remedy with respect to any Breach of such representation shall be to cure such Breach within the applicable cure period (as the same may be extended) by reimbursing the Trust (by wire transfer of immediately available funds) for (i) the reasonable amount of any such costs and expenses incurred by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Trust that are the basis of such Breach and have not been reimbursed by the related Mortgagor and (ii) the amount of any fees and reimbursable expenses of the Asset Representations Reviewer attributable to the Asset Review of such Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that in the event any such costs and expenses exceed $10,000, the Seller shall have the option to either repurchase or substitute for the related Mortgage Loan as provided above or pay such costs and expenses.  If the Seller elects to pay such costs and expenses, the Seller shall remit the amount to the Special Servicer for disbursement to the applicable persons and upon its making such remittance, the Seller shall be deemed to have cured such Breach in all respects.  To the extent any fees or expenses that are the subject of a cure by the Seller are subsequently obtained from the related Mortgagor, the portion of the cure payment equal to such fees or expenses obtained from the Mortgagor shall be returned to the Seller pursuant to Section 2.03(b) or Section 2.03(g), as applicable, of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  No delay in either the discovery of a Material Defect on the part of any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in providing notice of such Material Defect will relieve the Seller of its obligation to repurchase or substitute the related Mortgage Loan unless (i) the Seller did not otherwise discover or have knowledge of such Material Defect and (ii) such delay is the result of the failure by a party to this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to provide prompt notice as required by the terms hereof or of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement after such party has actual knowledge of such Material Defect (for the avoidance of doubt, knowledge shall not be deemed to exist by reason of the Custodial Exception Report) and such delay precludes the Seller from curing such Material Defect.

If there is a Material Defect with respect to one or more Mortgaged Properties securing a Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall 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 Property(ies) satisfy the requirements, if any, set forth in the Mortgage Loan documents and the Seller provides an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such release does not (A) cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or (B) result in the imposition of a tax upon either Trust REMIC or the Trust and (iii) each applicable Rating Agency has provided a Rating Agency Confirmation.

Subject to the Seller’s right to cure set forth above in this Section 6(e), and further subject to Sections 2.01(b) and 2.01(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, any of the following will cause a document in the Mortgage File delivered by the Seller for any Mortgage Loan to be deemed to have a “Defect” that constitutes a Material Defect and to be conclusively presumed to materially and adversely affect the interests of Certificateholders in a Mortgage Loan (but solely with respect to clause (a)) and to be deemed to materially and adversely affect the interests of the Certificateholders in and the value of a Mortgage Loan: (a) the absence from

-14-
 

the Mortgage File of the original signed Mortgage Note, unless the Mortgage File contains a signed lost note affidavit and indemnity with a copy of the Mortgage Note that appears to be regular on its face; (b) the absence from the Mortgage File of the original signed Mortgage that appears to be regular on its face, unless there is included in the Mortgage File either a copy of the Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon or a copy of the Mortgage and a certificate from the related Seller stating that the original signed Mortgage was sent for recordation; (c) the absence from the Mortgage File of the lender’s title insurance policy issued on the date of the origination of such Mortgage Loan (or, if such policy has not been issued or located, an irrevocable, binding commitment (which may be a marked version of the policy that has been executed by an authorized representative of the title company or an agreement to provide the same pursuant to binding escrow instructions executed by an authorized representative of the title company)) called for by clause (viii) of the definition of “Mortgage File” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (d) the absence from the Mortgage File of any intervening assignments required to create a complete chain of assignments to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust, unless there is included in the Mortgage File either a copy of the assignment with evidence of recording thereon or a copy of the intervening assignment and a certificate from the Seller stating that the original intervening assignments were sent for filing or recordation, as applicable; (e) the absence from the Mortgage File of any required letter of credit (except as permitted under Section 2.01(b) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement); or (f) with respect to any related leasehold Mortgage Loan, the absence from the related Mortgage File of a copy (or an original, if available) of the related Ground Lease; provided, however, that no Defect (except Defects described in clauses (a) through (f) above) shall be considered to materially and adversely affect the value of the related Mortgage Loan, the value of the related Mortgage Property or the interests of the Trustee or Certificateholders unless the document with respect to which the Defect exists is required in connection with an imminent enforcement of the lender’s rights or remedies under the related Mortgage Loan, defending any claim asserted by any Mortgagor or third party with respect to the related Mortgage Loan, establishing the validity or priority of any lien on any collateral securing the related Mortgage Loan or for any immediate significant servicing obligation.

(f)          In connection with any repurchase or substitution of one or more Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Section 6, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall provide that the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each tender to the repurchasing entity, upon delivery to each of them of a receipt executed by the repurchasing or substituting entity evidencing such repurchase or substitution, all portions of the Mortgage File, the Servicing File and other documents and all Escrow Payments and reserve funds pertaining to such Mortgage Loan possessed by it, and each document that constitutes a part of the Mortgage File shall be endorsed or assigned to the extent necessary or appropriate to the repurchasing or substituting entity or its designee in the same manner, but only if the respective documents have been previously assigned or endorsed to the Trustee, and pursuant to appropriate forms of assignment, substantially similar to the manner and forms pursuant to which such documents were previously assigned to the Trustee or as otherwise reasonably requested to effect the retransfer and reconveyance of the Mortgage Loan and the security therefor to the Seller or its designee; provided that such tender by the Trustee and the Custodian shall be conditioned upon its receipt from the Master Servicer of a Request for Release and an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that the requirements for repurchase or substitution, as the case may be, have been satisfied.

-15-
 

(g)          The representations and warranties of the parties hereto shall survive the execution and delivery and any termination of this Agreement and shall inure to the benefit of the respective parties, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on the Mortgage Notes or Assignment of Mortgage or the examination of the Mortgage Files.

(h)          Each party hereto agrees to promptly notify the other party of any breach of a representation or warranty contained in SECTION 6(c) of this Agreement. The Seller’s obligation to cure any Material Defect, to repurchase or substitute any affected Mortgage Loan or pay the Loss of Value Payment or other required payment pursuant to this Section 6 shall constitute the sole remedy available to the Purchaser in connection with a breach of any of the Seller’s representations or warranties contained in or made pursuant to SECTION 6(c) of this Agreement or a Defect with respect to any Mortgage Loan.

(i)          The Seller shall promptly notify the Purchaser if (i) the Seller receives a Repurchase Communication of a Repurchase Request (other than from the Purchaser), (ii) the Seller repurchases or replaces a Mortgage Loan, (iii) the Seller receives a Repurchase Communication of a withdrawal of a Repurchase Request of which notice has been previously received or given and which withdrawal is by the Person making such Repurchase Request (a “Repurchase Request Withdrawal”) (other than from the Purchaser) or (iv) the Seller rejects or disputes any Repurchase Request. Each such notice shall be given no later than the tenth (10th) Business Day after (A) with respect to clauses (i) and (iii) of the preceding sentence, receipt of a Repurchase Communication of a Repurchase Request or a Repurchase Request Withdrawal, as applicable, and (B) with respect to clauses (ii) and (iv) of the preceding sentence, the occurrence of the event giving rise to the requirement for such notice, and shall include (1) the identity of the related Mortgage Loan, (2) the date (x) such Repurchase Communication of such Repurchase Request or Repurchase Request Withdrawal was received, (y) the related Mortgage Loan was repurchased or replaced or (z) the Repurchase Request was rejected or disputed, as applicable, and (3) if known, the basis for (x) the Repurchase Request (as asserted in the Repurchase Request) or (y) any rejection or dispute of a Repurchase Request, as applicable.

The Seller shall provide to the Purchaser and the Certificate Administrator the Seller’s “Central Index Key” number assigned by the Securities and Exchange Commission and a true, correct and complete copy of the relevant portions of any Form ABS-15G that the Seller is required to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the Mortgage Loans on or before the date that is five (5) Business Days before the date such Form ABS-15G is required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing obligation shall not prohibit the Seller from filing a Form ABS-15G on or prior to the date on which such copy is provided to the Purchaser and the Certificate Administrator.

In addition, the Seller shall provide the Purchaser, upon request, such other information in its possession as would permit the Purchaser to comply with its obligations under Rule 15Ga-1 under the Exchange Act to disclose fulfilled and unfulfilled repurchase requests. Any such information requested shall be provided as promptly as practicable after such request is made.

The Seller agrees that no Person that is required to provide a 15Ga-1 Notice (a “15Ga-1 Notice Provider”) will be required to provide information in a 15Ga-1 Notice that is

-16-
 

protected by the attorney-client privilege or attorney work product doctrines. In addition, the Seller hereby acknowledges that (i) any 15Ga-1 Notice provided pursuant to Section 2.02(g) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is so provided only to assist the Seller, the Depositor and their respective Affiliates to comply with Rule 15Ga-1 under the Exchange Act, Items 1104 and 1121 of Regulation AB and any other requirement of law or regulation and (ii)(A) no action taken by, or inaction of, a 15Ga-1 Notice Provider and (B) no information provided pursuant to Section 2.02(g) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by a 15Ga-1 Notice Provider in a 15Ga-1 Notice shall be deemed to constitute a waiver or defense to the exercise of any legal right the 15Ga-1 Notice Provider may have with respect to this Agreement, including with respect to any Repurchase Request that is the subject of a 15Ga-1 Notice.

Each party hereto agrees that the receipt of a 15Ga-1 Notice or the delivery of any notice required to be delivered pursuant to this SECTION 6(i) shall not, in and of itself, constitute delivery of notice of, receipt of notice of, or knowledge of the Seller of, any Material Defect.

Each party hereto agrees and acknowledges that, as of the date of this Agreement, the “Central Index Key” number of the Trust is 0001661136.

Repurchase Communication” means, for purposes of this Section 6(i) only, any communication, whether oral or written, which need not be in any specific form.

SECTION 7          Review of Mortgage File. The Purchaser shall require the Custodian pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to review the Mortgage Files pursuant to Section 2.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and if it finds any document or documents not to have been properly executed, or to be missing or to be defective on its face in any material respect, to notify the Purchaser, which shall promptly notify the Seller.

SECTION 8          Conditions to Closing. The obligation of the Seller to sell the Mortgage Loans shall be subject to the Seller having received the consideration for the Mortgage Loans as contemplated by Section 1 of this Agreement.

(b)          The Pooling and Servicing Agreement (to the extent it affects the obligations of the Seller hereunder), in such form as is agreed upon and acceptable to the

EXHIBIT B

MORTGAGE LOAN REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

1.     Complete Servicing File. All documents comprising the Servicing File will be or have been delivered to the Master Servicer with respect to each Mortgage Loan by the deadlines set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and/or this Agreement.

2.     Whole Loan; Ownership of Mortgage Loans. Except with respect to each Serviced Mortgage Loan and each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, each Mortgage Loan is a whole loan and not an interest in a mortgage loan. Each Mortgage Loan is a senior portion (or a pari passu portion of a senior portion) of a whole mortgage loan evidenced by a senior note. Immediately prior to the sale, transfer and assignment to the Depositor, no Note or Mortgage was subject to any assignment (other than assignments to the Seller), participation (other than with respect to Serviced Mortgage Loans and the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans) or pledge, and the Seller had good and marketable title to, and was the sole owner of, each Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all liens, charges, pledges, encumbrances, participations (other than with respect to any Co-Lender Agreement with respect to a Whole Loan) (subject to certain agreements regarding servicing and/or defeasance successor borrower rights as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subservicing agreements permitted thereunder and that certain Servicing Rights Purchase Agreement, dated as of the Closing Date between the Master Servicer and the Seller), any other ownership interests and other interests on, in or to such Mortgage Loan (subject to certain agreements regarding servicing and/or defeasance successor borrower rights as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subservicing agreements permitted thereunder and any Servicing Rights Purchase Agreement, dated as of the Closing Date, among the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Seller). The Seller has full right and authority to sell, assign and transfer each Mortgage Loan, and the assignment to the Depositor 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 (subject to certain agreements regarding servicing and/or defeasance successor borrower rights as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subservicing agreements permitted thereunder and any Servicing Rights Purchase Agreement, dated as of the Closing Date, among the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Seller).

3.     Loan Document Status. Each related 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 as such enforcement may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law and except that certain provisions in such Mortgage Loan Documents (including, without limitation, provisions requiring the payment of default interest, late fees or prepayment/yield maintenance premiums) may be further limited or

B-1
 

rendered unenforceable by applicable law, but (subject to the limitations set forth above) such limitations or unenforceability will not render such Mortgage Loan Documents invalid as a whole or materially interfere with the mortgagee’s realization of the principal benefits and/or security provided thereby (clauses (i) and (ii) collectively, the “Insolvency 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 the Seller in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan, that would deny the mortgagee the principal benefits intended to be provided by the Note, Mortgage or other Mortgage Loan Documents.

4.     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 Insolvency Qualifications.

5.     Hospitality Provisions. The Mortgage Loan Documents for each Mortgage Loan that is secured by a hospitality property operated pursuant to a franchise agreement includes an executed comfort letter or similar agreement signed by the Mortgagor and franchisor of such property enforceable by the Trust against such franchisor, either directly or as an assignee of the originator. The Mortgage or related security agreement for each Mortgage Loan secured by a hospitality property creates a security interest in the revenues of such property for which a UCC financing statement has been filed in the appropriate filing office.

6.     Mortgage Status; Waivers and Modifications. Since origination and except by written instruments set forth in the related Mortgage File or as otherwise provided in the related Mortgage Loan Documents (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; (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 such Mortgaged Property; and (c) neither Mortgagor nor guarantor has been released from its obligations under the Mortgage Loan. 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 since January 16, 2016.

7.     Lien; Valid Assignment. Subject to the Insolvency Qualifications, each endorsement and assignment of Mortgage and assignment of Assignment of Leases (if a separate instrument from the Mortgage) from the Seller constitutes a legal, valid and binding endorsement or assignment from the 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 if identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, leasehold) interest in the Mortgaged Property in the principal amount of such

B-2
 

Mortgage Loan or allocated loan amount (subject only to Permitted Encumbrances (as defined below)), except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Insolvency Qualifications. Such Mortgaged Property (subject to Permitted Encumbrances) as of origination was, and as of the Cut-off Date to the Seller’s knowledge, is free and clear of any recorded mechanics’ liens, recorded materialmen’s liens and other recorded encumbrances, and to the Seller’s knowledge and subject to the rights of tenants, 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 insured against by a lender’s title insurance policy (as described below). Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid and enforceable lien on property described therein subject to Permitted Encumbrances, except as such enforcement may be limited by Insolvency Qualifications subject to the limitations described in clause (11) 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 extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of Uniform Commercial Code financing statements is required in order to effect such perfection.

The assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Depositor validly and effectively transfers and conveys all legal and beneficial ownership of the Mortgage Loans to the Depositor free and clear of any pledge, lien, encumbrance or security interest (subject to certain agreements regarding servicing as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subservicing agreements permitted thereunder and any Servicing Rights Purchase Agreement, dated as of the Closing Date, among the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Seller).

8.     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 specifically identified in the Title Policy; (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 which the Mortgage Loan Documents do not require to be subordinated to the lien of such Mortgage; and (f) if the related Mortgage Loan constitutes a cross-collateralized Mortgage Loan, the lien of the Mortgage for another Mortgage Loan contained in the same cross-collateralized group, provided that none of items (a) through (f), individually or in the aggregate, materially interferes with the value, current use or operation of the Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or with 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

B-3
 

due (collectively, the “Permitted Encumbrances”). 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 and no claims have been made by the Seller thereunder and no claims have been paid thereunder. Neither the Seller, nor to the 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. Each Title Policy contains no exclusion for, or affirmatively insures (except for any Mortgaged Property located in a jurisdiction where such affirmative insurance is not available in which case such exclusion may exist), (a) that the Mortgaged Property shown on the survey is the same as the property legally described in the Mortgage, and (b) to the extent that the Mortgaged Property consists of two or more adjoining parcels, such parcels are contiguous.

9.     Junior Liens. It being understood that B notes secured by the same Mortgage as a Mortgage Loan are not subordinate mortgages or junior liens, there are no subordinate mortgages or junior liens encumbering the related Mortgaged Property. The Seller has no knowledge of any mezzanine debt related to the Mortgaged Property and secured directly by the ownership interests in the Mortgagor.

10.   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). 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, 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 Insolvency Qualifications; no person other than the related Mortgagor owns any interest in any payments due under such lease or leases that is superior to or of equal priority with the lender’s interest therein. The related Mortgage or related Assignment of Leases, subject to applicable law, provides for, upon an event of default under the Mortgage Loan, a receiver 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.

11.   Financing Statements. Each Mortgage Loan or related security agreement establishes a valid security interest in, and a UCC-1 financing statement has been filed (except, in the case of fixtures, the Mortgage constitutes a fixture filing) in all places necessary to perfect a valid security interest in, the personal property (the creation and perfection of which is governed by the UCC) owned by the Mortgagor and necessary to operate any Mortgaged Property in its current use other than (1) non-material personal property, (2) personal property subject to purchase money security interests and (3) personal property that is leased equipment. Each UCC-1 financing statement, if any, filed with respect to personal property constituting a part of the related Mortgaged Property and each UCC-3 assignment, if any, filed with respect to such financing statement was in suitable form for filing in the filing office in which such financing statement was filed.

B-4
 

12.   Condition of Property. The Seller or the originator of the Mortgage Loan inspected or caused to be inspected each related Mortgaged Property within four 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, which indicates that, except as set forth in such engineering report or with respect to which repairs were required to be reserved for or made, all building systems for the improvements of each related Mortgaged Property are in good working order, and further indicates that each related Mortgaged Property (a) is free of any material damage, (b) is in good repair and condition, and (c) is free of structural defects, except to the extent (i) any damage or deficiencies that would not materially and adversely affect the use, operation or value of the Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or repairs with respect to such damage or deficiencies estimated to cost less than $50,000 in the aggregate per Mortgaged Property; (ii) such repairs have been completed; or (iii) escrows in an aggregate amount consistent with the standards utilized by the Seller with respect to similar loans it originates for securitization have been established, which escrows will in all events be in an aggregate amount not less than the estimated cost of such repairs. The Seller has no knowledge of any material issues with the physical condition of the Mortgaged Property that the Seller believes would have a material adverse effect on the use, operation or value of the Mortgaged Property other than those disclosed in the engineering report and those addressed in sub-clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of the preceding sentence.

13.   Taxes and Assessments. As of the date of origination and as of the Closing Date, all taxes and governmental assessments and other outstanding governmental charges (including, without limitation, water and sewage charges) due with respect to the Mortgaged Property (excluding any related personal property) securing a Mortgage Loan that is or if left unpaid could become a lien on the related Mortgaged Property that would be of equal or superior priority to the lien of the Mortgage and that became due and delinquent and owing prior to the Cut-off Date with respect to each related Mortgaged Property have been paid, or, if the appropriate amount of such taxes or charges is being appealed or is otherwise in dispute, the unpaid taxes or charges are covered by an escrow of funds or other security sufficient to pay such tax or charge and reasonably estimated interest and penalties, if any, thereon. For purposes of this representation and warranty, real property taxes, governmental assessments and other outstanding governmental charges shall not be considered delinquent until the date on which interest and/or penalties would be payable thereon.

14.   Condemnation. As of the date of origination and to the Seller’s knowledge as of the Closing Date, there is no proceeding pending or threatened for the total or partial condemnation of such Mortgaged Property that would have a material adverse effect on the use or operation of the Mortgaged Property.

15.   Actions Concerning Mortgage Loan. As of the date of origination and to the Seller’s knowledge as of the Closing Date, there was no pending, filed or threatened action, suit or proceeding, arbitration or governmental investigation involving any Mortgagor, guarantor, or Mortgaged Property, an adverse outcome of which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect (a) title to the Mortgaged Property, (b) the validity or enforceability of the

B-5
 

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 use, operation or value of the Mortgaged Property, (f) the principal benefit of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage Loan Documents, (g) the current ability of the Mortgaged Property to generate net cash flow sufficient to service such Mortgage Loan, or (h) the current principal use of the Mortgaged Property.

16.   Escrow Deposits. All escrow deposits and payments required pursuant to each Mortgage Loan (including capital improvements and environmental remediation reserves) are in the possession, or under the control, of the Seller or its servicer, and there are no deficiencies (subject to any applicable grace or cure periods) in connection therewith, and all such escrows and deposits (or the right thereto) that are required under the related Mortgage Loan Documents are being conveyed by the Seller to the Depositor or its servicer and identified as such with appropriate detail. Any and all requirements under the Mortgage Loan as to completion of any material improvements and as to disbursements of any funds escrowed for such purpose, which requirements were to have been complied with on or before Closing Date, have been complied with in all material respects or the funds so escrowed have not been released unless such release was consistent with proper and prudent commercial mortgage servicing practices or such released funds were otherwise used for their intended purpose. No other escrow amounts have been released except in accordance with the terms and conditions of the related Mortgage Loan Documents.

17.   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), and any requirements or conditions to disbursements of any loan proceeds held in escrow have been satisfied with respect to any disbursement of any such escrow fund prior to the Cut-off Date.

18.   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” (for a Mortgage Loan with a principal balance below $35 million) and “A:VIII” (for a Mortgage Loan with a principal balance of $35 million or more) from A.M. Best Company or “A3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or “A-” from Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (collectively 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.

B-6
 

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 (i) covers a period of not less than 12 months (or with respect to each Mortgage Loan with a principal balance of $35 million or more, 18 months); (ii) for a Mortgage Loan with a principal balance of $50 million or more contains a 180-day “extended period of indemnity”; and (iii) covers the actual loss sustained during restoration.

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 the maximum amount available under the National Flood Insurance Program, plus such additional excess flood coverage in an amount as is generally required by the Seller originating mortgage loans for securitization.

If windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or “named storms” are excluded from the primary property damage insurance policy the Mortgaged Property is insured by a separate windstorm insurance policy issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements or endorsement covering damage from windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or named storms, in an amount at least equal to 100% of the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of the Improvements and personalty and fixtures owned by the Mortgagor and included in the related Mortgaged Property by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements.

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 broad-form coverage for property damage, contractual damage and personal injury (including bodily injury and death) in amounts as are generally required by the Seller for loans originated 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 (“PML”) for the Mortgaged Property in the event of an earthquake. In such instance, the PML or equivalent 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 or equivalent 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 Investors Service, Inc. or “A-” by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services in an amount not less than 100% of the PML or the equivalent.

The Mortgage Loan Documents require 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, 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 together with any accrued interest thereon.

B-7
 

All premiums on all insurance policies referred to in this section required 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 general liability insurance policy, as named or additional insured. Such insurance policies will inure to the benefit of the Trustee (or the Non-Serviced Trustee for Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans). 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 the Seller.

19.   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 appropriate 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 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.

20.   No Encroachments. To the Seller’s knowledge and 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, (a) 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 are insured by applicable provisions of the Title Policy, (b) 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 are insured by applicable provisions of the Title Policy and (c) 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 are insured by applicable provisions of the Title Policy.

21.   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 the Seller.

B-8
 

22.     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 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 buildings and structural components thereof, 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 (1) the amount of any lien on the real property interest that is senior to the Mortgage Loan and (2) 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 Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(1)(ii)). If the Mortgage Loan or related Whole 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 related Whole 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 or related Whole 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 or related Whole Loan constitute “customary prepayment penalties” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(2). All terms used in this paragraph shall have the same meanings as set forth in the related Treasury Regulations.

23.     Compliance. The terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents evidencing such Mortgage Loan, comply in all material respects with all applicable local, state and federal laws and regulations, and the Seller has complied with all material requirements pertaining to the origination of the Mortgage Loans, including but not limited to, usury and any and all other material requirements of any federal, state or local law to the extent non-compliance would have a material adverse effect on the Mortgage Loan.

24.     Authorized to do Business. To the extent required under applicable law, as of the Closing Date or as of the date that such entity held the Note, each holder of the 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.

25.     Trustee under Deed of Trust. With respect to each Mortgage which is a deed of trust, 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 related

B-9
 

security for such Mortgage Loan, no fees are payable to such trustee except for reasonable fees paid by the Mortgagor.

26.     Local Law Compliance. To the Seller’s knowledge, based solely 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 the 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 are in material compliance with applicable laws, zoning ordinances, rules, covenants, and restrictions (collectively “Zoning Regulations”) governing the occupancy, use, and operation of such Mortgaged Property or constitute a legal non-conforming use or structure and any non-conformity with zoning laws constitutes a legal non-conforming use or structure which does not materially and adversely affect the use or operation of such Mortgaged Property. In the event of casualty or destruction, (a) the Mortgaged Property may be restored or repaired to the extent necessary to maintain the use of the structure immediately prior to such casualty or destruction, (b) law and ordinance insurance coverage has been obtained for the Mortgaged Property in amounts customarily required by the Seller for loans originated for securitization that provides coverage for additional costs to rebuild and/or repair the property to current Zoning Regulations, (c) the inability to restore the Mortgaged Property to the full extent of the use or structure immediately prior to the casualty would not materially and adversely affect the use or operation of such Mortgaged Property, or (d) title insurance coverage has been obtained for such nonconformity.

27.     Licenses and Permits. Each Mortgagor covenants in the Mortgage Loan Documents that it shall keep all material licenses, permits, franchises, certificates of occupancy, consents, and other approvals necessary for the operation of the Mortgaged Property in full force and effect, and to the Seller s knowledge based upon any of a letter from any government authorities or other affirmative investigation of local law compliance consistent with the investigation conducted by the Seller for similar commercial and multifamily mortgage loans intended for securitization; all such material licenses, permits, franchises, certificates of occupancy, consents, and other approvals are in effect or the failure to obtain or maintain such material licenses, permits, franchises or certificates of occupancy does not materially and adversely affect the use and/or operation of the Mortgaged Property as it was used and operated as of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan or the rights of a holder of the related Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Loan requires the related Mortgagor to be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged Property is located and for the Mortgagor and the Mortgaged Property to be in compliance in all material respects with all regulations, zoning and building laws.

28.     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, as of the date of origination of the related Mortgage Loan, has assets other than equity in the related Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis) in any of the following events: (i) if any petition for bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or liquidation pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law, shall be filed by, consented to, or acquiesced in by, the Mortgagor; (ii) Mortgagor or guarantor shall have colluded with other creditors to

B-10
 

cause an involuntary bankruptcy filing with respect to the Mortgagor or (iii) transfers of either the Mortgaged Property or equity interests in 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, as of the date of origination of the related Mortgage Loan, has assets other than equity in the related Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis), for losses and damages sustained in the case of (i) (A) misapplication, misappropriation or conversion of insurance proceeds or condemnation awards or of rents following an event of default, or (B) any security deposits not 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); (ii) the Mortgagor’s fraud or intentional misrepresentation; (iii) willful misconduct by the Mortgagor or guarantor; (iv) breaches of the environmental covenants in the Mortgage Loan Documents; or (v) commission of material physical waste at the Mortgaged Property, which may, with respect to this clause (v), in certain instances, be limited to acts or omissions of the related Mortgagor, guarantor, property manager or their affiliates, employees or agents.

29.     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 of not less than a specified percentage at least equal to 115% of the related allocated loan amount of such portion of the Mortgaged Property, (b) upon payment in full of such Mortgage Loan, (c) upon a Defeasance (defined in paragraph (34) 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 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 Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b)(2) 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), for any Mortgage Loan originated after December 6, 2010, if the fair market value of the real property constituting such Mortgaged Property after the release (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 the real property that is in parity with the Mortgage Loan) is not equal to at least 80% of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan or related Whole Loan 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 of the Code.

In the case of any Mortgage Loan originated after December 6, 2010, 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 related Whole Loan in an amount not less

B-11
 

than the amount required by the REMIC Provisions of the Code and, to such extent, such amount 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 the 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 related Whole Loan.

In the case of any Mortgage Loan originated after December 6, 2010, no such Mortgage Loan that is secured by more than one Mortgaged Property or that is cross-collateralized with another 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 the loan-to-value ratio and other requirements of the REMIC Provisions of the Code.

30.     Financial Reporting and Rent Rolls. Each Mortgage requires the Mortgagor to provide the owner or holder of the Mortgage 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 an annual combined balance sheet of the Mortgagor entities (and no other entities), together with the related combined statements of operations, members’ capital and cash flows, including a combining balance sheet and statement of income for the Mortgaged Properties on a combined basis and (ii) for 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.

31.     Acts of Terrorism Exclusion.

With respect to each other Mortgage Loan, the related special all-risk insurance policy and business interruption policy (issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements) did not, as of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, and, to the Seller’s knowledge, do not, as of the Cut-off Date, specifically exclude Acts of Terrorism, as defined in 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 availability on commercially reasonable terms.

32.     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 and/or complying with the requirements of the related Mortgage Loan

33.     Single-Purpose Entity. Each Mortgage Loan requires 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 $20 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 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 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 Mortgage Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with the related Mortgage Loan), and that it holds itself out as a legal entity, separate and apart from any other person or entity.

B-13
 

34.     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 Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii), 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 (A) the maturity date, (B) on or after the first date on which payment may be made without payment of a yield maintenance charge or prepayment penalty or (C) if the Mortgage Loan is an ARD Loan, the entire principal balance outstanding on the related Anticipated Repayment Date, 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 115% of the allocated loan amount for the real property to be released; (iv) the defeasance collateral is not permitted to be subject to prepayment, call, or early redemption; (v) the Mortgagor is required to provide a certification from an independent certified public accountant that the collateral is sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the Note as set forth 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 Trustee 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 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.

35.     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 an ARD Loan and situations where default interest is imposed.

36.     Ground Leases. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Ground Lease” shall mean 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 and buildings and other improvements, if any, 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.

With respect to any Mortgage Loan where the Mortgage Loan is secured by a ground leasehold estate 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 the Seller, its successors and assigns:

 (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

B-14
 

and does not restrict the use of the related Mortgaged Property by such lessee, its successors or assigns in a manner that would adversely affect the security provided by the related Mortgage. To the Seller’s knowledge, 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) that the Ground Lease may not be amended, modified, canceled or terminated without the prior written consent of the lender and that any such action without such consent is not binding on the lender, its successors or assigns;

(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 borrower 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);

(D)          The Ground Lease is not subject to any interests, estates, liens or encumbrances superior to, or of equal priority with, the Mortgage, except for the related fee interest of the ground lessor and the Permitted Encumbrances;

(E)          The Ground Lease does not place commercially unreasonable restrictions on the identity of the Mortgagee and the Ground Lease is assignable to the holder of the Mortgage Loan and its successors and assigns without the consent of the lessor thereunder, and in the event it is so assigned, it is further assignable by the holder of the Mortgage Loan and its successors and assigns without the consent of the lessor;

(F)          The Seller has not received any written notice of default under or notice of termination of such Ground Lease. To the Seller’s knowledge, there is no default under such Ground Lease and no condition that, but for the passage of time or giving of notice, would result in a default under the terms of such Ground Lease and to the Seller’s knowledge, such Ground Lease is in full force and effect as of the Closing Date;

(G)          The Ground Lease or ancillary agreement between the lessor and the lessee requires the lessor to give to the lender written notice of any default, provides that no notice of default or termination is effective unless such notice is given to the lender, and requires that the ground lessor will supply an estoppel;

(H)          A lender is permitted a reasonable opportunity (including, where necessary, sufficient time to gain possession of the interest of the lessee under the Ground Lease through legal proceedings) to cure any default under the Ground Lease which is curable after the lender’s receipt of notice of any default before the lessor may terminate the Ground Lease;

(I)          The Ground Lease does not impose any restrictions on subletting that would be viewed as commercially unreasonable by the Seller in connection with loans originated for securitization;

B-15
 

(J)          Under the terms of the Ground Lease, an estoppel or other agreement received from the ground lessor and the related Mortgage (taken together), any related insurance proceeds or the portion of the condemnation award allocable to the ground lessee’s interest (other than in respect of a total or substantially total loss or taking as addressed in subpart (K)) will be applied either to the repair or to restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property with (so long as such proceeds are in excess of the threshold amount specified in the related Mortgage Loan Documents) the lender or a trustee appointed by it having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as repair or restoration progresses, or to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, together with any accrued interest;

(K)          In the case of a total or substantial taking or loss, under the terms of the Ground Lease, an estoppel or other agreement and the related Mortgage (taken together), any related insurance proceeds, or portion of the condemnation award allocable to ground lessee’s interest in respect of a total or substantially total loss or taking of the related Mortgaged Property to the extent not applied to restoration, will be applied first to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, together with any accrued interest; and

(L)          Provided that the lender cures any defaults which are susceptible to being cured, the ground lessor has agreed to enter into a new lease with lender upon termination of the Ground Lease for any reason, including rejection of the Ground Lease in a bankruptcy proceeding.

37.   Servicing.

Each ARD Loan has an Anticipated Repayment Date not less than five years following the origination of such Mortgage Loan. If the related Mortgagor elects not to prepay its ARD Loan in full on or prior to the Anticipated Repayment Date pursuant to the existing terms of the Mortgage Loan or a unilateral option (as defined in Treasury Regulations under Section 1001 of the Code) in the Mortgage Loan exercisable during the term of the Mortgage Loan, (i) the Mortgage Loan’s interest rate will step up to an interest rate per annum as specified in the related Mortgage Loan Documents; provided, however, that payment of such Excess Interest shall be deferred until the principal of such ARD Loan has been paid in full; (ii) all or a substantial portion of the excess cash flow (which is net of certain costs associated with owning, managing and operating the related Mortgaged Property) collected after the Anticipated Repayment Date shall be applied towards the prepayment of such ARD Loan and once the principal balance of an ARD Loan has been reduced to zero all excess cash flow will be applied to the payment of accrued Excess Interest; and (iii) if the property manager for the related Mortgaged Property can be removed by or at the direction of the mortgagee on the basis of a debt service coverage test, the subject debt service coverage ratio shall be calculated without taking account of any increase in the related

B-16
 

Mortgage Rate on such Mortgage Loan’s Anticipated Repayment Date. No ARD Loan provides that the property manager for the related Mortgaged Property can be removed by or at the direction of the mortgagee solely because of the passage of the related Anticipated Repayment Date.

39.   Rent Rolls; Operating Histories. The Seller has obtained a rent roll (each, a “Certified Rent Roll”) other than with respect to hospitality properties certified by the related Mortgagor or the related guarantor(s) as accurate and complete in all material respects as of a date within 180 days of the date of origination of the related Mortgage Loan.

SECTION 1          Sale and Conveyance of Mortgages; Possession of Mortgage File. The Seller does hereby sell, transfer, assign, set over and convey to the Purchaser, without recourse (except as otherwise specifically set forth herein) (subject to the rights of each holder of an interest in any related Companion Loan, as and to the extent applicable), all of its right, title and interest (subject to certain agreements regarding servicing as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, certain subservicing agreements permitted thereunder and any agreement to the appointment of the Master Servicer, dated prior to or as of the Closing Date, among the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Seller (any such agreement a “Servicing Rights Purchase Agreement”)) in and to the Mortgage Loans identified on Exhibit A to this Agreement (the “Mortgage Loan Schedule”) including all interest and principal received on or with respect to the Mortgage Loans after the Cut-off Date (and, in any event, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, excluding payments of principal and interest first due on the Mortgage Loans on or before the Cut-off Date, and excluding any defeasance rights and obligations of the Seller with respect to the Mortgage Loans).  In addition, on the Closing Date, the Seller shall cause to be delivered to the Depositor a cash amount (the “Interest Deposit Amount”) with respect to each Mortgage Loan that accrues interest on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days during each one-month interest accrual period, to be deposited by the Depositor into the Interest Reserve Account on behalf of the Seller and for the benefit of the Trust Fund, which Interest

 

 

 

 

Deposit Amount for each such Mortgage Loan shall represent an amount equal to one day of interest at the related Net Mortgage Rate on the related Cut-Off Date Principal Balance of such Mortgage Loan. Upon the sale of the Mortgage Loans, the ownership of each related Mortgage Note, the Seller’s interest in the related Mortgage represented by the Mortgage Note and the other contents of the related Mortgage File (subject to the rights of each holder of an interest in any related Companion Loan, as and to the extent applicable), will be vested in the Purchaser and immediately thereafter the Trustee, and the ownership of records and documents with respect to each Mortgage Loan prepared by or which come into the possession of the Seller shall (subject to the rights of each holder of an interest in any related Companion Loan, as and to the extent applicable) immediately vest in the Purchaser and immediately thereafter the Trustee. In connection with the transfer of the FedEx Brooklyn Mortgage Loan pursuant to this Section 1, the Seller does hereby assign to the Purchaser all of its rights, title and interest (solely in its capacity as the holder of each of the FedEx Brooklyn Mortgage Loan, as applicable) in, to and under the related Intercreditor Agreement (it being understood and agreed that the Seller does not assign any right, title or interest that it or any other party may have thereunder in its capacity as holder of any related Companion Loan, if applicable). The Purchaser will sell certain of the Certificates (the “Public Certificates”) to the underwriters (the “Underwriters”) specified in the Underwriting Agreement, dated as of January 26, 2016 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), between the Purchaser and the Underwriters, and the Purchaser will sell certain of the Certificates (the “Private Certificates”) to the initial purchaser (the “Initial Purchaser” and, collectively with the Underwriters, the “Dealers”) specified in the Purchase Agreement, dated as of January 26, 2016 (the “Certificate Purchase Agreement”), between the Purchaser and Initial Purchaser.

 

The sale and conveyance of the Mortgage Loans is being conducted on an arms-length basis and upon commercially reasonable terms. As consideration for the Mortgage Loans, the Purchaser shall pay, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to the Seller or at the Seller’s direction $141,304,148, plus accrued interest on the Mortgage Loans (excluding transaction expenses) from and including February 1, 2016 to but excluding the Closing Date (but subject to certain post-settlement adjustments for expenses incurred by the Underwriters and the Initial Purchaser on behalf of the Depositor and for which the Seller is specifically responsible).

Any funds due after the Cut-off Date in connection with a Mortgage Loan received by the Seller shall be held in trust on behalf of the Trustee (for the benefit of the Certificateholders) as the owner of such Mortgage Loan and shall be transferred promptly to the Certificate Administrator. All scheduled payments of principal and interest due on or before the Cut-off Date but collected after the Cut-off Date, and all recoveries and payments of principal and interest collected on or before the Cut-off Date (only in respect of principal and interest on the Mortgage Loans due on or before the Cut-off Date and principal prepayments thereon), shall belong to, and shall be promptly remitted to, the Seller.

The transfer of each Mortgage Loan shall be reflected on the Seller’s balance sheets (and any consolidated balance sheet that includes the Seller) and other financial statements as the sale of such Mortgage Loan by the Seller to the Purchaser.

(a)  The Purchaser hereby directs the Seller, and the Seller hereby agrees, such agreement effective upon the transfer of the Mortgage Loans contemplated herein, to deliver or cause to be delivered to the Custodian (on behalf of the Trustee), the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, respectively, on the dates set forth in Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, all documents, instruments and agreements required to be delivered by the Purchaser, or contemplated to be delivered by the Seller (whether at the direction of the Purchaser or otherwise), to the Custodian, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer, as applicable, with respect to the Mortgage Loans under Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and meeting all the requirements of such Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; provided that the Seller shall not be required to deliver any draft documents, privileged communications, credit underwriting, due diligence analyses or data or internal worksheets, memoranda, communications or evaluations.

Pursuant to Section 1 hereof, the Seller has (subject to the limitations set forth therein) conveyed to the Purchaser all of its right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans. The parties intend that such conveyance of the Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute a purchase and sale and not a loan. If such conveyance is deemed to be a pledge and not a sale, then the parties also intend and agree that the Seller shall be deemed to have granted, and in such event does hereby grant, to the Purchaser, a first priority security interest in all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Mortgage Loans, all payments of principal or interest on such Mortgage Loans due after the Cut-off Date, all other payments made in respect of such Mortgage Loans after the Cut-off Date (and, in any event, excluding scheduled payments of principal and interest due on or before the Cut-off Date) and all proceeds thereof, and that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law. If such conveyance is deemed to be a pledge and not a sale, the Seller consents to the Purchaser hypothecating and transferring such security interest in favor of the Trustee and transferring the obligation secured thereby to the Trustee.

Mortgage and each related UCC financing statement referred to in the definition of Mortgage File from the Seller to the Trustee as and to the extent contemplated under Section 2.01(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. All out of pocket costs and expenses relating to the recordation or filing of such assignments, assignments of Mortgage and financing statements shall be paid by the Seller. If any such document or instrument is lost or returned unrecorded or unfiled, as the case may be, because of a defect therein, then the Seller shall prepare or cause the preparation of a substitute therefor or cure such defect or cause such defect to be cured, as the case may be, and the Seller shall record or file, or cause the recording or filing of, such substitute or corrected document or instrument or, with respect to any assignments that the Custodian has agreed to record or file pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, deliver such substitute or corrected document or instrument to the Custodian (or, if the Mortgage Loan is then no longer subject to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the then holder of such Mortgage Loan);

 

(b)          as to each Mortgage Loan, except with respect to any Mortgage Loan that is a Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, if the Seller cannot deliver or cause to be delivered the documents and/or instruments referred to in clauses (ii), (iv), (vii) (if recorded), (ix) and (x) of the definition of “Mortgage File” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement solely because of a delay caused by the public recording or filing office where such document or instrument has been delivered for recordation or filing, as applicable, it shall forward to the Custodian a copy of the original certified by the Seller to be a true and complete copy of the original thereof submitted for recording. The Seller shall cause each assignment referred to in Section (5)(a) above that is recorded and the file copy of each UCC financing statement assignment referred to in Section (5)(a) above to reflect that it should be returned by the public recording or filing office to the Custodian or its agent following recording (or, alternatively, to the Seller or its designee, in which case the Seller shall deliver or cause the delivery of the recorded original to the Custodian promptly following receipt); provided that, in those instances where the public recording office retains the original assignment of Mortgage or assignment of Assignment of Leases, the Custodian shall obtain therefrom a certified copy of the recorded original. On a monthly basis, at the expense of the Seller, the Custodian shall forward to the Master Servicer a copy of each of the aforementioned assignments following the Custodian’s receipt thereof;

 

(c)          it shall take any action reasonably required by the Purchaser, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Master Servicer in order to assist and facilitate the transfer of the servicing of the Mortgage Loans (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans) to the Master Servicer, including effectuating the transfer of any letters of credit with respect to any Mortgage Loan (other than any Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans) to the Master Servicer on behalf of the Trustee for the benefit of Certificateholders (and, in the case of each Serviced Whole Loan, the holder of the related Serviced Companion Loan, as and to the extent applicable). Prior to the date that a letter of credit with respect to any Mortgage Loan is transferred to the Master Servicer, the Seller will cooperate with the reasonable requests of the Master Servicer or Special Servicer, as applicable, in connection with effectuating a draw under such letter of credit as required under the terms of the related Mortgage Loan documents;

(e)          if (during the period of time that the Underwriters are required, under applicable law, to deliver a prospectus related to the Public Certificates in connection with sales of the Public Certificates by an Underwriter or a dealer) the Seller has obtained actual knowledge of undisclosed or corrected information related to an event that occurred prior to the Closing Date, which event causes there to be an untrue statement of a material fact with respect to the Mortgage Loans (including any related Whole Loan, including, without limitation, the servicing terms thereof if not serviced under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, including the identification of the parties to the related Other Pooling and Servicing Agreement), the related borrowers, the related Mortgaged Property and the Seller and its affiliates (collectively, the “Seller Matters”) contained in the Offering Documents, or causes there to be an omission to state therein a material fact with respect to the Seller Matters required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein with respect to the Seller Matters, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, then the Seller shall promptly notify the Dealers and the Depositor. If as a result of any such event the Dealers’ legal counsel determines that it is necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus, dated January 28, 2016 relating to the Public Certificates, the annexes and exhibits thereto, or the Offering Circular dated January 26, 2016 relating to the Private Certificates, the annexes and exhibits thereto (collectively, the “Offering Documents”) in order to correct the untrue statement, or to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances when the Offering Documents are delivered to a purchaser, not misleading, or to make the Offering Documents in compliance with applicable law, the Seller shall (to the extent that such amendment or supplement solely relates to the Seller Matters) at the expense of the Seller, do all things reasonably necessary to assist the Depositor to prepare and furnish to the Dealers, such amendments or supplements to the Offering Documents as may be necessary so that the Offering Documents, as so amended or supplemented, will not contain an untrue statement with respect to the Seller Matters, will not, in the light of the circumstances when the Offering Documents are delivered to a purchaser, be misleading with respect to the Seller Matters and will comply with applicable law.

(g)          for so long as the Trust (or any Other Securitization that holds a related Companion Loan) is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Seller shall provide the Purchaser (or with respect to the FedEx Brooklyn Companion Loan, if such Companion Loan (or a portion thereof) is deposited into another securitization, the depositor of such securitization) and the Certificate Administrator with any Additional Form 10-D Disclosure, any Additional Form 10-K Disclosure and any Form 8-K Disclosure Information

(iii)         The execution and delivery of each Operative Document by the Seller and the performance of its obligations hereunder and thereunder will not conflict with any provision of any law or regulation to which the Seller is subject, or conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any of the Seller’s organizational documents or any agreement or instrument to which the Seller is a party or by which it is bound, or any order or decree applicable to the Seller, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien on any of the Seller’s assets or property, in each case which would materially and adversely affect the ability of the Seller to carry out the transactions contemplated by the Operative Documents;

(vii)        The transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser is not subject to bulk transfer laws or any similar statutory provisions in effect in any applicable jurisdiction;

 

(viii)       The Seller has no actual knowledge that any statement, report, officer’s certificate or other document prepared and furnished or to be furnished by such Seller in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (including, without limitation, any financial cash flow models and underwriting file abstracts furnished by such Seller) (collectively, the “Provided Information”) contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or, to the extent that it has become aware of any material misstatement or omission in any Provided Information, the Seller has notified the Purchaser in writing of such material misstatement or omission at least one Business Day prior to the Time of Sale (as defined in the Indemnification Agreement) and updated such Provided Information or the material misstatement or omission has been corrected in the Time of Sale Information (as defined in the Indemnification Agreement); and

(x)           Except for the agreed-upon procedures report obtained from the accounting firm engaged to perform procedures involving a comparison of information in loan files for the Mortgage Loans to information on a data tape relating to the Mortgage Loans (such report, the “Accountants’ Due Diligence Report”), the Seller has not obtained (and, through and including the Closing Date, will not obtain without the consent of the Purchaser) any “third party due diligence report” (as defined in Rule 15Ga-

 

-10

 

 

2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)(“Rule 15Ga-2”)) in connection with the securitization transaction contemplated herein and in the Offering Documents and, except for the accountants with respect to the Accountants’ Due Diligence Report, the Seller has not employed (and, through and including the Closing Date, will not employ without the consent of the Purchaser) any third party to engage in any activity that constitutes “due diligence services” within the meaning of Rule 17g-10 under the Exchange Act in connection with the transactions contemplated herein and in the Offering Documents. The Seller further represents and warrants that no portion of the Accountants’ Due Diligence Report contains, with respect to the information contained therein with respect to the Mortgage Loans, any names, addresses, other personal identifiers or zip codes with respect to any individuals, or any other personally identifiable or other information that would be associated with an individual, including without limitation any “nonpublic personal information” within the meaning of Title V of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999.

(b)          The Purchaser represents and warrants to the Seller as of the Closing Date that:

 

(i)           The Purchaser is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with full corporate power and authority to own its assets and conduct its business, is duly qualified as a foreign corporation in good standing in all jurisdictions in which the ownership or lease of its property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified would not have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Purchaser to perform its obligations hereunder, and the Purchaser has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by it, and has duly executed and delivered this Agreement, and has the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and all the transactions contemplated hereby;

 

(ii)          Assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Seller, this Agreement will constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law);

 

(iii)         The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Purchaser and the performance of its obligations hereunder will not conflict with any provision of any law or regulation to which the Purchaser is subject, or conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any of the Purchaser’s organizational documents or any agreement or instrument to which the Purchaser is a party or by which it is bound, or any order or decree applicable to the Purchaser, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien on any of the Purchaser’s

(iv)         There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the Purchaser’s knowledge, threatened against the Purchaser in any court or by or before any other governmental agency or instrumentality which would materially and adversely affect the validity of this Agreement or any action taken in connection with the obligations of the Purchaser contemplated herein, or which would be likely to impair materially the ability of the Purchaser to perform under the terms of this Agreement;

 

(v)          The Purchaser is not in default with respect to any order or decree of any court or any order, regulation or demand of any federal, state, municipal or governmental agency, which default might have consequences that would materially and adversely affect the condition (financial or other) or operations of the Purchaser or its properties or might have consequences that would materially and adversely affect its performance under any Operative Document;

 

(vi)         No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or governmental agency or body is required for the execution, delivery and performance by the Purchaser of or compliance by the Purchaser with this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement other than those that have been obtained by the Purchaser and other than those, which if not obtained, will not have a material adverse effect on the validity or enforceability against the Purchaser of this Agreement or on the ability of the Purchaser to perform its obligations under this Agreement; and

 

(vii)        The Purchaser (A) prepared one or more reports on Form ABS-15G (each, a “Form 15G”) containing the findings and conclusions of the Accountants’ Due Diligence Report and meeting the requirements of Form 15G, Rule 15Ga-2 and any other rules and regulations of the Commission and the Exchange Act; (B) provided a copy of the final draft of each such Form 15G to the Underwriters and Initial Purchaser at least six (6) Business Days before the first sale in the offering contemplated by the Offering Documents; and (C) furnished each such Form 15G to the Commission on EDGAR at least five (5) Business Days before the first sale in the offering contemplated by the Offering Documents as required by Rule 15Ga-2.

(d)          Pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, if (i) any party thereto discovers or receives notice alleging a Material Defect or (ii) the Special Servicer or the Purchaser receives a Repurchase Request, such party is required to give prompt written notice thereof to the Seller, the Directing Certificateholder (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event), the parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, any related Companion Loan Holder (if applicable) and the 17g-5 Information Provider.

 

(e)          Pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, if any Certificateholder, the Directing Certificateholder, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate

 

-12

 

 

Administrator, the Operating Advisor (solely in its capacity as Operating Advisor) or the Trustee discovers or receives notice alleging a Material Defect, then such Certificateholder, Directing Certificateholder, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor (solely in its capacity as Operating Advisor) or the Trustee will be required to give prompt written notice thereof to the Seller, the parties to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and the Directing Certificateholder (prior to the occurrence and continuance of a Consultation Termination Event). Promptly upon becoming aware of any such Material Defect (including through a written notice given by the Certificateholder, the Directing Certificateholder, the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Operating Advisor (solely in its capacity as Operating Advisor) or the Trustee, as provided above), the Seller shall, not later than 90 days after (i) except in the case of the succeeding clause (ii), the applicable Seller’s discovery of the Material Defect or receipt of such notice or (ii) in the case of a Material Defect relating to a Mortgage Loan not being a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code, 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, the earlier of (x) the discovery by the Seller or any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement of such Material Defect or (y) receipt of notice of a discovery of such Material Defect from any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Seller, cure the same in all material respects (which cure shall include payment of any losses and additional trust fund expenses associated therewith) or, if such Material Defect cannot be cured within such 90 day period, the Seller shall either (i) substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan for such affected Mortgage Loan (provided that in no event shall any such substitution occur later than the second anniversary of the Closing Date) and pay the Master Servicer, for deposit into the Collection Account, any Substitution Shortfall Amount in connection therewith or (ii) repurchase the affected Mortgage Loan or any related REO Property (or the Trust’s interest therein) at the applicable Purchase Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Collection Account; provided, however, that if (i) such Material Defect is capable of being cured but not within such 90 day period, (ii) such Material Defect is not related to any Mortgage Loan’s not being a Qualified Mortgage and (iii) the Seller has commenced and is diligently proceeding with the cure of such Material Defect within such 90 day period, then the Seller shall have an additional 90 days to complete such cure (or, in the event of a failure to so cure, to complete such repurchase of the related Mortgage Loan or substitute a Qualified Substitute Mortgage Loan as described above) it being understood and agreed that, in connection with the Seller’s receiving such additional 90 day period, the Seller shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator setting forth the reasons such Material Defect is not capable of being cured within the initial 90 day period and what actions the Seller is pursuing in connection with the cure thereof and stating that the Seller anticipates that such Material Defect will be cured within such additional 90 day period; and provided, further, that, if any such Material Defect is still not cured after the initial 90 day period and any such additional 90 day period solely due to the failure of the Seller to have received the recorded document, then the Seller shall be entitled to continue to defer its cure, substitution or repurchase obligations in respect of such Material Defect so long as the Seller certifies to the Trustee, the Special Servicer and the Certificate Administrator every 30 days thereafter that the Material Defect is still in effect solely because of its failure to have received the recorded document and that the Seller is diligently pursuing the cure of such defect (specifying the actions being taken), except that no such deferral of cure, substitution or repurchase may continue beyond the date that is 18 months

 

-13

 

 

following the Closing Date. Any such repurchase or substitution of a Mortgage Loan shall be on a whole loan, servicing released basis. The Seller shall have no obligation to monitor the Mortgage Loans regarding the existence of a Breach or a Defect, but if the Seller discovers a Material Defect with respect to a Mortgage Loan, it shall notify the Purchaser.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6(e), in lieu of the Seller performing its repurchase or substitution obligations with respect to any Material Defect provided in this Section 6(e), to the extent that the Seller and the Purchaser (or, following the assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Trust, the Special Servicer on behalf of the Trust, and, if no Control Termination Event has occurred and is continuing, with the consent of the Directing Certificateholder) are able to agree upon the Loss of Value Payment for a Breach or Defect, the Seller may elect, in its sole discretion, to pay such Loss of Value Payment to the Purchaser (or its assignee); provided that a Material Defect as a result of a Mortgage Loan not constituting a Qualified Mortgage Loan, may not be cured by a Loss of Value Payment. Upon its making such payment, the Seller shall be deemed to have cured such Material Defect in all respects. Provided such payment is made, this paragraph describes the sole remedy available to the Purchaser and its assignees regarding any such Material Defect, and the Seller shall not be obligated to repurchase or replace the related Mortgage Loan or otherwise cure such Material Defect.

 

If any Breach pertains to a representation or warranty to the effect that the related Mortgage Loan documents or any particular Mortgage Loan document requires the related Mortgagor to bear the costs and expenses associated with any particular action or matter under such Mortgage Loan document(s), then the Seller shall not be required to repurchase or replace such Mortgage Loan and the sole remedy with respect to any Breach of such representation shall be to cure such Breach within the applicable cure period (as the same may be extended) by reimbursing the Trust (by wire transfer of immediately available funds) for (i) the reasonable amount of any such costs and expenses incurred by the Master Servicer, the Special Servicer, the Certificate Administrator, the Trustee or the Trust that are the basis of such Breach and have not been reimbursed by the related Mortgagor and (ii) the amount of any fees and reimbursable expenses of the Asset Representations Reviewer attributable to the Asset Review of such Mortgage Loan; provided, however, that in the event any such costs and expenses exceed $10,000, the Seller shall have the option to either repurchase or substitute for the related Mortgage Loan as provided above or pay such costs and expenses.  If the Seller elects to pay such costs and expenses, the Seller shall remit the amount to the Special Servicer for disbursement to the applicable persons and upon its making such remittance, the Seller shall be deemed to have cured such Breach in all respects.  To the extent any fees or expenses that are the subject of a cure by the Seller are subsequently obtained from the related Mortgagor, the portion of the cure payment equal to such fees or expenses obtained from the Mortgagor shall be returned to the Seller pursuant to Section 2.03(b) or Section 2.03(g), as applicable, of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.  No delay in either the discovery of a Material Defect on the part of any party to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement in providing notice of such Material Defect will relieve the Seller of its obligation to repurchase or substitute the related Mortgage Loan unless (i) the Seller did not otherwise discover or have knowledge of such Material Defect and (ii) such delay is the result of the failure by a party to this Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to provide prompt notice as required by the terms hereof or of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement after such party has actual knowledge of such Material Defect (for the

 

-14

 

 

avoidance of doubt, knowledge shall not be deemed to exist by reason of the Custodial Exception Report) and such delay precludes the Seller from curing such Material Defect.

 

If there is a Material Defect with respect to one or more Mortgaged Properties securing a Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall 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 Property(ies) satisfy the requirements, if any, set forth in the Mortgage Loan documents and the Seller provides an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such release does not (A) cause either Trust REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or (B) result in the imposition of a tax upon either Trust REMIC or the Trust and (iii) each applicable Rating Agency has provided a Rating Agency Confirmation.

 

Subject to the Seller’s right to cure set forth above in this Section 6(e), and further subject to Sections 2.01(b) and 2.01(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, any of the following will cause a document in the Mortgage File delivered by the Seller for any Mortgage Loan to be deemed to have a “Defect” that constitutes a Material Defect and to be conclusively presumed to materially and adversely affect the interests of Certificateholders in a Mortgage Loan (but solely with respect to clause (a)) and to be deemed to materially and adversely affect the interests of the Certificateholders in and the value of a Mortgage Loan: (a) the absence from the Mortgage File of the original signed Mortgage Note, unless the Mortgage File contains a signed lost note affidavit and indemnity with a copy of the Mortgage Note that appears to be regular on its face; (b) the absence from the Mortgage File of the original signed Mortgage that appears to be regular on its face, unless there is included in the Mortgage File either a copy of the Mortgage with evidence of recording thereon or a copy of the Mortgage and a certificate from the related Seller stating that the original signed Mortgage was sent for recordation; (c) the absence from the Mortgage File of the lender’s title insurance policy issued on the date of the origination of such Mortgage Loan (or, if such policy has not been issued or located, an irrevocable, binding commitment (which may be a marked version of the policy that has been executed by an authorized representative of the title company or an agreement to provide the same pursuant to binding escrow instructions executed by an authorized representative of the title company)) called for by clause (viii) of the definition of “Mortgage File” in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement; (d) the absence from the Mortgage File of any intervening assignments required to create a complete chain of assignments to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust, unless there is included in the Mortgage File either a copy of the assignment with evidence of recording thereon or a copy of the intervening assignment and a certificate from the Seller stating that the original intervening assignments were sent for filing or recordation, as applicable; (e) the absence from the Mortgage File of any required letter of credit (except as permitted under Section 2.01(b) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement); or (f) with respect to any related leasehold Mortgage Loan, the absence from the related Mortgage File of a copy (or an original, if available) of the related Ground Lease; provided, however, that no Defect (except Defects described in clauses (a) through (f) above) shall be considered to materially and adversely affect the value of the related Mortgage Loan, the value of the related Mortgage Property or the interests of the Trustee or Certificateholders unless the document with respect to which the Defect exists is required in connection with an imminent enforcement of the lender’s rights or remedies under the related Mortgage Loan, defending any claim asserted by any Mortgagor or third party with respect to the related Mortgage Loan, establishing the validity or priority of any

 

-15

 

 

lien on any collateral securing the related Mortgage Loan or for any immediate significant servicing obligation.

 

(f)          In connection with any repurchase or substitution of one or more Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Section 6, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall provide that the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Custodian, the Master Servicer and the Special Servicer shall each tender to the repurchasing entity, upon delivery to each of them of a receipt executed by the repurchasing or substituting entity evidencing such repurchase or substitution, all portions of the Mortgage File, the Servicing File and other documents and all Escrow Payments and reserve funds pertaining to such Mortgage Loan possessed by it, and each document that constitutes a part of the Mortgage File shall be endorsed or assigned to the extent necessary or appropriate to the repurchasing or substituting entity or its designee in the same manner, but only if the respective documents have been previously assigned or endorsed to the Trustee, and pursuant to appropriate forms of assignment, substantially similar to the manner and forms pursuant to which such documents were previously assigned to the Trustee or as otherwise reasonably requested to effect the retransfer and reconveyance of the Mortgage Loan and the security therefor to the Seller or its designee; provided that such tender by the Trustee and the Custodian shall be conditioned upon its receipt from the Master Servicer of a Request for Release and an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that the requirements for repurchase or substitution, as the case may be, have been satisfied.

 

(g)          The representations and warranties of the parties hereto shall survive the execution and delivery and any termination of this Agreement and shall inure to the benefit of the respective parties, notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on the Mortgage Notes or Assignment of Mortgage or the examination of the Mortgage Files.

 

(h)          Each party hereto agrees to promptly notify the other party of any breach of a representation or warranty contained in SECTION 6(c) of this Agreement. The Seller’s obligation to cure any Material Defect, to repurchase or substitute any affected Mortgage Loan or pay the Loss of Value Payment or other required payment pursuant to this Section 6 shall constitute the sole remedy available to the Purchaser in connection with a breach of any of the Seller’s representations or warranties contained in or made pursuant to SECTION 6(c) of this Agreement or a Defect with respect to any Mortgage Loan.

 

(i)           The Seller shall promptly notify the Purchaser if (i) the Seller receives a Repurchase Communication of a Repurchase Request (other than from the Purchaser), (ii) the Seller repurchases or replaces a Mortgage Loan, (iii) the Seller receives a Repurchase Communication of a withdrawal of a Repurchase Request of which notice has been previously received or given and which withdrawal is by the Person making such Repurchase Request (a “Repurchase Request Withdrawal”) (other than from the Purchaser) or (iv) the Seller rejects or disputes any Repurchase Request. Each such notice shall be given no later than the tenth (10th) Business Day after (A) with respect to clauses (i) and (iii) of the preceding sentence, receipt of a Repurchase Communication of a Repurchase Request or a Repurchase Request Withdrawal, as applicable, and (B) with respect to clauses (ii) and (iv) of the preceding sentence, the occurrence of the event giving rise to the requirement for such notice, and shall include (1) the identity of the related Mortgage Loan, (2) the date (x) such Repurchase Communication of such Repurchase Request or Repurchase Request Withdrawal was received, (y) the related Mortgage Loan was

 

-16

 

 

repurchased or replaced or (z) the Repurchase Request was rejected or disputed, as applicable, and (3) if known, the basis for (x) the Repurchase Request (as asserted in the Repurchase Request) or (y) any rejection or dispute of a Repurchase Request, as applicable.

 

The Seller shall provide to the Purchaser and the Certificate Administrator the Seller’s “Central Index Key” number assigned by the Securities and Exchange Commission and a true, correct and complete copy of the relevant portions of any Form ABS-15G that the Seller is required to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the Mortgage Loans on or before the date that is five (5) Business Days before the date such Form ABS-15G is required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing obligation shall not prohibit the Seller from filing a Form ABS-15G on or prior to the date on which such copy is provided to the Purchaser and the Certificate Administrator.

 

In addition, the Seller shall provide the Purchaser, upon request, such other information in its possession as would permit the Purchaser to comply with its obligations under Rule 15Ga-1 under the Exchange Act to disclose fulfilled and unfulfilled repurchase requests. Any such information requested shall be provided as promptly as practicable after such request is made.

 

The Seller agrees that no Person that is required to provide a 15Ga-1 Notice (a “15Ga-1 Notice Provider”) will be required to provide information in a 15Ga-1 Notice that is protected by the attorney-client privilege or attorney work product doctrines. In addition, the Seller hereby acknowledges that (i) any 15Ga-1 Notice provided pursuant to Section 2.02(g) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is so provided only to assist the Seller, the Depositor and their respective Affiliates to comply with Rule 15Ga-1 under the Exchange Act, Items 1104 and 1121 of Regulation AB and any other requirement of law or regulation and (ii)(A) no action taken by, or inaction of, a 15Ga-1 Notice Provider and (B) no information provided pursuant to Section 2.02(g) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by a 15Ga-1 Notice Provider in a 15Ga-1 Notice shall be deemed to constitute a waiver or defense to the exercise of any legal right the 15Ga-1 Notice Provider may have with respect to this Agreement, including with respect to any Repurchase Request that is the subject of a 15Ga-1 Notice.

 

Each party hereto agrees that the receipt of a 15Ga-1 Notice or the delivery of any notice required to be delivered pursuant to this SECTION 6(i) shall not, in and of itself, constitute delivery of notice of, receipt of notice of, or knowledge of the Seller of, any Material Defect.

 

Each party hereto agrees and acknowledges that, as of the date of this Agreement, the “Central Index Key” number of the Trust is 0001661136.

 

Repurchase Communication” means, for purposes of this Section 6(i) only, any communication, whether oral or written, which need not be in any specific form.

 

SECTION 7          Review of Mortgage File. The Purchaser shall require the Custodian pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement to review the Mortgage Files pursuant to Section 2.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and if it finds any document or

 

-17

SECTION 18          Amendment. This Agreement may be amended only by a written instrument which specifically refers to this Agreement and is executed by the Purchaser and the Seller. This Agreement shall not be deemed to be amended orally or by virtue of any continuing custom or practice. No amendment to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement which changes in any manner (i) any defined term contained therein, (ii) any obligations or rights of the Seller herein or otherwise or (iii) any rights of the Seller as a third-party beneficiary of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be effective against the Seller unless the Seller shall have agreed to such amendment in writing.

Except as set forth in SECTION 6(h) of this Agreement, the rights and remedies herein expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which any party would otherwise have pursuant to law or equity.

EXHIBIT B

MORTGAGE LOAN REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

 

1.     Complete Servicing File. All documents comprising the Servicing File will be or have been delivered to the Master Servicer with respect to each Mortgage Loan by the deadlines set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and/or this Agreement.

 

2.          Whole Loan; Ownership of Mortgage Loans. Except with respect to each Serviced Mortgage Loan and each Non-Serviced Mortgage Loan, each Mortgage Loan is a whole loan and not an interest in a mortgage loan. Each Mortgage Loan is a senior portion (or a pari passu portion of a senior portion) of a whole mortgage loan evidenced by a senior note. Immediately prior to the sale, transfer and assignment to the Depositor, no Note or Mortgage was subject to any assignment (other than assignments to the Seller), participation (other than with respect to Serviced Mortgage Loans and the Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans) or pledge, and the Seller had good and marketable title to, and was the sole owner of, each Mortgage Loan free and clear of any and all liens, charges, pledges, encumbrances, participations (other than with respect to any Co-Lender Agreement with respect to a Whole Loan) (subject to certain agreements regarding servicing and/or defeasance successor borrower rights as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subservicing agreements permitted thereunder and that certain Servicing Rights Purchase Agreement, dated as of the Closing Date between the Master Servicer and the Seller), any other ownership interests and other interests on, in or to such Mortgage Loan (subject to certain agreements regarding servicing and/or defeasance successor borrower rights as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subservicing agreements permitted thereunder and any Servicing Rights Purchase Agreement, dated as of the Closing Date, among the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Seller). The Seller has full right and authority to sell, assign and transfer each Mortgage Loan, and the assignment to the Depositor 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 (subject to certain agreements regarding servicing and/or defeasance successor borrower rights as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subservicing agreements permitted thereunder and any Servicing Rights Purchase Agreement, dated as of the Closing Date, among the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Seller).

 

3.     Loan Document Status. Each related 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 as such enforcement may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law and except that certain provisions in such Mortgage Loan Documents (including, without limitation, provisions requiring the payment of default interest, late fees or prepayment/yield maintenance premiums) may be further limited or

 

 B-1

 

 

rendered unenforceable by applicable law, but (subject to the limitations set forth above) such limitations or unenforceability will not render such Mortgage Loan Documents invalid as a whole or materially interfere with the mortgagee’s realization of the principal benefits and/or security provided thereby (clauses (i) and (ii) collectively, the “Insolvency 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 the Seller in connection with the origination of the Mortgage Loan, that would deny the mortgagee the principal benefits intended to be provided by the Note, Mortgage or other Mortgage Loan Documents.

 

4.     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 Insolvency Qualifications.

 

5.     Hospitality Provisions. The Mortgage Loan Documents for each Mortgage Loan that is secured by a hospitality property operated pursuant to a franchise agreement includes an executed comfort letter or similar agreement signed by the Mortgagor and franchisor of such property enforceable by the Trust against such franchisor, either directly or as an assignee of the originator. The Mortgage or related security agreement for each Mortgage Loan secured by a hospitality property creates a security interest in the revenues of such property for which a UCC financing statement has been filed in the appropriate filing office.

 

6.     Mortgage Status; Waivers and Modifications. Since origination and except by written instruments set forth in the related Mortgage File or as otherwise provided in the related Mortgage Loan Documents (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; (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 such Mortgaged Property; and (c) neither Mortgagor nor guarantor has been released from its obligations under the Mortgage Loan. 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 since January 16, 2016.

 

7.          Lien; Valid Assignment. Subject to the Insolvency Qualifications, each endorsement and assignment of Mortgage and assignment of Assignment of Leases (if a separate instrument from the Mortgage) from the Seller constitutes a legal, valid and binding endorsement or assignment from the 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 if identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule, leasehold) interest in the Mortgaged Property in the principal amount of such

 

 B-2

 

 

Mortgage Loan or allocated loan amount (subject only to Permitted Encumbrances (as defined below)), except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by the Insolvency Qualifications. Such Mortgaged Property (subject to Permitted Encumbrances) as of origination was, and as of the Cut-off Date to the Seller’s knowledge, is free and clear of any recorded mechanics’ liens, recorded materialmen’s liens and other recorded encumbrances, and to the Seller’s knowledge and subject to the rights of tenants, 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 insured against by a lender’s title insurance policy (as described below). Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan establishes and creates a valid and enforceable lien on property described therein subject to Permitted Encumbrances, except as such enforcement may be limited by Insolvency Qualifications subject to the limitations described in clause (11) 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 extent that possession or control of such items or actions other than the filing of Uniform Commercial Code financing statements is required in order to effect such perfection.

 

The assignment of the Mortgage Loans to the Depositor validly and effectively transfers and conveys all legal and beneficial ownership of the Mortgage Loans to the Depositor free and clear of any pledge, lien, encumbrance or security interest (subject to certain agreements regarding servicing as provided in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, subservicing agreements permitted thereunder and any Servicing Rights Purchase Agreement, dated as of the Closing Date, among the Depositor, the Master Servicer and the Seller).

 

8.     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 specifically identified in the Title Policy; (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 which the Mortgage Loan Documents do not require to be subordinated to the lien of such Mortgage; and (f) if the related Mortgage Loan constitutes a cross-collateralized Mortgage Loan, the lien of the Mortgage for another Mortgage Loan contained in the same cross-collateralized group, provided that none of items (a) through (f), individually or in the aggregate, materially interferes with the value, current use or operation of the Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or with 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

 

 B-3

 

 

due (collectively, the “Permitted Encumbrances”). 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 and no claims have been made by the Seller thereunder and no claims have been paid thereunder. Neither the Seller, nor to the 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. Each Title Policy contains no exclusion for, or affirmatively insures (except for any Mortgaged Property located in a jurisdiction where such affirmative insurance is not available in which case such exclusion may exist), (a) that the Mortgaged Property shown on the survey is the same as the property legally described in the Mortgage, and (b) to the extent that the Mortgaged Property consists of two or more adjoining parcels, such parcels are contiguous.

 

9.     Junior Liens. It being understood that B notes secured by the same Mortgage as a Mortgage Loan are not subordinate mortgages or junior liens, there are no subordinate mortgages or junior liens encumbering the related Mortgaged Property. The Seller has no knowledge of any mezzanine debt related to the Mortgaged Property and secured directly by the ownership interests in the Mortgagor.

 

10.   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). 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, 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 Insolvency Qualifications; no person other than the related Mortgagor owns any interest in any payments due under such lease or leases that is superior to or of equal priority with the lender’s interest therein. The related Mortgage or related Assignment of Leases, subject to applicable law, provides for, upon an event of default under the Mortgage Loan, a receiver 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.

 

11.   Financing Statements. Each Mortgage Loan or related security agreement establishes a valid security interest in, and a UCC-1 financing statement has been filed (except, in the case of fixtures, the Mortgage constitutes a fixture filing) in all places necessary to perfect a valid security interest in, the personal property (the creation and perfection of which is governed by the UCC) owned by the Mortgagor and necessary to operate any Mortgaged Property in its current use other than (1) non-material personal property, (2) personal property subject to purchase money security interests and (3) personal property that is leased equipment. Each UCC-1 financing statement, if any, filed with respect to personal property constituting a part of the related Mortgaged Property and each UCC-3 assignment, if any, filed with respect to such financing statement was in suitable form for filing in the filing office in which such financing statement was filed.

 

 B-4

 

 

12.   Condition of Property. The Seller or the originator of the Mortgage Loan inspected or caused to be inspected each related Mortgaged Property within four 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, which indicates that, except as set forth in such engineering report or with respect to which repairs were required to be reserved for or made, all building systems for the improvements of each related Mortgaged Property are in good working order, and further indicates that each related Mortgaged Property (a) is free of any material damage, (b) is in good repair and condition, and (c) is free of structural defects, except to the extent (i) any damage or deficiencies that would not materially and adversely affect the use, operation or value of the Mortgaged Property or the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage or repairs with respect to such damage or deficiencies estimated to cost less than $50,000 in the aggregate per Mortgaged Property; (ii) such repairs have been completed; or (iii) escrows in an aggregate amount consistent with the standards utilized by the Seller with respect to similar loans it originates for securitization have been established, which escrows will in all events be in an aggregate amount not less than the estimated cost of such repairs. The Seller has no knowledge of any material issues with the physical condition of the Mortgaged Property that the Seller believes would have a material adverse effect on the use, operation or value of the Mortgaged Property other than those disclosed in the engineering report and those addressed in sub-clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of the preceding sentence.

 

13.   Taxes and Assessments. As of the date of origination and as of the Closing Date, all taxes and governmental assessments and other outstanding governmental charges (including, without limitation, water and sewage charges) due with respect to the Mortgaged Property (excluding any related personal property) securing a Mortgage Loan that is or if left unpaid could become a lien on the related Mortgaged Property that would be of equal or superior priority to the lien of the Mortgage and that became due and delinquent and owing prior to the Cut-off Date with respect to each related Mortgaged Property have been paid, or, if the appropriate amount of such taxes or charges is being appealed or is otherwise in dispute, the unpaid taxes or charges are covered by an escrow of funds or other security sufficient to pay such tax or charge and reasonably estimated interest and penalties, if any, thereon. For purposes of this representation and warranty, real property taxes, governmental assessments and other outstanding governmental charges shall not be considered delinquent until the date on which interest and/or penalties would be payable thereon.

 

14.   Condemnation. As of the date of origination and to the Seller’s knowledge as of the Closing Date, there is no proceeding pending or threatened for the total or partial condemnation of such Mortgaged Property that would have a material adverse effect on the use or operation of the Mortgaged Property.

 

15.   Actions Concerning Mortgage Loan. As of the date of origination and to the Seller’s knowledge as of the Closing Date, there was no pending, filed or threatened action, suit or proceeding, arbitration or governmental investigation involving any Mortgagor, guarantor, or Mortgaged Property, an adverse outcome of which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect (a) title to the Mortgaged Property, (b) the validity or enforceability of the

 

 B-5

 

 

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 use, operation or value of the Mortgaged Property, (f) the principal benefit of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage Loan Documents, (g) the current ability of the Mortgaged Property to generate net cash flow sufficient to service such Mortgage Loan, or (h) the current principal use of the Mortgaged Property.

 

16.   Escrow Deposits. All escrow deposits and payments required pursuant to each Mortgage Loan (including capital improvements and environmental remediation reserves) are in the possession, or under the control, of the Seller or its servicer, and there are no deficiencies (subject to any applicable grace or cure periods) in connection therewith, and all such escrows and deposits (or the right thereto) that are required under the related Mortgage Loan Documents are being conveyed by the Seller to the Depositor or its servicer and identified as such with appropriate detail. Any and all requirements under the Mortgage Loan as to completion of any material improvements and as to disbursements of any funds escrowed for such purpose, which requirements were to have been complied with on or before Closing Date, have been complied with in all material respects or the funds so escrowed have not been released unless such release was consistent with proper and prudent commercial mortgage servicing practices or such released funds were otherwise used for their intended purpose. No other escrow amounts have been released except in accordance with the terms and conditions of the related Mortgage Loan Documents.

 

17.   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), and any requirements or conditions to disbursements of any loan proceeds held in escrow have been satisfied with respect to any disbursement of any such escrow fund prior to the Cut-off Date.

 

18.   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” (for a Mortgage Loan with a principal balance below $35 million) and “A:VIII” (for a Mortgage Loan with a principal balance of $35 million or more) from A.M. Best Company or “A3” (or the equivalent) from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or “A-” from Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (collectively 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.

 

 B-6

 

 

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 (i) covers a period of not less than 12 months (or with respect to each Mortgage Loan with a principal balance of $35 million or more, 18 months); (ii) for a Mortgage Loan with a principal balance of $50 million or more contains a 180-day “extended period of indemnity”; and (iii) covers the actual loss sustained during restoration.

 

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 the maximum amount available under the National Flood Insurance Program, plus such additional excess flood coverage in an amount as is generally required by the Seller originating mortgage loans for securitization.

 

If windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or “named storms” are excluded from the primary property damage insurance policy the Mortgaged Property is insured by a separate windstorm insurance policy issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements or endorsement covering damage from windstorm and/or windstorm related perils and/or named storms, in an amount at least equal to 100% of the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of the Improvements and personalty and fixtures owned by the Mortgagor and included in the related Mortgaged Property by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements.

 

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 broad-form coverage for property damage, contractual damage and personal injury (including bodily injury and death) in amounts as are generally required by the Seller for loans originated 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 (“PML”) for the Mortgaged Property in the event of an earthquake. In such instance, the PML or equivalent 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 or equivalent 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 Investors Service, Inc. or “A-” by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services in an amount not less than 100% of the PML or the equivalent.

 

The Mortgage Loan Documents require 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, 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 together with any accrued interest thereon.

 

 B-7

 

 

All premiums on all insurance policies referred to in this section required 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 general liability insurance policy, as named or additional insured. Such insurance policies will inure to the benefit of the Trustee (or the Non-Serviced Trustee for Non-Serviced Mortgage Loans). 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 the Seller.

 

19.   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 appropriate 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 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.

 

20.   No Encroachments. To the Seller’s knowledge and 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, (a) 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 are insured by applicable provisions of the Title Policy, (b) 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 are insured by applicable provisions of the Title Policy and (c) 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 are insured by applicable provisions of the Title Policy.

 

21.   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 the Seller.

 

 B-8

 

 

22.          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 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 buildings and structural components thereof, 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 (1) the amount of any lien on the real property interest that is senior to the Mortgage Loan and (2) 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 Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(1)(ii)). If the Mortgage Loan or related Whole 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 related Whole 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 or related Whole 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 or related Whole Loan constitute “customary prepayment penalties” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-1(b)(2). All terms used in this paragraph shall have the same meanings as set forth in the related Treasury Regulations.

 

23.   Compliance. The terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents evidencing such Mortgage Loan, comply in all material respects with all applicable local, state and federal laws and regulations, and the Seller has complied with all material requirements pertaining to the origination of the Mortgage Loans, including but not limited to, usury and any and all other material requirements of any federal, state or local law to the extent non-compliance would have a material adverse effect on the Mortgage Loan.

 

24.   Authorized to do Business. To the extent required under applicable law, as of the Closing Date or as of the date that such entity held the Note, each holder of the 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.

 

25.   Trustee under Deed of Trust. With respect to each Mortgage which is a deed of trust, 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 related

 

 B-9

 

 

security for such Mortgage Loan, no fees are payable to such trustee except for reasonable fees paid by the Mortgagor.

 

26.   Local Law Compliance. To the Seller’s knowledge, based solely 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 the 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 are in material compliance with applicable laws, zoning ordinances, rules, covenants, and restrictions (collectively “Zoning Regulations”) governing the occupancy, use, and operation of such Mortgaged Property or constitute a legal non-conforming use or structure and any non-conformity with zoning laws constitutes a legal non-conforming use or structure which does not materially and adversely affect the use or operation of such Mortgaged Property. In the event of casualty or destruction, (a) the Mortgaged Property may be restored or repaired to the extent necessary to maintain the use of the structure immediately prior to such casualty or destruction, (b) law and ordinance insurance coverage has been obtained for the Mortgaged Property in amounts customarily required by the Seller for loans originated for securitization that provides coverage for additional costs to rebuild and/or repair the property to current Zoning Regulations, (c) the inability to restore the Mortgaged Property to the full extent of the use or structure immediately prior to the casualty would not materially and adversely affect the use or operation of such Mortgaged Property, or (d) title insurance coverage has been obtained for such nonconformity.

 

27.   Licenses and Permits. Each Mortgagor covenants in the Mortgage Loan Documents that it shall keep all material licenses, permits, franchises, certificates of occupancy, consents, and other approvals necessary for the operation of the Mortgaged Property in full force and effect, and to the Seller s knowledge based upon any of a letter from any government authorities or other affirmative investigation of local law compliance consistent with the investigation conducted by the Seller for similar commercial and multifamily mortgage loans intended for securitization; all such material licenses, permits, franchises, certificates of occupancy, consents, and other approvals are in effect or the failure to obtain or maintain such material licenses, permits, franchises or certificates of occupancy does not materially and adversely affect the use and/or operation of the Mortgaged Property as it was used and operated as of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan or the rights of a holder of the related Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Loan requires the related Mortgagor to be qualified to do business in the jurisdiction in which the related Mortgaged Property is located and for the Mortgagor and the Mortgaged Property to be in compliance in all material respects with all regulations, zoning and building laws.

 

28.   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, as of the date of origination of the related Mortgage Loan, has assets other than equity in the related Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis) in any of the following events: (i) if any petition for bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or liquidation pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law, shall be filed by, consented to, or acquiesced in by, the Mortgagor; (ii) Mortgagor or guarantor shall have colluded with other creditors to

 

 B-10

 

 

cause an involuntary bankruptcy filing with respect to the Mortgagor or (iii) transfers of either the Mortgaged Property or equity interests in 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, as of the date of origination of the related Mortgage Loan, has assets other than equity in the related Mortgaged Property that are not de minimis), for losses and damages sustained in the case of (i) (A) misapplication, misappropriation or conversion of insurance proceeds or condemnation awards or of rents following an event of default, or (B) any security deposits not 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); (ii) the Mortgagor’s fraud or intentional misrepresentation; (iii) willful misconduct by the Mortgagor or guarantor; (iv) breaches of the environmental covenants in the Mortgage Loan Documents; or (v) commission of material physical waste at the Mortgaged Property, which may, with respect to this clause (v), in certain instances, be limited to acts or omissions of the related Mortgagor, guarantor, property manager or their affiliates, employees or agents.

 

29.          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 of not less than a specified percentage at least equal to 115% of the related allocated loan amount of such portion of the Mortgaged Property, (b) upon payment in full of such Mortgage Loan, (c) upon a Defeasance (defined in paragraph (34) 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 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 Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(b)(2) 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), for any Mortgage Loan originated after December 6, 2010, if the fair market value of the real property constituting such Mortgaged Property after the release (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 the real property that is in parity with the Mortgage Loan) is not equal to at least 80% of the principal balance of the Mortgage Loan or related Whole Loan 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 of the Code.

 

In the case of any Mortgage Loan originated after December 6, 2010, 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 related Whole Loan in an amount not less

 

 B-11

 

 

than the amount required by the REMIC Provisions of the Code and, to such extent, such amount 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 the 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 related Whole Loan.

 

In the case of any Mortgage Loan originated after December 6, 2010, no such Mortgage Loan that is secured by more than one Mortgaged Property or that is cross-collateralized with another 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 the loan-to-value ratio and other requirements of the REMIC Provisions of the Code.

 

30.   Financial Reporting and Rent Rolls. Each Mortgage requires the Mortgagor to provide the owner or holder of the Mortgage 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 an annual combined balance sheet of the Mortgagor entities (and no other entities), together with the related combined statements of operations, members’ capital and cash flows, including a combining balance sheet and statement of income for the Mortgaged Properties on a combined basis and (ii) for 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.

 

31.   Acts of Terrorism Exclusion. With respect to each Mortgage Loan over $20 million, the related special-form all-risk insurance policy and business interruption policy (issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements) do not specifically 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 (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 other Mortgage Loan, the related special all-risk insurance policy and business interruption policy (issued by an insurer meeting the Insurance Rating Requirements) did not, as of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan, and, to the Seller’s knowledge, do not, as of the Cut-off Date, specifically exclude Acts of Terrorism, as defined in 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 availability on commercially reasonable terms.

 

32.   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 and/or complying with the requirements of the related Mortgage Loan

 

 B-12

 

 

Documents (which provide for transfers without the consent of the lender which are customarily acceptable to the Seller lending on the security of property comparable to the related Mortgaged Property, such as 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 controlling equity interest 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 a controlling interest in a 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, (v) transfers of common stock in publicly traded companies, (vi) a substitution or release of collateral within the parameters of paragraphs 29 and 34 in this Exhibit B, or (vii) by reason of any mezzanine debt that existed at the origination of the related Mortgage Loan, or future permitted mezzanine debt or (b) the related Mortgaged Property is encumbered with a subordinate lien or security interest against the related Mortgaged Property, other than (i) any Companion Loan of any Mortgage 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 Mortgage Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with another Mortgage Loan 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 responsible for such payment along with all other reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Mortgagee relative to such transfer or encumbrance.

 

33.   Single-Purpose Entity. Each Mortgage Loan requires 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 $20 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 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 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 Mortgage Loan that is cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with the related Mortgage Loan), and that it holds itself out as a legal entity, separate and apart from any other person or entity.

 

 B-13

 

 

34.   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 Treasury Regulations Section 1.860G-2(a)(8)(ii), 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 (A) the maturity date, (B) on or after the first date on which payment may be made without payment of a yield maintenance charge or prepayment penalty or (C) if the Mortgage Loan is an ARD Loan, the entire principal balance outstanding on the related Anticipated Repayment Date, 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 115% of the allocated loan amount for the real property to be released; (iv) the defeasance collateral is not permitted to be subject to prepayment, call, or early redemption; (v) the Mortgagor is required to provide a certification from an independent certified public accountant that the collateral is sufficient to make all scheduled payments under the Note as set forth 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 Trustee 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 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.

 

35.   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 an ARD Loan and situations where default interest is imposed.

 

36.   Ground Leases. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Ground Lease” shall mean 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 and buildings and other improvements, if any, 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.

 

With respect to any Mortgage Loan where the Mortgage Loan is secured by a ground leasehold estate 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 the Seller, its successors and assigns:

 

(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

 

 B-14

 

 

and does not restrict the use of the related Mortgaged Property by such lessee, its successors or assigns in a manner that would adversely affect the security provided by the related Mortgage. To the Seller’s knowledge, 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) that the Ground Lease may not be amended, modified, canceled or terminated without the prior written consent of the lender and that any such action without such consent is not binding on the lender, its successors or assigns;

 

(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 borrower 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);

 

(D)          The Ground Lease is not subject to any interests, estates, liens or encumbrances superior to, or of equal priority with, the Mortgage, except for the related fee interest of the ground lessor and the Permitted Encumbrances;

 

(E)          The Ground Lease does not place commercially unreasonable restrictions on the identity of the Mortgagee and the Ground Lease is assignable to the holder of the Mortgage Loan and its successors and assigns without the consent of the lessor thereunder, and in the event it is so assigned, it is further assignable by the holder of the Mortgage Loan and its successors and assigns without the consent of the lessor;

 

(F)          The Seller has not received any written notice of default under or notice of termination of such Ground Lease. To the Seller’s knowledge, there is no default under such Ground Lease and no condition that, but for the passage of time or giving of notice, would result in a default under the terms of such Ground Lease and to the Seller’s knowledge, such Ground Lease is in full force and effect as of the Closing Date;

 

(G)          The Ground Lease or ancillary agreement between the lessor and the lessee requires the lessor to give to the lender written notice of any default, provides that no notice of default or termination is effective unless such notice is given to the lender, and requires that the ground lessor will supply an estoppel;

 

(H)          A lender is permitted a reasonable opportunity (including, where necessary, sufficient time to gain possession of the interest of the lessee under the Ground Lease through legal proceedings) to cure any default under the Ground Lease which is curable after the lender’s receipt of notice of any default before the lessor may terminate the Ground Lease;

 

(I)           The Ground Lease does not impose any restrictions on subletting that would be viewed as commercially unreasonable by the Seller in connection with loans originated for securitization;

 

 B-15

 

 

(J)          Under the terms of the Ground Lease, an estoppel or other agreement received from the ground lessor and the related Mortgage (taken together), any related insurance proceeds or the portion of the condemnation award allocable to the ground lessee’s interest (other than in respect of a total or substantially total loss or taking as addressed in subpart (K)) will be applied either to the repair or to restoration of all or part of the related Mortgaged Property with (so long as such proceeds are in excess of the threshold amount specified in the related Mortgage Loan Documents) the lender or a trustee appointed by it having the right to hold and disburse such proceeds as repair or restoration progresses, or to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, together with any accrued interest;

 

(K)          In the case of a total or substantial taking or loss, under the terms of the Ground Lease, an estoppel or other agreement and the related Mortgage (taken together), any related insurance proceeds, or portion of the condemnation award allocable to ground lessee’s interest in respect of a total or substantially total loss or taking of the related Mortgaged Property to the extent not applied to restoration, will be applied first to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, together with any accrued interest; and

 

(L)          Provided that the lender cures any defaults which are susceptible to being cured, the ground lessor has agreed to enter into a new lease with lender upon termination of the Ground Lease for any reason, including rejection of the Ground Lease in a bankruptcy proceeding.

 

37.   Servicing. The servicing and collection practices used by the Seller in respect of each Mortgage Loan complied in all material respects with all applicable laws and regulations and was in all material respects legal, proper and prudent, in accordance with Seller’s customary commercial mortgage servicing practices.

 

38.   ARD Loans. Each Mortgage Loan identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule as an ARD Loan starts to amortize no later than the Due Date of the calendar month immediately after the calendar month in which such ARD Loan closed and substantially fully amortizes over its stated term, which term is at least 60 months after the related Anticipated Repayment Date. Each ARD Loan has an Anticipated Repayment Date not less than five years following the origination of such Mortgage Loan. If the related Mortgagor elects not to prepay its ARD Loan in full on or prior to the Anticipated Repayment Date pursuant to the existing terms of the Mortgage Loan or a unilateral option (as defined in Treasury Regulations under Section 1001 of the Code) in the Mortgage Loan exercisable during the term of the Mortgage Loan, (i) the Mortgage Loan’s interest rate will step up to an interest rate per annum as specified in the related Mortgage Loan Documents; provided, however, that payment of such Excess Interest shall be deferred until the principal of such ARD Loan has been paid in full; (ii) all or a substantial portion of the excess cash flow (which is net of certain costs associated with owning, managing and operating the related Mortgaged Property) collected after the Anticipated Repayment Date shall be applied towards the prepayment of such ARD Loan and once the principal balance of an ARD Loan has been reduced to zero all excess cash flow will be applied to the payment of accrued Excess Interest; and (iii) if the property manager for the related Mortgaged Property can be removed by or at the direction of the mortgagee on the basis of a debt service coverage test, the subject debt service coverage ratio shall be calculated without taking account of any increase in the related

 

 B-16

 

 

Mortgage Rate on such Mortgage Loan’s Anticipated Repayment Date. No ARD Loan provides that the property manager for the related Mortgaged Property can be removed by or at the direction of the mortgagee solely because of the passage of the related Anticipated Repayment Date.

 

39.   Rent Rolls; Operating Histories. The Seller has obtained a rent roll (each, a “Certified Rent Roll”) other than with respect to hospitality properties certified by the related Mortgagor or the related guarantor(s) as accurate and complete in all material respects as of a date within 180 days of the date of origination of the related Mortgage Loan.

No Mortgage Loan has been more than 30 days delinquent, without giving effect to any grace or cure period, in making required payments since origination, and as of the Closing Date, no Mortgage Loan is delinquent (beyond any applicable grace or cure period) in making required payments. To the Seller’s knowledge, there is (a) no, and since origination there has been no, material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the related Mortgage Loan, or (b) no event (other than payments due but not yet delinquent) which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, provided, however, that this representation and warranty does not cover any default, breach, violation or event of acceleration that specifically pertains to or arises out of an exception scheduled to any other representation and warranty made by the Seller in Exhibit C to this Agreement. No person other than the holder of such Mortgage Loan may declare any event of default under the Mortgage Loan or accelerate any indebtedness under the Mortgage Loan Documents.

 

41.   Bankruptcy. In respect of each Mortgage Loan, as of the date of origination of the Mortgage Loan and to the Seller’s knowledge as of the Cut-off Date, the related Mortgagor is not a debtor in any bankruptcy, receivership, conservatorship, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or similar proceeding.

 

42.   Organization of Mortgagor.

The Seller (1) required questionnaires to be completed by each Controlling Owner and guarantor or performed other processes designed to elicit information from each Controlling Owner and guarantor regarding such Controlling Owner’s or guarantor’s prior history for at least 10 years regarding any bankruptcies or other insolvencies, any felony convictions, and (2) performed or caused to be performed searches of
